Early the next morning, Liu Xun, who was still asleep, woke up from his sleep, listened to the sound of the golden drum, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"The Xuzhou army has attacked the city!"

"What!" Liu Xun did it instantly, if he was still half-asleep just now, then now he is completely awake.

Liu Xun wore armor while listening to the report of the soldiers, now the Xuzhou army is mainly attacking the city in three directions, east and west, and although they are attacking the city on three sides, the offensive of the east and west gates is not strong, the main attack point is the north gate, and the battle here is the most tragic.

Limited by the lack of strength of the Lujiang defenders, Liu Xun only arranged 2,000 people at each city gate, as for Ji Ling's 10,000 defeated troops, he did not use them, he really had no confidence in them, not to mention the weak combat effectiveness, and the morale was still low, he was really afraid that once they joined the garrison of the city, it would affect the Lujiang defenders.

Liu Xun rushed to the north gate as fast as possible, although the Lujiang army was already very defense, but under the fierce fire of the Xuzhou army, they could hardly even raise their heads, let alone counterattack, in such a situation, how could they carry out an effective counterattack?

Seeing such a passive situation, he didn't bother to shout at the stupid command of the captain of the city gate, and shouted: "What about the shield soldiers, set up the giant shield for me, crossbowmen, and counterattack!" ”

Under Liu Xun's command, the almost one-sided battle was finally reversed by him, and the offensive of the Xuzhou army, which had previously occupied an overwhelming advantage, was effectively contained. The enemy's offensive in the direction of the north gate was contained, and the Xuzhou troops who were filling the moat under the city gate were unlucky, Liu Xun used almost all the belongings of the Lujiang River, and said that he would give the Xuzhou army a good look.

Looking at the Xuzhou army under the north gate tower constantly filling the moat by the dense arrow rain shot by the Lujiang defenders above the city tower and even the bed crossbow and other city defense equipment, Zhang Jaw's face changed slightly, although this result is not unexpected, but such a passive beating situation has not been encountered in these years, in the past, the Xuzhou army relied on the advantage of archers to suppress the opponent, but now it is being dealt with and suppressed, which makes him have to make changes, although the current method can fill the moat sooner or later, But the casualty figure must be very large, and if other methods are used, then there is only one possibility at the moment, he instantly looked at Zhang Liao, can the team that fill the moat better than the cavalry at this time?

Zhang Jaw found Zhang Liao and got his support, and then ordered all the infantry units that filled the moat to be filled with gravel instead, and small bags of gravel were loaded, so that the cavalry not only had no effect on holding it in their hands, but it was convenient for them to move quickly and flexibly, and when it was suitable for the moat, they directly threw the cloth bags containing gravel into the moat.

If it's just a sandbag, it may not make much sense, but if more than 3,000 people throw it in a row, the effect is quite amazing.

"What's going on now?"

At this time, Ji Ling finally appeared, he quickly came to Liu Xun's side and asked.

"No, see for yourself." Liu Xunnu pointed to the bottom of the city tower, he has no way at all now, and the wolf rides back and forth like the wind, even if he wants to hit it, it is impossible at all, he can only watch them fill in the moat little by little.

"Although the moat of the Lujiang River is wide and deep, it can't withstand such landfilling, so we have to find a way." What Ji Ling said was in vain, because Liu Xun had thought of everything he could think of, but how to counteract was the key, you can't attack it, people want you to do it.

Ji Ling also had a brainless face, and glanced at the direction of the enemy's red banner, the enemy general Zhang Jaw or even Zhang Liao must be there now, if he really wants to kill it, it is better to deal with the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou than to go straight to the tiger's den, capture the thief and capture the king, but looking at the rows of Xuzhou soldiers in front of the Chinese army, the crowd is surging, and he has given up this unrealistic idea. It is impossible for Liu Xun's troops to go out of the city to fight, and it is even more impossible to expect the defeat of the 10,000 remnants of the army he brought back, so this idea can only be done.

Looking at the moat that was constantly being filled, Ji Ling kept asking himself, what should I do, such a cry is not the voice of Liu Xun's heart, the two helpless people are constantly thinking of various ways to resolve the crisis in front of them.

But now they can only watch the moat being filled, watch the Xuzhou army erect a ladder in Lujiang, watch the car start to hit the city gate, watch the Xuzhou army climb up the ladder, everything is going towards the most favorable side of the Xuzhou army, and then it will be a real hand-to-hand combat, and once it enters hand-to-hand combat, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Lujiang defenders, it is impossible to resist the Xuzhou army at all, although he made a lot of nonsense before, but he understands what the meaning of those words is, and now he really has to fight with the Xuzhou army, He was really scared.

Liu Xun didn't have to think about the result at all, and he didn't even dare to think about the result at all, because the result was already very obvious, as for Ji Ling's bold words yesterday, the soldiers might believe it, but he was such a realistic person, it was too difficult to believe, it was so easy to hold Lujiang, and even he was afraid that the Xuzhou army would defeat Lujiang in one go!

Although the Lujiang garrison was brought out by him, there are very few people among them who have really had combat experience.

Liu Xun looked up to the sky and sighed.

His sigh happened to be seen by Ji Ling, his performance has said everything, now that he is so passive, maybe he himself understands the horror of the enemy army, Ji Ling has more and more ominous premonitions, maybe he shouldn't have believed Liu Xun from the beginning.

"Liu Taishou, now is not the time to give up, no matter what, we must first retreat this wave of attack of the Xuzhou army, right?" His meaning is obvious, no matter whether you have begun to think about 'evacuating' now, but if you want to evacuate, you have to repel the Xuzhou army first, otherwise it will be so easy to evacuate.

"Not bad." It is useless for Liu Xun to say anything and think about anything, only after repelling the Xuzhou army, can the next thing be considered.

Soon after Liu Xun made the order to hold on, the Xuzhou army began to attack the north gate of the Lujiang River, and Liu Xun, who was neatly draped, drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, join me to kill the Xuzhou army!" ”

The rain of arrows upstairs and downstairs is as dense as flying locusts, and the two sides come and go, especially under the command of Liu Xun, the stone rolling wood greets the Xuzhou army who climbed up the ladder, but this still can't stop the pace of the Xuzhou army's advance, but when the enemy continues to climb up, only to hear a snort, a pot of pot was splashed down by boiling hot oil, and the Xuzhou army immediately fell off the ladder, and the wail went straight to the sky, which made people's scalp numb when they listened, not to mention how mad it was.

The Lujiang army resisted the attack of the Xuzhou army by all means, but their efforts did not make the Lujiang safe, and the Xuzhou army finally climbed the city ladder. A pair of Xuzhou soldiers poured into the north city tower like a tide, and the moment they climbed the city tower, they began to roar and shout wildly, and killed the defenders around them.

Rui quickly attacked the city tower, which really made Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao not expect, to put it bluntly, the two of them never thought that they could achieve such brilliant achievements today, and directly took Lujiang, to put it bluntly, today's attack is tentative, take a look at the extent of Lujiang's defense, and it turned out that they seem to overestimate Lujiang's city defense, so easy, it was only the first round of attack, and they successfully climbed the city tower.

However, ascending the city tower, is not the same as taking the city tower, soon the Xuzhou army that attacked the city tower was all wiped out, and the first wave of attack also failed to declare Gao, the troops retreated, at this time Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao can be regarded as a real understanding of what the city defense of Lujiang is, although it cannot be said to be impregnable, but at least know that it is much weaker than imagined, and it can be completely captured.

This is today's harvest, Zhang Jaw is already very satisfied, but Zhang Liao is still a little unfinished, today's battle can't end like this, and then organize a wave of attacks, he feels that the battle is too disappointing to end like this, maybe in his heart, the Lujiang army can repel the attack of the Xuzhou army, it is a fluke, only after the second attack, can we really see how their strength is, and now if you don't try, you will miss the opportunity.

Zhang Jaw was persuaded and gave the order for the second wave of attack, and in the second wave of attack, Zhang Jaw Ke increased his strength, and the offensive was very fierce.

Crossbowmen, continue to press violently, shoot, shoot! Zhang Jaw even went to the front line to command, and Liu Xun and Ji Ling, who were almost exactly the same as him, were also on the front line, although Ji Ling very much hoped that his troops could come over to help, but in the end Liu Xun refused, and now his troops can still deal with it, if there is really a need, it will not be too late at that time, after he finished speaking, he yelled at the defenders of Lujiang: "Brothers, push down the Xuzhou ladder that was hung up for me!" ”

"Where's the oil? Don't stop, burn quickly, bed crossbow, bed crossbow, what are you doing grinding and rubbing, shoot hard for Lao Tzu! Liu Xun is undoubtedly the busiest person above the city tower now, constantly shouting and giving all kinds of orders, not to mention that under his command, it really made the Xuzhou army's fierce offensive not advance an inch, and even the city tower did not come up.

However, Liu Xun also paid a lot of price, for example, he is now roaring so much that his throat is about to smoke, but what is all this compared to the effect achieved?

The result of the battlefield made Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao a little unable to sit still this time, and the illusion of the first round made them think that Lujiang could be easily won, but now it seems that it is not so easy, and even very difficult.

"What to do? Will Mingjin withdraw his troops for the time being, or will he continue to attack? ”

Zhang Jaw glanced at Zhang Liao and said.

"Attack! We must try to find out the matter of Lujiang, and only when we have determined their defensive strength can we fully prepare for battle, otherwise we will not be able to fight this battle. "Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao now have the same doubt, that is, which of the Lujiang Army's defense strength is true and which one is false.

Is the first round of the vulnerable one true, or the second round is solid, if it is the first round, then this battle will be easy, if the first round is just that the Lujiang defenders are not ready, in fact, their combat ability is what it is now, then it is very difficult to take Lujiang.

In terms of their current ability to fight, not to mention that they now have 50,000 people, even if there are 50,000 more, it will be very difficult to storm Lujiang.

"Attack, keep attacking!"

Originally, Zhang Jaw, who had only made two rounds of offensive plans, had to issue a third round of attack Moling, the drums continued to sound, as if giving the Xuzhou army a strong and powerful force, they were brave and fearless, and killed the Lujiang City Tower, and the crossbowmen on both sides did not stop for a moment from the beginning of the battle to the present, constantly pouring arrows in their hands towards each other, such a fierce blow shocked Liu Xun, although the arrows were the most worthless of the combat materials, but such a number of arrows still surprised him, This feels like the arrows don't want money in the eyes of the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army, and the troops should not be finished, they have never stopped at all, and they have been shooting, he doesn't know how many arrows the other party has shot, and it is conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands, and when it is evenly distributed, each person has to shoot at least two bags of arrows, if this amount is not hoarded in the Lujiang warehouse, it is impossible to carry so much if it is not carried at all.

People don't want money for their arrows, but do you want to spend five baht for your arrows? Shoot at Lao Tzu, don't care if you can shoot people, greet me to the bottom of the city tower.

Liu Xun was also anxious, he was suppressed like this, he couldn't raise his head, he had to change, he had to suppress the momentum of the crossbowmen of the Xuzhou army, otherwise the losses would increase, there were not many defenders in the first place, if he continued to lose like this, not to mention that people would kill him, the crossbowmen alone would almost have to solve his defenders.

At the moment when the defenders of Lujiang counterattacked, the Xuzhou army finally killed the head of Lujiang City again, this time the crossbowmen had no chance even if they wanted to counteract, so they could only retreat, and a team of shield-holding infantry came forward instead of them, and the Xuzhou army began to fight at close range, forcing them down the tower.

"Kill, drive these damn Xuzhou troops back!"

Ji Ling roared, he personally commanded a team of soldiers to defend, and with him on the front line, the Xuzhou army really had no way at all, unless Zhang Jaw or even Zhang Liao killed someone at this time, otherwise no one in the Xuzhou army was his opponent, and he was targeted, without exception, it was solved in one round.

"Kill!" Ji Ling roared, the roar resounded in the sky above Lujiang City, under his leadership, all the Lujiang defenders were like a rainbow in morale, and followed Ji Ling to fight at the forefront of the city tower, as long as there was a Xuzhou army in front of them, without exception, it was a chop, they were directly chopped to death, and they fell down the city tower.
