Seven days later, early in the morning.

Standing at the head of the north city, Chen Chao stood quietly with his sword, his eyes were deep, and a layer of small water beads appeared on the surface of his armor.

Looking up, the north bank of the Yonghe River gathered dense bandits, burying pots on the spot, boiling water for cooking, white smoke curling, scattered under the gray-white sky.

Looking further away, on the north bank of the Yonghe River, looking at each other across the bank, three phalanxes composed of soldiers of the Qin army were waiting for each other.

On the high slope, riding on horseback, the Mengchang singer in silver armor was holding a telescope given to her by Chen Chao and was looking in the direction of the city.

Chen Chao raised his hand lightly and waved, and his every move was watched by Meng Changge.

A moment later, she waved her hand as well.

"Wave the flag and tell the Qin army to evacuate the riverbank in an hour, this order is urgent!" Chen Chao said to the herald beside him.

Today, flooded bandits!

Chen Chao didn't want to feed the Dragon King with thousands of Qin troops along with the bandits.

In any case, everyone is also a friendly army.

Although due to the relationship between the two countries, Meng Changge could not directly lead troops to participate in the war and rush to the aid of Yongguan.

But these days, the Qin army was stationed on the north bank of the Yong River, which put huge pressure on the bandits, and Yao Wu did not hesitate to send several battalions, totaling 20,000 horses, to guard against the Qin army.

In addition, Xu Biao led his men and horses to provoke at the North City Gate every day, and sometimes rushed out of the city, the bandits thought that the Yongguan defenders wanted to break through in this place and flee into the territory of Qin, so a large number of bandit troops were stationed on the north bank for a while.

The heralds stood on the city wall and waved their flags, naturally playing the Qin State flag, telling them to withdraw to the Sifeng Gate on time after an hour!

When the Qin army herald told Meng Changge the news, Meng Changge frowned and looked confused.

But still respond with the flag, and the Qin army will do it!

"General, somehow, the bandits' siege crossbow has not been repaired since it broke that day."

Li Sandao next to him, wearing light armor, stretched out his hand and pointed to the siege crossbow position on the side of the bandit camp and said.

There, the bandits held whips in their hands, drove dozens of middle-aged men who looked like craftsmen, and rushed to repair the siege ballista, which lasted for several days, but the ballista has not been repaired, so the bandits also killed two craftsmen to vent their anger.

After listening to Li San's words, Chen Chao nodded and said:

"If the conditions allow, all those craftsmen will be rescued, and I estimate that these large siege ballistas are made by them."

"If we have their help, we have siege ballistas in our hands, and we can fight back!"

"Shogun Takami!"

Li Sandao nodded and arched his hand slightly.

The two chatted a few more words, and the personal guard stepped forward and said, "General, Captain Xu, they are ready 1"

Chen Chao paused, turned a few steps, and looked into the city.

In the open space behind the city gate, the two thousand soldiers of the sword and shield battalion were fully armed, and most of the current weapons and equipment in the city were given to them, each soldier carried a shield in his hand, an iron spear, and two short knives pinned to his waist behind him.

Without waiting for Chen Chao on the city wall to speak, Xu Biao, who was in the lead, raised his head and showed a simple smile.

He clenched his fists and hammered his chest hard, making a dull sound:

"General, give the order, the Sword and Shield Battalion will definitely complete the task!"

Looking at this big captain, Chen Chao's heart suddenly swelled with bitterness.

The flooding bandit plan, which is the only move that needs to be risked, requires Xu Biao to take the sword and shield battalion out of Yongguan, charge the defense line set up by the bandits on the north bank head-on, put pressure on the bandits' defense line, and attract bandits from other directions to come and support.

At that time, the North City Gate will gather more than seventy percent of the bandit army!

The soldiers of the 2,000 Sword and Shield Battalion will be encircled!

If they don't have time to retreat to the city, they will be swept into the river like bandits, and their fate is unknown.

"General, give the order!"

The two thousand soldiers of the Sword and Shield Battalion had no fear on their faces, and looked up at the Chen Dynasty on the city wall.

Chen Chao pursed his lips and raised his hand:

"Let's go!"

Knock knock!

At the head of the city, drums sounded.

It's the drumbeat of the attack, and it's like the drumbeat of the end!

The heavy gates of the city were closed and opened with a bang!

Two thousand soldiers of the Sword and Shield Battalion rushed out and formed a huge phalanx in front of the city!

As soon as the city gate opened, the bandit camp not far away instantly became alert.

The sound of trumpets and drums sounded rapidly, and early in the morning, the bandit camp was in chaos.

....

....

Bandit battalion.

Yao Wu was wearing animal skin boots and was having breakfast, when he suddenly heard the sound of drums, he immediately became alert, picked up the war knife in his hand and rushed out of the camp!

"What happened?"

The staff received the news and hurried over: "Dashuai, the group of shrunken turtles in Yongguan suddenly opened the north city gate, and thousands of defenders poured out, afraid to break out!"

Since he got the letter from Fengcheng and knew that there was not much food and grass in Yongguan City, Yao Wu ordered that the whole army should not attack the city, just surround it, and wait for the defenders in the city to run out of food and water, so they will naturally be defeated without a fight.

In the past few days, Yongguan guards have provoked many times, and even took off their pants to pee in front of tens of thousands of people, deliberately angering everyone and luring them to attack the city.

Yao Wu was not fooled!

As far as he could see, this was just the last struggle of the Yongguan defenders!

"Breakout? Which direction? ”

"Chengbei!"

Yao Wu asked again: "What is the situation on the Qin army's side?" ”

The staff replied with some bitterness: "When I came down, I saw that the Qin army on the other side had already begun to kick the bow and arrows, and the target was our position!" ”

After hearing this, Yao Wu's face was gloomy, and he scolded secretly, "What a Qin army, he actually colluded with the Yongguan defenders, and wanted to lure those defenders into the Qin realm!" ”

"Pass me the order! At all costs, stop the Yongguan defenders from crossing the river!"

"Yes!"

After Yao Wu gave the order, he quickly returned to the camp tent, put on his armor, turned on his horse outside the tent, and went to direct the battle in person.

When he arrived at the command position, he saw that in front of Yongguan City, thousands of Yongguan defenders had already set up a charging formation under the city.

Yao Wu licked his lips and pointed in front of his sword: "Bow and arrow ready!" ”

The two bow battalions on the left and right took aim with their bows at the same time, and the cold light of the arrows was bathed in the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, glowing with a cold and cold light.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The rain of arrows rose into the air, although it was not as powerful as the Qin army's arrow array, but with such a large number of arrows rising into the air, the sky darkened in an instant.

As Yao Wu expected, when the rain of arrows rose into the air, the soldiers on the other side raised their shields at the same time, completely hiding their bodies behind the huge shield.

After a rain of arrows, it did not cause much damage to the enemy troops.

"Shoot again!"

Yao Wu felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

After all, I have fought with the Yongguan defenders, and I know how powerful the other party is.

This Daji army is completely different from what I've seen before, and it should not be taken lightly.

Especially the young commander standing at the head of the city, always maintaining a cold face!

That's a truly formidable opponent!

When the rain of arrows was a little weaker, Xu Biao glanced at the soldiers behind him, and saw that they were all holding up anger, and laughed: "Brothers! Charge! ”

A huge formation of 2,000 people moved forward quickly.

While braving the rain of arrows, he pushed forward......

It was bound to chisel through the bandit front with two thousand flesh and blood......
