Chapter 226: Conquer Yingchuan in one day?

Yingchuan, connected to the Yingshui River in the east and the Xuanyuan Mountains in the west, is the barrier to the north of Yuzhou.

Since the news of Ye Feng's march south spread, Liu Bei ordered his trusted subordinate Chen Wu to fortify the city, clear the fields, and build a city wall to stop Ye Feng's steps.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

On the walls of Yingchuan city, flags covered the sky, and the atmosphere was thick with murderous intent.

Chen Wu was standing on the tower, looking far away. After a long while, he turned around and glanced at his trusted subordinates: "There have been many rumors in the city and the army these past two days. I'll tell you something here. As long as we can hold on for five days, even if the city is breached, we will have made great contributions. We won't have to lose our lives, and the lord will reward each of us with a thousand taels and ten beauties."

"But if anyone flees before this and betrays the lord, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Understand?"

The officers' eyes were full of fighting spirit. "We have been building the city wall all this time. Now that we have food in the city and the city walls are high, five days is not a problem."

"Even if it takes ten days, Ye Feng will not be able to break through Yingchuan, which is as strong as an iron barrel."

"This reward is too easy."

Chen Wu did not give the generals a head-on blow, nor did he explain Ye Feng's performance in the Battle of Hulao Pass, otherwise the morale would be
With a sigh, Chen Wuzhang patted the generals on the shoulders as if nothing had happened: "Scouts have reported that Ye Feng's vanguard army may arrive at noon today."

Before he could finish his words, a rapid horn sounded.

The generals looked into the distance and saw a black line appear on the distant horizon. Then, the sound of orderly footsteps approached rapidly, as if to crush the earth and shatter people's eardrums.

"Don't panic, don't be confused."

"Don't be stingy with archers, rolling logs, kerosene, and rolling stones. In one day, our chances of completing the mission will increase by 10%."

"Understand?"

The generals raised their weapons high and shouted: "We will live and die with Yingshui!"

"I swear to live and die with Yingshui!"

The deafening roar hovered above the city wall and did not dissipate for a long time.

Outside the city, at the forefront of the 30,000 vanguards, there was a man holding a Five Elements Breaking Formation Spear, stepping on a tiger, looking heroic and handsome. This man was naturally Ye Feng, who made all the princes in the world tremble in fear.

On his left and right sides, one person holds a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and the other holds a Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd. They are Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

Originally, both the vanguard generals Guan Yu and Zhao Yun wanted to fight for the throne, and they even had to compete with each other in martial arts.

In order not to affect internal unity, Ye Feng had to take action personally.

As soon as this decision was made, all the generals tried to dissuade it, saying that there was no point in using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

How could Chen Wu, who hadn't even mastered the hidden power, and his 20,000 defeated remnants in front of Hulao Pass, be worthy of Ye Feng's intervention?

But Ye Feng's words "Who can conquer Yingchuan in one day" silenced everyone.

As the city wall got closer, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were filled with questions: "My lord, the city wall has been built to a height of ten feet, and there are people standing on the wall. It seems that Chen Wu is determined to defend Yingchuan to the death."

"One day the city will be broken, I'm afraid"

Ye Feng raised his lips and said, "How come in two days, you still haven't figured out how I will break into the city?"

"It's not surprising that others can't figure it out, but you two should know it!"

When Ye Feng said this, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun felt even more embarrassed.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "This..."

Ye Feng did not continue to tease the two of them, his eyes were sharp: "In a quarter of an hour, we will attack Yingchuan. You two should be ready, and we will attack the city wall."

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were stunned, then suddenly realized.

They have personally experienced Ye Feng's art of escape many times. It is like the method of immortals and extremely mysterious. No matter how strict Chen Wu's defense is, if he appears directly on the city wall, how can he resist?
The two men slapped their foreheads and cursed themselves, but then there was a hint of worry in their eyes: "My lord, you are worth a lot of money, how can you stand under the dangerous wall?"

"Although you are invincible in the world, after all, swords and guns are silent. The world can have no one, but you, my lord." "I don't agree."

"By the way, doesn't Taoist Zuo, the commander of the Night Guard, also know the art of escaping armor? Why not let him join the army to attack cities and conquer territories? He will surely be invincible."

"Yes, he is just a scoundrel. He can definitely use his own advantages to help the lord."

In Jingxiang, Zuo Ci, who was on his way, suddenly sneezed and said to himself, "How could I catch a cold?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly and waved his hand: "I have an agreement with him, so it's hard to force him."

"But what's wrong with you two? Do you think those shrimp soldiers and crab generals on the city wall can pose a threat to me?"

"Even if you attack together, can you block my attack?"

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were stunned, but when they thought of the scene of the two of them teaming up to spar with Ye Feng, they smiled bitterly: "That being said, there has never been such a siege in the past thousand years. It's too easy to serve as a soldier under the lord."

Ye Feng raised the corner of his mouth: "When it's time to risk their lives, no one should be afraid or retreat, but when they don't need to risk their lives, I won't let them die in vain."

"Choose a hundred elite soldiers and let's go up to the Yingchuan city wall together."

"Here!!"

A quarter of an hour later, the 30,000-strong army was lined up in neat rows.

"woooooo"

As the charge horn sounded, tens of thousands of people charged directly towards the city wall without saying a word.

"bang bang bang"

The huge stones thrown by the catapults hit the city wall hard, and many unlucky soldiers were hit by the stones.

"Ah!" He screamed and turned into blood.

As soon as the catapults stopped attacking, countless soldiers pushed ladders and rushed towards the city wall.

The crash at the city gate roared like thunder.

Where had the defenders on the city wall ever seen such an all-out attack right from the start?

Even though they were prepared for a fierce battle, they were still caught off guard.

"Arrows, rolling stones!"

"Rolling log, quick, throw it down."

Various roars rang out on the city walls, and a brutal hand-to-hand fight began.

Soldiers from both sides fell under the city wall every minute and every second. Blood and corpses covered the land at the foot of the wall. The strong smell of blood, combined with the various parts of the corpses, made the place look like hell on earth from a distance.

On the city wall, after watching the battle for only a quarter of an hour, Chen Wu's eyes became more and more worried.

He didn't expect that Ye Feng's army was not only strong in cavalry, but also good at offensive and defensive battles.

Under an attack of this intensity, even if he was fully prepared, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to hold out for five days.

He even felt that he couldn't hold on for a day.

How to hold out for a longer period of time and buy more time for Liu Bei was what Chen Wu was considering.

Thinking of Xu You's secret instructions before leaving, Chen Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly: Do we really have to use the lives of the people to delay time?
He was born in the military and was unwilling to use the common people to plot against him, but now it seems...
"Ugh!!"

With a light sigh, Chen Wu was about to give an order when suddenly a fierce murderous intent locked onto his entire body.

The guards on both sides of him also shouted loudly at this moment: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Brothers, quickly protect General Chen!!"
