Chapter 48: Repelling the Bandits

Yang Zhao almost thought that he had heard it wrong.

The bandits of Evil Wolf Mountain, there are only more than 1,500 people left, and they dare to attack the city? Isn't this a proper head-off?

Yang Zhao came to the north of Liangxiang City Tower, and when he looked down, the group of bandits really gathered outside the city, and their big boss, sitting on a tall war horse, saw the soldiers of Liangxiang appear, and directly ordered the siege of the city.

Hundreds of bandits, with more than a dozen ladders, first approached the city wall of Liangxiang.

The more than 1,000 bandits behind followed and confidently attacked the city, but their queue was as chaotic as it was, and it was completely a rabble.

Yang Zhao admired the courage of these bandits.

I really dare to attack Liangxiang and avenge their second master.

If the thieves don't come down the mountain, they can't do anything about them, and going down the mountain is equivalent to coming to death.

"Guorang, Zijing, you take 500 people out of the city from the west gate, and when these bandits are beaten away, they will be intercepted and killed."

Yang Zhao didn't put the bandits below in his eyes, only a few hundred people were needed, and they could completely resist the siege of more than a thousand people, and continued: "Others, follow me to defend the city and kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and I have to say that Yang Zhao's cohesion is very strong.

Zhao and Tian Yu did not hesitate, and took most of the soldiers and walked down the city tower.

For the battle of defending the city, no one is better at it than Yang Zhao and Fang Rui, who were in Yecheng at the beginning, desperately defending the Yellow Turban Army's strong attacks again and again, and personally fighting with rich experience.

Seeing this, the three brothers Liu Guanzhang also took up arms and joined the city defense team.

"Archer, shoot!"

Yang Zhao shouted.

More than a hundred archers immediately drew their bows and shot under the walls.

Dozens of people were shot and killed before the thieves carrying the ladder could get closer, but they did not stop, braving the rain of arrows to charge forward, and finally let them come to the bottom of the city wall, and after the ladder was erected, the thieves behind rushed up and climbed in a chaotic manner.

"Wood, stone, smash it down."

Liu Bei said anxiously.

Above the castle tower, there are some things to defend the city all year round.

Stones, wood, etc. are the most common, the soldiers carry them and smash them down, the siege of the bandits is chaotic, there is no discipline, there is no discipline, the bandits who climb the ladder are partly stoned to death, and all the people in the rear are afraid of death and dare not go forward.

Seeing this, the big boss hurriedly stepped forward to urge them and forced them to continue the siege.

Although the bandits were in a mess, they were relatively numerous, and soon had an advantage, and some people were ready to climb to the castle tower, but as soon as they approached, they were cut down.

"County magistrate, there are a lot of people down there."

Jian Yong ran over at this time.

"What are the people doing here?"

Yang Zhao looked back and saw thousands of people, gathered at the entrance of the city tower.

"County magistrate, we're here to help you defend the city."

"Let's help kill the bandits and defend our homeland, please ask the county magistrate for permission!"

"Please ask the prefectural magistrate to agree."

……

These people have received wealth and food today, and have received Yang Zhao's favor.

In addition, Yang Zhao is the best county order for them over the years, and if he guards Liangxiang, he will guard their home, and many people will come to ask for war with the guys who usually do farm work, asking to defend the city together.

"Let them come up."

Yang Zhao said loudly: "It is not difficult to defend the city, and there is no danger, you can pick up the stones on the city tower and smash them down against those bandits." ”

More than a thousand people joined it, so that Yang Zhao, who was not under a lot of pressure, had almost no pressure.

The siege of the bandits is very simple, and they only know how to climb up randomly through the ladder, and there is no strategy to speak of.

It was not difficult for them to defend the city, except that at the beginning there were many bandits, and the momentum was in full swing, and a few almost climbed up and needed to be cut with knives, but now there is no need to engage in hand-to-hand combat at all.

Crossbowmen, shoot directly.

The soldiers and civilians who did not have bows and crossbows lifted stones and logs around them and threw them down.

Some of the people actively ran down the tower, dug up stones on the roads in the city or in their own houses, and moved them to the tower to defend the city.

After a round of bombardment from above, the bandits suffered heavy casualties.

More than 1,500 people died in an instant.

The rest of the bandits, no matter how much the big boss urged, were afraid of death and did not dare to step forward, and retreated in confusion.

"Big boss, we can't break the city!"

One of the thieves worried: "If we continue to fight like this, not only will we not be able to avenge the second master, but we may all die here." ”

The big boss was also upset and decided to attack the city, but he suddenly became hot-headed and desperate for revenge.

Now the guard of Liangxiang poured him a plate of cold water, sobered up for everything, and asked regretfully, "What should we do now?" This damn Liangxiang County Order, if you don't kill him, how can I gain a foothold in Youzhou? ”

The bandit said: "We should retreat first, and then the county order of Liangxiang will definitely climb the mountain to attack, the Youzhou army has been here before, and it is not blocked by the terrain of the Evil Wolf Mountain, we still have the advantage, and we are not afraid at all." ”

He continued: "Liangxiang County ordered to bring troops to suppress it, we retreated, as soon as they retreated, we went down the mountain to plunder, drove him to death, drove him crazy, and saw who couldn't hold it first!" ”

The big boss thought it made sense, and since he couldn't beat it, he played yin, and said loudly: "Let them retreat and go back to Evil Wolf Mountain!" ”

When the bandits heard that they could retreat, they were so excited that they shouted out, and immediately turned around and ran away, and the rabble was a chaos, and the bandits who were able to retreat in the end were only more than 900 people.

"I'll definitely be back!"

The big boss saw that in just a few days, more than a thousand bandits had been killed in battle, and his heart was dripping blood.

He will definitely not let Yang Zhao go.

However, they retreated to the northwest, and had only walked a few miles when suddenly there was a shout of slaughter in front of them.

With the move on the left and Tian Yu on the right, each leading two hundred and fifty people, rushed out without warning.

The bandits saw that there was an ambush here, and they were undisciplined, so they were in a mess again, and rushed out in confusion to escape for their lives.

In the end, the big boss took the remaining more than 600 people and ran away desperately, more than 1,500 people went down the mountain, and only more than 600 could go back, which no longer needed to drop blood.

It's time to vomit blood.

Tian Yu and the others did not chase after them, cleaned up the battlefield, and retreated back to Liangxiang.

The big boss fled back to the Evil Wolf Mountain, and never dared to go down the mountain for half a step.

Inside the city.

Yang Zhao almost cleaned the battlefield, and those bandits didn't have much value on them, just confiscated their weapons.

"County magistrate, we lost twenty-two people and killed more than three hundred bandits."

After he came back, he first reported the results: "It's a pity that the thief leader escaped." ”

Yang Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

The turmoil quickly subsided, and they continued to go back, sharing food and money, and completing what had not been done just now.

Tian Chou was the most surprised of all of them.

One of the strongest bandits who has been doing evil in Youzhou for many years, the bandits of Evil Wolf Mountain, was almost defeated by Yang Zhao in this way, and the army of bandits could not do such an effect before.

"The county magistrate is too powerful!"
