Chapter 732

Liu Zhang and his officials knew in their hearts that Zitong, Fucheng and Mianzhu Pass were basically empty cities, with only thousands of troops stationed at each gate, and it was very difficult to resist the attack of Xu Huang's army. In addition, Zhang Ren, who is very familiar with the geographical location of Yizhou, was even more unfair.

Wang Lei said: "Lord, let's immediately mobilize troops from Jiangzhou to Chengdu to defend. At that time, attack Guo Huai's army inside and outside the city, and have the hope of annihilation of Guo Huai's army outside the city. As long as the Guo Huai army outside the city is eliminated, we will find a way to deal with Xu Huang's army."

Wang Lei's words make sense, but Jiangzhou is so far away from here, how could it be possible to arrive in a short time? It is estimated that before the troops in Lianjiangzhou arrived, Chengdu city was broken; and there was also Guo Huai's army eyeing it!

After hearing this, Wu Yi shook his head and said, "This is just our idea. But does Guo Huai army outside the city allow Jiangzhou troops to return to Chengdu? And Xu Huang's army is even more fierce. It is estimated that before the troops in Jiangzhou arrived, Xu Huang's army came back and killed to Chengdu first."

Liu Zhang said: "General Wu, can the troops in our city really defeat Guo Huai's army outside the city?"

Wu Yi was depressed after hearing this. Can this infantry fight against the cavalry? Besides, it was the Flying Bear Cavalry under Lu Ning, who was a battle-making army and had been through the battlefield for a long time. In the past, those fronts were not made by savages, but by using a sabre.

Wu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, we don't have cavalry. This will basically have no chance of winning against cavalry. Even if we have the advantage of military strength, we have little chance of winning. Of course, the specific situation can only be judged by fighting. As for the combat power of Guo Huai's army, it is hard to explain."

Zhang Song said: "Lord, if you want to know, wouldn't it be clear if you let General Wu lead his troops out of the city to fight once? Only when we know the combat power of Guo Huai's army can we make the lord and generals make correct judgments. What is the purpose of just talking about here!"

Zhang Song's purpose was of course to let Wu Yi send troops to fight, and after Guo Huai's army beat him hard, Jiang Gan later said that the surrender would have the effect of threatening and inducing, and could also make those officials who had originally opposed surrender shut their mouths.

Wu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "But there are only 50,000 soldiers in our city. If we fail to fight out of the city, we will lose our troops and lose our generals. At that time, the troops in the city will be even more tight. What should we do if we defend the city?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhang said, "General Wu, what do you mean?"

Wu Yi smiled and said, "Lord, I think whether to go out of the city to fight, I have to obey my lord's actions. As long as the main order is given, I will obey unconditionally."

Huang Quan said: "Since this is the case, we have never seen the combat power of Guo Huaijun, and it is difficult to judge. Why not go to the city wall together to see how Guo Huaijun's attack ability is?"

Despicable and shameless, isn’t this tempting Liu Zhang to watch the battle? The purpose is to scare Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was originally a small person, how could he withstand the scare!

Wang Lei originally wanted to object, but after hearing this, he felt that it was useless to figure out Guo Huai’s combat power first. Only by knowing his own opponent would he have a chance of winning. It would be useless to keep talking empty talk.

Wang Lei said: "Then please move the lord to the city wall to inspect it."

Zhang Song, Huang Quan and Meng Da looked at each other and were secretly happy. They absolutely believed that the strength of Guo Huai army was extremely powerful; can the iron army of the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Xiliang Iron Cavalry have poor combat power?

After hearing this, Liu Zhang was not willing to refuse, so he led his civil and military officials to the city wall. At this time, the general responsible for guarding the city was Li Yan. When he saw Liu Zhang arrive, he ran from afar and reported: "Lord, this is dangerous, you can't go up to the city wall."

Liu Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Fang Zheng, it doesn't matter, I just take a look."

Although Li Yan didn't want Liu Zhang to go up to the city wall to watch and was worried about the danger, Liu Zhang insisted on going up to the city wall, and he had no choice. Besides, his boss Wu Yi was there, so Wu Yi must have agreed, otherwise how could Liu Zhang come!

Li Yan led the way, and Liu Zhang and his civil and military officials climbed the city wall together; at this time, Gao Lan led 5,000 flying bear cavalry under the city wall, showing off his power, and from time to time, let his soldiers use their crossbows in their hands to shoot indiscriminately on the city wall.

Guo Huai, a few miles away, saw a wave of well-dressed people rushing out of the city wall from his glasses. He immediately handed the glasses in his hands to Fa Zheng beside him and said, "Xiaozhi, look at what people are on the city wall at this time? It seems that they are all high-ranking officials?"

Fa Zheng took the glasses and smiled as soon as he glanced at them: "Boji, it was Liu Zhang who led his officials to come up to the city wall. He notified General Gao to shoot fiercely on the city wall, which would make Liu Zhang afraid and scare Liu Zhang."

After hearing this, Guo Huai immediately asked the messengers around him to swear a horn. After hearing the horn of attack, Gao Lan immediately ordered: "Fire!"

With Gao Lan's order, Chiu! Chiu! Chiu! More than ten catapults and more than twenty crossbows opened fire on the city wall at the same time. For a moment, hundreds of thick crossbow arrows rushed towards the city wall like lightning, and the buzzing scream immediately sounded.

The more than ten catapults and twenty catapults brought by Guo Huai's army were carried by war horses. These catapults and crossbows were all detachable. They were disassembled and packed when marching, and then assembled when they arrived at the destination. Since the road to Xichuan was difficult to walk, they could not bring more heavy weapons and equipment.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

At the same time, 5,000 Iron Cavalry soldiers of the Flying Bear Army also used their crossbows to pull the crossbow machine on the city wall. Tens of thousands of arrows hit the city wall like raindrops, and for a moment, the dark arrows above the city wall fell down, making the sunlight much darker.

Liu Zhang and his officials had never experienced such a formation. They saw countless black spots in the sky flying quickly towards the city wall, especially the arrows fired on the crossbow trucks, making buzzing sounds in the air, which scared Liu Zhang and his officials to death. Many officials looked pale and a few even pissed their pants.

Li Yan shouted: "Lord, hide quickly! The arrow is coming!"

Liu Zhang grew up in a honeypot and rarely experienced the wind and sun. He had seen such a bloody scene. Facing the raindrop-like arrows, Liu Zhang was suddenly frightened and stood still as if he was stunned.

After Li Yan shouted, he saw that Liu Zhang was not moving, so he couldn't care about so much. He immediately flew towards Liu Zhang and threw Liu Zhang directly into the ground. When he fell down, countless arrows flew past his ears, and the buzzing sounds kept ringing.

After a while, Li Yan stood up and found an arrow on his arm, and Liu Zhang was not injured, but he was just in a mess.

Xu Jing scolded: "Li Fangzheng, what are you doing? How can you attack the lord?"

After hearing this, Yang Yan deliberately glared at Xu Jing fiercely, without explaining, and directly ignored him.

Wu Yi said: "Mr. Xu, General Li will be injured by arrows in order to save his lord."
