Xu Tianshun sent troops to Yanzhou, and Ning Zhong, the defender of Yanzhou, actively defended the city.

If you want to hold Yanzhou, it's not so easy!

There are only 5,000 people in Yanzhou City, Xu Tianshun has 50,000 men and horses, and the enemy's strength is ten times that of his own.

*******

At this time, someone came to report: "Report, we don't have many carved arrows." ”

As soon as Ning Zhong heard this, he was shocked.

If the arrows are gone, and there are so many enemies attacking the city, won't the city be finished?

Ning Zhong instructed his subordinates: "Tear down the houses and defend the city with bricks and wood!" ”

Ning Zhong ordered a monk, and his subordinates demolished the houses.

Of course, Ning Zhong also asked his subordinates to tell the people whose houses were demolished that they would demolish the houses first and build them later.

How do you defend the city with bricks and wood?

That is, when the enemy erects a ladder to attack the city, he smashes bricks and tiles and wood down.

******

Soon, the bricks and timber were also used up.

The enemy is attacking vigorously, and he needs something to defend the city at every moment!

At this time, someone came to report: "Report, we have run out of bricks, tiles, and wood."

Ning Zhongxin said: What can I do about this?

Ning Zhong also instructed his subordinates: "Demolish all the houses in the city, including my lord's house!" Defend the city with those bricks and timbers! ”

"Yes!"

Ning Zhong gave an order, and his subordinates demolished the house again.

This time, even Ning Zhong's house was demolished.

*******

After a while, all the bricks and timber were all gone.

At this time, Ning Zhong really had no spell to recite.

Ning Zhongxin said: If the enemy attacks, I will fight with them!

******

At this time, Xu Tianshun under the city was secretly happy.

Xu Tianshun said: It won't take long for me to take Yanzhou.

Xu Tianshun knows. There are not many things left in the city to defend the city.

Xu Tianshun instructed his subordinates: "Intensify the siege of the city for me!" ”

******

But at this time, something unexpected happened to Xu Tianshun.

At this time, Xu Tianshun was directing his men to step up the siege of the city, and suddenly a detective report came: "Report!" General Xu learned that the big thing was not good, and Guo Chongtao led countless men and horses to kill us! ”

"What?"

When Xu Tianshun heard the news, he was shocked.

Xu Tianshun knows how powerful Guo Chongtao is.

Guo Chongtao: That's a person who has been on the battlefield for many years!

As soon as Xu Tianshun heard this, he instructed his people: "Give me a step up to attack the city!" Intensify the siege for me! ”

Xu Tianshun wanted to capture Yanzhou before Guo Chongtao's brigade arrived.

Because there is a lot of grain and grass in Yanzhou City, Xu Tianshun wants to get those grains and grass first.

******

While Xu Tianshun instructed his men to step up the siege of the city, he asked the detective: "How far are Guo Chongtao's men and horses from here?" ”

The spy said, "About fifty or sixty miles." ”

Xu Tianshun said: "Let's talk about it in detail. Is it fifty miles, or sixty miles? ”

The spy said, "I don't know. ”

Xu Tianshun said: "Rice bucket! ”

The detective said: Guo Chongtao's men are heading here, and the distance between him and here is changing at any time, how do I know how far he is from here?

Xu Tianshun asked the detective again: "How many people did Guo Chongtao bring?" ”

The detective said, "That's a lot." ”

Xu Tian said: "What's so much? I want detailed figures, how many people did Guo Chongtao come? ”

The detective said, "About 100,000." I don't know exactly how much. ”

Xu Tianshun said: "Waste! ”

******

Xu Tianshun saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask, he stepped up the siege.

Xu Tianshun was attacking, and Guo Chongtao's brigade arrived.

As soon as Guo Chongtao's men arrived. He fought with Xu Tianshun.

Ning Zhong in the city saw that the rescuers were coming, and he also led the men and horses out.

As soon as Xu Tianshun saw that Guo Chongtao's rescue had arrived, he also saw that Guo Chongtao had brought a lot of people, and he was also worried about the strength of Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao among Guo Chongtao's people. He retired from the army.

Xu Tianshun retreated forty miles.

******

Didn't Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao come? Why is Xu Tianshun still worried about Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao?

At that time, the communication equipment was not developed, Guo Chongtao was fifty miles away from Xuzhou City and suddenly divided his troops, and the news that Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao suddenly went to Huainan and Yancheng did not come for the time being.

******

Let's talk about Guo Chongtao.

After Guo Chongtao scared Xu Tianshun away, he entered the city.

After Guo Chongtao entered the city. Ning Zhong reported to Guo Chongtao about his defense of Yanzhou this time.

Ning Zhong said: "In order to defend Yanzhou this time, I demolished all the houses of everyone in Yanzhou City. ”

Guo Chongtao said: "For those houses that were demolished, the imperial court will double the compensation." ”

Ning Zhong said: "Prime Minister Xie." ”

Other than that. Guo Chongtao also praised Ning Zhong.

Ning Zhong did a good job this time.

******

Guo Chongtao took a one-day break in Yanzhou.

The next day, Guo Chongtao led his troops to chase Xu Tianshun.

Guo Chongtao's task was to drive all Wu Guobing out of Li Tang's territory, and of course he couldn't stay in Yanzhou for longer.

******

Let's talk about Xu Tianshun.

After Xu Tianshun was defeated outside Yanzhou City, he temporarily set up camp forty miles south of Yanzhou City.

At this time, Xu Tianshun thought: What should I do? Prime Minister Xu Zhihao asked me to fight Yanzhou, I met Guo Chongtao's brigade, do I continue to fight Yanzhou, should I go back? I continue to fight Yanzhou, can I be Guo Chongtao's opponent? I continue to fight Yanzhou, if I can't get Yanzhou again, what should I do if I am still wounded and damaged? I'm going back? Prime Minister Xu asked me to fight Yanzhou, and if I go back, will it be considered that I have disobeyed the military order?

******

Xu Tianshun was thinking about it, when someone suddenly came to report that Xu Tianci's brigade was coming.

Xu Zhihao sent Xu Tianci to lead 50,000 horses to receive Xu Tianshun, and at this time Xu Tianci led people to arrive.

******

As soon as Xu Tianshun heard that Xu Tianci was coming, he was very happy.

As soon as Xu Tianshun heard that Xu Tianci was coming, he hurried to greet him.

Xu Tianshun saw Xu Tianci, and as soon as he asked about the situation over there, he learned that Guo Chongtao had sent Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao to take Huainan and Yancheng.

At this time, Xu Tianshun had a bold delusion: continue to take Yanzhou!

Xu Tianshun's reason is: We (he and Xu Tianci) have 100,000 men and horses, and our men and horses exceed Guo Chongtao's men and horses by many people, and Guo Chongtao's men and horses do not have Li Cunba, Li Cunxiao and other generals, if we fight with Guo Chongtao in this case, we can win 90 percent.

But Xu Tianci disagreed with Xu Tianshun's opinion.

Xu Tianci's view is: The soldiers follow the general's order, the grass follows the wind, and the prime minister tells us to do what we do. The prime minister asked us to go back, and we went back. Let's make our own decisions, what if we lose? What's more, let's fight Yanzhou, we are alone in the depths, our Huainan and Yancheng side of the grain road has been robbed by Guo Chongtao, our prime minister can not fight Huainan and Yancheng, we want to go deep alone, even if we defeat Yanzhou, there is no great benefit. Besides, we are not necessarily Guo Chongtao's opponents.

As soon as Xu Tianshun heard it, Xu Tianci also had a certain amount of truth, so he decided to listen to Xu Tianci's words and go back to Xuzhou.

That night, Xu Tianshun and Xu Tianci led their people, and they rushed to the direction of Xuzhou.

******

Let's talk about Guo Chongtao.

The next day, Guo Chongtao was preparing to talk to Xu Tianshun, and he found that Xu Tianshun had left.

As soon as Guo Chongtao inquired, he learned that it was Xu Tianci who came, and it was Xu Tianci who persuaded Xu Tianshun to go.

Guo Chongtao saw that Xu Tianshun and Xu Tianci had left, so he chased Xu Tianshun and Xu Tianci away from behind.

Guo Chongtao chased Xu Tianshun and Xu Tianci on the one hand, and he also asked people to shout in the back.

What are you shouting?

shouted: "Xu Tianshun, Xu Tianci, where are you going, you leave your head and leave!" ”

******

Xu Tianshun and Xu Tianci listened to Guo Chongtao's words, and they were angry.

Xu Tianshun said: I am a famous general, I let you chase Guo Chongtao, who is not very good at martial arts, and flee in embarrassment, I am too embarrassed. I should really go up and fight with Guo Chongtao against the three lilies! I don't need three lilies, we can kill Guo Chongtao in two rounds.

Xu Tianci advised Xu Tianshun: "Don't be angry with him." We are not defeated, we are ordered to return to the army! ”

In fact, Xu Tianci's heart is not a taste.

Such a big general let a person who is not very good at martial arts chase him and flee in embarrassment, can he feel good in his heart?

******

Finally, Xu Tianshun and Xu Tianci ran back to Xuzhou.

As soon as Xu Tianshun returned to Xuzhou, he asked Xu Zhihao: "Prime Minister, I can't get out of this breath." ”

Xu Zhihao said: "I'm going to fight to the death with Guo Chongtao!" (To be continued.) )
