King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 169 Changli Tianyu
As soon as Gongsun Zan died, although Liu Yu ordered the soldiers to search for Gongsun Zan's body in the ruins, they only found a lot of charred corpses that were charred and inhuman, but no one believed in Gongsun Zan's death. Day, and presented to the imperial court, asking for a reward.

Liu Yu didn't pursue Li Lin's swallowing of Yi Jing's food and supplies. Although Li Lin was puzzled, since Liu Yu didn't dare to make trouble with him, he should run away quickly.

Just after Daqing, Li Lin left Yijing on the grounds that Changli was not peaceful. Liu Yu didn't have everyone to keep him. He advanced to Youzhou and had a lot of things to do. Liu Yu didn't want to look at Li Lin here either. upset.

Li Lin hurried back to Changli, but Tian Yu's [-] troops were still in a stalemate with Xu Liang. It was said that it was a stalemate, but Xu Liang surrounded and did not fight, and Tian Yu also defended and did not break through. After a long time, even the city Seeing that the enemy's army was not enough to attack the city for a long time, the defenders in the city were slack.

Xu Liang and Tian Yu also knew each other. Xu Liang knew that Tian Yu would be under Li Lin's command in the future, and Tian Yu also knew that he would surrender to Li Lin in the end. There was no fighting spirit anymore, Li Lin had been in the factory for several months, Changli had run out of food, Xu Liang even sent Tian Yu the food on the grounds of being sympathetic to the people in the city, Tian Yu readily accepted it, and in the end even the people in the city wanted to If they want to go out of the city, Tian Yu will let them out, and Xu Liang will not stop them, the people will go wherever they like when they go out of the city.

On this day, just as Tian Yu went to the top of the city, he saw the flag of the commander-in-chief of the enemy army flying in the distance, and the big letter Li fluttered in the wind. Tian Yu knew that Gongsun Zan was either dead or captured alive. Li Lin joined the army in Changli. The duel with Li Lin has only just begun.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Lin led his army to the city. Li Lince stepped forward, and Tian Yu said to the soldiers next to him, "Don't shoot arrows without my order!"

Li Lin looked at Tian Yu on the top of the city from the bottom of the city, cupped his hands and bowed, and said with a smile, "Brother Guorang, are you here all right?"

Tian Yu said, "General Li, did it really go well?"

Li Lin nodded and said, "It's going very well! It's just that the city of Changli, which is advanced to the country, is a headache for someone. I don't know what the country is going to do?"

Tian Yu smiled and said, "Hehe! It depends on you, General Li, what you plan to do!"

Li Lindao: "Oh? If that's the case, I want to ask, Brother Guorang, are you willing to surrender?"

Tian Yu looked at Li Lin, shook his head firmly and said, "Now, don't surrender!"

Li Lin understood what he meant, and while riding his horse back, he said, "The army will attack the city immediately!"

Tian Yu stared and shouted, "The whole army is ready for war!"

Sure enough, when Li Lin returned to the camp, Xu Liang immediately commanded the army to attack the city, "Boom boom boom..."

With the roar of war drums, about 5000 troops rushed towards the city on ladders. Xu Liang's flag slowly approached. Tian Yu didn't dare to neglect. If you show a little bit of your own ability, you will not be reconciled.

Tian Yu yelled "Be alert!" Under the command, the soldiers on the top of the city either bent their bows and set up arrows, or were about to throw wooden piles and stones.

"150 steps, [-] steps, [-] steps..." Including Tian Yu, everyone on the top of the wall silently calculated the approaching pace of the enemy.

The enemy army was slowly approaching, and when they were about to reach the range of the archers, Tian Yu raised his hand and wanted to order to release the arrows, but at this moment, the enemy army, which was just about to attack the city, suddenly surged like a tide He retreated, and walked cleanly in a moment.

Immediately, Tian Yu's complexion became a little ugly. In Tian Yu's eyes, he saw the word difficult, and Tian Yu sighed, "This method is poisonous!"

The attacking party and the defending party are two completely different concepts. The attacking party takes the initiative, while the defending party is completely passive.You don't know when the attacking party will attack.Therefore, the soldiers defending the city must be patient and mentally tough.

Tian Yu's army was originally of poor quality, not as good as Li Lin's soldiers. Even if the morale was boosted because of Tian Yu's deep popular support, this fact could not be concealed.And now Li Lin has played such tricks again.

For three consecutive times, the generals with three banners were changed, each time with 5000 people.Amidst the roar of drums, the aggressive siege of the city came to an abrupt end when it was about to enter the attack range.This is nothing to Li Lin's army, because the soldiers know very well whether this is a real attack, so they are very relaxed. In addition, Li Lin has the advantage of his comrades in the number of soldiers. I just want to tell Tian Yu that I will not overwhelm you with the advantage of numbers.

But for the soldiers defending the city, they have to face pressure every time, a pressure that the enemy will attack.The archer tensely pulled the bowstring.The rest of the soldiers were also bent over, ready to work together to lift stones, logs, etc.

After Li Lin's army did this three times, the shortcomings of Tian Yu's army were completely exposed.Some people began to lose concentration.

"People who don't want to die at the top of the city, don't want the city to be breached, and let Li Lin plunder the city raise their heads and stare at the front." Although Tian Yu kept walking on the city, roaring, let his soldiers Constantly urging the soldiers to be vigilant, vigilant, but some soldiers still lost their minds. After three times, some people began to not believe in evil.Anyway, another feint.

But soon, they tasted the bitter fruit. For the fourth time, the beating of drums sounded in the camp of Li Lin's army, and another 5000 people rushed out.The soldiers habitually thought that this was a feint, and a large group of people relaxed their vigilance.But this time, Li Lin's soldiers quickly crossed the attack range, seventy steps, fifty steps.Thirty steps.The speed was very fast, and some guards didn't even come to their senses.

"Kill, shoot to kill." When Tian Yu was also excited, the roar sounded, and the soldiers came back to their senses, drew their bows and shot arrows in a panic.But it was too late. At this time, Li Lin's army under the city had brought down the ladder and quickly crossed the moat.Go straight to the city wall.

The archers shot arrows in a panic, weak.This made Li Lin's army approach the city directly.Set up the ladder and prepare to attack the city.

"Calm down and continue to shoot the enemy in the distance. Ordinary soldiers go up, pick up logs and boulders, and smash them down." He had noticed Li Lin's plot early on, and observed that something was wrong with his own soldiers.Tian Yu was very calm at the moment, commanding the soldiers to defend the city in an orderly manner.

Following Tian Yu's calm command, the soldiers quickly calmed down.Follow the steps in training, shoot arrows quickly, and throw logs.stone.The soldiers of Li Lin's army who climbed up the city were quickly beheaded, and many soldiers under the city were smashed into a pulp amidst the screams of many people.Not far away, the soldiers of Li Lin's army who were still marching towards the city were shot and killed by bows and arrows. The Li Lin's army, which was still arrogant just now, was quickly suppressed.

Li Lin rode his horse to watch the battle from the rear, while Xu Miao said in confusion, "My lord, we have already reached this point. Since Gongsun Zan died, Tian Yu in Changli City must know that he is the only one who is still supporting the city. Why did we directly besiege the city?" In a few days, Changli will run out of food, and Tian Yu will open the city and surrender! Now we have to waste our efforts to attack the city, isn't this a waste of soldiers' lives for no reason?"

Li Lin smiled and replied, "Jingshan! Although you don't have much contact with this Tian Yu, once you know Tian Yu, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Xu Miao thought for a while and said, "What about Tian Yu? He is very intelligent, and he is from a poor family, so he knows how to be considerate of the common people and soldiers. Otherwise, the people in Changli City would not support him like that!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Well! There are not many people in this world who can make Jingshan praise their talents!"

Xu Miao smiled, and Li Lin went again, "Since this Tian Yu is extremely talented, and he came from a poor family, he has reached his current position little by little. This is really a task that our army needs. They all have this arrogance emanating from their bones, Tian Yu is like this, he is very aware of his current situation, and also understands our thoughts, but why did he answer so resolutely when I asked him whether to surrender? It is because this Tian Yu still refuses to accept me. Since he refuses to accept me, even if I force him to surrender, he will not do his best to serve me. If I convince Tian Yu in the city of Changli now, after he surrenders to me, He will definitely assist me wholeheartedly and will never betray. People like Tian Yu, as long as they identify a lord, they will definitely assist me for life and will not betray. Tian Yu will also follow you, Ziyi, Xu Liang, Yan They are the people I trust the most!"

In Li Lin's words, he also expressed his trust in Xu Miao and others by the way. Xu Miao was very useful, and immediately nodded and said, "Well! Although Yuan Jie does not have brave combat power and top-level resourcefulness, Yuan Jie, you Trying to figure out people's hearts and buying people's hearts is unparalleled in the world! Haha..."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe! You're welcome, you're welcome..." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing that the battle at the top of the city has become a stalemate, Li Lin sighed, "This Tian Yu really has some tricks! Order, withdraw the troops!"

As soon as the military order was issued, there was a sound of "Ding Ding Ding..." It was the sound of gold ringing from the camp of Li Lin's army. In the crisp sound, the soldiers of Li Lin's army did not dare to fight, and quickly retreated.

At the gate of the camp, Li Lin glanced at the soldiers returning from his own side. The losses were not that great. People like Li Lin and Tian Yu had good accuracy in their subordinates, and they would not let their soldiers lose too much because of the fighting skills between the two sides. , It's really worthless for them to die like this.

Li Lin raised his head and looked towards the direction of the city. He only looked at the top of the city, and looked at Tian Yu who could be vaguely seen. When Tian Yu saw Li Lin's army retreating, he also stopped and looked into the distance. The commander-in-chief was watching here. Li Lin......
