Chapter 345: Decisive Battle in Yanzhou (14)

After receiving Tian Feng's summons, Guan Hai in the east of Puyang and Sun Guan in the south of the city immediately led their troops to help the main battlefield in the west of the city.

The coalition army in the east of the city originally had 80,000 horses, and after the early morning battle, it lost tens of thousands, but there were still more than 7,000 people, and the elite was still there! Therefore, under the deployment of Chun Yuqiong, the whole army began to attack the city. And the vanguard is the two most elite teams of Chunyu Qiongbu and Bao Xinbu, followed by all the heroes of Qingyanzhou! For a time, the momentum was extremely huge!

The reason why Chun Yuqiong made such an arrangement was mainly because he saw that the city was extremely weak, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the Chengxi Alliance, was trying his best to besiege Zhuang Shaoyou's department, and Guan Hai and Sun Guan's department withdrew to the city, and they would also divide their troops to rescue. Therefore, as long as you concentrate on the elite and work hard, there is still a good chance of taking the east gate of Puyang, as long as you can make this contribution, the previous mistakes are enough to write off!

Different from Chun Yuqiong's purpose, Kong Ling of the Southern Route Coalition Army had other plans, responding to the call of the alliance leader, one of which was to drive Yuan Shu's 5,000 men and horses to death, and kill people with a knife, nothing more. As for Kong Ling's own 8,000 descendants, he didn't plan to have any more consumption anyway.

In Puyang City, with the issuance of Tian Feng's various military orders, it was also started at full speed, and the two thousand city defense troops originally subordinate to Qiao Mao were transferred to the west of the city to support Zhuang Shaoyou, and Sun Guan also left a brigade of troops to defend the city, with the ballista battalion, and it was not a big problem to resist the offensive of Kong Ling at the south gate.

As soon as Guan Hai's troops returned to the city, the coalition forces in the east of the city began to press up and prepare to attack the city, so in desperation, Guan Hai had to leave half of the men and horses to defend the city, and then personally led 5,000 men and horses to gallop lightly to aid Zhuang Shaoyou.

Puyang Taishou Qiao Mao and a cadre of civil officials led the whole city to publicize, and summoned the people to help defend the city, and at this moment Zhuang Shaoyou's accumulated prestige began to play a huge role.

Qiao Mao also raised her eyebrows, her heart was excited, this feeling of ascending and shouting, and responding from all directions was really refreshing! Soon thousands of people were recruited, and Qiao Mao opened the arsenal, issued weapons to those people, and then sent the city wall to help defend it.

The battlefield in the west of the city is like a huge meat grinder, repeatedly squeezing tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides, and dozens of people fall every minute and every second! The three ballista battalions and the fire crossbow battalion played a powerful suppressive role, first effectively striking at the charging stones of the Jizhou Iron Cavalry, and then began to suppress the steady stream of coalition soldiers and horses pouring out of the large battalion, killing and wounding their men and horses, weakening their morale, and slowing down their pace of joining the war group.

And Zhuang Shaoyou's military formation, with Zhuang Shaoyou's personal hand-to-hand combat, greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, Lejin pressed all the reserves, and after this intact new force joined, it effectively curbed the momentum of the coalition offensive, which can be said to have turned the tide of the tide!

However, as more and more coalition forces joined the warband, the ballista became less and less useful, and only the rocket ballista remained somewhat useful. At this moment, the thousands of men and horses left in the city and the city garrison also rushed to support, and joined the flank of the war group under the command of Tian Feng, and Zhuang Shaoyou's army array was finally able to resist the onslaught of the coalition army.

However, as time passed, the enemy was outnumbered, and the soldiers fought bloodily for too long, and their physical strength gradually became exhausted, and the battle situation became more and more unfavorable.

Yuan Shao stood on the command car and watched this scene happily, constantly issuing various orders, and constantly issuing various reward announcements to boost the morale of the soldiers.

However, at this critical moment, Sun Guan's reinforcements arrived!

Sun Guan and the Third Division fought bloodily in the south of the city for two hours, although they rested for a while after that, they were still exhausted, and the rapid march came in a hurry, so their physical strength was also a little weak.

But it didn't matter, the black-handed brigade commander and the first brigade were holding back their strength, and they were so excited when they saw such a big scene for the first time, they rushed forward with a roar without waiting for Sun Guan's order.

Sun Guan scolded: "No organization, no discipline!" ”

Then he observed the battle situation, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy is not stupid, he knows how to raid from the flanks!" Brothers, the general is surrounded inside, go with Lao Tzu to save people! ”

"Whoa!"

Sun Guan's 5,000 men and horses joined the battle group, and there was also a brigade of elite troops, which suddenly reversed the unfavorable situation, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate again.

Yuan Shao on the command car was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded Kong Ling for being incompetent!

Not long after, the coalition army arrived near the city on the east road, and more than 4,000 soldiers on the head of the city were waiting with 4,000 people.

Looking at the large coalition army in front of him, under the reflection of the colorful glow on the horizon, even the regular army of the Guanhai Department was a little stunned! Those who have passed the excitement are even more unbearable, and some of them are so frightened that their legs and feet are weak, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

The experienced chief immediately stepped forward, kicked him to the ground, and then grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the head of the city, and drove his neck with his sword. It's a bit crude, but it's always worked.

A Shi Chang said with a grin: "Don't be unconvinced, when Lao Tzu first went to the battlefield, he was also charged forward by Shi Chang with a knife on his neck!" Boy, aren't you? What? You're still a chick? Real or fake? Well, after this battle, if neither of us is dead, Lao Tzu invites you to go to the Drunken Wind Building to solve the problem of you or Chick! ”

Shi Chang's words were not coarse, such a toss, the people suddenly relaxed a lot, although they were still a little timid, but at least they were able to act independently.

Under the command of the captain, the veterans of the ballista battalion quickly aimed and fired, of course, there was no need to aim at all, as long as they shot at a crowded place, it was like a string of sugar gourds, and the effect was good!

The person in charge of the command at the head of the city was Li Cheng, the deputy general of Guan Hai, the former deputy commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and he still had some brains in the war. Li Cheng observed the city and estimated that there were at least 50,000 or 60,000 coalition troops, and the more than 4,000 people at the head of the city could not hold it at all, so it was necessary to maximize the morale and combat effectiveness of the people!

Li Cheng's eyes rolled and he shouted: "Brothers, whether they are old people or newcomers, as long as we finish this battle, we will be brothers who have carried guns together, and we will be a family in the future!" Do you want to serve the general?! ”

Under the instigation of a few clever pro-soldiers, the people suddenly boiled, and immediately began to shout: "Yes! Yes! Yes! ~”

Li Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to shout: "My name is Li Cheng, and I am the deputy commander of the Fourth Infantry Division under the current general's account!" I, Li Cheng, am a rough man, I haven't read any books, but I just understand some truth, we people couldn't even eat enough before, Lao Tzu's family of nine was fucking starved to death, and Lao Tzu was the only one left! Now that life is better, there is no worry about food and clothing, and there is a daughter-in-law and son, all of this is the blessing of the general! Now these bitches in the city don't want us to continue to live a good life, what should we do?! ”

"Kill these bitches! Defend the general, defend Puyang! ”

Li Cheng is very glad that the agitation was successful!

The coalition forces outside the city were very puzzled, what are these people above crazy? Only a few people's faces have changed drastically, such as Chun Yuqiong, and then Bao Xin. Obviously, there are guards at the head of the city to boost morale, and the effect is significant! This battle is not easy to fight!

Chun Yuqiong immediately urged the soldiers to hurry up and attack the city!

Li Cheng stood at the head of the city, overlooking the defenders below, and gasped: The coalition army is going to fight hard! All the elites were sent in at the beginning! Fortunately, the city wall of Puyang is high enough, if it is an ordinary small city, it will be submerged in less than an hour!

"Someone! Inform Lord Joe and recruit some more people! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Li Cheng is very useful to the title of general, although his current military rank is still colonel, but after this battle, he will definitely be able to hang one more level!

At the door of the armament depot, Qiao Maozhi looked at the people who were queuing up to receive weapons there with pride, and was very happy in his heart: This is a great achievement, a great achievement! Hahaha! With such a big credit, how can you also be promoted to the third grade, right? That's a quasi-first-class civil official! In the future, we will accumulate some political achievements, and when the general wins the world, we will also be the founding of the country! What the fourth world and the third duke, it's all bullshit!

"Come on, these two thousand people will be sent to the south of the city and handed over to the third division!"

"Yes, sir!"
