A few days later, Xu Jin led the company army to Yongzhou City, and at the same time, the allied forces of the four countries also converged again, began to follow the route of the company's retreat, and also began to march towards Yongzhou, and surrounded the company army in a situation of encirclement and annihilation.

The whole battle situation has been very clear, and now Xu Jin, there is not much time left, either to capture Yongzhou in one go, or to be surrounded and suppressed outside the city!

At this time, Kang He had already returned to Yongzhou, and now, he was standing at the head of the city with Nie Ying, looking at the overwhelming Lian army outside the city, Kang He said: "Childe, we only need to hold Yongzhou for three days, then the Lian army will be defeated!" I wonder if Childe can have faith? ”

"Sir, rest assured! This son has 200,000 horses in his hands, and there is an old thief like King Lian as a hostage, and if Lian Jun wants to break the city within three days, it is impossible! "Although Nie Ying is messing up the palace, when it comes to defending the city and fighting, as the son of Nie Heng, he still has absolute confidence!

As he spoke, he pointed to the company army outside the city and said: "Sir, you see, although the company army has a large number of troops, but in front of its formation, there are no large siege equipment such as stone throwers and siege vehicles. ”

His words are not wrong, the company army set up a defense line in front of Yongzhou before, built a barrier and defended it, not a siege, so it did not bring a large baggage, and the ladder in the army was not much.

On the side of the Lian army, after setting up the formation, Xu Jin said to the crown prince Wu Zhen: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the sentinels left in the rear of our army have sent back the news, saying that the army of the four countries has begun to march towards Yongzhou, and there is not much time left for us, our army must break through Yongzhou within three days, otherwise, we will suffer from the enemy!" ”

When Wu Zhen heard this, he immediately couldn't wait to say, "Then what are you waiting for!?" Hurry up and give the order to attack the city! ”

"No!" Xu Jin responded with a fist, just about to pass down the military order, but at this time, there was a sudden change in the city.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, look! It's Your Majesty! Xu Jin exclaimed.

"Huh!?" When Wu Zhen heard this, he hurriedly took a closer look, although it was far away, he could still see that at this time, when the city was closed, a person wearing a dragon robe and a cloak was escorted up.

At the same time, Nie Ying also pressed on King Lian's shoulder with one hand and a spear in the other, shouting at the city: "Lianjun thieves! Keep your dog's eyes open and see who this is!? ”

Ah! Hearing this, Wu Zhen's eyes were cracked, he was on top of the war horse, stretched out his hand and pointed at Nie Ying, and roared loudly: "Nie Ying! You dog thief! This prince has vowed to tear you to pieces—"

"Hahahaha-" Nie Ying looked up and smiled, and said, "Wu Zhen! Now your father is here! Don't hurry up and get your men to lay down their arms! Otherwise, the life of the old thief will not be saved! ”

"You!" Wu Zhen was furious, but he had no choice, now that the king was in the hands of the other party, and he couldn't really make the army put down his weapons.

And King Lian, who was wearing a cloak, suddenly shouted at this time: "Zhen'er! Leave your father alone! Hurry up and siege the city! ”

"Father-" Hearing his father's voice, Wu Zhen shouted loudly and sadly.

"Zhen'er! What are you waiting for!? Hurry up and give the order to siege the city! Otherwise, my father won't forgive you for being a ghost! Even the king continued to shout.

As he spoke, he shouted at Xu Jin again: "Xu Jin! You are the general of my company! Be sure to be a good student and assist Zhen'er—"

It's just that before he finished his words, Nie Ying, who was annoyed and angry, had already slapped him hard and slapped him back.

"Siege! Storm the city—"

Even the king was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, but he was still shouting frantically, the king of a country, now he was humiliated like this, and he was slapped in front of the whole army, not to mention that the king himself was humiliated, it was Wu Zhen, who also screamed, and shouted with bloodshot eyes:

"Siege—"

With his order, the company army order flag waved, and the soldiers up and down set off together!

"Humph! You old thief, you don't know whether to live or die! Ben Gongzi underestimated you! Nie Ying scolded angrily, then pushed King Lian to the ground, and scolded: "Escort him down!" ”

After he was escorted away, starting the company army that had begun to attack the city, Nie Ying was not in a hurry, waved his hand and said, "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

With his words, the young people in the city have taken their bows and arrows, these bows and crossbows are all built by the Ordnance Department of the Lian State, and the bows and arrows of the Lian Army are the same, and the Yongzhou Chengguan, because the four countries are about to approach the Liandu, so the city defense here has already been arranged perfectly, what stone giant trees, it has already been prepared sufficiently, Nie Ying can be said to be just using local materials, effortlessly.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Nie Ying waved his hand, and countless arrows began to shoot down like a drizzle, and Zhang Ren was young and strong, they used to be farmers, and they had no military training at all, but this kind of thing about throwing bows and arrows would be done by a person, and such a scale of siege did not need any accuracy at all, as long as the arrows were shot out, and in a group of two or several people, lifting the logs and boulders and throwing them down, it was even simpler, which is why Nie Ying said that he had the confidence to hold on for three days! Because the defense of Yongzhou is too perfect!

The city is throwing bows and arrows down, and the company troops below are well-trained, with heavy shields in the front row to withstand the rain of arrows, and the soldiers in the back are beginning to shoot back at the city pass.

When the rain of arrows on both sides shuttled back and forth, after a short time, even the sergeants set up ladders on the city wall one by one and began to climb up.

Nie Ying personally commanded at the head of the city, holding a spear, walking back and forth on the city, and from time to time ordered his subordinates to throw boulders and rolling logs.

It's not that the Lian army can't break through Yongzhou, but on the side of the Lian army, there is not a single large-scale siege machine, not even a siege vehicle, so Nie Ying's defense of the city is actually not much difficult, just hold the dozen or so ladders!

And when the company army launched an attack on Yongzhou, the allied forces of the four countries were less than fifty miles away from Yongzhou.

After a whole day of marching, the allied army temporarily rested, in the makeshift tent of the Chinese army, the four kings gathered, and the Qingwang took the lead in speaking: "Now, the Lian army has begun to attack Yongzhou, and Nie Ying's department said that there are 200,000 people, but this king is always a little worried, they can't hold it for three days." ”

Lu Chen said: "Brother Qingwang is extremely worried, if the Lian army is allowed to enter the city, it will not be so easy for our side to capture Yongzhou again, so this king intends to step up the encirclement of the Lian army." ”

Zhao Jin sneered: "I want to ask the ranks, what kind of son of Nie Heng, if he really held Yongzhou and annihilated the Lian army with our side, would he really want to give him any four counties?" ”

Seeing that he suddenly said this, Lu Chen chuckled, looked at Zhao Jin, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Yan Wang, what do you say?" ”
