Chapter 389 Only Ask Him Out

Now that the battle was urgent, Le Jin also ignored Xue Rengui for the time being, and immediately mobilized 1 troops to garrison the newly established camp in Sifang.

There were [-] soldiers and [-] county soldiers stationed in Zhuoxian County. The defense equipment had been prepared, and Le Jin went to the Sifang camp to deploy the defenses in person.

Le Jin guessed that Yan Liang's army would arrive soon, so he returned to Zhuo County, closed the city gate and waited for Yan Liang's army to attack.Liu Yulejin and others were all waiting on the South Gate City, but within half an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were seen coming from afar.

"Sure enough, Xue Rengui didn't expect it. He was right. Wen Qian, are you sure you can hold the county seat?" Liu Yu asked Le Jin with a solemn expression as he watched the tens of thousands of troops coming towards Zhuo County.

"Zhuo County is still strong, and there are plenty of food, grass and equipment in the city. Although Yan Liang's army has [-], it should not be a problem to defend the county. It's just that I don't know whether Yan Liang will divide and attack or concentrate his forces to attack one!" Le Jin said in a deep voice.

"What's the difference?" Liu Yu asked doubtfully.

"If we divide and attack, their forces will be scattered, while our army's forces will be distributed exactly in four gates, neither crowded nor insufficient. With the four camps outside the gate, they will harass at the right time, and it will be relatively easy for us to defend the city. But If they concentrate on attacking one gate, the pressure on our army will increase, because there are only so many soldiers on the tower. But they will also suffer heavy casualties, but it will be inconvenient to attack them in the camps outside the city. If Yan Liang uses his life Come fill it in, maybe you will really attack the city tower."

"However, if they concentrate on attacking one branch, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. It's probably not the case. Don't worry, my lord!" Le Jin waved his hand to comfort him.

But what Liu Yu didn't notice was the seriousness in Le Jin's eyes. Le Jin knew in his heart that Yan Liang's army didn't have much time. After all, if they were able to come to Zhuo County, they must have made up their minds to take Zhuo County. .Siege?It won't be long before Di Qing's army will return, and Yan Liang will definitely take Zhuo County with all his might.

This time defending the city will be tragic, Le Jin is just for stability!Living in Liu Yu, I said so on purpose.Yan Liang's soldiers and horses swept across the city, and when he came to the city, Yan Liang urged him to come forward: "Liu Yu, you broke the covenant and took in Ju Yi, a traitor from Jizhou, and handed over Ju Yi, otherwise you will be ruthless when the city breaks."

"Hmph, Yuan Shao is a wolf with ambition. Now that he invades Youzhou, you will never come back. If you have the guts, let him come here!" Liu Yu also stood on the city and yelled.

Now Youzhou belongs to Liu Bian, Liu Bian is the hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao's desire to compete in the world is also clearly revealed.Now that Yuan Shao is coming to attack Youzhou, how can Liu Yu have a good temper?
Liu Yu has always been known as a kind person, but now he suddenly became so tough that Yan Liang was taken aback, and said with a cold smile: "You will be tough after breaking the city, don't blame me then..."

"Shut up!" Yan Liang just wanted to say a few harsh words to scare Liu Yu with words about massacring the city, but Guo Tu hurriedly stopped and scolded in a low voice: "There is something wrong with Liu Yu. He used to be weak and can be bullied, but he is so weak today I don’t know what the purpose of being tough is for the time being. But don’t say anything about massacring the city, otherwise they will unite as one and defend the city with all their might!”

"Our army occupies the righteousness, let the soldiers shout and curse to disturb the morale of the army, and send people to build a siege ladder and concentrate on the south gate to attack the city!" Guo Tuhan said.

"As soon as they came up, they concentrated their forces to attack the south gate?" Yan Liang asked in surprise.

"Our army doesn't have much luggage, and we won't be able to wait for long, not to mention that we don't have many siege equipment. What's the use of scattered attacks? Only by concentrating troops and horses to attack one gate can we take Zhuo County!" Guo Tu said solemnly. .

Yan Liangwei wondered: "In this way, our soldiers and horses will surely suffer heavy casualties."

"So what if there are heavy casualties? If Zhuo County is captured, Youzhou will also be in your hands. What do you mean by killing or wounding soldiers?" Guo Tu sneered.

Looking at Guo Tu's cold smile, Yan Liang shuddered. Although he also came from a family, he had some feelings for him when he fought with the soldiers. Yan Liang was somewhat reluctant to take down Zhuo County with the soldiers' lives.But Guo Tu is a pure son of an aristocratic family, with the appearance of a weak scholar, but the lives of these soldiers are no different from pigs and dogs in his eyes, he is really cruel.

Yan Liang took a breath and nodded, "Di Qing's troops in Yuyang will be back in a few days, so let's attack by force and take Zhuo County with our lives!"

The two pulled their horses back and made the eloquent soldiers come forward to scold them. They used Liu Yu's betrayal of the covenant and abused them for accusing Ju Yi and other crimes. They wanted to lower the morale of the soldiers with righteousness.Taking advantage of this time, Yan Liang sent troops to build ladders and prepare to attack the city.

Yuan Shao's army cursed under the city for a while, but the regular army above the tower had a normal mentality after several years of training, and Yuan Shao's army was the aggressor no matter what.Yan Liang's army wanted to use righteousness to attack the morale of the Youzhou Army, but it was of no use after all.

But half an hour later, Yan Liang's army built dozens of siege ladders, but they moved to the south gate of the city one after another. Seeing this posture, Liu Yu's expression changed instantly: "What's the matter with Wen Qian, Yan Liang's soldiers and horses are going to use all their strength in this posture." Attacking the South Gate? How could this happen?"

Le Jin took a breath and said, "They are desperate to pay for their lives. This time it must be a fierce battle. Your lord, there are no eyes for swords and guns above the city gate. You retreat from the tower first, and I will defend the tower!"

"Kill, take Zhuo County!"

There was an overwhelming shout, and Yan Liang's army under the city also launched an attack.

Le Jin on the tower gave an order: "They are desperate to attack the south gate, but we can't stay so many soldiers at the south gate. We keep 7000 soldiers at the south gate, and [-] regular soldiers leave [-] soldiers and three thousand to prepare. If there is any loss of troops, you will come up to replenish them, and the remaining [-] regular soldiers and [-] county soldiers will go to the north gate to garrison. The remaining county soldiers will transport the defense equipment!"

"No, general!" All the generals bowed their hands and took orders.

"We are united as one, we must defend Zhuo County!" Le Jin shouted in a deep voice.

"Up and down, defend the city with one heart!" All the soldiers also shouted loudly.In the past, Yan Liang's soldiers and horses spent all their efforts to suppress the morale of the Youzhou army, but now being encouraged by Le Jin, the morale of the Youzhou army was greatly shaken.

Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses put the ladder on the city wall, and attacked the city wall amidst the shouts of killing.

The sound of shouting and killing instantly resounded for several miles, and the arrows above and below the city covered the sky and covered the earth.Yuan Shao's army climbed up the ladder and climbed towards the tower one by one holding their shields.On the city tower, golden juice and rolling stones kept falling, blasting towards Yuan Jun on the ladder.

There were endless screams, but most of them were Yuan Jun, and the arrows from the city were shooting at the tower, which still had some advantages for the defenders.

However, Yuan Jun had the upper hand in numbers, and Yan Liang deliberately used human lives to pay for it, but after a while, the corpses of more than a thousand Yuan Jun soldiers fell under the city.

"Come to me! If you take the lead, you must go to me!" Yan Liang was aggressive, and ordered his generals to take the lead in the charge.

Several generals gritted their teeth and went into battle, and some generals took the lead in fighting more fiercely, following Yuan Jun's fearless charge.The pressure on the top of the city gradually increased, and Yuan Jun had the upper hand in numbers. The soldiers below the city shot at each other. One Yuan Jun fell from the ladder, and the soldiers behind him followed closely.

At the beginning, the Youzhou Army was able to control Yuan Jun's climbing height in the middle of the ladder. As time went on, many generals of the Youzhou Army on the tower were shot by arrows because they discarded stones, and their formation gradually became chaotic.Although there were soldiers to supplement, the speed of attacking Yuan Jun gradually slowed down.Yuan Jun's climbing height was gradually able to climb from the middle of the ladder to a position close to the city wall.

As time goes by, the sky is getting darker, but so what?Even if the sight is not clear, it will not affect Yan Liang's determination to take Zhuo County.What's more, when the sky is dark and the sight is unclear, the role of the defensive weapon bows and arrows of the defenders on the tower is greatly reduced.

The fighting continued in the dark night, and the Youzhou soldiers on the city tower were already exhausted. Although some soldiers supplemented and took turns to rest from both sides, they did not have the advantage of being able to rest more than Yuan's soldiers.

With this advantage, Yuan Jun climbed up the city in the middle of the night.However, the sight is not clear in the dark night, and it is impossible to jointly occupy the tower with the friendly army to fight, and let the soldiers under the city go to the city.Although they climbed to the top of the city, they were all beheaded by the Youzhou army.

As for the functions of the several camps outside the city, they are mainly used to disperse the siege of the city and prevent Yuan Jun from looting the people.Now Yuan Jun gathered together to attack the south gate. Although the soldiers in the camp tried to come out of the camp to attack, all the soldiers and horses in Yancheng were repelled by the cavalry arranged around them.

The shouts of killing continued in the middle of the night. In the governor's mansion in the city, Liu Yu was in a hurry. Hearing the shouts of killing, Liu Yu was deeply afraid that Zhuo County would be taken by Yuan Jun.It doesn't matter if he dies, but if the city of Zhuo County is destroyed, Liu Bian's careful arrangements will fall short.

"How's the situation in the city?" As the sky gradually brightened, Liu Yu was worried, so he summoned an attendant to ask.

"Yuan Jun climbed the tower several times, but he was repulsed by General Le Jin several times. Rest assured, General Le Jin will definitely defend the city with all his might!"

"Exploring!" Liu Yu waved his hand, walking back and forth in the room!
Suddenly Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he thought of what Xue Rengui said yesterday: "If you can trust me, Xue will lead troops out of the city to kill Yan Liang, and General Le Jin will lead his troops out of the city, and they will surely defeat Yuan Jun!"

Gritting his teeth, Liu Yu murmured, "I'll believe you just once!"

While speaking, Liu Yu walked towards the prison.But after a while, Liu Yu rushed to the prison, where Xue Rengui and his four brothers were locked in a cell, with heavy guards outside the door.

"My lord, the shouts of killing are loud outside the city. Could it be that Yan Liang's army concentrated their troops and horses to attack a gate?" Xue Rengui got up and asked quickly when he saw Liu Yu.

"Yes, do you have a solution?" Liu Yu was overjoyed and asked quickly.

Xue Rengui pondered for a while, bowed and said: "Please let me go out, Yan Liang's army is desperate, and it cannot be solved by tricks. I am confident that my archery skills are unparalleled in the world. If I go out to defend the city, Xue is confident that Zhuo County is as stable as Mount Tai !"

Liu Yu looked at Xue Rengui, nodded after a long time and said: "Okay, I will let you go out, but you brothers can't go out yet, don't let me down."

"Thank you, my lord!" Xue Rengui arched his hands to Liu Yu and said to Zhou Qing and the others: "You guys are so lucky to stay here, I'll go out and defend the city!"

"Brother, take care!"

Xue Rengui nodded, followed Liu Yu out of the prison, took Fang Tian's painted halberd, and went to the south gate on the Zhentian bow.

On the city wall, many Yuan Jun had already come to the city to fight with the Youzhou Army.It's as if there is a gap in the levee, and the gap will become bigger and bigger, and more and more Yuan troops will attack the city, which will affect the Youzhou army's defense of the city, as if it is a domino effect, and it will become explosive And out of control.

"Xue Rengui is here again!" Xue Rengui came to Decheng, and immediately raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed Yuan Jun.Yuan Jun, who fought with the Youzhou army and was evenly matched, looked like a chicken and dog under Xue Rengui's Fang Tian's painted halberd. Every time Fang Tian's painted halberd was swung, one Yuan Jun fell to the city.

With Xue Rengui's joining, within a short time, with Xue Rengui's assistance, Xue Rengui went from one side of the city gate to the other side of the city gate, and Yuan Jun on the city disappeared.

As soon as Xue Rengui came out, Yuan Jun's hard work all night suddenly came to naught.
