Speaking of fighting, he has some experience recently, but when it comes to fighting, he is really a layman, and the siege of the city is the first time he has seen it in his life.

"How many soldiers and horses have we lost?" Thinking of the tragic scene of the siege in his memory, Liu He couldn't help but shudder.

Zhao Yun said with a guilty face: "There is no loss of soldiers and horses, but the enemy defenders who went out of the city to meet the battle, their martial arts are extremely high, and several of my generals have been defeated by him, so they have not been able to start attacking the city." ”

Seeing that Liu He was confused, Zhuge Liang gave him a little explanation.

Siege warfare is roughly divided into two types, one is that the strength of the defenders is far inferior to the attacking side, in this case, the defenders will generally choose to put away the drawbridge and close the door.

There is also a situation, that is, the strength of the two sides is equal, and the defender even has the ability to go out of the city to block the enemy, at this time, it will be the same as the field battle, first by a member of the two sides of the general stepped forward to fight alone, only the winning side will use the momentum to launch an attack, and the losing side, only retreat.

As the defender, even if he wins, he will basically only beat the drum to cheer and increase the morale of the defenders, and then he will accept it and retreat to the city.

And the attacker, only if it wins, can it start the siege, otherwise it can only choose a time to fight again.

The current Liu Beijun is encountering this embarrassing situation.

The art of war is cloudy, and it is surrounded by ten times, and with Liu Beijun's strength, it is far from reaching this standard.

Changsha is an important town in Jingzhou, with many defenders and a tight garrison, almost the same number of soldiers and horses brought by Zhao Yun at the beginning, so you can open the city gate with confidence and go out of the city to fight.

The generals under Zhao Yun's command stepped forward again and again to call for battle, but they all returned with a feather, so they have not been able to start attacking the city.

As the coach, Zhao Yun could have gone into battle in person, but he knew very well that once he came out, not to mention defeat, even a tie would also cause his party's morale to suffer a heavy setback, and this Changsha City would be difficult to capture.

Weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Yun decisively chose to ask for help, once there is a person like Zhuge Liang who is a military advisor in charge, he can let go of his hands and feet and go to call for battle.

Hearing this explanation, Liu He couldn't help frowning, it seems that Huang Zhong is really old and strong, and he can make Zhao Yun so jealous.

But after listening carefully to the explanation later, Liu He was taken aback.

The Changsha guard who defeated Zhao Yun's several generals in a row turned out to be not the veteran Huang Zhong, but someone else.

After hearing this, Liu He's first reaction was whether those defeated generals were wrong, or because they were afraid of being punished, so they didn't dare to admit that they had lost to a gray-haired veteran.

But Zhao Yun said very clearly, he was in charge of the Chinese army, although he couldn't see the person's face clearly, but through the other party's black hair, he could still clearly distinguish that the person was by no means the veteran Huang Zhong.

"It's useless to talk too much, I'll go meet him for a while." Guan Yu looked at the Changsha City Tower coldly and arrogantly, and stepped forward with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

After many years of fighting, Guan Yu naturally knows where it is outside the range of the opponent's strong crossbow, and at this distance, even if he steps forward alone, he doesn't have to worry about the opponent's cold arrows.

Liu He watched from behind, but he sweated for Guan Yu, you must know that Huang Zhong is not only excellent in martial arts, but also outstanding in archery, and has a long reputation.

Seeing Liu He's worried look, Zhuge Liang reminded him in a low voice on the side, where Guan Yu was, even if Lu Wenhou, who was shooting halberds, was here, he could only sigh and sigh.

As soon as Guan Yu's war horse stood still, the suspension bridge on the opposite side was lowered, the city gate opened, and he galloped out of it, crossed the suspension bridge, and came to Guan Yu's face.

"How is he?" Chen Mo exclaimed in surprise when he saw the person's appearance.

Liu He looked carefully for a long time, but the distance was too far, and the other party's appearance was very blurry, and he couldn't identify the person's identity.

Chen Mo stared at the man for a while, and affirmed: "That's right, this is the person we met in Sanxian Town. Before he left, he also reported his name, what is his name...... It seems to be called Xing......"

Xing Zhi! When Liu He heard this, he immediately remembered the name.

Didn't he take Hua Chi's 1,000 taels of gold and fly away? How did it end up here?

At the beginning of Sanxian Town, Xing Zhi not only killed the surnamed Song who caused Sister Feng's family to be ruined for 1,000 taels of gold, but also killed all the more than 100 Cao soldiers he brought.

Liu He was very impressed by him, not only because of his high martial arts, but also because of his open-eyed way of doing things for money, which greatly exceeded Liu He's expectations, and also touched the bottom line in Liu He's heart.

I thought that he would take the 1,000 taels of gold and hide in a place in the north that was not disturbed by the war, but he didn't expect that he would go south and join the army.

Only this time, his identity is completely different from when he was in Cao Jun, looking at his armor, he looks like he is already dressed as a general.

This is too different from Liu He's impression of him, and it is precisely because of this strong contrast that Liu He is even more difficult to understand.

Could it be that Han Xuan spent a lot of money to invite him here?

Probably not, he went south alone, his identity is unknown, Han Xuan, as the Taishou of a city, will not easily make such a move of spending money to hire people to defend the city in the chaotic situation of Jingzhou's boundary.

What's more, Han Xuan already has Huang Zhong, an old and strong general, so there is no need to take that risk again.

Then the only explanation is that Xing Zhi recommended himself.

But this is a little contradictory to the character he showed in Sanxian Town at the beginning, you must know that even if he achieves the position of Changsha guard, he can get the silver in his hand all year round, plus the reward is only more than a hundred taels, compared to the thousand taels of gold he has already received, it is really a drop in the bucket.

If he was in it for money, he could have defected to a force that was expanding his territory, instead of a small Taishou like Han Xuan, who only guarded the city of Changsha City and was in a corner of peace.

Relying on military merits in exchange for rewards, the most important premise is to have a war, and to fight often, obviously a Changsha Taishou who has never been willing to go out of the city is really unable to satisfy the appetite of a greedy person.

In that case, why did he go south and come to this Changsha city?

When Liu He was thinking about it, the two had already started to move.

Guan Yu is not a tsundere character, obviously Xing Zhi has something to say, but Guan Yu is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, and he slashed over without saying a word.

This knife went down, Rao is Guan Yu was also a little surprised.

I heard Zhao Yun say just now that this person defeated several of his own generals in a row, and he thought that those people were not good at learning, but he could almost say that he left no room for a knife, but he was blocked by the horizontal knife of the opposite person.
