    "Zijing, let the three thousand soldiers of the second battalion go to the city!" Zhang Xiu looked at the three thousand soldiers led by E Huan and gave the order to Meng Da.

    "Second Battalion?" Meng Da was a little confused. The defenders below the city were divided into two battalions. The first battalion was a veteran of the Xiliang Corps. It was very powerful. These were the soldiers who defended the city just now.  The second battalion was composed of county soldiers, government soldiers, and newly recruited soldiers from the previous city, totaling 10,000 people.

    Originally, they planned to break up these soldiers and organize them into the Xiliang Army.  However, since a war was about to begin, although this arrangement could improve the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers, it would significantly reduce the combat effectiveness of the original Xiliang Corps. Therefore, the first battalion was reorganized into a first battalion, which was only used as a supplementary defense at critical moments.  city.

    "Zijing, look, these soldiers of E Huan, although their clothes and armor are in good condition, they lack a sense of aura. Apparently they were all county soldiers in the past and their combat power is not strong. They can be used by us to hone the second battalion."  Zhang Xiu explained.

    "No!" Meng Da understood immediately and immediately got off the tower.

    Liu Cong, Fazheng and others at the corner of the tower also nodded, affirming Zhang Xiu's decision.

    Three thousand soldiers from the second battalion went to the top of the city. The soldiers on the top of the city, under the leadership of the captain, went down to the city to repair.

    Although these soldiers are not strong in combat power, they are all full of energy.  They all understand the military service policy of the Han army. As long as they fight hard, they will make meritorious service, and if they make meritorious service, they will definitely be rewarded. Even if they die in battle, the reward will be sent home.  Therefore, they all want to improve their combat effectiveness and become real Han soldiers.

    The barbarian soldiers attacking the city just now, coupled with the evil magic of Mulu, the master of Ba Gang Cave, really filled them with fear.

    But later they discovered that Liu Cong, the king of Han, had been on top of the city tower, and that the barbarians who knew magic arts had been completely defeated. They no longer feared in their hearts, and at the same time they were full of fighting spirit.

    With the Lord here, they are invincible!

    The gale crossbow is almost a disposable weapon. It is impossible to install the crossbow arrows in such a short period of time. Therefore, the county soldiers led by E Huan were lucky enough to rush to the city before encountering a dense barrage of arrows.

    But they did not have the strong bodies of the barbarian soldiers, and they screamed repeatedly after being shot.  Although the war drums kept beating, some soldiers still retreated.

    E Huan was also a ruthless man. Without even waiting for his team to take action, he chopped off the heads of several retreating soldiers with a broadsword.

    Those county soldiers finally did not dare to retreat and rushed forward.

    There was still a volley of arrows on the top of the city, and rolling logs and thunder stones kept flying down. The corpses of the barbarian soldiers were quickly covered by the corpses of these county soldiers.

    Watching the siege soldiers fall one by one, the Han army defending the city became even more excited. Although this was the first battle for many of them, they quickly overcame their fear. Their companions were not nervous or afraid when their companions were shot down the city.  Instead, he shot the arrows of revenge into the enemy's body.

    E Huan¡¯s face became increasingly ugly, and he roared hysterically.  The soldiers also shouted and climbed up the ladder.  But not to mention climbing to the top of the city, there are very few people who even climb halfway up the ladder.

    On top of the city, Zhang Xiu and Meng Da, who were commanding the battle, were much more relaxed than before. Although the combat power of the soldiers on both sides was much weaker than last time, they still had the advantage of geographical location, making it impossible for the soldiers who were attacking the city to attack the city.  Can't hold my head up.

    "Prefect Zhu, these three thousand soldiers are about to be lost. If we continue to fight like this, there will be no results!" Gao Ding, who was watching the battle from a distance, said to Zhu Bao.

    "Alas" Zhu Bao sighed, "The Han army is more powerful than we thought. This battle is not easy to fight. Send the order to withdraw the troops!"

    These soldiers and horses are part of their army. If they are damaged too much, their status will be seriously affected.

    ¡°Ding¡­¡± The sound of ringing gold finally sounded.

    E Huan commanded the remaining less than a thousand people to withdraw.

    ¡°We must win!¡±

    ¡°We must win!¡±

    ¡°We must win!¡±

    The Han soldiers on the top of the city cheered. Although the battle lasted not very long, many people still felt very tired and sat down in a pool of blood on the top of the city, but they were shouting excitedly.  .

    "Well done, let the soldiers have a good rest and remember everyone's military merits. No soldier who died in battle can be missed. The rewards they deserve must be distributed to their families!" Liu Cong told the soldiers.  Very satisfied with the performance.

    "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely do it!" Zhang Xiu said loudly.

    "Thank you, lord!" the soldiers on the top of the city said in unison.

    "Be filial and upright, let DengZhi and Qin Mi quickly organized county soldiers and government soldiers to clean the battlefield. The weather was getting hot. They must prevent the plague and let military doctors quickly heal the soldiers. Anyone who could be saved should not give up!  "

    "My lord is kind, and my subordinates will definitely do as I am told!"

    "Cleaning up the corpses outside the city was a matter of common agreement between the two warring parties in this era. Each side sent 300 soldiers without any weapons to clean up all the corpses of their own side, burn them and then bury them.

    After this strong attack, Liu Bei's army outside the city made no movement for several days, which made Liu Cong feel a little strange.  So he summoned Fazheng and others to the Han Palace to discuss matters.

    "What do you think Liu Bei's purpose is when he stands still?" Liu Cong asked.

    "Does he want to trap us in the city?" Zhang Song said.

    "No!" Fazheng shook his head, "There is sufficient food and grass in the city, and the soldiers and armor are complete. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both know this. Even if he is trapped for a year and a half, he will not be able to trap us to death. On the contrary, as time goes by, their  The food route may be cut off by us, so Zhuge Liang will not make such a move!"

    "Then what does he want to do? It's impossible to wait for reinforcements!" Deng Ai also frowned. Where can Liu Bei have reinforcements now?  Even if there were, Han troops would be stationed at every pass, and they would not be able to enter Shu at all.

    "My lord, my subordinates think that Liu Bei may secretly have an alliance with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, and want to use a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, forcing us to evacuate Chengdu." Fa Zheng said.

    "We are heavily guarded everywhere. Where do they want to attack?" Liu Cong frowned.

    "Cao Cao will send more troops to Guandu, and Sun Quan will also gather troops at Sanjiangkou to look at Jingzhou!"

    "Jingzhou?" Liu Cong thought for a moment. The military strength in Jingzhou is indeed a bit weak now. Cheng Gongying has arrived in Hanzhong. Now there are only Gan Ning's 30,000 troops in the entire Jingzhou.

    But now, if we want to reinforce Jingzhou, we really have no troops to send!  If Cheng Gongying withdraws, Hanzhong will be in danger.  If Huang Zhong goes to reinforce, Xu Huang will definitely seize the opportunity to attack Luoyang.

    "My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, if Jiangdong dares to attack Jingzhou, we will burn everything!" Deng Ai said.

    "burn one's boats?"

    "Yes, General Gan Ning did this last time. The navy went down the river and swept across Yuzhang, Jianye, Wujun, and Guangling. It depends on whether Sun Quan dares or not?" (Remember the website address: www.  hlnovel.com
