Zhang Liao Pegasus came to Xu Shu, who was watching the battle, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Xu, this city tower seems to be garrisoned by the Yuan army, if it is attacking the city after the previous bombardment, I am afraid the effect will not be satisfactory." ”

"The general thinks that it is better to let the besieging army launch a siege at the time of the shelling, and then stop the shelling when they are about to go up to the tower."

Xu Shu's original plan was very conventional, that is, after the shelling, when Yuan's army was in chaos, he would take the city in one fell swoop.

This is also the favorite tactic used by future generations of small island countries, and Xu Shu also learned about it from Li Huiyi, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be able to prevent it early.

"Okay, General Zhang went to prepare, and Shu will give the order" Xu Shuruo thought about it, and immediately agreed to Zhang Liao's suggestion, and when he ordered the artillery bombardment, the siege army began to advance.

Xu Shu agreed, Zhang Liao immediately left, began to command the Shenwu artillery, and continued to bombard the city tower.

At this time, Yuan Shao heard that the shelling had stopped, thinking that Li Jun had begun to attack the city, and immediately led the army to the city tower.

With a loud noise, Yuan Jun stopped without waiting for the order, not daring to move forward half a step, Yuan Shao was also afraid, and secretly scolded Xu Shu for being cunning.

Yuan Shao re-led the army away from the tower, but this time he was smarter, leaving the watchmen behind, and told him to go to the city to watch as soon as the shelling stopped, so as not to let Li's army attack the tower.

Although the watchmen who stayed behind were unwilling, they could only complain in their hearts and wait under the city tower.

Unbeknownst to the sentinels, Li Jun was quietly advancing towards the city wall at this time.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the siege troops of Li's army came to the bottom of the city tower without any resistance, and the ladders and other objects also arrived one after another, waiting for the shelling to stop.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao immediately stopped the shelling, you know, these ammunition are as important as his life, and it is too much to waste.

As soon as Zhang Liao's side stopped, the siege army quickly set up a cloud ladder, and quickly climbed up while Yuan Jun did not react.

The rushing car also immediately began to hit the city gate early, and Yuan Jun behind the gate did not react at all, and only then did he panic against the city gate under the violent impact of the rushing car.

As soon as there was movement at the city gate, the remaining watchmen did not need to look to see it, they knew what was happening, and hurried forward to report it.

A few hundred meters away from the city gate, Yuan Shao heard that the shelling stopped, and he was also anxiously waiting, at this time, seeing the sentry personnel rushing forward, he didn't need to say it, he also knew the situation, and hurriedly led the army to rush to the city tower.

But by the time Yuan Shao led the army to arrive, many of Li's troops had already gone up to the city tower, and the two sides immediately fought together.

Yuan Jun, the army left behind, against the Li army, it was not enough to see at all, but in less than half an hour, the situation at the north gate turned to the Li army.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao, who was commanding, knew that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to retreat to the important place of the treasury.

Outside the treasury, when he saw Yuan Shao's army coming, his face showed shock on the spot, and if he wanted to talk about the strength of Li Jun, he was very impressed.

But it didn't reach the strength of just a few hours of siege, and it took a door.

Frustrated to meet Yuan Shao, who had an ugly face, he said, "Lord, has Li Jun entered the city?" ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Yuan Shao nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, sir, hurry up and prepare to break through, you may not be able to get out if it's too late." ”

Seeing Yuan Shao admit it in person, Fu Zhi could only accept this fact, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers and horses, and took the items that had been counted a long time ago, and went out to the east gate.

Li Jun outside the east gate, in the face of Yuan Shao's breakthrough, did not entangle to the death, but fought for a while, and let them leave.

As soon as Yuan Shao broke through the siege, the remaining Yuan army in the city saw that the overall situation had been decided, and they were not resisting, so they put down their weapons and surrendered.

After the first battle, Xu Shu led the soldiers and horses into the city, and began to release the people and take over the Langxie.

And the people of Langxie, seeing that Li Jun was well-behaved and would not disturb the people for no reason, also began to go out of the house one after another to inquire about the situation.

The loud noise just now, the people in the city heard it clearly, thinking that it was the anger of the gods, and they didn't dare to breathe in fright.

Now that the matter has passed, the curiosity of human nature naturally takes over my heart, and I begin to figure out what is going on.

However, Li Jun's military regulations are strict, and these people can't find out any news at all, but some clever people began to imagine out of thin air, boasting that Li Jun was a god soldier, and the loud noise just now was to use immortal magic to seize the city gate.

And people always have a trace of belief in the unknown and the answers given by others, and for a while various versions of the legend began to circulate in the city.

And with Lang Evil as the starting point, it began to spread to various places, but these are all later words.

To get back to the point, Xu Shu took down the Lang Evil and took care of the security in the city, and began to set up the celebration wine and have fun with the army.

This siege is even simpler than Xu Shu imagined, it can be said that it is effortless, and all this is naturally due to the Shenji Battalion.

In the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, Xu Shu raised the cup in his hand and said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, I salute you with a cup, this is the first attack of the city, you are the only one, and the Shu will write it down on the merit book, and then take Xuzhou and hand it over to the lord to discuss the merits and rewards." ”

Zhang Liao replied: "Lord Xu is polite, this cup is still not going to pay tribute to you, the benefits of the Shenji camp are all created by the lord, and the generals are just the commanders, and they don't dare to take credit." ”

The two drank it all, and Xu Shu continued: "This battle can take down Lang Evil with such small casualties, it all depends on you, I hope that next, as it is today, come, and have a drink together." ”

In this battle, the Li army only lost less than 1,000 people, which can be said to have set a precedent with the least loss in the siege.

Because the defenders occupy the city and can easily kill and injure the attacking army, the casualty ratio of both sides is often several times, and if it can be leveled, it is very rare.

And in this battle, the Li army has not lost the Yuan army, if it spreads, I am afraid that all the princes will be shocked.

Xu Shu was so happy, and it was precisely because of this that he believed that after this battle, he Xu Shu would officially be valued by all the princes.

People live a lifetime, no matter what kind of person they are, they will have a pursuit, and Xu Shu's pursuit is to leave a name in history.

Xu Shu and the generals were very drunk, so they gave up and went back to rest.

Xu Shu entered the city, changed his normal state and began to celebrate, completely carried away by the victory, which made some people have bold ideas.

The Xuzhou family, since supporting Yuan Shao to get cheap, has long stopped putting officials in their eyes, and now that Xu Shu occupies the city, what Yuan Shao promised them will also be invalid.

This makes some people unwilling, you know, how can this thing that has been swallowed in the stomach be spit out and handed over to others.

In order to protect their own interests, these families also began to gather together to discuss, preparing to join forces and deal with Xu Shu together.
