Chu Wenxiu and Huang Shao came to the city, looked up, and happened to meet Yang Zhao's eyes.

Huang Shao stepped forward, raised his gun and shouted: "Who is Yang Zhao? If you don't open the city gate quickly, you won't have to kill General Ben into the city!"

Hearing this, Yang Zhao stood with his hands in his hands, and responded condescendingly and indifferently: "Yang Zhao is here! If you have the ability, you will attack the city and wait below." ”

Seeing him so arrogant, Huang Shao was furious: "General Zhong, you and I will break through the city gate together!"

In fact, Zhong Jizhao, as Jiuqing, has a much higher status than Huang Shao. However, the main will be Chu Wenxiu, who is also Jiuqing, and Huang Shao is Chu Wenxiu's husband.

Moreover, Zhong Jizhao has always been more concerned about his status as a subordinate, and knows that Chu Wenxiu and Huang Shao have been very used by Ning Ze recently, so he doesn't care about Huang Shao's attitude.

The main Huang Shao is young and lacks sophistication, but his wife Chu Wenxiu is very respectable in everything.

Zhong Jizhao didn't talk nonsense, and directly led his troops to attack the city gate with Huang Shao.

"Release the arrows!" Yang Zhao ordered in the city, and suddenly the arrows rained down.

Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao were repulsed in several waves, and Chu Wenxiu transferred the crossbowmen to the front and cooperated with the ballista to shoot at the enemy.

Both sides had their own injuries, and they could not attack for a long time.

Chu Wenxiu asked Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao to divide their troops to attack several other gates in Loushan County, but found that the enemy's defense was very good, and it was very difficult to break through the city, and there was no omission at all.

In such a situation, the only way to shoot is to try to find a breakthrough.

The two sides were in a stalemate for about ten days, and the city was running out of arrows.

The leader of the Seven Great Warrior Clans found Yang Zhao and asked him to think of a way.

The Chinese army came prepared, and there were many arrows.

Moreover, they belong to the besieging side, and it is also convenient to recover arrows. Unlike the defenders, there are too few arrows left behind, and most of them fall.

Without arrows, it will be more difficult to defend the city.

Yang Zhao thought for a moment and said to them: "This matter is easy! The enemy army is encamped outside the city, but you can set up more straw men, put on our army uniforms, tie them with ropes tonight, and put down the city." When the enemy saw it, he must have thought that our army was attacking at night and stopped him with arrows. Then you'll get a lot of arrows!"

That night, the defenders of the city took advantage of the cover of night to tie countless scarecrows in soldiers' uniforms and put them down from the city.

The scout of the dark China Kingdom vaguely saw countless black shadows in the city, slowly descended, and hurriedly told Chu Wenxiu.

Chu Wenxiu thought that the enemy was preparing for a night attack, so he immediately asked Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao to lead their troops to meet the city gate, and fired a volley of bows and arrows.

As a result, arrows were planted with scarecrows, and the defenders of the city had no trouble obtaining a large number of strategic supplies.

On the second day, the defenders used this trick again, taking advantage of the darkness to deceive the arrows and succeed.

The third day was the same.

In fact, the next day, Chu Wenxiu was a little skeptical.

There is no reason for the defenders in the city to be sent to death again and again, so obsessed with night attacks.

So keep an eye out for the scouts to investigate.

As a result, the scouts reported that the city appeared to be hiding a scarecrow wearing an enemy uniform with a rope tied to it. On top of that, see the enemy soldiers take arrows from the scarecrow.

Chu Wenxiu suddenly realized: "The enemy army must be short of arrows, so this strategy deceives me with weapons!"

That night, Yang Zhao selected 800 warriors and said to them: "Today, I deliberately let the enemy scouts find the straw men, and the other party will not spend more arrows when they learn of the plan." Just take this opportunity to kill him by surprise! Of course, this trip is also risky. If the enemy finds out, you will surely die. If you wait for the sacrifice before the battle, you don't have to worry about your wife and children, I will give them a generous pension, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives!

"Fearless!!" The eight hundred warriors are all carefully selected, the true elite of the warrior clan.

"Very good!" Yang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "It's up to you tonight!"

That night, all the 800 warriors tied ropes around their waists and slowly lowered them from the city.

The Huaguo scout saw it, thinking it was another scarecrow, and reported it according to the truth.

Chu Wenxiu also thought it was a scarecrow, so he asked the soldiers to ignore it, so as not to send the opponent's arrows to shoot at him.

Unexpectedly, this time they were all real people, and after the eight hundred warriors came down, they avoided the scouts, and successfully came to the Huaguo camp and secretly set fire.

The camp was on fire, and there was chaos.

"Walk the water, go out of the water!" shouted panic everywhere.

Taking advantage of his panic, 800 warriors set fire to the Huaguo camp everywhere, and then quickly fled.

The camp was burned, and the Chinese army was in chaos.

Chu Wenxiu decisively ordered the camp to be abandoned, and the whole army retreated ten miles.

Lost inexplicably for a while, and immediately understood that the information detected by the scouts during the day was probably deliberately leaked by the other party to let himself find out.

Because of this, the other party let people down tonight, and let himself subconsciously think that he was a scarecrow again, and he was tricked.

There are smart people in the city, and it's not easy!

The Huaguo military camp was burned, the whole army was defeated, and the scholars in the city were ecstatic.

The leader of the Shi clan set up a banquet to celebrate his achievements with Yang Zhao.

At the banquet, Yang Zhao said: "Although the enemy army retreated, this battle was not won! The imperial court was anxious to repair the imperial city, and the heavy garrison placed Huaguo to commit another offense, and it was unable to rush to the aid of Loushan. Now that the materials in the city are limited, it is difficult to hold on for a long time by relying on us and other families to raise funds!"

Hearing this, the leaders of the clan asked, "How is it good?"

Yang Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to win, you need to break the enemy army head-on and crush the enemy's morale!

China is a regular army, and after strict training, the army has strong combat effectiveness.

The defenders in the city are all private soldiers of the scholar clan, and the good and the bad are uneven. Moreover, they are all in charge of their own affairs, and it is difficult to unify their command. When defending the city, they are assigned areas, but they are perfectly matched. However, it is very difficult to get them to accept the command in a frontal war.

Even if you can ban all private soldiers, you may not win.

The leaders of the clan also knew about this situation and hurriedly asked him for his plan.

Yang Zhao said: "The enemy army will definitely go and return, and when they know that the arrows in the city are approaching, they will attack fiercely. If you want to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop, you must take extraordinary measures!"

Yang Zhao asked each family to contribute all the cattle, and asked them to spend money to buy them from the people, and made up 500 heads.

Five hundred cows gathered together, and the scene was simply amazing.

The leaders of the Shi clan did not know what Yang Zhao wanted to do, and he said that these 500 cows were the key to defeating the Chinese army, and the question was how to rely on them to win?

Yang Zhao had all kinds of flammable materials strapped, and each cow was tied with dry fur, quilts, and clothing, and then carried bundles of firewood. These things were tied with ropes, stuffed with a large number of firecrackers, and the soldiers were asked to apply tung oil to them.

The camp of the Chinese army was burned down for a while, and it was finally repaired and slaughtered again to the city.

Since he knew that there were not many arrows in the city, Chu Wenxiu asked Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao to lead the troops to charge the battle and forcibly attack the city to consume the opponent's arrows.

Yang Zhao commanded the battle in the city and tried his best to resist.

When the arrows were almost consumed, Hua Guo noticed it and immediately stepped up his offensive, preparing to break through the city gate in one go.

"The time has come!" Seeing that the main army of Huaguo had reached the city, Yang Zhao immediately ordered, "Open the city gate and release the cattle!"

The herd was closed near the city gate, and the soldiers were ordered to open the fence and drive them to the gate in an orderly manner.

The defenders slowly opened the gates.

Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao were leading their troops to attack, and suddenly found that the city gate was open, thinking that there were people in the city who rebelled and helped them. So he led a large army to rush over.

Unexpectedly, after the city gate was opened, what appeared in front of them was a herd of cattle, which made people scratch their heads.

The defenders of the city set fire to the combustibles on the cattle with torches, and in an instant they burst into flames, and the firecrackers hidden inside crackled and exploded.

The cattle were frightened and rushed out of the city in a frenzy. Their bodies burned, causing them to spiral out of control in pain.

Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao didn't expect this situation, and panicked in the face of the crazy herd of cattle on fire.

Crazy herds are coming, crashing into people at sight, trampling and running wildly in desperation.

However, the main forces of the Chinese Kingdom are all here, and five hundred fire oxen rush in, and any one of them will cause unimaginable damage. The madness of the entire herd caused a large number of casualties among the Chinese soldiers, and they were powerless to resist.

The fire also spread, and the cattle were covered with tung oil and flammable materials, which fell on the soldiers and siege equipment during the collision, and soon ignited and soon turned into a sea of fire.

"Don't panic, shoot them!!" Although he didn't know what was going on, seeing the heavy losses of his own army, Zhong Jizhao ordered loudly.

However, the soldiers were panicked in the face of the fire bull, and the whole team was disorganized, and it was difficult to receive orders.

At this moment, Yang Zhao and the leaders of the seven warrior clans led their troops to kill and raided while they were in chaos.

The Chinese army was defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Wenxiu, who was supervising the army in the back, immediately called out the gold and asked the army to retreat.

Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao heard the sound of gold, and although they were unwilling, they still resolutely ordered the whole army to turn around and evacuate.

Yang Zhao led his troops to pursue in the rear, wanting to take advantage of the defeat of the Chinese army to defeat it in one fell swoop and achieve a complete victory.

Huaguo's side was crushed by the fire bull, and there was no way to rectify the troops and horses in a short time, and the head-to-head confrontation was naturally not an opponent.

Therefore, Chu Wenxiu, Huang Shao, and Zhong Jizhao led their men to evacuate all the way.

The Shi army was in hot pursuit, and it was constantly approaching, and it was only a matter of time before the chaotic Chinese army caught up.

Yang Zhao and the leaders of the Shi clan are also determined to win.

Chased to the vicinity of Chengzhou Cave, the Chinese army passed through the main road, and Yang Zhao and the leader of the Shi clan in the rear chased over, and suddenly the cannons rang out on both sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"There is an ambush!" Yang Zhao hurriedly grabbed the reins and decisively ordered, "Quickly retreat!"

The Shi army quickly turned around, gave up the pursuit of the Chinese army, and quickly withdrew in the direction of Loushan County.

When they left, Chu Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

There were only a few hundred people lying in ambush on both sides, which was a disguise.

Fortunately, she had a back hand, otherwise she would have been caught up by the enemy, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The other party thought that the reinforcements from Huaguo had arrived, but they didn't know to give up a great opportunity. If we didn't pay attention to the so-called "ambush", we would have wiped out the defeated army of China long ago.

The battle lost more than half of the troops, and it can be said that it was a great defeat.

Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao were all black and embarrassed, and so were the soldiers under them.
