Chapter 291: Sound North Strikes South

It is still difficult to determine who won and who lost in the battle of Youzhou, but General Han Meng must be the most depressed person, since that day when the sword was tense, he was interrupted by Zhang He, and then there was no chance to raise a spear on a prancing horse except for defending the city. This time he came to take Anxian County, Zhang Heke made a military order in front of Xi Zhicai, and the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion fought for their lives, and the siege battle maintained a very high intensity from the first day, and after three days of fierce fighting, the city wall of Anxian County was already full of holes and scars, and the soldiers suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, Han Meng was already very doubtful at this time whether he could hold on to the arrival of the lord.

This is not because Anxian County is not strong or Han Meng is too incompetent, in fact, Anxian County has been operated by Yuan Shao for several years, and the city defense is very solid, and Han Meng is also quite strategic. It's just that the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion have been practicing the method of siege every day for half a year, and they are trained by Gao Shun, who is known for being good at attacking the city, and the Tiger Prison Pass, which is known as the world's first male pass, is used for actual combat! No matter how strong Anxian is, it can't be compared with the Tiger Prison, and Zhang He's ability to use troops is far above Han Meng, and it is logical to combine it in one place a few times, resulting in the current situation.

This is a siege war after all, Zhang He under the city is not in a better mood at this time, in the siege war to the enemy caused more than 3,000 casualties, the tiger guard battalion also paid the price of more than 5,000 soldiers, this is already quite an astonishing proportion, but Jun Yi has no intention of settling accounts at this time, all he thinks about is how to take down Anxian within two days, the military order is not a joke, as for the casualties of his brothers, he can't think too much, as the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, as a general, he is too constrained by this to do nothing! In front of him, Han Meng's resistance is still very tenacious, he is thinking hard about the strategy of breaking the enemy in the tent, it seems that Jun Yi's luck is good today, and a herald came to report:

"Report, General, Captain Li, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, asks to see you!"

"Suzaku Battalion? Iron Bull has arrived? Don't hurry up yet, please. Zhang He immediately stood up and looked happy.

"Li Tieniu, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, has seen General Zhang!" Before the herald went out, the black and strong Li Tieniu had already walked in with a smile, and the military salute was seen by Zhang He.

"You kid don't give me ghosts, but I think about it day and night for the past two days." Zhang He smiled and stepped forward to help Li Tieniu, and gave him a punch in his chest, and at this time, the sorrow had completely disappeared.

"Kindness came to help you overnight, and when you meet, you will be heavy-handed, General Zhang, your fists and kicks are not something that anyone can bear." Li Tieniu covered his chest and complained, this is not to blame him, Zhang He was overjoyed just now, and he didn't care about the severity for a while, this punch is not light.

"Oh, I'm too happy to see you coming, if you can take this Anxian County for me, Zhang will let you return ten punches!" The sky-bombarding cannon in the hands of the Vermilion Bird Battalion is a siege weapon, and the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass have suffered enough, as the old fourth battalion started by Liu Yi, Li Tieniu can be seen as a commander, although he is a captain, but Zhang He has never despised him, and Tie Niu and Gongming are still close friends.

"The general can rest assured, Li will do his best, and the military division will also explain here." Speaking of Xi Zhicai, Li Tieniu immediately put away his joking expression and said solemnly.

"What does the military advisor have to explain, Tie Niu said quickly." Zhang He also urged.

"Tomorrow, my Vermilion Bird Battalion will go all out to help General Zhang attack the city, and we must attract all the spirit of Han Meng to the north gate, and no matter whether we can break through the north gate or not, General Zhang Yan will attack the south gate, which is the plan of the military advisor to attack the north and the south." Li Tieniu said.

"It's so good, I also have a lot of experience in the attack on Anxian County in the past few days, just take a closer look at Tie Niu, our brothers work together, and we don't necessarily have to work General Zhang Yan!" Although Zhang He agreed with the strategy of the military advisor, he also hoped to take Anxian County with his own strength.

"Okay, Tie Niu is at the general's disposal, but you have to take care of dinner first." Li Tieniu first responded solemnly, and then turned into a smiling face, but he and his subordinates were marching with all their might, and they just filled their stomachs casually on the way, and now that the war is imminent, it is definitely not possible not to eat a good meal.

"Hahaha, I'm still afraid that I'll starve you, so I ordered to go down and prepare meals for the brothers in the Suzaku Camp immediately, kill more cattle and sheep, and iron bulls, and I will talk while you eat!" Zhang He laughed and said, the guards in the camp also immediately went to arrange, Liu Yijun did not do a good job in logistics.

The two of them discussed in great detail, the suppression of the bombardment cannon and the impact of the Tiger Guard Battalion should have a just right connection, which is very knowledgeable, it is easy to hurt their own soldiers early, if it is too late, it will give the enemy a chance to re-arm, fortunately, the Tiger Guard Battalion and the Vermilion Bird Battalion have cooperated several times under the Tiger Prison Pass, and the discussion between them is more from the situation in Anxian County, and the discussion has been until midnight, Li Tieniu walked out of Zhang He's big tent.

After a bitter battle under the Tiger Prison, now the Vermilion Bird Battalion is even more proficient and fast in the range of the Sky Bombardment, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved, which is tantamount to a nightmare for the soldiers of Yuan in the head of Anxian County! In the early morning, the Suzaku battalion, which had just seen the red scarf on the arm of the city, set up a cupola cannon, and after a while, the rocks like flying locusts smashed over, and the city was in chaos under the surprise, and when they just figured out the trajectory of these flying stones, the even more huge stones once again made the city defenders scatter! What followed was the just right impact of the Tiger Guard Battalion soldiers, and they who were given the death order by Zhang He today rushed to the city wall of Anxian County like a wave.

Han Meng at the head of the city was also confused by the flying stones of the Vermilion Bird Camp for a while, but after all, he was a person who had been in battle for a long time, looking at the swept Tiger Guard Battalion, he also noticed that the Sky Bombardment Cannon would never send stones again at this time, and immediately shouted loudly to order the defenders who were crawling at the head of the city to immediately enter the state of battle, and he also took the lead in coming to the battlement and began to release arrows.

Under the personal encouragement of the main general, the defenders of the city head gradually regained their calm, the rain of arrows gradually thickened, rolling wood and stones, and the boiling oil continued to pour down from the city, and the screams of the siege soldiers could be heard from time to time, but these could not stop the determination of the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion today, one after another cloud ladders were erected on the head of the city, and the soldiers were all fearless of death to climb upward, and would not look at the companions who fell from their side, and the battlefield was always the law of the jungle, and they could only be as hard as iron. Any mercy and softness will make you a joke.

After many soldiers climbed the tower, they did not care about the enemy's swords and guns, and immediately flew up, even if there were several swords and guns in their bodies, they would try their best to hold the enemy soldiers firmly, and use their own sacrifices to create gaps for their successors.

As the saying goes, the soldier is the courage of the general, the general is the soul of the soldier, Zhang He's bravery naturally also affected every Tiger Guard Battalion soldier, it is their invincible momentum today that makes the defenders feel cold, and soon there will be more and more soldiers to climb the city and Yuan Army bloody battle, at the beginning of the Tiger Guard Battalion is naturally at a disadvantage, but as time goes by, more and more soldiers are in the city, and this situation is gradually reversing. In front of these heroic siege soldiers, the bloody nature of the Yuan army has also been thoroughly stimulated, they will not give an inch to fight with the other party to the end, even if the elite like the tiger guard battalion can only be inseparable from them, so the soldier is Zhang He, who is watching the battle under the city, also nodded secretly, except for the lord's command, he has not yet seen a strong soldier who can be inseparable from his subordinates.

Han Meng was already in a blood-stained robe at this time, and his sharp broadsword had already been reversed, he didn't know how many Liu Yijun's soldiers he had killed, he only knew that as long as there was an enemy in front of him, his broadsword would continue to wield! Just when the two sides in the city were in full swing, there was a shout of killing in the south of the city, and Han Meng suddenly became excited, but when he saw the uniform of the incoming army, his heart had sunk to the bottom, and those soldiers were all wearing yellow scarves!

Under the joint attack of the Tiger Guard Battalion and the Vermilion Bird Battalion, how could Han Meng have the spare strength to take care of the South Gate again, he could only hate Gao Lan, Ju Yichun, Yu Qiong and others for being as cowardly as rats, allowing the Yellow Shirt Battalion to come and go freely in Jizhou! It didn't take much effort, Zhang Yan had already opened the south gate, and after the Yellow Shirt Battalion entered the city, they went straight to the north gate, and the bloody battle in front of him also shocked Zhang Yan.

More than ten Yuan Shao soldiers surrounded Han Meng in the middle, and the surroundings were already full of Liu Yijun's soldiers, and the defenders of Anxian County were all killed in battle except for the dozen or so who were still standing and the rest who were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

"Brother Han, Zhang Mou was offended in the city that day." Zhang He actually bowed at this time, and he found that he couldn't do anything else to persuade him to surrender? It was an insult to the warriors in front of him.

"Ahem, you're not wrong, hahaha, each is its own master, I only hate Gao Lanchun and Yu Qiong and others for being as timid as a mouse, no matter what, it is not a loss to die in your hands today!" Han Meng forcibly suppressed the blood that was almost up to his throat, and it was actually a horizontal sword that killed himself. Seeing this, the soldiers around him also followed suit, and the 10,000 defenders of Anxian County were all wiped out at this time!

"Order, no matter the corpse of the enemy and our army, we must be well restrained, Brother Han, there were several fates back then, and I will let someone send you on your last journey today." Zhang He said solemnly, at this time, all the Liu Yi soldiers at the head of the city were standing solemnly, so the enemy army was worthy of their admiration! Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to take care of the soldiers of the Huwei Battalion, and collected the corpses of both sides. In the first battle of the state, the Tiger Guard Battalion tried to block Lu Buwan's five soldiers and only 3,000 soldiers, and the Tiger Prison fought a battle, the Tiger Guard Battalion moved forward bravely, and 8,000 soldiers were on the bloody battlefield, and now in the first battle of Anxian County, only 7,000 of the 20,000 Tiger Guard Battalion soldiers who were re-replenished remained. This is the eternal fate of the ace army, but as long as Zhang He is still there and the veterans do not die, the Tiger Guard Battalion will still be a strong army that makes the enemy fearful!

Although Han Meng's body fell, his eyes were still wide, and he seemed to be unwilling, the lord's army was obviously coming, why did he let this Zhang Yan take the lead? Obviously, he will never know this answer, Yuan Shao's army has indeed arrived, but what Bing Feng is pointing to is not Anxian!
