Chapter Twenty-Four: The Battle to the Death

Du Chen looked at the behemoth slowly coming over in the distance on the city wall, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's a cloud ladder...... Well? I bought a big gold watch last year, damn Zhang Yan, and even made a well, now I have some fun! ”

The ladders in ancient times are a little different from the ladders of today, especially the ladder, which looks more like a shelf, and after approaching the city wall, the yellow turban soldiers on it can hook the city wall with iron hooks, so that the yellow turban under it can continue to climb the city wall. This thing is prepared for crossbowmen, because when attacking the city, the defenders on the city wall have great lethality against the soldiers besieging the city below. The height of the Yellow Turban Army can almost be equal to the south gate of Xuzhou, divided into three layers, and there are more than 1,000 Yellow Turbans. There are as many as five such wells! And there are more ladders, I'm afraid there are more than a dozen! Zhang Yan's heart to attack the city is very urgent. Could it be that the yellow scarf has no food? Du Chen's muttering happened to be heard by Tao Qian, who nodded secretly. Most of the Yellow Turbans gathered around the ladder and slowly leaned towards the south gate, unlike before, now they all held a piece of poorly made wooden shields in their hands, probably to reduce casualties. "Mowgli!" Du Chen began to order. "The subordinates are here!" "The crossbowmen are under your control, and you will defend against the enemy according to the method I just described!" "Yes!" Fang Yue took the order and left. "Master Tao!" "The old man is here!" Tao Qian said imposingly. "Have you ever prepared something boiling oil?" Tao Qian glanced at the inner city, and saw a team of people in the city rushing to the south gate, and immediately said, "We have reached the south gate!" "My lord, I'll leave this matter to you!" "Don't worry, Du Xiaoyou, this matter is handed over to the old man!" Du Chen looked at the well and was silent for a long time. This really made one of them anxious, Tao Ying waited for a long time, didn't see Du Chen speak, stepped forward and said, "Why do you ignore your subordinates!" "......" Du Chen seemed to hesitate, looked at Tao Ying and said, "I heard that your martial arts are not weak?" Tao Ying was a little surprised, and then said proudly, "A certain person has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he is naturally not weak!" Du Chen nodded, pointed to the five wells and said, "I am very worried about this, can Zicheng be sure?" Tao Ying took a closer look, and saw that under the five wells, there were many thieves, and they really couldn't be underestimated, but he smiled slightly and said, "With hundreds of elite soldiers under his subordinates, his subordinates went to burn this thing!" "Don't be underestimated!" Du Chen said in a heavy voice. "The subordinates are willing to lead the writ!" Du Chen looked at Tao Ying for a long time and said, "I ...... with you a thousand elite soldiers" "We must succeed!" Tao Ying replied with a smile. Could it be that he is really powerful? Du Chen glanced at Tao Ying strangely, a little strange, then why did Tao Qian still let Xuzhou give it to Liu Bei? "Woo......" The Yellow Turban Army blew the horn, and the drums shook the sky, and a group of Yellow Turbans slaughtered towards the east gate. Beat the drums! Du Chen shouted in a deep voice. Kick and kick ......" The war drums on Xuzhou's side also sounded. "Archers, crossbowmen on alert! Listen to me! Fang Yue shouted loudly, "All the archers are divided into two teams, and the crossbowmen are divided into three teams!" "All the archers are divided into two teams, and the crossbowmen are divided into three teams!" Seeing Fang Yue say this, the low-level generals of the Xuzhou Army shouted one after another. Soon the team was divided. Fang Yue glanced outside the city, only to see that the yellow turban had reached the firing range, and immediately shouted, "Archers of the front team, shoot!" "Shoot." Hundreds of arrows whizzed by. "The front team takes a step back and takes the arrow, and the back team steps forward and shoots!" "Shoot!" The crowd shouted again, and hundreds of arrows were fired at the Yellow Turban phalanx. "The back team backs up, the front team steps forward, shoot!" "The front team back up, the back team step forward, shoot!" Using this tactic, the Xuzhou army once suppressed the archers of the Yellow Turban Army, so that they hid behind the cover of the well and did not dare to show their heads. And the ordinary yellow scarf under it suffered even more, and the lucky ones used a wooden shield to survey and block the bow and arrows, but then they were shot dead by the next wave, and the unlucky ones were shot to death. "Huh?" Zhang Yan frowned and looked at the arrows flying out of the east gate of Xuzhou, which were simply wave after wave, endless. "Jing Yan stepped forward! Suppress! The ladder is tight! The first to climb the city wall, reward! "The world is really the most terrible army that is not afraid of death, risking the bow and arrow of Xuzhou City, the well is slowly moving forward, and the archers and crossbowmen on it have shot back. Fang Yue looked at it, and knew that it was time to use the crossbowman, Mr. Du said, the crossbowman is even more powerful at close range, so he didn't use it just now, and now that the other party's well-cut cloud ladder is in front, it is the right time. "Crossbowmen listen to me!" Fang Yue handed over the archer's shouting order to the deputy, and came to the crossbowmen himself, "The front team shoots!" "With a sharp shot, dozens of thieves immediately fell above the well." The front team crouches down and loads the arrows! Squadron shot! "Dense crossbow arrows are more powerful than bows and arrows at close range, and where can the wooden shields of the thieves be used on the ground, and the shields are broken and killed, and they fall down ladders or wells." The squadron crouches, the rear team shoots! "Wait until the rear team has finished shooting, and the front team has already loaded the arrows," the rear team loads the arrows on the spot, and the front team gets up and shoots! "It was really like a rain of arrows, whistling endlessly, if other armies suffered such a blow, they would have been defeated a long time ago, but the yellow turban deserved to be the yellow turban, and rushed to the east gate under the rain of arrows. Bang! After paying extremely heavy casualties, the first ladder hooked up to the city wall, and I saw more than ten yellow scarves on the ladder frame jumping onto the city wall with red eyes. Du Chen shouted, "Kill!" "One of them has already been killed, "Come with me, gentlemen!" "It's Tao Ying! Tao Ying is really extraordinary, he stepped forward and defeated more than ten yellow turbans by himself, and then jumped on the ladder, and started to kill, and from time to time the yellow scarves fell down the ladder. Du Chen was suddenly in a hurry, this is the boss's son, "Zicheng!" Be careful! Tao Ying listened to the words and looked at it, only to see a nearby well shoot countless arrows, and his mind was tense at the moment, the gun was like a white dragon, waving non-stop, and he actually blocked all the arrows. Such a cow! Du Chen was dumbfounded, and when Tao Ying flew back, he looked at his forehead, and suddenly saw Tao Ying's forehead, a layer of cold sweat. "Fortunately, the young master is strong in martial arts...... Tao Ying had palpitations. Du Chen was speechless for a moment, and when he saw that Tao Qian had arrived, he shouted loudly, "Lord Tao! Tao Qian knew what Du Chen meant by shouting, and immediately ordered, "All the gentlemen come forward and take the boiling oil!" At this time, the second and third ladders were also hooked up to the city wall, and on the ladders, many yellow scarves showed crazy colors......

"Meet the enemy with me!" Tao Yingshi led a group of Xuzhou elite soldiers to rush over, if those yellow turbans attacked the city wall, the yellow scarves must be greatly boosted. Du Chen was very anxious, glanced at the side anxiously, and said to the left and right, "Take a hand crossbow with me!" I was stunned left and right, and thought: Should this gentleman also step forward to meet the enemy? Immediately remembered Tao Qian's words, and immediately said eagerly, "Mr. Du is only in charge, and the matter of meeting the enemy is still handed over to the generals......" Du Chen glanced left and right, and said in his heart: "I just want to increase my courage......" Tao Qian led a thousand Xuzhou elite soldiers, poured boiling oil, and the yellow scarves below screamed miserably. "Ignition! Burn this thing! Tao Qian pointed to the ladder and said. The ladder was already outside the moat, and it was hooked up to the city wall by a wooden board and iron hook, and if it was burned, the yellow scarf would definitely not be able to pass. But Tao Qian ignored the madness of the Yellow Turbans, and those Yellow Turban elite soldiers rushed over with fire, jumped into the city wall, and slaughtered them, but they were immediately beheaded into meat sauce by the Xuzhou elite soldiers. At this time, the five wells have arrived, and the city wall of the south gate of Xuzhou is across the river, and the yellow turban bow and crossbow on it shoot back, causing great casualties. "Raise your shield! Raise your shield! Du Chen shouted loudly, and immediately a pair of shield soldiers stepped forward to protect the crossbowmen, and the arrows of the yellow turban smashed on the iron shield, clanging. Naturally, there were some guards who were desperately protecting Du Chen, and Du Chen shouted loudly, "What are you doing to protect me!" "However, no matter what he said, those guards just didn't leave, and surrounded Du Chen to death." Tao Ying! Du Chen shouted. When Tao Ying heard this, he immediately understood, flew down the city wall, and ordered a thousand elite soldiers. The 1,000 elite soldiers were already waiting in the city, but they were not allowed to move out of order, and seeing the huge casualties on their side, their eyes were red and red, and they heard that Tao should come to order the generals, and their morale was greatly boosted. "Open the gates! Kill the enemy with me! Tao shouted at the gatekeepers. The gates slowly opened, and the drawbridge was lowered. "Generals!" Tao said to the soldiers behind him, "Although this trip is nine deaths! We must not take a step back! "Fight to the death!" "Fight to the death!" The whole army responded. "Out!" Tao Ying stepped on a white horse and led the army out of the city gate. Zhang Yan looked carefully from a distance, first for a while, and then immediately came to his senses, and immediately shouted, "Hold the well!" "But the battlefield is so noisy, how can it be heard? The Yellow Turban soldiers on the left and right looked at it and couldn't, so they had to go to convey Zhang Yan's order. Tao Ying, a thousand elite soldiers, carried the things that ignited the fire and killed them out of the city gate. Tao Ying is even more in the lead, waving a silver spear, no one is the enemy of one of his moves, it is majestic, but there are many yellow scarves, and he desperately rushed to the south gate after Tao Ying. Tao Ying shouted, "Soldiers! Victory or defeat in one fell swoop! Fight to the death! "Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"
