Ten miles away, a little more than four thousand meters, for these strong men in the army, even with heavy smoke carts and trebuchets, it was only less than an hour to arrive.

The soldiers of Yuan Shu in the city had already seen the Xuzhou army coming, Liu Xun and other generals had already gone to the city wall, and all the equipment to defend the city was also neatly placed, just waiting for the Xuzhou army to attack the city.

After the last battle, Sergeant Yuan Shu had already developed a fear of the Xuzhou army, and now when he saw that the Xuzhou army was really coming, one or two suddenly looked colorless.

Liu Xun looked at the soldiers beside him, and suddenly said loudly: "Haha, the Xuzhou army doesn't even have decent siege equipment, and only with these smoke carts, catapults and high ladders, they want to capture the city that I heavily defended?" What a joke! ”

Li Feng, who was beside him, heard this, and immediately echoed loudly: "That's it!" They are coming to attack the city, we are defending the city, we have the advantage! Haha, it's ridiculous, there is not even a wind today, what are they doing with a cigarette car? Barbecue? ”

Liang Gang also smiled and said, "With these 10,000 people, can you attack the city?" Xuzhou Jun won't be stupid, right? ”

Several people deliberately spoke loudly, and their words were heard by the soldiers next to them, and the hearts of the soldiers suddenly calmed down a lot. Yes, the Xuzhou army is attacking the city, the number is still so small, and there are no decent siege equipment, what are we afraid of? Hmph, we can't beat you in the field, but if we defend the city, we won't be afraid of you!

Liu Xun suddenly shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order!" ”

All the generals and colonels in the city said in unison: "No! ”

"Kill one enemy, reward one gold, kill three enemies, the official is promoted to one level! Those who kill ten enemies will be promoted to three levels! Brothers, fight hard, tonight, there will be wine and meat! ”

The soldiers of Yuan Shujun burst into cheers, and their eyes turned green! One gold, one reward for killing the enemy, how much is this?

Outside the city, Tian Fan's mood was also very relaxed. He looked at the weather and said in a low voice: "God help me, haha, there is no wind at all!" ”

Looking at the soldiers around him, he shouted: "Brothers, today's lunch, I invite everyone to Shu County to eat, haha, Liu Xun's house is ready for everyone, did you hear what he said?" He said there was wine and meat! ”

The soldiers burst into laughter and shouted: "Go to Shu County for lunch, there is wine and meat!" ”

When the soldiers quieted down, Tian Fan said in a deep voice: "Wei Yan listens to the order!" ”

Wei Yan hugged his fists and said, "The last will be!" ”

"You will lead 2,000 people from the headquarters and place 200 cigarette carts for me at a distance of thirty paces outside the city! Remember, there must be enough distance of three steps between the cars to allow the soldiers behind to carry the high ladder through, but there must not be too much space! After ignition, return immediately! ”

Wei Yan said in a loud voice: "No! ”

Tian Fan looked at Guan Ping and said, "Guan Ping listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"You take the soldiers of your department and operate the catapult! Remember, these catapults don't have a long range, only seventy or eighty paces, and they must be fired only when they are lit and at a distance of thirty paces from them! After launching the four hundred jars, return them immediately! ”

"The last will be ordered!"

Tian Fan looked at Tang Yi, Tang Er, He Yi, He Man, Wang Da Cake, Peng Hai, Wu Peng, and said in a deep voice: "You seven are the people who carry the high ladder to the city, remember for me, after going to the city, first replace the other party's flag with ours, Tang Yi and my own soldiers will guard the city tower and guard our banner, and Wang Da Cake and the three of you will take the remaining seven hundred warriors to open the city gate!" ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "After the city gate is opened, give me a few shouts, let us all know!" Also, no matter how fierce the enemy's counterattack is, you must defend the gates for me! ”

The seven people clasped their fists and said, "No! ”

Wang Dapan, Wu Peng, and Peng Hai were all the first to enter the camp. Wu Peng was the leader of the second part of the camp first, that is, the leader of the group of people who carried a ten-stone crossbow and a five-stone crossbow, while Peng Hai was the leader of the third part, that is, the leader of the part of the people who carried a five-stone crossbow and a steel knife at their waist. All three of them are rare warriors in the army. …,

Tian Fan bowed slightly, looked at all the generals in the army, and said, "In the first stage, only Wen Chang and Dingguo have something to do, you wait a minute." After the gates are opened, it's the second stage! In the second stage, Ling Ming, first your cavalry will rush in first and drive away the enemy near the city gate. Then, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Shi Hua, Shi Lu, the four of you will control the four gates for me, and then kill the enemies who resist! ”

Pang De, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Shi Hua, and Shi Lu hugged their fists and promised.

Tian Fan nodded, looked at Pang De, and said, "Ling Ming, after all the troops enter the city, you give me the horses to patrol the city, and don't give the enemy any chance to assemble." ”

Pound clenched his fists and said, "No! ”

Koji Yi was anxious, and after talking for a long time, there was nothing to do without him! He hurriedly said, "Boguang, what about me?" ”

Tian Fan smiled slightly and said, "How can I forget you?" After Tang Yi and Wang Da Cake opened the city, there would be nothing to do, they would immediately change back to the iron armor, take the original weapons, and attack Liu Xun's Great General's Mansion with the two of us! You look at it, how? ”

Koji nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, good!" ”

Looking up at the sky, it's about nine o'clock in the morning, right?

He glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all looking at him, one or two with a sparkle in their eyes, and it was obvious that they were waiting for his own orders!

Tian Fan looked at Wei Yan and said, "Wen Chang, let's start!" ”

Wei Yan clenched his fists and promised, turned around and shouted, "Brothers, push on the cigarette cart and follow me!" ”

His two thousand soldiers agreed in unison, pushed the smoke cart and slowly advanced to the city of Shu County.

There is no river near Shu County, so naturally there will be no moat, which means that the city defense must be excellent. In fact, the defense of this city is indeed extraordinary. The city wall is tall and heavy, paved with bluestone, and there are many arrow towers made of bluestone. This kind of city wall, if you use the trebuchet brought by Tian Fan, you are afraid that it will only collapse after a lifetime.

Therefore, Liu Xun is really not worried. If the Xuzhou army wants to attack the city, they must go to the city wall, but they don't even have a cloud ladder, what are they afraid of?

Seeing Wei Yan approaching with a cigarette cart, he immediately raised his right hand and shouted, "Be on guard, prepare to release arrows!" ”

Thousands of archers on the city walls, gates, and arrow towers immediately bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

In order to attack the city, Tian Fan made sufficient preparations. Among the 2,000 foot soldiers led by Wei Yan, half of them carried large shields to protect the soldiers who were struggling to push the smoke cart. On top of the cigarette cart, shields were also placed to give the soldiers all-round protection.

Wei Yan held a shield and pushed a cigarette cart while shouting: "Brothers, work hard, it's coming soon!" ”

There were still three hundred steps away, and Liu Xun shouted: "Defend the city crossbow, let it be on me!" ”

As dozens of loud soldiers roared in unison, dozens of crossbows guarding the city on the city wall roared angrily, and dozens of crossbow arrows like spears made a terrible whistling sound, and flew straight to Wei Yan's soldiers.

I only listened to the sound of "puff puff" endlessly, but it was just a round of unison, more than 10 cigarette cars were damaged, and dozens of soldiers were killed and wounded. The screams of the wounded soldiers reached the ears of the officers and men of the two armies, making them feel very different.

Wei Yan yelled, "Brothers, speed up, speed up! ”

After roaring, he placed the shield on the cigarette cart, held the handrail on the cigarette cart with both hands, and pushed it up with all his might.

The sergeants were inspired by him and pushed hard, and the speed of the cigarette cart immediately rose on a large scale!

The crossbow is powerful and has a long range, but it is particularly difficult to wind, and it is generally not used a few times when defending the city. When the Yuan Shu sergeant struggled to pull the crossbow string and wind the crossbow defending the city, Wei Yan had already entered the distance of two hundred miles.

Liu Xun shouted: "Archer, release the arrow!" ”

The city is tall and can increase part of the range of the feather arrows, but at this distance, the feather arrows are not very powerful. What's more, Wei Yan's soldiers were tightly protected by the big shield, and this round of more than 2,000 feather arrows did not cause many casualties. However, a few feather arrows were inserted on each side of the tree, and they were evenly ruthless! …,

However, a few unlucky eggs were still shot down by feather arrows. They fell to the ground and wailed, but before they could scream, they were nailed to the ground by the second round of feathered arrows, and they could no longer scream!

At this time, Wei Yan had already reached a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and the city defense crossbow fired again, shooting several smoke carts and wounding dozens of soldiers. Wei Yan couldn't help but be a little anxious, he shouted: "Brothers, there are still one hundred and twenty steps away, so hard! ”

Liu Xun can no longer be as safe as Mount Tai on the city wall, although he doesn't know what Tian Fan wants to do with a smoke car, but if something is abnormal, he is a demon, in short, it is not used for barbecue! Whatever they want to do, stop it! He shouted, "Let me release the arrows, let me release the arrows!" ”

The archers continued to shoot arrows, and at this time they had already shot nearly ten feathered arrows, somewhat sore and weak. Hearing that Liu Xun was in a hurry, they hurriedly rose up and shot again.

As the distance got closer and closer, the power of the feather arrows also increased, Wei Yan was in a hurry again, the formation was a little scattered, the formation of the canopy was not so tight, and his soldiers suffered more casualties.

Finally, at the cost of nearly five hundred dead and wounded, they came to a position thirty paces from the city.

Wei Yan yelled: "Brothers, light the fire, light the fire! ”

There were torches placed on the cigarette cart, and the soldiers immediately lit the smoke items in the iron bucket on the cigarette cart, and after a short time, a thick stream of smoke rose out of thin air and flew straight into the sky.

Wei Yan saw that the cigarette cart had been lit, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

The soldiers listened to the order and hurriedly stepped back with their stakes in their hands.

Liu Xun kept asking the soldiers to release arrows, but at this time, the smoke was rising, and it was difficult for the soldiers in the city to see the Xuzhou soldiers in the distance.

When Wei Yan's soldiers ran back in a panic, the number of people was checked, and the casualties were about 600, Tian Fan thought it was acceptable, but Wei Yan was distressed with blood!

He hugged his fist at Tian Fan and said, "General Tian, there is no wind today, and the last general really doesn't understand why you use the smoke car, but the last general is your subordinate and must listen to orders!" However, General Yan Hope, don't let my soldiers be killed or wounded in vain! ”

Tian Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Wen Chang, I have 100,000 reinforcements in hand, why worry about not being able to capture the city?" ”
