With Zhang Liang's order, the Yellow Turban Army launched a direct attack on Jizhou.

It has finally begun, and this war, to some extent, determines the trend of future wars.

If Zhang Liang wins, then he will deal a powerful blow to the Han regime.

If he loses, then the Yellow Turbans will be greatly demoralized by the loss of a large number of elite troops.

At that time, the attack of the Yellow Turban Army will change from attacking on all fronts to focusing on attacking, and the main thing is to protect the territory.

Zhang Liang was very smart, he first let his catapults line up and smashed them into the city wall of Jizhou with all his strength, and cracks appeared in the city wall of Jizhou in the next moment.

The sense of vibration made Xue Yun, who was standing on the city tower, and his subordinates a little unstable.

This made the defending troops, who were originally going to shoot arrows downward, have no chance to attack at all.

At the same time, Zhang Liang let his archers attack to cover the advance of the siege troops.

As long as they reach the city gate, they can break open the city gate, and when the time comes, they can rush into the city and kill them without leaving a single chicken or dog behind.

However, Zhang Liang looked at Yuan Shao's expression very flat, afraid that he would have some conspiracy, so he asked the soldiers who did not launch an attack to look around, worried that there would be other changes.

Because he suffered too much at the hands of Yuan Shao, he paid the price of blood.

If at this time, let Yuan Shaobing make a surprise move and stab a knife from somewhere, wouldn't it be very troublesome?

Just as his siege troops were about to arrive under the city gate, Xue Yun said, "Begin!" ”

The next moment, countless wine jars flew out of the city and exploded directly in the crowd of the Yellow Turban Army.

When Zhang Liang saw this, he remembered the reason for the fiasco in Anhua City, and hurriedly let his army come back.

It's a pity that the order was given too late, and the next moment, one rocket after another landed, instantly igniting the audience.

The warriors who attacked the tower were also killed in the fire because they could not retreat.

Fortunately, Zhang Liang did not send out all the soldiers in one breath, and the first wave of the siege army was only about 1,000 people, and the loss to Zhang Liang was not very large.

When he saw the raging fire in Jizhou City, Zhang Liang also slowed down his attack.

He's not stupid, and if he attacks now, it's a moth to a fire – to his own destruction.

In the end, the flames disappeared, but Zhang Liang still did not attack, because he was afraid that Yuan Shao would repeat his old tricks.

It was only at this time that Zhang Liang knew that Yuan Shao was dragging him in this way.

Yuan Shao knew in his heart that Zhang Liang's army had no food and grass, and if they did not capture Jizhou City before dark, they would retreat due to lack of food.

For Yuan Shao, the goal has been achieved, and the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army did not capture Jizhou under the command of Zhang Liang.

After that, Yuan Shao will establish an image of an undefeated god of war in the hearts of the people, that is, he will use Zhang Liang's own defeat as his stepping stone.

How could Zhang Liang make him willing, he let the catapult move forward a distance, and included Yuan Shao on the city tower and the catapult troops on the other side of the city wall into his attack range.

Zhang Liang speculated that there was no suitable terrain for catapults to launch an offensive in Jizhou City, at most on the edge of the city wall.

This resulted in the stones of the catapults, which needed to jump over the high walls in order to hit the Yellow Turbans.

However, this caused the attack distance to be too short, so the Yellow Turbans did not attack until they reached the city gates.

However, Zhang Liang's catapult does not have this limitation, and he can easily attack the city.

Soon, large stones smashed directly towards Xue Yun and behind him.

Xue Yun hurriedly dodged, and the catapult he arranged in the city also became a fixed target, and suffered heavy losses.

In the end, the Jizhou City in front of Zhang Liang had been smashed beyond recognition, but it was a pity that his stones had been used up.

It's just that Zhang Liang didn't take it to heart, and just as he was about to attack again, the gate of Jizhou City suddenly opened, and the generals and soldiers led by Yan Liang walked out from inside.

Nearly 100,000 horses appeared in front of Zhang Liang, putting on a posture of fighting to the death.

After Zhang Liang saw it, in addition to being shocked, he was more ecstatic.

What he is looking forward to most is that Yuan Shao has a hard time with him, and now Yuan Shao's army has appeared, which is in his hands.

At the same time, Xue Yun also walked out of the middle of the team, and this time, instead of commanding on the city wall, he came to the battlefield.

Zhang Liang saw that Yuan Shao actually dared to come out, and laughed, "Haha, there is no recruitment now, right?" ”

Xue Yun also didn't expect that Zhang Liang would be able to get a catapult and cause such a serious loss to himself.

But Xue Yun knew that it was useless to say anything, so he didn't have a verbal dispute with Zhang Liang anymore, and directly said "Go to war." ”

Zhang Liang also said, "Go to war!" ”

With the boss's order, the soldiers on both sides also rushed together.

The number of people on both sides is half a catty, but the elite level is strong on Zhang Liang's side.

And the reason why Xue Yun chose the decisive battle under the city was because the Yellow Turban Army had not eaten at noon after a night of tossing.

As the so-called people are sleepy and lacking, even if they are elite troops, they are not iron-clad, and their combat effectiveness will definitely be discounted.

On his side, he is recuperating, and the soldiers have sufficient energy, and they also have their own advantages over the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, Xue Yun thinks that today's decisive battle will definitely not be like yesterday, killing 30,000 enemies and losing 40,000 himself.

Xue Yun observed this battlefield, and it was similar to what he guessed.

Zhang Liang's troops no longer have the terrifying combat power they had before.

Among them, Yan Liang directly handed over to the generals beside Zhang Liang, and after a day's losses of the Yellow Turban Army, the generals added up to about five hundred, which was more than Yan Liang and them.

So in terms of top combat power, the Yellow Turban Army has an advantage.

When they faced Yan Liang and other generals, they were all two to one, or even three to one.

Especially Yan Liang, he was taken care of, one person was surrounded by four generals, and the whole person fell into a bitter battle.

However, it did not fall into the disadvantage, and the four generals surrounded it and attacked from different directions.

Yan Liang also dodged left and right, and finally found an opportunity to take the life of a general at the cost of an arm injury.

But he was also injured and his combat effectiveness was damaged, and he fell directly into the disadvantage.

And Xue Yun's other generals are also not optimistic in the confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army.

After all, the other party is fighting more and less, and in the end he has to choose one life for another.

When you are dying, you should also pull one to make a quilt.

This kind of practice made Xue Yun very uncomfortable in his heart.

First, he couldn't bear the soldiers leaving him one by one;

Second, he can't afford to consume it, the other party has more people than him, and if he continues to consume it like this, he will definitely lose in the end.

But Zhang Liang didn't care, and was even a little ecstatic, he believed that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely win.

Just when Xue Yun didn't know what to do, a single rider with a spear suddenly ran in the distance.

It was the white-robed general who was supposed to be in a coma in Luoyang to recuperate from his injuries - Zhao Yun.
