Early in the morning of the second day, Yuan Shaobian ordered his 50,000 troops to surround Xunyang City and attack Xunyang City.

Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, in order to avenge his good friend Wen Chou, personally supervised the battle.

Seeing that Yuan Shao sent heavy troops to attack Xunyang City, Lu Bu was not surprised.

Among the four princes, what Lu Bu was most afraid of was Yuan Shao.

Because Lu Bu's troops are insufficient, if he wants to deploy defenses in various cities in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, he simply does not have so many troops.

And Yuan Shao has the most soldiers and horses, if Yuan Shao's 200,000 army is spread out to attack, he is really not good to resist, and he can only let a few cities be given to Yuan Shao.

However, Lu Bu did not want to hand over these two counties to Yuan Shao, because in this way, Yuan Shao would be the only family.

But now Yuan Shao is full of hatred and is bent on attacking the city to vent his anger.

In this way, Lu Bu can rely on the city to attack Yuan Shao's living forces, and the most important thing is to delay time and allow the people of the two counties to transfer smoothly.

As for the other princes of the Three Roads, Liu Biao needless to say.

Before Lujiang County and Jiujiang County are not taken, there will be basically no action.

Yuan Shu's strength, with Guan Yu's defense, is not a problem at all.

As for Cao Cao, Lu Bu was even less worried.

This cunning guy will never attack the city with all his might.

This guy will definitely pretend to attack the city, but in fact he is hiding his power and waiting for the last minute to pick a bargain.

Therefore, among the princes of the Four Roads, what Lu Bu was most afraid of was Yuan Shao's 200,000 army.

Now seeing that Yuan Shao actually took the initiative to attack the city, Lu Bu was relieved.

……

Under the city, an army of 50,000 surrounded Xunyang City.

The army pushed the stone-throwing carts outside the city, and the ordinary soldiers began to transport stones to the front line, preparing to use the stone-throwing trucks to open the way first.

The ancients attacked the city, and they were not so stupid, they stupidly climbed the city wall with only a ladder.

Such a hard attack is too heavy to kill and inflict casualties.

As a result, the ancients invented heavy siege equipment.

The stone-throwing vehicle was a kind of siege equipment that was more popular at that time, which threw stones into the city, consumed the living force in the city, grinded the enemy's blood, and hit the morale, which had a very great effect.

Stone-throwing trucks?

Seeing Yuan Shao's soldiers pushing out the stone-throwing cart, Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer.

The last time the people's soldiers attacked Shouchun City, Lu Bu once made a batch of new stone-throwing trucks outside Shouchun City.

However, because of the infighting in Shouchun City, they entered Shouchun City at night, and the new stone-throwing truck did not come in handy at all.

Those stone-throwing trucks were all transported to Xunyang City.

Since Yuan Shao wants to use a stone-throwing car, let them try the power of the new stone-throwing car first.

So, in Xunyang City, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to set up the new stone-throwing carts one by one and prepare the stones.

When everything was ready, Lü Bu did not order the soldiers to attack immediately.

Instead, when the Yuan Shao soldiers under the city were almost ready, they pushed the stone-throwing carts one by one to a position very close to the city wall.

At this time, the catapult was still relatively primitive and had a short range.

Therefore, it was necessary to be very close to the city walls in order to shoot stones into the city.

But in this position, all the bows and arrows in the city can be obtained!

In order to push the catapult to this position, the soldiers must be pushed through it with a huge shield and a rain of enemy arrows.

However, Lu Bu did not order the arrows to be released.

Because the opponent has shield soldiers, even if they release arrows, they can't shoot a few soldiers.

In that case, there is no need to fire arrows.

When the opponent's catapult was in place and was preparing for a test launch, Lu Bu waved his hand and ordered the catapult in the city to attack decisively!

Outside the city, Yuan Shao sat on top of a luxurious carriage covered by a canopy, and in front of him was a case with various delicacies and wines.

Yuan Shao wanted to watch the miserable end of Lu Bu's army and use it to accompany the wine.

Seeing that the stone-throwing truck was about to shoot at the head of the city, and the army of Lu Bu in the city would be smashed, Yuan Shao couldn't help but pick up the wine and put it to his mouth!

The next moment-

Rumble!

Suddenly, countless stones poured down from the city, and these stones were facing the stone-throwing cart below.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In the loud roar, the stone throwing trucks under the city were hit by the stones thrown from the city, and quickly fell apart and fell to the ground.

The soldier who was operating the stone-throwing truck next to him was immediately killed and injured.

With just one round of projectiles, most of the stone-throwing trucks under the city were smashed.

There is no way, Lu Bu's new stone-throwing car is full of accuracy, and it is definitely not comparable to Yuan Shao's original stone-throwing trucks.

……

The scene in front of him directly made Yuan Shao dumbfounded!

How did things suddenly turn out like this?

Shouldn't it be my rock-throwing truck that throws rocks into the city and smashes them with a lot of?

How come all of a sudden, my rock-throwing truck is smashed?

Yuan Shao, who was watching from a distance, was stunned, not to mention the soldiers operating the stone-throwing cart under the city, and he was scared on the spot.

And the stone throwers on the ramparts were not idle, and after the first round of shooting, the second began immediately.

As a result, after two rounds, the stone-throwing truck under the city was basically reimbursed.

More than ninety percent of the soldiers operating the catapult fell in pools of blood.

The remaining soldiers who did not die in the catastrophe immediately turned their heads, crawled with rolling belts, and fled in a hurry with the speed of lightning and the jingle of the bell.

I just hate that my parents didn't give birth to eight legs for him!

This scene made Yuan Shao, who was watching from a distance, so angry that he almost vomited blood, and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"Siege! Besiege! Give me all the strength to siege the city! ”

Yuan Shao gave the order to attack the city, and his soldiers did not dare to slack off.

They set up ladders and ran in the direction of the city wall.

At this time, the catapult in the city was thrown again.

The improved new type of stone-throwing car can throw four or five stones at once, and the accuracy is extremely accurate.

Shoot at a crowded place, and if you shoot down, you can hit at least a dozen soldiers.

The stones are already hard, combined with the elasticity of the stone-throwing carts, plus the height of the city walls.

The stones whistling down are simply life-seeking talismans, and they are really touching death and bruising.

The most terrible thing is that it is scary, seeing the stones flying all over the sky, the soldiers of Yuan Shao, who is the besieging party, were frightened and trembled, and they scurried around.

Yan Liang had a black face, and slashed several soldiers who turned around and ran away, which barely stabilized the scene.

Fortunately, it seemed that there were not many stones in the city, and after a few shots were fired in succession, they stopped.

The next thing to greet the besieging soldiers was a flood of arrows.

Yuan Shaofang's soldiers suddenly fell like straw in pieces.

As a besieging party, you have to bear this kind of loss, and there is no way to do it.

Under Yan Liang's supervision, Yuan Shaofang's soldiers braved the rain of arrows and desperately approached the city.

Eventually, ladders began to be erected over the walls.

Although it was quickly overthrown to the ground, it has to be said that this is a good sign.

Next, more and more ladders began to be erected up to the city walls.

Yuan Shao, who was watching from a distance, his eyes lit up.

Lu Bu, your time of death has come!
