Zhang Liao was worried that Liyang would be lost, and it was still more than 30 miles away, so Zhang Liao received the news from the scouts that Zheng Bao was in battle in Liyang City and was preparing to attack the city overnight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Zhang Liao and Xu Shu quickly discussed, he led 3,000 people to support lightly, Xu Shu led the army and then rushed to the mountain in the distance of Liyang and set fire to the mountain to create momentum for Sun Kang in the city.

By the time the fire in Xu Shu rose, Zhang Liao's 3,000 lightly armed soldiers had arrived not far outside the city, and they could clearly see the two armies fighting in the city.

"Report! The four gates were all broken, the city gates were closed, and only the east city still showed signs of our army's resistance. ”

The scouts reported the battle situation of Liyang City to Zhang Liao's army.

"What! Four doors closed? "Zhang Liao heard that the four city gates were occupied by the enemy, and Sun Kang had no effect on the city at all, which was no different from attacking the city. He came quickly, he didn't carry the siege ladder at all, Sun Kang was surrounded on the head of the city and it was very dangerous, he didn't have time to build the ladder at all, could it be that he flew up to the city?

Zhang Liao clenched his fists, helpless. As soon as the enemy army in the city saw his reinforcements coming, they would only increase the intensity of their attacks, and they would definitely not give him time to build a ladder.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had nothing to do, Tun Commander Lü Meng stepped forward from the army and said: "Among the Xu Yi soldiers recruited by General Lü a few days ago, there are many Shanyue barbarians, they are good at climbing mountain walls and ravines, and the last general is willing to lead them to climb the city wall to support General Sun Kang." ”

This group of soldiers who surrendered were all scattered and incorporated into the army by Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao did not know how many Shanyue barbarians were among the 3,000 people he led. There was no better way at the moment, Zhang Liao decided to follow Lu Meng's advice, and ascended the heights and shouted: "Shanyue barbarians are out of the ranks. ”

More than 140 barbarians rushed out of the army to Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao asked Lü Meng, "Is it enough?" ”

When Lu Meng saw so many people, he patted his chest and said, "The last general will definitely open the city gate." ”

"What does General Lu want to do?"

"I've seen Chen Wu under the command of the broken general steal the city, and he used a long bamboo pole to put the barbarians on the top of the city." Lu Meng said.

"Go and prepare the bamboo poles." When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately sent people to find the bamboo forest.

"Passing by the bamboo forest before, I ordered my soldiers to cut down fifty, and the bamboo poles are in my tribe."

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as he sent people to the city, once he couldn't resist it, he could pick up the soldiers on the city: "Okay, prepare quickly, I'll give you a pressure formation." General Sun Kang is afraid that he will not be able to hold out for long. ”

Zheng Bao in the city saw that the east was on fire, and knew that it was the arrival of reinforcements from the defenders, and he no longer had the intention of recruiting Sun Kang: "The whole army will attack!" Take the city as soon as possible. ”

Zheng Bao turned around and pointed to several generals beside him: "You, you, and you, the three of you will step up the defense of the north, south and west, Lu Bu is known as the victory in a hundred battles, and when the city is captured, a certain army will lead the army out of the city to kill him without leaving a piece of armor, so that Lu Bu can taste the taste of defeat, haha... Ha ha. ”

"The general is mighty!" Several generals complimented them and ordered them to set up the city tower.

Zheng Bao waved the army up, and tens of thousands of soldiers were really overwhelming, and there were no steps to set up a cloud ladder and rush towards the city. Sun Kang led two or three hundred men to overthrow the ladder and resist the enemy army rushing to the city, like a leaf rising and falling in the waves.

Sun Kang was surrounded by layers in the middle, and with every breath, several soldiers would die in battle, which was extremely dangerous.

Just when Sun Kang thought he was going to die in battle, fifty tall soldiers rose from the city wall behind him. Led by a young man, he climbed the arrow stack with one hand, let go of the bamboo pole under his armpit, and drew the short knife tied to the north to kill into the enemy army.

"General Sun is here? The last general, Lu Meng, was ordered to come to the rescue. Lu Meng shouted loudly to see if Sun Kang was still alive.

Sun Kang wiped the blood stains all over his face, he had never seen Lu Meng at all, and still replied loudly: "I'm here." ”

Seeing that Sun Kang was not far away, Lu Meng slashed left and right with a tiger head machete, gathered the barbarians to his side, and fought a bloody path towards Sun Kang. Zheng Bao suddenly saw a divine soldier descending from the sky, and before he could react, several soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

When Sun Kang saw the reinforcements coming to the city, he also led people to fight hard to meet at Lü Meng. As soon as he arrived at Lu Meng's place, he found that there were many ups and downs, his limbs were weak, and he was holding on to the arrow stack and sucking in air. Sun Kang looked out of the city to see how many reinforcements had arrived.

I was surprised to see that dozens of soldiers were running up the straight city walls. Sun Kang thought that he had been dazzled by the repeated fighting, and when he looked carefully, he found that the group of soldiers running on the wall were holding a bamboo pole, and several soldiers under the bamboo pole were pushing the bamboo pole hard, which turned out to be used to top the bamboo pole.

Zhang Liao sent more than 100 barbarians to the city wall, and immediately ordered the soldiers to tie spears and spears horizontally to two bamboo poles with clothes, and tie them into very simple and dangerous ladders to climb the city wall. If the Han soldiers wanted to climb the city wall like the barbarian soldiers before, they had to train for a year and a half.

When more than 100 barbarians climbed the city wall, although they could not drive Zheng Bao's army off the city, plus the soldiers of Sun Kang's army who had not yet died in battle, they could still defend one place for a short time.

When the ladder is tied, Zhang Liao takes the lead in turning over the ladder regardless of the danger, at this time he can't think too much, it is the best time to recapture Liyang City, once he retreats from the city, give Zheng Bao time to arrange a defense on the city tower, even if Xu Shu brings an army, it is not a short time to capture.

Every time Zhang Liao took a step up, the pole tied with a spear under his feet sank a minute, and the soldiers attached to the ants behind him even bent the bamboo pole against the wall and creaked. Fortunately, it was a freshly cut bamboo pole, which was full of elasticity, and Zhang Liao did not break when he turned over to the city.

As soon as Zhang Liao stepped on the city, with a wave of his long knife, he immediately swept away the enemy troops standing on the top of the city, and the soldiers behind him climbed up to the city head one after another.

Zhang Liao's martial arts far surpassed that of Lu Meng, as soon as he went to the city, the power of one person had the tendency to drive the besieged enemy troops off the city, and the place where the big sword passed, became a no-man's land. Many Zheng Bao soldiers consciously joined the siege of Zhang Liao, wanting to repel Zhang Liao with a large number of people.

Zheng Bao was commanding the soldiers to besiege Lü Meng, and when he saw a gold-robed and silver-armored general, he was dressed as an enemy general, and he was overjoyed, and wanted to kill the opponent's main general first, and the soldiers dragged their knives towards Zhang Liao.

Zheng Bao is entrenched in Huainan, there are few opponents, and seeing that Zhang Liao's martial arts are good, he shouted: "Come and get famous." ”

"Zhang Wenyuan." Zhang Liao's hands did not stop, and the sword was dignified.

"Eat me!" Zheng Bao has heard of Zhang Liao's name, and he is the number one minion of Lu Bu's subordinates who have been in the limelight recently, and he is loyal to Lu Bu and is difficult to recruit. Since he couldn't surrender, Zheng Bao left no room for his shot, jumped with both feet, and slashed towards Zhang Liao with a sword like a sword.

"Choke."

Seeing that Zheng Bao was menacing, Zhang Liao withdrew the big knife that was cutting people, made a mistake under his feet, put on a lunge, and raised the big knife to block Zheng Bao's full blow. Zhang Liao was mentally prepared to take a hard knife, but the strength of the knife could not shake Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao had an uncomfortable feeling of being punched in the water.

On the other hand, Zheng Bao was shocked backwards by the force of the shock, and fell to the ground on all fours.

"Vulnerable." Zhang Liao is rarely sarcastic, he saw that Zheng Bao was born majestic, and the gap was too big. After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he took Zheng Bao, who was still lying on the ground and had not come back to his senses. He saw that Zheng Bao's armor was gorgeous and extraordinary, and at first glance he was a mid-level and high-level figure in the enemy army, as long as he killed it, it would reduce the pressure on his own attack.

"Stop him!" A general-looking man jumped out next to Zheng Bao and protected Zheng Bao behind him, holding a knife to resist the broadsword cut by Zhang Liao, while directing the soldiers to protect Zheng Bao.

The two knives collided, and the general who jumped out could not resist, and the back of the knife hit the armor on his chest and retreated into the group of soldiers.

Zhang Liao looked at the ground again, Zheng Bao had been guarded by layers of soldiers and retreated, Zhang Liao did not pursue, but just guarded the battlement, allowing the soldiers outside the city to climb into the city. He didn't know that it was Zheng Bao who had just been knocked down by him, and if he knew, he was afraid that he would chase and kill all over the city regardless of the danger.

As time passed, Zhang Liao had a thick layer of corpses under his feet, and countless soldiers of his own side stood behind him. The soldiers of Zheng Baobu became more and more frightened the more they fought, and began to slowly retreat. Zheng Bao under the city asked the overseer team to hack the retreating soldiers to death, and only then did he barely stop the decline.

When the soldiers behind Zhang Liao accumulated to five or six hundred, he began to abandon the defense and drove the enemy troops in the city with his soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zheng Bao saw that his soldiers were gradually pushed down from the top of the city, and countless people were killed and injured, and the defeat was gradually born, so he ordered loudly.

"My lord, no!" A general beside Zheng Bao persuaded: "Our soldiers are still in the city, and they are shooting with the enemy with arrows, and I am afraid that the soldiers will be cold." ”

Zheng Bao's face turned cold: "I told you to release the arrows!" Do you want to disobey or rebel? ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!" The general shouted twice, and a group of archers reluctantly bent their bows and arrows and threw them at the head of the city.

"Watch for secrecy!" Zhang Liao heard the sound of the bowstring under the city tower, and before he finished speaking, the dense bows and arrows flew up to the city, and he shot all the arrows that came to him, and the ordinary soldiers were far inferior to Zhang Liao, and countless soldiers died under this round of arrow rain.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao's soldiers were outside the city, and the arrows shot from inside the city were first blocked by Zheng Bao's soldiers close to the city, and there were still heavy casualties.

"Down town!" Zhang Liao led the soldiers to rush towards the city from the steps, and standing on the top of the city would only be the target of the other party.

Zheng Bao's soldiers, who were still at the head of the city, saw that several parties shot themselves from behind with arrows, so they dropped their weapons and fled for their lives in the city together. Lu Meng and Sun Kang, who were close to the steps, finally attacked from a passive defensive state and rushed towards the city.

Lü Meng and Sun Kang rushed down the steps with Zhang Liao one step ahead of them, and the red-eyed soldiers rushed into Zheng Bao's large array one after another.

Zhang Liao led the soldiers to withstand another round of arrow rain, and finally rushed to the city, where it was much easier to dodge Zheng Bao's bow and arrows than the city, and the soldiers quickly looked for a place to hide.

"Open the gates first!" Zhang Liao ordered some of the soldiers to open the city gate and let the soldiers outside the city enter the city, and he himself took some of the soldiers to attack Zheng Bao's large array.

Zheng Bao threw indiscriminately and shot his own soldiers, which demoralized him and made him unable to resist the soldiers led by Zhang Liao, Lü Meng, and Sun Kang, and began to rout.
