Chapter 31: Po Guangzong is tonight

Not surprisingly, Liu He's 5,000 Yellow Turban Army was also defeated after losing a third.

Five thousand people didn't even approach the city gate, and Liu He himself was hit by an arrow in the thigh.

Seeing Liu He retreat with the remnants, Zhang Liang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and without waiting for Liu He to say anything, he waved his hand and directly asked Liu He to be carried down.

One by one, Qu Shuai took turns with the Yellow Turban Army under his account.

But the best result was Bian Si, who was the first to play.

Only Bian Si's troops slammed the city gate dozens of times with logs, and many more did not even approach the city gate.

And all the Qu Shuai who participated in the attack, without exception, were all injured.

It's just that the places where they were injured are not critical, and they are not life-threatening.

Arms and thighs, and one that turned out to be an arrow in the ass.

Zhao Hui didn't know how he let his ass be hit by an arrow when he was charging.

The combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is not strong, but the leading Qu Shuai is not a fool, and he has his own little abacus.

If they really do their best, no matter the cost.

Zhao Hui believed that the Guangzong in front of him would definitely not be able to stop it.

But every commander wants to retain his own strength, and he doesn't want the Yellow Turban Army to be damaged.

In the first few waves, because Zhang Liang first arrived, he was careful that he would be killed and set an example, and he still made a contribution.

But the further back they were, the farther the charging Yellow Turbans were from the city gates, the smaller their casualties were.

Zhao Hui can be regarded as having seen through these Qu Shuai.

There are benefits, there is no danger, they rush faster than anyone else.

But when encountering this kind of siege, which requires hard power and is a dangerous task, he began to paddle and pretend.

Qu Shuai is like this, no wonder the Yellow Turban Army below, even if it has been rebelling for so long, there is still no change.

Looking at Qu Shuai, who was injured, Zhang Liang's heart was full of anger, and he wanted to behead all these people.

Don't say that you can capture Guangzong today, it is a problem that tomorrow how many of these Qu Shuai can go into battle.

"Take me and put it on me." Zhang Liang said.

These Qu Shuai are reluctant to contribute, Zhang Liang didn't see it.

Since you don't want to fight, then I'll do it myself.

"General, it's not early, why don't you withdraw your troops temporarily and fight again tomorrow?" The injured Bian Si stepped forward.

Seeing that it was Bian Si, Zhang Liang's face was a little better.

After watching it for a day, only Bian Si satisfied him.

There are dozens of commanders in the Yellow Turban Army, and only a few really dare to fight.

Although it was not early, where would Zhang Liang be willing, and said that he would defeat Guangzong today, how could he retreat.

Seeing Zhang Liang rushing out with the people, Zhao Hui did not follow.

The Yellow Turban Army is not equipped well, if Zhao Hui is in charge of this siege, he will definitely not choose to attack.

Zhang Liang's attack lasted for an hour, and he reached the city gate many times, but the city gate was never knocked open.

In the end, it was dark, and Zhang Liang had to leave thousands of corpses behind and withdraw back.

With Zhang Liang retreating, today's siege operation officially ended, and the Yellow Turban Army lost tens of thousands of people, and failed to capture Guangzong.

Zhang Liang withdrew with his troops to the camp ten miles away.

The camp of Bian Si and others is five miles outside the city, and it is eight miles away from the northeast of Zhangliang camp.

Zhao Hui watched it for a day today and was very disappointed with the Yellow Turban Army and those Qu Shuai.

After returning to his camp, he called Li Mao and Li De again.

"Tell me what the situation is in Guangzong City now, don't say you know what the result is."

Their spirits had been broken by Zhao Hui in the morning, and they didn't dare to hide anything in the face of Zhao Hui's inquiry at this moment.

Whatever Zhao Hui asked, they answered.

Soon Zhao Hui almost figured out the situation in the city, and then locked the two up again.

Gwangjong Fortress has been besieged for five days, and although it has not been conquered, the hearts of the people in the city are not stable due to the lack of soldiers.

However, because the gentry in the city had already prepared, they were not short of grain and grass, and it was impossible to wait for the grain and grass in the city to be urgent.

Lu Zhi's army will be able to reach Julu in half a month at most.

Because Lu Zhi came all the way behind, he also easily recovered some cities along the road, and the time was much later than originally estimated.

How to break the city?

There were not many defenders in the city, only 5,000 people, only more than 2,000 real soldiers, and the other 2,000 or so were Ming soldiers organized by the gentry, and a considerable part of them were servants of the gentry's family.

After all, if the city is broken, these gentry will definitely be stabbed by the Yellow Turban Army, and their money and food will be taken away.

Therefore they were most attentive in defending the city.

There were only 5,000 defenders, but 70,000 or 80,000 besieged the city.

Under normal circumstances, any army can really break through the city in just one day, or even without a day.

But this obviously does not include the Yellow Turbans.

When the Yellow Turban Army had an advantage in numbers, it was okay to fight field battles.

Lure the enemy out of the city?

Zhao Hui quickly ruled out this idea.

There is plenty of food and grass in the city, and it is obvious that the scholars in the city do not need to take risks as long as they guard the city gate and wait for Lu Zhi's army to arrive.

Blending into the city?

Zhao Hui felt that this was okay, and he should be mixed into the city.

It's just how to get in, it's not good if there are fewer people who sneak into the city, and it's easy to be found if there are more.

Zhao Hui came to the place where Li Mao and Li De were imprisoned again, and asked directly: "How can I enter the city without being discovered?" You'd better be honest, if my people use your methods and don't get into the city, huh! ”

"When we entered the city, we were pulled up by ropes from the city walls." Li Mao Li De cried face.

I thought I was just hiding in the mountains to see if there was no danger, how did I know that it would fall into the hands of Zhao Hui.

Remembering the rat on the belly......

The two of them are still shuddering.

Although they wanted to say a way to enter the city, the two did not dare to deceive Zhao Hui.

"How did you get in touch with the people on the walls?" Zhao Hui continued to ask.

"There is a section of the city wall that the Li family is responsible for, and we only need to report our names when we go to the city." Li De said.

The more he explained, the smoother he spoke, and he seemed to have long forgotten that he was a member of the Li family.

"So?"

Zhao Hui didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army was so undisciplined, and the defenders organized by these gentry in the city were almost the same.

Now is a time of war, but when you enter the city, you can easily enter as long as you report your name, and you are not afraid of getting into spies.

"Which section of the city wall is your Li family responsible for?" Zhao Hui said.

Li De said: "It's Ximen." ”

"Very good, if I take Guangzong City, I promise to let you go, but if I fail, I will let you taste all the tortures, the rat is just an insignificant one."

When Zhao Hui spoke, he kept looking at the expressions of the two.

Judging from the performance of the two today, Zhao Hui can judge that what the two are saying now is the truth.

Although it was already night, Zhao Hui still went to see Zhang Liang immediately.

Tonight is definitely a very good opportunity to storm Gwangjong City in one fell swoop.

Zhang Liang was in a very bad mood, and just whipped the guards who made him angry.

"Coach Zhao, what are you doing?"
