Chapter 36 Siege

Early this morning, all the soldiers who attacked Yuzhou City overnight have retreated from the battlefield, but no new soldiers have attacked Yuzhou City as eagerly as they did for a long time.

The war also stopped temporarily at this time. With a strong wind, the long-deposited smoke over Yuzhou City dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth again, but there was still a trace of curling black smoke on the battlefield, which seemed to be extinguished, only swaying with the wind.

Yuzhou City, which has experienced many days of war, is already dilapidated at this time, and several walls have been hit by flying stones.

This is also the third day when Li Xiaohe came to Yuzhou City. The 200,000 Shu local reinforcements will also gather under Yuzhou City today.

At this time, Li Xiaohe had already changed into handsome armor and stood on a 100-foot-high platform with Liang Ziqiao.

His face is also covered with a blue mask, which looks like an ancient icon, but no one can recognize his original face.

"Look at the soldiers in Yuzhou City. As soon as the war stopped, they all showed their fatigue." Liang Ziqiao looked at the scene in Yuzhou City and walked slowly.

Li Xiaohe looked at it and saw that the war stopped as Liang Ziqiao said. Many of the soldiers guarding the city in Yuzhou were leaning against the wall, and even many soldiers began to sleep slightly, all looking exhausted.

Indeed, after a few days of fierce attacks day and night, Liang Ziqiao's siege of the city has taken turns because there are more armors than those defending the city in Yuzhou City, while many of those armors in Yuzhou City have been sleepless for several days.

In the battle, these soldiers did not show fatigue because they had been tense, but at this time, the war stopped. Although it was only for a moment, it also made these soldiers' tense minds suddenly relax. Naturally, the already tired body could no longer hold on.

"If the whole army enters at this time, it can also take Yuzhou City." Li Xiaohe said lightly.

Liang Ziqiao said in a low voice, "What I want is not maybe, what I want is foolproof. Therefore, we must wait for Uncle Li to arrive and then attack the city. We have been here for so long. Now we must take down Yuzhou City with one breath. There can't be no difference at all.

"Oh, you are very confident." Li Xiaohe only smiled softly.

And the king of Pingnan and Changfan also stood on the city of Yuzhou at this time.

Looking at the exhausted soldiers in the city, the king of Pingnan frowned and looked anxious.

Chang Fan also saw everything in his eyes and said lightly, "Your Majesty, can you hold on to the current situation later?"

When the king of Pingnan heard Chang Fan's words, his face suddenly became gloomy and only said, "I hope I don't expect it. I may get through a disaster today. When my reinforcements arrive tomorrow, as long as I pass today, it will be fine."

"I don't know what the prince cares about now?" Chang Fan asked softly again.

The king of Pingnan turned his eyes to Liang Ziqiao's barracks and looked at the heavy black armor and thought for a long time before saying, "You see, not only is our army tired, but also the rebels are already tired. They are doing this now, just confusing us. I'm sure that after this short silence, they will definitely send A bigger attack than before. However, this is only external. The real intention is only to make us guard the current three-party city tower, and their 200,000 reinforcements will suddenly launch an attack on Chaotian Water Gate. They want to use this as a strange soldier to attack from there. At that time, Yuzhou City will be trapped on all sides, and we may be destroyed. Even if there are reinforcements, we will not be able to enter the city. Help."

"Oh, the prince analyzed all this thoroughly, but is it really as you think?" Changfan said again.

"Ha ha, if I use the army, it will definitely be the same. The soldiers are so expensive that I can't catch the enemy off guard. Now that we know the movement of these 200,000 enemy soldiers, he is not a strange soldier. He wanted to suddenly attack when I was unprepared. Why don't I set an ambush at the water gate before he didn't know and catch him off guard? At that time, concentrate your troops to annihilate the 200,000 reinforcements in one fell swoop. I believe that you will definitely suppress the arrogance of the rebels, and then go back to defend other places. As long as the speed is fast enough, there will be no difference. The king of Pingnan said slowly.

Chang Fan listened carefully and said, "Then it depends on how the prince will deal with it later."

"Ha ha, let's go to Chaotianshui Gate now." King Pingnan smiled softly.

The King of Pingnan and Chang Fan went to the Tianshui Gate, and some of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou were also transferred out, all of which gathered at the Tianshui Gate.

Until noon, the sky over Yuzhou City was already shining, and there was a faint fog covering the land. The sun showed various colors. Looking at the already dilapidated Yuzhou City from afar, it was very ethereal in the fog, like a fairy city.

Li Xiaohe and Liang Ziqiao also stood on this 100-foot-high platform all morning. At this time, they saw a commanding officer finally coming below.

The magistrate only hurriedly waved the flag on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Liang Ziqiao finally tightened his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Okay, Uncle Li has arrived, and the whole army has started."

Li Xiaohe couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and it was finally time for a decisive battle.

At this time, Liang Ziqiao took out a command sword from his arms and waved to the command officer under the battlefield. The command officer got the command sword and rushed away.

Less than a moment later, Li Xiaohe suddenly felt a shock under his feet. The hundred-foot platform he and Liang Ziqiao stood had moved forward slowly.

Fu'er's thunder drums and drums were ringing, and the military horns looked up to the sky in unison, and a burst of gunfire came everywhere.

Li Xiaohe stood on this hundred-foot battle platform and only looked down at the whole battlefield. He saw that Liang Ziqiao's siege army was indeed all out, and the queue was orderly, like black clouds, pressing towards Yuzhou City.

At this time, there was also a drum in Yuzhou City. Those tired soldiers looked at the large pieces of black armor below pressing down again, but there was a trace of panic.

"You see, the soldiers in Yuzhou City are already in fear and will undoubtedly be defeated, and the King of Pingnan is even smart. If he doesn't defend the city well, he has to play with me." Liang Ziqiao smiled faintly.

At this time, the black armor attacking the city finally attacked Yuzhou City. Suddenly, the arrows on the city were like rain, and the sound of killing resounded through the sky again.

However, Li Xiaohe saw that the black armor that attacked the city also suddenly fired bows and arrows, and flying stones hit Yuzhou City.

Before long, the first batch of armor had put the Daoyun ladder on the wall, and the black armor that attacked the city immediately climbed up the ladder one after another.

However, the Baizhang platform where Li Xiaohe is located stopped hundreds of feet away from Yuzhou City. Standing on this platform, you can already see the scene in Yuzhou City.

But the most powerful thing about this stage is that except for him and Liang Ziqiao on the stage where Li Xiaohe is located, the other platforms are full of sharpshooters.

These sharpshooters only shot the defenders at the top of the ladder, so that the siege armor on the ladder will not be attacked by the defenders above.

This time, Liang Ziqiao's three armies moved together, and the flames of war were all together, but in a short moment, there were already some black armor attacking the city head, and the gate was even more overwhelmed with the "ka" sound, as if it would be broken at any time.

"Haha, this king of Pingnan is really smart." Liang Ziqiao couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

But Li Xiaohe didn't know the details, so he wondered, "How do you say this?"

Liang Ziqiao turned around and smiled, "Now our army is about to attack the city, but where do you think the king of Pingnan is?"

"Hmm." Li Xiaohe only swept through the whole city, but did not see the king of Pingnan.

"Of course he is not here. He thought that I was bluffing on these three sides and only attacked his Chaotianshui Gate alone. He gathered half of the army in the city to defend the Chaotianshui Gate." Liang Ziqiao continued.

Li Xiaohe was stunned and suddenly thought that at this time, the 200,000 reinforcements from Shu had not met with the land siege army, so the 200,000 reinforcements went down by warship and finally went straight to Chaotianshuimen.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaohe couldn't help asking, "Didn't those 200,000 reinforcements go to attack Chaotian Water Gate?"

"Ha ha, the attack is naturally to attack, but that's the bluff. In fact, I am attacking these three gates, and there are less than 30,000 reinforcements at the Chaotian Water Gate. Liang Ziqiao said mysteriously.

"Well, there are only 30,000, so where did the other 100,000 reinforcements go?" Li Xiaohe couldn't help but be a little shocked. At this moment, the king of Pingnan gathered nearly half of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou City at Chaotianshuimen. The defenders there should also say that there should be 30,000 or 400,000, while Liang Ziqiao's Shu's reinforcements only 30,000 went there.

Liang Ziqiao Fuer said in a low voice: "There are too many defenders in Yuzhou. Although I can break into the city today and annihilate them, then they will definitely fight against trapped beasts, and our army will lose a lot at that time. So now is not the time to fight with them and gradually encroach on them.

"What do you think if our army breaks into the city from these three sides now, but half of the soldiers and horses of the king of Pingnan gathered at the Chaotian Water Gate, what will he do then?" Liang Ziqiao smiled in a blink of an eye.

Li Xiaohe thought slightly and said, "There are only 30,000 reinforcements outside the Chaotian Water Gate. Sooner or later, they will be discovered by the King of Pingnan. By that time, these three towers have been broken. Since the gate of Yuzhou City has been broken, I'm afraid that he will immediately break through the Chaotian Water Gate with half of the soldiers and flee in a hurry."

"Yes, as long as he escapes, the remaining soldiers and horses of the three towers will lose the last trace of faith. The three armies have no commanders, and they will not resist more at that time. Compared with destroying his whole army, and our army has paid at least half of the price, this is better. In this way, our army will not only not lose, but also recruit half of the soldiers left behind. Only in this way will our army continue to grow, and half of the soldiers and horses he took away have long been in my pocket. Liang Ziqiao said slowly.

"Oh, is it the other more than 100,000 reinforcements?" Li Xiaohe suddenly became clear.

Liang Ziqiao smiled and said, "Yes, the other 100,000 reinforcements have been waiting for him on his way to escape."
