Chapter 51: The city gate broke through Zhao Hui and went to battle
learned that Huangfu Song had exterminated the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army and was leading a large army to Jizhou.
Dong Zhuo's attack on Julu City was even more urgent, and he didn't want to kill Zhang Jiao's credit and be divided by Huangfu Song in half.
And with his current status, as soon as Huangfu Song comes, the battle situation here will basically be headed by Huangfu Song.
At that time, there may not be anything to do with him Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo is bound to win the first merit of exterminating the Yellow Turban Army this time.
"Siege the city, we must capture Zhang Jiao alive today." Dong Zhuo ordered.
Dong Zhuo now has 70,000 Han troops in his hands, all of which were thrown into the battlefield by him, and he began to attack Julu with all his might.
But Zhang Jiao is still there, the belief of the Yellow Turban Army in the city has not collapsed, and in the face of the siege of the Han army, they did their duty one by one to block the Han army under the city.
Countless Han troops were pressed under the city wall, and ladders were pushed under the city.
The reconstructed siege engines began to ram the gates again.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The impact of the siege vehicle was huge, and the gates of the giant deer were reinforced. But every time it hit, the city gate still vibrated constantly, and even the walls on the side appeared with fine cracks.
"Oil." Zhou Cang was on the city wall, commanding the Yellow Turban Army to pour the fire oil down, and then personally threw torches on the siege engine.
The fire ignited, and the newly built siege engine was quickly reduced to ashes.
It's just that without waiting for the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall to be happy, the Han army pushed another siege vehicle over.
"Don't be afraid, we'll burn as much as we come." Zhou Cang said.
Although the siege engine was already on fire when it was still three feet away from the city gate.
But the siege vehicle still hit the city gate ten times in a row, and the Han army under the siege vehicle couldn't help but run away.
But after the second siege vehicle was burned, Dong Zhuo sent a third, and I don't know how many of these siege weapons Dong Zhuo prepared during this time.
The ladders erected on the city wall, the Yellow Turban Army didn't know how many had been cut down, but as far as the eye could see, there were still countless Han soldiers pushing the ladders to the side of the city wall, and then climbing up regardless of their lives.
Compared with the Yellow Turban Army, these Han troops were more brave in attacking the city, and they all seemed to be not afraid of death.
Dong Zhuo was right behind them, and before Mingjin, none of the Han troops dared to turn their backs to the city and face Dong Zhuo.
The third siege vehicle was burned again, but the gates were already crumbling and could be toppled at any moment.
Seeing that the fourth siege vehicle was pushed out in the Han army, Zhou Cang's face was already ugly.
Not only Zhou Cang, but also the Yellow Turban Army on the top of the city gate have already been seen.
Even if they were able to burn the fourth siege vehicle again, the gates would still be smashed open.
"Great sage and good teacher, the city gate is about to be lost." Zhou Cang hurriedly reported to Zhang Jiao.
"Don't panic, it doesn't matter if the city gates fall." Zhang Jiao was very calm, but there was not much luster on his face.
Soon the fourth siege vehicle approached the city gate, and more than a dozen fire oil were poured on the siege vehicle.
A spark falls, setting the siege vehicle on fire again.
But the speed of the siege vehicle did not decrease, and it still hit the city gate hard.
Rumble!
The city gate vibrated incessantly, and the fire on the siege vehicle grew bigger and bigger, but it still slowly retreated more than a foot, and then hit the city gate again.
There was another thud, and the gate fell backwards, crushing a group of Yellow Turban troops standing behind the gate.
"The city gate has been broken, the whole army charges, and the first one to enter Julu City will be rewarded with a hundred taels of yellow scarves."
As Dong Zhuo's order was issued, the Han army outside the city began to rush towards the city gate frantically, and Dong Zhuo himself did not look.
Dong Zhuo, who has been in Xiliang for twenty or thirty years, no one will question his martial bravery.
In the Xiliang army, Dong Zhuo's force value is second to none.
Although he is not as good as top generals like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, his martial arts value can definitely reach the first-class level.
And now Dong Zhuo is still a military general, he has been fighting all year round, his body has not been blessed, his body is strong and powerful, at least among the dozens of commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, no one is his opponent.
"The city gate has been breached by the Han army, everyone comes with me."
Zhao Hui, who received Zhang Jiao's news, was very surprised, and immediately took the 100-person team to support.
When Zhao Hui arrived, the Han army and the Yellow Turban army were already red-eyed at the city gate. 、
The city gate, which was more than two feet wide, was already covered with corpses.
But neither side retreated, stepping on the corpse and continuing to fight.
There was only such a large place at the city gate, and it was difficult to show the numerical superiority of the Yellow Turban Army, and their combat strength was generally lower than that of the Han Army.
Although because of Zhang Jiao's existence, they were not afraid of death and did not escape, but they still could not stop the advance of the Han army.
"Coach Zhao is here."
"Don't panic, everybody."
Those with sharp eyes have already seen Zhao Hui rushing over with a team of 100 people.
The combat strength of the hundred-man team, when they attacked Guangzong before, had already proved to everyone that no one would doubt that they could not defeat the Han army.
The arrival of Zhao Hui made the Yellow Turban Army at the city gate feel like a reassuring pill.
Zhao Hui and the 100-man team did not disappoint them either.
As Zhao Hui took over the battle at the city gate, it was difficult for the Han army to advance a point, but they were forced to withdraw by Zhao Hui and them.
Zhao Hui did not use the Mo knife, but used an ordinary war knife, the Mo knife was too heavy and consumed too much physical strength.
In the face of these ordinary Han troops, an ordinary war knife was enough for Zhao Hui.
"Why haven't you killed it yet?"
Dong Zhuo also rushed to the city gate, grabbed a soldier and asked.
"Originally, we were about to kill us, but suddenly a team of thieves came, each with a sword in their hands, and killed us back."
"Useless stuff." Pushing the soldiers away, Dong Zhuo held a long lance in his hand and clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and personally rushed to the city gate.
When Dong Zhuo fought in Xiliang, he always rushed to the front, his bravery, his courage never lost to others.
If it weren't for the siege, Dong Zhuo would have personally gone into battle this time.
Seeing Dong Zhuo rushing over, he immediately stabbed several Yellow Turban Army.
To avoid more people dying in the hands of Dong Zhuo, Zhao Hui greeted him as soon as possible.
Dong Zhuo obviously also saw Zhao Hui, and pointed at Zhao Hui's body with a long lance.
Whether it is the Han army or the Yellow Turban Army, they are mainly infantry, and those who can ride on war horses are all characters with heads and faces.
Zhao Hui didn't dare to be careless, and the war knife in his hand slashed at the stabbing lance with all his might.
Seeing that his long lance was blocked by Zhao Huige, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the horse, was slightly surprised.
"There is still a good hand like you among the Yellow Turban Thieves."
But Dong Zhuo obviously didn't have the idea of cherishing his talents, so he changed his stab to sweep and continued to attack Zhao Hui.
"Liao Hua, the knife is coming."
Zhao Hui didn't take Dong Zhuo's long lance hard this time, but skillfully turned around to avoid it, and shouted at Liao Hua not far away.
"Coach, go on."
Because of the heavy Mo knife, Zhao Hui had to save his physical strength, so he asked Liao Hua to help him hold it when he went out to fight.
