Chapter 738: Again and Again
They thought that they could easily break the county seat of Yiling, but when they really attacked the city, they realized that although the county seat of Yiling was only a small city, it was not so easy to take down.
Fortunately, they still have time, and there is still time to set up some ladders, and even rush cars and arrow towers.
And Liu Zheng saw that the temporary crisis was lifted, but he was not worried, after all, judging from the results just now, there were Gao Shun's people, and it should not be a problem to block Ah Huilan temporarily.
The only thing he felt pity for was that these barbarian soldiers and horses, if they were all recruited and cultivated by him, they would be extremely powerful.
It's a pity that these soldiers and horses are not his for the time being, they are the enemy's.
If he has the opportunity to recruit, these satisfies the warriors, but it can really raise Liu Zheng's strength by several grades.
After a frantic attack just now, the soldiers and horses of these southern barbarian tribes stopped and did not attack the city tower again.
Ah Huinan may have no face to talk to Liu Zheng again, so he didn't show up.
The whole night was spent in the confrontation between the two sides, although there was no further attack outside the city, but Gao Shun on the city tower was still on guard, on guard at any time, even if it was late at night, soldiers and horses were arranged to garrison.
Liu Zheng was also worried, so he didn't have much heart to sleep, so he dealt with it on the city tower for one night.
The next day.
Liu Zheng thought that Ah Huilan, the people of the Xiongxi tribe, would attack again, but to Liu Zheng's surprise, they did not continue to attack the city.
On the contrary, they only surrounded the city and did not do anything.
This made Liu Zheng have some doubts, but Liu Zheng couldn't do anything at this time, he went to Changsha and Jiangxia's Jinyiwei, and it would take three days to go back and forth at the earliest.
Before Sun Jian and Gan Ning's reinforcements arrived here, Liu Zheng only needed to stick to this Yiling county seat.
However, although he was only stubborn, when facing these Southern Barbarian soldiers and horses outside the city, Liu Zheng still couldn't take it lightly.
When the time dragged on to the third day, Ah Huilan, who had disappeared for two days, finally reappeared outside the Yiling City.
This time, Ah Hui Lan brought more powerful siege equipment and more men.
Originally, it was just a Xiongxi tribe outside the county seat of Yiling, with nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, surrounding the county seat of Yiling, and each city gate was allocated to tens of thousands of people.
Such a siege originally did not make Liu Zheng feel any trouble, but two days later, the people of the Xiongxi tribe called the people of the Manxi tribe.
There were already tens of thousands of extra soldiers and horses, but now tens of thousands have been added.
Although the Manxi tribe only sent 20,000 people over, when these 20,000 people were all gathered at the West City Gate, and at once there were more than 40,000 soldiers and horses on the West City Gate, Liu Zheng felt the pressure.
"Dong Di, you lead people to charge, I ordered people to make a lot of ladders in advance in the past two days, when the time comes, our people, all go up to the city tower, I see that the thousands of people under Liu Zheng, how to fight with us, as long as Liu Zheng is killed, we can take over the entire Jingzhou, his men and horses, there will be turmoil, and the time will come when our barbarians rise!"
In the past two days, Ah Huinan disappeared, in fact, he was also looking for help.
After trying to attack, he couldn't defeat Yiling City, and Ah Huilan didn't give up so easily.
Although he also has some certainty that he can take Yiling County, but if he does so, he will definitely lose a large number of people from his Xiongxi tribe, and the gains outweigh the losses.
With Dong Di's 20,000 people, it gave Ah Huilan a great boost, plus the cloud ladder he sent someone to make during this period of time can also be used, and Ah Huilan has a greater grasp of the Yiling County.
"Okay, I'll lead my people to charge, take this city first, and then Wuling County will be mine."
"Hahaha, Dong Di, our goal is the entire Jingzhou, don't just look at the small Wuling County."
Ah Hui mocked Dong Di, but Dong Di didn't have such a big dream, and didn't say much to Ah Hui, when Ah Hui Mo decided to attack the city, Dong Di was already standing in the team of his Manxi tribe warriors.
As the horn sounded, these Xiongxi warriors under Ah Hui's command gathered again, and then under the leadership of the leaders of the cottages, they rushed to Yiling County without fear.
This attack is already Ah Huilan's third siege, obviously compared with the previous two hasty sieges, this time, he has come prepared.
Whether it is the manpower, or the siege equipment, or even the mobilization of troops, it is very different from before.
The first two blind charges had almost no impact on Yiling County, but this time, Ah Huilan learned to be smart, and the shooters under him stood up first and fired a wave of shots at the city tower.
The barbarians are good at archery, because they mostly hunt for a living, and most of them know some archery, and many of them are proficient in archery.
In this way, these barbarians can shoot a large number of arrows from outside the city to the tower.
However, the bows and arrows of these barbarians are mainly wooden arrows, and the bows are not strong enough to shoot far.
Although it is powerful, it is still not possible to shoot directly from the bottom of the castle tower to the castle from a long distance.
But this kind of shooting was not to shoot Liu Zhengjun on the city tower, but to form a threat to cover the tribesmen who were attacking and charging under the city.
After a rain of arrows, those barbarian tribes rushed over.
A tense moment appeared again in the hearts of Liu Zheng and others.
Gao Shun had already been busy on the city tower when these southern barbarian soldiers and horses appeared, and now that he saw these barbarian soldiers and horses again, he naturally began to command immediately.
This time, the number of barbarian soldiers and horses attacking the city was large, and it was the four city gates that attacked together, even Liu Zheng had to personally command the battle, Lu Bu defended the east city gate, Shiwu defended the north city gate, and Dian Wei led some Jinyi guards to defend the south city gate.
As for the West City Gate, which has the largest number of people, Liu Zheng and Gao Shun, are two people, who command together.
There were only more than 7,000 horses in the city, and Liu Zheng stationed 4,000 of them at the west city gate, and each of the remaining city gates was only equipped with 1,000 people.
The arrows kept flying, and there were screams from time to time on the city tower, and the screams under the city were even more intense.
The attacks of these barbarian warriors were endless, and they were not afraid of the dead, charging ahead, and soon someone was the first to climb the tower of Yiling County.
