Chapter 236: Impoverished

The seven-day period has passed, and the whole Nanzheng has made preparations for a tragic war, but the imaginary offensive has not arrived.
"Shijun, then Liu Bei sent a team of men to attack and become solid!" The person in charge of investigating Liu Beijun's movement came to report, but the result made Zhang Lu somewhat troubled.
Chenggu is about sixty miles away from Nanzheng. Liu Bei does not fight Nanzheng now, but he starts to attack Chenggu. Obviously, he wants to isolate Nanzheng and induce Zhang Lu to send troops to transform the battlefield from siege to field.
Zhang Lu was a bit troubled. Although Cheng Gu was not as weak as Mianyang, it was not a strong city. The most important thing was that Cheng Gu lost something. The three counties of Shangyong, Xixian, Fangling and Nanzheng The connection was cut off.
Save or not? This is a problem or a big problem.
If you do not save, you will give up the three counties of Shangyong. If you save and send troops out of the city, you will have to fight against Liu Bei ’s army. Now Nanyang ’s strength is not as good as that of Liu Bei (Zhang Lu thinks). Don't even think about protecting Nanzheng!
Zhang Lu with bloodshot eyes looked at the account of the literary and martial arts, pondering: "What do you think?"
Cao Cao ’s messenger had just set off shortly before the letter had been delivered. Not to mention Cao Cao ’s order to send troops to rescue, at least two or three months ...
"The protagonist, at the end will be willing to lead three thousand horses to help them become solid!" Yang Ren gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
Three thousand people, Yang Ren has carefully estimated that it will not affect Nanzheng ’s defense, and although Chengguchengchi is not as strong as Nanzheng, it is much stronger than Mianyang. Then Wei Yan can rely on more than 2,000 people in his army. Under the siege, with the help of the small town of Mianyang, he insisted on defending the army for three days, and gave him three thousand people to cooperate with Chenggu's defenders.
Zhang Lu looked at Yang Ren, and then looked at the others. He was hesitant. There were not many 3,000 people. But now Nanzheng was tight. Zhang Lu was reluctant to send troops out.
"Master!" Yang Song moved his eyes and stepped forward to Zhang Lu: "Although Chenggu's danger is urgent, he believes that there is another place that needs more care than Chenggu!"
"Oh?" Zhang Lu frowned: "Where is it?"
"Yang Pingguan!" Yang Song said in a deep voice: "General Yang Ang's army is about to rush back. If Liu Bei gets the news and leads the army to capture Yang Pingguan and keeps General Yang Ang out of the customs, our army will have no help!"
Not only Yang Ang, if the army of Liu Bei really captured Yangping Pass, even if Cao Cao sent troops to support, they could be blocked out of the pass.
Yan Pu accidentally glanced at Yang Song and nodded: "Benian's words are good. Yangpingguan only has 800 defenders. It is indeed weaker."
Now that he is ready to lower Cao, then Yangpingguan is his own way and he can't afford to lose.
"Master, I would like to lead hundreds of people to Yangping to meet General Yang Ang!" Yang Song said in awe.
Yan Pu frowned and looked at Yang Song: "How can Bo Nian not pass the military?
"Although I don't understand military affairs, Yang Ping's gatekeeper will understand, and I can guarantee that I will never intervene in military affairs." Yang Song smiled: "The purpose of this trip is to urge General Yang Ang to return as soon as possible, not to fight the enemy , And General Yang Ang are relatives in the next, and naturally will not harm him. "
Although the surname is Yang, in fact, the surname of Yang is the Han surname at this time, including Yang Ren, and more or less has some relatives with Yang Song, but it is a kind of far away, up to seven or eight Generations may not be close.
Yan Pu still felt that something was wrong, but Yang Song smiled over there: "Besides the previous mission of Liu Bei's military camp, Brother Yan was frightened. In this respect, it is better than Brother Yan in asking myself, General Zhang wants to defend Nan Zheng, now under the command of the master, no one can take on this role except me! "
"You ..." Yan Pu glared at Yang Song and scolded people for not revealing short. Which pot of Yang Song did not open and which pot was used. Last time, he was really calmed down by the power of Guan Yu, but it was strange to watch on weekday The daring Yang Song was not affected much, which made Yan Pu a little strange.
"Enough!" Zhang Lu interrupted the two who were about to quarrel and looked at Yang Song: "Then this matter will be handled by Bernian. I'm with you ... 800 soldiers. Once Yang Yang's army returns, immediately Ordered him to return to Nanzheng with his army. "
"Hello!" Yang Song was secretly pleased. He glanced at Yan Pu somewhat proudly, took the arrow from Zhang Lu and bowed back.
Yang Ren said: "Master, that is a solid thing."
"Chenggu ..." Zhang Lu hesitated and said: "It is convenient for you two thousand soldiers, if you can save, then save, if not, then withdraw immediately!"
"This ..." Yang Renwen's face was a bit ugly. Two thousand people, plus Chenggu's defending army, did not reach 4,000. Liu Bei's army besieged, how to defend?
...
Chenggu, Liu Bei ’s troops sent to siege are actually not many, only 3,000 people, not much more than Chenggu ’s defenders, but the momentum is very loud, siege vehicles, catapults, and ladders are coming Five vehicles are led by Guan Ping and ... Liu Yi is a military division.
This time, Liu Yi took the initiative to ask, he wants to see how specific his siege equipment is.
"Sir, how do I fight this city?" Guan Ping asked while sitting on his horse, looking at the city ahead.
"Find your own way. You are the generals of the three armed forces. When you have your own judgment, I am here, called the military division. In fact, I will see how effective my siege equipment is." Liu Yi gave Guan Ping a funny look. , Patted his shoulder and said: "This is a rare opportunity. You have been fighting for many years with the protagonist and General Guan, but there are not many opportunities to lead the soldiers alone. Take advantage."
Guan Ping ’s military qualities and abilities are not bad, the difference is the lack of the opportunity to be alone. The big battle Liu Yi dare not let him go alone now, but like this kind of small-scale war, Liu Yi thinks that such young people as Guan Ping There are some opportunities for the younger generation, and the veterans Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are rare.
Guan Ping nodded silently, thinking carefully about his past war. He first sent scouts to explore Chenggu's surroundings, and set up checkpoints on each road from Nanzheng to Chenggu to guard against the enemy sent from Nanzheng. The army asked Liu Yi to set up an army barrack outside Chenggu City. Once the siege equipment was put in place, everything was ready, and after setting up several night guards to guard against enemy raids, he came to ask Liu Yi.
"You, what is missing most now is self-confidence." Liu Yi, who was awakened, looked at Guan Ping with some helplessness: "From now on, big and small things will be decided by themselves, without asking me, understand?"
"Well!" Guan Ping silently bowed.
Liu Yi was speechless, how to make himself the same as the generals of the three armed forces, waved Guan Ping out, Liu Yi pulled the quilt, stuffy head and continued to sleep.
Early the next morning, news came from the rear that Hanzhong general Yang Ren led the army to help, but was defeated by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan and returned to Nanzheng. At this point, Chenggu's reinforcements could not come.
Guan Ping didn't ask Liu Yi this time. He directly sent his troops and began to attack the city. The cloud ladder was designed according to the height of the Nanzheng City Wall. This time the attack was solid, the Futi did not have to be pulled up, and you can directly reach the Chenggu City Wall. After that, Liu Yi had no choice but to order people to dismantle the auxiliary ladder first.
Chengguchengtou, the guard will watch the giant move toward the side of the city wall, there is a carriage under the cloud ladder, can see the people hidden inside, and quickly ordered people to shoot arrows.
It was just that Liu Yi only left a lookout to check the enemy ’s situation in the carriage. At this moment, the other party released an arrow and directly shut off the lookout. All the arrow rain from the city wall was blocked, and the soldier who was responsible for pushing the ladder was protected by a baffle. Arrow clusters can't shoot at all.
Behind them are a row of archers under the protection of the shield soldiers. The range of the bow and arrow is farther than the wall on the city wall. Just shortly after the battle, the defending archers at the head of the city were completely suppressed.
Under the cover of the bow and arrow, the cloud ladder approached the city wall. The soldiers in the cloud ladder ran out of the carriage and fixed the cloud ladder, and they flew like a wolf to the wall. At the same time, the catapult in the rear had also put the wall into the range. The soldiers hadn't come out completely, and the five stone bullets had hit the wall with a harsh roar.
"Boom ~"
The gravel splashed, and the stone walls in many places directly cracked, exposing the rammed earth inside.
Although Chenggu is not an earth wall, only the outer layer of the city wall construction is made of brick and stone, and the inside is filled with rammed earth. Although the defensive strength is much higher than that of the city wall built purely by rammed earth like Mianyang, but Under the bombardment of Liu Yi's catapult, it also appeared a bit vulnerable.
Shou Jiang looked at the female wall that was directly smashed. He was just a little bit close, and he was about to be hit by the stone bomb that fell from the sky.
Look at the power, it will really hit the person, it is estimated that even the whole body can not stay.
"General, I can't hold it!" The county lieutenant came to the general with a screeching face, crying sadly.
Conquered from the top ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was suppressed by the enemy archers. Those General Liu Beijun who had been killed were fierce, and the battle was just beginning, and there was a feeling of being unable to resist.
The defender recovered, and some feared kicked the county lieutenant: "Reinforcement?"
He had sent someone to Nanzheng to ask for support long before this Liu Beijun arrived. Nanzheng came here. If he marched in a hurry, he would be able to get there most of the day. He did n’t even see a ghost, which made him quite anxious. .
"I have never seen reinforcements!" The county lieutenant aggrieved.
The defender gritted his teeth: "Keep on guarding, guarding today, and if the reinforcements cannot arrive tonight, then surrender in the city!"
During the talk, the second round of stone bombs had been smashed down again. The guard would quickly hide behind and watch the battlefield where the killing was fierce. He twitched a few times in his heart, and he even wondered if he could keep up to the sky like this. black.
The war continued. In the afternoon, the siege car was thrown into the battlefield, and the city gate was almost broken. The city head was lost several times. In the evening, Guan Ping finally withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. The guard will count the losses. One day When he came down, he damaged nearly half of the Centaurs, but the reinforcements did not come late. This battle ... no way to fight!
