"Marshal, the Han army's offensive is too fierce, and the south and west are a little undefensible!"

Zhang Mancheng snorted coldly, and smashed a piece of talisman into the Yellow Turban Colonel who came to ask for help: "Take this talisman and go to the city to mobilize the Yellow Turban Warriors of the Yellow Turban Warriors, and you will be the temporary commander of the Yellow Turban Warriors, and lead the three thousand Yellow Turban Warriors to stabilize the situation for the Commander!" ”

This Yellow Turban Lux was originally Zhang Mancheng's support force left in the city, and although the eastern city wall where he was located had withstood the most attacks by the Han army, there were thousands of Yellow Turban Lux under his command. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese elite forces in the Yellow Turban Army, combined with the help of countless miscellaneous soldiers, can completely block the frontal onslaught of the Han army.

"Come on, let the sergeants under the city carry the rolling wood and stones to the city, and the commander will give these dog officers and soldiers something awesome!" Zhang Mancheng had already prepared a lot of rocks and rolling logs, but before Zhang Mancheng regarded the official army as a defeated general of his previous subordinates and did not plan to use these defensive materials, and now that the Han army has shown an extraordinary impact, Zhang Mancheng has already regretted moving these weapons to defend the city from the city.

"Dashuai, roll the wood and stones."

Zhang Mancheng waved his hand: "Smash it hard for Ben Shuai!" Don't let a Han army climb the city!! ”

Under Zhang Mancheng's order, these stone rolling logs dismantled from Wancheng dwellings rained down on the Han soldiers who attached the ladder to the clouds. Rao was that these Han soldiers had strong shields to cover them, but the heavy gravel and rolling logs smashed them down the ladder with their shields. What's more, after receiving heavy blows one after another, the wooden ladder was also smashed by the waist, and the Han soldiers attached to it slammed into the ground with desperate wails and turned into twisted corpses.

Zhu Jun saw that a strong attack he organized was blocked, and snorted coldly: "Send an order, let the Jing Yan team step forward and shoot at the head of the city to suppress the thief army at the head of the city." ”

The well, which was dozens of feet high, was pushed towards Wancheng little by little in the loud shouting. The reason why Zhu Jun agreed to Sun Jian's invitation to fight is also related to the fact that he made full preparations for the siege during this time. Different from the several hastily organized siege battles before, Zhu Jun not only mobilized enough crossbowmen in sufficient time, but also summoned nearby craftsmen to build dozens of siege equipment such as wells and rushing carts for the army.

"Shoot the arrows!" There are dozens of Han army crossbowmen on each well, with the help of these dozens of feet high, these Han army crossbowmen can almost look at the head of Wancheng, which makes the Yellow Turban soldiers on the wall of Wancheng completely exposed, and the sharp arrows bring the cold of death to the Yellow Turban soldiers who are desperately smashing down the rocks.

Seeing that the Han army's well was approaching and causing a lot of casualties to his subordinates, Zhang Mancheng did not panic: "Finally used the well and the well, hmph, didn't Ben Shuai send scouts to investigate these days?" Come! Smash out all those canisters of fire oil prepared by Ben Shuai! ”

Although Zhang Mancheng did not anticipate the power of the salvo of the Han crossbowmen, he detected the news of Zhu Jun's construction of the well very early. It is said that this siege weapon was created by the Mo family in the Warring States period, but later the Mo family quickly developed a method against Jing Yan - fire attack.

The canister was thrown out by the Yellow Turban Lux and smashed on the well with a crackle. The pungent fire oil slowly flowed down the wooden well diaphragm, and the corner of Zhang Mancheng's mouth raised a cruel smile: "Shoot rockets at these well diaphragms for Ben Shuai!" ”

The Yellow Turbans wrapped cloth around the arrows, dipped them in a viscous oil can, and set them on fire. These special rockets alone are not very lethal to the well, but when the rocket hits the well, and ignites the oil, the fire instantly becomes uncontrollable. The crossbowmen who had originally climbed to the top of the well were **** by the scorching tongue of fire at this moment, and they screamed and asked for help to the robe under the well. But with the help of the oil, the wooden well was already burning, and the Han soldiers guarding the well tried to extinguish the fire with sand, but to no avail.

In the end, these carefully selected elite crossbowmen of the Han army, except for a very few brave people who jumped off the well and fell into the sand without falling to their deaths, most of the rest were burned to charcoal along with the well and burned together, or jumped from the dozens of feet high well and fell directly on the solid ground, and their bones were shattered and died.

"Damn!! The well that would have taken months to build was destroyed so easily!! Zhu Jun didn't care about the casualties of the less than 1,000 crossbowmen, but was saddened that the siege weapon he had painstakingly built did not bring the results he expected, but was easily burned by the enemy.

Seeing that Zhu Jun was commanding the army and the Yellow Turban Army to fight back and forth, Sun Jian, who had been watching the battle, estimated that the time was almost over, so he came to Wu Yi's side: "Ziyuan, General Zhu Jun's three-way army horse has attracted most of the enemy's attention, and now is the best time for us to attack!" ”

"In this case, except for the soldiers and horses of Yizhi's headquarters, the command of the rest of the sergeants will be handed over to Sun Sima, and whether or not they can attack this Wancheng next depends on Sun Sima."

Although Wu Yi has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are county soldiers deployed by Huangfu Song, and they are really Wu Yi's headquarters soldiers and horses, but they are only those young and strong rebels recruited from Chen Liu. These rebels followed Wu Yi through several fierce battles, and only more than 1,000 people have survived so far, but the battlefield is the best place to train troops.

Huangfu Song allocated the county soldiers to Wu Yi, Wu Yi only had the right to command but did not have the right, but these more than 1,000 young and strong rebels were recruited by Wu Yi with money, in a sense, these people are Wu Yi's private army, and even Huangfu Song has no right to bypass Wu Yi to deploy these soldiers at will.

In the eyes of many people at the moment, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just a temporary difficulty for the Han Dynasty, and after pacifying these Yellow Turban thieves, the Han Dynasty will be back on track and restore peace. But Wu Yi, who knew history, knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was just the beginning of many wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and more wars would follow.

In the troubled times, since Wu Yi wants to control his own destiny, of course he must cultivate a group of private troops who are only loyal to him. Therefore, Wu Yi could hand over the county soldiers that Huangfu Song had equipped him with to Sun Jian, but his more than 1,000 private troops had to be firmly in his own hands, and they could not easily be wasted on this kind of siege warfare with a very high casualty rate.

And Sun Jian got the temporary wielding of nearly 10,000 military horses, so he naturally didn't care that Wu Yi kept the private army of less than 2,000 by his side. Even in Sun Jian's view, this is just Wu Yi, a little doll who is greedy for life and afraid of death, leaving himself a safe army on the battlefield: "Although Ziyuan relaxes, this time I Sun Wentai will go out in person, just Wancheng, and it will be easy to break!" ”
