Early the next morning, when Xun You came to the city, he was stunned.

The empty place at the gate of the city has changed at this time.

"Hansheng, what are these?" The large row of antlered horses at the front, Xun Yu knows.

But there was a strange area in the innermost part, and I saw that there were potholes, some of them were formed separately, and some of them were joined together.

"Your Majesty said it was called a trench." Huang Zhong opened his mouth and replied, these were all prepared by the soldiers overnight.

"Trenches? Your Majesty, what is this? "Xun You is confused, there are potholes here, so how can we get out of the city?

"This trench is about one man deep and about one man wide..."

"Wonderful, in this case, isn't it only our people who can shoot them, but they can't shoot us." After listening to Liu Wei's explanation, Xun You finally understood.

Moreover, the position of this trench is in the most advantageous position of the archers, and the archers in the city can also cooperate with each other to form the greatest lethality.

If your own people hide in a trench, the probability of accidental injury to the archers will become very small.

When Li Dao Guo Yan led the army to come, he was also stunned when he saw the changes in front of the city gate.

"This Liu Wei can really toss, what are these potholes." Li Dao immediately muttered.

"Liu Wei, you think that these things can block my Xiliang army, it's really a fool's dream." Li Dao immediately scolded.

After Li Wei finished speaking, he directly beat the drum and ordered the soldiers to start charging.

Li Wei's soldiers, when they came to the antlers to reject the horse, were about to destroy it, but before they could do it.

The soldiers hiding in the trenches had already begun to aim and shoot arrows.

The closer distance not only increases the accuracy of the archer, but also increases the power of the bow and arrow.

Xiliangjun didn't expect that archers would suddenly appear in this potholed place.

was immediately caught off guard and shot down a large area.

Li Dao finally understood now that in his opinion, these things were just tossing around, and there was no role for them.

That is to make his people live targets.

"Archer, shoot me." Li Wei was immediately furious, and he also ordered.

Since you can't get into the antlers for a while, let's shoot your soldiers and horses hidden outside.

However, as soon as the archers of the Xiliang Army came out, the elite soldiers hiding in the trench quickly hid in the trench.

Except for a few unlucky guys who reacted slowly, the others hid in the trenches and escaped the rain of arrows from the Xiliang Army.

Li Wei was also stunned when he saw it, is this thing so powerful?

Li Dao instantly understood the current situation.

Liu Wei's men hid in the trenches, and their own archers couldn't do anything about them, and there were antlers outside to resist horses.

But once his own people move forward, they will become Liu Wei's live target.

Xun Yu at the head of the city also admired Liu Wei's strange arrangement, which seemed simple, but ordinary people couldn't imagine it.

Looking at Xun You's eyes, Liu Wei seemed to understand what Xun You meant, and couldn't help laughing.

I thought that time was urgent, and the conditions did not allow it, otherwise two pillboxes would be built outside the city, and snipers would be equipped at that time.

"Your Majesty, with these two lines of defense, it will be difficult for the Xiliang Army to move an inch at that time." Zhu Jun looked at Liu Wei and smiled.

After listening to Zhu Jun's words, Liu Wei shook his head, "It's hard to move an inch, it's only temporary, but it's enough for me." ”

It's not that Liu Wei wants to pour cold water on himself, but that's the case.

Some things are just because they haven't been used much before, so they are caught off guard for a while, but once they are used, there will naturally be people who will think of ways to deal with them.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, this antlered horse is only a momentary fast, if the Xiliang army attacks with fire, it will be burned." Xun You nodded in response.

Liu Wei nodded, he also knew, but there was no way, originally he wanted to use barbed wire instead, but where to find it, he could only use antler horses.

Outside the city, Li Dao Guo Yan was also angry when he saw that the offensive was suppressed and could not get close to the city wall to set up siege ladders.

"He burned his antlered horse with fire." Guo Yan kept looking ahead, and said after pondering.

Li Wei also understood when he heard this, "It seems that I am really confused, and I didn't even think of this." ”

In the past few days, the offensive party has suffered heavy losses, and his own life is gone, so he is a little impatient.

"It seems that Li Dao and the others have already thought of the method of fire attack." Liu Wei said after seeing the movement of the Xiliang Army.

But there is no way to do it, the antlers are not allowed to burn when the horse is caught in the fire.

When the soldiers of the Xiliang army risked their lives to set it on fire, the large row of antlers and horses began to burn.

Seeing the destruction of these antlered horses, Liu Wei could only comfort himself, they had already played a role, and in order to destroy these antlered horses, the Xiliang army also paid a lot of price.

"Rush me." After the destruction of the Antlers, the Xiliang army once again charged.

However, when they entered the range of the trench, even if they were blocked by shield soldiers, they still suffered heavy casualties.

Liu Wei saw it, but he still felt that it was not enough, and soon he found out what the problem was.

"Use the projectile to get past the shield as much as possible." Liu Wei immediately ordered.

"Projectile? Your Majesty, what is a projectile? Huang Zhong is also very confident in his archery skills, but when Liu argues about throwing, he is still puzzled.

"Haven't you projectile the concept yet?" Liu Wei was stunned, but he couldn't care so much, and immediately explained.

Flat fire is easy to aim, but easy to block, and projectile is the opposite.

However, Liu Wei didn't care about the accuracy, anyway, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops were there, as long as there was no shield to cover them, and the arrows were shot, they could hit people.

Naturally, Li Dao also discovered the changes in the archers on the castle tower.

"These Shangdang troops are not crazy, they don't even aim at us, but shoot arrows into the sky..."

Not long after Li Wei's words fell, he soon knew that these arrows were raining hard.

Although they didn't have a good head, most of them passed the shield soldiers in the front row and shot the soldiers in the back.

"Retreat." Although he was unwilling, Li Wei knew that if he did not withdraw, the losses would only be worse.

Shangdang has two lines of defense for shooting, and his own soldiers can only become live targets, and he is helpless.

When the Xiliang army retreated, everyone cheered.

Today, the Xiliang army has not even crossed the trench, let alone climbed the city wall.

And except for a few soldiers in the trenches, there were no other casualties.

Compared to yesterday's casualties, today can be said to be a big victory.

I just don't know how long this trench will last.

After the victory of the past few days, the morale of the soldiers of the Shangdang has greatly increased.

In particular, Liu Wei's arrangement in front of the city gate made the soldiers even more admired their majesty.

Compared with the high morale of the party, the Xiliang army was demoralized.

"I really didn't expect that since this party is so tricky, now that there is an extra line of defense in front of this tower, we can't go through it at all." In the big tent, Li Dao said very unwillingly.

"Now that our morale is low and we have suffered heavy losses, it is better to suspend our troops first, and quickly inform Jia Xu of the situation here, so that he can give us advice." Guo Yan said on the side.

"Yes, Wenhe, there must be a way, let's rest for a few days, and when the morale rises, take advantage of its unpreparedness to break the party in one fell swoop."

Li Wei immediately clapped his hands and said, in the past, when dealing with foreign races in Xiliang, as long as Jia Xu offered a plan, he would conquer everything.

With a conclusion, Li Dao sent people to Luoyang when he was about to join the party.

"Your Majesty, this Xiliang army has been truce for three days, are they planning to retreat?"

"From my point of view, they are planning a way to crack this trench, I am afraid that by the next time the Xiliang army attacks the city, the effect of this trench will be minimal." Liu Yan said with a solemn face.

At this time, the Xiliang army still had the advantage of numbers, and they couldn't figure out their thoughts, so they could only respond to changes with no change.

"Haha, Wen He really has a clever plan, in this way, the defense line in front of the city tower will definitely be broken with one blow." In the big tent, after reading Jia Xu's reply, Li Wei immediately laughed.

"The shame of these days, this time I will return it to you, pass the order down, and attack the city tomorrow."
