On the city of Liyang, Liu Yan is busy commanding the soldiers defending the city, constantly scheduling, at this time the city of Liyang can be seen everywhere with rolling wood and stones for defense and a large number of archers, and from time to time there are soldiers to carry materials to the city, three sides of the city defense have gathered a large number of fortifications, when Yuan Shao's army attacked the city, a large number of archers have gathered to the city defense on three sides, seeing Yuan Shao's army attacking the city, the crossbowmen on the city began to release arrows, for a time dense like wasps like bows and arrows flew down from Liyang City, Pounced directly on Yuan Shao's army under the city, and Yuan Shao's army was suddenly overwhelmed by bows and arrows.

"Yikes! Yes! 、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、" was another burst of shouts and wails sounded under Liyang City, but seeing that the besieging Yuan Shao's army had fallen, the strategist saw that the army was blocked from attacking the city and said Yuan Shaodao: "The bow and arrow on Liyang City are fierce, let the fully armed cavalry go up, let the cavalry cover the infantry behind the advance, as long as you attack under Liyang City, you can let go of the attack!" ”

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this and said, "Just do it according to your wishes!" ”

The horn of the "woo" charge sounded again, this time I saw a large number of cavalry of Yuan Shao's army neatly arranged, the cavalry held a siege sword in one hand, and a solid shield in the other hand, and then looked at the armor and helmets on the body, it was really fully armed, the cavalry waved the sharp weapons in their hands, and used shields to cover the fierce attack on Liyang City again, a large number of war horses roared and rushed towards Liyang, like a broken bamboo, Liu Yan saw this and commanded the archers to release the arrows again.

"Whoosh、、、、 whoosh、、、、 whoosh" rained bows and arrows on the city again. The bows and arrows pounced on the Yuan Shao cavalry under the city again, and the cavalry used their shields to resist when they saw this. While resisting, he continued to rush forward, and this time he did not hear the same terrible screams as before. Only occasionally a soldier fell, but at this time the voice was completely replaced by another voice, what sound? That was the sound of "crackling, crackling, crackling、、、、、、、、、、", which was the sound of bows and arrows hitting shields, and most of the bows and arrows shot from Liyang City were blocked by the shields of the cavalry.

Yuan Shao's cavalry marched forward and kept moving forward, because it was a heavily armed cavalry, with all the armor, and the war horse was also fast. But from time to time there are still people who fall to the ground with arrows, and there are many people who fall to the ground not because they are hit by arrows, but because the horses they are riding are injured by bows and arrows, and unfortunately fall to the ground, causing the soldiers to fall from their horses at once, but even so, a large number of cavalry still rushed to the front of Liyang.

Liu Yan saw that the archers could not cope with this group of cavalry, so he ordered the soldiers in the city to prepare to roll wood and stones, ready to block the invading enemy army, the current situation is not optimistic, because Yuan Shao's cavalry has approached the edge of Liyang City. That is to say, the soldiers are approaching the city, the bow and arrow have no advantage at all, and the only way to attack and defend at close range is to use rolling wood and stone, and there are still sufficient fortifications in Liyang City at this time. There are enough rolling logs to cope with such a close siege.

Yuan Shao's cavalry, which rushed to the front, flew up and scratched the hook towards Liyang City, and people could fly up and scratch hooks on horses, and suddenly hundreds of hooks flew towards Liyang City. At this time, Liyang City was already full of swords and axes, just waiting for the city to fly up and scratch the hook. Yuan Shao's cavalry saw that the hook had climbed the city wall, so they began to climb the city. Of course, it is not an ordinary sergeant who can do this, which requires a strong physical and mental quality and excellent military skills and extraordinary skills, to know that Lu Dao dragged the rope with both hands, and then climbed the city wall with both feet to climb on the road, this is definitely not an ordinary guy, it is an absolute test for soldiers, so to speak, those who can do this are the "special forces" in the army, all of them are excellent soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, and it takes a lot of time and money to cultivate such a strong force, Therefore, the master who can have such a group of soldiers is not an ordinary master, only a warlord with a large amount of wealth can do this, and Yuan Shao is one of them.

Yuan Shao's "special forces" unit is not only good at riding and shooting, but also good at climbing, immediately flew to Liyang City, the defenders of Liyang City under the command of Liu Yan are not in a hurry to do anything to these climbing soldiers, but wait until these soldiers climb to the halfway point in the start, and when Yuan Shao's "special forces" climb to the waist halfway, the knife and axe hand in the city suddenly cut off the hook, so that the "special forces" who climbed to the air suddenly fell down from more than ten meters high in the air, and fell heavily on the ground, not to fall to death but also to be crippled. It can be said that this "special forces" unit is a death squad, and it is easy to die in such a siege, but "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains", they even risk death to fight for even that little bit of hope, this is their fate

"Bell, block, 、、、、、、、、、、、、、block" was another sound, the knife and axe hand on the city began to cut off the hook that flew to the city, but saw that Yuan Shao's cavalry who climbed into the air fell from mid-air, Liu Yan arranged for the knife and axe hand to cut off the hook on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the defenders to throw rolling wood and stones under the city, and in an instant, heavy objects fell from Liyang City and smashed towards Yuan Shao's cavalry, "Ah, ah, ah, 、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、." There was another scream resounding under the city, and the cavalry under the city couldn't help screaming when they were smashed by rolling wood and stones, and then saw that the soldiers under the city were smashed with their heads broken and bleeding, many people fell in a pool of blood, and even the war horses were smashed and ran away, but at this time, Yuan Shao's infantry quickly followed, and they set up ladders to attack the city, and at the same time, many soldiers carried wooden stakes to the city gate of Liyang.

Liu Yan saw that Yuan Shao's army was attacking very fiercely, on the one hand, he constantly commanded the soldiers in the city to throw rolling wood and stones, on the other hand, he continued to dispatch materials to the city, as a veteran with experience in defending the city, Liu Yan's command was still very powerful, no matter how urgent the situation was, he could sit still and calmly deal with the accidents, of course, the materials in Liyang can also be said to be sufficiently ruthless, as a place where soldiers must fight, the city defense and fortifications here have always been highly valued, so the city defense is consolidated, the fortifications are complete, and the materials are sufficient, This caused a lot of trouble for the siege.

The offensive of Yuan Shao's army can not be described as fierce, but the strong Liyang city defense still made Yuan Shao's army fail to break through in a short time, of course, the offensive of Yuan Shao's army caused a gap in some places of Liyang City, but after a whole day of attack, Liyang City still failed to break through, Yuan Shao saw that Liyang was extremely difficult to repair, so he temporarily repaired and prepared to fight again in the coming day, at this time the strategist Xu Yu recommended: "The lord and to take Liyang in one go can not let it be forced, otherwise the future will be endless!" If you give up the attack now, this is equivalent to giving Liu Yan a chance to breathe, Liu Yan will definitely use this time to repair the damaged city, and then transfer the materials to the city to defend the city, and the pressure we face in the next battle is still huge, so the lord can't give up, and if we continue to attack, we can take Liyang, otherwise when Liu Yan repairs the fortifications, then Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive then we will be in danger! ”

Yuan Shao saw Xu You persuading hard, brushed his beard and was still hesitant, and then the strategist Feng Ji continued to persuade: "Xu You is reasonable, don't let Liu Yan develop strength!" ”

Yuan Shao said embarrassedly: "The soldiers are now exhausted, and if they want to fight again, they may be war-weary!" ”

"I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf! Don't hesitate any longer! The strategist also echoed and said, this frustration originally had a gap with Xu You, but thinking of the overall situation, he still supported Xu You's opinion this time.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the strategists had reached an agreement this time, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he said, "Okay! It's up to you to keep attacking! ”

Yuan Shao gave an order, the tired three armies once again cheered up and marched forward, and struggled to kill Liyang City, at this time Liyang City was already in flames of war, the entire city wall was devastated, and then looked at the dead corpses everywhere under the city, and the blood flowed like a river, Yuan Shao's soldiers who attacked the city fell under the city, and all kinds of fortifications were still burning, Liu Yan in the city was also quite tired at this time, and the materials on the city were not much left until now, and many soldiers were still carrying various materials to the city. At this time, many places in Liyang City were damaged, and there were gaps in many places, if Yuan Shao gave up the attack at this time, Liu Yan could use this time to repair the city defense, and he could also transfer various fortifications to the city, but at this time Yuan Shao did not give him this opportunity again, and a new round of siege horns sounded again, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted to attack Liyang

After a whole day of fighting, it was not as good as dusk at this time, and the fierce battle between the two sides was still going on, but the situation became more and more unfavorable for Liu Yan, Yuan Shao's army began to pounce on Liyang, and the defensive situation of Liyang City at this time was even more severe, because it had been torn open in many places, and there was a shortage of various fortifications in the city, so it was doubly difficult to defend, but Liu Yan did not give up and continued to hold on, "My lord, the enemy is attacking the city defense in the west!" A soldier said to Liu Yanyu in a panic.

After Liu Yan heard this, he hurriedly rushed to the west to check the military situation: but saw that Yuan Shao's soldiers had rushed to the city and were engaged in a fierce battle with his defenders, which had never happened during the day, Liu Yan then ordered to increase the troops to the west to prepare to suppress the enemy's offensive, and at this moment another soldier ran over: "Report to your lord, the enemy is attacking from the north wall!"
