"Kill!"

Wen Zhao roared, slashing to death a Yuan soldier who had climbed the city wall, and then kicked him off the wall. After fighting until now, he finally killed all the Yuan troops on the city wall.

"Be careful, lord!"

A pro-soldier beside him shouted loudly, and Wen Zhao's heart suddenly sank.

"Chirp!"

Under the city wall, countless arrows shot into the air, obscuring the sun in the sky, and Wen Zhao suddenly felt as if it was dark.

"Raise your shield! Take cover! ”

Wen Zhao roared, hurriedly picked up a shield on the ground, squatted on the ground, and hid under the shield.

"Poof! Poof! ”

Although the soldiers on the city wall were accustomed to the arrows shot by the Yuan army, there were still hundreds of people who could not dodge and were killed by the arrows.

There were also many people who did not hit the vital point and lay on the ground and screamed in pain.

Wen Zhao looked at the soldiers who couldn't dodge, lying on the city wall with injuries, and shouted loudly: "Save them!" ”

For the scene in front of them, the soldiers on the city wall were a little accustomed to it.

They took advantage of the gap between the bows and arrows of the Yuan army under the city, and dragged all the soldiers who were wounded and did not die behind the battlements.

"Chirp!"

The soldiers had just finished saving the people, and then they hid behind their shields and battlements, and the overwhelming array of arrows shot up from under the walls again.

This time, apart from a few less fortunate soldiers, no one was injured.

Dian Wei hid beside Wen Zhao, not daring to raise his head at all, he scolded viciously: "It's really damned, the arrows and supplies in the city have run out, otherwise, where will they be arrogant?" ”

For five consecutive days, Yuan Shu relied on the superiority of troops to surround Xiangcheng. Even next to Xiangcheng, Rushui, whose water level had dropped due to drought, was filled by an army of 300,000 under Yuan Shuhui.

For five days, Yuan's army stormed Xiangcheng day and night, and had already exhausted all the arrows in the city. It was precisely for this reason that even though Chen's army had the advantage of the city wall, it was unable to effectively suppress Yuan's archers.

The arrows were still whistling, and after the three rounds of arrow rain were over, Yuan Shujun once again set up a cloud ladder, pushed the rushing cart, and commanded the army to attack the four gates of Xiangcheng.

This siege battle lasted until dark, when Yuan's army slowly retreated.

Chen Xu, who was accustomed to it, asked the soldiers to collect the dense arrows on the city wall.

Pick out the arrows that can still be used, and the arrows that can't be used are not wasted, take them down and let people process them, and use them again.

After a hurried dinner, the defenders in the city gathered on the city wall again, looked out of the city with some vigilance, and quietly waited for Yuan's army to attack the city.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yuan's army to flood Xiangcheng again and began to attack the city at the cost of casualties.

This time, Yuan Shu made up his mind to break through Xiangcheng and kill Chen Xu and others. If his goal is really achieved, Guanzhong will definitely have no leader, and he can directly send troops to Guanzhong to capture the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials.

"Kill!"

The brutal siege battle began again, but fortunately, there were 40,000 defenders in the city to barely hold Xiangcheng. Yuan Shu's army attacked for an hour, and only after it was dark did he slowly retreat.

However, Wen Zhao on the city wall did not relax at all. Because he knew that Yuan Shujun would definitely not stop attacking the city.

Rubbing his brows, Wen Zhao felt a little tired, and he said to Dian Wei: "Ah Wei, you go and let those soldiers who are resting in the city come over to change shifts." ”

"Brothers on the city wall, it's been a day of continuous fighting, it's time to go down and rest."

Dian Wei nodded and prepared to go down. Before he left, he heard a sound of footsteps, and saw that Zhao Yun had already led a team of soldiers up.

Zhao Yun came to Wen Zhao's side and said, "Lord, you go down to rest, and I will guard the east gate tonight." ”

"Okay."

Wen Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, he didn't say anything, he took Dian Wei and the soldiers on the city wall, and walked down the city. As soon as he walked under the city wall, he saw Tian Feng and Jia Xu hurriedly coming over.

"Yuan Hao, Wenhe, why are you so flustered?"

Now Chen Gong is staying in Bingzhou, Li Ru, Cheng Yu, Zhong Xuan and others are guarding Puban, and this time only Tian Feng and Jia Xu went out with the army.

The two glanced at each other, Tian Feng stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the county government first." ”

Seeing that the two of them had serious faces, Wen Zhao didn't dare to slack off, so he asked Dian Wei to lead the soldiers back to the camp to rest. He followed Tian Feng and Jia Xu to the county office.

After coming to the county office, Tian Feng said to Wen Zhao: "Lord, Yuan Highway led the army and surrounded Xiangcheng, and there was no way to transport the grain and grass in Guanzhong. ”

"Now there is less than five days' food and grass in the city. If Yuan's army besieges the city for a few more days, Xiangcheng will definitely be difficult to hold. ”

Wen Zhao's heart sank, if the food in the city was really exhausted, everyone would become a turtle in the urn.

In the past five days, Chen Xu has not fought with his fierce generals like clouds, opening the city gate and going out to challenge.

However, after Yuan Shu was beheaded by several generals, he suddenly became angry and commanded the army to move forward to fight.

Chen Xu has few soldiers, even though his subordinates are all elite soldiers, they are not Yuan Shu's opponents. In desperation, he had to let his subordinates flee back to the city.

From then on, as long as Wen Zhao sent someone out to call the battle, Yuan Shujun would rush forward, and he would not give Chen Xu's generals a chance to perform at all.

As a result, Wen Zhao no longer dared to send troops to fight.

It wasn't that he didn't think about robbing the camp at night, but Yuan Shu had too many troops, no matter day or night, there were a large number of soldiers patrolling the camp, and Wen Zhao didn't find a chance at all.

Now the entire Xiangcheng is surrounded by Yuan's army, even if Chen Xu leads his troops to break through, it is a little difficult. Thinking of this, Wen Zhao's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter.

Jia Xu also said worriedly: "Lord, for the sake of today's plan, you should abandon the city as soon as possible, retreat into Xuanyuan Pass, and resist Yuan's army by relying on natural dangers." ”

Even if Jia Xu and Tian Feng were full of wisdom, in the face of Yuan Shu's army of 300,000, they were a little helpless when they were trapped in the city.

Wen Zhao asked, "Now that Xiangcheng is surrounded by regiments, I am afraid it will not be easy to retreat." ”

Jia Xu said: "If you leave behind all the wounded and baggage, gather the elite soldiers together, break through from a city gate, and then let the trapped camp break off, it may not be impossible to succeed." ”

Wen Zhao was silent.

Jia Xu said it easily, but this kind of strategy Chen Xu was a little difficult to accept.

Those wounded soldiers are all fighting for him Chen Xu, and if he abandons the wounded, his prestige in the army will definitely plummet.

As for trapping in the camp, it is Wen Zhao's heart, and it is the trump card he has created with countless money and food, and it is easy to give up.
