Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 150 Ji Ling Goes Out of the City
"Drumming! The whole army is attacking!" Li Song looked at the retreating catapult fleet, and looked at the top of the city. He saw the defenders on the city walking back and forth, carrying the corpses and carrying the wounded down for treatment!Li Song waved his hand!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The drummer clenched the drum hammer in his hand, waved his thick arms, and beat the battle drum in front of him with all his strength, and the sound of the war drum resounded through the sky.

The central [-] infantry launched a fierce attack on Hefei City!The soldiers raised their shields above their heads to prevent the bows and arrows from falling from the city, and forcibly crossed the moat.

Naturally, the defenders on the city would not let them cross the moat so easily. The archers on the city frantically shot the arrows in their hands at them, and shot the suppressed anger in their hearts, together with the arrows, at the enemy troops outside the city.

After being shot by arrows, many people fell into the moat. The soldiers finally crossed the moat after untold hardships, set up a ladder, and climbed up from the ladder.

The defenders on the city tried their best to prevent the enemy from climbing up. The battle was very fierce!There were countless casualties on both sides, and there were dead bodies everywhere above and below the city.

The battle continued from morning to evening. Li Song looked at the gradually darkening sky and ordered: "Send the order! Ming Jin retreats!"

"Dang!" A gong sounded!Li Song's army receded like the tide, Li Song took another look at Hefei City, and rode back to the camp. The day's battle was finally over because of the nightfall.

"Huh!" Looking at the retreating enemy army, Zhang Xun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "Finally held, the enemy army has retreated, I think it will be peaceful tonight."

"That's right! They also lost a lot! But compared to us, our army's losses are relatively large! If there are two or three more such battles, Hefei City may not be able to defend it!" Ji Ling's spirit was tense. , at this moment can finally relax!
"I'm not afraid of this! I'm afraid they will besiege my Hefei city. You and I both know that the food and grass in the city are running out. If we can't get it replenished, I'm afraid..." Zhang Xun stopped when he said this , do not go on.

Ji Ling understood the meaning of Zhang Xun's words. I am afraid that the city of Hefei will not be able to hold on at that time, and the only way to survive is to surrender, or wait for death!

Li Songjun's camp, inside the camp of the Chinese Army.

"How about the casualties of our army?" Li Song yawned wearily and asked Xu Chu who had just counted the battle damage.

"In today's battle, all the mobile arrow towers of our army were burned by the enemy's fire attack! Thousands of soldiers in the arrow tower died in front of the moat."

"Our army lost a lot of soldiers and horses in today's battle. Among them, 5000 were killed and more than [-] were injured!" Xu Chu reported the casualties to Li Song.

"I never thought that our army would lose nearly half of it within one day! Bury the soldiers who died in battle, and take good care of the wounded soldiers," Li Song said.

"Promise!" Xu Chu accepted the order, and after seeing that Li Song had no other orders, Xu Chu left.

The night passed quietly like this, and the next day, Li Song ordered the siege of the city, only to siege but not to fight!At the same time, they ordered another [-] soldiers to come and besiege the city together.

Anyway, Li Song has enough food and grass, and he is not afraid of fighting a war of attrition with Yuan Shu's army in the city. Since he can't break through Hefei City in one go, he will slowly besiege it to death. Thinking about it, Hefei City should not have much food and grass!

"My dear friends! Today, Thief Li has been besieging the city for three days. If this continues, what can we do?" Yuan Shu, who came to his senses, had already besieged the city for three days after learning that Li Song had launched an attack on Hefei City after he was unconscious. , then hurriedly summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures!
"Your Majesty! The plan for the present is to seek foreign aid! Maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" Prime Minister Yan Xiang said.

"Aiqing is right! I will write to Yuan Shao and ask him to send troops to help me!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly left the hall to write a letter to Yuan Shao.

The crowd had no choice but to retreat, while Ji Ling went to inspect the city defense situation.

"General Ji Ling! Your Majesty! Announcing your audience!" An eunuch hurriedly ran to Ji Ling who was setting up the city defense.

"Your Majesty announces my audience? I don't know what it is?" Ji Ling turned around and asked, holding the hilt of his sword.

"General, don't embarrass the villain! How can the villain know the reason, and ask the general to follow me into the palace to meet His Majesty!" The eunuch lowered his head.

"My father-in-law will lead the way!" Ji Ling said, the eunuch turned around and left, Ji Ling followed behind, and was led by the eunuch to a side hall of Yuan Shu's harem.

"Your Majesty is waiting inside! Let the general enter alone!" An eunuch walked out of the hall, greeted Ji Ling, and said to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling stepped inside and saw Yuan Shu hugging the beauty, drinking and having fun!There is no sense of urgency for the enemy to besiege the city at all.

"Stand back, all of you!" Seeing Ji Ling approaching, Yuan Shu waved his hands away, and the beauty in his arms also got up and left. When she got up, Yuan Shu did not forget to pat her perky buttocks.

"Chen Ji Ling, see Your Majesty!" Ji Ling knelt down on one knee and said after everyone had left and only he and Yuan Shu were left in the hall.

"Ji Ling! Now that the enemy is besieging the city, I'm so worried! I can't even eat!" Yuan Shu looked heartbroken, and desperately squeezed out two tears.

Watching Yuan Shu's performance, Ji Ling didn't believe his nonsense at all, what can't eat, I think you had a great time just now!Ji Ling was a little disappointed with Yuan Shu.

"My lord, I understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts!"

"Hey! It's good if you understand! I called you here this time because I have an important matter to handle!" Yuan Shu picked up the wine bottle on the table, drank it down, and put it down.

"Your Majesty, please show your Majesty! Your Majesty, I'm determined to be so heartbroken that I will die after death!" Ji Ling said.

"Okay! I order you to send this letter to Yuan Shao in Yecheng, Jizhou. You must hand it to him yourself." Yuan Shu took out a pair of plain silk from his arms and said.

"Also, you are leaving for Jizhou tonight!" After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he handed the plain silk to Ji Ling.

"I will hand it over to Duke Yuan!" Ji Ling took the silk and left.

Ji Ling waited until dark!With a group of elite soldiers, they quietly slipped out from the north gate and headed towards Jizhou in the north.

Although Ji Ling and the others were careful, they were still spotted. That person hurried back to report to Xue Tong, the person in charge of the north.

"My lord! The little one made a big discovery!" the man said after finding Xue Tong.

"What did you find?" Xue Tong asked.

"Just now, I found a group of people quietly coming out of the city. After identifying the direction, they headed north!" the man said.

"Oh! Is this serious? You didn't lie to me?" Xue Tong said.

"My lord is just joking! How dare a villain have the guts to deceive an adult! This matter is absolutely true!" the man said.
