    ?

    From noon to evening, for nearly three hours, the Beacon Cavalry launched a fierce offensive against the southwest gate with all their strength.

    As the catapults continued to launch, black smoke was already rising near the city wall, several walls began to twist, and the ladders and rope hooks were also perseveringly going up.  But what annoyed General Yuan Jun was that the city gate was clearly in front of him, and it was clearly beginning to fall apart, but he just couldn't get it down.

    Yuan Fu knew very well that most of the elite of the Wei army were trapped at Pingxiang Pass. Even if Ji Changchuan had arranged soldiers and horses to defend the city in advance, the number of tiger and leopard cavalry should be very limited. With the cavalry in his hands, he was 80% sure that he would be able to win.

    However, the report of the battle situation in the afternoon made him feel that the situation was not as optimistic as he had imagined, and he was facing a tough bone.

    "General, the army is advancing slowly, and it is still a hundred feet outside the city!"

    "General, the enemy's momentum is fierce. General Wen Shen has lost and has been wounded"

    Yuan Fu tightened his grip on the reins, "If he can't do it, let the lieutenant take over!"

    The sitting horse neighed uneasily, and he asked coldly, "Who is the general guarding the city? Is it the boy surnamed Yu?"

    The spies were also taken aback when asked, "Subordinates, I don't know, this is an unfamiliar face."

    "A fresh face?"

    He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the tower shrouded in thick smoke, and felt vigilant against the black horse that suddenly came out.

    Things got tricky.

    Although Yuan Jun's progress was hindered, he did not intend to give up at all. He was biting the gate of the city like giant pincers, resisting desperately inside the city, attacking bravely outside the city, and the battle was raging all night.

    This is a crucial night.

    The enemy army didn't sleep, so Xiang Huan and the tiger and leopard cavalry naturally couldn't sleep either.

    The crossbowman under the city will shoot a wave of arrows into the city every short period of time. He must always be tense and command the shield soldiers to defend.

    ?The beacon fire in the long night is the light of troubled times, burning the valley gorgeously.

    In just less than a day's work, more than half of the 20,000 tigers and leopards have gone, the corpses of the city tower are piled up so hard to get down, and the mountain of corpses below the city is already half as high as a person.

    The moonlight and firelight shone on their young faces, which were so pale that there was no trace of life.

    The shield soldiers guarding the city each had a huge water bag hanging from their waists, and whenever they felt a little slack in spirit, they would pour water down their heads.  The biting cold of winter can wake people up almost instantly.

    Xiang Huan also learned to do it. The cold water flowed down his neck, which made his hands and feet tremble slightly, but it also gradually calmed down his impetuous mood.

    "General!" A disgraced soldier ran up the city wall, "General Yu sent 2,000 people to support him!"

    "Got it." He breathed a sigh of relief and regained his confidence.  However, before he had time to order troops, at this moment, the defenders who had been keeping a close eye on the movement of the beacon cavalry suddenly lit up and shouted at him: "The enemy has withdrawn!"

    "General, the enemy has withdrawn!"

    Xiang Huan was a little surprised, Yuan Fu in his impression was definitely not someone who would give up so easily, he hurried to the side of the stone railing.

    The dots of torches under the city illuminate the road ahead, and a large number of cavalry began to gather to the rear one by one.

    What's the meaning?  Could it be that Yuan Fu really doesn't intend to attack anymore?

    But soon he realized that something was wrong, because there were still a group of Beacon Cavalry left under the city, not too many and not too many, and they happened to be stuck there.

    Xiang Huan pondered for a while, "It's not very good, he must be attacking all six."

    When the moon on the first day was sinking to the west, Yuan Fu seemed to have finally realized that too much unnecessary combat power was wasted in breaking the army gate. He began to order the cavalry to be withdrawn, and instead changed tactics, launching an attack on Qinglong six gates at the same time.  .

    The flames of war ignited in all directions, and a more tragic siege battle began.

    According to the law of war, there are ten rules to encircle. This kind of encirclement and annihilation seems to be more suitable for the tactics adopted when there are more troops. However, Yuan Fu's troops are not many, and they are still less than the Wei army.  Puzzled.

    The sky was already bright, and Xiang Huan once again galloped his horse to the city to fight. The general protecting his left wing asked, "General, Bandit Yuan can't break down the Southwest Gate. Do you want to break the jar?"

    What came was the generation of famous generals who made three arrows to Chang'an back then and made Ji Changchuan look at him with admiration. It is still possible for ordinary people to break the jar. Can he, Yuan Fu, use common sense to speculate?

    Xiang Huan shot away the cavalry on horseback, and took the time to answer: "You have read military books, didn't Marquis Wu An have read it? How could he not understand what you know?"

    But the cavalry left by Yuan Fu seems to bePassed by the crowd and shouted: "Come three hundred men who dare to die, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"

    The moment he raised the gun in his hand, it was as if the starlight shining in the dark night sky could gather all the confused steps to his side.

    Yuan Fu, who raised his sword and fought in the Wei army, vaguely felt the enemy's aura suddenly changed. Those complicated weapons that fell on his beacon horse seemed to have life suddenly, and there was a force that should not be underestimated in an instant.

    The armies of both sides in the battlefield are still fighting hard, and the fierce situation makes people have no time to care about day and night.

    The screams and roars intertwined into a purgatory on earth.

    Away from countless moving figures, Yuan Fu saw a bloody face not far away.

    The boy's eyes were as fierce as a falcon's. He was cold and arrogant, and it was like a cluster of eternal fire burning inside.

    The warrior who was over forty narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, and he suddenly remembered the first time he saw these eyes. At that time, in the hunting ground in the western suburbs, in front of the martial arts stage, the young man's spear was like snow, and there was no one in his eyes.  looking straight at him.

    "Unexpectedly, it would be him" Yuan Fu said to himself.

    As if feeling something, the young general looked towards him on the horse. Away from the flames of battle and countless soldiers, those familiar black pupils seemed to pass through two years of time and met him again.

    The fire above and below the city was beeping, and after a whole day of fierce fighting, the cold moon sprinkled the land with a lingering brilliance.

    The Beacon Fire Cavalry and Tiger Leopard Cavalry also suffered heavy losses, but they also refused to fall.

    The war horses roared and raised their hooves, and the dust flew.

    "Duke Yuan!" The attendant ran up to him, wiping blood all over his face, "The casualties are more than half, do you want to call the armored cavalry stationed in Huailin to come to support?"

    In order to ensure safety, before rushing to the city wall, they left 10,000 heavy armored cavalry waiting for deployment in the locust forest in the southeast of the city, in case of emergency, and it was also the last bargaining chip.

    But unexpectedly, Yuan Fu shook his head.

    "We have lost the opportunity. The so-called one-bombing, then weakening, three-time exhaustion, a weak soldier, fighting again will only increase casualties."

    He sighed, "Forget it, if the consumption lasts, I'm afraid we won't be able to take down the city, and instead will call in Ji Changchuan's reinforcements."

    "Where there is life, there is hope."

    The entourage was stunned for a moment, and answered with clasped fists: "Yes."

    Yuan Fu turned his horse's head and looked back coldly.

    "I didn't expect that my journey to the north would stop outside this city. What a miscalculation."

    Sensing the retreating cavalry, Xiang Huan reined in his horse and stopped on the spot, his sharp star eyes almost saw the first army from the main army at a glance.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
