Chapter 397
Liu Yao finally arrived at Guangling City after untold hardships.

After this incident when he dispatched troops, how high-spirited he was, he won two counties without bloodshed, and in the end he would reappear under Guangling City in this embarrassing posture.

And the reason for all this is because of Xu Ding and his Donglai Army.

"Siege the city! Take it for me, and take it for a day."

Liu Yao didn't even know why he gave such an order, but the morale was too low now, the army was ready to fight, and only extraordinary rewards could inspire ambition and fighting spirit.

Anyway, this is not his Yangzhou, so if his reputation is damaged, his reputation will be ruined.

It was also Tao Qian's territory that was harmed, and those who could not get it were destroyed.

If Liu Yao used to be reserved and kept a little bit of rules, now he can't control so much.

Anyway, since ancient times, most of the cities that have been breached have such regulations that they can be looted by soldiers. The difference between everyone is the length of time for this looting.

Good is a few hours, bad is a few days.

That's probably how the so-called soldiers and bandits came from.

Hearing this order, the Yangzhou soldiers screamed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

8000 people with high morale launched an attack on Guangling City.

Although Zhao Yu was a literati and a scholar, for the sake of being strong, he cupped his fists and bowed to Lu Dai, saying, "General Lu's defense of the city is left to you. I'm not good at commanding battles. This is your advantage. The soldiers and horses in the city are actually dispatched by you." , including me."

Lu Dai clasped his fists in return and said, "Your Majesty Zhao is polite, we will defend the city together and mobilize the people and supplies, so I will bother you."

Therefore, Lu Dai took the Donglai army as the main force, supplemented by the soldiers of Guangling County, supplemented by surrendered troops, and began to deploy defenses with the civilian husbands as preparations.

"Counterattack! The archers are in place, shoot me hard, don't begrudge the arrows..."

Yangzhou soldiers rushed over like a tide outside the city, and arrows rained down from outside the city.

In addition to practicing water skills, the two most important skills for sailors are bow bow and archery. This aspect is the key point. They must shoot from a long distance and hit the target. This is an advantage in battle.

Therefore, Lu Dai basically knows how to practice his hands, and he has drawn out the aspect of Chuansi who is strong in archery.

The second skill is the naval melee jumping gang combat. The body must be solid and powerful, and the knife is the best, which is easy to fight in small areas.

He also organized these school swordsmen into a team. At this time, these people were all at the gate of the city tower or under the city. Once the enemy army came up, they immediately went up to the wall, approaching and killing on the narrow wall.

"Come on! Go up to the sky and grab his mother..."

"Come on..."

Countless soldiers of the Yangzhou Army rushed forward in the rain of arrows, and then fell down countless times. A ladder was built on the wall, and they climbed up desperately like wolves and tigers.

"puff……"

Soon many climbed up, and then jumped into the city wall, just about to kill, and then were hacked to death by the swarming Donglai soldiers.

What's more, he was stabbed by the long spear or shot by the archer when he jumped.

Both sides fought desperately, the fight was very fierce, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.

Liu Yao put all his eggs in one basket, he couldn't win Guangling, and he couldn't take Yangzhou back. His career as a prince was over, and there was nothing else to talk about.

So he kept making promises in the rear, raising the value of the reward time and time again.

This battle lasted for half an hour, and the battle was fierce.

Especially the Danyang people among Yangzhou soldiers, their ancestors were born as mercenaries for generations, and every family has a martial arts style, and there is a tradition of daring to fight hard and bloody battles.

However, their offensive efficiency is not very high, because there is no good commander, they are all attacking in a swarm, with only one word in their minds.

fuck it!
So although Lu Dai held the city steadily, he fought very hard.

Looking at the fallen soldiers, I feel distressed.

After fighting for half an hour, he finally defended the city, because the Yangzhou soldiers had no stamina, and their fierceness at the beginning was completely smoothed out.

Too many people died, and they were exhausted, unable to fight at all.

So without Liu Yao's order, they all retreated by themselves.

"Attack! Continue to attack..." I let Liu Yao yell, but I didn't fight anymore. They all retreated to rest, each of them was dejected, and each of them took a big breath of air.

People are like this, when they see that they can eat, they will try their best to find a way and work hard.

But after swabbing it, I found that I couldn't eat it at all, so I didn't expect it at all.

War is a matter of anger.

Liu Yao was not good at managing affairs, let alone boosting morale, and there was no general in the army to preside over military affairs, so the various ministries immediately became scattered and did not give orders.

"Bastard! It's all a bunch of useless trash."

Liu Yao also became hoarse, stomped his feet and turned his head and let out a long sigh. Now he regretted listening to Liu Ye's words.

"kill!"

The Yangzhou army didn't want to fight anymore, but the Donglai army wanted to fight very much, and rushed towards them with bright eyes.

Don't get me wrong, this is not Lu Dai from the city, but Tian Yu, who has traveled a long distance, is chasing after him.

Even though they were so tired that they were going to lie down, when they saw Liu Yao and others, they seemed to have drunk the holy water of the fountain of immortality, and they were full of energy.

Head!

In front is a place of human heads!

This is all military exploits!

Catching Liu Yao is a great achievement!

"Oops, Donglai Army is chasing you, run away!"

I don't know who yelled this, looking to the north, the Yangzhou army who wanted to resist a little suddenly lost their fighting spirit, threw away their weapons, armor and flags, and ran west.

"Hahaha, our reinforcements are here, but I don't know which one it is." Lu Dai was also overjoyed when he saw the friendly army appearing from the north, and immediately ordered: "Open the city gate, the whole army will attack, and capture Liu Yao alive. If you can't catch the alive ones, you can die!"

The defenders in the city suddenly became agitated, and they became excited one by one.

The Yangzhou army outside the city was defeated, and if they left the city too late, they would not be able to capture prisoners and gain credit, so they followed Lu Dai out of the city and chased towards the west.

…………

On that day, Yuan Huan suggested to Yuan Shu: "My lord, we should urge Yanzhou and Qingzhou to take action as quickly as possible, let them capture Beihai and Donglai as quickly as possible, and even go to Weiyuan Island along the bridge to share the pressure for us.

I guess Xu Ding will probably return to Donglai after knowing this situation. At that time, we will quickly destroy Tao Qian, then go north to occupy Langya County, and reach a plan to divide Xuzhou equally with Liu Yao.

Once this plan is successful, we can encircle and kill Xu Ding and go east to occupy Donglai or Weiyuan Island. If we retreat, we can wait for Xu Ding and Yanzhou to fight to the death and kill them all.

Even if you can't kill Xu Ding and occupy Weiyuan Island, you can still eat the three counties of Taishan, Lu, and Rencheng. If you add Boye's Shanyang County, then the lord will own the land of the four states. Comparable to the complete territory of the three states.

At that time, the lord can subdue Liu Yao and Sun Jianan in the south, destroy Liu Biao and merge Jingzhou in the west, flatten Yanzhou in the north and occupy the south of the Yellow River, and resist Xu Ding in the east without restriction. "

It cannot but be said that the cake painted by Yuan Huan is very good and huge, and it is very valuable for strategic implementation.

Yuan Shu was very moved, patted his thigh and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books, Yaoqing really spoke to my heart, I will order people to urge Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Xu Ding is surrounded by me In Xuzhou, if they don't act, I will retreat."

It was impossible to retreat, but it was just to coerce the other side to do it as soon as possible. Yuan Shu laughed loudly and summoned his own envoy, asking him to immediately urge those in the north.
