The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 112
"This person must be Li Yuan's general Huang Zhong. I have heard for a long time that Huang Hansheng is very skilled in martial arts, and his archery skills are superb. I didn't expect to be able to shoot from more than 100 steps away from the city, and he could shoot so accurately." Ji Ling seemed to be able to feel it. Seeing the cold light in Huang Zhong's eyes, sweat dripped from his forehead.

"My lord, the city is in danger. Please go back to the city. I'll just stand by." Liang Gang was worried about Yuan Shu's safety, so he suggested that Yuan Shu go back to the city to rest. break.

"Okay, then I will leave the defense of Lujiang to you." Yuan Shu was frightened and wanted to go back even if Liang Gang didn't tell him.

After Yuan Shu left, Ji Ling personally supervised the battle. If the Lujiang River was destroyed, they would be defeated and die, so they had no way to retreat in this battle.

"My lord, Yuan Shu has already returned." Huang Zhong returned to Li Yuan after completing the task.

"Okay, Han Sheng is indeed a good archer. He can shoot from such a long distance. This archery skill is enough to be called the best in the world." Li Yuan admired Huang Zhong's archery skills very much. Although he can also shoot arrows, he just The second-rate level is far from Huang Zhong's. I don't know why. Although he has worked hard to practice archery, he can't improve his skills. It proves that the sky is relatively fair, and there is no perfect person in the world.

Huang Zhong's use of archery to intimidate Yuan Shu was just a small episode. The soldiers were still charging hard. At this moment, many people had come to the city. Because they held shields in their hands to resist, there were not many wounded soldiers, only a small part. That's all, the wounded soldiers were shot by arrows because they were carrying the ladder.

Ji Ling watched anxiously on the city, because they had already fired several rounds, but the damage to Li Yuan's army was not great, which made him have to admire Li Yuan's military quality, whether it was field battles or siege battles, he performed very well. Well, there were hardly any weaknesses, which both terrified and envied him.

After half an hour of hard work, the ladders finally reached the top of the city. Some soldiers pretended to climb up. Ji Ling on the city made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the rolling stones and trees to be thrown down.

In an instant, countless stones and logs kept falling from the city, but Li Yuan had already ordered his soldiers not to climb the ladders, just put on a show, as long as they saw the other party throwing stones, they would immediately retreat, and the ladders were not necessary. No matter, if you smash it, you can smash it, as long as people are fine, things like ladders can be rebuilt, although it is a bit troublesome.

Therefore, the soldiers followed Li Yuan's instructions. When they saw the enemy throwing rocks and trees from the city, they all ran back one after another.

Ji Ling stared at this scene dumbfounded, thinking that it was a good time for Li Yuanjun to set up the ladder with great difficulty, and it was a good time to attack the top of the city, but now he is going to leave without taking a cloud, which makes him a little helpless. The rolling stones that had just been ordered to be thrown down did not have any effect, because the soldiers under the city had already run away and fled.

The first batch of soldiers who attacked the city retreated back, Li Yuan immediately asked them to hand over their shields, and then let the second batch of soldiers charge. This time, Li Yuan and Ji Ling had a great time fighting the siege, but they did not die on the battlefield. With a few people, this scene looks a bit weird.

The siege lasted for several hours, and gradually the sun set in the west. Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Yuan summoned gold to withdraw his troops, and asked the soldiers to return to the camp to light a fire and cook. They rested for one night before continuing to fight the next day.

In the tent, Li Yuan did not rest, but discussed matters with Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu.

"Attack Lujiang for two consecutive days. On the first day, Yuan Shu lost his troops and lost his generals. On the second day, he was frightened by Han Sheng and returned to the city. I don't know when Sun Ce will do it." Some soldiers and horses were lost. If Sun Ce didn't do anything again, he would be a little disappointed.

"My lord, there is no need to worry. Sun Ce is not like a useless person. With his bravery and Zhou Yu's wisdom, no one in Lujiang City can match them. In addition, his generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang are all Martial arts are extraordinary, so the chances of success should be great." Xi Zhicai told Li Yuan to rest assured that Sun Ce would not let them down.

"Even if Sun Ce doesn't do it tonight, he probably will do it in the next few days. My lord injured him yesterday, which may make it a bit inconvenient for him to move around, so he will rest for a day or two. We need to pay close attention to the changes in Lujiang City. If the flames are soaring, it should be Sun Ce who started to attack." Cheng Yu also thought that Sun Ce was waiting for the best opportunity, after all, there is only one opportunity, and once he misses it, there is no possibility of making a move.

"If my lord is still not at ease, then I can create another chance for Sun Ce." Xi Zhicai said.

"How to create another opportunity?" Li Yuan looked at Xi Zhicai curiously. Xi Zhicai was full of tricks and was his most trusted military adviser, even Cheng Yu was not as good.

"Attack Lujiang at night." Xi Zhicai only said four words.

"A night attack on Lujiang? This is unlikely to succeed. Ji Ling is not an incompetent person. With his prudence, he will definitely arrange manned patrols. The chance of a successful night attack is very slim." Li Yuan disagreed with Xi Zhicai's strategy.

"My lord's words are wrong. The night attack is just a superficial effort. If we attract Yuan Shujun's attention." Cheng Yu reacted very quickly, and immediately understood Xi Zhicai's intentions.

Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded, "That's right, if Sun Ce is smart enough, he will strike while I am waiting for the night attack."

Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and felt that this plan was feasible, so he ordered: "Okay, as Zhicai said, carry out a night attack tonight!"

At midnight, it was already late at night, and Yuan Shu's army was exhausted after a whole day's defensive battle. At this time, the tense nerves were completely relaxed, and many people had already fallen asleep, leaving only a hundred people patrolling on the top of the city to guard Li Yuan's army attacked at night.

"It's so late, there is no night attack, let's go to sleep." A young soldier yawned, he was already very tired, if it wasn't for patrolling, he would have already lay down and slept.

"You want to die, kid. If General Ji Ling finds out, he will serve you with military law." A veteran reprimanded him. He had followed Ji Ling for a long time, and he knew that Ji Ling's army was strictly disciplined. Night patrols were a very important task. It is very likely to be successfully attacked by the enemy, and the consequences are not something these little soldiers can afford.

"But it's so late, no matter how powerful Li Yuan is, he still has to sleep. How could he attack at night? Maybe he slept in the camp, but we were outside in the cold and wind." The young soldier complained.

"You young people really don't grow your brains if you don't learn a lesson. Now it's better to work harder than lose your life." The veteran said earnestly.
