Although Zhang Chao has a large number of troops in his hands, he must have lost two legions at once, so he must have suffered a lot of pain. At that time, see what energy and courage he still has to meddle in Xiliang's affairs. At that time, he can use troops against Ma Teng with confidence.

Of course, if these plans want to be implemented, they need a premise, that is, to capture Chiyang and eat Yan Liang's 50,000 horses first.

"General Zhang Xiu, are you ready to attack the city?" Zhuge Liang's voice turned to ask.

"Back to the words of the military division. Catapults, siege engines, and ladders are all ready and ready to move. Zhang Xiu also said very confidently.

"Haha, okay, then what are you waiting for, let's attack the city." Zhuge Liang smiled. Even if you Xu Rong and Li Ru don't want to rush to help, then I will attack Chiyang first and make you feel distressed.

With the decision to attack the city, under Chiyang City, Liu Bei's army immediately began to assemble, and then the weapons and equipment that should attack the city appeared under the city.

On the city wall, General Yan Liang watched the catapults appear outside the city, and the siege vehicles were waiting for duty, and he also narrowed his eyes and said: "Notify me and prepare for war." ”

After both armies were ready, the fierce siege battle began as soon as noon passed.

In mid-air, with the help of a catapult, the boulder was first smashed towards Chiyang City with the help of a catapult. Every time a boulder falls to the ground, there will be a loud noise, and even a huge depression will appear at the city wall.

Chiyang belongs to the boundary of Yongzhou, these years, although Dong Zhuo ruled here, but he never thought about anything to repay, the city wall is also in disrepair, after experiencing the smashing of boulders, there is a crisis.

A group of Yan Liang who were hiding behind the battlements of the city wall heard the loud noise, and even the entire city wall trembled, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces. He didn't expect the city wall to be so unsturdy, so it seemed that this battle to defend the city was not as optimistic as he imagined.

It was only a short period of time, and the city wall of Chiyang was smashed and collapsed, and even several places were obviously about to collapse.

Because Yan Liang ordered the soldiers to find cover very early, this wave of catapult attacks did not hurt many people, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

It lasted for about two quarters of an hour, and the catapult finally stopped, followed by the continuous shouting of killing, which was Zhang Xiu directing the siege vehicle to start the siege.

"All take up arms and prepare for battle." Yan Liang heard the shouts from under the city, looked up and looked down, and saw the scene of ten thousand troops galloping, so he picked up the long-handled broadsword and stood up first.

With Yan Liang taking the lead, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion in the city quickly made preparations to defend the city. I saw that all the city defense equipment was carried out. And before that, there were 5,000 archers with bows and arrows, shooting at Liu Bei's soldiers who were rushing under the city.

Liu Bei's soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, also took out their shields one after another to block the attack. For a moment, downstairs was the clanging sound of bows and arrows shooting on shields. At this point, the elite Zhang Chaojun and Liu Beijun began to go head-to-head.

Since Zhuge Liang entered Liu Bei's group, he has attached great importance to the training of soldiers, and under his strict requirements, the quality of soldiers has been significantly improved compared with before. I don't know how many siege battles have been drilled like this, and the cooperation between the soldiers is also very good. If the attack speed is not reduced, the casualties along the way are also small.

Compared with Liu Beijun's tacit understanding, Zhang Chaojun is even more unafraid, and even stronger.

Zhang Chao was originally born as a soldier, and when he took the first step with his dream, he paid great attention to the training of soldiers.

The slogan they shouted was to sweat more during practice and shed less blood during war. It was the experience of taking the exercise as a real combat that made the quality of Zhang's army far superior to that of the soldiers of other princes.

Although the six legions are arranged at the back, they have indeed taken a long time to form. In addition, Zhang Chao has never been stingy with the allocation of military spending, so that training has never been slack. In the past, when the legion was large, a series of combination training was carried out, and now it is time to test its effect.

And now that these two equally well-trained regular armies have come together, you can imagine how cruel and heroic it will be.

On the wall, the 5,000 archers shot at least fifteen arrows each, and then retreated to the side. At this time, Liu Beijun had already come to the city and began to fight back with bows and arrows, and the lethality of the archers was already limited.

As the archers retreated, a group of Pak sword soldiers with swords in their right hands and shields in their right hands stood in front.

As soon as the Pu knife soldiers came out, they used the shields in their hands to block the attack of bows and arrows, and then stared intently at the Liu Bei soldiers who were climbing the city wall with the help of cloud ladders and other objects.

Sleepers, boulders, fire oil and other objects will be thrown from the city wall when the situation is relatively tense, which effectively restrains the speed and pace of the siege of Liu Bei's soldiers.

"Rush, rush in through the gate." General Zhang Xiu under the city saw that the army attacking the city wall seemed to be blocked, so he aimed beyond the city gate. With the sharpness of the siege engine in his hand, he was confident that he would ram the gate open.

"Come and follow some men down with me to guard the gates, and others will continue to kill me in the city." Yan Liang noticed that the enemy's attention began to shift, which also changed the tactics of battle, and led a group of personal soldiers towards the city. The castle tower was left to other generals to guard.

At the gate of Chiyang City, three siege vehicles rushed here. One of them was slamming into the gates.

Inside the city gate, there was a regiment of 2,000 soldiers guarding the city, and their task was to hold the city gate so that it would not be breached. In the face of the onslaught of the city gate vans, they blocked countless sandbags that had been prepared long ago to take precautions.

"Get rid of the sandbags." Yan Liang, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a long-handled broadsword, appeared at the city gate with his own soldiers, and then looked at the soldiers guarding the city gate of that regiment and gave orders.

"General, if the sandbags are removed, the enemy may rush into the city." The regimental commander was clearly unwilling to obey the order, and he argued.

"The commander of the 11th regiment, right, I am the commander here, I will let you move away, and I will be responsible for any consequences. However, if you do not obey the order, you will be punished by military law. Seeing that the order was issued, but no one carried it out, Yan Liang couldn't help but say very angrily.

After all, Yan Liang is an outsider, and as soon as he came, he became a high-ranking deputy commander, or as a general, which naturally made some people unconvinced.

Yan Liang himself is also very clear about all this. And if it is usual, if he is not satisfied, he will not be convinced, and he has a way to prove his ability. But now that it was wartime, he would never allow anyone to disobey his orders, and if anyone really wanted to do so, he wouldn't mind killing a hundred people.

As soon as Yan Liang's words fell, four personal soldiers jumped out behind him, holding long knives and looking at the commander of the eleventh regiment with fierce eyes.

The head of the regiment was also forced by Yan Liang's momentum. At the moment, he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "Quick, listen to the deputy commander move the sandbag." ”

Obviously, the regiment commander was also worried that he was stagnant for half a moment, afraid that those four big knives would really cut at him. If you want to say that he is not afraid of death, he must be prepared in this regard when he goes into battle to kill the enemy. But if he dies in disobedience to military orders, it is really wronged, and his family will also be affected.

The sandbags were quickly removed by the soldiers of the 11th Regiment. Yan Liang then rode on the war horse, and then pointed forward with the long-handled broadsword in his hand and said to his brothers: "Everyone will kill with me." The 2nd and 11th regiments guarded the city gates, the 3rd and 4th regiments charged with me, and the 5th and 6th regiments were responsible for chopping down the ladders that were erected above the city walls. ”

When the order was issued, the six regiment commanders behind him all agreed, and then Yan Liang said loudly: "Come, open the city gate." ”

The soldiers of the eleventh regiment had already been shocked by Yan Liang's momentum, and when they heard his order, they immediately opened the heavy latch inside the city gate, and with the heavy sound of the branches, the Chiyang city gate came from the inside. Then 8,000 soldiers rushed out under the leadership of Yan Liang.

Liu Bei's soldiers, who were attacking the city gate with a rushing cart in front of the city gate, were caught off guard and the city gate was opened from the inside. This change made them stunned for a few breaths, they really couldn't understand, why didn't this city gate open by itself?

Just by taking advantage of these few breaths, Yan Liangji rushed out with four regiments of eight thousand soldiers. Then he saw that the war horse was high, and a few rushed to the front of Liu Bei's soldiers who were pushing the siege vehicle, and then the long knife waved and fell, and then several good heads with blood flew into the air.

"Destroy the chariot, and the others will kill me." With a knife fall, the head of a Liu Beijun soldier was cut off, and then Yan Liang shouted loudly and continued to rush forward.

The soldiers of the four regiments that came out were divided into two groups according to the previous orders. A group rushed forward after Yan Liang, aiming at the archers who were still standing there shooting arrows at the tower; The other team went straight to the city walls. There were countless ladders erected there, and their target was the bottom of the ladder.

Yan Liang's sudden attack caught Liu Beijun, who was attacking the city, off guard. The first to suffer heavy losses were the 10,000 archers standing in front.

Originally, with the advantage of numbers, coupled with adequate preparations, they had indeed pressed the soldiers of the Sixth Legion on the city wall to raise their heads. Taking advantage of this, there were also soldiers who climbed the ladder and entered the castle tower and began hand-to-hand combat.

If this state continues, it may be possible to enter the city from the castle tower.

But with Yan Liang's sudden killing, everything changed. These archers are very good at long range, but when they kill the enemy in close quarters, they don't even have basic protection.
