When he saw that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Zhang Liang was also very anxious, but he did not hurriedly make any orders for the transfer of troops.

Because he had already found that in addition to the few raids launched by Yuan Shao at the beginning, his team was a little caught off guard and suffered a big loss.

They did not let this cause chaos, but once again regrouped and organized an effective counterattack.

The gap in the quality of individual soldiers in the army also manifested itself at this moment.

Although the weapons and equipment of both sides are similar, if you want to talk about training intensity and combat experience, then Xue Yun's army is slightly inferior.

After all, Zhang Liang's army was all soldiers selected from the relatively barren places of Xiliang.

In terms of physical fitness, they are much stronger than the people in the Central Plains, and in order to make them become an ace army that can really sweep the world, Zhang Jiao's training methods for them are also quite strict.

Training injuries, bleeding, that's all commonplace.

From time to time in the middle, there will be training deaths, and this is absolutely not allowed to exist in the army of the Central Plains.

But then again, it's only through this hellish training that a truly elite unit can be trained.

On Xue Yun's side, nearly half of them were recruits, and although many of them had experienced the baptism of blood and fire, they were seriously lacking in combat experience after all.

In particular, some of them are the Yellow Turban Army who surrendered before, but they are all stragglers.

They were in the Yellow Turban Army before, and when they saw this kind of army, they were so frightened that they trembled.

Because they have heard from others that those people are the inhuman god of death, and those who are targeted by them prove that their time of death has come.

So even within the Yellow Turban Army, they are also distorted from talking about the People's Army.

Now although they have joined Yuan Shao's army and obtained weapons and equipment that are not much different from these elite troops, their fear of these people in their bones has not changed at all.

Slowly, the situation on the battlefield was reversed all of a sudden, and Xue Yun's casualties had surpassed those of the Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, this number is still rising rapidly, making the good situation created by Xue Yun at the beginning of the war disappear, and the initiative on the battlefield is firmly in Zhang Liang's hands.

When Zhang Liang saw this scene, his face also had a faint look of pride.

His troops were originally larger than Yuan Shao's, although he had experienced several previous surprise attacks, which had caused him to lose some of his troops.

But the overall gap has not changed, which is why he has not been in a hurry to give combat orders when he was at a disadvantage at the beginning.

Because he believed that his army would be able to destroy these enemies.

Even if the eagle breaks a little skin, it is still an eagle with wings spread high.

And no matter how strong the chick is, when it faces the eagle, it can only look up.

The gap between the two will not be narrowed because of a mistake in one link.

In the eyes of the strong, there is never a seat for the weak.

And Xue Yun stood on the city wall, seeing that his army had changed from offensive to defensive, and was gradually in a weak position, but his expression did not change at all.

Because he knew in his heart that there was still a big gap between his army and Zhang Liang's.

It is impossible to close the gap between them with a few surprise attacks.

And Xue Yun didn't let Yan Liang and them bring the troops back, it also had other purposes.

Xue Yun looked at the sun in the sky and said slowly, "Time is running out, right?" ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, the plan can begin." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xue Yun personally beat the war drums, which was an encouraging act for Yan Liang and other front-line soldiers.

In Zhang Liang's view, Yuan Shao's move was completely useless.

This war will not cause the slightest change because of a few beats of the drum.

The final victory must belong to their Yellow Turban Army.

Just as the battle between the two sides was in full swing, eight catapults slowly appeared on the top of the mountain on both sides.

Zhang Liang naturally knew that this was Yuan Shao's ambush, but at present, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and if this stone goes down, no matter whether you are an enemy or a friend, there will be casualties.

What he can't do, does he dare to do it?

Moreover, because the mountains are five hundred meters behind them.

Even if the target of these catapults were themselves, they were far beyond their maximum range.

If you have anything to say you have within this range, it's the only thing you can do ...

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang hurriedly looked back, only to know that the target of these catapults was not himself, but those motionless catapults and siege ladders.

"Quick, archers, aim at those slingers at the top of the hill behind you and fire your arrows."

It's a pity that the battlefield is very chaotic, and the archers are forced to pick up short swords and fight with Yuan Shao's army.

Because Xue Yun had instructed Yan Liang and them before, saying that whether they could guard the Yellow Turban Army until the food and grass were exhausted depended on whether the catapult ambushed on the top of the mountain could throw stones.

And if you want to accomplish this goal, it depends on whether Yan Liang and other soldiers can hold back the Yellow Turban Army and prevent any of them from leaving the scene.

This is also the reason why Xue Yun's troops are not afraid of death, even if it is a war that is destined to be lost, they must fight until the last man.

Xue Yun had discussed with Xu You and the others before, and they guessed that if the two armies fought outside the city, then the big guys such as catapults and siege ladders would be placed at the back.

Because in the decisive battle of the great army, these things are useless at all.

It is only when they are besieging a city that they have the opportunity to show their might.

The people on the top of the mountain are all people in the city, after all, the catapult is simple to operate, and it will return after a little teaching.

Therefore, Xue Yun did not send an army there, and besides, there was no danger there, and it was much better to let the people go over than to let them go into battle to kill the enemy.

And the people who joined this plan were 200 people.

They may not have much battlefield experience, but they are all from farming, and they have strength.

Once the trebuchet is working, it is like a sports car with full power.

Because of the large number of people, as soon as one round of stones is thrown, another pile of stones is ready to go.

In the end, it was a "rain of stones", and those stones were like hailstones, constantly smashing into the catapults and siege ladders below.

Because the attack was so fierce, the Yellow Turbans who had planned to move the catapults suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, they could only choose to flee and quietly watch as their home's siege weapons were destroyed one after another.

Xue Yun prepared hundreds of large stones for this plan.

It may be that these people are too excited and quickly consumed.

It's just that the results achieved are very gratifying.

Zhang Liang's catapults and siege ladders were all destroyed, and he carried more than 30 chariots with him.

And after completing the task, those people were very decisive to push the catapult down the mountain, and directly broke their bones.

Cut off Zhang Rang's idea of beating their eight catapults.
