When the eastern sky revealed a touch of fish belly white, Wen Ping was covered in blood and entered the Shiyang City County Ya, and beside him was Zhang Liao, whose armor was also full of blood stains.

It took them all night to get here.

Yesterday evening, after Guan Yu's defenders retreated to the city wall, in the absence of arrows and supplies, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Liao Hua and other generals defended the city and prepared to fight again the next day.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao didn't give them a chance to breathe at all.

As a general, Zhang Liao thought that his army could wait for work and attack the city at night.

So, his flagship, the building ship, pressed up directly.

When the shadow, which was higher than the city wall of Shiyang City, which was one zhang high, approached the city wall, the soldiers defending the city were left with nothing but despair.

Guan Yu said: "Shiyang City is the gateway to Jiangxia, Xuande Gong has raised soldiers for six years, and today is the day of our righteous death!" ”

The soldiers defending the city lifted their spirits one after another and fought with Zhang Liaobu.

Zhang Liaobu took turns shooting arrows, and the soldiers attacked the city under the cover of arrows, and soon someone climbed to the top of the city, and was killed and retreated by Guan Ping.

Zhang Liao made a quick decision and ordered someone to directly lean the building boat to the city wall.

With a loud bang, the boat gang crashed into the city wall, breaking up a circle of bamboo rafts from the Ministry of Literature.

Wen Ping jumped up from the water, climbed onto the boat, and did not salute Zhang Liao, but turned around and climbed directly to the city wall.

Zhang Liao saw that this fierce general with a terrible wound on his back could still fight, and he was also aroused by blood, and he kept shooting arrows to cover Wen Ping.

Wen Ping climbed the tower several times, and was forced to jump back into the water several times.

The water of the Zhuan River, which has already been dyed red, is like a dye vat.

Under such an offensive, the defenders still held out for a full hour, and when Zhang He's troops arrived at the junction of Hanshui and Zhuanshui, and the new force joined the battlefield, the defenders had a tendency to be unable to hold on.

Zhang He did the same and pressed the boat to the city head on the other side of the Han River.

The two armies attacked the city from two directions, and Guan Yu's army could not take care of each other.

If it was an ordinary general, he would have been helpless, but Guan Yu was different.

He ordered his troops to retreat in an orderly manner, set fire to the timber at the head of the city on the way to retreat, and then used the streets and houses in the city as a basis to engage the enemy in street battles.

Zhang Liao and Wen Ping entered the city, only to find that the streets in the city had already been erected to reject horses and mounds, and all kinds of fortifications had been built.

Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, rode a red rabbit horse, stood behind the fortifications, and looked at the two of them coldly.

Zhang Liao said: "Guan Yunchang is worthy of being a famous general in the world, and he is by no means only brave. This decisive abandonment of the city wall has four benefits. The first is to let me lose the advantage of using the building ship as a ladder. Second, he had done a good job of defending the city, narrowing the defensive area, and breaking the advantage of our army in flanking from both sides, and third, magnifying the disadvantage of our army's horses not getting on the ship and unable to launch a charge. The most important thing is that when they retreated, they set fire to the head of the city, and our army was very conspicuous in the night, but they were in the shadows, taking the lead. ”

Wen Ping nodded, admiring Guan Yu in his heart, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Liaogao, who was the head of the analysis.

When Cao Cao was surrendered, among the generals in Jingzhou, Wen Ping was the last to arrive, and he had seen Zhang Liao at that time.

When he was released as Jiangxia Taishou and ordered to be the vanguard to attack Shiyang City, he looked forward to the arrival of Zhang Liao and other Seventh Armies day and night.

However, by the time the Seventh Army arrived, most of the soldiers under his command had already died, and he was really a loser and a loser.

He thought for a moment and said, "Just abandon the city wall, and there is no way out." Since Guan Yunchang is determined to die, General Zhang, please lend me a horse, and I will be the first to charge into battle! ”

Zhang Liao glanced at him and said, "Wen Taishou, I am also a general." ”

He didn't say more, but pressed his arm down, and suddenly, the hula soldier rushed forward.

In a fierce battle here, Zhang He's troops also killed the city wall, and they also encountered a street fighting offensive, Guan Ping and Liao Hua led the army to resist desperately.

This killing, another whole hour.

The corpses of the soldiers were piled up outside the horse, and every thorn of the horse was stained with blood.

Guan Yu still crossed his sword immediately after rejecting the horse, and for an hour, he didn't break through his first line of defense.

Wen Ping led the charge for the seventh time, but was killed and retreated, and the war knives were all cut to the edges.

He wiped the blood from his face and asked, "How?" ”

Zhang Liao roughly estimated that from the time he landed in the city to the present, almost half of the soldiers he brought by boat had been lost, at least a thousand people had died, and five or six hundred had lost their combat strength.

However, the morale of the other side is still high, and I don't know what they are fighting for.

Could it be that the four words "Kuang Fu Han Room" really have such magic?

Zhang Liao, who was born in a remote area of Bingzhou, did not understand these obsessions, he only knew that if he was loyal to the lord, he should do his best.

"Go on!"

Zhang Liao waved his arm, and the eighth wave of charge began.

This time, they were halfway through when they heard shouts from the street next to them.

It turned out that at this hour, the road recruitment department also rushed to the battlefield, as a general who made a mistake, his troops held their breath, and as soon as they landed in the city, they directly killed the street fighting position.

With 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers, Biqiu Jian bypassed several main battlefields and attacked from Guanping, the most exhausted of the defenders.

Biqiu Jian's troops were all trained by him, and the elite was abnormal, some people paved the way with arrows, and some people charged ahead, and they even broke through the fortifications guarded by Guan Ping in one charge.

It was from this moment that the defenders of the city were really defeated.

Liao Hua saw that the street next door was lost, so he had to withdraw his troops, saved Guan Ping on the way to retreat, and fled out of the city from the north gate.

Guan Yu is difficult to support alone, although his side has not been lost, but if the next door is lost, he can copy his back road.

So he simply rode a horse and reflexively entered the formation of Zhang Liao and Wen Ping.

Because Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Lu Zhao all came by boat, all of them were infantry without horses, and Guan Yu was like a wolf entering a flock, and the gods generally killed each other from the army and went to the west gate.

When the enemy army was almost completely annihilated, Wen Ping was the first to enter Shiyang County.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw several people hanging from the county office, both men and women, who looked like they had just died.

Zhang Liao also followed up, frowning and said, "Who is this?" ”

Wen Ping, who was a general in Jingzhou himself, sighed and said: "It's Shiyang County Ling Gaole, it seems that he is still Huang Zu's in-laws, maybe he saw that Shiyang couldn't hold it, and the whole family committed suicide." ”

Zhang Liao was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Burial." ”

The two walked out of the county office, but saw that the streets were also full of blood, and the corpses of the defenders and attackers of Shiyang were lying on every street corner, and the entire Shiyang City was like a purgatory on earth.

Zhang Liao only glanced at it, and then ordered the soldiers to pull Wen Ping to rest, while he lowered his head and got on his horse and went to meet Zhang He and Lu Zhao.

Wen Ping felt that he had lost his strength all over his body, and he lay down directly at the door of the county office, unwilling to move a step.

Another hour later, Zhao Yan came to Shiyang City, and he gathered several generals together and counted the gains and losses.

In this battle, 3,000 people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs attacked the city, more than 1,800 people were killed, more than 900 people were injured, some of the wounded were rescued after falling into the water, some were rescued on bamboo rafts, and more than 200 people were missing, probably buried at the bottom of the river.

Then there was Zhang Liaobu, who killed more than 2,100 people and injured more than 600 people. At that time, there were about 3,500 troops attacking the city on various ships, but now only 800 remain.

Zhang Hebu and Lu Zhao came late, and fewer people died, Zhang He's also 1,100 people died, and Lu Zhao died 300 people.

However, the statistics of corpses found that Guan Yu's defenders only had more than a thousand corpses in total!

Zhang Liao said miserably: "Such a victory is really not something to be proud of. ”

Zhang He nodded and agreed: "A thousand defenders have fought such a record, this Guan Yunchang is really a god." ”

Zhao Yan said: "The generals don't have to be arrogant, this is our first battle, and there are two counties in the future, so you can go straight to Xiakou, and in the future, the prime minister will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you are all meritorious!" ”

So the meritorious deeds were announced, Zhang Liaobu was the first to climb the city wall, and the Lu Zhao Department was the first to attack the street, each of them recorded the attack, and the rest were recorded according to the number of kills and injuries of each department.

Zhao Yan was surprised to see Biqiu Jian's name again, and thought that Cao Wu had recommended this person, and couldn't help but feel a little more concerned.

When everything was counted, it was already noon, and he passed the battle report to the Seventh Army, and then wrote it and sent it to Cao Cao's main force.

At this time, the marching speed of Cao Cao's main force was still not fast, but he had already walked half the distance after marching for several days, and in half the time, he could go down the river to Xiakou City and join Zhao Yan's Seventh Army.

And the news that came at the same time as Shiyang Chengpo, as well as the news that the scouts on the river finally discovered the traces of the Jiangdong Army scouts.
