Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 The Raiders Stand Out
"Your Highness, the people of the Li family seem to have the determination to fight to the death. You can see that they are crowded with people on the city wall. They must be hurrying to set up defense." Pei Yuanshao also saw some problems while carrying the mace.

"Humph, I wish they would fight to the end, otherwise Bin's father's plan of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys would be a show to the monkeys if there is no chicken to kill." Of course Liu Xie also saw the scene of the Li family dispatching troops and generals on the city wall, but But he didn't take it to heart.

"Then we gave them the time for a stick of incense, isn't it for nothing that they have more time to arrange their defenses? In my old Pei's opinion, we shouldn't talk nonsense with them, just go straight up and break into the city. Jiwu's small city gate, old Pei, I can make a hole for him with a mace." Pei Yuanshao was eager to try.

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, and said: "Old Pei, who said that we lit this stick of incense to set up defenses for them to fight against us. Some things are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface. Eyes are sometimes more powerful. It's easy to deceive people."

"Ah?" Obviously, Zhou Cang didn't understand Liu Xie's words with his thick nerves.

"Something is wrong. King Chen Liu came all the way to raise troops, but when he arrived at Jiwu, he was not in a hurry. Now he even made a stick of incense to make us consider surrendering. How could the Li family surrender now? "Isn't this unnecessary for King Chen Liu to give us time to prepare our defenses? No, there is definitely something wrong." Li Dian stood on the tower, and his keen intuition told him that Liu Xie's incense stick was not a pretense, but a mystery. There is really some shocking conspiracy brewing.But he couldn't tell what it was specifically.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, the time for the enemy to produce this incense stick may not be easy. Although I don't know what they are planning, they must be using this to paralyze us and make us take it lightly." Li Dian still endured I couldn't help but express my concerns to Li Yan and Li Hong.

Before Li Yan could speak, Li Hong said first: "Mancheng, I think you have been traumatized by Liu Xie. My second uncle tells you that as a general, you should not be affected by temporary gains and losses without thinking about the long term. Also. You tell my second uncle, even if they use this stick of incense to make us take our guard off and make us careless, we are on the city wall and they are outside the city tower. How can they defeat us? In my opinion, Liu Xie Xiao'er just doesn't know the art of war, and he is arrogant and wants to show off his military prowess, but he doesn't know that invisibly, he gave us a moment of breathing time."

Although Li Yan always believed in Li Dian, Li Dian lost his army a while ago. Now after hearing what Li Hong said, he felt that Li Dian was completely unfounded and said, "Mancheng, your second uncle is right. We To take advantage of the city tower, you only need to remain unchanged in response to all changes."

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe him, Li Dian didn't want to say any more. He retreated by the city wall and quietly looked at the copper furnace under the city tower and the two-thirds of the incense burnt. Thinking about something.

Time passed like this, and the people of the Li family on the city wall were still seizing the time to transport strategic materials for the defense of the city. Outside the city tower, Liu Xie's army was still just waiting in formation.Finally, the stick of incense burned out, and the last touch of ash fell heavily.

When Li Hong saw it, he couldn't help provoking loudly: "Son Liu Xie, the stick of incense has already been burned, how can my Li family surrender under your power, we will stay here and see what you can do Us, hahaha!"

Liu Xie heard this in the army, raised the corner of his mouth, smiled evilly, and whispered: "Really?" Then he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and said loudly: "Pass my military order, the whole army attacks the city, whoever climbs the wall first , rewarded with a thousand gold coins!”

Liu Xie gave an order, and Su Dingfang immediately commanded the army to press forward, with swords and shields in front to block the torrent of bows and arrows galloping from the tower, in the middle were soldiers carrying ladders and pushing carts to destroy the city, and behind them were archers against each other. Suppression was carried out on the tower, and the entire army was like a huge monster that knew no pain, advancing step by step to oppress Jiwu City.

"Hmph, this is just the most common siege formation, how can it break our own defense?" Li Hong smiled contemptuously, and commanded his men to pour boiling hot water and gold juice on Liu Xie's army below the tower. This thing is more lethal than a rolling stone or something like that. Even if you hold a shield to defend yourself, it will be useless. It can stick to your skin through a small gap. Not only will it burn a large area, but the golden juice will also boil it. As you can imagine, the dirt in the fecal water can quickly infect the wound. According to the medical standards of this era, only removing the dead flesh from the wound as soon as possible can have any effect.

Siege battles have always been very brutal, and the attacking party often has to pay a huge price to capture the city. This is why many generals with a more brutal personality often allow soldiers to wreak havoc and even massacre the city after breaking it.They were all brothers who lived and died together. They fell under the city wall like this. Who could turn a blind eye and who could remain indifferent.

"Your Highness, it may be very difficult to attack like this. The people of the Li family have been running Jiwu for many years. I am afraid that there is no shortage of supplies for the city's defense agencies. If we continue to consume like this, the 3000 people may soon be wiped out." Pei Yuanshao died. Holding the mace, I wish I could lead my troops to the front.Now there are only two generals in Liu Xie's army, he and Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang is responsible for commanding the army, he has to protect Liu Xie's safety, neither of them can charge in person, without the leadership of a fierce general, their attack did not bring too much to Jiwu The pressure caused many casualties.

"If you hold on a little longer, their deaths will not be worthless." Liu Xie's eyes were also red. It was said that this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and even commanded such a fierce battle between the two armies. The Yellow Turban bandits were wiped out last time. He was only responsible for the sneak attack on the Woniu Mountain stronghold. In the end, he relied on Dian Wei's bravery to intimidate Zhou Cang, and he was able to win effortlessly.Where is it like now, seeing his subordinates lying on the way to attack, moaning helplessly and in pain.Liu Xie's nails dug into his flesh. He had the most direct understanding of war. Death was inevitable. All he could do was to minimize the casualties on his side.

"Father Bin, you can't let me down." Liu Xie said softly.If anyone hears Liu Xie's words, they will find that Liu Xie's military advisor Yu Yunwen has never shown his face from beginning to end.

Li Dian also organized soldiers to defend on the city tower. The war has been stalemate until now, and both sides are red-blooded. He did not dare to hold back anymore and showed mercy. He stabbed out with one shot and directly killed a Liu Xiejun pawn who had just climbed onto the city tower. Carrying down the tower, I don’t know whether I will live or die.Liu Xie's army was not afraid of death, and many people had already reached the city tower, but it was still limited. They were quickly wiped out by Li Dian and his men, and the two sides remained in a stalemate.

At this moment, Jiwu's city wall suddenly shook violently. At the foot of a remote city wall, a layer of earth and rocks fell, revealing a small tunnel opening that could accommodate one person in and out. Several people rushed out from it. Unknown soldiers of Liu Xiejun.They were all wearing black armor and holding weapons in their hands. As soon as they came out, they shouted loudly and rushed towards the city gate, directly killing the Li family's army unexpectedly.They were like a torrent of steel, as if they had seen their brothers fall and heard their painful groans, their fighting spirit was overwhelming and their fighting spirit was high.

Li Hong was shocked when he saw it. Their troops were gathered above the city tower, and the defense below the city tower was weak. They were killed by Liu Xie's soldiers and horses who came out of nowhere. The city gate, then the Li family is completely over.

Li Dian saw this and shouted loudly: "General, quickly divide your troops and go down to resist them. If they open the city gate and let the enemies outside come in, then we will be unable to save our lives."

After hearing this, Li Hong reacted immediately, and shouted hoarsely: "Quick, quick, Manchester City, quickly lead your troops down to block them, no, wipe them all out!"
