Seeing that a small number of soldiers and men of Army B had already stormed the city wall and started a white-edged battle with Liu Zhang's men and horses, Liu Bei couldn't help but whisper to Pang Tong and Fa Zheng beside him: "Military division, you see that the enemy's defending strength is decreasing sharply, and it seems that the casualties are not less than the soldiers of our army attacking the city."
In this way, as long as our army persists, it is estimated that it will be able to break through the gate of this city. ”Just listened to the law and said with a smile: "Although Liu Zhang has many soldiers and generals, but the sergeants under his command do not experience bloody battles all year round, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is far inferior to that of our army. ”Pang Tong on the side said: "Today, the enemy army is fully defending this city, it seems that the main force of the enemy army is here, if the lord breaks through the city, the first thing to do is to appease the people, otherwise the people's hearts are unstable, and it is extremely unfavorable to our army." ”"Well, I will."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he greeted the generals under his command and said: "Pass the order, beat the drum and cheer, prepare to attack, and this time you must take this city." ”As soon as the words fell, I only heard the drums behind me, and the two drums beat at the same time, like the sound of phoenix feathers and thunder, exploding between heaven and earth.For a time, the morale of Liu Bei's three armies was greatly boosted, and they swarmed up and rushed straight to the gate of Yucheng.In the rear defense line, a sergeant reported to Huang Quan and others: "My lord, the number of enemy troops has suddenly increased, and the combat effectiveness has also increased sharply, more and more enemy soldiers have landed on the city gate tower, and the city will be lost, let's retreat." ”After hearing this, Huang Quan turned to Zhao Yu and asked, "General Zhao, the enemy army is attacking, should we retreat?"
The enemy's attack has only intensified, but the city gate has not yet been broken, and if we retreat now, I am afraid that with the cleverness of Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, we will definitely see Duan'er, and we must wait. ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at the enemy soldiers who were climbing up the city gate one after another and said: "Before sending a team of people to support the city gate tower immediately, we must let the enemy see that we are desperately defending and stimulate their more fierce offensive steps."
After hearing this, Huang Quan hurriedly urged his sergeants: "Go quickly, do what General Zhao said, give me a team of soldiers and horses to support me, and kill some more enemy soldiers for me." ”After Huang Quan gave the order, a team of 100 sergeants rushed up to the city gate tower with swords and guns in hand and joined the battle group.The defending side suddenly increased its troops, although it was not much, but it was effective to resist the pace of Liu Bei's attack, watching the pace of the attack slow down, Liu Bei couldn't help but say to the two military divisions: "Two military divisions, look, look, the enemy seems to have strengthened the defense of the city gate tower, which is somewhat unfavorable to our army's attack." ”Pang Tong couldn't help but smile when he saw the hundred-strong soldiers: "Hehe, the lord doesn't have to worry.Although the group of soldiers and horses who came to support temporarily slowed down the pace of our soldiers rushing to the city gate, it gave us the opportunity to hit the city gate.However, a hundred soldiers will not solve any problems, this is only the end of the enemy's crossbow. ”"It seems that I was too panicked, and I passed on my military order to attack with the whole army."
After hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Bei gave an order, and all the soldiers of the three armies behind him attacked, vowing to take the city in one go.Although 10,000 soldiers and horses suffered casualties in the early siege, even then they were only a few hundred casualties, and there was no threat to the army.After waiting for another cup of tea, listening to the shouts of the enemy troops outside the city, Zhao Yu knew that the enemy army had begun to attack on all fronts, and couldn't help but say to Huang Quan and Yang Bai beside him: "Lord Huang Quan, general, it's time to retreat now."
Ordered the army to withdraw from the west gate first, and the city defenders immediately abandoned the city gate and retreated. ”As early as when the enemy launched a general attack, Huang Quan and Yang Bai had already heard the killing shouts, although there were 10,000 troops around them, but they couldn't help but be a little panicked when they felt the swarming enemy troops.This time, when they heard Zhao Yu's order to retreat, the two of them couldn't wait to leave early, and hurriedly led the team to start evacuating.After most of the men and horses evacuated, Zhao Yu asked Zhang Ren: "General Zhang, have those soldiers been hidden in the homes of various people" Zhang Ren immediately said after hearing this: "General Zhao, please rest assured, everyone has been in place, I don't know how the general's men and horses are hidden" Zhao Yu smiled at him and said: "General Zhang, don't worry, I have already let all the elite men of the 1,000 Han Dynasty hide in several cellars in the city, and all the cellars have been opened, just when the time comes, they will attack together to kill the enemy." ”Zhang Ren couldn't help but nod after hearing this, secretly sighed at Zhao Yu's carefulness, and then said to him: "Okay, then we will just wait for the counterattack of the army this time to use the signal as a plan to kill the enemy by surprise." ”"Another thing I hope General Zhang will not forget, as soon as our ambush plan is over this time, you and I will leave this place together, leave Yizhou, and go to the Ming Lord."
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Ren's surprised gaze, then patted him on the shoulder, and quickly left with Dian Wei and Gao Ran, heading to the place where the soldiers were ambushed.In the end, the gate of the city was broken by Liu Beijun, looking at the soldiers and horses swarming in, Pang Tong couldn't help but say: "Lord, the gate of the city has been broken by our army, and the enemy army is fleeing in a hurry, order the army to enter the city, and after entering the city, I hope that the lord will close the city gate as soon as possible and appease the people in the city." ”After listening to Pang Tong's order, Liu Bei immediately ordered: "Well, it is rumored that the army enters the city and quickly closes the city gate, remember not to harass the people in the city, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ”As Liu Bei led a group of people and horses to enter the city last, the city gate was immediately closed to prevent the enemy from sneaking in.After entering the city, Chen Zhi arched his hand at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, according to the city captured this time, this should be the main city of the enemy army.This time, the enemy army was defeated, and when they fled in a hurry, they could not even take away the supplies and the strong men in the city.It is reported that this city is a big city, and there are at least two or three thousand households in the city alone, and this time our army can be filled with many strong men again. ”Before Chen Zhi finished speaking, Pang Tong hurriedly persuaded him: "By all means, this time our army has just captured the city, and the enemy army has all retreated and fled, if we recruit troops at this moment, I am afraid that the people in the city will be afraid."
The minister thinks that we should focus on appeasing the people in the city at this moment, and after the city is stable, we should slowly recruit soldiers. ”Liu Bei couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "Well, what the military advisor said makes sense, at this moment, we should first appease the people, and we will talk about recruiting soldiers later." ”Immediately, Liu Bei turned to Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others: "After the city gate is closed, you must be more careful, you must strictly control all the defense lines in the city, and you must not let the enemy army recapture the city in a counterattack." ”Wei Yan immediately clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely protect this city well, and we will never let any enemy army enter the city." ”Outside the city gate, the Yizhou soldiers and Hanzhong soldiers who withdrew from the city rushed out of the city for more than ten miles before stopping.The men and horses of both sides turned and were in one place, and they set up camp and took turns to guard to ensure that the enemy attacked.In the Chinese army tent, Huang Quan said to Yang Bai: "General Yang Bai, this time Liu Bei's army has completely occupied Luocheng, if we want to counterattack, I am afraid we will have to wait until two days later, if we are in a hurry to attack, I am afraid that the soldiers will be physically exhausted, demoralized, and unable to recapture Luocheng." ”Yang Bai immediately retorted: "I'm afraid this won't work, if you wait until two days later, then those hidden sergeants in the city may be discovered."
Their lives will be at risk, so we will gather a large army tomorrow to counterattack and retake the city, otherwise we will lose all opportunities. ”Huang Quan once again emphasized: "If we counterattack so quickly, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the enemy army, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the engagement of our army."
Therefore, Huang still thinks that the soldiers should be allowed to rest, and after replenishing their physical strength, they should attack the enemy with all their strength, otherwise the casualties of our army will increase, which is actually unfavorable. ”Hearing Huang Quan's words that were not good at fighting, Yang Bai couldn't help but be slightly angry, and then said: "By all means, the soldiers of your and my armies in the city, they need more time than us, if we delay a little longer, then they will be in more danger."
We can only wait until tomorrow to attack the city at the latest, otherwise our Hanzhong generals will go alone, and then as long as the city captured by our army will belong to our army, I don't know what Lord Huang Quan wants. ”After hearing this, Huang Quan couldn't help but be slightly stunned and said, "You General Yang, you are somewhat violating our covenant like this." ”"Hmph, the army was set up to lurk in the city, and the counterattack of the army in one fell swoop was also negotiated between the two armies at the beginning.Now, Lord Huang Quan wants to stop this plan because of his own selfishness, so that the soldiers of our army ignore it, how can I, Yang Bai, agree. ”Just kidding, the four generals and a thousand elite soldiers who he had managed to surrender were all in ambush in the city.If you want to be promoted and make a fortune in the future, you will rely on these four generals, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai are not dead, if you lose the four fierce generals like this, it will be a pity for yourself.Especially Zhao Fei and his third brother, one can be literate and martial, and has a unique intelligence.His third brother is even more able to draw with Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei, if he is a good student, he must be the first fierce general in Hanzhong.When the time comes, he will follow himself to lead the army, and I don't know how many military exploits he can bring to himself, such a masterpiece, how could Yang Bai abandon it.Sure enough, after hearing Yang Bai's words, Huang Quan couldn't help but hesitate, no matter what, he couldn't offend this Hanzhong soldier at this moment.At this moment, Yizhou is being invaded by Liu Bei's army, if he offends Hanzhong now, so that the two sides join forces to attack Yizhou, even if Yizhou's strength is doubled, I am afraid it will not be the opponent of the two armies.Looking at Yang Bai's insistence, Huang Quan had no choice but to say stupidly: "Okay, just follow General Yang's plan, and wait until tomorrow, the army will counterattack the city and flank Liu Beijun with the ambush soldiers in the city." ”:
