Chapter 240: The Warlord (6)

Jianye City, Wang Tong almost effortlessly persuaded his cousin Wang Cang to take refuge under Liu Fan, counting Cai Mao's 50,000 water army, Jianye City's 100,000 defenders have gone to persuade Zhang Yun to be Wang Cang's personal shot, moving with affection, knowing with reason, Zhang Yun finally failed to block Wang Can's three-inch tongue, and took refuge in Liu Fan, just like that, Jianye City changed its course unconsciously and became Liu Fan's bag, and an important cornerstone of Liu Fan's warlord career was formed.

Liu Fan, who was reorganizing the army in Jian'an, received news from Wang Tong, and took Guo Jia and Zhu Mingyu overnight to lead a division to Jianye, compared with Jian'an, Jianye at this moment is more suitable for Liu Fan's development. All the military affairs of Jian'an were handed over to Li Jing, and with Li Jing's ability, it was more than enough to hold Jian'an City with two divisions in his hands. The city defense measures of Jian'an City have already begun to be built, arrow towers, horse rejection, moats, horse traps, etc., and even all the blacksmiths and carpenters in Jian'an City have been concentrated, making arrows and weapons, recruiting troops, and preparing to deal with Zhang Rang's attack.

Wu, a town in Yangzhou that is similar to Jian'an City, is located near the waterway of the canal, the land here is very fertile, and it is the grain producing area of Yangzhou after Shouchun and Yangzhou City, but now this ancient and quiet city has ushered in a war, and the town guard general Yan Hui and the city lord Tang Yao are sweating profusely in the city lord's mansion.

Su Lie led a large army to block the gate of Wu's city, Su Lie did not rush to attack, but practiced soldiers and horses outside the city gate every day, which seemed quite leisurely, and the soldiers in the city were in stark contrast to the outside of the city. After all, it is Yangzhou's garrison that has not fought several wars since its establishment, not to mention the quality of the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, and the empire is still martial. But powerful soldiers also need a qualified commander, Yan Baihu and Yan Hui are obviously not.

"Report, general, urgent military situation!" Su Lie sat in the big tent and frowned, not that he didn't want to attack Wu, firstly, he lacked siege equipment, and secondly, the soldiers under his command were also the city defense troops of Tiger Prison Pass, which had not fought for many years, and Liu Fan did not ask Su Lie when to capture Wucheng. Su Lie also blocked Wu Cheng and trained soldiers and horses outside the city to give the other party and spiritual shock, and at the same time, the time to attack Wu had not yet come.

Su Lie turned out the military situation in the hands of the herald. After opening it, his brows gradually stretched, and the biggest stone in Su Lie's heart was finally unraveled. Jianye City has been taken, and the time has come to attack Wucheng, even if there are no large-scale siege equipment, the ladder that the army has been rushing for days is enough for Su Lie to take Wucheng.

"Someone. Beat the drums and count the troops, and prepare to attack Wucheng!" Su Lie fought, picked up the Nine Dragons Fang Tian Painting Halberd from the weapon rack beside him, and walked out majestically. The drums of the camp were soon sounding in full swing. The soldiers who were training rushed to the school grounds, and the earth-shattering drums also announced the beginning of the war.

Su Lie held the Nine Dragons Fang Tian Painting Halberd and fought on the point platform. Behind him were three adjutant generals, and 30,000 soldiers were quickly assembled. Su Lie quietly looked at the soldiers in the audience, and all the people were waiting quietly, waiting for Su Lie's orders. The soldiers at the head of the city were crowded, each nervously holding the weapon in their hands, and the soldiers and horses were gathered in the front camp with a nervous face.

"Today, it will be your first battle, but it's not your zuihou battle!" Su Lie's resolute faceplate, the bright silver armor refracted a dazzling light in the sun, and the Nine Dragons Fangtian Painting Halberd in his hand exuded a strong murderous aura: "Some of you have followed me to participate in the battle against Jian'an, but I want to tell you that it was not a war, that time was just a surprise attack, this time we must defeat the enemy in the open!"

"I am the commander of your people, I will lead you to attack, attack and attack, defeat more enemies, win more honors, maybe many of you will die, but what I want to tell you is death, everyone will have it, look at you and die. Now that the dynasty has been seized by traitors, we have been forced to flee our hometowns, our hometowns, and our wives have been separated, what are we for? So that one day we can fight back to our hometowns and return to our hometowns with honor! Let this Wucheng become the first step in our conquest of the world!"

Su Liezhan looked coldly at the 30,000 people in front of him on the point platform, none of them were elite, although the defenders in Wucheng were also not elite, but they had a geographical advantage after all. If you want to capture Wucheng, you must mobilize the courage of these soldiers to fight, a soulless army can never win a battle, they don't know why they are fighting.

"I will take the lead in the charge, let's go together to win the victory that belongs to us, brothers for the hometown, for the empire! kill, kill, kill!" Su Lie raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and roared loudly.

"Kill, kill, kill!" These soldiers are not elite, but everyone is hot-blooded, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Li Jing deliberately placed many children of the Liu family and the Xia family in Su Lie's army when selecting troops, everyone knew why they would leave their hometown, Su Lie's encouragement made their morale high, and the anger in their hearts was all stimulated, and the weapons always slammed into the ground.

Knock knock, earth-shattering drums, Su Lie led the army slowly towards Wucheng, Yan Hui, who was guarding the city, had already left sweat on his forehead, and the heavy murderous aura of Su Lie's army had already frightened this person who had never experienced war and relied on nepotism. Su Lie's army marched neatly, shouting slogans, carrying a simple ladder and killing Wu Cheng step by step, the black oppressive crowd, and the murderous aura in the sky made the defenders at the head of the city holding their weapons tremble.

"Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!" Yan Hui couldn't stand it anymore, if Su Lie's army didn't take a step forward, it would make Yan Hui's nerves thicker by two points, and he couldn't wait for Yan Hui to urge his soldiers to release the arrows desperately.

Whoosh, thousands of soldiers on the head of the city loosened the tightly held strings at the same time, although the rain of arrows in the sky looked very imposing, but unfortunately there was still a distance of nearly twenty steps from Su Lie's army, and the strength of the bow and arrow was seriously insufficient, many arrows had been blown down by the wind halfway and had no lethality at all.

The corners of Su Lie's mouth smiled. It seems that he still overestimated the defenders of Wu City, and if he knew that Wu Cheng's army was so vulnerable, he would not have waited until now to attack. Su Lie sat on the war horse and slowly raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and the drummer on the four carriages behind immediately shook the drumstick as thick as a baby's arm. The sound of the huge war drums soon filled the entire heaven and earth with a whistling sound.

"Kill!" The soldiers who received the order to attack threw off their pace and frantically slaughtered towards the city, Su Lie took the lead, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand quickly formed an impermeable wall in Su Lie's hands, and all the bows and arrows shot at Su Lie were like weak ropes being broken by Su Lie's.

The shield in the hands of the soldier who rushed to the front was followed by his comrades carrying the ladder, there was no boarding car, no ramming cone, only a simple ladder. Yan Hui was completely panicked. Desperately urging his soldiers to release arrows, arrows rained down, stones were like raindrops, and soldiers fell to the ground weakly with a muffled snort. The soldiers who followed in the rear immediately took the positions of their comrades and continued to charge.

"Shoot the arrows. Hurry up and release the arrow!" Yan Hui held the war knife in his hand, and shouted hoarsely to the soldiers beside him: "Stones, stones, rolling wood, you wastes quickly smash down!"
