Chapter 71: Fighting
The soldiers on both sides looked at each other coldly, although the sun was shining now, but their cold eyes were as if they were in the middle of ice.
The Yellow Turban Army was because they held a grudge against Yuan Shao's previous ambush, and they wanted to break Yuan Shao's body into thousands of pieces at this moment.
As for the city he desperately guarded, let him experience a catastrophe in Yizhou and directly carry out a bloodbath.
And Xue Yun's side, in addition to the pain of sacrificing his brother before, he also has the determination to defend Jizhou and not let it become the second Yizhou.
Now they can't wait to send these beasts in human skins on the other side back to reincarnate again.
This time, you have to vote right, brute, in the next life, just be a pig and a dog with peace of mind, and there will be no more opportunities to be humans.
The soldiers on both sides did not speak, but the commander spoke first.
Zhang Liang said, "Yuan Shao, give you a stick of incense time to come out and surrender, otherwise we will attack the city and kill him without leaving a chicken dog." You must have heard of the things in Yizhou. Do you want the suffering that happened in Yizhou to be repeated in your Jizhou? ”
Yan Liang and other soldiers, when they heard Zhang Liang's words, they couldn't wait to rush over and break the other party's corpse into thousands of pieces.
It's just that after Xue Yun heard it, he just smiled faintly and said, "Haha, I remember that Zhao Dong also said this sentence before." It's just that the one I beat was a falling flower, but unfortunately he escaped back. I just happened to be here, I want to ask him how he is doing now, have you gone to see him? ”
Zhang Liang is not a fool, he can hear the meaning of Yuan Shao's words.
Zhang Liang knew in his heart that the outside world must know about Zhao Dong's death.
Yuan Shao stimulated him with this, saying that he would return as unscrupulously as Zhao Dong, and it was very likely that he would die here.
After understanding Yuan Shao's words, Zhang Liang had no patience to continue persuading.
Directly opened his mouth and threatened, "I originally planned to leave a little kindness and give you a chance to live, but you don't know how to cherish it." Now in Yizhou, the people who live there see us, and they are even more respectful than seeing the emperor. We wouldn't have too many states like this. Archers, ready. ”
As soon as Zhang Liang's words fell, the archers in front of him took bows and shot arrows.
Because no matter what the war is, the archers are the first to attack.
Because it is the fastest existence that can cause lethality to the opponent, once the two sides take out the short soldiers and fight together, the archers have no chance to show.
And Xue Yun had long expected that Zhang Liang would use this trick, so he arranged all his shield soldiers in front.
And the soldiers who didn't have a shield in the back directly took out the cauldron of cooking at the people's homes and put it across their chests.
Although it may seem a bit nondescript, the defense is really speechless.
The first round of 10,000 arrows from the Yellow Turban Army also caused some damage to Yuan Shao's army, but because the other party was well protected, it did not achieve the expected effect.
Just as the Yellow Turban Army was preparing to launch a second round of attacks, Xue Yun's army was one step ahead.
Come and don't be rude, this is also what Xue Yun told his subordinates before, to strike later.
When the opponent's first round of archery was over, and before the second round began, Xue Yun's bow and arrow were shot.
Soon, it will be the turn of the Yellow Turban Army to enjoy the rain of arrows.
Although they also have shieldarmers to protect them, they can only resist partially, after all, the real purpose of shieldarmourers is to stop the rapid charge of cavalry.
When the cavalry has not yet approached them, use spears and spears to force the opposing horses to stop, thereby minimizing the cavalry's attack.
And the other branches of the army did not prepare a cauldron to protect themselves like Yuan Shao's army.
Although they wear sturdy armor, they are not invulnerable.
Therefore, Xue Yun's wave of attacks brought Zhang Liang much greater losses than himself.
And Zhang Liang planned to attack again, bent on competing with Yuan Shao in the bow and arrow.
It's just that Xue Yun is not as brainless as Zhang Liang, completely ignoring the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, and directly let the catapult placed at the back start its performance.
Because this is a battle between two armies, not a siege of the city, a big and stupid thing like a trebuchet will naturally not be placed in front.
But because the catapult has the longest range, it is nothing to put in the back.
It's just that the two armies are too far apart, and the location of the catapult can't hit the core position of the Yellow Turban Army, at most it can hit the shield soldiers in front.
It's just that this is enough, Xue Yun's target is them.
Seeing large swaths of stones coming at them, the shieldmen tried to block them with their shields.
But they found that the stones fell much harder than they had been in the valley before.
Almost none of them can withstand it, and the sharp-eyed ones directly choose to flee from the range of the attack.
Those who were slow to react, who were slow to brain, were all buried under the stones.
Zhang Liang saw that his troops had suffered heavy losses, and hurriedly said to Huang Ye on the side, "Where is our trebuchet?" What are they going to eat, stone me back? ”
It's just that Huang Ye shook his head and explained, "I'm afraid it won't work for a short time, because we didn't bring stones with us when we set off this time." ”
"You're stupid! Of course I knew I wouldn't bring it, but wasn't there a suitable stone nearby? Isn't it okay to just use local materials? ”
Zhang Liang couldn't help it, and scolded directly.
Huang Ye also felt very aggrieved, and said slowly, "I have already sent someone to look for stones nearby, but it seems that Yuan Shao has been prepared, and he has collected all the stones that can and cannot be taken." All that remains are mountains, and there may be stones ten miles away. ”
"Deliberately, this must have been done by Yuan Shao on purpose. For the sake of some broken stones, let me send someone to carry them ten miles away, which is impossible without two hours. And the number is very small, which is completely a drop in the barrel. ”
As for cutting stones from nearby mountains, they did not have such conditions.
Because to accomplish this difficult task, it is necessary to have an axe, a hammer.
Relying on the weapons in their hands alone, the weapons may be broken, and they will not be able to chisel down any decent stones.
As soon as he thought that he would be worried about the stone, Zhang Liang felt a little crying and laughing.
He was worried about food, grass, and money.
But who would have thought that the worthless stones, which can be seen everywhere, are more precious than gold in his eyes.
When he saw that the shield soldiers in front of him had been smashed by stones and had been crushed, Yuan Shao's second wave of bows and arrows beckoned him again.
This time, without the protection of the shield soldiers, the losses of the Yellow Turbans were even greater than before.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Yun took advantage of the confusion in the local formation and directly asked the troops to attack.
The fastest cavalry and the most powerful chariots charge ahead.
Only then did Zhang Liang know that the reason why Yuan Shao let the catapult choose to attack so far was to deal with his shield soldiers.
Make it no threat to the cavalry impact.
Zhang Liang also let his men attack, and the two armies finally fought together.
