Chapter 582: The Decisive Battle Begins

"Your Majesty, in fact, it has not yet reached the end of the mountain...... Tian Feng stepped forward, "The old minister is also worried that there will be such a mistake, so he took matters into his own hands and prepared a beacon tower.

Just need to ignite, the soldiers of the surrounding counties will know the situation here, and then send people to come to the rescue, perhaps, we can instead cooperate with the outside and fight to the death with the Han army! ”

"Really?" Yuan Shao was stunned, a little incredulous.

"The minister is good at making claims, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Tian Feng didn't show much excitement, but just confessed again.

"Haha, Tian Qing's family is really an old man!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "Quick, light the beacon!" Tell the soldiers that reinforcements will arrive soon, let them defend the city, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and we will fight together! ”

Defend because there will be reinforcements coming, and if there are no reinforcements, you will really die. If there are no reinforcements, then Yuan Shao can only consider three points: either open the city and surrender, or close the city and defend it, or break out.

Among the three, only the last one may be able to give him a glimmer of life, as long as the person is still there, then there is naturally the possibility of a comeback, if the person is not there, there is a huge land, it is useless.

Tian Feng was also a little relieved, Yuan Shao asked that it should continue according to the original plan, but it was necessary to take measures to deal with emergencies. At that time, the three parties still couldn't convince anyone, so they proposed that it could be done secretly.

Anyway, it's just a beacon, and it doesn't consume much supplies.

But in the end, it was an act of transgression, Tian Feng took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility, after all, he was old and was not afraid of anything. The frustration on the side also knew this, so he just remained silent.

The materials of the beacon tower have already been prepared, and they only need to be erected and then lit. So while Liu Tao was waiting, the other party had already lit the beacon.

"Looks like they're going to fight to the death?" Liu Tao said disdainfully, "Siege!" ”

The time of waiting is not to say that it is out of humanitarianism, and it is necessary to wait for the other party to reply or something. Instead, he used this time to assemble the siege equipment.

This time, he won't be stupid, and if he can eliminate the other party as soon as possible, he will definitely not procrastinate.

The only thing he didn't expect was that wolf smoke actually rose in the other party's city, and it was because he used the Wind Dragon Insight Scroll for the first time, just to get the biggest vision.

With a radius of 100 miles, this naturally includes several surrounding counties. He deliberately zoomed in on a city, and found that the soldiers above had spotted the wolf smoke in the distance, and then immediately went to report it.

On his side, Huang Zhong had already begun to lead the army to attack the city, and in several surrounding counties, a large number of soldiers suddenly came out of the houses, and then began to quickly assemble and come towards this side.

The entire Changshan County is a big spider web, and the core is the Yuan clan, but the surrounding counties have Yuan Shao's army, which can be dispatched alone or support each other. Between the cities, about ten miles of camps are also set up, as a transit for wolf smoke, and at the same time, the outlets are more dense.

It is said that with such a large outlet, it is not easy to advance without them noticing, after all, there are 30,000 soldiers on their side, not to mention about 50,000 people.

At the beginning, Liu Tao's headquarters, 30,000 soldiers, and 50,000 baggage troops came all the way. Although he used luck, in order to avoid startling the snake, he still chose to go out at night and speed up.

Without this, it would be abnormal to be able to reach Yuanshi County smoothly during the day and under such outlets.

With a scale of 80,000 people, they can all pass the pass smoothly, and it is conceivable that there must be some turmoil in the camp passing by, such as civil strife, such as food poisoning for all employees, and even sudden death...... So in the first place, why not march during the day?

"How much time do we have to siege the city?" Liu Tao asked casually, even if the ladder cart had begun to be built on the city wall now, the soldiers had already attached 'prayer', 'stone skin', 'heavenly armor' and 'burning will'.

"Until we take this city." Huang Zhong replied, then bent his bow and shot an arrow at the city wall.

With the blessing of prayer, he can directly fire a three-stone bow, shoot an arrow at the city wall about a hundred meters below the city wall, and rely on the effect of the unicorn horn bow to easily shoot the enemy soldiers on the city wall.

The siege was mainly handed over to Cheng Lian and Cao Hong, who commanded the sword, shield and hammer respectively. The former is a normal sequence, and the latter is an attack specialization sequence, mainly for this kind of blessed spell.

Each soldier holds a forty-pound sledgehammer, with the bonus of treasures and spells, and if the hammer goes down, any shield weapon must be abolished. Used against walled cities, the city gate and the large shield have a very significant effect.

It's just that under normal circumstances, if you want to run around with a forty-pound sledgehammer, it must be elite. At present, there are only 2,000 such soldiers in the various departments of the Han Dynasty, and they are used in the Si'an General Headquarters.

However, Zhang He, who is currently under the command of Ma Teng, has a team of about 3,000 halberds under his command, and the cavalry is specially dealt with. Both light and heavy cavalry can be dealt with, and it can also be very effective against ordinary light infantry.

On the ground, there are Jinyi guards, cavalry of the Wenchou Department and Pang De Department, as well as the personal guard battalion of Huang Zhong's headquarters, and the Sun Shooting Battalion.

The Guards Battalion is just the name, but the Sun Shooting Battalion is the second team to receive the title outside the camp, just because it is good at shooting.

There are 1,000 people in the whole army, and each soldier can shoot two stone bows. But each of them will be equipped with a three-stone bow, and even without spells, they can pull and complete a shot with all their might.

The precision of the three-stone bow is really terrifying in this era. With the unicorn horn bow, it is not a problem to shoot through two or three enemy troops within fifty meters.

At the same time, it will be equipped with a stone bow, five halberds and a dagger, so it can be said that the team exists completely for shooting.

In general, in order to pay attention to the efficiency of shooting, they will use a stone bow and constantly bend the bow to shoot arrows. And now they use two stone bows, and on the premise of increasing their strength, the two stone bows are completely used as one stone bow.

Yuan Shao's defenders obviously did not prepare a big shield, or it was useless to prepare, and the sledgehammer soldiers were prepared for this time. As soon as the hammer goes down, the shield will be scrapped directly, and the soldiers holding the shield behind will probably be scrapped with both hands.

At the moment of the gap, the Sunshooting Battalion immediately fired to harvest the defenders on the city wall as much as possible......

The city car began to storm the city wall, and as expected, Yuan Shao had no chance at all to block the city gates.

If it continues like this, it will take about ten minutes for the city to break.

However, this time is enough for the surrounding reinforcements to come and support. The question is, how can this be? Tens of thousands of cavalry, including the Huns, are waiting for them to come and die! Or rather, I'm afraid they won't come!
