It is thirty miles away from the stone city.

Yan Liang's army is here.

"Lishi City is too tall and strong, and our siege troops are too small to take the city in one go. Judging from the siege of the city in the past few days, we can basically determine that there are more than 30,000 enemies. Coupled with the strength of the stone city, I calculate that it should take 50,000 foot soldiers to break the city. Yan Liang said.

"Huh? Fifty thousand? ”

"That's too much, isn't it?"

"Just these 5,000 siege echelons, we are still transferred from Hedong County. How can there be 50,000 foot soldiers? ”

The generals were a little anxious.

Without troops, they can't attack Lishi, and they can't enter Taiyuan, so they can only watch others make contributions.

"General, you have to find a way." Bai Huan said.

"yes."

Yan Liang was also worried.

I thought that with 5,000 siege echelons, I could capture Lishi City, but now it is a little passive.

Yan Liang stared at the map in front of him: "The surrounding area from Shicheng is mostly mountains and paths, which are extremely easy to ambush, and war horses cannot pass. The most irritating thing is that Lishi has a special geographical location, and it is impossible for our army to spare it. ”

"If you want to enter Taiyuan, you have to capture Lishi City!"

As Yan Liang's words fell, the generals present all lowered their heads.

Yan Liang is right.

You can only storm Stone City!

"Report." Just when everyone's faces were sad, a captain ran into the camp tent quickly: "General, Hedong County is urgent!" ”

"Bring it!"

Yan Liang took the battle report and opened it.

There are two lines of words on the battle report: "Cao Ren led 20,000 elite soldiers, has captured Banpujin, and is coming towards Hedong County, our soldiers are invincible, I hope the general will save me!" ”

"I have 10,000 infantry troops and 5,000 cavalry in Hedong County, but can't I defeat Cao Ren's 20,000 infantry troops?" Yan Liang threw away the battle report and snorted: "How can this be true! ”

"The generals stationed in Banpujin and Hedong County are the former Montenegro Guo Daxian and Sun Qing, their martial arts are mediocre and their strategies are insufficient, how can they be Cao Ren's opponents? It would be good that they could hold out until the general came back to help. Yan Liang's lieutenant general said.

"Ugh."

Yan Liang sat down and said, "It seems that this is away from Shicheng, and there is no way to fight anymore." ”

"Does the general want to go back to Hedong?" Bai Huan asked.

"Hedong is located behind our flank, and once we lose, we will be alone, and we will be flanked by Yuan Shang's troops and Cao Ren's troops. More importantly, after Cao Ren captured Hedong County, he may transfer troops from Chang'an to strengthen the defense of Hedong County. Our soldiers are not good at attacking cities, how can we take back Hedong? Therefore, it is necessary to rush back to help him before he captures Hedong County. ”

Yan Liang knew the power of this, and said without hesitation: "Give the order immediately, after noon, the whole army will march eastward." Within a day, it is necessary to rush back to Hedong. As for leaving Stone City, let's leave it for two days first. After I finish Cao Ren, I will make a plan. ”

"No."

The congregation will answer.

Immediately, Yan Liang's army gave up attacking Lishi and returned to Hedong.

The battle of the generals in Yanmen Pass is still raging.

The ten generals sent by the senior cadres are all very strong. One of them was a Hun warrior, simply invincible. But the strange thing is that the fighting generals fought for a long time, and they didn't even finish the two-on-two.

The two will fight each other and will always be tied.

"It's clear that the senior cadres are stalling for time. He wanted to wait for reinforcements from Taiyuan. Chen Deng saw through it at a glance.

"What then?" Jiao asked him.

"I can't spend any more time with him, and I will attack the city immediately. So as not to miss the opportunity. ”

"Okay."

Jiao Touchda stepped forward and yelled at Gao Gan on the opposite side: "Gao Gan, your name is Du, but in fact, you are delaying time, how can you hide this little trick?" Hmph, this general will not entangle with you, immediately attack the city, and the previous bet will be stopped! ”

Jiao Touch's voice fell, and the generals who participated in the capital in front of them all returned quickly.

"Jiao Touch, you don't believe what you say!" Gao Gan said angrily.

"You were the first to cheat, how can you complain about General Ben?"

After everyone returned, Jiao Touch waved his hand and said, "Prepare to attack the city!" The five thousand siege echelons slowly walked out of the military formation, approaching the Yanmen Pass in the distance, and quickly approached.

"Back to the city." Gao Gan did not dare to delay, and also returned to the Yanmen Pass City, imprisoned the city gates, and prepared to resist the attack of the Jiao Touch army.

Roar, roar, roar

The siege soldiers carried the oversized ladder and rushed to the tower.

Jiao Touch and Chen Deng watched intently from behind. Both of them were worried. Yanmen Pass City, extremely tall and strong, the casualties of the assault will not be small, if you can capture Yanmen Pass, it will be enough. What if you pay a heavy price and still don't capture Yanmen Pass?

"I don't know what happened to the lord and General Yan Liang? The Huguan and Lishi in Xiping County that they attacked should be easier than ours, right? Chen Deng said suddenly.

"Yan Liang is not easy to say. But the lord must be invincible. Jiao touched the confident road.

"Oh? So sure? ”

"Hahaha, of course. Who is the lord? Yuan Shang, can you stop him? With those behemoths, you can easily conquer the city. What's more, the lord also brought more than 100,000 troops with him on this trip. What kind of battle can't you win? Jiao Yan said with a smile.

"I hope so."

Chen Deng thought in his heart that if Yanmen Pass could not be attacked, it would depend on Yuan Xi and Yan Liang, as long as these two armies could win. The Yanmen Pass is self-defeating.

The siege went on for a long time.

The Youzhou Army paid huge casualties.

Almost all of the soldiers who participated in the siege were wounded, and some fell off the tower and were shot and killed.

Jiao Touch and Chen Deng could only watch anxiously, and there was nothing they could do.

Until it was dark, the city had not been breached, to be precise, not even the edge of the city wall had been touched. Jiao Touch had no choice but to order, and the whole army retreated to the camp, and after resting, they would attack the city again.

In this siege battle, more than 3,000 elite infantry soldiers were lost.

Although they are all troops transferred from Jizhou, it is still heartache to be anxious.

In the account.

Jiao Jian found Chen Deng: "Sir, do you have any way to lure Gao Gan out of the city, and we will eliminate him outside the city." ”

"Gao Gan is not incompetent, he is vigilant. Last time, we pretended to be a Xiongnu as a lure, but only one of his lieutenants was recruited. Now he is more vigilant, afraid that it will not be successful. Chen Deng sighed: "Let's think about it, how to attack the city, right?" ”

"If only the lord's behemoth was here."

Jiao Zhen really misses the time when he fought Tuoba Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei, when the giant beast came out, invincible, and the enemy was terrified. Now he is leading the army to attack the city, but he is a little powerless.

Could it be that Yanmen Pass really can't be overcome?

Chen Deng said: "From today's siege warfare, it can be seen that the reason why the enemy army is strong mainly depends on his equipment and fire oil. These two things have caused huge casualties to our army. I heard that the lord has sent General Gao Huai to be responsible for destroying the oil, but I don't know if it is in Yanmen Pass. ”

"That's right." Jiao touched and said: "I'll contact Gao Huai immediately." Destroy their oil and equipment first, and then when they attack the city, see what resistance they can take. ”
