Chapter 64: Yingchuan, Begin the War

After discussion, Cao De, Cao Cao, Zhu Jun, and Xu Shu finally decided to storm Yingchuan City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This day, early in the morning. Cao De, Cao Cao, and Zhu Jun led 30,000 soldiers to the north gate of Yingchuan. At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan City was also prepared accordingly.

Cao De, Cao Cao, and Zhu Jun were at the forefront of the whole team, Zhu Jun was in the middle, Cao Cao was on the left, and Cao De was on the right. The three of them and three horses quietly looked at Yingchuan Castle, which was high and deep. On the Yingchuan city wall, Zhang Mancheng also stared closely at the three horsemen standing in front of the opposite military formation. Not far behind the three of them stood three large flags. "Zhu", "Cao", "Cao", the three flags were blown by the wind and hunted.

Just when Zhang Mancheng was nervously staring at the opposite team. Suddenly, starting with the first three horsemen. The entire army on the opposite side gradually split into three parts. Correspondingly, the three-pole flags that were originally gathered together also dispersed with the team. The middle one is the "Zhu" flag, and both sides are the "Cao" flag. Suddenly, the big flags with the word "Cao" on both sides of the column shook respectively. The original 30,000 horses were divided into three parts, and the parts on both sides immediately drove in the direction pointed by the banner.

Zhang Mancheng, who was at the head of the city, saw it and shouted: "It's not good, the official army is going to surround three and stay one, come and tell the other city gates to take strict precautions." "No!" A herald behind Zhang Mancheng immediately ran out.

On the part of the officers and soldiers under the city. Only Zhu Jun's subordinates were left at the north gate, Cao Cao took people to the east gate, and Cao De took people to the west gate. Wait for Cao Cao and Cao De to leave. Zhu Jun immediately ordered, "Beat the drum and attack the city." "The moment the drums sounded. A thousand sword and shield men raised their shields and slowly moved forward, and behind them were a thousand siege soldiers carrying ladders. The drums sounded twice, and the sword and shield men in the front immediately accelerated, and soon entered the range of the bows and arrows of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side. A few seconds later, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city shot out their feather arrows one after another under the order of Zhang Mancheng. Although the Yellow Turbans were numerous, the archers were very rare, and even the bows and arrows held by the archers were mostly poorly made, barely able to get the arrows to the feet of the opposite side.

Although the arrows shot down from the city are scarce, they will still pose a certain threat to the besieging Zhu Jun army. However, the attacking Zhu Jun army was, after all, a well-equipped officer army, so although many people were wounded, not many died directly. Soon the sword and shield men finally rushed to the city, and the sword and shield men raised their shields above their heads to block the bows and arrows shot from their heads.

Zhang Man, who was at the head of the city, saw that the officers and soldiers under the city had already arrived under the wall, and ordered the stones to be returned. Suddenly, a much denser rain of stones than the rain of arrows just now fell from the city to the heads of the sword and shield men under the city. Many of the sword and shield bearers under the city walls could not see because of the shields they were carrying, and the stones falling from the sky were smashed to the ground. Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers were shot by the archers of Zhu Jun's army when they leaned out of the city and were still stoned, and then the corpses that were still warm fell on the heads of the axemen under the city wall along with the stones.

Soon after, a thousand siege soldiers carried ladders to the city walls. One by one, the ladders were erected at the head of the city, and then the siege soldiers bit their weapons in their mouths and climbed up the ladders with their hands and feet. When a siege soldier with a weapon crawled halfway, he suddenly felt how the ladder under him was shaking, and he looked down to see a defensive barrier composed of dense shields below. When he looked up, he found a terrifying scene, the ladder was propped up from the top of the city by the Yellow Turban military poles. As the ladder was pushed farther and farther away from the city, the siege soldier could no longer control the balance of his body, and with a scream, he fell from a height of five or six feet onto his own person. Immediately smashed the shield array, which was already full of loopholes, into a big hole.

One of the most brutal siege battles began.

As the saying goes, there is a hundred secrets and one sparse. Soon, one of the siege soldiers finally jumped onto the head of Yingchuan City. But soon his body fell from the city. Gradually, more and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city. But that's more with less, after all. As a result, the siege soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city soon turned into corpses and fell from the top of the city.

Zhu Jun, who had been fighting in the rear, saw that the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and the battle at the head of the city was not going well. Immediately ordered Mingjin. Soon, the golden sound of retreating troops resounded throughout the north gate of Yingchuan. The rear team of the siege troops under the city changed to the front team, and slowly retreated under the protection of the sword and shield hands. The besiegers who were lucky enough to climb the city walls were also fortunate enough to be turned into corpses and thrown off the city.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army defending the city had repelled the attack of the officers and soldiers under the city, a fierce cheer broke out.

Just when Zhu Jun ordered Mingjin, Cao De and Cao Cao also arrived at the West Gate and the East Gate at the same time. When the two men arrived, they immediately ordered the siege of the city. When the siege troops under Zhu Jun's department had just retreated to their own position. The west and east gates of Yingchuan Castle began to stage the friction between knives and flesh almost at the same time. However, the situation at the west gate and the east gate is not the same as at the north gate. When the attack was frustrated, both Cao De and Cao Cao ordered their troops to retreat. The first battle came to an end. At the North, West and East gates. The besieging officers and soldiers each threw down three or four hundred corpses and retreated one after another.

And when Cao De and Cao Cao ordered the troops to be withdrawn, there was another earth-shaking shout from the north gate of Yingchuan. The camera pans to the north gate of Yingchuan City. I saw that the retreating siege troops had launched another attack on Yingchuan. As last time, there were still 1,000 sword and shield men in front and 1,000 siege soldiers behind.

The attacking contingent of two thousand men soon again came within range of the archers on the opposite wall. However, this time, there were far fewer arrows from the city than the last time. Soon, the attacking force of 2,000 men stepped over the corpse of the previously dead Korze. Rushed to the bottom of the walls of Yingchuan City again. Then, take the ladder step by step.

However, this time, the siege soldiers of Zhu Jun's army stood at the head of the city for a shorter time. Soon, the attacking force of 2,000 men left behind more than 300 corpses, which again and then retreated.

At the north gate of Yingchuan, Zhu Jun launched two attacks in succession within three hours, both of which ended in failure. However, Zhu Jun still did not retreat. Only, let the troops who participated in the siege return to the large camp. Just as the soldiers withdrew from their camp and headed for the camp to the north. Zhang Mancheng stood on the head of the city that had been stained red with blood, and saw that nearly 4,000 people had left the official and military camp opposite. Zhang Mancheng's heart tightened, could there be any conspiracy. But Zhang Mancheng has been staring nervously at Zhu Junjun's actions for two full hours. There was no movement in the slightest.

Just when Zhang Mancheng had just relaxed the taut strings a little. The sound of drums of the attack was heard from below the city.

This is the third attack launched by Zhu Jun. And Cao Cao and Cao De at the East Gate and the West Gate. But it happened to be the time when the second attack was blocked and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Similarly, Cao De and Cao Cao each had a team of nearly 4,000 men left the military formation and walked in the direction of the main camp.

By this time, it was already approaching dusk. But to the north, east and west of Yingchuan Castle. The three teams of Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and Cao De did not take a break and return to the camp because it was getting late. Instead, he directly buried the pot in front of the Yellow Turban sergeants at the head of the city. Except for some necessary garrisons, the rest of the soldiers lay down and rested immediately after they had eaten their fill.

And Zhang Mancheng, who was on the city wall, was really afraid that the officials and troops outside the city would have any conspiracy, so he did not send troops out to test it while the other party was eating and resting. Although, the Yellow Turban Army in the city also took advantage of the time to eat and rest outside the city, and also hurriedly filled their stomachs. However, because of the other party's actions, he did not get any rest. The spirit is always tense.

It was getting dark. Cao De looked up at the dark sky. After the math, the time is about the same. Immediately the order was given to extinguish all the torches, and all the drums of the whole army were beaten. Almost at the same time, deafening drums rang out on three sides of Yingchuan Castle. At the same time as the drums were beating, the Yellow Turban Army, which had been on guard on the city wall, immediately looked like startled birds. All kinds of voices rang out over the city. Not long after, the three sides of Yingchuan City still resounded almost at the same time.

It's just that because Cao De and the three of them had already ordered all the torches to be extinguished, the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city didn't know how many people rushed to the opposite side. However, the soldiers attacking outside the city saw the situation clearly because of the dense fire torches on the city.

It's pitch black. The Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city was in addition to the deafening sound of drums, shouts of killing and chaotic footsteps. Nothing to see. Only an experienced old man can judge where the opposite person has rushed to, and let the arrow go for defense.

Zhang Mancheng at the head of the city saw this scene. I can only tell myself that I can't panic. Then listen attentively to the voice coming from the other side. Finally, Zhang Mancheng, who was sweating profusely, finally judged that the opposite side had entered the attack range, so Zhang Mancheng immediately ordered the arrow to be released. A rain of arrows flew down the city. And just when the archer has just shot one arrow, the second arrow has not yet drawn the bow. Suddenly, the whole city fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

Zhang Mancheng snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of an archer next to him. He took a precious rocket, lit it on a torch at the head of the city, and shot it with all his might. At the moment when the rocket landed. Zhang Mancheng seemed to see that within a few convenient steps of the rocket landing, there did not seem to be a single figure. And the bows and arrows in Yingchuan City were already very rare, not to mention even rarer rockets. So it was simply impossible to create a lighting net made of rockets in front of the city walls.

This scene is not only happening at the North Gate, but also at the East Gate and West Gate at the same time.

Throughout the night, the officers and troops outside the city launched three such attacks. The Yellow Turban Army in the city can't go up and down. The next day after dawn. The officers and soldiers outside the city were still lined up outside, but the Yellow Turban Army inside the city was like frosted eggplants, one by one drooping their heads listlessly.

Although there were 60,000 or 70,000 Yellow Turban troops in Yingchuan City. Zhang Mancheng is also well aware of the combat effectiveness of his army. Therefore, Zhang Mancheng had to defend with all his might. If the officers and troops outside the city only attacked one city gate, it would be easy to say. If you arrange the shift, you will not be afraid of the officers and soldiers outside the city making ghosts. However, now three of the four gates of Yingchuan are surrounded. Zhang Mancheng had to divide 60,000 people equally among each city gate. However, in the afternoon yesterday departed 6,000 officers and soldiers. Zhang Mancheng is estimated to be ambushed outside the south gate. Just wait for the Yellow Turban Army in the city to hold on and escape from the city. and then swarmed up and surrounded the Yellow Turban Army to death. Therefore, Zhang Mancheng never had the idea of escaping from the south gate at all, which would only make him die faster.

In fact, there were no ambushes at the south gate of Yingchuan City. The soldiers who had returned to the camp had gone back to rest. Replacing the 10,000 horses that had been in trouble in the middle of the night last night, they continued to confront the Yellow Turban Army in the city. Now the three official armies outside Yingchuan City have less than 20,000 horses.

When the army was about to leave the camp to attack Yingchuan. Xu Shu divided the army of 30,000 into three teams. Each team is divided into three. The first was responsible for the siege during the day. When it was dark, I went back to the camp to rest. The second team harassed Yingchuan in the middle of the night. After a wave of harassment, he immediately returned to the camp to rest. At this time, if Zhang Mancheng could send an army out of the city to test it, he would find that there were actually only more than 2,000 officers and soldiers outside each city gate. And the 2,000-strong officer army is the third. The task of this team is to harass the Yellow Turban Army in the city as much as possible after the second team retreats. The Yellow Turban Army in the city cannot be allowed to sleep and rest. And when the sky was about to dawn, the first team and the second team took over and the third team stood outside Yingchuan City. The third team went back to the camp to rest.

The next day was spent in the siege. Although on several occasions the officers and soldiers were able to enter the city, before the siege, the attacking troops were ordered to run under the city walls with their shields in hand, stay for a while, and then run back. So, in the course of the whole day the next day. The officers and troops outside Yingchuan City launched four or five waves of attacks that were not offensives. And the Yellow Turban Army in the city was accustomed to the fast game played by the officers and soldiers outside the city throughout the day, and directly ignored the opponent's attack. But just when it was getting dark. The officers and troops outside the city launched a final assault. When the ladder of the officers and soldiers outside the city reached the top of the city, and some soldiers still climbed it. The Yellow Turban Army on the city wall panicked and hurriedly picked up weapons to defend. But just when the Yellow Turbans defending the city were preparing to counterattack. The besieging officers and troops ran again.

Soon, the next day's night gradually fell. Zhang Mancheng looked at the dying Yellow Turban soldiers at the head of the city and said secretly in his heart: "As long as there is a real attack tonight, I will be finished." 'For the sake of his own life. Zhang Mancheng had to force an order that no one should sleep, and that he had to keep an eye on every move of the officers and soldiers outside the city. At this time, most of the Yellow Turban Army in the city had not closed their eyes for two days and one night. Although some people took a break between the attacks, the atmosphere of the big battle and the tense spirit made it difficult for people to rest.

In order to continue torturing the Yellow Turban Army in the city. The officers and troops outside the city launched two more bluff attacks that night, and then died down in the second half of the night. The second attack was in the middle of the hour.

The time is gradually coming. And the officers and troops outside the city did not harass them for more than two hours. Finally, the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city secretly leaned against the city wall to squint for a while, but his tired body made him fall into a deep sleep after a few seconds.
