Chapter 569: I Was Born With This Ability What a Thing

Liang, and, Youzhou soldiers and horses are mostly cavalry, even if they conquered Guangzong before, the Youzhou soldiers who mainly attacked the city, the foot soldiers are also Jizhou people to help, and now Huangfu Song has given these people to Guo Dian, and it is clear that he wants to give credit to Guo Dian, and the generals can be said to dare to be angry and dare not speak.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is irretrievable, so I can only listen to the order and prepare to attack the city.

The next day, the Han army gathered under the city of Quyang County, and captured the county seat of Quyang from the east, west and south. Just like the previous time in Guangzong County, the Han army sent troops to guard the other side of the Qing River, once a thief jumped into the river, if he drowned, if he was lucky enough to dive and escape, then the cavalry would kill him.

The black clouds pressed the city, and there were countless flags, Huangfu Song indifferently glanced at the county town of Xiaquyang in front of him, and then shouted loudly to the whole army: "Taiping Dao chaos, disaster to the Han Dynasty, now in addition to Zhang Bao, set Quyang, the immortal merit is in front of you, gentlemen, work hard to make a common name!" ”

"Work hard to make a name for yourself!" After Huangfu Song shouted, the soldiers of the Han army heard this and echoed it, and for a while, the shouts resounded in the sky.

After that, Huangfu Song ordered the drums to attack the city, and as the drummers beat the war drums, the muffled sound of drums came out, both loud and slow. But for the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who defended the city, every blow was like a thousand pounds of heavy burden, pressing on their hearts.

The siege soldiers of the Han army, stepping on the drum, moved forward step by step, and when they reached 300 paces, the yellow turban moth thieves in the city began to accumulate arrows and shoot, as if they wanted to use those feather arrows to drive away the nightmare of the Han army.

Thousands of feathered arrows struck at the three walls of each city, and the Han soldiers shrank under the iron shield as much as possible to block the advance. Listening to the muffled sound of the arrows hitting the shield, as well as the screams of the unlucky companions from time to time, these experienced Han soldiers were extremely depressed, the Han army's bow and crossbow method was invincible in the world, but there was only one situation that would make them temporarily fall into the disadvantage, that is, siege.

After all, the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves are condescending and have obvious advantages, and their arrows will shoot farther and more penetrating than the Han army. The Han army was already in a low position, even if they shot arrows at the same distance as the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, their feather arrows would greatly reduce the range and penetration due to gravity and other reasons.

The Han army under the three city walls, after suffering more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, finally advanced to a hundred steps outside the county town of Xiayang County, and at this moment, it was finally a critical time.

Suddenly, the drums of the Han army were loud, shouting and killing, and the captains of each department raised their weapons and shouted left and right: "Raise your head...... The front row of archers shoots in a volley...... Eye shot in the middle row...... Rear Row Nasal Shot...... Crossbowmen ......"

The archery tactics they used were the experience of the Han army's countless battles. In this way, all infantry soldiers were ordered in batches to shoot arrows at the head of the city at various heights, which could not only carry out intensive strikes at the head of the enemy's city, but also ensure that they would not be accidentally injured by their own soldiers and horses due to problems such as angles.

For a while, the bowstring roared suddenly, and the arrows were like locusts, and I saw countless slender black shadows on the horizon, jumping up to the battlements, and then falling, densely covering all areas of the city.

The long-endured Han army finally took revenge on the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who robbed the Han arsenal at this moment, and they were telling the moth thieves that there is only one army in this land that will play with bows and crossbows. That army is not these moth thieves who have just picked up their weapons for a short time, but they are the Han army, which has been using bows and crossbows as the strength of the army since the former Han fought against the Xiongnu with foot soldiers.

The Yellow Turban Moth thieves in the county town of Xiaquyang County were counterattacked by the Han army, and they could not avoid it, and they were shot down in an instant. The tens of thousands of crossbow control soldiers from all over the world mobilized by the Han army almost used arrows to completely cover the three sides of the city at this time, and it seemed that they would not give the moth thieves a chance to fight back at all.

"Quick...... Fast...... Ascend ...... Kill the thief ......"

"Take the city...... Kill the thief ......"

"Arrows...... Suppressing ......"

……

All kinds of shouts spread one after another after the Han army's bows and crossbows successfully suppressed the yellow turban moth thieves at the head of the city. I saw that the siege team of the Han army, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed to the city, erected ladders, set up crossbows, and rushed to the door, all three of which were carried out at the same time.

For this siege, Guo Dian's preparations were extremely sufficient, and even the ladders he ordered to be made for the Han army were extremely sophisticated.

There is a hook on the ladder, which is tightly attached to the city wall, so that the Han soldiers do not have to worry about the ladder being pushed down by the other party, and the material of the ladder is extremely hard, and the ordinary stone cannot smash the ladder.

Under the constant cover of archers and crossbowmen, the warriors of the Han army who first reached the head of the city held long knives in their mouths, held crossbows in one hand, climbed side by side with one hand, and moved neatly and agilely like apes.

This time, although the Han army was besieging the city on three sides, the Han soldiers on the east and south sides had just come from the Zhou division, and their original Jizhou infantry Duhuang Fu Song was transferred to Guo Dian's men, so naturally the siege force was clumsy, and the soldiers were few and tired, so naturally they could not expect them to have many results on the southeast side.

The three-sided Han army, the first battle was the most imposing, and the greatest result was naturally the main force of the siege of Huangfu Song, Guo Dian's subordinate counties and states of Jizhou, nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses.

"Kill ......" the first Han soldier to climb the city, fire crossbow arrows, shoot a person, and then take out the long knife in the mouth, jump in with the knife, and want to kill the enemy, but before his feet landed, more than ten spears came from all directions, killing him.

"Kill ......" voice shouted, and another person came up, and the way of death was the same as the previous one. The Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, who have reached the end of the road, have burst out of their last will to survive at this moment, they are facing a dead end, and there is no way to retreat, only to fight to the death.

Under the west of the city, the Han army gradually surrounded the west city, countless Jizhou soldiers climbed the city to kill the enemy, and fought for the glory of their Jizhou people, as more and more people climbed the city wall, the two sides launched a fierce fight on the battlements.

This scene, in fact, is not only in the west city, in the east and south of the city, although the foot soldiers of the Han army in these two places are insufficient, but there are still many Han soldiers who go to the city to fight with the Yellow Turban Moth thieves.

Of course, compared with the number of yellow turban moth thieves in the west city, the yellow turban moth thieves in the east and south of the city are obviously much less, which can make the Han army in the east and south of the city have the possibility of landing in the city when the number of troops is small. Although Zhang Bao was trapped in Quyang County, he was not a mediocre talent, naturally before the war, he observed that Guo Dian's troops had increased greatly, and Guo Dian gave Zhang Bao a nightmare that the lone army almost broke the city, which made Zhang Bao very jealous of Guo Dian, so he deployed a lot of troops in Xicheng. Therefore, the head of Xicheng City, under the command of Guo Dian, is the most numerous and fierce battlefield on the entire battlefield at present.

The sky is still blue, but it is brought out by the smoke of gunpowder, and on the head of the county town of Xiaquyang, all kinds of shouts and killings continue, and every minute and every second, many people fall to the ground. They were either trampled to death directly at the head of the city, or pushed to the city to die, in short, at this moment, if you want to live, the only way to survive is to fight, kill the enemy around you, otherwise, it can only be you fall by yourself, and finally die, this kind of juncture, it is basically difficult to live after falling to the ground.

There is a good saying, life and death are just a thought, and now, life and death are only in whether you can fight!

In the rear of the Han army, Fu Quan stood on the side of Huangfu Song, looking at the county town of Xiaqu in the distance, and was immediately attracted and shocked by this wave of operations of the Han army.

Frankly speaking, although he has experienced a lot of major battles in his life, the siege station of hundreds of thousands of people like today, especially this is completely filled by human lives, and it is a complete long-range and infantry branch of the Han army, working together to fill it with human lives, and taking the city at all costs.

"Liuchuan, fortunately, the bet contract was not completed yesterday, otherwise, the servant would lose today!"

Huangfu Song was obviously in a very good mood, as could be seen from his sudden joke. Think about it, the Yellow Turban Moth Thief was attacked by the Han Army in the first wave of onslaught, and was put on the head of the city by the Han Army, which shows the strength of the Moth Thief in the city of Xiaquyang County now.

Even if they can withstand the Han army's offensive and drive away the Han army's soldiers who have landed in the city, it is obvious that if the Han army has the first time to enter the city, there will be a second one, and the offensive will definitely be more fierce. However, as the Yellow Turban Moth thief defending the city, in the case of insufficient food, the soldiers did not have enough sustained strength, whether they could maintain such a high-intensity battle and withstand the offensive of the Han army all the time, it is really doubtful.

"Huh?" Fu Quan replied suspiciously, and then followed Huangfu Song's gaze and saw the battle on the head of Xicheng City in Quyang County in the distance. When he saw that the five people he praised yesterday were commanding the soldiers and horses to enter the city, he finally understood what Huangfu Song meant, and at the same time, in his heart, he also had a trace of inexplicable hostility towards Guo Dian, who was under the city of Xicheng and could only attack Xicheng with soldiers and horses.

This person is too thief, he made a situation for the five people at will, and he was ready to have a chance to win him over in the future, so he even made him take care of it. Fu Quan didn't think that the five young military marquis, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang, Gao Lan, and Zhu Ling, could have so much energy to convince Sima of the Jizhou Lieutenants and let them serve as the first-line commanders of the siege.

Obviously, only Guo Dian, a giant deer Taishou, can rely on his official position to subdue those people when Jizhou Assassin Shi is away, which means that Yan Liang and the other five people are obviously supported by Guo Dian to have the opportunity to attack the city today.

It seems that after today, these five elite generals in Jizhou should be famous in advance of history, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. However, he could have sent someone to test a wave, thinking that although Guo Dian was reusing them, the trust was not high, otherwise he would not have let the five of them, and only led hundreds of people from his headquarters and other generals as the first-line siege team.

Fu Quan thought so in his heart, of course, if he was replaced by Guo Dian, Fu Quan felt that maybe he would directly assign thousands of soldiers and horses to each of these five people, and let them take turns to break the city regardless of casualties, which was much more effective than letting these five people command hundreds of people in the headquarters. However, it is not easy for Guo Dian to reuse these five people so much, after all, the information gap between the two is still too big.

"I really don't know why your vision is so poisonous? These five generals will be the 'five tigers' of Jizhou in the future! Looking at Yan Liang and the other five people, at the head of Xiaquyang City, leading the troops to fight to the death to capture the city, Huangfu Song sighed, for a famous general like him, there is still an upper limit for identifying whether the general has a future, and he said the "Jizhou Five Tigers", which is obviously a very high evaluation of Yan Liang and the other five.

"I was born with this ability, what a way!" Fu Quan ignored Huangfu Song's somewhat jealous and angry gaze, looked at the county town of Xiaqu in front of him, and said in a slow tone, very pretended.

Isn't this nonsense? Zhang Guoliang can comment on the Three Kingdoms, evaluating Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang, and Gao Ran as "Hebei Four Court Pillars", plus a Zhu Ling who Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are very fond of, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the essence of the Jizhou Army in the future.

Under the head of the city of Xicheng, another wave of the Han army's offensive came to an end, hundreds of Han soldiers who climbed to the head of the city, except for a few people who jumped from mid-air and were injured in time before the Yellow Turban Moth thieves burned the ladder with fire oil, the rest of the people, and almost all of them died in the city, and were wiped out by the Yellow Turban Moth thieves on the West City, relying on the advantage of numbers.

The strong smell of blood, permeating the entire Xiaquyang County, mixed with sweat, and the rough sound from time to time, made the entire battlefield seem extremely simple, but cruel, because everyone who was fighting at this moment was either dead or alive.

After counting the soldiers under his command, and seeing that his five hundred soldiers had lost nearly half of them at the moment, less than three hundred, Yan Liang was furious, shouted left and right, and ordered the soldiers to find a new ladder and buckle the head of the city, and at the same time ordered the crossbowmen to suppress the head of the city.

These soldiers were all trained by him, and most of them were fellow villagers in the same county of Jizhou, and their feelings were excellent, and now they have lost so much, how can they not make him angry? What's more, this battle is probably yesterday's famous general of the Han Dynasty young emperor, Yangdu Hou Fuquan's appreciation of him, Guo Dian actually let a small military marquis like him participate in the first line of siege, if he can't seize this opportunity, then don't think about promotion or marquis in the future.

As for seizing the opportunity, there is no doubt that the only way to lead the troops to the head of the city is to take the city first. Therefore, no matter what, Yan Liang knew that in this battle, he would die, and he would also take Xicheng, otherwise, he might as well die in the city.

For example, today, with Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang dead, although there are still many remnants of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in the Northern Taiping Road, there is no doubt that they can become famous, and only Zhang Bao is left to be promoted. The rest of the people are obviously too far away from Zhang Bao, who is known as the "Digong General".

Therefore, unless Yan Liang is willing to slowly waste time to improve his qualifications, then he can only work hard now, and the opportunity will be here, and he will not come back if he goes. This point is also very clear to Wen Chou, Zhang, Gao Lan, and Zhu Ling, who are under the city at this moment.
