At present, the war is urgent, and Lejin can't take care of Xue Rengui for the time being, so he immediately dispatched 10,000 horses out to garrison the newly established camp in the four directions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There are 10,000 soldiers and horses and 5,000 county soldiers stationed in Zhuoxian County, and the equipment to defend the city has been prepared.

Le Jin estimated that Yan Liang's army was about to arrive, so he returned to Zhuo County, closed the city gate and waited for Yan Liang's army to attack. Liu Yu Lejin and the others were all waiting on the South Gate City, but in half an hour, they saw tens of thousands of soldiers and horses coming from afar.

"Sure enough, as Xue Rengui expected, he was right, Wen Qian, are you sure to hold the county seat?" Liu Yu's face was solemn as he watched the tens of thousands of troops coming towards Zhuo County, and asked towards Lejin.

"Zhuo County is still strong, the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, although Yan Liang's army has 40,000, it should not be a problem to defend the county seat. It's just that I don't know if Yan Liang will divide and attack or concentrate his forces to attack one door! Le Jin said in a deep voice.

"What's the difference?" Liu Yu wondered.

"If they divide and attack, their forces will be scattered, while our army will be exactly four gates, and it will not be crowded or insufficient. With the four camps outside the gate, they attacked at the right time, and it was relatively easy for us to defend the city. But if they concentrate on attacking one gate, the pressure on our army will increase, because we only have so many soldiers waiting on the city tower. But they will also suffer heavy casualties, but it will be inconvenient for the camp outside the city to attack them, if Yan Liang uses human lives to fill it, maybe he will really attack the city tower. ”

"But if they concentrate on attacking one door, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, most of them will not be like this, don't worry, my lord!" Le Jin waved his hand and comforted.

However, what Liu Yu didn't find was the solemnity in the depths of Le Jin's eyes, and Le Jin knew in his heart that Yan Liang's army didn't have much time, and in the end, if he could come to Zhuoxian County, he would definitely be determined to take Zhuoxian. Besiege? It won't be long before Di Qing's army returns, and Yan Liang will definitely try his best to take Zhuo County.

This time to defend the city, it will be tragic, Lejin is just for stability! lived in Liu Yu, so he deliberately said so. Yan Liang's soldiers and horses under the city swept overwhelmed, and Yan Liang came to the city to urge him to step forward: "Liu Yu, you reneged on the covenant, sheltered my Jizhou traitor Ju Yi, and handed over Ju Yi, otherwise the day the city is broken, the blame will be ruthless."

"Hmph, Yuan Shao's wolf ambition, now that he has committed my Youzhou, he will definitely make you come and go, and if you have the courage, let the horse come!" Liu Yu also stood on the city and scolded.

Now Youzhou is Liu Bian's, Liu Biao is the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao's heart to chase the world is also obvious. Yuan Shao is now coming to attack Youzhou, where will Liu Yu have a good temper?

Liu Yu has always been known for being a good person, but now he suddenly became so hard that Yan Liang was stunned, and said with a cold smile: "After you break the city, you are hard, don't blame me when the time comes......"

"Shut up!" Yan Lianggang wanted to put a few cruel words, saying something to scare Liu Yu by slaughtering the city, but Guo Tu on the side hurriedly stopped and scolded in a low voice: "Liu Yu is a little wrong, he was weak and bulliful before, and I don't know why he is so tough today." But don't say anything about slaughtering the city, or they will unite to defend the city! ”

"Our army occupies the righteousness, let the soldiers shout and scold their troops, and send people to build siege ladders to concentrate on the south gate to attack the city!" Guo Tuhan said.

"As soon as you come up, you will concentrate your forces to attack the south gate?" Yan Liang was surprised when he heard this.

"Our army didn't bring much, we can't wait long, not to mention that there are not many siege equipment, what's the use of scattering attacks? Only by concentrating troops and horses to attack one can it be possible to take Zhuoxian! Guo Tu said in a deep voice.

Yan Liang was puzzled: "In this way, our soldiers and horses will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"What about the heavy casualties? If Zhuo County is taken, Youzhou will also be in hand, what is the death and wounding of some soldiers? Guo Tu sneered.

Looking at Guo Tu's cold smile, Yan Liang shuddered, although he was also from a family, but he fought with the soldiers, and he also had some feelings, and he used the soldier's life to take Zhuo County, Yan Liang was somewhat reluctant. But Guo Tu is a pure son of a family, with the appearance of a weak scholar, but the lives of these soldiers are no different from pigs and dogs in his eyes, and he is really ruthless.

Yan Liang took a breath and nodded: "Di Qing's soldiers and horses in Yuyang will be able to come back in a few days, so let's attack and take Zhuoxian with human lives!"

The two pulled their horses back, and made the sharp-toothed soldiers come forward to scold the formation, and abused Liu Yu on the grounds of betraying the covenant, sheltering Ju Yi and other crimes, wanting to lower the morale of the soldiers with righteousness. Taking advantage of this time, Yan Liang sent soldiers and horses to build a ladder and prepare to attack the city.

Yuan Shao's army scolded under the city, but the regular army above the city tower had been training for a few years and had a normal mentality, and Yuan Shao's army was an invader after all. Yan Liang's army wanted to use righteousness to hit the morale of the Youzhou army, but it didn't have much effect after all.

However, in half an hour, Yan Liang's army built dozens of siege ladders, but they moved to the south gate one after another, looking at this posture, Liu Yu's face changed instantly: "What's the matter with Wen Qian, Yan Liang's posture is to attack the south gate with all his might?" How so? ”

Le Jin took a breath and said: "They are desperate to fill with human lives, this time it must be a vicious battle, make you, there are no eyes on the city gate, you retreat from the city tower first, I want to defend the city tower!"

"Kill, take Zhuoxian!"

An overwhelming shout sounded, and Yan Liang's army under the city also attacked.

On the city tower, Le Jin ordered: "They are desperate to capture the south gate, but we can't stay at the south gate with so many soldiers, the south gate retains 3,000 soldiers, 10,000 regular soldiers and horses are left with 7,000 people and 3,000 people to prepare about it, once the south gate men and horses are lost, you will come up to replenish, and the remaining 1,000 regular soldiers and horses and 2,000 county soldiers will go to the north gate to garrison." The remaining soldiers are left to transport the equipment to defend the city! ”

"No, General!" The generals gave up their orders.

"Let's unite as one, we must defend Zhuoxian!" Le Jin shouted in a deep voice.

"Defend the city with one heart!" All the soldiers also shouted. Previously, Yan Liang's soldiers and horses wasted all their thoughts to suppress the morale of the Youzhou army, but now they are inspired by Lejin, and the morale of the Youzhou army is greatly shocked.

Yuan's soldiers and horses put the ladder on the city wall, and attacked the city wall overwhelmingly in the shouting of killing.

The sound of shouting and killing instantly resounded for several miles, and the arrows above and below the city were overwhelming. Yuan Shao's army climbed up the ladder and climbed towards the city tower with shields one by one. And above the city tower, the golden juice and rolling stones kept falling, blasting towards Yuan Jun on the cloud ladder.

The screams were endless, but the Yuan army was still the majority, and the arrows under the city were shot at the city tower, which still had some advantages for the defenders of the city.

But the Yuan army had an advantage in numbers, and Yan Liang was willing to fill it with human lives, but after a while, the corpses of more than a thousand Yuan soldiers fell under the city.

"Rush me! If you take the lead, you must attack me! Yan Liang was violent, and ordered his generals to take the lead in the charge.

Several generals gritted their teeth and went into battle, and some generals led the soldiers to fight more fiercely, with the charge of Yuan's army who was not afraid of death. The pressure on the head of the city gradually increased, the Yuan army had the advantage in numbers, and the soldiers under the city shot at each other, and a Yuan army fell from the ladder, and the soldiers behind followed closely behind.

At the beginning, the Youzhou army was able to control the climbing height of the Yuan army in the middle of the cloud ladder, and as time went by, many generals of the Youzhou army on the city tower were shot by stray arrows because of discarding stones, and the formation gradually became disordered. Although there were soldiers to replenish it, the speed of attacking Yuan's army gradually slowed down. Yuan Jun's climbing height was also gradually able to climb from the middle of the ladder to a position close to the city wall.

Time goes by, and it gets dark, but so what? Even if the line of sight is unclear, it does not affect Yan Liang's determination to take Zhuo County. What's more, when the sky is dark and the vision is unclear, the role of the bow and arrow on the city defender on the city tower is greatly reduced.

The night continued to fight, and the Youzhou soldiers on the city tower were already exhausted, although there were soldiers from both sides to supplement and rotate to rest, but there was no advantage that the Yuan soldiers could rest more.

With this advantage, Yuan Jun climbed up to the city in the middle of the night. However, in the dark night, the vision is not clear, and it is impossible to join forces with friendly forces to occupy the castle tower, so let the city soldiers go to the city. Although they climbed up to the city, they were all killed by the Youzhou army.

As for the role of several camps outside the city, it was mainly used to disperse the siege and prevent the Yuan army from plundering the people. Now the Yuan army gathered a force to attack the south gate, although the soldiers in the camp tried to attack out of the camp, but the soldiers and horses in Yancheng were repelled by the cavalry arranged.

The shouting and killing continued for most of the night, and in the city in the assassination mansion, Liu Yu was so anxious that he turned around, listening to the shouting and killing, Liu Yu was deeply afraid that Zhuo County would be taken by Yuan's army. It doesn't matter if he dies, but if Zhuoxian County is broken, Liu Wei's careful arrangement will fall short.

"How's the situation in the city?" The sky gradually brightened, Liu Yu was worried, and summoned an attendant to ask.

"Yuan Jun climbed the city tower several times, but he was repelled by General Lejin several times, so that you can rest assured that General Lejin will definitely defend the city desperately!"

"Exploring!" Liu Yu waved his hand and walked back and forth in the room!

Suddenly, Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he thought of what Xue Rengui said yesterday: "If you make you trustworthy, Xue Mou leads the troops out of the city to behead Yan Liang, and General Le Jin leads the troops out of the city, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Yuan army!"

Gritting his teeth, Liu Yu muttered, "I'll believe you once!"

As he spoke, Liu Yu walked towards the prison. But after a while, Liu Yu rushed to the prison, and Xue Rengui and his four brothers were locked in a cell, with heavy soldiers outside the door.

"Envoy, the shouting of killing outside the city shook the sky, isn't it Yan Liang's army concentrating troops and horses to attack one gate?" Xue Rengui saw Liu Yu and hurriedly got up and asked.

"Yes, do you have a solution?" Liu Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

Xue Rengui pondered, bowed down and said, "Please let me out, now Yan Liang's army is desperate, and it is not a strategy that can solve it." I am confident in my archery skills and is unparalleled in the world, if I go out to defend the city, Xue is confident that Zhuo County is as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Liu Yu looked at Xue Rengui, nodded after a long time, and said, "Okay, the official will let you out, but your brothers can't go out yet, don't let the official down."

"Thank you, sir!" Xue Rengui arched his hand to Liu Yu and said to Zhou Qing and the others: "You guys are so good to stay here, I'll go out to defend the city!"

"Big brother, take care!"

Xue Rengui nodded, followed Liu Yu out of the prison and received Fang Tian's painting halberd, and went to the south gate on the heaven-shaking bow.

On the city wall, there were already many Yuan troops who came to the city and fought with the Youzhou army. This is as if there is a gap in the embankment, this gap will get bigger and bigger, and more and more Yuan troops will attack the city, which will affect the Youzhou army to defend the city, as if it is a domino effect, and it will become out of control.

"Xue Rengui again!" Xue Rengui came to the city, and immediately raised Fang Tian's halberd and went towards Yuan Jun to kill. The Yuan army, which was killed with the Youzhou army and was evenly matched, was under Xue Rengui's Fang Tian painting halberd, as if it was a local chicken and a tile dog, and every time Fang Tian's painting halberd waved, a Yuan army fell into the city.

With Xue Rengui's joining, but in a moment's effort, with Xue Rengui's assistance, Xue Rengui killed from one side of the city gate to the other side of the city gate, and the Yuan army in the city disappeared.

As soon as Xue Rengui came out, Yuan Jun's efforts for a night suddenly came to naught. (To be continued.) )
