Three days went by in a flash.

In these three days, Wanling County was ordered by Wang Xu to be thoroughly cleaned, and the Qian family and the Zhao family gave 6,000 deniers of grain, and it was precisely in this way that they escaped; The Li family was raided and seized, and he got 8,000 deniers of grain and a certain amount of gold and silver; As for the more than 2,000 private soldiers of the three major families and 1,000 county soldiers, they were forcibly integrated together, and Jiang Li was temporarily responsible for the training; Jiang Li had no objection to this.

The city wall of Wanling County is much shorter than that of Languan, there is no moat, no suspension bridge, no more than two zhang five high, and no more than one zhang thick; Although the city wall is not good, the defense is very tight, boiling water, archers, spearmen, sword and shield hands, boulders, giant trees, as long as it is beneficial to defend the city, Huang Quan has moved to the city wall; Three thousand soldiers were divided into two teams, and fifteen hundred men took turns defending the city.

Huang Quan is still wearing the armor of the Yulin Army, which is pale gold, and a horizontal knife hangs on his waist, which looks mighty and tall, whenever he walks behind the soldiers defending the city, the soldiers defending the city must raise their heads and be busy with the work in their hands. Wang Xu walked up to the city, accompanied by Jia Hui and Zhang Meng; Seeing Wang Xu coming, Huang Quan saluted and said: "Lord, all the equipment to defend the city has been moved, and now everything is ready; As long as Li Zhi dares to come, I will meet the head-on! ”。

Wang Xu lay on the pier of the city wall, looked at the distance and said casually, "Li Zhi's army has not moved today?" ”。

Huang Quan frowned, "It's still the same as yesterday, there are no visions."

Jia Hui said: "This Li Zhi is scheming, don't be careless."

"Lord, the scouts planted in Wangcheng this morning came to report that Guan Qing and Guan Hua had taken refuge in the prince, and the five thousand soldiers under their command had withdrawn from the valley three days ago, and it was precisely because of the rebellion of the two of them that Li Zhi's army was able to raid our army camp" Huang Quan nodded and reported.

Wang Xu took a deep breath: "It's still right what Jia Hui said, the surrender of Tianyun Village was really forced by the times, in fact, when Li Zhi's army attacked, I guessed it all." "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about how to resist Li Zhi's army forty miles away."

Jia Hui said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, now our army has enough food and grass, and we are defending the city; Let him Li Zhi ride on ten thousand fine horses, what can I do? ”。

Huang Quan smiled and said, "That's right, although the war cavalry is strong, it is only limited to field battles; As long as we hold this wall, we will not be afraid of him Li Zhi! ”。 Wang Xu nodded and said, "Li Zhi also knows this very well, so he doesn't dare to offend me easily, but I don't know what trick he will make next."

Zhang Meng pouted and said: "Why do you have to nest in this city wall as a turtle with a shrunken head, how boring it is, where is the prestige of our army; If I want to say, rush out of the city and fight to the death."

"Dare to love, you are not afraid, if there are a hundred like you in my army, why should I be hiding here." "Let's all defend the city in peace, and report it immediately if there is a situation; Don't go into battle without permission! ”。

Wang Xu waved his sleeves, and the three of them walked down the city wall to the mansion and went to the next morning, before dawn, the rooster did not crow; Outside Wanling County, the black, orange and orange were connected to the sky, and tens of thousands of troops drew their swords out of their bodies, holding long soldiers, and their black eyes were full of a strong aura of slaughter.

In front of the army, Li Zhi was wearing black armor, a red cloak, and a long knife, majestic and domineering. The war horse under his crotch was already eager to try, and he almost wanted to get out of the reins. "Listen to the order, the sword and shield men are in front, the archers are followed, and a thousand people are in an echelon to attack the city in turn; Move slowly when you are thirty paces away from the city wall, and charge quickly when you are close to the city wall! ”。

Qin Shuang drew his sword and pointed at the city wall of Wanling County, and shouted loudly: "Go to war!" ”。

As soon as the order to siege the city was given, the army outside the city immediately beat loud drums, and thousands of soldiers in heavy armor carried several ladders and slowly moved towards the city wall; Every soldier was roaring loudly and walking in a neat pace, so that people could know at a glance that this was an elite soldier among elite soldiers. On the city wall of Wanling County, Wang Xu had already led all the generals to wait for him, and a total of 3,000 soldiers with 1,000 archers, 1,000 sword and shield men, and 1,000 pikemen had also been transferred to the city wall; Under the command of Huang Quan, they performed their duties and set up a position, staring at the invading enemy under the city with their eyes.

"I can't imagine that this Li Zhi is really not to be underestimated, if he doesn't come, it's enough, as soon as he comes, there will be an army of 30,000; He is determined to capture this Wanling County."

Sun Yu comforted: "Don't worry, what about the 30,000 army, it's not so easy to break through this Wanling County!" ”。 After speaking, Sun Yu came to the edge of the city and said loudly: "Listen to the soldiers, don't be afraid of the enemy, although there are many enemies, the labor is far away, our army is waiting for the victory of the army, and they will all fight bravely with me to kill the enemy!" ”。“ Yes, kill! "Three thousand soldiers kept waving their weapons and roared loudly, and the sound shook the sky.

Huang Quan walked back and forth on the city walls, constantly giving orders to defend the city.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to my orders, fire arrows in fifty steps, throw boulders in thirty steps, and if the enemy climbs the city wall, they will fight with spears!"

After a while, a soldier shouted, "General, fifty steps."

Huang Quan's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly: "Archer, release the arrows."

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!". A thousand archers had already drawn their longbows, and when they heard the order, they immediately let go of their arrow feathers, and a rain of arrows flew down the sky and shot at the soldiers who were carrying the ladder outside the city.

"Bell, bell, bell". With the cover of the sword and shield hand, the first round of arrow feathers did not bring any damage to Li Zhi's army at all, and the sharp arrow feathers were shot on the thick shield, making a sound of bells colliding.

"Rolling boulders".

Huang Quan picked up a huge bluestone outside the outer city wall and threw it hard, and the soldiers did the same, bows and arrows did not stop, and the boulder was thrown violently.

"Boom, boom, boom".

Just as the boulder fell, the soldiers who were slowly advancing under the city suddenly withdrew their cover, scattered, and quickly ran towards the city wall; The boulder was already unable to inflict a lot of damage on the soldiers, and the effect of this dispersion was even more minimal, and a single round of boulders killed only a dozen archers who had no shield in the rear.

"Lord, this Li Zhi has some ability, such a siege is really a deep combination of the art of war" Sun Yu stood beside Wang Xu and exclaimed.

"yes, what a good general; You must find a way to capture him alive! Wang Xu said casually.

Sun Yu rolled his eyes and said, "The lord is really far-sighted, I don't have enough confidence in whether I can defeat Li Zhi's army, but the lord is already thinking about how to capture him alive."

"It's up to people, let's repel the enemy first," Wang Xu said.
