It's all here, and it's impossible to just retreat.

In addition to Murong Ke in Jicheng, there is also Murong Jun, the king of Yan, and tens of thousands of elites.

Breaking through this city, the Yan Kingdom exists in name only, not to mention retreating to Liaodong, it is useless to retreat to the ends of the earth.

Murong Ke's thoughts, Li Yue somewhat understood, and wanted to use Jicheng to consume Liang Guo's energy.

But the greatest value of this battle is not Liaodong, nor Youzhou, nor Murong Wei, but Murong Ke, but him Murong Ke, and with this alone, Li Yue will not be able to let him go.

Boom, boom, boom......

Heavy footsteps trampled on the ground.

The Lukou army was the elite when it was in Zhao, resisting the invasion of the Yan army in Middle-earth for nearly ten years, and invested under Li Yue's command, cutting the old and weak, and selecting the elite, as if reborn.

They were all sturdy, heavily armoured, with bones and axes in their right hands and shields in their left hands.

Lu Bo was already a general, taking the lead, walking in the forefront with his own soldiers, and rushing to the city wall with murderous spirit.

Rain of arrows, cannon, wood......

Shields, ladders, corpses......

Under the tall city walls, the Lukou army rushed forward without fear.

But the resistance of the Yan army in the city was extremely fierce, and those who were willing to follow Murong Ke were naturally dead.

The more difficult the moment, the stronger Murong Ke's appeal became.

He was not even afraid of death, he was naturally not afraid of the Black Cloud Army, and fought bravely one by one, even if the Lukou soldiers climbed the city wall, they would be held by the Yan army and fell down the city wall together.

Lu Bozao and his own soldiers were soon drowned in the swords and spears at the head of the city.

Looking at the past from Li Yue's point of view, a piece of flesh and blood was flying......

"Beat the drums!" Li Yue waved his hand.

The fierce war drums sounded, and the soldiers climbed the city wall without fear of death.

But it was soon devoured by the swords and spears of the city......

In less than half an hour, dozens of long ladders were smashed.

The Lukou army can not be said to be brave, but in this kind of bloody battle, only courage is not enough, and the Yan army is also not afraid of death and does not retreat.

The head of the city seemed to have turned into a flesh millstone, constantly grinding the flesh and blood of the soldiers on both sides.

Blood splattered on the walls, as if the city was bleeding too......

The city of Jicheng is not as tall as Xiangguo, but it is more dangerous than Xiangguo.

It is not difficult to imagine that behind this city wall, there must be an inner city and street fighting.

Lu Bo, who attacked the city, had already escaped from under the sword of Yan Jun under the cover of his personal guards, slid down the long ladder, and stumbled back to the camp.

His retreat meant that the siege failed.

The Yan army at the head of the city let out a hysterical cry, like a beast at the end of its rope.

"Death!"

Cries of hatred swept across the battlefield and soared into the sky.

Lu Bo knelt in front of Li Yue early, "The end, the end will be incompetent...... The Yan army was well defended......"

The surrounding dark clouds will cast a wave of gloating contempt.

is not on the same mountain, naturally not all the way, infighting is everywhere.

"It's not the general's fault, come here, heal quickly!" Li Yue could see clearly, Lu Bo had already tried his best.

And he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the Yan army has no way to retreat, unite as one, fight to the death, the resistance is too fierce, not to mention Lu Bo early, it is useless for Zhang Oyster, the enemy of ten thousand people.

"Your Highness." Lu Bo was already embarrassed and was helped down.

At this time, Jia Jian arched his hand and said: "Murong Ke is a famous general, the Yan army in the city has the will to die, our army will attack with heavy casualties, once there are too many casualties, or unforeseen things, now Youzhou is newly determined, the minister thinks that he should retreat, slow down his will to die, and attack again in a few months!" ”

A layer of corpses has been piled up under the city wall, and in a siege of the city, the Lukou army lost more than 700 people, and countless people were disabled.

If you continue to fight like this, the elite will be exhausted.

When Jicheng reaches this point, it will naturally be breached, but it depends on how much Li Yue is willing to pay and how many lives he takes to fill this hole.

Murong Ke's original intention was also this.

Good generals usually do their best to preserve their soldiers and national power.

Li Yue glanced at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng's gaze fell on the high "Murong" tooth flag at the head of the city, Murong Ke was determined to defend it, and he couldn't help it.

Just like Li Yue's stubborn defense of Liantai, it drained the morale and national strength of the Yan army.

"Wait two more days!" Li Yue was really unwilling.

Murong Ke and Murong Jun are in the city, as long as they cross this wall, the Liang Kingdom will go to glory.

However, Cui Jin's letter came the next day, and like Jia Jian, he was persuaded to retreat, "Murong Chui is in possession of half of the state, Tuoba Shiyi Jian is looking at Danhan Mountain, Huan Wen Chen Bing Wancheng, if the siege is not overcome, it will hurt the prestige of His Highness and damage the morale of our army, it is better to postpone it, and follow the old story of Wei Wu destroying the Yuan brothers, now it is spring ploughing, men should fight, women should be lucky, and the harm to the people is not shallow." When the ancient Ming monarch conquered, he did not turn his back on agriculture, may His Highness think about it! ”

There was a faint sense of reproach in the letter, Li Yue finished reading it, and smiled bitterly, it was not only the front-line soldiers who were affected, but also the people in the rear.

Then he summoned all the generals to discuss the matter of retiring the army.

"Retirement? If you don't kill Murong Jun and Murong Ke, how can you withdraw from the army? Zhang Oyster was the first to call out.

Liu Gaozhi moved his mouth, but he was still silent.

Everyone else had their own thoughts, but they didn't say them.

Li Yue said: "It's too late, the soldiers have been fighting since the late autumn of last year, it has been half a year, and the Yan army has been defeated, so there is no need to attack, give orders, and retreat!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Wang Meng gave up.

"Your Highness is wise." Jia Jian followed and said.

The two of them took the lead, and the other generals had nothing to say.

"Command." Lu Bo fought so miserably that others didn't dare to ask for war anymore, even if some people still wanted to fight, they could see that Li Yue had the intention of retreating.

After deciding to retire from the army, Li Yue himself felt a lot more relaxed.

The benefits of this battle were large enough.

Moreover, the strength of the Liang State did not completely annex the entire Yan State, and it had reached the limit to recover Xiangguo, Zhongshan, and Changshan, and eat half of Youzhou and half of the state.

Although Cui Jin's grain and grass came up, if he continued to fight like this, he would run out sooner or later, so it was better to leave some money and come back next time.

Dominating the world is by no means an overnight thing, you can fight, and you must have the courage to receive.

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao won a great victory, but it took seven years before and after the complete destruction of the Yuan clan.

After two days of rest, the army began to set up camp.

Li Yue set up an ambush, hoping that Murong Ke would send troops to counterattack, but this routine had already been used up, and Murong Ke did not succeed.

"After this battle, the Yan State has withered, if it is not expected by the ministers, there will be civil strife, and then our army will make a comeback, and capture Liaodong in one go." Wang Meng had a little unwillingness on his face.

"What Jing Luo said is true, we forced him too quickly, but we hated the same enemy, if the attack is delayed, the country will be disgraced." Li Yue turned over his horse, glanced at the "Murong" on the city's head banner, and said loudly: "Murong Xuangong, there will be a period later!" ”

The guards repeated loudly towards the city.

The defenders of the city shook for a while, as if they did not believe that the battle had ended.

After the childishness, Murong Ke's tall figure was revealed, and he looked at Li Yue quietly.

Hundreds of paces apart, Li Yue could only see a vague figure, waving his horsewhip, and the army slowly retreated south.

Jicheng gradually disappeared into the mountains......
