Chapter 840: Siege
Li Tong is also a resolute person, so he naturally understands what it means to break the cauldron and sink the boat, although their current situation does not need to be like this at all, but to release such a feeling to the soldiers, there will be a big difference in momentum.
"Okay, the herald ordered his subordinates to bury the pot and make rice, prepare dry food for three days, and pull out the camp after lunch, and prepare for the big battle!" Li Tong immediately ordered.
After Zhang Fei arrived at the place where he was about to fight dozens of miles south of Xiapi, he began to arrange the military formation according to Chen Deng's command, although Chen Deng was also a half bucket of water for the formation, but Li Yan's level was not very high.
Soon a Xuanxiang array based on the sharp arrow array came out, of course, this kind of military formation is frustrated, Li You's kind of person who really understands the military array seems to be absolutely flawed, it is estimated that one-third of the same Su zhì troops are enough to beat Chen Deng's head to the mouse, no way, the military array is such a difficult thing, the level is not enough, it is best not to play, otherwise it can only be a tragedy.
When Li Yan led 8,000 troops to come, he looked at the soldiers and horses on the opposite side with a proper arrangement, and he also had some not very good thoughts in his heart, although it was also the Xuanxiang Array, but Chen Deng's this he had never seen at all.
"It is indeed well arranged, people say that Chen Yuanlong is a famous minister in the world, I had some doubts before, but I can see it today, but it is also worthy of the name." Li Yan rode on the horse, his expression was slightly dignified.
"General, this military formation seems to be a sharp arrow formation, but it is chaotic, and there is quite confusion between the mess, I don't know how to start, and it is difficult to deduce the results of sending troops from all directions." Liang Xi looked at the military formation opposite, and after analyzing it for a while, he only felt dizzy. I can't see the inside story.
"It's hard to break this formation, but our army just wants to hold back the other side. As long as you protect yourself, you can become a tiger when the time comes. Naturally, there is a chance for our army to turn the tables. Li Yan looked at Chen Deng's military formation on the opposite side and was not too sure, of course, he could still see some inside information, otherwise he would not be so careless.
"Yuanlong, do you think Li Yan on the other side can break your big array?" Zhang Fei was also a little uneasy, he had fought with Li Yan before, and it was obvious that Li Yan was very familiar with the military formation.
"I'm not 100% sure if it can be broken, but I know that his goal is to hold us back, and besides, please rest assured, the general, this Xuanxiang Array was taught to me by my father. It has not been revealed before men, but it is a new formation. Chen Deng said that he was not sure in the front, but in the back words, it was obvious that he was extremely confident.
"That's good, the rest depends on Xiaozhi and Xingba." Zhang Fei replied in a deep voice, although there is an element of gambling in this, but at this time, he must be doing his own thing!
"Li Yan, the day before yesterday, you invited me to fight. Today I set up a big array, you dare to break it! Zhang Fei slapped his horse out of the battle, holding a snake spear and pointing at Li Yan and roaring, and his voice spread throughout the four fields. Suddenly, Zhang Fei's soldiers all yelled.
"Just the Xuanxiang Array, what am I afraid of, see how I broke your big array!" Li Yan laughed. chose a flaw he had seen before and rushed in directly, and the two armies were immediately mixed together. began to fight.
In the other place, after Zhang Fei left, Li Tong immediately led his troops to surround Xiapicheng. All kinds of siege weapons began to attack Xiapi City, and Zhang Fei's soldiers, who also went to Xiapi City, had already sealed the city gate hole with a boulder after Zhang Fei left, and they were not worried about the other party attacking the city gate at all.
In this case, Liu Beijun, who was not led by Zhang Fei but had been prepared, and Yuzhou Army, which was led by generals but did not know the facts, began a tragic offensive and defensive battle!
After the end of the three waves of tentative siege regardless of casualties, a large part of the moat that had been filled in again because of the continuous siege of the city for a period of time before, and the Yuzhou army immediately began to really attack the city.
"Pour!" A veteran commander and the new soldier poured the boiling gold juice directly from the city wall, and the soldier who had been rushing up the ladder suddenly rolled down with a scream.
Then without waiting for someone to rush to the mountain on the ladder, the veterans took the long fork of the ladder and directly pushed the ladder out, and a large number of Yuzhou soldiers were directly killed because the ladder overturned.
"It looks like the other side is on guard." Lai Min said to Li Tong.
"This is normal, Chen Deng is a cautious person after all." Li Tong nodded and said, if he is really completely defenseless, Li Tong still has to be suspicious.
"I'm leading the troops, and we don't have much time." Huo Jun didn't say a word, picked up a short knife, then picked up a big shield, picked up a big knife, and led the guards to rush forward directly.
Originally, this kind of siege method of leading the generals to take the lead should have started in the later stage of the siege, after the siege party was weak, but today's time is pressing, just after the trial was completed, Huo Jun led his personal guards to rush up in person, and suddenly the morale of the Yuzhou army was victorious.
Step up the ladder, Huo Jun jumped quickly, used the big round shield to block the still burning fire oil that was splashed down, and then held the hot big round shield that was still burning, rushed up in a few jumps, threw away the still burning big shield, picked up the big knife behind his back and directly cut off a few spears that stabbed at him, and then jumped up.
"Bang bang bang!" With a few bows and arrows, Huo Jun rolled on the spot, directly grabbed a soldier and used it as a meat shield, and then slashed and slashed a few times, which was considered to be a solid foothold on the city wall.
Then a large group of Yuzhou soldiers wanted to rush up from this gap, but they saw that the well-lined veterans surrounded Huo Jun in all directions with spears, and more than a dozen archers behind him were already ready.
After a burst of gunshots that made Huo Jun scramble, he had no choice but to jump off the city wall, and then retreat under the cover of his own guards.
"The defense is not very tight, and the city is besieged with all its might, surrounded by three queyi, and the generals led the guards to attack the city with all their might." Li Tong was overjoyed when he saw Huo Jun rushing up the city wall, and then he was a little disappointed when he saw that the other party was forced down, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and gave the most suitable order for the moment.
Under Li Tong's order, from Li Tong down, all the soldiers were promised heavy rewards, and the generals of the various departments led the siege of the city from the east, west and south directions.
However, Liu Bei won the popularity of the people, and soon the city defense could see a lot of people who came to deliver food, and even some young people who had participated in the training began to go to the city wall to help defend.
"Damn, it's just a little bit!" Seeing that it was getting late, Li Tong was anxious.
The city has lost a lot of Yuzhou army and Liu Beijun's corpses, with the battle between the two sides, the battle loss ratio began to shrink, and just now Cheng Dù, who was about to be pressed to three to one, told Li Tong after many years of experience, and he was almost a breath away.
