Ying Shao smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your hard work, General Zhang Zhonglang. I will go to Xiahou Sima in the evening. It is dark, so I can hide more."
Xiahou Dun raised his hand and said: "The last general takes orders."
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others did not say anything. They were still worried about Ying Shao's plan.
The Montenegrin army on the opposite side was suspicious of the sudden movement of the army and did not attack the city again. They waited quietly for Sun and his wife to open the city gate tomorrow and capture Julu in one fell swoop.
In the evening, Xiahou Dun came out of the city. Ten thousand people formed a formation, roaring and cursing.
After all, it was not long before dark, and Xiahou Dun was not afraid of provoking the Black Mountain Army to attack the city. Ten thousand people stood in the open space and scolded Zhang Yan, Bai Rao, Yu Du and others from their eighteenth generation of ancestors until now.
Ten thousand people were uniformly shouting and cursing, soaring into the sky and covering a radius of several miles. Together with the echoes from everywhere, it was really ups and downs and endless.
Until dark, Xiahou Dun had no intention of withdrawing his troops. He allowed the soldiers to curse and patrol back and forth in front of the formation on horseback, staring in the direction of the Montenegrin Army camp.
Estimating that time was almost up, Xiahou Dun withdrew his troops.
When they reached the top of the city, Xiahou Dun raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to hide three thousand, but I was afraid it would be too obvious, so I only hid two thousand."
Ying Shao smiled slightly and said: "What Sima Xiahou is considering is. Four thousand people, that's about it."
Zhao Yun heard this and said, "Your Majesty, is it really okay?"
Ying Shao's smile did not change and he said: "Judging from the reaction of the Black Mountain Army today, they really don't have any resourceful people. It shouldn't be obvious."
Everyone nodded and looked in the direction of the Black Mountain Army camp.
Just wait until tomorrow.
Just wait until tomorrow.
Everyone in the Black Mountain Army Camp had the same thought.
When Yu Du saw that Xiahou Dun had gone back, he couldn't get rid of his anger and said viciously: "When I capture the giant deer, I will break Xiahou Dun's bones bit by bit!"
Bai Rao was still puzzled and said, "What on earth are the officers and soldiers going to do?"
It's too weird to go out and call in formation in the evening until dark.
Zhang Yan's fair face was full of confusion and she said: "No matter what, we will break the city tomorrow!"
They have an internal response, open the city gate, and destroy the giant deer tomorrow!
Early the next morning, Zhao Yun went out of the city again to call for formation.
Zhang Yan, Bai Rao, Yu Du, Sui Gu and others looked on with indifferent expressions.
Behind them, the army is gearing up, waiting to eat and drink, and is about to break the city today!
Zhao Yun shouted for a while, looked up at the rising sun, patted his horse and turned around, saying: "Go back to the city!"
Five thousand troops returned to the city, and the four gates were under martial law. The city gates and visible streets were filled with soldiers who were ready to go.
Zhao Yun returned to the tower and before he could say anything, outside the north gate, the Black Mountain Army appeared all over the mountains and plains. The siege ladders were densely packed. It was obvious that they were determined to break the city today.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others had expressions of concentration on their faces, and they couldn't help but clenched the swords and guns in their hands.
Ying Shao, on the other hand, took his time and put his hands behind his back, looked at the dark crowd of rebels, and said with a smile: "These rebels know nothing except robbery, so they are destined to have no great future."
Seeing how calm Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were, their nervousness eased a little.
Think about it, the Yellow Turban Army chanted loudly, "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand", and the momentum was huge, but from the beginning to the end, they never gained a foothold and only knew how to plunder. Once the court invited people to accept it, they gladly accepted it and almost did not do anything. as.
"kill!"
The Montenegrin Army's attack on the city came as promised, and the clashes of killing cries shook the sky. It was obviously more ferocious than before.
Ying Shao and others didn't move, they were already ready.
On the top of the north gate city, both sides' siege and defense measures were deployed. The sounds of swords, arrows, and all kinds of sounds were extremely harsh.
Ying Shao remained calm, opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Xiahou Sima, go ahead."
"Take the order!" Xiahou Dun raised his hand and turned around to go downstairs.
Zhang Liao looked back and continued to defend the city.
The Montenegrin army aimed to break the city today and mobilized 100,000 people to attack the city with unprecedented intensity.
Xiahou Dun led his men and horses and directly surrounded the residence of Sun, his wife and others, and kicked in the door without hesitation.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
Xiahou Dun held a long knife and went on a rampage.
Sun, his wife and others were discussing how to open the city gate. When they heard the movement outside the door, they were all startled and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing Xiahou Dun, Mr. and Mrs. Sun's expressions changed in shock, and then they said gloomily, "Xiahou Dun! What are you going to do?"
Xiahou Dun sneered and said, "I'll lend you and others my head! Kill!"
The soldiers drew their swords and without hesitation, they killed anyone they saw and rushed towards Sun, his wife and more than a dozen people.
Sun, his wife, and others did not know that they were exposed, so they ordered the servants to resist, and shouted: "Xiahou Dun, we, we have people in the court, so we don't have to be so arrogant!"
"Yes, yes, my ancestor is the Sixth Cao Shilang, you can't kill me!?"
"My uncle is in Taichang and has won the trust of Mr. Cai. You guys, please don't mess around!"
Xiahou Dun turned a deaf ear to the words of these people and killed them with his sword.
There were nearly three hundred servants in Sun and his wife's house. The officers and soldiers killed them for a long time before they were finally pacified.
Xiahou Dun took the heads of his grandson and his wife and strode to the top of the city.
Ying Shao saw this and shouted: "Hang their heads to the highest place!"
"Yes!" Xiahou Dun responded, turned around and ordered his men to hang.
Not long after, amidst the deafening shouts of death, more than a dozen heads including Sun and his wife were hung on the flagpole.
Ying Shao looked at the heads and ordered: "Add three thousand more people."
If the personnel of Sun and his wife are revealed, the Montenegrin Army will definitely become even crazier.
When the army was increasing its strength like this, Zhang Yan and others also got the news. Seeing that the internal forces were gone, they were furious.
Zhang Yan was pacing back and forth, with a gloomy face that was about to drip with ink, and said loudly: "You, you, and you, let me capture it today! If we cannot capture it, everyone will have nothing to eat!"
Yu Du, Bai Rao and others also looked unkind, and their hearts were full of anger. They immediately walked out and personally supervised the battle.
The battle between the four gates became even more intense.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun and others in Julu City had already gone into battle in person, taking the lead and fighting hard to resist.
Seventy or eighty thousand people attacked the city. They had never seen such a grand occasion. They defended the city with all their strength as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The fighting lasted from morning to noon, then passed noon without stopping, and then lasted for more than an hour, which seemed like a day!
The Montenegro Army has no intention of giving up regardless of the cost.
Under the city tower, there were corpses and rivers of blood, while on the city tower, corpses were being carried down one by one, and the wounded soldiers kept leaving.
Zhao Yun's chest was bleeding, his helmet was missing, his hair was disheveled and he came to Ying Shao and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please send more people to the city, we can't hold it anymore!"
"Well, let's hold on for another half hour." Ying Shao stood in the sword pavilion with an unmoving expression and had no immediate plans to send anyone to the city.
Zhao Yun looked at the soldiers who had been waiting for a day below the city tower, and saw the number of soldiers on the city tower dwindling. He felt extremely worried and said, "Your Majesty, I really can't hold on any longer. I heard that the south gate is even more critical!"
"Wait for my order." Ying Shao said calmly with no expression on his face.
Seeing that he refused to give orders, Zhao Yun had no choice but to turn around and go to defend the city again.
The nearly one-day battle to defend the city had caused too many losses to Julu City. The number of soldiers on the city tower was nearly half less than in the morning!
Zhang Liao at the south gate was in the most danger. The city gate was almost rushed open, and more than half of the city top was lost.
"General Zhonglang, please increase the number of troops. If you don't increase the number of troops, it will be impossible!" A chief came to Zhang Liao's side and said anxiously.
The sound of the rebels banging on the door was like a drum beating in their hearts.
Zhang Liao's face was covered with blood, and he was as cold as iron. He said: "I can't give them orders without the commander's orders."
"Then I'll go see the envoy!" Shi Chang said.
Zhang Liao grabbed him and said: "Defend the city! Other matters are not your turn!"
"General Zhonglang, hey..." Shi Chang had no choice but to continue to defend the city.
The officers and soldiers were having a hard time, and Bai Rao and Yu Du were also gritting their teeth under the city.
It seems to be close, but it is difficult to break.
The number of their dead was several times that of the officers and soldiers in the city!
The Black Mountain Army can be said to be a mob. Although Bai Rao, Yu Du and others regard Zhang Yan as their leader, they each have their own tribes and territories. Therefore, the people Yu Du and Bai Rao lose are all their own.
Every young man is a 'luxury', and they have parents, wives and children behind them. Losing one of them will not only reduce the strength of the army, but also increase the burden.
Seeing that more and more of them were dying, Yu Du couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned around and found Zhang Yan and said, "General, please send reinforcements!"
Zhang Yan stared in the direction of the west gate and said: "In another moment and a half, we will be able to break through!"
Yu Du gritted his teeth and said, "If we continue, all my people will die!"
Zhang Yan was tall, looking down at him and said: "As long as the city is captured, men and women can have as many as they want!"
Seeing Zhang Yan's refusal to send troops, Yu Du said coldly: "General, all our men have been killed, and not one of your men is missing. You don't want to take the opportunity to annex us, do you?"
Zhang Yan's face darkened and she said: "My army is reserved for the decisive battle in the city. When have I annexed others in so many years?"
At this time, Bai Rao connected and said sadly: "General, you don't have any, but there are many people who have defected to you. More than half of my troops and horses have been lost. If you don't send troops, I will withdraw. It is better than death." It’s so unclear.”
Sui Gu and others also rushed over, staring at Zhang Yan with unkind expressions. Some of their losses ranged from over ten thousand to several thousand. For them, it was all a strain and they could no longer fight.
Seeing the crowd gathered around, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed with anger, and she immediately said with a smile: "Since you want to give me the credit for breaking the city, I won't be polite."
He didn't care about other people's gazes, directly drew out his sword and shouted: "Attack the city!"
Zhang Yan had already prepared and the 20,000 troops were ready to go, swarming towards the west gate.
Seeing that Zhang Yan finally sent troops, Bai Rao, Yu Du and others felt relieved and turned around to attack the city again.
Seeing the main force of the Montenegrin Army concentrated at the west gate, Ying Shao, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun and others also rushed over.
Zhao Yun raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said, "Your Majesty, is it almost time?"
Ying Shao's face was as dark as water and he said: "It will take another half an hour! Zhang Zhonglang will stay, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun, and I order you two to lead ten thousand each, and wait for my orders at any time!"
"Yes!" The two raised their hands and eagerly went downstairs to order their troops.
And at the city gate, soldiers continued to pour in.
Ying Shao didn't hold back any more, and sent everyone he could to the city.
Towards evening, an unprecedented fierce battle broke out on the west gate.
Both sides seemed to regard this time as a decisive battle and went all out. The battle was unprecedentedly cruel.
Below, Zhang Yan personally supervised the battle. The Black Mountain Army was fearless and brave, advancing one after another.
"kill!"
Accompanied by the rumbling drums, the sound of killing was like thunder throughout Julu City, penetrating the sky.
This battle has been fought from morning to now, the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and there are countless casualties.
While Ying Shao was guarding the city, he looked up at the sky from time to time and estimated the time.
"It's almost done..." Ying Shao said to himself.
Zhang Liao was exhausted a long time ago. Hearing this, his expression perked up and he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I'm going to ask for your orders!"
Ying Shao glanced at him and said, "This is a big gamble. The outcome is unknown. If you go out, you will die."
Zhang Liao's face did not change as he said: "The last general will not be afraid of death!"
Ying Shao nodded, turned his head silently, and looked at the Black Mountain Army who were still attacking fiercely below the city.
Zhang Yan and others saw the head of Julu City gradually losing strength, and they looked overjoyed and kept urging them to break the city.
After attacking for another full hour, the crumbling Julu City was still not breached!
Instead, it’s getting dark!
Bai Rao, Yu Du and others became anxious and urged them even harder. They even took action and personally killed the soldiers who had escaped, supervising the battle desperately.
They fought for so long this day, and so many people died. How could they survive this breath if they didn't capture it?
Especially, they all know that if they can't capture it today, they will have no chance again!
"kill!"
Suddenly, shouts broke out from the northeast, and another army of troops suddenly appeared.
Zhang Yan and others were shocked, turned around and said anxiously: "Where did the soldiers and horses come from? Go and explore!"
Bai Rao, Yu Du and others were even more frightened, fearing that reinforcements from the government and army had arrived.
"It's the 'yellow' flag, it's Huang Zhong from Bingzhou who has arrived!" Another soldier hurried over and said.
"Impossible!" Bai Rao immediately shouted: "It will take at least five days for Huang Zhong to come from Changshan Kingdom!"
The soldier said: "The villain can really see it, it is the yellow character flag."
Zhang Yan said with a gloomy face, "How many people are there?"
The soldier said: "The mountains and plains are all over and the woods are moving. There are at least 10,000 people."
Bai Rao, Yu Du and others looked flustered. When reinforcements arrived, they were in trouble!
"kill!"
Suddenly, the north gate opened, and Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun rushed out with their troops.
Zhang Yan and others all took a few steps forward, frightened and with fear written on their faces.
Fell into a trap!
These are the three words that pop up in everyone's mind.
Yu Du looked at Bai Rao, suppressing his uneasiness, and said angrily, "What should we do now?"
At this time, he did not trust Zhang Yan, but only trusted Bai Rao, Sui Gu and others who were in a similar situation to him.
Not far away from the west gate, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun were as powerful as dragons. They rushed out of the city and cut a bloody path. They were almost unstoppable.
Zhang Yan was filled with hatred, but she had no choice but to say: "Run away! If you don't run away, I will be surrounded by the army!"
Bai Rao was still doubtful in his heart, but he saw that others had agreed and had already ordered the withdrawal of troops and were preparing to run away.
Bai Luo's face was full of tangles, and he struggled again and again, but still said: "Let's go!"
The originally menacing Montenegrin army suddenly retreated like a tide, and fled in all directions without any plan.
Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun were overjoyed when they saw this. Naturally, they chased and killed the scattered Montenegrin army and defeated them.
Zhang Yan, the powerful and prestigious "Flying General" of the Black Mountain Army, has lost his prestige greatly. Many commanders who originally followed him have gone their separate ways and no longer follow him.
The numerous Black Mountain troops had no other place to go. They circled around and finally headed to the north, the junction of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou.
