Chapter 220: The Battle of Dongjun (Part II)
With Cao Cao's order given.
The soldiers of the Cao army on the city wall are also ready to fight, and the archers who are a little behind have already drawn arrows from the quiver and put them on the longbow, as long as they give an order, they can quickly shoot the arrows.
Cao Cao also looked out of the city.
For the guards in the rest of the directions, he was still very relieved.
There are only five hundred yellow turban armorers under Zhang Baiqi's command, and that is the biggest threat.
Soon.
Zhang Baiqi took the soldiers and horses to the city wall and stopped, and did not enter the range of the archers, but the soldiers and horses behind him, except for the five hundred yellow turban armor soldiers, the rest were scattered, without any appearance of the army.
Even the formation is not neatly arranged.
on this.
Zhang Baiqi didn't care too much.
He knew very well that the appearance of these soldiers and horses he recruited was just some bandits and bandits, and they were originally remnants of the Yellow Turban, but after Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban was suppressed and went back to be a bandit.
Under the banner of avenging Zhang Jiao and Zhang Jiao's descendants, and with five hundred yellow turban armor soldiers in his hands, he made these people obedient.
As for letting him train these people, he didn't have such a mind.
Besides, he doesn't know how to train soldiers.
If it weren't for some reason, maybe he wouldn't have done such a thing, after all, he wasn't very smart, but he didn't have brains to do these things that disobeyed the court.
Don't look at the majesty of the court now, but the current Son of Heaven is still surnamed 'Liu'.
Come to think of it.
Zhang Baiqi shook his head slightly, throwing away the thoughts in his mind, since he couldn't resist, he could only obey, rode a step forward, looked at Cao Cao on the city wall, and shouted: "Cao Cao, open the city gate and surrender, I can spare your life, otherwise when the city is broken, you will be killed!" ”
Although it was discussed, he was the main attack, and Zhang Miao and Liu Dai each led soldiers and horses to attack a city gate as a feint.
But if you can persuade Cao Cao to surrender, you can save a lot of things.
Cao Cao didn't know that Qin Yin personally led the army to support, but he knew very well that if it could be resolved peacefully, he would have greater certainty to deal with Qin Yin.
"Hmph, if you want to take my head, then you have to see how capable you are!" Cao Cao shouted.
Even if he knows that he doesn't have much chance of winning, but as a coach, his momentum will not be weak, not to mention, he is a military general, how can he be afraid.
"Kill~!"
Hear Cao Cao's answer.
Zhang Baiqi was not surprised, but he was not ready to continue to persuade, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, the soldiers launched an attack, accompanied by four hundred yellow turban armor soldiers.
And the Yellow Turban Armor is his hole card to break the city.
But there were still a hundred Yellow Turban Armorers left, guarding them from anything else.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
There is an order from Zhang Baiqi.
Tens of thousands of temporarily summoned soldiers rushed out in a swarm, and the yellow turban armor soldiers, who had tense faces and no expression at that moment, also pulled out the saber on their waists and rushed out of the four hundred.
A charge was launched against the city gates.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Wait until Zhang Bai's soldiers and horses enter the firing range.
Cao Cao did not hesitate and gave the order to attack.
The archers, who had already been prepared, shot the arrows in their hands without any hesitation.
Countless arrows, forming a rain of arrows, fell towards the charging enemy.
And so the battle began.
Although these arrows could not do much damage to the Yellow Turbans, they were able to damage the improvised soldiers.
looked at the Yellow Turban Armor who was under the rain of arrows, but undamaged.
Cao Cao still frowned, even if he had long known the benefits and disadvantages of the Yellow Turban Armor, but when he faced it again, he still felt very bad.
But he didn't think much about it, and continued to command the soldiers and make defenses.
One order after another was given.
The morale of the soldiers of the Cao army on the city wall has not weakened, and it is still very strong, after all, the morale of the first army still depends on the commander.
"Keep firing arrows, throwing stones, and the spearmen will step forward, and the enemy will not be allowed to step on the wall!" Cao Cao shouted.
Although the archers caused some damage to Zhang Bai's horses, they still couldn't stop them from approaching the city wall, and the people carrying the siege ladder had already put the ladder on the city wall and were ready to go to the city to fight.
Moreover, the arrows shot by Zhang Bai's soldiers and horses during the charge also caused some losses to the soldiers under his command.
But it is also because Zhang Baiqi can't command soldiers and horses, and his subordinates are all bandits and bandits, just rushing up in a swarm, even if they shoot arrows to counterattack, it will not be the same.
There wasn't much damage.
Many enemy troops climbed up the city wall along the siege ladders that had been erected.
And above the city walls.
The soldiers of the Cao army, under the order of Cao Cao, were methodical and did not have any messiness, making a defense, the archers directly approached the city wall and shot arrows under the city, and the spearmen used the spears in their hands to insert between the ladder and the city wall, and pried the ladder out of force.
There were also some soldiers who picked up the stones that had been prepared on the city wall and threw them down.
All that was needed was to stop the enemy from ascending the walls.
The four hundred Yellow Turban Armorers, who also braved the rain of arrows and falling stones, climbed the ladder and tried to force their way up the city wall, but they were hit by stones, and their faces did not change, they fell from the ladder, got up again, and continued to climb.
It doesn't look like a human being.
If a person is hit by a stone thrown from above, he will be seriously injured if he does not die, and he will be able to get up and continue to fight without any injuries.
And his face didn't change, tense, as if he wasn't the one who was smashed.
See such a strange Yellow Turban Armorer.
Cao Cao's brow furrowed even tighter.
It's not that he hasn't seen the Yellow Turban Armor, but the Yellow Turban Armor under Zhang Baiqi's command is very different from what he has seen from Zhang Jiao, and the Yellow Turban Armor under Zhang Jiao's control has an expression.
And Zhang Baiqi's command didn't have any expression, just like a machine.
Although he didn't understand the reason, he also confirmed that these were not the Yellow Turban Armorers that Zhang Jiao originally had.
One way or another.
The battle continued.
Cao's soldiers worked hard to prevent the enemy from ascending the city wall.
The two sides fought on the edge of the city walls.
With the siege of the city, the four hundred Yellow Turban Armor soldiers also tried to climb the city wall again and again.
Moreover, it was not only here that there was a battle, but also at the rest of the gates of Dongjun City, where Zhang Miao and Liu Dai each led an army and attacked a city gate.
But as the main attacker, it is still Zhang Baiqi's side.
