"Break the city!"
"Kill the thief!"
"Whoever captures Yuan Ke will receive a reward of one hundred thousand taels!"
"Female Wanhu Hou!"
Everything was as expected. In the early morning of the next day, many soldiers of Yuan Ke's army were still eating in the Jianmen Pass, and the sound of large-scale troops marching could be heard 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 take action."
"Brothers, let's go and kill people."
He picked up the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd stuck on the ground and strode towards the south gate.
Now, they are also fully prepared for war. The mountains, rocks, and trees are extremely well prepared.
The kerosene is also ready.
As soon as he arrived at the city tower, he found Jing Tianming supervising the battle, and Yi Rong, the general of Xuanwu Camp, was also there.
However, what surprised Ye Chen was that Fa Zheng was also there.
"Greetings to the Lord!"
The three of them saluted Yuan Ke.
"Okay, no gifts!"
"What's going on? Who will be the vanguard of the Yizhou Army?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"My Lord, we have just conducted a detailed investigation and found that 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 recruited him to serve in the Dongzhou Army."
"Vanguard Simba!"
"There are 20,000 troops and horses, and the deputy is Li Hui. Li Hui is a famous scholar in Yizhou. He is 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 man was a famous official of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms. He was the Marquis of Han Xingting and the General of Anhan. He was credited with putting down the rebellion caused by the southern barbarians of Bashu.
He was also an extremely powerful Shu Han general.
"Okay, just let it go."
He did not interfere with Jing Tianming presiding over the battle to defend the city.
"promise!"
Jing Tianming and Yi Rong took the orders.
"Archer!"
"Prepare!"
After that, the Yizhou Army frantically attacked the South Gate. Simba and Li Hui were on the front line, personally in charge of military affairs and responsible for supervising the battle. Zhang Ren's tactics were very simple and crude, but they had to use the human sea tactic to exhaust Yuan Ke's army's strength. .
After Yuan Ke's army was exhausted, it was time for them to break through Jianmen Pass and intercept and kill Yuan Ke.
The two sides continued the attack for half a day, resulting in heavy casualties.
Yuan Ke's army suffered nearly a thousand casualties, while the Yizhou army had eight or nine thousand troops.
"Woo-"
Towards evening, the Yizhou army called for gold and retreated, and they returned to camp.
The battle loss was 1:8. This result was already extremely good in a city defense battle.
However, Yuan Ke felt vaguely uneasy.
"My lord!"
While eating, Cao Xiong strode over.
"I just received information that something is wrong with Guangyuan."
"whats the matter?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"Mrs. Lihua's family came to pick her up, and the two sides clashed in the county government office. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the lady scolded them."
"The humble post sent someone to check, and the lady should be the only daughter of Yang Xiong, the current head of the Yang family in Hongnong."
Cao Xiong raised his hand to report.
"Hongnong Yang family?"
Yuan Ke was quite surprised when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that Yang Lihua would be a noble lady.
Hongnong Yang family!
Another powerful family.
Yuan Ke remembered that during the Three Kingdoms period, the Yang family of the Hong family was also a famous figure, especially Yang Xiu.
This son was respectful, studious, and knowledgeable. As soon as he received the crown ceremony, he was promoted to Xiaolian and served as Cao Cao's chief secretary. He was deeply trusted by Cao Cao. Later, because Yang Xiu participated in the dispute between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao was afraid of Yang Xiu. He was the nephew of the Yuan family in Runan, so he found a reason to kill him.
"Yes!"
"Lord, we have just made a detailed report. The person who came to look for his wife is Wanwan, the left envoy of the Yang family's [Poisonous Bee] organization. This woman is an extremely powerful warrior and extremely difficult to deal with. Do you think we should send someone Take them all?”
Cao Xiong asked.
"No--"
"This matter cannot be messed up."
"Let Madam handle everything."
Yuan Ke believed that Yang Lihua could handle the matter well.
For the current plan, what he has to do is to destroy the hundreds of thousands of Yizhou troops outside the city, then enter Yizhou and dominate Bashu.
But now it seems that this battle is not that easy.
Everything needs to be considered in the long run.
The veteran Zhang Ren is a strong opponent. From today's battle, it can be seen that the opponent is a long-term and responsible general. He is very steady and steady in every battle. Such generals are sometimes difficult to deal with.
Because they rarely make mistakes.
In the Yizhou camp, after nightfall, a large number of troops and horses began to quietly attack the city under the cover of darkness. The south gate was relatively open and the formations that could be deployed were large.
call out!
call out!
call out!
A hail of arrows flew over.
Many soldiers of Yuan Ke's army who were on guard 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 wearing armor.
At this time, Jing Tianming also gathered his men and began to defend. However, as soon as they rushed to the city wall, they found that the invading Yizhou Army had retreated.
"What?"
"Ran!"
When Yuan Ke also came to the tower and looked at the Yizhou army receding like a tide, his previous uneasiness finally came true.
Veteran Zhang Ren is so treacherous.
This is clearly a plan to harass the tired enemy!
Although it is an old trick, it is also the most practical nowadays.
Because Yuan Ke had too few soldiers and horses.
"Jing Tianming, divide our army into two teams and take turns to take turns. We must ensure that half of our soldiers can have a good rest."
A vicious trick wiped out half of his troops.
So poisonous!
At this time, Yuan Ke clearly discovered that ancient generals did not have simple roles.
"yes!"
Jing Tianming also understood that this was the best way at the moment.
He and Yi Rong discussed it.
The two took turns to defend the city.
After all plans were compromised, half of Yuan Ke's army was able to rest.
Every hour, the Yizhou army invaded, causing the troops in Jianmen Pass to have no rest and low morale. This made Yuan Ke extremely crazy, but he was powerless.
All hope is that Di Qing's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow and this situation can be properly resolved.
They have to take the initiative.
"Zhang Ren, let's wait and see."
After that, Yuan Kexuan was about to go to rest.
He also needs to recharge his batteries and regain his strength.
After a night of silence and more than a dozen attacks, Yuan Kejun lost more than a thousand troops.
"Old thief Zhang Ren is really hateful!"
Yuan Ke couldn't help but cursed his mother loudly after hearing the news.
He secretly cursed this old man for being too treacherous.
"The enemy is attacking the city."
here we go again.
There was no change in the frequency of the Yizhou Army's attacks. More than 20,000 troops and horses were mobilized each time. The battle loss at this time dropped to 1:5 because all the wood and rocks in the city were thrown away.
At this time, there were not many arrows left.
Yuan Kejun was already in trouble.
Charge after charge, Yuan Kejun's casualties continued to increase.
This situation is terrible.
The battle lasted for another two hours, and more than two thousand people were lost.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the Yizhou army has pushed the city boarding car over."
"They have three boarding cars."
"There are densely packed soldiers and horses behind the city boarding vehicle."
"This is a general attack."
An alarm came from the city wall.
"What? Is it so bad?"
Yuan Ke's expression changed when he heard this.
General attack!
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 soldiers.
This battle is dangerous!
"My lord, why don't we withdraw our army to Guangyuan, and wait for reinforcements from Commander Di and General Cheng to arrive before we attack the city again."
Fa Zheng considered Yuan Ke's safety.
Today, there are at least 90,000 Yizhou troops outside.
It's hard for them to live.
Once the Yizhou Army comes in, it will be difficult for them to escape. At that time, it will be extremely difficult for Yuan Ke to escape even if he wants to.
Yuan Ke's safety is related to the overall situation and cannot be lost.
Everything is as Yuan Ke said. If he loses this battle, he can still make a comeback. But if Yuan Ke makes a mistake, he will be in big trouble.
Yuan Ke is the Lord after all.
His safety represents the interests of too many people.
"Fazheng, what are you talking about?"
"Somebody come!"
"If you pass on my commander's military orders and sneer to withdraw your troops, kill them!"
"I will live and die with Jianmenguan."
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"
Yuan Ke heard this and said sternly.
He understood that he could not retreat under any circumstances. Once he retreated, all his previous efforts would be in vain and his overall plan to conquer Shu would be disrupted.
This battle cannot be retreated.
"I am guilty!"
When Fazheng heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake to Yuan Ke.
"Cao Xiong, you will be the military judge!"
Yuan Ke said.
"yes!"
Cao Xiong took the lead.
"I swear to live and die with Jianmen Pass!"
