Ji Ling kept yelling and commanding the Shouchun army to defend, in such a small space, the battle must not be rushed, to be flexible, to achieve victory with local advantages, so each battlement is the best choice for a maximum of one person to defend, more but they lost the space to play, and five or six people, seven or eight people are different, in a limited space, can squeeze the space of the Xuzhou army to the greatest extent, and then defeat the opponent through effective cooperation.

But the combat in Wu and Shi units is completely unfamiliar to these Shouchun Army, who have not joined the army for a long time, so he can only continue to correct them through roaring, and it is precisely because Ji Ling can remind them at close range, so the original precarious situation has been completely reversed in an instant, and as Shouchun Army is more and more familiar with this way of fighting, in the later stage, Ji Ling has rarely yelled anymore, and it is enough to leave it to them completely, and in an instant, the top of Lujiang City Tower instantly becomes relaxed, Mo said that the Shouchun army and the Lujiang defenders had a chance to breathe and rest, and even Ji Ling and Liu Xun were not as desperate as Fang Cai to defend, but they could easily command, but in the blink of an eye, the Xuzhou army that attacked was killed cleanly, and no one climbed the city tower after that.

"Amazing, amazing, I really underestimated this Liu Xun!"

Zhang Jaw is full of confidence in the wheel war, so he has been consuming them all the time, and sooner or later he will capture Lujiang, but his plan now seems to have completely come to naught, which made Zhang Jaw laugh dryly, and said the above words, and Zhang Liao, who was next to him, shook his head silently: "It seems that this is the case today, or let the troops rest first, and then attack the city tomorrow?" ”

"No, keep attacking, I'll see how long they can hold out!" Zhang Jaw was able to maintain a normal mind before, but now he is really angry, and the anger makes him lose his due reason and go completely crazy, no matter Zhang Liao's persuasion, there is only one thing in his eyes at this moment, that is, no matter what, he must let Shou Chunjun know how powerful they are, and it is not so important to take Lujiang.

Zhang Jaw is now completely fighting with Liu Xun, Zhang Liao looked at him like this, very helpless, maybe at this moment he finally understood the lord's explanation to him, in the setting up of the three major capital protectorates, namely Zhang Jaw stationed in Xuwu, Tai Shici stationed in Xuyi County, Zhang Liao stationed in Shouchun at the same time, Liu Lan also had an idea is to establish the Shouchun Governor's Mansion, with Zhang Liao as the Shouchun Governor and Shouchun Governor to govern the other two, the specific location Liu Lan has not yet made a final decision between Hefei and Shouchun, Because he didn't know what Shouchun City would become after the first battle.

He didn't particularly understand at the time, why Liu Lan would give himself such a heavy responsibility, after all, with his qualifications, whether it is worse than Zhang Jaw or Tai Shi Ci, it is too much worse, and the normal situation should be Zhang Jaw as the governor, and the two of them are the deputy governors, and now let him be the governor, Zhang Liao is really difficult to compete, of course, it is not that he does not have the ability, but he knows that it is difficult to convince the public now, not to mention the soldiers under the account, a Zhang Jaw and Tai Shi Ci, may make it difficult for him to move an inch.

Therefore, he did not accept Liu Lan's appointment, and Liu Lan also postponed this idea, and decided according to the specific situation after the Battle of Shouchun was over, and then announced the decision to only establish the three major protectors, but he may now understand why Liu Lan made such a decision.

He knew best what his habits were like for the generals under his tent, and his appointment of the generals was also well thought out, and it was impossible for him to suddenly come up with the decision to appoint himself as the governor of the capital in a hot mind.

So Liu Lan must have made the final decision after a comprehensive comparison between the three of them, but he didn't give an order directly, but first came to ask for his opinion, which is also his high emotional intelligence, he needs to listen to Zhang Liao's own opinion, after all, such a position is no different from a swinging potato, his appointment is trust, but it also pushes him to the fire pit, which Liu Lan will not understand, but this is just like Cao Cao's appointment of Zhang Liao to guard Shouchun, Is it because he knows that he has a bad relationship with Li Dian and others and does not appoint, is it because he knows that Zhang Liao's qualifications are shallow, after appointing him, Zhang Liao and others will definitely not be convinced?

Liu Lan has to think about the whole situation, and he will not change his plan because a certain person is happy and dissatisfied, but if the parties do not have the courage, then it is difficult for Liu Lan to give orders, it is difficult for strong people, and even he has no confidence in himself, so why bother to embarrass him?

It's just that Zhang Liao didn't dare at that time, but now he understands Liu Lan's good intentions, because he discovered the weakness of Zhang Jaw's impulsiveness and irritability, perhaps it is precisely because of this that Liu Lan does not consider him, and Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Liao does not know the reason why Liu Lan did not choose him, after all, the contact with him is not as close as the current contact with Zhang Jaw, and he can have a deep understanding of him.

Looking at Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao really had no way at all, he could only keep thinking about how to recover the loss as much as possible, this was the only thing he could do now, but there was no meaning, he watched the troops go up in waves, down in waves, up to 5,000 people, and come back 4,000 people, among which many people were seriously injured.

Tragic battles, every time the city is attacked, under normal circumstances, the casualties and losses of hundreds of people are actually very large, but now there are thousands of casualties, this is simply sending troops to death, Zhang Liao finally couldn't help it, he went to stop Zhang Jaw, but Zhang Jaw, who was already angry, didn't care about his obstruction, so many people died, if you don't take Lujiang, you can't explain it to the top and bottom!

"So many people have died, and there is no sign of the city being broken, continue to attack like this, and there are still troops to attack the city?!" Zhang Liao was also angry, and said with a red face.

"When my troops are exhausted, I will transfer your troops from the Wet Whisker Dock, I don't believe it, the small Lujiang City can block the attack of my Xuzhou army!"

"Even if I agree, do you think the Lord Guild will agree at that time? General Zhang, what you need now is to be calm, not just thinking about capturing Lujiang! ”

Zhang Jaw was about to roar again, but he calmed down instantly, Liu Lan's name was like a basin of cold water, which suddenly made him fall into the ice cellar in an instant under the scorching sun, and his flushed complexion instantly changed to an ugly iron blue.

He closed his eyes and waved his hand weakly: "Okay, after this wave of attacks, let's stop for the time being!" ”

At the same time that Zhang Jaw decided to suspend the army, the Xuzhou army once again killed Lujiang City, this time it was Zhang Jaw's last chance, the last fight, success or failure, looking forward to it, the Xuzhou army that had not attacked the Lujiang City Tower for a long time, under Zhang Jaw's eager gaze, actually killed the city tower again.

And the Shouchun army did not show weakness, when they killed the moment, in an instant, a team of six or seven Shouchun soldiers held swords, guns and spears or close or straight stabs, towards the Xuzhou army to kill the past, and soon the Xuzhou army and the Lujiang defenders who killed up fought fiercely.

The battle was fierce, the Shouchun army here cut off one of the arms of the Xuzhou army, and the Xuzhou army Pu Dao directly killed a defender, and the stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and the flesh and blood could fly everywhere.

The odds of resting for a long time have not been on the front line for a long time, and his hands have long been itchy, seeing that the Xuzhou army actually killed again, he jumped up from the ground, roared with a three-pointed two-edged knife, and killed again, no one in the Xuzhou army could survive a round under his hands, slashing and slashing wildly, but this time, he felt that the Xuzhou army seemed to be inexhaustible, killing one and one after another, killing a pair and coming up again.

This kind of battle made his physical strength pass quickly, and at the moment when he could no longer support it, he suddenly found that the Xuzhou army had retreated, and the time at this moment was just the time, so early to retreat, was the Xuzhou army afraid?

He laughed, this battle was really painful, they hadn't had such a victory against the Xuzhou army for a long time, but it was precisely because of this result that he completely believed in his previous attitude, that is, to deal with the Xuzhou army, it was by no means a head-on battle to go out of the city and set up a formation, but to defend the city, or a battle with the help of terrain advantages, the first time he repelled Zhang Jaw was the latter, and the only time Zhang Xun had a draw with Guan Yu was to defend the city, other than that, they were all defeated.

When he said such an observation in front of Liu Xun and Yuan Lian, the palms of the two people who were celebrating in the council hall holding the wine bottle paused, because his statement seemed to be really like that, didn't the Xuzhou army have nothing to do with them when they attacked the city? If they combined Zhang Xun against Guan Yu, maybe they really had a chance to defeat Zhang Jaw, the worst of all, it was also a draw, anyway, there was nothing to do about it.

"General Ji is right, your reminder makes me believe even more that the two generals are guarding the Lujiang River." After today's battle, Yuan Jian arrived at the Beicheng Tower, where the fierce battle was the most fierce, and what he saw was that in addition to the mottled city tower, the corpses everywhere were being burned under the care of the young and strong, so as not to cause the plague.

Such a scene shocked him, but such a heavy price also made him begin to lose confidence in holding Lujiang, although he was drinking and talking happily at the moment, but he was very worried, but seeing the two of them smiling, and hearing the words after that, especially after Liu Xun said the battlefield situation after the Shouchun Army joined the battle, he knew that Lujiang would definitely not be in any danger, and he and the people in the city were safe.

And as long as the Lujiang River is safe, then Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao will not attack Shouchun, and if they have been dragging on the Lujiang River, as long as the peach blossom flood passes, the terrible flood will not happen, I believe that once Ji Ling demolishes all the new water conservancy irrigation settings in Shouchun, it will be a disaster, too terrible.

The laughter of the two was so hearty, Yuan Jian felt that the taste of the wine was more mellow when he heard it, happy, proud, no one was happier than him at the moment, but it was not such a taste for open jaws, his anger needed to be vented, but now he could only say a word to Lu Jiang behind him to see how long you can be arrogant.

The generals came back one after another, and they were all unwilling, and they came to Zhangjaw's camp one after another, and said, "General, just give up?" Please give the last general another chance, this time the last general will definitely take Lujiang, if you can't take it, the last general is willing to come back to see you with his head! ”

"Praise stop the attack today, and after Wen Yuan and I have a long-term discussion, we will make plans and retreat."

Zhang Jaw impatiently persuaded them to retreat, then looked at Zhang Liao, and said: "Wen Yuan, where are your troops in Mixuwu now, gather them all over, our current forces, it is too difficult to storm Lujiang." ”

"General, have you forgotten what you said before, there are 20,000 defenders of Lujiang, if our army wants to attack, without 100,000 troops, it is impossible to take Lujiang, even if my infantry comes to support now, but it has not reached a five-fold advantage, and the possibility of taking Lujiang is too small." Zhang Liao didn't agree, but he didn't refuse, he just gave him the facts, he had to let Zhang Jaw change his mind now, don't be entangled in the matter of attacking Lujiang, there are other ways to attack the city in addition to the storm.

"If you don't attack, will you be waiting for Liu Xun's home team to open the city and beg to surrender?" Zhang Jaw said unhappily.

"It's impossible to let his home team open the city and beg to surrender, but since ancient times, the way to siege the city has been in addition to strong sieges and surprise attacks, of course, more means are to combine the inside and the outside, after all, the stronger the fortress, the more often it is broken from the inside." The open jaw guides the open jaw little by little.

"The fortress was breached from within?" This sentence is very familiar, because the first time he heard these words was from the mouth of the lord Liu Lan, and this also made his thoughts continue to jump rapidly, if Liu Xun and Ji Ling should be dealt with from the inside out, then what method can be used to succeed? Zhang Jaw thought about it, but he didn't have a chance, he waved his hand helplessly, and said disheartenedly: "I don't know if Wen Yuan has any good ideas, I'm at a loss now." ”

"If you want to cooperate with the outside, we must first ensure that there are our people in Lujiang, under normal circumstances, if you want to attack a city, you will send scouts to pretend to be people to blend into the city before, waiting for the opportunity, but we have already taken measures to such an opportunity, so unless there are our people in Lujiang City now, it is too difficult to want to cooperate with the outside."

"Our people?" Zhang Jaw shook his head, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of a mysterious force: "Do you say that the internal guard has any power in Lujiang?" ”

"Except for Chen Guo, this may only be known to the military advisor, and the others may also have the lord?" Zhang Liao looked at him, at this time, maybe the master of the book, even if this matter does not work, it may be good to listen to his advice.

"Okay, then it's decided, you and I will jointly pass the book."
