Volume 1 The First Entry into the Three Kingdoms Chapter 41 Defending the City
Deng Mao, who was almost shot off the horse by Zhang Fei's arrow, hurriedly straightened his body, ran back to his own camp, and after looking at Zhang Fei and the others on the city tower viciously, he waved his hand.
"Fill the river and attack the city!"
After the Yellow Turban Army behind him heard Deng Mao's order, 20,000 people rushed up with a roar, those with sandbags carried sandbags, and those without sandbags dug on the spot.
"Prepare ~Release the arrow~"
Liu Yi ordered, two thousand archers pulled their bows and fired a volley, "whoosh~" Thousands of arrows shot at the oncoming Yellow Turban Army at the same time, and the Yellow Turban Army who had just run to the edge of the moat had no time to throw sandbags into the moat, and they fell down one after another, but there were too many Yellow Turban Army, and there were people in front of them who fell and someone immediately went up.
"Arrow~Arrow~"
At this time, the archers on the city tower, after shooting an arrow and shooting an arrow to the city, as if the arrows do not need money, they shot quickly to the city, fortunately, Zhang Fei usually trains them more strictly, if they are replaced by ordinary archers, at this frequency of archery, at most ten arrows will be exhausted, and at this time, the archers defending the city have shot more than 20 arrows, and they are still in good condition.
Deng Mao under the city saw that Liu Yi and others in the city had such fierce firepower, and his hateful steel teeth clenched.
"Rush to Lao Tzu! Even if you use people to fill in the road, you have to fill in the road for me! ”
After hearing Deng Mao's order, the Yellow Turban Army behind them rushed to Liu Yi and the others like crazy, and at this time, everyone didn't care about digging the soil, and kicked the Yellow Turban Army who had been shot down before into the ditch.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army under the city, the people in the back pushed the front, and the front pushed those who were injured, and they rushed to the city gate without their lives. The Yellow Turban Army, who was pushed into the ditch by the people behind, was trampled down by the people behind before they could stand up, and the moat in front of the city gate was suddenly covered with blood, and the scene was very bloody.
Looking at the scene of the city besieging the city like a group of zombies, the soldiers on the city tower were a little frightened, and the movements in their hands slowed down, and the hand that drew the bow couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei pulled his neck and scolded, "What the fuck are you doing in a daze!?" Let them rush up in a moment, and we will die worse than those who fill the river! If you don't want to die, shoot hard for Lao Tzu! ”
When the soldiers in the city heard this, their eyes were red, and they didn't know what they were shouting about, so they shot arrows downward, and they didn't care about any accuracy at this time, anyway, they just shot down, and some archers didn't even look down, and they shot a lot of arrows when they pulled their bows, and they didn't shoot Deng Mao and the others at all.
When Liu Yi was shooting wildly, Deng Mao's side finally filled out a road more than ten meters wide after paying the lives of nearly three hundred soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army in front stepped on the corpses of their companions and quickly rushed up, and more than a dozen siege ladders were erected on the city wall at once, and the Yellow Turban Army under the city frantically climbed up the ladder to climb the city tower.
The heads of these ladders are wrapped with a thick layer of iron, and they are all welded with iron hooks, which are firmly hooked on the battlements of the city wall at this time, and a few people who have not worked hard were overthrown by the soldiers defending the city, and smashed a lot of Yellow Turban troops below, but after a while, the ladder was erected again, and Liu Yi sent someone to use a chainsaw to saw for a long time without effect and gave up.
At the same time, Deng Mao sent a team to attack the gate, only to see the team launch a battering ram used to break through the city gate, the so-called battering ram is actually a log more than ten meters long surrounded by two people, the front of the log is covered with an iron sleeve, and the front of the iron sleeve is a number of fist-sized protrusions.
At this time, the battering ram rushed to the city gate surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and Liu Yi saw this, and hurriedly yelled at Wang San on the side, "San'er~ You go to the city and organize the soldiers to guard the city gate, even if you die, you have to guard the city gate for me."
"Yes!"
Wang San received the order and hurriedly ran down the tower, organized a team and began to guard the gate.
Seeing that the enemy was approaching fiercely, Liu Yi couldn't defend it at all by relying on archers alone, so he turned his head and shouted at Zhang Fei, "Yide, what the hell did I ask you to prepare?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted, "It's coming soon~It's coming soon~"
After speaking, Zhang Fei took people down to prepare.
Liu Yi looked at the Yellow Turban Army who was about to climb up, and suddenly didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Cheng Yu, "Sir, there are too many enemies, we have to think of a way!" ”
Cheng Yu frowned and shouted at Liu Yi, "Lord, although the enemy's offensive is fierce, the rear strength is insufficient, as long as we hold this wave, we will definitely be able to hold it!" ”
Liu Yi didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a somewhat disengaged archer beside him, and shot at the Yellow Turban Army on the ladder with a bow, and Cheng Yu was not idle at this time, wandering around the city tower, and immediately arranged for someone to go up to the top after finding the exhausted soldiers, and he looked like a general.
Wang San under the city is also leading more than 2,000 soldiers to guard the city gate at this time, the two gates at the entrance of the city are the big iron gates cast by the Arsenal Division in accordance with Liu Yi's instructions, before the soldiers also complained that the city gate is too heavy and usually not easy to open and close, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now, if it is still the kind of wooden door wrapped in iron at this time, I am afraid that it would have been hit by the battering ram outside, because the space at the door is limited, so Wang San divided the two thousand soldiers into ten groups, a group of 200 people, and took turns to step forward against the iron gate.
The Yellow Turban Army outside the door pushed the battering ram hard and crashed into the two big iron gates, every time the defenders inside the door were knocked to a stumbling block, fortunately, the people behind even if they were pushed up, the "dangdang" impact sound made by the iron and iron collision resounded throughout the battlefield, and everyone who was shocked was instantly a little deaf, but at this time everyone understood that as long as the door was smashed open, no one could live, so the defenders in the city desperately used their bodies to resist the iron gate, it can be said that as long as there are enough people, the city gate here must be the most unbreakable place.
Just when the Yellow Turban Army was about to climb the mountain, Zhang Fei finally came back with people, only to see Zhang Fei leading people to carry up dozens of buckets of boiling water, followed by a group of soldiers carrying many javelin-like weapons.
When Liu Yi saw Zhang Fei, he shouted angrily, "What the are you still doing there?" Give me a top! ”
Zhang Fei didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly led a few people to carry a large bucket of boiling water to a ladder, several people lifted the wooden bucket and then used their waists together, and suddenly the boiling water in the bucket poured down, and at this time, the Yellow Turban Army under the ladder was scalded by the sudden falling boiling water, and fell down one after another.
"your grandma! I'll give you a boiling shower! ”
Because in the current era, fire oil is still a rare item, so Liu Yi and others can only use boiling water instead of fire oil.
Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly asked the archers to retreat and rest, and then sent the soldiers with javelins on their backs brought by Zhang Fei, these soldiers were all temporarily trained by Cheng Yu to let Zhang Fei take over, just to replace the attack when the archers were exhausted, you must know that a good archer is cultivated, and there is no one who can't come out at all for two or three years, but you don't need to throw javelins, as long as you have the strength, it doesn't matter if it's accurate or not, after all, the city is full of people, How can you shoot one or two if you throw ten.
Under Zhang Fei's order, these pitchers threw down the javelins in their hands, because the heads of the javelins were made of pig iron and the shafts were made of hardwood, so the weight was very heavy and the lethality was great, plus it was originally shot from top to bottom, under the action of gravity, many enemies in the city were nailed to the ground alive by the javelins, causing a riot in the city.
In this way, under the rotation of javelins, bows and arrows and boiling water, Liu Yi and the others kept guard until noon, during which several times the Yellow Turban Army took advantage of the gap between the pitcher and the archer to launch a fierce attack, and many Yellow Turban troops rushed up to the city tower, but fortunately, Wang San under the city came in time to support the crowd and barely held it.
After noon, Deng Mao saw that he could not attack for a long time and his side suffered heavy losses, so he was unwilling to blow the horn of retreat, and the Yellow Turban Army who was desperately climbing up the city heard the horn and climbed down again, Liu Yi and others saw this, how could they let go of this opportunity, bows and arrows, javelins rained down together, and suddenly shot the Yellow Turban Army below crying dad and mother, resulting in the last few siege ladders did not have time to retract and fled.
At this time, Liu Yi, Zhang Fei and others were standing on the city tower covered in blood, but these blood were not their own, they were the enemies who rushed up, at this time, Liu Yi looked at Deng Mao and the others who had fled away, and finally put their minds at ease, and the relaxed people couldn't care about the image, and sat on the ground like the soldiers, panting heavily.
"Finally the fuck is here!" Zhang Fei shouted while drinking the water handed by the person next to him.
Hearing this, Liu Yi looked at a few people with palpitations and said, "Today is really thrilling!" If it weren't for San'er's timely support, I'm afraid we would still be fighting hard now, and I can't say what the consequences will be."
"Yes, fortunately, there are fierce generals like General Zhang and General Wang under the lord's command! Otherwise, you may not be able to hold it today! Cheng Yu praised on the side.
Zhang Fei saw Cheng Yu praising himself, and felt a little proud in his heart, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "It's not enough to have just the two of us!" If it weren't for Mr.'s javelin and boiling water, no matter how powerful we were, we wouldn't have been able to stop so many people! ”
Just when several people were praising each other, Cui Si, who was in charge of logistics, hurriedly ran to the city tower.
"My lord! We held on?! ”
"Hold on! Fortunately, your kid's various equipment was transported in time! Liu Yi said happily.
Cui Si danced happily when he heard this.
After everyone rested for a while, Liu Yi asked Cui Si, "Si'er, you work hard, take someone to count how many soldiers and equipment we have lost this time" After Liu Yi finished speaking, he ordered the back kitchen to open the meal, and then everyone sat together and ate lunch.
After lunch, Cui Si walked into Liu Yi's account with a frown, and handed Liu Yi the notebook that recorded the loss.
Liu Yi also frowned after looking at the book a few times.
"I didn't expect that we had lost nearly 1,000 people," Liu Yi said sadly.
"There weren't many casualties before, it was the most violent attacks that caused us to die so many people," Cheng Yu explained.
"Si'er, you immediately send someone to verify the identity of these martyrs, and then each family will share some pensions, and follow us, we can't let their relatives be left unattended!"
"Obey" Cui Si turned around and was about to go out.
Cheng Yu on the side couldn't help but nod his head, and thought to himself: "What a benevolent monarch!" Looks like I'm not looking at the wrong person! ”
Before Cui Si could walk out of the big tent, he heard Liu Yi's angry roar from behind.
"Cui Si, you fucking ruined all the money of Lao Tzu's family?"
