Chapter 589
Hua Yun was enraged by Yue Xi's rampant words, so he rode his horse and raised his gun to attack Hua Yun together with Yue Xi.Hua Yun rushed to the periphery and stabbed Tai Shici with a single shot.

"Go away!" Yue Xi was furious, seeing that Hua Yun really came to fight him, the three-pronged Fang Tianji did not attack Tai Shici, but instead attacked Hua Yun.

Seeing this, Yu Yunwen on the top of the wall ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops. Fortunately, this Yuexi is insane. They have internal strife. Let General Ziyi come back, otherwise it will be dangerous for the two of them to encircle General Ziyi."

The soldiers hurriedly beat gongs and drums, and Tai Shici did not delay, and returned to Jiaodong County on horseback.Seeing this, Yue Xi and Hua Yun had no choice but to return to the formation.

Xu Chu had just returned from the battle, Zhao Kuangyin saw Xu Chu covered in blood and said anxiously: "Military doctor, send the military doctor quickly, has Zhongkang ever been ill?"

Xu Chu was touched, waved his hands and said: "The last general is just a few flesh wounds, but it's a pity that Wen Yang left. If it wasn't for the cold arrows of the Han army, I would have killed him!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked cold and said: "You are not allowed to risk your life on the battlefield. If you trade your life for Wenyang, who else will protect me in the future?"

Xu Chu was so moved that he vowed in his heart that he would slander Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin waved his hands and said, "Go down to recuperate first, and you don't care about the war these few days."

After Xu Chu left, Yuexi and Huayun Erjiang returned, Zhao Kuangyin's face was gloomy, and he shouted coldly: "You two are really good. Don't you think it's not enough to be ashamed if you fight each other on the battlefield and kill each other?"

"Hmph! If it wasn't for him, I would have killed Tai Shici long ago!" Yue Xi snorted coldly.

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Kuangyin sneered, pointing at Hua Yun and said: "General Hua Yun is a veteran who has made many military exploits. You are just a newcomer. Although you have skills, you are so arrogant before you have made merit. If you make meritorious service in the future, you will be so arrogant. Don't you even pay attention to me?"

"The last will not dare!"

Zhao Kuangyin reprimanded: "You two are comrades-in-arms, but you fight to the point of killing each other, and you will be punished with thirty army sticks. Even if the siege is underway, let's record it for now, and come after it after the war!"

"The last general begs to attack the city and make up for it!"

"The last general also asks to siege the city to make up for it!"

When the two generals Yuexi Huayun heard that Zhao Kuangyin planned to attack the city, they all surrendered and asked for a fight.

"Okay, you two prepare quickly, lead the brave fighters to the battle first! Whoever kills the tower first, I will spare his army stick!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand.

"The last general is going to prepare!" Yuexi Huayun cupped his hands and went to prepare for the siege, secretly competing with the siege in his heart.

On Jiaodong City, Wen Yang was helped up by the soldiers, and everyone rushed forward to inquire. Wen Yang turned pale and said with a wry smile: "Today I was taken back by Xu Chu. I'm afraid I won't be able to use my arm for three to five months."

Lin Renzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was really dangerous just now. If General Tang hadn't rescued him with an arrow, you might have just... just go down and recuperate!"

Wen Yang nodded to Tang Bin: "Thank you Brother Tang for saving my life, I will treat you to a drink after I recover from my injury."

"I'll wait, leave it to us, you can go back and recover from your injuries!" Tang Bin laughed.

After Wen Yang left, Tai Shici also returned to the top of the city and drank a bag of water to replenish the lost water. Everyone looked down from the top of the city and saw Zhao Jun soldiers rushing down the city carrying a ladder.A large number of stones were piled up by the trebuchet in the distance, and soldiers of the Zhao army were preparing to climb the city behind with shield machetes.

"The Zhao army is ready to attack the city. Set up the canvas, set up the archers, set up the rolling wood and beat the stones, and prepare to make golden juice! Protect the two generals!" Lin Renzhao looked at the city solemnly, and gave orders to defend the city one by one.

Soon Zhao Jun set up the ladder, and Zhao Jun behind him screamed forward with shields and machetes. Hua Yun led a team of soldiers to charge forward, boarded the ladder, and climbed up Jiaodong City.

Rows of archers in the rear bent their bows and set arrows, and Zhao Jun dropped stones at the trebuchet, each of which was the size of a basketball, forming beautiful parabolas in the sky and falling towards the head of Jiaodong City.

Fortunately, the Han army had been prepared for a long time, built an elevated bridge above the city wall, and arranged the canvas.The canvas is made of various animal skins and oiled paper, and it is very thick enough to block the bombing of the trebuchet.

Seeing the stones falling on the canvas, Zhao Kuangyin ordered: "Fire the canvas with rockets!"

A burst of rockets shot at the top of the city, and Lin Renzhao was not afraid of danger, and ordered: "Splash water to put out the fire!"

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, Lin Renzhao is well prepared, Zhao Jun wants to capture Jiaodong, it will not be achieved in a day, it will have to be filled with human lives.

The soldiers of the Zhao army climbed up the ladder, and the Han soldiers on the top of the city bent their bows and set up arrows one by one, and threw stones to hit them.If Zhao Jun climbed to the height of the ladder, Han Jun scooped up the boiling golden juice boiled in an iron pot and poured it down.The strong stench accompanied by the screams of Zhao soldiers filled the ears and noses of the Han soldiers.

Yuexi and Huayun each led a group of daredevils to climb up. The two charged forward, holding a shield in one hand and a gun in the other.Although he was the first to charge, he was also taken care of by Tai Shici and Tang Bin.Both of them are good at archery. They kept shooting and killing Zhao Jun with arrows, repelling Yuexi Huayun's offensive time and time again.

Lin Renzhao commanded back and forth on the city wall, cheering and encouraging the soldiers.

The sound of the ancient and thick drums stirred in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the deafening shouts of killing rippled between the heaven and the earth.

Hua Yun and Yuexi's attack were repulsed once, and the two returned to the army to rest. Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly: "Jiaodong has an army of [-], tens of thousands of young and strong, and countless weapons and food. There are strong generals and good generals. There is a mastermind, and it will be very difficult for our army to take Jiaodong!"

Yue Xi, Hua Yun was dissatisfied, she drooled and got up and said: "The last general is leading the soldiers to charge!"

The siege of the city requires a lot of luck, chasing and fighting, and constantly creating pressure on the defenders on the city. Once soldiers climb to the top of the city, the opportunity to break the city will come.Zhao Kuangyin understood this truth, so he would not give up because of the mere difficulties. Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Go, the first to kill the city leader will be rewarded with a hundred gold, promoted to three ranks, and a thousand acres of fertile land!"

The soldiers continued to attack the city with all their strength. Zhao Kuangyin commanded from a distance, and Cheng Yu on the side said solemnly: "My lord, this Jiaodong is not easy to attack. As the saying goes, encircle it three times and attack it ten times. I'm afraid our army wants to take Jiaodong." It's a lot of casualties."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Then what can you do?"

"From my point of view, our army can wipe out other places in Qingzhou first, arrange officials, and leave Jiaodong alone. When Yuan Shao arrives, our two armies with 20 troops will encircle Jiaodong!" Cheng Yu suggested.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about Yuan Shao, with this kind of long-term strategy, does our army have enough food and grass to support it? Liangshan in the interior of Yanzhou sent troops to plunder all over the place, and provided food and grass to supply Yuan Shao, and Yuzhou had to beware of Nanyang soldiers. Horses. Our army of [-] soldiers and horses is only supported by Xuzhou, and there is not enough food and grass to use this long-term plan.”

"What's more..." Zhao Kuangyin chuckled lightly, "Do you think Yuan Shao, a mediocre person, can defeat Chen Qingzhi?"

Cheng Yu put forward a different opinion: "Although Yuan Shao is mediocre, he was conspired by Cui Hao. I heard that he is already preparing to cross the river. It shouldn't be long before he joins our army, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin sneered and said: "No, our army wants to wait for Yuan Shao to come. I'm afraid it won't be three or five days. I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat Chen Qingzhi in one or two months. What's more, as time goes by, Bingzhou Youzhou will have more and more people. The more troops you can use, some time ago there were rumors in Jizhou, and I was worried that his backyard was on fire."

Zhao Jun's offensive lasted for two days. Within two days, Zhao Kuangyin divided the [-] troops into two groups, one part was responsible for the attack during the day and the other part was responsible for the night attack.Then the [-] soldiers were divided into several groups, and when one group got tired, the latter were replaced.

They went on and on, taking turns to attack the city without stopping for a moment, and the Jiaodong city was full of Zhao Jun's corpses.In just two days, the Zhao army killed and injured more than 1 people, but the Han army was also uncomfortable as the defender of the city. Although the Zhao army did not kill the city wall, the attacks in the past few days have also greatly disintegrated the will of the senses. .

This is a dangerous signal. If the Zhao army is still desperately attacking, it is very likely that the Han army will not be able to resist it.

By the fifth day, more than 2 Zhao Jun had been killed or injured.But it had a remarkable effect. From time to time, Zhao Jun killed the top of the city and started hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.Although it was killed and retreated by the Han army several times, it was a good start.

Like a flood breaking a dike, after Zhao Jun kills the top of the city, it will affect the soldiers' defense of the city. Yuexi Huayun launched another round of offensive. Huayun is extremely brave, and his bravery is even better than Yuexi This time, Hua Yun was the first to attack the top of the wall, Tang Bin defended Hua Yun, and the two fought on the top of the wall.

Hua Yun made a breakthrough, and Zhao Jun continued to attack the top of the city from behind, while Yuexi on the other side did not give in, jumped from the ladder to the city wall, and fought with Tai Shici.On both sides of the city, Zhao Jun entered.

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, the attack for several days was filled with human lives, a breakthrough was made at noon today, and the city was broken today!Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and ordered the whole army to attack.

More and more Zhao Jun climbed up the tower, started a hand-to-hand battle with the Han army, and integrated the south gate of the eastern suburbs. From a distance, Zhao Jun soldiers climbed up densely like code words.

At this moment, there was a sound of war horses galloping from the west, and Zhao Kuangyin sent out all the troops. There were only a few hundred relatives around him, and only a few soldiers and horses were stationed in the other three sects.Zhao Kuangyin wondered: "Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be that Yuan Shao's army has arrived?"

Yuan Shao looked around and saw his own food running fast from afar. Several soldiers rode on horseback and flew to report to Zhao Kuangyin: "My lord, retreat quickly. It is the reinforcements of the Han army. Luo Shixin is leading three thousand cavalry. My lord, hurry up and take shelter." sharp!"

"Why did the reinforcements from the Han army come back? Didn't Yuan Shao attack there? Could it be that the Han army was defeated?" Cheng Yu asked suspiciously.

"It's not a rout. Except for Luo Shixin's cavalry, there are still a large number of infantry behind. It seems that all the Han troops from the west have returned! My lord, let's hide first!"

At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin sent everyone out, and there were only a few hundred people around him.If Luo Shixin targeted him as soon as he came, where did he go?Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate, and immediately ordered to retreat.

Zhao Kuangyin stepped back and scolded: "It must be that Yuan Shao's backyard caught fire and already withdrew his troops. What a pig, he actually ruined my big business. He didn't remind me of the withdrawal, otherwise I would besiege the city and fight for help! Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you are not enough and you are plotting!" "

Zhao Kuangyin first retreated to avoid Luo Shixin's cavalry. At the same time, he also ordered Mingjin to retreat. Zhao Jun was puzzled when he heard the sound of Mingjin.

When Zhao Jun was hesitating, Luo Shixin led three thousand cavalry straight to the battlefield!
