Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 394
The crazy attack of the Jizhou army made most people have the same idea as Chang Xi.

Is the enemy crazy?

Under Yuan Tan's presence in person to watch the battle, the strict orders and urging of generals at all levels, and the temptation of generous rewards, the soldiers in Jizhou began to burst out with unprecedented energy.

At the end of this day, the Jizhou army was really only one step away several times, and it was about to win a complete victory.

Although they survived, almost most of the Fenggao people have already given birth to despair. After all, the balance of victory has clearly tilted towards the Jizhou people.

It's useless even if you keep it today!

Because according to this trend, Feng Gao will definitely fall in a day or two at most!
Just when the morale in the city was low, in the night, several iron cavalry sneaked over from the gap of the encirclement line, and approached Feng Gao silently.

There is no way, with this level of fighting, even the Jizhou army, which is far superior in numbers, is already exhausted, and the defense against such small groups of troops can no longer be perfected.

Chang Xi, who had just returned from his tour of the Wounded Battalion, heard that the secret envoy of reinforcements had arrived, and immediately rushed over without even caring about changing the blood-stained helmet.

But when Chang Xi saw the leader, he was stunned on the spot.

This.
This is Zhou Mu's personal soldier?

The identity of the visitor almost instantly made Chang Xi realize who the main general of the reinforcements this time was.

After realizing this, endless ecstasy appeared on Chang Xi's face.

At this moment, he didn't even think about how many troops Wang Zheng brought here, nor did he care about what this soldier would discuss with him next.

Since the state shepherd has come in person, this battle must be won!
For this point, Chang Xi inexplicably has surging confidence!
On the other side, Yuan Tan and the generals are also trying to find another Xuzhou army. Although they don't know the exact location of the other side, the Jizhou army is naturally very clear about its intentions.

The purpose of burning the granary is nothing more than to force them to voluntarily withdraw their troops.
So since the siege of Fenggao is still going on, how can the general of this Xuzhou army give up?
Yuan Tan even considered enclosing Fenggao City on all sides, completely blocking the escape routes of the people in the city, and at the same time investigating the lurking enemy.

However, this naive idea was immediately dissuaded by Guo Tu and others. It was just that there were other enemies around.

Not to mention that the current strength of the Jizhou Army has been severely weakened, it is difficult to achieve this.

After all, since ancient times, as long as it is facing some tough battles in some big cities, the losses of the attackers will inevitably be greater than those of the defenders. So far, nearly [-] people have been killed or injured in Fenggao City. How can the Jizhou Army be better?

If the troops are forced to divide, not only will tomorrow's siege be affected, but part of the troops divided may be eaten up by the enemy's concentration and night raids.

In the end, Yuan Tan didn't lose his mind, and finally dismissed this idea.

On the one hand, he ordered the guards to expand the range of vigilance and try to determine the exact position of the enemy. On the other hand, it was natural to mobilize the oath to the generals again. After all, tomorrow is the second day
How could Yuan Tan, who came from a family of Confucian classics, not know the truth behind the method?

Conquering Feng Gao within three days is his bottom line, but for ordinary soldiers, the sooner the better!
At the same time as the sky brightened again, the sky-shattering shouts of killing also sounded again.

After a night of rest, the soldiers of the two armies, who had somewhat recovered their strength, once again fought together under the supervision of the officer.

His own army has indeed reached the end of its strength.

Chang Xi, who was standing at the city gate, had clearly felt this after fighting for half a day.

Although he joined Wang Zheng's command not long ago, he either participated in or watched several battles, so it can be said that he has a deep enough understanding of the Heavenly Army.

This is a strong army that far surpasses most peasant rebels, even officers and soldiers, in terms of fighting spirit, combat effectiveness, and morale!

But now.
Looking around, today's Chang Xi saw weakness for the first time in the faces of many heavenly soldiers.

Even if the Heavenly Army is like this, the other garrison guards are even more unbearable. Nowadays, fear of the enemy and war-weariness have already appeared in a large area of ​​the army, which is quite normal.

No matter how strong and brave they are, they are still living people after all. When they are exhausted physically and mentally after a long battle, they will inevitably start to collapse.

What's more, the most important point is that everyone is starting to despair.

Although there were countless dangers before, with the efforts of Changxi, Tianjun, and Tianzhuying, they still forcibly blocked the enemy's attack again, but everything can never be done again. Today, everyone has a clear understanding in their hearts. Enlightenment.

If there are no accidents, before sunset today, there may be a moment to decide the outcome.

Maybe today is just the fall of the city walls and the outer city, but they can still retreat to the streets and county government of the inner city to continue fighting, and it is possible to fight repeatedly for several days or even a week.

But the most important point is that once the outer city can be breached, the fall of the inner city is just around the corner. Chang Xi and the defenders know this, and Yuan Tan and the Jizhou Army are no exception!
Under such circumstances, the dilemma caused by the burning of the enemy's granary will disappear!
The Jizhou Army will definitely change their unsteady thoughts and completely dispel the idea of ​​retreating!

However, clearly the situation has reached an extremely critical juncture, today's soldiers were surprised to find that their Qu Shuai was different from the previous few days.

He is still busy commanding the frontline soldiers, still fighting in person, and his expression is still focused and serious.
But for some reason, everyone could see that Chang Xi was no longer flustered, much less fearful and desperate.
What's going on?

At this time, Chang Xi naturally didn't know that his family's disguise had been seen through by these descendants. He looked at the city, and the Jizhou army was still everywhere, but Chang Xi didn't care about these anymore. He even had the leisure to work hard among tens of thousands of people. Search for the location of the commander-in-chief Yuan Tan.

This young young general is a top-notch family in the world, the grandson and grandson of the Yuan family in Runan, the fourth generation and the third father!

This kind of aristocrats and aristocrats who are destined to be noble and superior by birth are precisely the existences such as Chang Xi hate and loathe most!
Now this son probably thinks that he is only one step away from victory?
I don't know what the expression on his face will be when he falls into the abyss again?

Just thinking of this made Chang Xi feel very happy.

These Jizhou people outside the city obviously didn't know that just as the long day was about to pass, Wang Zhenghe's trilogy had secretly moved to a place only fifteen miles away from Fenggao City.

Under normal circumstances, this distance is already within the detection range of the Jizhou sentry cavalry, but the problem is that after fighting for more than half of the day, the Jizhou soldiers are already tired, so these sentry cavalry who do not participate in the frontal battlefield , under everyone's irritated mood, and being responsible for the martial law around them, they are beginning to be a little powerless.

Furthermore, Wang Zheng had considered this point since he set off. As long as the army was activated, once he entered the range where his whereabouts might be exposed at any time, he would immediately speed up and march straight to the north gate of Fenggao City.

Asking the soldiers to contact Chang Xi in advance is also to make the other party ready to respond!

What's more, they chose a good timing, and when they arrived near Fenggao City, it happened to be just before dark.

Does the army of Jizhou people dare to rush out to intercept it in the dark?
If it was just at the foot of Fenggao City, the Jizhou army, which had been rejuvenated from Linzi and had the power of a great victory, was like a rainbow. Naturally, their morale would not be a big problem, but what about now?
Not to mention the bitter battle in the city for many days, the siege battle in the past few days is even more tragic and heart-pounding, coupled with the current shortage of food and grass.
Under such circumstances, neither Chang Xi nor Wang Zheng felt that Yuan Tan still had that courage, and that the Jizhou Army still had that ability!
The subsequent development of the situation, everything was staged as expected.

Seeing that the sun was falling to the west and dusk was coming again, everyone in Fenggao breathed a sigh of relief. According to past experience, at this time, the Jizhou Army will begin to withdraw its troops on its own initiative. Even when the offensive suddenly intensified yesterday, the timing was also so unpredictable. two.

But this time they were disappointed,

After a short rest, the Jizhou army did not organize a retreat. Instead, they began to integrate their formations and assumed the posture of attacking the city again.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the top of the city suddenly became nervous.

what's the situation?Confusion and worry also appeared in Chang Xi's eyes.

On the one hand, he was worried that the soldiers under him would not be able to tighten up just after they relaxed, which would become a great hidden danger. On the other hand, Chang Xi was also worried that if the Jizhou army had a red eye, Wang Zheng's troops would not be able to take advantage of it. Into the city.

Under the dim sunlight, an invisible chill began to permeate.

Afterwards, Chang Xi saw that the formation of the enemy troops under the city changed, they separated left and right, and a column of men and horses approached from the center, led by a young general.

I don't know what the other party said, but tens of thousands of people cheered like mountains and valleys, and then the enemy rushed towards the city wall again.

Is this Yuan Tan?
Disgust flashed in Chang Xi's eyes, but when he saw those black heads approaching quickly, his face turned pale again.

At this moment, Chang Xi only felt a jump in his heart, as if he heard a horn sounded from an unknown place, so powerful that his heartbeat jumped together with it.

He looked north for the first time, but found nothing.

Chang Xi frowned, and asked the soldiers beside him, "Have you heard the sound of a horn?"

"What horn sound?" Several people stared at each other, and replied at the same time: "I've heard the sound of drums before, don't these Yankees beat gongs and drums every time they attack the city?"

Did I hear it wrong?

Chang Xi had no choice but to calm down. Today, the Jizhou army was uncharacteristically, and it was about to launch an offensive again. Under such circumstances, it was not suitable for Zhou Mu to lead the army into the city. Presumably he would wait until it was dark.

Thinking of this, just as Chang Xi was about to command, there was another "woo" sound!
The voice was a bit ethereal, as if it came from an extremely far place above the clouds, but it rang clearly in Chang Xi's ears.

It rang again.

wrong!

Chang Xi paused, and immediately raised his head to look to the left and right. This time, several soldiers stopped their movements and looked around as well.

They all heard the sound of the horn this time!

Deep and powerful, majestic and clear, it appeared suddenly, but it spread shockingly throughout the plain outside Fenggao City.

It was as if a prehistoric giant who had been sleeping for a hundred years snored casually when turning over, but it was enough to make the sky dark and the earth tremble.

This action even caused everyone on the battlefield to stop their movements and look around.

"Why did the horn sound suddenly?" The people on the top of the city also asked in wonder.

For the sake of secrecy, except for the Tianjun and Changxi at the North City Gate, most of them didn't know that Wang Zheng actually went out in person this time, and they were even more prepared to take the initiative to "seek their own death" when Feng Gao saw that he was about to fall.

"Haha."

Chang Xi let out a chuckle, walked to the edge of the city wall, and replied, "Since it's a trumpet, there must be an army ready to charge!"

charge?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they reacted organically, and immediately screamed out.

"Shuai Qu is referring to the reinforcements who burned the grain road all the way?"

"Hey!"

Chang Xi didn't turn his head, but just stared at the north in a daze, and there was a hint of excitement in his calm tone, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Zhou Mu's mighty prowess with my own eyes, and I don't know how strong it is to be able to do it." It’s called divine power.”

Why did you suddenly mention Wang Zheng?
A personal guard was puzzled and was about to ask a question when he felt someone pull his shoulders. He looked back and saw that his colleague didn't speak, and only pointed at Chang Xi with his finger. The man looked in the direction of the finger, Hao Ran saw that Chang Xi was supporting the city wall with both palms, and his knuckles were already turning white from exertion.

"Look! What is that?"

At this moment, because they were at a high place, some of the guards in the watchtower were the first to see the vision, and they all shouted.

Everyone
Including the defenders in Fenggao City and the Jizhou Army under the city.
Including Yuan Tan, Guo Tu.
They all turned their heads and looked in the past, following the direction the soldiers were shouting.

That's the north.

At the end of the plain, a tiny black spot first appeared, then gradually expanded, gradually increased, and finally turned into a black torrent, rushing towards Fenggao.

In the flying dust, the cold light of many knives and guns can be seen faintly, amidst the billowing dust and smoke, it is like starlight mixed in the twilight, and those shiny black armors are still shining even in the twilight!

Accompanied by the sound of the low-pitched horn, those figures quickly approached and gradually became clearer.

At this time, everyone could see that it was just a cavalry in front and thousands of infantry behind.

Under today's Fenggao City, in front of the nearly 3 Jizhou Army, a few thousand is really not an important number, but for some reason, everyone who watched this army approaching from beginning to end felt that it was simply It is an overwhelming torrent, unstoppable.

The horn sounded again, this time the tone suddenly changed, no longer steady, and more shrill, like the roar of a monster, or the roar of a giant beast!

At the same time, that army pierced into the enemy's formation like a sharp arrow!

Seeing the sudden fighting below the city, everyone on the top of the city gasped, even though they knew it was their own reinforcements, but seeing that this army was so terrifying that it could invincibly fight against an enemy ten times their size, This fighting power still completely stunned them.

"My God, are these people really flesh and blood?" a soldier murmured to himself.

"Otherwise, you'd think." Amidst the suspicious eyes, Chang Xi was rarely calm, but said indifferently: "Why is Zhou Mu's elite division called Tianjun?"

The last ray of sunshine staying in Fenggao made the pawns on the top of the city discover at the same time
Since the siege, Chang Xi, the defender, smiled again.

A relieved smile.

On the seventh day of the Jizhou Army Siege No. 30, Xuzhou State Mu Wangzheng personally led the elite to charge forward from the outermost perimeter, beheading the generals and trapping the generals. It was as if no one was in the middle of the army, trampling on countless corpses all the way, and approaching his own city. .

When he learned that Wang Zheng was coming to the battlefield in person, Yuan Tan was overjoyed after being shocked. Before he could figure out how to stop the opponent completely, the sentry cavalry returned again, and Wang Zheng's army had already entered the city!
At this time, it was only a cup of tea before the other party showed up.

On this day, the entire Fenggao situation has undergone a fundamental change.
