Chapter 7: The Siege

This time, Zhang Fan only brought 3,000 cavalry, and there were only three commanders.

Now Liu Jin ordered the following to deal with Zhao Yun, Mrs. Gan and other detention matters, and they have left.

Liu An also led people to clean up the battlefield and collect the people of the original Xinye City, which was a physical job.

In the end, he really gathered more than 10,000 people, but those people all showed pessimistic faces one by one, as if waiting for them was Zhang Fan's big knife.

And Liu Ming, the last one, was following Zhang Fan's orders at this time.

"Pretending to be a common person, I went to Liu Bei with this son, and I said my words one by one, and acted in hindsight."

The reason why Liu Ming was allowed to go was that this guy looked like a farmer, unlike Liu An and Liu Jin, who looked like a white-faced scholar.

And the main reason is that this guy's loyalty, there is almost no possibility of betrayal.

As for intelligence, if he thinks he shouldn't say it, no matter how stupid Liu Ming is, he won't say it, so naturally there is no possibility of exposure.

"Yes, my lord!"

"My subordinates know what to do."

Liu Ming arched his hand and said.

Zhang Fan nodded, "Set off immediately, you should catch up with those guys." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go here."

……

Time passed slowly, and it seemed that it was almost noon.

Zhang Fan looked up, he understood that Cao Cao was going to Xinye City!

Look at it now, everything is ready to go.

The next big war is coming......

"Liu Jin, you stay and escort these people."

"Liu'an, go back to Xinye immediately with me."

After the order was simply issued, the two surnamed Liu did not have any extra nonsense and directly received the order.

Immediately, Zhang Fan led Liu An and a thousand archers, a thousand axe cavalry, and two full teams of 1,000 people, and rushed towards Xinye......

……

Cao Cao's military camp!

Cao Cao had already led a large army to suppress Xinye, and at this time he camped outside Xinye City, and he also sent Xiahou Dun, Yu Ban and other generals to surround him.

A posture that is bound to kill the defenders in Xinye City and avenge Cao Ren.

"Prime Minister, according to the news, Liu Bei has now fled to Jiangxia."

"It stands to reason that in this Xinye City, it shouldn't be Liu Bei's subordinates."

Cheng Yu looked pensive and spoke.

"But if it weren't for Liu Bei's people, who would dare to go against the prime minister within a radius of 100 miles?"

"Moreover, it is still such a strong elite army."

Xun You frowned and said inexplicably.

When Cao Cao heard the words of the two, he only felt that the headache had occurred again, and then he sat in the big tent of the Chinese army with some impatience, looked in the direction of Xinye City and said, "How is it over there?" ”

Cheng Yu replied: "General Yuan Rang has already gone to call for battle, but the other party has no intention of answering, and the city gate is closed. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao didn't bother to say anything, a small city, for his army, it was only a matter of time to capture it, and there was no need to waste time here.

It doesn't matter who is in his city or which force exists.

Attack!

Siege the city with all your might!

Cao Cao made up his mind, and of course several strategists would not have any objections, and in their opinion, this was indeed the case.

A small city, no matter how many defenders in the city there are, no matter how strong the strength is, can it still be the opponent of hundreds of thousands of troops?

However, at this time, Jia Xu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he gave up without leaving a trace.

Perhaps, in his opinion, this matter is very strange, he should observe it again, or find a way to get some definite information, and then decide whether to attack or not.

After all, the news that came yesterday showed that the other party had powerful archers.

In this way, I am afraid that the siege of the city may not be beneficial.

But knowing that he was well aware of the preservation of his life, he still decided to give up this opportunity.

Because he was not sure whether his guess was accurate, he did not seek no merit but no fault, so that he looked at his nose and did not say a word.

And outside!

Orders, conveyed in turn, came to the front of the major generals one after another.

Besiege!

Without any conspiracy, a full-scale attack was launched.

It is inevitable that on the eve of the evening, Xinye Castle will be taken!

After receiving the order, Xiahoudun and other generals did not have any extra nonsense, and immediately continued to convey the order.

The Great Army, Finally Attack!

Besiege the city on all sides, attack together, the momentum is immense, the scene is spectacular......

……

Shinno Castle.

Zhao Zhe, as the commander of the pikemen, the force value given to him is a third-rate general at best.

But now, he was appointed by Zhang Fan as the general of the city guard.

For a while, Zhao Zhe was a little at a loss.

Still, he did what he had to do.

At present, there are only 8,000 defenders in Xinye City, after all, the battle with Cao Ren is also dead.

And because Zhao Zhe was in the direction of Cao's army's main attack, the soldiers left were naturally the most, two thousand short archers and five hundred pikemen.

Like the other three, but only a thousand archers and five hundred pikemen.

As for the remaining 1,000 pikemen, it was for which wall was not protected, as a backup.

At this time!

Zhao Zhe looked at the advancing Cao military formation, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and then hurriedly was stunned.

I was terrified.

So, what about them?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Zhe looked at the soldier beside him.

Thankfully, they didn't show any obvious fear, perhaps because their intellect wasn't yet there.

No, I need to boost my morale, or I'll be ashamed of my lord's trust in me.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhe shouted loudly.

"Although we haven't known the lord for a long time, I, Zhao Zhe, believe that the lord must be the master."

"As long as we follow the lord, we will naturally be high-ranking officials waiting for us in the future."

"Brethren, the time to make a mark is at hand."

After speaking, Zhao Zhe himself was excited.

Afterwards, he also saw the energetic soldiers, and after that, he saw that Cao Jun had entered the firing range!

"Ready!"

Hmmm-

Two thousand archers, including the second-order longbowmen, were here, and all of them drew a full bow at this moment.

The arrow was mounted, just waiting for Zhao Zhe's command.

"Put!"

Hmmm-

Two thousand arrows, all released, although they could not cover the sky, were like a dark cloud rising straight into the sky and then falling again.

Coincidentally, the direction they threw was exactly where the phalanx where Yu Ban led the army to charge.

The sound of snorting is endless.

Only one round has passed, and more than 1,000 people have lost their lives completely.

At this point, Cao Jun's side only heard the prestige of his archers, but did not see his true strength, and they finally saw it.

Sure enough, it's terrifying......
