In a formed regular army.

Archers belong to the more advanced class.

First of all, the physical fitness is beyond that of ordinary infantry, otherwise it would not be possible to pull the bowstring and throw arrows at a high frequency on the battlefield.

In addition, archers need to master certain skills, and they need to go through a lot of training before they can become a qualified archer and go on the battlefield.

So archers are more expensive.

Therefore, such a wild road like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thief.

In the eyes of everyone, there should not be a large number of archers, but the truth is the opposite.

After a stalemate between the attackers and the defenders for a while.

The situation is slowly changing.

Standing on the high tower, Cao Ang could clearly notice one thing, that is, the output frequency of his archers had become lower.

Many people even made the action of kneading their arms or shaking their hands, obviously because their arm strength was exhausted, and even their muscles twitched.

Even if it is a multi-stage shooting, leaving some room for breathing and rest, it can't hold up under such a high-intensity output.

And once it is impossible to maintain high pressure.

Naturally, it can't stop the attacker.

After the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves paid a lot of lives and even covered the moat under the pontoon bridge for several layers, the vanguard finally crossed the riverbank.

Locust-like figures.

The black and black rushed towards the city.

Carrying a ladder, carrying a log, and running like crazy, just to get close to the city wall as quickly as possible.

And the most striking.

It was after the vanguard crossed the river.

A large number of archers suddenly appeared in the rear, and they also crossed the river, and lined up to the left and right in formation.

Previously, on the other side of the moat, the range was not enough, so he could only be beaten with his head down.

Now it's in scope.

Naturally, it was a backhand to put pressure on the city.

Although it doesn't look like a good archer, the arrows, with a whooshing sound of breaking through the air, are still quite threatening when they pierce the city.

At the very least, the defenders in the city can't export unscrupulously, and must hide behind the battlements.

And so it goes.

It also accelerated the advance of the Yellow Turban Thief.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound.

The first ladder on the wall appeared.

……

"The archers stand back, and the long soldiers go up!"

With Cao Chun's order.

The herald spreads his orders to the left and right.

Soon, the archers who were originally standing in the front row called it a day and retreated to the back row.

On the contrary, the spearmen, who had been staying behind, ready to fight, and ready to attack without saying a word, went to the front, ready to fight the enemy who was about to climb up in close combat.

"Knock knock knock!"

The rhythm of the drums on the top of the city suddenly changed.

Compared with before, it became more and more dense and intense, like a pouring rain, constantly beating on everyone's hearts.

Many soldiers who originally just took a piece of food and ate a piece of military pay and worked hard to do a job.

At this very moment.

But I can't help but be full of blood.

It seems that this is no longer a job to eat, but a cause that can throw their heads and spill their blood for it, and it is worth their lives.

All of a sudden.

The morale of the defenders throughout the city was high.

The rainbow-like fighting spirit made them forge ahead with all their might, and they were engaged in a crazy confrontation with the enemy troops who were setting up a ladder to climb up.

"One, two, three, push!"

With a shout.

Several soldiers mustered all their strength, exerted their strength towards a ladder, and slammed it out.

"Boom!"

A few seconds have passed.

The ladder that had flipped over on its side fell to the ground, making a dull roar, and the Yellow Turban Thieves, who had climbed halfway, were directly crushed and seriously injured.

……

Then it drowned in a crowd.

And in addition to using manpower to push.

The easier way to use is to hit with a car, a crash made of solid wood, pushed from the general slammed over, and hit the ladder.

You can knock a ladder over in an instant.

The battle has come to this stage.

The two conveniences are already real knives and guns, fighting with human lives, and someone stops breathing every second.

Although the defenders of the city had the convenience of the city, because the number of people was too small, the enemy army was more than several times that of the defenders, so it was extremely difficult to defend it.

Ladders came up.

Many of them have hooks at the top, and once they hook the battlements of the city wall, if they don't tear the hooks open in the shortest possible time and overturn the ladder, they will not be able to push them halfway up.

However, on the north side of the city wall, from east to west, there are many ladders erected, and sometimes a team has to take care of several meters of the city wall at the same time.

It's just too busy.

Even if it is time, the strength is consumed quickly.

So this stage didn't take too long, and the first group of Yellow Turban soldiers who climbed the ladder had already approached the city, and at this moment they were waving their weapons in their hands, trying to disperse the defenders' defenses.

"Poof!"

A clear sound of entering the flesh.

And with it.

It was a thief soldier, who was directly penetrated by a spear through his face, and suddenly a huge blood hole appeared, and then fell weakly.

He fell to the ground and splattered with blood.

…………

Seeing the war heat up.

Cao Chun is also by no means ambiguous.

Immediately ordered the use of the city's fortification equipment.

Although the army had arrived in Liqiu County a few days in advance, the efforts of these days were not enough for them to make too many preparations.

Therefore, there were not many things hoarded in the city to defend the city.

Use a little less for a little less.

And this thing isn't that good to add.

Therefore, in the previous battle, Cao Chun had been hiding and not working, because he didn't want to waste it for no reason.

By this moment, the vast majority of the enemy troops had climbed more than halfway, and the pressure on their own troops was already somewhat overloaded.

And he knew.

The time has come.

And under the orders of Cao Chun.

A large number of rolling logs and gravel were carried and pushed down by the soldiers, often swept away in one piece, or hit several ladders in the surrounding area.

"Ah...... Boom! ”

As the screams rang out one after another.

I don't know how many thieves who were besieging the city were smashed by these large heavy objects, flying from the air and falling to the ground, as if they were making dumplings.

And after rolling logs and the like.

It is the most lethal and terrifying hot oil and gold juice.

A piping hot paste that is burned.

Pouring it down, not only does it hit a wide area, but it also gets on the skin.

That's a "stab".

There is a feeling of frying the skin and flesh on an iron plate, not to mention this paste, which cannot be shaken off after being touched, and after the skin is burned, it will enter the body along the way.

Once it's too much.

That's basically a dead end.

And so it goes.

The siege of the city has also slowed down.

And in the position of the Yellow Turban Thieves, the generals who were watching from a distance in the rear saw this situation.

Qu Shuai Zhang Rao couldn't help frowning.

Then he shouted to the left and right: "Shout to the front, and say that whoever ascends to the city first will be rewarded with ten times the grain, and after entering the city, he will choose what he loots!" ”

Many soldiers in charge of heralding.

They shouted at the top of their lungs.

And after hearing that such a reward was offered.

The soldiers who were already struggling to climb the ladder were even more red-eyed now, as if they were not going to die, even if they were facing these terrifying things, they had to climb up even one square.

The first to climb will be rewarded with ten times the grain!

What is this concept?

It is enough to ensure that they will not be short of food for a long time to come.

If you don't fight for your life at this time, when will you wait?

All of a sudden.

Because Fang just used the killing weapon, the good situation created seemed to be pulled back by the other side.

……

Li Gou is an ordinary soldier.

A native of Jiyin County, his family has been farming for generations.

It's just that when he came to his parents' generation, the world was in turmoil, and he encountered many changes year after year.

As a result, the family can only be reduced to farming for the rich families in the county, renting some of their fields, and most of the grain is used as land rent every year.

And because the harvest has not been good in recent years.

The landlords have not reduced their rent.

As a result, the more you plant, the more you lose, and even a young man like Li Gou, staying at home is not only useless, but also has to give an extra ration.

So when the conscription order came.

He did not hesitate to join the army.

Not to mention joining the army and paying military salaries, it is said that if he solves the problem of eating, he can solve a lot of burdens for his family.

And at this moment on the head of the city.

Li Gou clenched the spear tightly with both hands, his face was a little pale, and he was bending over and panting violently.

He's a little out of strength.

But before he could catch his breath.

There was a roar from the side.

"Dog, what are you still standing for, come on!"

Familiar sounds.

This is the captain who leads himself.

Li Gou didn't defend anything.

At this moment, everyone is fighting to the death, and it is good that he can take two breaths in the back.

With his frayed cuffs, he wiped the beads of sweat that dripped from his eyelids, and rushed up again.

But he raised his spear and thrust it under the city.

While still muttering: "I'm a dog, I'm a dog, the elders said, this name is so good, no one called a dog can die!" ”

"Kill one is enough, the more you kill, the better the reward, there is food and money, you can buy land and land if you take the money back, and you don't have to pay land rent to Master Zhang!"

The fragmented thoughts in his mouth never stopped.

But the movements in his hands are also like mechanization, frantically fighting with the soldiers on the ladder.

An ordinary soldier like Li Gou.

It's just a microcosm of the entire battlefield.

On the defending side of the city, thousands of individuals like him formed a solid barrier that still did not retreat half a step at this moment, and with their weak troops, they blocked the enemy from the city!

……

Dian Wei is like a fish in water on this battlefield.

The twin halberds in his hands kept waving.

Although the attack distance is not enough, but the momentum is heavy, no matter what kind of physique of the thief soldier, as long as he is next to him, it will fall directly.

Even the brains of melon seeds have been split in half.

"Eat me with a halberd!"

With Dian Wei roared.

He pinpointed the weak spot of a ladder and slashed straight at the weapon in his hand.

An originally tough and sturdy ladder.

Under his terrifying power, it was crispy like a pancake, making a crisp "click" sound, and then cracking from the upper port.

Even a string of thieves hanging on the ladder fell with them.

See this.

Dian Wei suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared.

There was a horrible laugh.

With his bloodstained face, hideous and terrifying face, and figure like a copper mountain tower, it is really a ghost and a god descending into the world, and a fierce star descends to earth!

So much so that the city wall where Dian Wei was located.

The soldiers on several cloud ladders were even a little afraid to climb, and they were really frightened by Dian Wei.

It's just the power of one person, and it's too small after all.

Even if it's a fierce god like Dian Wei.

On the entire battlefield, it didn't play a big role, and as time went by, a large number of thieves eventually overflowed.

It won't be long before I see it.

There will be the first to come.

……

"Shuai Qu, the soldiers of our army are about to enter the city, and the last general will ask to go to war!"

At this time, I asked to play.

I just want to get some credit.

Zhang Rao didn't mind.

Ascending to the top of the city does not mean that you can take the city, you still need to go through a hard battle.

After the soldiers landed in the city, they really needed to be accompanied by generals in order to play a greater role.

He bowed slightly.

He took off his helmet wrapped in a yellow scarf, handed it to the general, and then solemnly commanded.

"Put on your helmet and tell the soldiers that Ben Shuai will fight with them to kill the enemy!"

Zhang Rao was definitely unwilling to take risks.

But I want to use this helmet to boost the morale of the army again.

Therefore, it is simply a whole such operation.

And for the safety of this general.

Zhang Rao is still relatively relieved.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, these generals all have some skills, and they are all very good, as long as they find that something is wrong, they will quickly withdraw.

Besides, when a large number of your own soldiers come to the top of the city, the more people there are, and the generals are mixed in, it will be safer.

……

Smoothly got the order.

The general, with his helmet on his head and riding a horse under his hip, approached the field.

Soon they came to the banks of the moat.

Just out of prudence.

This man did not blindly cross the moat on horseback, fearing that if there were cold arrows on the top of the city, he would come into range of the enemy and might be injured.

It's just that what he doesn't know is.

Right now, his every move.

All fell into the eyes of Cao Ang, who was standing at the top of the city tower.

Watch as the yellow turban general pulls his horse to a stop.

It seemed to be ready to shout at the soldiers in front of him.

Cao Ang's eyes lit up suddenly.

I just think it's a godsend!

Since the beginning of this battle, Cao Ang has actually been involved in it, and from time to time he has to use the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot out some of the more key characters.

It's just that that's all there is to it.

He wanted to use his god-like archery skills to kill the enemy commander.

But those people are too far away.

Cowardly shrunk back.

No matter how skilled he is, he can't break the rules of physics, so he can only watch.

But now it's different!

There are actually high-level generals who dare to enter his range without knowing whether they are alive or dead.

Such a big piece of fat fell in front of him.

If you don't clip it, wouldn't it be a disgrace?

Cao Ang immediately drew his bow and arrows.

The movement was swiftly aimed at the target.

It only takes a few breaths before and after.

Cao Ang let go of his right hand.

At the same time, he did not stop replacing the second arrow, moving the crosshair downward slightly, and another arrow came out.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

Two arrows followed one after the other.

With the blessing of the three-stone strong bow, these two arrows burst out with extremely rapid speed.

In an instant, the wind and clouds have been broken.

……

On the battlefield.

The Yellow Turban generals held their helmets in their hands and held them high above their heads.

Then he took a sharp breath.

He was about to shout at everyone.

But suddenly I heard a strong sound of breaking wind.

A hissing roar.

When his eyes are locked.

But there were some shocking discoveries.

An arrow was coming towards his head.

Before the general could make any response, he didn't even have time to give birth to despair and fear.

"Poof!"

The arrow had passed through his head.

Suddenly there was a ball of blood.

And after a blink of an eye.

Another arrow was stuck in the head of the warhorse under his seat.

The battlefield was originally noisy and full of people.

Suddenly, there was the wailing of a war horse, which for a moment overshadowed all other noisy sounds.

It also attracted the attention of both the offensive and defensive sides.

……

All those who see clearly.

I was dumbfounded at the moment.

Zhang Rao touched his head, only to feel afraid for a while, if it was himself who walked forward.

I'm afraid he's the one lying on the ground now.

There are indeed masters in this city!

At such a distance, you can pierce the head with one arrow, accuracy and strength are indispensable, what kind of archer should you be to have this level?

Zhang Rao felt horrified in his heart for a while.

And at the same time.

Cao Chun and other middle and senior generals.

They were all dumbfounded.

Standing on a high castle tower and shooting an arrow can instantly kill enemies on the other side of the moat.

What is a hundred steps through Yang?

Look ahead.

He turned his head to look at Cao Ang on the city tower.

"Shhh

Suddenly there was a gasping sound.

General Cao...... What a man of God!

……

"Shout!"

Cao Ang gave an order.

The soldiers around him immediately cheered, jumped up one by one, clapped their hands and shouted.

"The commander of the thief army is dead, General Cao is mighty!"

In fact, the soldiers defending the city did not know if it was the main general who was shot, and many people did not even see this scene.

But so shouted from all the heads of the city.

You can't go wrong!

They just shouted.

So the next second.

The whole city was cheering one after another, and everyone shouted angrily while waving their weapons in their hands.

"The commander of the thief army is dead, General Cao is mighty!"

The shouts shook the sky.

Ring the clouds!

The morale of the defending side was suddenly like a rainbow, and the will to fall back was originally due to the approach of the enemy army, but now it rose against the trend again.

On the other hand, the besieging side.

Many people can't help but look behind them, wanting to see if their boss is really dead?

Even if they are fighting for food.

But if the top boss was killed by an arrow, then these soldiers, who were mostly made up of refugees.

There will also be feelings of fear and confusion.

This look.

Something goes wrong!

……

As the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of soldiers.

There are few people in the army who have seen Zhang Rao's appearance.

What's more, it's so far away, how can you see the face clearly, you only know that there is a war horse under the seat.

The most important point is to hold a golden helmet.

I definitely didn't run away now!

It's really their own coach who died.

All of a sudden.

The morale of the army is weakened.

But in the blink of an eye, it has changed from climbing bravely to stagnating.

The soldiers who stood at the bottom of the tower, who had not had time to climb the ladder, even hesitated and stayed in place in a daze, not knowing what to do next.

The morale of one side has soared.

The other side is depressed.

Under the trade-off.

The situation on the battlefield was pulled back in an instant.

Cao Ang equalized the situation with the strength of one person!

……

Zhang Rao is now almost angry.

He really wanted to give himself two mouths.

It's okay to rely on the numerical advantage to continue right, what tricks are you playing, you have to hand over the helmet to that short-lived ghost, this is a bad thing.

It stands to reason that as a real manager.

He should have stepped forward now.

Prove to everyone that he is alive.

But he didn't dare!

There were obviously archers in the city, and Zhang Rao felt chilled when he saw the two arrows that took his life just now.

He had no doubts.

If you dare to go into range.

Then he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being killed with one arrow, Zhang Rao does not feel that his brain is a little harder than the previous general.

So that's where the situation gets stuck.

Unable to clarify the rumors that the manager is dead.

If you continue to fight in this state, your morale will get lower and lower.

Once wait until it completely collapses.

It would be a massive defeat!

This must be unacceptable to Zhang Rao.

Rather than stalemate here.

It's better to withdraw the soldiers at this moment.

He showed his face in front of the soldiers, clarified the rumors, and cleared up the haze.

After the morale is sufficient, the attack is renewed, and the city cannot be defended.

Anyway, the arrows of the defenders in the city, and the equipment of the city defense are almost consumed.

After thinking about it for a moment.

Zhang Rao raised his hand and ordered.

"Mingjin withdraws his troops and postpones the siege!"

With the clarion call for retreat sounded.

The soldiers who were besieging the city, as if they had found the backbone, were pardoned one by one.

The footsteps rushed towards the rear.

The first wave of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves' offensive.

That's it!
