C136 (2/2)
Zhang Jiao had occupied the Youzhou, Zhang Mancheng had occupied the Nanyang, and Bo Cai had occupied the both of them. They were able to coordinate with each other and formed a circle surrounding the Luoyang, and if they could coordinate together, they could encircle the Luoyang with all their might, and the world would be set long ago.
However, all the rebel soldiers were only concerned with themselves, they didn't even have the consciousness to coordinate with each other. Just a group of useless people like them want to own the world? Thinking about it, Bu Yi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Now that was dead, and the sun was setting in the west, and he was at the end of his road, then was Zhang Jiao still far from death?
Bian Xi, Li Shuang, Liu Qing and the rest of the generals were standing on both sides of the hall, looking at Bu Yi quietly. They were all frightened by the army's siege today, if this continued, the Puyang would not be able to hold on.
Especially those damned officials of the Puyang, they all had lingering fears. The soldiers were fearless as they rushed up desperately, almost attacking the city wall. If not for Bu Yi personally supervising the battle at that critical moment, the Puyang City would have already changed their banners.
”Lord General, let's just break out of the siege earlier. Even if we have to hold onto an isolated city, what's the point? No one will come to rescue us, and sooner or later they will take over as well. Although cavalry of Youzhou is powerful, there are only three ten thousand people s, and there are hundreds of thousands of us, so we can always escape a lot. It's better than being trapped in the Puyang City. ”
Li Shuang was already discouraged. How long could he hold out in a city without any rescue? If they were surrounded by the city and the soldiers were exhausted, there would be no one left to protect them. There would only be death. It would be better to take advantage of the large number of people and run away one by one.
However, Bian Xi didn't agree. He had always been on Bu Yi's side, faithfully listening to Bu Yi's orders. After hearing Li Shuang's plan to break through the encirclement, he knew what he was planning to do.
”I don't agree to abandon the city and flee. If there is a city that we cannot defend against the attacks of the officials and army, then how would we be able to withstand the attacks of the cavalry of Youzhou in the wilderness?”
”Do we have to fight the cavalry of Youzhou in the wild? When they come, we will go, neither to defend the city nor to fight. We will retreat to the east, and finally we will retreat to Mt. Tai. They, cavalry of Youzhou will not be able to guard Yanzhou forever. As long as they leave, we will capture some strong men and snatch the food from them. Once we have enough men, we can come back to attack Puyang. ”
Liu Qing was also in favour of breaking out of the encirclement, he did not want to stay in Puyang City to accompany Bu Yi in death, if he were to break out of the encirclement, he would find a way out, and guarding in the city would definitely be suicide, so he immediately stood out and said.
The few high-ranking officers had been arguing for a long time, but none of them had been able to convince the other. Li Shuang, Liu Qing, firmly advocated breaking out of the encirclement, taking advantage of the current situation and seizing the opportunity to kill their way out. Bian Xi, on the other hand, resolutely maintained his stance. He believed that even if he had to break through the encirclement, he would still be relentlessly pursued.
Just as everyone was discussing, Bu Yi suddenly raised his head and swept his stern gaze across all the generals in the hall. Everyone looked at him nervously, no one avoiding his gaze.
”Hahaha …”
Bu Yi suddenly laughed towards the sky. He seemed to have understood something, and after laughing for a while, he suddenly stood up, walked around the hall a few times, and then fiercely slammed his hand on the table.
”The reason the Youzhou Army wants to force us out of the siege is simply because she wants to fight with me in the wilderness. If we hold on here, we will be trapped to death sooner or later, unlike the Imperial army, where we will be rescued by others. Right now, all of the xanthopanax s have been annihilated by the imperial army, so we are protecting the Puyang. Once the Imperial army s eliminate General Tianguang, they will definitely attack us, so, defending for life is not the way out. We have to move to find a way out. ”Listen, the army will be exhausted after a series of attacks. In three days, we will charge out of the city and break through the siege of Mt. Tai.”
At this point, he stopped and revealed a sinister sneer. Li Shuang and Liu Qing revealed a knowing smile, defending and breaking out of the siege in a few days was much better than breaking out immediately, at least it could increase the number of casualties. Seeing that Bu Yi had thoughts of breaking through, Bian Xi's face was filled with helplessness.
”Brothers, don't be discouraged. We are not at the end of the line yet, so there is no need to risk our lives against the officials and army. Even if we occupy the Puyang, if we do not defeat the officials, what can we do? We can only truly take possession of our feet when we get to Mt. Tai, understand? ”
Actually, Bu Yi already had the intention to break through, it was only because he firmly believed that everyone would defend the city that he repeatedly refused to break through. Now that everyone had the same idea, Bu Yi walked to the three of them and patted their shoulders and laughed. Then, he nodded and followed Bu Yi to guard the city wall.
”Howl …”
The long and deep sound of the Bullhorn resounded once again, and the officers and soldiers entered their battle positions one by one. They stood in front of the wall in an orderly battle formation, staring at the Puyang City's wall. After resting for two hours and eating a hearty meal, they were ready to launch a new round of attacks.
”lithoclast, go!”
The first wave of attacks from the three thousand people in the morning was just a test, in the end, they had lost a few hundred soldiers. Yang Lin decided to let the lithoclast go up on stage. He gestured at Pan Feng and Yu She, ordering the attacking soldiers to stay put, now it was time for the lithoclast to show its might.
