The next day, after Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang, the two main and deputy vanguards, led an army of 10,000 to the outside of Yuncheng County, they did not immediately attack, but only put on an offensive posture to exert psychological pressure on the defending side.

At the same time, according to Gao Yu's orders, more than a dozen loud voices were sent to shout under the city to disintegrate the Zhu family army - if someone really couldn't help but lure Wan Yi and tied up Zhu Long to surrender, wouldn't it be a big bargain!

What they are really doing is building siege ladders.

When the ladder is ready, they will attack the city to see if they can take it in one fell swoop.

If you can win it, of course, you will spend the night in Yuncheng County tonight.

Although there is a rule that "guest troops do not enter the city", Yuncheng County has already fallen, and their invasion of the city is to regain lost territory, of course, not in this case.

If it can't be attacked for a while, then set up camp outside the city, and then continue the attack.

As the vanguard, they are the most elite forbidden army under their command, and they bear the heavy responsibility of overcoming difficulties, and this recovery of Yuncheng County is a good opportunity for them to make meritorious contributions.

This position of "pioneer" was won by giving a heavy gift to Gao Yu.

Although the two of them are strong in martial arts and superb in marksmanship, if they continue to be the leaders of the forbidden army, they have no future at all. If you want to get ahead, you can only enter the army and make meritorious contributions.

The two rode horses, stood in front of the formation, observed the top of the city, and discussed with each other from time to time.

"The person in the middle in front should be Zhulong!" Zhou Ang guessed.

Qiu Yue shook his head, he didn't know either.

Suddenly, the young military general at the head of the city drew his bow and released arrows, shooting down an officer and soldier who was shouting below, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they ran back.

"Hmph, it's quite rampant!" Zhou Ang was furious, and said to the guards behind him: "Send more people to supervise the construction of the ladder!" ”

Qiu Yue pointed to the young military general who had just shot an arrow at the head of the city, and admonished: "This person is a master, more than one hundred and fifty steps away, the archery skills can be so accurate, you and I have to be careful of this person!" ”

Zhou Ang pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "When the two armies are fighting and fighting, see how he releases arrows!" You and I will go back to the camp and waste our strength here. ”

Qiu Yue was just about to say yes, but suddenly found that the city gate was slowly opening!

He and Zhou Ang glanced at each other, only to see that the other party's eyes were also full of surprise.

The shouting worked!

Sure enough, someone opened the door and surrendered!

"Brothers, take the door with me!" Zhou Ang turned around and yelled, wanting to occupy the city gate quickly, but he was taken back by the thieves when he was late.

Zhou Ang was about to pat his horse and rush up, when Qiu Yue suddenly reached out and grabbed the reins of his war horse, looking at the direction of the city gate in surprise.

I saw that from the doorway, a general rushed out, wearing black heavy armor, with a huge body, like a small mountain, with a bare head, although it was far away, I could also feel a fierce momentum rushing towards me.

Immediately after that, two more fierce generals were killed.

A man with a majestic body, as cast of steel, wearing an iron hoop on his head, long hair scattered, and wielding two large iron halberds, making people feel unmatched.

The other person was a young military general who had just released arrows at the head of the city, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic and vigorous, with a painted bird bow behind his back and a silver spear in his hand.

Behind the three of them, a steady stream of cavalry poured out from the city gate, like a raging black tide.

"Thieves are rampant and bring about their own destruction! Follow me, brothers! Zhou Ang took the lead and led a cavalry to meet him.

Qiu Yue didn't stop it, he wanted to see how the cavalry combat effectiveness of Zhujiazhuang was.

The two armies were no more than a mile apart, and they soon collided head-on.

As the deputy head of the forbidden army, Zhou Ang is very confident in marksmanship.

In the face of the oncoming bald general, he was undaunted.

The water mill Zen staff smashed down head-on, Zhou Ang raised it to block it, only to feel a fierce and incomparable force attacking, his hands were paralyzed, and the spear almost fell off.

After a move, the two sides passed by.

Encountering a young military general with wonderful archery skills, Zhou Ang picked up the gun and swung it away, but he couldn't exert his strength in his hand, and hurriedly turned to the side, but he didn't completely dodge, and his shoulder was slashed by the tip of the gun, but fortunately, the armor was strong and thick, and he was not injured.

The big Zen staff in Lu Zhishen's hand swept through thousands of troops, roaring like thunder, and the officers and soldiers in front of him were flying flesh and blood, very brutal.

Wu Song had a pair of big iron halberds, slashed and smashed on the left, turning into a humanoid beast, and the blockers were invincible.

Compared with the above two, Hua Rong is much more normal, the gun is like lightning, fast and ruthless, one shot stabs a big hole in the enemy's body, and continues to stab the next.

Under the leadership of the three fierce generals, the soldiers of the guard camp directly crushed the cavalry of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

The cavalry of the sailor division has been trained by Hua Rong for a long time, and their riding and archery skills are first-class, so they don't need them to charge into battle, but they play cavalry and archery in the back, and shoot the officers and soldiers off their horses with sharp arrows.

Qiu Yue saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly drove the army to press up.

Although Lu Zhishen looks like a mad demon and kills all directions, as a former fierce general of the Western Army, he is still quite sober-minded and has a strong ability to control the situation on the battlefield.

Then he turned his horse's head, made a large arc, swept in front of the phalanx of infantry with strict officers and soldiers, and retreated in the direction of the city gate.

The cavalry of the naval division at the rear did not forget to take the opportunity to show a wave of cavalry shooting, and the arrows were fiercely fired at the officers and soldiers, in addition to the clanging sound of colliding armor, there were also many sounds of arrows shooting into the flesh, and the screams of the wounded afterwards.

Zhu Jiajun entered the city triumphantly, and the comrades above let out thunderous cheers.

In front of the officers and soldiers, there were only mutilated corpses, howling wounded, and ownerless war horses...... Left a mess behind.

Xu Guanzhong looked at the soldiers cheering loudly, and felt that what Zhu Biao did also made some sense, not exactly young and vigorous.

His plan was to wait for the Zhujia army to be in a predicament, unable to hold it quickly, and the officers and soldiers were also tired and tired, and sent cavalry to suddenly kill, catch the enemy by surprise, and boost the morale of his side.

Now Zhu Biao has played this hand first, and I don't know if I can use it in the future.

Just when Zhu Jiajun was cheering for Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, Qiu Yue looked at the dejected Zhou Ang, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's just a small setback, and the outcome is not yet known." Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, don't let the captain see the clues! ”

"With so many cavalry lost, how could he not know?"

Qiu Yue shook his head, thinking that it was no wonder that his martial arts were so strong, but he was only a deputy sect leader, so he nodded to him in a low voice: "I wish the thief wanted to abandon the city and flee, and he was killed in a big way, but we bravely intercepted and blocked back, so that losses are inevitable!" ”

Zhou Ang glanced at him in surprise, revealing admiration.

"Well, Captain Gao is not a fool! You go and see if the ladder is built, hurry up and launch a siege, the battle is open, casualties are inevitable, everything is easy to explain! ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Ang was reminded and hurriedly ran to supervise the construction of the ladder.

On the city wall, Zhu Biao asked Xu Guanzhong: "What does Staff Officer Xu think should be next?" ”

"Although the officers and soldiers lost for a while, but looking at their formation, they still maintained the attack tense, I guess they should be building siege equipment, once it is created, they will attack!"

"What does the military advisor think?"

"Let Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Zou Yuan each go to the other three city walls, and the rest of the generals are here to prepare for battle!"

Two hours later, the officers and soldiers had built twenty ladders, and under the personal supervision of Zhou Ang, the officers and soldiers carried the ladders to the city wall.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhu Biao shouted.

The archers at the head of the city fired arrows downwards and immediately shot down the officers and soldiers carrying the ladder.

"Archer!" Qiu Yue waved his hand, and he wanted to use the bows and arrows of officers and soldiers to suppress the Zhujia army at the head of the city.

A group of officers and soldiers archers stepped forward and fired arrows at the head of the city.

Although the overall number of officers and soldiers is large, whether it is spearmen, large shield soldiers or archers, the number is not more than that of the Zhujia army.

Because the degree of "specialization" of officers and soldiers is too high, those who play with bows never play with guns, and even archers and crossbowmen are two distinct arms.

But everyone in Zhu Jiajun must be versatile and compound talents. Except for the big shield soldiers, basically everyone must know how to bow and arrow, and if you don't have that talent, you have to learn crossbow arrows.

And the big shield soldier must not only be able to use a shield, but also a javelin and a short knife.

Therefore, the arrows of the officers and soldiers were not able to form an overwhelming force, and the Zhujia army took advantage of the geographical advantage to suppress the bow and arrow offensive of the officers and soldiers.

But the officers and soldiers did their job with their lunges, because the others had already carried ladders to the bottom of the city and added the head of the city.

Those who dared to climb the city were the bravest soldiers, and although they wore thick iron armor that was very heavy, it affected the climbing ladder, but these officers and soldiers were still like monkeys, holding knives in their mouths, and climbing up with agility.

"Drive them down!" Zhu Biao ordered.

The soldiers poked down with their spears, and even if they were not stabbed to death, they were stabbed down the ladder and fell.

The siege lasted less than half an hour, and the morale of the officers and men fell to a low point, and no one took the initiative to climb the ladder and rush up.

But Zhou Ang stood behind with the team of warlords, and whoever dared to take half a step back would cut off his head on the spot.

Even with such harshness, it was of no avail, not even a single soldier to climb the city.

Suddenly, a gong sounded behind him, and the siege officers and soldiers were relieved and retreated like a tide, only Zhou Ang stared at the city unwillingly.

At the head of the city, Lu Zhishen wondered: "Why did you suddenly retreat when you fought well." ”

"Probably waiting for the old thief to come over!" Zhu Biao guessed.

"It looks like in a while, there will be another big battle!"

Zhou Ang urged the military craftsmen to continue to build the ladder, and it didn't take long to build another 30 units.

In the evening, Gao Yu's army arrived, and Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang came out of the camp to greet them.

"Is the city under siege?" Gao Yu asked.

Qiu Yue said cautiously: "Laid down, but not fell, sacrificed a lot of brothers!" ”

"Rice bucket!"

"The last general is incompetent. Zhu Jiajun tried to rush out, but I blocked it! ”

Gao Yu's eyes widened: "What are you doing in a daze!" Go ahead and besiege the city! ”

"Yes, yes! The last general will personally lead people to attack the city! Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang hurriedly gathered a team of elite soldiers, carried the cloud ladder, and rushed to the city.

When Gao Yu came, Zhu Biao had already found out.

An army of 40,000 covered the sky and the sun with flags, setting off billowing wolf smoke.

Zhu Biao's expression was solemn, the strength of the official army was already eight times his own, and this small county town was low, how could he hold it!

Fortunately, it didn't take long for two people to leave, one left and one right.

Xu Guanzhong laughed: "The master's clever plan has taken effect!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Biao looked at him puzzled.

"The officers and soldiers tried to break up my army, and the lord did the same against them. These two roads of men and horses are transferred by the main public plan, all the way to prevent you and the sailor, and all the way to prevent our main cavalry! ”

"Big brother is really clever!"

"Hey—they're taking the city!" Xu Guanzhong pointed to the officers and soldiers below.

Without Zhu Biao saying anything, the soldiers spontaneously took action, hiding behind the battlements and casting cold arrows.

Under the personal supervision of Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang, the vanguard army was pressed, and Zhu Biao suddenly felt great pressure.

This is not a tentative attack, but an attack that is determined to win.

After several officers and soldiers were poked down in succession, a strong officer and soldier quickly climbed up, and in the face of two spears, he did not hurry, grabbed the barrel of the gun, used his knife to pull away the other shot, and then jumped in.

After cutting down the two soldiers, a sharp arrow flew and pierced his neck! He looked up with difficulty and saw that it was the young general.

With a little unwillingness, he fell to the ground with a thud.

Hua Rong didn't look at him, now he was too busy. The officers and soldiers attacked fiercely, and his sharp arrows were needed to eliminate those who had gone up to the city walls.

Gao Yu looked at the fierce siege battle, although there were officers and soldiers on this side who continued to climb the city wall, but it was difficult to stand still, the bald head and the head on the city wall were too fierce, and no one on his side could resist them.

"Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, you each bring 6,000 men and horses to attack the city from the left and right!"

"Yes!" The two henchmen answered loudly, leading men and horses, one left and one right, to attack from the east and west sides of the city.

As soon as they joined, the pressure on the Zhu family army was even greater, and Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi led their subordinates to resist desperately and fight bloodily.

Zou Yuan, who was idle nearby, also brought someone over to help.

The enemy troops continued to pour in, and the four firefighters Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Hua Rong, and Han Bolong were no longer busy.

Zhu Biao also carried a gun and personally went into battle to kill the enemy.

Suddenly, he heard Zhang Shun's roar, and it turned out that a general of the officers and soldiers rushed to the head of the city, killed several people in a row, cleared a clearing, and the officers and soldiers behind rushed up one after another.

Zhang Shun drew his sword and rushed forward, wanting to drive them down, fighting for several rounds, and found that he was not the opponent of this officer general!

This officer and army general is none other than Dang Shiying, who is holding a big knife, sweeping around, no one dares to approach, guarding the ladder behind him, so that the officers and soldiers can continue to rush up.

When the high priests in the city saw it, they were overjoyed and ordered the drummer to beat the war drum to cheer and motivate.

Zhu Biao's eyes were cracked, if he couldn't drive this person down, it would be over.

He was about to rush over, but he saw a scene that shocked him - Xu Guanzhong, the staff officer of the march, had already rushed over.

I saw Xu Guanzhong roll up his sleeves, raise a Pu knife, run to the east city wall, cross Zhang Shun, and rush to Dang Shiying, who was killing the Quartet.

Dang Shiying also saw Xu Guanzhong, and saw a scholar rushing towards him with a knife, which was very ridiculous.

Zhang Shun was also stunned, and shouted in a lost voice: "Staff Officer Xu! ”

In his heart, Xu Guanzhong is like a strategist in the play, with great wisdom, but he has no power to restrain the chicken.

Didn't he send him to death?

He stretched out his hand to pull Xu Guanzhong, but he was a step too slow, and he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, and Xu Guanzhong had already rushed in front of Dang Shiying.

Dang Shiying didn't take Xu Guanzhong in his eyes at all, and swept it with a knife.

He believed that his casual blow would not have the strength that this scholar could withstand.

However, Xu Guanzhong blocked the Pu knife outward, separated the knife, and took advantage of the forward momentum to kick Dang Shiying in the stomach, kicking him out of the city wall and falling!

Everyone was stunned, what a fierce scholar, what about the good quality of the writing?
