Call of the Deer

Chapter 547 Soldiers approach the city, Gaosu Beitou

In the following month, under the command of Xiang Yu Wushuang, Yu Wenyong and Gao Su's coalition forces retreated steadily, and they were no match for the Chu army at all;

Under the pincer attack from the north and the south by Overlord Xiang Yu and Heavenly King Ran Min, the coalition forces of Yu Wenyong and Gao Su retreated to the east of Qiongzhou and huddled in Leizhou.

In Leizhou city, Yu Wenyong and Gao Su looked worried and gathered a group of officials to discuss how to resist the enemy.

"Brother Yuwen, this time Xiang Yu is coming aggressively, and he will not stop until Leizhou is destroyed. We must think of a way out."

At this moment, Gao Su has no hope of being able to defend Zhenlei City. His hundreds of thousands of troops are no match for the tens of thousands of Chu troops;
But this time the Chu army's tens of thousands of soldiers came to the city, and if they could hold it, it would be like God's eyes.

"Oh, I regret that I listened to Cao Cao's estrangement plan at the beginning. Now, there is no way out for you and me. There is only one way to go!" Yu Wenyong sighed, looking quite lonely and remorseful.

"That way? Could it be?" Telling Wenyan's eyes brightened, and then dimmed again.

Gao Su knew that Yu Wenyong planned to lead his army to defect to the Hu Kou. After all, he had half of the blood of the Hu people, but he couldn't do it. He was a Han Chinese through and through, and he had a deep hatred with the Hu people. Even if he wanted to, the Hu people would not Accept him.

"Brother Gao, you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If we divide, we will harm both, and if we join together, we will benefit. With the power of the two of us, the barbarians will never dare to underestimate you and me. Please, Brother Gao, take advantage of the overall situation." It's important."

The fact that Yu Wenyong wins over Gao Su like this is naturally not because of the deep friendship between the two of them. Although he believes that he has the blood of Hu people, he dare not guarantee it.

And once Gao Su advances and retreats with him, even if the Hu people want to deal with him, they have to consider whether it is worthwhile to do so.

"Hey, brother Yuwen, please allow Gao to think about it. After all, this matter is a bit serious. Gao must think about it for his clansmen."

Gao Su didn't know about Yu Wenyong's little plan, but now, he doesn't care about that much.
At this moment, the Chu army had already set up camp outside Zhenlei City, gathered in the camp of the Chinese army, and discussed the matter of conquering Zhenlei City.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from the spies, there are as many as 13 bandits in the city. If we attack by force, our army will suffer a lot of losses."

Zhang Liang sat in the second place from the lower left of Xiang Yu, clasped his hands and detailed the information about Zhenlei City one by one, judging from his words, it seemed that he did not advocate forcible attack.

"Yafu, how do you think we can conquer Zhenlei City?" Xiang Yu glanced at Zhang Liang, then looked at Fan Zeng, and asked Fan Zeng for advice.

"Your Majesty, the law of war says: surround it ten times, attack it five times, and divide it twice. The army in the city is equal to our army, so it is not suitable to attack by force. Our army only needs to call formations every day and make tentative attacks. When the time comes, the thieves If the army cannot withstand the pressure, it will definitely break down without attacking. The most important thing now is to stabilize Qiongzhou, and not let the barbarians take advantage of the opportunity, this will be a great harm."

Fan Zeng closed his eyes and opened his eyes when he heard the words, glanced at Zhang Liang, nodded slightly, then looked at Xiang Yu, and expressed his opinion.

"Yafu's words are right and Guyi, Guyi will pass the order!" Xiang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he flattered him.

Fan Zeng also rolled his eyes, thinking that you are a fool, you only know how to fight and kill, plus Xiang Liang's revenge, how could you think so far?

"Yang Zaixing, Zhong Limei, and Yu Ziqi listen to the order and order the three of you to take turns calling formation and leading the army to attack from tomorrow, and we must not let the bandit army have a moment of rest."

"Gao Chong listened to the order and ordered you to be the general who conquered, lead the army to stabilize the rear, and conquer disobedient ministers!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The generals came out to take orders after hearing the words, Yang Zaixing and the others looked at Gao Chong with a trace of sympathy in their eyes; and Gao Chong also had a trace of bitter smile.

And Xiang Yu's face was as usual, but looking at his behavior, it can be seen that he is no longer the scheming person he used to be.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Zaixing was ordered to go to battle. He led [-] cavalry, and the soldiers approached the city.

"Grandchildren in the city, do you still want to continue to be turtles? If you have the ability to come out and fight your grandpa for three hundred rounds, dare you?"

"A group of bastards dare not face your grandpa. It's really embarrassing to me."

Yang Zaixing rode his horse back and forth, holding a jug of wine in his hand, when he felt parched, he would take a good sip, and the defenders in the city were envious.

Naturally, Gao Su and Yu Wenyong also knew about Yang Zaixing's insults and shouting outside the city, but they were helpless, sending anyone out to fight would be like sending them to death.

After all, this Yang Zaixing is one of the top three generals under the Overlord's command. He is extremely desperate in battles, and has always been a desperate character.

After yelling and scolding for more than two hours, Yang Zaixing felt quite bored seeing that no one dared to respond, so he led the army and went straight to work.

This time, the thieves in the city were caught off guard, and within half an hour, Yang Zaixing killed them on the city wall.

Fortunately, Gao Su and Yu Wenyong came to their senses and sent heavy troops to surround and kill Yang Zaixing. Although Yang Zaixing was desperate, he was not stupid. Seeing that he couldn't break through, he could only be driven off with his tail between his legs.
It was night, Yang Zaixing made a comeback, launched an attack suddenly in the middle of the night, once again relied on his bravery to kill the city wall, making the bandit army frightened, but unfortunately the hero couldn't hold back the crowd and was driven down again.

On the second day, the Chu army followed the same pattern and sent Zhong Limo to lead the army to call for battle. The bandit army still did not dare to respond, and then Zhongli Mo became angry and led the army to attack the city, making the bandit army nervous and dare not relax at all.

On the third day, Yu Ziqi, a general of the Chu army, went out to battle. He rode his horse outside the city and scolded the bandits for their shamelessness.
For more than ten days in a row, the defenders in the city were harassed by the Chu army, did not get a good night's sleep, were listless, and had no spirit in their eyes.

In contrast to the Chu army, it was expected that the bandit army would not dare to go out of the city to attack the camp. Instead, they were full of energy and momentum, expecting the Overlord to lead them into the city, killing all directions and making great achievements.

In Zhenlei City, Yu Wenyong and Gao Su, with dark circles under their eyes, gathered together again to discuss major issues. Facing the non-stop harassment of the Chu army, they had no choice but dared not ignore the Chu army.

"Brother Gao, make a decision early. Our army is already exhausted by attacking the city every day and night. Once the Chu army attacks the city, I'm afraid our army will not be able to defend it. Don't forget, Xiang Yu And its 72 guards haven't been dispatched yet."

At this time, Yu Wenyong had made up his mind to go to the Hu people, and he had no intention of defending the city, so he picked up Gao Su again.

"Well, no matter what, at this point, I have nowhere to go, I can only rely on Brother Yuwen."

Faced with the pressure from Xiang Yu and Yu Wenyong, he could only compromise. After all, hiding in Zhenlei City is not an option. Not to mention Xiang Yu, I am afraid that Yu Wenyong will jump the wall in a hurry. If there is an assassination, I am afraid that he will not see It was the sun of the second day.

"Hehe, as long as brother Gao advances and retreats with me, even a mere barbarian will not dare to show you and me."

Seeing Gao Su's compromise, Yu Wenyong had a smile on his face, and a stone in his heart was finally let go.

"I don't know when Brother Yuwen plans to go north, this matter must not be delayed"

Gao Su no longer cares about whether this guy's plot succeeds, and his fear of Xiang Yu has already almost driven him crazy.

"It's not too late. Let's go north tonight. In order to prevent the Chu army from finding out, we must wait." Yu Wenyong also knew the truth that if you stay for a long time, you will lose. In order to prevent things from changing again, you can only set off immediately.

"Well, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only sacrifice them. I hope they can understand." Gao Su frowned when he heard this, and then relaxed, looking sad and ashamed.

That night, Yu Wenyong probed Yu Wentai and Gao Changgong to the end. Gao Xiaoguan led an army of [-] to go out of the city to attack the Chu army.

Unprepared, the Chu army was caught off guard and started a fierce fight with the bandit army.

Xiang Yu was extremely furious when he heard the words, he was always the one who attacked others, this Gao Su was so daring, he dared to go out of the city to attack the camp, he deserved death.

"Yu'er, stay safe and don't be impatient. Gao Su and Yu Wenyong have sent a large army to attack at this time. I'm afraid things won't be that simple."

Fan Zeng stopped the furious Xiang Yu with a drink, frowned slightly, thinking in his heart what the two guys wanted to do.

"It doesn't matter how simple he is, tonight I will swear to destroy Zhenlei City and cut off the heads of these two thieves!" Although Xiang Yu respected Fan Zeng, his killing intent was so high at this time that he couldn't care less.

"Yu'er, Gao Su and Yu Wenyong are attacking the camp at this moment, I'm afraid they are going to defect to Hu Kou!" Fan Zeng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"What? Dedicated to Hu Kou? How is this possible?"

Xiang Yu was very surprised when he heard the words, he never thought that Yu Wenyong's rebellion was because he was of Hu people's blood, and he was afraid of attracting Xiang Yu's autumn queen to settle accounts, so he rebelled.

"Hey, these two thieves have nowhere to go now. If they don't join the barbarians, they can only die. After all, if they join the enemy, there may still be a glimmer of life!"

Fan Zeng has a deep understanding of people's hearts, and he knows Gao Su's intentions when he thinks about it.

"Hmph, wanting to go to the barbarians is nothing but a dream. Where is the black dragon cavalry? Follow me to chase the bandit army and never let anyone go."

How could Xiang Yu let go of the two thieves, Gao Su and Yu Wenyong, for no reason. These two were already at the top of his must-kill list.

Then Xiang Yu led [-] black dragon cavalry, took advantage of the darkness, and pursued towards the north
After Yang Zaixing wiped out the bandit army that attacked the camp, Xingye launched a siege, and captured Zhenlei City in less than half an hour. (to be continued!)
