Yuan Xi was about the first time to really face the enemy, and he was young and vigorous, and he also made the same mistakes as Wei Yan at the beginning, using all his strength and not sparing any hands in every move. Maybe he thought that Liu Yu was really suppressed by him and had no power to fight back, he actually rose up and performed a great move that consumed extremely internal strength, and the spear full of internal force conjured up more than 100 gun shadows and took Liu Yu as his chest.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and also greeted him with similar moves, and after the sound of dozens of strikes, Yuan Xi was powerless, and his marksmanship became scattered. At this time, if Liu Yu wanted to take his life, it would be easy. It's just that Liu Yu sees that he is young, and he has no notoriety in history, so he can't bear to be a killer for a while.

Liu Yu changed the stab to stir, wrapped the moon blade on the Zhantian halberd around the tip of Yuan Xi's spear, and then swirled it vigorously. Yuan Xi's strength was exhausted, and he was immediately wrenched off the silver gun in his hand by Liu Yu's move. Yuan Xi, who took off the silver gun, seemed to be a little panicked, and he didn't know how to save himself, Liu Yu naturally grabbed him unceremoniously as a chest, lifted it high, and then threw it heavily to the ground, and the halberd of Zhan Tian fell like lightning, and went straight to Yuan Xi.

Chun Yuqiong came up with a gun, but it was too late to save people, so she could only shout in despair: "Don't." ”

The tip of the halberd entered Yuan Xi's throat, and suddenly stopped, and Liu Yu shook off a sentence lightly: "Young man, you must learn to do what you can before doing things, and cherish your life!" "After saying that, he will not turn his head and ride his horse, and return to the camp victoriously.

Chun Yuqiong, who had already run to the front, hurriedly pulled Yuan Xi to his horse, first said "thank you" sincerely to Liu Yu's back, and then took the frightened Yuan Xi back to his own military formation.

Just when Liu Yu thought that Chun Yuqiong would be grateful for his tolerance and temporarily withdrew from the army. But I heard his vigorous voice coming from behind him: "The wild goose wings are surrounded and start attacking." ”

Liu Yu was stunned and turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the wolf cavalry began to attack Liu Yu's army according to the formation. Liu Yu was furious. While secretly scolding himself for being an idiot, he ordered the heavy cavalry to charge into battle: Hmph, although your wolf cavalry is far larger than our army in numbers, but in the face of the heavy cavalry that even the people and horses are surrounded by refined fish scale armor, the wolf cavalry's "running and shooting" advantage can't be brought into play at all, I'm afraid of you birds!

When the heavy cavalry ran within range of the wolf cavalry, the wolf cavalry did not shoot arrows. Instead, he took off the large package on horseback and threw it vigorously in the direction of Liu Yujun.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yu couldn't help but be startled in his heart. Could it be a dynamite bag?!

When a large package thrown by the wolf cavalry falls to the ground. Liu Yu's heart also flicked, but fortunately, the big package did not explode as Liu Yu expected. Just when Liu Yu was puzzled. After throwing the large package, the wolf cavalry turned his horse back. Let the person behind keep throwing.

Liu Yu stared at the packages, and happened to see one scattered, which contained dirt and stones. Liu Yu was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that he dared to love Chun Yuqiong and wanted to use this to break the charge of the heavy cavalry! I have to say that his move really hit the weakness of the heavy cavalry.

You must know that the requirements for horses and men of this heavy cavalry are very high. A person must be a strong man, otherwise there is no way to wield a ninety-eight-pound cavalry heavy spear after wearing a fish scale armor weighing more than 160 catties. And the horse must also be a strong horse with a very high load, but although there are three or four hundred thousand high-quality war horses in the large ranches under Liu Yu. But there are less than 20,000 horses that can carry 700 pounds of heavy loads and still run as usual. Except, of course, for the requirement of "force". There is also a requirement for "technology".

In order to better protect the horses, the vests they use are even protected from their eyes, which is a great test of the knights' driving skills and the tacit understanding between the men and horses! However, no matter how good the control technique and tacit understanding are, the heavy cavalry can't run as usual on this battlefield full of obstacles! Because of the dense formation of heavy cavalry, a horse falling down often affects a large area of comrades around.

However, as far as Liu Yu could see, no less than a thousand heavy cavalry fell on the battlefield because of the obstacles under his feet. Fortunately, our army's men and horses are well protected, so the cold arrows fired by the wolf cavalry did not cause too many casualties. But if it is not dealt with in time, Liu Yu is afraid that at that time, just "trampling on each other" will destroy his carefully assembled ironclad heavy cavalry!

Just as Liu Yu wanted to make the heavy cavalry retreat, there was a commotion behind him. Liu Yu looked back, but it was Liu Yujun's rangers, and it seemed that Guo Jia saw Liu Yu's defeat and sent reinforcements.

The rangers in Liu Yu's army, like the wolf cavalry, were all lightly armed archer cavalry trained by the raiders imitating the Huns, and their individual and overall combat effectiveness were definitely not below the latter. The reason why Liu Yu didn't let them fight with the wolf cavalry before was just because he didn't want to "kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred"! But now, this card has to be played!

Ji Ling brandished a three-pointed two-edged knife and led more than 40,000 rangers, carrying a murderous aura that could make the warm sun in the sky lose its heat, and swarmed out from the camp gate. In this chaotic battlefield, Ji Ling couldn't get out any formation, so he could only order the rangers to use a hundred horsemen as the basic unit to kill the enemy army.

"Zhong Kang," Liu Yu yelled at Xu Chu, who was chasing and killing the wolf cavalry, "you immediately organize the heavy cavalry to return to the camp, and let Ji Ling and the rangers deal with those wolf cubs!" When Xu Chu reluctantly accepted the order, Liu Yu waved the Zhantian halberd and rushed towards Chun Yuqiong and the others who had retreated behind the enemy.

Liu Yu used the Zhantian Halberd to cut the lives of the enemy soldiers, and laughed loudly at Lu Bu who was far away: "Lu Bu, what's the matter, are you going to escape again?" Do you want to leave behind these ordinary soldiers who are fighting bravely for you? ”

Liu Yu's words full of spiritual magic made some of the wolf cavalry who were not determined turn their heads to look at Lu Bu who was retreating, and Lu Bu, who was riding on the red rabbit horse, also roared excitedly, just when he was about to break free from Chun Yuqiong's pull, Yuan Xi, who seemed to be a little lost next to him, helped Chun Yuqiong to drag him together.

Under Liu Yu's super ears and eyes, Liu Yu clearly saw the palpitating look on Yuan Xi's face. After glancing at Liu Yu with fearful eyes, he said to Lu Bu, "General Lu." Liu Yu was born from a demon, and no human power could resist, and the general's injuries had not recovered. Don't act impulsively! ”

Lu Bu didn't know what to think after listening to Yuan Xi's words, so he was quiet, and after glancing at Liu Yu coldly, he silently stopped at Ma Yuchun Yuqiong's side.

Liu Yu frowned slightly, because Lu Bu, who had always been arrogant and irritable in front of him, was no longer excited, which was not a good thing! Although there were many thoughts in his heart, the Zhan Tian Halberd in Liu Yu's hand and the black horse under his crotch did not slow down at all. Still harvesting human lives at a very fast speed, he went deep into the enemy formation and approached Chun Yuqiong.

Chun Yuqiong in the distance shook his head slightly, and he didn't know what he was sighing about, he looked at Liu Yu. Then the spear in his hand pointed to the sky and ordered: "The whole army retreats." ”

Yuan Xi on the side asked with some consternation: "Metropolitan Governor, our army has the upper hand now, why don't you take advantage of the victory to advance." Instead, you want to retreat? ”

This time, it was Lu Bu who was in a depressed mood who answered for him: "The second son doesn't know anything. In this case, although our wolf cavalry had a slight upper hand against Liu Guo's heavy cavalry, now Liu Guobao has sent his rangers, which are elite troops with similar combat effectiveness to the wolf cavalry. In my opinion, his number should be about 40,000, and the number of our army is not superior, and besides, there are still a large number of fresh troops in his battalion, and if he doesn't leave now, it will be even more difficult to get out later! ”

Chun Yuqiong stroked her long gray beard with a smile, nodded and said, "What General Lu said is very true. The main purpose of this dispatch was to boost morale. Let our soldiers understand that the army of Liu Guojiao is not invincible. Now that this has been achieved, it is time to accept it. Otherwise, it's all in vain! ”

Yuan Xi nodded understandingly, didn't say anything more, and followed Chun Yuqiong and Lu Bu to gallop towards Yecheng under the protection of the personal guard cavalry.

Seeing all this, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel anxious, if he let them run away like this, then he wouldn't be able to save face at all! If Wei Yan and Wen Ping's group of young people who worship him know about it in the future, then they must not be doubled!

Liu Yu accelerated and galloped in the direction of Chun Yuqiong, and even in order to increase his speed a little, Liu Yu also gave up the enemy soldiers around him who were easy to kill. But his kindness was not understood, although Liu Yu did not kill the wolf cavalry around him, but those loyal and profit-hungry guys took the initiative to wave their knives at Liu Yu. As a last resort, Liu Yu had no choice but to deal with them first. After more than 50 similar encounters, Liu Yu finally reluctantly gave up the action of chasing and killing Chun Yuqiong and others, and vented his anger on these wolf cavalrymen who were in the way.

Gradually, the wolf cavalry also learned to behave. They no longer attacked Liu Yu in close quarters, but only blindly shot arrows at Liu Yu from a distance. Although he chased and killed some wolf cavalry with the strength of the black horse's feet, Liu Yu still felt depressed. Just when Liu Yu was bored and started to kill, there was a sound of golden sound in the distance. Liu Yu paused slightly, and then heard Xu Chu's roar: "Xiangye, Guo Junshi, please return to the camp." Liu Yu glanced at Yecheng, who was closing the city gate not far away, and the wolf cavalry who were scattering and fleeing, sighed softly, and appointed the horse to return to the camp.

After returning to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Liu Yu smiled bitterly at Guo Jia and the others and asked, "Have our losses been counted?" ”

Zhong Xuan, the chief bookkeeper of the march, replied loudly: "Back to Xiangye, after our statistics, the heavy cavalry of our army only died 362 people in this battle, but the wounded were as high as about 2,400 people, but most of them were skin injuries, and the military doctor said that as long as you recuperate for a few days, you can go to the battlefield again!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the reduction of 400 people was still within his bearing. Liu Yu waved his hand with a slightly wide expression to signal Zhong Yu to continue, but he frowned slightly and said, "The losses of our rangers are relatively large. In less than an hour's engagement, more than 3,200 of our 40,000 rangers were killed, more than 5,700 were seriously wounded and unable to fight for three months, and nearly 20,000 were lightly wounded. ”

Liu Yu sighed a little bitterly, and silently mourned in his heart for a while before asking, "How about the loss of the wolf cavalry?" It's supposed to be worse than us, right? ”

Zhong Xuan nodded slightly and said: "Yes, our army killed more than 5,500 enemies, captured nearly 3,800 enemy troops, and collected nearly 8,900 horses from both sides after the war, of which about 6,200 can be used directly. ”

Liu Yu exhaled a sullen breath in his chest, stopped Guo Jia's words, and ordered with an irreversible expression: "Order all the troops to rest and recuperate." Attack Yecheng tomorrow! ”

###########################################################

The plan could not catch up with the changes, and Liu Yu, who had planned to launch an attack early in the morning, had to suspend his actions due to the "thunderbolt" and "Jing Yan". Because the two siege engines carried by the army were too big, heavy, and too many, it was impossible to assemble them all in one night.

When all the siege equipment was assembled by the engineers after dinner. Liu Yu did not give the order to attack immediately, because Liu Yu's previous experience of leading troops told him that the alertness of soldiers was lowest at three or four o'clock in the morning, so Liu Yu decided to wait until that time to launch an attack.

Tonight is also considered to be a beautiful day, although the moon is high, but due to the dark clouds, there is no brightness, which is more favorable to the attacking side. Quietly marched to a distance of more than a mile from Yecheng and lined up. Then the artillerymen operating the "Thunderbolt" were ordered to adjust the range and concentrate the point of attack on the brightly lit city walls.

It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want 1,300 "thunderbolts" to directly collapse the walls of Yecheng, it's just that there are no mountains near Yecheng. There are so many stones that you can't find enough weight, so you can only set the target of the attack to be the soldiers defending the city!

Under Liu Yu's order, with the deafening roar of 1,300 "thunderbolt cars", the stone rain in the sky fell to the head of Yecheng. In the panic of the enemy. Liu Yu ordered the scarecrow to attack again. This scarecrow was pierced by Liu Yu in the daytime when the idle soldiers had nothing to do. Of course. This is definitely not to let the soldiers pass the boring time, but Liu Yu remembered Zhuge Liang's "straw boat borrowing arrows" in history. You must know that the demand for bows and arrows on the defending side is very large, and if you consume a little more, Liu Yufang's soldiers will be less threatened!

As the 10,000 heavy infantry led by Xu Chu each with two scarecrows approached the city, the enemy troops on the city wall were even more panicked, and the crossbowmen fired indiscriminately at the black and oppressive figure under the protection of the shield soldiers, and the 10,000 heavy infantry with elementary drama training also let out a miserable wail and shout of killing in the rain of arrows. After about 20 minutes, Liu Yu saw that Xu Chu had a tendency to retreat. Knowing that the arrows on the scarecrow were probably about the same, he waved his hand and asked Ji Ling to bring another 10,000 heavy infantry carrying scarecrows to replace them.

After such a round. Liu Yu has collected more than 300,000 arrows, but the rain of arrows shot by the defenders of Yecheng is still rare, which makes Liu Yu have to sigh at Yuan Shao's wealth! At this time, Chun Yuqiong's angry voice came from the city wall: "The enemy army has not run to the foot of the city wall for so long, it is clearly a feint, all the soldiers must not fire more arrows, shoot a round of rockets to test it first!" ”

Liu Yu sighed, knowing that this "harming others and benefiting oneself" thing was done, so Mingjin asked Xu Chu to return to the army. After taking a long breath, Liu Yu gave the official order to attack Yecheng.

A thousand wells slowly moved towards Yecheng. Liu Yujun's specially made shaft was fourteen or five meters high, and at the top there was a platform for twenty people to stand on, and now standing on it were five crossbowmen, five heavily armored shield warriors, and six sword and shield infantry. Crossbowmen are used to suppress Yecheng archers, heavily armored shield soldiers are used to protect crossbowmen, and sword and shield infantry need to ascend Yecheng through a special ladder on the well, after all, Yecheng is five or six meters higher than the well. Groups of infantry followed closely behind the well with neat steps, ready to replenish the consumption of soldiers at the top of the well at any time.

Gradually, Liu Yu's siege army approached Yecheng. The enemy troops on the city wall were dumbfounded, believing that they must have been terrified in the face of such a behemoth without strict military training! In order not to injure his own soldiers by mistake, Liu Yuye had ordered the "Thunderbolt" to stop the attack, and now there was only a hand-to-hand encounter with the front-line soldiers.

Beat the drums and shout to kill. The attackers and defenders fired indiscriminately, with the attackers covered by huge shields and the defenders relying on the women's wall for protection. Although the giant shield is solid, there are still many empty doors between the giant shields, and the protection of the female wall is naturally much better. Moreover, for the archers, the sight of the soldiers in the city is not affected, and they are more condescending, and the arrows are more fierce, while the archers in the city, although they have the shield cover of their comrades, also affect the line of sight, and the effect is far less than that of the archers in the city.

However, fortunately, Yecheng has never experienced war since its expansion, and Jizhou, which was almost surrounded by Liu Yu's forces, was also subject to Liu Yu's economic control, so Yecheng was equipped with very few necessary equipment such as trebuchets and fire oil to protect the city. But nevertheless. Liu Yujun's soldiers kept falling, but it was just a cup of tea, as far as Liu Yu could see. There were no less than 300 Liu Yujun soldiers who fell from the top of the ladder to the ground at the foot of Yecheng.

Liu Yu frowned slightly, and shouted: "Ji Ling led the wood team to attack!" ”

Ji Ling shouted the order, dismounted and waved his hand, and two hundred hoplites pushing a huge piece of wood immediately came out of the military formation. Under the cover of a thousand heavily armored shield soldiers, Ji Ling led the group of soldiers slowly towards Yecheng.

Although the appearance of the Wood Fighting Team surprised the defenders of Yecheng, the frantic attack of the Jingqian troops left them with no extra energy to pay attention to the actions of Ji Ling and the others. With the hoarse shouts of the commander of the Jingqian troops, Liu Yujun's soldiers followed forward and climbed down the high ladder towards Yecheng as if they were at home.

Just when the Yecheng archers desperately sent out arrows to block the attack of the sword and shield infantry on Liu Yu's side. The wood-beating team finally arrived at the gate of Yecheng. With the sound of the trumpet of "one, two, three", the huge crashing wood violently hit the gate of Yecheng and shook the wall of Yecheng. The soldiers at the head of Yecheng City did not dare to slack off when they saw this situation. Rolling wood and masonry rained down.

The earth-shattering sound of killing made the earth tremble, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting for different purposes, and even the moon in the sky couldn't bear to look at such a scene. The stars dimmed. Dark clouds filled the sky.

Liu Yu saw that it was almost over, so he said to Xu Chu, who was already eager to try: "It's your turn, don't let me down!" ”

"Don't worry," Xu Chu replied excitedly: "You just look at me!" After speaking, he took a thousand soldiers carefully selected by him from the Beiwei army, carried hooks and ropes, and quietly touched a dead corner in Yecheng that was not easy to be discovered.

From a distance, Liu Yu saw Xu Chu, the strange man who had cultivated the "Nine Oxen and Two Tiger Divine Power Skills", still brought more than 30 hooks and cables to the city wall more than 20 meters high in turn, and then led his team members to climb up silently like apes.

Just when Xu Chu was only four or five meters away from the city. A head looking down suddenly appeared from the city wall, and after the two sides looked at each other for a moment, the enemy soldier let out an exclamation: "Enemy attack!" Twenty or thirty heads sprang up on the city wall one after another. Xu Chu turned over and got the city wall, and the purple gold fish scale knife broke more than ten heads in a few swings, and the rest of them saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled, shouting and warning all over the place.

Liu Yu sighed, knowing that his plan to climb into the city and carry out a sneak attack without alerting the enemy had been ruined. This Chun Yuqiong is worthy of being a battle-hardened general, although Yecheng has not been attacked after the expansion, but he can also lay such a careful protection by imagination, even this kind of dead corner and sentry cloth, it can be regarded as a last resort! It's a pity that most of the soldiers in the city at this time are new recruits, their minds are not strong, their combat strength is insufficient, and they can still raise some courage to resist in the face of the enemy outside the city, but once they are attacked by the city, they are afraid that their morale will be immediately demoralized!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the special attack team stepped up their climbing speed, and by the time the mobile troops in the center of the enemy arrived, nearly half of them had already come up, and these four or five hundred people under the leadership of Xu Chu gave Chun Yuqiong a head-on attack. When all the 1,000 special attack fighters reached the top of the city, with their strong personal strength and tacit formation, a section of the city wall more than 300 meters long was firmly in their hands. Following the hook rope, a steady stream of soldiers climbed Yecheng, and the city wall occupied by Liu Yujun gradually grew. In order to speed up the city, more than a dozen wells also slowly moved towards the area controlled by Liu Yujun.

Perhaps noticing the danger of this remote place, Chun Yuqiong once again let out a deafening voice: "All the soldiers must try their best to kill the enemy, once the enemy breaks through the city gate, with the brutality of Liu Guo's thief, there is only a dead end waiting for you!" Now there are only two or three thousand people in the city, will our 60,000 Jizhou heroes be intimidated by them? Brothers, go kill them! ”

The defenders who had just been inspired by Chun Yuqiong had some morale were shaken by Xu Chu's roar: "The old man is a bullshit, our Xiangye has already said that this battle will only remove the first evil, and the rest will not be investigated!" As long as you put down your weapon and sit on the spot, you can live, and if you don't want to die, you can do it! ”

Chun Yuqiong saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly transferred troops to stop Xu Chu. But what kind of person is Xu Chu, he is a super fierce general with no opponents in history, not to mention that he has been carefully cultivated by Liu Yu in this world! In a word, there is no one under the knife!

"We must not let Liu Guo's army occupy the city!" Chun Yuqiong roared angrily. He pulled out the long sword at his waist violently, and led the elite soldiers around him to run towards the section of the city wall where Xu Chu was located. (To be continued.) )
