Withdraw, of course, it's too late, after all, even if the trench is really flooded, in terms of the depth of the trench, it is impossible to drown people, but don't forget, Pound has already sent a large number of crossbowmen to wait on it, and some Jingzhou soldiers saw the river flowing in, and they didn't think much about it, and instinctively climbed out of the trench, but they were greeted by cold arrows.

"Damn it!" Li Yan watched a large number of Jingzhou soldiers being harvested like grass by the other party, standing on the city wall, but he couldn't do anything, and smashed his fist on the women's wall in anger.

"General, as soon as the trenches are lost, I'm afraid the Guanzhong army will attack the city!" A Jingzhou general looked worriedly at the Guanzhong generals who quickly put the floating board on the trench and began to advance to this side, and said with a worried face.

"Prepare for war!" Li Yan waved his hand hatefully, the other party's men and horses did not rush to attack the city, but with the help of floating boards, began to chase and kill the Jingzhou soldiers who fell into the water between the trenches, and at the same time began to carry the siege equipment in the rear to this side, Li Yan also knew at this moment that it was not the time to feel sorry for the loss, under his command, a large shield stood on the female wall of Wancheng.

This big shield is based on the shield wall used by the soldiers in Guanzhong last time when they fought in Tiger Prison Pass, and the defense is extremely strong, and a row of test shots arranged by Pang De can't shake this big shield at all, let alone shoot through.

"Hey, I'm glad I was prepared!" Looking at the big shield standing on the city wall, Pang De sneered, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him carried out more than a dozen special giant crossbows.

Different from the God of War crossbow or broken army crossbow taken out in the previous pass, this time the giant crossbow is similar to a ballista, there is a four-corner frame under the crossbow body, and a wooden wheel is installed below, and the crossbow machine itself has only a thick and long crossbow arrow, the shape of the arrow is very special, it is compressed by four pieces of iron, and an iron ring is installed at the end of the arrow, which is connected to the rope, and the crossbow machine is also accompanied by a winch, which is wrapped around a circle of ropes.

"Put!" As the soldiers finished adjusting the direction, Pang De gave an order, and fifteen crossbow carts fired at the same time, and arrows as thick as children's arms broke through the air, and the distance of two hundred steps seemed to not exist, and it was almost instantaneous.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

Li Yan could feel that the city wall under his feet seemed to be shaking, and then the shield wall-like shield was easily shattered by the crossbow arrow at this moment, and then after the special arrow penetrated the big shield, the four pieces of metal on the arrow suddenly bounced away, like a hook claw.

"Pull!"

Before Li Yan could figure out what was going on, Pang De gave an order, and dozens of sturdy soldiers began to pull the winch, and the big shields on the city wall were pulled down one by one.

"Shoot the arrows!" Pound couldn't help but laugh at this, and with a loud shout, the crossbowmen who had already prepared quickly began to rain arrows at the city, while fifteen ballistae began to shoot at the large shields in other sections.

In two hours, the big shield that originally thought that it could block the strong bow and crossbow in Guanzhong was almost all pulled away, and the city wall was completely exposed to the attack range of the strong crossbow in Guanzhong, although the Jingzhou army also had a crossbow designed by Zhuge Liang, but first, the number was limited, and the volume was huge, and there was no way to put more, and secondly, Zhuge Liang's crossbow was more used for fire suppression, and the range was not to mention the Guanzhong giant crossbow, even if it was an ordinary crossbow, it was far longer than the opponent's range.

"General, what now?" A Jingzhou general bent his waist, hiding under the female wall, looking at Li Yan and said sadly, without the defense of the big shield, under the suppression of the crossbow in Guanzhong, they couldn't even raise their heads, and the city tower behind them was already full of dense clusters of arrows, in this case, let alone guarding until Liu Bei came back from fighting Jiangdong, it was a question whether they could hold it today.

"Newspaper~"

A lieutenant hurriedly crawled over from the city wall on the other side: "General Qiyu, a large number of Kwantung troops have appeared in the direction of the north and west of the city, look at the banner, it is Wei Yan and Hao Zhao's soldiers and horses, and they are storming the city at this moment!" ”

The words of his subordinates made Li Yan's face pale, and a pound had already overwhelmed him who was about to suppress him, and now Wei Yan and Hao Zhao had also joined the battlefield, and the failure of the big shield made all the defense plans prepared by Li Yan completely meaningless.

At this time, all the tricks and tricks have become bullshit, Li Yan doesn't even know how to survive this day, the Guanzhong soldiers did not immediately attack the city, the three city walls are oppressed by strong crossbows, constantly wearing down the morale of the defenders, Li Yan knows that this is waiting for the morale of the defenders to be exhausted, in the storming of the city, but although he knows the other party's plans, Li Yan has no way, in the face of the crossbow arrow suppression of the Guanzhong soldiers, any inspiring words are farts.

Defend the country?

In recent years, Guanzhong has spared no effort to spread its policies to the Kanto region through various channels, how to benefit the people, plus the merchants intentionally or unintentionally, Guanzhong is portrayed as a place full of gold, like Wancheng is a big city is okay, some remote counties, and even the people are eager to call Guanzhong, and with Guanzhong continues to convey the interests of the Central Plains, many families are now much less repulsive to Lu Bu, not to mention how welcome, But after obviously being hit several times by the students of various factions in Guanzhong, the sense of rejection of Lu Bu was not as good as before.

And Lu Bu's army is well-trained, and it is rare to hear of what Lu Bu has done after breaking the city, and in this situation, you can't use Lu Bu's background to inspire everyone's hatred and hatred, right?

Compared with the scholar class, Li Yan believed that Lu Bu, who was born in the army, was more likely to get the affinity of the soldiers, and for a while, Li Yan was a little desperate.

The next day, Guanzhong still did not carry out a strong attack, or suppressed it with bows and crossbows, and the morale of the defenders in the city had already been wiped out by such a crushing attack for two days.

"If you don't fight, I won't fight, you can't fight this battle!" A soldier defending the city frantically got up from the ground, threw away his weapon, and shouted and crawled down the city.

"Give me back!" Seeing this, the soldier's superior general wanted to pull him back, but as soon as he got up, he was nailed to the ground by a cluster of arrows that broke through the air.

The defenders at the head of the city began to stir, and in this all-weather suppression situation, there was no hope of winning by half a point, how could they fight?

A group of Jingzhou guards had ugly faces, and even the sluggish people reacted until now, the reason why the soldiers in this pass were just shooting and not attacking, not because they were afraid that they would not be able to attack, but because they were waiting for them to collapse on their own.

The Guanzhong army completed a day's shooting as a routine, and after leaving hundreds of thousands of arrows at the head of Wancheng, they withdrew as before.

In Li Yan's Taishou Mansion, a group of Jingxiang soldiers gathered, everyone's face was not very good-looking, although the casualties in the past two days were not large, but the blow to morale was devastating, deserters have begun to appear today, and there is more and more tendency.

"General, why don't we break through." After all, a Jingzhou general broke the dull atmosphere and looked at Li Yan with an indescribable exhaustion on his face.

"Breakout? Where to break out? Li Yan glanced at this person and said indifferently.

"Retreat to Xiangyang, the city of Xiangyang is strong, and there is also the convenience of Han Shui, which will definitely be able to block the Guanzhong army." The man was a little excited.

"What do you think of the generals?" Li Yan glanced at the silent crowd and said indifferently.

Will the crowd be silent and break through? How suddenly, Guanzhong not only has strong bows and crossbows, but also excellent war horses and elite cavalry, are you sure you can run out? That would have killed you faster.

Li Yan suddenly felt an indescribable irritability in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go back and rest, I'm afraid that tomorrow the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong should attack, and they are all ready." ”

"General, now that the general trend has gone, the lord is in Jiangdong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return in a hurry, it's better to ......"

"Humph!" Before the general finished speaking, Li Yan had already snorted, interrupted the other party, and said sharply: "The battle has not been officially fought yet, what do you want to do?" I, Li Yan, would rather die in battle than do that betrayal of the Lord's bending, give it to me! ”

When the generals heard this, they didn't dare to say any more, so they all saluted Li Yan and retreated silently.

Back to the main buckling? Li Yan's words do not make everyone agree, when the attack is made tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be the day of the city's destruction, is it really necessary to live and die with the city, so that it is called not betraying the lord?

Although no one spoke, but there was gradually a different kind of mind in his heart, not everyone can face life and death calmly, such people are a minority after all.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, the person in charge of the vigil is Liu Du, who has nothing to do with Liu Bei, who was originally the former Guiyang guard, and later Liu Bei occupied Xiangyang, under the general trend, Liu Du did not resist, the martial arts are not bad, but they have not been reused, and now they are listening to the tune under Li Yan.

On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city are all keeping vigil at the moment, and some are simply lying on the ground to sleep, for this, Liu Du did not blame, the morale has been so low at the moment, whether to keep vigil or not, in fact, there is no difference.

"Huh~"

When Liu Du was walking aimlessly on the city wall, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air in his ears, which was not dense, and Liu Du subconsciously fell to the ground.

"Pak~"

An arrow cluster without an arrow fell next to Liu Du, Liu Du breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and picked up the arrow cluster without an arrow from the ground, but saw that there was a roll of paper tied to the tail of the arrow.

Looking left and right, no one noticed here, Liu Du peeled off the paper, on the small paper, densely written a few lines of small characters, Liu Du looked at the fire after reading it, silently burned the letter, looked at the dark night sky outside the city, at the same time, not only here, in all directions, there were a large number of headless arrows flying in, some were found by ordinary soldiers, some were uncared for, and some, found by some grassroots soldiers, under the silent night, a strange atmosphere began to spread in Wancheng.
