Chapter 197: It doesn't matter if you surrender or not

Two hundred miles, with Tian Kai's marching speed in the past few days, he will be able to reach it the day after tomorrow at the latest.

In other words, Zhao Hui only has today and tomorrow to be able to attack Yuyang County with all his might.

From the day after tomorrow, Zhao Hui must divide his forces to deal with Tian Kai.

Two days is enough for Zhao Hui.

Even in two days, with the current situation in Yuyang County, Zhao Hui can be defeated in one day.

Liao Hua went to the city to shout.

"My general originally wanted to use the road to conquer Gongsun Zhan, and he had no intention of embarrassing Yuyang County, but Li Biao insisted on blocking the advance of the army.

Today, we have seen that our army is strong, and if we continue to resist stubbornly, we will be wiped out.

Zhao is too kind-hearted and does not want to hurt the innocent, as long as you wait for Kaecheng to surrender, you can not blame the past. ”

Eighty percent of the soldiers in Yuyang County are all recruits. Zhao Hui really wanted them to surrender and submit to himself.

In fact, there is no need for Liao Hua to shout, after seeing the power of the catapult, those recruits in the city have no will to fight.

Among the generals under Li Biao and the various officials of Yuyang County, there were already many people who thought that there was no hope of victory in this war and wanted to persuade Li Biao to surrender.

In the Taishou Mansion, Li Biao looked at his long history, as well as Du Wei and others.

"You don't have to say any more, I won't surrender to him. You don't have to worry too much, Zhao Hui is arrogant and arrogant, he gave us a day to think, and he lost the best opportunity.

As long as we hold on for one more day tomorrow, reinforcements from the post-Amada Kai will arrive. Rest assured, even if he has a catapult, this battle will definitely be ours. ”

"Let's all disperse, prepare for war, don't be careless."

It's just that Li Biao's words didn't bring much confidence to these generals.

"Duwei Yang, can you have confidence in defending the city tomorrow?"

"If I hold on for only one day, I am naturally sure, but I am afraid that the reinforcements will not arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Well, actually, I don't think it's a big deal to surrender."

"Shhh

Unlike Zhao Hui's Shanggu County, all the teams were brought up by Zhao Hui.

No one will object to Zhao Hui's final decision.

When Zhao Hui decides on something, everyone must prepare for this matter and carry out their own tasks.

Everyone twisted into a rope and pushed in the same direction.

Li Biao wanted to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements. And many of his subordinates have already stood on the opposite side of him, but they have not expressed it for the time being.

These will not only drag Li Biao back, but may also give Li Biao a fatal blow in the back for their own sake.

With Zhao Hui releasing the surrender and exoneration, a crack has appeared inside Li Biao, and this crack will get bigger and bigger.

"My lord, why do you need to give them a day, if you want me to say that an hour is enough for them, and if you don't agree, you will break his city and kill them all." Dian Wei said in the barracks.

The army came to the city, but the result was only a few rounds of stones thrown by catapults, which made Dian Wei, who wanted to fight, uncomfortable.

Not only Dian Wei, but also Zhang Wang, Liao Hua and others couldn't figure it out.

If Yuyang County is difficult to attack, then it is normal to force the other party to surrender and reduce its own casualties.

But today, they can use the power of catapults to directly break through the city in one fell swoop under the panic of the recruits defending the city.

Why continue to waste time, and it's still a day, Tian Kai's army will arrive the day after tomorrow.

Zhao Hui said: "It doesn't matter if they surrender tomorrow or not, I hope they don't surrender tomorrow." ”

Zhao Hui's words made Dian Wei Guan Hai and others very confused.

Xu Shu understood a little and said, "Lord, do you want to destroy Tian Kai's reinforcements first?" ”

Zhao Hui nodded and said, "If the city is broken or Li Biao surrenders, will Tian Kai still come?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "He must have turned around and ran." ”

Zhao Hui said: "So we must destroy Tian Kai first, it is best not to break the city, if Li Biao does not surrender tomorrow, we will only feint." ”

Liao Hua said: "What if Li Biao surrenders? ”

"Then we'll go straight into the city. Isn't it good to take a city without spending a single soldier? ”

The next day, under the city of Yuyang County.

"Surrender and not die, surrender and not die."

Zhao Hui's soldiers shouted loudly under the city.

Li Biao stood on the city wall and said: "Zhao Hui Xiao'er, if you want to fight, you think I'm still afraid that you won't succeed and want me to surrender, I tell you, no way." ”

Zhao Hui rode to the front and shouted, "Li Biao, since you don't surrender, don't blame me for killing later." ”

"Siege!"

Zhao Hui ordered, and the drums sounded.

Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses, holding shields and ladders, approached the city wall.

On the city wall, Li Biao also ordered the archers to fire arrows at Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses first.

Guan Hai and the others symbolically blocked it with a shield for a while, not counting the dense rain of arrows, and then retreated.

Today it was just a feint, even if the rain of arrows was not a great threat to them.

As a Taishou, but Li Biao, who didn't have much experience in war, didn't see it.

On the city wall, watching Zhao Hui's soldiers retreat, he laughed: "I thought they were so powerful, but so, don't worry, as long as you stick to today, our reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, and when the time comes, go out of the city and let them know who is more powerful." ”

After Guan Hai retreated, after a while, the catapult was pushed out again.

But compared to the stones that were launched yesterday, the stones are much smaller today. The accuracy was also much worse, and many stones fell directly in front of the city wall.

The catapult only fired two rounds of stones before stopping, and then Zhang Wangliao Hua and a group of soldiers began to charge.

And Li Biao, who had just hidden, also resurfaced on the city wall after seeing that no stones had fallen.

Zhang Wangliaohua also retreated after losing a few ladders.

Li Biao on the city wall, commanding the soldiers one after another, repelled the offensive of Zhao Hui's army, and his confidence increased greatly, and he scolded Fang Xuan on the city wall.

It's just that Du Wei Yang Lin has a strange feeling in his heart.

Although he was confident that he would hold on for one day, today's siege battle still made him feel too relaxed.

If Zhao Huijun only had such a performance, not to mention holding on for a day, there would be no problem for a month, and there would be no need to wait for Tian Kai's reinforcements at all.

Yang Lin was a little puzzled, seeing that Zhao Hui's army had retreated again, he came to Li Biao's side and said, "My lord, I feel a little wrong. ”

After all, Li Biao has only recently started recruiting soldiers and horses, and Yang Lin is the governor of Yuyang County, not appointed by Li Biao, but appointed by the imperial court before.

Here, they are just a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, at least for the time being, Yang Lin is not absolutely loyal to Li Biao.

It was only because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates that he obeyed Li Biao's orders.

He did not call Li Biao the lord.
