The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Wen Chou, who supported Yuan Shao, also saw Yan Liang's head, and felt sad for a moment. He and Yan Liang have a close relationship. The two have worked together for many years, and they have cultivated a deep friendship. Now they see their good brother How can I bear the head in a different place, but I still have to wait for Yuan Shao to give orders.

"Damn it, you bully people too much! You bully me too much!"

Yuan Shao didn't catch his breath, and first scolded a few words, and after hearing Wen Chou's pleading, how could he disagree.

"Wen Chou! Hurry up and kill me in the city. I want to take Guan Yu's head as a sacrifice to Yan Liang's spirit in heaven!"

Yuan Shao's order immediately made Wen Chou excited, and he was not standing beside Yuan Shao.Immediately, he picked up the long choke, rushed down the city, greeted some people, and planned to attack the city directly!

At this time, both Wen Chou and Yuan Shao were overwhelmed with anger.

On the contrary, Shen Pei, Ji Feng and the others still kept their heads clear.

"My lord, no way!"

Just after Yuan Shao gave Wen Chou the order to attack, the judge at the side immediately stopped him.

At this time, Yuan Shao was just angry, he didn't listen to what the judge said, and when he saw the judge's objection, he immediately became even more angry.

"Judge, what do you want to do? Why don't you let me watch Yan Liang die at the hands of Guan Yu, but don't complain to him? No, no, are you underestimating our army? Do you think our few Wan Dajun, can't even take down a small city of Xiapi?"

Yuan Shao just had no place to get angry, and at this time the trial match hit the choke point, which naturally became Yuan Shao's place to vent his emotions.

However, the trial match won Yuan Shao's trust, and it can be said that he was the most trusted counselor in Yuan Shao's army, even Tian Feng and Ju Shou couldn't compare.

The judge was also the one who followed Yuan Shao the longest, so even though Yuan Shao reprimanded him a few words for Yuan Shao's disposition, the judge didn't take it to heart, but continued to speak and explained a few words to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, our army has suffered a big defeat this time. General Yan Liang died, and our army has lost a lot of troops. If we forcefully attack the city, we will definitely encounter strong resistance from the enemy. It's hard to say whether we can take down Xiapi city. If we are unable to attack for a long time, we will suffer heavy losses again, and Liu Bei's reinforcements are not far away at this time, once Liu Bei's army approaches, we will be in danger!"

Yuan Shaozhi saw it, and he took down the situation of Xiapi City, and the judge saw it, in case he couldn't take down Xiapi City.

Both of them are right, it's just that the judge has more concerns, while Yuan Shao is confident.

Yuan Shao was naturally even more annoyed after hearing the words of the interrogation.

Before the battle started, the judges helped him think of what to do if he lost.

Anyone who hears such words will feel unlucky.

"Are you tired of being a judge, you are here to disturb my army's morale with your big words, and I, Yuan Benchu, can't even defeat a mere city of Xiapi. What are you calling a general? You just stand here and show me. Today, I will definitely Take down this city of Xiapi!"

After all, Yuan Shao ignored the trial and match.

Of course, the judge would not give up on this, he just wanted to continue admonishing Yuan Shao to stop the army.

But Ji Feng at the side stopped the judge.

"Brother Zhengnan is reviewing the table, don't say any more, the lord is in a fit of anger right now, no matter how much you say, it's useless, it can only offend the lord and make him unhappy!"

Ji Feng advised a trial match.

The judge took a look at Ji Feng.

"Yuan Tu Ji Feng Biao Zi, if I don't speak at this time, if our army really suffers a big defeat here, it will be too late for my lord to regret!"

The apportionment's worry is not unreasonable, Ji Feng also knows this, but now Yuan Shao can't listen to anyone, no matter how much the two of them talk, it won't help.

"Don't worry, the two of us, try our best to help the lord defend this area, and immediately send out scouts to look around to prevent Liu Bei's reinforcements from coming."

Since Yuan Shao can't be persuaded, Ji Feng and Shenpei can only do their best.

Hearing what Ji Feng said, the examiner could only sigh.

"Hey, the matter has come to this point, so we can only do what you said, Yuan Tu."

After all, Shen Pei and Ji Feng each led a part of their troops to inquire about the news nearby.

Chapter 8 The Battle of Xiapi

At the same time, Wen Chou had already led his soldiers and horses to rush towards the gate of Xiapi City.

Of the tens of thousands of troops under Yuan Shao's command, [-] were the vanguard army led by Yan Liang, and the other [-] were the main force commanded by Wen Chou.The remaining [-] are Shenpei, Ji Feng and others, and even the soldiers under Yuan Shao's own command, which are also the most elite part of the troops.

They did not lead an army of [-] at this time, and immediately rushed down to Picheng to launch a charge.

Instead, let Wen Chou's [-] troops attack the city first. Although Wen Chou's [-] soldiers and horses are not many, it is precisely because after seeing the tragic situation outside Xiapi City, these soldiers who came from Jizhou all There is some bloodiness, and they all want to avenge Yan Liang's sorrow.

So under the leadership of Wen Chou, the army quickly rushed towards the outside of Xiapi City.

Guan Yu and Sun Shao on the tower did not dare to ignore Wen Chou's attack. As Wen Chou led the charge, Sun Shao immediately began to command these people on the tower to defend the city wall.

Sun Shao was blocking the charge of Yuan's army under the city, while Guan Yu was commanding the battle on the top of the city tower, and on the other hand mobilized the people of Xiapi City in the city, hoping to rely on the people in the city to increase the possibility of defending Xiapi City.

After all, Guan Yu always had much fewer troops in his hands, and he was worried that he would not be able to defend Xiapi City.

Only by mobilizing the people in the city and increasing the number of people to defend on the towers together can we hold the city wall with greater confidence.

The troops led by Wen Chou quickly approached the city wall, and several of them had already begun to construct the catapults used for the siege.

Some men and horses are holding up ladders and other objects and are ready to charge. They will start to charge only after the catapults are built and the enemy troops on the tower are suppressed with the catapults.

A vigorous siege battle broke out at this time.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow immediately, and don't let the enemy rush over."

"Where is the fire oil prepared, throw some fire down for me to burn these enemies to death."

"It's not good. The catapult on the opposite side has been built and is ready to start projecting towards us. Be careful, everyone."

Sun Shao and Guan Yu continued to command the defenders on the city tower to deal with the Yuan army's attack below the city.

The fighting situation was very tragic, and the battle lasted for more than an hour.

In the end, the shouts and screams here gradually decreased.

A mighty siege battle, accompanied by a large number of casualties, slowly died down and came to an end.

The soldiers and horses led by Wen Chou's generals finally rushed to the tower of Xiapi City.

Under the leadership of generals who are not afraid of death.The reinforcements already have a group of dead soldiers who are not afraid of death. With them charging forward, they can be the first to rush up any tower.

It's just that this time they encountered a tough bone in Xiapi City.

Even though the dead men who climbed up the tower first failed to occupy the tower of Xiapi City, they took advantage of the situation to take down the entire Xiapi City.

Guan Yu had already prepared some knives and axemen waiting on the tower, these first ascended dead soldiers.

The moment these first ascended the dead rushed to the tower, a fierce battle broke out on the tower.

After a lot of effort, the soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu completely killed these first ascended dead soldiers.

The dead men and some Yuan Jun who rushed up the tower with great difficulty returned in vain, with huge casualties.

It took a lot of effort and failed to capture this Xiapi city.

After more than an hour.Wen Chou led the rest of the troops back into the big tent.

At this time, Yuan Shao's face was gloomy in the big tent, looking at several generals who returned without success.

Although angry, he can understand.This Xiapi city is not so easy to take down.

"Wen Chou, what's going on, didn't you say you could take down this city of Xiapi?"

Although Yuan Shao knew that this city of Xiapi was not so easy to fight.However, more than half of the 3000 troops under Wen Chou's command were killed or injured in this bloody battle.Almost the entire army was wiped out, leaving only two to three thousand people.

It took so many men and failed to take down the city of Xiapi, and the tens of thousands of horses that Yuan Jun brought over were not much left.If it is not possible to take this city directly, then it will not be so easy for Yuan Shao to take Xuzhou with his current manpower.

Based on the remaining 2 people he has now, let alone capture the entire Xuzhou.It is not easy to control these cities that have been brought down.

Once Liu Bei takes action and sends enough soldiers and horses, the cities that have just been taken down may have to be recovered by Liu Bei's troops.

So at this time, Yuan Shao's anger could only be transferred to these generals.

Wen Chou, who was scolded by Yuan Shao, was also aggrieved at the moment.

"My lord, it's not that Wen Chou didn't try his best, but that the defenders of Xiapi City are too strong and the defense is too tight. Our army fought hard and went up the tower over and over again but failed. We are exhausted, and we are no longer able to attack this city."

Wen Chou cannot really be blamed for this incident. Wen Chou himself took the lead and led the army to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.

It's a pity that Guan Yu on the tower was too fierce. All the people who rushed to the tower were beheaded by Guan Yu and the troops led by Guan Yu.

In such a battle, it is naturally not easy to take down the city guarded by Guan Yu.

Unless you have several times more soldiers and horses than Guan Yu's side, and you can do it by storming several city gates regardless of the cost.

Just like now with a mere 2 horses attacking the city forcibly, the difference in numbers is not very obvious, plus they only attacked one city gate.There is not much difference between Yuan Shao's troops and Guan Yu's guarding the city, so it is even more difficult to take down Xiapi City.

Yuan Shao heard Wen Chou's explanation but didn't take it to heart, he still angrily cursed at the dejected generals in the big tent.

"Trash! They're all trash. A bunch of useless trash. We can't even take down a single city of Xiapi, and they will only lose troops. How can we take down Xuzhou now?"

But even though he was defeated, Wen Chou was not discouraged at all.

Seeing Yuan Shao say this, he immediately defended himself.

"My lord, although we failed to take down this city, this strong attack has also let the defenders and people in these cities know how powerful we are. We only need to besiege the city, or the people in the city will be in turmoil in a few days. At that time, this city of Xiapi will no longer be a threat."

A strong attack is not enough, Wen Chou can only propose a strategy for besieging the city.

Thinking that as long as the water and food are cut off, within a period of time, the defenders in Xiapi City can always be trapped to death.

Chapter 811 Retreat

The law of siege.

If it is implemented from the beginning, it can indeed be effective.

After all, although many of Yuan Shao's men were killed by Guan Yu in the first battle, they were still able to restrain some remnants, with more than [-] people.

More than [-] people fought against these Guan Yu troops in Xiapi City, but there were some chances of winning.

But now there are only more than 2 people left, and it is not so easy to deal with Guan Yu and Liu Bei's possible reinforcements.

After all, if the current manpower continues to besiege Xiapi City, Liu Bei only needs to send some random men to cooperate with the inside and outside, and wipe out these Yuan troops outside Xiapi City in one fell swoop.

It's just that Wen Chou can't imagine it at this time.

When will Liu Bei send troops to support Guan Yu?

Yuan Shao had no other choice at this time.

After hearing Wen Chou's words, he could only temporarily follow what Wen Chou said.

However, just when they had just retreated from Xiapi City.

Shen Pei and Ji Feng, who had just been dispatched to investigate the surrounding situation, came back in a hurry at this moment.

As soon as the two of them saw Yuan Shao in the big tent, they immediately shouted at Yuan Shao nervously!

"My lord, something is wrong."

Shenpei and Ji Feng appeared in the midst of the surge in a panic.

Interrupted the conversation between Wen Chou, Yuan Shao and others.

Renshou, Wen Chou and others were also at this moment.Turning his head to look at the trial match and Ji Feng who hurried in.

"Zhengnan, Yuantu. You two are so flustered, what happened?"

At this moment Yuan Shao has gradually calmed down from the initial rage.He started to face his situation directly, so when he saw Jianpei and Ji Feng, he was not as angry as last time.I don't know what I was thinking, but this time I was able to calm down.

Analyze the current situation with Ji Feng, the judge.

The trial match did not dare to delay and hesitate, and immediately answered Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao asked.

"My lord! The general found some traces of the enemy army fifty miles outside the city. They are rapidly approaching the direction of Xiapi City. According to the time estimate, they will arrive outside Xiapi City in less than half an hour. We have to do it early Intend."

Ben was thinking about the siege of the city, and was worried whether Liu Bei would send reinforcements to Xiapi City.

But he didn't expect that the judge had already told him that Liu Bei's other soldiers were quickly approaching Xiapi City.

For Yuan Shao, such a result is the last thing he wants to see.

So Yuan Shao's face changed drastically after hearing the report of the audition.

"What? Zhengnan, can you find out who is coming? How many people are there?"

Yuan Shao immediately turned pale with shock, and asked the judge a question.

The judge looked at Yuan Shao, hesitated for a moment, and said something to Yuan Shao.

"My lord! The specific soldiers and horses are too far away, so I haven't found out clearly, but the number is roughly between 3 and [-]. The person in command should be Zhao Yun, the former leader of Gongsun Zan's Baimayi Cong, because I am among these people." Some white horses were found in the

After Gongsun Zan's death, most of the people under Gongsun Zan's command were also incorporated by Liu Bei, such as Bai Mayi from Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and others were all included in Liu Bei's hands.
