Hu Yanzhuo, who was defeated in the first battle, did not back down. On the second day, he led his troops to the outside of Gaotangzhou City again. The officers and soldiers under his command brought a large number of siege equipment and began to attack the city directly..

"This Hu Yanzhuo is really difficult to deal with," all the generals of Liangshan went to the city to help defend the city, and Zhou You also took Song Jiang and Wu Yong to the city for inspection.

The arrows above and below the city are like rain, and the sound of shouting and killing is endless. The stones projected by the trebuchet continue to hit the wall, the city and even the top of the city, making a dull sound like thunder... In such an offensive and defensive battle However, Liangshan people, as the defenders of the city, although they have an advantage, casualties will inevitably occur..

"Three brothers, the city is dangerous, you should go back to the city and wait for the news!" Dai Zong, the 'Shenxing Taibao' who was running back and forth on the city to deliver orders, couldn't help but nervously said when Zhou You and the others came to the city.

Zhou You smiled indifferently, walking on the top of the city, as if wandering, as if this is not a battlefield, but a certain city wall historic site, as if this siege battle has become a performance.

"It's okay, brothers are fighting here, how can we sit comfortably in the yamen in the city?" Zhou You's tone was calm but sonorous: "Brothers, fight hard and kill all these thieves and officers. Brother Gongming is with you!"

Zhou You's words immediately cheered up the Liangshan soldiers guarding the city, and the shouts of killing with high morale became louder.Dai Zong had no choice but to bow down and continue to work.

Phew... There was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow shot straight towards the city, making Zhou You's squinted eyes turn sideways, and he reached out his hand like lightning and directly grabbed the extremely fast arrow...

At the same time, Song Jiang stared stiffly, because although Zhou You caught the arrow, the arrow was only an inch away from his forehead, which made Song Jiang's pale forehead sweat out of fear.

"Hehe... are you okay? Gongming," Zhou You asked with a chuckle, and after Song Jiang woke up with a shiver, he still had some lingering fears in his heart, and his voice was trembling: "No...it's okay, thank you brother for helping me !Otherwise...otherwise my life will be over!"

Wu Yong, who was also terribly frightened, realized that he was relieved by rubbing his chest with a goose feather fan. He saw Zhou You's calm and casual look after receiving the arrow with one hand, and Song Jiang was obviously terrified, and his body was slightly Trembling and embarrassed, while becoming more admirable and respectful to Zhou You, he also became more and more aware of Song Jiang's weakness in his bones. Although he had means, he was still not enough to compare with Zhou You.

"Huh?" Hu Yanzhuo, who put down his bow on his horse outside the city, couldn't help but look at the head of the city with a changed expression: "Receiving arrows empty-handed? This Zhouyou is... so amazing? No wonder he can become the leader of Liangshan , no wonder you dare to capture Gaotang Prefecture, and you dare to stay in the city and wait for me to attack."

"General..." The faces of Baisheng General Han Tao and Tianmu General Peng Qi on the side also changed. They naturally knew the strength and speed of Hu Yanzhuo's arrow. The opponent was able to catch the arrow with his bare hands. Or the strength of his hands, they are all very good, his kung fu should not be underestimated, it turns out that the leader of Liangshan is the one who really hides his secrets.

Hu Yanzhuo's troops attacked Xiaoban Ri, and cost a thousand or two thousand casualties, but they couldn't even touch the top of the city, so they had no choice but to send an order to withdraw their troops.

In fact, it was not because the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers was too poor, but mainly because Zhou You was sitting at the head of the city, which made the morale of Liangshan people like a rainbow.They were originally the defenders of the city, and they occupied the right time and place, which caused more casualties among the officers and soldiers.

And this siege also allowed Hu Yanzhuo to test out the true combat effectiveness of the Liangshan troops.At the very least, it can be determined that they are very good at defense.In fact, this is exactly the way officers and soldiers are good at fighting.The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, especially in the later period, were really hard to describe when they were fighting with foreigners.

The failure of the siege, coupled with the bravery of Zhou You and Liangshan's generals, made Hu Yanzhuo's heart a little heavy.If the fight continues like this, even if Gaotang Prefecture is captured at all costs, how many troops will be left under his command?

Although this Hu Yanzhuo is not a wise general, he is not a reckless man who can only go on a rampage, so he can naturally weigh the pros and cons.

Therefore, Hu Yanzhuo did not continue to attack the city, but instead of attacking Gaotang City, one was waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and the other was also waiting for more powerful siege equipment.

In ancient times, although the trebuchet was a very powerful siege tool, with the invention and utilization of firearms, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, artillery was the real weapon on the battlefield, especially in siege operations. The machine is much more powerful.

In the city of Gaotang, on top of the somewhat messy city, Zhou You, Wu Yong, Song Jiang, Lin Chong and other Liangshan generals came to inspect the city defense again in the evening..

"It was just a siege trial, and Hu Yanzhuo didn't attack the city anymore. Obviously, he is not afraid, but he is waiting for the arrival of reinforcements," Wu Yong said with a frown.

Zhou You shook his head and smiled: "The reinforcements didn't come so quickly. What Hu Yanzhuo was waiting for was Ling Zhen, nicknamed 'Boom Thunder' from the Jeju Prefecture. This man is not only skilled in martial arts, but also good at making artillery..."

"Artillery? Not good! Brother, once the officers and soldiers attack the city with artillery, Gaotang is not a big city, so I'm afraid they won't be able to resist it? Even if we can hold it, my brother Liangshan will suffer heavy casualties!" Before Zhou You finished speaking, Wu Yong's face changed and he said hastily.

Song Jiang on the side also changed his face: "That's right! Brother, I have to find a way to stop this Ling Zhen, otherwise once Ling Zhen comes with artillery..."

"Haha.. What are you in a hurry for? The artillery is heavy, and Jeju Prefecture is still some distance away from Gaotang. How can it be shipped so fast? Besides, even if Ling Zhen transported the artillery, it's hard to say who the artillery will hit at that time! "Zhou You said with a smile.

"Brother, then Ling Zhen..." Wu Yong's eyes brightened when he heard it, and Zhou You nodded with a light smile: "Yes, I have some friendship with him. This Ling Zhen is very obsessed with firearms, I vote for him Good thing, we have already become close friends with him. Therefore, this time he will definitely help me in Liangshan."

"In a short period of time, Ling Zhen and the artillery he transported will not come back. Ling Zhen will be 'belated' when Hu Yanzhuo's reinforcements arrive. At that time, the inside and the outside will cooperate to directly destroy Hu Yanzhuo," Zhou You said with a confident smile: " After Hu Yanzhuo and his reinforcements have been dealt with, the surrounding Zhou mansions are empty of troops, if we take the opportunity to advance, it will not be difficult to take down a few more Zhou mansions."

"Brother is wise, in the strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and all thoughts are ahead of us," Song Jianglian flattered on the side with a smile.

"This is called encircling the spot to fight for reinforcements, diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and then taking the back road," Zhou You said with a smile, "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, do they really think that what I want is Gaotang Prefecture? With determination and confidence, how could I easily raise troops to confront the Song court? Those who do not seek the overall situation are not worth a certain domain!"

Zhou You's words made Wu Yong, Song Jiang, Lin Chong and other generals look at each other, their hearts cheered up with burning eyes.

If they can really take over several states in a short period of time, Ma Ke, a Liangshan native, will no longer be a bandit in a puddle, but a real rise, and have the qualifications to compete with the Song Dynasty court for the world!

"Brother, it's better to be careful, in case Gao Tang is in danger after Hu Yanzhuo's reinforcements arrive!" Wu Yong was still relatively steady, and even reminded him carefully.

Zhou You nodded noncommittally and said: "Don't worry, I still have a sharp weapon to defend the city! Besides, Hu Yanzhuo is not the only one who has reinforcements!"
