An army of 70,000 did not need to attack outside the city, just a shout was enough to make some defenders collapse without a fight.

But fortunately, Kuai Liang is a person with some ability, and he tried his best to let the defenders on the city tower temporarily suppress their fears. Strive to pacify the enemy soldiers defending the outside of the castle tower, facing the attack that may come at any time.

Kuailiang's face has not been very good, and he is pacing back and forth on the castle tower.

He never expected that Liu Zheng would actually send 70,000 soldiers and horses over at this time to attack Runan directly.

In fact, there was some news from Jingzhou before, saying that Liu Zheng was near Jingzhou, with nearly 100,000 troops, and wanted to start a war and capture Jingzhou, so he would transfer some of the people and horses that Yuzhou had recruited with great difficulty to Jingzhou.

Kuai Liang also believes that Liu Zheng's target must be Jingzhou.

A few days ago, there was news from Jingzhou that Liu Zheng's men were sweeping through several county towns in Jiangxia County, as if they were about to occupy Jiangxia.

All eyes were focused on Jingzhou, but they never expected that Liu Zheng killed a horse pistol, and the war in Jingzhou was stalemate, but suddenly led troops to appear in the Runan area of Yuzhou.

As soon as Kuai Liang learned the news, he wanted to spread the news to Jingzhou.

He knew that Liu Zheng's men and horses appeared in Jingzhou, it must be Liu Zheng's idea of attacking the east and west, and it seemed that he was attacking Jingzhou on the surface, but in fact he was preparing to attack Yuzhou.

As long as Yuzhou is defeated, Liu Zheng is really like a sharp knife, piercing into the hinterland of the imperial court.

Jin can deal with the people and horses of Jingzhou, and can even attack the land of Gyeonggi from Yingchuan, and can also cut off the connection between the imperial court and Yanzhou, so that the Han world can really be divided into two.

The more Kuai Liang thought about these things, the more scared he felt.

If Liu Zheng really occupies Yuzhou, things will really be extremely unfavorable to Liu Biao.

It is precisely for this reason that Kuai Liang really wants to pass on a message to Liu Biao, telling Liu Biao that Liu Zheng's strength on Jingzhou is not much at this time, so he gathers all his men and horses, enters Jingzhou, defeats Liu Zheng's men in Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and regains control of Jingzhou, which is a great opportunity at this time.

But Kuai Liang couldn't pass on this news, because at this time, Runan had been surrounded by Liu Zheng's men and horses, and the thousands of cavalry had already made the thousands of defenders in Runan City dare not act rashly.

Now that there are suddenly 60,000 more soldiers and horses, Kuailiang on the city tower is naturally even more nervous, where can he bring people to break through.

I can only hold on to the city for the time being and see how it goes.

Runan City.

After Sun Jian and Zhou Yu's troops arrived, Liu Zheng didn't care, on the one hand, he asked Xu Huang to lead the men and horses to cut off the road from Yuzhou to Jingzhou first.

On the other hand, he immediately asked Liu Chong to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Runan.

Originally, there were only 5,000 defenders left in Runan City, but in the last two days, after Kuai Liang knew that there was going to be a big battle, he forcibly recruited another wave of men and horses in Runan City, and counting the urgently recruited manpower, there were no more than 8,000 people and horses who could participate in the defense of the city.

Liu Pet wants to rely on the 20,000 people he brought from Chen Guo to build this Runan City, but it is actually very difficult.

However, Liu Pet did not give up because of the difficulty, on the contrary, the more difficult it was, the more he wanted to perform in front of Liu Zheng.

On the one hand, because of their own men and horses began to build siege equipment, on the other hand, they have begun to let the horses and soldiers under the city eye, making it appear that they will attack at any time.

Two days ago, Liu Zheng was already in this Runan City, letting his cavalry continue to attack, disrupting the work and rest time of these city defense soldiers, and now Liu Chong led his soldiers and horses to feint, which made those soldiers on the city tower even more nervous.

And so another two days passed.

Liu Pet was not in a hurry to attack the city, but after making all the preparations first, he hurriedly walked in front of Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I want to borrow Your Majesty's 40,000 troops for the time being!"

Liu Pet made a request at Liu Zheng.

When Liu Zheng heard Liu Chong's words, he showed a curious look.

"Oh?"

Seeing Liu Zheng's puzzled look, Liu Pet hurriedly explained.

"I borrowed His Majesty's army, not to let them attack the city with me, but to let them sit under the city, to give the defenders on the city tower some fear, I can use strategies to take down this Runan City!"

Zhou Yu was also in the big tent, and after hearing Liu Chong's words, he just wanted to open his mouth to question Liu Chong, but saw Liu Zheng nodding.

"Okay, I'll lend you the army for the time being, but I want to see if you have any way to take down this Runan City."

Zhou Yu originally wanted to say something, but when he heard that Liu Zheng had already agreed to Liu Chong, he didn't talk anymore.

I only heard Liu Zheng turn his head again and give an order to Zhou Yu and Sun Jian.

"Zhou Yu and Sun Jian, the two of you will cooperate with King Chen to jointly take this Runan City!"

"Yes, the last general commands!"

After Liu Zheng gave Liu Pet an order, he immediately made Liu Pet happy.

After getting Liu Zheng's help, Liu Pet had nothing to hesitate about, and immediately began to discuss the war with Zhou Yu and Sun Jian.

Liu Zheng walked out of the big tent, and the three-way army didn't let Liu Zheng wait too long, just when Liu Zheng came out of the camp, the three-way army had already begun to move.

Liu Pet did not let Zhou Yu and Sun Jian's soldiers and horses attack Runan, Liu Chong's purpose was actually very simple, 60,000 troops, just the momentum was enough to make Kuai Liang and these guards frightened.

The army of 60,000 was divided into three.

Two of them were 10,000 men and horses that appeared at the other two city gates in Runan, the main city gate, and an army of 40,000.

These 40,000 troops have been at the southern gate.

However, he did not attack for a long time, but issued a momentum to attack under the city, and the momentum was very large.

From time to time, a part of the men and horses were sent to the other gates.

Every once in a while, there are fewer people.

40,000 horses, after a while, it became 35,000, and not long after, it became 30,000 again.

And then it became twenty thousand.

Kuai Liang on the city tower looked nervous, and from time to time he poked his head out to observe the people and horses under the city.

But these people, just don't attack, but they keep making offensive roars.

Kuai Liang on the tower of the city really didn't dare to be careless.

But after glancing left and right, the enemy army under the city, Kuai Liang frowned.

"Didn't there be thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses outside the city just now, why are there so many fewer people all of a sudden?"

Kuai Liang noticed that from both sides of the battlefield, from time to time, some men and horses were going to the other city gate in batches.

And Kuai Liang himself, here at the south city gate, gathered more than half of the defenders in the city.

Eight thousand defenders, five thousand people at the south gate alone!
