"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

A thousand arrows departed almost simultaneously and swooped down on the city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Da! Da! Da! ”

There was a crisp crash at the head of the city. Due to Zang Ba's early order, this round of shooting did not cause any casualties. But Zang Ba's face was not good-looking, judging from the strength of the arrows falling on the city and the shield, it was completely able to bring fatal injuries to the soldiers.

"Ahh

Sure enough, when Zang Ba just had this idea, he heard a lot of screams.

He followed the sound and found that dozens of soldiers had been shot at the head of the city, and it turned out that these soldiers wanted to take advantage of the gap after a round of blows to probe out, but they were hit by a second round of blows. At a glance, you can tell that these are people who have never seen the Yuanrong crossbow and don't know that the Yuanrong crossbow has the characteristics of continuous fire.

"Pass the order, and you must not act without my order." Zang Ba blackened his face and shouted loudly.

On the siege side, Zhang Liao saw that the head of the city did not counterattack at all, so he simply ordered the Yuan Rong crossbowmen to continue to suppress the continuous shooting, and at the same time ordered the troops to attack in advance.

The one in charge of landing the city is the one thousand soldiers of the Yiding Tu cavalry, although it is really a luxury to turn the cavalry into foot soldiers to enter the city, but Liu Miao has no other soldiers to use, but in terms of his individual force of up to 55 soldiers, Liu Miao does not have to worry much, at least he will not be threatened in the slightest before he ascends the city. As for after ascending to the top of the city, Liu Miao believed that even if the soldiers of the Yiding Tucai did not ride horses, they would not suffer losses in the short-handed encounter.

The arrows of the Yuan Rong crossbowmen were almost continuous. Originally, there were ten arrows fired in a row, and the two thousand crossbowmen were divided into two groups, one group was replaced by another group to continue, and the group that finished shooting took the opportunity to continue to load the crossbow arrows. As a result, under the continuous blows of the Yuan Rong crossbowmen, the head of the city was almost completely suppressed and could not raise its head.

Dozens of ladders easily climbed the city walls, and the soldiers of the Yiding Tu cavalry began to quickly ascend the city.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the Yuan Rong crossbowmen stopped firing at the right time.

"Fight back!" Zang Ba had been listening to the movement outside, and gave the order as soon as the crossbow bolts stopped. All the soldiers stood up and shot arrows at Liu Miaojun, who was climbing the city, throwing rolling logs and stones.

Everything was in his expectation, no matter how powerful the opponent's crossbow machine was, it could only play a suppressive role, to take down the city wall, someone had to board it in the end, Zang Ba was waiting for this time. He didn't believe that the other party could be stronger than them without a sharp weapon like the Yuan Rong crossbow.

Zang Ba was right, but it was a pity that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Yiding Tuqi. The force of ordinary soldiers is as high as 55, which is even higher than the force value of some generals in Zang Ba's army. And the generals who are responsible for taking the lead have all been increased to more than 70 by Liu Miao with force, and they can completely go one-on-one with several other generals except Zang Ba.

As a result, when the first group of Yiding Turpents reached the top of the city, it did not take much time, and there were not many casualties, except for a few unlucky ones who were unlucky enough to be shot or wounded.

The first group of soldiers who ascended to the top of the city quickly took up a position at the head of the city, firmly guarded for the follow-up soldiers to keep up with and replenish.

"Quick! Drive them down! ”

This was a section of the city wall that Wu Dun was in charge of, and he shouted loudly and personally brought his troops here to reinforce him. However, this is useless, as soon as Wu Dun arrived, he was entangled by a grassroots colonel with a force of up to 74, Wu Dun's force value was only 71, and in the face of this colonel, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he could no longer free his hands to command the soldiers. The soldiers on his side have become a plate of scattered sand, fighting on their own, how can they be the opponents of the strong force and tacit cooperation of the Yiding Tucai? As a result, Wu Dun only heard the screams of his soldiers, and he knew that there were heavy casualties without looking.

Wu Dun was anxious, but there was no solution at all, the more anxious he was, the more he fell into disadvantage. He really couldn't imagine why a small soldier who came out of the opposite side could be so powerful, and now Wu Dun could only hope that Zang Ba could see his dangerous situation here and send someone to support him.

But he didn't know that Zang Ba was not comfortable at this time, after Wu Dun's section of the city wall was lost, there were several gaps in the city wall one after another, and now almost all the ladders have successfully broken through.

I can't stop it at all! Zang Ba sent all the reserves, but there were too many places to need support, and the space on the city wall was limited after all, although they had the advantage in numbers, there were still so many people who actually engaged in the battle. The most important point is that the combat effectiveness of their soldiers is completely suppressed by the other side. Even if Zang Ba is out in person, he can't change the situation.

Zang Ba couldn't help but think of Liu Miao's domineering and ruthless words again at this time, he was really able to go down in one go.

The battle situation has developed so far, and the casualty rate of Zang Ba's army is not small, and it is only a matter of time before it is lost.

Zang Ba no longer wants to prove his strength and other issues, but just hopes that the soldiers can last longer, and also hopes that Liu Miao can fulfill his promise.

"Dingding......

The sound of gold suddenly came from under the city, and then Liu Miao's army retreated to the city under the cover alternately. In fact, now Zang Bajun has no mind or strength to pursue, and almost all the soldiers sat on the ground after Liu Miaojun retreated, panting heavily.

"Big brother!"

Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Chang Xuan, and Yin Li all walked in front of Zang Ba.

"Who broke through and sent a letter to Tao Gongzu?" Zang Ba didn't think about it anymore, and decided to act honestly according to Liu Miao's script.

Acting should also be realistic, just like a siege battle, you must send someone to break through the siege, otherwise who knows if there is Tao Qian's meticulous work outside the city.

The four of them looked at each other, and then looked at Liu Miaojun, who was posing outside the city in a posture of besieging the city, but they did not speak.

Zang Ba had no choice but to order: "Sun Guan, you go, you can win Tao Qian's trust more." But remember not to show flaws, the future and fate of the brothers are up to you. ”

Sun nodded and ordered three hundred soldiers, preparing to break out of the city at night.

*********

Two days later, on the north bank of Zushui, Tao Qian Barracks.

Tao Qian gathered several of his cronies together.

Tao Qian said: "Zang Ba ambushed Liu Miao's grain fleet in Xiaxiang, but suffered a failure, and is now besieged by Liu Miao's army in Xiaxiang City, Zang Ba sent Sun Guan to break through the siege to ask me for help, what do you think should be done?" ”

Tao Qian's most trusted advisor, Cao Hong, asked: "Zang Ba has 5,000 men and horses, and his combat effectiveness is also considerable, but he has suffered such a crushing defeat, how many soldiers and horses did Liu Miao send to escort the fleet?" ”

Tao Qian said: "It is said that Zang Ba's march was not secret, and Liu Miao obtained his whereabouts in advance and ate a counter-ambush. After Zang Ba trapped and guarded the lower prime minister, Liu Miao continued to divide his troops to go, and even Liu Miao himself went to the lower prime minister's city. I just don't know if Liu Miao has drawn troops from the defense line on the other side. ”

At this time, Cao Bao said: "In the past two days, I have tentatively launched several attacks on the opposite shore, although they have failed, but it can indeed be seen that the defense on the other side is much looser than before. ”

"Good!" Cao Hong patted his thigh and said happily, "Lord, the time we have been waiting for has come." ”
