Early the next morning, Yan Liang left only 3,000 old and weak to defend the city, and led all the remaining troops with a total of 20,000 people to Yewang City, although he was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's order, but Yan Liang could only respect the order.

Because he really has nothing to say, so Yan Liang directly ordered to attack, because Yan Liang personally supervised the battle, the soldiers all rushed forward desperately, and fought hard to attack the city, looking at this formation, Yan Liang's heart was still relatively satisfied, now the morale in the army is high, the military discipline is strict, plus his own number is several times that of the other party, Yan Liang feels that there is really no reason for his side to fail.

However, it didn't take long for Yan Liang to feel that something was wrong, because the progress of the army was extremely slow, or even none, because all the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were hacked to death.

Yan Liang saw clearly under the city, Xun You assigned the five generals under his command to the four directions, Chang Chun, Zhang He, and Gao Ran each guarded one side, Pan Feng and Mu Shun guarded one side together, and in the core of the city tower, only Xun You and a young general sat in command together.

Although there are not many soldiers in the city, the other party distributes the soldiers very reasonably, and the ratio of troops is almost fixed, ensuring that there are people in every post, and at the same time ensuring that there will never be two people in each post that only needs one person to guard, the soldiers guarding the city perform their duties, calmly respond to the battle, such a bearing, such an orderly, such accurate staffing is breathtaking, Yan Liangrong has never met such a commander in his life, and he can't help but sigh.

"I really didn't expect this Xun You to have such a skill, it seems that I really underestimate him, such a defense is simply impeccable."

Yan Liang smiled bitterly, he really met an opponent this time, whether it was martial arts or the talent of commanding the army, he was not confident, and he was confident that he could fight with the opponent for three hundred rounds in terms of martial arts, but this talent of commanding the army felt that the gap was not a little bit, because if he thought about it from another position, if he stood in that position, he would definitely not deploy all this so finely.

In fact, Yan Liang didn't know that although Xun You's own command ability was indeed not bad, in fact, it was actually Hao Zhao who really carried out the specific scheduling and distribution, that is, the inconspicuous young man next to Xun You, and even Xun You now admired this young man, because this young man was so powerful that he could do this, Xun You believed that even if he was on his own, he might not be able to do it so well.

Under these circumstances, Yan Liang had no choice but to order the army to suspend the attack, set up a camp not far from the city, and then ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and make ladders to make it more convenient for the soldiers to attack the city.

However, when the ladder was made and began to attack, the other party ordered to wrap the feather arrows in oilcloth, light them and shoot them down with a bow, and in an instant, they saw that the ladder they had worked so hard to make fell into a sea of fire and was burned clean, and even the sergeants on the ladder were burned to death, and this time Yan Liang lost hundreds of people.

"There is such a strange method, I am also convinced, how is this Xun You's brain? I was able to come up with such an idea. ”

This is not to blame Yan for being convinced, because there has never been such a practice as releasing rockets in history, and Hao Zhao's actions are really a genius-like idea.

Yan Liang saw that he couldn't make a plan, so he ordered the soldiers to make a rushing car, preparing to hit the city gate, and find a breakthrough from here to attack the city.

However, when he worked hard to build the car and push it to the city gate, he didn't expect Hao Zhao to send someone to tie a stone mill with a rope and throw the car to the car, but all the cars were smashed.

"This, this, is there such a means in this world? I've seen it. Yan Liang sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that he still underestimated the other party's response, and as a result, not only did he lose more than 100 soldiers and more than a dozen hard-earned rushing cars, but the two days were also consumed so meaninglessly.

Later, Yan Liang ordered the creation of a well, shot arrows into the city from a high place, and observed the movements in the city.

"I think you can crack it now?" Yan Liang sneered in his heart, this method can almost be said to be incomprehensible, his own soldiers are condescending, and there are various protective facilities on the well, generally speaking, they can only cause damage to the enemy, but the enemy army is helpless against his own side at all.

However, it is surprising that the legendary catapults were developed among the enemy forces, and these catapults were used to accurately hit the wells and smash them to pieces.

This made Yan Liang not have any temper, because this item was a high-tech that Yan Liang's army did not have, and this kind of high-tech was specially used to restrain Jing Lang, and he could only blame himself for being unlucky and actually encountering this kind of artifact.

In fact, Yan Liang didn't know that this high technology was taught to Xun You by Pei Qing, Pei Qing knew that Yewang City would face a strong attack by the enemy sooner or later, and in this case, the catapult could be used to attack the city or defend it, which could come in handy, so he drew a drawing, which was quickly transmitted to Xun You, and asked him to make a catapult according to the drawings.

Xun You got the picture after the joy in his heart, did not dare to slack off, immediately searched for the skilled craftsmen in the army, according to the drawings to make the catapult, after the production of the night came to the range of the catapult, the next day at dawn under an order, these catapults together force, directly Yan Liang worked hard to build the well to a pulp.

"I really didn't expect that many methods would not work, and since this is the case, I have to implement the last method." Yan Liang smiled bitterly, and then said: "I hope this method works, otherwise I will really be helpless." ”

Yan Liang's last solution was to dig tunnels.

The so-called digging tunnel actually has two purposes, one is to dig through the passage through the city, and order the soldiers to enter the city directly through the tunnel, and the other purpose is to destroy the foundation or pillar of the city wall, causing the city wall to collapse, so as to facilitate the ground army to attack, no matter which purpose, as long as the tunnel is dug successfully, it will greatly increase the probability of breaking, so this is a common and extremely effective means of siege.

However, over the years, there have been many military experts who have been committed to preventing such means as digging tunnels to attack cities, and they have summed up many such experiences, so digging tunnels is actually a technical job.

It is precisely because of this that digging tunnels is a last resort and requires taking risks, and Yan Liang has no way to use this trick.

But it turned out that Yan Liang's move was still too reckless, and Hao Zhao, who was good at city defense, quickly saw the other party's purpose, so Hao Zhao ordered the soldiers to dig a horizontal ditch, and when the enemy dug a tunnel to dig a horizontal ditch, it was exposed, Hao Zhao ordered people to pour hot soup, and in an instant, only a wail could be heard inside, and many soldiers were scalded.

After getting the news of the defeat, Yan Liang couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "I've done my best, the other party is too strong, with such an impeccable defense, even if the good at attacking the city arrives, I'm afraid they will be helpless." ”
