Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 280 The Battle of Jianning ([-])

After a day of grappling.

The defenders, who were already very tired, after eating and drinking enough, embraced each other and fell asleep with their weapons in their arms, cuddling each other, falling asleep in this rare peaceful night.

Of course, there are still guards.

Jiang Wan led more than a hundred soldiers and guarded them in the middle of the night.

After that, it was replaced by Liu Cong leading the soldiers to guard for the rest of the night.

Although it is estimated that the barbarian army will not attack the city at night, who dares to really confirm that they don't want to be killed without knowing why in their dreams.

Let most of the soldiers rest, arrange a small number of soldiers to watch the night in turn, that is the best plan.

The sky slowly lit up, and the sun showed its face from the east, which also represented the arrival of a new day.

After most of the night.

Liu Cong also woke up from his sleep and took over Jiang Wan's night watch job. He also woke up by himself. According to the set requirements, it was Jiang Wan who woke him up to carry out the night watch handover.

However, he also knew that Jiang Wan might not follow the request.

when he woke up.

The first half of the night also passed for some time, if Jiang Wan hadn't woken up by himself, Jiang Wan would never have woken him up, and he must have stayed up like this until dawn.

Moreover, even after he woke up.

Jiang Wan still didn't intend to rest much, but let him rest. If he didn't use the tone of command at the end, he would have to argue. ,

Shaking his head, he threw away the thoughts in his mind.

Looking at the soldiers on the passage of the city wall, with their backs against the city wall, leaning on each other, and sleeping in each other's arms, if possible, he didn't want to wake them up.

But things are not as beautiful as imagined, and the city still needs to be defended.

Wait until the cook puts the breakfast on the city wall.

With the smell of food, many soldiers and soldiers who were sleeping soundly opened their eyes and stood up without anyone yelling. When they were full, they had the strength to swing their weapons and kill the enemy.

However, it has not waited for everyone to eat two bites.

Then he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance outside the city, banners and flags were flying, and countless soldiers came towards the city like a torrent.

"Here we come!" Liu Cong said with a gleam in his eyes.

"It seems that today will not be like yesterday!" Jiang Wan, who was on the side, also smiled.

The two looked at each other with smiles on the corners of their mouths. Although they don't know why the barbarian army retreated at the last moment, there will never be a second situation, so...

"Let the soldiers get ready!" Liu Cong ordered.

"promise!"

However, there is no need to have orders at all, when the barbarian army camp three miles away has actions, and countless barbarian troops are coming to the city.

Regardless of whether they would choke or not, the guards ate their breakfast voraciously, raised their weapons, and walked directly to the corresponding positions, staring closely at the barbarian army coming towards the city.

From time to time
The mighty and numerous Nanman army came to a place only 500 meters away from the city, stopped and lined up.

The two armies looked at each other.

In the barbarian camp.

A rough young man came out on horseback, looked at Liu Cong on the city wall, and shouted: "I am Meng Huo, the barbarian king. If you are willing to submit to me, Mr. Liu, I will protect you as the master of Jiaozhou!"

The man who came out on horseback was none other than the lord of the southern barbarians, the barbarian king Meng Huo.

"What if I don't surrender?" Liu Cong said with one hand on the edge of the city wall, staring at Meng Huo.

"Then don't call me cruel, and when the city is broken, everyone in the city will be slaughtered!" Meng Huo shouted with a sharp flash of sternness in his eyes.

Liu Cong looked at Meng Huo disdainfully, and said, "Meng Huo doesn't need to waste any more time, the city is here, come and take it if you can!"

"Don't you really care about the life and death of your soldiers?" Meng Huo said.

"Humph!" Liu Cong snorted, and shouted: "I am Jiaozhou Erlang, how can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, why be afraid of a war!"

Hear what Meng Huo said.

How could he not be aware of Meng Huo's plan, and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress their morale, and to divide their relationship, so that he could easily and quickly take Jianning City.

The internal disintegration is the most fatal.

Unfortunately, Meng Huo made a wrong calculation.

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

The defenders on the city wall also held up their weapons and shouted in unison, echoing Liu Cong's words.

As Liu Cong said, they Jiaozhou Erlang are not some kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how could they have the emotion of fear of war.

If you want to fight, fight!

Seeing the situation on the city wall, and the high morale of the defenders.

Meng Huo's face was not very good-looking, and he understood that persuasion and separation were impossible, and he could only attack by force.

"A Hui Nan!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"You led [-] soldiers and captured the city within a stick of incense!"

"promise!"

Meng Huo, who became angry from embarrassment, also directly issued the order to attack the city, no longer willing to waste his words.

Looking at Liu Cong on the city wall was not very friendly, he wanted to see how hard Liu Cong's bones were, how could the defenders of less than five thousand resist the pace of his army.

After accepting Meng Huo's order, Ah Huinan turned around and left on horseback. After pointing out [-] barbarian soldiers, he headed for the city.

You must know that he is also an ambitious person. Although he is under Meng Huo's command and is one of the three cave marshals, he is thinking about the position of the cave master.

He suffered heavy losses yesterday, but he failed to win Jianning City. Although Meng Huo was involved in it, Jin Huan and Dong Tu made a joke, which made him very upset. Knowing that they only saw that they came from a competitive relationship, and if they had the opportunity, they would definitely suppress each other without hesitation.

Now is the time for him to wash away his shame.

"kill!"

Ah Hui murmured loudly, and immediately rushed towards the city.

The [-] soldiers of the barbarian army who were pointed out also followed behind Ah Hui and went towards the city to cover up and kill them. Among them were soldiers carrying ladders.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing the barbarian army charging, Liu Cong also directly gave the order to attack.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~
There was a burst of cracking sound.

Then I saw arrows with a cold light shooting out from the city wall, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air, and falling towards the charging barbarian soldiers.

however.

The dense rain of arrows could not stop the barbarian soldiers from charging.

Braving the arrow rain, he moved forward quickly.

Moreover, after three rounds of arrow rain, no more arrows were shot from the city wall, and it was even more impossible to stop the charge of the barbarian soldiers.

for such a situation.

Liu Cong also felt very helpless. There were no arrows in yesterday's battle. The arrows shot today were all picked up from some corpses when cleaning the battlefield.

"Ready to fight!" Liu Cong shouted.

The archers also threw away the longbows in their hands one after another, drew out the sabers at their waists, and approached the edge of the city wall. Without arrows, the longbows had nothing to do with them. The only thing that was useful was the sabers at their waists. .

As for the longbow, without the arrows, it would be a bit of a hindrance, and it would be difficult to kill people in close combat.
