Huangfu Song originally thought that his words could hit the morale of the soldiers in the city, but he didn't expect Dong Min to become smart, and successfully used the killing of the people of Liangzhou to make the soldiers in the fort become the same enemy, restore morale, and the morale became more high-spirited, quite a way to win the mourning army. Seeing that it was useless to talk more, he began to prepare for the siege of the city.

Huangfu Song, as a commander-type general, will not make any drama of fighting generals, and directly let the soldiers attack the city.

Although the dock is a dock fort, in fact, it is no different from the fortified city, its height is seven zhang, the width is seven zhang, in the current words is fifteen or sixteen meters high, the width is fifteen or sixteen meters, when it was built, Dong Zhuo called it "long live the dock", and threatened: "It is done, it dominates the world; No, keeping this is enough to get old. It can be seen that its emphasis on Hewu can be said to be solid.

Huangfu Song is a generation of famous generals, since he leads the troops to fight, he must be fully prepared.

His army carried a lot of siege equipment this time, including siege vehicles, siege ladders and so on.

Around the dock, there is a moat, about two zhang wide, and there is a suspension bridge in front of the city gate that can be used to enter and exit, which has now been recovered.

The first problem that Huangfu Song needs to face if he wants to capture Hewu is the moat around Hewu, and if he can't break through the moat, let alone attack the city.

The role of the moat was mainly to resist the rapid rush of cavalry into the city.

Just listen to the order of Huangfu Song, and immediately countless soldiers rushed up, only to see a ladder was laid on the moat, countless soldiers ran from the ladder, and there were also people who stood unsteadily from the ladder and fell into the water, some people who did not know the nature of the water were drowned on the spot, and some people swam through the water.

Seeing this, Dong Min immediately commanded his soldiers to defend the city, only to see rows of archers, hiding behind the arrow stacks, pulling bows and arrows.

"Shoot!"

All the archers immediately poked their heads out from behind the stacks and shot an arrow.

The besieging army that swarmed under the castle tower immediately fell to the ground with arrows, and then immediately organized archers to counterattack.

The archers at the head of the city have the advantage of being superior, with a longer range and a wider view.

In the battle of defending the city, the archers in charge of defending the city do not need to aim at the beginning of the battle, anyway, there are enemies everywhere, as long as the bow and arrow are fired, they can hit the enemy casually. You don't need to shoot directly, just shoot the bow and arrows at the same time, forming a dense rain of arrows and covering the enemy.

On the contrary, as the besieging party, the requirements for the archers are relatively high, because if you attack from the back, if you don't aim at the enemy, you will shoot indiscriminately, and it is very likely to shoot your own people.

Not long after, due to the mutual attack of archers, the fire on the head of the city was slightly suppressed.

At this time, Huangfu Song sent a team of cavalry, riding forward, and when the moat was approaching, the knights on the horse threw out a few sandbags, wanting to fill the moat and pave the way for the army to attack the city.

Seeing this, Dong Min immediately ordered: "Archers, immediately concentrate all your strength on the cavalry that comes forward, and try to consume the opponent's cavalry." ”

As soon as the order was given, a whizzing rain of arrows was fired, and at once countless knights were shot by the archers at the head of the city and fell from their horses.

Dong Min sneered and said, "If you want to fill the moat as much as possible, it's not that easy. ”

Despite the tremendous pressure and great risks, the soldiers of Huangfu Song's army still rushed to the front without fear of death, threw sandbags into the moat, and after paying a certain number of casualties, several simple passages were soon formed.

Now that the passage had been formed, Huangfu Song immediately commanded the archers to provide fire cover for the soldiers on both sides of the passage, while trying to suppress the archers on the city. He also ordered a group of soldiers to carry siege ladders to quickly break through to the vicinity of the city wall, and then set up the system on the city wall, and the ants attached to the siege city.

At the same time, he ordered his officers and men to slowly push out a few well railings from the army.

It is a powerful siege weapon, similar to a mobile arrow tower, which is very slow and can often be easily destroyed. With it mounted, any class can shoot from a distance. Generally, it is built to a height of 3 and a half floors, and a pulley is installed at the bottom, and it moves and strafs condescendingly. Features: wide range, strong dynamic striking power; Weaknesses: Slow movement, no melee combat ability.

Generally, the response to the well is to send an elite force to move quickly to the well under the cover of the defenders of the city head and forcibly destroy it.

Seeing this, Dong Min did not send soldiers and horses out of the city, but did not panic, and ordered: "Immediately replace the bow and arrow with rockets, hit and shoot, and knock out the opponent's." ”

Then he said to the herald beside him: "Immediately go and ask the soldier in charge of controlling the catapult if the well is within his attack range, if he has already entered the attack range, immediately replace the stone with fire oil and knock out the opponent's well first." ”

Dong Zhuo never thought that one day, someone would attack Yiwu, so there were not many catapults prepared in Yiwu, only a few, which is why Dong Min did not immediately order the catapult to attack at the beginning of the battle.

The catapult in the Yiwu is still a relatively simple version, and its range is not far, far from reaching the huge power and extremely long range of the catapult improved by Cao Cao's strategist Liu Ye in the later period. However, even in the current location of the well block, it is already within the attack range of the catapult.

Although the rocket can also ignite the shaft, the speed is too slow, and it needs to be extremely densely covered, and the general shaft will have certain fire protection measures, so the effect of the rocket is not ideal.

After Dong Min gave the order for the catapult to attack, the soldiers who controlled the catapult immediately filled the catapult with the oil on the catapult, only to hear a whistling sound, and the oil poured out by the catapult more or less hit the well and shattered, and the oil flowed everywhere, and after being stained with the rocket, it immediately burned strongly.

A fire broke out immediately, and the soldiers who controlled the well tried to extinguish the fire, so they leaned out of the protective wooden planks of the well and tried to extinguish the fire. was shot by Dong Min commanding the archers on the city tower, and then his whole body burned and fell down from the well.

There were also some soldiers who were not hit by the arrows when they saw that the well was on fire, so they climbed down from the well one after another, but at this time, Dong Min's archers shot the rockets to the ground. The ground was filled with fire oil because it fell and shattered, and it only took a little spark to immediately ignite the fire.

The warriors, who had just jumped from the well, were caught off guard and were immediately extinguished by the fire.

The stench of burnt corpses emanated from the battlefield and spread, and the soldiers under the command of Huangfu Song suffered many casualties in this short contact.
