Chapter Seventy-Four: A Sneak Attack in the Open

Day 3...... The third day in Ye Zhao's understanding, noon.

"My lord, the soldiers are ready, just wait for the lord to give an order, and you can send troops." Ding Li came to Ye Zhao's side and bowed.

Ye Zhao put up a pergola with his hand, looked at the sun and said: "Wait a minute, after noon, it is the period when people are most likely to be sleepy, and sending troops at this time has the best effect!" ”

took a spear from the guard's hand, plunged it straight into the ground, looked at the location of the shadow, Ye Zhao pulled out the sword, brushed the brush to make a simple dial, and clicked at about two and a half o'clock and said: "When the shadow of this spear arrives here, attack the city!" ”

Ding Li looked at the dial on the ground, although he didn't know it, it was not difficult to understand, and after nodding at the moment, he began to prepare for the siege.

In the past two days, I didn't wait here, in addition to the usual training, a large number of siege equipment was secretly transferred from Suiyang, Ye Zhao sent a large number of scouts to intercept Mengxian Tanma every day, in order to avoid being detected by Liao Chun, and make targeted preparations, those siege equipment were dismantled and liberated in the camp, although it was troublesome to assemble at the moment, but from noon to the future, this time was enough to assemble these large pieces.

Time is passing bit by bit, the official army camp looks no different from the past, it is still training, on the wall of Mengxian County, after getting through the initial tension, except for Liao Chun, Mengxian Mo said that the defenders are Yellow Turban generals like Du Yuan, and it is inevitable that there will be slackness, after all, Ye Zhao seems to be very trustworthy.

It is the most prosperous time of the day, although it is only early spring, if it is morning, the air will be a little cold, but at noon, the warm sun with the soft spring breeze negative, people's willpower will also fall into the most depressed time of the day at this time, the yellow turban soldiers defending the city one by one or leaning against the city wall, or drowsy with weapons, after all, after two consecutive days of mental tension, after gradually finding that the opponent does not seem to have the intention of attacking, no matter what the generals say, people will first follow their own judgmentIn particular, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers here are farmers who have just put down their farm tools, and they have not really grown into a qualified soldier, and this sentiment will spread faster.

Even Du Yuan, who was guarding the city wall, was infected at this moment, although he was standing at the head of the city, his eyelids were unconsciously constantly closing and then opening and then closing.

"Hmph~哧~he~ha~"

I don't know how long it took, a strange voice came from Du Yuan's ears, and in a daze, Du Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and the scene that came into his eyes was in an instant, but in an instant, Du Yuan's pajamas disappeared, and he shivered.

Standing on the city wall, looking down condescendingly, below the city wall, the black and oppressive Han army has already set up a neat formation, moving towards the direction of the city wall, dense, like an ant tide slowly advancing towards this side, less than a mile away from the city wall.

Looking further back, more than a dozen giant monsters became clear in the line of sight, among the yellow scarves of Liang Kingdom, Du Yuan was a person who had seen the world, and quickly recognized that it was a trebuchet placed in the warehouse, and it was difficult to even take it out, I don't know how powerful it is, the Han Dynasty has not had a major war for a long time, and things like catapults are even less used, and he is not from an official background, so he naturally has never seen the power of catapults.

The strange humming sound is the sound of the soldiers pushing the catapult, behind the catapult, there is also a large number of carts pushing stone bullets, although it has not yet officially attacked the city, but just this kind of formation, it is enough to be scary, the Yellow Turban Army has expanded too fast, so that up to now, there have not been a few decent siege battles, even if it is the battle of Suiyang, it is only the easier to carry the ram to the battlefield, the catapult requires some technical content, even if it is moved out, few people will use it.

Calibration, approximate effective range, this all requires professionals to operate, in the Yellow Turban Army, there is obviously a lack of similar talents, and even if there is, it is by Zhang Jiao's side, and it is impossible to appear here.

"Get up for me! The Han army is coming to attack the city, give me a warning! Du Yuan was shocked into a cold sweat, and he couldn't care about Ye Zhao's treachery anymore, the wind was rushing on the city wall, and he couldn't help but say that it was a burst of punches and kicks to the Yellow Turban Army who were still half asleep around him, waking up a group of drowsy Yellow Turban Army, and he was kicked twice by a few thorns during the period, but at this time, he couldn't care about pursuing these things anymore.

"Trumpet! Trumpet! Look, it's you! Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army in charge of playing the trumpet did not blow the trumpet for the first time, but looked left and right with a blank face, Du Yuan was almost mad, and he kicked the sleeping guy awake with a kick.

"Woo~Woo~" The trumpeter finally reacted, and hurriedly took off the horn from his back, which looked very old, and puffed out his cheeks and blew it.

The whimpering horn sound was a little muffled, but the Yellow Turban Army was obviously not suitable for this kind of regular combat, and after blowing for a long time, it failed to make too many people wake up, but it alarmed Liao Chun in the city.

When Liao Chun rushed to the city with his own soldiers, Du Yuan finally woke up the soldiers of this section of the city wall through a burst of chickens and dogs, but without waiting for Liao Chun to react, a cluster of arrows rushed towards him, making these Yellow Turban Army, who had just woken up and had not had time to think carefully, enter a human purgatory in an instant.

The mournful wail, the rolling of the soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, and the bloody breath permeated the city, the Han army had taken advantage of this time to move the battle line to a hundred steps away from Mengxian County, and when the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos at the head of the city, it was a wave of arrow rain that suppressed the position!

"Quick, notify the soldiers in the city to go to the city! Bring me the supplies I prepared to defend the city and put it on the city wall! Liao Chun frowned and watched a row of shield men with wooden shields protecting the archers and slowly moving forward, the catapults in the rear had begun to be fixed and calibrated, and the siege ladders had also begun to rush out of the Han army's formation, a trace of cold sweat came from his forehead, and the Han army took out such a strong offensive as soon as he came up, which caught him a little off guard.

As for Ye Zhao's cunning and untrustworthy, Liao Chun didn't think about it at all, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, the two armies are fighting, where does the faith come from, not to mention that he has never believed in Ye Zhao, but no matter how he guards, after all, he failed to prevent the slackness of people's hearts, and it is too late to say anything at this time, so he can only bite the bullet.
