Chapter 171: Breaking Quyang

The surging river rushed to the west city, and the moment it came into contact with the city wall, it caused a splash, and the weather-beaten city wall was hit by it and there were slight cracks.

The endless flow of the river collided with cracks, and each collision took away a part of the earth, and the entire wall was washed into unevenness.

The impact lasted for half an hour, and the scarred city wall finally completed its mission, collapsing and taking hundreds of lives.

The raging river rushed into the city, washed down the houses, and drowned the Yellow Turban tribes, and the rushing river was like a huge python, shuttling wantonly in the city.

Its twisted body was mixed with countless struggling Yellow Turbans and lifeless corpses.

In the face of the destructive power of nature, the power of human beings is as fragile and helpless as ants.

Zhao Yang and the others stood on the raft, without any expression on their faces, unable to understand whether they were happy or worried, and the whole scene was only left with the sound of distress in the distance.

The first time Zhang Liao saw such a scene, his eyes were wide, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be about to burst, he didn't expect the power of the river to be so fierce.

"Lord, we can attack now, this time Wen Xiang has made a great contribution, the scope of the collapse of the city wall is so large, I estimate that the city has become an ocean now."

Wang Meng looked at the huge opening in front of him, and he also had a new plan for the power of the river in his heart, and such a fierce river was the only time he had seen it in his life.

For such a water attack, even he felt that he couldn't guard against it, let alone the unsuspecting Yellow Turban troops in the city.

"The generals listened to the order, the whole army attacked, captured Zhang Liang alive, and pacified Hebei in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Zhao Yang's military order was issued, countless bamboo rafts were worn behind him, each with thirty Han soldiers, who marched towards the city with swords.

The bamboo raft is surrounded by a shield wall composed of shields, guarding the soldiers inside, and the crossbowmen in the middle are vigilant around, and the eagle-like eyes search every corner.

At the same time as Zhao Yang launched the attack, Huangfu Song of the south gate also issued an order to attack, and the terrain on their side was many times better than that of the west.

He boarded the only wooden boat and commanded the whole army to attack the east gate, and as the river continued to flow, the advantage of the defenders of the east city gradually diminished.

When the soldiers of the Han army found out about this phenomenon, they were all shouting loudly and waving their weapons, and now the morale of the defenders in the city has fallen to the extreme.

They wanted to escape, but the Overseer team behind them never dared to make up their minds.

"General, although the morale of the defenders in the city is not high now, it is also inconvenient for us to attack the city, just rely on these weird ropes sent by Zhao Zhengbei, can they work?"

Huang Fu Song's confidant Zhou Kan, looking at the city wall in front of him, was a little worried, after all, it was the first time for him to attack the city on the water.

Huangfu Song didn't answer, he was also thinking about this problem, when Zhao Yang sent him this batch of ropes, he also explained some usage methods for him.

In the past few days, he has been training the troops to climb the city, and every time he sees the soft ladder, he always feels very unconfident.

If Zhao Yang knew Huangfu Song's thoughts, he would definitely regret his decision, these rope ladders were the best things he got when he signed in.

"Now we can only do this, to this extent, they have no way out, we also have no way out, now what we fight is the willpower of both sides."

Huangfu Song watched the city wall getting closer and closer, and he cheered up the generals around him, so that they could see the urgency of the matter clearly, and not to finally think about fighting a good fight.

The generals didn't speak when they heard this, and they also knew that now Luoyang had sent three holy decrees in a row, each time more severe than the other.

The above words made them shudder when they heard it.

If Zhang Liang can't be defeated today, then what awaits them is the end of death and death.

"Please rest assured that the general will do his best to break through the east gate and eliminate the rebels."

Huangfu Song finally showed a smile on his face, he stroked his beard, and sure enough, he didn't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and he had some confidence in today's success or failure.

"Attack with all your might! The archers pressed the defenders of the city. ”

The bamboo raft finally touched the city wall, and at this time dozens of ropes flew up on the bamboo raft, and the front section of each rope had a large hook.

Through the gaps between the battlements, hooks hung on the walls. The soldiers shook their heads, and another hook also succeeded in hooking the city wall.

When the rope ladder was successfully constructed, countless soldiers began to climb, and the Yellow Turban people did not want to sit still, so they threw down the things used to defend the city such as stones and rolling logs.

The smashed brains of the Han soldiers burst out, the dead bodies fell one after another, and the blood stained the river below.

The archers of the archery battalion immediately formed a long snake formation and covered the city with uninterrupted firepower, and many of the newly emerging yellow turban soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

As soon as the siege battle began, it entered an unexpected white heat, Huangfu Song looked at the Han soldiers who kept falling, although he regretted it in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and insisted.

"General, it's not okay to attack like this, our casualties are too great, let's retreat, and when we have the opportunity to attack again, they can't escape anyway... Yes! ”

A lieutenant really can't stand it, he doesn't want his troops to suffer too many casualties, which will directly affect his position in the army.

He came forward to dissuade him, but before he finished speaking, he was killed by Huangfu Song with a sword.

The sudden change really frightened the surrounding generals, they saw Huangfu Song's determination, and no one dared to withdraw the army anymore.

"General Ben said that this city must be captured today, even if it is a battle to the death of a soldier, he will not hesitate, if anyone dares to withdraw lightly, he will be the final result."

Huangfu Song pointed to the corpse of the captain, and looked at the generals around him with a serious face, the generals hurriedly received the order, they looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The fierce rain of arrows of the Han army finally broke the last bit of hope in the hearts of the enemy, and countless Han troops rushed to the city and fought fiercely with the defenders.

Everyone had no way back, and they all used full strength to fight, but the Han army continued to climb the city and join the war group.

The Yellow Turbans desperately blocked it, waiting for reinforcements from within the city. But until the moment they died in battle, none of the reinforcements they were looking forward to appeared.

Huangfu Song and the others under the city, looking at the Han army that kept rushing up the city wall, and the control range of the city wall, which was constantly increasing and expanding, he exhaled deeply.

The east gate was opened by the Han army with great difficulty, and Huangfu Song led the army into the city and encircled and suppressed the enemy with all his might.

After holding out for several months, Xia Quyang was finally broken by the Han army.
