Chapter 36: Siege

"Chen Qiong didn't get the plan? This son is very difficult, although he is young, he is even more difficult to deal with than that Bao Hong. Listening to what Niu Yue said, Shi Guang frowned, in fact, there are elite soldiers in each of his several grain teams, and all roads are the same from Gepi County, as long as they can drag the main force of the official army, the remaining few roads can be swarmed up, even if they can't completely wipe out the other party, they can also beat the vitality of the officers and soldiers, but I didn't expect that the plan that I finally came up with these days has not taken effect.

"It's not that Niu Yuanli failed to keep the officers and soldiers, brother, if you change someone tomorrow, you will definitely teach the officers and soldiers to come and go." Shi Jing smiled coldly.

"The guilty general is ineffective in fighting, please punish the general." Niu Yue's face was ashamed, and he knelt down to Shi Guang to plead guilty.

"Hurry up, why did Yuanli say this, Erzhi Yong I have always known it, and tomorrow will rely on the power of Yuanli." Shi Guang hurriedly helped Niu Yue up and said with a smile.

"Dare not die for the general." A little gratitude appeared on Niu Yue's resolute face.

"Yuanli fought hard today, and went down to rest and recuperate." Shi Guang said a few words to Niu Yue, telling him not to have a burden in his heart, but Niu Yue was not good at words, so he retired.

"Brother, today it is obvious that this Niu Yue is not effective in fighting, why not punish him?" After Niu Yue left, Shi Jing asked rather unevenly. In addition to Shi Guang in the whole army, Niu Yue is equal to him, and Niu Yue is known as loyal and brave, and his prestige in the Yellow Turban Army is still above him, and Shi Jing has been dissatisfied with him for a long time.

"Although Niu Yue was defeated in the first battle and lost a lot of manpower, I have asked the sergeants participating in the battle, and all the officers and soldiers are cavalry, which is also unexpected. Failure to retain officers and soldiers is not a crime of war. Shi Guang shook his head, and a pair of tiger eyes stared at Shi Jing and said, "I know that Er and Niu Yue have always been at odds, but at the moment, the enemy is current, this Chen Qiong is several times more powerful than Bao Hong, and we must not delay the war because of our own selfish thoughts." ”

Seeing that Shi Guang's tone carried a little reproach, although Shi Yu had a disagreement in his heart, he had always been a little afraid of his brother, so he said a few words and then retired.

"Straight lady thief, after harvesting so much grain, she didn't even share more food." After handing over the harvested grain, the Yellow Turban Army had its own set of means to prevent the elderly, weak, women and children from hiding without permission, which made Wu Meng and the others' original idea of bringing some food to wrap their stomachs also come to naught. Fortunately, he had a full meal before leaving, otherwise his stomach would be hungry, and he would not have the strength to fight with the rebel army and capture the city.

"Silence, provoke the attention of the rebels in the city, and look for death." Zhou Cang glared at Wu Meng angrily, and then looked at Liao Hua, "Yuan Jian, how is it over there?" ”

"The four gates of Gepi have been explored, and the thieves guard the south gate in large numbers, followed by the north gate. Both the east and the west are the same. The troops brought by Brother Yuanfu and I are too small, and it may be difficult to take the north and south gates in a hurry. The west gate is close to Taoshui, and it is inconvenient for the army to attack, only in the northeast, you can receive the lord into the city. Liao Hua lowered his voice and said.

"Then it was decided, and the city will be broken today!" Zhou Cang sighed and looked around, although the night was heavy, it couldn't stop the heat in his heart.

Woo------

The sound of a long horn, outside the city of Gepi, the flames soared into the sky, and a large group of soldiers marched forward in formation, raising fire.

Chen Zhi carried a spear, sat on a horse, looked coldly at Gepi County in the night, looked at the foot soldiers who were walking with shields, and shouted, "Breaking the city should be today!"

"Roar, roar!"

The soldiers raised their shields to cover the advance of the archers, and in the dark night, nearly 10,000 troops pounced on the county town of Gepi like a hideous beast.

"The official army is attacking the city, the official army is attacking the city!"

The Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city was awakened by this huge momentum, and a large group of Yellow Turban Army rushed to the city.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh ......

The bows and arrows protected by the wooden shield suddenly let go of the bowstrings, and a large number of arrows were thrown out and landed on the city walls, causing countless screams.

"Shoot back, shoot back!" The Yellow Turban Colonel on the city wall drew his knife and shouted. The archers of the Yellow Turbans also fought back. A rain of arrows goes back and forth between the city and the city.

Dense arrows only hit the shields, making a dull sound, and there were also non-calling arrows that only entered the bodies of the officers and soldiers through the gaps between the shields. The screams were incessant, and in the darkness of the night, the figures on the city wall flashed in the firelight, and if it were not for people with excellent eyesight, they could not see the movement of the Yellow Turban on the city wall, so they could only use this large-scale projectile to kill and injure the enemy.

Between the shields, five huge wooden carts were quickly pushed by the armoured soldiers on both sides, and the soldiers of the carts were all strong and able. The two sides of the wooden cart are round and sturdy logs, with wooden planks in the middle, and two wooden wheels on each side below, which are pushed forward rapidly under the impetus of more than ten soldiers.

"Quick, stop the officers and soldiers, shoot arrows, shoot arrows."

The battlefield was chaotic, with arrows piercing the air, shouting, and screaming.

Whoosh...

Ah, from time to time, the soldiers pushing the flybridge were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but soon the vacant places were filled by other soldiers.

"Up!" The flybridge was pushed to the moat more than a foot wide, and the soldiers at the head shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind shouted loudly. The soldiers next to him pounced one after another, holding down the wooden trunk, and the huge flying bridge was axed with wooden wheels as the axis, and the front end was raised on stilts.

"Push!"

"Hi ......"

I usually eat enough, but at this time I have enough strength. The flybridge with high stilts at the front end landed only a pair of wooden wheels, and the raised end of the flybridge headed towards the other side of the moat.

Wow!

Because the two soldiers tripped over the corpses under the wheels, it was a little bit before the flybridge was able to catch the other side of the moat. The soldier of the cart was immediately annoyed, and wasted the boss's strength, and lost more than ten people, but the war did not merciful to the loser, and the arrows on the city still rained down.

"Up!"

"Fall!" In the midst of other roars, a rare cheer was heard, and the soldiers were shocked to see that two of the five flying bridges had successfully connected the two sides of the moat!

"Cut the suspension bridge, attack!" The tooth gate general Zhao Sheng's long knife was drawn forward, and the two teams of elite soldiers who had been waiting for a long time raised their shields to cross the flying bridge.

"Quick, throw stones, stone them!"

Boom, boom, boom....

More than ten catties of stones were thrown down one by one. The shield raised on the flybridge was smashed.

Burst! After a stone smashed the shield, the soldier's head was smashed to pieces, and the headless corpse turned into the moat, and only two or three of the more than ten soldiers who first stepped on the flying bridge ran through the moat under the counterattack of the defenders, if it were not for the cover of the night, I am afraid that everyone could see the blood red in the moat.

"Cut the reins and drop the drawbridge!" Zhao Sheng's expression was hideous, and he shouted loudly, the iron armor on his right arm had been broken, and he was hung by a stone, knocking off a small piece of flesh, but at this time, this pain was nothing compared to those warriors floating in the moat.
