Chapter 529 Siege

In anger, Yuan Shao did not dare to underestimate the enemy and ordered Wen Chou to lead 20,000 troops to kill Dai County again. Xu You was appointed as a marching military division. The war in Ji County was in full swing. Xian Yufu's resistance was very strong. At this time, Yuan Shao had only 60,000 troops in his hand. He besieged it day and night in order to defeat Xian Yufu in one fell swoop, and then disintegrated. The combat strength of Youzhou and the rapid progress of the Xiliang Army in Bingzhou have deeply stimulated Yuan Shao. In terms of his background, he is the third princes of the fourth generation. Unexpectedly, even Cao Cao and Jia Rong are not as good as them. Over the years, only having the land of Jizhou has also made him a strong enterprising spirit.

Xian Yufu must have the ability to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Yan Rou and become a driver of Youzhou. Not to mention the way to defend the city, it is still not to stop Yuan Shao.

In particular, Weilan defeated Yan Liang, a famous general in the Jizhou army, which made the soldiers in Youzhou have an unprecedented high fighting spirit. In addition, under the stimulation of Xian Yufu, the soldiers spared no effort to defend the city, making Yuan Shao unable to advance.

Under the city of Jinyang, the Xiliang Army has completely filled the wide moat.

Li Ru frowned and filled the moat. I'm afraid tomorrow will be the day when the Xiliang army will launch an attack. Thinking of the battle between the soldiers on the two sides of the Xiliang army filling the moat, Li Ru felt the horror of the Xiliang army for the first time. The archery of those cavalry can be called a hundred shots, shooting from the bottom of the city to the city, and there can be something like this. Accurate head, if they met on the battlefield, and it was faint, Li Ru felt that the archers of the Xiliang cavalry were much farther than those of the defenders, and all their advantages were approaching in the direction of the Xiliang army.

Other counties and counties surrendered without fighting. The Xiliang army had already made the people in the city known through the arrows, which covered Jinyang City with a layer of smoke. People were panicked. It was not that the generals and soldiers did not use their lives, but it depends on what kind of person their lords were. If Li Ru could treat his soldiers like Jia Rong, the generals would naturally not be there. He cherished his life at the critical moment, but after Li Ru ruled Bingzhou, he only paid attention to the development of his own strength, and did not think about his soldiers. He temporarily held the Buddha's feet, which may make some generals follow desperately, but most of the soldiers are thinking about how to save their lives in this battle or build achievements.

"Is the masonry boulder fire oil ready?" Li Ru said with a low face.

Fan Chou hugged his fist and said, "Your Excellency, it's all ready."

At this time, in Jinyang City, Fan Chou was the only general worthy of Li Ru's trust. Duan Wei and Xu Rong were besieged in Jingling and could not support him. Although there were tens of thousands of troops in the city, there were no brave generals to rule. In terms of battlefield planning, Li Ru could top several, but the real actual battle still relied on the three armies. Generals.

The next day, the Xiliang army buried the pot and finished making rice. The three armies lined up. Jia Rong was dressed in gold armor and appeared in the central army. He wore a Zhanlu sword at his waist and a horse under his body. He was majestic.

Without unnecessary nonsense, Jia Rong directly ordered: "Attack the city!" After many days of preparation, all the soldiers were already ready to sharpen their knives.

The flag danced, and the drums and horns sounded. The Thunderbolt cars approached the city under the cover of heavy infantry. The ready-to-go cavalry began to gallop, drilled archery in the city they were familiar with, and suppressed the defenders in the city. The ten wells were also pushed by the infantry, slowly coming in the direction of the city wall, carrying the ladder. The soldiers seemed to be waiting for something and did not act.

Even if there are thousands of ravines in Li Ru's chest, in the face of the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, he can only order the soldiers to raise the shield in their hands to block it. Since then, his own soldiers can't raise their heads at all. Thinking of the Thunderbolt car waiting under the city just now, Li Ru felt numb his scalp and waited for the Thunderbolt car. After approaching the city wall, it was definitely a huge blow to the defenders.

The defenders also have Thunderbolt cars, but they are more than a little worse than the Xiliang Army. The attack power and attack range are too small, and there is even no accuracy. The random launch, although it has caused certain difficulties for the cavalry, it still can't stop the pace of the army's attack.

The iron-wrapped well is also a sharp weapon in the siege of the city. It shines brilliantly on the battlefield of Bingzhou. Of course, Li Ru knows one or two. There is a big difference between what he sees with his own eyes and what he hears in intelligence. Such wells give people a feeling that they can't break through.

Looking at the trembling soldiers, Li Ru couldn't help stepping forward and scolded, "The enemy is right in front of you. Those who give up are dead, retreating is death. If you don't return, you can have a way to live."

The personal guard team guarded around Li Ru. They dare to have soldiers who don't have long eyes. They shoot knives and guns in their hands are unforgiving. The armor on the guard's body and the weapons in their hands are all obtained from the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, which is absolutely first-class in the army.

A team of soldiers responsible for supervising the battle appeared on the wall. Li Ru's occupation of Bingzhou was not very deep. The soldiers did not have a sense of belonging. It is very likely to escape in battle. The soldiers who supervised the battle would not hesitate to kill the escapees, which to a certain extent could deter and inspire the soldiers. Fighting spirit.

The sound of the drums suddenly changed, and the Thunderbolt began to show off its power. Stones larger than the basin were thrown into the city wall. Five out of ten fell on the city, and the rest also stirred up dust flowers on the wall.

Under the attack of the Thunderbolt car, Li Ru only felt that the city wall was constantly trembling and could collapse at any time. The general of the guard came forward and advised, "Your Excellency, the city is dangerous. Leave quickly."

Li Ru scolded angrily, "In this difficult situation, how can I easily say back? I should face the enemy with the three soldiers!"

When the guard heard this, his face was shy, and the blood in his chest was boiling. Which of the sergeants did not have a cavity of blood? Xitu could rely on one knife and one shot to make a reputation. Li Ru's words won the favor of the soldiers. Looking at the Xiliang Army under the city, his face also became a little determined.

No matter how high the momentum of the garrison is, the Thunderbolt car is still constantly releasing boulders one after another. Under Jia Rong's order, many Thunderbolt cars target the city gate under the control of the soldiers. No matter how awesome the city is, as long as the gate is opened, the defenders in the city can be eaten.

"Your Excellency, it's not good. The gate is cracked, as if it is about to be opened by a boulder." The gatekeeper hurriedly climbed onto the wall and said to Li Ru.

Li Ru was shocked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to carry stones and other materials to fill the city gate. The city gate was sealed, and Jinyang was completely turned into a dead city. This is also the reason why Li Ru was unwilling to give such an order before. The city gate can be opened at any time. Whether there are reinforcements outside the city or escape, it is great convenience. Since Jia Rong came to Jinyang City in person, and Li Ru also knew that his life could not be saved. Even if he escaped from the battlefield, the world would be so big that there would be no place for him.

Li Ru, who has no strength, can only become the minions of other princes at most. Maybe it is taken from the power of the Xiliang Army and dedicates his head to Chang'an. What's more, as a prince, he can bend down under the accounts of others and bow down to his orders. It is difficult for Li Ru to do it. This point.

The poor defenders had to brave the rain of stones all over the sky to bring the hard-earned stones and other materials back to the city.

When the well was close, the defenders could see the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were waiting on the well. These soldiers were wrapped in heavy armor all over their bodies. It was hard to imagine whether one knife and one shot could kill them.

The ladder soldiers moved and ran desperately in the direction of the city wall. The most fierce attack of the Xiliang Army began. No matter how advanced the weapon was, the other party blocked the gate. If you want to enter the city, you must attack the city wall. Of course, the advanced weapons can minimize the losses of your own soldiers, otherwise you will use the ladder soldiers when you go up. The right side will be the dense stone rain of the defenders. The soldiers on the well can provide opportunities for the ladder soldiers as long as they stand firmly on the wall.

The Thunderbolt car slowly withdrew from the battlefield. In the melee, the Thunderbolt car was still a little inaccurate. It accidentally hit its own soldiers, which had a great impact on morale. On the battlefield, unless necessary, few generals ordered their own soldiers to attack the robe.

A ladder was firmly built on the wall, and the well was also close to the city wall. The soldiers on the well unresitatedly pulled up their swords to kill the defenders on the city. As soon as they fell on the wall, three or four weapons fell on their bodies. For them, these attacks were just a surge of blood, and the ring in their hands The first knife will soon kill a place.

The blood flew over, and the defenders were constantly killed, and the soldiers on the well kept killing the city at night. Dozens of heavy infantry were enough to open up an area in the city, so that the defenders in the city could not shoot the Xiliang Army on the cloud ladder at ease.

Li Ru looked at the slowly approaching well with a gloomy face, but there was a trace of helplessness in his heart. The other side had such soldiers. In a hurry, he hurriedly ordered the guards to start fighting against the Xiliang army attacking the city wall. Not only the defenders in the city, but also the prepared teams in the city began to move closer to the city.

There are more than 30,000 defenders in the city. Even if the Xiliang army is brave, it is impossible to capture it in a short time. With the continuous suppression of soldiers, Li Ru finally resisted the first wave of attacks of the Xiliang army. Looking at the dense corpses on the city, he felt a little numb. It seems that the siege of the city has become the defenders in the hands of the Xiliang army in the city. On the upper side of the battle, the defense of the city depends on the advantage of the city wall, disintegrate the enemy's attack under the city, and the ratio of casualties between the defending side and the siege side should be one to three.

Li Ru felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, with the cover of a Thunderbolt car and a well. The other party's soldiers could easily climb the wall, and the advantage of the defenders was completely diluted.

The power of World War I is also widely spread among the defenders. Some people did not believe that the Xiliang Army would have such brave soldiers, but after today, they became believe that as early as the beginning of Jincheng, many soldiers said something about the offensive methods of the Xiliang Army. At that time, most of the soldiers in the army thought that this was the defeated soldiers. I found a reason, but I didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, it was true. Many generals and soldiers also fought in their hearts.
