After everyone slowly withdrew from their tents, Wang Xu fell into deep thought: this battle was the most difficult and dangerous battle since he left home. The sect member's words just now are right, the current tactics are very flawed, as long as the other party can seize the opportunity, it will definitely be more defeats and fewer wins. But Frustration's words are not wrong, as long as the two armies of the Yellow Turbans are cut off and they are not allowed to cooperate with each other, with the current situation of the Yellow Turbans, the chances of victory are very high.

But who should go first to attack the city later?

The current situation must not be concealed from the generals, otherwise once the rear attack, the generals will be in chaos first. But after telling them, everyone will understand what the danger of the besiegers will be, and if the rear is lost, the troops who are besieging the city will die. At present, although this army has been gathered together because of its prestige and sincerity, but after all, it is not enough to understand, and it has not won their full trust, this kind of crisis will inevitably make the generals scruple in their hearts, if they can't fight bravely to be the first, how can they break through Guangzong when their troops are overstretched?

Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, in fact, it was not that he really did not have a suitable candidate, but it was really difficult to make a decision. Because the most suitable general is Wang Fei, and the most suitable first batch of siege soldiers and horses is his original detachment, with them taking the lead, how can the generals still be suspicious? But now that we are leading the way in this situation, the casualties are the greatest......

Just as Wang Xu was pondering alone in the tent, hesitating in his heart, the curtain was suddenly lifted again. Before Wang Xu could react, Wang Fei had already walked in quickly. "Third brother, I heard that the city is going to be attacked, so I'll fight the first battle!"

said, without waiting for Wang Xu to speak, he smiled and continued: "Recently, you have always asked me to be in charge of logistics, and it should be time for me to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly smiled bitterly at his second brother, he didn't know what to say, he was trying to make him safer, but he took the initiative to come and ask for battle. "Second brother, presumably you have also been informed of the current situation, do you know the danger of the current siege? Aside from the identity of the main general, I am close to you and you, and it doesn't matter whether you make meritorious service or not, but if you really have any accidents, how can you let me explain to my uncle? ”

Seeing that Wang Xu directly broke the matter, Wang Fei's smile slowly faded, and his face gradually became solemn. They looked at each other silently for a long time before they sighed and said: "Third brother, last time I was ambushed, you let me and Xu Shu go first, although it was the correct tactic, but I still feel guilty in my heart now, this time you let me go!" ”

After speaking, seeing that Wang Xu was still a little hesitant, Wang Fei gritted his teeth, but suddenly blamed: "Third brother, you are actually wrong to do this, although I know that you are doing it for my good." But you are the main general, and it is precisely because you and I are close relatives that I should be more in front of everything, otherwise how can the generals in the army be convinced? Do you know why I suddenly came to war? It was because of the order just now that the generals in the army were a little frightened, and under the discussion of the crowd, they suddenly talked about the fact that I always stayed in the rear and took care of logistics. In the past, everyone didn't care about even the victory, but now in this moment of crisis, these small factors are the key to affecting the morale of the army! Although people didn't say it directly, I didn't feel a taste in my heart. As a warrior, how can I always be under your protection? ”

Hearing Wang Fei's words, Wang Xu was really speechless. In fact, he does intend to take care of Wang Fei many times, mainly because of psychological factors, many times he unconsciously treats this blood brother as a younger brother to protect. This is not to say that he doesn't care about Gao Shun, Xu Huang or Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing, but subconsciously regards them as good brothers who can fight side by side, and Wang Fei, like Xu Shu, has become the object of his protection.

Thinking about the current situation and Wang Fei's words, Wang Xu pondered for a long time before finally sighing and slowly speaking: "Okay! But the second brother must be more careful. ”

Seeing that Wang Xu finally relented, Wang Fei smiled slightly, but nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry!" I won't joke with my own life, but I will definitely not insult the prestige of my royal family. ”

At this moment, Wang Xu was in a heavy mood, and he had no intention of talking nonsense anymore, so he shook his head helplessly, and pulled Wang Fei out of the military tent together.

An hour passed quickly, leaving Zhao Rui to lead 3,000 cavalry to dismantle the camp behind and advance seven miles to set up camp, Wang Xu arrived at the city of Guangzong with a large army. And Xu Huang, who was recalled, had already arrived first, and was already waiting outside Guangzong City with soldiers and horses.

After listening to the report of Han Juzi, who was in charge of monitoring Guangzong, he realized that he had intercepted several Yellow Turban spies who wanted to enter Guangzong. Seeing that no one had entered or left Guangzong, Wang Xu finally stopped hesitating and immediately issued an order to attack the city.

Just when all the generals were anxious in their hearts that they didn't want to point to themselves first, Wang Xu didn't even look at them, and shouted in a deep voice: "Wang Fei, Han Meng is out of the ranks!" ”

"In!"

"The two of you led 1,300 infantry soldiers of our army, and 2,000 infantry soldiers under General Zong's account as the first echelon, go down quickly and prepare, and the siege equipment will be selected by you!"

"No!"

Looking at the firm eyes of the two, Wang Xu nodded and didn't say anything more. Immediately, he issued all the orders in one breath: "Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi!" Let the two of you lead the infantry of the headquarters as the second echelon, ready to stand by at any time! Zhang You and Huang Xiu, order you two to be the third ......"

With Wang Xu's shouting, the generals continued to receive orders one after another. Moreover, Wang Xu first let his cronies and generals play a very good role, these people are no longer a little shrunken like at the beginning, and it is obvious that the momentum is very different. And the sect members and frustrated scholars who were listening quietly beside him also nodded quietly.

As the order was given, Wang Xu did not stop at all, and immediately shouted loudly and prolonged: "Catapult ready!" This long roar was unusually loud in the empty and quiet battlefield, and it reverberated in the air for a long time.

Soon, there were also continuous responses from the rear of the army, and the man's rough roar added a momentum to the entire army.

"The first tun is ready!"

"The second tun is ready!"

"Third Tun ......"

It wasn't until he heard that the tenth tun had also been prepared, and Wang Xu finally took a deep breath. There were ten trebuchets in these ten troopers, and they had used up all the resources they could raise for more than half a month to make them. This is one of the two most important siege equipment for him, and he has high hopes!

"Concentrate on shooting the central tower of the city wall and launch!" With Wang Xu's roar that shook the sky, "Bang! Boom! Boom! The violent strange sound was also immediately remembered. Round stones of dozens of catties roared past both sides of the military formation, threw them high into the air, and smashed towards the city wall of Guangzong.

And the roars of countless people suddenly sounded on the city wall.

"Hide!"

"Hide under the battlements!"

"The brethren find their own obstacles to hide!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The loud sound of falling rocks was really shocking.

But the moment Wang Xu saw the results of the battle, he immediately scolded angrily: "What kind of crosshair, why is there only one stone hit!" ”

Seeing this, the sect member on the side immediately smiled bitterly and said: "General, I have long said that this trebuchet is not very easy to use, it is difficult to manufacture, not to mention, and the accuracy is not high, and it is not very effective for building a relatively solid masonry city wall. ”

"Hey!" Sighing, Wang Xu's lips moved, but he still couldn't help but scold anymore. He also knows this, after all, the catapult only appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is a very primitive kind, although the development has made progress until now, but it is still far from the kind of catapult that can be freely disassembled and assembled, has an accurate scale, and can throw hundreds of catties of boulders at every turn. However, he was reluctant to abandon this best siege weapon, after all, it was always the most powerful in terms of power.

However, the soldiers behind were not fools, and after finding that they didn't hit, they were constantly adjusting the angle, and the distance between the stones thrown and the city wall was getting closer and closer. By the time of the fourth shot, he could already hit five out of ten, but this is the limit. However, although this stone weighs only a few dozen catties, it is still quite powerful after being thrown onto the yellow turban wall, smashing a lot of gaps in the city wall, and with the increase in the hit rate, after killing many people, the psychological pressure is even more terrifying, and the yellow scarves on the city wall are all frightened by those flying stones.

In the tenth round, Wang Xu saw that all the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall were dodging, so he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to take the opportunity to advance under the cover of the infantry holding large shields and suppress the city wall.

As the rain of arrows fell towards the city, although the accuracy and damage were not great, it was another blow to the terrified Yellow Turban soldiers. Almost all of them hid under the battlements.

Seeing that the yellow scarf had lost the opportunity in vain, Wang Xu was immediately overjoyed. It seems that there are really no capable people in the Yellow Turban Army. After glancing at the sect member and the frustrated master, the three of them all had smiles on their faces.

Wang Xu immediately did not hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered the command flag of the catapult in charge of the rear to wave and ask them to stop shooting. At the same time, instead of ordering the drumming, Wang Fei and Han Meng were asked to immediately lead the first echelon that had been assembled to charge, and they were not allowed to roar.

The two of them comprehended, and took advantage of this opportunity to immediately take the soldiers to carry the ladders, hook ladders and other things and quickly rushed towards the city wall. Without the bows and arrows on the walls, how fast would the army charge during the siege? Wang Xu saw it this time, at least a third faster than what he had seen in his usual field battles.

This also made Wang Xu sigh extremely in his heart, and it seems that he still has to learn to use the sense of crisis in the soldier's heart reasonably in the future. Soldiers are also people, and they also think, just like now. When the soldiers saw that the yellow turbans on the city wall were suppressed, they all closed their mouths and rushed desperately, and without restraint, no fool would open his mouth and shout: I haven't run yet, you stand up and shoot me......

However, as they got closer to the city wall, the dense footsteps finally aroused the idea of the Yellow Turban, and suddenly some generals and many brave soldiers raised their heads, and when they saw that the dense Han soldiers had already arrived in the city, they immediately roared in horror.

"Ahh The Han soldiers have been killed in the city! ”

"The Han army rushed over."

However, these people forgot about the dense rain of arrows of the Han army at this moment because they were frightened, and many people who showed their heads were immediately shot into hedgehogs. However, those generals were better than ordinary people after all, and they reacted suddenly, shouting one after another: "The archers immediately return fire!" ”

However, these fools have given up the suppressive power of superiority, and now it is difficult to counter-suppress, and many soldiers have just appeared and been shot into hedgehogs.

Seeing those hook ladders with barbed hooks hooking the edge of the city wall, Wang Fei and Han Meng both seized the opportunity to start climbing quickly with a large number of soldiers, Wang Xu suddenly shouted: "The crossbowmen stop shooting and rest in place." The second echelon is ready to charge. ”

After speaking, seeing the flag dancing, the various departments quickly executed the order, and immediately took in enough breath and shouted: "Drum cheering!" ”
