Zhang Yan has been surrounding Xindu for more than half a month, in fact, Xindu is now a lonely city at all, and the surrounding cities have all been beaten down by Zhang Yan.

What's even more frustrating is that the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is high, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, which makes Yuan Shaojun suffer enough.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhang Yan not launching a strong attack, this kind of strong city wants to use a strong attack to take down, the price paid is not ordinarily large, now the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are carefully trained, but not the peasant army that grabbed a lot at that time, so Zhang Yan is becoming more and more careful with his soldiers, he now has a deep understanding of why Fang Zhiwen wants to teach them to minimize losses, and also understands why the soldiers are not expensive, therefore, in the war, Zhang Yan is also calmer, more cautious, soldiers, The major affairs of the country must be important.

Zhang Yan also knew that if Xindu could not be taken in a short time, the consequence would be that the war around Xindu would escalate indefinitely, although Zhang Niujiao distracted Yuan Shao's attention in the river, even if the war in Henan would not completely stop for a while and a half, even if it stopped, Yuan Shao did not dare to easily mobilize Henan's troops to Jizhou.

However, Yuan Shao's counterattack is inevitable, which Liu Yan had firmly believed at the beginning of the launch, and Zhang Yan also agreed. And the final watershed of the battle with Jizhou, or the turning point. It should be the result of Xindu's attack and defense, if Zhang Yan succeeds in taking Xindu, the situation of the entire battlefield will be different, and Yuan Shao has no reason to start a full-scale war with Zhang Jiao in order to recapture the lost Anping County, and the war is likely to enter the next stage.

If Xindu can't be won for a long time, then Yuan Shao will be forced to rescue Xindu with all his might, and Zhang Jiao can't help but die with Yuan Shao in order to maintain the current results. That's the worst-case scenario.

Therefore, the gains and losses of Xindu are related to the process of normal war, and it can be said that it has become the top priority of the current Jizhou war, despite this, Zhang Yan still did not make up his mind to attack Xindu, until Wenchou's troops had set off to the north, Zhang Yan had to make up his mind to attack.

Today is a good day, the wind is beautiful. Good for arson!

The Yellow Turban Army began to get busy early in the morning, and Lu Kuang, the general of Xindu, stood at the head of the city with a frown, his palm pinched the brick wall, his knuckles turned white because of the force, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, as if he wanted to buckle a piece of masonry from above.

Take a look at the posture of the Yellow Turbans. Lu Kuang knew that it would be difficult to be good today, in the past, the Yellow Turban Army had launched three or five arrow towers at most, and the attack and defense of the two sides mainly revolved around long-range weapons and bows and arrows. Regardless of the different posture today, there are five wells where the Yellow Turban Army has already left the camp, and there are ten siege ladders. It seems that the Yellow Turban Army is going to try to ascend the city today.

Lu Kuang also expected this situation, because he received a message from Nanpi yesterday. General Wen Chou has already gone north, and he will join the Anping War soon after, and the Yellow Turban Army is obviously in a hurry now, wanting to take advantage of the time when General Wen Chou has not yet arrived to storm Xindu.

Lu Kuang is a native of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao served Yuan Shao when he went to the Central Plains two years ago to discuss Dong, and then the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were appreciated by Yuan Shao because of their outstanding military achievements and steady work.

Lu Kuang has been stationed in Xindu for more than a year, and he has been constantly strengthening the construction of defense facilities in Xindu for the past year, but Xindu is close to the front line of the Yellow Turban Army, and the number of residents has always been relatively limited.

Some time ago, in the state that the Yellow Turban Army's siege was not fierce, the Inhumans in the city were very active in the war, and the rewards of the Gaine mission were indeed good, but today the siege of this intensity is a little unfolding, and it is difficult to say whether the Inhumans can participate in the defense so actively.

Lu Kuang thought about it, gritted his teeth and decided to increase the reward of the task again, as the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, rather than waiting for the letter to fall and cheapen the things in the treasury to the Yellow Turban Army, it is better to take it out now and try to cause damage to the Yellow Turban Army It is cost-effective, this reason Lu Kuang still understands the reason.

The battle began in the bright sunshine, the oil canister ejected by the trebuchet, and the rockets fired by the giant crossbow soon set some buildings in the city on fire, and the black smoke began to gather over the city, slowly covering the sun, covering the bloody gas on the battlefield under the black smoke, as if not daring to let the sun see.

The staggered gravel and arrows shuttled back and forth in the air, constantly collecting the lives of soldiers on both sides, and the defenders of the city desperately lit several well fences and siege vehicles, so that the outside of the city also became a fireworks rolling appearance, however, the strong smoke and pungent smell also made the defenders of the city unable to open their eyes, and any siege force would definitely choose to fight with the wind.

The surging Yellow Turban Army changed the image of the past with a polite and polite image, incarnated into a demon one by one, fearless from the trestle of the well railing, from the slope of the siege ladder, from the long ladder to the city wall, every place on the battlefield is scorching, fierce, every moment there is a splash of blood, there are human lives disappearing, blood flowing under the feet, making the originally dry ground slippery, if you are not careful, you will be slipped, and then stepped on by countless feet, there are enemies, there are also comrades.

The clashing of weapons, the shouts of the combatants, the screams of the wounded, the flames of the explosion of the oil tank, the flashes inspired by skills and paper symbols, the reflection of weapons, and countless sounds and lights are intertwined, weaving a bizarre war scene.

Zhou Cang rushed to the city with heavy infantry, his opponent was Lu Kuang, but Lu Kuang knew that his combat power was limited, and he relied more on the effect of the battle array, and never put an order with Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang had no way to directly deal with the opponent's main general in the dense enemy battle array, so he could only vent all his anger on the enemy soldiers in front of him.

Through the gap in the face armor, what Zhou Cang saw in front of him was that scene was a little fragmented, and there were some unrealistic pictures, as if they were separated by a world, but Zhou Cang liked this feeling, which made him feel a sense of detachment, as if he was looking at the world from another perspective.

"Kill! Kill 1

The heavy knife in Zhou Cang's hand rolled, and the blade always had a clear white skill light, and those veterans told Zhou Cang when he was training in Youzhou, the basic skills in the battle formation are very useful, don't spend effort to use the ultimate, if you can calculate it, you will find that the efficiency of using the basic skills is definitely higher than the ultimate, and more importantly, the use of basic skills can save internal force and physical strength, on the battlefield, the side with more internal force wins, and the party with more physical strength lives!

The heavy infantry on the side behind Zhou Cang followed Zhou Cang's shout and waved the heavy knife in his hand in unison, and then stepped back, the back row made up for the chopping, and then retreated, and the back row advanced again, this kind of wave-like attack and killing was also learned from Miyun, and it was said to be General Gao Shun's tactical means, but it was really easy to use.

The heavy knives that were waved were like a wall like a forest, and the waves of the knives were like endless waves, making it difficult for the enemy troops on the opposite side to fight back, often they had just pushed away the teammates who had been hit or injured in front of them, and before they could swing the knives, the second round of attacks on Zhou Cang's side had already reached the top of their heads.

The progress of Zhoucang's side is relatively smooth, but the speed of progress is also very slow.

But the other side is more unsmooth, in the absence of strong generals to form the backbone, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive is basically difficult to make progress, after all, the city wall is too high, the speed of follow-up investment is too slow, and the front is finally opened at a huge price to detain will be easily disintegrated by the defenders by cutting off the follow-up attack.

Not to mention anything else, just this kind of solid defense means shows that the defenders of Xindu are still capable and fully prepared.

Zhang Yan, who commanded the attack in the rear, was dripping blood in his heart, the dead and wounded were all elite soldiers, and they were all the precious wealth of the Yellow Turban Army, but in order to end this stage of the war as soon as possible, now he had to watch some elite soldiers fight for their lives with the enemy army on the fortified city under extremely difficult circumstances, and use their lives and blood to seek a chance for victory.

Zhang Yan's body was straight, and his face was expressionless, in fact, it was to hide the surging waves in his heart, and the herald behind him looked at the back of the commander like a stone sculpture with a scorched face, and kept grasping the loose reins and was unconsciously soaked with sweat.

Finally, Zhang Yan's hand slowly raised, hesitated slightly, and waved forward!

The herald pulled the reins excitedly, slammed his heel into the belly of the horse, and ran forward with a shout: "Rear forward, rear forward!" Offense, offense 1

The battle is getting hotter and hotter, the city seems to be shrouded in black smoke, from too difficult to see, the huge Xindu City is shrouded in black smoke, it looks very weird, from this huge black smoke, filled with a strong evil aura, and the blood that soars to the sky, the despair and fear that emanates from it, make people feel like they want to turn around and run away.

The battle lasted until the evening, the Yellow Turban Army finally began to collect troops, Zhang Yan couldn't fight anymore, the losses were too heavy, the siege of the previous ten days, the Yellow Turban Army died less than 1,000 people in total, and entered the day's attack, the Yellow Turban Army had more than 5,000 people thrown under the city, and Zhang Yan had a total of 5,000 people in his hands?

Night gradually fell, there was silence inside and outside the city wall, the dead soldiers were silent forever, the living soldiers had no to speak, under the city wall, the people and auxiliaries of the Yellow Turban Army were collecting the corpses of their comrades with white flags, on the city wall, the defenders were also doing the same thing, occasionally everyone would look at each other, there was no hatred in their eyes, only indifference.
