The people at the head of the city did not expect such a thing to happen. After only two rounds of arrows, he repelled the attack of thousands of Wang Yuan's soldiers?

"This, this is retreating?" Not long ago, these thousands of Wang Yuan's soldiers who were going to come in to grab grain were still under pressure, but in a blink of an eye, they fled. This victory came too suddenly, not only Wen Taishou, but also Zhi Yuelan and others couldn't believe it.

Wang Yuan is worthy of the famous runaway generals who have left a name in history. Unlike some armies, which almost never take the initiative to attack and regain lost territory externally, they attack in an all-round way and focus on attacking internally, and there are endless tricks.

Because he didn't expect Wang Yuan's troops to rout so quickly, the city was not prepared to pursue.

An hour later, Wang Yuan sent more than a dozen squads, pulled out dozens of the first to escape from the soldiers of Wang Yuan's troops who fled, escorted them to the front of the formation, and then reorganized the formation and started the second attack.

At the end of the day, Wang Yuan's soldiers began the second siege.

Zheyuelan sent people to burn the ladder and pontoon bridge they left under the city, so they attacked the city this time and did the same last time, still holding the pontoon bridge in front and carrying the ladder in the back.

The difference is that the last time they attacked the city, they were divided into eight phalanxes, this time there were only five. Probably because the time was too tight to make more pontoons and ladders.

Another difference is that they began to disperse the formation. After crossing the moat, without waiting for the commander's order, the soldiers of Wang Yuan's five phalanxes took the initiative to disperse the formation.

In this way, the threat of the guard's arrows is greatly reduced. The crossbowmen in the county soldiers fired three rounds of rapid fire, and only forty or fifty enemies were shot, which was not as great as the results of the last two rounds of rapid fire.

The soldiers of Wang Yuan's army, who attacked the city, braved the arrows and set up a ladder. The five ladders are separated by 100 steps from each other.

"The crossbowmen are back, and the spearmen are forward." The crossbowmen at the head of the city retreated, and the spearmen stepped forward in a group.

The ladders made by Wang Yuan's soldiers were very rough, and it could be seen from the part that exposed the head of the city that they had not even peeled off the bark from the trunks.

Zheyuelan also drew a knife in her hand, came to the front of the city, and looked down. More than 2,000 Wang Yuan's soldiers were scattered outside the city wall. Under each ladder, there are more than two dozen people to support them, and shield bearers are guarding outside. Dozens of brave pioneers have begun to climb up the ladder.

Zhi Yuelan was closely observing the soldiers of Wang Yuan's tribe who were climbing the cloud ladder, when she raised the spear in her hand and ordered: "Spearman, prepare!" ”

The standard-bearer waved the military flag and played the flag; Heralds galloped along the battlements, delivering orders.

Each ladder has five spearmen in front, two in front and three in the back. After receiving the order, Qi Qi raised his spear flat and aimed it at the ladder. Between every two cloud ladders, Zheyue Lan arranged another team of sword and axe men to prevent the brave Wang Yuan's soldiers from breaking through the encirclement of the spearmen. The axemen were also ready.

On the cloud ladder on the left, the head of a soldier of Wang Yuan's tribe showed the battlements, and just after revealing his helmet, before he could see his face, the guard guarding in front of this cloud ladder shouted, stabbed his spear down, and hit him in the shoulder. This soldier of Wang Yuan's tribe lost his balance and fell down the ladder screaming in pain.

More than a hundred steps away, on the second cloud ladder on the right, the head of the second Wang Yuanbu soldier was exposed.

The screams of the Wang Yuan soldier who had fallen down the ladder earlier alarmed the guards guarding in front of the ladder, and three of the five spearmen turned their heads to look, but before their faces could be twisted back, the Wang Yuan soldier jumped onto the city. One inch long, one inch strong, the spear is suitable for long-distance combat, once this knife-carrying Wang Yuanbu soldier is close, these spearmen will be in danger.

The five spearmen hurriedly stabbed out their spears in unison, trying to force this Wang Yuan's soldier down. The enemy's movements were as nimble as a swimming fish, and he dodged several spears indiscriminately, and slashed at one of the spearmen. The remaining four spearmen panicked and hurried to retreat.

At this moment, a snap was heard, the bowstring sounded, and an arrow hit this soldier and the soldier fell down the wall. Zheyuelan turned her head and saw that it was Xuanzan who shot the arrow.

One after another, one after another, more and more Wang Yuan's soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

"Boom, boom, boom", one after another muffled sounds came from under the city, and more than 100 Wang Yuan's soldiers carrying tree trunks arrived outside the city gate and were hitting the city gate.

Xuanzan raised his long knife, took a commander to choose the front, waited in the city gate, suddenly opened the gate, Xuanzan took the lead, killed the enemy troops who hit the door, and then destroyed the ladders.

Wang Yuan's second attack only lasted less than half an hour before ending in failure.

Night is falling, and the land is enveloped. Wang Yuan's soldiers did not attack again, but from nightfall, every half hour, they would send hundreds of people to beat gongs and drums outside the moat, shouting and shouting.

This is clearly a tired tactic. Among the many strategies for using soldiers, the strategy of exhausting soldiers can be described as a yang strategy. You know that the enemy wants to wear you out, but you can't ignore it. If you ignore him, what if the enemy turns into reality and really attacks?

Zheyuelan asked the guards in the city to be on duty in waves, and tonight they could not go down to the city, and they stayed in the city. And Zhe Yuelan went straight to the state government to see Zhang Chan.

Zhang Chan politely invited Zhiyuelan to sit down, Zhang Chan was a small family of jasper before marrying Hu Yangeng, and she had no ability to lead the army at all, so she was very grateful that Zhiyuelan was in charge of the city.

Zhe Yuelan briefly told Zhang Chan that the enemy's combat strength was not strong, and the state city was very safe.

"Sister Zhe bothered. Please hurry back and rest, tomorrow I have to bother to break my sister to defend the city. ”

After Zheyuelan left, Wang Yanshu turned out from behind the wall. Zhang Chan is still a little timid now, so she asked Wang Yanshu to eavesdrop behind her, and if there is anything inappropriate, she can remind herself.

Wang Yanshu said: "This three ladies are the good help of the master. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chan's face was sunny and white.

Wang Yanshu observed Zhang Chan for a while, and then said, "Master, you have to take care of this person for the master." ”

"How do you get around?"

"No matter how much you get together, it's better to become a family."

"Alas. Zhang Chan sighed.

"The master mother is worried, the master wants to marry the younger, you can't stop it, why don't you just be generous and take advantage of a virtuous word. Besides, if the third lady comes in with the main mother, it will be good for you to be petted. ”

"Now the siege is over, let's talk about it when the siege is lifted."

The next day, when the genius was bright, the enemy troops outside the city gathered and there were bursts of cheers.

Zhi Yuelan had already rushed to the head of the city, standing side by side with Xuanzan, looking at the enemy troops outside the city, Zhi Yuelan suddenly asked, "Is that Wang Yuan?" He is surrounded by civil officials? ”

"It's the armor of the generals, most likely Wang Yuan himself."

At this time, Wang Yuan took a few civil officials around him to a distance of three hundred steps under the city.

There was a small official next to Zhiyue Lan who shouted: "That's the prince, that's the Duke of Xie, and the Duke of Chen." It is each prefecture. ”

It turned out to be the magistrate of Yanshan, Leling, and Nanpi counties. Wang Yuan said something to these three people, and these three people began to shout to the city, to the effect that Cangzhou was handed over to Wang Yuan to garrison by Zhang Yiqian, the pacification envoy, and asked Qingchi County not to disobey the order of the pacification envoy.

The shouting of these three men caused a wave of panic in the city. After all, Cangzhou was still under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and since the county orders of the other three counties had accepted the orders of the pacification envoys, this order was still reasonable.

Even the proclamation was a little shaken.

Zhi Yuelan's face turned pale: "The armies in the city, reply to my words, who will give you food?" ”

The sergeants of his cronies replied together: "Calling the generals." ”

"Who will wear your clothes?"

"Calling the Lord." Many sergeants have already answered

"Who saved your life?"

"Calling the Lord." The soldiers and the people on this wall shouted in unison

"Who is fighting the gold thief?"

"Calling the Lord." More people joined in the answers

"Who is Cangzhou's true parents?"

"Call the Lord, call the Lord." This series of answers was like a tsunami of the whole city.

Since Hu Yangeng is the true parent official of Cangzhou, does it need to be said whose orders should be listened to?

Zheyuelan pulled out the sword she was carrying: "This is the broken sword of the broken family, if the court is blamed, it deserves this sword." All you have to do is fight to kill the enemy. ”

Zhi Yuelan inserted the sword back into the scabbard, took a bow from the side, pulled the bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow, one of the three civil officials in the middle, Zhi Yuelan shouted and scolded: "You can't defend the land for the country, you can't protect the safety of the people, you can't distinguish between right and wrong, and you can't be mighty and unyielding." What is the use of Stay, etc. ”

The other two county commanders turned around and left. The soldiers in the city cheered when they saw the civilian officials retreating, and their trust in Zhiyue Lan was increased.

In the distance, drums sounded from Wang Yuan's central army, and the enemy soldiers outside the moat began to advance again, and quickened their pace, launching another siege amid the wild shouts of 10,000 people.

Because of Wang Yuan's tired tactics, the guards didn't rest well last night, and as soon as dawn ushered in the enemy's uninterrupted attack for three hours, they were all exhausted. In one morning, the more than 800 armed guards guarding the eastern city wall suffered nearly 100 casualties.

"That's not going to work. There are only so many soldiers in us, and one less one dies. There are many thieves, they are not afraid of casualties, we are afraid. Gotta find a way to turn things around. ”

After repelling an attack by Wang Yuan's soldiers, Zheyuelan gathered the commanders scattered all over the city, or the commanders of the superior brigade, the marquis of Yu.

Xuanzan pressed his knees, half-stood up, and looked down at the city.

At this time, only the ladders and corpses that had been pushed down by the guards were left under the city.

The ladder was made in a hurry, not very strong, and most of them were split in four or five after falling to the ground, and the wood and branches were scattered all over the ground.

Most of the corpses belonged to Wang Yuan's soldiers, and there were also a small number of armed guards. Compared with yesterday, today's Wang Yuan's soldiers are high-spirited, and only what Zhi Yuelan saw with her own eyes was that three armed guards were held by Wang Yuan's soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city and fell down the city.

I think it was the support of civilian officials, which made them a little bolder.

After a day and a half of fierce fighting, the snow outside the city had already been trampled by Wang Yuan's soldiers, and now it was soaked in blood, coupled with corpses and broken and scattered ladders, giving people a huge impact, which made people unconsciously recall the fierce battle just now.
