The disparity between the forces of the two sides at the head of the city is too great. If you don't go, you really can't go. Several Cao soldiers pushed Le Jin up the battlements. Motioned for him to climb down the ladder. Then as soon as he turned around and raised his sword, he faced the Soochow soldiers.
"General. Let's go." A Cao soldier hugged Ling Tong who came forward with a gun. Shout at Lejin. Although Ling Tong raised his gun and kept stabbing him. But he just wouldn't let go. In such a short period of time. Lejin is already halfway down the ladder.
"General Xiahou. Le advanced and retreated. We ...... rushed to the time when there was still a dozen zhang distance from the Yecheng city wall. I saw Lejin splashed with blood all over his body. is staggering towards Xiahoudun.
"Bang." Behind Le Jin. The corpse of the last soldier to board first. Thrown from the walls by the defenders. There was a muffled sound.
"Back to camp." Xiahoudun looked at Le Jin's injury. Look at the corpses of the soldiers who first ascended under the city walls. In the end, he swallowed back the complaining words that came to his lips. Signal to the left and right to support Lejin. With a wave of his hand, he ordered. It's getting late. The opportunity has been lost. Hit it hard. It's just a matter of increasing casualties.
"Rest for a few days. Hurry up and build siege weapons. And then take Yecheng in one go." Xiahoudun for the city with high walls and thick walls. There's nothing too good about it. There is only hope for the few trebuchets that are being rushed. In a few days, they will be able to exert their due power.
"Ling Tong. Immediately arrange for men to go outside the city to collect the arrows. Recycling of stone rolling wood. If Luoyang's reinforcements don't arrive on time. Fierce battles await us." After Xiahoudun led the army to retreat. Guan Zheng hurriedly instructed Ling Tong. There is plenty of food and grass in the city. However, the ordnance is depleted very quickly. Yecheng hangs alone in Hebei. and can not be replenished in time. In desperation. Guan Zheng had no choice but to let Ling Tong lead a team of soldiers to sneak out of the city while night fell. Collect clusters of arrows under the city walls and on the corpses of Cao Jun. Stones and logs were essential for defending the city.
"A battle during the day. Cao Jun was hit hard. They need a break. In the same way, we kept it for days. It also needs to be rested. Zhengzi camp hard work. At night, they all went up to the head of the city to garrison. Come down and get a good night's sleep, the brethren who have been fighting for days." Look at the exhausted soldiers outside the tent. Guan Zheng instructed the left and right generals. Zhengzi Battalion. It is the trump card in Guan Zheng's hand. He won't send them into battle until the last minute. So these days. It's relatively easy to get this Zheng word camp. This is exactly the right time. Let them replace the soldiers who have been fighting for days.
"How's General Lejin?" Cao Yingnei. Xiahoudun asked the military doctor who came to treat Lejin. After Le Jin retreated to the city. The breath that I had been carrying before was relieved. Halfway through, I fainted. Tired. He was really tired. It's not just tired. In today's battle, he commanded 3,000 soldiers. All the ink is in the head of Yecheng City. This made Le Jin very sad in his heart. These soldiers. Many of them are veterans who have followed Lejin for more than ten years. each other. They all have a strong friendship. The whole army is in ink. This fact makes it difficult for Lejin to accept.
"The general's injuries are not serious. Just overtired. Fell asleep in the past. You should be able to wake up in a few hours." The doctor was packing up his medicine box. While replying to Xiahoudun.
"So very good. Come people. Send the doctor back." Xia Houdun listened to it happily and it was not a big deal. I felt a little lighter. I called two of my own soldiers. Command them to escort the physician back to the camp.
"Herald's Battalion. Work day and night. Five days later at the latest. I'm going to see a trebuchet appear in front of me." Xiahou waited for the doctor to leave. Then there was also a military tent of Lejin. Not a few steps. He commanded to the left and right. It has been ten days before and after. In addition to adding blood stains on the walls of Yecheng. He has achieved nothing. This makes Xiahoudun, who has always regarded himself very highly. My heart is extremely bright. Can't take Yecheng. He didn't have the face to go back to see Cao Cao.
Unlike Xiahoudun. Zhang Fei and Wei Yan were happily drinking wine in the White Horse Barracks at the moment. Large chunks of meat are eaten. They succeeded in their surprise attack on the White Horse. Zhang Jaw only left 3,000 troops to defend in White Horse. And the forces of Zhang Fei and Wei Yan are combined. There are 10,000 people. The Lord will leave the camp. The generals left behind in the barracks couldn't suppress the soldiers. At the beginning of the war. The Cao soldiers put up a few resistances. And they scattered and fled. Cao Cao's elite men. Part of it is in Nanpi. Part of it is in Xuchang. The rest of the soldiers. Most of them are strong men who are pulled. Then there are the lazy and lazy people. Just point to eating in the barracks and waiting for death. You can't expect these people to go into battle at all.
"Wen Chang. The soldiers who delivered the letter did you send out. Don't delay the governor's business." Zhang Fei drinks alcohol and drinks alcohol. But for the right thing in the army. I still don't dare to slack off.
"Rest assured. One to take the white horse. I even sent ten scouts to Luoyang to deliver the letter. Presumably tomorrow. They'll be able to get to Luoyang." Wei Yan put down the wine bowl in his hand. Said to Zhang Fei.
"Early tomorrow morning. I went back to Huguan and continued to pretend to be Cao Bing. Over here. I'll leave it to you to guard. I don't know. How's the Governor doing?" Zhang Fei was still a little uneasy about Guan Zheng in his heart. There are no eyes on the battlefield. In case something happens to this white-faced governor. In the future, where will he Zhang Fei find such a suitable person?
"Go for a day. Assemble the soldiers for a day. Come one day. Rush to Yecheng for a day. And the governor will be on top for four days. There are reinforcements." I heard Zhang Fei say this. Wei Yan wrenched his fingers and counted there. I was also a little worried. Four days. It's not long. Say short is not short. In case Cao Jun is ruthless. He was afraid that Guan Zheng would not be able to resist. After all, Guan Zheng is in their eyes. There are more like military advisors than military generals.
"General Guan. Warrant of the Governor." Ten scouts rushed back to Luoyang one after another. went straight to the Tiger Prison Pass and handed Guan Zheng's warrant to Guan Yu, who was guarding this pass.
"The day of the order. Urgent Zhao Yun. Ma Chao Er will lead 20,000 to ride 20,000 from the waterway through the White Horse landing. There is no need to come to Yecheng after landing. But wait for the enemy army to attack the city. Raid the enemy camp. And then with a certain front and back pinch. Break Cao Jun. Tube square." After reading Guan Zheng's order. Guan Yu hurriedly got up. Said to the left and right: "Pass Zhao Yun. Ma Chaoer will come to discuss the matter."
Guan Yu knew that this surprise attack on Yecheng was well understood. How much risk Guan Zheng has taken. At this time, since the military order has been issued. Then it means that Guan Zheng completely attracted the large army of Cao's army to the direction of Yecheng.
