Wei Xiaokuan proposed to split up, and he led 2,000 men and horses to transport grain and grass to Chang Yuchun's soldiers and horses from the direction of Zheshui, and let Yang Yansi lead 8,000 main forces to support Nanxiang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Yansi nodded in agreement after hearing this, but he was worried about Wei Xiaokuan: "It's just that my lord, you lead two thousand men and horses to transport grain and grass to General Chang, will it be too dangerous, why don't I give you three thousand?"
Wei Xiaokuan waved his hand and said: "Crossing the Zhejiang River is Xi County, where the defense of the Yuan army is empty, you can reach the champion county to the south, and there is no danger in Pingchuan." Two thousand men and horses are enough, have you forgotten how 100,000 foreign cavalry were wiped out at the time of Yanmen? ”
Yang Yansi laughed when he heard this: "I forgot your ability, sir, then I will immediately lead 8,000 men and horses to help Nanxiang, and you will go to deliver grain and grass to General Chang after you have rectified!"
"It's you, this time Jingzhou soldiers and horses are coming, they must have a lot of soldiers and horses, you only have 8,000 men and horses, you should be cautious, hold Nanxiang, drag them immediately, I will immediately send people Pegasus to report to Your Majesty, send people to support, you must be careful." Wei Xiaokuan advised.
"Sir, rest assured!" Yang Yansi nodded in agreement.
The heavy grain and grass of the Changyuchun army was prepared by Chang'an, passed through the Qingni Pass, went to Wuguan and then to Nanxiang. Now that Liu Biao's soldiers and horses have invaded Nanxiang, the grain road is impassable, so he can only transport grain and grass to Chang Yuchun through the Zhejiang underwater champion. Yang Yansi led the soldiers and horses to support Nanxiang first, and Wei Xiaokuan also took 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort him from the direction of Zheshui after preparing grain and grass in Wuguan.
Under Nanxiang City, Jingzhou soldiers and horses have also built a cloud ladder, and soldiers and horses began to attack Nanxiang City. 20,000 soldiers and horses stormed the south gate, and the other three gates only sent 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard them, but they did not attack.
The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the soldiers on both sides fought with their lives, but Wen Ping, who was experienced in soldiers, soon discovered that something was wrong with the Han army in Nanxiang City, and looked at Huang Zu with a happy face: "General, you see, although there are many soldiers and horses on the city, the soldiers and horses in the rear are afraid of arrows and hesitate to advance, and the connection between the soldiers and horses is quite unsmooth, it seems that it must be the Han army's suspicious plan!"
Huang Zu was overjoyed and said: "Very good, it seems that there are not many real defenders in Nanxiang, give me a fierce attack, and take Nanxiang in one go!"
"Yes!" Wen Ping gave his hands to the order, led one by one Biao warriors, and personally attacked the city.
The Jingzhou soldiers attacked the city so fiercely, and the pressure on the city increased greatly, so under the suspicion, the Han army pretended to be by the people and delayed the Han army to defend the city. Liu Yu didn't look good, and said to the guard: "Replace the people with the other three gates, and replace them with real warriors to defend the city!" Otherwise, it won't last long! ”
"Okay, I'll go!" The guards hurriedly arranged, but after a while, all the people at the south gate were replaced, and the real Han army came to the south gate. In this way, the pressure on the gates was slightly reduced.
Huang Zu also noticed this situation, at this time Wen Ping had just been dismissed from the cloud ladder, Huang Zu said: "I saw the rotation of soldiers and horses in the city before, and now they are more brave, they should have replaced the people, so that the other three gates must be empty, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to attack the east gate!"
"No!" Wen Ping took the order and attacked the east gate with 3,000 soldiers and horses.
Seeing this, Fu Youde, who was above the city, hurriedly said: "Wen Ping will go to the east gate, and I will bring some people over to garrison!"
Huang Zu Wenpin is not a mediocre person, aware of this weakness of Nanxiang, he divided some soldiers and horses to attack the other three gates, the other three gates are all ordinary people, can not be held, the Han army will return to support. In this way, the defenses of the South Gate were weakened.
Fu Youde sent more than 200 people to the east gate, and Huang Zu was overjoyed when he saw this: "There are only 200 defenders at the south gate, and 3,000 people are being sent to attack the west gate!"
Since then, above the south gate of Nanxiang, the Nanxiang guard will send out more than 200 people to defend the west gate. The defenders of the south gate were reduced by half, and the pressure increased greatly. Seeing this, a general behind Huang Zu said: "General, there are only five or six hundred defenders in the city, let's send some men and horses to attack the north gate!"
Huang Zu waved his hand and refused: "No, in the division of troops, I don't have enough siege soldiers and horses here, so I can't put too much pressure on the south gate, so I ordered all the soldiers and horses to pounce on it, and attack the south gate with all my might!" Kill it with your soldiers and horses! ”
"No!" The Jingzhou generals listened to the order and led the soldiers and horses under the city to storm the south gate, and 14,000 soldiers and horses attacked the south gate like a tide. The pressure on the south gate increased greatly, and finally there were soldiers and horses to kill the city tower, but fortunately, Liu Yu was also a fierce general, holding a machete, slashing back and forth on the city wall. The soldiers defending the city smashed the corpses of the Jingzhou soldiers in the city as rolling stones to the ladder.
Under Liu Yu's defense, Jingzhou soldiers were dismissed from the city several times, and Huang Zu was furious when he saw this: "Hateful, why don't I have such fierce generals in Jingzhou?" Attack me, I'm bound to take Nanxiang tonight! ”
"General, it's getting dark, let's rest for one night, and let's attack the city again tomorrow morning!" One will persuade.
"That's right, it's dark, and it's very unfavorable for our army to attack the city!"
"The loss of our army has been two thousand, not to mention the march for a day, and the siege of the city for half a day, I am already exhausted, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties if I continue to attack!"
"It's a pity that such a great opportunity, let the soldiers retreat." The generals advised one after another, and Huang Zu reluctantly agreed, and the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou retreated from the ladder one after another, and set up camp under the city.
Seeing that the Jingzhou soldiers stopped attacking the city, the Han army breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers and horses rested in the city, and the people sent dry food, and the defenders in the city gnawed on the dry food with clear water. Liu Yu, Fu Youde and others gathered together, sent people to count the casualties, and the guard said: "It's only been half a day, and the 1,000 defenders in my city have already suffered more than 200 casualties, and only 800 are left, if it weren't for the courage of the two of you, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it tomorrow, and the Jingzhou soldiers will attack again tomorrow, but how can it be?"
Fu Youde also frowned and said, "I'm afraid tomorrow will be another fierce battle!"
"Defending the city today, thanks to the help of the people, if they are timid and afraid, but there are many brave people among them, you can choose some brave people among the people tonight to supplement the number of Han soldiers who died in battle!" Liu Yu on the side pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I'll go get ready!" The guard hurriedly got up and went down to mobilize the people, but after a while, he returned and said: "Today, the people have seen blood, but there are many species, and more than 300 people have expressed their willingness to come up and fight!"
Today, the people are just helping behind, carrying supplies and rescuing the wounded. Today's fighting is so fierce, most of the people are afraid of this situation, but these 300 people also expressed their willingness to come up and fight, that is, they are really not afraid of death.
The men and horses of the two sides rested for one night, and before dawn the next day, the Jingzhou soldiers began to attack the city again.
The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the blood under the city was flowing like a river, and it was still the same method as yesterday, with 3,000 people from each of the east and west gates on both sides, weakening the strength of the south gate, and other soldiers and horses focusing on attacking the south gate.
Jingzhou soldiers and horses were forced to retreat several times, but several times to attack the city, this time Wenpin took the lead in attacking the south gate, and the other two gates were attacked by Jingzhou generals. Stay until ten o'clock at noon, Wen Ping also killed the head of the city, and Liu Yu fought a big battle, although Wen Ping was not Liu Yu's opponent, but was entangled by Liu Yu Wen Ping, Jingzhou soldiers also had many take advantage of the situation to kill the city tower.
The situation of the Han army was precarious.
At this time, ten miles north of Nanxiang City, Yang Yansi finally led the troops to arrive, looking at Nanxiang from a distance, he heard a burst of shouting and killing, Yang Yansi said angrily: "If it weren't for the difficult road in Wuguan, I would have arrived a long time ago, and it would be the turn of Jingzhou soldiers to be powerful?"
"The infantry army is behind, all the cavalry in the army, follow me to kill the generals, and gallop to help Nanxiang!" Yang Yansi waved his hand and immediately rushed towards Nanxiang. Among the 8,000 soldiers and horses, there were many cavalry, and they immediately rushed out of more than 300 horsemen, closely following Yang Yansi.
But Yang Yansi was fast, driving the red dragon horse that Liu Wei exchanged for him from the system, and went straight to Nanxiang first, only to see a fiery red figure passing by, but after a while, Yang Yansi arrived at the north gate of Nanxiang City alone.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou at the north gate of Nanxiang, only a few hundred people, Huang Zu is to encircle the three and lack one, leaving a small number of soldiers and horses at the north gate, just to let the Han army in the city have a desire to live, and if they can't hold it, they will flee early. In this way, he can also occupy Nanxiang as soon as possible.
Hundreds of Jingzhou infantry troops, Yang Yansi didn't pay attention to it, and directly rushed over with his horse, and suddenly the Jingzhou soldiers screamed, and with a charge, Yang Yansi killed the Jingzhou soldiers at the north gate. The remaining Jingzhou soldiers fled towards the south gate.
"Ding, Yang Yansi's strong reinforcement attribute is on, single horse to support Nanxiang, force plus two, Yang Yansi's basic force is 99, Tiger Head Wujin Gun plus one, Red Dragon Horse plus one, current force 103!"
Kill the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou at the north gate, and more than 300 cavalry who followed Yang Yansi also rushed to the horseback, Yang Yansi ordered: "You leave 200 cavalry to occupy the north gate, waiting for the main force to enter the city, and the other 100 cavalry will follow me to the south gate to meet this group of miscellaneous people."
After speaking, Yang Yansi went straight to the south gate.
When the Han army in the city saw the reinforcements arrive, they were all overjoyed and wept with joy. Three hundred cavalry guarded the north gate, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the infantry army, ready to enter the city and defend it.
Yang Yansi was ready to go to the south gate, but he still had to pass through the east gate, or the west gate, Yang Yansi was walking on the west gate, at this time, under the west gate, Jingzhou's three thousand soldiers and horses were attacking the city, and there were not many soldiers and horses under the city.
"Rush me, kill me on the tower!" Under the city, the Jingzhou soldiers corrected and commanded the soldiers to attack the city, and Yang Yansi led his troops to kill him. Turning his head and seeing Yang Yansi rushing towards him, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Who is it?"
"I am the Great Han Tiger Guard General Yang Yansi!" Yang Yansi shouted, and the horse came to the front of him and stabbed the general under the horse with a shot. Yang Yansi turned his head to look at the city, and saw that on a wall, Jingzhou soldiers were climbing the ladder. Yang Yansi laughed loudly and rushed to the bottom of the city, waving the tiger-headed black gold spear to block the arrows, but at the same time came to the bottom of the cloud ladder.
Seeing this, the defenders in the city did not dare to release the arrows, for fear of injuring Yang Yansi, Yang Yansi moved the spear in his hand, killing the Jingzhou soldiers under the city, and picking up the cloud ladder. There were a lot of Jingzhou soldiers on the ladder, and more than a dozen people on a ladder also lost Yang Yansi's natural divine power to overturn the ladder, and the Jingzhou soldiers on the ladder suddenly fell down the city and fell into pulp.
As soon as Yang Yansi said a word, he overturned the dozens of ladders on the wall, and if he couldn't pick it up, he cut off the spear and cut off the ladder. The ladder was tilted, but the Jingzhou soldiers who climbed it were killed countless times.
The lord will be killed by Yang Yansi, and most of the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses are on the cloud ladder, but Yang Yansi will be leaning on the cloud ladder in the city according to this method.
Many Jingzhou soldiers fell to death, and the others were afraid of Yang Yansi's courage and did not dare to step forward, so they all went to the south gate to report to Huang Zu.
More than 3,000 soldiers and horses half fled, and most of them were killed by the collapse of the ladder, Yang Yansi led more than 100 cavalry to kill the Jingzhou soldiers under the city, and went straight to the south gate.
