In the middle of the night, on the Yangqu city wall, the soldiers who had fought hard for a day slept in their clothes.

Xu Da was patrolling the city when he suddenly received a report that the scouts sent by General Yang Yanzhao had arrived in the west of the city.

Yanmen scout?

Could it be that Yang Yanzhao's reinforcements are coming?

Immediately he ordered the hanging baskets to be lowered, and the people to come were dragged up to the city.

Yang Yanzhao's reinforcements are marching rapidly, and it is expected to arrive in Yangqu tomorrow morning. Send scouts in advance to discuss with the Yangqu guards how to coordinate to defend against the enemy.

Reinforcements are coming, and Xu Da is overjoyed.

It's just that Yang Yanzhao's department only has more than 1,000 people. Assist in defense, which can protect the yang song.

However, even if the troops were combined, the number was still inferior to the Jizhou army. Yangqu is worry-free, but Yuxian and Wolf Meng are still in danger. Only by quickly repelling the Zhang He Department of Jizhou can the passage to rescue Yuxian and Wolf Meng be opened.

In this regard, Xu Da has long planned.

It's just that although Xu Da is the commander of Yangqu's defense, he is only a small team leader, how can he give orders to Yang Yanzhao?

There needs to be the right person to convey the intention of coordinated operations to Yang Yanzhao in a tactful way.

Xu Da came to the county office.

In order to defend the city, the Yangqu County Ya was demolished like an archaeological remain. Mu Shan, the acting county commander, sat in the lobby without a ceiling and without four walls, guarding a pile of paperwork and materials, and was secretly complaining.

Seeing Xu Da, Mu Shan beat his spirit and stood up.

"Our Yangqu County Ya has quite an ancient legacy!" Xu Da can even make jokes.

Mu Shan wanted to show a smile, but the smile was more ugly than crying.

"Xu has a great merit and wants to give it to the county order, is the county order willing to accept it?"

The reason why Mu Shan was favored by Li Xiucheng and became the acting county commander was naturally not stupid. As soon as Xu Da spoke, Mu Shan knew that trouble was coming again!

"Mu has already been released, just say it."

"Captain Li, are you familiar with it?"

Listening to Xu Da talk about Li Xiucheng, Mu Shan had some spirits. "Familiar, familiar, that's my brother."

Xu Da nodded. "Li Duwei and I mentioned you, and I am also Li Duwei's brother."

Mu Shan was an enthusiastic person, and immediately took Xu Da's hand as if he had seen a long-lost relative. "My brother's brother is also my brother! Tell me something! ”

This is said in a logical and confusing way, but it is more enthusiastic.

Xu Da also patted the back of Mu Shan's hand affectionately. "Before I came to Yangqu, my brother commanded."

"What did our brother say?"

"My brother said, in Yangqu, you are the most trustworthy person."

When Mu Shan heard this, he was so excited that he stood up. "Thank you, brother!"

"My brother has an important matter for you to do."

"It's incumbent!"

"You followed General Yanzhao's scouts, rushed back to the barracks overnight, and conveyed our brother's words to General Yanzhao." Xu Da whispered to Mu Shan in a low voice.

Mu Shan listened very carefully and kept nodding his head vigorously.

"Don't worry, brother!"

……

Although Yang Yanzhao and Li Xiucheng were both appointed by Liu Mang as lieutenants, they each led an army. However, Li Xiucheng commanded the three counties of Jingcheng, and Yang Yanzhao brought troops to help, but he also had to be controlled by Li Xiucheng.

Xu Dajun's rank was too low, and he was worried that Yang Yanzhao would not obey his command. Therefore, Yang Yanzhao would not have any other ideas if he pretended to be Li Xiucheng's plan and conveyed it from the mouth of the Yangqu County Order.

……

It's dawn.

Under the shroud of mist, on the Yangqu city wall, the traces of yesterday's gunpowder smoke loomed, like an ink painting.

It's just that everyone inside and outside the city knows that the real battle is about to begin, and more blood will be spilled on the ink painting scroll; The tranquility is about to be broken by the shouting and fighting.

"Brothers." Li Xiucheng stood at the head of Yangqu City and stretched out his hand to the Jizhou military camp outside the city.

"Under the city, there are five times our Jizhou soldiers. After a while, the real battle will begin, and what I want to say to my brothers is that Yangqu City will never be conquered! Victory must be ours! Reinforcements are coming! The enemy will be crushed in no time! ”

The Yangqu warriors had long been determined to die, but they also knew that with their remaining strength, they could not resist the strongest attack of the Jizhou army.

"Brothers, I assure you, as long as we can hold out until noon, reinforcements will arrive! Come! Xu Da shouted, "Remove the banner of Li Duwei!" ”

Xu Da pointed to the bare flagpole. "As soon as the sun rises and the shadow of the flagpole fades, reinforcements will arrive! Brothers, stick to Yangqu! ”

Yangqu warriors, seeing hope in despair, passion is ignited again.

"Stick to Yangqu!" Yangqu warriors, let out a deafening roar!

……

Under the city, the Jizhou military camp is also making final preparations.

After a night's rest, the Jizhou army has also recovered its fighting spirit.

After breakfast, the tent was up. In today's battle, the city must be broken!

"Soldiers, tonight, we are going to rest in Yangqu City!"

"Roar!" The morale of the Jizhou army was not inferior to the Yangqu defenders.

The various troops in Jizhou had already been lined up and reassembled, just waiting for the commander Zhang He to give the final order to attack.

"General, look!"

Zhang He looked at Yangqu City, and saw that Li Xiucheng's general flag had been removed, and a young general stood at the head of the city.

"Jizhou Army! Zhang He! The young general roared loudly, it was Xu Da.

Zhang He raised his hand violently, and the Jizhou army quickly quieted down, silent.

Xu Da's shout came from afar, and it was clearly audible: "Zhang He! To tell you the truth, Li Duwei is not in Yangqu at all! I, Xu Da, am just a small team leader under Li Duwei's account, and I am ordered to garrison this city! However, as long as I, Xu Da and my brothers, Yangqu City will never be conquered! ”

"People are in the city!" The roar of the Yangqu defenders strongly stimulated Zhang He, Zhang He's cheeks kept shaking, and the iron gun in his hand was almost pinched off!

However, Zhang He still endured it and didn't say a word.

The eyes of all the soldiers in Jizhou were all on Zhang He, waiting for him to give the order to attack the city.

Zhang He is also waiting, he has to wait for the return of the scouts from all walks of life.

"Report!" Jiang Qi, who feinted to attack Yuxian, finally sent scouts, "Li Xiucheng and the main force of the Yanmen army are still in Yuxian, and they have been pinned down by our army!" ”

Zhang He nodded slightly.

"Report!" The scouts from the north and south rushed back again. Just like yesterday, in the mountains and forests on both sides, only the Yanmen banner was seen, and there was no shadow of Yanmen reinforcements.

The corners of Zhang He's eyes jumped a few times.

The enemy is really cunning! Under the pretense of Li Xiucheng's banner and the use of suspicious tactics, Zhang He did not dare to go out and launched a strong attack on Yangqu.

And now, everything is clear. Although there was some delay, there was nothing to stop Zhang He from launching the most violent attack.

"Boy! Your suspicious tactics are useless! Zhang He finally burst out with a roar, a big gun in his hand, and struggled to Yangqu City, "The whole army attacked, swear to break Yangqu!" ”

"Rush, ......"

The Jizhou army is rolling towards Yangqu City......
