"This Chun Yuqiong is not as incompetent as Lone imagined, Jinyang, he is still guarding well!" In the camp of the Chinese army, Liu Yuan raised the account to discuss the matter, and said with a slight sigh.

It has been a long time since the troops were stationed under Jinyang City, but there was no progress in the siege of the city. When he first arrived in the city, he failed, but now, the huge Jinyang has let Chun Yuqiong defend it, especially with the strength of the family in the city, Jinyang's defense ability has been greatly improved, and Liu Yuan can also feel the increase in the number of soldiers in the city outside, which is quite a headache.

"Your Majesty, there are many soldiers in our army who are not accustomed to fighting, especially in this city battle. Jinyang is also a strong city, the pool is deep and the wall is high, if I forcibly attack it, I will suffer heavy losses, it is not advisable! "Former army general Kebineng said next.

"Having said that, my army of more than 20,000 Xia Kingdom is here, is it blocked by Jinyang? Please personally lead the beggar army to attack the city, and break it to the king! When he heard this, he immediately said loudly. Since the defeat of Xianbei, Fugu Huaijing has not fought for a long time, and he has been in Meiji for a few years, but he has been suffocated.

"Don't worry, Kebi can say this reasonably, the defenders in Jinyang City are only thousands, with the elite and courage of my soldiers, if you forcibly attack it, the city will be broken. But there will be a lot of losses, there is news that Yuan Shao has led the army to the north, and there are many losses under Jinyang City, what do we do to deal with Yuan Shao. Besides, Taiyuan is not only the city of Jinyang, if every city and every city fights like this, then when will it go, and how many soldiers will I use in Xia to consume? Liu Yuan stopped his excitement and said.

Liu Yuan's words fell, the atmosphere in the military tent sank, Liu Yuan felt a lot of relatives in his heart, there were many fierce generals in the tent, but there was a lack of someone to discuss and work with him.

This time when he entered Taiyuan in the east, Liu Yuan was determined to annex and annex the state, unlike the previous invasion of the Hu people, looting it, and leaving after the fight. However, if you want to bring this Han realm under control, attacking and breaking the city, it is a hurdle that cannot be overcome, and it cannot be avoided.

The siege of the city was unsuccessful, Liu Yuanyuan was originally trapped in Jinyang, waiting for Yuan Shao to return to the army, first break it, and then attack the city, and besiege the city to help. But after several considerations, I finally gave up this idea, without him, the uncertainty is too great.

There is no shortage of capable people under Yuan Shao, and those strategists should not be underestimated, and he must also know that Xia Guo's iron cavalry is powerful, and he will not give many opportunities for field battles. And if you don't take advantage of Jinyang's weak forces to break it, it is unknown whether there will be such a good opportunity in the future.

Looking at the generals in the tent, and swept to one person, Liu Yuan asked, "Yan Rou, how do you think Lone should act?" After spending a few months in Meiji Prison, he still accepted Liu Yuan's sincerity, and now he is worshiped as the deputy general of the infantry army and goes out with the army.

Yan Rou pondered for a while, and said: "Mo Ruo first attacked Wolf Meng and Yuxian in the north, Yuci in the east, controlled the chiseling platform and the two stoppers of Jiaoyang, cleared the surroundings, and then broke the city!" ”

"Yes!" There was no surprise in Liu Yuan's eyes: "There is no breakthrough in the overall situation!" ”

"King, the detective cavalry has come to report, more than 3,000 people in the forward line of the Yuan army have returned to the north, passing through Shangdang Nie County, and are marching towards Taiyuan!" Long Qi entered the tent and said.

Liu Yuan frowned slightly: "The action is so fast!" ”

"Liu Qiu!" Liu Yuan suddenly called.

"In!" Liu Qiu immediately got up when he heard the sound. After the establishment of the Xia State, Du Qiu also changed his surname to Liu with Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan stared at his younger brother a few times, and slowly ordered: "Gu and your two thousand former army elite cavalry, you and Da Xiling together to lead the army south, to delay the speed of Yuan's army." Isn't it common for you to say that you are useless, and now that Lone gives you this opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it! ”

"No!" Liu Qiu said excitedly. He is a full twenty-one years old, and he has been studying military books and practicing martial arts since he was a child, but unfortunately he has been suppressed by Liu Yuan. Now that Liu Yuan has given him the "reins" a little, he is naturally very excited.

got up and walked a few steps in the tent, and then Liu Yuan ordered again: "Yan Rou, don't care about the counties in the north first, as you said before, you and Dugusheng led the infantry army to cross the Jinshui, and took Yuci, Chiatai, and Jiaoyang, Dugusheng is stationed in Yuci, Chisetai, and you are stationed in Jiaoyang!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered the generals again: "Su Li, Tan Zhe, and Bald Gui are coming, the three of you and Gu will lead the beggar army to attack the northern city tomorrow, and this time you will spare no effort to attack the city with all your might." The rest of the generals gave Gu to contain the other three defenders, and the Gu general personally swept the formation. ”

"No!" The generals promised in unison, Liu Yuan made up his mind to break the city, then they should do their best.

"Time is running out! Jinyang, Lone must be taken! ”

……

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Yuanfang led a large army to Jinyang. Yuan Shao's speed made Liu Yuan feel a trace of pressure, and he passed on the pressure to his army.

Lined up the formation, begging the army, under the command of the three generals, launched an attack on the city. Two thousand sergeants rushed up with sandbags and planks, the purpose of which was naturally not to climb the city, but to finish the moat flowing with Jinshui.

Xia Jun's actions alarmed the defenders of the city early, and Han Juzi, who had been staying at the head of the city, was in a daze and was also startled. Seeing the dense beggar army rushing to the moat, he immediately understood, and ordered loudly: "Release the arrows!" ”

Yuan's arrows rained down and knocked down many people, but as the beggar sergeant put the plank on his head, the casualties were suddenly much less. Behind him, Liu Yuan sent another 2,000 knights to ride around and shoot back, and also hit the defenders with arrows, buying time for the beggar sergeant.

Braving the arrows that kept falling from the city, it took more than half an hour to finally build more than a dozen passages on the moat of the northern city. The soldiers who "built the bridge" were withdrawn to rest, losing more than 300 people.

"Attack!" After preparing for a long time, Su Li and Bald Guilai immediately led the remaining 2,000 or so savage beggars and rushed forward. Cloud ladders, rushing cars, and wells were all used, and in this expedition, Liu Yuan carried many craftsmen in the army and created a lot of siege equipment.

Chun Yu Qiongye had already come to the top of the city, and was seeing that Fang had launched a charge against the Xia army. Looking down, the "passages" on the moat, his eyes flashed fiercely: "Han Juzi, you take three hundred people out of the city, destroy those wooden bridges, and stop the enemy from attacking the city." ”

"General!" Han Juzi had the heart to refuse, going out at this time was no different from looking for death. But seeing Chun Yuqiong's eager gaze, he swallowed his saliva: "Obey the order!" ”

"The rest of the soldiers, together with the generals, are on standby to deal with the enemy's attack!"

When the beggar army attacked, the gate of Jinyang burst open, and Han Juzi led people out of the city and went straight to the wooden road. Liu Yuan saw it from afar, and immediately realized it, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry troops who were still running under the city to shoot him.

Desperately demolished a few, the beggar army was already approaching, Han Juzi knew that he could not demolish them all, and was about to retreat to the city. Seeing that the city gate behind him had begun to close slowly, his face changed greatly, and he shouted decisively: "Withdraw!" ”

squeezed into the city with all his might, and the city gate slammed shut, and Han Juzi only felt that his heart was beating hard. However, there were still 100 soldiers outside the city gate who had not yet returned to the city, and they knocked on the city gate vigorously: "Open the door!" ”

With a terrible scream, and then drowned out by the deafening war drums and rushing killing sounds outside the door, the Xia army attacked the city!

"I'm waiting, I haven't entered the city yet, why are the doors closed!" Han Juzi asked angrily at the city gate guard.

"General Chun Yu has an order, the enemy is approaching, and it is inevitable that he will take advantage of the situation to break in, so he ...... The subordinates are also on orders! Seeing Han Juzi's fierce gaze, Tun Chang swallowed his saliva.

When Han Juzi heard this, he was even more resentful in his heart!
