Chapter 525 The Second Attack on Anyu City After breaking the door, Zhou Bei showed his might
After three days, the troops and horses were redeployed, and the city of Shangliang once again gathered 300,000 troops, preparing to attack Anyu for the second time, and with the experience of the past, Chuyang ordered to make a thousand huge shields with a length and width of three zhang in three days, and tied them firmly to the roof of the wooden cart, so as to resist the rain of arrows poured down by the Wei soldiers on the city wall.
At the beginning of the fourth day, the sun ordered the three watches to make food and the fourth watch to raise troops, and when the fifth watch was about to dawn, the army arrived at Anyu City hundreds of zhang away.
Chu Yang ordered Zhou Bei to take 10,000 people to hide under the giant shield and arrive at the city one step ahead of the army.
After Zhou Bei received the order, he led the men and horses out of the battle, and the Wei soldiers guarding the city saw a large group of men and horses approaching in the distance, hurriedly sounded the alarm bell, and ordered the crossbowmen to prepare.
When Zhou Bei led 10,000 people to approach the city gate fifty zhang, a rain of arrows like wasps coming out of their nests suddenly fell on the city tower, and the density was like dark clouds surging through, and in a short time, a thousand smooth giant shields were shot into hedgehogs!
Listening to the sound of the huge shield blocking the arrows overhead, Zhou Bei hurriedly ordered the horses to move forward quickly, and soon rushed to the city. At the base of the city wall, due to the angle problem, the arrows on the top of the castle tower gradually stopped moving.
After roughly counting the number of people, it was determined that the giant shield had played a perfect role, and there were no casualties among the 10,000 people brought in!
Zhou Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to raise torches to inform Chuyang, and Zhao Fan, who was standing in the front army, saw the fire signal coming from the front, and quickly turned around and went to the Chinese army, and announced that Zhou Bei had arrived in front of Chuyang.
Chu Yang hurriedly got up and ordered: "The former military camp is led by shield soldiers, push the siege hammer to the front of the city and break the city gate!"
Yueshan knelt on the ground and led the order to rush out with shield soldiers, and Chuyang ordered the crossbowmen to escort them, and when they reached the front of the city sixty zhang, they all put arrows on the city, and asked Zhao Fan to lead the cavalry in the back to be ready at any time!
A quarter of an hour later, the battering ram broke through the gates, and a large number of troops poured out from beneath the city.
Although the Wei soldiers out of the city gate were surging, but they were cut down a lot by the infantry led by Zhou Bei, after the knife was sharpened, Zhou Bei hurriedly led people to retreat, Anyu City Wei soldiers chased after reluctantly, and so out of thirty zhang, it happened that Zhao Fan led 20,000 cavalry to the battlefield, the two sides of the team touched that was the tip of the needle to Maimang, and immediately fought.
Although the Wei soldiers can also be regarded as heroic, they have suffered a big loss in numbers.
The Wei soldiers on the battlefield just poured out from under the broken city gate, think about how fast you are, no matter how perfect the coordination is, but the city gate is so big, how many people can come out? And more importantly, the Wei soldiers can't rush out, but like peeling corn, little by little they are exposed.
Outside the city, there are 30,000 horses waiting for them with swords, guns, swords, and halberds!
In the end, it even reached the point where more than a dozen Han troops fought one Wei soldier.
Therefore, the battle between the two sides was only a moment, and the Wei soldiers who came out of more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded, on the other hand, the cavalry infantry led by Zhao Fan and Zhou Bei was unscathed due to the advantage of being crushed by numbers!
Anyu City was about to go out to fight, but was stopped by the shouting of the people upstairs.
Zhao Fan saw that there was no enemy on the field, and was about to lead the cavalry to charge in, and Yue Shan on the field hurriedly shouted: "Don't be reckless!"
Zhao Fan, who had just started, heard that he hurriedly stopped his horse, turned around and looked at Yueshan suspiciously.
Yue Shan didn't have time to explain to him, but shouted loudly: "The infantry go under the shield!
The veterans who came out were experienced veterans who had experienced many battles, and at the first moment of Yueshan's order, they rushed under the giant shield without hesitation, and the 20,000 cavalry also hurriedly turned around and rushed back.
As soon as most of the infantry arrived under the shield, an overwhelming rain of arrows rained down on the towers!
Zhao Fan, who rushed out, listened to the sound of arrows on the ground behind him, and was frightened, fortunately Yueshan stopped it in time, otherwise these 30,000 people would have died under the random arrows because of their recklessness!
Having said that, their movement was slow in the end, and although most of them were evacuated to safety, at least 1,000 people were still unable to evacuate and were killed by indiscriminate arrows.
Chu Yang, who had already arrived at the front army, looked at the tragic death of his own soldiers and horses on the battlefield, and was extremely angry in his heart, and no longer cared about the safety of the people near the city wall, and directly ordered the shield soldiers to block the arrows in front, and the crossbowmen on the rear to fully cover the crossbowmen on the city wall!
With the arrival of the early sun, the front army immediately stood up with 20,000 shield soldiers, and slowly stepped forward in the shape of an arrow with the shield on the top of the shield, and 10,000 crossbowmen hid behind the shield soldiers, and the two teams gradually approached Anyu City.
When the team reached the front of the city wall forty zhang, 10,000 crossbowmen opened their bows and arrows together, and shot angrily at the city tower.
Zhou Bei saw the right time and hurriedly ordered 2,000 infantry to enter the city gate with him, and there were guards with halberds under the city gate, but at this time, they only paid attention to the arrows falling from the top of the city tower, and there was no way to take into account that the city gate had Han soldiers entering.
Zhou Bei, who was in the lead, rushed to the front of the Wei soldiers, and even then they failed to notice that the enemy had already touched their faces.
Zhou Beixin was overjoyed and rushed to the vitality in his body, raised his knife and slashed at the throats of the two people recently, and blood pumped out after the blade!
Hearing the screams around them, a group of Wei soldiers reacted that the Han army had broken in, and when they were surprised, they were waiting to raise their weapons to counterattack, but in this panic, forty or fifty people were already cut down to the ground by the Han army!
Some Wei troops wanted to fight back but were too late, and some cowardly people couldn't stand this sudden fright, so they threw away their weapons and ran to the city tower!
Seeing this, Zhou Bei didn't care about them, but sneered in his heart: The city tower is being shot wildly by a bow and crossbow, where to run is not good, but to go up to the city tower, isn't this looking for death?
The facts really responded to Zhou Bei's words, the Wei soldiers who fled to the city tower out of instinct, only felt that they should go to the place where there were many people on their side, but they ignored the danger of arrows on the city tower, dozens of people just stepped on the stone face of the city tower, and before they could open their mouths, they were killed by random arrows on the spot!
The last thought in the minds of these people before they died was to scold themselves for being stupid: the previous distraction was because they were shot by an arrow upstairs and looked up, knowing that they were in danger upstairs and fled upstairs, which was as stupid as a stupid pig......
Taking advantage of the Wei soldiers' inappropriate reaction, the infantry led by Zhou Bei quickly killed all the Wei soldiers guarding the city gate.
Seeing that it was safe to go around, and the arrows were still flying wildly upstairs, Zhou Bei hurriedly whistled out and told them to stop firing arrows.
As the words reached the ears of the crossbowmen outside the city, listening to the wailing that gradually subsided upstairs, Zhou Bei nodded and confirmed that it was safe, and hurriedly led the Han infantry to kill the city tower.
The Wei soldiers upstairs had just picked up a life from the chaotic arrows, and before they could be happy for a while, they heard the sound of shouting and killing behind them, and instinctively looked back, only to see a flash of blue light, and then the whole body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
The last scene of the crossbowman who was cut to the ground came into view, and he saw a Han general wearing fish scale armor, carrying a cyan ring-headed knife to chop and chop his Wei soldiers......
