Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 578
Li Cunxiao and Su Lie led troops to the north gate of Guantao. Yu Jin and Lu Qian also led troops to firmly block the east and west gates. Now the east gate was left. Li Jing had not sent any soldiers to attack. .

Both Jiang Song and Tai Shici's resolute eyes were shining with warlike fervor. Li Jing glanced between the two of them, and finally fixed his gaze on the golden armored Tai Shici who was carrying a pair of halberds and carrying a strong bow, and said loudly: " Tai Shici, lead you to lead [-] soldiers and horses to attack from the east gate. Remember, Yuan Jun is arrogant and powerful. If it is not for the sharpness of the bow and spear, and the fruit of broken trees and bamboos, it is unconvincing. Can our army take it at the lowest price? For Guantao City, it depends on whether your east gate can show momentum."

Hearing Li Jingyu's earnest words, Tai Shici immediately felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but he didn't have the slightest fear or awe. The burning fighting intent in his eyes was condensed into a solid body, and he clasped his fists firmly and said: "The one who goes to the pottery first, I must be the generals of the east gate!"

Although there are only a few words, it fully reveals Taishi Ci's firm determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Ci rode out on horseback, raised the Kuangsing Halberd in his right hand slightly, and [-] Yanzhou elites immediately appeared, like a black dragon with eyes dotted, carrying an overwhelming momentum towards Guantao. The city slapped away hard.

Seeing that several well-known generals in the army have their own responsibilities, Li Jing quietly watched the generals set up their positions as if everything was in order and stopped giving orders. Even though Jiang Song was calm and patient, he couldn't help but start A little impatient.

"General, the last general invites you to fight!"

Jiang Song's words were concise and to the point, even if he couldn't lead the army to attack the city alone like Tai Shici and the others, he, the vanguard general personally appointed by Liu Xie, didn't want to just hide behind and watch the battle silently.

Li Jing listened to Jiang Song's invitation to fight, and then he turned his head and took a deep look at Jiang Song, then turned back and continued to watch Tai Shici leading the soldiers and horses slowly approaching the Guantao city wall.

Seeing Li Jing's noncommittal reaction, Jiang Song's doubts and anger surged instantly, and he was a little uncertain about what was hidden deep in the deep eyes of the middle-aged scholar who was recruiting soldiers for the first time in front of him.

Liu Xie, who was standing not far behind watching the battle, saw all this clearly. His face was solemn, the corners of his eyes were no longer as relaxed as before. I'm thinking about it.

His [-] Yanzhou troops have been delayed in Yangping for too long. It is time to take a look at the land of Hebei.

"Good job, let me see the strength of the Yanzhou Army, what can I do?"

On the east gate city wall, the general Han Meng who was guarding the city saw that the Yanzhou army had entered the shooting range of their archers, and he also met Tai Shici, a familiar face from that day. He smiled ferociously, pulled out the sword from his waist, and ordered the archers to plunder and kill first. .

In an instant, the five thousand archers of the Yuan Army who had formed an arrow formation loosened their fingers, and arrows rained like a forest, sweeping towards the Yanzhou Army with a sharp whistling sound.

Taishi Ci was familiar with military books and tactics, and had considerable experience in the methods of attacking and defending cities. When he saw Han Meng swinging his sword and shouting, he immediately ordered the sword and shield hand to stand in front, and waited until the arrow was almost flying to its highest point in the air. When they arrived, the Yanzhou army erected several rows of strong shields, and they were built tightly together like an airtight city wall.

There was only the dull sound of metal friction, but not the slightest cry of pain from the soldiers. The shield wall was very stable, protecting the Yanzhou army from advancing slowly and safely under the city wall.

This is already a blind spot for archers, unless they are willing to stick their heads out and shoot arrows against the threat of Yanzhou army archers. Therefore, Han Meng ordered the archers to retreat and let the soldiers hold rolling stones, wood and boiling soup Stand by.

Almost at the same time, Li Cunxiao and Su Lie from the north gate also led troops and rushed to the city wall.

There were two generals sent by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to guard the north gate, named Lu Weihuang and Sui Yuanjin respectively.

These two men were originally the capable generals of Yuan Shao's confidant General Chun Yuqiong, but for unknown reasons, they were recruited by Yuan Shang to guard the north gate.

These two people's martial arts were mediocre, and their understanding of military tactics was half-baked, but they were cautious and honest. After receiving Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's orders, they only cared about guarding the North Gate firmly without any thought of making any extra great contributions.

Seeing that Yuan Jun from the top of the city was continuously smashing the waist-thick lumber down, and the rolling stones that were bigger than the millstone were thrown with thunderous noise, leaving shocking craters on the ground. Li Cunxiao and Su Liedu was at a loss what to do.

Su Lie's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Looking at Yuan Jun's reckless abandonment, he didn't know that they had piled up defense supplies in Yangping. No matter how brave our soldiers are, how can their flesh and blood bodies withstand the rolling stones and wood? A collision?"

Li Cunxiao muttered in a low voice: "What's so difficult about this? Let me decide the direction. If you let me lead three hundred dead men, if I charge the city myself, I will cause Yuan's army to be in chaos!"

Su Lie smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head, pointed at the city head and analyzed carefully: "You see, Yuan Jun has been prepared for a long time. The eaves of the city wall are covered with a thick layer of lard, which is extremely sticky and slippery. Our ladders It is difficult to fix it at all. It is not difficult for you to attack the city because of your high martial arts skills, but the soldiers are not as good as you."

"Is it possible that we are wasted here by Yuan Jun's few pieces of lard? I am really angry. When Guantao City is destroyed in the future, I will have to burn this broken city tower!"

Li Cunxiao followed Su Lie's direction and looked. Sure enough, as soon as their ladder leaned against the city wall, Yuan Jun's soldiers only had to push it slightly to the side, and the tall ladder would immediately slide along the slope, and they would move diagonally. It fell down. Thanks to the soldiers' quick reaction and steady use of force, the ladder was prevented from falling and shattering.

"Fire? Hahaha, General Cunxiao is really smart, why didn't I think of it!"

Su Lie was so excited that he patted Li Cunxiao's thick shoulder vigorously, and laughed out loud with relief.

Li Cunxiao was taken aback for a moment, a little unresponsive, and suddenly praised himself.

It's a pity that Su Lie didn't give him any more explanation. He turned around and went down to tell the soldiers to get ready.

Seeing that the Yanzhou Army's offensive had weakened, the reinforcements on the tower burst out laughing triumphantly, thinking that the Yanzhou Army was not as powerful and terrifying as the rumors said.

Lu Weihuang even smiled contemptuously and said loudly and unwillingly: "If it hadn't been for the Lord's order not to leave the city, I would have led the troops to capture Li Cunxiao, the black man, and ask for credit from the Lord!"

Sui Yuanjin next to him also laughed loudly and said, "Hmph, what Yanzhou general, is he blocked by us under the tower and helpless!"

Li Cunxiao was furious when he heard this, and the King Yu and Bi Yanluo in his hands were trembling. If he could fly up the tower, he would have already sent them on their way one by one.
