Chapter 39 Surrounding but Not Attacking

The yellow scarf thieves fled in all directions, running faster than when charging, and they all rushed towards the gate of the city. How could the tens of thousands of troops squeeze in at once? Many people were directly squeezed into the moat, and immediately shouted for help, but no one could control them, it would be good if they could enter the city by themselves.

Seeing this, Xu Zang was very excited, turned his head and said to Liu Ye: "Brother Liu, our army won the victory with one blow, why don't you take advantage of the situation and enter Jinan City, kill Pang Hun, seize the city, and wipe out the bandit army in Jinan?"

Liu Ye just smiled when he heard this, raised the back of his hand to wipe the blood splattered on his face, and shook his head.

These 3,000 people are Liu Ye's foundation. If Licheng is forcibly attacked, the losses will be heavy. At that time, what will Liu Ye rely on to survive in Jinan?

In this battle, more than 1,500 enemies were killed, and 2,000 people were captured. However, there are still more than 16,000 bandits in Licheng. In terms of military strength, it is eight times that of Liu Ye's, that is, more than 10,000 The pigs were lined up for them to kill, and they couldn't kill them all in one morning.

"Set up camp, today we will take root here in Jinan City, and we will fight one at a time."

After the victory of the Licheng army, two hundred people were assigned to tie a group of captives with ropes and send them back to Licheng, and then they stationed directly outside the city.

And although Pang Hun still has more than 16,000 people, but this time he couldn't survive in the city, and he didn't know what to think, so he sent out sentries to ride into other counties, and asked other counties to send troops forward immediately Come to rescue Nancheng!

Pang Hun is the Yellow Turban Marshal of the Jinan Kingdom, how could the many young marshals under his command dare not listen? They sent troops from the city one after another, and gathered an army of 5,000 people to rush to the Jinan Kingdom.

And Liu Ye had already sent people to inquire about the movement of this bandit army in advance, so he sent someone to set up an ambush halfway, and when the bandit army arrived, he immediately surrounded and attacked it from all sides. Twenty thousand people were defeated by the two thousand Licheng army. Let alone five thousand people. After more than 2,000 of these five thousand people died on the spot, more than a thousand more were captured, and the rest fled back to their respective cities in a panic, and never dared to leave the city again.

After Pang Hun learned the news of the defeat of the reinforcements through the routs who fled to Jinan City, his face turned pale, and he refused to go out desperately.

"No, no, no, Liu Ye is Peng Yue's reincarnation, and Ying Bu is reincarnated, how can a certain mortal be invincible?"

With the prestige of a great victory, Liu Ye suppressed more than 10,000 enemy troops with a mere 2,000 people and did not dare to leave the city. The news quickly spread throughout the counties of Qingzhou. The officers and soldiers are celebrated by everyone.

Linzi City Governor's Mansion.

"What?"

Gong Jing shot the case, and at this moment, there was nothing left of his usual self-proclaimed elegant demeanor, his face was full of red from excitement.

Gong Jing stood up slowly, walked around the hall, his excitement became more and more intense.

"Hehe, this guy Zhou Zhao didn't believe me when he told me that Licheng was alone and guarded a certain army, but now I don't think that Liu Yuqing really has faith and courage."

Liu Ye attacked the rebel army with captives in the city of Jinan, and then set up an ambush to win. With a mere 2,000 soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of rebels dare not go out of the city to fight. His bravery has long spread throughout the counties of Qingzhou. , already had the idea of ​​mobilizing Liu Ye to help in the battle.

Thinking of this, Gong Jing wrote a long book on the desk, and then said loudly: "Come here, pass on the whistle."

During the night, the southern city gate of Linzi suddenly opened, and four or five sentry cavalry broke out, while dozens of cavalry rushed out from the barracks of the Yellow Turban Bandits to intercept them. break out.

After four or five riders left the city, they went in different directions. The dozens of riders in the Yellow Turban bandit immediately surrounded them, killed two on the spot, and killed two more after chasing for a while, but finally let one go. The reconciled Yellow Turban cavalry wanted to catch up, but they were stopped.

"Stop chasing them! Search these people and bring them back to Shuai Qu."

After searching for a while, four letters were found from four cavalry soldiers in Linzi city, and the yellow scarf thieves rode their horses to the commander's tent in the camp.

"oh?"

Xu He gently unfolded a letter, looked at it twice, and couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, Pang Hun's heart is higher than the sky, but he was trapped in Jinan City by Liu Yuqing with two thousand soldiers and horses. He couldn't get out of the siege, and he wanted to compete with someone for the commander of Qingzhou Qu?"

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the handsome tent, many yellow scarf handsomes are basically gangsters who have followed Xu He and robbed the surroundings for many years. They are not afraid of death when fighting, and usually look down on Zhou Jun and others Well, that Pang Hun is just a handsome under Zhou Jun's tent, what can he do?

But Xu He still frowned: "However, Liu Yuqing has heard about it before. He is a famous ranger in Jinan.

"Hmph! Why should Qu Shuai worry too much, Pang Hun is just a piece of trash, Liu Yuqing will certainly be able to beat him, if he encounters us, he will be beaten to death."

"Yes, Gong Jing is the governor of Qingzhou. Tens of thousands of troops are trapped in the city by everyone and dare not come out. What can Liu Ye do?"

"If Liu Yuqing comes, let him know how handsome Qu is!"

Seeing that all the generals under the tent were brave, Xu He suddenly laughed.

"Okay, it's fine if Liu Yuqing doesn't come, if he comes, let him accompany Gong Jing on the road!"

The Qingzhou cavalry pawn who managed to escape from the siege of the bandit army under the cover of his comrades traveled day and night, and only stopped to let the horse rest for a while when he felt that his horsepower was not enough, and then continued to mount his horse and run wildly. He ran into the country of Jinan and galloped towards the city of Jinan on horseback.

The Qingzhou cavalrymen only felt the wind blowing in their ears, and the scenery around them could not help retreating backwards. The tall outline of Jinan City faintly appeared in their eyes. Immediately, the four hooves accelerated, and the speed was faster by a line.

At this moment, a tripping rope suddenly stretched out, and the galloping horse couldn't stop, and immediately fell to its front hooves and flew out directly, and the pawn was also thrown to the ground.

More than ten soldiers rushed out from both sides of the road, pointing their swords and guns at him.

"Who is it? Is it the Yellow Turban Bandit? They took it down."

"Don't, don't, brothers, a certain is the defender of Linzi City. He was ordered by the governor Gong Shijun to deliver a letter to Liu Yuqing!" The letter in his arms.

A low-ranking officer of the Licheng Army hurried out and grabbed the letter.

"Quick, give it to the general!"
