Jiang Sheng said to the army: "The Yellow Turban Thieves' things are called catapults, and the usage is similar to that of bows and arrows, with the help of the rebound power of wooden poles, stones are thrown into the city, and they are used to smash and kill the defenders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen you see a flying stone coming, you should quickly dodge to avoid casualties. ”

Everyone was worried in their hearts, and it sounded unbelievable that the flying stones were coming to attack from the sky, but they soon saw it.

The war drums sounded in the Yellow Turban Army, and under the order, twenty catapults were loaded with stone bullets, and with a violent sound of breaking the sky, twenty stone bullets flew into the sky from the back of the Yellow Turban, and then went straight to the head of Bochang City.

Jiang Sheng shouted, "Dodge——! ”

Everyone hurriedly half-squatted behind the chopping wall, only to see the stone bullets flying overhead and falling in the city, several houses were hit by stone bullets, and a big hole was smashed out of the roof, and many people who could not avoid it were stoned to death.

Obviously, the range was long, and the defenders at the head of the city narrowly escaped.

Then the second round came, and the Yellow Turbans did not turn the winch to the end, and fired stone shells again.

This time, the range of the stone projectile was close again, and it landed before it reached the city, and the defenders escaped again, and the Yellow Turban Army was far away, and the defenders' bows and arrows could not shoot, so they could only let the Yellow Turban Army adjust the range of the catapult.

The third time, a few stone bullets were in the middle of the city, and seven or eight soldiers were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, which was unbearable to see.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army had hit this time, he hurriedly replenished the stone projectiles, and repeatedly threw stone bullets, killing dozens of defenders, Jiang Sheng was angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only let the Yellow Turban Army throw stone bullets.

After projecting twenty rounds, the drums marched, and the sword and shield soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army invited out of the chariot, which was a sharp weapon for the ancient siege of the city, and the Yellow Turban Army was transformed on the original basis, and protective plates were set up in front of the people pushing the cart, and the arrows of the defenders could not reach the people pushing the cart at all.

The sword and shield soldiers crowded the chariot to attack the east gate of the city, and the archers behind also followed, shooting the defenders at the head of the city with bows and arrows, and the catapults behind continued to throw stone bullets to cover the infantry to attack the city.

Although they had mastered the practice of catapults, the workmanship was rough and difficult to make, and the twenty catapults were soon scrapped, making it difficult to continue projecting, but their infantry had already rushed to the city.

The city gate was hit by the Yellow Turban Army's rushing car, and the dust from the city gate hole fell, and the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly ran to the city head to report.

Jiang Sheng was shocked, and ordered Xiahou Lan to be in charge of the guards at the head of the city, and he led his soldiers to arrange defenses in the east gate, and those stone bullets that fell in the city became Jiang Sheng's sharp weapon to block the gate at this time.

The soldiers rolled the stones to the city gate, piled them up inside the gate, and then Jiang Sheng poured tung oil on these stone bullets, so that hundreds of archers were on standby, next to the fire that had been lit.

Jiang Sheng also ordered the soldiers to closely monitor the movements outside the other three gates, so that if the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city from the other gates, it would be possible to deal with it in time.

Xiahou Lan saw that the Yellow Turban Army was gathered outside the East Gate, so he asked people to throw dozens of oil jars outside the East Gate and shoot them with rockets, and the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly retreated, but because they were splashed with tung oil, they did not avoid the attack of the rockets, and those soldiers screamed and rolled on the ground, and the death was terrifying.

The rushing car was also ignited and difficult to use, the Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly dragged away to avoid blocking the siege, and the second rushing car was pushed over, and Xiahou Lan concocted it in the same way and burned another rushing car.

Seeing that the siege was progressing slowly, he asked the archers to move forward and shoot the defenders at the head of the city with a dense range of arrows.

The Yellow Turbans, under the cover of the archers, pushed the third rushing cart to attack, and this time the defenders did not go so smoothly and were attacked intensively by the archers.

The city gate was broken, the Yellow Turban Army roared and poured into the city gate hole, Jiang Sheng saw that the time was ripe, and under an order, hundreds of rockets were fired into the city gate hole, and suddenly a fierce fire was ignited, the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed in front were blocked by stone bullets, and the back was blocked by the Yellow Turban soldiers who were constantly rushing in, unable to advance or retreat, and were burned alive, the east gate was blocked by stone bullets and the remains of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army was difficult to attack.

The Yellow Turban was powerful, and the cavalry led by Yu Ban and Zhang He did not dare to fight against it, and they could not help defend the city, so they simply left Bochang and went straight to the southeast of Li County, intercepting and killing Bian Xi's team transporting supplies.

After Yu Ban killed the grain protection team, he distributed the grain and grass to the people and brought the people over to transport the grain and grass away.

Although the Yellow Turban Army successfully entered Li County, Li County was a poor county, and there were not many materials in the city, and most of them were taken away, so the Yellow Turban Army left behind in Li County had to wait for Bian Xi's grain and grass supplies, but they waited for many days and did not see a grain of food delivered, so they sent 3,000 soldiers to Shouguang and Yi County to respond, but they were broken by Yu Ban and his army.

Bian Xi was greatly annoyed when he learned that the grain and grass had been robbed in the past few days, and led more than 10,000 soldiers to personally escort a large number of grain and grass north to Li County.

Yu Ban saw that Bian Xi's troops were numerous, and he didn't dare to fight, so he could only let Bian Xi transport grain to the north, and then found out that the Yellow Turban Army in Shouguang and Yixian County was only a few hundred people, so he moved outside the city at night, set up a simple ladder and quietly climbed up to the city, the Yellow Turban defenders thought that Jiang Shengjun was blocked in Bochang, but they didn't expect to be attacked, and when they found out, they had become ghosts under the knife of the official army.

In the early morning, Yu Ban informed the people that the Yellow Turban Army was busy with the war in the north and had no time to take care of this place, so the people spontaneously organized volunteers to defend the city.

Bian Xi transported the supplies to Lixian, but was told that Yixian and Shouguang had been recovered by the official army. Because the county seat has been included in the hands of the officials and soldiers, the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army did not enter the city, and they did not know the number of officers and soldiers in the city, so Bian Xi had to stay in Li County.

After three days of hard defense, the south gate was finally breached, and Jiang Sheng had no choice but to lead the army to break through from the north gate and retreat to Linji.

Zhenggu led the army to pursue, although Jiang Sheng led the army to resist to the death, but after all, he was outnumbered, defeated again and again, and when he withdrew to Linji City, there were only less than 5,000 troops left, which was the first fiasco since Jiang Sheng organized the battle, although Yixian and Shouguang had been recovered, but there was also a city without soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was very good, he took Bochang as a base and suspended the offensive, after all, the attacks for days had also exhausted the Yellow Turban Army, and they also needed to rest. Jiang Sheng's hard bone, in the case of the disparity in strength, caused nearly 30,000 casualties to the Yellow Turban Army, which made Zheng Gu secretly admire.

Although Zhang Ning was only thirteen years old, after carefully studying the art of war and tactics recorded in the "Taiping Technique", he was also resourceful, and after hearing about Jiang Sheng's achievements, he also thought that he was very profound, no wonder Zhang Baiqi finally decided to surrender.

Zhang Ning only now understands Zhang Baiqi's hard work, but he still disagrees with Zhang Baiqi's practice of entrusting himself to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng, is it worth her Zhang Ning's entrustment for life?
