"The general will order, the army will attack the city!" Zhu Jun pulled out the sword at his waist, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Zhang Mancheng's 'Zhang' character general flag at the head of Wancheng City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The general has an order! Besiege!! The heralds galloped on their horses and conveyed Zhu Jun's orders to the queues everywhere. After receiving Zhu Jun's instructions, more than 100 strong men with **** upper bodies waved heavy drum hammers and shook the sky with more than 100 big drums.

Accompanied by the thunderous drums, rows of Han soldiers wearing heavy scale armor shouted neatly trumpets, stepping on neat steps and surging forward. The cold iron armor and heavy shield intertwined into a solid wall, and advanced towards the walls of Wancheng. After a while, the armies on the east, west and south sides had advanced to a distance of less than a hundred steps from the city gate, and Zhang Mancheng at the head of the city could even see clearly the Han soldiers who hid their bodies behind their shields at the forefront.

Zhang Mancheng also drew his long sword and shouted at the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him: "The official army is the most brutal and tyrannical, after the first battle in Yuzhou, the official army beheaded all the captured Yellow Turban soldiers, so if you don't want to die, don't let a Han army climb to the top of the city!" Soldiers, shoot these dog officers and soldiers with arrows to Ben Shuai!! ”

"Instigation~~"

Under the command of several commanders, there was a messy sound of breaking the air from the head of Wancheng City, and countless scattered arrows shot down from the city tower. These archers were trained in just a few months, and although they didn't have the ability to shoot at a hundred paces, they could at least skillfully complete the bow and shoot arrows, using the number to make up for the difference in accuracy.

"Sword and shield hand vertical shield defense!!" Under the city tower, Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, the former Taishou Chu Gong of Nanyang, and the new Taishou Qin Jie of the imperial court in Nanyang, commanded tens of thousands of troops respectively. Seeing the chaotic rain of arrows shot by the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city, he immediately commanded the sword and shield men in the army to take precautions.

The Han saber and shield hand placed the heavy shield in his hand on the top of his head, and in an instant, a strong shield had been connected together, forming a solid wall, and the chaotic arrow rain that poured down shot rapidly, and in countless muffled sounds, the big shield of the sword and shield hand was already full of feather arrows, but the Han army sword and shield hand hiding behind the big shield was shot except for a very small number of unlucky ghosts, but there were not too many casualties.

"Keep shooting!"

On the city tower, Zhang Mancheng's shouts did not stop, and thousands of archers did not care about the stock of arrows, and it only took a moment of effort to shoot the only dozens of feather arrows in the quiver beside him. Seeing that there were no casualties among the Han saber and shield men under the city tower, these Yellow Turban soldiers who had not yet completed their mentality change couldn't help but panic.

"Don't panic! The arrows in the city are piled up, you just shoot these arrows down, Ben Shuai still doesn't believe it, can they still rush up against the rain of arrows? Zhang Mancheng saw that the quiver beside many archers was empty, and immediately asked someone to transport another batch of quiver filled with arrows from the city.

In any case, the current war has just begun, and Zhang Mancheng doesn't want the archers he has worked so hard to train to pick up his sword and act as the cheapest ordinary Yellow Turban Army.

In the Han army formation outside the city, Zhu Jun's expression did not fluctuate much, for a battlefield general like him, this kind of rain of arrows of the Yellow Turban Army is not worth mentioning at all, and the long sword waved and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on the general's order, let our army bow crossbowmen, press the front line to shoot!" ”

"The general has an order, the crossbowmen come forward and shoot!!"

The herald waved the flag in his hand and informed the drummer behind him of Zhu Jun's order.

The drummer was informed by the herald, and the drum beat changed to convey Zhu Jun's general order to the generals and colonels in the front line command with the sound of drums.

"Crossbowmen come forward and shoot!"

In an instant, the loud shouts of the Han army generals resounded through the Han army's formation, and the elite crossbowmen of the Han army, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran to the front of the formation, and then lined up behind the shield wall of the sword and shield soldiers. The longbow and crossbow have already been held in their hands, and the sharp arrows have been placed on the strings, as long as the officer gives an order, these elite crossbowmen of the Han army who have been trained for several years will not hesitate to show the sharpest fangs.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, due to the fact that it had just experienced decades of war, the national strength was far less than that of Qin Shi Huang's heyday when he unified China. Faced with a strong enemy in the north, the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty was unable to fight against it for a long time. It is even more impossible to go out of the Northern Expedition and expel the Xiongnu. After the efforts of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the reason why the Han army was able to resist the Huns' southward march every year was that the crossbowmen inherited from the former Qin were definitely indelible heroes.

"The archer is in front and the crossbowman is behind, ready~" The generals of the Han army raised the swords in their hands above their heads, and under the scorching gaze of the crossbowmen, they slashed down coldly, "Release the arrows!" ”

In an instant, countless flickering wolf tooth feather arrows burst through the air, relying on a powerful power to break through the barrier of the air and let out a piercing scream, sweeping through the sky and flying towards the head of Wancheng City in an instant, and then pouring down like icy killing raindrops.

The continuous miserable howls resounded at the head of Wancheng City, and under the vigorous shooting of the crossbowmen of the elite archers of the Han army, the Yellow Turban sergeants who were crowded into a mass on the city tower were suddenly killed and wounded. Just a few salvos. Thousands of people were killed by arrows, and more than 1,000 people were squeezed out of the city wall by their companions who were in a hurry to avoid the rain of arrows, and fell to their deaths under the city and turned into a puddle of flesh. There are more Yellow Turban sergeants who were injured by arrows but did not die for a while, but now the rest of the Yellow Turban sergeants are only looking for a place to hide from the rain of arrows shot by the Han army, where can they take care of these wailing and screaming comrades?

"Damn dog officer, there are so many crossbowmen hidden in secret! Quick, let the sword and shield soldiers step forward to stop the rain of arrows! Zhang Mancheng was not injured under the desperate cover of the guards, but the terrifying volley power of the Han army shocked Zhang Mancheng, and he no longer had the previous arrogance.

Seeing the Yellow Turban Army in chaos at the head of the city, a hint of triumph flashed on Zhu Jun's face. Before, because he rushed from Luoyang to Wancheng, there were only thousands of archers in the army. In the first few siege battles, Zhu Jun did not use this group of archers, but during this time, after mobilizing thousands of crossbowmen equipped with big yellow crossbows, he suddenly threw these people into the battlefield as a surprise army. Facts have proved that his move has really reaped a lot of results.

"Pass my order, the army will cover up and capture Wancheng!!" Although I don't understand where Sun Jian and Wu Yi have gone, if they can take Wancheng here, Zhu Jun will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"The general has an order, and the whole army is !! attacking the city"

Tens of thousands of troops launched a general attack on Wancheng in three ways, because their own archers were completely suppressed by the Han army's crossbowmen, the Han army's sword and shield soldiers easily stepped over a hundred paces and successfully rushed to the city wall of Wancheng. The follow-up rams and siege ladders were quickly transported, and the Han soldiers, under the command of the generals and colonels, began to attack the city in a big way.
