Chapter 427: Anyi Attack and Defense (Part II)
At this time, the horse trainer, Zuo Ci, and Tong Yuan had already led Wei's Jingwei back to the city. The horse trainer looked at Zhang Liao's departing back, and his face unconsciously swelled with a little appreciation. And Tong Yuan, who had been friends with Zhang Liao for nearly fifty or sixty rounds, also nodded secretly. Only Zuo Ci stared at Zhang Liao with a dark face, and secretly said that if he caught this madman, he would be tortured in every way, so that he would know that the old man also had a temper!
The battle at the north gate is over, and then look at the battle at the south gate. Guan Yu, the guard of the South Gate, is not a rookie on the battlefield like Zhou Long. When Lu Bu's cavalry attack began, Guan Yu ordered the soldiers not to move, to prepare with strength, and when Lu Bu's infantry rushed behind, he immediately ordered the soldiers to launch rounds of arrows at the infantry army, and then ordered some soldiers to throw boulders and logs, so that Lu Bu's military horses could not approach within 100 meters of Anyi City.
Lü Bu's military horses were killed without backhand, and Lü Bu was far away in the east of the river, unable to replenish his troops, and seeing that the battle situation was not good, although he was resentful, he still ordered to retreat.
At this point, the offensive of the two teams of Lu Bu's army came to an end. Lü Bu lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, while Zhang Liao lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. After Lu Bu returned to the camp, he was angry, thinking that the time was urgent, Anyi City was impregnable and difficult to break, and Guan Yu seemed to be holding on to it. Lu Bu had no plan, so he rushed to Zhang Liao's camp and called Zhang Liao to come over to discuss.
After Zhang Liao came, he first reported today's battle situation to Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu heard that Zhang Liao almost captured the north gate, but was smashed by three old men who didn't know where to go, he gritted his teeth angrily, and shouted on the spot that if he broke through Anyi, he would definitely break the corpses of these three old immortals into ten thousand pieces.
Zhang Liao stood quietly aside, and waited for Lu Bu's anger to retreat before he opened his mouth to speak.
"According to today's battle situation, the defenders of the North Gate are mediocre and have no battlefield experience. In this way, why didn't the lord gather his soldiers and horses in one place and attack the north gate? ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said.
"No, you can't. In this way, Guan Yun Chang will definitely lead the troops to rush there, and if Yun Chang is here, the North Gate guard will definitely give up the command to him, so the North Gate will concentrate the troops, wouldn't it be more difficult to attack? ”
"The lord can make suspicious tactics. When I came here a time, I saw that there were hundreds of families in this small village, and the lord could send a few pairs of men and horses to take off the armor of the soldiers who had died today, and let them disguise themselves as soldiers. Then when the formation was set up, a thousand soldiers were in front, and the people disguised as soldiers were behind, so that Guan Yu had great skills, and for a while, it was difficult to find that most of the lord's soldiers and horses were puppet soldiers.
And I will lead the army and storm the north gate, as long as the lord can buy me three hours, the north gate will be breached!! ”
Lu Bu's face was calm, and at the same time, he also remembered in his mind that before he came, Chen Gong had repeatedly told him to listen to Zhang Liao's words. After a while, Lu Bu seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Zhang Liao.
"Good! Just follow Wenyuan's plan! If Wen Yuan can break through Anyi this time, I will have a heavy reward! ”
Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu could listen to his plan, and his face was also relieved. Since Chen Gong came, Lu Bu is no longer as rigid and self-serving, he does everything he wants, and he insists on doing his own thing, and gradually he will listen to the opinions of others. Of course, most of them are from Chen Gong. Maybe Lu Bu has also grown up slowly, and now he is a prince, not like in the past, he is not subservient to others, and now the direction of the entire power is determined by him.
"My lord, I not only have the grace of knowing Zhang Wenyuan, but also cultivated me many times and taught martial arts. Such a great favor, I, Zhang Wenyuan, will not be able to repay one of them if I die. I, Zhang Wenyuan, don't covet wealth, fame and fortune, I just want to be the blade of the lord and cut through thorns and thorns for the lord!! ”
Zhang Liao arched his fists heavily, his face was firm and unpretentious, and Lu Bu was extremely moved when he saw Zhang Liao so loyal.
"Wenyuan!! If he succeeds in the future, I will not treat you badly!! ”
Lu Bu slapped Zhang Liao on the shoulder and promised Zhang Liao. Both of them are iron-blooded men, they don't talk much, and they understand it in their hearts. Later, after the two talked about the details of the strategy, Zhang Liao left.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Zhang Liao led 5,000 soldiers from Lü Bu's camp and secretly left the small village, and Lü Bu began to prepare a plan for the suspicious army.
Lu Bu's two armies in the north and south outside Anyi City did not move for two days, which made Zhou Long overjoyed, and thought that Lu Bu could not capture Anyi City and was ready to withdraw his troops. Guan Yu didn't think so, he said that Lu Bu risked attacking Anyi, and he would never withdraw his troops so aggressively.
Guan Yu not only did not relax, but also strengthened the defense forces in the city.
Lu Bujun's strange silence finally broke two days later. There was a lot of fog that day, and it was a misty patch at a glance. Lü Bu and Zhang Liao successively led troops to attack.
At the south gate, Lu Bu led the army to stop thousands of kilometers away from Anyi City, and set up a formation, with 1,000 soldiers in front and thousands of soldiers behind, all disguised by the villagers of the small village.
Guan Yu squinted at Danfeng's eyes, secretly looked at Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in the mist, and saw that the soldiers and horses under his command were in a messy formation, and secretly became a little suspicious.
At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly galloped on his horse, rushed to five hundred meters below the city, picked up his bow and arrows and shot at the banner on the city that read 'Hedong Guan Yunchang'.
The arrows flew out like lightning sparks, and the speed was amazing, and when the soldiers in the city reacted, they only heard a snap, and the flag fell in response. The huge banner fell like a towering tree, startling the surrounding Hedong soldiers to scatter.
Thundered~!
The loud noise when the flag fell to the ground made many Hedong soldiers feel their hearts beating, and when they saw Lu Bu taking the bow and aiming the arrow again, many people suddenly panicked.
"Guan Yunchang, you gutless rat, have you been scared out of your courage by me Lu Fengxian. If that's the case, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy!! ”
Guan Yu's banner was shot down, and he was provoked by Lu Bu's speech. Guan Yu's face was still calm, unhappy or angry, and shouted coldly at Lu Bu under the city.
"I, Guan Yun, stand tall in the world, upright in heart and body, and fearless. It's not like you, Lu Fengxian, who was treacherous, killed his father and killed his father, and was spurned by the world. If you open your eyes, you will be accepted sooner or later!! ”
"You!! Wow wow wow!! ”
Lu Bu was so angry that he was furious, pulled his bowstring full, and shot another arrow, which pierced the void and shot straight at Guan Yu's face. Guan Yu picked up the arrow shot at the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and split the arrow into two with a knife. Lu Bu shot five or six arrows in a row, all of which were cut by Guan Yu with a knife.
After ejaculating for a while, Lu Bu also temporarily stopped his hand, his eyes were cold, and he secretly slandered.
"Guan Yunchang, I'll let you be arrogant for a while! As long as I hold you back, when Wen Yuan breaks through the city gate, it will be the moment when you die!
And on the other side, the north gate of Anyi City.
Zhang Liao's army was shrouded in fog, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses, under the command of Zhang Liao, a team of soldiers rushed to the north gate city frantically.
Zhou Long saw that the number of soldiers attacking this time was increasing, and the number of troops brought by Zhang Liao was far more than double that of the last time, so he panicked again and shouted to Tong Yuan beside him for help.
"Tong Gong, the number of enemy troops is more than 10,000, where did Zhang Liao find so many soldiers and horses, do they still have reinforcements! However, according to the report of the spies, they saw that Lu Bu's two troops and horses attacked Anyi. If another army comes in, the spies will definitely return. And the speed at which they came couldn't be so fast! ”
At this time, Tong Yuan's face was also dark and solemn, according to the development of the situation in front of him, Zhang Liao had so many troops, he was afraid that it would be difficult to hold on to the north gate for a long time.
Tong Yuan's mind was racing, thinking about various possibilities, and suddenly he seemed to have caught something, and his face changed and he scolded.
"Could it be that this Zhang Liao is a force drawn from Lu Bu's side!?"
Thinking about it, Tong Yuan immediately asked Zhou Long.
"Master Zhou, has Yun Chang sent someone to send news?"
Zhou Long was stunned, he didn't know why Tong Yuan suddenly asked Guan Yu, and after thinking about it, he thought that Tong Yuan wanted to transfer soldiers and horses from Guan Yu.
"Tong Gong, the second brother is fighting fiercely with Lu Bu at this time, and the pressure on the south gate is also huge, and there is no spare force to be transferred to the north gate!"
"Definitely! Zhou Zhubo, you misunderstood the old man's meaning. It is impossible for Zhang Liao to have so many extra soldiers and horses out of thin air, and the old man is most likely drawn from Lu Bu's side! ”
"Ahh If this is the case, the second brother will definitely send troops and horses to help the north gate! However, there is no movement at the south gate! ”
"Although the old man doesn't know what ghost tricks Lu Bu and Zhang Liao have used to hide from the world, there must be a strategy in this. When the Lord Bo is next week, you should immediately send a herald to quickly whip up the horse and inform the cloud chief. ”
Under Tong Yuan's guidance, the urgency on Zhou Long's face faded a little. Although Zhou Long is mediocre in talent, he can listen to people's words. After Zhou Long nodded heavily to Tong Yuan, he immediately summoned a herald, and after quickly delivering a few words, the herald hurriedly rushed down the city and rode to the south gate.
At this time, Zhang Liao's army had attacked the north gate for nearly an hour and a half, and many soldiers had rushed to the city gate and slammed the city gate with wooden stakes. The defenders of the city were all frantic, as if they were suckling hard to throw rocks and logs down the city, or to shoot arrows at the enemy to stop them. However, Zhang Liao's men and horses were too many, and his soldiers were infected by his bravery under Zhang Liao's leading charge, and all of them were like being beaten with chicken blood, brave the rain of arrows, rolling stones, and logs, and rushed straight to the city gate. Looking at this situation, if the defenders in the city have no other means to deal with it, or if there are reinforcements to rescue, I am afraid that it will not be long before Zhang Liao's troops and horses will break through the north gate.
Go back to the South Gate. Guan Yu narrowed his Danfeng eyes again, this Lu Bu had been scolding under the city for an hour and a half, if according to his fiery temperament, he was repeatedly provoked and insulted by himself, and he would have attacked with an army. But Lu Bu changed his normal state, only scolded and did not attack, and there must be a conspiracy when things go wrong.
"Guan Yunchang, you shrunken king, will only play some third-rate tricks to seduce other people's wives who have not passed through the door. What face do you have in this world? If you are still a man, you will go down to the city to fight with me Lu Fengxian!! ”
Lu Bu seemed to vent all his anger by scolding, scolding for a full hour and a half, and still scolding, and every sentence of the scolding was not repeated. Guan Yu frowned, and suddenly set his eyes on the soldiers and horses behind Lu Bu, at this time, the fog dispersed a lot, and Guan Yu could see more clearly the messy formation of these soldiers.
Guan Yu's expression froze, called Zhou Cang over, and after whispering a few words in his ear, Zhou Cang nodded cautiously, and immediately pulled out the scud leg to inform the hundred generals of the troops at the head of the city.
After all the soldiers were ready, after a while, a strong wind blew just in time. Suddenly, Guan Yu's gesture fell, and at the same time, he drank a shot word in his mouth without warning. Thousands of arrows flew out with the strong wind, galloping towards the soldiers and horses behind Lu Bu.
However, this army of soldiers and horses was a kilometer away from the city gate, and although there was a strong wind, the arrow tide formed by these thousands of arrows only shot far away about five or six hundred meters.
But the sound of thousands of arrows roaring in the void, and the terrifying formation, were enough to startle many people in the Lu army who were disguised as soldiers, and they couldn't help but cry out, and they retreated wildly. In this way, Lu Jun's formation is even more messy.
When Lu Bu saw that Guan Yu suddenly ordered the defenders in the city to shoot, he was still secretly laughing that Guan Yu was mad at him, so he indiscriminately ordered the defenders in the city to shoot. It can be seen that his soldiers and horses are thousands of kilometers away from the city gate, and this shot can't reach half a point of his soldiers and horses! It's just that what Lu Bu didn't expect was that the people he found who were disguised as soldiers would be so timid, and they were so frightened that the formation was in chaos, and they hurriedly rode their horses and rushed back, shouting again and again to stop the chaos.
Guan Yu's eyes had been staring at Lu Bu's troops and horses, and when he saw that most of the soldiers in his formation had no common sense of the battlefield, they were frightened by the attack of this wave of arrows, and immediately understood that most of them must not be battle-hardened soldiers, and even rookies who had just joined the army could not compare.
At this moment, the herald who came from the north gate hurriedly ran over and quickly said a few words in Guan Yu's ear. The more Guan Yu listened to Dan Feng's eyes, the more fierce he became, and finally sneered.
