Chapter 1068 Recovering Jizhou

However, by the time Zang Ba's soldiers and horses arrived near Liyang, it was already dark.

Zang Ba did not have a password to hand over to Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong and others in the city.

So instead of directly leading people to force through, they stayed temporarily.

I plan to wait until dawn the next day before taking someone there.

After all, the sky was dark, and even if Zang Ba brought people over, the friendly troops on the city tower might not be able to distinguish whether the people who suddenly arrived were friends or foes.

Only by waiting for the next day, after dawn, will I have greater certainty.

And in one night, there are so many things that can happen.

After the black nest was breached, Xu Chu's soldiers and horses took over in a short time and took over the defense here.

And under the leadership of Xu Chu, after crossing the Yellow River, these soldiers and horses immediately rushed to Liyang to kill.

Because of the urgency of the military situation, Xu Chu also knew that he could not hesitate, and if he hesitated, he would be defeated.

So the march was made overnight.

That night, he led the infantry to the outside of Liyang City and joined Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses.

As soon as Zhao Yun and Xu Chu converged, the troops arrived in one place, and they immediately became excited.

Let the army under his command rest well, and wait for tomorrow, and then carry out the siege of the city.

Day 2.

Genius is bright.

Outside the city of Liyang, curling smoke has already risen.

Zhao Yun's army has already begun to cook.

Before the sun came out, the soldiers in the barracks were at their best.

After a full meal, in the morning, when the sun was not fierce, they were about to begin to attack this dawn again.

This time, Zhao Yun has a lot of confidence that he can defeat Liyang.

Not only because of Xu Chu's soldiers and horses, but also because after a night's rest, their physical strength recovered, plus some siege equipment was strengthened yesterday.

The things that should be prepared have been prepared, and just wait for an order, you can let go of your hands and feet and enter this Liyang City.

"Brothers, have you eaten enough?"

"I'm full!"

"Very good, after eating this full meal, it's time to show these enemy soldiers that we are good at white horses! A small Liyang is impossible to stop our army, so I will ask you if you have the confidence to break through this city! ”

Zhao Yun stood in the center of these people, wearing armor and holding his spear, cheering and boosting the morale of many soldiers.

"Serve the imperial court and recover Jizhou!"

"Serve the imperial court and recover Jizhou!"

"Serve the imperial court and recover Jizhou!"

……

I don't know which soldier shouted.

The morale of those who were encouraged by Zhao Yun immediately followed at this moment,

For a while, the roar was like thunder.

The morale of the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command was high, and they swept away the decadent spirit that did not defeat Liyang City yesterday, and replaced them with a high-spirited state.

On the other side, Xu Chu, who was eating with Zhao Yun and planned to act as the main force for the siege, was a little surprised.

Xu Chu is about the same age as Zhao Yun.

It's just that Zhao Yun's time to fight on the battlefield is longer than Xu Chu's, and Xu Chu has only taken refuge under Liu Bei's command in the past few years.

Because of his own bravery, he was appreciated by Liu Bei and followed Zhang Fei to guard Yanzhou.

There is still no experience in attacking a city like now, and everything must be subject to Zhao Yun's dispatch and command.

"General Zilong, everything is at your command, Xu Chu and I will lead the troops to attack, and we will meet again in Liyang City!"

"Okay, Brother Zhongkang, when you enter this city, I will invite you to drink!"

Zhao Yun and Xu Chu simply encouraged each other, and then they each got on their horses, intending to approach Liyang.

The hour has just passed.

Xu Chu led 20,000 people, all of whom were ready to go, and all of them arrived at the foot of Liyang City.

Colorful flags are waving in the wind, and the army is neatly arrayed.

Xu Chu came to the front of the army.

Eyes with a fierce light.

"Attack!"

A loud shout.

Xu Chu pulled out his saber and waved his hand.

The 20,000 soldiers behind him immediately rushed towards the gate of Liyang City.

On the castle tower.

Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi stayed awake all night.

It's not because they can't sleep.

It's because they don't dare to sleep.

There are many examples of attacking cities at night, and they don't dare to be careless.

In case these enemies outside the city come to attack at night, and there is no one on the city tower to guard it, it will be bad, so Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi did not rest.

Keep watching, keep guarding until the sky is dawning, and there is no intention to rest.

Coincidentally, as soon as the day dawned, the enemy army began to organize soldiers and horses again, rushing down to the city, Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi naturally could only fight with 120,000 points of spirit and prepare to deal with it.

After the horn of the attack sounded, Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi could only lead a part of each and start defending from the top of this city tower.

With the rising sun in the sky, the shouting and killing sound of this Liyang City gradually became clear.

With the addition of 20,000 foot soldiers, the strength and ferocity of the attack have indeed been greatly improved.

Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong on the city tower had become difficult to deal with.

The attack from below the city was even more ferocious than yesterday.

First, a few trebuchets were projected at the castle tower.

Boulders rolled into the towers, bombarded the walls, and splattered all around, injuring some of the guards.

What's more, there were some guards who were not very lucky and were directly hit by the boulder, and the whole person died on the city wall.

With the cover of these trebuchets, this city tower is not easy to defend, and there are Zhao Yun's cavalry running around the city tower under the city, riding and shooting.

From time to time, arrows came up from under the castle tower, and the arrows flew past the ears of the soldiers.

These offensive methods have made it even more difficult for the already small number of soldiers on the city tower to poke their heads out.

Even the defense could only cower, so that the ladder erected under the castle tower and the ram that hit the city gate would soon break the gate of the dawn.

Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi on the city tower had more and more gloomy faces, and their eyes kept looking into the distance.

I look forward to the arrival of my own reinforcements soon.

Otherwise, their small county town would not be able to withstand such a level of onslaught.

The gate of Liyang has begun to crumble, and the sound of knock knock is overshadowed.

The door trembled as it slammed.

Xu Chu looked at the city gate that was about to be knocked down, and he was even more excited.

But at this time, not far from the outside of Liyang City, there was a sound of horns.

This is the horn sound of the attack, and the rhythm of the sound is very different from Xu Chujun's horn.

When Xu Chu heard this voice, he was immediately stunned.

Riding on his horse, he quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a group of people and horses running over in the distance.

The number of people is huge, at first glance, more than 20,000.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed ahead, rushing straight to Liyang.
