"Shield!" Just about to start the siege of the city, but he didn't want Dong Min to give an order on the city wall, and a large number of wooden shields were erected.

Unlike half of the shields, these shields were very large, guarding the shield-wielding soldiers behind. At the same time, what is special is that on top of these shields, an observation port is reserved.

When the arrows come up, they will use this defense, and then take advantage of this gap for the crossbowmen to shoot again. For a while, several archers were hit by arrows, but fortunately they were blocked by the 'Heavenly Shield'.

"My lord, it seems that the other party has made countermeasures specifically against our tactics!" Guo Jia reminded, "There are not many of these shields, and it seems that they have not been made for a long time, but under the protection of these shields, it is difficult for us to hit each other!" ”

A simple siege mode that relies entirely on long ladders, relying heavily on the cover of archers. Thanks to Yan Liang's subordinates and the Hun reinforcements, the archery skills are good, so they can effectively suppress the enemy army.

Let's just say Hangu Pass, the enemy army doesn't even have a chance to take the lead. It's just that it's a little more troublesome now, the other party erects a big shield on the city wall, and then takes advantage of the air to launch a shot, so that Liu Taobu will appear very passive.

Generally speaking, catapults may be able to deal with them, but unfortunately Liu Tao is not with the catapult at present.

Suddenly, some soldiers armed with sledgehammers appeared in the crowd, took advantage of the gap to come to the long ladder, and then used the sledgehammer to go down to the long ladder. Basically, with such a hammer, the wood of the long ladder will also collapse.

Especially bamboo, if you hammer it down, it is very likely that the whole bamboo will crack. Along with it, all the soldiers above fell to the ground.

"It's another countermeasure against our siege methods......" Liu Tao was a little unhappy, this kind of strategy is on Dong Jun's side, and only Li Ru can formulate such a strategy, I have to admit that this person is indeed a little capable.

That's why he can't stay, and he has to bear the main responsibility for killing Dong Zhuo in the end. Even if you accept their surrender, won't there be hatred? It is not uncommon in history to pretend to surrender, and then rebel one day when the power is firmly established.

But there are also strategists like Li Ru, who help with advice, which is really reassuring.

"Tell ...... go down," Liu Tao thought for a while, "Let the three archers form three echelons and shoot in batches, so that the arrows cannot be stopped, and I will see how the other party shows his head!" ”

"It's just that the other party is erecting a shield over there, and our people can't climb up!" Chen Gong reminded.

"They thought my hole cards were out, but unfortunately they didn't count them, my hole cards still have them!" Liu Tao smiled faintly, "Keep attacking, Yang Shot, fight with me!" ”

"Whoa!" Yang Shu nodded, and didn't ask Liu Tao why he went into battle in person, but just followed silently.

A few scribes were a little anxious, there were not many cases of Liu Tao personally going into battle, and the key was that they also knew that their own lords had practiced martial arts, but they were only about the same as them, at most stronger, and they were not as good as those real generals.

Just when they were together, Liu Tao had already come to the bottom of the city wall, and Yan Liang and the others had already formed three phalanxes according to Liu Tao's instructions, and then shot in batches, which did slightly suppress the opponent's soldiers and make them dare not take the lead.

It's just that the shield is still there, and the long ladder is pushed outside, and the soldiers of their own side are about to climb up, and the long ladder is slightly offset to the left and right, and there are three or four spears behind them, killing towards the soldiers.

At this time, it is very troublesome for the soldiers to fight back, after all, whether it is a flat slash or a straight stab, it cannot reach the opponent's soldiers.

The pikeman advantage came into play here, while the shield limited the space for Liu Tao's soldiers.

At that moment, an arrow of fire shot out and struck the shield, piercing it through the body of the soldier behind. Not only that, but the shields and the bodies of the soldiers actually began to emit flames, and they would spread around.

"Come again!" As he spoke, three more bolts of fire shot out, hitting three more shields, piercing them and killing the soldiers behind. Suddenly, a section of the city wall was empty, and no one could approach it because it was on fire.

"Now!" Liu Tao immediately shouted, and the soldier who had already climbed the long ladder immediately shouted, then jumped on the city wall, stared at the opponent's spear, and killed it. Under his cover, the second soldier successfully climbed the city wall.

"Don't even think about running here!" As he spoke, Liu Tao had already released three fire arrows towards another place, igniting them and vacating a range. At this moment, Xu Huang happened to be on the long ladder, and when he saw this, he quickly climbed and killed the city wall.

Feeling that it was almost over, Liu Tao returned with a horse, during which the guards also suppressed with bows and arrows, so that the other party did not dare to fight back at all. Unlike the other archers, the guards are all marksmen.

It only takes more than two seconds for the head to show up, and the arrow is probably already shooting in their face.

"Lord, that was the ...... just now" Back at the position, several scribes hurriedly stepped forward to ask, really very curious.

"The spell called Fire Bolt is also one of the few attack spells I have." Liu Tao explained, "It can pierce the target like an arrow and ignite the target at the same time. To put it simply, even if you can't shoot to death, you may be burned alive. ”

Many people have seen Liu Tao's magic arrow, and that thing needs Liu Tao to point to the target from the flaw, silent, and shapeless, and the target is hit, and they may not know what hurt themselves.

The fire bolt is different, just like a flash of fire, it can be avoided, but the rate of fire is not slow, so it is easy to hit the opponent, and at the same time, this continuous damage is very suitable for dealing with heavy armor.

Even, it has a very good effect on siege equipment, and even city gates.

"The lord has cast several of these fire arrows in a row, and the mana is enough, right?" Chen Gong tried to ask.

"This thing consumes the same mana as the invisible arrow, not much." Liu Tao replied casually, now that he relies on treasures, his magic consumption has been reduced by 4 points. Fire Bolts and Magic Arrows, which used to cost 10 mana, now only cost 6 points.

He had just used 7 magic arrows, and he had consumed 42 mana points, which was not a big consumption.

"That's good......" Everyone sighed, and at the same time, they remembered Liu Tao's spell.

It's not that there is any crooked idea, it's just that there is this spell, if it is earlier, when Hangu Passes, you can ask Liu Tao to come towards the gate, and when the gate is burned, then you even need to attack the city, just kill it directly from the city gate.

They didn't know that Liu Tao had this idea for a long time. The problem is that this can only deal with unprepared cities, and prepared cities often block the city gates, so that even if the city gates are burned, there is still no way to easily enter them.

However, before hitting Hanguguan, I really didn't expect that the other party would not have time to block the gate, otherwise it would be defeated, and it would have to wait for the soldiers who entered to clear the city gate.

"Lord!" At the end of the day, a soldier hurriedly reported, "The enemy has blocked the city gate, and we need to clean it up before we can open the city gate!" ”

Meow, just said, but the other party actually did it! Liu Tao couldn't help but curse, so he went up with 2,000 people, surrounded by heavy heavily, if he wanted to be uninjured, he would meet the enemy and clean up at the same time, but it was not so easy!
