Chapter 393

Liu Ye had long followed Jia Xu's advice and cut down all the trees around suanzao city and put them into the city to make rolling logs and arrows. Therefore, the surrounding area of Ziziphus jujuba city is empty.

Therefore, although Xu he ordered the Yellow turban bandits to cut down trees and make ladders and other siege equipment, the number of ladders was still small, so the Yellow turban thieves who attacked the city were not dense.

The cloud ladder was built on the wall of sour jujube. The eager yellow scarf thief immediately used both hands and feet and climbed up towards the wall.

"Rolling wood, stone!"

Seeing that the enemy troops began to attack the city, the Han Army immediately lifted the rolling wood that had just been made a few days ago from behind. Two soldiers moved it together and threw it at the yellow scarf thief who was attacking the city.

Bang!

When the leather shield on the yellow scarf thief's hand felt heavy, he was immediately hit by a force of gravity and fell down. His fellow soldiers were also smashed down by him.

Zhou Su frowned: "Archer, aim at the enemy and shoot."

Seeing this, the archer of the Yellow turban thief immediately aimed his arrow at the Han army above the city head. The Han Army that appeared suddenly was immediately targeted by the intensive arrows, causing many casualties.

With the suppression of the archers' firepower, the Han army suffered a lot of casualties. The Yellow turban bandits who attacked the city suffered a great deal of pressure, so they scrambled upward.

The yellow scarf robber's Trooper had just boarded the city and was preparing to show his skills. Suddenly, a row of gaps were opened in the shield wall, and a group of more than 100 warriors suddenly rushed out from behind the shield wall.

All dressed in iron armour and armed with knives and axes, these warriors are the elite soldiers of Liu Ye's army.

"Drive down all the Yellow turban thieves in the city!"

More than a hundred warriors rushed out and swung their swords and axes at the yellow scarf thieves who boarded the city. The iron armour of these warriors could be said to be invulnerable. They didn't need to defend at all. They only needed to concentrate on the attack and were extremely brave. They immediately killed the yellow scarf thieves who rushed up.

However, more and more yellow turban thieves came up on the ladder. Gradually, the warriors of the Han army fell into a fierce battle and began to suffer casualties.

The total number of Han troops in the city is only 16000, and some of them will be left as reserve troops. Only 3000 people can be assigned to the four walls, which can be said to be in short supply.

However, the number of yellow turban thieves is 130000, which is seven or eight times that of the Han Army in the city. The number of yellow turban thieves assigned to each side of the city wall has exceeded the total number of Han army. It can be said that the Han army faces great pressure to defend the city.

However, Liu Ye's face is not worried at all. It seems that he is not worried.

When Xu he saw the fierce battle between the two armies on the top of the city, the Han army was obviously caught in a bitter battle, and immediately he couldn't help laughing.

"In three days, we will capture the city of sour jujube."

And at this time, the East suddenly came a burst of horn sound.

With a frown on his brow, Xu he looked to the East and saw a black line emerging from the horizon, followed by his figure, which turned out to be thousands of cavalry under the banner of Pang and horse.

Ma Chao and pound led six thousand cavalry from afar. The horses' hooves hit the earth, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

"The whole army is ordered not to attack the Chinese army or attack the Yellow turban thieves under the city head!"

Ma Chao saw from a distance that Xu he's Chinese army had tens of thousands of people in front of and behind. They had tight defense and were well-equipped. If they attacked by force, they would have suffered heavy damage.

The six thousand iron cavalry were the odd soldiers ambushed outside the city by the Han army. If they lost too much, they would not be able to contain the Yellow turban thieves.

Ma Chao and Pang Debin split into two ways, heading for the East and north of sour jujube city respectively. The front of the soldiers pointed to the Yellow turban thieves reserve team under the city head.

Boom!

With unparalleled impact, thousands of iron cavalry easily killed the Yellow turban thief's army. The high raised saber of Xiliang iron cavalry easily cut the Yellow turban thief's armor, and the tall and strong fighting horse knocked the Yellow turban thief in front of him to break his tendon and fracture.

Although these yellow turban thieves swept across the Central Plains, they never faced large-scale and organized cavalry. Ma Chao pound led the Xiliang iron cavalry, which was known as the most powerful in the world. Naturally, they could not resist.

The Yellow turban bandit's ready to attack the city was originally ready to be put into the siege later. However, they did not attack the city and suffered heavy losses from Xiliang iron cavalry.

The yellow scarf thieves reserve team was directly divided into left and right sides and scattered in all directions by Xiliang iron cavalry. However, Ma Chao did not stop. Instead, he held up the tiger head Zhanjin gun and pointed at the archer of the Yellow turban thief.

"Kill! It is not allowed to give the general's military orders and not take a step back. "

After defeating the Yellow turban bandit's reserve troops, Xiliang iron cavalry continued to kill the Yellow turban bandit's archers. The Yellow turban bandit's archers were firing arrows at the Han Army on the city's head. Before reaction, Xiliang iron cavalry was like a huge sword, cutting into the Yellow turban bandit's Archer array and breaking through in the middle.

The huge horse's hoof kicked hard on the yellow scarf thief, and the bright saber cut the Yellow turban thief into two sections.

The archers of the Yellow turban bandit are not equipped with the same equipment as the infantry. The infantry should be fully clothed when they are used to attack the city, while the archers are clothed in cloth. After all, archers don't need to fight close to each other. Xu he has limited armour even though he has swept Yanzhou. Naturally, he should give priority to the infantry, and the archer can only put it away temporarily.Ma Chao killed the archers with tiger head and Zhanjin spear. If there was no one among the archers of the Yellow turban thieves, the archers of the Yellow turban thieves were immediately scattered.

However, as the archers of the Yellow turban bandits broke up, the pressure of the Han Army on the top of the city was greatly reduced. The bowmen of the Han army were full of energy. When they aimed at the Yellow turban thieves under the city head, they fired indiscriminately. The casualties of the Yellow turban thieves' infantry increased, and the attack of the city was immediately stopped.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "General Ma is worthy of being a general. He leads the cavalry to fight, and the timing is just right."

Ma Chao has been promoted from Xiaowei to partial general because of his military achievements in defeating Sima Ji.

Liu Ye nodded: "well, order the reserve team on the head of the city to counterattack immediately and drive down all the yellow scarf thieves on the head of the city!"

"No!" Guan Hai walked down the city.

The sound of the drum in the city suddenly rose to the sky and got the signal. The reserve team in the city suddenly rushed to the city with knives and axes and joined the warriors.

After getting the strength of the reserve team, the morale of the garrison immediately rose and they were killed. The Yellow turban bandits under the city were suppressed by the strong arrow rain of the Han army. They could not provide reinforcements. The Yellow turban thieves fell into a disadvantage immediately. Under the full attack of the Han Army, they were defeated.

"Damn it, the enemy cavalry is bad for me!"

Xu he was furious, and the whip in his hand made a sound in the air.
