Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Outside the city of Ji County, there are many troops, the sound of drums is like thunder, and the sound of trumpets is always bright.

A big banner with a pole was hunting in the air.

Tens of thousands of troops of the Jizhou Army stand upright, with great momentum and unparalleled grandeur.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Lei looked at the county town of Ji County in the distance.This city is not only the seat of the government of a county, but also the seat of the government of a state.Under the construction of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, the city is majestic and tall, with solid and thick walls, and a wide urn city was built in the county seat of Jixian County, which greatly strengthened the defense of Jixian County.

It is not easy to capture Ji County.

Guo Jia stood beside Wang Lei on horseback, looked at the city, and said with emotion: "Ji County is different from Fanyang County, Zhuo County and other cities. We have built an urn city, and there are countless fortifications. It is difficult to attack Ji County."

Wang Lei asked, "What advice does Feng Xiao have?"

Guo Jia replied: "We came from Zhuo County, and now we are located in the west of Ji County. My next suggestion is to adopt a strategy of encircling three and missing one, encircling the north, west, and south sides of Ji County, and leaving the east side of Ji County as a gap. To disintegrate the determination of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army to fight to the death. Moreover, if Gongsun Zan sends troops to attack the garrisons in the west and south, the lord can also support at any time."

Surround the three directions of north, west, and south, and the soldiers in the city will think that they can escape from the east.With a way out, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army will not fight to the death.If they were all encircled, the Youzhou army must have thought of fighting to the death seeing that they could not escape.

Wang Lei thought for a while, nodded and said: "We can adopt the strategy of surrounding three and missing one."

After a while, Wang Lei ordered, "Gan Ning!"

"The end is here!"

Gan Ning stood up and answered with clasped fists.

Wang Lei's eyes were serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You will lead five thousand soldiers and station them outside the north gate of Jixian County. If the army from Youzhou launches an attack, they must be held back, and they must not be allowed to break through, understand?"

Gan Ning clasped his fists and said, "My lord, don't worry, the task will be completed in the end."

"Wen Chou!"

Wang Lei changed the subject, and his eyes fell on Wen Chou.

"The end is here!"

Wen Chou stood up with sharp eyes and high fighting spirit.

Wang Lei ordered: "You will lead [-] soldiers and station them outside the city gate in the south of Ji County. If the Youzhou army breaks through the south gate, no matter what method you take, you must hold them back."

"The last will obey!"

Wen Chou got the order, and immediately went to dispatch troops with Gan Ning.

After finishing the deployment of the army, Xu You suggested: "My lord, let's try to surrender first."

There was a look of expectation in Xu You's eyes.In the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Youzhou Army will undoubtedly lose.

The generals of the Youzhou army defending the city are not stupid, they can understand the current situation.

Wang Lei did not reject Xu You's suggestion, and asked the soldiers to prepare a piece of cloth and write a surrender document.The document written by Wang Lei is very simple, with only four words 'the surrender will not be killed'.After finishing writing, Wang Lei called to Lu Bu, handed the cloth into Lu Bu's hands, and ordered: "General Lu, shoot the surrendered cloth onto the opponent's tower."

"promise!"

Lu Bu tied the cloth to the bow and arrow, and rode out.

Not long after, Lu Bu came to the tower.He focused his eyes, took out a bow and arrow, and set the bow to shoot.Just listening to the sound of '咻', the bow and arrow pierced the air and rushed to the tower.

"Duh!"

The bow and arrow shot into the beams and pillars of the house on the city tower, and the tail of the arrow shook slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Bu rode his horse back.

The captain guarding the city took down his bow and arrow, quickly came to Guan Jing's side, and said respectfully: "Guan Changshi, this is the bow and arrow that the opponent shot into the tower, and it was tied with a piece of silk."

"What else is there, it's just a document to surrender." Guan Jing flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Bring a torch."

The captain immediately ordered the soldiers, and after a while, the burning torch was brought over.

Guan Jing took the torch, he was close to the female wall, both hands stretched out of the wall.Holding the torch in one hand and the removed cloth in the other, he set fire to the cloth that had not yet been watched, then let go, and dropped the surrendered cloth.

Arrogant and resolute!

This move shocked the generals in charge of defense on the tower.

From this action, they saw Guan Jing's determination.

Obviously, this battle must be fought to the end.After Guan Jing dropped the cloth, he dropped the torch.He took a step back, stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the county magistrate Lin Sheng and the chief general Ji Yuan, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Lei is about to order an attack and prepare to defend."

Everyone was ordered to prepare quickly.

Wang Lei was quite surprised when he saw Guan Jing's actions.

Unexpectedly, the other party could be so decisive.

That being the case, Wang Lei no longer hesitated, even though Ji County was a fortified city, it had to be captured.With sharp eyes, Wang Lei ordered, "Archers, get ready!"

After a while, a group of archers walked out of the army formation.

These archers were a special battalion, numbering 800 men.The soldiers in the battalion are all carefully selected elites.They approached the city, stopped twenty feet outside the city, and stood in a row.

"Prepare!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded.

"Fire arrows!"

In an instant, there were one after another the sound of breaking through the air.

Nearly a thousand bows and arrows shot out, as swiftly and fiercely as a gust of wind and rain.The bow and arrow drew arcs in the air, and finally landed on the tower.Only the sound of ding ding ding came out, and the bows and arrows fell on the shields held by the soldiers defending the city.

However, there were still soldiers who were shot by falling bows and arrows and died.

Guan Jing's constant commands made the soldiers resist.

The soldiers defending the city resisted the incoming bows and arrows, and the army outside the city had already moved.

A lieutenant under Qiu Hua's command led a thousand soldiers as a vanguard, and with the help of bows and arrows, they quickly approached the city wall.When the vanguard approached, weapons such as siege vehicles, cloud vehicles, and catapults also slowly approached the city and played a role.

The war machine started running at high speed.

Wang Lei stared at the majestic city wall with confidence and expectation in his eyes.Gongsun Zan stayed in Ji County and did not escape. Once Gongsun Zan was captured, the strength of the Gongsun clan in Youzhou would immediately collapse.

"My lord, look quickly, the city gate is open."

Suddenly, Guo Jia gave a reminder.

Wang Lei turned his gaze and landed on the gate of the city.

The heavy city gate opened slowly, and immediately, people with weak bodies stumbled out one by one.As the people came out, the sound of wailing came and went.

These people are old and young, ranging from seventy to eighty-year-old men, down to three- and five-year-old children.

They are all old and weak women and children!

Standing on the city tower, Guan Jing saw the old and weak women and children who were driven out of the city gate, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.The Jizhou army came aggressively, but what would they do when they met the old, weak, women and children in Jixian County?

Is it to kill the lives of the old and weak, women and children, and directly kill a bloody path?

Or do you choose to retreat?

If Wang Lei encounters such a thing, he will also have a headache.

For a moment, Guan Jing's heart was full of complacency.One of the two orders he gave the county magistrate Lin Sheng before was to arrest the people in the city and wait for the war to come.

When the war started, Guan Jing sent out the "surprising soldiers" he had prepared.
