The reason why they followed Zhu Bao was because Zhu Bao could bring them stability. Now that Zhu Bao was no longer satisfied, they would have more ideas, especially when the army of Zangqi County was on the battlefield in Yizhou.

After suffering heavy losses, the military generals had more ideas.

Zhu Bao wanted to rely on the city to fight against the Chang'an Army. The pacification of Yizhou County is a good example. It is simply impossible to rely on the city to stop the Chang'an Army's attack. The Chang'an Army will not give up the attack because of the city's obstruction.

pace.

The city gave Zhu Bao peace of mind, but it did not reassure the soldiers in the army. They had no hope of victory.

The aristocratic families in the city were very supportive of Zhu Bao's fight against the Chang'an Army. They learned about Lu Bu's various behaviors in Yizhou County through their own channels of obtaining information. They did not want such a thing to happen in Xianggao County.

In the eyes of Han officials, Xianggao County was poor, but the aristocratic families lived very well in it. They did not want to lose what they had in their hands, let alone become an aristocratic family under Lu Bu's rule, so it was reasonable to support Zhu Bao.

The family understands that their actions will have serious consequences once the Chang'an army breaks through the city, but they have no other choice. In order to allow the family to continue, they have to do this.

The support of the aristocratic family gave Zhu Bao a certain degree of confidence, but the low morale of the soldiers in the army caused Zhu Bao to face difficulties.

On top of the city, Zhu Bao and the civilian and military generals in the county fell silent after seeing the lineup of the Chang'an Army outside the city. Their idea of ​​relying on the city's advantages to fight against the Chang'an Army was certainly a good idea, but what the Chang'an Army showed in front of them was

Powerful, this silent oppression is suffocating.

"I believe that with your help, we will be able to withstand the enemy's attack and protect the city." Zhu Baoliang said.

The generals in the army repeatedly said yes. As for their inner thoughts, it is unknown. When some generals looked at the army outside the city, their eyes were full of fear. With such a defender, they wanted to fight against the Chang'an army.

How difficult it is to go far on the road.

It can be seen from the past achievements of the Chang'an Army that all the armies that opposed the Chang'an Army failed, including Liu Bei, the overlord of Yizhou, who was also defeated at the hands of the Chang'an Army.

Less than 4,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the city to defend the Chang'an Army's attack. If it had been before when Zang's army had not clashed with the Chang'an Army, they would have had enough confidence to complete it. But now, they do not have enough.

confidence.

Zhao Yunce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Where is Zhu Bao? When you see the Jin King's army coming, why don't you open the city gate quickly and welcome the army into the city, otherwise you will definitely die after the city is breached!"

"The thief General An dares to be so rampant. If you want the city, come and attack. I have elite soldiers, how can I be afraid of the Jin King's army?" Zhu Bao shouted.

At this time, naturally we cannot weaken our momentum. Although we dare not go out of the city to confront Zhao Yun's army, we cannot show weakness verbally.

Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this, "How dare you, the rebel, go out of the city and fight to the death with this general!"

"I have a city to defend, why do I have to leave the city?" Zhu Bao laughed.

After the generals saw this scene, they felt a lot more relaxed, and looked at Zhao Yun with a hint of joking. It was quite comfortable to see the enemy generals helpless outside the city.

Zhao Yun replaced the bright silver spear with a bow and arrow, and rode his horse towards the city wall. Unlike Yizhou County and Yuexi County, the city of Zangda did not have a moat.

Seeing Zhao Yun coming on horseback, the generals felt inexplicably nervous.

But when Zhao Yun shouted low, his strong bow was stretched into a full moon shape. Even though he was still a hundred and ten steps away from the city, the arrow in his hand flew away.

"Prefect, be careful!" When the two guards saw this scene, they walked in front of Zhu Bao without hesitation.

The arrow penetrated the throat of a personal guard. Zhu Bao looked at the little blood stains brought out by the arrow cluster and felt his face was a little wet. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and saw that it was full of blood. His face couldn't help but turn pale. If it hadn't been for the personal guard just now,

If he had gone forward, he would probably die on the spot with this arrow.

The generals on the city suddenly fell into silence, and the relaxation they felt just now disappeared. Zhao Yun showed what is called extraordinary cavalry shooting to the defenders. Although the defenders on the city were well prepared, even the archers had already done it.

They were ready to shoot Zhao Yun when Zhao Yun approached, but Zhao Yun did not give them a chance to release the arrow.

The civil servants and military officers around Zhu Bao were silent, which was a shock of strength.

Zhao Yun rarely showed his archery skills when he was in the army. This does not mean that Zhao Yun does not know how to use a bow and arrow. As a fierce general on horseback, proficiency in bow and arrow is a must.

After the soldiers in the Chang'an army learned about the condition of the city wall, they burst into cheers.

"Cowardless old thief, if this general comes across you, I will definitely kill you!" Zhao Yun shouted with all his strength.

Seeing that Zhu Bao did not dare to fight, Zhao Yun rode back to the army.

When Zhu Bao saw Zhao Yun leaving, he felt much more relaxed. He originally thought that the Chang'an army would choose to set up camp at this time, but unexpectedly hundreds of cavalry appeared in the army and came towards the city wall.

The galloping war horses and the rumble of horse hooves made the city walls seem to be trembling slightly.

After these cavalry approached the city wall, they loaded their bows with arrows, released a shower of arrows at the city wall, and then rode away. However, the direction they left was not to return to the army, but to the other three city walls.

"Prefect, there is something on these arrows." A general ran over quickly and said.

There was a small roll of paper tied to the arrow. After opening it and reading the content, Zhu Bao was shocked and cursed: "The shameless Chang'an Army actually used such despicable means to destroy the morale of our army.

Come here, immediately collect all the arrows shot by the enemy cavalry on the city. Anyone who dares to discuss the content above will be killed without mercy!"

The generals in the army said "Well" one after another, but in their hearts they were a little curious about the contents of the arrows. Zhu Bao was shocked after seeing it, and they also wanted to know.

It is not too difficult for generals in the army to know what is on the arrows. They only need to take a sneak look at the arrows when they are confiscated.

Zhu Bao's actions were not unpleasant, but the content on the arrows spread quickly among the army. Due to Zhu Bao's order, the officers and soldiers in the army did not dare to discuss it privately, but the content on the arrows spread quickly.

For some people it is very attractive.

The Chang'an army will not embarrass other soldiers in the city, but only kills the leader Zhu Bao. If he opens the city gate to welcome the army into the city, he will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan and become the deputy general of the army. If Zhu Bao is killed, he will be rewarded with 20 yuan.

Wan, sealed as general.
