The speed of climbing to the top of the city from outside the city is definitely not as fast as rushing directly from the female wall in the city to the head of the city.

This is also where the besieging side has a headache.

Because even if they attack the city, they may not be able to really capture the city.

Especially for some life-and-death siege battles, when the side trapped in the city will only be dead if it fails. If everyone uses their lives, then even if the attacker has a strong general, it does not mean that the city can be easily captured.

Just like when the imperial army besieged Julu County and Guangzong City earlier, there were many strong generals in the imperial army, especially among the righteous army, whether it was Dong Zhuojun or Cao Cao's army, or even Liu Bei's righteous army, they were all super fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. However, even with such a high-end military strength, they failed to play a role in the real decisive victory in the siege battle.

Like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with their strength, it should not be too difficult to lead a military horse to kill the city.

But what if they kill the city? What they had to face was an inexhaustible army of horses and horses in the city. And they didn't say to stand and let you kill.

No matter how strong a super fierce general is, there is an upper limit, and there will always be a time to be stunned. In the face of thousands of troops, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, not to mention that you have to constantly watch out for cold arrows. Or not to mention cold arrows, even bright arrows, under the non-stop salvo of countless bows and arrows, the super fierce general is also the end of hatred.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Dian Wei is strong and brave enough. But he was not weaker than Zhang Fei's bravery, and when facing the siege of Zhang Xiu's elite soldiers, he could only kill more than 300 people and die in battle. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Dian Wei's handy weapon, the double iron halberd, was stolen in advance. However, even with Dian Wei's twin halberds in hand, how much can he kill? If he doesn't retreat from the fight to the death, Duoji will let him kill hundreds more, kill enough thousands, or even two thousand, but the end is still a dead word.

From this super fierce general who really died in battle, it can be seen that a super fierce general, one person, facing the siege of 2,000 people, is already the limit.

Of course, this is just a case of fighting to the death. The real super generals, if they don't encounter the fierce generals of the same level who are desperately entangled, then even if they are invincible, they can break through from the thousands of troops. Therefore, it is very difficult for a real super general to die directly on the battlefield.

This, throughout history, is really very rare that a real super warrior has died on the battlefield. Even if there were, they were all killed under certain circumstances.

is like Luo Cheng and Pei Yuanqing in the Sui and Tang dynasties, as well as Ran Min, the king of martial mourning, and Yang Zaixing when Yue Fei resisted Jin.

In general, a super fierce general can play a very important role in siege warfare, but it cannot be said that he can play a role in determining the outcome of the battle.

The super fierce general attacked and killed the head of the city, he could fight to the death without retreating, defend a wall for the military horses behind, and let the men and horses below kill them. But in this way, there is a limit to the number of people and horses that can be killed, and what will happen after they kill the head of the city? They don't have the strength of super fierce generals, and they can't attack and kill in depth, but they will be killed as many as they come up.

Or, the super fierce general leads the men and horses all the way to kill, but in this way, he will be besieged by more defenders, and the super fierce general will kill the last minute, and the men and horses who follow him may be killed and injured. In the end, he was left alone at the head of the city, so how could he take the city alone?

So, any siege battle is not easy. There are many factors that determine victory or defeat, and it is not determined by the personal strength of a general.

Like now, although Guo Dian is only a third-rate general. However, during this period of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many real super fierce generals have not really appeared. Therefore, picking out the tall one among the short ones, Guo Dian is already very strong in front of these Yellow Turban Army. Now, only the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bitter Cockroach can match it.

The problem is that Guo Dian is entangled in the bitter cockle, and it is difficult for him to advance deeper into the city for a while, and the little space he created at the head of the city was then recaptured by the dense Yellow Turban Army swarming from both ends of the city.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of the court who had reached the head of the city began to be tired of dealing with the Yellow Turban Army's charge, and the officers and soldiers who had been killed outside the city walls were also blocked at this time, so that they could not easily climb to the top of the city again.

Guo Dian saw everything in his eyes, and he knew that this siege battle would only stop there. It's hard to do anything more.

The Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city is indeed waiting for the battle, and in the face of so many Yellow Turban Army, no matter how much they persist, they will only end up with the destruction of the whole army.

"Withdraw! Mingjin retreats! ”

Guo Dian gave a loud order, fought hard to force back the bitter cockroach, and retreated to a battlement with a ladder to cover the retreat of the officers and soldiers at the head of the city.

Less than 500 officers and soldiers were killed in the city, and more than half of them had already been killed.

The remaining officers and soldiers, hearing Guo Dian's order, hurriedly jumped onto the battlements, climbed the ladder or some ropes and retreated quickly.

Of course, it is not easy to attack and kill, and it is not too easy to retreat at this time. Many more officers and soldiers were killed before they had time to retreat, and many even jumped directly from the city, falling to death and wounded.

In this siege battle, more than half of the 2,000 officers and soldiers were killed or wounded, and the Yellow Turban Army also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

The officers and men retreated, but the two sides did not stop there.

Because another group of officers and soldiers drove to the city, replacing the officers and soldiers of this great battle. This group of officers and men will be withdrawn to the barracks to rest, and then they will be combined with other troops to form another group of 2,000 men, who will come again at any time to participate in the siege operation.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai at the head of the city was bitter, and he was encouraging the Yellow Turban soldiers in a big battle.

There was a cheer everywhere in the city, and every time the Yellow Turban Army repelled an attack by officers and soldiers, it was a victory.

Now, these soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are actually holding on with a breath of air, and they don't know when they will be released. If they no longer dare to fight to the death in the face of officers and soldiers, then they are not far from defeat.

After the bitter cockroach had told some of the generals again, he left the city.

He knew that the officers and soldiers would not attack the city again this night, so there was no need for him to personally defend the city here. He still has something to report to the general of the land and discuss with the general of the land prince.

When he carried those yellow turban soldiers on his back, the joy of victory on his face suddenly disappeared. His bitter face seemed even harder to look at, no one knew, and he knew very well in his heart that they would not be able to hold out for much longer.

There are many reasons for this, and they are doomed to failure.
