Chapter 419: Fierce Siege

This is just a crossbow arrow, the crossbow arrow has existed for a long time, and Zhang Yu has not yet gotten out the catapult.

The main thing is that Zhang Yu doesn't need it at the moment.

Catapults are not too technical.

If you make it yourself, it is easy for others to imitate it.

When the time comes, it is not cost-effective for the other party to use it against himself.

Zhang Yu's current focus is on development, and he often responds passively, and there are relatively few active sieges.

Qiu Liju went back, so angry that his whole body trembled.

After another day's delay, more than 200,000 people will have to consume a huge amount of grain and grass.

Qiu Liju couldn't help but think about this.

Back in the big tent, Qiu Liju was extremely annoyed and had several fires.

After that, Qiu Liju asked his men to figure out a way.

"King, we can let the cattle and sheep charge into battle, and let them destroy these barbed wire." One of his subordinates suggested.

Qiu Liju did not agree or deny, his eyes kept flashing.

The cattle and sheep are their food, and without food, they will be in danger.

Although I don't know how many cattle and sheep it will cost to break these, I don't think it will be less.

Qiu Liju did not dare to oppose it openly, that is, he did not take the lives of soldiers seriously.

But he didn't want to agree, cattle and sheep are sometimes more important than human life.

Qiu Liju looked at the generals and tribal leaders below, and sighed secretly in his heart, and in the end he could only agree.

Another day passed, and on this day, they made no progress and were driven back, only to wait for the next day to continue destroying the barbed wire.

You can't move at night, because you can't see the barbed wire at night.

A new day began again, but Qiu Liju's mood did not improve, but was as gloomy as before.

This time they prepared a batch of cattle and sheep, and they were going to use them to charge the battle.

A herd of cattle and sheep was driven up by them and driven into the barbed wire.

Zhang Yu and they also appeared on the head of the city.

"They're smart, and they know how to use brutes to break the formation." Zhao Yun said.

Tai Shici on the side said: "Lord, after they break the formation, my subordinates are willing to lead the cavalry out to attack them and rush at them." ”

Dian Wei saw Tai Shi Ci asking for battle, and hurriedly said: "Lord, my subordinates are also willing to go." ”

Zhang Yu stretched out a hand to stop them and said, "It's not so easy for the Wuhuan people to break the formation, this barbed wire array is not so easy to break. ”

It's really not going to be so easy for them to break.

When the cattle and sheep of Wuhuan drove to the barbed wire, they touched the barbed wire, and under the sting, they refused to go anymore, and struggled to retreat.

Let the Wuhuan soldiers whip and refuse to move forward.

Barbed wire is a terrifying presence for them.

Although the cattle and sheep have great strength, they are also flesh and blood, and they have to pull off a lot of flesh and skin to destroy them, so they don't dare to move forward at all.

The Wuhuan soldiers were driven by a large number of people, and they almost pushed them up, but the cattle and sheep would struggle violently to escape after touching the barbed wire.

"Shoot the arrows."

Although these cattle and sheep could not destroy much barbed wire, Zhang Yu still ordered the arrows to be released.

The arrows kept killing these cattle and sheep, and the Wuhuan people felt distressed.

The Wuhuan people regard cattle and sheep more than people, and now that they are dying in batches, of course they are heartbroken.

In the end, the Wuhuan people used a relatively dense herd of cattle and sheep to rush into battle, and the cattle and sheep in front refused to advance, and the cattle and sheep in the rear would also push them forward, and there was no other way to retreat.

It's very cruel.

Zhang Yu will not show mercy and increase the output, so that their cattle and sheep will suffer heavy losses.

Wuhuan people are distressed, but they can't help it.

I don't know how many cattle and sheep were lost, anyway, the city is densely packed, and there are corpses everywhere.

Many cattle and sheep were hit by crossbow arrows and flew out, shocking a group of cattle and sheep, and sometimes the Wuhuan people could not control them, so they ran back, injuring many people.

The two sides fought like this.

Zhang Yu and the others consumed arrows, and the consumption was very huge, and hundreds of thousands of arrows were used like this.

And the Wuhuan people naturally consume cattle and sheep, and a large number of cattle and sheep are used to rush into battle.

By the evening, some of the barbed wire had not been cleared, but the barbed wire was so broken that it could no longer stop them.

After such a day passed, Qiu Liju's face was not good, and he was not happy because he had broken through the barbed wire array.

The cost is too great.

Not only did it cost a lot of cattle and sheep, but it also wasted a lot of time.

Time is life, time is money, and it is well reflected here.

Qiu Liju did not dare to waste time, and when a new day came, he immediately sent troops to attack the city.

In less than a morning, the remaining barbed wire was cleared.

There were not many soldiers and horses killed this time, but tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were pitted, which also greatly affected their morale.

Qiu Liju attacked again, and this time he could finally attack the city walls, not like before.

"Kill."

Clearing all the barbed wire, Qiu Liju attacked.

Zhang Yu at the head of the city is ready.

The Wuhuan people began to charge, and tens of thousands of people rushed over together, and the scene was very spectacular.

Thousands of horses galloping, natural blood is spectacular.

The Wuhuan people are worthy of being a nation on horseback, riding and archery first-class, rushing not far from the city wall, and a round of arrow rain will rush up.

From the top of the city, a dense number of arrows were like flying locusts.

The soldiers at the head of the city were prepared, and immediately raised their shields to block the enemy's terrifying rain of arrows.

However, it is not perfect, in this case, as long as there are some gaps, it is possible to be hit by the arrow.

Many soldiers were shot and some died instantly.

Zhang Yu and the others also began to fight back.

Fight back violently with arrows under the command of the generals.

Zhang Yu They have the convenience of the city wall, the shooting range is long, and they can also use the shield to defend.

The Wuhuan people are highly mobile on their horses, and can often avoid Zhang Yu's arrows.

The two sides attacked fiercely, and the rain of arrows tilted against each other in turns.

It is tens of thousands of arrows at a time, and the consumption is staggering.

"As soon as the cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and it's really right."

A round of tens of thousands of arrows is tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars cannot be defeated in a day.

It's not easy for Zhang Yu to go out and loot.

The fighting between the two sides was fierce, with casualties on both sides.

Zhang Yu is not in a hurry to counterattack, the main thing is to let the soldiers defend, and they will suffer from the loss, after all, Zhang Yu and they have so many troops.

And it takes time, Zhang Yu consumes it.

The two sides fought, and Qiu Liju attacked at any cost.

On the first day, the Wuhuan people suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and Zhang Yu also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Both sides consume a large number of arrows, some of which can be built and reused, and many of which are simply scrapped.

The next day, Qiu Liju increased the intensity of his attacks, and he did not stop from morning to night.

Zhang Yu's soldiers were replaced when they were tired, and they also changed several waves of people.

In the one-day battle, Wuhuan suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and Zhang Yu and them also suffered nearly 4,000 casualties.

On the third day, Qiu Liju continued to fight, and the situation was similar to the previous day.

After three days of onslaught, there was no sign of loosening on the city.

Qiu Liju's face was gloomy.
