Chapter 100: Siege Battle
What is the strongest place in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban or the Qingzhou Army? Monster figure? Armed with a divine weapon? Definitely! It's faith! It is faith that has always sustained them in their journey;
Whether it is the Yellow Turban Uprising or the later separate battles, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have always been the banner of the Yellow Turbans in the world, they may often be defeated, you can often hear the history of the assassination, the defeat of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and the beheading of tens of thousands of words, but you have never heard of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans being wiped out!
Even if they are defeated, even if they are defeated, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have never collapsed, and they will soon regain the courage to fight for the future!
And the driving force behind them is faith – faith! It's not the teachings of the Yellow Turbans, it's not absolute trust in a certain leader, it's just for your own family! For them! They dare to fight!
In order for their families to live a better life, the Qingzhou army threw their heads, spilled blood, and was extraordinarily brave, even if it was a fatal order such as attacking the city, they would carry it out;
Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: go to the army to fight and strategize, then to fight and fight, and then to fight the army. Sending troops to attack the city, the method of attacking the city is not your own.
Siege was the most difficult thing in ancient warfare, so most people don't use siege. Use it as much as possible, and if there is no way, as the ancients said, it is necessary to attack the city several times with the enemy.
Under the absolute disadvantage, Li Yu asked Xiahoudun to lead the Qingzhou army to attack the city at all costs! Isn't this self-defeating?
Wu Anguo, who had been standing quietly behind Li Yu, frowned and said, "Sir... It's not... Never! ”;
"I don't know the cruelty of the siege, not to mention the strength of the city, and the Fengqiu garrisoned by Yuan Shujun, which is twice as large as our army, is a county town with only a few thousand men and horses, and we will suffer a lot of casualties if we capture it! But do we have a choice? Li Yu asked rhetorically;
"Once our army is short of food and grass, and the morale of the army is weakened, it will be self-defeating! Do we have any other options than to take the initiative? ”
Li Yu's rhetorical question made Wu'an Chinese speechless, and he didn't know how to answer;
"That's it! By surprise, maybe we still have a slight chance of winning! I personally supervised the siege of 30,000 troops, and Yuan Rang and Xuyang each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect the flanks of the Chinese army and prevent the attack of the two military horses on the periphery of Yuan Shu! Siege now! Li Yu did not care about the fact that Xiahoudun was the commander of the army, and ordered in an irrefutable tone;
If there was an experienced Chinese army commander, he would not follow Li Yu's orders to attack the city anyway, but unfortunately the commander of this military horse was still just a junior brother Xiahoudun, and he immediately agreed...
Yuan Shu never imagined that his opponent would attack so impatiently, you must know that he has more than 100,000 troops here, not more than 100,000 pigs waiting for them to catch!
According to his script, Cao Cao will definitely send the vanguard of the front army to block him to buy time, and then summon all the army and horses to fight him for a decisive battle, so that Yanzhou's troops will be concentrated in the south, and the rest of the country will be empty, and he can take advantage of the situation!
And Cao Cao's front army must be mainly defensive, and will not attack rashly, and it is also a siege! Because of this, Yuan Shu was stunned when he was not prepared enough!

The improvised felled wood was made into a simple siege ladder, which was the only siege equipment of the Qingzhou army, and there was nothing else, no long-range cover of bows and arrows, and there was also the fire bombardment of the arrow tower, and the war began;
The 50,000 men were divided into three parts, 30,000 were led by Li Yu to attack the city, and Xiahoudun and Wu Anguo each led 10,000 men to Yuan Shu to divide his troops and form two flanks of the horn to confront him;
"Huh!" , The Wentian Sword, which symbolized the banner of the Qingzhou Army, was pulled out by Li Yu, and without too much mobilization, Li Yu shouted: "Defend Yanzhou!" Go to war——!!! ”
"Knock knock!···", after three slow and powerful drums, the rhythm of the drums suddenly became faster, and the Qingzhou army roared and rushed towards the fortified city of Fengqiu!
In the city... Mansion···
"Report! ——! Outside the city, Cao's army is attacking the city! Upon learning of the herald's summons, Yuan Shu had only one thought in his head - were Cao Cao's subordinates stupid? Siege··· Is it? Just kidding!
It took a long time for Yuan Shu's head to come to his senses, and he gave a dry order: "Hold the city!" ”
In terms of experience in siege warfare, the Qingzhou army is definitely second to none in terms of all the armies of the Han Dynasty at present, and their experience in attacking cities and grabbing land is the best in the world;
Hold high the shield and run forward blindfolded, don't look at the enemy's reaction, this is the magic weapon of the Qingzhou army, don't be afraid, the more afraid you are, the faster you die, the Qingzhou army constantly has people who are being shot by Yuan Shujun who is defending the city and knocks down, but no one stops, some just rush forward;
Fengqiu is on higher ground, there is no moat, which facilitates the siege of the Qingzhou army, the cloud ladder is erected upward, the knife is in the mouth, and the wooden shield and cowhide shield that are not strong in one hand are held, and the Qingzhou army climbs up like this;
Due to the lack of preparation of Yuan Shu's army, there were only a few thousand men and horses defending the city, and the rest were resting in the camp in the city, and they could not give full play to their advantages in bows and arrows, so they had to choose hand-to-hand combat;
It is impossible to describe the siege in words without experiencing it personally;
Li Yu was standing in his carriage at this time, his legs apart, holding the Wentian Long Sword, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and his heart was beating violently as if it was about to burst;
The siege battle was indeed not as simple as he imagined, even if he was mentally prepared, its cruelty still made Li Yu tremble and couldn't restrain himself;
Constantly people were hit by arrows and fell, and people kept falling from high walls, and the number of people dying increased exponentially every minute, which made Li Yu look at it and worry about it;
The sound of wailing resounded in the sky, even overshadowing the roar of the war drums, and the dripping blood painted a layer of red paint for Fengqiu City for free, and the stumps and severed arms did not know how many wandering beasts could be fed a few meals... Everything is so cruel;
"Bang!" , Li Yu jumped out of the carriage and walked forward slowly;
"Sir! Mr! The guard Qu Jiang called out to Li Yu loudly, Li Yu wandered forward like a nightmare as if he hadn't heard it, and suddenly, he quickened his speed, pulled out his long sword and rushed forward desperately;
"Sir, no! Ah! Qu Jiang was suddenly in a hurry, and rushed to Li Yu without caring about anything, he knew that Li Yu was going to play with his life!
