Yuan Shu gave Ji Ling a strategic goal, Ji Ling thought for a while and said: "Lord, if we want to force the Liaodong army to escape, then we have to reduce the defense of the south gate again, so that they have a chance, but Wancheng is strong, and it is really difficult to complete it in the short term." ”

"No, we have to find a way to achieve the goal as soon as possible, because our logistics pressure is too great, there are only a few counties at present, and the food has been divided by Ye Chen, and now there are tens of thousands of troops, and the food is all dependent on external purchases, how can we bear it." Yuan Shu said very angrily, he was not angry with others, but Ye Chen, it was Ye Chen who made him so embarrassed.

A few county towns simply can't support Yuan Shu's 70,000 army, that's why he is so anxious, he also knows that this siege, especially the fortified city, must not be in a hurry, but he has to be in a hurry.

Ji Ling took the order and left, but what could he do, he could only step up the attack and force Ye Chen and them to retreat.

The next day, Ji Ling led his troops to launch another onslaught, and due to Yuan Shu's request, his attack intensified.

"Lord, this Yuan Shujun suddenly strengthened his attack, it's not normal." Guo Jia said.

Ye Chen looked at the enemy who was attacking the city wall under the city and said, "It's really not normal, you go and find out about the situation of the other city gates." ”

Ye Chen couldn't figure out the situation for a while, maybe Yuan Shu's original plan was to attack violently, and the first day was just a tentative attack.

"My lord, the west gate also carried out a fierce attack, the east gate has not changed, and the south gate has reduced the intensity of the attack." Guo Jia went to the various city gates and came back and said.

"Fengxiao, is there any conspiracy in this Yuan Shujun?" Ye Chen asked.

Guo Jia had obviously seen some problems, and he said directly: "Lord, I'm afraid Yuan Shu still wants to force us to go through the south gate, drive us south, and then attack Huang Zu from the north and south." Guo Jia said.

Ye Chen also agreed with this statement, the purpose of this Yuan Shu was nothing more than to drive Ye Chen and them out of Nanyang, and the others were not the most important.

"Okay, let's go back, make a good total, and let Yuan Shu suffer some losses and increase his memory." Ye Chen already had a plan in his heart, and asked Guo Jia to go back with him to improve this plan.

The two returned to the county guard and began to discuss.

"Lord, you can't go out of the east gate to lure the enemy with horses, and you can't have too many horses, there is obviously an ambush at the east gate, and if there are less, it will be dangerous, and if there are more, our troops will be insufficient in other aspects." After listening to Ye Chen's strategy, Guo Jia analyzed.

"That's right, so we must choose elite soldiers to attack, so that the enemy thinks that we are tricked and let down our vigilance, and then our attack will be more effective." Ye Chen said.

"The subordinates think that if they send Yun Chang and Ziyi to lead three thousand escort battalions out of the east gate, they only need to entangle with them for a while, wait until they attract the attention of the enemy, and then they can come back after the military formation changes." Guo Jia suggested to Ye Chen.

"Okay." Ye Chen slapped the table and made a decision: "Don't fight today, tomorrow send Yun Chang and Ziyi out of the east gate, Feng Xiao, you lead a team of soldiers and horses to meet them at the head of the east gate, in addition, I personally lead five thousand guard battalions to fight, Zilong and Hutou will go out with me, and Gongming will continue to defend the city." ”

"Yes, lord, my subordinates will arrange it."

Ye Chen didn't plan to fight today, the reason was very simple, it was more reasonable to fight tomorrow, so that Yuan Shujun thought that after their onslaught, Ye Chen had the idea of retreating.

The day's onslaught ended quickly, and the injuries on both sides were not small, and at the end of the day, Ye Chen and them suffered more than 1,000 casualties, while Yuan Shujun suffered about 5,000 casualties.

The proportion of recruits in Yuan Shu's army is too high, and many of them are on the battlefield for the first time, or siege warfare, and the pressure is not ordinary.

"Lord, this Yuan Shujun has eaten dinner and started attacking again." After Guo Jia made the arrangement, he returned to the county guard mansion and said to Ye Chen.

"Let them fight, the soldiers who will fight tomorrow, let them rest first, and see what this Yuan army can be tossed into."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, this Yuan Shu was in a hurry to drive himself out of Nanyang, so he chose to attack Wancheng day and night.

The next day, Yuan's army, which had been attacking all night, did not stop, but changed another wave of people and began to attack.

In the city, at the east gate, Guan Yu and Tai Shici have already lined up with 3,000 soldiers and horses, ready to attack at any time.

"Open the gates." Guo Jia, who was prepared above, ordered the east gate to be opened.

"Kill." The gate opened, and with a shout of killing, Guan Yu and Tai Shici came out of the east gate.

The east gate was a feint, and there were not many enemies, and the team prepared by the attackers was only four or five thousand people, and they were immediately defeated and retreated.

The soldiers at the east gate were obviously also on a mission, and the attacking team, after receiving the enemy, immediately retreated, joining up with the defenders behind, intending to stop their attack.

"Lord, great, this Ye Chen finally couldn't hold it back and attacked from the east gate." The news quickly reached Ji Ling's side, and he happily reported to Yuan Shu.

"Okay, they only sent 3,000 people, it is estimated that if they want to attack the east and west, they can order the army to fight, and it is not bad to be able to eat these 3,000 people, tell the guards of the south gate that if they want to go out from the south gate, even if they let them out, we must occupy Wancheng first." Seeing that the strategy was successful, Ye Chen and the others really started to act, Yuan Shu was afraid that they would not go out of the city, Yuan Shu was very happy when he went out of the city, and felt that the opportunity had come.

After Guan Yu and Tai Shici attacked, they quickly tore apart the army at the East Gate, and they did not have many soldiers and horses, so they could not stop it at all.

At this time, a group of cavalry in the distance killed Guan Yu and them, this cavalry was about 8,000 people, and it was the only mobile force of Yuan Shujun's army at present.

"Okay, you're finally moving." Guo Jia was at the head of the city and saw that Yuan Jun had sent a detachment of soldiers and horses from the north gate, intending to cut off Guan Yu's retreat.

When a team of soldiers and horses is mobilized on the battlefield, the rest of the arrangements will naturally follow, and Guo Jia is waiting for them to move.

"Dig through them head-on." Not long after Guan Yu went out with Tai Shici, he saw a cavalry coming towards them, Guan Yu saw that their horsemanship was sparse and there was no general to lead them, so he shouted and wanted to deal with this army of soldiers and horses.

Tai Shici nodded and agreed with Guan Yu's plan.

"Hmph, when you are surrounded, you dare to be arrogant." The general of Yuan Shu on the opposite side looked disdainful, he knew that Yuan Shu would send someone to cut off their retreat, because he was in charge of ambushing the enemy outside the east gate, and knew Yuan Shu's strategy.

The two cavalry approached quickly, and the soldiers on both sides showed their weapons.

"Kill."

Upon approaching, soldiers on both sides shouted and rushed over.

"Hiss~"

"Puff~"

"Ritsu~"

Fierce collision, the two sides just fought each other, the Liaodong army was compact, and under the leadership of Guan Yu and Tai Shici, it violently crashed into the formation of Yuan Shujun.

"Kill, gouge, gouge."

Guan Yu shouted, and at the same time, the big knife in his hand continued to slash, slashing the enemies one by one.
