The offensive and defensive battle of the city did not fight until dawn as Lu Chen expected.

After the first joke of the night-blind soldiers on both sides, the second half of the night was so calm that even the patrolmen defending the city dozed off on the top of the city. Long Xiang was well treated, and he had already gone down to the city to rest, and instead of them were the seven hundred soldiers and horses who surrendered last night, which was the descendant of Zhang Yang before, and they were forced to surrender after Yang Chou was killed, and now they are under the command of Zhang Gu. Zhang Gu commanded the army for the first time, and he was so excited that his already injured nose was red from the cold, but he also took the lead in standing at the head of the city and couldn't come down.

Early the next morning.

Lu Chen climbed to the top of the city again, and there was already a crowd of people outside, all of them were solid people and horses, and they stopped hundreds of steps across the city. The whole army is in good order, and it is in good spirits!

It was evident that the enemy outside the south gate was a sturdy soldier, and it was obvious that these guys had slept last night. Compare the two sides and know that on the left is Yang Chou's old subordinates, who were originally stronger in combat and besieged the city overnight, but now they have fallen crookedly, and on the right is Dong Shao's troops, and the situation is even worse than on the left.

Zhang Liao coordinated the defense of the whole army in the upper city, and the first attack of Zhenggu was about to begin.

Before the attack, he first used a catapult, not much, only two, but the ammunition was too sufficient, I don't know who on the other side thought of it, and threw it with ice, and it was hard to throw it for half an hour, until one of the catapults broke. The casualties caused by the catapult to the soldiers were not large, but the damage caused to the city wall was very great, and two places were even blasted out of the gaps, so anxious that Zhang Liao hurriedly sent people to move stones to fill them.

After throwing stones, the crossbow on the opposite side also began to exert its might, and it was also a projectile, and the crossbow had a long range and great lethality. All of a sudden, a number of patrols who couldn't find cover to hide were injured, and there was a wail on the city tower, and some of Hua Tuo's masters and apprentices were busy.

This is the enemy's advantage, strong crossbows and catapults are in the camp, although the city has sufficient armaments, but there are no hard crossbows, and it is impossible to fight long-range. However, after all, this is the era of cold weapons, and only when swords and guns are red can the victory or defeat of the war be determined, so, after two effective long-range strikes, the Sugu army began to attack the city.

Knock knock.

The sound of war drums shook the sky.

"Kill......"

The soldiers rushed over with a shout, some carrying ladders, some pushing carts, and more foot soldiers with spears and knives.

The formation is not as scattered as on TV, but is arranged in layers and neatly, and everyone is about the same speed.

That's how it works during the day!

Lu Chen glanced at the city tower, and said in his heart, he didn't expect that even the soldiers under the professional bandit guy could be so tightly arrayed, and later facts proved that Lu Chen's worries were purely superfluous.

What the Yellow Turban is best at is group attack and downwind warfare, but what he is not good at is attacking the city.

When Zhang Liao gave the order to release the arrows, the soldiers below who had been advancing and retreating to a certain extent suddenly became like last night, scattered!

However, the solid overseer team in the rear was ruthless enough, and more than 100 deserters were killed, and the formation in front of them was instantly stabilized, and they began to climb the city wall by ladder, and the rushing car also drove under the city gate, and hit it with arrows.

The soldiers under the city continued to climb towards the top of the city, and the defenders of the city naturally used spears to push down the ladder, and if any enemy army climbed up to the top of the city, they would be stabbed to death. There are also soldiers who specially hold the thunder stone and throw it down, throwing it to death, and another soldier with a bow and arrow throws arrows downward, fast and ruthless.

Defending the city, in fact, is just such a trick, it is very tragic, there is no way, the besieging side is destined to suffer even more.

What? Frying pan? Who the is such a waste and dares to use oil? You can use boiling water, and you have to pour it in crowded places, and firewood is quite expensive and cannot be wasted. Gunpowder? Lu Chen was reluctant to use it, and he didn't dare to use it, what should he do if he threw it down and blew up his city? As for the legendary poop or something, Lu Chen didn't dare to use it, not because this thing stinks, but because it's too vicious! Legend has it that the stool is poisonous, but it is not, but it is contaminated with the wound and can cause tetanus, which is certain to death in this era.

The first wave of attacks was generally a tentative attack, but the solid soldiers and horses were not elite, but they were victorious, and three thousand men poured into the southern wall at the same time, and there were only more than five hundred defenders on the southern wall, so they were naturally overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao had both offense and defense, and the first wave of offensive finally defended without danger.

Then came the second and third waves, and the men and horses who came up were the subordinates of Yuan Yang Chou and Dong Shao, and the combat strength was not weak, and the defenders at the head of the city were exhausted, so it was even more difficult to defend.

By the time the third wave of attacks had been repulsed, only more than 200 of the more than 500 defenders at the head of the city were able to stand, all wounded, and the others had already lay down.

Zhang Liao saw that he was bent on attacking the south gate, so he transferred another 200 people from the north city.

In general, the situation is not optimistic, but Lu Chen's side may not be attacked immediately, and the defenders have an innate advantage.

In addition to the soldiers and horses surrounding the other three city gates, the three men and horses on the side of Zhenggu have already taken turns to fight, and the city has not been captured, and he is not in a hurry. At this time, there should be no more rush to attack the city, but the troops who had previously besieged the city should be urgently recuperated to improve their energy and morale.

Improving energy can be solved by resting, and improving morale is more troublesome, but there is an almost fixed practice in this era, and it is also the most classic method - fighting generals.

The two formations are standing, each with its own challenge, which is called the capital.

In troubled times, the number of fighting generals will inevitably increase, and many battles will even be decided by virtue of fighting generals. This is because, in troubled times, the most attrition must be the soldiers, after the death of the elite soldiers of the princes from all walks of life, the recruits are generally low in combat, not a year and a half can be trained, so the role of generals is obvious.

It is precisely because of this that killing or defeating the opposing generals will have an extremely huge impact on the recruits, and can even cause the entire army of the opposing party to collapse.

He was originally a yellow scarf, and he had experienced a lot of battles and battles, and there were several generals under his account, so it was their turn to appear.

First, a general came out of the horse and came to the city tower to scold, this guy looks crooked and cracks the jujube, as if he has the strength of a handle, but he speaks without logic, there is no provocation at all, but his voice is loud.

On the city tower, several captains had already jumped out, saying that they wanted to go down and bring this guy's head to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes, this guy looks so ugly, he is afraid that he won't be able to pee at night when he uses his head as a night pot, why is he so active? Then Lu Chen said: "Why do you want to go down and fight with him?" Isn't that one arrow enough to kill? ”

A group of people looked at Lu Chen in a daze, and under Zhang Liao's explanation, Lu Chen understood a little, it turned out that there were "rules" for this, and it was necessary to be despised if a secret arrow hurt someone, and at the same time, his own morale would also be affected.

In this era when soldiers are fighting on one breath, morale is too important.

"Bo Chao! I'm willing to fight! ”

Zhang Gu suddenly stood up and said.

This timid guy dares to fight? Lu Chen carefully brushed the few memories in his head, and then he figured out that the generals who could win in the battle were quite prestigious and respected by his soldiers.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen glanced at the short-legged and waistless guy downstairs again, riding a donkey was extremely arrogant, and it seemed that he could be easily killed.

Lu Chen was also tempted, saying that he had been practicing riding for so long, wasn't it just to be able to go into battle and kill the enemy?
