From Zigui to Yiling, it was less than two hundred miles, and Guan Yu walked with five thousand swordsmen for five days!
As a result, after a series of encampments and the first official attack on the city, six full days had passed.
According to the intelligence, there are currently more than 8,000 defenders in Yiling. Including the servants of the big families in the city and Qing Zhuang who has been recruited to go up to the city, the total number is about 13,000.
Guan Yu just glanced at this information and threw it aside. It was useless!
Guan Yu, who was standing on a horse with a helmet and armor on his head, did not stand in front of the formation this time. Instead, he called Guan Ping on the side: "I promise you three thousand soldiers and horses, and you will command the siege this time."
"My subordinates take orders!" A trace of joy flashed across Guan Ping's face and then quickly disappeared. Although this was not the first time he led troops independently, it was the first time he showed it in front of his father. For a moment, he was filled with joy.
A bit nervous.
Watching Guan Ping go to order troops, Zhou Cang, who was standing behind Guan Yu, wanted to ask if it was too few if only 3,000 men were given. His intuition told him that there was a scam, but Guan Ping was too excited and did not notice it.
Just arrived.
Guan Ping, who was in the same line as Guan Yu, also learned seventy points of similarity in commanding operations. The entire siege process was carried out in strict accordance with the drill, just like his father, he took the lead. The only difference should be this armor.
Originally, Guan Ping wanted to imitate his father and dress him in green, emerald green, but for some reason Wang Xuan stopped him. You are such a brat, and you are wearing green even though you are not even married!
Of course, Wang Xuan had no other intentions.
As a result, Wang Xuan was forced to order a set of bright silver armor, only the sword looked as green as ever.
The armors of ancient generals were different from ordinary people. They were particularly conspicuous. The purpose was to make people recognize them at a glance on the battlefield. The advantage was that their soldiers could find their backbone. The disadvantage... was of course attracting enemy troops.
Firepower.
However, those who are confident enough in their own force basically don't care about these things at all.
At this moment, Guan Ping, who rushed to the top of the city and massacred everyone, was like a bright light, attracting the attention of everyone in the enemy army. Although he had not broken through to the realm of releasing the Gang Qi, he could still use the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to make the tiger and tiger wind.
After boarding, they firmly guarded the frontier of the city to open up a safe space for the soldiers who would later board the city.
In just a short moment, this small section of the city wall became the focus of Cao Jun's defense. Groups of Cao Jun were driven forward by the supervising team. In such a large area, there was no room for the soldiers to retreat. The corpses around Guan Ping
They keep stacking up, blood is flowing everywhere, and there will be a splash of blood when you step down.
Under the suppression of Cao's soldiers' cloud energy, Guan Ping's sword still caused a bloody storm. Even though the cloud energy greatly narrowed the gap between ordinary soldiers and Guan Ping, each blow cost Guan Ping three to five times the normal amount of energy.
Only with strength can the normal effect be achieved. Fortunately, the school swordsman was elite enough and the speed from setting up the ladder to climbing the city was fast enough, and Guan Ping was not left surrounded by the enemy for too long.
When the school swordsmen climbed to the top of the city one by one and formed a battle formation with Guan Ping, Guan Ping suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. Even if there were only a few people, it was impossible to generate cloud energy to give him enough help, but even if it blocked the other two directions
No matter what attack comes, Guan Ping can deal with it with all his strength.
"Stop being so arrogant!" A defender general roared and shot towards Guan Ping's plane door. There was a loud 'dang' sound, and the person who came was shaken all over and his face turned pale, but he still resisted Guan Ping's attack in the end.
A full blow.
Guan Ping glanced at the guard with some surprise. This person obviously had not broken through to the realm of Qi training, but still with the help of a large amount of cloud energy, he withstood Guan Ping's blow in front of him.
After fighting for more than ten consecutive rounds, Guan Ping could clearly feel that this person was not his three-in-one enemy under normal circumstances, but at this moment, although he had no power to fight back, he was firmly holding him in place, preventing him from opening the door.
A bigger gap really annoyed him.
At the same time, Guan Ping also felt more and more emotional that his father was still awesome!
Before, Guan Yu rushed to the top of the city alone, and his energy exploded. With a few slashes, he cleared an area at the top of the city, directly opening a safe enough environment for the soldiers who followed up the city. Guan Ping didn't feel it when he looked down.
How difficult it is, but when things get tough, you realize that your dad will always be your dad!
Seeing that Guan Ping was blocked in place and the progress of the battle above the city was slow for a moment, Zhou Cang couldn't help but asked Guan Yu: "Junhou, please go and help the young master."
"No need!" Guan Yu didn't look back, he just raised his hand to block it. This was a rare training opportunity. What's more, Guan Yu didn't expect Guan Ping to really capture the city. It was really like a siege battle with the advantage of the city wall.
Is it easy?
The enemy army occupies a favorable position against the clouds. Not only do they have to climb the city wall, which makes it difficult to transport troops, but they also have to attack from behind. At the same time, their combat power is reduced by nearly half due to the suppression of the clouds. Under various unfavorable circumstances, it is very difficult to attack the city and it is difficult to use it.
Words to describe.
The most fundamental reason why Liu Beijun can achieve such exaggerated siege results every time is not that his soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped. At least, these reasons can only reduce the difficulty of siege a little bit. The real key lies in
Every time, a general with a strong energy level charges into the battle, attracting enough firepower to open a large enough gap.
And when the enemy also has high-end military force, like when Xiahou Dun was able to contain Dian Wei before, then the siege battle can really only be a bit of a grind.
At this time, it is the normal state, and Guan Yu also wants to take this opportunity to train Guan Ping. Guan Ping has reached the peak of Gang Qi, and there is no shortage of various ways to break through. What is missing now is this kind of sufficient pressure. Naturally, Guan Yu
We will not let Zhou Cang and others interfere.
At this time, it was obvious that there was something wrong with his brain. Didn't you see that Liao Hua was just being a quiet and handsome man at this moment?
The battle lasted for a full hour, and in the end, they only occupied a small section of the city. After losing the initial momentum, it was obvious to the naked eye that there was no possibility of going further.
Guan Ping finally killed the general of Cao's army, and killed four of them in succession. But by the time of the fifth man, Guan Ping, who was obviously out of breath and exhausted, was already defending more than attacking.
Guan Yu, who saw all this from a distance, felt that it was almost the same and directly ordered, "Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Even if the siege failed, the Han army's retreat was still so orderly. Those waiting for the people to retreat from the city, those carrying the ladders, and those holding large shields to protect the two sides retreated step by step without releasing a rain of arrows on the city.
Opportunities to expand results.
"I will finally live up to my trust, please punish me!" As soon as he came back, Guan Ping knelt down on the ground to apologize.
"Know your shame and then be brave. Go down." Guan Yu was rarely as harsh as before, which made Guan Ping stunned.
