Yan Rou, Budugen, and Kebineng came to Ningyang City with hundreds of thousands of grassland light horses. Looking at the tens of thousands of defenders on the head of the city, a grim smile hung on the corner of Yan Rou's mouth.

In Yan Rou's opinion, now that the three princes of Yanzhou are fighting with each other, it is impossible for the defenders in Ningyang City to get any hope of reinforcements. In the face of his hundreds of thousands of grassland warriors, Ningyang City launched a posture of defending the city, which was just a futile struggle.

Thinking of this, Yan Rou looked at Bu Dugen, who had bloodthirsty eyes beside him, and Ke Bineng, who was silent, and said, "Let the soldiers all dismount, distribute the siege equipment prepared earlier, and lead it by the leaders of each department, and prepare for the siege." ”

After saying these words, the two of them went to deploy all this, and Yan Rou rode his horse to a stone's throw away from the city wall, looked at the defenders on the city head who seemed to have little combat effectiveness, and shouted: "The defenders in the city listen, the army of my three clans has arrived, and those who know each other hurry up and surrender the city, and they can spare your lives." Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be the day when you will wait for your body to be in a different place. I will give you a stick of incense time to consider, when the time comes, if there is no reply, my army of three clans will kill this Ningyang city! ”

Yan Rou knows the wisdom of the Han people's art of war, and naturally knows that attacking the city and trapping the ground, killing is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top! Therefore, if he can take this Ningyang City without blood, he will naturally be happy to see it. However, whether or not to spare these defenders is actually just talking, anyway, he is sparing, as for what Budugen and Kebi can do, he doesn't know.

The two brothers, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, who were hidden in the defenders of the city, heard Yan Rou's words under the city, and Qi Qi turned his head to look at Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei, who were hiding behind the city wall and talking happily, with a look of resentment in their eyes.

The two brothers went to the city in the costumes of small soldiers, observing the situation hard, while Boss Cao was there with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao with a wine glass, talking about the wind and snow, and the general trend of the world.

In fact, there are not only the two Xiahou brothers, Zhang Fei, and Liyi in this city, but they also obeyed the orders of their bosses, dressed up as small soldiers, and hid in the defenders of these cities.

As for those defenders at the head of the city, if Yan Rou regarded these defenders as the kind of defenders who did not enter the stream, it would be a big mistake. Yan Rou didn't know, but the four of them were clear, these defenders were the elites of the three princes, Cao Ying's tiger and leopard cavalry, Liu Bei's white-eared elite soldiers, and Yuan Shao's first dead soldiers.

Although the four of them all knew that these elite soldiers might not be as good as Sun Ling's sword battalion, they could still do it against those barbarian warriors who abandoned their war horses and chose to attack the city.

What's more, in this battle, these elite soldiers in Ningyang City defending the city are just a disguise, the most important thing is the 120,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Hong, Guan Yu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other four generals behind the barbarian army, and even Sun Ling's heavy cavalry of the sword battalion, as long as one of them arrives, it is enough to kill those barbarian troops under the city to cry and cry for their mother. This is the script written by Cao Ying and other three Han land heroes, for Yan Rou and other three grassland heroes, and the script for the destruction of this place.

Behind the city wall, Cao Ying Zhengxu and Yuan Shao talked about all kinds of ups and moons in Luoyang, Liu Bei had never experienced these because of his youth and hardship, so he didn't join in, so he could only focus on Zhang Fei at the head of the city, praying that his reckless third brother would not make any trouble later.

"Xuande doesn't have to worry too much, there are good generals like us at the head of the city, and the more than 10,000 defenders are all elite, even if the barbarian army outside the city attacks the city, it is enough to resist them for a few days. What's more, the hundreds of thousands of troops we are waiting for are rushing towards Ningyang City, and the barbarian army outside the city will not be able to stumble for long. When Cao Ying was with Yuan Shaoxu and the snake, he was also always paying attention to Liu Bei, who he considered more threatening than Yuan Shao. Seeing him looking at the city, he thought that he was worried that the barbarian army outside the city would break through the city, so he laughed and persuaded him.

Hearing this, Liu Bei glanced at Cao Ying in surprise, knowing that he had misunderstood his worries, and he didn't say anything, but just followed his words and said: "What Brother Meng De said is very true, but he is too careful. ”

Seeing that Cao Ying seemed to value Liu Bei very much, Yuan Shao disagreed in his heart, and said with a sneer: "No matter what you Liu Xuande says, you are also a state pastor, a figure with tens of thousands of troops in your hands, how can you be so timid?" If it spreads, wouldn't the people of this world be ashamed of me, Yuan Shao, who has no vision, and is in the company of people like you! ”

In the face of Yuan Shao's provocation, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a fierce murderous intent, but he was well restrained. squeezed out a smile and said with a light smile: "The original brother was born in the family of the three princes, how can he compare with his brother?" What a shame! ”

Hearing Liu Bei's compliment, Yuan Shao was very useful, so he didn't make it difficult for him anymore, but just picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhi behind Yuan Shao, after hearing his words of self-confidence, couldn't help frowning, and there was a sense of wanting to speak and stopping in his hesitant demeanor. The judge raised his eyebrows slightly, and then regained his indifference again, as if he didn't feel anything wrong with this.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Ju Pei, the three strategists under Yuan Shao, all knew very well that Liu Bei was definitely the best ally for him now, but the performance of the three of them was also different. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu all had the intention of persuading Yuan Shao, but because Cao Ying and Liu Bei were there, some words were not easy to say. As for the trial, he knows Yuan Shao's temperament very well, although he knows the importance of Liu Bei, but he will not provoke Yuan Shao's authority for this kind of thing, because it is a matter of asking for hardship.

For the three strategists behind Yuan Shao, Tian Yu, who was standing behind Liu Bei, had also been observing them, and after seeing the performance of the three of them, Tian Yu smiled coldly in his heart. It seems that this Yuan Shao is not only proud of his identity, but also as his own master said when he was fair, he is a stubborn person! Otherwise, the three strategists behind him would have already advised him, and would never have hesitated like this.

Thinking of this, Tian Yu gave up his observation of Tian Feng and the others, after all, even if Tian Feng and the three of them were talented, in his opinion, if they didn't meet the Ming Lord, it would be in vain! Obviously, Tian Yu's thoughts are: Yuan Shao has an empty family background, but he is not the master of the Ming Dynasty.

Turning his gaze to the person behind Cao Ying, Tian Yu's eyes had a trace of solemnity. Because Cao Ying came to Ningyang City this time, like Liu Bei, he only brought one strategist, that is, Cheng Yu, who was standing behind him at this time.

Tian Yu had actually noticed Cheng Yu for a long time, but because Cheng Yu had always looked like he had nothing to do with him no matter what happened, Tian Yu had never been able to see through him. However, being able to let a hero like Cao Ying, on such an important occasion, only bring him to Ningyang City alone, is enough to show that this person is definitely not a mediocre talent, and Tian Yu still knows this in his heart.

Cheng Yu had been thinking about what kind of action Sun Ling would take after the barbarian army was wiped out. Suddenly noticing that someone was looking at him, he raised his head and looked over. When he found that it was Tian Yu looking at him, Cheng Yu smiled and nodded.

Tian Yu would look at himself, and Cheng Yu was not surprised. As if he wanted to confirm his own depth, he had followed him before.

However, just like what Tian Yu saw from him, Cheng Yu couldn't see Tian Yu's depth. It is precisely because of this that Cheng Yu treats Tian Yu more friendly, and does not look down on him because of his age.

"Prepare for the oil and hold the city!" Just when Tian Yu wanted to talk to Cheng Yu and probe his details, Xiahou Yuan's roar came from the city.

Hearing Xiahou Yuan's roar, Cao Ying looked at Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, who were silent, and said with a smile: "It seems that the time for a stick of incense has passed, and those barbarian armies outside the city can't wait, are the two of you willing to accompany you to the city to have a look?" It is also good to boost the morale of those soldiers! ”

"Since Meng De invited him to boost the morale of the soldiers, how can you be preoccupied with beauty? Shao is naturally going with you! Hearing Cao Ying's invitation, Yuan Shao was not to be outdone.

"Let's go!" Because of Yuan Shao's anger just now, Liu Bei didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he also echoed.

At the head of the city, several generals dressed in small soldier costumes hurriedly came to the three of them after seeing that their bosses had gone to the city and handed over their respective responsibilities to their lieutenants, fearing that something would happen to them. And when those elite soldiers saw their lord go to the city, they were even more imposing, raising the weapons in their hands and shouting loudly.

Yan Rou saw that his side had begun to attack the city, and the morale of the defenders at the head of the city had increased instead of decreasing, and couldn't help but say to herself with some doubts: "What's going on?" However, the defenders of more than 10,000 troops, in the face of the siege of more than 100,000 troops, not only did not have a low morale, but their morale was high. Is there an ambush in this city? It's impossible, Cao Ying, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao are fighting, where can they take care of here?"

Hearing this, Bu Dugen, who was eager to try, looked at the defenders at the head of the city, and said fiercely: "Yan Rou, you just think too much. In my opinion, these defenders are nothing more than a bluff! When the city is broken, I will slaughter the Han people in this city, and see who will dare to resist our army in the future! ”

"That's right, since there are no reinforcements, then these defenders' move is naturally a bluff!" Bu Dugen's words undoubtedly gave Yan Rou, who was hesitant, a reassurance.

Looking up at the defenders on the head of the city who were pouring fire oil towards the city wall, wanting to use it to resist their own army landing on the city, Yan Rou sneered on his lips, pointed to the city head, and ordered the more than 30,000 archers behind him: "Archers go out of battle!" ”

Under Yan Rou's order, more than 30,000 archers came within the range of the front of the battle to the head of the city, pulled the string and set up arrows, aimed at the head of the city, and waited for the order to launch.

Koji had been observing the archers left behind by the barbarian army, and when he saw them come out of the battle formation, he shouted to the first dead soldiers who had been squatting under the battlements and hiding: "First dead soldiers, prepare!" ”

"Put!" Seeing that the front army had begun to climb the ladder, the defenders at the head of the city did not drop their torches and ignited the oil of fire. Yan Rou thought she had grasped the opportunity and ordered the archers again.

"Get up, block!" Seeing the overwhelming array of arrows being thrown from the phalanx of barbarian archers towards the head of the city, Koji yelled at the soldiers who had been hiding under the city for a long time.

Seeing that the archers released the arrows on the bowstring, Yan Rou seemed to have seen the defenders of the city fall one by one, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger. It wasn't until he saw the thousands of soldiers who had come out from under the battlements with huge shields in front of the defenders of the city that the smile on his lips had suddenly stopped, and his face was full of gloom.

The arrows shot by more than 30,000 archers landed on the thousands of large shields held by the first dead soldiers, and the sound of "dong dong" constantly sounded as the shields and arrows hit each other.

"Light the oil!" Without waiting for Yan Rou to accept this cruel fact, Xiahou Yuan at the head of the city ordered the soldiers who were holding torches and hiding behind the first dead soldiers.

The tens of thousands of arrows that were suddenly blocked, the flaming city walls, the tens of thousands of siege troops who retreated screaming, and the cheering defenders at the head of the city, all of this made Yan Rou's mind constantly echo three words: impossible!
