This kind of unfocused defensive measures is obviously a stupid move for the defending side in the case of a serious shortage of its own troops in the city.

When Zhang Long's well was deployed in place, and the fifty archers selected by the army stood in two rows on the platform at the top of the well wall, it was only a matter of time before the Xi'e County that Du was responsible for guarding was breached.

"One, two, let's go!" Under the order of the archer, the fifty archers were all divided into two rows, twenty-five in the front and twenty-five, staggered the space in front and back, stood on the platform of the well, put the arrows on the bowstring, and when the commander shouted the word 'put' in his mouth, the archers in the front row of arrows were diagonally upwards about ten degrees, and shot their bows and arrows at the city wall.

Immediately after that, the archers in the front row who had finished shooting their arrows slowly took a step back, while the archers in the back row took a step forward and shot their arrows to the opposite wall in an instant, just like the archers in the front row shot arrows.

In the process of retreating in the front row and advancing in the back row, a dozen archers collided together.

After all, these Nanyang archers have been in the hands of Wei Yan and Fu Tong for too short a time, although they have already experienced experimental battles like this on the well, but because of the short time, the number of training times is too small, and this is a platform on a well-proof that is several meters high, plus it is late at night, and it is normal for soldiers to make mistakes with each other.

This is a very rough two-stage attack, Jin Jue 'invented', in fact, if Jin Jue had a heart, he could also teach those elites of the Yellow Turban Army more advanced three-stage strikes, but after careful consideration, he finally put this idea on hold for the time being.

The reason for the temporary shelving is due to three considerations.

First, the time is still too short, and Jin Jue's pace of attack has always been much faster than the plan he has made, which has made him unable to settle down and train an elite army well.

Second, the reason why the two-stage strike method, or even the three-stage strike method, has not been applied on the Chinese battlefield is not that these two combat methods are difficult, but that no one thought of it.

While the rain of arrows fired by archers is used to kill and injure their opponents, the real purpose of the second and third strikes is to prevent the enemy from attacking forward, or to prevent the enemy from organizing an effective counterattack on a fortification, such as a wall.

For example, now, in addition to the commander of the tun to give orders, no need to shoot arrows, there are only fifty archers on the well, and they are also divided into two waves of people to shoot at the enemy army on the city head, but that's it, after two waves of arrow rain, the defenders of Xi'e County on the city head have not only caused them very large casualties, but also the archers in the city head who were lucky not to be shot by the two waves of arrow rain, so that they can't even lift their heads.

Of the fifty defenders on the western wall of the city, two waves of arrows rained down, and although not many were directly shot, only five or six, less than twenty survived without being shot.

However, even so, Zhang Long did not give an order to let the soldiers who were still hanging on the climbing rope on the west city wall continue to climb up and continue to storm this city wall, because he knew that the two corners of the west city wall, and the soldiers who went to steal the city would definitely complete the task he gave him soon.

Sure enough, after another quarter of an hour, the city immediately remembered the cheers.

It turned out that at the two corners of the west wall of the city of Xi'e, the soldiers who went to steal the city, and gave 500 soldiers from the north and south, had all climbed to the top of the city.

Led by the two leading rebel leaders, these soldiers followed the passage in the city wall, one by one, raising their weapons in their hands, and followed the defenders who had just passed through here to support the western wall, and chased them up.

Defeat is like a mountain!

About two quarters of an hour later, the West City Gate was opened from the inside by the troops who had taken the lead in boarding the city wall, and Zhang Long took the lead and rushed into Xi'e County with the troops under the west city wall who had not yet boarded the city.

Unlike Luyang County, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Du Raid poured into the defenders of Xi'e County, the troops who took the lead in the city killed all the defenders on the west city wall who still dared to resist, so they were able to walk down the city wall and open the city gate for Zhang Long and them, because of this incident, they were delayed for a little time.

At this time, except for the wounded soldiers who could not pick up their weapons and fight again, the other defenders had all been killed.

After learning about this, Zhang Long not only had a deep respect for the soldiers of the defenders of Xi'e County, but at the same time, his heart for He Du was also heavier.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Du Xun did not send the reserves in his hands, the hundred defenders to support the brothers at the head of the city, but immediately ordered to escape from the south gate of the city, and then he led the team to turn west, from the west side of Xi'e County, and fled north along the city wall.

In addition to the siege army outside the west gate, Zhang Long also arranged a small army of 300 people at the east gate and the north gate in advance, and blocked the city gate outside the city to prevent the people in the city from escaping from the city.

Unexpectedly, Du Raid was very cunning, escaped from the south gate without soldiers, and went around in a big circle, so he easily evaded Zhang Long's army in advance to intercept him.

It was only after dawn that Zhang Long discovered this.

Therefore, Zhang Long immediately ordered his soldiers to search all the mules and horses in the city, and he was ready to personally lead a cavalry army to pursue Du Xun, who had already escaped from the city.

"My lord, what about the slaughtering knife used to kill chickens? The villain is willing to lead a force to pursue the dog county commander. At this moment, one of the generals under his command walked out, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Long, and took the initiative to request a mission.

When Zhang Long heard this, he looked at it, and it turned out to be a man named Jia San, who was originally a small bandit leader on Luyang Mountain, he was a native of Xi'e County, and his current military position in Zhang Long's department was the commander of the tun.

According to Fu Tong's regulations, at the current stage, the highest military position that the three Sima can appoint in their own army is the fake Sima, but if you want to hold the military position of the fake Sima in the Three Sima army, you must make the first contribution in the siege battle, or the first to give the credit of the county order. Because when he was subordinate to Zhang Long before, Jia San's subordinates were less than 500 people, so his military position and status in Zhang Long's department were not high.

In this attack on Xi'e County, the credit for Xiandeng has already belonged to the two leaders of the righteous army, Zhang Fa and Li Da, who dared to ask Zhang Long for their lives in front of the battle. Therefore, if you want to become a high-ranking official in Zhang Longbu, there is only one task left for you to go and capture Du Xian, who has escaped from Western Hubei City.
