Chapter 392

Xu He snorted and said, "then? Liu Ye has just led his troops in the northern expedition against Xiongnu, and he has lost a lot of troops. How did Sima fear the defeat of the 50000 army? "

"Sima Shuai heard that Liu Ye led the Han Army to attack from Hulao pass, and immediately led 50000 troops out of the city to fight with the Han army."

"At the beginning, under the command of Sima Shuai, about 50000 troops attacked to encircle Liu Ye's army. However, the Han army was still unable to fight with our army. Therefore, Sima Shuai left only 10000 troops to guard the central army, and the rest 40000 troops and horses participated in the siege."

"But I didn't think of it. Liu Ye had prepared an iron horse in advance in the direction of Yuzhou. Seeing Sima Shuai's army pouring out, the enemy's iron cavalry immediately surrounded him and killed Sima Shuai's middle army. Liu Ye also led an iron horse to kill him from the central army. The impact of the enemy's iron horse was very strong, and Sima Shuai was captured and killed by the enemy."

Xu he's face is gloomy: "Liu Ye is a fierce general of ten thousand enemies. It's no surprise that he can capture and kill Sima Ji."

"It's not Liu Ye who does it himself, but what's the name of Xiliang Jinma Chao...

I can't imagine that there are more and more fierce generals under Liu Ye's account.

Xu he waved impatiently: "I know, you go down."

All the people in the tent went down. Xu he stared at the map without saying a word.

"Liu Ye, if you succeed or lose the enemy, this battle is the battle of life and death for you and me!"

On the second day, Xu he immediately ordered 130000 troops to speed up their march, and two days later they arrived at the foot of suanzao city.

Standing on the top of the city, Liu Ye looks down at the city. He really has a feeling that black clouds are crushing the city. He sees more than 100000 yellow turban bandits swarming into a huge crowd.

Among the more than 100000 yellow turban thieves, banners are flying everywhere. The tallest one is Xu he's handsome flag. The whole flag is yellow and embroidered with special symbols of Taiping Road. After all, Xu he is one of Zhang Jiao's disciples.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers, Xu he suddenly opened a channel like a wave splitting wave. Surrounded by thousands of his own guards, Xu he slowly stepped forward, about 300 steps away from the city. Even a strong bow and crossbow were hard to hit. Moreover, Xu and the soldiers around him had leather shields, so there was no need to worry about the sneak attack of Han archers.

Xu he looked up at Liu Ye on the top of the city and yelled: "Liu Ye, although you forced someone into the mountains in those years, but I don't care about the past. As long as you are willing to surrender, how can I make you a general?"

When Liu Ye hears Xu he's words, he immediately laughs: "ha ha ha, this general is a descendant of Gaozu, how can we send thieves?"

Xu and Leng hum a: "since you are so ignorant of the current affairs, then don't blame me for breaking the city, no chicken or dog left!"

Liu Ye doesn't say a word. He just reaches out and picks up a strong three stone bow. He takes an arrow from the guard's hand and points it at Xu he.

Surprised, Xu he quickly cheered around: "protect my commander!"

Thousands of guards around him raised their shields and wrapped Xu he firmly in them.

However, the arrow only shot out a hundred paces and fell to the ground with a package on it.

More than ten shields were removed. When Xu he saw the package, he turned and said, "go, take it."

In response, the guard pulled his horse forward and picked up the package. After opening it, he was pale and did not dare to hand it to Xu he.

Xu he frowned: "what's the matter?"

"Xu Shuai..." the guard swallowed his saliva and nervously said, "it's Sima Shuai's head."

And above the city, Liu Ye's voice is far away.

"Xu He, the traitor, you took the starving people from the thieves to attack the Han state. I would have advised you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise Sima Ji would be your end!"

Xu he was furious: "Liu Yuqing an dare to cheat me!"

"When attacking the city, those who capture and kill Liu Ye will replace Sima Ji as the commander-in-chief of the army, and they will be rewarded with 20 beauties and 300 stones of grain and grass!"

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. Hearing Xu he's reward, more than 100000 yellow scarves suddenly burst into cheers and cheers, all in high spirits.

"Commander in chief, which side of the wall will our army not attack?" Zhou Su asked.

Encircling three places and one is the most basic principle in the art of war. However, Xu He sneered: "sour jujube is not a small town, but also need to surround the three que one, to the general siege, but also day and night attack the city!"

Zhou Su had the heart to remonstrate, but seeing Xu he's face full of anger, he thought he would go back to persuade him again, so he rushed to the front line to supervise the war.

"Dig the trench and surround the city on all sides!"

One hundred thousand soldiers dug a deep trench one mile outside the city to prevent the Han army from breaking through.

After the trench was dug out, outside the four walls, there were a yellow turban bandit's army array, each with a number of 20000 or so, more than the number of defenders in the city.

Seeing the Yellow turban bandits encircling the four gates, Liu Ye immediately exclaimed, "the enemy forces are besieged on all sides. Our army must fight to the death, and I command to block all the gates!"Xu he wanted to block the Han Army in the city, while Liu Ye directly ordered the four city gates to be blocked. Seeing the Yellow turban thieves surrounded, the Han Army in the city understood that this time it was impossible to kill them. Instead, they were determined to fight with each other.

The Yellow turban bandit formation was divided into three parts. Thousands of archers marched to the place 100 steps away from the city gate. In the first row were swordsmen and shields to protect the archers.

And the other two parts are infantry, one holding shield and one holding knife, and the other part is as a supervision team, standing still.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Under the city head, the archers of the Yellow turban bandits set up their bows and set up their arrows. Aiming at the top of the city, the Han Army, facing the torrential rain of arrows, immediately hid under the low wall, which was immediately covered with arrows.

"Raise the shield, fight back!" Yu Jin yelled

When the Han Army on the top of the city heard Yu Ban's order, a whole row of large shields suddenly stretched out from behind the women's wall and covered the wall. Only the countless arrows of dangdangdang were heard shooting on the shield.

The archers of the Han Army stood up one after another under the cover of the shield and fought back at the archers and soldiers of the Yellow turban thieves under the city head.

The number of yellow turban bandits above the city head is large, and the firepower is dense, but they shoot upward from below the city head. Although the number of Han archers above the city head is small, they are commanding and shooting down the city. Therefore, there is no big difference between the archers of the two armies.

At this time, the troopers of the Yellow turban bandits rushed towards the low wall of Zizyphus jujuba, carrying a temporary made ladder. However, the number of ladders was not large.
