Chapter 535 Gao Shun Night Attack

"No retreat, no retreat!"

Yan Liang saw that the Jizhou army on top of the city was continuously retreating, and he couldn't help but became furious and ordered the supervisory team to move forward.

The supervisory team armed with swords and axes rushed forward: "The general has an order, but you can't get the order. How can you retreat?"

Seeing that the Jizhou army was still retreating, the supervising team immediately raised their swords and axes and dropped them mercilessly. Several Jizhou soldiers were immediately beheaded. However, more and more Jizhou soldiers retreated from the city, and they rushed forward.

"What the hell are you doing stopping us?"

"That's right. If you are brave enough, go up and fight them."

The number of Jizhou troops retreating on the city wall is increasing. Although there is a supervising team, the momentum of defeat cannot be stopped.

"General Yan, now that our army is retreating, we are afraid that Nie County cannot be captured in one day. How about we withdraw our troops and return to camp for the time being, and then make plans tomorrow?" Jushou added.

Yan Liang frowned: "Our Jizhou army is so sharp, how can we retreat without a fight?"

"Is it possible that General Yan plans to personally kill the head of Nie County?" Jushou asked rhetorically.

Yan Liang's face became gloomy. Just now, he really seemed to have boarded the city in person. However, the morale of the Jizhou army has plummeted. Even if he cheers up, he may not be able to save the crisis.

"That's all, Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

After hearing the sound of ringing gold, the Jizhou army finally breathed a sigh of relief and gathered into a stream and returned to the barracks.

Although Yan Liang was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to live in the camp. Nie County could not be captured, so he could not sleep in the wilderness.

And in the main account.

"General Yan, tomorrow we will mobilize 20,000 troops to surround the city on all sides."

Yan Liang frowned: "Is it useful to surround the city on all sides?"

Jushou smiled slightly: "The purpose of our army's siege on all sides is to disperse the enemy's forces. Although the trapped camp is elite, there are not many in number after all. When Gao Shun dispersed his forces to deploy defenses on all sides, our army suddenly launched a fierce attack from the east. As long as one city wall is broken, Nie County will not be a problem."

Yan Liang nodded, frowned and said: "Okay, in that case, tomorrow"

"Report!"

A soldier suddenly rushed into the tent and half-knelt on the ground: "General, supervisor, Gao Shun comes out of the city to attack the camp!"

"What?" Yan Liang was shocked and angry. Without saying a word, he grabbed the long knife in his hand, turned around and said to Jushu: "Young master and sir, stay well in the camp and come back in a while."

Yan Liang mentioned it and couldn't help but get furious when he saw the scene in front of him. I saw only a burst of fire in the Xizhai, and shouts of killing were heard from all directions. It was obvious that the enemy had succeeded in a sneak attack.

"Damn Gao Shun, you still dare to go out of the city for a sneak attack?" Yan Liang gritted his teeth. He originally thought that Gao Shun's troops were sparse and would close the city gate tightly, but unexpectedly he dared to go out of the city for a sneak attack.

Without saying a word, Yan Liang hurriedly dispatched two thousand elite troops to rescue Xizhai. However, by the time Yan Liang and his army arrived, Gao Shun's army had already fled.

"Where's Gao Shun?"

Yan Liang asked angrily while riding a tall horse.

The Jizhou Army on the side replied: "Report to the general that Gao Shun has left."

"How many casualties have our troops suffered?"

"Our army suffered more than 400 casualties, and Gao Shun burned more than 800 stones of food and grass."

"hateful!"

Yan Liang couldn't help but feel furious and looked at Nie Xian angrily.

Gao Shun, wait!

In Nie County, the morale of the Bingzhou Army was greatly boosted.

"General Gao is indeed a famous general. He beat the Jizhou Army on his knees and begged for mercy."

"Haha, with General Gao here, our Nie County has long been in danger."

Although the soldiers supported him, Gao Shun still had no expression on his face and just said: "Okay, hurry up and go back to rest."

Gao Shun's prestige was high, so the soldiers in Bingzhou were obedient and returned to the camp to rest. After the soldiers of Bingzhou retreated, Gao Shun's face showed a trace of solemnity. Although today's night attack had damaged the morale of the Jizhou Army, the Jizhou Army was still in large numbers and it was not known how long they could hold on.

It would be nice if Huguan was still in my hand, but it's a pity

On the second day, the sun slowly rose above the horizon, and a golden light shone on the city wall. Outside the city wall, the Jizhou Army slowly opened up its formation and surrounded the entire Nie County.

The Jizhou army dispatched today was even more massive than yesterday. A full 20,000 people came out in full force. The siege equipment and bows and arrows were all aimed at the city wall, ready to go.

"General Yan." Jushou warned: "Don't forget that you and I discussed it yesterday and act according to the plan."

Yan Liang snorted: "Don't worry, the ambush in Dongcheng is ready, and Discipline Gao Shun is in a hurry."

"Okay, let's send troops!" Jushou said confidently.

Yan Liang gave an order, and the 20,000-strong army immediately deployed in battle and launched a fierce attack on Nie County.

Whoosh whoosh! Arrows rained like locusts, and the overwhelming Jizhou army shouted and rushed towards the head of Nie County City, just like a tide.

Gao Shun frowned and thought to himself: The enemy did not surround the three buildings, but surrounded the city on all sides. It seems that today will be a tough battle.

The reason why we used three gates and one gate when attacking the city and deliberately left one gate was to give the opponent a way out. In this way, the enemy will naturally not fight to the death, but will flee from the city. Once the enemy attacks the city and surrounds it on all sides, it means that they are bound to win.

However, Gao Shun's expression did not change much. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of an army. If even he was panicked, there would be no need to say anything about his soldiers.

"The whole army holds fast and must prevent the enemy from attacking the city!"

This time, the Jizhou Army was besieged from all sides and put a lot of pressure on Nie County. Even with Gao Shun's central dispatch, the pressure on defending the city was still very high. If the trapped camp hadn't repeatedly acted as a fire brigade, I'm afraid Nie County would have been under siege. The county has long been in danger.

Jushou, on the other hand, has been observing the situation in Nie County, and joy gradually appeared on his solemn expression.

"Quick!" Jushu grabbed a messenger and said excitedly: "Quickly inform General Yan to dispatch an ambush in the east city and attack the city with all our strength."

The messenger took the order and left, but Yan Liang said impatiently: "I have been preparing to send troops to attack the city for a long time."

As Yan Liang issued the order, the three thousand elite soldiers who had been hiding in the east and had not mobilized finally showed their minions.

"kill!"

Three thousand elite soldiers recharged their strength, and all of them were killed at this moment, climbing on the ladder, and under the cover of the archers of the Jizhou Army, launched a fierce attack on the city of Nie County.

Gao Shun frowned: "So this is what Jizhou Juncun had in mind."

"General, the situation in Dongcheng is critical, please support us!"

Gao Shun said loudly: "I know, I will personally go to support you!"

After that, Gao Shun led more than a hundred elite soldiers from the trapped camp to Dongcheng. With Gao Shun's immediate command and personal presence, the morale of the Bingzhou Army in Dongcheng stabilized.
