Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 480 Onslaught and Slow Fetch
On the second day, all was well, and Liu Yu did not attack Ying Yang.On the third day, it was still calm, but it was like the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, Liu Yu suddenly led an army and stormed Yingyang City.Of course, because of his identity, it is impossible to take the arrow in person, but he is just beating the drums and cheering for the soldiers on the battlefield.

This effect is not as good as taking arrows personally, but it also boosts the morale of the soldiers, especially the fierce generals such as Xu Chu and Zhou Cang who attacked the city together.

This time the siege started quickly and ended quickly, but it was more tragic than the previous sum. Even the serious Jushou suspected that Liu Yu really wanted to kill Xudu.

Regardless of whether Liu Yu really wants to fight or not, Ju Shou's heart is heavy. On the one hand, Liu Yu's pressure comes from him. It must be known that he suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

Don't you see the pile of corpses at the top of the city, and the city wall is as red as blood for ten miles?Don't you see that the people in the city are as thin as bones, and the enemies below the city are like a tide?
This battle is definitely not a battle of offense and defense, but a battle of life and death!
Jushou stood at the top of the city, seeing the miserable scene, his eyes were as cold as winter.As if he had made up his mind, he stared at Xudu, then looked at Liu Yu's camp, and murmured: "Duke Yuan, let Shi build a city of flesh and blood for you, and defend Yuan's from this powerful enemy in the south—even though he died nine times, He still has no regrets!"

war!
On the second day of the siege, Xu Chu went down the mountain like a tiger, risking arrows and leading his guards to attack Yingyang.He swung the broadsword in his hand and shot down all the arrows, unexpectedly creating a way to attack the city.

When besieging the city, he was unwilling to be lonely, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, climbing up the ladder with both legs.There is no need to help!
When the enemy smashed the stone, he raised his shield and smashed the stone away. Sometimes, before he could hit the stone, he directly split the stone with a big knife.The enemy poured golden juice, but he didn't even avoid it, and directly put a big shield on top of his head.

For a moment, Liu Yujun's momentum was like a rainbow, and Yingyang's defenders were overwhelmed.

This is not over yet, on the other side Zhou Cang led a team of Jinyiwei to attack the city.There is really no need to say more about the effect, as long as Zhou Cang and Jin Yiwei attack the top of the city, you will know their ferocity and bravery.

At that time, Ju Shou, who was commanding in the middle, changed his face, and hurriedly joined the reserve army, unable to control so much anymore.One side personally led to the other side to resist Xu Chu.

This bloody battle to the death did not end until dusk when Liu Yu ordered the withdrawal of troops.Although Liu Yujun failed to win Yingyang, Jushou knew that he did not win. If Liu Yu attacked again tomorrow, Yingyang would be in danger.

Without hesitation, Ju Shou wrote to Xu Du overnight for help.This letter was sent to Xu Du urgently and urgently.

Around dawn, the letter came to Yuan Shang, who was so startled that Yuan Shang didn't have time to think about Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, so he hurriedly asked Ren Wenwu to discuss Yingyang's matter.

This time, because of the urgency of the situation, they quickly discussed the result: Yuan Xi led the army to support Ying Yang, and Yuan Shang also sent a team of soldiers.

When this mixed team came to Yingyang, Yingyang was already in danger, and Liu Yu's soldiers were constantly climbing to the top of the city.Without hesitation, as soon as this army came, Liu Yu had no choice but to fight and retreat, not daring to procrastinate too much.

It must be known that his losses in the past few days are not small, not much less than Yingyang, especially Jin Yiwei has lost a lot.It was precisely because of this that he did not continue to fight hard.But then again, this was also Liu Yu's goal, so he slowed down the pace of attack a little.

Although the pace has slowed down, Liu Yu still dispatches Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang and others to take turns attacking the city every day, without giving Yingyang time to rest.This is to prepare for his capture of Ying Yang.

Speaking of stopping Cao Cao's pace, Jia Xu later offered another trick, which was to form an alliance with Gongsun Du.However, Liu Yu knew that Gongsundu was not trustworthy, and he was not connected to Cao Cao's land, so he expected that Gongsundu would not be able to form an alliance with him.However, he secretly asked Gongsundu to form an alliance with Yuan Shang.

Not to mention, although Gongsundu attacked Youzhou, he was willing to form an alliance with Yuan Shang at this time, because Cao Cao attacked him, and he was unable to fight back, and the situation was very critical.And Yuan Shang was also willing, because firstly, Youzhou was not under his control, and secondly, Liu Yu and Cao Cao put pressure on him, so he had to seek allies.

When it comes to seeking allies, Yuan Shangke also found Liu Qi, but Zhuge Liang's army was trapped in Shu, and he was temporarily powerless.With these words, it seems that he intends to form an alliance with Yuan Shang, but he just feels that his current strength is not enough.Therefore, Yuan Shang is still very excited, hoping that Jingzhou will end the campaign against Shu soon.

In this regard, Liu Yu frowned, but there was nothing he could do for the time being.In fact, he had already found someone to contact Zhuge Liang, and the conversation was very good, but there was no real progress.But Zhuge Liang concealed his heart, so Liu Yu didn't worry too much, so he marched into Jingzhou.

Of course, this was also because the situation on Liu Ye's side was still undecided.

Yingyang attacked fiercely, Jingzhou didn't move, and Xuzhou took slowly. This is Liu Yu's current action.

Xuzhou, since Xu Shu and Lu Su took Xiapi by surprise, it has basically become a foregone conclusion, but it will not be fully included under Liu Yu's banner for a while, because there are still turmoil and unwilling trials.

It's a pity that Xu Shu and Lu Su are one on the left and one on the right, how can the trial match stop them?

Originally, if Yuan Shang increased his troops, it would be possible for the trial and allocation to defend, and it would be basically impossible to counterattack.But Yuan Shang himself was too busy, and Xuzhou was not as important as Yingyang, so Yuan Shang did not increase his troops.In this case, the trial match still sticks to the city.If Xu Shu and Lu Su attacked by force, they might have suffered heavy losses, but they didn't need to attack by force at all.

The rich families in the city are eager to take refuge in Liu Yu, and among them is Mizhu, a big merchant family.Since Liu Bei's death, he has settled in Xuzhou, and he has given up the heart of "extraordinary goods to live in".But this time Liu Yu attacked Xu, allowing him to see the opportunity for his family to rise again.Therefore, he did not hesitate to seek refuge with Liu Yu, and was willing to be an internal response.

Compared with them, the courage of other big families is much weaker. Although they also took refuge in Liu Yu, they dared not take any real actions, especially the insiders, because the trial match killed several insiders.In addition, they don't need to work as hard as the Mi family, like Chen Dengzhi's Chen family, but the Xuzhou nobles don't need to take risks to express their sincerity.

It is precisely because of this that Xuzhou is taken slowly, otherwise it should be taken quickly.But no matter, with the cooperation of Mi Zhu, Xu Shu and Lu Su finally broke through the last city and captured the judge alive.

However, the interrogation was too strong, and before Shouchun could be released, he went on a hunger strike and died in prison.This is a loyal subject, despite its many flaws.

With Xuzhou established, Liu Yu was relieved, and set his sights on Yingyang, Jingzhou, Xudu, and Jizhou; on Liu Ye, Zhuge Liang, Yuan Shang, and Cao Cao!
