Chapter 27 Night Attack

What Liu Bei said is actually good, and even very reasonable. When Li Pu set out, each person only had three days of rations.

If supplies cannot be obtained, the remaining 20,000 people will have no choice but to collapse and then be chased and killed by countless cavalry. Even he may die in the rout of the army.

So he had no choice but to capture Jixian.

After Li Pu discussed with Zhang He and Lai Wen for an hour, he chose to stop the entire army due to the situation at hand.

To Li Pu's delight, everyone understood the seriousness of the problem and chose to attack the city without saying a word.

However, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in the city. It will be very difficult to attack the city. The key is to let Gongsun Zan run back to Jixian. Once Gongsun Zan integrates the 30,000 soldiers and horses Liu Yu left in the city, plus Gongsun Zan's remaining

With 40,000 soldiers and horses, this city is simply impossible to capture.

What Li Pu didn't know was that Gongsun Zan fell into a coma after returning to Jixian. As a guest living here, although Liu Bei was authorized by Gongsun Zan to entrust him, what could he do?

Liu Bei can't even command all of Gongsun Zan's troops now, let alone Liu Yu's troops.

Once two armies that cannot cooperate are thrown on the battlefield, the effect will be less than one plus one.

In addition, Liu Yu was originally at odds with Gongsun Zan, and their subordinates all knew it. But now that Liu Yu is dead, you want them to work hard to defend the city?

Liu Bei didn't even dare to think about the consequences if a mutiny broke out.

Moreover, the situation was urgent now. Gongsun Zan's men went up to the city wall in a daze, and there was no time to mobilize Liu Yu's men.

Liu Bei had no choice but to quietly arrange for the mobilization of personnel and prepare equipment to defend the city.

But the good news is that Pan Feng's army outside the city is in an emergency situation and there must be no siege equipment.

Liu Bei arranged for eight thousand men and horses on each of the four city walls, and the remaining eight thousand men and horses served as a reserve. If there was an emergency on any city wall, support would be sent there.

When everything was ready, the army all walked up to the city wall. Some of the soldiers shook the knives in their hands and swallowed.

The army of destroyers gathered outside the city and stared at the people on the wall of Jixian City with eager eyes.

Liu Bei couldn't help but have a headache after seeing these soldiers. Just by looking at their military appearance, he could tell that these soldiers were real warriors.

Each of them is big and round, and exudes a dangerous aura, which is something only a master of hundreds of battles can possess.

This city defense battle looks dangerous...

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan's generals stood on the city wall and faced off against the French army until the sun went down.

The Defali Legion returned to their temporary camp. After a day of fighting, everyone was tired and hungry.

When preparing to light a fire for cooking, a military order suddenly came that no one was allowed to eat until Yin Shi (3 to 5 o'clock in the middle of the night).

Although everyone didn't understand why, they silently obeyed Li Pu's military order after learning it was.

It was not pleasant to go to bed hungry, but I still fell asleep until Yinshi heard the rustling sounds in the camp. When he woke up, he found that everyone had woken up and was eating the last rations.

"You're not bad. You're quite alert. Hurry up and finish your rations and put on your armor." A captain who was waking up the man next door said with a smile.

After everyone was ready, under the leadership of Zhang He, everyone slowly reached the bottom of the city.

Zhang He stood at the forefront of the army and stared at a corner of the city wall carefully.

At this time, everyone saw a dark figure standing on the city wall in that corner. This man actually climbed up the city wall several feet high with a rope.

Although someone seemed to have discovered it on the city wall, it was of no use. This person had already climbed onto the city wall.

The moment this man stood on the city wall, his blood-red cloak fully unfolded, it was then that everyone realized that this man was actually General Pan.

Yes, this person is Li Pu. In this era, people were often malnourished and night blindness was very common.

Therefore, late-night sneak attacks have always been a very useful tactic. Although there are countless torches on the city walls of Jixian, it is still a bit difficult to defend against one person.

After all, no one would attack the city alone, but this person appeared today.

The moment Li Pu climbed onto the city wall, not only the soldiers outside the city recognized Li Pu, but the soldiers guarding the city also recognized Li Pu.

"It's Pan Feng! Hurry!"

"Pan Feng has built the city wall!"

"Kick him off!"

Countless soldiers rushed towards Li Pu. Li Pu laughed and jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the soldiers.

"Attack the city!" Zhang He saw this and quickly ordered his soldiers to attack the city.

A large tree as thick as two people could hold it was turned into a siege vehicle and pushed forward by more than forty soldiers from the Pali Legion.

If this siege vehicle were launched during the day, it would be overwhelmed and destroyed by countless attacks immediately. But now that the city wall is in chaos and Li Pu is killing everyone, the pressure will be reduced a lot when the siege vehicle appears.

Even so, there were countless attacks coming towards the siege vehicle. When they were in the distance, the rockets came like raindrops. Xin Hao was blocked by the shields on both sides. When they were pushed to the gate of the city, rolling logs and rocks attacked together.

Several soldiers began to push the battering ram on the car without saying a word. Even if someone was hit by a rolling log, someone would take his place and continue his work. Then they pushed the battering ram, and the battering ram hit them one after another.

At the city gate, the sound reached the city.

"What's going on!" Liu Bei, wearing armor, hurried to the city wall where the accident occurred.

Liu Bei did not dare to let down his guard from morning until night when Li Pu and others disbanded the team and went back to sleep. It was not until late at night that they prepared to go down to the city wall and take a nap.

Unexpectedly, something happened after just a short while. Liu Bei hurried to the city wall, but the city wall was already narrow. The soldiers who were coming up to support were pressed against the soldiers who were escaping, making it difficult to move forward.

"Brother!" Guan Yu looked back at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also understood what Guan Yu meant and nodded.

"If you dare to escape from the battlefield, behead them all!" Guan Yu drew out the sword from his waist and beheaded a soldier who was about to escape with one sword stroke.

Everyone was shocked, and the fleeing soldiers could only turn back and rush up the city wall.

When Guan Yu climbed onto the city wall, he realized why these soldiers were running away. The blue bricks on the city wall seemed to have been painted with blood, and dark red blood stains were everywhere.

Before Guan Yu went up to the city wall, he thought that Pan Feng had touched many people in the dark, but he didn't expect that only Pan Feng had touched the city wall.

The city gate was still making loud noises. If you wanted to destroy the siege vehicles, you could only direct the soldiers to attack the siege vehicles.

But this side of the city wall, especially the area above the city gate, was firmly occupied by Li Pu. No one could destroy the siege engines with rolling logs and rocks while he was still alive.
