Chapter 433: Frustrated Siege

With a roar, Guan Yu rushed back to Yingyang City on his bay red horse, and the city gate was immediately closed tightly.

Yan Xiang stared blankly at the side, and didn't realize it until now, and hurried forward: "General Ji, how are you doing?"

"Ahem, I will not die."

Ji Ling managed to stand up with the support of his own soldiers, but his yellow face was now as pale as gold paper, very weak.

Seeing that Ji Ling was still alive, Yan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, General Ji won't show his bravery in the future, you know?"

Ji Ling smiled wryly: "I didn't listen to Yan Zong's words before, and now I regret it very much."

"General Ji, our morale has suffered a setback today, so why don't we withdraw our troops and return to the camp for the time being, how about taking a rest before making calculations?" Yan Xiang suggested.

Ji Ling shook his head: "No, I will be entrusted by the lord, how can I miss the lord's great cause because of my own selfishness?"

After finishing speaking, Ji Lingqiang summoned up his spirit and ordered: "Xun Zheng, I will go back to the camp to recuperate for now, and you will oversee the attack on the city instead of me."

General Xun Zheng clasped his fists and said, "General Ji, don't worry, the small town of Yingyang will come sooner or later!"

Ji Ling turned to look at Yan Xiang: "Yan is engaged, the soldiers are fierce and the war is in danger, let's go back to the camp and talk about it?"

Yan Xiang shook his head: "General Ji is seriously injured, let's go back and rest, someone is here to assist Xun Zheng."

"Okay." Ji Ling was seriously injured, so he didn't say much to Yan Xiang, and surrounded by dozens of soldiers, he turned and went back to the camp.

Seeing that Ji Ling was gone, Xun Zheng cheered up and gave orders.

"Cut down trees, build ladders, and prepare to attack the city!"

Under Xun Zheng's order, 30,000 Yuan Shu's army was immediately mobilized to cut down trees and build ladders. Archers lined up less than 200 paces outside the city, preparing to attack the city.

Although Ji Ling was defeated before, Yuan Shu's army was large and powerful after all, so they quickly surrounded Yingyang City, and the battle clouds were dense for a while, and the atmosphere in Yingyang City suddenly became tense.

Seeing that Yuan Shu's soldiers were numerous and powerful, and most of the soldiers in the city were young men recruited temporarily, he couldn't help becoming nervous.

"Mr. Xianhe, there is danger on the top of the city, you can go down."

Guan Yu's proud voice suddenly sounded, and the eyes of Liu Bei's soldiers on the top of the city were all attracted to him.

Guan Yu, holding the Qinglong Saber, stood on the top of the city like a god, fearless. Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Liu Bei immediately boosted their morale.

Guan Yu said loudly: "The enemy has nothing to fear, as long as the whole army obeys my command, defeating the enemy is easy!"

While speaking, Yuan Jun's ladder had been built, and tens of thousands of Yuan Jun's infantry were slowly gathering towards Yingyang City with the ladder on their shoulders.

At the same time, Yuan Jun's archers below the city head also raised their bows and arrows one after another, suppressing Liu Bei's infantry above the city head with a dense rain of arrows. There are thousands of Yuan Jun's archers, and the arrows and crossbows are like springs, covering the sky and covering the earth.

In fear, Liu Bei's soldiers hurriedly hid behind the parapet, trembling.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, holding a shield to block the flying arrows.

"Swords and shields cover, archers fight back!"

Under Guan Yu's order, the 2,000 elite Liu Bei left in the city took the lead. They didn't shrink back like ordinary young and strong, but bravely appeared on the front line of the city with shields in hand. He poured down arrows with all his strength to compete with Yuan Jun's archers.

Yuan Shujun's infantry slowly climbed forward along the ladder.

"Rolling logs, rolling stones!"

The sharpened log and huge boulder were picked up by the strong young man in the city, and thrown down abruptly. The heavy rolling wood and rocks immediately smashed Yuan Shujun's infantry to the ground.

As Guan Yu commanded and gradually adapted, the young and strong gradually became bolder, but Yingyang City was not a strong city after all, so Yuan Shujun finally climbed to the top of the city.

A Yuan Shu saber and shield hand rushed to the top of the wall with great difficulty, extremely excited.

"Hey, you stragglers also want to compete with our army?"

Yuan Jun's sword and shield hand let out a grin, and the ring-head knife aimed at the startled young man and slashed out. The defenseless young man immediately fell to the ground, bleeding.

More and more Yuan Jun rushed to the top of the city. They were quite experienced, and they naturally slaughtered the young men who had just joined the battle in the city.

"Die!"

Yuan Jun gave a loud shout, and cut off a young and strong man's neck with his sword around his head. Seeing that Liu Beijun's young and strong body was about to be separated.

when!

A green dragon knife blocked the knife.

"How can you speak bravely when you are in harmony?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly, swung the Azure Dragon Saber horizontally in a circle, and the piercing light of the knife covered a circle of cross-sections. Three Yuan Shujun, one Shichang and two sword and shield hands were chopped off in half.

"The enemy army is nothing more than that, as long as you have the courage, you will be fine!"

Guan Yu saw that the city defense was urgent, so he rushed forward with more than a hundred soldiers without saying a word. He opened and closed a green dragon saber in his hand.

"He defeated General Ji Ling with two swords, can we be his opponent?"

"Not good, go back!"

Yuan Shujun was afraid of Guan Yu, and when he saw Guan Yu approaching in person, he was terrified and retreated hastily.

Under the leadership of Guan Yu, Liu Bei's young and strong army fought back. Yuan Shu's army on the top of the city is far superior to Liu Bei's army who was temporarily armed in terms of equipment and training, but at the moment it is retreating steadily.

"I'm so pissed off!" Xun Zheng looked under the wall in dismay, "Damn it, you're not allowed to retreat, let me go, whoever comes down, I'll cut him off first!"

"it's useless."

Yan Xiang at the side suddenly let out a long sigh, Xun Zheng frowned and looked over.

"Yan Zong, what do you mean?" Xun Zheng asked dissatisfied.

Yan Xiang shook his head: "General Xun, order the soldiers to retreat and stop entangled with the enemy."

Xun Zheng snorted coldly: "General Ji entrusted me with orders, how can I retreat so easily?"

Yan Xiang said sternly: "Today Guan Yu defeated General Ji, and the 30,000 soldiers saw all of them in full view. Now that morale is low, if you continue to entangle with Guan Yu, you will definitely lose your troops. It is better to suspend the army for now, and we will make a fuss tomorrow."

Xun Zheng snorted: "The small town of Yingyang can be destroyed in a day and night, Yan Zong can just watch it!"

"Ah..." Seeing that Xun Zheng was not persuaded, Yan Xiang could only let out a long sigh and turned around.

Xun Zheng refused to retreat, while Yuan Shu's army was afraid of Guan Yu's bravery and did not dare to go forward. On the contrary, thousands of young men in the city fought back under the leadership of Guan Yu. Yuan Shu's army killed and injured thousands of people, and the casualties were huge.

Finally, Yuan Shujun couldn't hold on anymore, and began to retreat without Xun Zheng's order.

Xun Zheng was furious, holding a long knife, rushed forward and beheaded a soldier with his own hands, and said angrily, "You are not allowed to retreat."
