Tai Shi Ci shot a round of arrows, and Yuan Jun suddenly revealed a layer behind him like a peeled onion. However, the second wave of Yuan soldiers who faced Tai Shici's "treacherous arrows" obviously did not have better luck than their predecessors.

When a soldier opened his mouth to shout the battle horn, he was hit by an arrow, and at the cost of his life, he tried to swallow an arrow. The armor on the chest of the second soldier had been cut by the defenders in the fierce battle that had been fought before. It was this exposed void that became a passage through which an arrow could pierce his heart. The last soldier was shot in the thigh socket by Tai Shici with an arrow, and immediately fell to the ground, holding his crotch and screaming.

The gorgeous archery show has begun.

Next, Tai Shi Ci did not empty the strings, fired twelve rounds in a row, and emptied the entire two bags of arrows he carried. And the effect of these arrows was to make more than thirty Yuan soldiers rushing towards him fall one after another.

The Yuan army, which launched a charge at the head of the city, was the closest time when Tai Shici fired the tenth round of arrows. At that moment, Yuan Jun, who was at the forefront, was only three zhang away from Tai Shici. However, after the eleventh round of arrows was fired, the distance between Tai Shici and Yuan's soldiers began to increase.

The distance can't be bigger. You must know that under the rain of arrows comparable to machine gun strafing by Tai Shi Ci, the people who rushed in front had already fallen on the way to charge. The rest of the enemy had no intention of continuing the charge.

When the twelfth round of arrows was finished, Yuan Jun, who was shot by Tai Shi Ci's amazing archery skills, had no idea of rushing forward at all. They looked around the walls of the city and immediately shouted. Turn around and flee backwards!

Without the cover of the shield, no Yuan army would dare to continue to charge at Tai Shici. Even with the shield in hand, several Yuan Jun glanced at the remains of the robes piled up on the city wall, forming a human barrier, and still had no intention of approaching Tai Shici.

The retreat of Yuan's army finally gave Tai Shici a chance to recover. After moving his aching arm, Tai Shici had to change his beloved bow to another hand to hold.

In fact, Yuan Shaojun did not have no chance of victory. That kind of stormy firepower is not something that can be done easily. The furious shooting just now. The physical exertion of Tai Shi Ci is huge. He almost became the end of the crossbow. If Yuan's charge continued for two or three more rounds, Tai Shici, who was physically exhausted, was afraid that he would have to avoid his front for the time being.

So, a lot of the time. Win and lose. It's really about who can hold on a little longer.

After taking a breath of refreshment. The bow was handed over to his right hand, and Tai Shici drew a long arrow with his left hand and slowly approached forward. Two pro-soldiers by his side. With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, he took the first step and finished off the wounded soldiers who fell on the wall and groaned one by one.

Seeing the Bingzhou army killing their own wounded, the rest of the Yuan army was full of anger on their faces. However, Tai Shi Ci shot an arrow, and the arrow trickily shot a sergeant in the face of the door from the gap in the shield, telling the soldiers:

- In front of the marksman Tai Shici, even if there is a shield cover, it is not safe!

However, Yuan's siege did not end there. Just when Tai Shici shot dozens of people, from the ladder under the city, a group of new troops were added to the city.

Although these new forces were shocked by the tragic situation of the previous army's casualties, after all, they did not see with their own eyes how Tai Shici exerted his might and repelled the enemy's onslaught with a fierce rain of arrows in one fell swoop. So, after a short retreat, the trap team composed of a new group of climbers launched an assault on Tai Shici's position again.

This time, Tai Shici did not use the stunt of "one bow and three arrows". His physical strength did not allow him to do so. He simply doubled the speed of archery.

The second round of assault launched by Yuan Jun did not start well.

In the previous round of attacks, the dead and wounded soldiers of Sergeant Yuan created many obstacles for the second round of assault teams. If you don't look at your feet, the assault team will accidentally trip over the bodies of the people who have learned from the car in front of you. If you are distracted to pay attention to your feet, it is obviously irresponsible for your own life when facing a top shooter like Tai Shici......

Therefore, the gorgeous defeat of the second round of assault teams is completely reasonable. Of course, they lasted a little longer than in the first round.

The so-called "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion". The Yuan Army commando team that was organized in the third round, both in morale and strength, was much lower than the first two groups. Moreover, after Tai Shici's stubborn resistance, a reserve elite army of 100 people sent by Zhang Madness finally arrived at the battlefield.

The leader of the young general, nearly nine feet tall, waist and ten girths, from a distance, is really very similar to the shape of the head bear. He gave Tai Shi Ci a simple military salute, immediately shouted, held a mace, and slaughtered into the Yuan army at the head of the city.

But seeing that the mace, which weighed at least fifty pounds, was smashed into the enemy by the young general as easily as swinging a bamboo pole. Those who are hit head-on by the mace will either have broken bones and tendons, or their liver and brain will be smeared on the ground. Even if someone succeeds in resisting with a small shield, at least one hand must be abolished.

With such fierce generals as arrows, followed by the sergeants of Bingzhou, the morale is bursting. It was just a surprise attack, and the young general led his subordinates to kill no less than 30 elite soldiers of the Yuan army and recaptured the lost section of the city wall.

If you just look at the cultivation of "Zhan Qi", this young general who came to help can achieve the level of "Zhan Qi release", but it is only one level of "100 people beheaded". But he relies on his height and strength to convince people, even if he is against a strong person at the level of "Thousand People Broken", he will not necessarily suffer.

Of course, as a price to pay for being too big and too heavy, the youngster's ability to move is very questionable. There is also stamina, which is also a hidden pain in his heart. Zhang Mad once commented on him:

"To deal with Peng Yingyu, as long as you wait for half a pillar of incense, he will fall by himself."

From the arrogant sentence, it can be seen that Peng Yingyu, that is, the young general with the name Peng Lian, belongs to the role of a "three-minute hero". When he had physical strength, even Yin Gang, the head of the young eagles, was reluctant to attack him directly. But when he is exhausted, he will be slaughtered.

Because of this, Peng Lian can only rank third in terms of comprehensive ability among the "Sixteen Young Eagles". However, his force was extremely effective at the moment when he was defending the city.

Repelled this wave of dangerous attacks, and the next battle between the two sides became calm again. The offensive and defensive battle around the city wall lasted until the sun set in the west, when it ended with the sound of gold coming from the camp of the Yuan army.

As night approached, both sides quietly retreated to their camps, recovering their spirits for the next day.

However, after a day of fierce fighting, the arrogant face did not have the slightest relief after the successful defense of the city. What bothers Zhang so much is the casualties.

In the confrontation battle a few days ago, about 400 soldiers of the Bingzhou army died under the stone thrower and strong bow, and more than 1,000 were wounded. But today's battle alone made the Bingzhou army pay a huge loss of 300 dead and 700 wounded.

In just a few areas where Yuan's army successfully landed in the city, several ten-man defenders were wiped out. If Yuan's army insisted on this kind of strong attack, as long as it took four or five days, the troops in the city would be seriously insufficient, and even the city walls could not take care of it.

Of course, Yuan Shao's attack was so ferocious, and the loss would not be small. According to rough estimates, Yuan Shao lost at least 3,000 men after a one-day battle of ascending the city. With such a high-intensity attack, Zhang Dong didn't believe that Yuan Shao would be able to insist on launching it a few times.

The current situation is to see which of the two armies can hold out longer. Although Zhang Qi has his own self-confidence, the heaviness in his heart is still undiminished. It has to be said that the strategic implementation of Yuan Shao's raid operation was indeed a great success. And the disadvantage faced by Zhang Qi made him have no other way than to passively take Yuan Shao's moves.

Yuan Shao is not a master of siege. However, among his subordinates, there are definitely many strong men who are proficient in the attack and defense of the city. In addition to the regular frontal siege, the crypt attack was also a method that Yuan's army was using.

In order to defend against the Yuan army digging tunnels to attack the city, Zhang Qiang made people set up a lot of ground around the city wall. The so-called "ground listening" is to bury a pottery urn half-buried in the ground, covering a layer of skin on the mouth of the pottery urn, and people put their ears on the skin to listen to the sound coming from the urn.

According to the density of five steps and one by one, the state army buried no less than hundreds of ground by the city wall. In this way, as long as Yuan's tunnels were dug close to the city walls, they would be discovered by the defenders.

Julu City sits on the alluvial fan of the Yellow River, and the surface is covered with a thick layer of loess. The fertile soil allows the giant deer to get an adequate grain harvest every year. However, the soft loess also makes the excavation of the tunnel quite convenient.

Yuan Shao took advantage of his large number of people and did not hide his crypt exit at all. From the top of the city, outside the eastern, western, and southern city walls, there are more than a dozen exposed cavern excavations. As for the secret passage hidden by Yuan Jun, it is even more difficult to estimate.

Digging tunnels takes a lot of time and manpower. Yuan Shao's time was tight, so he used manpower to make up for it. The bold Yuan army blatantly set up the excavation of the tunnel only two hundred steps away from the city wall. As a result, the amount of excavation earthwork in the tunnel has been effectively reduced a lot.

In order to deal with the threat of bed crossbows at the head of the military city, the loess dug out of the tunnels was placed at the hole on the side facing the city wall. Near each opening, there were also thick barred horses and wooden fences to protect them from being blocked by the defenders of the city.

The excavation of the tunnel is going on day and night. Even if Yuan Jun only digs twenty steps a day, it only takes ten days to dig to the foot of the city wall. No, there have been several places to listen to the sound of Yuan Jun's excavation. Although Zhang Yan knew how to deal with the most effective crypt attack, he finally felt that Yuan Shao's moves would not be so simple.

There is no way, in this battle, Yuan Shao's advantage in strength is too obvious. (To be continued......)
