Chapter 554 Reduction of Troops

Zhang Liao was fighting locally. He was originally from Yanmen County in Bingzhou. He was very familiar with the topography of Bingzhou, so he led his infantry and cavalry to fight thousands of miles with ease.

Wen Chou was unwilling to give in, so he led his cavalry to pursue Zhang Liao, but he always missed Zhang Liao's tail by a hair.

"drive!"

More than a thousand Zhang Liao's troops galloped on the road at extremely fast speeds, as if they were being chased by some beast behind them.

"What should we do? General." The deputy general said anxiously: "If this continues, it won't be long before our army will be overtaken by the Jizhou Army's cavalry."

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhang Liao roared loudly, pointed the Huanglonggou sickle in his hand to the opposite side, turned around and said to his subordinates: "Everyone, listen up, there is a valley seven or eight miles ahead. We will go inside to hide for the time being, and then come out after the Jizhou army has left!"

"promise!"

More than a thousand cavalry followed Zhang Liao closely and ran forward for seven or eight miles. Sure enough, a valley appeared in front of them. The more than a thousand cavalry looked overjoyed and hurried into the valley, carrying rocks to block the entrance of the valley. .

Not long after, smoke and dust billowed up in the distance, and two thousand cavalrymen came galloping under a banner with written characters. Under the general's banner, a heavy-backed cavalryman was none other than Wen Chou.

"Huh? Where are the enemy troops?"

Wen Chou looked around, but Zhang Liaojun seemed to have wings and flew away.

"Damn it, where is Zhang Liao?"

"Zhang Liao!"

Wen Chou returned without success, but Zhang Liao came out again and continued to attack various strongholds occupied by the Jizhou Army. Although Zhang Liao only made a small fuss, it disturbed the Jizhou Army's peace.

Jushou had no choice but to issue an order to find Wen Chou back.

"Supervisory Army!"

Jushou was in the tent when Wen Chou suddenly opened the curtain door dissatisfied and asked.

Jushou didn't squint his eyes and said calmly: "General Wen, have you found any trace of Zhang Liao?"

"No, but I just need to give you some more time."

"Okay." Jushou stood up: "That Zhang Liao is just a moss disease. At most, he can only sneak attack on some small counties, but he does not dare to attack our Jizhou Army camp."

Wen Chou snorted: "This is natural. We have tens of thousands of soldiers in the Jizhou Army Camp. How dare a rat like Zhang Liao come to provoke us?"

"That's right!" Jushou said seriously: "In this case, our army does not need to worry at all. We only need to shrink the front and order the garrison in each county to move closer to Jinyang City, and then attack Jinyang City with all our strength. As long as we capture Jinyang!"

Jushou's five fingers formed into a fist and squeezed together hard.

"As long as Jinyang is captured, the entire Bingzhou will be in the hands of our army, and it will be easy to wipe out Zhang Liao by then!"

Although Wen Chou was a little dissatisfied, he still said: "Well, in that case, let's take Jinyang City first and talk about other things later!"

Zhang Liao was so cunning that Jushou gave up on dealing with Zhang Liao. Instead, he summoned soldiers and horses from various counties outside Jinyang City, and then launched a real fierce attack on Jinyang City.

"kill!"

Drums were rumbling outside the city and trumpets were blasting fiercely. Under the orders of the drums and trumpets, tens of thousands of Jizhou troops set up ladders and launched a fierce attack on Jinyang City.

"Archers, suppress the defenders in the city!"

Whoosh whoosh!

The arrow rain was like locusts, thousands of arrows shot out, and the overwhelming shadow enveloped the wall. As long as the Bingzhou army dared to show its head, it was immediately shot into a sieve by the dense rain of arrows.

"Don't show your head, hide under the female wall, wait until the enemy troops climb to the top of the city, then go out, you know?"

"Archer, don't stand still, fight back!"

Lu Bu's face was full of anger and he held Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly.

It’s so damn frustrating. The majestic flying general can only stand motionless under the enemy's arrows. Damn it.

Thousands of archers from the Jizhou Army kept suppressing the city with fire. The Bingzhou Army defending the city did not dare to raise their heads at all. Only the archers fought back from time to time.

Jushou sat on horseback, holding a long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Climb the city and attack fiercely!"

The first wave of troops who had been prepared to climb the city immediately picked up the ladders and rushed forward one by one. A group of people erected the ladders together to seize the city head, and then rushed up in groups.

"The enemy has entered the city!"

As the siege troops of the Jizhou Army gradually ascended to the top of the city, the firepower of the Jizhou Army's archers also gradually weakened. After all, they could not accidentally injure their comrades.

When Lu Bu heard this cry, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He was the first to stand up with his head held high, looked back and shouted angrily: "Attack the whole army and drive the damn Jizhou army down."

"Drive the Jizhou army down!"

"Defend Jinyang City to the death!"

Lu Bu was the first to step forward and rushed out of the female wall holding a square-shaped halberd.

When Jushou saw Lu Bu rushing out, he sneered.

"That enemy general is Lu Bu!" Jushou shouted: "The archers aimed at Lu Bu and fired volleys!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows were fired. After hearing Jushou's order, the archers immediately opened their bows and aimed their arrows at Lu Bu. The arrows flew out like springs, all aimed at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu snorted softly, calmly, and rounded the square-shaped halberd in his hand. He only heard a jingling sound, and the arrows shot at Lu Bu were shot out one after another, even if they occasionally passed through The arrow from Fang Tian's painted halberd hit Lu Bu, but was blocked by the beast-faced cloud-swallowing armor.

Lu Bu is the commander-in-chief of the Bingzhou Army. If Lu Bu is shot and killed, Jinyang City will naturally be destroyed. Unfortunately, Lu Bu was so brave that Ju Shou's plan came to nothing.

"Little Lu Bu, do you recognize Wen Chou, the general under Mr. Yuan's command?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout on the top of the city. Lu Bu looked intently and saw a fierce general climbing up the city. He was eight feet tall, with a face like a crab shell, and he was Wen Chou.

"Ha, I don't know him, but the Yan Liang who was injured by my general a few days ago sounds very similar to you." Lu Bu sneered.

Hearing this, Wen Chou was furious: "Yan Liang is my sworn brother, you are so brave, look at the gun!"

Sa!

Wen Chou took a step forward and fired the steel gun in his hand with anger. He saw a shadow of the gun dancing like a silver snake, killing Lu Bu like lightning.

"Humph, that's all!"

Fang Tian Hua Ji easily parried Wen Chou's shot. Lu Bu chuckled and said disdainfully.

"Damn it, damn it!"

In anger, Wen Chou actually doubled his strength and fired out several spear flowers from the steel spear in his hand, covering all the key points on Lu Bu's body. When Lu Bu saw this, a look of appreciation appeared on his face.

"Well done!"

Wen Chou's strength actually increased under his anger, but Lu Bu still easily resisted. From this point of view, Lu Bu's bravery indeed far exceeded Wen Chou's.

"Huh huh." Wen Chou was panting, but Lu Bu was still full of energy and his eyes were shining.
