"Childe, I think Liu Bei is also fierce and unlucky, otherwise how could Yuan Shu's army come to Guangling, Childe asked the army outside the city not to come back, there may be a glimmer of life to concentrate on defending the city!"

"Okay, Mingjin immediately retreats!" The panicked potter did not notice at this time that his soldiers and the enemy had already been fighting together.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and when the potter gave the order, he rushed into the city with the enemy and his own army, and a scuffle broke out at the city gate.

"Step, step on ......" A puff of dust rose not far from the outside of the city, and thousands of cavalry under the banner of Yuan came straight to the city gate.

Soon the cavalry joined the battlefield, and the addition of cavalry made the battle unsuspenseful, and the battle ended with the complete defeat of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, the death of the pottery merchants, and the complete fall of Guangling County.

When Zhang Fei arrived, Yuan's army had already occupied Guangling County, and then found out about the death of the pottery merchant and left.

……

"Big brother, when I arrived, Guangling County had already been occupied, and the pottery merchant had already died in battle!" After Zhang Fei returned to Liu Bei's side, he said to Liu Bei.

"What, the potter's son is dead!" Liu Bei was shocked.

"How did the potter die?" Liu Bei asked.

"I heard that he was killed by his mutinous men!" Zhang Fei replied.

"Hey, I mistook the son!" Liu Bei sighed that in his opinion, if he sent Zhang Qing and one of Guan Shengzhong to protect the pottery, he would have a chance to survive the pottery merchants.

"Big brother, now is not the time to be sad and sigh, let's think about what to do next, right?" Guan Yu said to Liu Bei.

"Yes! Big brother, let's find a place for these soldiers to live first! Zhang Fei said from the side.

"Let's go north to Langya County now, I hope that Tao Yinggongzi is okay!" Liu Bei said immediately.

"Okay, listen to big brother!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei replied at the same time.

Langya County,

At this time, most of the cities in Langya County had been occupied, and Kaiyang, which is now the county seat, was also surrounded.

"Listen to the people on the city tower, Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, a certain general, open the city gate and surrender quickly, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not stay!"

A deafening sound rang out.

"What to do, the letter for help has already been sent."

On the castle tower, Tao asked the general on the side.

"Returning to Gongzi, it has been sent out!" The answer to Tao Ying was a young general, this man was twenty years old, nine feet tall, and his body was strong, but he had a feminine face, and his painting style did not match at all.

"Just send it out!" Tao Ying breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Childe, there will be something I don't know in the end, please Childe to solve your doubts!" The general asked.

"Zhang Yu! If you have any questions, just ask? Tao Ying replied.

This general's name is Zhang Yu, and it can be said that there are still forgotten talents in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Childe, you send a letter of help to Liu Yuanjun, the eldest prince will understand, but why did you send a letter to Fu Zhu, Xu Huang." Zhang Yu asked puzzled.

"The Yuan army has already killed Langya County, it is conceivable that Pengcheng and Xiapi are already more auspicious, and Guangling has fewer soldiers, and sending a letter for help actually has little effect, as for why they sent a letter for help to Xu Huang, it is because they are fierce, and my son has some friendship with them." Tao Ying replied.

"The Admiral understands!" Zhang Yu replied.

"General Zhang's task of defending the city is entrusted to you, I really can't stand this kind of scene." Tao Ying said helplessly.

"Childe, please rest assured, Zhang Yu will definitely hold on until reinforcements arrive." Zhang Yu said with an oath.

"Good!"

……

"Listen to the people on the city tower, your Lord Thorn Shi is already on the way to my Yuzhou, your Pengcheng and Xiapi have also been occupied by our army, you are limited to open the city gate quickly, maybe you can spare a way to live, otherwise, the chickens and dogs will not stay."

After Tao Ying left, Ji Ling's voice sounded again.

Ji Ling's words fell, and the Xuzhou soldiers on the city tower set off a panic, but Zhang Yu found it in time and quickly suppressed it.

"Listen to the people on the city tower, you are now surrounded by us, and when the army arrives, your city will be destroyed in an instant!" This time it was not Ji Ling's voice, but the voice of another Yuan army general.

Zhang Yu on the city tower was unmoved, although he was very angry in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still forcibly held back his anger.

Soon this day passed under Yuan Jun's scolding and provocation.

The next day, early in the morning.

Outside the city, drums suddenly roared, and tens of thousands of troops gathered, ready to attack Kaiyang City at any time.

"General, do you really want to attack the city now, General Yuan has instructed to wait for him to arrive before attacking the city!" Ji Ling's lieutenant said to Ji Ling.

"Humph! Yesterday I was less angry, today I have conquered this city. Ji Ling said angrily.

"General, this Kaiyang City has strong walls, even we don't have an advantage in numbers, the general is attacking the city, please think twice!" The deputy will continue to persuade.

Because Xuzhou is located in the plain, unlike Chang'an, Luoyang Mountain is high and dangerous, and there are strong passes and dangerous blockages to block, unlike the southern rivers, which are densely covered by rivers. Therefore, the city walls of Xuzhou are generally tall and strong, with a moat to block them, and at this time there are only 10,000 people under Ji Ling, and although the army defending the city is less than 10,000 people, the gap is not big.

"Am I the chief general or are you the main general, I said that the siege will attack the city, and the whole army will be ordered to attack the city immediately!" Ji Ling said angrily.

Ji Ling ignored it and gave the order to siege the city.

Soon Yuan's army left the barracks and assembled outside Kaiyang City, ready to go.

"Childe, the Yuan army outside the city has gathered, and it looks like they are going to attack the city." Zhang Yu reported to Tao Yingyu.

"What, could it be that Yuan Jun's reinforcements arrived so soon." Tao Ying exclaimed.

"It doesn't seem to be, the army outside the city is only about 10,000 people, and I don't see other banners!" Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

"In this way, that Ji Ling actually dared to attack the city, there is no deception in this." Tao Ying said softly.

"The last general is stupid, I don't know!" Zhang Yu said confusedly.

"General Zhang, pass the order down, let the whole army guard the city, and don't go out of the city to fight without permission." Tao Ying said in a deep voice.

"No!" Soon Zhang Yu mobilized manpower with Tao Ying's order and prepared to defend the city.

……

At noon, Ji Ling's army finally began to attack the city, cavalry charged, arrows volleyed, ladders, and vehicles rushed to the city......

A series of means showed Ji Ling's anger, Ji Ling can be said to have given everything he had, and the army under his command was all in one go, and Zhang Yu concentrated on commanding the army to attack.

From noon to dusk, after the first battle, Ji Ling's army lost one or two thousand people, while the Xuzhou army defending the city only lost a few hundred people, a huge gap.

On the second day, Ji Ling seemed to understand that yesterday's impulse was wrong, he did not attack the city on this day, and besieged Kaiyang City with peace of mind, waiting for Yuan Chonghuan's reinforcements.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already cleaned up the mess and sent a part of his men to Donghai County, while he led the main army towards Langya County.

In addition, at the same time, there is also a group of men and horses in Beihai Country who have been assembled and are already on the way to Kaiyang City.

……

Two days later, as usual, Kaiyang City was still calm.

For two days, there was no fighting, and both sides were calm.

"Report!"

"Report to the general, General Yuan's men and horses are already twenty miles away, and they will arrive in only two hours." A soldier came to Ji Ling's tent to report to Ji Lingyu.

"Good! The order went down, and the army immediately assembled and attacked the city! Ji Ling was overjoyed and immediately issued an order to attack the city.

"General, why are you here, General Yuan hasn't arrived yet." The adjutant general on the side couldn't help but say.

"What do you know, I will now attack the city and wait for General Yuan's army to arrive, and then join the battle, so that the battle can be resolved quickly, and the order of General Ben will be passed on immediately, and the city will be sieged!" Ji Ling said unhappily.

The adjutant general had no choice but to let Ji Ling go.

"Childe, Ji Ling's army has gathered again, as if it is preparing to attack the city, and their reinforcements have not yet arrived like last time." Zhang Yu reported to Tao Yingyu.

"General Zhang, be careful of deception, let the soldiers be cautious when defending the city, don't make mistakes!" Tao Ying admonished.

"The last general understands!"

……

"Kill, kill, kill......"

The deafening killing cry sounded, and the Yuan army began to attack the city again, this time Ji Ling was not angry, and the Yuan army's siege became orderly and no longer so chaotic.
