"Kill—"

The earth-shattering cry reappeared under the river. In the past seven or eight days, this kind www.biquge.info of shouting and killing has appeared at least once a day. The master of this wave of sound is more than 300,000 soldiers under Yuan Ding.

At the beginning of the Liangzhou rebellion, Yuan Qi quietly left Hejian with 10,000 days of return and 10,000 land return army to support the capital, Yuan Ding did not get the information in time, until the news came from Tanma, and Yuan Qi's banner appeared on the wall of the capital, Yuan Ding suddenly came to his senses, and figured out that Yuan Qi had already left the river, and those who stayed in the river were just some of the people under Yuan Qi's command.

Yuan Ding, who was full of regret, hurriedly dispatched troops and began to attack the river day and night. Staying in the river to preside over the battle, it was Zhuge Liang, he used extremely ingenious means, bluffing, confusing Yuan Ding, covering up the fact that Yuan Qi went to support the capital, but this kind of cover can not last long after all, when Yuan Ding found out, Zhuge Liang did not show the slightest panic, and issued a series of orders in an orderly manner, insisted on standing in the city and defending, relying on the city defense of Hejian City, and Yuan Ding's department started a war of attrition. Zhuge Liang's purpose is very clear, waiting for reinforcements, or waiting for Yuan Qi's return.

Between an attack and a defense, seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yuan Ding had to launch at least two strong attacks every day, but without exception, Zhuge Liang relied on the powerful terrain and strong city walls, and was desperately blocked outside the city between the rivers, and after a few days, he failed to take advantage of the slightest.

Looking at the soldiers of the Yuan army under the city as usual, Zhuge Liang issued an order to defend the city as usual, and ordered the defenders on each section of the city wall to prepare for battle. After these days of consumption, the crossbow of the red-clothed ballista has been used up, the follow-up crossbow has not been sent, and even the bow and crossbow in the quiver of the soldiers have bottomed out, in order to reduce consumption, Zhuge Liang has ordered to shorten the defense range for three consecutive days, and now he can only effectively defend the place within a radius of five zhang under the city of Hejian.

Yuan Jun also seemed to have figured out the embarrassing state of the Youzhou army, under the leadership of several generals. The three siege troops drove straight in, and came to the place five zhang away from the city of Hejian without any scruples, and then raised the round shield and other protective weapons, and rushed towards the city wall of Hejian at an accelerated speed.

Qi Tian walked quickly to Zhuge Liang's side and said in a low voice: "Military Master, it's not a way to go on like this, the second brother hasn't come back yet." Our army's crossbow arrows have run out again, Yuan's army is three times larger than ours, and there is a steady stream of follow-up troops, should we take the initiative to seek fighters and take Yuan Ding by surprise?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook the feather fan in his hand, and his free left hand gently patted the back of Qi Tian's hand. said with a smile: "General, don't worry, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, our army will be able to join forces inside and outside, and kill Yuan Ding by surprise, but before that, our army still needs to hold on to reduce the consumption of battle losses." ”

"But. Where are the reinforcements coming from?" Qi Tian asked in surprise. There are indeed a lot of soldiers in the five northern states, but the problem is that the five northern states have just been pacified, and a large amount of money and grain have been put into the construction of a new state, resulting in the treasury of Youzhou is not sufficient.

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously. But he didn't directly answer Qi Tian's question, pointed to the southeast with the feather fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "For the general, you know astronomy, geography, and military affairs, and the general can rest assured, within three days, reinforcements will come from the southeast." ”

"Southeast?" the doubts in Qi Tian's heart were not only lifted. Instead, it became more intense. The southeast was Sun Ce's territory, even if Sun Ce knew from the beginning that Yuan Ding colluded with Li Dao and Guo Yan to instigate them to rebel, he sent reinforcements at that time. In terms of time, he couldn't come in time, not to mention that Sun Ce didn't know about Li and Guo's rebellion, and sent reinforcements from a distance of thousands of miles and put them into the battlefield in time? Besides, Sun Ce had just used the strategy of feigning his death to take the two counties of Jingzhou, and it was too late to rectify the internal situation, so how could he send reinforcements to support the war in Hejian?

With a confused feeling, Qi Tian returned to the city defense, commanding his soldiers to prepare for a desperate fight with Yuan's army. Don't think about the problem if you can't think through it, since Zhuge Liang has made a guarantee, Qi Tian believes that there will be no problem, after all, Zhuge Liang has never guessed wrong.

Under the city, the 50,000 sergeants of the vanguard of the Yuan army have set up a cloud ladder on the river city, hundreds of cloud ladders are erected on the city wall one by one, and a large number of Yuan soldiers are struggling to climb up along the cloud ladder, densely packed as if countless ants have smelled the smell of candy, quite a bit of the taste of forgetting life and death.

"The spearman stepped forward and stabbed Yuan Jun's ladder over!" Qi Tian shouted and began to officially enter the combat state. The spearmen, who had been waiting in line on the city walls, stepped forward quickly, raised their halberds long, and stabbed with all their might at the cloud ladder that had emerged from the top of the city.

With the efforts of the pikemen, dozens of ladders on the city wall were stabbed over, hanging upside down and falling backwards, and Yuan Jun, who was climbing on these ladders, let out a cry of horror and fell down with the ladders. Some Yuan soldiers at the bottom of the ladder could still rely on the advantage of being close to the ground, let go of their hands in danger, jumped off the ladder, and escaped this catastrophe, but those Yuan troops who were in the middle and top of the ladder had no possibility of jumping off the ladder, so they had to hold on to the ladder with both hands, trying to use luck to avoid being stoned to death. When the inclination angle of the ladder reached the maximum, Yuan Jun, who was holding the ladder, was affected by the acceleration of the ladder, and could no longer grasp the ladder, and was thrown down one after another.

The pikemen on the city wall didn't have time to see their results, and at the same time turned around and took a few steps back under Qi Tian's command, and then raised their spears again and stabbed them hard at the top of the ladder. With their movements, dozens of ladders were knocked over, put on the top of the city wall, and were knocked away from the city wall by the halberd, after the ladder lost its support, as just now, with inertia and acceleration, as well as Yuan Jun's desperate shouts, it fell from a high altitude, and hundreds of people on the ladder were thrown to death on the land under Hejian City.

This kind of situation has been repeated many times in Yuan Ding's eyes in the past few days, and Yuan Ding has no good way to deal with it. If you want to attack the city, the only way is to use a ladder to erect it on the city wall, and then fill it with human lives. As a result, in the siege battle every day, Yuan Ding's subordinates would suffer some damage, as many as three or five thousand people. There are as few as one or two thousand people, but the battle losses of the Youzhou army are almost zero.

Seeing the Youzhou army stabbing over the ladder again, Yuan Ding finally became furious. I haven't been able to conquer Hejian for seven or eight days in a row, and when Yuan Qi comes back, it will be even more difficult to fight. The revenge of his beloved son Yuan Xi has not been avenged for a long time. Yuan Ding was a little anxious, and at that moment, Yuan Ding shouted angrily: "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, I will give you another 10,000 horses, rush up for me!"

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang agreed in unison, lit up 10,000 foot soldiers, and were just about to enter the battlefield. On the ground in the southeast direction, there was a slight tremor suddenly, although Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were not famous generals, but they had also been on the battlefield for a long time, and immediately judged that there was a group of cavalry galloping in the southeast direction, and there were quite a few of them!

Yuan Ding also sensed the movement in the southeast, so Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang temporarily stopped reinforcements and arranged a protective formation on his side. for their own safety. Yuan Ding's subordinates have 300,000 troops, but Yuan Ding can't bring 300,000 troops out of the camp at one time, he has to leave enough people to take care of the grain and grass, so every time he attacks the city, Yuan Ding only brings 100,000 people to participate in the battle, and now the 50,000 people of the vanguard army have been sent to the battlefield. Then Yuan Ding only had 40,000 people around him to guard, if there were a large number of Youzhou troops from the southeast, Yuan Ding would be exposed to them, out of his own safety. As a result, Yuan Ding stopped sending additional siege troops, and instead let Erlu form a guard on his side.

Soon, the tremor of the great earthquake in the southeast became more and more intense, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was clearly audible. On the city wall, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned Qi Tian and said happily: "General Qi, reinforcements have arrived." Can quickly lead the elite of the Flying Dragon Army to prepare for the charge, and respond to Sun Ce's troops at any time. ”

Qi Tian wanted to ask Zhuge Liang why he could conclude that it would be Sun Ce's troops, not Yuan Jun's bait or anyone else, but when the words came to his lips, Qi Tian swallowed them back. As a generation of famous generals, Qi Tian naturally knows the fleeting truth of fighters, this kind of joint charge launched from two directions, often in the first time to exert the greatest lethality, if because of his own verbosity, miss the best fighter, it will be worth the loss.

So, Qi Tian had no extra nonsense, handed over the command of defending the city to the veteran Huang Yong, turned around and walked down the city wall, gathered the 20,000 elites of the Flying Dragon Army under his subordinates, and lined up the battle formation in the city, just waiting for Zhuge Liang to order to open the city gate, he would lead the Flying Dragon elites to rush out on horseback.

A large flag, emerging from the horizon in the southeast, was embroidered with the words "Han Capture General Zhou". This is Zhou Yu's battle flag! Zhou Yu bent his waist slightly, and galloped towards the battlefield with a whip. On Zhou Yu's side, on the left were Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, on the right were Xu Sheng and Chen Wu, and behind Zhou Yu, dozens of generals followed, each raising swords and guns, with more than 10,000 cavalry, towards the place where Yuan Ding was, and launched a charge. Not far behind the cavalry, you can still see a crowded infantry army, and according to rough estimates, there are at least 20,000 people!

The news that Zhou Yu could appear on the battlefield in time was not that Zhuge Liang could predict the prophet, but that Zhuge Liang judged it according to the situation in Jiangdong. At the beginning, Sun Ce cheated to death, and the news that his successor Sun Quan was young and could not convince the public came out of Jiangdong, and the Mesozoic generals led by Zhou Yu ran away with Zhou Yu in a negative mood, and it was rumored that he would go to Youzhou to defect to Yuanqi. In this seemingly logical news, Zhuge Liang peeked through the flaws, Sun Ce treated Zhou Yu like his own brother, even if Zhou Yu was really excluded, he would definitely not deviate from the young Sun Quan, so Zhuge Liang deduced that Zhou Yu and others did not actually deviate from Sun Quan, but came to support Hejian under the guise of betraying Sun Quan! Later, the news that Sun Ce was cheating his death came out, which made Zhuge Liang more sure of his own views, so he said to Qi Tian that reinforcements would arrive within three days, and this support army was Zhou Yu!

At the moment when Zhou Yu's banner appeared on the horizon, the city gate of the river was suddenly opened under the order of Zhuge Liang, Qi Tian held the Qi Tian halberd, sat down and the red rabbit horse was as red as fire, and one person and one horse rushed out of the river city in all directions, behind Qi Tian, 20,000 heads were inserted with blood red feathers, and the flying dragon elite with heavy Rahu dragon horn halberd in his hand was led by Qi Tian, and the horse was killed, just right and Zhou Yu's department faintly formed a echoing trend.

Seeing Qi Tian kill, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Thousands of miles to find a soulmate, the time of Qi Tian's attack is extremely accurate, and the champion Hou is really full of talents!
