Chapter 424

After returning to the city wall, Huangfu Chaobo and others watched the yellow scarf bandit's soldiers carrying the earth bags buried in the moat running forward quickly. They saw that they were only 150 steps away from the city wall. The yellow scarf soldiers rushed forward faster and only 20 steps away from the moat. At this time, Huang Zhong ordered the crossbow soldiers to start shooting. I just heard "buzzing" on the wall At the sound of shooting, a thousand crossbow soldiers were divided into three groups and quickly shot out their crossbows and arrows. Looking up from the bottom of the city wall, you can see a black rain of arrows falling from the sky. It's a pity that the number of crossbow soldiers is too small to take care of. Huang Zhong can only arrange 1000 crossbow soldiers at the gate of the city.

However, several rounds of arrow rain still caused heavy losses to the yellow scarf soldiers. In front of the crossbow, the archers were not idle. Behind the crossbow, there were more archers. They were shooting from the back under the command of the general. They also caused great losses to the yellow scarf soldiers who were filling the river below the city wall.

Seeing the clouds of arrows coming out of the city, the general's face changed greatly. Green ox horn in a side way: "Yan Shuai, court dog officer's bow and arrow is too much, according to this, our loss will be not small?"

"Well, what's the matter? We have 200000 troops, all experienced soldiers. With 30000 or 40000 troops in Luoyang, can we resist our attack?" Zhang Bai rode down the road;

as several people were talking, the first group of soldiers who came forward had retreated. As soon as we saw, only 5000 soldiers had returned, and less than 4000 soldiers had returned, which only filled a few small points in the moat. Looking at such a loss, Huang Jinzhong will feel headache.

"No harm," Zhang Yan said, "since it's a siege, there must be damage. Let the second group of soldiers set out, and let zuojiao and Guo Daxian send big shield soldiers to guard!"

Zhang Yan's order was soon conveyed, and two large shield soldiers came out of the yellow scarf soldiers in the second row to protect the second batch of the soldiers to the direction of the city wall.

Huang Zhong at the head of the city saw that Huang Jin had sent out a large shield soldier, and immediately ordered to transfer the six level elite archers who were still on standby under the city wall to the city wall, because the attack effect of the elite archers was much stronger than that of the ordinary archers.

When the yellow scarf army of the east city began to attack, the attack of the North City and the West City started almost at the same time, and the attack and defense of Luoyang officially opened!

After the replacement of the guards, the battle damage of the yellow scarf army has indeed declined. However, there are still hundreds of soldiers lost in each round of river reclamation. At the end of the day, the moat alone has cost the Heishan army 3000 or 4000 soldiers, not including thousands of injured soldiers. It can be said that the Heishan army has lost thousands of soldiers in a day's River reclamation. This is just the loss of the black mountain army in the East. If we add a few other gates, the loss of the yellow scarf army will be over ten thousand. However, the effect is also obvious. Under Zhang Yan's attack regardless of casualties, half of the six passages in the moat of the eastern wall have been filled.

One day's battle was just the home field of the long-range soldiers. The yellow scarf army had not enough troops like cavalry and bowmen, and the only few well laps did not dare to get close to the city wall. Therefore, it was impossible to threaten the bowmen at the head of the city. It just used the shield to cover the river. At first, it was big shield, but at the back, because the shield was badly damaged, Zhang Yangan Crisp people directly use the huge shield made of logs to cover, which makes the loss of the yellow scarf soldiers smaller. Huangfu Chaobo didn't say a word about the arrangement on the wall of the city. Huang Zhong was in charge of it. Originally, in his opinion, the enemy had no cavalry, so he could send cavalry out to rush for a while. In addition, for those shields, if Huangfu Chaobo was guarding the city himself, he would probably use a small catapult at the head of the city.

In the evening, after the yellow scarf army retreated, Huangfu Chaobo told Huang Zhong what he thought. Huang Zhong knew that Huangfu Chaobo didn't mean anything else. He just asked himself for advice. So I patiently explained to Huangfu Chaobo that cavalry and catapult are the last cards of Luoyang garrison. Now the battle has just begun. One is that the effect will not be very good. The other is that even if we attack the Huangjin army, we will lose only some light soldiers, which has little influence on its main force. So Huang Zhong was talking while Lou GUI was smiling. As soon as he spoke, he heard that Huangfu Chaobo was sweating. OK, that's the difference between professional and non professional.

Outside the city, the general of Huangjin army was also in the camp of Heishan. In order to show her justice, Zhang Yan did not sit on the throne, but broke through the encirclement of the throne. He led all the generals of the Heishan army to sit on the left side of the throne and gave a row of seats on the right side of the throne to the Baibo army and the Jingzhou Army. Zhang Yan is a rare brave and resourceful general in the yellow scarf army, which is why he was able to gain the recognition of the overwhelming majority of black mountain people after Zhang Niujiao's death. Since he is ambitious, his goal is definitely not just to integrate the yellow scarf army in form, but to control it thoroughly, so he has done a very good job in these details. After all the Yellow scarves arrived, Zhang Yan didn't immediately start the discussion. Instead, she asked people to present their food and let everyone have enough to eat and drink.

However, from the very beginning, the nature of the bandits appeared. All the Yellow turban leaders complained about the lack of siege equipment and the fierce attack of the garrison on the wall. However, all of these were blocked by Zhang Yan's saying that "those who enter Luoyang first are the leaders of yellow scarves in the world". All of us are in great spirits and say that we will overcome all difficulties tomorrow and strive to lay a foundation for yellow scarves in the world as soon as possible. For these small head performances, let alone Zhang Yan, even the leaders of the ordinary black mountain army don't pay attention to them. What Zhang Yan really values is the white wave army, and of course, the yellow scarf of Qingzhou.It's a pity that Guan Hai, the leader of Qingzhou Huangjin, said that it's too far away for Qingzhou Huangjin to come to participate. However, he still said that he was willing to follow Zhang Yan's agreement and agreed that those who entered Luoyang first would be the leader of Huangjin in the world. The reason why Zhang Yan showed the Baibo army again was not only that the Baibo army's combat power was only lower than that of the Heishan army and the Qingzhou army, but also that the Baibo army had a good ally, qubei, Youxian king of the southern Xiongnu. Qubei is now leading thousands of his Xiongnu cavalry to wander in Hedong. They have close relationship with Guo Tai and others of Baibo army. Guo Tai and others have already contacted qubei and invited his 5000 cavalry to join in the war. They promised to give thanks after the war.
