Throughout Liaodong, there were as many supporters of Wu Nian as there were people who regarded Wu Nian as a thorn in his side.

The next day.

In the morning, it was still bright. Large numbers of soldiers patrolled the streets and stood guard on the city. Officials walked through the streets and selected militiamen among the strong men.

One by one, very reluctant men were forcibly recruited to become militiamen. They were reorganized and given simple training in the city.

Such people, with such morale, are just cannon fodder on the battlefield.

But it would be good to have more cannon fodder.

It can appear that there is strength in numbers.

An hour passed. The soldiers guarding the west city wall discovered traces of the enemy. After receiving the news, Captain Xu Min put on his armor, mounted his horse, and came to the foot of the city wall. He dismounted and climbed onto the wall to look ahead.

In the midst of the ice and snow, a team of about 10,000 people began to clear the snow, cut down trees, and set up camp in an orderly manner.

"According to the intelligence, they don't have much food and can't survive for a few days." Xu Min thought to himself, with a calm expression on his face.

He glanced around at the soldiers present and frowned slightly. Although the enemy is terrible, we are also terrible. There was more or less fear on the soldiers' faces, not to mention nervousness.

Everyone is nervous.

"Don't be afraid, we have a city and we are already in an invincible position." Xu Min took a deep breath and said loudly.

The soldiers around him calmed down a bit after hearing this, but they still couldn't change the overall situation. They were nervous and afraid.

Outside the city, Zhang Jin's camp.

Zhang Jin led a group of soldiers to patrol the camp, constantly urging the soldiers to speed up. Feint attacks must also show momentum, and cannot be done casually.

But the preparation work also needs to be treated carefully. The camp must be erected first, and it must be stable. The ladder must be built first, and it must be strong.

By noon, the preparations were completed. Zhang Jin let Jingzhuang eat a full meal and let the old and weak eat 30% full.

Then he divided the elite into four groups, each with about a thousand men, and prepared to hold ladders and carry out siege warfare in rotation.

This ragtag bunch of people needed equipment or training, but they had a morale that resented the morale of the Meng Yuan people.

Zhang Jin mounted the war horse he had obtained and galloped back and forth three times in front of the team. After attracting everyone's attention, he loudly said: "Brothers, the Meng Yuan people invaded our land and killed us.

relatives.

Most of you are following General Long Qie to resist the Mongols. General Long Qie is a staunch anti-Mongolian and the leader of the country. Now he is trapped on Yundang Mountain. We can only attack Guyun City and

Only by creating chaos in Guangyang Mansion can General Long be rescued."

"There are only two Han commanders in the city now, traitors of the Han people. Burn your hatred, inspire your strength, rush forward, pounce on them, and tear down this city."

"kill!!!!"

Zhang Jin had been reading military books since he was a boy and knew how to inspire morale. After speaking loudly with a red face and out of breath, he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and roared.

"kill!!!!!"

About a thousand strong men, armed with weapons, shields and ladders, rushed toward Guyun City amidst the roar of killing.

Their armor coverage rate is pitifully low.

Fortunately, the defenders of Ancient Cloud City were also very good.

On the city, facing the roaring Zhang Jinjun, the defenders became even more frightened, nervous, and even panicked.

Some archers even shook their hands, and the arrows that had been fully drawn on the bowstring fell to the ground. After realizing their mistakes, they hurriedly picked them up.

This further contributed to the panic atmosphere.

"Don't panic, and don't shoot blindly. Follow my orders." Xu Min remained calm, and after taking a deep breath, he ordered.

His voice calmed the defenders down a little.

"Fire the arrow." Xu Min stared closely at Zhang Jinjun's movements under the city. After Zhang Jinjun reached the appropriate range, he immediately pulled out the steel knife from his waist and shouted.

"Whoosh whoosh." The archers guarding the city subconsciously let go of the bow strings in their hands, and countless arrows flew out.

Zhang Jinjun, who had no heavy siege vehicles, suffered a big loss immediately.

"Pfft, pfft."

"Ahhhh!!!"

Except for a very small number of armored soldiers holding shields, once the soldiers were hit by arrows, they would either die or be injured, and the screams could be heard endlessly.

But this did not block their way, Zhang Jin's morale boosting had an effect. The soldiers bravely carried the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.

After arriving at the appropriate location, Zhang Jinjun's archers also stopped, knelt on one knee on the ground, bent his bow and nocked an arrow toward the city head, and shot it out in one go.

"Whoosh whoosh." Countless black arrows also shot towards the city.

Both sides are hurting each other.

........

At noon, outside Shanguang City.

The plains are still covered with thick snow, but the roads have been cleared. The news has spread, and the defenders are on tight alert.

The city was full of Han soldiers standing guard and patrolling. Of course, they had just been formed not long ago, and their combat effectiveness was about the same as that of the garrison of Guyun City.

Just a flower display.

Suddenly, a defender noticed movement in front of him. It seemed like someone, or a beast, was rushing towards the city.

"Something's going on." The soldier shouted, quickly triggering a chain reaction. The archers on the city wall quickly drew their bows in a panic.

But soon, they saw the situation clearly. The captain patted the yelling soldier on the back of his head and said: "Look what you are afraid of, there is only one person on the other side."

"Hahaha." The soldiers laughed loudly, and only the soldiers were left yelling, covering their heads in embarrassment.

Soon after, the man rolled and crawled to the bottom of the city and in front of the city gate. The defenders took a closer look and saw that the man was wearing black clothes, but half of his body was stained red with blood, and he seemed to be seriously injured.

However, the defenders did not act rashly and waited for the other party to speak. But after waiting for a while, they found that the other party fell to the ground and then became motionless.

This situation is a bit strange.

After a centurion thought for a moment, he said to a scar-faced centurion: "Take your men and go down in the hanging basket to have a look."

"Yes." The scar-faced ten-captain responded readily, and led his men in a swaying gondola, down the city wall. After landing, everyone dispersed, and two archers drew their bows full circle, and faced each other.

Aiming at the people on the ground, others were armed.

The scar-faced captain looked at it first, then held the spear and cautiously approached the person. The person was lying on the ground.

He used the tip of his spear to carefully turn the person over. After making sure that the other person had no weapons, he put down his spear and walked over. He first bent down to test to make sure there was still enough weather. He patted the person.

His face was unresponsive.

Then he slapped me twice, but there was still no reaction.

He had no choice but to pick up a ball of snow and stuff it into the opponent's collar. The opponent trembled and finally woke up faintly.

"Is this Shanguang City? Is General Liu here? I...I am the servant of the county magistrate. Guyun City is besieged by Wu Nian and is in danger."

"Wu Nian threatened that after breaking the city, he would kill all the officials and their families. Please send General Liu to send troops, send troops..."

At this point, the man fainted again.
