Chapter 8: The Great Destruction of Lijiazhuang (Part II)

"Hahaha! The Blood Raven is back! Wei Tao on! ”

Guan Hai looked at the people of Lijiazhuang like a turtle with a shrunken head, ignoring the provocation of the blood crow and knowing that they were already afraid!

The leaders are afraid, why should some soldiers be afraid?

Guan Hai gave an order, Brother Blood Raven retreated to his side, and Wei Tao stepped forward to lead a thousand sword and shield soldiers, covering five hundred archers, and came to a hundred meters away from the city wall to stand up.

"Archers throw at will!"

Wei Tao drew his sword and pointed at it, the archer let go, and the bow and arrow that had already been drawn swept away towards the wall in an instant.

"Quick! Take cover! The head of the Li family generally hid under the shield held by the guards, shouting loudly.

It's a pity that these ordinary family soldiers, not to mention shields, are uneven in weapons and equipment, and less than 50 of them have shields among the five hundred people.

There are only more than forty archers, and most of them are just hunting bows, if they knew in advance that the Yellow Turban Army was coming, with the financial resources of the Li family, it would be easy for one person to prepare a wooden shield, but unfortunately there is no if at this moment.

"Quick, archers return fire! Fight back, you guys! ”

The roar of the head of the Li family has been useless, and the surrounding family soldiers have begun to become chaotic, most of the family soldiers are hiding under the wall, not daring to raise their heads or stand at all, and even a small number of family soldiers have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

After firing five waves of arrows in a row, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army finally stopped shooting under the command of Wei Tao, and Wei Tao waved his sword and shield immediately charged, ten of them dragged a wooden stake and planned to directly crash the city gate, while the rest were ready to climb the city wall by taking a ladder.

After all, the city wall of Lijiazhuang is too short to only three meters, and there is no pressure to take a personal ladder to go up!

"Quick! me up! Fight back! Hurry up! Lao Tzu told you that if the city wall is breached! It's not just our Li family that's finished! Your untouchables' homes are finished! The Yellow Turban anti-thief is a murderer who doesn't blink! If any of you want your wife, children, and parents to be killed, then you will continue to shrink! ”

The head of the Li family found that the Yellow Turban Army had been pressed, and if the Li family was breached, his Li family would be finished! Eighty percent of the savings and most of the members are here.

"Report! Report that the head of the family has arrived with 300 dead soldiers, do you want to let them out of the city to meet the enemy, or do you call them to come to support? ”

Just when the head of the Li family was about to go crazy, a soldier hurriedly came up to report, because the original order of the head of the Li family was to let the worship lead the dead soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy, but at this moment, under the attack of the arrow feathers, the soldiers of the city wall have lost five hundred people, and less than three hundred people remain, and most of them are wounded.

"Haha! Keep shooting me one more wave!! ”

Wei Tao saw that the soldiers stood up again under the order of Li Jiazhuang, and happily ordered that the sword and shield soldiers at this moment were still about twenty meters away from Li Jiazhuang, and the possibility of being accidentally injured by the bow and arrow was very small, so Wei Tao did not need to be afraid at all.

Under the command of Wei Tao, the archers passed with another wave of arrows, and in an instant, the Li family's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and most of them died before they had time to squat.

More than 60 soldiers were killed and 70 or 80 wounded.

"I'm mad at me! Pass the order! As soon as the city gate was broken, let the worshippers go out with the dead, and take advantage of their joy to catch him off guard! ”

The head of the Li family gritted his teeth and said.

After the death of half of the family soldiers, the Li family soldiers had no intention of resisting, if it wasn't for the Yellow Turban Army attacking, the family soldiers were afraid that their families would die if they were attacked, and they would have already surrendered.

Originally, there was a shortage of manpower, and after losing half of the men, and most of the people who did not die were injured, the Yellow Turban Army easily attacked the city wall.

"Bang bang bang! Bang! ”

After the Yellow Turbans stormed the city wall, the soldiers who hit the gate also managed to break through the gate after hitting it three times in a row.

In the late Han Dynasty, there was no concept of "street fighting" in people's minds at all - city gates, manors, no matter how they fought before, once the gate was breached, it basically declared the victory of the battle.

The breakdown of the defensive line would have caused the morale of the defenders to drop to the bottom, and the ensuing battle would essentially be a one-sided massacre.

With such a thought, when they saw the city gate of Lijiazhuang collapse in front of them, the hearts of the soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately excited.

According to common sense, the battle has become unforeseen in the future.

Suddenly, there was some movement on the road near the city gate of Lijiazhuang, and the three worshippers rode war horses and promised a reward to the dead soldiers behind them:

"Brethren! The head of the family said that the Yellow Turban thief exchanged a head for four and five baht coins (about equal to 2,000 yuan now), and killed the commander of the Yellow Turban thief, and rewarded 20 yuan and five baht coins! Kill the Yellow Turban General's reward of 100 taels of gold! Kill the Ruler! A thousand taels of gold! ”

The already hurried footsteps of the dead soldiers instantly quickened again, and the excitement and fanaticism in their eyes were undisguised... These people said that they were "dead soldiers", but in fact, they were all high-ranking servants of the Li family in the past, and all their desire to fight basically came from the yearning for money, so when they heard the word "gold" at this time, they suddenly rushed even harder.

And at this moment, the soldiers in front of the Yellow Turban Army were stunned, the city had been breached, but they suddenly rushed to a group of soldiers!

"They have horses! It's cavalry! ”

"Be careful!"

It was too late to react, and with a loud "drive", led by three worshippers, followed by five Li family generals, and eight war horses rushed out of the passage of the city wall, crashing directly into the soldiers in the front row!

The Li family will wear half-body light armor, except for the leader who is holding a Guan knife, the remaining two worshippers are holding a terrifying heavy weapon - a two-handed axe mace... This weapon, which is difficult for ordinary people to hold, immediately exerts terrifying power in the dense battle formation of close sprint!

And the four are at the peak of their physical training, and one of them is in the middle of physical training, and they are all holding spears.

The sound of a watermelon smashing sounded, and in the splash of blood, three people who were enshrined as arrows easily stepped on the corpses of the soldiers in the first row and jumped forward!

The soldiers who had just rushed into Lijiazhuang thought that almost victory was in sight, so their formation was completely scattered, and when they were suddenly attacked, they only felt that they rushed out of eight black mountains head-on, and when they looked up to meet the enemy, the original high morale was instantly crushed away...

The head of the enshrinement is two meters tall, and the next two enshriners and generals are all burly men over 1.8 meters, at this time they are just riding their horses forward, which is enough to give people a sense of despair that they "can't meet".

And what's even more terrifying is that the eight people are definitely not "looking goods", after the weapons in their hands were waved without mercy, the sword and shield soldiers of the second echelon to meet the enemy flew out a large area!

Although there were only eight people, when the war horse advanced, it was like a sickle ignoring the obstruction of the sword and shield - in front of the real warriors, these soldiers could really only be called "farmers", and there was no enemy at all.

The Yellow Turban Army was dumbfounded, the people in front stopped trying to dodge, and the people in the back were crowded together because of the narrow entrance to the city wall, which made some of the soldiers unable to retreat and couldn't dodge, and finally they could only squeeze backwards without their lives, trying to run away... And in this way, the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had just been strong completely collapsed.

"Kill the thief!!"

The voice of the chief's order was calm and calm, in stark contrast to the soldiers who had already begun to flee in all directions at this time—eight armored light horsemen rushed out of the passage of the city wall with ease.

And at this moment, the dead soldiers who were behind finally arrived, and almost instantly there was an illusion that the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who rushed into Lijiazhuang were forced to go back!

Guan Hai, who was standing in the rear, was completely frightened by such a scene, it felt like some kind of fierce beast was released from Lijiazhuang, and there were several soldiers in the field of vision who tried to attack these knights, but when the huge axe came, their bodies were directly smashed in a muffled sound!

The chest cavity shattered, the skull exploded, and the terrifying power of heavy weapons was vividly realized in such encounters.
