Outside Puyang City.
The Black Mountain Army, which could not be seen at a glance, was slowly marching from a distance.
But in the dark crowd, most of the soldiers were sallow and thin, and there were even many old, young, women and children among them.
Most of them only have a simple weapon.
Only a few people can wear fine armor.
Yu Du was riding on a tall horse, his eyes fixed on Puyang City not far away.
Following him were several other generals, namely Bai Rao and Sui Gu.
"Puyang City is so tall and strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer!"
Bai Luo frowned and said.
"General Bai is overly worried. According to the report from the spies I placed in the city, Cao Cao led a large army out of the city and only had 3,000 new soldiers left. How could he possibly stop our 100,000-strong army?"
Huang Silang smiled nonchalantly, looking towards Puyang City in the distance with anger and hatred in his eyes!
good.
Although Cao Cao had the entire Huang family beheaded, the Huang family had been operating in Puyang City for so many years and still had a lot of manpower.
As early as when Cao Cao went on an expedition, Huang Silang got the news and told Yu Du in advance.
"Your information better be accurate, otherwise, you will die!"
Sui Gu glared at Huang Silang coldly.
Originally, they planned to return to their home base first to defeat Cao Cao's main force, and then continue to attack Dongjun.
However, after Huang Silang's strong persuasion, Yu Du finally chose to attack Puyang County first.
"Leader Yu, how should we attack now?"
When Bai Rao spoke like this, everyone turned their attention to Yu Du.
Yu Du touched his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.
The Black Mountain Army claims to have hundreds of thousands, but there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 people, all of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled and unable to fight.
The rest of the soldiers also lacked armor.
It is really difficult to break through an impregnable county seat.
But now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired.
Thinking of this, Yu Du pointed to the county road,
"Let's concentrate our superior forces and attack only one of them."
"First send out men to block the other three city gates with sandbags and dig deep ditches to prevent them from leaving the city to harass."
"We will start our attack tomorrow!"
Everyone responded in unison,
"Here!"
…
On the city wall.
Xun Yu looked at the Black Mountain Army taking action, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"It seems that the leader of the Black Mountain bandits, Yu Du, is not a fool after all!"
"So what, if he dares to come today, I will make sure they never come back!"
Dian Wei, who had a loud voice, burst into laughter.
The panicked recruits around him instantly felt much calmer.
"But having said that, General Dian, we still can't be careless."
Xun Yu warned.
"Don't worry, Jun Cheng, I'm fully prepared!"
Dian Wei waved his hand nonchalantly,
"It seems that the Montenegrin Army will not attack today, so you should go down and rest first."
Xun Yu also saw that the Black Mountain Army was just making preparations today.
So he nodded and left the city wall with a heavy heart.
Dian Wei looked at the Black Mountain bandits who were transporting sandbags and digging deep ditches under the city wall with a sneer on his face.
"Sure enough, my elder brother guessed it right. These Black Mountain bandits lack weapons and weapons, so they can only concentrate their advantages to attack one place."
"This way, it saves you trouble!"
…
After completing the preliminary preparations, early the next morning, the Black Mountain bandits launched an attack on Puyang City!
In order to show his determination to capture the city, Yu Du did not hesitate and sent his main force to attack the city first.
The soldiers of the Black Bandits carried the hastily built ladders, raised their crude shields, and braved the rain of arrows to approach the city wall!
They leaned the ladder against the city wall and tried to climb up.
I saw that the wall to the west of Puyang City was densely packed with soldiers clinging to it!
Although the combat effectiveness of the three thousand new soldiers who stayed in Puyang was a bit weak, they were condescending and occupied the geographical advantage.
He just raised the bow, arrows and gravel in his hand, Numbly kept attacking downwards, blocking the enemy's attack!
As a result, even though the Black Mountain thieves had a numerical advantage, they could not easily break through.
For a time, the battle situation showed a stalemate.
Outside the battlefield.
Seeing his soldiers die tragically under the city wall one by one, Yu Du's heart seemed to be bleeding.
He turned to look at Bai Rao and Sui Gu, and said viciously,
"If we keep fighting like this, we will fight until the end of the Year of the Monkey! Why don't we all send out our elite troops to conquer Puyang in one go? How about that?!"
Bai Rao and Sui Gu looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and said,
"That's fine!"
There are usually intrigues among the Black Mountain bandits, and several leaders do not want their own interests to be harmed.
But the war is urgent at this time, and the only way to get down to business is to capture Puyang quickly!
Therefore, they could only agree to Yu Du's suggestion!
"very good!"
Yu Du nodded and nodded to the soldiers on the side.
After a while, a heavy horn sounded.
The Black Mountain bandits and soldiers who were attacking the city disappeared like the tide!
…
In the city.
Yang Ling was leaning there leisurely, basking in the sun.
Zhao Yun stood aside and couldn't help but said,
"Brother, do we really not need to show up?"
"Don't worry, Zilong, I must have warned your second brother. With his ability, the Black Mountain bandits won't be able to capture him for a while."
Yang Ling said slowly and authentically.
After all, Dian Wei was also a famous general in history. If he couldn't defeat the Black Mountain Bandits' first wave of attacks, it would only be because Yang Ling misjudged him.
At this moment, Zhao Yun listened intently and shouted excitedly,
"Brother, listen quickly, it seems that the Black Mountain bandits have withdrawn their troops!"
Yang Ling listened carefully and saw that the horn sound really represented retreat.
But he was not as excited as Zhao Yun. He shook his head and said,
"This is not good news."
"Doesn't this mean that the second brother repelled the attack of the Black Mountain Bandits? Why is it not good news?"
Zhao Yun said doubtfully.
"It's very simple. When the two armies are fighting, usually the first wave of attacks is tentative. The next attack by the Black Mountain bandits will definitely be more intense!"
Yang Ling looked at the city wall not far away and muttered,
"Zilong, go and help your second brother!"
"yes, Sir!"
Zhao Yun, who could no longer hold himself any longer, picked up his spear and followed the order.
…
On the city wall.
Dian Wei was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Yun running towards him.
"Zilong, why are you here?"
"Second brother, eldest brother asked me to come over and help you."
Zhao Yundao.
"That's fine! With your help, defending the city will definitely not be a problem."
Dian Wei smiled.
However, at this moment, the soldiers on the side suddenly reminded,
"General, look!"
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were stunned and looked towards the Black Mountain bandit army.
I saw several groups of people rushing out from the enemy army and rushing towards the city wall.
Compared with the previous Black Mountain bandit soldiers, these teams appear to be significantly more elite.
Not only are they strong, they can even wear armor!
