Chapter 35: The Destruction of the City (I)

And looking at the thousands of Yellow Turban Army surging over like locusts on the city wall, the shock in Wu Sheng's eyes could not dissipate for a long time, and his heart seemed very uneasy, and even a little frightened.

Although Wu Sheng has not experienced war, it is the first time that he has really come into contact with war, but the enthusiasm and pride in his heart have gradually been stimulated, and the timidity in his heart is slowly disappearing.

Unlike modern warfare, ancient wars are fought for the number of troops, and the number of people is more than the opponent, and there will be varying degrees of morale growth, but this is only one of them.

The second is the quality, whether these soldiers have undergone strict cultivation, whether they have seen blood, whether the quality of the armor and broadsword is passable, do not cut two or three times and then roll the blade, collapse, soldiers without weapons are like pigs and dogs to be slaughtered.

Zuihou is a strategy, if there is a haode strategist in the army, it can make the other party suffer heavy losses at the least cost, and even defeat the strong with the weak, it is not impossible.

Although Wu Sheng didn't know how many people the Yellow Turban Army came, he was sure that there were definitely several times more officers and soldiers than in Dongwuyang County.

What the purple-robed man is doing now is to want the other party's Yellow Turban Army generals to retreat, in order to delay time, and wait for reinforcements to come in order to keep Dongwu County, and maybe bite them hard

But at this time, Wu Sheng saw that the momentum of the other party suddenly changed, and the Yellow Turban Army below seemed to be not afraid of death, shouting with their lives, fighting with blood, and there was only one thought in their hearts, that is, to break the city.

I don't know what kind of strategy the other party's generals used to make these Yellow Turban Army attack the city so heroically, Wu Sheng saw the purple-robed man's brows furrowed, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized.

looked at the yellow turban general opposite in slight surprise, and then his eyes were full of anger, and he was a little disdainful and worried.

Seeing him like this, as if he knew the other party's plan in his heart, Wu Sheng still looked down in confusion, and continued to carry stones in his hands and throw them down, never understanding what the general of the Yellow Turban Army was capable of, so that the Yellow Turban soldiers below would fight hard to attack the city.

Dongwuyang County is just a small county town, and there are not many defense equipment at all, although some preparations are hastily prepared because of the attack of the Yellow Turban, but it can't withstand a continuous battle.

It didn't take long for the arrows to really run out, and the archers retreated from the battle curtain first, and there were not many falling rocks and rolling logs left, but fortunately, the purple-robed man saw that the situation was not good, and let the other pair of archers who went out to fight early to return to the defense in time.

The archers were ordered to throw in all the supplies they didn't need, spurred their horses back, made a detour to the rear of the besieging Yellow Turbans, and used the remaining arrows to attack them.

But these small actions could not stop the Yellow Turban Army's desire to attack the city, although they killed hundreds of them, but instead made them run forward with all their might, vowing to capture Dongwu County.

Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers had already taken the ladder to the city wall and slashed the officers and soldiers on it.

Watching all this happen with a wry smile, the purple-robed man shook his head sadly, looked at the sky heavily, closed his eyes, and sighed to express the helplessness and depression in his heart.

In fact, Wu Sheng felt that the people in purple robes had tried their best, and they could be said to have done their best to this Dongwu County, there were few soldiers here, there were not many materials to defend the city, and the quality of the soldiers was at most several copies better than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and there was no surprise that the city was broken.

Because there has been no war for many years, even the most elite soldiers will slowly degenerate with time, not to mention the officers and soldiers of these small counties, their advantage over the Yellow Turban Army is only through rough training.

Although the purple-robed man had the idea of giving up on Dongwu County, he still didn't want to give up this city before he arrived at Zuihou.

He squinted at the Yellow Turban Army below, revealing a somewhat unbearable gaze, then turned ruthless, nodded slightly, seemed to firm the idea in his heart, and gave orders to the two guards next to him, only to see one of them running down to the left, and the other running down.

The guards who ran down from the left came up soon after with a large group of officers and soldiers, these officers and soldiers were divided into many squads, and slowly carried a large iron pot up, Wu Sheng stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to look, and saw that it contained some yellow liquid.

The two officers and soldiers on the wall held the side of the big iron pot and poured it over the ladder, and the Yellow Turban Army on it had nowhere to hide, so they were drenched, and then they picked up the fire and threw it down to ignite the yellow-orange-orange liquid.

In an instant, the liquid was ignited by the torches, forming a small winding fire dragon that burned the ladder below, and of course the Yellow Turbans who climbed up the wooden ladder were burned.

It turned out that these yellow liquids were oil, and the purple-clothed man was really forced to be helpless this time, so he resorted to this ruthless move, doing his best to liliang, hoping to keep Dongwu County.

However, as soon as this trick came out, it was really extraordinary, many cloud ladders were burned, and the Yellow Turban Army on it was swallowed by the fire, and suddenly panicked, and one accidentally fell from the air and fell to the ground and turned into meat sauce.

Seeing this, the general of the Yellow Turban Army ordered to withdraw the ladder first to extinguish the fire, and the offensive began to weaken, so that the purple-robed people on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, but they still did not dare to take it lightly.

Even if there is no ladder, the Yellow Turban Army still has a crash car, how strong can the city gates of these small counties be, after being hit two or three times, they have already begun to crumble and crack, but the generals of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side are afraid of being burned, so they also withdraw together.

Taking advantage of this time, the defenders killed all the remnants of the troops above, but it was not long before a group of Yellow Turbans came from behind, with bows large and small, and the arrows on their quivers, although there were not many, but they were not many, and then their offensive began.

The Yellow Turbans continued to ride the ladder and tried to attack them, and the ramming cart was also pushed over, and once the defenders above wanted to fall rocks or release oil, the Yellow Turban archers below aimed at these soldiers and shot them.

Because the bows and arrows in the city had run out, the purple-robed man watched his soldiers being shot to death by the Yellow Turban archers, but he had nothing to do, this time he was really powerless.

The materials for defending the city were still running out, and the officers and soldiers could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Yellow Turban Army, Wu Sheng felt that he was starting to get excited, and secretly took out the dustless sword to kill these Yellow Turban soldiers.

At this time, a pair of Yellow Turban troops suddenly appeared on the battlefield, about thousands of people, their generals were different from those commanding the siege, as if they were holding someone, the distance was too far, and Wu Sheng couldn't see it clearly.

They escorted a group of people over, and the leader of the general said loudly; "Surrender, your county commander doesn't care about you, just care about his own escape, what are you doing to help him defend the city?"

I saw that this person looked like a giant bear, with a face full of meat, more than two meters tall, muscles on his body like dragons, green tendons, and deliberately not wearing a shirt, showing his strong figure.

This man grabbed a man in official uniform with one hand, raised his voice, and deliberately said to the officers and soldiers on the city wall, the purpose was to break their confidence and demoralize them.

His purpose was achieved, and when he heard that the county order of his city had abandoned them and fled, a resentment arose in everyone's hearts, and the movements of their hands began to slow down, and some even stopped moving.

The morale dropped a lot in an instant, and the people in purple robes didn't look good, and immediately let the guards next to them loudly announce the evil deeds of the Yellow Turban Army, whether it was or not, directly according to their crimes of murder and arson, ** kidnapping, and said that they made the people of every household unable to live in peace.

When the officers and soldiers on the city wall heard this, they thought to themselves, although their lives are not good now, but at least they have a kennel that can shelter from the wind and rain, what if they enter the city and rob our house? What about killing our loved ones? What should we do if we take our wives captive?

Seeing that his soldiers had regained their morale, the purple-robed man hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, only to see him raise his hands in an instant, with his palms xiangxia and the backs of his hands xiangshang, slowly landing to both sides, and then shouting loudly with both hands; "Angry war."

Suddenly, I saw a spiritual power emanating from his body, covering every soldier on the city wall, and then he clenched his fists and continued: "Great power. ”

A spiritual power was released from his identity, covering every soldier on the city wall once again, and only after doing these movements did he slowly lower his hands.

"Assistant, what did that man do just now?" Wu Sheng saw that the officers and soldiers were still looking aggrieved just now, but now they suddenly became fierce and aggressive, and when he checked their attributes, he found that their strength had increased to varying degrees by one or two points.

"Master, that person just now should be a warlock, using magic skills to make the officers and soldiers on the city wall eager to fight, so as to boost morale, and increase their strength, but these are temporary."

Is this a warlock? It's really powerful, and he can release a buff aura on a large scale, but the time to break the city can only be slightly delayed, and it is still difficult for him to hold Dongwu County.

The general of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side didn't look good, and there was a warlock who could release his skills on the other side, and he was secretly anxious, but a thin old man said a few words to him gently, and then his smile bloomed, and he opened the way for the old man with a little flattery.

This person was dressed in a yellow scribe's robe, his face was as thin as a ghost, his eyes seemed to bulge, his body was weak, he was as thin as firewood, as if he had never eaten a full meal, and he slowly walked forward with a wooden staff in his hand.

He was followed by five strangely shaped men, respectfully following behind this person, and walked towards the battlefield together.

The thin old man walked to the rear of the Yellow Turban Army that was besieging the city, then stopped, and then kept knocking on the ground with a wooden staff, shouting as he knocked: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky."

It didn't take long for him to stop knocking, raise his hands to the sky, take a deep breath, and shout loudly: "God bless the yellow scarf, invulnerable." ”

The five strangely shaped men in the back, following the movements of the thin old man, kept chopping the ground with their right feet, posing an unknown Taoist handprint in their hands, and shouted loudly: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious."

After the thin old man stopped, they also stopped together, raised their hands to the sky, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "God bless the yellow scarf, invulnerable." ”
