Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 272: Besiege the City and Continue to Fight for Reinforcements

Zhao Yun was in the enemy camp with a spear, as graceful and elegant as a butterfly flying through flowers. Every time he drew his spear, an enemy soldier fell down.

His silver-white armor was covered in blood, and the fallen soldiers in front of him could form a small hill.

When Guo Jia looked at the brave Zhao Yun, surprise appeared on his cynical face for the first time.

They advanced all the way from Pei State, with Ma Chao acting as the vanguard all the way.

Zhao Yun did not attack very often, and each time he did, the battle ended quickly.

Guo Jia originally thought that Ma Chao's martial arts were rare today, but after seeing Zhao Yun's martial arts today, he realized that there is always someone better than you.

Ruyin County is located at the confluence of three rivers, and its geographical location is very important. It is natural for Yuan Gonglu to deploy a large number of troops here.

In the first seven days, it was Ma Chao who led the troops to charge and each time they achieved small victories. Until today, Ji Ling, a general under Yuan Gonglu, suddenly appeared at the gate of the city with 30,000 elite troops.

Seeing that Ma Chao's soldiers were about to be defeated, Zhao Yun appeared in the enemy camp with an army.

With the joining of Zhao Yun, it was like a shot of adrenaline for Ma Chao, and the decline that had just appeared was swept away.

As the two men charged and fought fiercely, Zhao Yun's army gradually gained the upper hand.

so horrible!

Guo Jia could not have imagined that Zhao Yun, who usually looked steady and decent, would be so terrifying when he charged into battle.

As the battle progressed, Zhao Yun had completely taken control of the battlefield, and Ji Ling's army formation had become a little chaotic. Soon the panic turned into a rout.

Looking at the gradually defeated enemy army, a smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

This battle is the most critical battle after they entered Runan County. If they cannot win this battle, the offensive plan against Runan will have to be revised.

Ji Ling looked at the brave Zhao Yun and a hint of shock appeared on his face.

I didn't expect that Emperor Liu had such a good general under his command. No wonder he was able to occupy most of Yuzhou in such a short time.

He had just arrived with 30,000 troops to rescue the city, and had thought that he could defeat Zhao Yun in one battle and win merit by killing the general.

Who would have thought that not only did he fail to kill the general, but he was also defeated.

Shame, shame!

He lamented in his heart, and as he watched the soldiers falling one after another, he couldn't help but let out a roar.

"retreat."

At Ji Ling's command, the team crossed over and covered each other, slowly retreating back to Ruyin County.

He roughly estimated the military strength and found that the casualties in this battle reached more than 10,000 people.

He took a deep breath. If he had not retreated in time, the casualties would have increased further.

"Pass the order down, defend the city, and do not go out to fight without my order. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed immediately!"

The messenger hurried to deliver the military order.

Ji Ling walked quickly into a mansion and saw Yuan Yao standing in the courtyard. He saluted hastily.

"Meet the young master."

"General Ji, you have come a long way, so you don't need to be polite. I thought that with your might, you would be able to defeat them in one battle, but I didn't expect that even you were defeated. It seems that Ruyin County cannot be defended."

"Don't panic, sir. Ruyin City is high and deep, with sufficient food and grass. As long as we hold on, they will retreat soon. Before entering the city, I sent someone to report the battle situation to the lord. I believe that after the lord knows the situation here, he will definitely send troops to rescue us again."

Yuan Yao was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Zhao Zilong's martial arts are so strong that I'm afraid that only Lu Fengxian can defeat him in this world. It's a pity that he is no longer in the camp. If Fengxian was still here, why would he be afraid of Zhao Zilong?"

"Although Zhao Zilong is brave, he is still a mortal. If reinforcements arrive, we can attack him from both inside and outside and we will surely be able to defeat him."

Yuan Yao looked at the flower tree in front of him and remained silent.

Although Ji Ling's words made some sense, no one could tell whether they could win or not.

There is no better way now except to hold on.

"General Ji, the Emperor's uncle Liu is full of tricks. When defending the city, you must be extra careful to avoid being taken advantage of by the Emperor's uncle."

"only!"

Ji Ling agreed, with some confidence on his face. He read the battle report of Liu Yu entering Yuzhou over and over again. Judging from the results, he felt that Liu Yu deserved the title of cunning.

He was so cunning that he used different methods every time he attacked the city.

Some attack by digging holes underground, some attack by bulldozing from the sky; there are many different ways of attacking, making it difficult to defend against.

Ji Ling is already familiar with these tactics, and he will make corresponding defenses against them.

He believed that with his defensive measures, not to mention Zhao Yun, even if Liu Yu came in person, he would not be able to capture the city.

Ji Ling walked out of the mansion and looked at the wounded soldiers all over the city with a cold look on his face.

He secretly made up his mind that one day, he would make Zhao Yun taste the taste of failure.

Zhao Yun's situation was not much better than Ji Ling's. This battle was too brutal, and he calculated the casualties.

In this battle, the number of casualties reached 10,000, which was the heaviest casualties since he led his troops into Yuzhou. Although he eventually won the battle, he still felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of so many brothers who fought side by side with him and closed their eyes forever.

What a tragic victory!

Zhao Yun showed a trace of sadness on his face. If he had drawn his gun faster, perhaps all this could have been avoided.

Zhao Yun felt a little guilty. He inspected the camp and felt relieved when he saw that the wounded were being treated in an orderly manner.

Needless to say, all of this was arranged by Guo Jia. Even though he usually drinks all day and gets drunk easily, and looks unreliable, he is surprisingly organized when doing things.

It turned out that the emperor's uncle had a keen eye and took a liking to the drunk Guo Jia at first sight.

Zhao Yun came to the tent. There was already someone sitting in the tent. They were Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

After the two of them greeted each other, Guo Jia sincerely admired him:

"Zilong, you are an extraordinary hero, invincible in the world, it really opened my eyes."

"Feng Xiao, you are too kind. Ruyin City is impregnable, and now Ji Ling has come to help. It may be difficult to break through the city and capture Yuan Yao alive."

"As long as we surround this city and trap Yuan Yao here, it won't affect the progress of the plan whether we catch him or not."

"Zilong, think about it, who is besieging this city now? It's the son of Yuan Gonglu. When his generals hear the news, who dares not come to rescue? At that time, we only need to stay here and surround the city to fight for reinforcements."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he understood the key. Even if they knew about the trap, they would still fall into it obediently. There was no other way. This man was Yuan Shu's son. Even if Yuan Shu gave up on anyone else, he would never give up on him.
