The south gate guarded by Lin Ziyu was originally the farthest gate from the direction of the Shang army, so Sun Ke sent him to guard it, and the number of rolling wood and thunder stones stored in the city was not much. Unexpectedly, the enemy army actually chose to attack with this gate as the main attack, and the vanguard He Renke was under the south gate.

Yuanhang led Dao Zi and others to rush to the city, the left side of the city gate had been lost, the enemy army had attacked the city, Lin Ziyu was commanding the soldiers to rush over, trying to plug the gap.

"General Lin, don't panic, we're here." Yuanhang shouted vigorously, and hurriedly ordered Dao Zi and Shadowless to kill him.

Dao Zi roared, drew his scimitar, and pounced on his body. Shadowless drew his sword and stood beside Yuanhang to protect him.

"Shadowless, don't take care of me, quickly defeat the enemy soldiers." Yuanhang is anxious, if he doesn't destroy the enemy soldiers in the city as soon as possible, there will only be more and more, and I am afraid that he will really not be able to hold it.

Wuying hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, go to the city tower, beware of random arrows." With that, he picked up his sword and rushed into the soldiers.

He Renke saw that the soldiers had rushed up, and he was happy, and ordered to speed up the siege and beat drums to cheer.

As soon as Dao Zi arrived, the scene was immediately controlled. The half-moon scimitar made a perfect arc, stabbing out with a cold light, and before an enemy soldier could see the comer, blood had already spurted from his chest and he fell.

Lin Ziyu was slightly relieved when he saw that reinforcements were coming, if the enemy army broke through the city here, what kind of face would he have to go to see the voyage, so he had to kill himself. With a sigh of relief, he swung his sword and rushed over.

There were not too many merchant troops rushing up to the south gate, and they were fighting desperately, guarding this side and waiting for their own people to climb up to the city. Originally, it could barely resist the defenders, but Dao Zi and Wuying joined in, and they were immediately scattered.

"Ah......h

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the enemy troops who had come up to the city had been wiped out, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly took their positions, re-armed, and lifted the corpses of the enemy soldiers as rolling logs and threw them down the city.

He Renke was anxious under the city, and when he saw that he had broken through the gap, he was beaten down again, and he raised the big knife in his hand and slashed it on the ground.

"General, Jiangzhou City is too strong, the city gate has not been broken, and our army has suffered heavy casualties." A general next to him came over to say goodbye.

"How are the other battles?" He Renke stared at Jiangzhou City and asked in a deep voice.

The general shook his head and replied, "The enemy is well defended at every gate, and none of them can break the city. ”

After He Renke heard this, he shook his head helplessly. Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, he has less than 150,000 troops in his hands, and if he attacks strongly, he will definitely lose too much. If you don't attack, enemy reinforcements will arrive, and you will be in danger.

"General, the two of them will arrive in the future, so it is better for us to postpone the siege and wait for Marshal Chi to arrive before attacking the city." This partial general knew that He Renke wanted to steal the merit and take Jiangzhou before the marshal's army arrived. But now it seems that Jiangzhou is by no means comparable to Tiancang Pass, and if it continues to attack, I am afraid that the army will lose half.

He Renke glanced up at Jiangzhou City, nodded and said: "You are right, this city is not my own strength, withdraw the troops, and then attack the city when the marshal arrives." ”

"Yes." The general hurriedly went to give the order, Mingjin collected his troops, and the caravan slowly retreated to Tiancang Pass.

On the city of Jiangzhou, Yuanhang saw the enemy retreating, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, carry the rolling wood outside the city back to the city, and re-arm.

"Voyage ......"

Yuanhang was inspecting the city, and when he heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw Xia Yuanwei limping over.

"Father-in-law, didn't you go with Qinghe?" Yuanhang hurried up to meet him and supported him.

Xia Yuanwei waved his hand and said, "How can I go, I want to defend the city." ”

"You're all wounded, what are you still guarding about, how are your injuries?"

"It's fine, it's just a stab in the leg." Xia Yuanwei replied with a grin.

"Come home with me, I'll stitch it for you." Yuanhang remembered that there were still some sheep intestines in the house, and walked towards the city with Xia Yuanwei in his arms.

Du Wen followed behind Yuanhang, and Dao Zi and Wuying stayed on the city tower.

"Xianggong, are you okay?" Yilan was very anxious in the house, but he was instructed not to leave the house on a long voyage. Now when I saw him return, I hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"It's okay, the enemy has retreated, go quickly to the autumn house, and get the needle and thread for stitching." Yuanhang sat in the outer hall with Xia Yuanwei in his arms, dismantled his leggings, and ordered someone to take wine for disinfection.

"Father-in-law, there will be some pain, please bear with me." Yuanhang saw that the wound was not deep, but it was a little long, and told Xia Yuanwei.

"Hehe, I don't feel pain when I cut it, so why be afraid at this time." Xia Yuanwei grinned, reached out to hold the back of the chair, and said, "Come on." ”

Yuanhang nodded, and began to stitch it up. Xia Yuanwei was a man, he had twelve stitches and didn't say a word, frowned, gritted his teeth and survived.

"Father-in-law, the stitches are complete, you can rest in the house for a few days, and the wound will heal." Xia Yuanwei was fine, but Yuanhang was tired and broke out in a cold sweat, and Yilan took a sweat towel to wipe it for him.

"Voyage, the enemy army is menacing, I have few soldiers in Jiangzhou, if there is no reinforcement, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it." Xia Yuanwei looked down at the voyage that was bandaging himself and said.

"Well, reinforcements have arrived in the back hall, and we will arrive in three or four days, and we will only need to hold out for a few days." Yuanhang replied comfortingly, and his heart was also bottomless.

Xia Yuanwei nodded and said, "This can only be done, I just hope that the reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible." ”

While the two were talking, Fu Yashi walked in from outside the house, and Shi Li said, "My lord, the number of rolling logs in the city is not enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on." ”

Yuanhang got up from his chair, walked over, thought for a while, and said, "Order the people to demolish their houses, take the beams of the houses and transport them to the city......"

Fu Yashi smiled lightly and said: "It's too troublesome, even if you defend the city, the people will have nowhere to live." The lord did not give the order, but ordered the people to donate the cauldron and boil the water in the city, and use the boiling water to pour it down to stop the enemy. ”

Yuanhang frowned, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Good idea, save time and effort, and the effect is better." "At that moment, he ordered to go, take the cauldron and put it in the city, and ordered the young and strong to carry the water to the city.

The merchant army retreated to Tiancang Pass, He Renke reorganized his team, counted the losses, and lost more than 10,000 people in this battle, and slapped the table in the tent angrily.

"General, just now the letter has come to report that Marshal Chi's army will arrive in Yanshun Mansion tomorrow." A detached general ran into the tent to pray.

"Oh? Arriving tomorrow. After hearing this, He Renke became happy, thinking that it would only arrive in two days, but it was one day ahead of schedule.

"The order goes down, and the army sets off to besiege Jiangzhou." He Renke reached out and picked up his helmet from the table, and was about to walk out.

"General." The partial general stopped and said, "The soldiers are tired, they have just come back and have not rested, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to send troops again."

"Hey, the soldiers are fast, we just need to surround Jiangzhou, and when the commander of Ming Yen comes, we will definitely be able to break Jiangzhou." He Renke smiled, didn't listen to the general's words, and walked out.

In the city of Jiangzhou, the soldiers were transporting cauldrons to the city, and the outpost found that the merchant army was coming back and hurriedly returned to the city to report.

Yuanhang was resting in the mansion, and when he heard the news that the enemy was coming again, he hurried back to the city with Fu Yashi.

"My lord, the enemy army does not look like a siege, it looks like it is about to besiege the city." Fu Yashi saw that the enemy army was setting up obstacles outside the city, as if he had the intention of camping, and turned his head sideways to talk to Yuanhang.

Yuanhang also felt strange and asked, "Why only besiege but not attack?" Aren't they afraid that my reinforcements will come? ”

Fu Yashi stared down and said, "There is only one possibility, that is, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive before our reinforcements, so they besiege but not attack, waiting for reinforcements. ”

"I'm afraid it will take three days for our reinforcements, could it be that their reinforcements will arrive?" Yuanhang was worried now, his own troops were originally less than the other party, and if the enemy came to reinforce the army, he was afraid that he would really not be able to hold it.

"My lord, if the enemy besieges the city, the main force will be at the north gate, and our army can send people out of the south gate to fight in a roundabout way, and the enemy army will not think that we dare to go out of the city." Fu Yashi offered advice.

"Well, that's what I mean." Yuanhang immediately agreed, summoned Gu Xin, and told him to go out of the south gate to the west gate to cover up, go to the west gate and then turn back to the south gate, and go back to the east gate. He also summoned Sun Ke and ordered him to stand by at the east gate, and when Gu Xin arrived, he went out of the east gate to join forces with him and kill the enemy at the east gate.

Gu Xin took the order, selected 5,000 elite horsemen, opened the south gate and rushed out.

The enemy army was camping outside the city, and they really did not expect the Liang army to dare to go out of the city to fight, and hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy in a panic.

"Kill ......" Gu Xin immediately rounded the big knife wheel and rushed in first. The enemy general was about to get on his horse to meet the battle, Gu Xin's big knife had arrived, and even the people and horses were slashed by the blade, and they fell down in unison.

The merchant army was all infantry, but what Gu Xin brought out was cavalry. Five thousand cavalry rushed into the formation, slashing and trampling, and in just one turn, the enemy army was scattered and screamed.

"Rush to Simon." Gu Xin did not fall in love with the battle, and after a charge, he led the army directly to the west gate. The merchant army at the south gate was ordered to besiege the south gate, and did not dare to leave to pursue the enemy, so they had to send troops to inform He Renke.

Gu Xin ran all the way along the city, and Yuanhang also followed him to the west gate in the city. At the west gate, it has been learned that the enemy army is out of the city, and they are waiting for it.

Gu Xin remembered the instructions of the voyage, and saw that the enemy army was prepared, and he was afraid that the enemy archers would shoot and injure the cavalry, so he did not fight, and turned around and headed towards the south gate.

He Renke is really at the north gate, this gate has many generals, just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, so he will use this gate as the main attack.

"Report! General, the enemy army came out from the south gate. A soldier ran into He Renke's tent and knelt on one knee to pray.

After hearing this, He Renke stood up on the ground and asked in disbelief, "What?" Enemy troops dare to go out of the city? ”

The soldier nodded and replied, "Yes, General, the enemy has come out of the south gate, and now they are going to the west gate." ”

"Bastard." He Renke scolded, picked up his helmet and walked out of the tent, shouting: "Come on, prepare horses, go to the west gate to meet the enemy." ”

The merchant army at the South Gate, under the command of the adjutant general, was treating the wounded and cleaning up the corpses. There was a sound, and a soldier looked up and shouted, "Mom, here you go again." ”

"Array to meet the enemy." The merchant general hurriedly shouted, but he was not as fast as the galloping warhorse. Gu Xin's horse team came in an instant, charged over, and went straight to the east gate without stopping. Pity the merchant army at the south gate, many soldiers were wounded without counterattacking, and they have not yet figured out what tactics the Liang army is.

He Renke led his men and horses to Ximen for reinforcements, but he didn't see the enemy, his heart was full of doubts, and he called the deputy general of Ximen and asked: "Didn't you report that the enemy army came to Ximen, why didn't you see it?" ”

"Back to the general, the enemy cavalry did come to the west gate, but for some reason, they retreated without a fight and went to the south gate."

"Huh? Went back again. "He Renke is also confused, what kind of tactic is this of the enemy army?

This is exactly the strategy that Fu Yashi used to divert the tiger from the mountain. Move the enemy's main force away from the north gate and seize time to concentrate on attacking the merchant army at the east gate. Originally, the east gate and the north gate were relatively close to each other, and if there was a fight, He Renke would soon bring troops to help. Now He Renke has been deceived to the west gate, and then turns back to the east gate, and he will run around Jiangzhou City for half a circle.

The east gate of Jiangzhou slowly opened, Sun Ke roared, led the army out of the city, for a while the east gate was dusty, the sound of killing shook the sky, Liang Jun followed behind Sun Ke, rushed to the merchant army.

When the merchant army saw the city gate open, several generals also rushed over, and the two armies fought outside the east gate.

"Kill!" Gu Xin's iron cavalry rushed over from the south gate, killed from the left flank of the enemy, and attacked from both sides, the merchant army was immediately unable to parry, and the formation was rushed into chaos.

"I've got it, hurry up and retreat to the west gate." A general steadied his position, and when he saw that the army had been divided, he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Where to go." Sun Ke rushed to meet him and slashed down head-on.

The general raised the three-strand fork and lifted it up, and with a "dang" sound, both of them felt their arms tingle, looked at each other, and continued to fight.

Gu Xin rushed into the formation, the big sword dance was impenetrable, and everywhere he went, there were broken arms and stumps, and the war horse carried him all the way, and countless soldiers fell behind him.

"So brave, really like Guan Yunchang." Yuanhang stared at Gu Xin on the city tower, and when he saw him slashing all the way, he couldn't help but praise him.

"Well, if General Gu is still in Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang will not die easily." Fu Yashi sighed beside him.

"Haha, Yashi Hugh mentioned it, aren't they together now." Yuanhang smiled and patted Fu Yashi, and Fu Yashi also smiled and nodded.

Sun Ke and the general were fighting inseparably, Gu Xin rushed to the horse and shouted: "General Sun, I'm here to help you." ”

When the enemy general saw Gu Xin coming, he panicked in his heart, and left Sun Ke to return to the horse and was about to escape, but the speed was not as fast as Gu Xin.

The enemy general knew that it was not good, and turned around and held the fork with both hands to block it. It's just that he miscalculated, how could Gu Xin's strength be blocked by him. With a "click", the three-strand fork was cut hard, the blade did not stop, and the enemy general was divided into two by the waist, and the war horse ran out with the lower half of the enemy general's body.

"Good!" The voyage shouted happily in the city.

"My lord, quickly withdraw your troops, if several other enemy troops arrive, it will be difficult to retreat." Fu Yashi calculated the time, it should be almost over, and persuaded him.

Yuanhang nodded and said, "Well, I'll accept it when I see it, Mingjin." ”

Another soldier reported to He Renke, and the two armies were fighting fiercely outside the east gate. He Renke led the army to turn around, and went back to the east gate, and when he arrived, he happened to see the east gate of Jiangzhou slowly closing, and the ground was crawling with his own soldiers, so angry that he raised his knife with one hand and scolded the city.

Yuanhang looked down, pursed his lips coldly and arrogantly, and said four words lightly. "The ...... of the Straw Bale General"
