Yi County in Hejian County, Jizhou, has long been surrounded by tens of thousands of troops outside the county seat, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu are the leaders. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guan Yu, who was already as heavy as a jujube, turned even redder at this time, snorted coldly, and said, "I didn't expect this Yi County to be so difficult to beat!" ”

Liu Bei looked calm on the surface, and said lightly: "It's just that the trapped beast is still fighting, and it is only a matter of time before Yi County is attacked." ”

"Then Zou Jing knew that he was not the opponent of you and my brothers, so he actually started a turtle with a shrunken head, and he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, if he came out earlier, this Yi County would have been breached!" Guan Yu said angrily.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Second brother don't worry, according to my estimate, Zou Jing must be at the end of the crossbow!" ”

"So what now? Continuing the siege? Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "In this way, withdraw one side, only attack three sides, leave some hope for Zou Jing, as long as he abandons the city and flees, it will be his death!" ”

After Guan Yu heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Big brother is really benevolent and righteous. ”

So, Guan Yu gave an order, and the army that was originally besieging the city on all sides was divided into three teams to attack the north, east and south gates of Yi County respectively, leaving the west gate behind.

In Yi County, Zou Jing stood on top of the city with a nervous expression, staring at Liu Bei's army not far away, he knew that it would not be long before there would be another round of attacks.

I don't know how many times this kind of offensive and defensive battle has passed in the past few days, and the surrounding city walls are already a little low, and they are even more dilapidated at this time.

If it weren't for the old man Ge in the city leading the people of the county to repair the city wall in time, I am afraid that the city would have been broken at this time.

"Report!"

A messenger quickly ran to Zou Jing and said, "General Qiyu, Liu Bei's army outside the city has withdrawn the troops at the west gate, and only the other three gates remain. ”

Zou Jing frowned, he had led the troops to fight for many years, of course he knew that this was a plan, as long as he went out of the West Gate, he would definitely fail miserably.

However, in this situation, there is still a glimmer of life outside the city; Defending the city is a dead end!

The other sergeants also understood this truth, and they all looked at Zou Jing in unison, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ge Laohan was leading a group of villagers to help repair the city wall at this time, and after hearing this, he came over and said: "General, it is better to withdraw from the west gate, go to the lord, and wait until you find the lord and then kill it back!" ”

Zou Jing knew that the identity of this old man Ge was not ordinary, although he was only a village elder, he had a close relationship with Zhao Qian, and his prestige in Yi County was not low.

"Our soldiers have withdrawn, what will happen to you and the people?" Zou Jing asked.

Ge Laohan smiled and said: "I heard that Liu Bei is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and he will definitely not harm us. ”

After hearing this, Zou Jing pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I am entrusted by the general to guard Yi County, and I must not give up this city to Liu Bei's house." ”

"However, if you resist it, it will definitely end up burning all the jade!" Ge Laohan said in a trembling voice.

Zou Jing took a deep breath, glanced at the bloodied sergeants around him, and asked loudly, "General Ben asked you and the others, are you willing to live and die with Yi County?" ”

These soldiers were the first batch of Zhao Qian's adaptation, with a total of 5,000 people, and after several battles to defend the city, there are less than 2,000 left, and everyone is more or less injured.

These soldiers were either tenant farmers from Yi County, or displaced people who fled from other places, but Zhao Qian accepted them and supported their old and young wives and children, and they already regarded this place as their home.

"General, my parents, wife and children are in the city, I would rather die than flee!" A sergeant said.

"I'd rather die than run away!"

"I'd rather die than run away!"

All the sergeants shouted in unison, Zou Jing laughed, and said, "Old Ge, do you see, this is my sergeant, this is the lord's army!" ”

Ge Lao nodded and said, "If the lord knows, he must be very happy!" ”

"General, Liu Bei has begun to attack the city!" There was a sergeant report.

Ge Lao nodded at Zou Jing, and led the villagers to leave here, and the matter of fighting depended on Zou Jing.

Zou Jing watched Ge Lao and the others leave, pulled out the sword in his waist, and said loudly: "Sons, how to deal with the thieves who invaded the realm and killed my brother?" ”

"Kill!"

Although there were only more than a thousand defenders, the shouts were thunderous, and the sound of killing directly reached the ears of Liu Bei's army who was about to attack the city.

Somehow, it was clear that they were the superior side, but after hearing the sound of "killing", I felt a creepy feeling.

It seems that what you are facing in front of you is not Yi County, which has low walls, but a hell that takes people's lives!

Seeing that the army was getting closer and closer, Zou Jing gave an order: "Crossbowmen, prepare, shoot!" ”

For a time, arrows rained down, and although many of the siege soldiers had shields to resist, there were still some unlucky people who were shot by arrows and died.

At the three city gates, this is the case, although bows and arrows and falling rocks continue to shoot and fall, but the number of soldiers who have no choice but to defend the city is too small.

Liu Bei's army soon arrived at the bottom of the city, and when the high ladder was erected, Liu Bei's sergeants began to climb up.

Before resisting, Zou Jing still had hot oil to pour down, but now, the hot oil has long been exhausted, and looking at the high ladder on the city wall, he can only use falling rocks to smash down.

At the same time, several sergeants pushed the high ladder outward, but there was Sergeant Liu Bei under the city to shoot arrows to cover, often pushing open a high ladder, and it cost the lives of several soldiers.

Zou Jing traveled back and forth between the three gates, commanding the only 1,000 or so soldiers to resist, but he knew that the destruction of the city seemed to be a matter of time.

Zou Jing looked west, not to see the West Gate that had not been attacked, but to see Zhao Qian's army.

At this time, Zou Jing already felt powerless, if Zhao Qian's reinforcements did not come again, I am afraid that he would never see the lord again.

Bang!

At this moment, a large part of the city wall at the east gate finally collapsed, and the height was only more than two people high, and Liu Bei's soldiers rushed towards the gap.

Zou Jing knew that if this place was not blocked in time, the gap would only get bigger and bigger, and when the time came, the enemy army would swarm in, and the general trend would be gone.

Zou Jing shouted peace, and immediately a sergeant came, and at this time, Liu Bei's sergeant had already climbed up the gap.

The skirmishes cut down the sergeant who had climbed up to the ground, but there were more and more enemies outside the low wall.

While resisting the enemy's attack, the situation is critical by piling up rocks on top of the gap in the wall!

There was another boom, and another city wall was damaged, Zou Jing frowned, and personally brought more than a dozen soldiers to go.

Sou!

A sharp arrow came and hit Zou Jing's calf, but fortunately the strength was not large, and it did not hurt the bones, Zou Jing gritted his teeth, pulled out the sharp arrow, and inserted it into the throat of an enemy who climbed the city wall.

Seeing Zou Jing so brave, the sergeants couldn't help but be greatly encouraged, and one by one they cheered up and resisted the enemy to the death!
