Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 573 Ye arranges this matter immediately!
"Report..., Eunuch, there is a change in Zhu Wei's barracks outside the north gate, it seems that they are preparing to cross the river to attack the city! Please also go to the north gate to have a look!"

It turned out that the guard at the north gate discovered that Zhu Wei's army seemed to be building a pontoon bridge on the Wanhe River, and there was also a movement of a large army preparing to send troops in the rear. He was worried that Zhu Wei's army at the north gate would also launch an attack on the city. up.

So the guard at the north gate didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to Liu Xun, hoping that Liu Xun could send him reinforcements.

Liu Xun's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but glanced at Liu Ye. It seemed that Liu Ye had hit the mark again. Maybe Zhu Wei's army was really attacking.

"Okay, let's take a quick look, um, send another [-] soldiers and [-] young men to go with us!"

In the end, Liu Xun still didn't dare to be negligent, so he transferred some troops from the south gate, and rushed directly to the north gate. Now he has only about [-] troops left at the north gate, and he is really worried that he will be killed Zhu Wei's army raided and broke through.

On the contrary, Liu Ye's expression changed. He was talking casually, but he didn't expect Zhu Wei's army to make such a move. He just cocked his mouth slightly after thinking about it. He knew that the north gate was probably just a false alarm. Just one game.

Then Liu Xun led his men and the army to the direction of the north gate. Sure enough, there were nearly ten thousand Zhuwei troops constructing pontoon bridges on the Wanhe River about four or five miles away from the city gate. They are auxiliary soldiers, and there are still [-] to [-] troops in Zhu Wei's army stronghold in the rear, eating and preparing for battle.

I don't know what method Lu Su used to let his [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers make such a large scale. Looking from the wall of the north gate of Wan County, there is really no flaw.

This inevitably made Liu Xun, who was watching from the upper gate of the city gate, bewildered, "How many troops did Zhu Wei bring this time, and why are there so many soldiers hiding here? Alas, how good is this! "

Originally, Liu Xun thought that he had [-] troops on his side plus [-] young and strong guarding the city, which was considered a large number of troops, and the power to defend the city was sufficient.

But half of the soldiers were lost in the first battle yesterday. Looking at the size of Zhu Wei's army today, it seems that there are [-] to [-] troops at the south gate, and now there are [-] to [-] troops outside the north gate.

Such a scale of troops really frightened Liu Xun. He felt that he really underestimated Zhu Wei's determination to attack Lujiang.

With the current size of Zhu Wei's army, it is absolutely possible to attack the city from the north and the south at the same time. With the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's soldiers attacking the city today, Liu Xun felt that the remaining troops in his hands were not enough. Thinking of this, he once again turned his attention to his counselors, General, I hope to get some encouragement and support from them.

But even Liu Xun has no confidence in his heart, so how can his subordinates have confidence.

Many people looked at the size of Zhu Wei's army outside the city, and their expressions changed, but Liu Ye frowned, and said to Liu Xun seemingly sincerely, "Liu Gong, it seems that the north gate has to be guarded now. Previously, the terrain constraints outside the North Gate prevented Zhu Wei's army from attacking the city, but now if he waited to build a pontoon bridge on the Wanhe River, then Zhu Wei's army would definitely be able to line up on the river bank and use the pontoon bridge to cross the river. The north gate can also be a threat! So we are at the north gate, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it! If there are no five thousand defenders here, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the attack of Zhu Wei's army! Well, according to Yi Ye, it is better to draw three Let’s use a thousand upright soldiers as the base, and let’s deploy four thousand young men as supplementary ones!”

"Zi Yang is right! Well, let's arrange it like this! Alas, it's a pity that so many troops were wasted in vain yesterday. If there were still more than ten thousand troops lost yesterday, it wouldn't be so easy! "

Liu Xun once again lamented the loss of troops yesterday, and at the same time looked in the direction of Shu County to the north of Wan County, and said to Liu Ye, "Zi Yang, it seems that we need to send someone to send an order to Liu Kai to send troops to help. Otherwise, I'm afraid Wan County won't be able to wait for Shouchun's reinforcements!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, this matter will be arranged immediately!"

Liu Ye seemed to solemnly agree, but he was thinking in his heart that if what happened tonight came to fruition, maybe he would use this to transfer Liu Xie to Wan County to die.

Then Liu Xun watched the progress of Zhu Wei's army building a pontoon bridge on the Wan River over there. For the time being, he was not worried that Zhu Wei's army would come to attack the city immediately, but he was also worried that Zhu Wei's army would attack the north gate at night, so he ordered at the north gate After arranging for a while, he returned to the Yamen Temple in the city, and discussed with his subordinates again the specific matters of the defense of the city.

In this way, the time passed little by little, and soon the sky darkened. There were scouts from the south gate of Wan County to report back. The cavalry of Zhu Wei's army wandering outside the south gate seemed to have retreated, so Liu Xun asked Liu Ye to arrange He was preparing to take the soldiers in the military fort outside the south gate back to the city.

At about nine or ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Ye personally brought more than a thousand soldiers who belonged to Chaohu thieves to the south gate, and asked the generals who were on duty at night to open the inner gate and the outer gate. .

And the general on duty didn't have much doubt. After all, Liu Ye had the general order given by Liu Xun in his hand, and some of the soldiers guarding the city tonight belonged to Liu Ye's trilogy composed of soldiers who were originally Chaohu thieves. I would have thought that Liu Ye would have something different.

Not long after, the gate of the inner urn city of Wan County was opened first, and then another general who looked like a mighty figure beside Liu Ye walked out with more than a thousand people, as if to meet the soldiers in the fortress outside the city.

As for Liu Ye, he didn't go out with him, but took more than 20 guards to the gate tower, and seemed to be waiting for the soldiers in the fort outside to return with the general Liu Xun who was on duty.

However, after Liu Ye climbed the city wall, several guards under him quietly left to gather those who were on duty on the city wall, and then these people all gathered towards Liu Ye.

It's just that Liu Xun's general on duty still doesn't have much doubt. In fact, not far from the city gate is Liu Xun's garrison in the city. Although a lot of troops have been transferred to the north gate, there are at least three to four thousand people stationed there. Here.

Therefore, if something happened at the city gate, the soldiers in the garrison would naturally rush to support it as soon as possible.

Relatively speaking, the city gate is naturally very safe, and at this moment Liu Ye also assumed the status of a military adviser next to Liu Xun, deliberately pulling the general of Liu Xun who was on duty at night to teach some words at the city gate, see Waking up made him beware of the possibility of a sneak attack by Zhu Wei's army at night, so how could it make people doubt anything.

At this time, as the soldiers around Liu Ye entered the fortress outside the city, there seemed to be some shouts inside, as if some fighting happened there.

"Sir, but I heard the movement outside, so there must be something wrong there!"

Liu Xun, who was on duty at night, cast a suspicious glance over there, and then asked Liu Ye in a deliberative manner...
