    Yingchuan is an important battlefield in the south.

    Zang Ba continued to fight, but Le Jin couldn't get out.

    In desperation, Zhang Liao could only choose to attack by force.

    "Fire!" the commander gave the order, and the ballista began to fire.

    With a loud noise, the crossbow arrows sank into the city wall, making a buzzing sound.

    In order not to accidentally injure the people, Zhang Liao did not use a powerful catapult.

    Otherwise, this battle will be easier.

    But, it¡¯s just a little bit.

    Le Jin was very tenacious and turned Xu County into an iron barrel.

    "Attack!"

    After the ballista fired, the infantry phalanx began to advance.

    Zang Ba came to take command in person. When he got close to the city wall, Zang Ba shouted:

    "Raise your shields! Everyone raise your shields!"

    The shield soldier quickly lifted the heavy iron knot.

    After a while, arrows rained down like rain, and Cao Jun on the wall fought back.

    However, the Yangzhou army¡¯s armor was tough and not afraid of bows and arrows.

    As for some light-armored warriors, they hid behind the shield soldiers and took advantage of them.  They were the soldiers responsible for the first wave of climbs, so they received special care.

    And Zangba also held a shield and walked at the forefront.

    "Advance Jinglan and suppress the enemy's archers!"

    The troops responsible for attacking the city this time consist of 5,000 people. Of course, it is impossible for the Tibetan tyrant¡¯s voice to spread throughout the entire army.

    This relies heavily on the messengers, who are the bravest warriors on the battlefield.

    Riding a tall horse, running around in the rain of enemy arrows.

    "The general has an order! Advance through Jinglan and suppress the enemy's archers!"

    One of the wells, after receiving the order, quickly unfurled a red flag.

    This is the signal to attack.

    The flag language of the Yangzhou Army has been very perfect, but the messenger still plays an irreplaceable role.

    "one two three!"

    Under the well railing, the soldiers pushed the well railing forward quickly. The scene was very spectacular.

    After waiting for a certain distance, the Jinglan car stopped, looked down from a high position, and started shooting.

    "Ah! Ah!"

    On the city wall, Cao Cao's army was crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.

    Later, a group of shield bearers were replaced at the front, and the situation got a little better.

    Zangba seized the opportunity, dispersed the queue, and set up ladders.

    "Go up! Go up! Go up!"

    The soldiers began to climb the city wall.

    Seeing this, Cao Cao's army quickly threw the stones they had prepared.

    Countless Yangzhou troops were hit by boulders and fell down.

    When Zangba saw this, his eyes were about to burst. These were the elites among the elites, and they actually fell on the way to attack.

    Boom!

    The jinglan chariot lowered its long pedals, and the infantrymen who had been prepared on it rushed to the city wall.

    Fight your way out!

    "Good opportunity!" Zang Ba quickly ordered the soldiers to continue climbing.

    A fierce battle for the city wall began.

    "kill!"

    Both sides were furious, and the battle lasted all day, and they did not return to camp until night.

    "Damn it!" Zang Ba cursed, because he was injured when he attacked Runan before, so he did not climb the city this time.

    Because of this, Zang Ba witnessed the death of countless people and was in a very bad mood.

    These are brothers who get along day and night!

    "What a shame, can't Le Jin, a coward like him, go out of the city and fight?" Zang Ba said.

    Zhang Liao also sighed.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It would be much easier if we were happy to enter and exit the battle.

    Such a strong attack was too much for Zhang Liao.

    In just one day of fighting, three thousand people were killed and countless others were injured.

    The situation of Cao Cao's army in Xu County is even worse.  But it's better than going to war.

    "Build fifty more wells, I will shoot them to death." Zang Ba said fiercely.

    "Fifty, where are you going to put them?" Zhang He was speechless. Xu County is so big, you might have to surround them.

    "I don't care, I just want to kill them." Zang Ba said.

    "I don't know whether the defenders will die, but the craftsmen in the army will definitely be exhausted by you." Zhang He said.

    Today¡¯s battle, Zhang He was not present because he had to patrol a hundred miles radius.

      The role of cavalry in siege warfare is negligible.

    "There is no way to go on like this, military advisor, you have a flexible mind and think of something." Zang Ba said to Pang Tong.

    "We haven't found any flaws in Xu County, so we are destined to be a tough guy." Pang Tong sighed.

    Zangba looked at Jia Xu again, and Jia Xu gave the same answer.

    Not everything can be opportunistic.

    "We will definitely be able to capture Xu County with continuous fighting, but this loss" Zhang He couldn't go on.

    Everybody knows it.

    It¡¯s not easy!

    It¡¯s not that the Yangzhou Army can¡¯t fight a tough battle, it depends on whether it¡¯s worth it.

    "Just put up the trebuchet! Give them a shot." Zang Ba said.

    "How could Le Jin be unprepared? At most, he would have climbed up the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and losses were unavoidable." Zhang He said, "But once a catapult is used and any civilian is killed, we cannot afford it."

    "Now the common people have become our ancestors!" Zang Ba said in a dull voice, not dissatisfied, just helpless.

    After all, he also supports the decision to protect the people.

    Zangba is a standard civilian who comes from the grassroots.  Originally, he wanted to join Tao Qian, but Tao Qian, a good old man, didn't reuse him.

    Only Liu Ke gave him a chance to come back.

    So Zangba has always cherished it.

    Precisely because of this background, Zangba agreed with Liu Ke¡¯s ideas with both hands.

    Do not disturb the people, do not harm the people.

    However, due to this decision, the battle was tied up, and Zang Ba didn't know what to say to express his aggrievedness.

    "Don't worry, it's Le Jin who should be anxious. Once he is anxious, his flaws will easily be revealed." Jia Xu said.

    In one day, the Yangzhou Army was like Mount Tai pressing to the top.

    How could Le Jin not be stressed?

    What he faced was a group of lunatics.

    "I like to hear this." Zang Ba said. He should be so anxious about that coward Le Jin and not take advantage of him.

    Zang Ba turned his head and saw Zhang Liao in a daze, and asked:

    "Wen Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

    "I'm wondering if it's possible to bypass Xu County and attack Changshe. Compared with Xu County, Changshe's defense is much weaker." Zhang Liao said.

    "This is a good idea. If we can capture Changshe, Le Jin should be in a hurry. Maybe he will divide his troops to defend, and we will eat up his support troops and capture Xu County in one go. It's perfect.  !" Zang Ba said.

    How could things be so simple?

    Zhang Liao rolled his eyes, Zang Ba took it too naturally.  First of all, the Yellow Turban commander Bo Cai was blocked by Huangfu Song in Changshe for several months, which shows that Changshe is not easy to fight.

    At that time, the Yellow Turbans were so powerful that they could number hundreds of thousands of people.

    Of course, there is no comparison between the Yellow Turbans and the Yangzhou Army.

    Secondly, when allocating troops, we must consider whether Le Jin will take risks. Once he launches a surprise attack, Zhang Liao will face the dilemma of insufficient troops.

    "Changshe still won't consider it for the time being." Jia Xu said.

    Zhang Liao nodded, now they still have an advantage in Xu County.  If we can't expand our advantage, we'll talk about it later.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes are always fixed on Yingchuan County, where the war will begin.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
