Anger flashed on Yan Liang's face,

The big knife in his hand pointed forward,

Roaring loudly in his mouth:

"Sons, give it to me!"

With one of his commands,

Yuan's army poured towards the Yanshi city wall like a tide.

The infantrymen held round shields in their hands,

Braving a dense rain of arrows rushing towards the tall city walls,

The rear of Yuan's army,

In front of dozens of cowhide drums,

Shirtless hammer and drum men,

With both hands wielding a huge drum hammer,

Pounding violently.

Rumbling war drums,

Rhythmically reverberating above the battlefield,

It brought great encouragement and excitement to the charging soldiers.

Days of grievances,

It seems to be completely released at this moment,

Soldiers of the Yuan Army,

His eyes were red, and his mouth roared loudly,

Fearless of death,

Cao Jun felt a lot of pressure.

The two Xiahou brothers stood on the wall,

Today, his two brothers are in charge of defending the frontal battlefield,

Cao Hong and Yu Ban went to defend the north and south city walls respectively.

As for the eastern wall,

Although there are no generals to defend it,

But the tight aspect of the defense is not much weaker than the other three.

Xiahou Yuan carefully observed the state of Yuan Jun,

He whispered:

"Big brother, Yuan Jun's momentum today is quite different."

Xiahou frowned slightly,

Naturally, he also found out about this situation.

After glancing at it, the soldiers next to him seemed to have some nervousness on their faces.

suppressed the solemnity in my heart,

Haha laughed and said:

"Hahaha, it's just a group of local chickens and dogs, maybe we tossed enough to choke a few days ago, which is a little crazy. Although the morale of the enemy army is like a rainbow now, it will certainly not last long if they are so angry, and let us wait for them to work and entertain them well. After the morale of the other party is reduced, he will definitely flee! ”

Needless to say, the tacit understanding between the two brothers is self-explanatory,

As soon as Xiahoudun's voice fell,

Xiahou Yuan immediately understood what he meant.

Now in this Yanshi City,

The defenders were only about 60,000,

And it's hard to have backup,

and the enemy army has at least eighty thousand,

And this place is the hinterland of Yuan's army,

Reinforcements will come at any time.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: "Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten rules to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple to divide it." ’

Although it is about this method of using soldiers,

It is said that in a frontal battle,

The number of soldiers plays a crucial role.

But after that there is another sentence,

'The enemy can fight, if he has few, he can escape, and if he is not, he can avoid it. ’

By extension,

But it's not just a simple numerical advantage,

Rather, it should be viewed according to the actual situation,

If you can defeat the opponent, then fight,

If you are weaker than the enemy, you must learn to retreat,

And if you can't match the other party,

Then find a place to hide.

Now, purely from the number of soldiers,

Although Yuan Jun has an extra 20,000 numbers,

But Cao's army occupies the power to defend the city,

It's not impossible to fight,

In reality, however,

Most of the soldiers of the Yuan army were elite soldiers in a hundred battles,

followed Yan Liangwen Chou through many wars,

But many of Cao Jun's elites,

But in the previous battle,

lost most of it,

Now guarding the Cao soldiers in this Yanshi City,

At least nearly half,

It's all recruits who haven't been on the battlefield,

If only it was for them to wave their flags and shout,

But if you really experience this kind of tragic siege battle,

A bad one,

It is quite possible to create a situation of rout,

Therefore, Xiahoudun is only in Fangcai,

Pretended to say that lightly.

At this time, the morale of the Yuan army was at its peak,

For Cao Jun,

It's a tough battle,

But as the commanders,

But I had to make a relaxed appearance,

The general is the courage of the soldiers,

If the Lord is fearful,

Then these recruits will have no choice but to lose.

Xiahou Yuan's face also showed a relaxed look and said:

"Hahaha, what the eldest brother said is very true. The walls of Yanshi are tall and strong, and we still have plenty of arrows, wood, rolling stones, etc., and the Yuan army is now attacking the city, which is no different from moths fighting fire. Hahaha, this weather is also quite cold, children, quickly go to a few more cauldrons, boil dozens of pots of boiling oil, and let Yuan Jun warm up his body for a while. ”

The two lords will stand at the head of the city and talk and laugh,

didn't put the Yuan army swarming in front of him in his eyes,

Such a calm appearance immediately infected all the Cao Jun present,

Those Cao Jun, who still had some panicked looks on their faces before,

Now that I'm calming down,

The hand holding the weapon gradually stopped shaking.

With the stability of the military's morale,

Cao Jun's morale also recovered,

Methodically prepare for it.

"Archer prepare!"

With the orders issued by the military princes,

The archers bent their bows and arrows,

Ready to shoot,

At this moment, the distance of the enemy army is getting closer and closer,

Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps......

"Put!"

With an order,

Countless carved feathers are like flying locusts,

Densely flew towards the formation of Yuan's army,

After a clanging noise,

But it didn't cause many casualties.

Although there are many people in Yuan Jun,

But whether it is the commander of the army,

or these soldiers under his command,

have all experienced countless battles,

On the way to attack,

The formation is very sparsely arranged,

Cao Jun's bow and arrows naturally couldn't do much damage,

Even if there are a lot of arrows that can hit,

and mostly hindered by the shield that was raised above his head,

Except for a few unlucky ones,

This time the bow and arrow sniper,

Barely able to do much damage.

The infantry charged ahead,

Immediately behind the infantry,

It is a well car that is more than ten zhang high,

This well car,

According to legend, it was first invented by Mozi during the Warring States Period.

Generally, more than three and a half floors are built by wooden columns.

The height is about more than ten zhang,

Much higher than the average city wall,

Bottom mounting pulley,

Easy to move,

Soldiers can climb the platform and shoot the enemy on the wall with their bows.

This is also a kind of siege equipment for the suppression of the fire of the defenders in ancient times.

It has a very wide attack range,

To the present day,

There is also a guard above the platform,

On the one hand, to prevent the soldiers above from slipping inadvertently,

It is also able to defend against bows and arrows from enemy walls.

But the shortcomings of the well car are also very obvious.

Not only does it move very slowly,

And because of the enormity of the target,

It's simply a target for catapults.

"Trebuchet ready!"

Xiahoudun waved his hand lightly,

Immediately, an officer shouted an order.

With an order,

The trebuchet behind the city wall slowly pulls the bracket,

Make a crunching sound,

Under the command of the non-commissioned officer in charge of aiming,

The angle is carefully adjusted.

The well cart slowly moved in the direction of the city wall,

The soldiers on the top floor have begun to bend their bows and arrows,

At this time,

Suddenly, all I heard was a 'whine' roar in the air,

Several huge stones fell around the well,

The momentum is very amazing,

Some of them just smashed on the well car,

Although he never smashed the well car,

But the violent shaking,

But it also made the soldiers above chaotic,

Before they could stabilize their figures,

Then the second wave of boulders followed,

This time, with the experience of the previous wave,

Almost all the boulders hit the well,

Finally, two well carts slowly collapsed with a creaking sound,

Dozens of soldiers fell from the top,

When he fell, his brain was shattered,

The situation is very miserable.

Yan Liang has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield in the rear,

After seeing this scene,

The brow furrowed slightly,

With a wave of his hand,

Immediately a herald went to give the order,

Not long after,

I heard the snare drums in the rear getting more and more intense,

Some of the low morale is now showing signs of being high again,

Finally, the infantry of Yuan's army,

rushed to the city wall of Yanshi,

Countless ladders were erected,

The soldiers bit the steel knives with their mouths,

Braving the rain of arrows and struggling to climb upwards,

But before they were halfway there,

Boiling oil suddenly poured on the head,

The soldiers of Yuan fell from the air screaming miserably,

Ren is no matter how great courage,

In the face of the enemy's endless means,

It can also feel unusually tricky.

"Uncle evil, it seems that Cao Jun's preparation is very sufficient."

Yan Liang's eyes stared at the battlefield in front of him,

opened his mouth and said to Wen Chou next to him.

Nodding, Wen Chou spoke:

"After such a long delay, it is normal for the enemy army to be so well prepared."

After a pause, he continued:

"Fortunately, we were prepared. This time, the private soldiers of those families came in handy. If it hadn't been for a long time with you and my brothers, I'm afraid this rabble would have been defeated long ago. ”

When Yan Liang heard this, a smile of conspiracy success appeared on his face.

On the first day of the siege,

It was the day when the besieging side suffered the heaviest losses,

Because of the various materials of the defenders and their morale,

It is the most abundant of the day.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both battle-hardened people,

Naturally, I know this very well,

Therefore, they sent the private soldiers of those families to the forefront.

The private soldiers of these families,

It was Yuan Shaojun who occupied the four counties of Sizhou,

Forcibly recruited from among the great families of various places,

All the families have private soldiers,

Yuan Shao relied on the golden signboard of his fourth and third dukes,

and the powerful force of Yan Liangwen and Chou,

or coercion, or inducement,

or know it with affection, or move it with reason,

Recruit the private soldiers of many families in the four counties,

became part of the Yuan army.

In the beginning, these private soldiers were simply a rabble,

But Yan Liangwen and Chou are very capable after all,

During the period of stationing in Sizhou,

Through the suppression of bandits and other wars,

quickly integrated these private soldiers into the elite,

During this siege,

Just to put them in handy,

Even if they're all dead,

It will not damage Yuan Jun's roots,

It can also greatly consume the materials in Yanshi City.

In troubled times, life is as cheap as a dog,

From the moment they were recruited,

is already doomed to become cannon fodder.

As the sun slowly sinks in the west,

The time of the day finally passed slowly,

For both parties,

It's been a very difficult day.

As Yuan's army receded like a tide,

There are only countless corpses left on the battlefield,

Most of them were left behind by Yuan Jun.

The remnant sun is like blood,

Like the remnants of the sun,

The mutilated corpses everywhere are presented in strange poses,

The smoke of gunpowder slowly drifting away,

It seems to be slowly telling the story of this bloodstained blood.

As those Yuan troops withdrew from the battlefield,

Countless soldiers in white clothes in Yuan Shao's army slowly walked out,

They are the ones who are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

In the battlefield, there is such an unwritten rule,

When the day's fighting is over,

Both sides will send men or soldiers to clean up the battlefield,

At this time, both sides are not allowed to use knives,

Even if the two sides have a deep blood feud,

When they bump into each other,

can only silently collect the corpse of his own robe.

There are many Cao soldiers in the city,

Watching the soldiers of the Yuan army under the city clean up the battlefield,

Although in the midst of this battle,

Cao Jun barely suffered many casualties,

But now that the fighting has stopped,

This atmosphere of sorrow also infected them.

The vast majority of them,

It's just the first time I've stepped on the battlefield,

Seeing such a sad scene,

Many people have been unable to hold back their tears,

Suddenly, a figure stretched by the setting sun appeared silently on the city wall.

Many of the soldiers who noticed this change turned their heads,

It's Xiahoudun,

At this time, he has not unloaded,

Standing by the female wall with his hands in his hands,

Look deeply at the battlefield below.

"General, General."

Many soldiers hurriedly saluted with some trepidation,

Fear because,

Feeling the emotion they had before,

Being an enemy seems to be a very undesirable one.

Xiahoudun turned his head,

looked around at the soldiers around him,

There is no ordinary stern coldness in his eyes,

Instead, there is a warm and faint sad look.

Such a look made the soldiers beside him,

Involuntarily shook in unison,

For the first time, such emotions appeared from Xiahoudun,

But it also made these soldiers slowly calm down.

"This is the battlefield, this is the war."

Xiahoudun suddenly spoke,

The voice is low,

With a different kind of magnetism.

Seeing that everyone had focused their attention,

Xiahoudun then spoke:

"Once, when I first stepped foot on the battlefield, the blood and noise of the battle made me not have time to think too much. However, when the smoke cleared, the scene in front of me was a hundred times more tragic than it is now. My heart was shaken, and I was scared and hesitant at the same time. ”

Speaking of this, Xiahoudun paused,

Glancing around again,

All the soldiers showed empathetic expressions.

Xiahoudun then spoke:

"It occurred to me that what was the purpose of such a fight? Life is only a few decades, so why do you want to end your own life or someone else's life in such a way? ”

With Xiahoudun's low words,

The soldiers around him also followed thoughtfully.

Later, when I returned home, I saw the relieved expression on my father's stern face, the serene smile of my kind mother, and the joyful look of my wife and children, and I seemed to understand that these were the meaning of all this. Because these are my most precious things, and I need to protect them! ”

Xiahoudun's tone was slow and high,

The tone slowly increased,

"The meaning of our existence in this world is to use my blood and sweat to protect our homeland, to protect every relative in our homeland, and to shield them from wind and rain with our chests and backbones! This is our mission! ”

With the last word smashing on the heart of every soldier,

They didn't continue to be confused,

There was a look of determination in his eyes. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Lu Bu Claw Book House of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
