Chapter 478 Tragic Attack and Defense

"Let the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh, a round of arrow rain fell from the sky, covering the city of Yingyang in an instant. , or hold up the shield in your hand to resist.

"Where are the pawns first? Hurry up and attack the city!"

Taking advantage of the rain of arrows from our own side to temporarily suppress the top of the city, Yuan Jun's pioneers hurriedly climbed the ladder and rushed to the top of the city with both hands and feet.

General Zhang Xun, the leader of the Yuan army, came to supervise the battle in person. Seeing thousands of sharp soldiers climbed to the top of Yingyang city, instead of looking relaxed, he frowned and became more worried.

"Don't be afraid! Where are the five hundred school swordsmen?"

But Yuan Jun's pioneers had just climbed to the top of the city, and before they had time to start their battle, a loud shout suddenly resounded through the top of the city.

"You fellow Yuan Jun, do you know Guan Yunchang?"

A Qinglong Saber fell on the head, and it suddenly slashed out with unstoppable power. A Corporal Yuan Jun opened his eyes wide, and before he could react, he was cut in half by the Qinglong Saber.

On the top of the city, a battle robe in blue, with a fluttering long beard, stands proudly on the top of the city like a god of war. It is Guan Yu.

"kill!"

Behind Guan Yu, five hundred school swordsmen rushed up. These five hundred school swordsmen had to be taught martial arts by Guan Yu himself, and their weapons and armor were all first-class in the army, so their combat effectiveness was quite strong. And known as the two elites in Liu Bei's army.

The five hundred school swordsmen formed a team of five or ten, and they cooperated closely with each other. When the sword was cut in their hands, Yuan Jun Xiandeng's soldiers were cut in half, and Yuan Jun Xiandeng's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"It's this Guan Yu again!"

Zhang Xun clenched his fists. He was ordered to lead an army of 60,000 to attack Yuzhou, but the progress was not smooth. In fact, Liu Bei's army was far behind Yuan Shu's army in combat power due to its small number, but the key lies in Liu Bei's army. The two pillars of the sky.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu was in charge of Yingchuan County, Zhang Fei was in charge of Chen State, and both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were enemies of thousands of people. After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought hard, the morale of the Yuzhou army was greatly encouraged, so they resolutely resisted. Therefore, although Zhang Xun's troops are strong, several times that of the Yuzhou Army, they have not been able to capture Yingyang City in the past few days.

The battle is still going on, tens of thousands of troops from both sides are engaged in a tragic tug-of-war on the head of the small Yingyang City, Yuan Jun and Yuzhou Army have hideous faces, you fight for each other, and spread the blood in your chest in the small square inch .

"Drive Yuan Shujun down!"

Guan Yu looked proud, as if he didn't bother beheading ordinary Yuan soldiers, so he just sat on the top of the city and watched the two armies fight. However, even if Guan Yu didn't make a move, he was still a symbol in the eyes of the Yuzhou Army, so the morale of the Yuzhou Army was still high.

The Yuzhou army was extremely resilient in defensive operations. On the other hand, Yuan Shu's army was still unable to take the top of Yingyang city after half a day of onslaught, and their morale gradually slackened.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xun frowned and said, "Forget it, Ming Jin will withdraw."

The sound of gold ringing in Zhang Xun's army sounded, and Yuan Jun's soldiers on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and then the soldiers who were still fighting fought back and forth, and the others jumped down the top of the city along the ladder.

The sky gradually turned yellow, the sky was shrouded in burning clouds, the setting sun was like blood, and a smile appeared on Guan Yu's face.

"Our army has won." Guan Yu said loudly.

"Must win!"

"Defend the city!"

The morale of the Yuzhou Army suddenly rose, and they raised their weapons and shouted loudly, cheering for the hard-won victory.

Compared to the elated atmosphere in Yingyang City, Zhang Xun's camp was full of frowns.

"Let's talk about it, if you can't break through the city today, who has any good ideas?" Zhang Xun said.

The two rows of generals on the left and right lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Zhang Xun frowned, but the generals on the left and right remained silent. Zhang Xun couldn't help being furious, and just about to explode, he felt helpless. So what if he got angry? Yingyang City still stands there and will not change.

"Forget it." Zhang Xun turned around and said, "Li Feng, how many days are there enough food for the camp?"

When Li Feng heard this, he wondered: "General, the grain and grass in the camp can be used for ten days."

"What?" Zhang Xun's face became ugly: "My 60,000 army is here, and the food and grass are only ten days old. Isn't it that the food and grass are almost exhausted? What happened!"

"General, the last general doesn't want to do that either." Li Feng smiled wryly, "But logically speaking, the food and grass should have arrived five days ago, but the last general doesn't know what happened, the food and grass still haven't arrived."

"Why didn't you report to the general!" Zhang Xun said angrily.

"The last general thought it was just a day or two of delay on the road, so he didn't tell the general. He didn't expect that the wait would be five days." Li Feng said cautiously.

"If there is no food and grass, wouldn't the 60,000 army be about to collapse?" Zhang Xun said angrily, "Send out the scouts quickly to find out the whereabouts of the food and grass, and write back to Shouchun immediately, please send more food and grass as soon as possible, Your Majesty."

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass. The more troops there were, the more urgent the demand for food and grass was. The Battle of Guandu was caused by the burning of Wu Chao's food and grass.

Zhang Xun was very old in Yuan Shu's army, second only to Ji Ling. Although he had no extraordinary talent for many years, he was very prudent in using troops, so Yuan Shu appointed him as a general with confidence.

Zhang Xun looked around, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, the news of the lack of food in the army must not be disclosed. In addition, the siege will be slowed down. All decisions must be made after the arrival of food and grass, understand?"

The left and right generals hurriedly responded: "No!"

"Okay, let's all go down."

Zhang Xun waved his hand, and the left and right generals walked out of the camp immediately, while Zhang Xun wrote a letter quickly, and then ordered the scouts in the army to send it to Shouchun quickly.

At this time, Puyang.

"General!"

Guo Jia's expression was as usual, but there was joy on the brows, and he walked quickly into the mansion.

Liu Ye was handling the documents with the bamboo slips in his hand. Seeing Guo Jia's happy face, he immediately asked, "Feng Xiao, what's wrong?"

Guo Jia excitedly said: "Fazheng is a real genius. He has made a plan for General Zhang. General Zhang led three thousand sharp soldiers to rush for tens of miles a day, cross Pingding Mountain in two days, and surprise Runan County!"

"Runan is located between Shouchun and Yingchuan, and it is the place where Yuan Jun's grain and grass transportation must pass. Now that Runan County has been cut off, Zhang Xun's grain and grass will naturally be cut off." Liu Ye analyzed.

"As a result, Zhang Xun's army is weak in succession, and it is a good time for our army to send troops!" A bright light flashed in Liu Ye's eyes.
