Chapter 87 Siege
Seeing Lu Bu's confident look, Liu Xuan felt proud in his heart.

Although Jia Xu's suggestion was sound, Liu Xuan now had elite soldiers and generals at his disposal, and Yan Baihu's [-] troops were not taken seriously at all.

Moreover, time waits for no one, Sheyang City is in ruins, and only Ji Ying's two thousand Benlang Camp in the city can survive a battle.
Most of the remaining [-] soldiers were newly recruited recruits and had no combat effectiveness at all.

"Okay." Liu Xuan stood up proudly and ordered to everyone,

"For this battle, we will lead the Tiger Camp with 500 men and the Huaiyin Cavalry with 500 men. I will be the commander myself, Lu Bu will be the vanguard general, and Jia Xu will be the military advisor. We will assemble the army today and set off tomorrow to attack Sheyang."

Huaiyin only has [-] war horses. To quickly support Sheyang, cavalry is needed.

At the south gate of Sheyang County, Yan Baihu led [-] soldiers to the city.

Ji Ying led two thousand men to the Wolf Camp and lined up at the city gate to confront Yan Baihu.

Ji Ying was riding on a war horse holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, and looked down upon Yan Baihu outside the city.
"Yan Baihu, I didn't expect you to be so courageous that you actually dared to attack Sheyang. It seems that the 3000 million yuan that was paid to redeem someone last time was not enough to make you feel bad."

As soon as Ji Ying's words came out, there was a small commotion among the soldiers behind Yan Baihu.

Those commotion soldiers were obviously those captured at White Horse Lake.

In the Battle of Baima Lake, Liu Xuan killed all 7000 Yan Xing men and captured Yan Baihu's [-] reinforcements.

Such an unbearable scene is enough to cast a shadow on these soldiers for the rest of their lives.

Yan Baihu also knew this. These soldiers needed a victory to restore their fighting spirit.

And Sheyang, whose city is in ruins, is the best target for attack.

"Hmph, during the battle at White Horse Lake, my brother Yan Xing just fell into your scheme. Today is the day to settle all the old scores. Brothers, whoever dares to fight and take this man's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."

After all, these people were bandits, and under the heavy reward, they were all eager to give it a try.

As soon as Yan Baihu spoke, a man rode out beside him.

"Brother, this boy is just a young boy, let me take his head."

The speaker was Yan Baihu's subordinate when he was a bandit, and he still used to call Yan Baihu his eldest brother.

This man was born with a ruthless face and a fierce appearance, and was known for his willingness to fight without his life.

After hearing Yan Baihu's order, he picked up the mace and rushed towards Ji Ying with a roar.

Ji Ying watched coldly as the person came rushing towards him brandishing a mace without any plan.

The three-pointed knife in his hand was horizontal, and he clamped the horse's belly and rushed over.

Both sides rushed to the field, weapons were drawn out, and they fought hard for a round.

The mace and the three-pointed knife clashed, and the huge impact knocked Ji Ying's three-pointed knife aside.
The sharp fangs of the mace brushed against Ji Ying's body and he swung it over.

The two sides passed each other.

The thief general gained the upper hand with one blow and felt that Ji could not win.

Coming roaring again brandishing the mace.

Ji Ying just tried a move and already figured out the attack pattern of the mace.
To put it bluntly, it is just suppression with brute force. However, for bandits, they often defeat ten groups with one force. This bandit just relied on this desperate fighting style and repeatedly made meritorious deeds in Yan Baihu Army.

But Ji Ying's martial arts skills all came from Ji Ling's teachings. Now he has inherited Ji Ling's three-pointed two-edged sword, and his body strength has been transformed and is now different from what it used to be. How can the thief general be suppressed with just brute force?

This time, Ji Ying did not attack, but sat quietly on the horse, waiting for the thief to come whistling with a mace,
Suddenly he lifted the reins, and the horseman stood up on his crotch.

The man and the horse become one, and can barely avoid the attack of the mace.

The thief will be hit in the air by the mace, and his body can only use the inertia to urge the war horse to continue forward.

The entire back suddenly became empty.

Ji Ying's horse landed, and the three-pointed knife in his hand was stabbed back.
The unsuspecting thief was stabbed directly in the back by the three-pointed knife, and fell from his horse with a scream.

Ji Ying withdrew the three-pointed knife and looked at Yan Baihu's army.

"Who else?"

In two rounds, Yan Baihu's warriors were killed, and Yan Baihu's army was immediately suppressed.However, Yan Baihu went from being a small bandit to becoming a county guard after fighting countless battles.
What kind of battles have I never seen? Seeing that the morale of the enemy troops is high, the morale of our own troops is somewhat shaken.

Give up this one-on-one situation immediately and give full play to the advantage of having more people.

With a wave of the sword,
"All charge!"

Although Ji Ying was brave, he only had 2000 men behind him, and Yan Baihu had 1 men. Even if the front army charged,

Its momentum is enough to surpass 2000 people.

Besides, these armies started from thieves really like this kind of chaotic fighting.

1 people rushed towards Benlang Camp from three directions.

Even though the Benlang camp has a strong force, it is difficult to resist.

The soldiers in the front row were instantly submerged in the tidal wave of enemy troops.

However, after this charge, Yan Baihu's troops had completely recovered from the low morale caused by the failure of the duel.

Ji Ying frowned and looked at the soldiers rushing in front of him.
They had no choice but to order the soldiers in the front row to block the rebels, and the rest of the troops quickly retreated to the city and relied on the city wall to hold on.

More than 100 soldiers from the Benlang Battalion in the front row resisted desperately, but in the end they failed to break through and died among the rebels.

"Brothers, Liu Xuan's army is nothing more than this. Charge for me and capture Sheyang. I will reward you based on your merits."

Yan Baihu's appeal to the army was extraordinary. For a while, the soldiers pushed the siege equipment and started the siege.

Sheyang County has already been attacked by Yan Xing once, and the city walls are in dilapidated condition.

Fortunately, in addition to Ji Ying's two thousand elite men from the Benlang Battalion, there are also three thousand veterans in the city who already have combat effectiveness.

Although the five thousand newly recruited soldiers have no combat effectiveness, they are more than enough to transport supplies and help defend the city.

For a time, the siege team and the defending team fought together, and the city was soon filled with corpses.

Yan Baihu also saw the dilapidation of Sheyang City. Even if the defenders relied on the city wall to defend,

It's not much of an advantage either.

The soldiers stepped up their offensive.

Under Yan Baihu's personal supervision, he actually broke through an opening and reached the top of the city.

Yan Baihu was about to lead his troops to attack from the breach when he suddenly felt a rumble on the ground.
Then, on the western horizon, a large flag slowly rose,
The horses are galloping and the flags are flying.

The black cavalry galloped towards the south of Sheyang City. On the fluttering flag,

A big Liu character is particularly eye-catching.

Liu Xuan is here!

Although Yan Baihu had never met Liu Xuan, from the words of the three thousand reinforcements redeemed,
We already know how fierce and terrifying Liu Xuan is.

The name Jia Xu, the human butcher, was also spread very evilly.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"Get your formation in order and prepare to face the enemy!"

With the sound of gold ringing, the messengers galloped to various places at the same time, conveying Yan Baihu's orders to various ministries.

The opponent's reinforcements have arrived, and it is no longer appropriate to attack the city at this time to avoid being attacked from both sides.

Yan Baihu's team was well-trained. They quickly left the city gate and set up their formation.

The cavalry galloping to the west also arrived at the foot of Sheyang City.

As a vanguard general, Lu Bu carried a Fangtian painted halberd.
Riding his horse to the front of the formation,

"You have been surrounded. If you put down your weapons, you will avoid death. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
