Chapter 299: Soldiers Descend on the City
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu asked, "Who does the eldest brother want to borrow?" ”
"Deng Yu." Liu Xuan said bluntly.
Under Liu Xuan, there are a lot of fierce general-type talents, and the people of the Liu clan are quite capable of fighting, but there is a lack of think-tank talents who can strategize and make suggestions, and at present, the person who can barely make a think tank for Liu Xuan is Liu Jia.
At this time, it was of great significance to attack Wancheng, and Liu Xiu had to be cautious, so he made a special trip to Liu Xiu to borrow someone.
And I have to admit that Liu Xiu's vision is indeed very poisonous, and he immediately chose the number one think tank under Liu Xiu, Deng Yu.
Hearing that the eldest brother was going to borrow Deng Yu, Liu Xiu immediately showed a sudden realization.
He turned his mind around, and felt that it would be good to let Deng Yu go to the eldest brother first. First, it can help the eldest brother, and second, it can also coordinate between the eldest brother and himself, so that the two sides can cooperate in the battle.
Liu Xiu didn't hesitate much, and nodded on the spot: "Okay, big brother, I'll let people get Zhonghua back!" ”
Liu Xuan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Ah Xiu, thank you!" ”
"Big brother is still polite to me!"
Deng Yu, who had just left, was chased back by Long Yuan. Seeing that Liu Xuan was also there, Deng Yu hurriedly bowed down and saluted, saying, "General, lord!" ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand, smiled at Deng Yu, and asked, "Zhonghua, I plan to temporarily transfer you to the eldest brother's account to help the eldest brother, I wonder if Zhonghua is willing to help?" ”
Deng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on, this must have been the general's initiative to open his mouth, otherwise, it would be impossible for the lord to send himself to the general for no reason.
After a moment's consideration, he arched his hand and said, "The subordinates are at the disposal of the lord!" ”
When Liu Xuan heard this, he laughed, walked up to Deng Yu, patted his arm and said, "With Zhonghua to help me and fight Wancheng, I will have a lot more in my heart!" ”
Deng Yu smiled bitterly, leaned over and said, "The general is serious. What he wanted to say was that even with his assistance, it would be very difficult to conquer Wancheng.
Wancheng is the first big city in Nanyang, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that the people who guard Wancheng are still good at attacking and defending.
Not to mention that Liu Xuan only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, in Deng Yu's opinion, even if he had 100,000 troops to attack Wancheng, it would not be easy to fight.
It's just that these words are too demoralizing, and Deng Yu is not very easy to say.
The next day, Liu Xiu got up early, put on his armor, and made preparations for the expedition. Liu Xiu simply finished breakfast, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he heard someone at the gate of the courtyard say, "Miss Yin! ”
Liu Xiu raised his eyes and saw that the person who walked in from outside the courtyard was Yin Lihua. Liu Xiu stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Lihua, why are you here?" ”
Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu in a daze. Liu Xiu, who was dressed in military uniform, and Yin Lihua was also seen for the first time.
Liu Xiu was wearing a red robe, a silver jacket on his head, a silver armor, and a sword under his ribs, which was majestic, and Zhou's body naturally exuded the murderous aura of a soldier.
Yin Lihua looked at it for a moment, lowered her head, and said, "I'm here to send Uncle Wen on the expedition!" ”
As she spoke, she took out a jade plaque from her belt, walked up to Liu Xiu, tied it to the buckle of the silver armor, and said, "I heard that jade has aura and can keep people safe!" ”
Liu Xiu's heart warmed, and he looked down at the small jade plate tied to the silver armor, which was white, crystal clear, and exuded a soft light. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched it, it was smooth and warm, and there was still Yin Lihua's body temperature on it.
His fingers gently rubbed the jade plate, and after a while, he said, "Lihua can be in Xinye, waiting for me to return triumphantly!" As he spoke, he shook Yin Lihua's hand.
Yin Lihua instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but Liu Xiu didn't let go.
She didn't use much strength, and Liu Xiu didn't have much strength to hold it. Seeing this, Liu Quan, who was waiting beside him, waved his hand to the servants and maids around him, signaling them to leave, and he himself quickly retreated outside the courtyard.
No one else was present, and Yin Lihua did not show strong rejection, and Liu Xiu was a little bolder.
He slowly raised his other hand, hooked Yin Lihua's slender waist, and took it back, Yin Lihua naturally pounced on him, and his hands naturally wrapped around her waist and held her in his arms.
The silver armor was cold, but Yin Lihua felt very warm, and the warmth made her eyes hot. Her eyes were red, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she said in a choked voice: "If you promise me, you must do it!" ”
This time, Liu Xiu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to block the 100,000 army of the imperial court, and Yin Lihua's heart was empty, and there was no bottom at all.
Listening to her words, Liu Xiu's heart was shocked, and he used his fingers to support Yin Lihua's jaw, making her bow her head up. Seeing the tears hanging on her cheeks, Liu Xiu couldn't help but lower her head and kiss the tears away.
"Uncle Wen......"
Yin Lihua called out his name, and Liu Xiu's lips were already printed on her diamond lips.
His kiss was light and quick, like a dragonfly touching water. Before Yin Lihua could react, he straightened up, hugged Yin Lihua's waist tighter, and said, "When this battle is over, I will go to Xinye to propose!" ”
After speaking, he greedily hugged her waist again, and then, letting go of his hand, he strode out.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave.
Yin Lihua stood in place in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and she hurriedly turned around and chased out. When she ran to the gate of the mansion, she saw that Liu Xiu was already sitting on a horse, and around him, there were many soldiers on horseback.
There were some people she knew, but most of them she had never met.
Liu Xiu forced himself not to take a second look at Yin Lihua, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
With Liu Xiu's order, the Han soldiers present marched forward together.
Before Liu Xiu left, he still raised his hand and gently patted the jade plate hanging on the silver armor. Yin Lihua noticed his movements, and her tears couldn't stop anymore, and they flowed down in a stream.
She and Liu Xiu have known each other for a long time, or they have met, but the contact between them has not been for a long time, but she knows very well in her heart that Liu Xiu has done a lot of things for her, although she has never said a word in front of her.
Looking at Liu Xiu, who was in the middle of the team and was gradually moving away, Yin Lihua stood outside the gate of the mansion, motionless for a long time.
Accompanying Liu Xiu were Ma Wu, Choshi generals, and some pro-soldier guards, and the real brigade was outside the city.
Liu Xiu went out of the city and joined Wang Chang and others who were waiting outside the city. Confirming that his own soldiers and horses had arrived, Liu Xiu ordered the whole army to go north.
Shortly after the departure of the 30,000 Han troops led by Liu Xiu and Wang Chang, the 10,000 Han troops led by Liu Xuan also marched north.
Let's say that Liu Xiu is a one, and he will gather in the south, gather in Xiaochang'an, and approach Wancheng. When they arrived near Wancheng, the army did not stop, went around the city, and continued to go north, until the sunset in the north of Wancheng.
Sunset Ju is also a grain production area near Wancheng, the west is the Shahe River, the east is the water of the water, located between the two waters, the soil is fertile, even in the period of great drought, the crops here are still abundant.
Originally, the sunset gathered here as a fortress, but later more and more people migrated over, and it became a large stronghold.
At present, there are no officers and soldiers guarding the Sunset, and after Liu Xiu arrived at the Sunset, he directly occupied this place without bloodshed.
The center of the sunset gathering is the fortress that was originally built, although the area of the fortress is not small, but it is not very large, and it can garrison 2,000 people if it is fully calculated.
After arriving at the sunset, Liu Xiu immediately ordered to recruit the local people to build city defenses around the sunset. Now, Yan You and Chen Mao have led the army into Nanyang, leaving little time for Liu Xiu and others, and if they want to build a perfect city defense system, there is simply not enough time, 30,000 Han troops, plus thousands of people recruited from the local and surrounding areas
It took five days to build a circle of three-meter-high and one-meter-thick earthen walls around the sunset.
That's the limit of what they can do. The day after the earthen wall was just built, Yan You and Chen Mao, who were known as the 100,000 army, arrived at Sunset.
Liu Xiu and Wang Changzhu will stand on the earthen wall and raise their eyes to look out.
I saw that two miles away from the earthen wall, the black pressure was all the reckless army array. Even if you stand at a height of three meters, you can only see the head of the formation, not the end of the formation.
An army of this size, even if there are not 100,000, is at least 60,000 or 70,000. Looking at the huge reckless army outside the city, Liu Xiu and the others invariably narrowed their eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Woowoo woo –
When the Mang army lined up in battle, the sound of drums and trumpets sounded in the camp of the Mang army. At the same time, a group of men rushed out of the camp of the reckless army and stopped when it was still half a mile away from sunset.
This group of people, about 2,000 people, led by a reckless general, silver helmet and silver armor, a big red cloak on the back, and a long knife in his hand.
He urged his horse to come out of his main formation, wandering back and forth in front of the earthen wall where the sun was setting, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Chong, who dares to come out and fight with me?" ”
Seeing that there were reckless generals coming to challenge, the generals of the Xiajiang army took the lead and couldn't hold their breath.
With the sound of the clattering armor, a green forest general came out of the ranks, intervened to Wang Chang, and said in a loud voice: "The reckless thief is rampant, there is no one in his eyes, and the last general will lead a battle with the thief!" ”
Wang Chang did not express his position immediately, but turned his head to look at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu looked at the green forest general who asked Ying. This person's name is Huang Fang, in the Xiajiang Army, he can be regarded as the No. 1 general, but Liu Xiu has also heard of Zhang Chong, he is a tiger general under Yan You's account, and he has followed Yan You for no less than ten years, and he is deeply respected by Yan You, can Huang Fang be Zhang Chong's right
Hand, it's really hard to say!
Seeing that Liu Xiu hesitated, as if he couldn't believe himself, Huang Fang's donkey suddenly jumped up in a temper, and he said in a deep voice: "General Liu, the last general will go to war, and he will marry the head of the thief, if he can't win, the last general is willing to see you back!" ”
When he said this, it was tantamount to not giving Liu Xiu room to refuse. Liu Xiu frowned imperceptibly. Wang Chang didn't ignore the slight change in Liu Xiu's expression, his face sank, and he scolded Huang Fang: "Presumptuous! ”
Huang Fang shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly bowed down, but his eyes still looked at Liu Xiu, as if he was waiting for him to give the order to let him fight!
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Chong is Yan You's cronies, he has been following Yan You for a long time, and he has always been deeply appreciated by Yan You, General Huang is going to war, you must be more careful, if you can't win, you can withdraw immediately, I won't blame you!" ”
"Haha!" Huang Fang laughed and said confidently: "General Liu, don't worry, the head of the erector, I, Huang Fang, have decided it!" As he spoke, he saluted Liu Xiu and Wang Chang again, and then turned and walked under the earthen wall. Huang Fang took five hundred Han troops, went out of the sunset gathering, and went straight to Zhang Chong on the opposite side.
