Volume 3 The Conquest of the Yellow Turban Chapter 145 Difficult to Defend the City (1)
It was noon, outside the city of Julu.
Two hours were coming in a flash, and Zhang Bao saw that the officers and soldiers did not mean to let his brother go, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare for the siege of the city.
On the city wall of Julu, Lu Zhi saw that the Yellow Turban planned to attack the city, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately issued a military order.
"Dong Zhuo listens to orders!"
Hearing Lu Zhi call his name first, Dong Zhuo stepped forward a little reluctantly, and arched his hand perfunctorily: "Dong Zhuo is here." ”
Seeing Dong Zhuo so rude, Lu Zhi was very angry in his heart, but Lu Zhi also knew that this was not the time to be angry, so he could only pretend not to see it and ordered him: "Order you to lead an army of 60,000 and garrison the West Gate, and you must not let anyone enter the city, otherwise the old man will not spare you!" ”
"Whoa!" Dong Zhuo responded weakly, and then left angrily.
Dong Zhuo was still a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhi, the handsome, but the situation was pressing, so he had to follow his orders.
"Humph!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's performance, Lu Zhi snorted coldly, and then ignored him.
Lu Zhi thought about it for a while, looked at Li Zhi, and said softly: "The virtuous nephew of Xingzhi listens to the order." ”
Li Zhi came out in response, bowed his hand and said, "The last general is here, please ask Duke Lu for orders." ”
Seeing that Li Zhi was not as proud as Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "I ordered you to lead an army of 60,000 to garrison the north gate, and there must be no loss." ”
"Whoa!" Li Zhizhi responded and hurriedly walked towards the north gate with Xu Huang, Guo Jia and Cao Cao.
Looking at the resolute Li Zhi, Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered to one of the generals in front of him: "Zhu listens to the order!" ”
Zhu, who has been keeping a low profile since he came to Julu City, immediately came out of the crowd after hearing Lu Zhi's order, and said: "The last general is here, please command!" ”
Lu Zhi looked at the grim face and ordered: "Order you to lead 60,000 troops to garrison the south gate!" ”
"Whoa!"
Zhu answered, and hurried away with his subordinate Sun Jian and others.
After everyone left, Lu Zhi looked at Huangfu Song, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who were still here and said, "The rest of the people are guarding the east gate with the old man." ”
"Whoa!" Liu Bei and the others stepped forward together and arched their hands: "We will swear to follow Lu Gong (teacher)!" ”
Another hour later, outside the city of Julu.
Zhang Bao saw that his brother had not been released, so he knew that the officials and soldiers would not compromise.
Zhang Baoyao looked at Zhang Jiao above the city, sighed heavily, and waved his hand to Guan Hai and the others on the side.
"The armies obey orders!"
Guan Hai and the others took a step forward and arched their hands: "I'm waiting here, listening to the oracle of the great sage and good teacher!" ”
Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Jiao on the city wall with a complicated face for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Siege!" The four gates of the southeast, northwest, and northwest are attacked together! ”
"Whoa!" They responded loudly, and then marched to their respective armies.
"Knock knock knock......" A rapid sound of war drums came.
On the walls of the North Gate.
Li Zhizheng is commanding the formation of the troops, and after several previous battles, he is no longer a novice on the battlefield, and has gradually understood these methods of arrangement.
It's not that he doesn't believe Xu Huang, but this battle is too important, so he doesn't dare to fake it to others.
After hearing the sound of war drums, Li Zhi waved his hand to Yang Ying on the side, asking him to prepare the things that had been arranged in the wall for a long time.
Seeing this, Yang Ying hurriedly ran to the city wall, and there were several strange arrow towers under the city wall, which were as high as the city wall.
There are a few soldiers on the arrow tower, carrying a trunk about ten zhang long, the thickness of an adult's thigh, there is a fork at the front end of the trunk, and some hemp rope is wound on it, and the hemp rope is tied with an iron chain with a few long rings, which looks quite strange.
After Yang Ying came closer, he waved his hand at the soldiers under the arrow tower: "Quickly approach the city wall!" ”
"Whoa!" The soldier responded, and immediately pushed dozens of arrow towers "squeak" towards the city wall slowly.
After the arrow tower was close to the city wall, the soldiers on the arrow tower slowly moved the tree trunk in their hands to the city wall, put the front end on the city wall, and then looked at Li Zhi, waiting for his order.
Yang Ying saw that everything was ready, so he immediately came to the city wall and bowed his hand to Li Zhiyi: "Lord Qiqi, everything has been arranged, as long as this yellow scarf comes, he will definitely suffer a big loss!" ”
Li Zhi turned his head to look at these arrow towers and nodded with satisfaction, this is just a whim of his, I don't know if it is useful or not, but it is prepared, in case it is useful, then this thing can be described as a city guarding artifact.
Just when Li knew that everything was ready, the yellow scarf outside was also ready.
Guan Hai looked at the subordinates who had already been prepared, waved his big hand, and roared: "Siege the city!" ”
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! Kill! Kill! Kill! ……”
With Guan Hai's order, countless yellow scarves carried the ladder, shouted slogans, and ran towards the city wall with a roar.
Li Zhi saw that the Yellow Turban had attacked, staring at them deadly, so nervous that his palms were sweaty.
This is the first time he has defended the city in the real sense, although he has also stayed on the city wall before, but it is all the credit of Xu Huang, and now he is going down in person, but he feels quite stressed.
When the Yellow Turban army was only three hundred steps away from the city wall, Li Zhiyi raised his hand: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”
The crossbowmen who had already prepared "squeak" opened their bows and arrows, pointed diagonally upward, and waited for Li Zhi's order.
Li Zhi raised his hand, stared at the yellow scarf, and after they got two hundred steps closer, he waved his hand down: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Buzz ......" a scalp-tingling buzz sounded, and countless arrows shot towards the yellow turban like flying locusts.
"Ah......h
"Poof!"
"Clank!"
Some of the Yellow Turban troops who were besieging the city did not react and were instantly shot by arrows; Others held their blades clanging to block and dispel arrows; There are also some who have not been shot in the vital parts, but they are also incapacitated, lying there wailing and crying.
The yellow turbans behind them ignored the shouters, stepped on their bodies, and continued to rush towards the city wall with a loud shout.
At this moment, Guan Hai squinted at the city wall and waved his hand to a person on the side, who immediately nodded and took the order.
Just as the Yellow Turbans were about to approach the city wall, a group of specially dressed Yellow Turban soldiers came from behind.
The Yellow Turbans rode fast horses, all dressed in leather armor, and they had no other blades in their hands, only a bow, but behind them were baskets full of arrows.
When these men approached the wall, they drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at the wall.
"Put!" With a call from the leader.
There was a "buzz", and a dense ...... of arrows shot towards the city wall.
Li Zhi stood at the head of the city and saw that some of them had already put up the ladder on the city wall, and they were about to let people resist.
Be careful! Yang Ying shouted, ran in front of Li Zhi with an arrow step, and blocked the arrow with the big knife in his hand.
And the guards on the side also reacted, and immediately put the big shield in his hand in front of Li Zhi, who was standing with a loud voice, to block the stray arrows that were not blocked by Yang Ying.
Li Zhi looked behind the shield, looked to both sides, and saw that many soldiers were injured by arrows, so he hurriedly shouted: "Get down!" Get down! ”
"No!" Just as Li Zhi was shouting, Xu Huang on the side shouted.
Li Zhi turned his head to look at Xu Huang, and saw that he was holding a big axe in front of him and waving it at random, and those arrows clanged on the big axe.
And after Xu Huang got closer, he said loudly to Li Zhi: "Brother, don't let the soldiers lie down at this time!" The Yellow Turban is about to attack! Hurry up and defend yourself! ”
Being shouted by Xu Huang, Li Zhimeng came back to his senses, knowing that he had made a big mistake, so he suddenly waved his hand at the arrow towers behind him.
The people on the arrow tower were not affected by the arrows because they were far away, and after seeing Li Zhi's order, they immediately put the trunk in their hands on the wall.
After the front end of the trunk reached out of the wall, several people risked their lives to take the iron rings on the trunk and put it on the ladder of the siege city.
After waiting for the set, Li Zhimeng waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Push them down for me!" ”
After hearing Li Zhi's order, the soldiers on the arrow tower behind them shouted the slogan "Hey, hey, hey", and quickly pushed the trunk forward.
Slowly, those yellow scarves who climbed on the ladder found themselves slowly leaning back, frightened, and hurriedly retreated downward, but because there were people below, there was no way to retreat, so they could only watch themselves fall backwards.
"Poof!" A bang.
"Ah......h
The ladder was pushed backwards by the trunk of the tree, and the countless yellow scarves on top of it were all pressed under the ladder, wailing loudly.
"Hahaha..."Seeing this, Li Zhi waved his hand excitedly, and laughed: "I knew that I could succeed!" ”
This is what Li Zhi found out when he fought with the Yellow Turbans a few times before, although the Yellow Turbans were numerous, their weapons were chaotic, and there was no unified blade at all.
Moreover, there are very few siege equipment, only some simple ladders, such as arrow towers, rushing cars and other large siege equipment, there is no such thing as a chance.
Li Zhi was excited to see that his whim had played such a big role, and his original fear calmed down.
As long as those ladders are abolished, and there are no other siege equipment in the Yellow Turban Army, this wall is as stable as Mount Tai!
Guan Hai outside the city saw that the officials and troops on the city wall had such a strange strategy, and he didn't know what to do, after all, there were too few siege equipment under his command.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a way to crack it, so I had no choice but to let the yellow turban step up the attack, wanting to win by quantity.
Seeing that the yellow scarf was like a tide, one was coming, and the other was repelled by himself, but he couldn't let go of himself, Li Zhi was also distressed.
Although Li Zhi used some strange tricks and was able to gain some upper hand for the time being, the time for him to prepare was too short.
Li Zhi only built more than a dozen arrow towers, and these yellow scarves were divided into hundreds of teams, with hundreds of ladders, and at this time, the soldiers on the arrow towers were already too busy.
Seeing that there were several yellow turbans, because the soldiers on the arrow tower did not push their ladder down in time, and caused them to rush to the city, Li Zhi was very anxious.
Seeing this, Li Zhi no longer hesitated, and waved his hand to a sergeant holding a big shield on the side, but he used the second killer ......
