The next day, Liu Bei left 5,000 people in Zhoucang to occupy Dangtu, reserving a back road for the army, and after that, all the remaining troops marched to Yinling under the leadership of the generals.

Yinling, which used to be the seat of Jiujiang County before Yuan Shu, is a large county. The population of the city is not less than 100,000, the city is tall, the city walls are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, this city has a disadvantage that is very beneficial to the Xuzhou army, there is no moat!

There are 6,000 troops stationed in the city, and the population in the city is large, and there are no less than 20,000 people who can be deployed in an emergency.

In order to establish power, the so-called lion fighting rabbit also uses all its strength, and the Xuzhou army will naturally send all the main forces up, in order to capture this fortified city as soon as possible and show the world Xuzhou's siege ability.

Early in the morning of August 10, the army gathered under the city of Yinling. When more than 90,000 troops gathered together, it was bound to be black, but except for the slight sound of the wind and the sound of the banner being blown by the wind, no one spoke. This kind of slaughtering momentum will probably put a lot of pressure on the defenders in the city, right?

Liu Bei led the generals and Wenchen to stand on the high platform erected by the Chinese army, quietly observing the city.

The city is five zhang high, twenty-four miles around, and every one mile on the city wall, there is an arrow tower or a city gate tower and the like, so it can be said that the fortifications are very strong!

Cao Yong, Li Tao, and Yang Lin were also there, they were sent by Liu Bei to Huainan to wreak havoc, and they just came back last night.

Cao Yong looked at the city and said in a low voice: "Lord, the guard general is Chen Ji, who is a general under Yuan Shu, and he is quite talented. There are sixteen arrow towers on the city wall, four corner towers, and four gate towers. There are three strong crossbows in the arrow tower, with a range of no less than 400 steps, and there are more than 20 archers. There are ten strong crossbows in the city tower, and there are hundreds of archers. The inside of the corner tower is similar to the city gate tower. In addition, flying hooks, rolling logs, thunder stones, etc., are well prepared......"

After a slight pause, he said: "This battle is not easy to fight!" ”

Many people in the dark night are in Huainan, only because Yuan Shu is the biggest enemy of Xuzhou in the recent stage, and many of them have joined Yuan Shu's army, so Cao Yong can have a better understanding of the situation in the city.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "No matter what, this city must be taken within three days!" As he spoke, he looked at the generals and said, "Which of you will take the lead?" ”

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Liyi, Chen Dao, Guan Yu and other generals were busy shouting and shouting to win the first battle, and Pang De, Wei Yan, Hao Zhao, Shi Hua, Shi Lu, Yin Li, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing and other generals were not far behind.

Liu Bei smiled slightly, morale is available!

He said, "Yide takes the lead, how?" ”

Guan Yu exploded when he heard it, and he yelled with a hideous face: "Big brother, no! The third brother has always been by your side, and there have always been battles, but I have always been stationed in Longkang, and there is no battle at all, so you can't be partial! ”

Guan Yu said that this was the case, and the generals immediately stopped earning it with him.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Yide, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head, looked at Guan Yu, who had a copper bell in his eyes and a beard, and said regretfully: "Big brother...... Since the second brother has said it, what about it...... Then let the second brother get on! ”

Guan Yu laughed excitedly, punched Zhang Fei violently, and said, "I know that the third brother is my good third brother!" Haha, third brother, when this is overcome, I invite you to have a drink! As he spoke, he looked at Tian Fan and said, "Boguang, you have to help well, this battle is successful, and I will also invite you to drink!" ”

Zhang Fei rubbed his shoulders, helplessly, and nodded reluctantly.

Tian Fan smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, Yun Chang, I'll take care of it!" ”

Guan Yu hugged his fists to everyone and said, "Big brother, everyone, in today's battle, I'm welcome!" ”

With that, he jerked around and walked down the platform. …,
