In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the night in Youzhou is particularly cold.

The soldiers on Jicheng were full of tiredness, yawning from time to time, and the breath they exhaled turned into a white mist. Rao is that they are all wearing cotton clothes, but their feet are also frozen and frozen, and they stomp their feet from time to time and curse a few words.

"Damn, it's such a cold weather, freeze to death this group of thieves!" A soldier scolded viciously.

"When Daihou's reinforcements arrive, Lao Tzu will have to kill a few out of the city to relieve his hatred!" Another soldier also scolded hatefully.

"Alas...... Now Youzhou is attacked on three sides, Dai Hou has always implemented the policy of elite soldiers, the number of troops is only tens of thousands, and they have all been dispersed, I am afraid that there are not many troops to come back, even if Bai Ma Yi is sent back, it can't be one as ten...... "Someone sighed pessimistically.

"Since the Daihou led the army, he has not tasted a defeat, the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people and the Gongsun Du back then, which one is not more than 50,000 cavalry? The result? The prince is a god descended into the world, how can he be taken lightly? "Some, however, are full of faith.

"I'm afraid...... I'll not be able to hold out until the Marquis returns. A Wu Chang said worriedly.

The whole city fell silent.

The defenders of Jicheng are only 3,000, and in the face of more than ten times the enemy, it is really unknown whether they can hold it until tomorrow.

Thundered~

An earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded under the city, like a river pouring down the ground, and the whole ground trembled, startling the Youzhou defenders on the city tower in chaos.

"The enemy army is attacking at night, quickly blow the trumpet~" The castle guard shouted loudly.

Woo woo woo~

The trumpets on the tower of the city sounded,

The defenders raised their crossbows, set up their trenches, and prepared to release their arrows, and the soldiers in charge of the rocks and logs were ready to go.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Fei, who was in charge of guarding at night, also hurriedly rushed up to the city tower with a knife, strode to the middle of the city tower, and lit countless bright torches behind him, illuminating the city dozens of steps down.

I saw countless Bingzhou cavalry surging under the city like a tide. The soldiers in the front row, each with a large shield in their hands, followed by a dense cavalry like a dark cloud, were about to rush to the city.

"What the hell are these people from Bingzhou doing? He didn't even bring siege equipment, so he rushed down to the city. Do they want to fly up? A military marquis beside him saw the fame.

Bang bang bang~

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry who rushed to the city tower suddenly threw a cloud of black things in their hands and threw it to the city, and then quickly withdrew to both sides, and then the cavalry rushing behind them also followed suit, throwing out a cloud of black shadows. Withdraw to both sides.

"It's dirt bags, they want to pile up dirt and attack the city!" Yan Fei was shocked.

The siege of the city is indeed suitable for the extremely fast cavalry, with the assistance of horsepower, the transportation speed is fast, and the speed of delivery is also fast, but in the blink of an eye, a layer of earth bags were laid on the ground on both sides of the city gate under the city head.

"What the hell is it, shoot it for Lao Tzu!" Yan Fei scolded viciously.

Woo Woo Woo ~ Crossbow arrows rained down, but the defenders under the city tower braved the rain of arrows. Still desperately throwing dirt bags under the city, the dirt bags under the city tower are thrown more and more, and gradually piled up more than one person high.

However, the rain of arrows on the city tower became more and more violent, and the Bingzhou cavalry behind them no longer came, and they retreated one after another, and Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Boom boom boom~

When the defenders who were anxious to be on the city tower were relieved, suddenly dozens of black shadows burst from the sky and went straight to the city tower with a huge wind sound.

"Trebuchet, hide!" Someone exclaimed.

Huge boulders burst in, some smashing on the city walls. Some even flew over the city to the city, and a small part smashed into the Youzhou army on the city tower, and the screams were loud.

Just as the defenders were so frightened that they were lying on their stomachs to avoid the boulders, the sound of horses' hooves under the castle tower was loud again. Rushing in like a tide.

By the time the defenders raised their heads and were ready to release their arrows, the Bingzhou cavalry who had thrown the dirt bags had already galloped back, and then the trebuchets fired stones and bombarded the city.

In this way, a slope was piled up under the castle tower, and the slope was piled up. Those soldiers who merged with the state no longer simply threw dirt bags, but half of them threw earth bags, and half of them were sandwiched in the cavalry group and shot arrows at the city tower to suppress the city tower.

When the slope of Jicheng was piled up to more than two zhang high, the defenders on the city tower and the defenders on the city tower had become even in attack, and the black and suppressed Bingzhou cavalry were copying the city head and releasing arrows, while methodically piling up dirt bags, piling up the passage under the city tower higher and higher.

On the tower of the city, Wu Ming had already arrived with reinforcements, and almost more than eighty percent of the defenders of Youzhou had gathered over, desperately shooting crossbow arrows at the city.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Yan Fei was furious, and hissed and ordered his subordinates to release arrows at the city.

Shout~

A sharp arrow was shooting into the shoulder of Yan Fei, who was roaring loudly, and the shoulder penetrated into the flesh and bones, and Yan Fei almost fell to the ground in pain, and a wave of endless sadness surged into his heart, at this moment he knew that this Jicheng was determined to be unable to defend it.

Yan Fei pulled out the arrow on his shoulder fiercely, and blood rushed out in an instant, but he didn't realize it, turned around and shouted angrily to Wu Ming: "Wu Ming, you fucking retreat from the south gate with the Taifu family, here Lao Tzu is on top, don't mistake the Taifu!" ”

Wu Ming hurriedly said: "You are fucking injured, let Lao Tzu guard here, you go and take the Taifu to retreat!" ”

"Get out of your mother, when Lao Tzu was a military marquis, you were still a hundred generals, when will it be your turn to command Lao Tzu? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you! Yan Fei scolded angrily.

Wu Ming no longer insisted, and hugged Yan Fei: "Lao Yan, Lao Tzu will go first, don't be too reckless, if you can't stand it, retreat, Lao Tzu is waiting for you to drink in Yicheng!" ”

After speaking, he led hundreds of Youzhou soldiers to run down the city tower.

The mound of earth is piled higher and higher, and most of the defenders of Youzhou on the city tower have been killed and wounded, and the rest can only lie under the battlements and shoot arrows below, and no one dares to come out from the battlements, so that the speed of the state army to fill the city is faster.

With the rapid increase in the height of the slope, the defenders on the city tower died one after another, and there were only a few hundred of more than two thousand defenders left, and Yan Fei had already been hit by six or seven arrows all over his body, although it was not a vital point, but it was also bloody, but he still kept throwing arrows downward.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows in the quiver had been exhausted, he groped around, found another wolf's tooth arrow, loaded the crossbow, and shot a fierce arrow at a military horse who rushed forward.

The power of the seven-stone rhubarb crossbow. How can it be compared to an ordinary bow and arrow, only the sound of breaking through the air can be heard, and the arrow is like a meteor, hitting the chest of the military Sima. The strong strength broke through the protection of the thick armor, and came out through the chest, and the army Sima Deng fell to the city.

Yuan Tan under the city tower was furious and shouted: "Nobody." How dare you be so arrogant! ”

After speaking, he urged the horse to get off his hip, rode up the slope, stood in the crowd, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot away with an arrow at Yan Fei, who had just emerged on the battlement.

Burst!

The arrow hit Yan Fei's face, and the seven-stone crossbow fell suddenly, and Yan Fei's majestic body slowly fell.

Ho~

The cheers under the city tower were like thunder, and the soldiers of the state shouted in unison, "The eldest prince is mighty", and Yuan Tan on horseback was even more proud.

At this moment, a detective came to report urgently: "The eldest prince of Qiyu." The enemy general Wu Ming and Taifu Liu Yu have fled from the south gate. ”

Yuan Tan's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly shouted: "Lu Xiang, you speed up to three thousand elite horses, run to the south gate, be sure to catch up with Liu Yu, bring him back unscathed, and the rest can be caught, and killed if you can!" ”

At the south gate of Jicheng, Wu Ming led more than 100 cavalry. Surrounded by a troika, they hurried south.

On the carriage sat Liu Yu and his family.

Thundered~

The sound of horses' hooves behind him was loud, and Yuan Tan's subordinate Lu Xiang had already brought three thousand elite horses, rolling over, chasing after him.

The two horses chased and fled. It was already six or seven miles away from the city, but the speed of the carriage was a little slower after all, especially when there were recesses and stones on the ground from time to time, which made the carriage jolt so much that it was almost overturned, and it did not dare to gallop at all speed.

In this way, the enemy forces are chasing closer and closer. It was four or five hundred paces away.

Wu Ming hurriedly turned around and shouted to the carriage behind him: "Taifu, the matter is urgent, can you please get off the carriage and ride the horse, and run to Yicheng with the last general?" ”

Who knew that Liu Yu in the carriage was not like his ancestor Liu Bang, who did not hesitate to push his wife and children down for his own life, and resolutely refused to abandon his family and flee.

Wu Ming had no choice but to urge the soldiers who were driving the horses to run away.

Seeing that the two armies were getting closer and closer, Lu Xiang's spirit was greatly lifted, and with a raise of his spear, he led hundreds of the most elite cavalry to increase the speed of the horse under his crotch to the extreme, and in an instant, he had already whistled past Wu Ming and the others, stopping in front.

Immediately afterwards, the Bingzhou cavalry behind had already surrounded everyone.

Lu Xiang shook the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Wu Ming, if you don't get off the horse quickly, you will descend and summon the Taifu, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Wu Ming was furious: "How can you dare to say such a big thing!" ”

After saying that, he slapped the horse and danced the knife, and went straight to Lu Xiang, in this situation, only by taking Lu Xiang could he break through.

The two horses were as fast as the wind, and they quickly fought together with a knife and a gun.

Hulala~

The cavalry of the state swarmed up and besieged the Youzhou cavalry in the field.

……

The morning sun is like blood, and the glow is sprinkled on the Yanzhao Plain, which is red.

A white cloud emerged in the sky, and as it approached, it was recognizable as thousands of white-horse cavalry galloping towards it.

The white horse is like the wind, the white clothes are like snow, that is the white horse righteousness!

Drive! Drive! Drive!

The white horses on horseback were all covered in dust, urging those horses to fly quickly, from Yicheng to Jicheng, they hardly rested.

Those white horse righteous soldiers, all of them are one person and two horses, although U reading books (wwuukanhu.com) galloped, but all the way to change horses, but not very tired, and Gongsun Bai and Zhao Yun's crotch riding are both divine horses, and they are only slightly tired. The cavalry on horseback were all elite soldiers, and although they had been running long distances and had not slept for a long time, they were still in good spirits.

Gongsun Bai, who was at the forefront of the army, was so anxious that he couldn't wait to ride away and enter Jicheng alone. Because he knew what the destruction of Jicheng would mean to him. Liu Yu is his biggest political bargaining chip, once Liu Yu is captured by Yuan Shao, he will be extremely passive, and secondly, once Jicheng is broken, he will be attacked by the enemy, it is difficult to withstand the attack of Yuan Shao's more than 200,000 troops, and it is very likely to lose the land of Youzhou.

"There's someone up ahead!" Zhao Yun behind him suddenly shouted.

In the morning glow, a horse galloped forward with an armored general, who seemed to be seriously wounded, and his body was almost lying on the horse's back.

"Looks like one of us!"

Gongsun Bai's heart sank, and he hurriedly urged the flying blood god horse under his crotch, and rushed over like a meteor.

PS: Chapter 201 has been modified, adding a description of trebuchets, and another modification is that this Bingzhou cavalry is just an ordinary cavalry, not the legendary elite cavalry and a wolf cavalry. (To be continued.) )
