Feng Yi heard the thunderous sound of war drums outside the city, and hurriedly rushed up to the city tower.

Pan Feng hurriedly greeted him.

"The ant thieves are attacking?" Feng Yi asked, striding to the edge of the city wall and raising his eyes.

In the distance, the drums of the Yellow Turban Army shook the sky, the flags were fluttering, and groups of Yellow Turban Army soldiers were rushing out of the camp, carrying a large number of siege equipment, and they were swarming in.

Pan Feng's expression was as usual, and he smiled slightly: "The ant thief can't wait." Then he turned his head and shouted, "Is there any news of the other gates?" ”

"My lord, not yet." The attendant standing in the distance replied loudly.

"If the ant thieves attack from all four at the same time, our defensive forces will be too scattered. My lord, look ......," Pan Feng asked in a low voice.

"The enemy is real and false, and we have no way of determining the direction of their main attack. That's it, keeping one day is one day. Feng Yi looked straight ahead with his eyes and said expressionlessly, "I'm here, advancing and retreating with everyone." ”

Pan Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The weather is so cold, my lord, let's go back to the mansion." There is no need for an adult to supervise the battle, and the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”

"Hmph......" Feng Yi sneered, his tone unquestionable, "I'll just sit here." I'm going to see if Zhang Niujiao can attack it. ”

Pan Feng knew his temper and didn't persuade him again.

Feng Yi looked up at the gray sky, and suddenly said, "If only it could snow." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Li Hong galloped on horseback.

He was surrounded by a dense crowd of warriors, with colorful battle flags behind him, and his ears were filled with the roar of galloping war horses. He felt as if he had fallen into the torrent of the Wetshui River, as if he were about to perish at any moment, and he had completely lost his freedom and confidence.

He remembered that in the days when he followed Murong Feng, there were many times when he dreamed that he was leading thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the prairie, and he could still clearly feel the excitement in the dream. The dream is vivid, as if it were yesterday. Although the dream has long since come true, he does not have the excitement of galloping on the field at all, but instead has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, which often overwhelms him and even feels suffocated.

It turns out that commanding thousands of troops and horses is not a matter of scenery at all, but a burden, a burden that the soul cannot bear.

Just like now, any soldier knows that he is rushing to the gall pottery battlefield now, if not for anything else, but to seek death. In the face of 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, how many of these 15,000 people can come back? But everyone had no complaints, no regrets, not even a word of complaint. What do you do in the army? It's not just for this day, for this day to be able to stain the battlefield with blood. How many people really joined the army to enjoy the glory that war brought them? Those who can enjoy the glory are survivors of war, and many more are the victims of war.

Du Kangting, Colonel Zuo and his soldiers performed a bloody classic death. This vigorous death shook Li Hong. The blood on the plain of Du Kangting was deeply engraved in his heart.

He felt responsible for the lives of fifteen thousand soldiers, for their selfless trust and for the glory in their hearts.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The scout came galloping towards the horse, and when he approached the army, he suddenly tightened the reins of the horse, and the horse was in pain, and suddenly he neighed, and his huge body almost flew off the ground and volleyed, and it drew a beautiful arc in the air, and in an instant he turned around and ran again.

Li Hong kicked the panther in the belly of the horse and quickly caught up, keeping pace with him.

"My lord, the Yellow Turban Army will attack at noon today."

"Do you attack all four at the same time?" Because the roar was so loud, Li Hong could only roar loudly.

"Yes, sir. Details will only pay off in the middle of the night. ”

Li Hong nodded, reached out and patted the scout's shoulder hard, and shouted, "It's hard work, go and rest." ”

The scout bowed to Li Hong with emotion, and turned his horse away.

Li Hong turned back and made a gesture to the trumpeter, and the sound of the horn that stopped advancing suddenly pierced the loud and deep roar, and rose into the sky, resounding through the winter dusk.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The meaning conveyed by Zhang Niujiao is very clear, today it is the Yellow Turban Army at the West Gate and the South Gate that is the main attack, and the Yellow Turban Army at the North Gate and the East Gate to contain the enemy.

His main purpose was to lure Li Hong's leopard army to the battlefield of Gall and annihilate them. The elimination of the Leopard Army will completely eliminate the last threatening main force of the official army on the battlefield in Jizhou, and the development of the Yellow Turban Army will be very smooth this year.

It was precisely because of his correctness that Yang Feng, Bai Huan, and Wulu, the three most powerful leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, all rushed to Game Tao with their troops. If this goal is achieved, the distribution of benefits in the later period will still be very generous.

The troops of Bai Huan and Wulu were the first to attack.

There are disagreements, there are opinions, and those are all things that are thought about when there is no war. When you get to the battlefield, you can't be sloppy, you will fight, if you don't fight, you won't fight, the enemy will not have any tacit understanding with you, let alone show mercy to your subordinates. The slightest negligence is a life-threatening matter.

Bai Huan didn't know martial arts, he stayed in the rear to command. Master Wulu and a group of disciples rushed to the city to supervise the battle. His disciple Xingyun personally rushed forward with the first batch of siege troops.

Defending the city is the Gong Cao Shi Geng Gu of Julu County. He doesn't know any martial arts, but he's not afraid of death. He took the lead, standing on the edge of the city wall, and like the other soldiers, he lifted large stones one by one and smashed them down at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

Along the city wall, hundreds of ladders are lined up, and on each ladder are soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, who are not afraid of the long arrows and stones in the sky. Above and below the city walls, there were piles of busy soldiers. Huge pounds of wood and boiling water fall from the sky from time to time. The sound of war drums, shouting to kill, is earth-shattering.

Watching the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army constantly flying in the air, falling, screaming, and looking at the more and more corpses under the city, Xingyun became angry.

He took off his long robe, revealing a short shirt. Xingyun held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, turned around and shouted at the soldiers in the distance: "Bow and arrow suppression, give me a salvo, volley ......"

A small group of soldiers immediately gathered together and shot a dense array of long arrows at the top of the wall of the ladder that Xingyun was about to go up to. Two soldiers leaning out and throwing stones were instantly killed, and one of them fell to the city screaming.

"Brothers, kill, ......" Xingyun raised his sword and yelled at the siege soldiers who were lying behind his shield, and then like an agile ape, he climbed up the ladder at high speed. Several Yellow Turban soldiers immediately broke away from the cover of the shield soldiers and followed.

A huge piece of wood was thrown into the air, rushed out of the wall, and smashed into the ladder.

Xingyun roared and raised his shield to the top. The shield was immediately smashed by the heavy wood, and Xingyun almost rolled over and fell off the ladder, and the left hand holding the shield immediately lost consciousness. According to his inertia, he rolled down Xingyun's back. Several of the warriors who followed him were unable to dodge and were immediately smashed down the ladder.

"Kill ......, go up, ......go up, go up, ......" Xingyun on the ladder opened his eyes angrily and kept roaring at the warriors below. More soldiers rushed out from behind their shields and climbed the ladder.

Xingyun's war knife chopped off the spearheads of three spears one after another, and finally found a chance for him. He raised his painful left hand, grabbed one of the broken spears, and with all his strength, roared and leaped onto the wall, while the sword slashed into the enemy inside the wall.

The officers and soldiers shouted, and several nearby soldiers rushed over in unison, ready to plug the gap. Xingyun's sword flashed, blood splattered, and several enemies were slaughtered in a row. Three or four Yellow Turban soldiers took advantage of this gap and jumped into the city wall. More officers and soldiers rushed over.

The breakthrough is opened.

Geng Gu in the distance was attracted by the fierce fighting, and then he saw the danger, picked up a spear on the ground, and rushed to the middle of the city wall, raising his spear and shouting: "Soldiers, kill...... Kill me ......"

The reserve soldiers who had been crouching on both sides of the city gate tower heard the shouts and roared out, and they followed closely behind Geng Gu, frantically killing the defensive points that had been broken through by the Yellow Turban Army.

"Boom...... Boom ......" more than a dozen ladders and the Yellow Turban soldiers on the ladder were pushed and smashed to the ground, and then the dull impact of the ladder and people hitting the ground and the terrible screams were heard one after another. Long arrows were like rain, wreaking havoc in all directions, devouring one human life after another.

"Kill...... Ah......" Xingyun was covered in blood, like crazy, and led the soldiers to move forward bravely.

"Kill...... Ah......h

The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then the flames of hatred exploded, and the soldiers were like madmen who had lost their minds, red-eyed, shouting incessantly, and killing them with their lives and death. Xingyun bore the brunt of this. But when his knife pierced the opponent's body, his head was chopped off, and the hand holding the knife was cut in two.

At the cost of more than 20 lives, the officers and soldiers finally recaptured the defensive point and killed all the enemies who rushed to the city walls.

Wang Dang's knife had been cut off, and the gun was stuck in the corpses of the officers and soldiers, so he couldn't pull it out for a while, so he had to pick up a spear and rush towards Pan Feng, who was killing him with great momentum.

Pan Feng has been eyeing this black boy since the Yellow Turban Army began to attack the city. The boy had climbed the wall four times, and it was as if he could not be killed, and each time he was driven down, he came out of somewhere else after a while.

Pan Feng slashed it with an axe, implying the sound of wind and thunder. Wang Dang's face changed, and when he knew that he had met a master, he immediately shouted: "Come on, kill ......."

The spear opened the iron axe and immediately stabbed Pan Feng's lower abdomen. Pan Feng didn't have time to change his moves, so he took two steps back. The king struck a spear and immediately assassinated two of the defenders. Pan Feng's big axe roared again. The king stretched out his spear to stop it, and the spear was broken. Pan Feng roared excitedly, the axe accelerated, and he went to Wang Dang's head. Wang Dang's figure flickered, and the short spear in his hand flew towards Pan Feng, and the person was already short and squatted. He grabbed a war knife on the ground and aimed it at the iron axe that had been slow to castrate.

Pan Feng dodged the flying spear, but he didn't dodge the knife, and his hands immediately shook violently, and he almost flew out of his long axe.

The king ignored him, turned back into the crowded place, and shouted: "Withdraw ......, withdraw ......."

Zhang Niujiao pointed to the battlefield with an earth-shattering sound of killing, and shouted loudly: "What about the sunspot? What about sunspots? ”

Sun Qin Xiaoyuan's face showed a hint of fear, and he said carefully: "He is on the city wall." ”

"This bastard, when will people not worry about it. Mingjin, cease fighting, tell him to get back. Zhang Niujiao shouted fiercely.

"Dashuai, we just occupied a small corner on the left side of the city wall, can we fight again and consume them a little more." Sun Qin whispered.

"It's not easy to take down the gall pottery. But our goal now is not to be a gall, but a leopard. Command, stop the attack. ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Under the dim candlelight, Feng Yi slowly raised his head and looked at Pan Feng standing in front of him.

"My lord, the Yellow Turban Army has withdrawn."

"How's the loss today?" Feng Yi asked softly.

"Master Gong Cao Shi Geng is dead."

Feng Yi was silent, and it took a long time for him to let out a long sigh.

"The defenders of the four gates lost more than 700 men. The west and south gates suffered the greatest losses. In addition, the scouts outside the city secretly reported that the Leopard Army had moved towards us. ”

Feng Yi's face changed greatly, and he shouted, "What is he doing here?" Throwing yourself into the net? ”

Pan Feng hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Maybe Lord Li has a clever plan to break the enemy?" ”

Feng Yi smiled bitterly, "Tell me, what tricks will he have?" ”

"According to adults, if we stay until it snows, we may have a chance to live. Is he here for this glimmer of life? ”

Feng Yi smiled helplessly and said, "Since he has this arrogance, we will gamble with him." You immediately draw 1,000 elite soldiers from the four gates, and reserve them as the last force to fight back. You lead the army yourself. ”

Pan Feng's face changed, and he said in surprise: "My lord, our defensive strength is seriously insufficient, and you still transfer a thousand people as a reserve army, isn't it ......?"

Feng Yi looked at Pan Feng for a long time, suddenly sighed, and said earnestly: "Lord Duwei, if you are a horn and want to eat the leopard now, what will you do?" ”

Pan Feng glanced at Feng Yi and whispered, "I will lay down the gall pottery first, and then deal with the leopard." I want to make sure I'm invincible. ”

Feng Yi lowered his head and did not speak.

He flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand and whispered, "You are right, this is indeed a good way." But the question is, what are you doing with the leopard? Siege? ”

"The gall is the bait, and the bait is worn on the hook anyway until the fish have eaten the bait. So, as long as the leopard is nearby, as long as the leopard is not annihilated, the gall pottery is safe. Zhang Niujiao's continuous siege of the city is just to put pressure on the leopard, force him to take the bait, and consume our defense forces. ”

Pan Feng understood. Since Zhang Niujiao's fight against the gall pottery was just for show, Feng Yi could of course leave a thousand people down and make a strong counterattack when the city was breached.

He then asked, "My lord, if it snows, where is our vitality?" ”

Feng Yi looked at the slightly flickering candle flame, and suddenly laughed, he said lightly: "At that time, we are already dying and vulnerable, where is there any life?" ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

In the middle of the night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, all the 25 officers of the Fengyun Iron Cavalry at or above the rank of military officer were present.

On the inside of the tent hung a huge black cowhide. On the black cowhide, Li Hong used a cinnabar pen to draw a layout map of the gall pottery city.

Everyone sat on the ground, huddled together, listening to Li Hong's analysis and arrangement of the gall pottery battlefield. Zhao Yun added firewood to the big tent and poured water for everyone. Gao Ran was lying on a mattress, his head resting on Tian Zhong's lap.

"Where is the vitality of the gall pottery city? On the day of the snow, whether it is night or day, it is the hours when it snows. Li Hong took a sip of water and continued to gush, "Now we don't know when and when the heavy snow will fall, but it will definitely snow this month." So Zhang Niujiao is waiting for the opportunity to destroy us, and we are also waiting for the opportunity to defeat him, depending on who grasps the opportunity better and more effectively. ”

"My lord, what if it doesn't snow?" Wen Chou asked loudly.

As soon as the words fell, a miserable cry was immediately heard from the big tent. Everyone turned their heads to look together, only to see Yan Liang raising a bowl-sized fist and preparing to hit it for the second time.

Tian Zhong immediately made a gesture and shouted: "Tiger head, you have violated military discipline, stand up for me immediately." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the big tent. Yan Liang quickly stood up with an embarrassed smile on his face. As a result, everyone laughed even harder. Wen Chou lay on the back of the shooting tiger and almost laughed.

Li Hong wiped the tears from his face and barely stopped smiling, but when he saw Yan Liang's appearance, he couldn't help laughing wildly.

After making a fuss for a while, Li Hong motioned for Yan Liang to sit down and continued: "Zijun asked well. We only brought dry food for ten days, both men and horses. So if it doesn't snow for ten days, we can only retreat, there is no way. Are the specific tasks of each part clear? This time, you will personally lead the team on the mission, so you must not make mistakes and do not come into direct contact with the enemy. Li Hong said with a smile: "Whoever is greedy for merit and starts a conflict with the enemy, military law will do it." Have you all seen Zishan? You will be punished for punching someone, not to mention that you have violated military orders. ”

Everyone burst into laughter again.

"Do you have any questions?" Li Hong asked with a smile.

"My lord, what if Zhang Niujiao thinks that we have no intention of fighting a decisive battle with him, and simply gives up the plan to encircle and annihilate us and directly attack the city?" Yan Wuxing asked.

"Retreat." Li Hong said: "Zhang Niujiao must also have a time to encircle and annihilate us. If this time is exceeded, he will naturally give up and attack the city directly. He has taken possession of the city of Gauntlet, what are we still doing here? ”

"My lord, in order to entangle us, Zhang Niujiao will continue to attack the city, and the defenders of Gaunt Tao City will definitely suffer heavy losses. If even if it snows, we entangled Chu Feiyan's main force, but Zhang Niujiao still easily took the gall pottery city, what should we do? Yan Rou asked.

"Retreat, retreat immediately. If Zhang Niujiao breaks through the city, he will immediately rush to encircle and annihilate it, and at that time we must retreat at full speed, so as not to be entangled by the enemy. Li Hong said resolutely, "I have already said just now that the decisive factor in whether or not Zhang Niujiao can be defeated this time is not ours, nor Zhang Niujiao, let alone whether it snows or not, but whether Lord Feng can hold the gall Tao City." ”

Li Hong pointed to the blood-red gall pottery city on the black cowhide, and said loudly: "The gall pottery city can't be defended, everything is over." ”

Suddenly, his heart was beating violently. After the gall pottery is finished, will we also be eaten by the Yellow Turban Army? He suddenly felt that this plan was too risky, and it was simply a joke on his own soldiers.
