Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 262
Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er led the army to withdraw to Shanyang City. As soon as they entered the city gate, Zhang Ji shouted: "Close the city gate and let the arrows go!"

Following Zhang Ji's order, the gates of the city were closed immediately, and the suspension bridge was pulled into the air. The sharp arrows shot down from the city wall temporarily forced Yan Liang's army back.

Zhang Ji came to the city wall, looked at the black army outside, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't seem to relax at all.

Hu Che'er also came to the side and said: "Don't worry, General, Yan Liang will never attack."

Zhang Ji shook his head, and said: "Yan Liang is the general under Yuan Shao's tent. This time, he must not be underestimated. The city wall of Shanyang is low and the moat is shallow. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist for a long time."

"As long as the lord's reinforcements invited by the Major General arrive, are you afraid that he will fail? Even if Yuan Shao comes personally, it's fine!" Hu Che'er said.

Zhang Ji sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't last that long."

The two were discussing defensive countermeasures above the city wall, while Yan Liang was thinking hard about how to break the city below the city.

Seeing the not-so-wide moat outside Shanyang City, Yan Liang shouted, "Come here, transport soil to fill up the moat!"

As soon as the military order was issued, part of the army was immediately dispatched to transport soil and stones.

Although the effect of pouring soil into the river cannot be seen immediately, there are many people who can't stand Yan Liang, and these soldiers are pouring soil and filling stones into the moat continuously, which is definitely not a good thing for Zhang Ji.

"Fire the arrow!" Zhang Ji shouted hastily.

There was another wave of arrows raining on the city wall, and the soldiers who came to fill the moat had no time to escape, and they were shot by arrows one after another and fell into the river.

Yan Liang saw it, snorted coldly, and shouted: "Cover with a shield!"

Afterwards, the soldiers continued to pour soil and fill stones into the moat with their shields on their backs, but Zhang Ji's bow and arrow had no effect at all.

"General, what should we do?" Hu Che'er said anxiously.

Zhang Ji's brows were already knit into a ball at this time, and he said, "Stone throwing!"

As soon as the words fell, some soldiers brought some crude trebuchets. They said it was a trebuchet, but it was actually a simple lever.

One person is responsible for filling the rocks, and two are responsible for launching. Although the range is not far, it is enough because it is on the city wall.

Stones are different from bows and arrows. After bows and arrows are shot on the shield, they will not cause any damage, but if the stone hits the shield, it will kill people.

Sure enough, with this simple trebuchet, Yan Liang's sergeants began to suffer casualties again, but this was really nothing to the army.

Although the moat of Shanyang City is neither wide nor deep, it is not easy to fill it up in a short period of time.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, it was getting late, Yan Liang ordered that the troops should be withdrawn by Ming Jin, and they would fight again tomorrow.

The next day, Zhang Ji still held on to the city, waiting for reinforcements, while Yan Liang still ordered his soldiers to fill the moat with their shields on their backs.

After a day of hard work, the filling of the moat is still very effective. At this rate, it will be completely filled within two days. At that time, relying only on the city walls of Shanyang City may not be able to withstand Yan Liang's army of.

After two days like this, Zhang Ji's frown became more and more tight. According to the time calculation, even if the reinforcements from Jinyang could not arrive, the reinforcements from Luoyang and Shangdang should have arrived.

It should be tomorrow, however, the moat had already been filled during the day, but Yan Liang saw that it was getting dark, so he called for money to withdraw his troops.

Tomorrow morning, Yan Liang will come to attack the city, relying on Shanyang City, can he persist until the reinforcements arrive?
Zhang Ji was full of doubts.

"General, it looks like Yan Liang will attack the city tomorrow!" Hu Che'er said.

Zhang Ji nodded and said, "That's right, a section of the moat has been filled up, and the city will definitely be attacked tomorrow morning."

"Then what will Yan Liang's soldiers do tonight?" Hu Che'er asked.

Zhang Ji said impatiently: "What else can I do? Of course I should go to sleep and recharge my energy, so I can conquer Shanyang City in one fell swoop tomorrow!"

"Then why didn't the general go to attack the camp before tonight?" Hu Che'er said again.

Hearing Hu Che'er's words, Zhang Ji's eyes lit up, he thought about it carefully, and said, "That's right! Although Yan Liang is brave, he is brave and lacks plan. I am going to rob the camp tonight!"

After the discussion was over, Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er went to gather troops and horses. At [-] o'clock in the morning, they led [-] elite soldiers, went out of the city gate, and headed for Yan Liang's camp.

Along the way, horses with their feet bound and people with their heads in their mouths got closer and closer to Yan Liang's camp. At this time, a dark cloud covered the moonlight, making the surroundings even darker.

Zhang Ji looked up at the sky, and thought, God will help me tonight, and I will break Yan Liang!
When approaching Yan Liang's camp, he saw that the camp was quiet, obviously the soldiers in the camp were not prepared.

Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er looked at each other, nodded, and shouted: "Kill the thief!"

Then, Hu Che'er took the lead, swung the heavy iron mace in his hand, and rushed towards the gate of the camp.

Click!

The horse-rejecting antlers placed at the gate of the camp were directly knocked away by Hu Che'er with a mace, and a group of soldiers behind him filed in.

The sergeant in charge of guarding the camp was finally awakened and rushed to resist. However, whether these sergeants came in a hurry were the opponents of Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er.

After repelling the soldiers guarding the camp, Zhang Ji did not hesitate and immediately ordered his soldiers to set fire.

When the fire broke out, there was a sudden chaos in the camp, Yan Liang in the tent of the Chinese army was also awakened, knowing something was wrong, he put on his armor, picked up a big knife, and walked out of the tent.

What came into view was a sea of ​​flames and soldiers running around.

Yan Liang grabbed a soldier who was running around with his head buried, and asked, "This general asks you, what happened?"

"General Qi, Zhang Ji came to rob the camp!" The soldier said in a panic.

Yan Liang frowned, and asked sharply, "How many people are here?"

"I don't know!"

"Trash!" Yan Liang was furious, and pushed the soldier to the ground, looking at the messy camp, he was furious.

Without any hesitation, Yan Liang stepped on his mount and tried to stop the panicked soldiers, but with little success.

Yan Liang was furious, he immediately slapped his horse and killed the enemies who robbed the camp. He went back and forth several times, and the big knife in his hand ruthlessly harvested dozens of people's lives.

Yan Liang's bravery finally had a deterrent effect, and Zhang Ji's sergeants couldn't help but faltered. Yan Liang also took this opportunity to gather some of his sergeants together.

Zhang Ji saw that there were not many soldiers around Yan Liang at this time, so he wanted to take this opportunity to kill the general of Jizhou to avoid future troubles.

"Come with me!" Zhang Ji shouted, and led his soldiers to kill Yan Liang.

Hu Che'er next to him was shocked when he saw it, and shouted: "General, be careful!"
