With Zhou Cang's desperate efforts, Guan Yu was able to escape back into the city. Hearing the sound of the city gate slamming shut, Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu was hit by an arrow in the arm, but fortunately, the arrow was not coated with poison, and he only needed to recuperate.

Cao Cao said regretfully: "I didn't expect to dispatch the tiger and leopard to ride, but I still failed to capture Guan Yu!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Guan Yu's arrow must have an impact on the morale of the defenders in the city, and now is the best time to attack the city, our army has 100,000 people, day and night to attack the city, the defenders will definitely be overwhelmed." ”

100,000 troops, besieging the four gates of Pengcheng, but focusing on attacking the east gate, the moat was filled by Cao's army at an alarming speed, attacking Pengcheng again, Cao Cao will definitely have some preparations, especially the sand and other things needed to fill the moat, as early as the army marched on the road to be well prepared, just waiting to launch a fierce offensive, since ancient times, the siege of the city is all about the siege of three missing one, so that the defenders in the city feel that there is hope for survival, so as to give up resistance, Cao Cao is bent on going his own way, surrounding the entire city, without him, want to capture Guan Yusheng alive, The defenders lost a pillar like Guan Yu, and their strength was sharply reduced.

Guan Yu heard that the Cao army was attacking the city, he couldn't sit still in the room, and rushed to the city with his injuries, the Cao army was not afraid of the attack of the dead and wounded, which brought great trouble to the defenders, but there was no danger at present, even if the Cao army was prepared, it would take some time to fill the moat, and the defenders could take advantage of this time to practice archery in an orderly manner and shoot the Cao army outside the city.

The progress of the Cao army made Guan Yu anxious, but the Cao army had 100,000 people, and the entire city was tightly surrounded, and it was also very difficult to send someone to Liu Bei for help.

The war in Xuzhou is in full swing, Jia Rong led the army in Daling is also not idle, day and night non-stop attack Daling, from the start of the war, there have been two months, the loss of soldiers and the loss of grain and grass materials, but not beyond the previous expectations, but the situation in the Central Plains, let Jia Rong see the opportunity to come, will be pacified, and then pacify Youzhou, this idea lingers in the heart, especially in the recent period Yuan Shao in Youzhou border A series of actions, more determined to be more determined, if Youzhou and Liangzhou, Coupled with the three cities on the grassland of millions of people, Jia Rong became the largest prince of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the soldiers, only the vast territory, it is not comparable to the princes of the Central Plains, the era of cold weapons, what is the war fought, that is, people and material resources, no people, how can there be an army, no financial resources, how can the people fight for you, only with verbal righteousness, the conscription will only be a group of soldiers who will flee in embarrassment when they encounter a strong enemy on the battlefield, the people on the grassland, pick up the knife and gun, you can join the army, It is a very haode combat readiness resource.

Xu Rong was sad all night, the siege weapons of the Xiliang army were particularly powerful, and they attacked the city wall again and again, fortunately, the cowhide and other things on the city greatly blocked the offensive of the thunderbolt, which gave the defenders a chance to breathe, even so, the defenders also paid a great price, and the heavy infantry on the well rushed to the city wall again and again, almost seizing control of the city.

In order to cooperate with Jia Rong's will to conquer Youzhou after pacifying and annexing the state, the Xiliang army sent 50,000 troops again and marched in the direction of the annexation.

The cities along the way are also trying their best to cooperate, in the efforts of Zhang Zhao, the counties occupied by the Xiliang army have already begun to govern the place, restore the people's livelihood, the plan of the year lies in the spring, in the conquest of free seeds, provide farming tools under the conditions, the people were greatly mobilized, there is no scene just after the war.

Duan Xuan completely shrank in Jingling, without the slightest intention of going out of the city to face the battle, especially Lu Bu Ma Chao led the cavalry to Jingling City, at this time there were nearly 6,000 cavalry under the city, and his own side was only nearly 2,000 cavalry, how to attack, on the weapon is not as good as the other party, on the ability of the soldiers is not as good as the other party, it is the most basic courage, and the other party is more than a step behind.

Li Ru is sick, lost in a series of battles, Li Ru has spent several years of hard work still has not had the slightest effect, the offensive of the Xiliang army, so that he has a feeling of powerlessness, when the princes attacked Hangu Pass, there was no such feeling, I did not expect that after a few years, the Xiliang army actually had such achievements, such a well and siege ladder, is many princes never dreamed of unimaginable, when they are still worried about the armor on the soldiers, the Xiliang army has begun to use haode iron to build ladders and well ladders and other siege weapons, Is there any suspense in such a battle, Duan Xuan and the Xiliang cavalry duel, it is considered a failure, the Xiliang army has a great cause, even if it is completely wiped out by Duan Xuan's three thousand cavalry with five thousand cavalry, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, on the contrary, the state is barren and barren, in order to cooperate with Li Ru's expansion of the army, the taxes have increased by I don't know how much, the people who are overwhelmed are exiled, and the taxes of the people under the rule of the Xiliang army are probably the lowest.

The successive defeats of the state and the state made the officials panic, and there were not many family officials who secretly contacted the Xiliang army, and even the soldiers in the army were ready to move, you know, there was no shortage of soldiers in the army There were soldiers of the Xiliang army back then, and the actual situation of the Xiliang army was probably the biggest temptation for the Bingzhou army, but Li Ru did not dare to take too extreme actions, once the soldiers in the army mutinied, the entire Bingzhou would be completely finished, and there would be no trace of strength to resist the Xiliang army.

Yuan Shao sent 100,000 troops, marching towards the border of Youzhou with high spirits, and Gao Lan of Zhuo County learned that the army had arrived, and he had already gone out of the city for ten miles to wait.

Yan Liang hurriedly dismounted, and over the years by Tian Feng's side, he learned a lot of things, especially the unity of the robe, no longer so arrogant as before, this also corresponds to the sentence, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Yan Liang's own martial arts are not bad, and then he has this insight, and he was quickly loved by the soldiers in the army.

After the two met, they walked into the city side by side, for Gao Ran, Yan Liang gave full respect, it was in response to that sentence, those who respect people will always respect it, Gao Ran's good impression of Yan Liang is also rising, I originally thought that Yan Liang was the general of the Jizhou army, and he must have put a score or something in everything, but he didn't expect to be so easy to speak, and carefully explained the situation in Zhuo County and Youzhou to Yan Liang.

Youzhou Yan Rou learned that Yuan Shao's army knocked on the side, hurriedly dispatched troops, the county guard is Wei Lan, is a Wuhuan general, for many years under Yan Rou's account to obey orders, made great achievements, but because it is a Wuhuan people, has not been allowed to be reused, in the army is also quite suppressed, this time the army knocked, Yan Rou eagerly, sent Wei Lan to the county to guard, since the year and Zhou Li Ru rebelled, after the retreat of the Xiliang army, Yan Rou, who got the news in advance, hurriedly occupied the county and did not give Yuan Shaojun any chance.

Veran was ordered to guard Daijun, without the slightest slackness, and was not reused in Youzhou, and the clansmen did not live a happy and stable life as expected, Veran had to rely on his own efforts to obtain it.

Yan Liang immediately crossed his sword and shouted loudly: "The guards in the city, dare to go out of the city to fight!" ”

Yan Liang was born of five big and three coarse, quite loved by the soldiers, this roar is full of energy, attracting the defenders of the city have sideways, in the past battles in Youzhou, Yan Liang has participated many times, so the soldiers are familiar with Yan Liang, not a few, after seeing the people clearly, many soldiers whispered, Yan Liang led the army in Youzhou The scene is vivid, some of the soldiers who came down from the battlefield of attacking Gongsun Chan also knew that Gongsun Chan's white horse righteousness was defeated in the hands of Yan Liang, under the glory of the main generalRelying on the strength of the strong, Yan Liang wants to play not only a deterrent, but also to make the defenders shake themselves to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight, according to Tian Feng, this is the highest honor of a general.

What kind of people are Weilan, how can they nest in the city and suffer such a nest, but Yan Liang's prestige should not be underestimated, point five hundred cavalry, go out of the city to face the battle, Wuhuan cavalry is worthy of the name of bravery, under the leadership of Weilan, it is to exert ten layers of combat effectiveness, a battle will be Yan Liang's soldiers killed and separated, Yan Liang hurriedly led the army to retreat, Wei Lan did not relent, chased Yan Liang, and killed until the outside of the barracks, only to stop the army and leave, and became famous in a battle.

Wei Lan not only has good martial arts, but also has a lot of insight in marching and fighting, Yan Rou still asked him for advice when he encountered some wars, and Wei Lan saw that Yan Liang's army was not stationed in the city and provoked, and the soldiers had a tired look on their faces, so they did not hesitate to lead the army out and defeat Yan Liang, but after the stability of Youzhou, Yan Rou became a little arrogant, and Wei Lan walked out of the core under the general trend.

Seeing that Yan Liang was nothing more than this, the soldiers in the city also swelled a lot of confidence in defending the city, and their eyes became more and more firm when they looked at the mighty army outside the city.

Yan Liang returned to the army with a gloomy expression, in Yuan Shao's army, General Yan Liangwen Chou is the pillar of existence, I didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of an unknown person, looking at the situation, it seems that he is still a Wuhuan person, when in the Han Realm, this group of aliens is rampant, but the strength of the other party makes Yan Liang dare not despise it, and suppresses the burning anger in his chest, this time the army sent 100,000 troops, and the county is bound to win, but Jizhou is cavalry strength has a great shortcoming.

After Yuan Shao received Yan Liang's letter from the front, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures.

Xu You said: "General Yan Liang is just the first to arrive in Daijun, he didn't adapt for a while, and was attacked by the guards, which led to the loss of some soldiers in the army, don't worry, General Yan is brave and strategic, he led the army to fight in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yi was defeated and lost, and he was a rare general. ”
