Sometimes when you know that you are going to die, you will not be afraid even if it is dangerous.

But if you think things will go smoothly, but when you encounter a fatal danger, the original high fighting spirit will collapse in an instant, making people fear from the bottom of their hearts, and the huge gap will make people collapse instantly.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army led by Ma Er was exactly like this, although it did not flee in a rout, but it was also chaotic and did not dare to step forward for a while.

Zhang Rao didn't really want to attack the city, but at this time, seeing that the defenders in the city had a way to restrain the shield soldiers, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops and called Ma Er back from the battlefield.

After returning to the camp, Ma Zhan came to Zhang Rao tremblingly and knelt down.

"Genus... The subordinates are incompetent, please punish Qu Shuai. ”

Zhang Rao clenched his fists tightly, but let go after a moment.

He sighed, shook his head weakly and said, "It's not your fault, you go down first." ”

"Whoa."

After taking Ma Er away, Zhang Rao frowned and pondered.

I don't know how long later, he shouted outward: "Someone! ”

"Qu Shuai."

The guards walked into the account when they heard the words, waiting for Zhang Rao's order.

Zhang Rao didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Immediately send someone out to find a blacksmith to build an iron shield." ”

"Whoa."

'Can the wooden shield be burned, but the iron shield can still be burned?' This should be fine! Zhang Rao thought.

For a time, the people around Linzi City suffered an unwarranted disaster, and countless yellow turban thieves rushed into their homes to burn, kill and loot, except for the blacksmiths, none of them were spared.

It's not that Zhang Rao doesn't know this kind of thing, but the supply shortage of the leading troops is outside, and a large number of men and horses are needed to seize the city.

If the management is too strict, it will lose the morale of the army, and if it is left unchecked, it will be detrimental to its reputation, and it will be more and more difficult to go in the future, even if it wins.

So he just forbids it, and he will definitely punish him severely under normal circumstances, but in this special situation, he will turn a blind eye, so an unspoken rule has been formed, and those who have been holding back for a long time will also take advantage of this time to do evil and vent their emotions in their hearts.

However, this method is extremely effective, and the elite troops in the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Rao are all masters who are not afraid of death, and they are all desperate to kill when they start a battle.

In the next few days, Zhang Rao did not come to call the battle again, and Chu Fei was naturally happy to see it.

He first sent men and horses to secretly monitor the movements of the Yellow Turban Army, and after learning that the Yellow Turban Army had captured a large number of blacksmiths and disappeared, not only did not take measures, but was relieved, and even the number of defenders guarding the city was reduced by half, and almost all the men and horses in the city were in urgent drills.

A few days have passed, Zhang Rao's iron shield has also been completed, the strength of Chu Fei's soldiers and horses has also improved a lot, and Liu Cheng has also made a great breakthrough in government affairs, basically controlling the power of Qi County and gaining the support of famous families.

Zhang Rao once again led the troops, and Chu Fei was full of confidence.

Since Zhang Rao can't be persuaded to retreat, he can only fight with it.

However, Chu Fei did not plan to go out of the city to fight, but continued to use the advantages of the city wall to defend the city.

Jokes, there are city walls and tower defense facilities, and it is stupid to go out of the city to fight, unless there is a certainty of victory.

"Ma Er, it's time for revenge!"

Zhang Rao laughed heroically, and ordered Ma Er to lead the people of the headquarters to move forward with an iron shield again.

And that's not all, he sent five thousand foot soldiers to follow, and when he erected a ladder at the head of the city, he swarmed and took the city in one go.

Zhang Rao had already given Zang Ba time, such a long time, if Zang Ba was really what he thought, he should have acted a long time ago.

But not only did there be no movement in the city, but it seemed to be becoming more and more calm, which was not a good phenomenon.

This time he led the troops, not only prepared iron shields, but also prepared more siege equipment such as ladders.

"Kill!"

Ma Er took the order and left, shouted and stepped forward to take the lead in the charge.

Aren't officers and soldiers able to shoot flaming arrows? Well, I'll use the iron shield to see how you burn.

Zhang Rao went around arresting blacksmiths, how could Chu Fei not guess his intentions.

Rao is other party was replaced by an iron shield, and Chu Fei was not afraid.

"Archer prepare!"

Ma Er was overjoyed when he saw the archers in the city bending their bows again, as if he was about to see Chu Fei's face slapped hard.

But the next second, he was stunned again.

The flaming arrow quickly fell on the iron shield, and the moment it collided with the iron shield, a small hole was burned out of the place where the arrow fell, as if it was still a wooden shield.

The flames of the Flame Arrow Tower were not so powerful that they were not enough to burn the iron shield, but the iron heat was transferred, and the iron shield soldier who was shot was hurriedly thrown to the ground after only a moment of effort.

The next second was followed by the familiar rain of ordinary arrows.

Originally leaked flaws into the wall-like shield array, and the rain of arrows penetrated into the interior of the Yellow Turban Army along these flaws, and many people were killed by arrows.

Ma Er was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly picked up another iron shield from the ground to defend it.

Chu Fei had tasted the sweetness of shooting the thief's head before, so he specially arranged for an archer on the flame tower to greet the thief's head.

Ma Er had already thrown away a piece, and just as he was picking up the second iron shield, another rocket shot at him.

Fortunately, the first-level flame tower does not have a blasting function, if it is upgraded to another level, even if the iron shield is not hot, he will be shocked to the point that his hands and feet are numb.

Zhang Rao didn't know the power of the rocket, but he also saw his subordinates panicking.

He frowned, and then ordered: "Attack!" ”

"Whoa!"

This order ordered the Yellow Turban soldiers who were on standby on the spot also stepped forward one after another, and ran up on the ladder.

The number of Flame Arrow Towers was scarce enough to deal extensive damage to enemies, and soon the ladder was placed on top of the wall.

Ma Erxin was the first to be happy, although he was targeted, but after all, there were casualties in the team, and the discarded shields could be seen everywhere, as long as he kept changing the shield, he could ignore the opponent's rockets.

Although the result of this is that the advancing team is not easy to command, but after all, it is a siege war, so there are so many things, let them attack by themselves, and their own lives are the most important.

But just as he ran to a shield on the ground again, a sharp sword flew in, and its speed and strength were obviously much faster than before.

Linzi City not only has a flame tower, but also a more advanced second-level eagle eye tower.

Chu Fei didn't use the second-level Eagle Eye Tower at the beginning, just to let the other party relax his vigilance and kill with one blow.

It turned out that he was right, Ma Er didn't have time to guard at all, and was just about to wave his blade to resist, but the arrow had already passed through his body and landed on the ground.
