On the third day of the battle, the total number of casualties of Yuan's army was more than the previous two days combined. Fortunately, after hundreds of stone bullets, the walls of the giant deer also became potholes, and it looked a little crumbling in several places. From this point of view, the time for Yuan Shaojun to directly enter the city will soon come.

The stone thrower is a high-tech existence in ancient times. Therefore, the shortcomings of high-tech products, of course, are indispensable for stone throwers. With the engineering and technical level of the Han Dynasty, after the loss of dozens of high-intensity launches, most of the stone throwers will have problems such as falling apart and material breakage, and have to be scrapped.

According to Yuan Jun's idea, of course, he wanted to directly use the stone thrower to directly collapse the city wall of Julu City. It's just a pity that to do this, it takes time, it takes quite a long time. But Yuan Shao's side couldn't waste so much time.

Of course, the losses of the Bingzhou army defending the city in this kind of confrontation are not too small. The greatest loss came from an unfortunate wooden platform, which was directly hit by a stone bullet. As a result of this stone bullet, the entire wooden platform collapsed on the spot and fell to the base of the city wall. Of the more than ten craftsmen and soldiers who operated the bed crossbow in this wooden platform, naturally none of them survived.

Fortunately, such an unfortunate thing happened in one day, but fortunately only this one case occurred. However, the rest of the bed crossbows, after dozens of fires, were severely damaged, and the bows and bowstrings needed to be replaced before they could continue fighting.

Due to the process of making bed crossbows, those parts that are needed are often special. With the material reserves of the state army in the city, there are not many parts suitable for bed crossbows. That is, the attrition that can support a few days of fierce battles. Therefore, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses in the confrontation between the bed crossbow and the stone thrower.

Therefore, the essence of war is actually to fight for attrition. The two sides sent their lives and materials to the battlefield in a steady stream, and then canceled each other out little by little.

If one side is short on human life, it will surely lose unless the supplies are extremely abundant. And if one side is short of supplies, most of them can only use flesh and blood and life. It's time to consume the enemy's supplies.

At the beginning of the battle with the enemy Treult. The guards of the state army, who have the upper hand psychologically, are also interested in using bed crossbows to find trouble with those chariots. But two days later, even the chariot that covered the operation of the people on Yuan Jun's side arrived in front of the bed crossbow launch pad. The soldiers who operated the bed crossbow had no intention of shooting.

There is no other reason. There are too many wagons. It's too simple to make. According to the difficulty of making this thing and the bed crossbow, it is useless to damage the life of the bed crossbow when shot, but it will not achieve considerable results.

Even if it's with twenty or thirty carts. To exchange the damage of a bed crossbow, Yuan Jun is also very profitable. Moreover, with the thickness of the armor of the car, a single blow from the bed crossbow may not be able to guarantee destruction. To deal with cheap goods such as carts, you still have to use simple things such as sasswood, falling rocks, and hanging frisbees.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth days of the siege were still the scenes of the trebuchet vs. the bed crossbow. One by one, Yuan Jun's stone throwers were destroyed and scrapped. The number of bed crossbows that can be used on the battlefield is also decreasing. The number of casualties on both sides is increasing day by day. And the atmosphere of the defenders at the head of the city became more and more tense.

Finally, on the eighth day of the siege battle, Yuan's army's destruction of the city wall had reached a certain level, and it was time to launch hand-to-hand combat in the city. As a result, Yuan Jun launched more than 100 ladders and more than 50 crash cars outside the eastern, southern, and western city walls in one go. In order to give full play to the effect of these battle tools, the number of Yuan troops participating in this wave of attacks has reached at least more than 20,000!

In the face of the enemy's massive offensive, the side of the state army also gathered its spirits and prepared to make every effort to defend and thwart the enemy's siege. Zhang Qiang arranged Yin Gang at the east gate, Dian Wei guarded the south, Tai Shici was in charge of the west gate, Liao Hua monitored the north, and he took the personal guards to sit in the center, ready to meet the Quartet at any time.

The atmosphere in the city was extremely tense, and even the arrogant wife Zhao Yu organized the servant women in the family to prepare to support the front line. And Guo Jia, who can be called powerless, actually received a light cowhide armor from the quartermaster, saying that he wanted to show off his rare swordsmanship in that world - if Guo Jia didn't brag.

Fortunately, even under the indiscriminate bombardment of nearly 100 stone throwers, the city wall of Julu seemed to be crumbling, and under the continuous repair of the defenders and auxiliary soldiers day and night, it still remained generally intact in the end. As the Jizhou governance office selected by Zhang Madness, the various materials in the city to defend the city can also be regarded as piled up.

The material preparations for the attack and defense of the two armies are quite sufficient, and now the key to determining the victory or defeat depends on which of the two sides has the stronger casualty endurance.

Early in the morning of 16 October, when the sun had just risen in the sky, in a low drum beat, siege equipment of different sizes and styles was pushed by the dense soldiers of Yuan, and with huge wheels, the leveled hard loess was crushed into obvious ruts.

If you can get a bird's-eye view from a thousand meters above the sky at this time, those ruts are like arrows that move, pointing to the giant deer city in the middle from all directions.

The length of the walls of Julu City is limited, and it is impossible to accommodate all the siege equipment. Even though Yuan's army only dispatched half of the ladders and ramming cars in the first wave of attack, the scene under the city walls still seemed extremely crowded. In order to effectively kill and injure the attackers, the state army threw all kinds of defensive equipment under the city with all its might, as if these things did not cost money.

I have to say that in ancient times, the side guarded by tall walls was too advantageous in such a battle. Even with Yuan's army's full preparation and many weapons, in the battle from midnight to noon, only thirteen cloud ladders successfully climbed the city.

Of course, in the face of the defenders with a partial advantage in troops, these Yuan troops who climbed to the top of the city were later driven down one after another, whether they lived or died. And as the price of the success of the city, at least thirty ladders were directly destroyed by the defenders, and they did not even reach the edge of the city wall. However, these attacks also caused a significant attrition of the defenders of the city. The casualty exchange ratio between the two sides slowly changed in a direction favorable to Yuan Shaojun.

At noon, Yuan's offensive reached its peak.

Hundreds of big men wearing black iron armor and holding long knives and axes took advantage of a mistake in the battle of the state army and successfully passed a cloud ladder and rushed up to the city tower. As the strength of the defenders was attracted by another climber, these elite Yuan troops used only one assault to sweep out a safe landing site on the head of Julu City.

When Tai Shici, who was in charge of the defense of the western city wall, found that these elite soldiers of the Yuan army had successfully landed in the city, there was already a city wall no less than twenty zhang wide, which was occupied by these elite soldiers of the Yuan army!

The situation is extremely critical. If the Yuan army is allowed to continue to attack, the fall of Julu City is afraid that it is just around the corner!

At the critical juncture, Tai Shici calmly did two things. The first thing is to erect the "Double Rabbit" battle flag at the head of the city and ask for help from the arrogance sitting in the city. The second thing is that Tai Shici lifted his beloved bow and faced the enemy ten zhang away, with no reservations in archery, full firepower, and ruthlessly harvested the enemy's life.

When it comes to archery, through the melee of the princes over the years, all the warriors in the world know that the "Wen Hou" Lu Bu has superb riding and archery skills, and can be called a contemporary "flying general". And Jingzhou Huang Zhong's foot shooting can be called a must, and even the "Jiangdong Tiger" Sun Jian can't block an arrow.

However, not many people know his name for Tai Shici, the first-rate shooter under the arrogant command of Lu Bu who once competed with Lu Bu. This is also normal. Since Tai Shici officially joined the Zhang Madman Army, he has not shown his archery skills in any major battle.

However, after this battle, Yuan Shao's army finally discovered that there was also an archery master in the Bingzhou army who was in no way inferior to anyone else's archery skills!

At that time, there was no obstacle between Tai Shici and Yuan Jun's elite. The width of the passage on the wall was more than two zhang wide, enough for four or five men to charge side by side. With the agility of these elite Yuan troops, as long as they took three or four breaths, they could successfully rush in front of Tai Shici and capture this Bingzhou military academy captain with their own numerical advantage.

But in fact, Yuan Jun spent ten times as long as expected, and he couldn't break through the distance of ten zhang. Later, it was Tai Shi Ci who took the initiative to approach forward, and with the power of one person and one bow, the Yuan army who was killed retreated step by step!

Tai Shi Ci's archery method is no different from that of ordinary archers. His archery speed is not much different from that of ordinary archers. The only difference between Tai Shi Ci and ordinary archers in this battle is:

Every time he opened the bow, Tai Shici took not one, but three!

One bow and three arrows can also ensure extremely terrifying accuracy, such a shooting technique, Yuan Jun not only has not seen it, but has not even heard of it. However, on this day, in this battle, they unfortunately encountered such an unbelievable thing!

The elite of the Yuan army who launched a surprise attack on Tai Shici in the first wave were all dressed in Xuan armor. In order to ensure the mobility of the soldiers when they ascended the city, the Xuanjia was not too thick, but it was effective in defending bows and arrows. Unless a bow or arrow shot with normal force is close to within five feet, it is difficult to break through the armor.

Relying on such a solid anti-arrow ability, when Yuan Jun rushed towards Tai Shici, he also laughed at that guy for daring to use a bow and arrow to resist. Of course, reality quickly proved that the bow and arrow in Tai Shici's hand were not funny at all.

The leader only took two steps forward, and was nailed through the eye socket by a light arrow that shot quickly, piercing through the brain, and died instantly. This Sergeant Yuan couldn't understand why he deliberately used his left arm to cover the door, why could the other party still grab such a small gap and "leak" the arrow in without hindrance?

The other two Yuan soldiers who were on the road at the same time were a little "lucky" compared to the previous one.

One of them was a larynx that was shattered by a light arrow, his trachea leaked, he had difficulty breathing, and he fell to the ground and struggled for a long time before dying. The other, with his arm open between the raised hands, was shot through the rib gap under his armpit by a light arrow, injuring his lungs. This painful man rolled on the city wall for a long time before he was ended by a merger army who cleaned the battlefield with a knife! (To be continued......)
