After a day of war, at dusk, Zhang Yang finally withdrew his troops.

In fact, at the last moment of the evening, Zhang Yangjun broke through the small half of the city tower, so that they once saw the hope of success in a war, the city wall over there I don't know if it was because it couldn't withstand the pressure of too many people, it collapsed a corner, and in an instant, countless soldiers climbed the ladder and poured up from this mouth, and the small place of the sesame mung bean was almost full, and there were people below and below who continued to come up, and the people inside could only keep pushing out, and finally spread to the periphery, and finally attracted the attention of all the defenders on the city wall.

Finding that so many enemy troops ran up at once, the recruits who were just coming to the battle formation were stunned, they didn't know what they were going to do at the moment, and in the end it was Lu Bu who personally led the troops into battle to kill the enemy, and with his incomparable bravery, he killed more than a dozen low-level officers and countless small soldiers one after another, which greatly boosted the morale of the sluggish fighters.

However, at the end of this day, they were not completely without gains, with the price of nearly 5,000 casualties, not only in exchange for the less than 3,000 defenders on the head of the city were either dead or wounded, leaving more than 700 corpses and wounded everywhere, and the city wall that was not very reliable in Pingzhou was already full of holes after such a day's tragic blow, and in the end, almost all of Lu Bu used people to go up directly to fill the vacancy, and he even stood there in person, awe-inspiring like a god of war.

At this time, standing on the city tower with a corner missing, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yang and finally gathered his troops and set up camp, but there was no joy on his face.

At this moment, there were corpses and traces of flesh and blood everywhere on the city tower, even his feet felt muddy, and the turbid red color irritated people's eyes and brains, making people dare not look more.

Now it is those people who are cleaning up the battlefield, these people are naturally requisitioned on the spot in Pingzhou, many people have never experienced war, they are ordinary people, most of them suddenly see such a scene, most of them are under great psychological pressure, and some people even see it once and vomit once. This is also a normal physiological response.

In this regard, Lu Bu has been able to deal with it with a very calm mind and vision. He was frowning now, worried about how long the wall would last.

Lu Bu had considered a lot of factors before, he was mentally prepared for the bravery of Zhang Yangjun's appearance, and he was also mentally prepared for the "weakness" of the Pingzhou city wall, but when the two were combined, the result was still slightly unexpected.

His ideal state, of course, is to rely on more than 2,000 people to draw some young men from the city at the necessary time to do something as simple as moving stones and smashing people. At least hold this small city for no less than four days, so that the news he has to wait for will reach Zhang Yang's side, and then he can make the second step according to Zhang Yang's reaction, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid this is not easy to achieve.

Of course, the situation is still under his grasp. It's just that in Lu Bu's heart, he didn't mean to block Zhang Yang's army with this city wall, after all, only in this way can he be more able to add to his prestige, otherwise even if he wins in the final victory of this duel with Zhang Yang, it will be a victory for Zhi, and Lu Bu, the flying general who is most familiar with the Bingzhou army, is a representative of strength.

Back in the county office, Lu Bu didn't feel tired, but a trace of sorrow lingering in his heart could not be dispelled.

Jia Xu looked at him like this. Then he said: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much. There is a lord who personally sits in charge of the overall situation, and the soldiers use their lives. Today, Zhang Yang's side also suffered heavy losses, the so-called killing of one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-losses, although Pingzhou City is not strong enough, but we are condescending, the other party did not achieve results under such a tragic siege, presumably the morale will also be hit to a certain extent. ”

Lu Bu nodded, noncommittal, but at this moment, he heard the two officials next to him discussing:

"This damn weather, I'm about to freeze to death......"

"Isn't it, I'm afraid the river is freezing this weather."

"Haha, there's no river around here."

"Which is talking about here, Lao Tzu is talking about the Yellow River."

"It's not just the river, it's the snow on the ground that's about to freeze."

The ground, frozen? Hearing these two words, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked people to go down and gather in the lobby.

When they sat down in the lobby and let the group of civil and military officers also sit away, Lu Bu smiled and said, "What do you think of the temperature now?" ”

Hao Meng said worriedly: "Wen Hou, some of the soldiers have already felt the wind cold, this weather is too tormenting. ”

Lu Bu nodded, but said: "But for us, it's not a good thing, now that we have entered Xiaohan, it is the coldest time of the year, and it is normal for snow to fall and freeze." Isn't the city wall of Pingzhou damaged, and we don't need to spend that time and energy to repair it, it will be destroyed tomorrow, so tonight we will order someone to pour water on the city wall, and we will see tomorrow......"

When he said this, Lu Bu's eyes looked very determined, not like he was untargeted, so although the generals had doubts, they still took the order.

And Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu's gaze, but it flashed with a hint of essence.

……

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Yang got up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned, when he heard someone outside asking to see him, and when he came in, he heard the man shouting: "It's not good to make the king, then Pingzhou City, Pingzhou City ......."

Maybe he choked for a while because he was running too fast, and he was so out of breath in such a cold weather that he might not be able to utter a complete sentence for a long time, but the gas he spit out was wound into various shapes in the air.

Zhang Yang frowned, and simply opened the camp tent and looked outside, from here he could see the Pingzhou city wall in the distance at a glance, and he was also stunned for a moment.

"What's going on?" I don't know if I'm muttering to myself, or if I'm asking the pro-soldier next to me.

The pro-soldier who reported shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know ......."

Zhang Yang suddenly felt a chill at this time, and hurriedly returned to the tent, but his face was gloomy.

When he put on his armor and came out again, looking at the Pingzhou city wall in front of him, which had become shiny overnight, Zhang Yang really had a feeling of hopefulness and indescribable sighing.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Zhang Yang asked the generals who were called by Zhang Yang, but they were speechless one by one.

They may still be good at fighting, but it is really difficult to answer such questions.

At this moment, a general who was on patrol last night raised his hand and said: "Envoy, my subordinates suddenly remembered that when they were patrolling last night, their subordinates noticed that the enemy seemed to be pouring water everywhere on the city tower, and they also specially reported it to the lord. At that time, I didn't know what it meant, and the lord didn't respond, but I don't know if it had anything to do with it. ”

"Watering?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, "Pour water on the city wall, why?" ”

At this moment, he heard a complaint not far away: "This damn weather, freeze me to death......"

Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Frozen? By the way, it's freezing, and I'm afraid it's the ice formed by the enemy's watering last night and cooling it overnight. ”

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, the generals looked at each other, but finally accepted his explanation, because they are not unreasonable people, as long as they are punctured, they can naturally see the truth.

Originally, they were still excited last night that they had achieved a heavy victory, and Zhang Yang did not sneak attack at night because of the need for a buffer period because the consumption during the day was too great, so that the soldiers could stay in good shape and fight again in the future, and it was not easy to sneak attack at night in this weather, but they didn't expect that because of this, they seemed to have lost a good opportunity.

It was really hard work for half a day, and one night back to half a day ago-now looking at such a wall, how could they continue to attack the city?

Everyone knows that the ice is the most slippery, and at this time, let alone let people climb the castle tower, even if the ladder is erected on the city wall, it is not easy to stabilize it.

That's a real headache!

In fact, what Lou Gui originally did in history was to pour a mound of earth into a city of ice, which is the so-called overnight city, but Lu Bu only poured the outer layer of the wall facing the enemy army into ice, and above the city tower was the defenders, and this ice wall could cause obstacles to the opponent's siege to the greatest extent.

Lu Bu also saw the city wall so dilapidated yesterday, maybe the next day, let the enemy attack casually a few times, he would be forced to retreat into the street battle, and then when he heard the conversation between the two officials, he suddenly thought of this plan, but Lou Gui's method of watering and freezing the city is of course the "exclusive secret recipe", Lu Bu didn't learn the essence, but for the freezing of this city wall, it can still be done, and then it depends on how Zhang Yang's side responds.

Zhang Yang was very distressed at this time, although he was somewhat disappointed that he did not attack the city tower yesterday, but the results achieved were also satisfactory, and he also specially ordered people to watch the movements of the people on the city wall, once they found the act of repairing the city wall, they immediately launched a night attack, but they didn't expect that the other party had no intention of repairing the city wall at all, and they were there all night to water the city wall, and the general did report the situation to Zhang Yang last night, but Zhang Yang was just smiling and not very concerned at the time. But seeing this scene today, he had no way to do it and didn't care.

He didn't know whose idea it was, but at this time, if he still rashly launched an attack on the city, I am afraid that it would not be appropriate, and now he really has the mind to scold his mother, and he still regrets why he didn't simply take advantage of the victory to pursue last night, maybe there will not be so many things today.

At this time, most of the soldiers in Zhang Yang's army saw the scene on the city wall of Pingzhou City, and when they saw the smooth surface, everyone could see that there was a layer of ice on the outer edge of the city wall. (To be continued.) )
