Gao Ran saw that Zhang Jaw was about to apologize for his crimes, so he quickly grabbed it and persuaded: "Don't be like this!" This victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is indeed dishonorable to occasionally miscalculate and fall into the enemy's treacherous schemes. But if he kills himself, will he be the one who has done it? The lord is very dependent on the general, and the general should cherish himself even more. I'll wait and go back first, report to the lord, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and then have a shame before the snow, which is the right way! ”

With a long sigh, he put his sword back into his sheath and led his troops and horses again, silent along the way.

Guan Yu received the victorious soldiers and returned to the city, and immediately came to see Zhou Cang. Fortunately, he was only stabbed in the shoulder socket by the open jaw, although the sores were quite deep, but it did not hurt the vital point. After being treated by a military doctor, he was able to recuperate and recover.

Guan Yu put his mind at ease, hurriedly summoned all the civil and military forces to the Chinese army, and ordered: "Although Zhang Jaw and the others are defeated and left, Yuan Shao will definitely raise a large army and come again." Licheng Pool is narrow and the wall is low, and it is not enough to hold on. You returned to the base camp as soon as possible, gathered the soldiers and horses under your command, and moved troops overnight to take back Jinan! ”

When Zhou Tai and Zhang Yu heard Guan Yu's words, they were shocked at the same time, opened their mouths quickly, and opened their mouths to ask: "Overseer, I heard that Jinan has been occupied by Yuan Shao, and the scouts have reported back." Now there are Yuan Shao's generals Chun Yuqiong leading 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend it. The city of Jinan is high and wide, and the fortifications are complete, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to attack. If Yuan Shao learns that he will divide the army to rescue, then he will suffer from the enemy on his back, and I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army! ”

Guan Yu had a long hand and a smile, "Don't I know?" You need not worry, just do what our army orders. When the soldiers are coming to the city, they will definitely be captured! ”

Everyone saw that Guan Yu was so confident, although they didn't know what the magic plan was, but no one dared to say more, and they all gave orders and went to make arrangements.

That night, halfway through the hour, everything was silent. The soldiers and horses of Licheng are divided into five roads, and they go out of the city one after another, and the whole army is full of people and horses, all the way to the east, and quietly advances.

After Guan Yu gave up Jinan, although Yuan Shao advocated destroying Guan Yu first, he knew that Jinan and Linzi were empty and must be taken, so he still sent two soldiers and horses to occupy two cities.

Linzi is the most strategic place in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang, the general of the left guard, to lead a heavy army to defend it; The geographical location of Jinan is extremely special for itself and the Huwei army, and it is also the place of the Huwei army, and the fortifications are extremely complete.

Therefore, it is also the top priority, Yuan Shao sent his henchman Chun Yuqiong to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend it.

This Chun Yuqiong is a veteran and famous general in Hebei, and was once one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, just like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Later, Yuan Shao's troops rose from the Bohai Sea, and Chun Yuqiong led his troops to vote, Yuan Shao was very important to him, and he was used as a general, and most of everything was discussed with him.

Chun Yuqiong naturally knew the importance of Jinan, and after leading the troops and horses to the city, he did not slack off. The fortifications were strengthened with four walls, and six troops and horses patrolled the city day and night. He also released scouts from near and far, and diligently investigated.

Chun Yuqiong knew that the Huwei army was good at night fighting, so even at night, it was constantly patrolling.

Although Guan Yu took advantage of the night to raise troops and sneak quietly, he still couldn't completely avoid the long-distance spies under Chun Yu Qiongbu.

The tiger roared and ordered the soldiers and horses to be twenty miles away from Jinan, and Chun Yuqiong had already received the news, laughing, "Sure enough, as I expected!" How can you hold on to the land of Licheng? I knew that Guan Yu would inevitably take Jinan again. Now he wants to take advantage of my unpreparedness and raise troops to attack at night, which is really wishful thinking! Where's the scout!? ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Ru quickly went to Ju County, reported to the lord, and hurriedly sent a large army to come. Fight with me on both sides and exterminate Guan Yu! ”

"Yes!"

"Generals! Quickly return to the battalions, point out the deployment of troops and horses, go to the wall to defend the palace, and cut off those who slack off! ”

"Yes!"

After Chun Yuqiong finished arranging, he immediately put on his full clothes, got on the horse with a sword, and went to the east gate to command and guard.

Guan Yu led the soldiers and horses to the city of Jinan, only to see that the city was already in full battle, and the lanterns and torches illuminated the entire city wall inside and outside.

Guan Yu couldn't help but smile, stroked his long hair, and said to the generals around him: "This Chun Yuqiong is quite a bit of a pound, and when he came here in the middle of the night, the defense of the city head can be so neat." I heard that the good emperor will be able to fight at night without being alarmed, and will be able to change without chaos. It's a pity that it fell into the hands of Guan, but it was also his life."

Zhou Tai Zhang Yu was the closest to Guan Yu, and he had already seen the lights on the city and was well prepared. couldn't help but be secretly frightened, hearing Guan Yu say this, the two generals didn't understand what they meant.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask again: "Overseer, since the city has been prepared, what should we do?" ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "It's okay, you two will each lead an army, and go to the north and south gates to prepare for the formation, but I can hear that the horn cannon is sounding here, and you will attack the city immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

Zhou Tai and Zhang Yu responded to the order together, led their own divisions and horses, and acted separately. Zhang Yu to the left, to the north gate of Jinan South; Zhou Tai went to the right and went to the south gate to arrange.

Guan Yu sent a small colonel to shout near the city gate, "Everyone on the wall listen!" The Tiger Mighty Army's Tiger Roar has ordered the Overseer to lead his troops and horses here! You quickly offer the city gate, bow your head and surrender, Rao Er will not die! After a little hesitation, the army broke through the city, and asked Er to wait for no piece of armor left! ”

Chun Yuqiong laughed and shouted: "Guan Yu! People say that you are a wise and brave general, and today's view of it is nothing more than that! You think that Jinan City is the place you discarded, and our army must be less guarded, but you can take advantage of the situation to enter and take the city again. If you change to someone else's guard, you may succeed in your treacherous scheme. But unfortunately, you fell into the hands of General Ben, and it was bad luck. Hahahaha! Guan yu! If you have the courage, you will come and fight against my wall, and you will be buried under the city. ”

Guan Yu was humiliated by Chun Yuqiong like this, and he was not angry, but looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed to the head of the city and said: "Chun Yuxiaoer, don't talk wildly!" Thou art a frog at the bottom of the well, and thou art the heavens and the earth wide!? Today, I will let you see what the way of using soldiers is! ”

When Guan Yu said this, his face changed abruptly, and he gave an order, "Ignite the cannon!" ”。

Hearing the order, the trumpeter of the army moved and lit the cannon, and with a sound, the ground shook and the mountains shook.

Zhou Tai and Zhang Yu heard the sound of cannons in the north and south gates, knew that it was a signal, and hurriedly gave an order, and the first crossbowmen rushed out, and Gao Yun's crossbow and ten thousand arrows fired together, pressing the head of the city.

Guan Yu's side also launched a formation almost at the same time, and the same crossbowmen flew to suppress the defenders at the head of the city.

The range of the Gao Yun crossbow is almost twice that of a normal bow crossbow, although it is fought from the bottom up, and the position occupies a disadvantage. However, the comparative advantage of the crossbow machine was too great, and it still pressed the defenders on the head of the city to the top of the city.

Chun Yuqiong also shrank behind the battlement at this time, secretly surprised in her heart, "It is said that the Huwei army is brave and good at fighting, but I didn't expect that there would be such an artifact, and it must be a vicious battle to defend the city wall this time." I only hope that the lord will send troops and horses to come quickly, so that it can ......."

Although the advantage of Gao Yun's crossbow is great, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it will be temporarily invalid after ten rounds.

When the flight was lost, although the city hardly dared to show its head. However, Chun Yuqiong's soldiers and horses were not weak brigades, and as soon as the arrow array under the city was completed, the defensive sequence was immediately resumed at the head of the city.

Guan Yu seemed to be invisible, made a move of the Qinglong Knife, and commanded the second array of sword soldiers, "Siege the city!" ”
