"Dismount and prepare for the Siege!"


    Unwilling to be robbed by the troops of other princes, Yang Ye ordered the cavalry of the invincible Legion to dismount and attack the city wall of Hefei.


    At present, the city wall of Hefei is seriously damaged, and it is not difficult to capture Hefei. Otherwise, once Hefei is built into an iron wall by Huanwen, the troops from the south of the Yangtze River can attack Shouchun through Hefei, posing a huge threat to Huainan and even the Central Plains.


    "No matter which military general of Xuzhou animal husbandry is facing, I will be beaten to death in front of Huanwen."


    When Yang Ye led the dismounting cavalry to attack the city, the archers behind the women''s wall fired thousands of arrows and killed hundreds of dismounted cavalry. Yang Ye''s attack was defeated!


    Considering the heavy losses, Yang Ye withdrew temporarily.


    "The cavalry who dismounted was not good at attacking the city. The general of Hefei seems to be good at using infantry and archers. "


    After losing hundreds of cavalry, Yang Ye immediately gave up attacking Hefei.


    Seeing that Yang Ye''s invincible army stopped attacking the city, Huan Wen showed a certain expression.


    The role of cavalry in Huainan area is limited, not to mention the siege.


    However, Yang ye did not withdraw completely, but was waiting for the arrival of his servants. Joan of arc''s minions have a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, which can give a surprise to the proud Huanwen.


    "Why hasn''t he left yet. Waiting for reinforcements? " Huan Wen guessed Yang Ye''s intention. "Although there is no time to repair the city walls of Hefei, even if there are 30000 more people, it is impossible to capture Hefei, which is guarded by Huanwen."


    When the Xuzhou army attacked Huainan, the sky gradually became overcast, dark clouds pressed the city, and the rain soon continued.


    Yang Ye plans to wait for the arrival of the army and use the army to break the city. However, the continuous heavy rain has a great impact on the attack on Huainan, and the marching speed of the grain transportation team is greatly slowed down.


    Joan of arc''s servants arrived in Hefei in the rain, and the water level of the surrounding rivers and lakes rose sharply.


    "In such bad weather, if we can make a strong attack on Hefei, Hefei garrison will be unprepared and easily capture Hefei. Is the morale of your minions available? "


    Yang Ye knows that bad weather is also a fighter.


    Joan of arc replied, "my encouragement to the Legion will not be affected by adverse circumstances."


    "Then it can be done."


    Yang Ye has a plan in mind.


    The heavy rain made the road muddy, and the rear army of Chutian finally came to Shouchun city.


    Zang Ba and sun Guan''s Langya Defense Corps and Mi Fang''s East China Sea Defense Corps arrived and listened to the orders under Chu Tian''s tent.


    "Besiege the city, once the rain stops, attack immediately."


    If Chu Tian wants to capture the solid Shouchun City, it is estimated that it will cost a lot.


    "I don''t know if the attack on Hefei will succeed."


    In the days of Chu, the army of Yang Ye and Joan of arc would be affected by the rainy weather.


    Weather is equally important to the March.


    Chutian is considering taking advantage of the rising water level of the Huaihe River to see if it can flood Shouchun city.


    However, the use of water attack is a big project, and it takes a lot of time to excavate the river channel. In the future, it will cause damage to the people''s heart.


    Whether to use the double-edged sword of water attack, Chu Tian hesitated. Unless he has a better way.


    In Hefei City, general Huan Wen inspected the city defense. Seeing no movement in the enemy''s camp, he thought that the enemy had given up attacking Hefei, so he returned to the county government.


    In the rain, Joan of arc, holding the flag soaked by heavy rain, led his servants to attack the army in the heavy rain!


    Tens of thousands of servants from the army carrying the ladder, fanatically climbing the wall, starting from the northeast corner of the breakthrough!


    The Hefei garrison did not expect that there were legions that could attack in such bad weather. They were unprepared, and fought with the soldiers on the city wall, and there were constantly dead soldiers falling into the water!


    Full armor knights with long handled axes can break through the defenses of most arms. They are like ghosts in the heavy rain. They knock down a garrison with a long handled axe, and then chop them down with a Tomahawk!


    In the heavy rain, the bows and crossbows were almost useless. The soldiers of both sides fought hand to hand, using swords and spears to fight. Hundreds of people were killed!


    Joan of arc, armed with a knightly sword, fights several of her besieged defenders.


    When a large shield hit Joan of arc, her foot slipped and nearly fell from the city wall of Hefei.


    The city wall of Hefei is at least eight meters high. It is almost impossible to survive the fall.


    The latter, with a spear in her hand, and three spears to block her shoulder!


    Joan of arc cuts off a spear with a knight''s sword and blocks it with a shield. Blood runs down her shoulder. She stabbed three garrison soldiers by herself.


    The soldiers guarding the city probably realized that this was the main general of the enemy, so more guards came to besiege Joan of arc.


    "Protect the general!"


    The Knights of the Legion of servants stood in front of Joan of arc. Their swords and axes collided with swords and spears and fought back the defenders.In addition to the unexpected advantage of the Legion of servants and the high morale, the defenders were constantly defeated.


    "I didn''t expect her ability is really terrible, this kind of bad weather can also improve morale."


    Yang Ye is ready to enter the city. His division of labor with Joan of arc is simple. Zhende was responsible for using her ability to attack Hefei in the heavy rain. After winning the gate, Yang Ye led the cavalry into the city and occupied Hefei!


    The army of servants quickly occupied a section of the city wall, and killed the garrison at the gate, seized a gate, opened the gate and let Yang Ye''s cavalry enter the city!


    "Kill!"


    Yang Ye took the lead and led ten thousand cavalry to rush into the city. Huge horseshoes trampled on the water and splashed water!


    "General, the enemy has occupied the gate, and the cavalry will march in!"


    Huan Wen was about to take a rest. There were shouts of killing in the city. Joan of arc''s servants had taken the city gate and let Yang Ye''s cavalry enter the city!


    "The morale of their army can''t be enough to attack the city in the heavy rain! All your own soldiers, follow me to resist the enemy


    Although Huan Wen didn''t know why the enemy''s morale was still high during the continuous rain, the enemy had already entered the city. Only by expelling them as soon as possible could he defend Hefei!


    The loss of Hefei will bring unprecedented pressure to Lujiang!


    Yang Ye''s cavalry gallops on the streets of Hefei. Yang Ye rushes in the front and stabs several Chai sangbing soldiers along the way with a red tassel!


    "Set up your spears!"


    Huan Wen led his own troops to grow a gun array, trying to prevent Yang Ye from attacking Hefei.


    Both sides know the importance of Hefei.


    Yang Ye takes advantage of Huanwen''s long spear array has not yet formed, vertical horse into the enemy''s array!


    Even light cavalry have the ability to attack the enemy front!


    Yang Ye''s cavalry followed the general, and the horses knocked down the enemy in the opposite direction, and the horses trampled on them!


    Yang Ye holds a long gun, kills alone, sweeps a piece!


    The cavalry behind him marched forward with the gap opened by Yang Ye, tearing open the infantry array blocked in the street!


    When the crossbow is difficult to use, cavalry do not have to worry about long-range attack. They closely follow Yang Ye and attack the enemy line one by one!


    Huan Wen tried his best to maintain the formation and slow down the speed of Yang Ye''s cavalry.


    "All the officers and men, we can survive only by fighting with death!"


    Inspired by Huan Wen, the infantry, who had collapsed, revived and slowed down the impact of Yang Ye''s cavalry.


    Both sides saw in the street, and the narrow street restricted the cavalry''s role. When the speed of the cavalry decreased, it became a melee battle, fighting with infantry armed with long halberds and spears, each with casualties.


    The cost of cavalry was much higher than that of infantry. Huanwen used the narrow terrain to bring a lot of casualties to Yang Ye''s invincible army.


    There were dozens of infantrymen who died under Yang Ye''s command, but there was an endless stream of infantry in the rear, spearing at Yang Ye.


    In less than half an hour, hundreds of cavalry and infantry were killed!


    When the two sides were in a stalemate, the Japanese warriors and the soldiers of the Arab Empire, who were in the army, made a detour to Huanwen''s rear and attacked him with Yang Ye. This group of fanatical warriors and believers rushed into the enemy''s array regardless of the cost. The swords of samurai and Damascus slashed and killed dozens of Chai sang soldiers in the rear!


    The attack between the front and back led to the collapse of Huanwen army''s morale and the defeat of Huanwen!


    Seeing that the general situation had passed away, Huan Wen did not know how many enemies there were, so he led his soldiers to kill a city gate and seize the gate.


    The number of soldiers in Huanwen Legion is large, and Huanwen wants to retreat, and many of the invincible and subordinate legions pursued by Huanwen army are killed by Huanwen army.


    "What a formidable opponent."


    Yang ye saw that Huan Wen could cause a lot of casualties to his cavalry when he was attacked. He looked dignified and let the rain fall into the pool of blood along the armor.


    In the battle of Hefei, at least 2000 people were injured and Joan of arc was injured.


    Huanwen was defeated and left in part because he did not know the strength of Yang Ye and Joan of arc.


    "I''m not willing to fail!"


    When Huan Wen withdrew from Hefei, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He may overestimate the strength of his opponent. The Japanese samurai and the soldiers of the Arab Empire who attacked him just now may be only a few hundred.


    "General, our reinforcements have arrived!"


    When Huanwen was defeated, zuti of Lujiang led 20000 Lujiang troops to support Huanwen and joined up with Chai sangbing of Huanwen.


    "How was Hefei lost?"


    "I overestimated the strength of the enemy. Together, we can take Hefei back! "


    "Good!"


    Zuti and Huanwen joined forces, with 30000 or 40000 people, and returned to attack Hefei!


    Hefei is too important for them!


    It may take 12000 people to be killed in battle to capture Hefei now. But if we don''t take it now, Hefei may become a meat grinder in the future, with 100000 casualties.


    "The enemy turns back!"


    Yang ye had just expelled Huanwen, who occupied Hefei, and Huanwen came back again. Yang Ye and Joan of arc became defenders, and they fought hard to defend Hefei.The Legion of servants and the dismounted cavalry came to the wall to defend themselves. The two sides fought in the heavy rain!


    Joan of arc continued to fight with the sword after wrapping gauze around her shoulders.


    Zuti and Huanwen ordered the soldiers to set up a ladder and climb up to take advantage of the fact that Yang ye had not yet established a foothold, and stormed Hefei!


    Although the great princes behind the two sides did not have the trend of fighting against each other at this time, they had been fighting for the key city of Hefei. Who can get Hefei, who will take the initiative in the future!


    A large number of Lujiang soldiers and Chai sang soldiers climbed to the city from all directions. A soldier holding a heavy hammer will stun a knight in full armor and hammer it down again. As a high-level soldier, the knight will also be killed. Japanese warriors were stabbed to death by spears, and soldiers of the Arab Empire were chased off.


    In order to kill the fanatical servants, a large number of soldiers and horses of Lujiang and Chaisang were killed, and corpses were scattered all over the city.


    "What is the origin of this army of strange soldiers?"


    Zuti and Huanwen were in command of the fierce siege in the heavy rain. They were surprised by the combat effectiveness and morale of the army of servants.


    They are not the only soldiers of Chu rank.


    Most of the soldiers of zuti and Huanwen were low-level soldiers.


    Yang Ye cleaned up the enemy with a gun on the wall, and all the enemies who boarded the city fell under his red tassel.


    In order to fight for Hefei, the two sides fought fiercely until the night, and the soldiers even struggled with their swords, so the war was stopped.


    "Hoo Whoa... "


    Joan of arc supported her body with her sword, and her physical strength reached its peak.


    When both sides realize the importance of Hefei, they will attack at all costs.


    Hou Jing was unable to protect himself, giving zuti and Huanwen of Lujiang an opportunity to occupy Hefei. Yang Ye and Joan of arc went south to seize Hefei at Chu Tian''s command, and finally broke out a fierce battle.


    The next day, the two sides took a little rest and fought again in the heavy rain!


    ……


    Under Shouchun City, Chu Tian looks at the continuous rain. He has received the news that Yang Ye and Joan of arc are stationed in Hefei and are fighting with the legions suspected to be from Lujiang. Among them, Joan of arc was injured in the rain, so the high fever did not subside. Chu Tian asked Li Lan, a doctor with the army, to go to Hefei.


    At the same time, Chu Tian sent the Langya Defense Corps of Zang Ba and sun Guan, with 15000 people, to support Yang Ye and Joan of arc.


    Chu Tian didn''t trust Mi Fang''s ability, but Zang Ba and sun Guan were very reliable.


    Zang Ba became a one eyed dragon, and sun Guan limped, but they were all brave generals.


    The legion with the ability to compete with Yang Ye for Hefei is obviously the army of Lujiang prefect Tongque staying in Lujiang.


    "Copper sparrow certainly knows the importance of Hefei, so it will not hesitate to send the army to attack Hefei. Maybe if Shouchun is captured, I can beat Lujiang as well. "


    Although Chutian didn''t declare war with Tongque, during the period of separatist regime, all kinds of collusion and conspiracy were common. After occupying Jiujiang County, Chutian went to fight Lujiang and occupied Jiangbei completely.


    Hou Jing was afraid that the Xuzhou army would attack in the heavy rain, so he sent patrols day and night, and even came to the city wall to guard it.


    During this period, Hou Jing tried to lead his troops out of the city to attack Chu Tian''s main military tent. However, he was repulsed by Xue Rengui and Hua Mulan, and pursued to the bottom of the city. He was afraid of being ambushed by the city''s defenders.


    Guo Jia followed Hou Jing on the city wall looking at the camp of Xuzhou army in the heavy rain, but his expression was relatively calm.


    As long as the rain stops, Hou Jing will die soon.


    The reason why the siegers under the city did not move was that they were not willing to attack in the rain, and there were too many casualties.
