Since ancient times, siege warfare has always been the most difficult war to fight, especially for the siege equipment is still very insufficient in ancient times, although the Eastern Han Dynasty refining pills have invented gunpowder, but the use of gunpowder is still limited to refining pills, and is not used in military aspects. Therefore, the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty mainly used ladders and catapults when attacking cities.

Because Cheng Zhiyuan was chased all the way by Liu Bei and others, and there were no craftsmen in the army who could build catapults, Cheng Zhiyuan's team could only build relatively simple ladders.

At this time, the iron hooks on the heads of more than a dozen cloud ladders had hooked to the edge of the city, and the Yellow Turban Army under the city frantically climbed up the ladder.

"Shoot me at the enemy on the ladder, everybody!" Liu Yi shouted.

After hearing Liu Yi's order, the soldiers defending the city concentrated their firepower and shot arrows at the enemy on the ladder, and the Yellow Turban Army who was climbing the ladder was suddenly shot down by Liu Yi and others' dense arrows.

You must know that although the city is only eleven or two meters high, in today's situation, most of the people who have the courage to continue to climb up after watching the people in front of them fall down and die are specially trained siegers, although Cheng Zhiyuan has also broken through several counties before, but after all, they have not undergone special training, so when they saw the first batch of people who climbed the ladder after being shot by the defenders, the Yellow Turban Army behind suddenly became timid, and the offensive of the siege slowed down suddenly.

Cheng Zhiyuan, who was standing in the distance and commanding the battle, called several subordinates around him and ordered: "Tell the soldiers, if anyone dares to stagnate, Lao Tzu will correct the law on the spot now!" Just go! ”

After receiving the order, several subordinates ran into the team to convey Cheng Zhiyuan's orders.

At this time, Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the soldier who was beating the drum and shouted, "Knock Lao Tzu faster!" ”

"Knock knock~"

The drumbeat of the war drums suddenly became urgent, and the soldiers who had just received Cheng Zhiyuan's order listened to the rapid drum beat behind them, gritted their teeth, shouted and climbed up the ladder and quickly climbed to the city tower.

"Shoot the arrows! Arrow~"

At this time, above the city tower, there was a loud roar of Liu Yi and the four of them ordering the arrows to be released from all sides.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and the huge battering ram on Cheng Zhiyuan's side was pushed to the city gate under the cover of everyone, only to see that the battering ram under the city slammed into the iron city gate under the vigorous push of dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers.

"One~Two~Boom~"

Liu Yi and others on the city tower suddenly felt a shock under their feet, many people almost fell to the ground, and the movements in the hands of the soldiers defending the city also slowed down, and at the same time, the ladder hooked on the edge of the city also trembled with the vibration of the city wall, and many of the Yellow Turban Army who did not react on the ladder fell, and some of the Yellow Turban Army who fell down fell to death on the spot, and some of them climbed low Although they did not fall to death, they were trampled under the feet of the soldiers behind before they got up, causing many people to be trampled to death, and the scene was very bloody. And those Yellow Turban soldiers who reacted in time were using their hands and feet to quickly climb up the city while holding the ladder.

The 1,000 defenders in charge of guarding the gate in the city were led by Liu Yi's military Sima, who was none other than the person who sang a duet with Liu Yi that day to mobilize the soldiers, this person was Liu Yi's guard, and was very trusted by Liu Yi.

"Give me a hard push~" Jun Sima shouted hoarsely with a big knife in his hand, and the conspicuous bandage on his head showed that the injury to the person's head was not completely healed at this time.

At this time, the gatekeeper is using his body to fight against the city gate, every time the siege ram outside hits the city gate, the door frame of the city gate will come out with a piercing creak sound and a large amount of dust will also be shaken down, because the city gate is watered with molten iron, so the shock absorption is very poor, every impact, the defenders inside the door will be shaken to a stumbling block, fortunately, the people behind can withstand it in time.

The Yellow Turban Army on the ladder took the opportunity of the soldiers defending the city to be stunned, and quickly climbed up several meters, seeing that they were about to climb the city tower, Liu Yi saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Stabilize my body for me, and shoot down those enemies who climb up!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers defending the city quickly stabilized their bodies and shot at the enemy on the ladder, but every time the city was hit, the archers on the castle tower felt their feet tremble, and the bows and arrows in their hands were not as accurate as before.

Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly ordered someone to carry up the prepared boiling water, and then poured down the top of the city gate, and the Yellow Turban Army that was hitting the city gate below was poured by the boiling water falling from the sky and shouted, hurriedly let go of the hand pushing the battering ram, and slapped the boiling water on his body in a panic, Liu Yi saw the enemy in chaos and turned around and shouted, "Where are the javelinmen!" Shoot me hard at the enemy! ”

Hearing this, more than 200 javelinmen hurriedly ran forward and smashed the stones in their hands at the enemy in front of the city gate.

Cheng Zhiyuan saw that the city gate could not be attacked for a long time, and scolded angrily, "I have never seen a city gate made of iron, and today can be regarded as a fucking long insight!" Quickly organize some shield soldiers to cover the attacking soldiers."

Hearing this, the soldier who was ordered hurriedly organized more than a hundred Yellow Turban soldiers, who picked up the wooden shields that had been thrown on the ground and rushed to the city gate, raising the shields in their hands to protect the soldiers who were pushing the battering rams.

......

The two sides fought fiercely until noon, and there were several times when the Yellow Turban Army almost rushed to the city tower, but they were resisted by the fierce resistance of Liu Yi and others.

At this time, the corpses under the city were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and the fallen soldiers on both sides added up to 15,000 people, most of the fallen soldiers were Cheng Zhiyuan's Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Yi's side only lost about 5,000 people, but this was undoubtedly not a big blow to Liu Yi and others, who were not superior in numbers.

At this time, Cheng Zhiyuan was surrounded by a lewd-looking, thin and weak person, who was usually responsible for giving advice, and retreated when he saw that he couldn't attack for a long time.

"General, the enemy in the city is so stubborn, in my opinion, it will be difficult for us to attack it at once! Now that our soldiers are tired and their morale has declined, it is better for us to withdraw our troops first, and then think about it in the long run! ”

Cheng Zhiyuan glared at the man fiercely when he heard this, and then scolded: "Want to retreat? Do you think we have a way out? Liu Bei's army behind him is staring at us fiercely, if we can't capture the city, do you think Liu Bei's gang will let us go? ”

After Cheng Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yi and the others on the city tower and said viciously: "I don't believe that their arrows haven't been shot yet!" Go and tell the generals who are leading the troops now, and if they can't take it by this evening, let them come to me!" ”

"General, you let me go? Look at my little body..."When the man heard this, the first thing he thought of in his heart was not to carry out Cheng Zhiyuan's orders, but his own life.

Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at the man expressionlessly when he heard this, and said lightly: "Usually you only know how to hide behind and come up with some bad ideas, but now it's time for you to do something for me!" ”

"This..."

Cheng Zhiyuan saw that this person had no intention of leaving, and glared at him angrily.

"Huh~?"

Seeing that Cheng Zhiyuan was angry, the man hurriedly agreed, then picked up a shield and cautiously walked into the battlefield.

As Cheng Zhiyuan said, the arrows and stones on Liu Yi and the others' side have been almost consumed after a morning of fighting, and they can no longer prevent the Yellow Turban Army from ascending the city tower, at this time, the four sides of the entire city, because of the different personal abilities of the siege generals and the number of soldiers, except for Liu Yi, the enemy attacked the most fiercely, followed by Zhang Fei's side, compared to the two, Wang San and Cheng Yu The situation is better.

"All the archers stand back and rest, and the rest take up their weapons and prepare for melee combat!" Liu Yi shouted, after a morning of commanding and fighting, Liu Yi's voice was already a little hoarse at this time.

After a while, on top of the city towers on all sides, a large number of Yellow Turban troops poured up one after another, and suddenly the sound of killing on the city tower was everywhere, and the scene was very chaotic.

......

At this time, in Liu Bei's army, which was about five miles away from Liu Yi and others, Liu Bei and Sun Fei were sitting in armor and discussing matters.

"Newspaper~"

Suddenly, there was an urgent report from outside Liu Bei's tent.

"Report to the general, Cheng Zhiyuan's army has attacked the city tower!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei and the others hurriedly stood up.

"Oh? What about the losses on both sides? Liu Bei asked anxiously.

"According to the villain's observation, Liu Yi's defenders lost less than 5,000 people, and the Yellow Turban Army lost about 10,000 people!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Liu Yi, this son really has some ability!" Tsk~ It's a pity that such a talent can't be used by me! ”

"Big brother, don't be a pity, I don't think Liu Yi is a master who can bend people, if you don't kill him today, you will definitely become the enemy of big brother in the future!" Sun Fei said gloomily.

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was suddenly a little more vicious in his eyes.

"Order the soldiers to assemble at once! After Cheng Zhiyuan's army enters the city, we will immediately attack and recapture Zhuoxian! ”

"Little brother, let's do it!" Sun Fei answered and ran out of the big tent.

......

Here in Zhuo County, Liu Yi, who was fighting with the Yellow Turban Army on the city tower at this time, was covered in blood, and couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own, and under the stimulation of adrenaline, although he was stabbed a few times, Liu Yi did not feel pain.

Just when Liu Yi brandished the ring-headed broadsword in his hand to cut down one enemy after another, he suddenly saw a short figure in front of him who was very familiar, and saw that the person could dodge the enemy's blow, and then forcefully stabbed the spear in his hand into the enemy's abdomen, and suddenly blood sprayed the man's face.

After Liu Yi cut down a Yellow Turban soldier in front of him, he looked over there carefully, and when Liu Yi saw the person clearly, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

"! Xiao Chengwu, who the fuck let you come up! ”

That short figure was none other than Cheng Yu's son Cheng Wu, at this time, Xiao Cheng Wu looked at the enemy who was stabbed to death by himself in front of him, and suddenly he was a little dazed and hurriedly let go of the hand holding the spear, and after hearing someone call him, he habitually turned his head to look back at Liu Yi.

I saw that behind Xiao Chengwu at this time, another Yellow Turban Army ran behind Xiao Chengwu with a big knife in his hand, and slashed at Xiao Chengwu's head with a big knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Yi was so anxious that his eyes were split, and he shouted while running towards Xiao Chengwu, "Xiao Chengwu, run!" ”
