Seeing Li Ru praising himself so much, Li Ru first smiled, and then said as if he remembered something, "But we won't move like this." What if Yan Liang is defeated? Once something goes wrong with them, I'm afraid that the lord won't be able to pass that level. ”

Xu Rong's worries are not unreasonable.

Although Yan Liang is a general, and the general goes into battle to fight, no one dares to say that he will not be injured, or even die. But if Yan Liang is allowed to die without being saved by being surrounded in Chiyang, it will be a big problem even if the news is transmitted back to Jinyang.

Don't say it, just say that Wen Chou, the former Jizhou generals who have just surrendered, will not agree. They must think that this is Zhang Chao who will not save him when he sees death, at that time, it is conceivable how much pressure the lord will face, and when the time comes, the general will be angry, and I am afraid that Xu Rong, who is the commander of the army, will also be questioned.

At least it will damage your reputation, and at worst, it is not impossible to be removed from the position of commander of the legion. After all, a corps commander who is not considerate of his subordinates, who can say that he is a qualified person?

Things really got to that point, and Xu Rong couldn't tell clearly. For this reason, Yan Liang must be saved.

Li Ru also knows this point, and his analysis will only be clearer. He could even imagine that if Yan Liang really died in Chiyang City, or if they didn't save him, at that time, Xu Rong would not have good fruits to eat, and he would do the same.

Zhang Chao once said very early on that as a colleague, it is necessary to cooperate sincerely, only when everyone joins hands, works in one place, and uses strength in one place, it is possible to win the battle, and once it is found that someone has seen death and does not save it, then the crime is the same as disobedience.

Disobedience is a death story. Although with their current status, it is unlikely that Zhang Chao will kill them directly, it is not impossible to give them a cold bench seat for a few years. It's something they definitely don't want to see.

For this reason, Li Ru will definitely save Yan Liang in Chiyang City, but he is waiting for the right opportunity.

Xu Rong reminded Li Ru loudly, he was afraid that he would only care about himself and harm Yan Liang's life, which would anger the lord. In this regard, he replied with a relaxed expression, "It is certain to save people, but now is not the time, think about it, Zhang Fei doesn't know where to ambush, just waiting for us to do it?" If you go to Chiyang to save people now, you will fall for their tricks, so the six legions have been hit hard, and I am afraid that the lord will only be even more displeased. ”

With these words, Xu Rong was not good at what he was saying, he just wanted to remind Li Ru that he could not see death without saving himself, even if people knew everything, he would not be able to talk too much. "Well, everything is according to the will of the military advisor, just say okay, once Zhang Fei goes to Chiyang, then we will definitely send reinforcements."

"That's nature, there is no danger, the 50,000 army must be protected." Speaking of these words, Li Ru's expression was also much more solemn.

And when the two were waiting for Zhang Fei to appear outside Chiyang City, the three generals did not appear. Not only that, Liu Beijun was only surrounding Chiyang City, not attacking.

Yan Liang in the city, when he heard the report of his subordinates that he could only see Liu Beijun's soldiers outside the city, but he couldn't see any signs of them attacking the city, he also laughed.

"General, Zhang Xiu must be afraid of you, so he doesn't dare to attack the city." A general who was good at patting horses was in a good mood when he saw Yan Liang, even if he was flattering on the side.

That's not wrong. Last time, Yan Liang took the initiative to attack and severely damaged Liu Bei's army, and later he counted an approximate result, in that battle, he lost about 3,000 people, and the other party was killed and wounded at least 8,000 people.

Of course, there is a reason why the besieging side of the city has to pay a heavy price in such a ratio, but it is mainly due to Yan Liang's sudden kill, which caught the other party off guard.

As for his sudden attack and defeat of Zhang Xiu, Yan Liang was naturally very proud. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as the first person among the generals who surrendered in Jizhou to officially go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he also achieved such a result, so everyone will have a light on their faces.

Yan Liangzheng had a happy expression on his face, but then because of the words of the general next to him, his face became serious again. "General, you said that we have been guarding Chiyang City for nearly ten days, but why haven't the corps commander and military division come to support us? Does he ignore us? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Yan Liang stopped what the deputy general beside him was about to say. "We are all members of the Sixth Legion, how can we be left alone?"

It's just that although he said this, in fact, Yan's conscience was also bottomless.

No matter how you say it, he belongs to the later people, and his friendship with Xu Rong and Li Ru is also average, whether they will really save themselves is a question. And if there are no reinforcements, it is almost impossible to hold Chiyang City with 50,000 people with him. Needless to say, food alone is a big problem. Not long ago, the quartermaster said that the food brought by the army could last for half a month at most, that is to say, he could only hold out for so long in defending the city, and once there were no reinforcements at that time, he would have to think about breaking through, although the losses were heavy, it was better than being trapped in the city.

And once you want to break through, you have to have someone to support you. Otherwise, with less than 50,000 troops, once you leave the city and have no strong walls, won't you have to be slaughtered?

Yan Liang has his own considerations and worries. He didn't have 100% confidence that he would be able to get support, so he didn't have enough confidence to rush out with everyone.

And in his apprehension, day by day. Seeing that there was not much food in the city, there was not much food. However, on the twentieth day after entering the city and being besieged, when the food in the city was only enough for five days, there was finally a new movement outside Chiyang City, and Liu Beijun began to beat drums and gather troops.

After more than ten days, Zhuge Liang has made all the arrangements. After withdrawing the forces of the main force of the ambush of the Sixth Army, in the attack on Chiyang City, it is not a joke like before, but a real move. As long as it is defeated with a single blow, it will be better to deal a better blow to the soldiers of the Six Legions in the future.

Zhuge Liang was about to make a move, Zhang Xiu and other generals also changed into heavy armor, and all the soldiers also made preparations for the siege after eating and drinking.

The last time the city was sieged, the ladder wasted a lot. These days, Liu Bei's army has made more, which can ensure the need for siege.

Everything was ready, and Liu Bei's army, dressed in an earthy yellow military uniform, began to press forward step by step, and at the same time besieged Chiyang City.

Yan Liang got the news, and he also put on a heavy battle armor and went to the city wall. Then he saw a dense crowd of soldiers, and then his face became much more solemn.

Anyone can see that this time Liu Bei's army is going to go up as a whole, so if you want to defend the city, you will inevitably have to pay a greater price. It's just that no matter what, Yan Liang doesn't seem to have any more choices now.

With a hint of heaviness in his eyes, Yan Liang himself didn't know if there were reinforcements that would come to save him, just like the deputy general said, wouldn't it really be abandoned?

If this is the case, he and his army of 50,000 will probably die here.

Is it going to be used in the end? That sad look flashed away, Liu Beijun had already begun to attack the city, and he couldn't think too much about it at the moment, and he couldn't help thinking too much about the facts. "Prepare to shoot your arrows, remember, keep the enemy close and shooting."

Yan Liang issued an order, it really can't be said otherwise, the last time he defended the city, nearly one-third of the bow and arrows were used, and now if it is released endlessly, it will be exhausted, in that case, the difficulty of defending the city will only increase.

Under the city wall, I saw Liu Bei's soldiers in khaki military uniforms rushing forward like ants. A rough calculation shows that there are more than 5,000 people.

This is only the first echelon, and behind it, there are 5,000 people waiting for it. And this kind of formation is far more than that, behind it, in the place where it cannot be seen, there should be the enemy's reserve army.

This is clearly to use crowd tactics to consume yourself. There are less than 50,000 soldiers, and in the face of such an offensive, they may be able to hold on for a day or two, but it is really difficult to say after a long time.

"Prepare to release the arrows. At the same time, prepare sleepers, boulders, and oil oil, and remember, unless the situation is critical, if not, do not use these things indiscriminately. Helplessly, there were not enough items to defend the city, and at this moment, Yan Liang had to be like a clever daughter-in-law, and he could calculate his life.

On the upper floor of Chiyang City, there were five regiments, and 10,000 soldiers stood with shields, their eyes blazing at the enemy rushing from below, their hands were nervous, and most of their palms began to turn white, which was caused by holding their weapons too tightly.

Fortunately, I have been trained in this area in normal times, so I am not as nervous as a recruit. It's just that everyone knows that it is a drill after all, and it can't compare to the current actual combat, and this is an errand that will lose your life if you don't do it well.

Under the watchful eye of Yan Liang leading the army in the city tower, Liu Bei's soldiers below were getting closer and closer, and finally some cloud ladders had been erected under the city wall, and the other end of the cloud ladder was handed to the city tower.

"Push!" One of the regimental commanders ordered that even though the soldiers with nearly a thousand men holding halberds pushed towards the two logs of the ladder, the force was so strong that some of the ladders quickly looked back.

It's just that just a cloud ladder has been pushed down, and other cloud ladders have been handed up, and the number is still increasing.

"Shoot the arrows." Yan Liang knew that once these ladders were successfully established, he was afraid that countless enemies would come up from here, and if they were like this, the city tower would undoubtedly be in danger.
