in fact. Even if they are very careful. The fate of being caught in the urn is inevitable. Because there is only this lonely city left in Danyang. Moreover, the villages and towns around Wanling are also willing to accept Liu Xin's rule. Even if they were lucky enough to break out. Will also end up in a situation where there is nowhere to go.
under these circumstances. Zhang Xi still did not rush to attack. Instead, he used the trebuchet to attack for a whole day. After suffering a three-day stone rain blow. The spirits of the defenders were nearly broken.
It's the fourth day. When the "rumbling" that awakened them from their dreams so many times rang again. Many soldiers and Minzhuang defending the city have weakened their legs. It was almost forced by Yu Mi to climb up the city with a knife.
Outside the city. The trebuchets are still neatly lined up there. But behind the trebuchet, there were more black formations. Flags fluttered in the army. The soldiers were all in black and black armor. There are all kinds of ladders and cars. obviously. The Han Legion that had surrounded Wanling City for more than ten days was about to launch an official attack.
The defenders above the city saw this formation. Could not help but send out a burst of **. After seeing the power of the Han army's crossbows and trebuchets under the city. No one thinks that they can still hold this lonely city. and. After three days of bombardment by trebuchets. Cracks began to appear in many places on the city wall. In some places, even small-scale collapses occurred. No one knows whether these walls, which are almost decaying, can survive the next wave of stone rain. Maybe the military formation outside the city was waiting for the moment the city wall collapsed.
The trebuchet outside the city just stood there quietly. There is no action. but. Those black military formations began to slowly press against the city wall. Step by step. Firm and powerful. The defenders in the city could even feel the shaking of the earth.
suddenly. The military formations shouted in unison: "The donators of the city are exonerated. Those who surrender do not kill. The people who donate the city are exempted. Those who surrender do not kill...
There were forty thousand soldiers lined up outside the city. The power of shouting in unison is really amazing. The deafening sound can be heard for miles.
Yu Mi shouted loudly on the city’s head: "Don't panic. Don't panic. Quickly. Prepare bows and arrows. Prepare to roll woods and rock stones... Ah..."
He is yelling. Don't watch out for the wind in the back of your head. Suffered a fierce stick. in fact. That is not a stick at all. It was a log carried by two soldiers. This kind of log was meant to roll down the city wall when the enemy was ascending to the city. So it is also known as rolling wood. but. The two soldiers saw the menacing army under the city. Almost without thinking, he slammed the whole log into the back of the moose's head. Yu Mo was caught off guard. He yelled and fell to the ground.
Yu Mi's soldiers had to step forward for rescue. But I saw the strange eyes of the soldiers who defended the city and Minzhuang. His hands shivered. Actually threw the knife out of the city. The other soldiers learned everything. They also threw knives and guns down the city. For a time. Ding Ding sound is endless. The base of the city wall is full of weapons.
In this way, Zhang Xi took down Wanling City without bloodshed. When Yu Mi was pushed in front of Liu Xin with a thick bandage on his head. Without even thinking, Liu Xin ordered the moose to launch to be beheaded. For these capabilities are limited. People who don't know the current affairs. Liu Xin really doesn't need any pity for them now.
Danyang calmed down completely. Liu Xin still didn't make up his mind. Do you want to return to the north? Although Jiangnan's economic development is still relatively backward. But the original scenery does not have a charm. Liu Xin decided to stay here temporarily.
More than half a month passed. Yuan Shu still failed to capture Shouchun City. Faced with a long-term unconquerable predicament. Yuan Shu was a little furious. However, misfortunes never come singly. News came suddenly. Gong Du and Liu Pi rebelled in Runan.
Over the past year. Yuan Shu expropriated wildly in Runan, Qiaojun, Lujiang and other places. Made a lot of complaints. The people don't have a living. Gong Du and Liu Pi, who have been hiding in Runan, took the opportunity to mobilize the people. Rise up. In just five or six days, it swept across the entire territory of Runan. And breached Runan City.
This incident greatly angered Yuan Shu. He just ordered Li Feng to lead 50,000 horses to reinforce Ji Ling a few days ago. As a result, something like this happened. There are nearly 100,000 horses under Yuan Shu who sit in Lujiang. But the surrounding Cao Cao and Liu Xin were all staring at each other. He did not dare to easily send troops to regain Runan.
General Chang Shi Yang persuaded: "Lord. Shou Chunjiu can't attack it. It has already set the spirit of our army. It's better to suspend the army for the time being. After the Runan Yellow Turban Rebellion is completely settled, we will do more care."
Yuan Shu paced around in the big tent. He said bitterly: "More than 100,000 people besieged for a month. I can't take a small Shouchun city. I can't swallow this breath anyway. Passing Ling Ji Ling. Beat me to death."
General Yang heard that Yuan Shu would attack Shouchun under such circumstances. Can not help but startled. He quickly persuaded: "The lord must not be arrogant. Runan is my root. I must not lose it. Ji Ling can besiege and not attack. When the food in the city is exhausted. The city can be broken by itself. Now there are thirteen outside the city of Shouchun. There are more than 10,000 people. It's better to draw a team from there to Runan to break the yellow scarf.
Yuan Shu thought for a moment. Said: "Ji Ling wrote a few days ago. In order to preserve his strength, Liu Bei did not do his best to attack the city. That was why Shou Chunjiu was unable to attack. It is really disgusting. Since he refused to contribute in Shouchun, then. Transfer him to Runan to destroy the Yellow Turban."
General Yang hurriedly said: "Lord. Liu Bei is really a generation of heroes. Never let him lead the army alone. Otherwise, he will return to the mountain. The lord can transfer him to Lujiang first. Then a cadre will be sent with him. That's it. Be supervised. It can be guaranteed."
Yuan Shu was silent for a while. Finally nodded in agreement.
in fact. Liu Bei's head cannot be blamed for Shou Chun for a long time. The real culprit is Yuan Shu himself. Yuan Shu levied aggressively in Qiaojun, Runan, and Lujiang. Many people are unbearable. I had to flee to the field with my family. Therefore, many people in Jiujiang have heard of it. I heard that Yuan Shu's army came to attack. The people have long been apprehensive. Run and tell each other. When Liu Yao conscripted Minzhuang to defend the city. Actually, there was a situation in which a hundred responses were heard. If this situation reaches Liu Xin's ears. He must yell again. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
Liu Bei was actually very depressed. He does have the idea of preserving strength. But no matter what he thinks of a solution. As the siege party. Casualties are always inevitable. It's been almost a month. His 50,000 horses also lost more than 10,000. But he had no choice. He has nowhere to go. Can only persevere hard. See if you can find a chance to escape.
Hard work pays off. Liu Bei finally waited for Yuan Shu's order to summon him back to his teacher. and. Liu Bei also bribed messengers sent by Yuan Shu. Inquire about an important news. The Runan Yellow Turban rebelled. Transfer him back this time. It is very likely to let him quell the chaos. This is the opportunity Liu Bei has been waiting for. Since the Yunan Yellow Turban rebellion has made Yuan Shu helpless. Then he can take advantage of this opportunity to occupy Runan. I believe Yuan Shu must have no choice but to take him. Although there is only one county in Runan. But in Liu Bei's eyes. That is the foundation for him to fight for the world.
Liu Bei said nothing. Quickly handed over defense to Ji Ling. Bringing the remaining 35,000 Xuzhou army to Lujiang. It doesn't go far. A group of people sprang up halfway. Jian Yong is the leader.
original. Liu Bei did not bring all his men to Lujiang. Instead, five thousand people were left to Jian Yong's leadership. Has been hiding in the nearby mountains and forests. These people were when Liu Bei was under Tao Qian. The secretly recruited group of private soldiers. It is also Liu Bei's most loyal army. It was Liu Bei's second hand.
In fact. Liu Bei and Jianyong have always maintained close contact. and so. When Liu Bei handed over military affairs to Ji Ling. Jian Yong had already been sent. Let him lead someone to wait here. This is a great opportunity to escape the cage. Liu Bei naturally would not leave Jian Yong, who was loyal to him.
Jian Yong received Liu Bei. Seeing all the cronies around. Then he handed over and said: "Lord. Let's go to Lujiang. The subordinates think. Yuan Shujuan will not easily let the lord lead the troops alone. It is necessary to think of a perfect strategy. Only by gaining Yuan Shu's trust."
Liu Bei let his horse go slowly. After a long silence, he said, "Yuan Shu is greedy and ambivalent. He is also very ambitious. To gain his trust. Unless you give him a generous gift. Now I am waiting outside. I don't have any long objects. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win his favor."
Jian Yong nodded. Said: "The lord's concern is extremely. Ordinary things are indeed difficult to enter his eyes. Unless it is a treasure that he can't resist."
treasure. Liu Bei's brows suddenly frowned. Can't help but poke his hands into his arms. In his arms is the jade seal that passes on the country. It can definitely be regarded as a peerless treasure. Liu Bei takes this treasure with him wherever he goes. It is more important than his life. At that time Liu Bei obtained the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo. Jian Yong is not by the side. Only he and Guan Yu knew about this. of course. With Guan Yu completely surrendered to Liu Xin. Now Liu Xin also knows that this Chuanguo Yuxi is on Liu Bei's body.
Liu Bei believes. If you give this piece of Chuanguo Yuxi to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu will definitely give him absolute trust. Let him lead his troops to Runan to quell the chaos by himself. but. This jade seal was not easy to come by. Liu Bei also wants to use it one day to call on the world's heroes. achive dreams. He is really reluctant.
Jian Yong followed Liu Bei for many years. The understanding of Liu Bei even surpassed Liu Bei himself. He saw the look on Liu Bei's face change. I knew that Liu Bei must have something that could impress Yuan Shu. I could not help saying: "Lord. At this critical juncture. I hope that the lord will take the overall situation as the most important. As long as the world is captured in the future, there is nothing to get."
Liu Bei listened. Poran woke up. Take out the jade seal from his arms. Pass it to Jian Yong. Said: "Xianhe. What do you think of this thing."
