………………………………………………………………………………………………

After Li Jingbing retreated to Guangzong City, he immediately built a huge grain and grass camp in Julu City, a hundred miles away from Guangzong City, according to Xu Da's request.

These tens of thousands of reinforcements were stationed in the Julu camp around mid-December.

Because the tens of thousands of troops came early and their whereabouts were very hidden, the scouts sent by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao did not find them. Their attention had been focused on Huguan and Flying Fox Fortress, and they didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Northern Xinjiang Army had already entered Jizhou, and they were very close to the rear of the battlefield.

Julu City is nearly three hundred miles away from Yecheng. Xu Da led an army pretending to be a people's husband, marched day and night, crossed the Zhangshui River in the direction of the people, and then galloped for 120 miles overnight, quietly surrounding Yecheng at dawn.

………………

The heralds galloped from all directions.

The east, west, and south gates have all been encircled and ready to attack at any time.

Xu Da looked at the fog that was getting thicker and thicker, and ordered loudly: "Urgently order all departments, immediately press the platoon of the soldiers of each department to rest on the spot." ”

Then he pointed to Li Xuan, the military commander of the scout department, and asked, "Wen Lie, how is the situation at the North Gate?" Has Yang Feng's army arrived on time? ”

Outside the north gate of Yecheng is the Zhangshui River, and Xu Da specially arranged a large army on the other side of the river to block and kill the enemy who tried to cross the river and escape.

Li Xuan bowed and replied: "I just received the news that General Yang Feng has led his army to the other side. But...... The Zhangshui River is thawing, and the ice is so thin that the enemy cannot escape. ”

"Don't be careless." Xu Da said, "Yuan Shao and many of his subordinates' families are in the city, and if we can catch them, it will be of great benefit to us." ”

………………

Yuan Xi, who was fully armored, held the hilt of his sword in his hand, and stood on the city tower with high spirits, disdainful of the frightened soldiers who came and went beside him.

"Mr. Ziyuan, the Northern Frontier Army is now fighting fiercely with Gongsun Zan in the area of Jieqiao, why did they suddenly appear here?" Yuan Xi said very suspiciously, "Did they read it wrong?" ”

Xu Yu tried to keep his eyes open, trying to see through the dense fog to see everything in the distance. He shook his head suspiciously and did not answer Yuan Xi. He didn't like this handsome and pretentious second son. This second son is good at music and rhetoric, proud, and has a bit of a taste of solitary self-appreciation, compared with the calmness and humility of the eldest prince Yuan Tan, he is much inferior in many aspects.

Yuan Xi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Ziyuan, what do you mean by shaking your head?" Do you think that the city is really the Northern Frontier Army? ”

Chen Lin, who was standing on the side, said: "Maybe it's the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro who is swaggering and deceiving under the battle flag of the Northern Xinjiang Army. However, I haven't heard of the Yellow Turban Army hitting near Yecheng recently......"

After Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from Montenegro, in order to prevent the Yellow Turban Army remaining in Montenegro from taking the opportunity to go down the mountain to attack Wei County, he set up a large number of scouts in the Montenegrin area. As long as the Yellow Turban Army descends the mountain, the news will be sent to Yecheng immediately.

Chen Lin's doubts were also the doubts of other officials standing on the city tower, and everyone almost unanimously agreed that the army under the city was the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, and there were not many of them, so they could not pose a threat to Yecheng.

Xu You listened attentively for a long time, and then a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked up at the sky and said loudly: "Immediately send someone out of the city from the north gate and report to the lord urgently, the northern army has secretly rushed to Jizhou, and is now attacking Yecheng, please return to the lord as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Xi and the others' faces changed, and no one spoke.

Xu You turned his face to look at Yuan Xi, who was slightly stunned, pointed to the depths of the thick fog, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, listen carefully...... There is no sound outside the city, can the Yellow Turban Army do it? If it was the Yellow Turban Army, there would already be war drums and voices outside. This is the Northern Xinjiang Army, and it is the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Come on, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and give the order. If the lord can't come back in time, we will die here today. ”

Xu You's words suddenly woke everyone up. Everyone has been fighting with the Yellow Turban Army for several years, and this common sense is still there. It's just that it happened suddenly, and I was in a panic just now, and I forgot all this detail.

Yuan Xi was flustered and hurriedly ordered. If there is a Yellow Turban Army outside the city, Yecheng is of course impregnable, but if it is the Northern Xinjiang Army, Yecheng is dangerous.

"Ziyuan, didn't Li Yi go to the boundary bridge? Or ......" Chen Lin hesitated: "This is reinforcements from outside Cyprus?" ”

"Li Yi has always been unreasonable in fighting, and I don't know either." Xu You waved his hand and said anxiously, "I have known him since my early years, and I know that he is very cunning. But who would have thought that in the first battle of the Jizhou War, Li Yi actually chose Yecheng. Odd Soldiers? Where did this wonder come from? ”

"Quick, herald, herald...... Ordered all three thousand defenders to go up to the city. Although Yuan Xi was very frightened, he still had a bit of elegance in his gestures, "The Jizhou Mansion immediately recruited the people in the city to help defend the city. ”

Xu You was stunned. Three thousand? Can 3,000 men defend the return of the army? This is more than 400 miles to the boundary bridge. It will take at least two or three days for the army to rush back day and night, is it still too late?

After a short time, a scout who had just left the city ran back and reported: "Second son, the north gate is blocked by the enemy, and we can't rush out. ”

Yuan Xi, Xu You and the others looked at each other, and their hearts were cold.

The scout was wet all over his body, his back was stained red with blood, and he said in embarrassment: "Second son, more than a dozen brothers who went out of the city to ask for help have been killed, and there are enemies everywhere, what should I do?" ”

Xu You gasped violently for a few breaths, raised his arms and shouted: "Prepare to fight to the death......"

………………

The Northern Xinjiang Army outside Yecheng included three corps of the infantry Wuzi Legion led by Guan Yu, two armies of the Cavalry Azi Legion led by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, and two corps of the Cavalry C-Character Legion led by Gao Changgong and Zhang Liao, plus one army of the Infantry Xinzi Legion led by Xu Da himself, a total of 56,000 troops.

Since then, the Northern Xinjiang Army has transferred more than two-thirds of its troops to the Central Plains battlefield, and the large army left behind in the Saiwai has been very limited.

The golden sunlight pierced through the milky white mist and gently sprinkled on the earth.

The fog over Yecheng is getting lighter and lighter. Daxu danced wildly in the wind, making a loud noise. The people of the city held their breath and looked into the distance, letting their hearts beat violently, the fog dissipated, and the majestic military array suddenly jumped into everyone's eyes, shocking everyone's heart.

Yuan Xi groaned in despair, involuntarily took a step back, and his right hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but tremble.

Xu You's eyes widened, staring at the "Han" character Daxu and the hussar general's battle flag fluttering high in the rear of the army, and his face turned pale for a moment.

After a moment of silence, the screams and terrible screams suddenly erupted: "Northern Frontier Army-"

"Drumming...... Drumming ......"

"Defend Yecheng...... Reinforcements will be there soon, ...... will be there soon"

………………

Xu Da raised his head, squinted his eyes at the delicate sun, and his whole body was bathed in the warm sun, and his body and mind were peaceful.

Although he had led a group army to defend the annex for several years, it was the first time that he had truly commanded a campaign alone.

Not to mention, this time he not only gathered the elite of the Northern Xinjiang army, but also Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Gao Changgong, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and other Northern Xinjiang generals. Among them, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, as the righteous brothers of the lord, are older and have higher status in the army than him. Therefore, the pressure in Xu Da's heart is naturally very great. But he is not nervous, he is a person with a big heart, the bigger the scene, the quieter his heart is, and he enjoys this feeling.

Xu Da commanded with a big hand: "Order, siege!" ”

The drums of war rose to the sky, shaking the earth.

The heartstrings of tens of thousands of soldiers trembled, and countless pairs of arms raised their weapons at the same time, shouting the strongest desire in their hearts: "Kill ......"

"Order all armies, attack with all your might, storm ......" Xu Da opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand and roared, "Take Yecheng at all costs." ”

Long arrows are like clouds, covering the sky and the sun. People are like a frenzy, and the roar is like thunder. The sky over Yecheng was covered with dark clouds, accompanied by a thrilling and piercing roar, and the curtain of the bloody battle was opened in an instant.

………………

Yuan Xi has experienced several battle formations, but he has never seen such a crazy bloody battle. He had seen dense arrow formations, but he had never known such powerful arrow formations in the world. He was so frightened that he curled up his head and hid under the wall, shouting and screaming hoarsely. He didn't know what he was calling or shouting, but only in this way could he alleviate the extreme horror in his heart.

On the wide and deep city wall, several rows of shield bearers held their shields high and struggled to support them, they wanted to wait until the arrow array of the Northern Frontier Army stopped, and the archers behind them launched a counterattack. However, the arrow array of the Northern Xinjiang Army was too dense and sharp, and its strong lethality not only tore open the shield, but also shot through the soldiers behind the shield, and even more soldiers were overwhelmed by the heavy blows, and were knocked out of the city wall by the impact of the long arrows and fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army quickly erected a ladder bridge over the moat, and several assault camps besieging the city roared past, and immediately launched a bloody battle to seize the city.

A thousand ballistae lined up stopped after a moment of frenzied roaring.

Ten thousand strong archers then advanced, and their arrows extended into the city.

The people who had been improvised to help defend the city were caught off guard and were met with head-on blows, and the streets near the city gates were immediately covered with corpses.

Xu You's hair crown was destroyed by a long arrow, and his cloak was scattered, very embarrassed. He dragged his sword upside down and shouted as he ran: "Fight back, fight back...... The Northern Xinjiang Army has gone to the city......"

Yuan Xi saw Xu Yu from afar, as if he saw a life-saving straw, he jumped up and said loudly: "Mr. Ziyuan, go quickly, go quickly......"

Xu You pushed him away, turned around and shouted at the few guards who followed behind: "Quick, cover the second son's departure, ...... quickly"

The guards rushed up, not allowing Yuan Xi to speak, half dragging them, and rushed towards the city like a fly. Yuan Xi lost his footing in a panic and tripped over a corpse. The guards were in a hurry, grasping the grippers, grabbing the feet, and running upside down.

The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army rushed to the city tower, unstoppable and invincible. A few Jizhou sergeants couldn't resist it, so they ran away. Xu You rushed up and stabbed one to death with a sword, and said sharply: "Get back for me, kill, kill them......" (To be continued.) )
