?Yan Liang and Wen Chou were sworn brothers. When they were young, they made a name for "Two Heroes of Hejian". This was a lot of years ago.

Since surrendering to Yuan Shao, the "Two Heroes of Hejian" has always been regarded as the left arm and right arm by Yuan Shao. Although he was humiliated by Guan Yu and Dian Wei, and was once robbed of the top position among the generals by Zhang He, now everything has passed. Yuan Shao has to rely on these two brothers to fight in Qingzhou.

Under Kong Rong, Qingzhou, there were once a brave general like Taishi Ci, but it has long been a thing of the past. Now, the main military generals under Kong Rong are Wu'anguo, Mushun, Yang Chou and Zongbao, while the only counselor is Wang Xiu. Among the generals, except for Wu'anguo who had experience in participating in the war, the other three are just incomparable roles. With the strength of the four of them, it is naturally difficult to maintain the peace of the entire Qingzhou area.

Kong Rong was also a real person. Knowing that he had few soldiers and weak generals, he would definitely not be able to defeat the group of fierce men under Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who were like wolves and tigers. So he simply let Mu Shun, Yang Chou and Zong Bao lead 10,000 soldiers to retreat to Le'an Kingdom close to Bohai, and let Wu Anguo and Wang Xiu lead 10,000 elite troops brought back from Jin to defend Linzi. Kong Rong believed that as long as Linzi was not lost, the military port purchased by Tai Shi Ci, the navy admiral of the Jin State in Le'an was still there, so sooner or later he could turn over, and at least he would be rescued by Zhao Xing's troops.

Zhao Xing promised Kong Rong that once someone attacked Qingzhou, the Jin State Council would come forward to uphold justice. Otherwise, Kong Rong would not be so obedient in recent years. He allowed Zhao Xing's people to do business and start mining in Qingzhou, recruit soldiers, and manage Qingzhou as the back garden of Jin State.

The 60,000 troops under Yuan Shao were divided into three parts, namely Yan Liang as the main general and Shen Pei as the military advisor; Wen Chou as the main general and Feng Ji as the military advisor; and 20,000 troops of the Right Army led by Yuan Shao himself.

Qingzhou's territory is not large, with only two counties, Pingyuan and Donglai, plus the four counties and states of Qi, Jinan, Le'an and Beihai. Together, it is only six counties, with an area of ​​less than one-third of Jizhou. However, because Qingzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, it is densely populated, developed agriculture, and rich in resources. It not only has huge gold mines, but also many mineral resources, enough to support the 60,000 troops brought by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's three armies broke into Qingzhou, which was exposed like a vicious dog. After some ravages, they occupied the entire plain county. Jinan Kingdom was mostly northwest and more than half of Le'an Kingdom. Xiahou Yuan, who sent troops from Mount Tai, occupied a small part of the southeast of Jinan Kingdom, part of Qi, where Linzi City was located, and most of the Beihai Kingdom.

The territory that is still under Kong Rong's control is not only a few dozen miles north of Linzi City, as well as the Shouguang area in Le'an, but also the easternmost Donglai County, surrounded by the sea on three sides, is not occupied by the Yuan and Cao coalition forces for a while.

Yuan Shao, who had almost divided Qingzhou, suddenly discovered a problem that made him very depressed. Although Cao Cao occupied a small territory, he happened to block the Langya County of Xuzhou, which leads to the southeast of Qingzhou. If the Yuan army could not occupy Donglai County, which was surrounded by the sea on three sides, then the future of going south to attack Xuzhou would depend on Cao Cao's expression. This was obviously not the result that Yuan Shao wanted to see, so he ordered the left and right armies to quickly go to Linzi, and take down the prefecture city in the shortest time, and occupy Qingzhou in name only.

The two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou who received the order from Yuan Shao quickly led their troops to Linzi City. They thought that with the 40,000 soldiers they commanded, they could take down Linzi City in a few places, but they encountered a lot of money as soon as they came up!

Although Linzi City is not as tall and strong as Yecheng, it is still a capital of Qingzhou, and it has its own unique features compared to ordinary small cities. Although the general Wu Anguo, who defended the city, did not make any statement, he was still an outstanding student who graduated from the Wohu Martial Arts Hall. The most important thing is the 10,000 soldiers who defended the city, who were a group of veterans who had fought with the Xianbei people with real swords and guns, and could skillfully control various large-scale city-guarding equipment produced by the Jin State Weapon Research Institute.

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were fierce, Feng Ji was also a good planner, they attacked Linzi City, which was like a turtle shell and Wu'anguo, who was willing to be a "big turtle", so Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were destined to be arrogant all the way, finally suffered a great loss.

The defensive design of Linzi City was designed by the civil engineering experts sent by Kong Rong to Zhao Xing himself, and now it is just right in use. Its uniqueness is that it is divided into two parts: the acropolis and the main city. There are acropolis outside the four main gates in the east, west, south, north and north. There are also moats several meters wide on the outside of the acropolis, so it is very difficult to attack the city.

Yan Liang came to the city first and called for war to the top of the city. Wu Anguo was naturally too lazy to pay attention to him and directly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to greet him with a giant crossbow.

Fortunately, the giant crossbow's head was not accurate, and Wu Anguo didn't really want to be ignorant of Yan Liang, so a giant arrow that was ten feet long just flew over Yan Liang's side. Although it scared Yan Liang's war horse and was shocked, Yan Liang still returned to the formation in cold sweat.

Since there was no one to respond to the challenge, Yuan Jun had to work together to attack the city. Now they were stabbed to the hornet's nest. Wu Anguo could save Yan Liang's life, but he would not let the army that dared to attack Linzi City have good results. Last year, when Taishici escorted Qingzhou soldiers back to Gaotang, there were twenty large ships not loaded with soldiers, but the same pressure on the bottom of the ship was very deep, and it was loaded with various weapons and equipment to defend the city. This time, there was finally a chance to play a role.

The Qingzhou defenders at the top of the city first used giant catapult carts and bed crossbows to shoot at the siege equipment pushed by Yuan's army under the city, and then when the Yuan army, who was carrying a ladder, approached the walls of the Acropolis, they used military crossbows with extremely high firing speed to attack Yuan's soldiers. What made Yuan's army even more painful was that the archers on the city used a large bow of about the same height as people, could shoot a terrifying distance of 300 to 400 steps, and harvesting the lives of the people under the city was like a sickle that mowed grass.

After a fierce counterattack, the Yuan army siege the city injured thousands of people. Now Yan Liang and Wen Chou knew that they were powerful and would never dare to be arrogant again. They quickly invited two military advisors to conspire to attack the city.

Military advisor Shen Pei said: "Since the Qingzhou soldiers guarding the city are so powerful, we have to use the weapon that has been hiding!"

Feng Ji's face trembled after hearing this, and then said in a low voice: "In this way, everyone in the world knows that our army has a terrible killer weapon, but I am afraid that the lord will face the entanglement of many forces in the future."

"Since you need to use it sooner or later, it is better to use it sooner than to use it later. Now it is time to live and die, so you can't hesitate anymore!" Shen Pei said with a firm look on his face.

After hearing this, Yan Liang and Wen Chou nodded heavily, then got up and made a deposit to start a new round of siege. ~ Please come to "" when you see the first release without any advertisements.
