"General! Yuan's army besieged the city. ”

Shouchun, the council room, Buqi ran to report the news.

"Oh, go check it out!"

Cao Xin led the people to the city.

I saw the banner outside Shouchun City, spears like a forest, a sea of people, looking from a distance, there were more than 200 infantry cavalry bow and arrow phalanx, about 20,000 or 30,000 horses, the formation was not smaller than that of the new wild city in those years.

After the arrival of the Yuan army, they no longer engaged in any shouting and demonstrations, and directly divided the troops into three routes, and set up a camp in front of the east, west, and south city gates, leaving only the north gate facing the Huai River, trying to force Cao Xin and the Langya army out of the city.

"General, give the last general five hundred Langya infantry, and the last general will be sure to eat one side."

Yu Poison pointed to the military formation outside the city and said.

"General, the last general will also go, the last general's bow battalion has not fought for a long time."

Li Dayan said.

"Don't worry, we are in the city, condescending, with terrain advantages, and we can save a lot of effort by waiting for them to attack and then fight."

"Yes, General!"

The two of them clenched their fists and retreated.

"Yang Junshou, how is the situation in the city?"

"General, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, if the enemy army is besieged for too long, I am afraid that there will be a civil uprising."

Yang Hong said hesitantly.

"Humph! I told them to retreat a long time ago, but they were unwilling to cooperate, and now this situation is also caused by them, Yang Junshou, you take someone to build the north gate, don't let the details be combined inside and outside. ”

"Yes, General!"

"Lao Dianzi Mountain, the situation in the city is handed over to the two of you to be responsible, the two of you lead the military guard battalion and five hundred garrisons to patrol the various squares in the city, during the siege of the city, once you find that someone gathers to make trouble, you will not be spared."

"Yes, General!"

Dian Wei and Bu Qi were ordered to leave.

"Lao Yu, you take 600 Langya infantry and 50000 garrisons to guard the south gate, and be sure to block the enemy's attack."

"Yes, General!"

Yu Poison was ordered to leave.

"Big Eye, you take the bow battalion and a thousand garrisons to guard the east gate, and be sure to block the enemy's attack."

"Yes, General!"

Li Dayan led people away and went to the city to set up defenses.

Cao Xin brought 600 Langya infantry to guard the west gate.

"Mr. Wenhe, is General Ben's arrangement still proper?"

Cao Xin asked.

Jia Xu shook his head, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "My subordinates have never seen such elite soldiers as the Langya infantry, nor have I seen a general guarding the city like the general, so it's hard to say." ”

"Hahaha, then you will look at it for a while, my Langya army is one enemy and one hundred, I have a thousand Langya army, and it is not difficult to destroy 30,000 Yuan army."

Cao Xin waved his big iron sword and said with a smile.

Woo woo woo~

Knock knock~

As soon as the head of the city was arranged, the Yuan army under the city launched a fierce siege on Shouchun, Zhang Xun commanded the soldiers to attack the southern section of the city wall, Kuai Yue commanded the soldiers to attack the eastern section of the city wall, and Zhou Yu commanded the soldiers to attack the western section of the city wall.

"Cao thief! Today I want to be ashamed. ”

"Siege!"

Zhou Yu drew his sword and shouted.

Kill Kill Kill!!

More than 10,000 Danyang elite soldiers carried ladders and pushed siege vehicles, and rushed to the city gate and city wall with a clamour.

"Steady! Steady! ”

When the enemy came under the city wall, Li Dayan shouted,

"Shoot!"

Whoosh~~

Ten thousand arrows were fired at the head of the city, raining down on the Yuan army under the city.

Li Dayan had more than 30 sharpshooters and 600 elite archers, and with only one volley, he shot most of the Yuan soldiers under the eastern city wall.

The rest of the soldiers did not dare to step forward, and Kuai Yue ordered the army to kill a few people, and the soldiers continued to attack the city.

In the western and southern sections, the garrison kept throwing stones at the city, knocking over some of the soldiers leaning against the wall.

Cao Xin and Yu Poison led the Langya infantry, in groups of twenty people, each group held a section of the city wall, and waited quietly at the head of the city until the enemy arrived.

When the Yuan army climbed up to the top of the city out of breath, the Langya infantry raised their sharp spears and stabbed the Yuan army on the wall, and the Yuan soldiers screamed and fell off the city wall.

Coming up one by one, coming up with ten and stabbing ten, the Langya infantry waited for work and guarded the city wall tightly.

The siege battle was fought from noon to evening, and Yuan Jun Mingjin collected his troops.

There were more than 2,000 corpses and more than 5,000 wounded soldiers under Shouchun City.

The garrison under Cao Xin in Shouchun City suffered hundreds of casualties, and the Langya army suffered more than 100 casualties.

The battle losses between the two sides were close to 10 to 1.

"Gong Jin, our army has too many casualties, there are only more than 18,000 soldiers left, and the morale is low, our army can't hold out for long."

Zhang Xun stood in front of the camp, looking at the wounded soldiers and corpses everywhere, and his face couldn't help but be clouded with sadness.

"Shouchun City is high and deep, the Langya infantry and archers are too ferocious, and it is difficult to break through Shouchun City without 50,000 horses."

Kuai Yue said with a frown.

Zhou Yu was wearing armor, clutching the hilt of his sword, and his face was extremely ugly.

Before the siege, there were only more than 1,000 Langya troops and more than 2,000 garrisons in the city, and there were hundreds of recruits in the garrison, and their combat effectiveness was average.

Zhou Yu, Zhang Xun, and Kuai Yue thought that with 25,000 men, almost ten times the enemy's soldiers and horses, they would be able to easily break through Shouchun and strangle Cao Thief and Langya's army in the city.

But the ferocity of Langya's army is far beyond his imagination.

"General Zhang, can you ask Duke Yuan to send another 10,000 horses over?"

Zhou Yu frowned and asked.

"Gong Jin, there are less than 10,000 horses left in Danyang County, and most of them are recruits, so there is really no one to send."

Zhang Xun said hesitantly.

The reason for the hesitation was because Yuan Shu wanted to leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Sun Ce in the south, and now Sun Ce had occupied several counties in Jiangdong and was eyeing Danyang, although the two sides were cooperating, they were also wary of each other.

"General Zhang, General Qiao's side may have his hands free?"

Kuai Yue asked, rubbing his beard.

"I'm afraid it can't, Cao Thief sent Chen Lan Liao Hua to lead 4,000 soldiers and horses to support Lu'an, Yu Ban soldiers and horses 10,000, the two sides are in a stalemate, once General Qiao leads the army to retreat, Yu Ban will lead troops to help Shouchun, and it will be more difficult for our army to defeat Cao Thief."

Zhang Xun responded.

Zhou Yu's face became even worse when he heard this.

He brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight Shouchun, three times that of Cao Xin, and also carried a secret weapon to restrain Langya's cavalry.

I thought that I could eliminate Langya Cavalry in Shouchun, kill Cao Xin, and take revenge, but I didn't want to be defeated outside the city for a while, and then under the city wall, and lose troops one after another, which made him feel a kind of shame and anger in his heart.

"Gong Jin, Mr. Xenodu, Cao thief is fierce, why don't you withdraw your troops first, and then make plans in the future?"

Zhang Xun proposed.

"Can't be withdrawn!"

Zhou Yu and Kuai Yue said almost at the same time.

"Now that Cao Thief only has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, it is a good time to destroy him, once he misses it, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to defeat Cao Xin in the future."

Kuai Yue sighed.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, "What Mr. Yidu said is very true, Cao Jun has not been in Huainan for a long time, his foothold is not stable, and his troops are not strong, in this unfavorable situation, he can still reach a tie with our side, if he is taught to gain a firm foothold in Huainan, Jianghuai is afraid that Cao Thief is the world." ”

"But you can't beat him, it's a pity to retreat, what can I do?"

Zhang Xun asked.

Zhou Yu and Kuai Yue looked at the towering city tower, and their hearts were very weak.

The two of them, one representing Jiangdong and the other representing Jingzhou, were ordered to come to Yuan Shu's aid to help Yuan's army defeat Cao Xin and Cao's army, and prevent Cao's army from gaining a foothold in Huainan and affecting the safety of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

But Cao Xin's soldiers and horses are too powerful, how can he win against him?

"Gong Jin, there is a message in the city."

A scribe walked in quickly and whispered a few words to the three of them.

"Oh? Really? ”

The eyes of the three of them lit up when they heard this, and their faces suddenly became excited.

"Zijing, could it be a strategy? Cao Ziyu is sinister and cunning, and his mind is treacherous, so we had better be careful. ”

Zhou Yu asked with excitement.

"Gong Jin, the Chen family, the Zhang family, and the Qin family used to be from Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and their families were killed by Cao Jun, and several families hated Cao Jun deeply, if they colluded with Cao Jun, they were afraid that they would be ruined and discredited, and there would be no place for them in the world."

The scribe was calm and authentic.

"Good, good! God-given opportunity, our army will win. ”

Kuai Yue laughed.

"Mr. Xenomorph, be quiet, don't make a noise until it's done."

"What Gong Jin said is extremely true!"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
