Knock knock, the drums of war sounded, and Yuan Shao's army, after resting for the night, finally launched an attack in the early morning of the next day.

The first thing to rush out of Yuan Shao's military camp was a dense number of wheelbarrows, each of which was full of sandbags, and it was obvious that Yuan Shao's first step in attacking the city was to fill the moat in front of the city.

Shout!

A sharp arrow slashed through the sky, directly rushing to the front of the cart soldier through an arrow, the soldier was hit by the force of this arrow two meters away, raised his head to the sky and fell to the ground, the other wheelbarrow did not care about him at all, directly pushed the sandbag and ran over him, as if lying on the ground was not his comrades, but a dirt bag, a stone.

Immediately, the arrows in the sky shot down, and the screams kept coming, and the wheelbarrows, which were originally dense and fast, gradually became sparse and slow, and the wheelbarrows overturned on their sides on the plain, causing great obstacles to the soldiers who followed.

Seeing this, the banner in the Yuan army camp was overturned, and in the rumbling sound, more than a dozen building arrow carts up to 20 meters high were pushed out, and there were dozens of giant shields above and below the building arrow carts, which protected the archers above and the soldiers responsible for pushing them below, and there was a small opening at the top of the giant shield above, which was convenient for the archers to shoot arrows, and the cold faces of those archers could be seen from this small hole.

At the same time, dozens of large crossbows were pushed out of the barracks, one lined up, and each large crossbow was operated by seven or eight soldiers, who quickly fixed the big crossbow and calibrated the angle of the big crossbow.

A burly man stood in front of the crossbow array, holding a small red flag in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Ready! "Even from this distance, I could hear his voice, and it was incredible.

As soon as the soldiers shouted, huge arrows two meters long were loaded into the crossbows.

The order flag in the hand of the big man waved down, and he shouted violently: "Release!" ”

With a roar, dozens of huge arrows shot at the wall.

"Squat!" Geng Wu roared.

The archers at the head of the city are all veterans, and they have already hid behind the arrow stacks without waiting for Geng Wu's reminder, and the giant arrows that shot in the air roared over the city wall and fell far into the city, but most of the giant arrows hit the city wall, and the powerful force actually knocked the city wall into a splash of mud.

What's more, some of the arrow stacks were knocked off by huge arrows, and the broken stones hit the head of the soldier hiding below, instantly smashing the soldier's head and bleeding.

Under the cover of the giant arrows, the opposite Lou arrow cart also slowly rushed to the side of the moat, and the archers on the car began to shoot at the archers on our side, so that the wheelbarrow below had time to breathe, and in the sound of drums, countless soldiers rushed out of the Yuan army's camp, pushing up those overturned wheelbarrows, and quickly moving towards the moat.

In the midst of the uproar, sandbags continued to pour into the moat.

Geng Wu's eyes flashed in his mouth, he took out a cyan flag, and shouted angrily: "Catapult ready!" ”

The catapult soldiers, who had already been preparing on the city wall, suddenly pulled the spoon-shaped catapult arm to the back seat of the catapult and loaded it with hundreds of catties of stones.

"Put!" The flag in Geng Wu's hand waved, and suddenly, dozens of boulders roared and smashed into the city, and in the click, three or four Lou arrow carts were scattered by the stones, and they collapsed, and the soldiers on it all screamed and fell.

Fell from the arrow car of the building more than 20 meters high, and was crippled if he was not dead.

"Ready-go!" Geng Wu shouted angrily again.

The second round of boulders roared down, and several more arrow carts collapsed under the city, and the falling stones and collapsed arrow carts smashed the soldiers pushing the wheelbarrow on the flat ground to cry and cry for their mothers.

As soon as the drums of Yuan's army changed, dozens of catapults were pushed out of the barracks, and the soldiers quickly calibrated the direction, and in the shouting, huge stones roared and fell on the city wall, and in an instant, three or four catapults on our side were smashed to pieces.

When he saw the other party's catapult, Geng Wu had already waved his flag and instructed our catapult to adjust its angle to confront it, and at the same time scolded loudly: "Grass, Yuan Shao, this beast is really ruthless!" ”

"How?" I'm a little puzzled.

"The following soldiers carrying sandbags and the Lou Arrow Cart are his bait, his main purpose is to find out the location of our catapult, as long as our catapult is destroyed, their siege pressure will be much less." Geng Wu said angrily.

I glanced at Zhao Yun, and we both showed angry expressions, this Yuan Shao is really a brute, and he actually used so many lives as bait.

Geng Wu commanded the catapult to counterattack, and huge rocks whizzed down on Yuan's catapult. The two sides come and go, the stones fly around, Yuan Junsheng has a large number of catapults, and we are condescending to occupy the position, finally, when there are still three of Yuan Jun's catapults left, they retreat, and our catapults, but only two are barely able to launch stones, and the rest have been smashed apart.

With a sound of gongs, the Yuan army began to collect its troops, leaving only hundreds of Yuan army's corpses under the city, as well as a large number of sandbags, stones, and wood.

The probe looked at the city, and I smiled and said, "Yuan Shao has withdrawn, we can take a rest." ”

"The catapults on both sides have completed their mission, and the next step is to start preparing for hand-to-hand combat." Geng Wu smiled bitterly and patted me on the shoulder, but his gaze swept over Zhao Yun: "If Yan Liangwen rushes up, it will all depend on Brother Wen and Brother Zhao." ”

"Hand-to-hand combat? The moat hasn't been filled yet. I pointed to the rushing water in the moat and said, "It will take a day or two for them to fill the moat, right?" ”

"Yuan Shao's round is just a bait, after destroying our catapult, he will take care of the moat as soon as possible." Geng Wu said gloomily: "If our army is sufficient, the best defensive strategy is to station 20,000 elite soldiers outside the city, and echo each other with the city. And now, because there are no troops outside the city, it is very simple for Yuan Shao to deal with the moat, and he only needs to dig a gap in the upper reaches of the moat to divert the river water. ”

I was silent for a while, Yuan Shaoming knew that there was a way, and he still had to send soldiers to death, so as to kill the catapults in the city, this ruthlessness was not something I could do.

"After the moat is dry, Yuan Shao's second round of attack is nothing more than sending a large number of sword and shield soldiers to charge, I am sure that in his camp, there are at least dozens of materials for Lou Arrow Carriages, as long as an order is given, these dozens of Lou Arrow Carriages can be set up in an instant." Geng Wu looked at Yuan Shao's camp and his eyes narrowed.

I immediately scolded, "Grass, when will the water in this moat dry up?" ”

"An hour at most." Geng Wu said slowly, and then there was a murderous flash in his eyes: "However, even if I don't have enough soldiers in the city, I will let Yuan Shao want to die." ”

I looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

Geng Wu smiled: "Throwing ash bottles and pouring gold juice doesn't require any professional standards, and throwing stones and giant trees has no technical content, so many young adults in the city, shouldn't they come over to serve?" ”

"I can understand the stone giant tree, what are the ash bottles and gold juice?" I'm a little curious, a bottle with dust can kill people, what are you kidding? And the golden juice, isn't it used to mold the golden body of the bodhisattva? The cost of this weapon is too expensive, right?

Geng Wuleng paused: "You don't even know this?" Then he felt that this sentence was not very polite, and quickly added: "The ash bottle is a bottle with lime, the lime powder is fine, and after the bottle is broken, it will fly all over the sky, and it will boil in the eyes of the opposing soldiers, it is a first-class weapon to defend the city, as for the gold juice, hehe, it is boiled dung." ”

I scratched my scalp: "Wouldn't it be okay to use boiling water?" How disgusting is it to use feces? ”

"It's right to feel disgusting, it's impossible for me to cater to Yuan Jun's taste and pour him fine wine, right?" Geng Wu smiled: "Moreover, after the feces are boiled, not only will they be hotter than boiling water, but they will also adhere to the body, this thing is known as a city-guarding artifact, but it's not nonsense." ”

After a while, I asked, "Are the raw materials enough?" ”

"100,000 people in the city, each person pulls a bubble every day, and adds some croton wolf venom and the like, stirring it, it should be enough." Geng Wu immediately studied it with me.

Zhao Yun next to him looked disgusted: "Grass, don't study this kind of thing so carefully, okay?" ”

……

As Geng Wu said, after an hour, the water level of the moat began to gradually decrease, and after another hour or so, the moat had bottomed out.

The drums in the camp on the opposite side sounded again, first about twenty arrow carts were pushed out, then crossbows and catapults, and finally countless sword and shield soldiers shouted and rushed forward, and in the queue of sword and shield soldiers, a large number of ladders were mixed in.

"Brother, it's up to you later, I'll go to the city gate, when attacking the city, the battle for the city gate will be the fiercest, after all, the city gate made of wood can't be as strong as the city wall." After speaking, Geng Wu dragged a machete to the city gate, and gave a loud order as he walked, and after a while, many strong people rushed to the city wall to assist in guarding.

"There's no news from Guan Chun yet." Zhao Yun looked in the direction of the north gate behind him, and according to the agreement, if he received an attack on his side, he would light the wolf smoke. I left all the pig killers at the north gate to assist Guan Chun, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went together, five pig killers should be able to barely resist against one.

There was no wolf smoke rising at the moment, which indicated that there was no attack on that side.

Damn, what does this Gongsun Chan mean?

didn't have time to think about it, Geng Wu's loud shout came like thunder: "All ready!" ”

Hearing this, I looked down, and saw that the river below was already full of dense sword and shield soldiers, and the long ladder had also begun to build on the city wall, but because the silt in the river slowed down their speed, they could only move slowly with shields.

"Put!" Geng Wu drank violently.

Suddenly, all the young men stood up from behind the arrow stacks, or lifted the basin-sized stone and threw it down, or lifted three or four meters long wood and threw it down, or threw ash bottles, or poured gold juice, no matter what fell on the soldiers below, it could make people scream, and in an instant, a terrible cry resounded through the heavens and the earth.
