Chapter 62
At the hour of the second day, the army began to bury pots and cook food, crossed the Qinghe River from Jieqiao at a moment, and marched towards Linxi County, which was twenty miles away from Qinghe River.
Linxi County is the same as Jiecheng, the two cities are [-] miles away from Jieqiao, and they are the strategic points of Qinghe Kingdom and Anping County. If Linxi City is lost, Qinghe Kingdom will have no danger to defend.
There is also a big city Guangzong a hundred miles behind Jiecheng, which is one of the three strategically important places in Julu County. The other two strategically important places are Junzhi Guangtao and Dacheng Julu.
When attacking Linxi County here, Gongsun Zan almost went out in full force, dispatching [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, leaving only [-] infantry and thousands of cavalry to defend the city. The three brothers Liu Guanzhang, Gongsun Fan, and Zhao Yun also participated in the attack. .
"Xuande, the first battle was completed by the three of you brothers, and you took [-] infantry to conduct a tentative attack!"
"Yes, General!"
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei took orders to go, and the three of them led 1000 infantry and began to attack the city. Unfortunately, they lost more than [-] people without even touching the wall.
"General, there are arrows raining down on the city wall. The brothers have lost more than [-]% of the brothers in just one attack. It is not an option to continue attacking like this!"
Gongsun Zan, who was observing with the help of a telescope, naturally saw clearly the battle situation under Linxi City. The defenders of Linxi City did not count the arrow attacks, and had to spend their soldiers to capture it.
"Xuande, the defenders of Linxi City did not hesitate to shoot arrows, which shows that they have no confidence, continue to attack, and maintain pressure on Linxi City!
Second brother, bring out your god-arm crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows, as well as your dozens of trebuchets, to cover Xuande and the others from attacking the city! "
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was determined to gnaw away the hard bone of Linxi City, Gongsun Yue couldn't say much, and sent the first army of Youwu pawns up.
"General Han, don't be stingy with the arrows. Let Yuan Shao experience the power of my soldiers. The tiger and leopard cavalry are ready to respond to prevent the defenders from leaving the city to destroy the crossbows and trebuchets!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Han Qinhu led five thousand secluded soldiers forward, one thousand infantry in the front line held giant shields for defense, thousands of god-armed crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows stood behind, and dozens of trebuchets were behind.
The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Li Cunxiao and Di Qing were ready to attack at any time. If they could lure Yuan Shao's army out of the city, the goal of the field battle would be achieved.
Seeing this, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had no choice but to continue to attack the city with their infantry, while the Youwu pawns started to shoot at the defenders on the city. The pawn finally got close to the wall.
As the ladder climbed up the city wall, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei held their shields and shot arrows to attack the city, but halfway through the attack, they were thrown down the ladder by rolling logs and stones thrown from the city wall.
"hiss"
Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei being knocked down, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but gasped. Fortunately, the two were brave and only suffered minor injuries.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei continued to climb the ladder to attack the city. After three consecutive times, they were still unable to climb the city wall. Most of the [-] infantry were lost, and the morale of the army was already lost.
"Send another [-] infantry to replenish our troops, we must keep attacking!"
Gongsun Zan gave an order, and another [-] infantry stepped forward. The battle lasted until [-]:[-] noon, but there was still no real effect. They didn't even climb to the top of the city, but the arrows of the defenders in the city were quite exhausted.
"Brother, the defenders in the city consume a lot of arrows, and our arrow consumption is not small, such an attack of such intensity will not last long.
In just one attack in the morning, the loss of troops has already exceeded 5000. If you want to exhaust their arrows, you may have to lose more than half of your infantry. "
After listening to Gongsun Yue's words, Gongsun Zan's face turned livid, and he pondered whether to advance or retreat. Returning in vain like this is really embarrassing.
"Second brother, continue to attack after eating. If you still can't get to the top of the city today, then the siege is over for now!"
Gongsun Zan didn't stop talking. After lunch, he continued to attack for an hour and a half, taking in another [-] pawns, but still no one climbed to the top of the wall.
After one day of continuous assault, one-third of the infantry was lost. Apart from consuming the arrows of the defenders in the city, no other practical results were achieved. Although Gongsun Zan was angry, he also knew that further attacks would demoralize the troops.
"Second brother, didn't you recruit [-] Black Mountain troops, how about sending them up tomorrow and continuing to attack the city?
These are only the prisoners of the Black Mountain Army. If the arrows of the defenders in the city are exhausted, then I am sure that Linxi City will be captured! "
Seeing that Gongsun Zan had come up with such a bad idea, the third and fourth armies of Youwu soldiers who had incorporated him were improper people. If he really did this, the impact would be extremely bad.
"Brother, the integration of the third army and the fourth army of Youwu soldiers is still short, and they have not yet formed an effective combat force. Sending them to attack the city now is pure death.
Now that they have already surrendered, they should be treated equally now. If the words of the elder brother just spread to their ears, there may be troubles again, so we must be cautious about this matter! "
"Second brother, we have an agreement. The Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will share equally. Now, you have [-] secluded soldiers, and you have [-] for my brother. Is there any objection?"
Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Gongsun Yue's face gradually became gloomy, and it took a long time before he regained his composure.
"Brother, this is our agreement. Brother naturally has no objection. I will bring the fourth army of Youwu pawns tomorrow, and you will continue to organize the siege!"
After Gongsun Yue finished speaking, Dama led the Wushuang battalion towards Jiecheng, and went straight to the camp set up outside the city.
"Yuan Kai, you have seen what happened today. Thinking of sending them to die tomorrow, I feel ashamed to see Zaixing and Guan Hai!"
"General, you don't need to come forward to this matter, the lower officials will tell them that they will be willing to attack the city tomorrow!"
Seeing that Du Yu could solve this headache for himself, Gongsun Yue finally felt better, and didn't ask much about the specific process.
At si o'clock on the second day, Guan Hai brought the Fourth Army of Youwu soldiers to Linxi City, and Gongsun Zan's army was ready.
"Xuande, your three brothers will attack the city today. General Guan will cooperate with you. We must capture Linxi City today!"
"Yes, General!"
The three of Liu Bei didn't hesitate, Guan Hai took a look at Du Yu and followed Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with five thousand soldiers.
This day's siege battle started at Si time and continued until [-]:[-] noon. Five thousand soldiers were lost again, but the good news is that they finally made it to the top of the city.
Although they were finally beaten back by the defenders in the city, the morale of the whole army was high. After all, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before Linxi City is taken.
"Second brother, have you seen it? If you continue like this, you may be able to capture Linxi City this afternoon. The combat effectiveness of your fourth army of Youwu soldiers is not weak at all!"
