Chapter 465: An Empty City

Next, more and more cloud ladders began to be erected on the walls of Xunyang City.

The siege soldiers, like ants, quickly climbed up the ladder.

Yan Liang, who was supervising the battle not far away, watched this scene excitedly!

The defenders in the city are no more than 10,000 or 20,000 people, how can they be compared with the army of the lord?

After Xunyang City is broken, Lu Bu will be captured alive, and he will be cut with a thousand knives to avenge Wen Chou!

Yuan Shao, who was in the luxury car, drank all the wine in the wine glass excitedly, as if he had caught Lu Bu.

The next moment, the soldiers on the city wall suddenly took the iron float and poured a scoop of liquid.

When the liquid was poured on the soldiers climbing the ladder, the soldiers let out a terrible scream and fell off the ladder.

After landing, it still rolled around, letting out a terrible scream like a beast!

This scene was like purgatory on earth, and the soldiers besieging the city trembled and were covered in chaff.

What was poured from the city walls was actually boiling oil, using peanut oil.

Its practical thing, Lu Bu also felt distressed.

Now that peanut oil is expensive, how much money will be wasted if this pot is splashed?

Originally, boiling water could have a similar effect.

However, Lu Bu's use of boiling oil also has another wonderful use.

More and more boiling oil was spilled, and countless siege soldiers fell under the city walls, screaming miserably.

The creepy screams made the besieging soldiers frightened, and the rhythm of the siege slowed down all of a sudden.

However, after the overseer Yan Liang killed more than a dozen soldiers who were unwilling to go into battle one after another, the offensive of the siege soldiers became fierce again.

The next moment, countless rockets suddenly shot down from the city wall!

For a while, on the ladder and on the ground, a raging fire suddenly ignited on the soldiers who had been splashed with hot oil before.

Under the city walls, it suddenly turned into a world of flames.

One by one, the fire people who were contaminated with boiling oil and started a fire, ran like crazy, the violent sting made them completely lose the ability to think, and when they saw the people around them, they involuntarily pounced on them and hugged them tightly, taking each other as their own life-saving straw.

The innocent soldiers who were shot struggled, tore hard, and even did not hesitate to kill each other with weapons.

Otherwise, the only way left is to be burned alive with the other party!

Within two feet of the city, it has completely become a purgatory on earth.

The air was filled with a disgusting rancid smell of human being incinerated after it had been burned.

The besieging soldiers on Yuan Shao's side had completely broken their nerves and fled back like crazy.

This time, even Yan Liang couldn't stop it, so he could only let these soldiers go.

……

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shaoqi's face turned pale, and he drove back to the city without saying a word.

The first day of the siege ended in complete failure.

On the first day of the siege, more than 4,700 soldiers on Yuan Shao's side were killed and more than 2,300 were wounded.

Taken together, the number of dead and wounded was more than 7,000.

The reason why the number of dead was twice as high as the number of wounded was that Lu Bu's fire attack was too sudden and vicious.

Most of the soldiers died before they could react.

Most of the injured people are burns, and it is difficult to get better in a short period of time.

If it is inflamed, it can be life-threatening at any time.

These wounded soldiers will not only lose their combat effectiveness, but will also have more soldiers to take care of them.

And after losing the lives of so many soldiers, they didn't even touch the walls!

After the troops were collected, Yuan Shao's advisers Tian Feng and Fu Zhu once again persuaded Yuan Shao to give up the siege.

But it is clear that these two strategists are extremely rebellious in terms of strategy, but they do not understand human nature at all.

If Yuan Shao is the kind of person who can listen to people's persuasion after suffering losses, then he is not Yuan Shao.

Originally, today's siege was unfavorable, Yuan Shao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he was on fire.

At this moment, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu's dissuasion, in Yuan Shao's opinion, was clearly mocking himself.

You won't listen to us again, right? What do you think? Got a head, right?

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and the more he looked at it, the more disgusted he became!

At this time, Feng Ji and the trial did not forget to add fuel to the fire, fell into the well, and took the opportunity to lick several fires fiercely.

Yuan Shao was completely ignited by this fire, and roared angrily: "Continue to attack the city tomorrow!" If anyone dares to give up the siege again, and disturb the morale of the army, there will be no mercy! ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, sighed at the same time, and walked out in frustration.

When they met such a Lord, they were really disheartened.

……

On the second day of the siege, Yuan Shao once again threw down the corpses of more than 2,000 soldiers and returned in vain.

However, it was not without a harvest today, that is, there was a serious shortage of bows and arrows and stones in the city.

Today they simply continue to use boiling oil, it seems that they don't have much oil, and yesterday they used almost the same.

Although the casualties were extremely heavy, they were about to run out of ammunition and food, and Yuan Shao saw the hope of victory!

On the third day, Yuan Shao threw down the corpses of more than 1,000 soldiers.

But on this day, they made noticeable progress, and already soldiers touched the walls.

Although it was quickly killed, it was at least a noticeable improvement.

Yuan Shao deduced that their equipment to defend the city was already very scarce, and they had almost run out!

Day 4, Day 5, Day 6......

They can make more progress every day!

Yuan Shao believed that on the seventh day, they would be able to break the city after all!

On the seventh day, Yuan Shao's army pressed in and began a frantic siege!

But on this day, the arrows at the head of the city suddenly became fierce.

The catapult projected countless stones, causing heavy casualties to Yuan Shao's siege team.

Immediately after, boiling oil was splashed, rockets were fired, and the city once again became a human purgatory!

And this time, while Yuan Shao was retreating, the cavalry in the city actually opened the city gate and came out to slash and kill for a while before Shi Shiran returned to the city.

On this day, more than 5,000 soldiers died on Yuan Shao's side!

you, your seventh aunt!

Yuan Shao was really going to vomit blood in anger!

Did you deliberately show weakness to the enemy a few days before the co-authorship?

……

Just when Yuan Shao was already hurting and was thinking about whether to continue the siege tomorrow.

That night, Lu Bu led the defenders in Xunyang City, fought a bloody way, and fled directly to abandon the city.

Neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shao's advisers expected that Lu Bu would abandon the city and flee so quickly.

According to their estimates, Lu Bu will be able to hold out for at least five more days!

Therefore, their defenses were not strict, and they were easily killed by Lu Bu.

After Yuan Shao led the army into Xunyang City, he found that the entire Xunyang City had become an empty city, and all the materials in Xunyang City had been used up.

Many people's houses have been demolished, and there is not a single living person in Xunyang City!

This damn Lu Bu, did they even transfer the common people?

After losing the lives of more than 15,000 soldiers, all they got was an empty city!

After Lu Bu retreated to the next city, Yuan Shao's determination to attack the city was not as strong as before.
