Dozens of catapults were pushed under the city of Gwangjong, soldiers and young men pulled ropes, and 30 kilograms of stones were thrown out and smashed down on the walls of Gwangjong City in a parabola in the air!

A wooden arrow tower of the Yellow Turban Army was hit by a stone, directly smashing a corner, and an unlucky Yellow Turban archer was even more stoned to death.

The catapult was powerful, and the damage caused to the walls of Gwangjong Castle was not the main effect, but the more obvious effect was to reduce the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

No one is afraid of the stones that come at them.

The 12-meter-high siege tower of the Han army was already close to the city wall of Guangzong City under the cover of catapults and infantry, and the archers of the shooting battalion on the siege tower shot an arrow, and the arrow cluster shot through the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall.

The Yellow Turbans' generally thin cloth and leather armor could not withstand the arrows of high-ranking archers, and they fell to the ground with arrow feathers stuck in their bodies, and their eyes gradually lost their brilliance.

More than a dozen siege towers were staffed with the best archers of the Han army, who condescended to try to suppress the Yellow Turban archers.

The difference between the walls of Gwangjong Fortress and the siege tower is 4 meters, and the Yellow Turban archers on the city wall must shoot the siege tower upward, which is not effective. What made the Yellow Turbans even more uncomfortable was that they had to face not only the condescending siege towers, but also the Han archers throwing bows and arrows under the city walls, and the catapults that were still making a big splash.

The cloud echelon and rushing convoy of the Han army have also begun to move.

This was an unprecedented battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was more of a shock and inspiration for the various lords who participated in the war.

No lord had ever organized such a large-scale battle, and the fact that they had seen a terrible siege here was a reward in itself.

"When will my territory be able to support tens of thousands of elites with hundreds of large siege engines?"

As a reserve to watch the battle, Chu Tian was shocked by the scale of the battle.

This was not the largest battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Battles in Lords can be even larger.

The other lords were also excited, and they all wanted to train a division comparable to the Eastern Han Legion.

"Haha, this time the choice of the Han camp is the right choice, with Lu Zhi and Liu Guanzhang present, as well as excellent troops and a large number of soldiers, how can you lose? I think I can break through Gwangjong Fortress today. ”

Huo An's words were full of confidence in Lu Zhi and Han Jun.

The Han faction wins, and any player who joins the Han faction can receive military merit.

"Don't talk too much, Zhang Jiao shouldn't be so easy to defeat, it's only the fifth day of the battle."

Chu Tian was not as optimistic as Huo An, the offensive against Guangzong County had just begun, if Zhang Jiao was defeated so easily, Lu Zhi did not have to be cautious, and waited until the siege equipment was complete before launching the attack.

"The Han army has begun to prepare to enter the city!"

A lord who was intently observing the battlefield exclaimed.

Under the cover of archers, siege towers, and catapults, the Han infantry used sandbags to fill in the ravines under the city, paving the way for ladder carts, siege towers, and flying ladders to approach the city walls.

The Han army was obviously experienced in siege, and was not in a hurry, but in an orderly manner.

Rumble!

The heavy chariot slammed into the heavy city gates, which shook violently and shook off a lot of earth from the rammed earth walls.

The Yellow Turban Army in the city hurriedly managed to strengthen the city gate to prevent it from being breached by the Han army.

When the city gate was in an emergency, the ladder cart of the Han army was already close to the city wall, and the two sides began to see-saw. The Han soldiers, led by Jun Hou, prepared to seize the city wall.

The rain of arrows on both sides has already inflicted hundreds of casualties on the Han army, and the losses on the side of the Yellow Turban Army are no less than a thousand.

The rain of arrows continued, and the focus of both sides turned to the battle for the city walls.

At every moment, Han soldiers were killed, and the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army were even more serious.

"Fire Bow Team, burn their siege towers for me!"

Zhang Liang stabbed a Han sergeant to death with one shot and asked the archers to release rockets.

A series of fiery arrows fell on the Han siege tower, trying to prevent the drawbridge of the siege tower from being lowered.

The height of the siege tower is also above the city wall, and once the drawbridge is lowered, a large number of Han infantry climb up the siege tower to the city, which will be a disaster.

A group of Yellow Turban soldiers carried the boiling hot oil and poured it on the ladder cart, the hot oil flowed down the ladder, and the Han soldiers who climbed let out a terrible scream and fell from the ladder.

In frontal combat, the Yellow Turban Army was not the opponent of the Han army, but with the help of city fortifications, it could inflict considerable casualties on the Han army.

The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and a siege tower had been ignited by rockets, burning and billowing black smoke, so that Chu Tian could clearly see the black smoke hundreds of meters away.

In order to storm Guangzong County, the Han court took out the old bottom.

The Yellow Turban Army of the Trapped Beast Fight was very tenacious in its will to resist, and its morale did not drop for a long time.

Not to mention Lu Zhi, even Chu Tian felt sorry for these losses. In this way, the army of the Han court was lost in the fierce siege battle.

But this is also a helpless choice for the Han court, if the Yellow Turban Army is not extinguished as soon as possible, and the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country converge, the Han Dynasty will perish faster.

"Zhou Yafu, if you give Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses, do you have the confidence to capture Guangzong City?"

While Chu Tian was watching the battle, he also wondered if Zhou Yafu would perform better than Lu Zhi if he would have performed better than Lu Zhi if Zhou Yafu had commanded the battle instead of Lu Zhi. One of the two people is a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty and the other is a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yafu nodded: "Of course." ”

"How long will it take?"

"The more time, the better, if my army has enough food and grass, it is better to besiege the city until the spring and summer of next year, and then capture this city."

“……”

Seeing Zhou Yafu's serious expression, Chu Tian knew that his words were not a joke.

Zhou Yafu fights in one style, steady.

After besieging the city for a few months, it is estimated that the Yellow Turban Army itself will go crazy, and Zhang Jiao will also die of illness, and it will be easy to capture Guangzong City at that time.

"I don't understand why Lu Zhi is in a hurry to attack the city?"

Chu Tian believed that if it were possible, Lu Zhi would most likely choose the same siege tactics as Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu still analyzed seriously: "There are three possibilities, one is that Lu Zhi is eager for quick success; Second, the Han army was short of food and grass; Third, the above urges. ”

Considering the first two points, it seems unlikely that the Han army is located in the Hebei region, which has a large population and fertile land, and the grain is not bad, and it is really not possible to transfer grain from Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

Then it is very likely that the above urged Lu Zhi to fight. The above is Emperor Han Ling.

Chu Tian thought that Lu Zhi was indeed removed because he offended the eunuchs when he encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, could it be that this battle would forcibly trigger the plot of the Han army's change of generals?

When Chutian and Zhou Yafu were arguing, hundreds of Han troops had already attacked the city wall, and the city of Guangzong was in danger.

Zhang Liang led the Yellow Turban Commander to fight a bloody battle with the Han army, driving the Han army off the city wall, and his body was drenched in blood.

Zhang Liang is also a fierce general, killing more than a dozen elites of the Han army one after another, the yellow turban long sword collided with the Han sword of the Han army, and the sound of fighting was endless.

However, only Zhang Liang's side could expel the Han army, and the Han army from several other directions attacked the city wall through ladder trucks and was expanding the scope of occupation of the city wall.

Just when the Yellow Turban Army was unable to support it, a team of burly Yellow Turban soldiers arrived. The group of Yellow Turban soldiers were dressed in iron armor and looked infinitely powerful, and the commander of this Yellow Turban wrestler was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a yellow scarf.

When Zhang Liang saw the man, he was overjoyed and surprised: "Big brother, you are finally here!" ”
