"Everyone, steady, steady, think about how I usually teach you!" Hao Shao cheered up these soldiers defending the city as he walked, the enemy under the city was getting closer and closer, and the faster ladders had already been set up on the walls of Gwangju.

"Aim well, and strive for a single hit!" Hao Shao knew that these soldiers were very nervous, nervous, nervous, who wouldn't be nervous, now it was only the first wave of enemy attacks, the first wave must have the enemy's contempt, their formation was scattered, not concentrated, some of the ladders that were first set up on Gwangju had been pushed down by a team of 100 people sent by Hao Shao, Hao Shao only had a thousand people on the city wall, and the remaining 1,000 people were used as backup troops, and 1,000 people were divided into two teams of 500 people by Hao Shao on both sides of the city wall.

Hao Shao dug a trench outside Gwangju, and it was not long, and the two sections of the trench added up to two-thirds of the city wall, and Hao Shao led the water source of the Huai River in the middle, so that he formed a section of the moat, only the middle section of the city gate was not dug and built, which was to facilitate the entry and exit of the city gate, and there was no suspension bridge above this ditch, which can be described as walking on the ground.

"The moat is well dug, but what good is a moat that is not fully dug!" Liu Bi looked coldly at the moat outside the city wall, Hao Shao's moat was dug very deeply, and people's words could not be passed without the help of tools, but the break in the middle was not dug up, which made Liu Pi criticized.

"The whole army charges, take Gwangju, and the commander of Benqu will be rewarded!" Liu Pi's anger at Hao Shao made him forget that he is now the assassin of Yuzhou, not the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and he can still pay attention to it in normal times, where can he take care of so much under this excitement.

Although Liu Bi's Yuzhou Army was formed by the Yellow Turban Army, these Yellow Turban Army were really a few elites, if it was a rabble. It has long been solved by Cao Cao, and it can still be arranged by Yuan Shao to be a thorn in his eye in front of him, the 20,000 Yuzhou army is the main force that Liu Pi is proud of, and it is because of them that Lao Cao did not clean himself up.

An army of 20,000 could not spread out in this small city of Gwangju. Therefore, you can only get on a team of 5,000 people, and there are moats on both sides, and if you want to go over, you have to spread the ladder on one side and set it on the river, and after the difficulty, step on the ladder to cross the river, and one can accidentally fall from the top of the ladder into the moat. This moat seems to know that it is very deep, and those who can swim can choke, and it is difficult to climb up if they fall, after all, the distance between the two sides of the moat is also very high, and falling if you can't swim is a dead end, so a large number of soldiers are not stupid. If you can't go on either side, you can naturally go to the middle.

A group of five thousand people scrambled towards the middle lot.

"I thought this young general Lu Bujun had a lot of ability, just build a section of the moat, and distribute this archer at both ends, this is to give us the middle gate wide open!" Liu Bei looked at this small Gwangju with a little disdain, the small city of Gwangju, if he took him, he would let those young generals of the Lu Bujun army who defended the city die without a place to be buried. Liu Bei is a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time. In his opinion, the moat should be perfect, and there should be a drawbridge on the moat, so that the defense of a city can reach an extreme, so that the enemy has no way to mouth, once the enemy attacks, just pull up the drawbridge, if the enemy wants to attack the city, then must cross the river, so that it can be a protracted battle.

"Huh?!" Pang Tong did not follow the general tactical thinking, because in the ordinary tactical thinking, the defense of this Gwangju City is really a bunch of criticism. The middle section of the flat road is a flat river, if you rush fast, you can quickly reach the city, and the moat on both sides has lost its meaning because of the middle of the flat river, but Pang Tong is a strategist, he will not consider the terrain like the generals. The generals attack the city, the strategists attack the heart, he thinks from a person's heart, his thoughts, he is thinking about what this Hao Shao, this Lu Bu's young general is thinking!

Why didn't he build his moat halfway through, was it because he didn't have enough time? Pang Tong is looking at the entire city of Gwangju! No, if there is not enough time, then there should still be places that have not been started, or halfway through the construction, but the Gwangju moat in Pang Tong's eyes is intact, which shows that there is not enough time at all, if there is not enough time, then it should be dug down one by one!

Is it a shortage of manpower? Pang Tong vetoed again, if there is not enough manpower, then it is better not to dig, because such a moat that exposes the middle section has no effect, and the moat can be completely bypassed, if so, what is the point of the moat.

Pang Tong looked at the city wall, Hao Shao divided a thousand archers into left and right, a team of five hundred people, at both ends of the city wall, in the middle of the place of a flat river was vacant! Pang Tong couldn't figure it out, the archers, you should also arrange them in the center, and there will be no one to go to the moat on both sides.

Pang Tong didn't understand, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, because this young general of the Lu Bu army was not like the kind of person who had no ability, which could be seen from the fact that he was surrounded by enemies ten times his size and did not surrender.

Pang Tong's uneasiness was really realized after a while, yes, the middle section was deliberately left by Hao Shao himself, Gwangju is a small city, even if the entire city is surrounded by a moat, what can he do, there are so many defenders, and there can't be much grain and grass in it, and the location of Gwangju is not dangerous, I can completely spare you if you fence the moat, and the thousands of soldiers in your city can still run out to fight with me!

Instead of bothering to build such a large moat, it is better to build a section of the moat, this section of the moat can naturally play a role in protecting Gwangju, and the remaining section does not build it It also makes sense, because this section of the city wall is not a moat, Gwangju is not in danger, no matter which general sees it, it will only regard Gwangju as a fat to the mouth, a credit, as long as the army bypasses the moat from the middle and sets up a ladder above Gwangju, this Gwangju city can be pulled outAfter all, how many soldiers can there be in the small city?

Liu Bei thought so, Liu Bi also thought so, and Hao Shao really wanted them to think so. It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, and no one will go to the moat to reach the bottom of Gwangju Castle with thankless effort, but will crowd on that section of flat land.

5,000 people is not much, compared to the large-scale battle in Guandusheng, I am afraid that if it is thrown into the battlefield, it will not even be able to bubble up. But here there are more than 5,000 people more than twice as many as Hao Shao's subordinates, surging under this Gwangju city, directly blocking that section of the flat land, although Liu Pi's Yellow Turban Army entered in a sequence when crossing the moat and did not cause a riot, but what does it matter.

The corners of Hao Shao's mouth turned into a sneer. His hand rose high, and more and more soldiers poured into the flat area.

"Shoot!" Hao Shao's mouth spat out this word, and with his order, a thousand archers rained down the arrows in their hands towards that section of the flat ground.

"Raise your shield!" Watching the rain of arrows fall, Liu Bi shouted loudly, he was a little disdainful, he had a giant shield in the front row before the siege. This rain of arrows was nothing short of a drizzle for his troops with huge shields in front of them, and as long as he waited for his troops to rush under the city walls and rush up, this small city of Gwangju would be destroyed! He, Liu Bi, can also avenge his idol for being ashamed and angry.

What Liu Bi disdained the most was that this young general of the Lu Bu Army distributed the archers on both sides, and if he concentrated a thousand people in the middle, then it might bring harm to his subordinates. Now, what can these scattered archers do in front of the great arrows.

As soon as the corners of Liu Bi's mouth were filled with hideousness, he was about to watch his subordinate Yuzhou army rush to the city and then charge with his personal guards, his hands had already been raised, but he couldn't put it down when he lifted it, because the scene in front of him made him stunned.

The bows and arrows that fell from the tower of Gwangju Castle shot past the giant shield and towards his men as if they had opened their eyes, and the thousand archers who had been scattered not only did not become useless people that Liu Pi disdained in his mouth. On the contrary, it is more terrifying than the rain of thousands of arrows gathered together.

The soldiers who rushed in front were like leeks, and Hao Shaojun above was a sickle, under a rain of arrows, he basically covered the entire flat land without any arrows, and it can be said that the entire flat land was taken care of by the rain of arrows at 360 degrees.

Some people were hit by more than one arrow, and some arrows directly penetrated the first person and shot at the person behind, and before Liu Bi could react, the second wave of arrow rain fell again! This time the casualties were more hit.

"How so?!" Under the tower of Gwangju City, Liu Pi is not the only one who is paying attention to this siege battle, there are also Liu Bei and Pang Tong. There is also Zhang Xiujun, they didn't expect that the bow and arrows scattered could cause more damage than they were concentrated, Zhang Xiu calculated in his heart, if a thousand archers were placed in the middle, it would be terrible to cause hundreds of injuries at most. After all, on the battlefield, the damage of bows and arrows to people is almost ten to one or even twenty to one, after all, no one is a natural archer, and you have to know that the garrison, the garrison has to be an archer and a city guard, it can be said that it is impossible to be proficient in bows and arrows, but now it is a record of shooting, and at least thousands of people are killed by being shot and wounded.

How could it not! Hao Shao was also taken aback by his achievements, he didn't expect that he could cause such damage after separating a thousand archers, and his idea of dispersing it still came from his young lord Liu Mang.

It was Liu Mang who said it in a joke, instead of putting the archers together, it is better to spread them out, and put half of the two sides in the middle, so that crossfire can be formed, so that the output damage can be maximized, Liu Mang thought of it when he was talking about it at the time, using the power of crossfire in the trenches, but he didn't expect it to be used by Hao Shao on cold weapons.

If a thousand archers are placed on the front, under Liu Pi's giant shield, at most they will throw over the giant shield and hurt some soldiers behind, but a lot of arrows will become redundant, or it will be a dozen or twenty arrows in a person, and there is no difference between planting ten arrows and twenty arrows, because they are all dead ends anyway, and now they are different, scattered and crossed, not only avoiding the giant shields in the first row, but also the coverage of the bow and arrows is gone, It can be said that the two flanks of Liu Pi's siege were completely exposed to the attack of Hao Shao's archers.

Wave after wave of arrow rain made Liu Pi's eyes almost come out.

Strike while the iron is hot, Hao Shao doesn't know, originally he just believed in Liu Mang incomparably, Hao Shao made such a deployment, he didn't expect it to have such a good effect, if Hao Shao didn't know how to use it, it would be a fool.

"Rush over, rush over!" Liu Bi was also angry, the Yuzhou Army under his command was his capital, the reason why Liu Bei wrote to the imperial court to give Liu Pi a Yuzhou Assassin History, in addition to because Liu Bi gave his Runan to Liu Bei, but also because of the 20,000 elite Yellow Turban Army under Liu Pi, Liu Bei was embarrassed to seize military power from Liu Bi, so in order to appease Liu Bi, Liu Bi also made Liu Bi the third position of the generals under Liu Beijun.

The first two, one is Guan Yu and the other is Zhang Fei, and he did it before Chen arrived. He also commanded an army alone.

If the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army is lost, then Liu Bei will really consider letting Liu Bi be a deputy general.

"Rush over! Rush over! “
