Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"Wen Ruo and I have known each other and worked together for many years, but we don’t know Wen Ruo as well as Deng Guo."

"This Deng Ziyu is truly a divine man."

"King Yan has such a divine assistant, and all of us combined are no match for him. How can Cao Cao be undefeated..."

Guo Jia secretly admired in his heart.

Then he raised his hand and echoed:

"Your Majesty, I also agree with what Deng Guoxiang said."

"Xun Wenruo must have been extremely disappointed with Cao Cao and determined to surrender to the king and avenge the late emperor!"

"Its confidence is believable!"

Hearing this, the suspicion in Liu Bei's eyes disappeared at this moment.

"Since both Ziyu and Fengxiao believe in Xun Wenruo, I, the king, should have no doubt about it"

"According to what Xun Wenruo said, tomorrow the whole army will pretend to attack the south gate to attract Cao Xiu's attention."

"After Sun Li opened the east gate, my main army rushed into Yecheng from the east gate!"

Liu Bei's order was passed down.

The generals were determined and accepted the order with great enthusiasm.

…

The next day, at dusk.

Nearly 100,000 Yan troops gathered at the south gate of Yecheng. 02

An offensive war of unprecedented scale since the war began seems to be about to begin. at this time.

Cao Xiu, who heard the news, had already boarded the south gate tower one step ahead.

Looking at the swarming Yan army outside the city, Cao Xiu took a breath of cold air.

"Big-eared thief, it seems that you plan to use the south gate as a breakthrough and attack my south gate with the main force..."

Cao Xiu clenched his fists and shouted immediately:

"Pass the order and move more than half of the troops to the south gate!"

"Hurry, be quick!"

The sound of gongs and assembly sounded.

Thousands of Wei soldiers were transferred from other gates to the south gate.

In less than half an hour, the number of Wei troops gathered on the line of the south city wall had reached nearly 6,000.

This number, It is already nearly 70% of the total number of Wei troops.

"I hope that in this battle, we can withstand the attack of the big-eared thieves."

"As long as we persist through this level, I will give the order to abandon the defense of Yecheng and retreat to Bingzhou as soon as possible."

"This is already the fifth day. I have bought five days for Your Majesty to retreat westward, which should be enough..."

Cao Xiu murmured to himself, thinking secretly.

At this moment, the Yan army was in formation outside the city.

The chilling trumpet sounded, piercing the sky.

The flag of the Yan Army waved, and the drums suddenly sounded. The military formations moved with a bang, and with the force of the earth falling apart, they began to advance towards the south gate.

The Yan Army's siege The battle officially began.

At this moment, along the city line, the nervous soldiers of Wei, who were already uneasy, became tense and their bodies began to tremble slightly.

Obviously, at this point in the battle, their spirit and will have been exhausted. At the end of the battle, they all felt guilty when facing the strongest attack of the Yan army.

Before the battle, their morale was already low.

Cao Xiu felt that the soldiers' fighting spirit was not high, so he immediately drew his sword from its scabbard and shouted:

"Generals of the Wei Dynasty, the time has come to serve the Emperor."

"Show your blood and fight again today"

"After this battle, we will abandon the city and retreat to the west!"

Cao Xiu didn't have any good way to boost morale. He could only give a promise to abandon the city and retreat to the west. He wanted to let the Wei soldiers see hope, cheer them up, risk their lives, and fight this last battle.

When the six thousand Wei soldiers heard that they would abandon the city after the battle, their spirits were lifted.

So they all clenched their swords and guns, mustered up their courage, and prepared to fight to the death.

Outside the city.

In front. More than 50,000 Yan troops lined up and had advanced a hundred steps in front of the city.

Huang Zhong pointed his long sword and shouted:

"Send the order, crossbowmen, shoot me to death!"

The war drums sounded.

Ten thousand crossbowmen picked up their strong bows and crossbows and began to fire wildly at the south gate of Yecheng.

"Woohoo!"

Thousands of sharp arrows soared into the sky, like a dragnet, and struck overwhelmingly toward the city. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Screams rang out, and countless Wei soldiers fell to the bottom of the city. Not to be outdone ,

Cao Xiu immediately ordered a counterattack with crossbowmen.

The Wei army's crossbowmen could only hold up the rain of arrows above their heads, and reluctantly fired arrows at the Yan army.

Unfortunately, the Wei army's crossbowmen were too weak. There are less, just more than a thousand people.

Thousands of sharp arrows, compared to the tens of thousands of arrows fired by the Yan army, are simply shabby.

In the Yan army's formation, there were only a few scattered screams, and they were injured by enemy arrows. There were only a few people there.

So, suppressed by the overwhelming arrow rain, the Yan army quickly advanced to the city.

"Siege team, siege the city!"

"Nail that boy Cao Xiu to the south gate for me!"

Huang Zhong waved his long sword and ordered again.

The Yan army broke into formation, carrying countless ladders, and swept up the Nancheng line like a tide.

Hundreds of ladders quickly leaned against the city wall.

Yan The soldiers all rushed up the ladder and climbed up the city wall regardless of their own safety.[]

In the blink of an eye, the city wall stretching for hundreds of steps was densely covered with Yan soldiers.

"Generals of the Wei Dynasty, guard the city wall and don't take a step back!"

"Kill me!"

Cao Xiu waved his long sword and chopped down a Yan soldier who came to the city. The

Wei soldiers were all like chicken blood, roaring and shouting, and launched an attack on the Yan army who came to the city. Counterattack.

Stone bullets were dropped one after another, mercilessly hitting the Yan soldiers.

One by one, the Yan soldiers on the ladders were knocked over the city. One by one

, the ladders were knocked down by the Wei soldiers. He struggled to overthrow him to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the city wall was stained with blood.

The attack on the south gate was fierce.

And at the west gate, there were also killing sounds.

It was the Yan army commanded by Yan Liang, who also began to attack the west gate.

The east gate.

At this moment But there was silence.

Within the Yan Army's encircled camp, tens of thousands of Yan Army infantry and cavalry had assembled.

Liu Bei was standing at the camp gate, looking expectantly at the east gate from a distance.

The sound of killing continued to come from the south gate.

The scouts also kept bringing back news, claiming that Huang Zhong had led a large army to launch an unprecedentedly violent attack on the Wei army at the south gate. Nearly six thousand Wei troops were also attracted to the south gate line.

Everything was ready.

All that was needed was Xun Yu and Sun Li became shareholders

"Xun Yu, I hope you can keep your promise..."

Liu Bei's eyes fell on the east gate.

At this moment, on the tower of the east gate of Ye City,

Xun Yu was looking coldly, silently, and quietly staring in the direction of Yanying.

He knew that at this moment Liu Bei, the King of Yan, was waiting for him there.

"Prime Minister Xun, King Yan has already taken action. Should we surrender or not?"

Sun Li beside him couldn't help but asked.
