"Break the city!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Those who capture Yuan Ke will have a bounty of 100,000 taels!"

"Seal the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

As expected, the next day, in the early morning, in the middle of the Jianmen Pass, many soldiers of Yuan Ke's army were still eating, and the sound of large-scale soldiers and horses marching came from outside the south gate.

“......”

Hearing this, Yuan Ke put down the bowl in his hand.

"The enemy is coming."

"It's time for us to do it, too."

"Brothers, go, let's kill."

He picked up the Heavenly Dragon Broken City Halberd inserted in the ground and strode towards the south gate.

Now, they are also fully prepared for battle, and the mountains and rocks and sassalwood are extremely well prepared.

He also prepared the oil for kerosene.

As soon as he came to the city tower, he found that Jing Tianming was supervising the battle, and Yi Rong, the general of the Xuanwu battalion, was also there.

It's just that to Ye Chen's surprise, Fa Zheng is also there.

"Meet the Lord!"

The three of them saluted Yuan Ke.

"Alright, excuse me!"

"What's the situation? Who is the vanguard of the Yizhou Army? ”

Yuan Ke asked.

"Lord, I have just made a detailed investigation, and the vanguard is Simba, the fierce general of the Dongzhou Army."

"This man is also a barbarian."

"Because of his bravery and strength, Zhang Ren included him in the Dongzhou Army."

"Pioneer Simba!"

"20,000 military horses, the deputy is Li Hui, Li Hui is a famous man in Yizhou, good at strategy, and is an extremely difficult person."

Fa Zheng said.

"Li Hui!"

When Yuan Ke heard this, his brain began to think about this person's information.

This person is a famous courtier of the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, the Marquis of Hanxing Ting, the general of Anhan, and has the merit of pacifying the rebellion in the south of Bashu.

is also an extremely powerful Shu Han general.

"Okay, you just have to do it."

He did not interfere with Jing Tianming to preside over the battle to defend the city.

"No!"

Jing Tianming and Yi Rong received the order.

"Archer!"

"Ready!"

After that, the Yizhou army frantically attacked the south gate, Simba and Li Hui were on the front line, personally presiding over military affairs, responsible for supervising the battle, Zhang Ren's tactics were very simple and very rough, but they had to use the tactics of the sea of people to exhaust the strength of Yuan Ke's army.

Only after the soldiers and horses of Yuan Ke's army were exhausted, it was also the time for them to break through the Sword Gate Pass and intercept and kill Yuan Ke.

Both sides continued to attack and kill for half a day, and suffered heavy casualties.

Yuan Ke's army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, while the Yizhou army had 8,000 or 9,000 men.

"Woo-"

Near evening, the Yizhou army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and they returned to the camp.

The battle loss of 1:8 is already extremely good in the defense of the city.

It's just that Yuan Ke is faintly uneasy.

"Lord!"

While eating, Cao Xiong strode over.

"I just received information that Guangyuan has something."

"What's the matter?"

Yuan Ke asked.

"Mrs. Lihua's family came to pick her up, and the two sides clashed in the county office, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Mrs. scolded them."

"I have sent someone to check, and Mrs. should be the only daughter of Yang Xiong, the contemporary head of the Hongnong Yang family."

Cao Xiong raised his hand to report.

"Hongnong Yang?"

When Yuan Ke heard this, he was also quite surprised.

He really didn't expect that Yang Lihua would be a gate lady.

Hongnong Yang's!

It's another powerful family of gatekeepers.

Yuan Ke remembered that during the Three Kingdoms, there was a Hongjia Yang who was also a popular figure, especially Yang Xiu.

This son is respectful and studious, erudite and talented, just and the crown ceremony, he entered the filial piety, served as Cao Cao's main book, deeply trusted by Cao Cao, and later because Yang Xiu participated in the dispute between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao was afraid that Yang Xiu was the nephew of the Yuan family in Runan, so he found a reason to kill him.

"Yes!"

"Lord, just now we made a detailed report, this son came to find his wife is the left envoy of the Yang family's [poisonous bee] organization, this woman is an extremely powerful dead soldier, extremely difficult, do you think we should send someone to take them all?"

Cao Xiong asked.

"No—"

"Don't mess with this."

"Leave it all to Madame."

Yuan Ke believes that Yang Lihua can handle this matter.

For today's plan, what he wants to do is to extinguish the hundreds of thousands of Yizhou troops outside the city, and then enter Yizhou and dominate Bashu.

It's just that now it seems that this battle is not so easy.

Everything needs to be considered in the long run.

The veteran Zhang Ren is a strong opponent, and from today's battle situation, it can be seen that the other party is an old and heavy-bearing general, who is particularly stable and steady in every battle, and such generals are sometimes difficult to deal with.

Because they rarely make mistakes.

In the Yizhou camp, after nightfall, a large number of military horses began to take advantage of the night to quietly attack the city, the south gate is relatively open, and the formation that can be opened is also large.

Shout!

Shout!

Shout!

A rain of arrows flew over.

Many soldiers of Yuan Ke's army guarding the city who were in charge of guarding were shot and killed.

"The enemy is attacking the city!"

Yuan Ke, who was about to rest just now, heard this, and immediately walked out of the barracks in armor.

At this time, Jing Tianming also gathered men and began to defend, but as soon as they rushed to the city wall, they found that the people who came from the Yizhou army had all retreated.

"What?"

"Ran!"

When Yuan Ke also came to the city tower, looking at the Yizhou army that was receding like a tide, his previous uneasiness was finally fulfilled.

The veteran Zhang Ren is too treacherous.

This is clearly a plan to harass the tired enemy!

Although it is an old-fashioned trick, it is now the most practical.

Because Yuan Ke has too few soldiers and horses.

"Jing Tianming, divide our army into two teams and take turns respectively, and we must ensure that half of our soldiers can rest well."

A poisonous ploy wiped out half of his men.

It's poisonous!

At this time, Yuan Ke clearly found that the ancient generals did not have a simple role.

"Yes!"

Jing Tianming also understands that this is the best way at the moment.

He and Yi Rong discussed.

The two took turns defending the city.

After everything was compromised, half of Yuan Ke's army was able to rest.

Every hour, the Yizhou army came to attack, causing the armies in the Jianmen Pass to not rest well and their morale was low, which made Yuan Ke extremely mad, but he couldn't do anything.

Everything is pinned on the hope that Di Qing's reinforcements will come tomorrow, and this situation can be properly resolved.

They had to be proactive.

"Zhang Ren, let's see."

After that, Yuan Kexuan was about to go to rest.

He also needs to recharge his energy and regain his strength.

After a night of silence, after more than a dozen attacks, Yuan Kejun lost more than 1,000 people.

"Zhang Ren's old thief is really hateful!"

Yuan Ke couldn't help but scold his mother loudly when he heard the news.

I secretly scolded this old puppet in my heart for being too treacherous.

"The enemy is coming."

Not again.

The frequency of the Yizhou army's attack did not change, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized each time, and the battle damage at this time fell to 1:5, because the trees and rocks in the city were thrown away.

At this point, there weren't even many arrows.

Yuan Kejun was already in a predicament.

Charging again and again, Yuan Ke's army continued to increase casualties.

It's a terrible situation.

The battle lasted for two more hours, and more than 2,000 people were lost.

"Report!"

"Lord, the Yizhou army has pushed the city car."

"They have three boarding cars."

"Behind the boarding car are dense soldiers and horses."

"It's going to be a general attack."

On the city walls, an alarm sounded.

"What? Is that bad? ”

When Yuan Ke heard this, his color changed.

Total Attack!

Oh my God, they don't have many soldiers and horses to defend the city at this time.

There are less than four thousand, and the rest are tired divisions.

This battle is at stake!

"Lord, it's better for our army to withdraw to Guangyuan, and when the reinforcements from Di Shuai and General Cheng come, we will attack the city again."

Fa Zheng is for Yuan Ke's safety.

Today, the Yizhou army outside also has 90,000 soldiers and horses.

It's hard for them to get by.

Once the Yizhou army is killed, it will be difficult for them to get out, and at that time, it will be extremely difficult for Yuan Ke to escape.

Yuan Ke's safety is related to the overall situation and cannot be missed.

Everything is as Yuan Ke said, if you lose this battle, you can make a comeback, but if Yuan Ke has a bad pool, then it will be a big trouble.

Yuan Ke is the Lord after all.

His security represents the interests of too many people.

"Fazheng, what are you talking about?"

"Someone!"

"Pass on the military order of the marshal, and those who speak lightly to withdraw their troops will be killed!"

"Ben Shuai and Jianmen Pass live and die together."

"Fight to the death!"

Yuan Ke heard this and said sharply.

He understands that he can't withdraw from the army no matter what, and once he retreats, his previous efforts will be in vain, and it will also disrupt his overall plan to attack Shu.

This battle cannot be retreated.

"The minister is guilty!"

When Fa Zheng heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and confessed his mistake to Yuan Ke.

"Cao Xiong, you will be the military judge!"

Yuan Ke said.

"Yes!"

Cao Xiong spoke.

"Swear to live and die with the Sword Gate!"
