Xinhe is a county seat, and the area is not very broad, so the distance between the inner city and the outer city is only less than fifty steps, this distance, just like Yuan Shao's prediction, the red-clothed ballista and the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers just can't exert their power, if you want to capture the inner city and defeat Yuan Shao, there is only one way in front of Ao Lie, that is, to attack.

I have to say that when Yuan Shao was mediocre, he was indeed mediocre to the extreme, but once Shengming got up, he still had a bit of the capital of the hero, and this time his judgment of the battlefield situation was very accurate, effectively clamping down on the two major killing weapons of the Yan army.

After seizing the outer city, Ao Lie ordered the sergeants to sort out the ordnance materials on the city, and took advantage of this gap to temporarily hold a brief meeting with Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others to discuss the next strategy. After the last day, after everyone's discussion, everyone reluctantly found that if they wanted to conquer Xinhe and defeat Yuan Shao in the shortest possible time, they could only take the means of strong attack.

In the absence of other good strategies, Ao Lie finally decided to take advantage of the battle and launch a battle that was very rare in his military career. The last battle of the fortified battle can be traced back to a few years ago, when Yuyang Zhang Ju rebelled, since then, the army under Ao Lie has never experienced a large-scale siege battle, Zhao Yun took Hejian City and other battles, which can only be regarded as a medium-sized scale, and the current situation cannot be compared at all.

After making up his mind, Ao Lie was just about to open his mouth, but Gan Ning suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "King Yan, as the so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, our Qilin Army soldiers have a rich salary, but they have never made a great achievement to match it. I was deeply ashamed. Today, a certain soldier of the Qilin Army petitioned, willing to be the pioneer of the siege, please Yan Wang En's permission! ”

Ao Lie was deeply embarrassed and said: "Xingba, it's not that a certain person prevented the Qilin Army from making meritorious contributions, but that there has been no need to use the Qilin Army, the battle in the future is still long, and sooner or later it will be fought with the water army, and a certain person has already told you, thousands of miles north of Gwangju in the sea area." There is an island nation. Your mission is to conquer there, not to step off your ships and become the vanguard of the siege. ”

Gan Ning heard it, Ao Lie didn't want the Qilin Army to be the vanguard. As the governor of the navy, he is in charge of 60,000 sailors. but he has nothing to do all day long. In the past, he was able to go to sea to clear out some nearby pirates. But when all those pirates were wiped out, Gan Ning and the 60,000 sailors could only put all their sweat and energy into it. When it was used on the training ground, they had long been holding back their strength and wanted to kill the Quartet, especially the 20,000 Qilin Army, as one of the four elite troops under Ao Lie's command, watching the other three land elite generals capture the flag, attack the city, and make one contribution after another, how could they feel good in their hearts?

Striding out more than a dozen steps, Gan Ning came to the vicinity of the Qilin Army, raised the Optimus Halberd and shouted vigorously: "The Qilin belongs, please fight!" The 20,000 Qilin Army immediately responded loudly: "The courage of the Qilin, I am invincible!" The Kirin Army asks for a siege! Please Yan Wang's permission! The 20,000 Qilin Army shouted three times in a row to ask for battle, each more passionate than the other, and the other was full of the desire to fight!

Striding back to Ao Lie's side, Gan Ning pointed to the Qilin Army soldiers behind him, and said to Ao Lie: "King Yan, you have seen it, the soldiers have long been impatient, so please ask King Yan to let us attack the city." ”

Ao Lie knew that the army's spirit could be raised but not frustrated, and if the Qilin Army's desire to fight was repeatedly suppressed, it would dampen their confidence and courage. Out of trust in Gan Ning, confidence in his own way of governing the army with one specialization and multiple abilities, and recognition of the 20,000 Qilin Army soldiers, Ao Lie finally nodded and agreed: "In this case, Gan Ning obeys the order!" Take your troops and be the siege vanguard! Hearing that Ao Lie agreed to his request, Gan Ning was overjoyed, turned around and ran in front of the Qilin Army, and shouted excitedly: "The Qilin belongs, fight bravely!" Siege with a certain city! ”

With high morale, the 20,000 Qilin troops raised their swords and shouted in unison: "The courage of the Qilin, I am invincible!" Besiege! Siege ——!! ”

After Gan Ning set off from the outer city with the elite of the Qilin Army, Ao Lie beckoned Ma Chao, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao, and commanded in a low voice: "Wen Yuan led 30,000 infantry troops to attack the city with the Qilin Army; Ziyi led 10,000 archers and 10,000 crossbowmen to suppress Yuan's army on the periphery; Meng Qi led 10,000 Tiger Lux to press the formation in the rear, and if the Qilin Army did not progress well, replace them immediately! "The Qilin Army is a naval army carefully organized by Ao Lie, and in the future, it will pacify Jingxiang and other places internally, and conquer Fusang and other countries externally, all relying on this naval army, Ao Lie doesn't want them to have too many casualties.

Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and Tai Shici each agreed, turned around and went to rectify the troops. As soon as the two left, Zhou Tai, who was known as a desperate San Lang, came over and said loudly: "King Yan is unfair! Why don't you use us Jiangdong children? ”

But isn't it, in Ao Lie's arrangement, not a single Jiangdong soldier was sent to Lu, and Ao Lie had his own ideas about such an arrangement. In any case, the Jiangdong Army is a guest after all, and it has already done its best to help the war thousands of miles away, and if the Jiangdong Army is sent to fight a tough battle, it will be a bit too much.

Zhou Yu also came to Ao Lie's side, and arched his hand and said, "Is King Yan worried that if the children of Jiangdong are killed or injured, he will not be able to explain to my lord?" If so, King Yan doesn't have to care, before he led the army to come, my lord had already ordered, King Yan is the benefactor of all the children of Jiangdong, if there is no help from King Yan, there will be no Jiangdong today! Therefore, the children of Jiangdong who came this time, their lives are all the lives of King Yan, and they are sent by King Yan! ”

Ao Lie sighed, patted Zhou Yu's shoulder, and said softly: "Gong Jin, the lives of Jiangdong's children are not so-and-so, nor Bofu's, but their own. A certain has always believed that in this world, no one's life is more valuable than others, and at the moment of life and death, everyone's life is equally precious. The children of Jiangdong are good at water warfare but not good at attacking fortifications, if they insist on letting the children of Jiangdong attack the city, isn't it because of their own shortcomings and the length of attacking the enemy? Youping, are you right? Speaking of the most embarrassing, Ao Lie also specially asked Zhou Tai.

Ao Lie's words made Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai quiet down at the same time, what is benevolence? This is benevolence! Benevolence is not just a matter of words, only in concrete actions, in major decisions, and the lives of ordinary sergeants are on the mind, can it be called true benevolence!

Zhou Yu said to Ao Lie: "King Yan is as open-minded as the sea, Zhou Yu admires!" On behalf of the children of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu pays tribute to King Yan! King Yan will have a life in the future, and Zhou Yu will never give up! ”

patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder again, Ao Lie turned his head and called Zhang Xiu and the veteran Huang Zhong, and ordered: "Youwei, you lead 10,000 infantry troops to set off immediately, bring crossbows and javelins, along the walls of the outer city, and fiercely suppress the Yuan army in the inner city!" General Hansheng, please lead 10,000 cavalry to join Meng Qi, once Xingba breaks through the city gate, you will lead the army into the city. ”

The two agreed, turned around and were about to leave, Zhou Tai suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them, looked at Ao Lie with a pleading face, and said: "King Yan, you don't need the Jiangdong Army, you are willing to be a pawn and go to war with General Huang, this is always okay, right?" Ao Lie smiled and said: "I often hear people say that Zhou Youping is a desperate San Lang, and he will be uncomfortable if he doesn't fight for a day. Let's ask Youping to serve as the deputy general of the old general Hansheng. ”

Knock - Knock Knock - Knock Knock -

With the unique rhythmic drum sound of the general's order, it sounded again, Gan Ning looked at the inner city wall fifty steps away with fierce eyebrows, took a deep breath, and then raised the Optimus Twin Halberds and took the lead in rushing out of the city, followed by 20,000 elite Qilin Army with horse swords. In terms of momentum alone, no one can see that this division of a hundred battles is actually a naval army, and the momentum and combat quality displayed by the Qilin Army at this moment are simply more infantry than the infantry army.

After the Qilin Army, Tai Shi Ci commanded 10,000 crossbowmen to bend their bows and arrows and shoot at the head of the inner city to suppress the Yuan army and create fighters for Gan Ning and them; At the same time, Zhang Liao personally led 20,000 infantry troops, followed by the Qilin army, and attacked the city with him.

On the outer city, Zhang Xiu took 10,000 crossbowmen to surround the inner city like a marquee, and cooperated with the crossbowmen troops commanded by Tai Shici, completely suppressed the Yuan army in the inner city and couldn't raise their heads, and the rain of arrows in the sky was accompanied by the sound of the vibration of the bowstring, and it fell densely on the inner city without a moment's pause.

Because they were suppressed, many Yuan troops in the inner city did not obstruct Gan Ning's troops at the first time, allowing Gan Ning to easily break through to the walls of the inner city. Immediately, the 20,000 infantry troops led by Zhang Liao followed, and the ladders used for siege were erected on the low walls of the inner city one by one. Gan Ning and Zhang Liao went smoothly, not only did other comrades suppress the Yuan army, but the low and narrow city walls of the inner city also helped a lot, because the narrowness of the inner city wall could not accommodate more than 200,000 Yuan troops at the same time, and at most 30,000 Yuan troops could only stand on it at the same time to fight, it can be said that the inner city wall was like a double-sided safe, which helped Yuan Shao limit the two major killing weapons of the Yan army, and also greatly restrained the Yuan army's own military input.

"Shoulder the saber and attack the city!" Gan Ning waved and shouted to the elites of the Qilin Army, and then took the lead in carrying the Optimus Twin Halberds to his back and climbed up the ladder with his bare hands. Under Gan Ning's shout, the 20,000 Qilin army at the same time put the horse chopping knife on their backs, and then struggled to climb along the ladder to the head of the city, in the process of climbing, their right hand always kept in the direction of the city, and their eyes were always watching the walls of the inner city, as long as there was an outcrop of Yuan Jun, these Qilin elites would pull the trigger on their arms and launch the crossbow arrows of the Xizi Repeater!

This is a special way of fighting belonging to the Kirin Army, floating on the water for a long time, making their balance ability of the body and the touch of the surrounding things become extremely acute, in the process of climbing the ladder, they can completely be distracted, while climbing, they are also searching for prey! At this moment, the Qilin Army is comparable to the naval battle team of later generations, amphibious and omnipobious! (To be continued......)
