"Master Hou doesn't have to worry too much, war is always unavoidable, it will affect farming, and the people outside the city have moved into the city, so there shouldn't be too many casualties." Tang Li comforted.

"My Linzi foundation is weak, but I can't withstand their wanton tossing." Zhao Jun shook his head, and finally looked at Wei Yu and said, "Military Master, what do you think Ge Ying means by this?" ”

Wei Yi smiled and said: "Besiege but not attack, and try his best to pick the sore spot of the Hou Ye, obviously, he is forcing us to divide the troops, but looking at the number of troops attacked in each county, no more, no less, if the old man is right, Ge Ying's real purpose is to storm Linzi after the Hou Ye divides the troops." ”

Zhao Jun was stunned, this Ge Ying really did everything, "Then how should we crack it?" ”

"It's very simple, just use the old method last time, just see the move, since he wants Hou Ye to divide his troops, then Hou Ye can divide his troops, he can attack if he wants to attack, we will stick to it." Wei Yi smiled mysteriously.

"The military advisor is saying, use strength to temper us with an all-out war?" Zhao Jun's eyes lit up.

Wei Yi nodded with a smile and said: "Only friends who can share hardships are true friends, this principle also applies to military politics, although Hou Ye has carefully governed Linzi in recent years, but he lacks the opportunity of Phoenix Nirvana, it just so happens that Ge Ying is Hou Ye's sword test stone, and it is extremely necessary to conduct such a comprehensive operation."

After hearing this, Tang Li said worriedly: "However, if we divide our troops, then in the face of Ge Ying's frontal attack, we will be in danger, and we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties." ”

"Soldiers, even murderous things, and mercy cannot lead soldiers, and casualties on the march and battle are inevitable." Wei Yu shook his head, and finally said firmly: "If my guess is right, Chen Sheng will make a big move later, and the time to allow Ge Ying will not be too much, as long as we can hold on, within a month, Ge Ying will definitely withdraw his troops, and then it will be an opportunity for us to counterattack, and from the perspective of the imperial court, Hou Ye needs this battle more to delay time, and the second emperor will not be in a hurry to move Hou Ye's military power." ”

After listening to Wei Yi's words, Tang Li was thoughtful.

"Only a soldier who has been tested by blood and fire is a true soldier." A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Jun's eyes, and finally said to Tang Li: "Tang Li, pass the order, let the 1,500 people of the iron chariot soldiers, as well as the 5,000 city defense soldiers of the Xincheng Army and the 3,000 dead soldiers battalion all disperse to the counties, led by Dong Peng, Hu Hai and Bolang, and strictly guard the three counties respectively.

If the enemy dares to waste food separately, immediately go out of the city to attack one of them, and let Zhou Chang send a sentry cavalry battalion out of the city to contact the three cities, so as to grasp the enemy's movements in time and reinforce each other. Also, in the next few days, you also have to step up to prepare more materials to defend the city, and we may have a fierce battle. ”

After Tang Li heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Master Hou." ”

Nearly 10,000 men and horses were sent out to garrison the three counties, and together with the original men and horses in each county, it is believed that it will be enough to contain the invading enemy army

Outside Linzi City, in the handsome tent of Zhang Chujun's camp, Ge Ying was kneeling in front of the military tent to give instructions on military affairs, at this time Zhou Shi opened the tent curtain, walked in and said with a smile: "General Ge, I have to admire you now, the Zhao army really divided the troops, and directly withdrew nearly 10,000 people, and now the soldiers in the city have thrown away the temporarily recruited people, and the 30,000 who can really sit on it are less than 30,000, and we can storm it." ”

"Well, you can't be careless, they are well prepared, Linzi is a big city, and it is estimated that we will not suffer fewer casualties." Ge Ying nodded, he was not surprised, it can be said that this strategy he came up with is an upright plan, as long as Zhao Junjian does not go sideways, he will definitely divide the troops, but the real point is to capture Linzi.

Zhou Shi also nodded, five are to surround it, ten to attack it, this is said in the art of war, which means that if you want to easily capture the city, you must have ten times the number of soldiers and horses, and they can now use it to attack the city is only 65,000 people, less than five times, but it is difficult to capture Linzi

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Chujun's assault on Linzi finally began.

With the continuous sound of horns, a team of Zhang Chu's heavy soldiers swarmed out of the camp, entered the wilderness outside the east gate of Linzi City and set up a formation, and then a group of light soldiers and dead soldiers slowly went out of the gate under the cover of shield hands, pushing five ladders and a siege vehicle, followed by groups of light soldiers and archers.

In the end, thousands of ironclad guards, surrounded by Ge Ying's chariot appeared, under the military flag sanitation, Da Xu's traction, and finally slowly drove to the high slope behind the military array, Ge Ying stood proudly on the chariot, like a tall ancient tree, majestic, and his eyes looked at the outline of Linzi very powerfully.

After a while, Ge Ying choked, pulled out his long sword, raised it high, and the sound of the horn stopped abruptly, only to hear Ge Ying shout in a deep voice: "Today's siege has no retreat, greedy for life and afraid of the dead, and those who kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions will be rewarded!" ”

"Roar! Roar! Roar"

Tens of thousands of Zhang Chu soldiers roared in unison, or struck the shield with swords, or slammed a spear to the ground, echoing with an extremely rhythmic sound, sweeping away the previous decadent momentum.

At this time, Ge Ying's long sword waved the long sword again, and suddenly the soldier's roar stopped, and at the same time, Ge Ying pressed down the long sword, pointed directly at Linzi, and said lightly: "Attack!" ”

In an instant, the fierce war drums sounded from the back of Zhang Chujun's formation, and the drums were exciting and exciting, and the momentum was enough to pierce the golden cracked stone, which made people's blood boil.

After a while, the shield armor soldiers in the front row gathered their formation, and made way for a straight passage from it, and the archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately passed through the passage of the central army with their bows and arrows, and came to the front of the formation under the cover of the shield soldiers.

With the cold cheer of the leader, all the archers retreated with their hind legs, and at the same time raised their longbows high, buckled their sharp arrows, and drew their bows to the full moon, and the cold arrows were already aimed at the outline of the city in front.

"Shoot!" The leader shouted again, and the three fingers of the bolt were instantly released, and the sharp arrow whistled, turned into lightning, and shot straight ahead.

At the same time, nearly 10,000 archers released their bowstrings at the same time, and in an instant, 10,000 long arrows swept into the air, swept straight into the sky in a buzzing scream, drew a beautiful parabola, and finally evolved into a dense rain of arrows, shooting down towards the middle of Linzi City.

On the city wall, Tang Li and the others had already retreated to the back under the cover of the shield hand, and the soldiers guarding the front line were more clever and hid under the shield or wall battlements in advance.

However, there are some stunned young people who don't know how to dodge, seeing that they are fighting so high, and they are far away, they don't take the archers under the city seriously at all, and even proudly raise their middle fingers at the archers under the city, and the winner strips off his buttocks, and constantly shakes Zhang Chujun, who was defeated by Zhao Jun in the city, and is extremely insulting.
