Method 2, the soldier who climbs lower can temporarily retreat, but he cannot land directly, but even if the rope is cut by the defenders on the city wall, the soldier will not fall to the height of the fall.

Such a soldier only needs to climb hard at the original height, and no longer climb high.

Because it was night, the upside-down soldiers would give the enemy defenders on the city wall a false impression, and make them mistakenly believe that the besieging troops were still desperate to use the climbing rope on this wall to attack the city.

At the same time, Zhang Long retreated to the back and asked the soldiers waiting there to push up the improvised well that had been made in advance.

Anyone who has played the Glorious Three Kingdoms should know the appearance and function of this siege machine.

To put it simply, a well is a platform that can be pushed by soldiers in all directions, level with the city wall, for the archers in the army to stand and suppress the defending archers on the enemy wall.

This kind of siege equipment, the most afraid is the catapult in the city, as for firearms such as rockets, if Jin Jue asks his subordinates to build it seriously, it will not be a threat at all.

In the final analysis, Xi'e County is only a small county seat, not the county seat of Nanyang County, it is conceivable that the height of its city wall is very low.

……

Before the night raid began, Zhang Long had already ordered the craftsmen in the army to build this kind of simple well that did not require too high a height, and it only took one day to complete the production.

In fact, not only him, but even Ma Han and Zhao Hu also built two siege equipment before attacking their respective target counties-Jing Yan and siege vehicles, siege vehicles, and Zhang Long's army also had them, but he judged that the current situation did not need this siege equipment at all, so there was no order to drive the siege troops to fight.

When the well was slowly approaching the city wall, and the four wooden wheels made a rumbling sound as they marched, the soldiers of Zhang Longbu in the corners of the two city walls in the northwest and southwest also immediately launched a silent stealing operation.

When the soldiers pushed the well only five steps away from the city wall, they finally stopped, and the soldiers who operated the well hurriedly stuck the wooden wheel with stones, and then the archers climbed up the platform of the well along the wooden ladder.

"Brother, what the hell is that?" As soon as the defenders at the head of the city saw the monster that roared from the darkness suddenly appear in front of them, some people asked in surprise.

"Who knows, reinforcements haven't come yet?"

"Listen to the voice, the brothers on the north and south walls are already in a hurry to rush this way? I just don't know if the brothers in the east will be able to arrive in time? ”

"Tun Chief, aren't there still a hundred people in the hands of County Magistrate Du? Our few people are not enough to stuff the teeth of the enemy troops under the city? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? You kid have sharp eyes, look at where the city came down to the army? I just killed one, how do you think that person is wearing a bandit's clothes? "The supreme commander of the western city wall at this stage, a tun commander, asked strangely to the small soldiers beside him.

At this time, the defenders chatting at the head of the city did not know that they were not far from death.

None of the people in the small place have seen much of the world, and even in the daytime, not many people in the entire Western City can recognize this siege weapon, not to mention that it is still in the middle of the night when there is no moonlight.

At this time, he was supervising the battle against Du at the head of the city, and he was very anxious at this time, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't think of any way.

Du attack, Zixu, Yingchuan Dingling people. Its ancestors were all famous figures in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During the period of the Young Emperor, Du Xi fled his homeland in order to escape the war and came to Jingzhou.

Because of his family background, Liu Biao treated him as a guest.

Because of his outstanding talent, Fanqin, a native of the same county, was called a genius by Liu Biao several times.

At this time, Du Xi persuaded his friend, saying: "The reason why I came to Jingzhou with you is only to escape the war for the time being, and I live here in seclusion to wait for the appearance of Mingjun. Could it be that you have always thought that the Jingzhou pastor is the master of the chaos that should be brought away by heaven, or that there are elders who advise you to work for him? If you always show your talent in front of Liu's surface. Then, from today onwards, I will break off my friendship with you! ”

After listening to Du Xi's words of persuasion, Fanqin sighed and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, Brother Xian, the younger brother just listens to you." ”

So, Du Xi, Fanqin and Zhao Yan went to Changsha County with their families.

In this time and space, in the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven.

When the news reached the south, Du attacked the three of them and fled back to the township again, and the family took refuge in Cao Cao. No matter how badly Cao Cao's reputation was defeated by Jin Jue in this time and space, as long as Xun Yu is there, I am afraid that most of the Yingchuan scholars will choose to submit to Cao Cao, of course, the Son of Heaven is in Xu, which also accounts for part of the reason.

In this way, Cao Cao appointed Zhao Yan as the head of Langling in Runan County, and Du Xi served as the head of Xi'e in Nanyang County, and Fanqin, who was degraded in the Three Kingdoms, was left by Cao Cao's side because he was very good at poetry and rhetoric, and later, he even became Cao Cao's chief bookkeeper. His official position was instead admonished by two of his friends.

Xi'e County borders Wanxian County controlled by Zhang Xiu, and is not only threatened by Zhang Xiu's army or Liu Biaojun at all times, but also surrounded by thieves around the county.

Because of this unstable situation, at that time, the governors of other counties in Nanyang County, including Qu Mao, who was appointed by Cao Cao as the Taishou of Nanyang County at this time, also chose to gather almost all the people in the county to protect the city together, so the people were not allowed to go out to farm.

As a result, in the counties north of Wan County, Nanyang County, the fields are barren, and the people have become even more miserable. The people have no income, and the county government treasury is empty.

Du Xun was different, he knew that he should be kind to the people, so he sent the old and weak in the county to disperse outside the city to farm, and left the strong men in the county to be in charge of the guard.

Even so, because Xi'e County was at the battle between Cao's army and Zhang Xiu's army, most of the original people in Xi'e County had either fled into the surrounding mountains, or had already fled to the south of Hanshui in Jingzhou, so Du Xi's men really only had more than 300 people.

It's a pity that Fu Tong dispatched the troops too early and too quickly this time, and he didn't give Du Zheng time to react in time.

Through a coincidence, Du Xian learned the news that Liu Biaojun's first division was about to attack the city of Western Hubei a day in advance.

After all, Du Xi is just a scholar, and the military force in his hands is indeed very weak.

200 of the more than 300 people were evenly dispersed across the four city walls, and Du Feng kept a hundred mobile troops in his hands.
