"Don't that thief be rampant, and have the ability to fight a big war with a certain family."

Yan Liang's voice almost scared Li Su into getting off the horse. Li Su is still very self-aware of his martial arts, at best, he is a civil official who can play with a spear twice. Relying on the tall people and big horses, it's okay to kill a few thieves under the escort of his own soldiers, not to mention that he can't fight against a famous Hebei general like Yan Liang, even those little-known captains.

Therefore, when he saw Yan Liang rushing towards him with a fierce momentum, he didn't even think about it, turned his head and ran.

Yan Liang chased after him desperately.

But here's the problem. Li Su saw that the person who blocked the way could not hesitate to kill him on the spot, after all, it was Yuan Bing who blocked his way, and it was the enemy.

Yan Liang didn't do it, the road ahead was full of chaotic own horses, he couldn't drive away, he couldn't kill, it was useless to scold, he couldn't enter or retreat, he was caught in the crowd and watched Li Su roar past him a hundred steps away, out of the north gate, slashing all the way and rushing into the city from the south gate, and the soldiers and horses under Yan Liang rushed people and horses on their backs, and their heads, flags, and weapons were scattered all over the place.

Yan Hao finally broke through the crowd and chased him to the south city wall of Linzi, and jumped to his feet and scolded, "Dare to go down to the city to fight with me." ”

Li Su shrunk his neck and said secretly: Fight with you...... Unless I get a donkey kicked in the head. Of course, as the main general, he naturally can't say such unconfident words. He shouted at Yan Liang at the top of his voice: "If you have the ability, you come to the city, and I will fight with you." ”

As soon as the guards at the head of the city were in charge, thousands of soldiers and horses shouted at the same time: "You have the ability to come up!" Have the ability to come to the city. ”

The shouting voice came into Yan Liang's ears, and he was angry, "Okay, you all wait for me." ”

Yan Liang was about to dismount, rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person. However, after listening to Xin's commentary, he took the overall situation into account, and the Yuan soldiers who attacked the northern, eastern, and western city walls showed signs of retreat, and the same was true for the south gate, but because General Yan was in charge here, he did not dare to escape.

Yan Liang saw that this was really the case, the morale of the army plummeted, and the soldiers looked frightened. He has led the troops for many years, and he knows that if he continues to attack like this, it will not only be futile, but will completely break the psychological defense line of the soldiers, which will cause the soldiers and horses to be frightened and will no longer fight with all their might.

Thinking of this, although Yan Liang was unwilling, he had to give Ming Jin's order.

Returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Yan Lianghu was furious when he thought of the siege of the city for two days, paying nearly 10,000 casualties but not even touching the female wall of Linzi. vented all the anger in his heart on the utensils in the tent, and smashed the table, table, and hanger.

The military advisor Xin Ping opened the curtain at this time and entered the account, and when he saw the mess all over the place, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, and Fei Laoda's lips and tongue made Yan Liang calm his anger.

He thought for a moment, and then said to Yan Liang, "General." Now that our army has been besieging the city for two days, and if we hold it for a long time, I am afraid that Lu Bu's reinforcements should arrive. ”

Yan Liang shook his head impatiently, "It will take at least five days from Yanzhou Dongping to here, and now it will only be two days, and Lu Bu will arrive in three days." I still have three days, three ......," he shook three fingers, "enough for me to take Linzi." ”

"But looking at the appearance of Linzi, I'm afraid it's not so easy to attack!" Xin Ping was very anxious.

Yan Liang asked angrily: "What is difficult to attack?" Just a few people can stop my army? ”

Xin Ping muttered in his heart, haven't such people already kept your army out of the city for two days!

Although Xin Ping didn't say what was in his heart, his mood was all written on his face, and Yan Liang saw it clearly. He snorted coldly, "I underestimated Linzi two days ago, and tomorrow I will use some means to take Linzi like a bag." ”

Xin Ping listened to Yan Liang open his mouth "My army" and close his mouth "I use means", and he didn't take him seriously as a military advisor at all. Naturally, he was not happy in his heart, and he said in a stiff tone: "What means is the general going to use?" ”

"Attacking it with a distance, taking Linzi will be like exploring the bag and taking things."

Yan Liang looked smug, and Xin Ping was indeed shocked. What is elongation? The so-called moat is to pile up earth mountains around the castle to make them climb or higher than the city walls, and then use logs to support the top of the earth mountain, and then cover them with raw cowhide to build fortifications. After the cowhide shed was successfully built, the soldiers hid in the hut and used the cowhide to resist the bows and arrows fired by the defenders, and also fired arrows at the enemies in the city, so as to cover the friendly troops attacking the city under the mountain and support the ladder to enter the city.

It can be said that if the distance is built, it will be a big threat to the strong city wall of Linzi. But here's the problem...... Stacking the trenches is really a huge project, and it cannot be completed in a short time. When the distance was built two or three days later, Lu Bu happened to lead reinforcements to save him, so what was good?

Xin Ping then threw this question to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang squinted at Xin Ping and said, "The military advisor doesn't have to worry about this matter. It does not take as much as two or three days to build the moat, and the three armed forces can work overtime to complete it within one day. ”

"One day?" Xin Ping was taken aback. That's right, you can build a distance wall in one day, but in that case, if the soldiers use all their strength to build a distance wall, will they still have the strength to fight? In addition, if the soldiers were to work day and night in high-intensity manual labor, there would be complaints and maybe mutinies.

Xin Ping just wanted to persuade Yan Liang again, but was intercepted by Yan Liang first, "Okay, the military doesn't have to worry about this matter, I have my own plans." Go down and rest! ”

Rest, rest, I'm resting. Xin Ping was worried, but helpless. In the army, from top to bottom, there are all Yan Liang's old generals, but as a military advisor, he has no say at all, and he can't stop Yan Liang at all.

In a hurry, he had no choice but to hurry back to the account, and wrote to Yuan Shao. And bluntly told Yuan Shao that if Yan Liang continued like this, he would be defeated, and asked the lord to prepare for the annihilation of the entire army on the East Road.

The letter was written, Xin reviewed it, put it into the letter, sealed it with wax and added a ribbon, and then recruited his cronies to send it to Hebei as soon as possible.

Seeing the messenger leave the barracks, his anxiety calmed down considerably, and he threw his tired body on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know that as soon as the cronie who delivered the letter left the camp, he was robbed by a team of Yuan soldiers, and even the letter was sent to the main account of the Chinese army.

Yan Liang was furious after examining the letters he had found on the messenger. "Hmph, how dare you say that I will be defeated? I'm going to give you a big win. When I take Linzi, who dares to say that I have courage and no strategy. He really wanted to arrest Xin Ping and kill him, but after thinking about it, Xin Ping was Yuan Shao's own military advisor after all, and it was not good to explain to Yuan Shao if he killed him. He held back his anger for the time being, and waited for the opportunity to retaliate in the future.

That night, the church guards who had been fighting on the city wall of Linzi for a long time had just fallen asleep when they heard the hustle and bustle in Yuan's military camp outside the city. At first, they thought that Yuan's army was going to attack the city at night and observe for a while, but they saw that Yuan's pawn had no intention of forming a formation. He put his mind at ease and continued to lean against the wall and dozed off.

The dream had just entered my eyes, and there was a commotion in the distance in my ears, this time the sound was much louder than just now, and it was tens of thousands of people shouting at the same time the unique horn of Hebei Lijiao, "Micro to micro to micro to rivet, hey...... Hey, radan srira, hey...... Hey, stand still, raise your head high, hold your hands steady, work harder, hehe. Stomp your feet, lift your legs, dig hard, hehe. ”

The knight on duty at the head of the city felt that something was wrong, walked to the battlement of the city wall, looked into the distance by the dim moonlight, and found that the figure outside the Yuan camp was digging the soil hard, and then transported the dug soil to a hundred steps away from the city wall and piled up a hill.

The knight suddenly felt bad, strode straight to the city tower, and reported this new military situation to Li Su who was resting.

When Li Su heard this, he hurriedly woke up Luan Lu, who was asleep. The two of them trotted to the female wall, and each took out the sterling silver binoculars in his arms and looked in the direction the knight pointed.

"Hiss......" Li Su gasped.

Luan Lu muttered, "Yan Liang is digging a distance? ”

Li Su nodded, "How is this good?" The enemy force was so strong that we could not go out of the city to destroy it, but could only watch it reach the city walls. ”

"Don't worry!" Luan Lu patted Li Su on the shoulder, "Our Lady is with us. It doesn't matter if it's far away or something else, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the people who are steadfast in their faith are invincible. ”

Li Su nodded again. But having said that, if the distance is really built, it will undoubtedly be a big disaster for Linzi. "What should I do? What to do? He suddenly remembered that today, before he came up with the idea of disturbing the hearts of Yuan Junjun with gold and silver, he had prayed to Our Lady for the great wisdom that would give him great wisdom to defend against a strong enemy. As soon as the prayer ended, wisdom came.

Now that I'm in big trouble again, will it be solved by praying to Our Lady?

Yes, definitely.

Thinking of this, Li Su threw away the miscellaneous items, closed his eyes, and put his hands together to send sincere words into the window of his heart.

It's just that after pouring out his wishes this time, he didn't see the same immediate results as last time, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the wisdom of Our Lady, and he never thought of a way to break the distance.

He was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious when he thought about it. Rather than wandering around the walls, it is better to have faith in the belief that Our Lady will bless these pious people. As for why Our Lady did not sow the seeds of wisdom in him, it is probably because Our Lady is busy with other official business at this time, or maybe Our Lady was distracted and did not hear her when she prayed herself.

Eighty percent didn't hear it...... So, from this moment on, every time Yuan Bing would be a foot taller from the mound, Li Su would pray sincerely. Raising a foot high, Luan Lu pulled the labor propaganda team to preach to all the guards guarding the city.

Just as Luan Lu had finished his fourteenth sermon and Li Su had finished his two hundred and twenty-fourth prayers in the past two days, a wave of cheers erupted from Yuan's camp.

Li Su knew that what was supposed to come was finally coming. Yan Liang's distance was finally built.
