Yuan Shu was not ready for war at all, so he sent troops out of anger, which made Huang Cong, who was defending the city, breathe a sigh of relief. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] If Yuan Shu could hold back this breath at this time, let the army set up camp first, and then attack the city in the next day, then the loss of Yangzhai City would definitely be even greater, and maybe even Yuan Shu would capture it.

But now, Huang Cong looked at the scattered Yuan Shu army under Yangzhai City, and his heart became happy. Anger and raising soldiers, soldiers are taboo. "Look, the enemy is nothing remarkable. An arrow shoots at it, and it dies as well. We will take advantage of the city walls and defeat the enemy. ”

Previously, although everyone knew about Yuan Shu's order to slaughter the city, no one would be left to chance. But seeing Yuan Shu's army overwhelmingly rushing towards Yang Zhai City, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. But Huang Cong's words made everyone's feelings relaxed.

By the time Yuan Shu's army was only five hundred steps away from Yangzhai City, the soldiers defending the city began to beat faster.

By the time Yuan Shu's army was only three hundred steps away from Yangzhai City, the soldiers defending the city began to breathe a little bit at this time, and their breathing became less smooth.

Two hundred and fifty paces, the hands of some of the soldiers began to tremble a little.

Two hundred cloths, Huang Cong began to become serious, staring at Yuan Shu's army without the slightest relaxation.

One hundred and eighty paces, Huang Cong began to order: "Archer, one hundred and sixty paces away, throw." At this time, after the archers took out the arrows, adjusted the distance, and threw the arrows, when the arrows fell on the top of the heads of Yuan Shu's army, the people at the head of Yuan Shu's army also happened to be one hundred and sixty steps away from the city wall of Yangzhai City.

The Yangzhou soldiers did not prepare their shields, and when they saw the rain of arrows overhead, they naturally raised their shields above their heads. It's just that the shield has limitations after all, and there will always be places that can't be blocked, so you can only blame those people for their bad luck.

It's normal for someone to fall on the way to charge, and those Yangzhou soldiers haven't seen the world, they have fought and seen blood, and they still know the normal procedures of siege warfare. When entering Yuzhou, the previous battle losses of more than 3,000 were because they had just entered Yuzhou, and there were still many cities that would resist, but they couldn't have much impact, and it would take for a thousand people to die at most.

shot some Yangzhou soldiers, Huang Cong didn't think there was anything remarkable, the real challenge was still to come.

When the Yangzhou soldiers rushed to the city, they quickly set up a cloud ladder. "Stones, rolling logs, throw them at me!" Seeing this, Huang Cong ordered loudly, and at the same time, Huang Cong himself picked up a hundred-and-ten-pound boulder and threw it down at a cloud ladder close to him. The Yangzhou soldiers on the cloud ladder saw a boulder falling, and hurriedly raised the giant shield in their hands. It's just that the boulder weighed more than 100 catties, coupled with the influence of gravitational acceleration, how could the soldier raise the giant shield in a hurry, and he was smashed to the foot of the city wall, and even knocked down the two soldiers behind him.

Huang Cong prepared a large number of rocks and giant trees, which had an effect at this time, where could those Yangzhou soldiers rush up. When Yuan Shu saw this in the rear, he shouted loudly: "Archer, archer, let the archer give it to me." ”

At this time, Yan Xiang, who had not given Yuan Shu advice before, stood up at this time and said: "Lord, our army is unprepared, and the enemy army is vigorous, it is better to camp in the village for the time being, and wait for our army to build all the necessary equipment for the siege of the city, and then it is not too late to attack the city." ”

It can be said that Yan Xiang's advice is still very reasonable, Yuan Shu is powerful, as long as he builds more siege equipment, then taking Yangzhai City is not easy to capture? It's just that Yuan Shu at this time is at the moment of anger, how could he follow Yan Xiang's strategy to temporarily stop the army?

"Master Yan, what you said is not right. The lord is a man of destiny, and he coerced the division of Baisheng to attack this small city of Yangzhai. Then the lord will not open the door and beg to surrender, how can he still ask the lord to withdraw his troops first? Yang Hong stood up again at this time and opened his mouth to refute Yan Xiang's opinion.

Yang Hong can also be regarded as a second-rate pinnacle strategist, otherwise he would not have become the number one strategist of Yuan Shu. Of course, speaking of Yuan Lian's Yan Xiang, the two of them are no worse than Yang Hong, the only difference is that Yang Hong is more good at sycophancy.

Yang Hong could also see that Yuan Shu was wrong at this time, but Yang Hong secretly thought in his heart that although Yuan Shu would increase the losses of Yangzhou soldiers by doing so, in his opinion, Yang Zhai City would still be taken down by Yuan Shu. At this time, the loss is large, and the subsequent actions can be more cautious.

After Yuan Shu listened to Yang Hong's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Yuan Shu is like this, he likes others to follow his wishes, even if he wants to change his opinion, he needs to speak well. Among his several strategists, only Yang Hong was the most loved by Yuan Shu, because Yang Hong was the best at talking.

Yan Xiang looked at this scene, immediately shook his head, sighed, and didn't continue to say anything. As for talking about Yuan Shu, he didn't say anything, he knew Yuan Shu's temperament, so he was too lazy to speak.

After the archers of the Yangzhou army lined up, they quickly achieved results. Previously, the defenders of Yangzhai City were able to deal with the defenders who were about to rush to the city wall, but now, they also had to face arrows that could be added at any time, which suddenly made the soldiers defending the city miserable, and there was a gap in the impenetrable defense.

In fact, not only the soldiers defending the city were suffering, but the Yangzhou soldiers who were besieging the city were also eager to jump down and kick those archers. Those archers were also trembling when they shot arrows, after all, their comrades were still there. Otherwise, the soldiers defending the city would not face such a drizzle, at least a thundershower.

After those Yangzhou soldiers rushed to the city wall, the forbidden troops who had been waiting for a long time moved. The previous defense has always been that Huang Cong is fighting with those strong men, which can also save some body for these forbidden troops. At this time, there will be a direct battle, so naturally it will be up to the regular army.

Those Yangzhou soldiers thought that spring would usher in after climbing the city wall, and then, they saw a soldier in excellent armor, so before they could gain a firm foothold, they were directly killed by those forbidden soldiers.

It's just that as time goes by, there are more and more Yangzhou soldiers who rush to the wall, and those strong men are also beginning to fight with Yangzhou soldiers.

"Except for the Praetorian Guards, all of them are withdrawn." At this time, Huang Cong shouted after killing a Yangzhou soldier who rushed up. Those strong men had never seen blood before, so they fought with the Yangzhou army at this time, and they were all full of blood. But when they have too many casualties, they will be afraid, and then let alone fight with the Yangzhou soldiers, let them go to the city wall as auxiliaries, they will not dare.

After listening to Huang Cong's order, those strong men and the private soldiers of the big family began to slowly retreat under the city wall. At this time, Huang Cong was extremely glad that he had rehearsed how to retreat from the city wall for these rabbles before, and he really used it at this time.

Those condemned prisoners did not retreat at this time, and were still fighting with the Yangzhou soldiers. Huang Cong saw that Zhu Yu and they had no intention of falling behind in the confrontation with Yangzhou soldiers, and immediately felt that it was an extremely correct choice to let these death row prisoners come out. Those who have seen blood are sometimes even more courageous than some of those who have served in the army.

"Kill me!" Seeing that these death row prisoners were so heroic, Huang Cong shouted, and then rushed forward with a spear to fight. Those forbidden soldiers are the elite of the Great Han, but they are very proud. There was an assassin who escaped from the palace before, and at this time nothing can be said to be worse than these condemned prisoners.

As a result, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers defending the city, but they are all fearless of death, and the training of the forbidden army is far beyond that of other soldiers.

Although the Yangzhou army has a large number of people, there is a limit to the number of people that can be accommodated on this city wall, and no matter how many Yangzhou troops there are, they can only put three or two thousand people on this city wall.

However, Huang Cong still has to be glad that Yuan Shao did not attack on all sides at the same time, so Huang Cong could gather troops to fight against Yuan Shu.

Fought until it was dark, and the Yangzhou army finally did not take Yangzhai City, and Yuan Shu had no choice but to retreat first and fight again in the coming day. On this day, however, the losses of the forbidden army reached more than 200, and the casualties of those auxiliaries also reached more than 500, and the situation was not optimistic. xh118
