Chapter 736: Xu Yu went out of the city, and Huang Xu guarded the pass
"What? Only...... Here it is! ”
Although he knew that there would be such a day, after hearing the news, Yuan Shao still had a little palpitations.
Xu You was also in a trance.
Is it finally time for the final showdown?
But our plan is not yet complete.
"What should Ziyuan do now? Guo Jia is here, the fifth captain's army, the fourth captain's army, the second captain's army, and so on have all gone north, where do you say Guo Jia will fight first? Yuan Shao rubbed his temples, he couldn't live this day, and one worrying thing after another was going to force him to a dead end.
Xu You said: "Lord, Guo Jia went to Benzhuo County through Benzhuo, and the goal is obvious, that is, to eat Gongze and Sangongzi first, and sweep all the way north to Jixian County." ”
The general trend is on Xu Ding's side, there is no need for him to come to Jixian without fighting.
It's shocking to push all the way along.
After Xu Youyi reminded Yuan Shao, he remembered this matter, yes, Guo Jia went to Zhuo County through Runzhuo, this is to fight the public rule and Shang'er first.
Jixian is worry-free for the time being.
"That's not too bad news, as long as they can buy us enough time, then we can do it." Yuan Shao's face improved slightly, and now what he lacked most was time.
Xu You did not refute Yuan Shao's assertion, people are not destroyed.
It is better for Guo Tuxing and others to die than to die by himself, so he said: "Lord, you should send competent people to garrison in order to respond to the prince and the third prince, and not let Guo Jiashun attack smoothly." So I suggested that Youruo go to supervise the battle, and let Wen Chou and Xuan Yuanping withdraw directly to Jixian County. ”
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "It's feasible, so be it, if you do things, I don't worry, with him in Ancicheng to contain Guo Jia, and Ce Ying Gong and Shang'er, this battle can also be persevered." ”
Seeing Yuan Shao's agreement, Xu You said again: "Lord, when Yuanping and them withdraw to Jixian County, I want to go to supervise the capital of the army, make more efforts to capture Juyong Pass, and take this pass as soon as possible, open up the life channel for our army, and win the last opportunity." ”
Yuan Shao stared at Xu You for a while, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he pondered for a while and said, "In this way, you go now, immediately, immediately, and use the fastest time to take Juyong Pass for me." ”
Perhaps due to time pressure, Yuan Shao couldn't wait for Cui Yuanping to arrive.
Anyway, now the Donglai army will not come to attack Jixian County, and they want to clear the periphery in the south, so I can't wait to hope that Xu You can go to Juyong Pass to plan and capture this place quickly.
Xu You was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It's the lord, you will live up to the trust, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent." ”
When Yuan Shao heard Xu You's heroic words, he was also moved, and walked over to hold Xu You's hand and gave him enough attention and courtesy.
Soon Xu Yu went out of the city, but out of Jixian he stared back for a while, then shook his head and sighed with a word that only he could hear.
"Lord, I hope we don't say goodbye, take care ......"
This trip to the military capital, Xu Yu's purpose is not as simple as what Yuan Shao said.
The army is pressing, the future of Jixian County is bleak, and Xu Yu has begun to make other plans.
Just like Guo Jia, in fact, Xu You's personal foresight and judgment ability is also very strong, and the person who supports the intelligence is born with a sense of vigilance
However, the difference between Xu You and Guo Jia is that he is a debauched corpse, but he knows how to be close and friendly, treat people with sincerity, and deceive them.
Although Xu You is also an extremely smart person, he is proud and smug, thinks very much of himself, and disdains to make friends with those who seem to be worthless.
When Xu You had not yet arrived at the military capital, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi started the first wave of attacks on Juyong Pass.
The two of them want to use their own strength to open this door to Upper Valley County as soon as possible.
Therefore, they could not wait for the arrival of most of Wang Song and others to start the attack.
According to the information provided by the Youzhou soldiers in the military capital, there were not many defenders in Juyong Pass at this time, and Xu Ding only left about 1,000 and brought the disabled left cavalry guard.
This information is very precious to Ma Yan and Zhang Yi.
The cavalry defending the city is only 1,000, even if you add 1,800 Yuan Youzhou foot soldiers, it is not too much, and it can fight a wave of fast attack.
So soon after the two captured the military capital, they immediately led their troops to attack Juyong Pass.
When they came to Juyong Pass, the two immediately started to carry out, and the trebuchet troops smashed the city.
Countless stone projectiles flew into it, and soon the city was smashed to pieces.
However, Juyong Pass is not an ordinary city wall in the end, but a well-designed, thickened and heightened gate, and the degree of solidity is not inferior to that of the state capital, or even better.
Therefore, in the face of the storm and rain, the stone bomb is still immovable, only the masonry on the surface is damaged.
Seeing that it was almost over, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, and then said: "Attack, take Juyong Pass, everyone will be rewarded, and the official who kicks the city first will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 100,000 yuan."
Those who open the city gate will be promoted to the fifth level and rewarded with 100,000 yuan! ”
Suddenly, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi's troops had ruthless eyes, and rushed towards Guancheng one by one, and then set up a ladder and climbed up like madmen.
"Hurry, hurry! Give me arrows and shoot down these bastards. Huang Xu, the commander of the city, immediately took his place and commanded the left cavalry guards to start drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
The crossbowmen took their positions and began to pull the trigger continuously.
The crossbow arrows shot wildly like no money, and Yuan Jun, who had just climbed up, screamed and fell down again and again.
Huang Xu himself even got a family heirloom, a big bow, constantly wound up and sent arrows, and the four arrows in a row greatly boosted morale and inspired the soldiers.
"Damn, there is such a strong counterattack in the city." Ma Yan scolded, but he also stared at the city head seriously and said:
"The left cavalry guard is worthy of being a god rider all the time, and the sharpness of the bow and crossbow is really unattainable."
"That guard is a ruthless character, I just counted it, I can connect arrows, the archery is different, I can't wait." Zhang Yi also had a hint of appreciation, but then said: "Order, continue to attack, the crossbowmen will focus on shooting the enemy's main general, whoever can kill the opponent's defender will also be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 100,000 yuan." ”
The order was passed on, and the Yuan army who shot arrows at the city was demoralized again, and they aimed their spearheads at Huang Xu.
If you don't go to the city, you can get great achievements, and these Yuan army crossbowmen are naturally more crazy and hardworking, and they took the initiative to get close to the protection of the shield soldiers and shoot at Huang Xu.
"The general is retreating, the enemy is coming at you." A personal guard hurriedly commanded people to set up a shield around Huang Xu to protect him.
Huang Xu didn't take half a step back, but said with a smile: "It's okay, let them come, continue to fight back for me, mobilize the people to come up, smack the stone and pour oil on me, I'll see who can survive to the end." ”
"But your safety, General, is important, and the enemy's crossbowmen are coming this way." Seeing the crossbowmen of the Yuan army gathered under the city to snipe Huang Xu, the guards anxiously persuaded worriedly.
"Hahaha, it's a good time, throw a few oil bottles for me." Huang Xu was not afraid, and continued to shoot three arrows in a row, killing the opponent's three archers, and then smiled at his incomprehensible subordinates: "Our army has few people defending the city, and we can't invest too much at one time, for fear of being attacked by enemy stone bullets, now I can attract all the enemy crossbowmen alone, and the pressure of our crossbowmen is reduced, and we can kill more enemies."
So give me a good hit, another TM ink. ”
Only then did the guards understand that the boss was deliberate, and they couldn't help but be in awe, and they fought back even more crazy and desperate.
Ma Yan and Zhang Yi looked to see what they had noticed, stared at Huang Xu for a while, and then Ma Yan said: "The other party is a ruthless person, it can be seen that he has not transferred too many soldiers to the city, this is not a chance for us at all, forget it and let the soldiers withdraw." ”
"Okay! Withdraw, the other party is not Gongsun Xu, and it is difficult for mediocre people like Gongsun Fan to be opportunistic. Zhang Yi nodded and agreed to withdraw the troops, this siege was a failure, but Zhang Yi brought his personal guards to explain:
"Don't stop the stone-throwing troops, continue to smash the city pass for me, until it collapses!"
"Whoa!"
