Yan Liang, Yuan Tan, Zhou Yu and others rushed to the handsome tent, and listened to Zhou Yu tell him about the ugly death in the hands of Zhao Yun.

Yan Liang held back his anger and went directly to rest.

Yuan Tan watched Yan Liang leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, I have wronged you." ”

Zhou Yu said disapprerovingly: "It's okay." At this time, we should try to be patient. ”

"As long as we stick together and defeat the enemy, everything else is fine."

Yuan Tan nodded heavily and said, "Everything is up to you, Gongjin." ”

Zhou Yu also returned to his tent and asked the old medical worker to help treat the wound.

The next morning, Yuan Tan gathered all the generals and held the first siege meeting.

In this first siege, he was still the commander in chief, sitting in the Chinese army.

Zhou Yu is the mastermind and is responsible for auxiliary command.

As the commander of the cavalry, Yan Liang commanded the original 6,000 cavalry of Wenchou, as well as the 4,000 cavalry brought this time, a total of 10,000 cavalry.

Jiang Qi served as the leader of the catapult and the arrow tower.

Jiang Yiqu as the commander of 8,000 shield soldiers and so on.

As soon as the siege meeting ended, a total of 80,000 troops marched towards the city of Xiapi.

On the city wall of Xiapi, as soon as Yuan Shao's army was dispatched, it was noticed.

Roars echoed across the city walls.

"The enemy is coming!"

"The enemy is coming, get ready!"

"Archers are in position!"

"Thunderbolt soldiers, get in place!"

Xu Shu had just fallen asleep in the mansion for less than an hour, and he hadn't even taken off his armor.

Hearing the movement outside, Xu Shu hurriedly got up and ran outside.

The entire Xiapi City was full of the sound of soldiers running wildly.

When Xu Shu rushed to the city wall, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Zhao and others had already arrived.

Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu's eyes were bloodshot, and said softly: "President Shuai, thank you for your hard work." ”

Xu Shu waved his hand.

Everyone looked out of the city.

The mighty army was all over the mountains.

At a glance, there is no end in sight!

Zhang Zhao looked at the cavalry on both sides of the enemy's army, and said with a pale face: "Hebei Yuan Shao, it is really strong. This batch of cavalry alone, at least tens of thousands, when will our Jiangdong be able to compare? ”

Lu Bu also rushed to the city wall at this moment, and sighed: "A few years ago, when I was driven out of Chang'an by Li Dao and Guo Xi, I defected to him, and he was far from being so powerful. Over the years, he has defeated Gongsun Zhan, and his strength has really increased greatly. ”

Xu Shu ignored everyone's discussions, but glanced at all the generals and said, "Where is Huang Gai?" ”

Xu Sheng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "General Huang Gai rushed to the east gate of the city to prevent the enemy from attacking the east gate!" ”

Xu Shu said: "Where is Huang Zhong? ”

Gan Ning hurriedly said: "The old general Huang Zhong is already in place at the west gate of the city!" ”

Xu Shu looked at Yuan Shao's army that was getting closer and closer, and roared: "Hurry up, everyone is ready!" ”

The generals rushed away.

Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, and Gan Ning each led an army and sat on the city wall.

Lu Xun, Ling Tong, Zhu Ran and Zhou Fang were surrounded by Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao and Chen Jiao.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai gathered at the gate of the city with five thousand modified chariots.

Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu took all the cavalry and waited behind the chariot convoy.

Lu Su was personally in charge of the thunderbolt.

The soldiers on the city wall ran back and forth constantly.

Roars come and go!

Inside the city, countless soldiers carried boulders and approached the thunderbolts.

Outside the city, Yuan Shao's army stopped on the other side of the moat.

The army of 70,000 was led by 8,000 shield soldiers, followed by catapults and arrow towers, and the central army in the array.

Yan Liang led 10,000 cavalry and split the left and right sides.

Zhou Yu and Yuan Tan sat at the end of the Chinese army.

Beside the two of them were standard-bearers, drummers, trumpeters, and pro-guards.

Zhou Yu looked at the Jiangdong flag fluttering on the city wall of Xiapi, and his expression was quite complicated.

Yuan Tan gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "Gong Jin, leave it to you." ”

Zhou Yu came back to his senses and nodded.

Still looking ahead, Zhou Yu pulled out his saber and said in a deep voice: "Blow the horn, the second array of cloud ladder soldiers!" ”

A solemn trumpet sounded.

Everyone in the city instantly looked tense.

Outside the city, the shields spread out on both sides.

Behind the catapults and turrets, thousands of soldiers carried ladders and rushed madly towards the moat, placing them on top of them and retreating.

The flag bearer waved the flag again.

Eight thousand shield soldiers held their shields and stepped on ladders, crossed the moat, and built a shield wall on the other side of the moat.

Catapults and arrow towers, pushed by soldiers, slowly crossed the ladder.

On the city wall, Xu Shu's face was gloomy.

As the catapult and the arrow tower crossed the moat and came behind the shield wall, Xu Shu roared, "Thunderbolt! ”

On the city wall, the commanders roared in unison: "Thunderbolt attack!" ”

In the city, Lu Su drew his sword, slammed his command, and roared: "Throwing stones!" ”

The Thunderbolt operator soldier quickly carries the boulder into the wooden frame of the Thunderbolt.

Hundreds of soldiers pulled up the wooden poles in unison.

With the command hand beside each thunderbolt, the flag was waved vigorously.

Boulders leapt over the city walls, arced through the void, and fell outside the city.

As soon as the catapults and arrow towers of Yuan Shao's army crossed the moat, they saw huge stones flying out of the city!

The vast majority of boulders fell in the clearing.

However, a small number of boulders either smashed into the shield wall, smashing the shield wall directly through it.

The soldiers behind the shield wall screamed and were smashed into pulp.

Either smash on the catapult and the turret, and smash the catapult and the turret directly through.

Yuan Tan looked at this scene, his heart rose to his throat, and he hurriedly said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, the enemy army has a way to deal with it!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's okay! ”

Catapults and turrets continue to approach the walls!

Approaching the walls of the city for 400 paces, catapults and turrets brave the thunderbolt to throw boulders at the walls and the defenders on them!

The defenders on the city walls squatted down.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu ordered an attack again.

The flag bearer waving the flag.

The soldiers of the third array of the Chinese army immediately rushed across the moat with the siege ladder, rushed under the city wall, and built the siege ladder.

The soldiers of the Fourth Array rushed up like a tide and rushed up the siege ladder.

Seeing this, Xu Shu ordered all the soldiers on the city wall to get up and launch a counterattack.

The Yuan army on the arrow tower suddenly shot crossbow arrows one after another.

At any given moment, more than a dozen defenders fell under the bolts.

The archers of the defending city walls also attacked the soldiers of the Arrow Tower.

The screams suddenly filled the entire Xiapi City.

Yuan Shao's army, with the assistance of catapults and arrow towers, began to gradually attack the city walls!

Xu Shu ordered the city gate to open and the chariot to dispatch!

Jiang Qin and Ding Feng opened the city gate and commanded the soldiers to push the chariot and slowly rush out.

Behind the chariot, archers and spearmen slowly followed.

Yan Liang suddenly couldn't hold it back, and was about to rush over.

He hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhou Yu.

But the standard-bearer was not seen to give the order.

Yan Liang could only hold back his anger and continue to wait.

As soon as the chariot came out of the city, it dispersed directly towards the army outside the city.

The front of the chariot was fed by a shield.

Behind the shield were inlaid dozens of spears.

There were handles in the back, which were pushed by four soldiers.

The chariots, those Yuan Shao soldiers who rushed to the city wall were pierced one after another.

Behind the chariot, the archers raised their hands and shot.

Countless Yuan Shao soldiers fell under the thrusts of the chariots and the attacks of the archers.

More chariots are heading towards catapults and turrets.

The catapult soldiers were bare-handed.

There is simply no way to resist.

The arrow tower was directly pushed down by the chariot.

Yuan Shao's army, which was attacking the city wall, suddenly cut off.

The defenders on the city walls were deprived of the attack of catapults and arrow towers, and suddenly like fierce tigers, they pounced on the siege ladder.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu let out a long breath and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The flag bearer waving the flag.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's army retreated like a tide.

Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Tan beside him and said, "Eldest prince, continue to attack the city, the gains outweigh the losses." The enemy has already developed a countermeasure to our attack. We can only think long and find a way to deal with the chariot before attacking. ”

Yuan Tan hurriedly said: "Gongjin, you just decide." ”

Yan Liang watched the army retreat, so angry that he almost crushed his back tooth sockets.

I'm here for revenge!

Now, it's become a lively sight!

Looking at the soldiers on the city wall who could not retreat and were crushed to death by the chariots and defenders, Yan Liang roared several times.

Rubbish!

It's all rubbish!

Placing hope on them is the biggest mistake!

On the city wall, Xu Shu looked at Yuan Shao's army and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this Zhou Yu is indeed very powerful.

In this wave of attacks, the defenders of the city suffered at least 1,000 casualties.

Moreover, the other party is not stubborn and knows how to brake according to the time.

This time, he won with the chariot brought by Lu Su, and the next time, the enemy came to attack the city again, and he would definitely deal with it.

Although there is some unwillingness.

However, this Zhou Yu can't die if he doesn't die!

The enemy force was outnumbered, and there were 10,000 cavalry pressing the formation.

If you blindly endure the attack in this way, it is only a matter of time before the city is breached.

Xu Shu clenched the sword at his waist and ran down the city quickly.

It's time.

Xu Shu ran back to the government directly, took a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a large list of contents, and then found a dead man.

Wrapping the sword and letter in a piece of cloth, Xu Shu told the dead man: "These must be and can only be sent to Zhou Yu!" If it can't be delivered to Zhou Yu, don't take the lead. Don't forget! ”

The dead soldier took the bag, rushed out of the city, took off the clothes of a dead Yuan Shao soldier, and did not chase Yuan Shao's army, but ran to the side outside the city and disappeared from sight.
