Liu Zheng's headquarters of 10,000 soldiers and horses, combined with Guo Shi's 20,000 horses, a total of 30,000 people, the speed of the march was a little behind Gan Ning's people.

So when he arrived in Shaoyang, he was one day later than Gan Ning's advance troops.

When Liu Zheng's army arrived in Shaoyang, Shaoyang's soldiers and horses once exceeded 40,000 horses.

Sun Jian, who was on the city tower, saw the dense soldiers and horses under the city, and all gathered behind a city gate, Sun Jian's face faintly appeared a bad feeling.

But Sun Jian is still looking forward to it, looking forward to Han Xian's people coming to Cai Mao for help, as long as Cai Mao's army of 30,000 can rush to this Shaoyang City in time, with the help of Cai Mao's strength, Sun Jian is not without the strength of a battle.

Even, with the same number of soldiers and horses, relying on Shaoyang City, Sun Jian was still somewhat sure that he could directly defeat the combined forces of Liu Zheng and Guo Shi.

As long as Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's men and horses are cleared, not only can they capture the two counties of Wuling County and Lingling County in one fell swoop, but they may also be able to directly enter Jiaozhou and snatch the territory of Jiaozhou.

Liu Zheng's men and horses appeared outside Shaoyang City, and Sun Jian, who had already met Liu Zheng, recognized Liu Zheng from the crowd at a glance.

After all, compared with a year ago, Liu Zheng's appearance has not changed much, at most, the clothes on his body have changed a little.

A year ago, Liu Zheng was wearing the uniform cloth of the Yellow Turban Army, not even a decent armor, and wearing a somewhat tattered yellow turban, which was the standard configuration of the Yellow Turban Army, although Liu Zheng at that time was already a figure at the level of Xiaoqu Shuai.

But there are still no decent clothes, and now Liu Zheng is different, as the strongest ruler of Jiaozhou, wearing gray armor and a red cloak tied at the back, fluttering in the wind, in the crowd, very dazzling.

And Sun Jian was originally searching for Liu Zheng's location in the crowd, so he could naturally see where Liu Zheng was at a glance.

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng, all his speculations were confirmed, and Sun Jian's face was even more ugly.

It is normal to understand that he was defeated by Gan Ning.

After all, after being defeated by Ganning's army, Sun Jian almost doubted whether he was too underestimated by the enemy, and the soldiers and horses under Guo Shi's command did not show such a strong combat power at all, but the sudden change made some of Sun Jian's subordinates not react.

If he knew that it was Liu Zheng's people, Sun Jian found a reason for himself, only if it was Liu Zheng's people, he should have lost, so that it was in line with his positioning of himself.

"Brother Sun Jian, I haven't seen you for a year, don't come to harm, I heard that you have recently been promoted and become the Changsha Taishou?"

When Sun Jian saw Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng naturally saw Sun Jian at this time.

He stood on the tower of Shaoyang City, the vacancy of the battlements, just presented Sun Jian's upper body, plus Shaoyang City is not a big city, the city tower is not high, at most it is more than a zhang high, and there is no need for such a thing as a ladder to attack the city.

Directly cushion some stones and wood, and those who are agile can directly relay over the city wall.

"Liu Zheng, sure enough, it was you, I didn't expect that I didn't kill you in Runan back then, and now I will leave behind trouble, I heard that the people who are making trouble in Jiaozhou are complaining, the court will not let you go, you traitors, just wait for death."

For Liu Zheng, Sun Jian has nothing good to say, he also knows that Liu Zheng is such a vicious and vicious person, it is useless to persuade him to surrender, if he can persuade him to surrender, the court will not let him go, so saying a few more words is in vain, but it is better to say a few cruel words, but it can show a little bit of fierceness.

"Hahaha, Sun Wentai, Sun Wentai (Sun Jianbiao), you didn't kill me in Runan back then, do you think you can beat me now, don't say that there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Shaoyang City, even if you give you another 20,000 people, do you have the courage to go out of the city to fight with me?"

Today's Liu Zheng is no longer the Yellow Turban Xiaoqu Shuai in Runan City, who only has thousands of people, he is now a prince, with many generals, elite soldiers and horses, and brave generals, so there is no need to be afraid of Sun Jian.

Even if Sun Jian is famous, Liu Zheng is also not afraid.

"Hmph, if I have 30,000 soldiers and horses, do you dare to come and attack the city?"

"Hahaha, if I tell you, even if you have 100,000 horses, I will attack you in the same way, will you believe it? You shouldn't believe it, okay, don't delay the time, are you ready to bear my wrath, just let the battle of Runan a year ago be over. ”

After Liu Zheng and Sun Jian briefly greeted each other, they stopped saying to Sun Jian that he wanted to defeat Sun Jian as soon as possible, if it was delayed for a long time, Cai Mao's people would not come, but I was afraid that Sun Jian would also be suspicious.

Defeat Sun Jian as soon as possible, and Liu Zheng will be able to slowly maneuver.

"Xu Huang, Gan Ning, the two of you each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city from the city gate, Guo Shi is in charge, you lead your 20,000 people, from the city wall, use the ladder to rush up to the city tower! Listen to me, charge! ”

Liu Zheng stopped the conversation with Sun Jian, so he seized the time and directly ordered to charge and attack the city.

Although it is said that the siege of the city will greatly increase the losses of his own army, in order to destroy Sun Jian as soon as possible and capture Shaoyang City, Liu Zheng's losses can still be bearable.

Xu Huang and Gan Ning immediately took the order directly, each led his own battalion of soldiers and horses, and began to prepare for the siege.

Although Guo Shi was a little afraid, he saw that Liu Zheng's 20,000-strong army was mainly attacking the city gate, and his people were only responsible for harassing the city wall, Guo Shi still agreed, so he let his confidant Xing Daorong lead 10,000 horses and began to attack the city wall from the side.

The 30,000-strong army assembled at the fastest speed at this time, and then launched an attack on the gate and city wall of Shaoyang City.

The sound of the horn sounded at this time, the war drums roared, the Shaoyang City Tower, Sun Jian's army also immediately became nervous, with the attack of Liu Zhengjun, nearly 10,000 soldiers, also immediately busy, the city defense equipment that had been prepared for a long time was carried up.

On the tower of the city, the two major generals Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were not afraid of danger, and under the dispatch of Sun Jian, they immediately organized manpower to carry out a strict defense.

As long as there are enough defensive equipment, it is not so easy for Liu Zheng's army under the city to hit the city tower and break through the city gate.

"Kill!"

With a fierce shout of killing, from outside the city, 30,000 horses, like a tide, frantically poured into Shaoyang City.

First, a burst of arrows flew out, and thousands of arrows flew up the city tower densely, opening the prelude to this great battle.

"Here, all the soldiers, stop the attack of these traitors for me!"
