Shangyong offense and defense

On the main road to the new city, an army was marching rapidly; "How long will it take to get to the new city," Zhuge Qiao asked a person next to him who led the way

"At this rate, we will be able to reach the new city after dark."

"Qin Shan sent an order to go down, the whole army advanced at full speed, and entered the city before dark"

When people concentrate on one thing, time always runs so fast.

"The general appeared at the south gate, thousands of sergeants are waving our flags, you go and take a look" The soldiers came to Liu Feng's room, Liu Feng, who was originally going to sleep, immediately jumped up when he heard the news, my sergeants at the south gate, and thousands of people, could it be that something happened to Bo Song?

When I came to the South Gate Tower, I looked down and suddenly felt that the situation was not good, "It's really Bosong, could it be that Qiuyanling was captured so quickly?"

Came to the city gate, "What's the matter, I'm preparing to dare to come to support Qiu Yanling tomorrow" Liu Feng asked hurriedly

"Let's go into the city, we've been on the road for two whole days," Zhuge Qiao said with a very haggard look

New Town Chamber; "What's the matter with Bosong, could it be that Qiuyanling was captured by Xu Huang" Liu Feng asked anxiously, no wonder Liu Feng was so anxious, if Qiuyanling was really captured so quickly, wouldn't Shangyong City be exposed to the enemy's blade.

"Xu Huang seems to know our strength, so without the slightest hesitation, he threw his troops and attacked the mountain directly from the periphery, we were beaten unprepared, fortunately we withdrew in time, otherwise I don't know if I can stand in front of you" "By the way, how did you capture the new city" Zhuge Qiao asked curiously.

"It's a long story, it's really just a fluke of luck."

"Where's the judge! What do you do with him?"

"The Inquisitor and the other rebels are now locked up, and the four thousand soldiers in the city have been taken in by me."

"I still have more than 4,000 people left here, plus your 5,000 people, the original 4,000 people in the new city, and now there are more than 13,000 people in the city, if it is more than enough to defend Xu Huang, it's just 、、、" Zhuge Qiao suddenly hesitated.

"Just what、、、

"According to the report of the spies, Xu Huang led the army to Shangyong, and at this time, it was impossible for Shangyong City to hold the attack of Xu Huang's 50,000 army with only 2,000 people."

"Tomorrow, I will lead the army to support Shangyong in person"

"Nope! Gotta go now; You are now leading 8,000 soldiers and hurrying to Shangyong, and it is too late; In addition, you send a letter to Hanzhong to ask for help, if Wei Yan can reach the siege of Shangyong, it will naturally be lifted, it depends on whether you can rush to Shangyong City immediately."

"That's the only way, I will immediately prepare the military and march overnight, and the new city will be handed over to you" Liu Feng resolutely decided.

Looking at Liu Feng's back, "This trip is really not wrong, Liu Feng has the talent of a general, as long as he goes to Chengdu in the future to cut off the father-son relationship with Liu Bei and only be the general of the king of Hanzhong, he will definitely be able to be a general; In fact, this time to save Liu Feng is also a previous life, when I read the Three Kingdoms, I felt very sorry for Liu Feng, such a great general died at the hands of political means" Thinking of Zhuge Qiao, he was relieved, after all, now Liu Feng's credit will definitely make up for it.

The next day, Shangyong City; The council hall "reported, General Yan found a large number of Cao troops fifty miles outside the city, and there were tens of thousands of people" A scout-like person came to report

"Brother Wen, how do you think you should deal with this matter," Yan Tong asked Wen Shen next to him

"What the scout just said was that Cao Jun was found fifty miles away, which means that the young general was not found, so the young general must have gone to attack the new city after the failure of the ambush in Qiuyanling, and the Cao army came so quickly to prove that the young general had successfully assassinated, as long as the young general took the new city, he would inevitably come to the rescue of Shangyong, I think they must be on the way; Cao Jun doesn't know what the strength of the army in my city is, Xu Huang is not a reckless person, he will set up camp today, and he will attack tomorrow, so we only use our best to hold on to the reinforcements tomorrow, if the reinforcements still do not arrive at that time, we will also do our best" Wen Shen analyzed the battle situation in a comprehensive manner.

"Just do as you say, I'll go and prepare the equipment to defend the city, and fight to the death with Cao's army."

Xu Huang really didn't attack the city immediately, but chose to set up camp and prepare siege equipment: "General Wu, at night, you lead 5,000 soldiers to hide in the dense forest in front of the west gate, and when I give you a signal tomorrow afternoon, you will attack the city as fast as possible, so be sure to attack the city at the fastest speed; The rest of the people will follow me to attack the city at the east gate in front of me," Xu Huang began to arrange for tomorrow's siege.

The next day, "the general and the enemy are assembled at the east gate and are preparing to attack the city", and the soldiers defending the city rushed to report.

"Let's go, follow me to the east gate to meet the enemy" Yan Tong was about to lead his troops to the east gate, but the "slow" Wen Shen stopped Yan Tong for some reason; "Wen Zhi, what do you mean by this," Yan Tong asked in surprise;

"Xu Huang has tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to attack only the east gate, he may be luring you to lead most of the defense of the east gate, and if he makes a surprise attack to break through the rest of the city gates, Shangyong will be in danger" Wen Shen also said anxiously.

"Then I will lead 800 soldiers to guard the east gate, and the rest of the city gates will be guarded by 400 people in each city," Yan Tong ordered

When he came to the gate of the city, he looked into the distance, which really frightened Yan Tong; I saw that there must be at least 30,000 men under the city, and they were preparing the equipment for the siege; "Hold on for a day, I'll guard for an hour or so" Yan Tong was already stunned by the formation below, but he couldn't show it, he would be the courage of the soldiers.

The eight hundred soldiers at the head of the city have already been prepared, and the equipment to defend the city is waiting solemnly, this army is a veteran brought by Meng Da from Jingzhou Yidu before, although the Cao army is fierce, but they still do not show a timid side.

"Soldiers, Cao's army is about to attack the city, are you afraid?" Yan Tong shouted from a high place

"Don't be afraid"

"Good! What we want is your spirit, we only need to hold on for one day, and the major general will inevitably arrive," Yan Tong continued to encourage; In fact, he himself didn't know when Liu Feng would arrive, so he should encourage morale.

On the road from Xincheng to Shangyong, there is an army marching at the fastest speed, "Let's hold on, the brothers of Shangyong City are fighting bloodily, we must dare to support as quickly as possible" Liu Feng kept encouraging the soldiers.

"General, we will have to arrive at least in the afternoon," an officer-looking man told Liu Feng

"No matter what time it arrives, we must rush to Shangyong as quickly as possible," Liu Feng replied resolutely

Shangyong City; At this time, Xu Huang has given the military order to attack, Xu Huang is a good general of the five sons, the siege position of the march has been more than 20 years, and the siege position is naturally impeccable, it only took nearly half an hour to fill the moat, and then it was a fierce siege battle, there were archers under the city who kept suppressing, and there were countless Cao soldiers climbing the ladder in the city; The soldiers on the city used boiling water, stones, and rolling wood to hit the enemy mercilessly, and the boiling water fell into a miserable scream, and after an hour of perseverance, the Cao army actually retreated, perhaps this was just Xu Huang in order to find out the strength of the enemy's defense.

After Cao's army retreated, Yan Tong immediately ordered another hundred people to be drawn from the other city gates to support, according to Yan Tong's words, 'I can't manage so much, and if I don't send people to support the east city gate, I can't defend it'

At this time, Xu Huang fell into deep thought, "The enemy ambushed in Qiuyanling is only 6,000 people at most, and the Shangyong defenders belong to the border counties, which should be no less than 5,000 people, and the number of counterattacks and arrows from the city all show that the defenders in the city are less than 1,000 people, and the army brought by Liu Feng from Yizhou is about 10,000, so it is impossible for Shangyong City to have no defenders, does Liu Feng want to calculate against me" Xu Huang was analyzing the battlefield; But he didn't know that the real strength of Shangyong City was only two thousand;

"The general will give me 3,000 men, and I will open the gates," said one of the generals on his own initiative.

"Don't be impatient, there's something wrong with the city, hold off the attack," Xu Huang responded.

After that, Xu Huang analyzed the entire battlefield situation, including the terrain, which could not deal a devastating blow to him, so Xu Huang made a very correct step and agreed to the general's request just now, "Wu Hua, give you 3,000 people, and it is a problem to open the city gate in an hour."

"No problem" Wu Hua took the order without any thought, which was an opportunity for him to make a contribution.

After a few war drums, Wu Hua led the three thousand people, carrying ladders and swords and shields, and began to rush up the city;

After throwing down more than 100 corpses, he finally came to the city wall, and without hesitation, he set up a ladder and a shield; The city is also mercilessly poured boiling water, throwing down rolling stones, rolling wood, the casualties of the besieging side gradually increased, and the defenders of the city were also affected by the random arrows of some of the crossbowmen under the city, fortunately Shangyong and Xiangyang This section of the road is a mountain road large siege equipment can not be transported, otherwise if there is a catapult to throw down the stones, the defender of the city with a thousand people must not have a trace of backhand power.
