Chapter 22 The Battle of Wuchao
Wuchao, in the city.

"Report! The general's military order is here!"

A messenger fell from the horse and handed over a military order.

Li Fuming, the general guard of Wuchao, took over the military order, opened it, and said, "Stick to Wuchao, don't attack rashly!"

Li Fuming ordered the left and right lieutenants, "Hang up the card of exemption from battle, and don't leave the city rashly."

Outside the city, in Huang Xiaoyuan's tent,
"The enemy will put up the exemption card, no matter how we call the formation, no one will respond."

Huang Xiaoyuan also frowned, "Li Fuming is a veteran of Luo Xin's subordinates. He has always been famous for being steady and good at defending the city. I am afraid that it will be difficult to motivate the general. Prepare the siege equipment and prepare for a strong attack."

The surrounding generals clasped their fists and said, "No!"

Of course, the ordinary soldiers didn't know all this. In the blink of an eye, the Youzhou army had been besieging Wuchao for ten days, but the gate of Wuchao was closed tightly. provocative.

Although the siege equipment was being built in an orderly manner, several attempts to siege the city ended in failure. Huang Xiaoyuan didn't seem to be in a hurry. He ordered the soldiers to build two new barriers outside the barracks on the south bank to resist the enemy. It looks like this is a long-term plan. Confronted with the army in Wuchao City.

So in Zuo Houde's view, this siege is really too leisurely, but he also understands that this is the calm before the storm, once the real war starts, it must be extremely fierce, so these days, Zuo Houde has always been The armor never leaves the body, the sword never leaves the hand, the same goes for sleeping every day, and is ready for battle at any time.

After a long period of marching and fighting, Zuo Houde's two attributes of strength and agility have increased again, and his luck has also improved a lot due to being an army commander.

On this day, there seemed to be new news from the barracks, saying that Luo City was destroyed, and Luo Xin killed himself on the city wall.The news did not know where it came from, and it spread throughout the entire military camp within a day.This relieved the oppressive feeling that the Youzhou army had not achieved an inch of success in the ten days of besieging the city, and there were joyous laughter everywhere.

Zuo Houde just felt a little strange, Luo City is also a huge city, and Luo Xin, the general who conquered the North, personally sits in the town, how could it be destroyed so quickly?Of course, Zuo Houde was just surprised, he himself was in this kind of atmosphere, and he was much more relaxed than usual.

"My lord personally commanded one hundred thousand Youzhou elites, and captured Luocheng within three days."

"In the battle of Luo City, more than [-] enemies were killed, and the enemy army was completely defeated. No wonder no reinforcements came to Wuchao these days."

On the arrow tower at the head of Wuchao City, Li Fuming also noticed the strange movement in the Youzhou military camp, and frowned.

"The Youzhou army seems to be happier today than in the past. Could it be that some news came from outside?"

As the chief general in Wuchao City, he has been instructing the city to pay attention to the movements of the Youzhou Army and observe the movement of the Youzhou Army: whether there are new enemy troops arriving, whether there are enemy troops leaving quietly, those seemingly ordinary dispatches, even He had to record the number of enemy campfires while cooking.And you can't miss the strategy, because in wars these days, you always like to use the strategy of reducing or increasing the number of stoves to mislead the enemy.

In addition, you have to write down the layout of the enemy camp: where is the weakest defense of the two barriers, where is the commander's camp, where are the peasants living, and where are the horses and chariots concentrated?
But the sun was rising, and at noon, the Youzhou army suddenly shot a rain of arrows, all of which were carrying letters.

"Luo City is lost! Luo Xin is dead! King Yan's army has arrived! Still surrender?"

When Li Fuming received the news, the news had already spread in the city.

Some people didn't believe it: "Impossible, the general personally led a hundred thousand troops to sit in Luocheng, how could it be possible to lose the army?"

Some soldiers believed it: "That's the King of Yan!"

Of course, more people are dubious, and Li Fuming is even among them, thinking of Luo Xin's military orders and the changes outside the city today.I can't help but have some letters.

But he was still single-handedly determined to know that this news should not spread in the city, but he understood that blocking it would be better than slacking off. He could not order the confiscation of the letters on the arrows outside the city, and summon the left and right guards to spread some news.

"King Yan died in Luo City!"

"Youzhou Army defeated Luo City!"

While rumors and rumors were spreading everywhere in the city, Huang Xiaoyuan, a member of the Youzhou Army outside the city, was swearing in an oath.

"Great victory in Los Angeles! The prince has broken the city!"

"It's time for a man to make meritorious service!"

"I have ordered the remaining food and grass to be burned, but there is no shortage in these cities!"

"Beat the drums to help out and attack the city!"

Zuo Houde also heard Huang Xiaoyuan's words. At this moment, he realized in his heart that the news about Luo City is probably hypothetical, otherwise why bother to burn food and leave no return.

Of course, most of the surrounding soldiers don’t know it. They only know that King Yan broke Luo City and Luo Xin killed himself. This time, the Youzhou Army is sure to win. There is no return, break the city to grab credit.

The horn sounded, and the Youzhou army began to attack the city.

This is a desperate battle, and there is no reserve team.The whole army is dispatched to carry offensive equipment. In order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, all the troops that can be mobilized will be invested, and they cannot be stored in the reserve team.

Now it is necessary to pursue the ultimate attack intensity, just like a mountain torrent erupting, drowning the enemy in one fell swoop.

Black and black battle flags fluttered in the wind, and the shining spears and swords were eye-catching. Teams of black armored soldiers lined up neatly, and rows of chariot cavalry guarded their left and right sides. Under the command of the strong and deep drums, , They stepped on the same pace, pushing the siege equipment that they had made, and walked firmly towards Wuchao.

"Youzhou Army is here!"

The sharp shouts resounded from the top of the city, and everyone's face froze. At this time, the soldiers in the city ignored the gossip and went up to the top of the city to defend against the enemy.

Zuo Houde put on armor, held a shield, and held a spear in his hand. He took the lead and led his soldiers forward in formation.The rain of arrows shot from the city covered the shield and failed to hurt him at all.

The soldiers on the city wall desperately shot arrows at the Youzhou army formation, but they couldn't stop these excited Youzhou soldiers.Li Fuming on the wall yelled from time to time but seemed powerless, and many soldiers on the city had obviously lost their morale.

Finally, Zuo Houde approached the city wall, threw away the spear in his hand, and climbed up the ladder with a shield in one hand. From time to time, arrows were shot at him. Zuo Houde took the shield to block, and of course some arrows were also shot. Houde gritted his teeth and quickly climbed the ladder, and when he reached the top of the wall, four or five enemy soldiers rushed towards Houde left.

Zuo Houde hit with the shield and knocked it over. He grabbed a long dagger with his probing hand and strode forward. The long dagger cut off a person's head, and the head fell off the city wall. Shouted: "First climber! Zuo Houde of Youzhou!"

A defender behind him picked up a spear and was about to stab him, Zuo Houde turned sideways, swung his long spear, and slapped him off the city wall.Zuo Houde strode forward, and the big shield slammed forward, overturning five or six defenders, like oxen plowing the field, pushed and pushed, the defenders fell to the city wall one after another, Zuo Houde rushed to the defender's flag Before the attack, the surrounding defenders did not dare to stop them, they slashed with Chang Ge, and the battle flags fluttered down in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

Zuo Houde shouted: "If you don't surrender now, when will you wait!"

Huang Xiaoyuan, who was at the bottom of the city, saw Zuo Houde on the city wall, killing the enemy and beheading the flag. He was full of blood and courage: "Sure enough, a strong man!"
