The fierce siege battle finally began, and the shouts of killing under Nanpi City were all day long.

Lu Yi's troops were indeed well-trained, and in just a few days they had built dozens of ladder trucks, more than a dozen chariot and crash trucks for the siege, as well as a dozen well fences and dozens of thunderbolt throwing vehicles.

If these large siege engines are approached under the city of Nanpi, the besieging side will be strengthened, and the casualties of the defending side will skyrocket.

Xian Yufu, who was standing at the head of the city, looked coldly at the slowly approaching car and crash car in the distance, and said to himself: "Let you wait today to see the methods of the general!" ”

"Herald, have you ever had a bed crossbow and fire oil?"

"Tell the general, it's all ready!"

"Have you ever had a fuel rocket?"

"It has been assigned to the longbowmen according to the general's orders!"

"Obey my orders, don't attack without permission!"

"Obedience!"

The city was slaughtered, and the soldiers stared closely at the dozen or so chariots and crashing cars that were heading straight for the city gate, and on both sides of this special force attacking the city gate, there were many ant-attached siege troops carrying ladders.

Obviously, the biggest threat to Nanpi City is this kind of chariot with people hiding under it, and the iron head-butting chariot that follows it is attacking the city. Once these two vehicles approach the city gate, the city gate will be destroyed, and the defense of the entire city will have a major hole, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Without waiting for the soldiers carrying the ladder to approach the city wall, Xian Yufu shouted: "Longbowmen, the first round of projectiles, release!" ”

"Longbowmen, first round of throws, put!"

The herald's voice was loud and loud, as if it could penetrate the sky and spread far on both sides of the tower.

Dense arrows were shot diagonally into the air, and then began to fall with a shrill whistling sound. In the end, it was sprinkled on the Yuan army outside the city, who was risking death and approaching the city wall.

The next moment, a cry of wailing sounded.

Because of the help of a towering wall, the archers who defended the city stood three feet higher, so that the arrows fired were much farther than the soldiers under the city.

A rain of arrows rained down, and some of the soldiers charging outside the city were killed or wounded, but it could not stop them from continuing the charge.

"Longbowmen, second round of projectiles, put!" Xian Yufu continued to order, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air at the head of the city sounded again, which sounded a little tooth sore.

Some of the soldiers of the Yuan army under the city were shot by falling arrows. Some hit the vital parts, and at that time they lay in a pool of blood and convulsed, and then died. Others were hit by arrows in their limbs, so they had to endure the pain and continue to charge forward at the risk of death.

"Longbowmen, free fire, crossbowmen ready!"

After two volleys, the longbowmen at the head of the city began to search for targets on their own, and the strong crossbowmen with relatively strong firing distances were ready to fire a salvo.

"Crossbowman, let's go!"

"W-h The sound of the bolt off the string sounded like a sickle cutting straw. There is a chill in the neatness.

The next moment, the soldiers running under the city were pierced through their bodies by the high-speed crossbow arrows, and fell in pieces in pieces in the terrible shouts.

Siege battles, soldiers who charge ahead at the beginning. Almost none of them survived, and unless they could hide in the crossbowmen's firing corners, they were a living target to consume and attract the defenders' firepower.

After paying many lives, the soldiers of the city covered the carts and loaded the carts to the north gate of Nanpi City.

Xian Yufu, who has been focusing on these big guys. Shouted an order: "Throw the fierce fire oil immediately!" ”

Fierce fire oil is the name of oil in ancient times. The Eastern Han Dynasty historian Ban Gu wrote in his Book of Han? It is recorded in the Geographical Chronicles that "Gaonu County has water that can be burned". More than 100 years have passed since Bangu's death, and the material of fierce fire oil has been used by the smart and diligent Han people. It is not a new means to defend the city.

With Xian Yufu's order, hundreds of soldiers at the head of the city risked the attack of flying arrows under the city, leaned over and threw the jar of fierce fire oil in their hands at the approaching cart.

"Bed crossbow, shoot!"

"Rocket, let's go!"

The crossbow of the bed, which was as thick as a child's arm and was more than a foot long, plunged straight into the cart under the city and crashed away, easily tearing through the layers of raw cowhide covering the roof of the cart and killing several soldiers hiding in the cart. The ensuing oil flowed through the torn cracks into the inside of the cart, and then the rockets shot down and ignited the oil......

Suddenly, the cart that was stuck in place by the bed crossbow arrows and could not move burst into flames, and the soldiers in the car climbed out of the cart screaming despite the rain of arrows at the head of the city, and were shot into hedgehogs by the defenders of the city in an instant.

Lu Yi, who was located in the position of the Chinese army, saw that the cart and the crashing car were burned, and ordered with a cold face: "The stone throwing cart is aimed at the bed crossbow at the head of the city and fired, and the well fence and ladder are ready!" ”

Dozens of stone-throwing carts under the city swing out in a line, aiming at the bed crossbow at the head of the city, emitting stones the size of a human head.

Before the catapult under the city was launched, Xian Yufu had already asked the soldiers to cover the crossbow with thick straw mats, quilts and cowhides, and when he saw the huge stone bullets falling in the air, he shouted: "Order the catapults in the city to return fire immediately, and all the cadres hide behind the female wall!" ”

The stone projectile made a muffled pop and fell on the head of the city, on the top of the bed crossbow, and fell into the city and rolled somewhere.

The hundreds of stone-throwing trucks hidden in the city by Xian Yufuxue received the order and immediately fired towards the stone-throwing vehicle position outside the city, and suddenly saw stone bullets flying in the air, and everyone did not dare to expose their bodies to the path of the stone bullets.

A catapult battle, which resulted in the defenders of the city winning because the number of catapults in the city was superior.

The Yuan army outside the city pushed the well fence and the ladder cart to attack the city, Xian Yufu immediately asked the soldiers to remove the cover on the bed crossbow, and then aimed at these big guys and began to shoot round after round, and the stone throwing cart in the city also concentrated on the well fence and the ladder cart, and suddenly there was a miserable howl on the battlefield.

Seeing that the siege equipment was exhausted and still could not work, Lu Yi ordered the first camp, so that the soldiers could approach the city under the cover of the big shield and launch a fierce attack on the defenders at the head of the city with their crossbows.

Xian Yufu, who had already suffered a loss in the hands of the first camp, waited for this moment, and shouted to the soldiers in ambush in the city: "Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come, shoot me back!" ”

The crossbowmen waiting under the city worked in pairs, carrying heavy crossbows of human height, much larger than the short crossbow but smaller than the bed crossbow, and quickly went up to the city, and then aimed at the soldiers of the first camp below the city through the firing battlements and began to return fire.

The soldiers under Lu Yi who first entered the camp used a large individual crossbow that could only be pulled apart by stepping on their feet, while Xian Yufu sent out a reduced version of the bed crossbow that required the cooperation of two soldiers, and its power and range were even more powerful than the foot crossbow used in the first camp.

A fierce and short battle of crossbows soon ended, and the defenders of the city defeated the first camp under the city with the help of sharp weapons in their hands and the cover of the female wall.

The Xiandeng battalion carefully built by Lu Yi suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to the rear, and the day's offensive and defensive battle finally came to an end.

On the same night, Lu Yi launched another night attack, targeting the east gate of Nanpi City, but suffered a fierce counterattack from the defenders of the city, and after paying the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers, he withdrew from the battlefield in disgrace.

There were more than 10,000 defenders in Nanpi City, and although Lu Yi led 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, he did not have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, so after suffering two defeats in a row, he no longer dared to attack Nanpi City again.

In the art of war, it is said that ten will be surrounded, five will be attacked, and multiple will be divided. Once Xian Yufu has the determination to defend Nanpi, then Lu Yi will not have a chance to double it at all, similar to the ambush of Xian Yufu a few days ago, it will never reappear, so even if he has the means, he can only look at the temporarily heightened Nanpi City and sigh.

After staying outside the city for a few days, Lu Yi suddenly rose up and withdrew eastward in a panic.

There was news that Yan Liangbu, who had blocked Xu Rong, had withdrawn to the state, so Xu Rong's troops quickly came east to reinforce Nanpi.

Xian Yufu in Nanpi City watched the Yuan army withdraw outside the city, but did not send troops to pursue, but waited for Xu Rong's arrival in the city.

Fortunately, Xian Yufu endured it, otherwise he would have been ambushed by Koji Yi who pretended to be withdrawn!

It turned out that after receiving the secret report, Lu Yi calculated the time, and speculated that Xu Rong would not be able to reach Nanpi until three days at the earliest, so he deliberately let the army pretend to be panicked, and after crossing the Jiangshui, he ambushed not far from the west bank of the Jiangshui, and only waited for Xian Yufu to lead the army to pursue, and gave Xian Yufu a ruthless one.

The ambush was unsuccessful, and Lu Yi ventured to the south bank of Zhangshui to ambush Xu Rongbu, who came to reinforce him.

Xu Rong has always been cautious, and this time when he confronted Yan Liangjun in Xiaquyang, he didn't give Yan Liang anything to take advantage of, and finally forced Yan Liang to withdraw. When Yan Liang withdrew and the threat from the rear of Gaoyi withdrew, Lu Zhi was even more afraid of Yuan Shao, so he asked Xu Rong to go directly to Nanpi to reinforce Xian Yufu, and there was no need to come to Gaoyi to report.

When Xu Rong left Jicheng, he received an order to control Bohai County, but it was only because he found that the situation had changed during the march that he reinforced Gaoyi, and now Lu Zhi asked him to lead the army directly to Nanpi, which was exactly what he wanted.

Is Koji Yi very powerful? Xu Rong wanted to meet this famous Jizhou figure for a while.

On the shore of Zhangshui, Lu Yi counted the men and horses, and found that more than 5,000 people had been lost under Nanpi City this time, especially the Xiandeng camp that he was proud of had more than 700 people killed and wounded, and the loss was as high as 40%, which made him feel very annoyed.

Although the ambush of Xian Yufu outside Nanpi City gave Lu Yi a small victory, but the task of capturing Nanpi City was a failure, if he couldn't eat Xu Rong's 10,000 soldiers and horses this time, after he returned to Yecheng, he would have to be counted down and questioned by those few annoying military advisors in turn.

Sometimes, Lu Yi really felt that Yuan Shao's advisers were too many, and the positive effect didn't play much, but he did a lot of nonsense. (To be continued......)
