Chapter 282
After accepting Cheng Gongying's suggestion, without any delay, Han Sui immediately ordered all the soldiers of Zu Li to assemble without any delay. The next morning, he hurried down towards Linjing City, and Han Sui assembled nearly The [-] troops vowed to level the city of Linjing.

In fact, Yang Qiu has been paying attention to Han Sui's army's movements for a long time. When Han Sui's forward army came to a place a hundred miles away from Linjing City, Yang Qiu had already got the news, but he was not afraid, but He showed the quality of a good general, and with the help of Du Xi, he arranged defenses in an orderly manner.

A few days later, Han Sui led the army to the city and shouted to the top of the city: "Yang Qiu, the traitor, why don't you surrender to me quickly? I think I can spare your dog's life because of my old love. Otherwise, once our army ascends the city, you will definitely die."

"Hmph, General Han Yue, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Since I have decided to belong to the big man, I will not change my mind. We are now enemies and not friends. There is nothing to say between you and me. I, Yang Autumn blood can bleed and my head can be broken, but if I want to surrender, it is impossible, let’s not talk nonsense, the big knife in my hand is already hungry and thirsty, you can attack if you have the ability!"

Yang Qiu resolutely rejected Han Sui's persuasion to surrender, which made Han Sui furious immediately, and said sharply: "Since you are so obsessed with obsession, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. Pass my order, and the soldiers of the three armies will immediately attack the city." , after the city is broken, let us rob and kill wantonly for three days!"

"Aww..." After hearing Han Sui's order, everyone cheered loudly, the morale of the army immediately rose, and then started to attack the city with howls.

At the same time, Yang Qiu shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the city: "Soldiers, in front of us are vicious enemies who want to slaughter all the people in my city, and behind us are our homes and the people in the city. Parents, wives and children, in order to ensure that they will not be raped and slaughtered by the bandits, we have no way out now, but fight to the death!"

Every time Yang Qiu patrolled to a part of the city, he shouted loudly like this, and in the end his voice became hoarse, but he didn't bother to take a sip of water, and he still shouted loudly like this, trying to resist to the end. The determination was conveyed to every soldier.

But Du Xi, the county lieutenant, took the lead and led the soldiers under his command to guard against danger. At this time, his "defense against danger" skill played a role. Facing nearly five times the force, the guards guarded the city without fear of death and defended bravely. city.

At the beginning, relying on their well-prepared defensive equipment, they launched a frantic counterattack against the attacking enemy troops. Rolling logs, rocks, bows and arrows, etc. seemed to be free of money, and poured down on the attacking enemy troops one after another. .

This kind of powerful counterattack naturally caused a lot of casualties to the enemy. Just half an hour into the war, Han Sui's army and horses had already suffered nearly 2000 casualties. Such damage even made Han Sui a little frightened.

"Damn Yang Qiu, I originally spent a huge sum of money to build these city defense equipment for him, with the purpose of asking him to help me stop Liu He, but now I didn't expect that all of them were affiliated with the enemy and used by this guy to deal with our army. This If I capture Yang Qiu once, I will cut him into pieces!"

Facing such a strong counterattack, Han Sui not only did not waver in his determination to attack the city, but instead ordered the army to continue to step up the attack. Anyone who slacked off would be dealt with according to military law.

"There are few thieves, and although the defensive equipment seems to be sufficient, in fact they only prepared for more than a month, and later used up a lot when Liu He attacked. We only need to attack for two days at most. Their defensive equipment It will be completely consumed, and at that time, let's see how they will defend?"

On the one hand, Han Sui strictly ordered the army to continue attacking, and on the other hand, he continued to think of ways to boost morale.

And his sergeants really did not live up to his expectations, even those warlords who did not belong to him were fighting very bravely. Good at, plus Han Sui has always been very prestigious in Liangzhou, plus now everyone's lips are dead, if they don't work together, what awaits them is only to perish, so they are all very brave, without the slightest cheating.

However, even so, they still did not weaken the courage of the defenders in the slightest. Facing an enemy that was several times their own, they would rather die than surrender, risking their lives to guard the city in front of them and the homeland behind them.

In just one day, the defenders suffered nearly 3000 casualties, which is nearly [-]% of the city's strength!Such heavy casualties made the defenders feel very heavy, but they didn't care about grief at all. When the enemy army retreated, they repaired the city overnight and rushed to build defensive equipment. During this period, the prefect Yang Qiu didn't stop He ran back and forth, while the trusted county lieutenant Du Xi had been guarding the front line. In just one day, all the officers and men, including An Ding's prefect Yang Qiu, were deeply impressed by this new county lieutenant. Unexpectedly, such a person who looks like a frail scholar is actually so tenacious. This day, he was shot three times by arrows, and once a feathered arrow was shot on his thigh. His body was soaked in blood, but he still bit his teeth Without saying a word, he continued to lead the army to fight in person on the top of the city. On this day alone, hundreds of enemy soldiers died in his hands.

Of course, the defenders also caused heavy casualties to the enemy. In one day, nearly [-] people under Han Sui's command lost their combat capabilities. From this aspect, the defenders can be said to have achieved brilliant results. , However, this has widened the gap between the enemy and us, coupled with the significant reduction in defense equipment, it is estimated that the situation on the battlefield tomorrow will be even more severe.

"Hey, what's the big deal? At most, we'll all die in battle. Our heads fell off, but there's a scar the size of a bowl. After 18 years, we'll all be good guys again. There's nothing to say about this battle, it's just death." A general under Yang Qiu's command named Chen Li was full of pride and laughed loudly.

But Du Xi shouted: "Stupid! It doesn't matter if we die, but what about the people behind us? What about our parents, wives and children? Therefore, we will naturally fight to the death in this battle, but it doesn't mean that it's over if we die. , even if we die, we must die without losing the city of Linjing. Now it is estimated that the lord can almost capture the four counties of Hexi, and if we persist for another seven or eight days at most, the lord's army will arrive. It is estimated that Beidi County will choose to surrender in these two days. In this way, we will welcome reinforcements from Beidi. The two reinforcements will arrive together. I believe that as long as we stick to them until they arrive, we will be able to ensure that Linjing City will not be lost. "

"What Du Junwei said is true, but how can we stick to it for seven or eight days? This is only one day, and we have suffered so many casualties. If this continues, I am afraid that within five days, the entire army will be wiped out." At that time, we still won't be able to defend Linjing City." Chen Li said with a helpless wry smile, his face full of anxiety.

"I have a plan to make Han Sui retreat temporarily." Du Xi smiled lightly, looked at Chen Li and said.
