At the end of the day, Xu Ren led more than 200 people and more than 400 people led by Xu Zhen successfully converged, and under the rain of pouring arrows, Xu Ren took over the command of the team again.

"You're doing a great job." Xu Ren patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder and praised: "Even if I am present, I guess I can't do better." Looking at the horse corpse positions in front of him, looking at the five or six roads that had been filled in on the moat, and looking at the handsome and dashing Xu Zhen in front of him, Xu Ren couldn't help but thank God in his heart: "Thank you, thief God, thank you for giving me such an extraordinary lieutenant." ”

"If you want any reward, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." Xu Ren promised.

"General Xie, I really don't dare to be arrogant." Xu Zhen didn't dare to say anything, and humbly refused.

"This is what you deserve, since you don't ask for it now, let me owe you a promise, in the future, as long as you think of what you want, come to me, I will do my best." Xu Ren said with a big grin.

"By the way, General, this is the current station loss of our army according to the statistics of the last general. Our army set out from the rear camp with 721 soldiers and 800 horses, and today there are still 551 soldiers and 50 horses, and 170 soldiers were killed in battle, and all the horses were lost. Xu Zhen skipped the topic of rewards and reported the battle damage to Xu Ren in detail.

"How many injuries and illnesses are among the more than 500 people." When it came to the war, Xu Ren became serious again, and he asked with a straight face.

"General, there are about four hundred soldiers who can still fight at the moment." Xu Zhen thought about it for a while, and then gave a rough figure.

"Although four hundred men can fight under the city, the number is too small after all, and the army in the rear is not enough to support us with arrow fire, and even if we reach the city, I am afraid that by then we will be almost wiped out. What we have to do now is to nail it here, as soon as the rear reinforcement arrives, at least a thousand men, we will fight under the city, clear the way ahead, and then wait for the rear armaments to be transported, and we can attack the city. Xu Ren analyzed, "There are too few roads on the moat, and we have to fill in five more roads." And these repulsion rifles behind us, they will affect the advance of the rear army, and we will also clean them out and throw them into the moat. These two things are the most important things we need to do at the moment, and you should quickly arrange for someone to do it well. ”

Xu Ren changed his previous temper and made up his mind to be crucified here, his approach turned the defenders of Pengcheng from an advantage to a disadvantage, and his approach gave the besieging side a position to transfer troops. In the next war, no matter how many times the besieging side was repulsed, it was able to quickly reorganize its troops and horses to attack again, which was all thanks to Xu Ren's idea at this time.

In an instant, the rejecting horse gun array behind Xu Ren had disappeared, and in front of Xu Ren's eyes, ten roads crossed the moat, each about 200 meters apart. At this time, the battle situation also changed significantly, Xu Yu's 1,000 soldiers and horses also arrived at the moat to join him smoothly, and the rear array was also stepping on the thistle area, not far from the moat. After more than two hours of fighting, at the cost of hundreds of lives, the besieging side was about to push the defending forces down from a superior position, and there was a brief balance of offensive and defensive momentum between the two sides.

"Second brother, it's great that you're still alive. Little brother, I am here to help you on the orders of my eldest brother. As soon as Xu Yu saw Xu Ren, he immediately said excitedly.

"It's great to see you here." Xu Ren hugged Xu Yu, God knows how much pressure he has been under from the beginning of the war to the present. Xu Ren hugged Xu Yan, with tears in his eyes, unable to speak for a long time.

"General, the repulsion of horses and guns has been cleared, and the ten cross-river roads on the moat have been built. Now that the morale of the generals has recovered, the lowly post has come to ask the generals whether we should cross the river and attack. When Xu Ren was exchanging heartfelt feelings with Xu Yan, Xu Ren's deputy Xu Zhen ran in front of Xu Ren, reported the latest situation to him, and interrupted Xu Ren's conversation with Xu Yu.

Xu Ren secretly wiped away his tears, hid the fragile side of his heart, and asked Xu Yu with a straight face: "Fifth brother, how many people did you bring this time?" ”

"So that the second brother knows that there are not many troops I brought this time, there are about 300 cavalry and 500 foot warriors, but the younger brother I guarantee that these people are the elite of the elite, they can almost all be one against five, with their strength, anyone who stands in front of them will be destroyed by the withering and decaying." Xu Yu is not very old, and he still has a little bit of a child's heart, he replied proudly.

"One against five?" Xu Ren showed a look of disbelief at first, and then he seemed to suddenly understand something, and he said his speculation to Xu Yu: "You brought the eldest brother's personal guards. ”

Xu Yu nodded, and then said, "Big Brother handed over all his personal guard battalions to me. When Xu Ren heard this, his heart once again rippled.

Xu Yan's personal guard battalion was second only to Xu Ba's 300 guards in terms of elite, and far surpassed the personal guard battalion of the rest of the five Xu brothers. The good men in Xu Yan's personal guard camp were all personally selected by Xu Ba from the whole army, and Xu Ba did this to distinguish Xu Yan from his brothers, so as to determine the identity of Xu Yan's heir. These good boys are the elite of the real elite, and being able to out-of-five is the minimum selection criteria set when selecting them. In recent years, the limelight of Xu Yan's personal guard battalion has faded a lot, so when Xu Yu mentioned that one enemy was five, Xu Ren didn't expect the existence of this team for a while, and then, it didn't take long for Xu Ren to think of this once infinitely brilliant team.

"Are you sure?" Xu Ren asked again. Xu Yan's personal guard battalion has always been by Xu Yan's side, he is the strongest line of defense by Xu Yan's side, Xu Ren can't believe that Xu Yan will hand it over to himself.

Xu Yu nodded again to show confirmation, Xu Ren was shocked, and he secretly swore in his heart: "Big brother, since you have believed me, I will definitely not live up to your expectations, I have taken this city."

After silently finishing his oath, Xu Ren immediately ordered Xu Zhen: "Xu Zhen, you first arrange the troops that came to support, and then let all the soldiers eat and drink enough, have a good rest, and finally send a few people to inform General Xu Yan in the rear army array,

Let's just say I hope he can give us the support of arrows. Xu Ren believed that as long as the rear of ten thousand arrows fired in unison and suppressed the crossbowmen in the city, under the cover of arrows, he would definitely be able to hit the city and make there be no more traps outside the city walls, becoming a smooth road for men and horses to gallop.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the Chinese military camp of the rear army camp, Xu Fu and Xu Ji were telling Wang Jian about their request. "Strategist, the battle in Dongcheng is very hard, we have suffered heavy casualties, and now we have formed a scorching situation, we hope you can go to Dongcheng to help us." Xu Fu said sincerely.

Xu Ba, who was sitting at the top, also interjected when he heard this: "The kid is not a weapon, and I ask the military advisor to take care of him." ”

"Since Brother Xu has spoken, it's hard for me to refuse, so I'll go with the two sons!" Wang Jian didn't say anything, he got up from his seat, summoned his personal guard, and then whispered a few words: "Wang Zhi, you go to my camp tent immediately, tell my 20 personal guards, and let them gather in front of the camp gate immediately." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qian's personal guards walked out of the camp without hesitation, and Wang Jian also made a gesture to leave. At this moment, Xu Ba opened his mouth and asked, "The military advisor wants me to allocate 100 men and horses for you to protect you along the road." “

Wang Jian postponed and said: "No need, Brother Xu, the soldiers and horses in your hands can no longer be mobilized, these 500 soldiers and horses are our killer weapon, and we must not lose." We have 500 outgoing spies out there, and I can call them in for emergencies. The team led by the three Peng brothers is not a weak brigade, and it is enough to protect me from the battlefield in Dongcheng.

"Then I'm relieved. Take care. Xu Ba stroked his beard and said flatly.

"Brother Xu, I'm leaving." Xu Ren arched his hand, and then walked straight to the tent.

Wang Qian's personal guards were all elites brought from the Qin State, and when Wang Jian walked to the camp gate, more than 20 people had already completed the formation at the camp gate.

"I don't want to say much, go to the battlefield to make contributions." Wang Jian decisively ordered.

Meritorious service in the war is the only way for the people of Qin to improve their social status, so most of the Qin soldiers are happy when they hear about the war, and these 20 or so people are no exception, they shout "Meritorious!" Knighted! Unswervingly walked towards the battlefield.

Wang Jian was also infected by the enthusiasm of his subordinates, and he shouted loudly and promised the plaque: "Whoever bathes blood with me today, he is my brother." ”

On the way to the battlefield, Wang Jian gathered more than 50 sentry detectives along the way, and under the protection of his own soldiers and sentry agents, Wang Jian came to the Dongcheng battlefield at two moments. At this moment, the crossbow array under the city is still firing arrows continuously, Xu Yan is leading more than 2,000 people to continue to move forward, on the iron area, nearly three or four hundred people stayed there, counterattacking the city with the crossbow in their hands, suppressing the defensive position of the defenders in the city for a while, and among the forward troops, Xu Ren also led more than 1,000 people to start crossing the moat and began a powerful offensive. And the defending side is ready. The war entered its first mini-climax.
