Standing at the head of Dingxiang City, looking at the Black Mountain Army getting closer and closer, the black pressure is all over the mountains, like an ant colony.

Tian Yu couldn't help frowning and gasped: "Hiss...... It's not over after robbing the county seat, Zhang Yan is preparing to attack the county seat! ”

In addition to the fact that the Montenegrin soldiers are outnumbered, ten times their own, what makes Tian Yu even more troublesome is that it is also mixed with the army that originally belonged to Gongsun Zhan, this is a regular army, and the combat effectiveness is not weak at all, with them cooperating with sixty or seventy thousand Montenegrin thieves to attack the city, how long Dingxiang can hold it, I really dare not say!

"Lord Taishou, the Black Mountain thieves are huge, and Dingxiang City is afraid that it will be difficult to defend, so let's abandon the city and leave, right? Willing to escort the adults to break through! ”

Looking at the overwhelming Black Mountain Army outside the city, Ding Sheng, the general appointed by Tian Yu as a soldier, persuaded Tian Yu to slip away with a worried face.

Tian Yu glanced at Ding Sheng dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "Ding Sheng, if it weren't for your love for following me for many years, believe it or not, I would have cut you down now?" I was entrusted by Yuan Envoy Jun to serve as the Taishou of Dingxiang, how could I flee without a fight? Although there are many black mountain thieves, they are just a rabble, even if there are 100,000, what are they afraid of? I, Tian Yu, swear to live and die with Dingxiang, who dares to escape lightly, will not be forgiven! ”

"No!" Ding Sheng looked ashamed, "Damn it, I'm cowardly, since Taishou is willing to fight to the death, I, Ding Sheng, will accompany you!" ”

Tian Yu nodded: "While the Black Mountain thieves have not yet besieged the city, immediately send someone to send three letters for help!" ”

"I don't know where to go? Please be too clear! Ding Sheng asked.

"One was sent to Jinyang and asked Lord Tian Feng for help. One was sent to Hanoi to Lord Thorn Shi, and the other was sent to Yanmen. Dingxiang is only two hundred miles away from the Yin Pavilion of Yanmen Zhisuo, as long as Hao Bodaoken sends reinforcements, he can arrive at Dingxiang City in about three days! Tian Yu frowned, pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and calmly ordered.

"No! Humble duty to send messengers out of the city! Ding Sheng once again surrendered his order.

After Ding Sheng turned around, Tian Yu put on his helmet and armor, was fully armed, and personally climbed to the head of Dingxiang City, commanding 6,000 soldiers to strictly guard the four city gates. Swear to defend Dingxiang City.

In order to strengthen the defense. And he sent men to gather together the great families of the nobles in the city, and told them that they were reasonable, and moved with affection. If the city is broken. It's not just that they can't keep their possessions. If they can't save their lives, they are encouraged to send their family disciples to climb the city wall. Assist officers and soldiers in defending the city.

Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?

Under the instigation of Tian Yu, it was not long before more than 800 Hakka families were gathered from the major wealthy clans in Dingxiang, and more than 1,500 strong people volunteered to help defend the city, and they carried stones, wood and other defensive items to the head of the city to resist the attack of the Black Mountain bandits.

As soon as Tian Yu sent a messenger for help out of the city, the Montenegrin army besieged the city, blew the horn, and launched a fierce attack on Dingxiang City.

Tian Yu held a bow and arrow, climbed to the head of the city to kill the enemy personally, and shot four or five siege soldiers in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

Siege is a task with great casualties, Gongsun continued to capture Tian Yu alive for revenge, personally led the troops to attack the city, fierce battle for an afternoon, his men and horses in Dingxiang City under the corpse of more than 1,500 corpses, and Dingxiang City is still standing.

Gongsun Fan, who was supervising the battle in the back, saw that Zhang Yan was secretly selfish, and only encouraged Gongsun Xu's men and horses to try their best to attack the city, but the Montenegrin army under him did not exert much strength, just waved the flag and shouted, making a false noise. In one afternoon, more than 1,500 people died on his side, and his Black Mountain Army suffered only 200 casualties.

"Mingjin retreats!" Gongsun Fan couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Although Gongsun Xu was unwilling, he didn't know what was going on, so he could only order the retreat with hatred. Seeing that Gongsun Jun Mingjin collected his troops, Zhang Yan also ordered to blow the trumpet and collect the troops, and 60,000 or 70,000 horses surrounded Dingxiang and set up a camp, which was surrounded by water.

The night was dark, and Gongsun continued to camp. Gongsun's uncle and nephew and confidant Shan Jing are secretly discussing the military.

"Second uncle, why Mingjin? Tonight, if you storm for one night, maybe Dingxiang can be broken, and then you can take the head of Tian Yu, the dog thief, to pay tribute to his father's spirit in the sky! Gongsun continued to return to the tent and questioned Gongsun Fan angrily.

Gongsun Fan looked depressed: "Nephew, you are too loyal, Zhang Yan wants to take Dingxiang City, but also does not want to lose troops, so he is completely using us as a gunman." After a night of onslaught, even if Dingxiang is broken, our soldiers and horses will be completely lost. Without troops, do you and my uncle and nephew still have the value of existence in this world? Any one of the tun chiefs can kill us! ”

Shan Jing also persuaded beside him: "Yes, Young General, you want to kill Tian Yu's idea, General Gongsun and I both understand, but we can't be stupidly used by Zhang Yan." Now that the city is besieged, let's consume it, I don't believe him Zhang Yan saw that the property in the city couldn't fall into his hands, could he sit still? How much food do we eat in a day for five or six thousand people? How much food does his Montenegrin army eat? I think it won't take a few days, he Zhang Yan will attack the city with all his might, and then we can enter the city to capture Tian Yu like the back, and we can minimize the loss! ”

Gongsun continued to hate the punch on the stake, and said unwillingly: "The art of war, ten times more than the enemy, you can attack!" Today, our army and the Montenegrin army are twelve times larger than the defenders, and they are unable to break through Dingxiang, what kind of battle is this? ”

"The Montenegrin army is a rabble, although there are sixty or seventy thousand, if you really want to fight in formation, I am afraid that even 20,000 officers and soldiers will not be able to defeat it. And Zhang Yan is too selfish this time, and she is using us at all. If I knew that Zhang Yan was not a solid siege, I shouldn't have let you be the precursor, and I lost more than 1,500 people in vain! Gongsun Fan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said regretfully.

Gongsun continued to recall, and also felt that Zhang Yan had indeed deliberately conserved his troops this time, and asked suspiciously: "Zhang Yan has a deep friendship with his father, and when he needed his help in the past, he didn't have so many tricks, why did he become so sleek this time?" ”

Shan Jing's eyebrows were almost twisted, and he thought for a moment and said: "I think it should be that after reading Cao Cao's letter, Zhang Yan was ready to surrender to Cao, so he deliberately saved his troops." When the time comes, the more soldiers and horses he has under his command, the greater the official position in exchange. Perhaps, this is the real reason why Zhang Yan secretly conserved his troops! ”

"What General Shan said is extremely true!" Gongsun Fan nodded in agreement with Shan Jing's analysis, "If Zhang Yan descends to Cao, where should we go?" ”

Listening to Gongsun Fan's question, the three of them fell into deep thought and were silent for a long time.

If Zhang Yan really led more than 100,000 Black Mountain troops to Cao, he would definitely be able to pay homage to the generals and get the title of a heavyweight general. And they only have about 5,000 troops left in their hands, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to find a position for a partial general, let alone anything else!

If the Montenegrin army withdraws from Taihang, it will not be possible to rely on their thousands of people to stay, and when the Yuan army enters the mountains to encircle and suppress, it is likely to be a dead end. It's not okay to descend Cao, and it's not okay to stay in Taihang Mountain!

After a long time, Shan Jing sighed and said: "Zhang Yan can't pass through the blockade of Yuan Jun for a while, so we don't have to be in such a hurry." When Zhang Yan leads his troops to Cao, we will go to Hanzhong to join Zhang Lu, he is short of soldiers and major generals, maybe he can reuse us! ”

Gongsun Fan nodded in agreement: "There is only one way!" ”

He also told Gongsun to continue: "Nephew, now that the matter is over, you have to see the situation clearly, we can't squander the only money we have left, and when the time comes, there is no way out, and a tun chief can kill us." As long as we can live and avenge our brother, it won't be a matter of time? ”

Those who know the times are handsome, their future is uncertain, and life and death are unpredictable. The full revenge in Gongsun Xu's heart suddenly came to naught, and he stopped talking.

The next day, Zhang Yan sent people to beat drums and line up, bewitching Gongsun Xu to lead his troops to attack the city, and let his men and horses follow behind to pick up leaks.

Who knew that after knocking for a long time, I saw that Gongsun Xu's men and horses had been shouting in place, firing arrows towards the city, but they were no longer as desperate as yesterday, and they couldn't help but be disappointed. I thought to myself, eighty percent of them have seen through my mind, since you don't attack the city, I won't work hard for you to catch Tian Yu, everyone is consuming!

So, a funny scene appeared. Nearly 70,000 horses under the city of Dingxiang shouted and shouted one by one, but they refused to move closer to the city, roared all day, and in the evening they collected their troops and returned to the camp.

Two days later, when he heard that Dingxiang was in danger, Hao Zhao, the Taishou of Yanmen, left 4,000 people to guard Yanmen, and he selected 3,000 elites to cross the Hutuo River overnight and come to the rescue of Tian Yu.

However, the number of the Montenegrin army was too large, and Hao Zhao only had 3,000 men and horses, and he did not dare to get too close. chose a piece of terrain that could be attacked and retreated, and set up camp, bluffing, and containing the Black Mountain thieves.

Seeing that reinforcements were coming, Zhang Yan divided 10,000 horses and sent his general Sun Qing to meet the enemy and block Hao Zhao's reinforcements. And the order was given, the whole army polished its weapons, and prepared to break through Dingxiang within two days, robbing food, money, and women!

"Okay, Zhang Yan of the dog day finally can't sit still!" Gongsun Fan Xizi scolded secretly, "It's a pity that the reinforcements of the Yuan army have arrived, fortunately, there are not many troops, if you can't take the city for another three or five days, I'm afraid that more reinforcements will come!" ”

The Montenegrin army was well fed and drunk, and with Zhang Yan's order, they attacked the city with all their might.

With the earth-shattering sound of drums and horns, 50,000 Black Mountain troops and 5,000 soldiers of Gongsun Xu launched a fierce attack on the city.

The red blood stained the water of the moat, which was extremely enchanting and shocking, and I couldn't bear to look at it directly! (To be continued......)
