Chapter 892: Massive Attack on the City

"Do you think it's unnecessary?" Ji Bao was furious. He grabbed Li Lin's lapel and dragged him to the gate of the city wall. He pointed at Anton's army outside the city and said, "Keep your eyes open. Because of your negligence, The Anton Army has discovered the general's arrangement, and they are going to fight."

When Li Lin looked outside in the direction of the Anton Army with wide eyes, he found that the Anton Army, which he thought would retreat due to the loss of its troops, not only did not retreat, but instead gathered troops again to prepare for another attack.

Ji Bao pulled Li Lin back and said: "You, immediately lead the guards behind to assist. If you cannot defend Anfeng City and you do not die in the battle, then think carefully about how to face His Majesty and the General." Thunder fire?"

Ji Bao's words made Li Lin wake up instantly. He immediately said: "General, don't worry, General Wei will fully cooperate and will never miss the general's affairs." As he said that, he turned towards the several guards under him. The general roared: "You, you, you, the three of you will immediately lead your troops and horses to prepare the defense materials under the city, ready to support the city at any time."

While watching the three subordinates leading their men down to the city to prepare supplies, he then turned to watch the other generals prepare other supplies and prepare to support the battle at the top of the city. Then he ordered the injured soldiers to throw all the enemy corpses at the top of the city into the city, and then carried the corpses of his own soldiers to the bottom of the city, clearing out the positions at the top of the city.

Seeing that Li Lin finally looked like a general, Ji Bao finally felt relieved. It seemed that the county captain was not incompetent. He just experienced too few battles and could not cope with it better. Seeing this situation , Ji Bao could finally put all his thoughts on defending the city.

As expected by Ji Bao, Huang Zhong's attack came quickly, and was far stronger than the previous attack. Fortunately, they faced only the coalition forces mainly composed of the Yuzhou Army War Camp, and not the coalition forces they faced in Luoyang back then. The battle barracks of the Anton Army encountered. After inflicting nearly 300 city guard casualties, Ji Bao once again repulsed Huang Zhong's attack, while the Andong Army and Yuzhou Army left as many as a thousand corpses at the top of the city and below the city.

However, the retreating coalition forces did not organize their troops and horses again to prepare for another round of attack just because it was getting dark.

Just when Huang Zhong was preparing to fight at night, Zhang He's army at the foot of Yulou City, more than 40 miles away, also made preparations for a night battle. After receiving Huangfu Chaobo's military order, Zhang He immediately understood that the two military advisors were preparing for a night battle. Although he has not yet thought about how to arrange the subsequent layout, there are already some thoughts in his mind.

Therefore, after receiving the order, Zhang He did not hesitate to devote his army to launch a fierce attack on Yulou County. Sure enough, as expected, the fierce attack of the army immediately attracted the Tibetan soldiers from the city.

The first round of the attack failed as expected, and the number of troops lost was more than the sum of the previous rounds of attacks today. However, it allowed Zhang He to basically confirm the strength of the city.

After nightfall, Zhang He arranged another round of attacks. After maintaining it for nearly an hour, he was once again repulsed by Yuan Shu's army. Then, he pretended to be unwilling and led his troops to retreat, returning to the west of Liyunlou County. Within ten miles of the camp.

While fierce fighting was going on in Anfeng and Yulou counties, forty miles northeast of the Andong Army camp, Ji Ling was leading an army of 100,000 people slowly advancing towards the Andong Army camp.

Among the Chinese troops guarding the army, Ji Ling sat on his horse and said to Shu Zhao beside him: "The Anton army is in a hurry. Thousands of cavalry dare to stop my army of 100,000 people."

"If my guess is correct, the war in Anfeng and Yulou should be at its most intense." Shu Zhao sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity. If it could have been discovered one day or even half a day later, The next battle will be much easier."

Ji Ling nodded and said: "However, being able to hide until now is beyond my expectation. You must know that there is a great talent like Feng Chu in Huangfu Chaobo's army. That one back then The strategy of accumulating sand to form a tower,

The successful rescue of Luoyang attracted the attention of the world. "

Shu Zhao nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "His Majesty also used this trick this time, and has just formed tens of thousands of city guards."

Ji Ling quite approves of the city guard force formed this time. Although it is not as good as the military barracks, it is still very powerful and is still several times better than the garrison guards in various counties. However, now was obviously not the time to discuss this. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Ji Ling said to his own soldiers: "Come here, give an order to General Lei in the van, telling him not to pay attention to these flies. The army will advance slowly and not to advance in a hurry. Beware of ambush."

After hearing this, the soldiers immediately took orders and headed towards the direction of the former general Lei Bo.

While Ji Ling led the army to advance slowly, Huangfu Chaobo and the others were also discussing and determining the final strategy. After more than an hour of discussion, the three finally decided on the final strategy. Afterwards, Huangfu Chaobo quickly sent the written orders to the commanders of the two troops.

It was not until the first watch in the evening that Huang Zhong's army returned to the camp smoothly. After a day of fierce fighting, Huang Zhong's army had lost nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses. Adding in the losses in the previous few days, the number of soldiers and horses lost so far had reached Eight thousand people.

After a night of silence, the Andong Army camp began to prepare for the upcoming battle early the next morning. Because Ji Ling's 100,000 troops were already close at hand, Huang Zhong's troops did not leave the camp to attack the city. Instead, they rested quietly in the camp, waiting for the war to come.

However, in Yulou County, dozens of miles away, it was a different scene. After a night of rest, Zhang He's troops did not immediately retreat back to the camp, but continued to attack Yulou County, and it was a more fierce attack. In the early morning, Zhang He invested half of his soldiers in the first round of attack. Fortunately, Yulou garrison commander Li Gui and county lieutenant Chen Xi were well prepared. After the two armies fought desperately, Zhang He's troops were finally driven off the city wall.

The first round of attack was vigorous, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted.

After the failure of the first round of attack, the subsequent rounds of attack failed to break through the defense of Yuan Shu's army, but Zhang He's troops suffered more and more losses.

When the troops were about to withdraw in the afternoon, according to Li Gui's visual estimation, the loss of Zhang He's army had reached 5,000 people. If the losses in the previous two days were added, the loss of Zhang He's 50,000 troops should have reached nearly 10,000. This result made Li Gui and other generals very happy. You know, the loss of the army in Yulou County was less than 4,000 people, and most of them were defenders of Yulou County. The loss of Shouchun City Guards was less than 1,000 people, and the loss of heavy infantry was less than 200 people.
