The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 87 The Swordsman
Yuan Yao immediately objected: "General Huang's wounds have not healed, how can he lead the army?"

Li Ji sighed and said: "I also know that the old general's wounds have not healed, so it is not suitable to lead the army, but now the enemy is facing an extraordinary period, but the old general can only work hard, because apart from the old general, no one else is enough. It is you, my lord, who can't do anything to boost the morale and morale of the army and people in Xiling."

Indeed, since Yuan Yao conquered Xiling, Huang Zhong stayed here to exercise great power, and Huang Zhong was originally from Jingzhou, and his prestige was far higher than Yuan Yao's.

For a while, Yuan Yao could no longer find words to refute Li Ji.

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "My lord, don't worry, my injury is not a problem, my old bones will not fall apart!"

However, Yuan Yao was still worried, and said, "Old General Huang must not risk himself, he must do what he can."

Huang Zhong looked stern, and cupped his hands and said: "A general, how can he hide behind himself, but let his soldiers charge forward for him?"

"The battle of Xiling is related to the survival of our army. If we lose this battle, there will be endless troubles. What's the use of being greedy for life? Don't talk too much, my lord. I have made up my mind!"

Yuan Yao was silent, and gave Huang Zhong a long bow, the old general is wise.

Three days later, Liu Bei regained his strength and sent troops to Xiling again. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang followed. As for Guan Yu, his troops were stationed in Xiaxian, so he did not follow.

In the front row of the army formation, Liu Bei flicked his cloak suddenly, walked to the back of Shuai's case and stood still.

Liu Bei slowly drew out his sword, pointed the tip of the sword in the direction of Xiling City, and said Langlang: "This battle is about the luck of Jingzhou, and it is more about the growth and decline of Jingzhou's foundation. You should be the commanders of the army and fight forward."

What Liu Bei said was impeccable, and the implication was that Liu Bei fought hard to attack Xiling, not for himself, but for Jingzhou, for Liu Biao, and instantly won the favor of the Jingzhou army.

All the generals clasped their fists in unison: "We will go forward with all our might, and if we don't destroy Xiling, we will never stop fighting!"

"it is good."

Liu Bei picked up his sword and said to Zhuge Liang, "Military Master, please take the sword."

Zhuge Liang knelt down on one knee and opened his hands to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei solemnly handed the sword to Zhuge Liang.

As Liu Bei handed over his sword, the command of the Jingzhou army was transferred to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang put away his sword and got up from the ground, shouting again: "Zhang Fei obeys the order!"

Zhang Fei took a step forward and shouted, "The end is here!"

Zhuge Liang picked up a warrant from the commander's case and handed it to Zhang Fei, shouting: "General Zhang leads 1000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and you have only one task, which is to advance to the Xiling City in the shortest time, and set up the ladder to the ground." Head of Xiling City!"

"The last will obey!"

Zhang Fei took the order and left.

Zhuge Liang took another order sign and shouted: "Zhao Yun listens to the order."

Zhao Yun took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "The end is here."

Zhuge Liang handed the order to Zhao Yun, and shouted: "In today's battle, the success or failure depends on the 2000 soldiers of the siege battalion. Zilong should remember it!"

"The final general will not disgrace his life!"

Zhao Yun took the order and swaggered away.

Zhuge Liang said again: "The rest of the generals, each lead their own troops to follow the army division to raid the formation."

The clouds are thick, and the war is about to break out.

The 4000 Jingzhou Army has already set up an attack formation outside the south gate of Xiling. The heavy infantry, archers, and auxiliary soldiers are well-defined and orderly.

After praying to heaven and earth, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to get on the nest cart with him, and ordered his own soldiers to raise the nest cart.

The nest cart is three feet high, standing on the nest cart and looking down, one can see that the Jingzhou army is like an ink painting splashed on the vast land, magnificent, solemn and full of murderous aura.

Liu Bei turned his head and cast his gaze on Zhuge Liang who was close at hand.

But Zhuge Liang didn't turn his head back, he looked over the dark Jingzhou army formation under his feet, and bet on the rear.

At the rear of the Jingzhou army formation, Zhao Yun was looking up at the Chinese army with his head tilted.

Behind Zhao Yun, two thousand soldiers from the siege battalion were sitting quietly, or they were ready to go.

Zhuge Liang withdrew his gaze from the rear, raised his right hand and pressed forward, and said, "Send my military order to start attacking the city!"

The messenger standing behind Zhuge Liang immediately turned around and shouted hoarsely: "The military division has an order, start attacking the city, the military division has an order, start attacking the city..."

"The military division has an order to start attacking the city!"

"The military division has an order to start attacking the city!"

"The military division has an order to start attacking the city!"

Dozens of cavalry messengers galloped away from the main formation of the central army in all directions in an instant. With the dispatch of the messengers, the general order to attack the city was quickly conveyed.

In the next instant, the Jingzhou Army Formation, which had been completely silent, immediately began to churn.

The sound of horns and war drums resounded through the sky in an instant, and the shouts of the soldiers of the three armies were enough to pierce gold and crack rocks.

"drink!"

"drink!"

"drink!"

Amidst the roaring chants, a thousand former troops pushed the siege equipment and approached Xiling first.

The Jingzhou army was fully prepared and brought hundreds of siege equipment. Dozens of equipment were invested in one attack, which almost filled the south wall of Xiling City. Among the siege equipment of the Jingzhou army were ladders, siege There are towers, catapults, trench bridges, pointed wheels that attack the city gates, and wooden ox carts that hit the city walls.

Yuan Yao stood on the south gate of Xiling, holding the battlements with his hands, with a dignified expression.

What should come is finally here!
But for some reason, Yuan Yao's mood at this moment is more dignified than during the battle of Xiangyang.

Looking back, five hundred archers were already waiting on the top of the city, waiting for the prey to enter the attack range.

Most of these [-] archers were newly recruited soldiers from Xiling, and basically had never participated in a decent battle. At the time of the war, everyone was already extremely nervous.

Not far from Yuan Yao, an archer was so nervous that his teeth chattered.

Yuan Yao subconsciously shook his head. A recruit is a recruit, and he was already so nervous that he could suffocate before the battle even started.

Fortunately, this is a city defense battle. If it were to be replaced by a field battle, the Jingzhou army only needs a charge to make them fall apart!

In Xiling City, more than a dozen catapults have been set up, and the strong men selected from among the people are already in place, waiting for the order from the head of the city.

Just waiting for Yuan Yao's order, these hundreds of strong men will start the catapult with all their strength under the guidance of the trumpeter, and throw huge boulders weighing tens of kilograms out of the city.

It's a pity that today's weather is cloudy and rainy, otherwise the stones can be replaced with a fierce fire oil tank wrapped with straw ropes. After being ignited, such a fierce fire oil tank will fall into the enemy's infantry formation, which is especially lethal!

Further back, five hundred hoplites were resting against the base of the wall with their eyes closed.

These [-] armored infantrymen are soldiers of Gao Chong's First Army. They participated in the Battle of Lu'an, the Battle of Xiazhi, and the Battle of Conquering the Jiangdong Water Army. It can be said that each of them crawled out of the dead. At the moment of the war, they were expressionless, and many veterans seemed to be asleep. The wind and rain did not affect their sleepiness in the slightest.

As a veteran of many battles, I know better than anyone what it means to have plenty of physical strength.

Abundant physical strength means that you will have a greater chance to kill the enemy, and it also means that you will have a greater chance to survive from the battlefield.

Therefore, veterans will use all the gaps to sleep and regain their strength as soon as possible.

Yuan Yao turned his head again, and the Jingzhou army came rolling in like a tidal wave.

In just a moment, the Jingzhou army's vanguard was already within two hundred steps.

The catapults of the two sides took the lead in bombarding each other, but the infantry array of the Jingzhou Army did not slow down at all.
