The sky became miserable, and rockets flew up the city wall from below, and the burning corpses and wooden shields rolled up puffs of black smoke, drifting over the city towers and blowing into the distance.

"Close the gap!"

"Gun array, push down the rebels who come up!"

A group of Longyang soldiers who had been ordered on the city wall rushed to support, and arrows flew from under the city, and the soldiers who had just rushed to the next section of the city wall with their comrades to rescue were suddenly hit by arrows and turned into a corpse.

In the lower section of the city wall, the soldiers with blades in their mouths jumped on the battlements, and then were stabbed down by a shot, dragging "Ah! He screamed and fell straight down the city wall from the side of the ladder.

In the sound of war drums, it was like the soldiers of the two battalions of Bingzhou and Xiliang of the ant colony, extending up the city wall along the cloud ladder.

The gun forest came around and stabbed down frantically, some people screamed and fell, and there were also spearmen who were hit by arrows, a veteran of the Xiliang Army grabbed the spear from the stabbing with the blood hole in his body and pulled people down the city wall, he climbed up the wall and took the steel knife in his mouth and jumped up, and pounced on the stabbing gun!

In a moment's gap, the Xiliang Army on the cloud ladder rushed up.

A captain who was defending this section of the wall came with a few personal soldiers to reinforce him, and just knocked over a Xiliang soldier, he was also slashed in the shoulder, the man had a dark face full of thick beards, raised his hand and stabbed him in the stomach and penetrated the tip of the knife from behind.

Zhou Cang took a few Xiliang soldiers to ferociously swing the ring head knife, and after killing several people one after another, he roared around.

"Stand firm!"

In the distance, Su Chen saw that there were thirty people in the Xiliang army standing at the head of the city, for the soldiers trained by Dong Zhuo, it can be described as fierce, the more they kill, the more fierce they are, compared to the side of the state, there are fewer casualties, even if the siege is such a tragic battle, they are trying to cooperate.

"The general sent by the imperial court, at this level?"

Both battalions can enter the city and fight like this, and there are still many generals on his side who have not yet come out. Su Chen frowned slightly: "Don't try to fight, just take the city." ”

The white-knuckle battle had been fighting on the city wall for a while, Wang Chengwu held on to the city tower, staring at the battle between the two sections of the city wall, listening to the various information fed back by the cavalry, and then issued orders one after another to adjust the two rebels who climbed to the top of the city.

As the commander of one county and five counties of the governor, there is no need to stand on the most dangerous city walls to command, but Wang Chengwu knows the ability of the soldiers and horses in these places, if others do not stand here and do not give morale boost, this rebel temptation may directly turn into a battle to capture the city.

There were also several fierce generals under his command, all of whom were sent out at this time to entangle the two rebel generals who had climbed the city wall, first to repel this temptation, and then to preach that the local soldiers who had experienced this battle could be of great use.

"But these rebels are really capable of fighting...... No wonder the imperial court has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xirong barbarians can't beat them. ”

The boiling cry of fighting sounded in his ears, Wang Chengwu looked at the battlefield where the two ends of the city wall were fighting, the two rebels standing on the city wall advanced with a ferocious attitude against the gun array, for the will of the rebels to fight, bravery, he felt a burst of shock, for a moment, he stretched out his hand and waved lightly in the air, "Pass my general order, let the soldiers of the second battalion take over the front battalion, the front battalion must not fall in love with the battle, and return to the city immediately after retreating!" ”

The herald shook the flag quickly and spread the order to both sides.

"We must hold on, at least until Your Majesty's reinforcements arrive." Wang Chengwu held the imperial sword in his hand and looked in other directions outside the city: "At this time, don't come to reinforcements from other counties, it will be troublesome to be surrounded and sent reinforcements!" ”

After that, the reserve team in the city, which had been ordered, quickly went up to the city wall, joined the front line, and replaced the previous comrades, and only then did someone shout: "Reinforcements are coming!" Kill everyone! ”

The morale of the surrounding Longyang soldiers was greatly boosted, and they also picked up the equipment of the city defense to counterattack more violently, and for a while they only faintly gained the upper hand.

The word 'Su' is under the big line.

Su Chen looked at the attack and defense on the city wall over there, and from the information collected by the scouts, he roughly obtained the number of archers, which he learned from the war book, combined with the proportion of archers in the Yan Kingdom, he could usually get the number of soldiers on the city wall at the moment.

Six hundred archers, the infantry shield should be one thousand seven, and the spears and spears are about two thousand.

Judging from the other three doors that Lu Bu explored, the other party deliberately covered it up, obviously not wanting Su Chen to know the truth.

Su Chen seemed to feel the sound of Longyang soldiers cheering from the city wall, so he called Ling Qi, "The temptation has passed, and the city head is ordered to collect the troops." ”

Dian Wei was a little puzzled: "I've hit the city, just let the other generals go up directly, or let me go, I haven't killed anyone for a long time." ”

"Today is just a test of their will to defend the city, as well as the soldiers' will to fight, and it is still very strong." Su Chen closed the book of soldiers, listened to the drums of the army, and in his eyes, the two generals Zhou Cang and Niu Gai were retreating from the cloud ladder, "And the other party wants to nail us here to buy time for Yanjing, although we can also take a detour to attack Yanjing directly, but it is always inappropriate if this city is not pulled out." ”

Su Chen's tone paused, and he got up from his chair: "Except for the four soldiers and horses in his city, there should be about 20,000 on standby, if he forcibly attacks any of them, he will have a respite to replace them back and forth, which is not good for the siege." ”

Now that he has entered Yanzhou in the east, he has gnawed hard bones in the first battle, so Beigongye will finally do one thing right, but it doesn't matter, the number of troops in the city is probably clear, and it will be good to kill it directly tomorrow.

"When the equipment is ready, the three doors will attack together, so that his troops will be difficult to support!"

"In addition, the emperor colluded with foreigners to enter the customs and kill the people of Rongzhou tied up on arrows and shot them into the city!"

Su Chen threw out his cloak, stuck his waist, looked at the two battalions of soldiers and horses who were retreating, and squinted his eyes: "After all, it's the best thing to attack the heart!" ”

……

"Retreat!" "The rebels are back!"

Seeing the rebels retreat like a tidal wave, the soldiers who were still alive in the city sat on the ground one by one exhausted, and after only fighting for more than an hour, they were so tired that they were paralyzed, and their hands holding knives were trembling.

Wang Chengwu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The rebels from Rongzhou arrived in Longyang, cut off their contact with the outside world, and the scouts sent were pursued by the opposing cavalry in the fields and mountains and forests.

The troops of the other counties are actually very small, and most of them were almost taken away by him, and the soldiers and horses of the counties in the city as reserves were not 20,000 as Su Chen calculated, but more than 30,000.

However, Wang Chengwu was not happy too early, that night, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded again, just at the head of the city soldiers reacted, in the dark night, a cavalry with torches galloped around the outside of the city, a moment, dense arrows flew through the night sky and fell into the city wall, some nailed to the soldiers, some fell on the city, and some directly crossed the city wall and fell into the city.

A night attack on a city is basically impossible.

Wang Chengwu's henchman lieutenant was running and shouting, and suddenly noticed that there was something strange about the arrows on the ground, he picked them up, only to find that there was a note tied to it, he opened it and looked at the handwriting on it, his face suddenly changed wildly, and immediately ordered to the left and right, no one was allowed to pick up arrows, and all the notes were confiscated.

With that, he turned around and descended the city wall, and galloped towards the Provisional Governor's Palace.

When he rushed into the mansion, Wang Chengwu had not yet fallen asleep, he was holding a candle in his hand, looking at the map of the city, deducing the layout of the city defense, and his henchman came in, took the note from the other party's hand and glanced at it.

His face suddenly showed solemnity.

"The enemy's strategy to attack the heart. Have all those arrows and notes been confiscated? ”

"Back to the governor, it has been confiscated."

"It is estimated that someone still sees it, you immediately withdraw the defense, let the third battalion go up, and the second battalion come down to rest!"

After his henchmen left, Wang Chengwu had no mind to deduce the city defense, and his face was gloomy and dripping water, the message conveyed by the note was that His Majesty asked the Qi family to open the door and let the barbarians enter Rongzhou to slaughter, for him who had already known in the imperial court, he had already expected it, so he didn't feel anything.

But for the soldiers in the city, as well as the people, it is a great irony, and I am afraid that the will to defend the city will be greatly affected.

He looked at the flickering candles.

"Your Majesty, the ministers can't hold it, but try to delay it for you for a day to repay the kindness of the encounter!"

The sky was getting brighter, Wang Chengwu was still patrolling the city tower, and there was nothing unusual about the soldiers and young men, which made him feel a little relaxed.

It's just that on this day, the rebels did not attack the city, and judging from the news of the inquiry, it seems that they are preparing siege equipment.

He knew a big war was coming.

……

In mid-May, Yanjing was still in a tense, anxious and noisy atmosphere.

Although the two battlefields in the east and south have stifled the rebels, the strongest rebels in Rongzhou on the west road have not yet made a big move, but they are only stationed in Longyang, and I heard that they have not moved for two days.

In addition, civil uprisings in the northwest and northeast of Yanzhou occurred from time to time, and the Shengnu people rebelled in the snow field, which had the intention of going south.

The court became restless, and the people of Yanjing were also full of gossip. The matter of the emperor colluding with foreigners to kill his own people once caused great trouble to Beigongye.

At this time, there was a controversy in the court to support the battlefields of the middle and west roads, and Qin Xiuwen, the secretary of the military department, asked the emperor to issue an order to let the counties around Longyang send reinforcements to form an angle with Longyang; There were also opposing ministers who stood up and accused Qin Xiuwen of influencing the situation on the battlefield without authorization, which was not conducive to the three overseers and commanders.

Listening to the civil and military nonsense of the Manchu Dynasty, Beigongye sat on the dragon chair and listened dizzily.

However, he knew very well in his heart that the first thing he had to do was to stabilize the slave army and prevent the news of the slave rebellion from outside from entering the army.

After that, the emperor issued an order to remove the main general of the slave army!

Outside the quarrelsome Yanjing, in the Rongzhou camp on the outskirts of Longyang County in the west, the hot wind in summer is whistling and blowing the flags.

Zhang Fei came here, he had not been on the battlefield yet, and he was the first to stand up in a hurry.

“…… When you get here, you have to give me a chance to fight with my second brother, don't fight if you come first, I and my second brother will fight at the north gate, and you can ...... the other two doors at will."

The big tent is dotted with a lot of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, full of the killing aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

As the main general, Su Chen sat on the handsome seat, and gradually developed a momentum of not being angry and self-assured, and the rows of seats on both sides were Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Gao Shun, Niu Gai, Zhou Cang, Li Dao and other generals, and even Qi Youhu, who surrendered to the pass, also had a seat at the end.

"Since General Zhang has spoken, I will naturally agree." Su Chen asked the other two battlefield news conveyed to be handed over to the generals below for circulation, and then continued to speak.

"The Marquis of Haixing and the Marquis of Changqi were stranded in the border of Yanzhou, and my west road has also stagnated, I'm afraid that those civil and military forces in the court think that we can't beat this Longyang County, then they are wrong, now the city defense is almost touched, and the equipment has been built in the past two days, next, generals, please!"

When he said this, he arched his hand, and the generals around him laughed, and after laughing, the eyes on their faces became fierce and terrifying.

On the first offering table in the tent, a wisp of smoke that others could not see floated out from Cao Cao's spiritual position and fell on Su Chen's shoulder.

Suddenly, a majestic shout rang out.

"The generals will obey!"

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of murderous eyes, and the moment he stood up, all the generals in the tent also stood up.

"You are all battle-hardened generals, which one is not attacking the city and pulling out the fortress like walking on the ground, don't be ridiculed by the monarchs and ministers of such a small country, a Longyang City, block our attack!"

Su Chen raised his hand, and Cao Cao's figure behind him also raised his hand, "Today, take this city with one go!" ”

"Yes!"

All the generals bowed their hands in unison, then turned around and strode out of the tent and went to their respective military columns.

"Huh!"

Cao Cao's figure floated out, stood beside Su Chen, and sighed twice: "This lineup, Lone really feels enjoyable." ”
