One day after arriving in Xiafen City, the 5,000 troops under Yang Guo and the 10,000 troops under Yang Jun had made various preparations before the war, and the grain and grass in the rear were being continuously transported into the camp.

In order to coordinate the battle, Yang sent henchmen into Yang Jun's camp to discuss with Yang Jun the date of the attack on the city and the specific attack strategy.

After some careful deliberation, it was finally decided to launch an attack on Xiafen City two days later, in which Yang Jun was responsible for attacking the west gate, Yang Guo was responsible for attacking the north gate, and the south gate and the east gate were undefended, so as to leave two ways for the Imperial Forest Army in the city to escape, thus breaking the Royal Forest Army's will to fight.

In the past two days, the rebel army outside the city is making the final siege preparations, and all kinds of large-scale siege equipment have been built little by little, which has brought great pressure to the royal forest army in the city, and deserters have begun to appear in the direction of the south gate and the east gate.

For this reason, Yang Songnu adopted the strategy of killing and making an example, and all the deserters of the Royal Forest Army who were caught were executed, and the corpses were hung near the city gate to warn the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who wanted to escape.

This strategy of killing one by one and making an example of a hundred has indeed achieved very good results, in the direction of the south gate and the east gate, there are fewer and fewer soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who have fled, and the situation in Xiazhi City is quite stable.

Two days later, in the morning, the 10,000 army under Yang Jun and the 5,000 army under Yang Guo began to assemble and quickly pressed in the direction of Xiacheng.

Because the location of the two armies camped was very close to Xiaban City, they soon arrived at the place of a stone's throw under the city and prepared for the siege of the city.

The rebel armies outside the city were surging, and the Imperial Forest Army in charge of defending the city felt tremendous pressure. And immediately prepared for the defense.

Yang Songnu, who was discussing how to retreat from the enemy in the Qiuchi Mansion, was taken aback when he learned that the two armies outside the city were attacking the city at the same time, and immediately led King Liang Shiwang and a group of personal soldiers to the direction of the north gate, and he wanted to personally command the defense of the north gate to ensure that the north gate was foolproof.

In the direction of the north gate, Yang Guo was responsible for commanding the rear position, while Yang An was responsible for personally leading the army to attack the city wall.

"Father, the three armies are ready. It's time to siege the city. Yang An looked at his father. Shouting out to the war.

Yang Guo looked up at the time, nodded, and ordered: "Immediately attack the city and plant the banner of our army on the wall of Xiafen City." ”

"Yes. Father. Yang An responded. Turning back and ordering: "Drumming." Besiege. ”

The dozens of big drums of the Chinese army of "Dong Dong Dong ......" at the same time emitted an exciting sound of war drums.

"Soldiers, kill ......" Yang An shouted. He personally led thousands of troops, carried a large number of siege equipment, and launched an attack on the north gate wall of Xiafen City.

"Rush, kill!" The soldiers who followed Yang An all rushed towards the north gate city wall with a shout.

Seeing that Yang An led a large army to attack the city, the lord of the Royal Forest Army who was defending the city, immediately ordered: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, block the rebels, you must block the rebels." ”

"Whoosh...... Under the command of the commander of the Royal Forest Army, countless arrows were fired at the rebel army outside the city.

Yang An held his shield high in his left hand to block the arrows shot from the city wall, and in his right hand, he held his sword high and swung it vigorously to encourage the soldiers behind him to rush forward and kill.

......After reaching the bottom of the city wall, the besieging soldiers set up the ladder on the wall of the lower city, and the soldiers climbed up the ladder.

Seeing that the enemy army was approaching, the lord of the royal forest camp defending the city hurriedly ordered the soldiers to release the rolling wood and stones in order to inflict relatively large losses on the enemy troops besieging the city.

The fighting between the enemy and the enemy was very fierce, and there were corpses of fallen soldiers everywhere in the city, some were cut down, some were shot, and some were stoned to death by rolling wood and stones on the city.

At the most intense moment of the battle, Yang Songnu arrived at the north gate city wall with King Liang Shiwang and a group of personal soldiers.

Standing on the gate tower of the north gate, Yang Songnu witnessed the fierceness of the fight between the enemy and us, and couldn't help but panic a little, but giving up means death, therefore, Yang Songnu must fight to the end with the rebellious army besieging the city.

Due to the extremely fierce fighting, Yang Songnu let all the personal soldiers he brought join the battle to strengthen the strength of the city.

King Liang Shiwang was alone by Yang Songnu's side, seeing that the Yang army outside the city was attacking extremely fiercely, he was also very anxious, he and Yang Songnu were now grasshoppers on a rope, either prosperous and rich together, or facing the fate of being slaughtered together, common interests, so that they must rely on each other and keep each other warm.

"The lord is here, the lord has personally commanded, the soldiers, kill the rebels." King Liang shouted loudly, wanting to use this to encourage the soldiers defending the city and work hard to defend the city.

"Hold the city and repel the rebels." Yang Songnu also roared loudly.

The encouragement will definitely have an effect, and under the encouragement of King Liang Shiwang and Yang Songnu, the morale of the Imperial Forest Army defending the city has risen a lot, and they have gradually grasped the advantage.

The army of Yang Guosuo, who was besieging the city, gradually exhausted his body and began to be at a disadvantage due to the continuous feints on the city wall.

Yang Guo, who was standing in the distance and watching the battle, saw that he had not been able to capture the city wall for an hour, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the strength of the Imperial Forest Army. ”

"The general has an order, Mingjin withdraws the troops." The herald immediately conveyed the order to withdraw the troops.

The soldier in charge of Mingjin ...... vigorously struck the gong to convey the order to retreat.

Yang An, who was fighting bloodily in front, heard the sound of Mingjin behind him, and was slightly surprised in his heart, and then shouted loudly: "Retreat, soldiers, retreat." ”

Hearing the order, the soldiers slowly retreated like a tide and gathered to the rear.

"Cousin, the rebels have retreated, and the rebels have been repelled by us." Seeing that Yang An was leading the army to retreat, King Liang said loudly.

Yang Songnu naturally saw that Yang An led the army to retreat, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "The first round of attack of the rebels was finally repelled by our army, however, Yang Guo will not give up, or it won't be long before the rebels will continue to attack, so that the soldiers can be vigilant, and they must not be careless." ”

"Cousin, don't worry, King Shi will supervise them." Liang Shiwang replied with a fist.

Yang Songnu nodded, turned around and went to rest in the city gate tower.

Outside the north gate wall, Yang An led the siege army, retreated to the original starting point, and immediately went to meet Yang Guo.

"Father, the soldiers of our army are fighting fiercely, why do you have to order Mingjin to withdraw the troops." Yang An asked puzzled.

Yang Guo looked at Yang An, and said: "It's been more than an hour since the attack, the soldiers are tired, and if we continue to fight, it won't do our army any good, so let's go back and rest, anyway, the city will be ours sooner or later, what are you anxious about." ”

In fact, Yang Guo's order to withdraw the troops was not to care about the soldiers' bodies, but to reduce casualties and preserve strength.

After all, at this time, the troops attacking Xiafen City, in addition to the 5,000 troops under his command, there are also 10,000 horses under Yang Jun's command, if his troops fight to the death and fight to the death with the Imperial Forest Army of Xiafen City, the casualties will not be small, so that even if he captures Xiafen City, the men and horses under his command will become extremely weak, and the relative Yang Jun's men and horses will become a unique and powerful force in Qiu Chi's country, this situation will be extremely unfavorable to his rule, for this reason, he has to preserve his strength, As a result, the soldiers and horses under Yang Jun's command suffered greater losses.

Actually, Yang Guo was a little too naïve to think about it, since he could think of preserving his strength, then, couldn't Yang Jun think of this layer? Besides, he and Yang Songnu have a grudge against his father, so he can attack the city slowly without hurrying, so Yang Jun will not be in a hurry to capture Xiafen City.

"Father, the child just saw Yang Songnu under the city, this dog thief actually dared to personally command the defense of the city, if you give me some more time, the child will definitely be able to kill Yang Songnu, the dog thief." Yang An said hatefully.

Seeing that his son was eager for revenge, Yang Guo patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "The revenge of killing your father is not the same as the sky, and the heart of revenge for your father is no less than yours, but you can't be in a hurry in everything, do you understand?" After speaking, he frowned and looked at his son.

Yang An hugged his fists and said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, not to mention a few days of hard work, the child understands." ”

Yang Guo nodded and ordered: "The army retreats to the camp and continues the attack early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, father." Yang An responded, turned around and ordered: "Soldiers, go back to the camp." ”

Under the orders of Yang Guo, thousands of rebel armies left one after another and marched towards the camp ten miles away.

Seeing that the thousands of troops of the Yang State paused for a moment, they retreated to the rear camp, and the lord of the Royal Forest Military Camp, who was responsible for guarding the city, hurriedly reported the situation to Yang Songnu in the city gate tower.

Yang Songnu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Cousin, what are you laughing at?" King Liang asked puzzled.

Yang Songnu looked at King Liang Shi and asked softly, "Yang Guo has retreated, do you know the reason for this?" ”

"King Shi is dull, please show your cousin." Liang Shiwang said he didn't understand.

Yang Songnu shook his head and said: "If expected, Yang Guo and Yang Jun are suspicious of each other, they both want each other to have a duel with our army, and save their own strength, so Yang Guo withdraws his army." ”

When Liang Shiwang heard this, he suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization, paused, and said with a smile: "In this way, Yang Jun in the direction of the West Gate will not attack the city with all his might." ”

"Yang Jun, this old fox is cunning? Naturally, he would not attack the city with all his might, but he didn't expect that Yang Guo was not carried away by revenge, and he was even unwilling to attack the city with all his strength, so that Xiacheng could hold out for a longer time to wait for reinforcements to rescue. Yang Songnu said happily.

"Cousin, this is really immortal! Ha ha! Liang Shiwang said happily.

Yang Songnu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and nodded. (To be continued......)
