Outside Jixian County, the army is lined up, the drums are like thunder, and the trumpets are loud.

A pole is big, and it hunts in the air.

The tens of thousands of troops of the Jizhou army are standing, and the momentum is impressive, and the magnificence is unmatched.

Wang Lei sat in the carriage and looked at the county seat of Jixian County from afar. This city is not only the seat of a county, but also the seat of a state. Under the construction of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, the city is majestic and tall, the city wall is solid and thick, and the county seat of Jixian County also built a wide urn city, which greatly strengthened the defense of Jixian County.

It is not easy to capture Jixian County.

Guo Jia rode a horse and stood next to Wang Lei, looked at the city, and said with emotion: "Jixian County is different from Fanyang County, Zhuo County and other cities, and has built an urn city, as well as countless fortifications. If you want to storm Jixian County, there are certain difficulties. ”

Wang Lei asked, "What advice does Fengxiao have?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "We came from Zhuo County, which is now located to the west of Ji County. In the next suggestion, adopt the strategy of encircling three and missing one, encircle the north, west and south sides of Jixian County, and leave the east of Jixian County as a gap, so as to break the determination of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army to fight to the death. Moreover, if Gongsun Chan sent troops to attack the garrisons to the west and south, the lord could also support him at any time. ”

Surround the north, west, and south directions, and the soldiers in the city will think that they can escape from the east. With a way out, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army will not fight to the death. If they are all surrounded, the Youzhou army will see that they will not be able to escape, and they must have the intention of fighting to the death.

Wang Lei thought for a while, nodded and said, "You can take the strategy of encircling three and missing one." ”

After a while, Wang Lei commanded: "Gan Ning! ”

"The last general!"

Gan Ning stood up and replied with his fists clenched.

Wang Lei's eyes were serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You will lead five thousand soldiers and be stationed outside the north gate of Jixian County." If Youzhou's army attacks, you must drag the other party and not let the other party break through, understand? ”

Gan Ning hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely complete the task." ”

"Wen Chou!"

Wang Lei's words changed, and his eyes fell on Wen Chou.

"The last general!"

Wen Chou stood up, his eyes were sharp, and his fighting spirit was high.

Wang Lei instructed: "You will lead 5,000 soldiers and be stationed outside the city gate in the south of Jixian County." If the Youzhou army breaks through from the south gate, no matter what method is adopted, it must drag the other party. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wen Chou got the order, and immediately went with Gan Ning to dispatch troops.

The army finished arranging, and Xu You suggested: "Lord, let's try to surrender first." ”

There was a hint of expectation in Xu You's eyes. In the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Youzhou army will be defeated.

The generals of the Youzhou Army defending the city are not stupid and can understand the current situation.

Wang Lei did not refuse Xu You's suggestion, and asked the soldiers to prepare a cloth and write a surrender document. The document written by Wang Lei is very simple, with only four words: 'those who descend will not be killed'. After writing, Wang Lei called Lu Bu, handed the cloth into Lu Bu's hands, and ordered: "General Lu, shoot the surrendered cloth on the other party's city tower." ”

"No!"

Lu Bu tied the cloth to his bow and arrows, and rode out.

After a while, Lu Bu came to the city tower. His eyes were focused, he took out a bow and arrow, and shot it. Hearing a 'boom', the bow and arrow pierced the air and rushed to the castle tower.

"Duh!"

The bow and arrow were shot into the pillars of the houses on the castle tower, and the tail of the arrow shook gently.

Seeing this, Lu Bu rode his horse back.

The captain guarding the city took off his bow and arrow, quickly came to Guan Jing's side, and said respectfully: "Guan Changshi, this is the bow and arrow that the other party shot on the city tower, tied with a piece of cloth. ”

"What else can there be, it's just a document for surrender." Guan Jing flicked his sleeves and ordered, "Bring a torch." ”

The lieutenant immediately ordered the soldiers, and in a short time the burning torches were brought over.

Guan Jing took the torch, he was next to the female wall, and both hands were stretched out of the city wall. Holding a torch in one hand and a removed cloth in the other, he lit the cloth that had not yet been seen, and then let go and threw down the cloth that had been surrendered.

Arrogant and resolute!

This move shocked the generals who were in charge of defense on the city tower.

From this action, they saw Guan Jing's determination.

Obviously, this battle will be fought to the death. After Guan Jing threw down the cloth, he threw away the torch again. He took a step back, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over the county commander Lin Sheng and the main general Ji Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Lei is about to give the order to launch an attack and prepare to defend." ”

Everyone was ordered to prepare quickly.

Wang Lei was quite surprised when he saw Guan Jing's actions.

I didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.

Since this is the case, Wang Lei no longer hesitates, even if Jixian County is a strong city, it must be captured. Wang Lei's eyes were sharp, and he ordered: "Archer, prepare!" ”

In a few moments, a group of archers stepped out of the formation.

These archers were specialized battalions of eight hundred people. The soldiers in the battalion are all carefully selected elites. They approached the city, stopped twenty feet outside the city, and stood in rows.

"Ready!"

A shout suddenly sounded.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In an instant, there was a sound of breaking the air one after another.

Nearly a thousand bows and arrows were fired, as fast as a storm. The bow and arrow arced through the air and finally landed on the castle tower. Only the sound of tinkling was heard, and bows and arrows fell on the shields held by the defenders.

However, there were still soldiers who were shot by falling bows and arrows, and they died with a whimper.

Guan Jing's constant command allowed the soldiers to resist.

The defenders of the city fended off the arrows that came from the fire, and the army outside the city had already moved.

A lieutenant under Qiu Hua's command led a thousand soldiers as a vanguard army, and quickly approached the city wall with the cover of bows and arrows. When the vanguard approached, weapons such as siege vehicles, cloud vehicles, and catapults also slowly approached the city and played a role.

The war machine is running at high speed.

Wang Lei stared at the majestic city wall, with confidence and expectation in his eyes. Gongsun Chan stayed in Jixian County and did not escape, once Gongsun Chan was taken, the strength of the Gongsun clan in Youzhou would immediately collapse.

"Look, my lord, the gates of the city are open."

Suddenly, Guo Jia reminded.

Wang Lei's eyes turned and landed at the gate of the city.

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and in an instant, the weak people stumbled out. As the people came out, the sound of crying came one after another.

These people range from old and young to seventy or eighty years old, and down to children of three or five years old.

It's all old and weak, women and children!

Guan Jing stood on the city tower and saw the old and weak women and children who were kicked out of the city gate, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile. The Jizhou army is killing violently, but what will they do if they encounter the old and weak women and children in Jixian County?

Is it to ignore the lives of the elderly, weak, women and children, and directly kill a bloody road?

Or is it a rat trap and choose to retreat?

When Wang Lei encounters such a thing, he will also have a headache.

For a while, Guan Jing's heart was full of pride. One of the two orders he had given to Lin Sheng, the county commander, was to arrest the people in the city and wait for the arrival of the war.

As soon as the war began, Guan Jing sent out the 'surprise soldiers' he had prepared.
