Chapter Ninety-Six: Breaking the Siege (I)

"General." A young man stepped forward to stop Jiang Xing, hugged his fists and said, "General, it's not good for us, we shouldn't make trouble for you at this time, now there are not enough people in Youzhou City, and please allow us all to participate in the defense together." ”

Jiang Xing was moved and didn't know how to say for a while, he grabbed the young man's hand, "Young man, I appreciate your kindness." But let's defend the city, so let everyone go back." ”

"General!" The young man looked stubborn and said firmly, "We are all the people of the Great Zhou, and our homes are guarded by our own hands. ”

That's a good point. Jiang Xing looked at this young man with satisfaction, yes, my Da Zhou people should be so bloody and courageous.

"In that case, well, I agreed." Jiang Xing readily agreed, and then asked, "Young man, what's your name?" ”

"General Hui, the little one's name is Wu Ke." The young man hurriedly replied.

"Okay, Wu Ke. This general ordered you to lead the villagers to prepare some stones and linen cloth and transport them to the city, is there any problem? Jiang Xing commanded.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Wu Ke hugged his fists.

Loadloads of stones, linen, etc., were carried to the city walls. Jiang Xing asked the soldiers to use the trebuchet in the city to wrap the stones in sackcloth, light them and throw them into the Bohai army, which was extremely lethal.

In this way, with the joint efforts of the military and civilians of the whole city, the Bohai Navy was stubbornly resisted for more than two hours. It was not until noon that the Bohai Navy retreated, which was considered to be the end of this first round of offensive.

"General, what are we going to do next?" Yan Zhongye, the general, asked Jiang Xing on the city wall.

Jiang Xing looked at the Bohai Navy camp a few miles away, and said to himself, "I don't know what happened to Marshal Wangye." If you want to report the news, you have to bypass the Bohai Navy......"

However, the Bohai Navy is stationed not far from the city, and they must also have scouts squatting around Youzhou City, once someone leaves the city, they will inevitably be chased and killed at the first time. Whether it is Wang Shilong, the army of the North Road, or Zhang Shaohua, the army of the Middle Road, you can always go to the city wherever you go.

"General, let me go." Yan Zhongye volunteered, "I have long been familiar with the terrain in this area, and if I bring a few more brothers, there will always be someone who can escape." ”

"Nope." Jiang Xing immediately rejected Yan Zhongye's proposal, "You are just sending you to death, you can't do it." ”

"What then?" Yan Zhongye said, "If this continues, more people will die if the city is broken!" ”

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Xing turned to look at Youzhou City behind him, his mind was full of the faces of the people, he thought for a while and said, "At night, go out again while it's dark." ”

Listening to Jiang Xing's words, Yan Zhongye smiled with relief, "Yes, General!" ”

But who knows, before it was too late to wait for the night, the Bohai Navy launched another attack. Earlier, when Shi Guangtong gave the order, he said that Murong Lin and the others should capture the city as soon as possible, otherwise when Yu Wenxuan and they came to their senses, they would definitely return to defend Youzhou quickly. At that time, the situation will inevitably be passive and unfavorable to the Bohai Navy.

So after a short rest, Murong Lin, Cao Zhijie and Sun Jian led the army to attack Youzhou City.

However, it was said that Yu Wenxuan personally led five thousand light horsemen to leave Guqiu, and it was already dusk when he arrived outside Youzhou City. Far away, you can see the beacon fire, wolf smoke, and the flames of war. The heart said, "Sure enough." He immediately ordered a charge against the Bohai Navy outside the city.
