In order to break the morale of the xanthopanax soldiers defending the city, Yang Lin ordered all the officers and soldiers s to shout towards the soldiers defending the city when they have the chance, publicizing the methods of how the Northern Army treat the captives. He even had a few yellow cloth army captive generals speak up, shaking the confidence of the garrison soldier. However, Bu Yi had tightly guarded the city gate. No one came out to surrender or escape, the Puyang City became an isolated island.
Peng Tuo, Huang Shao, Sun Guan, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and the other xanthopanax Generals all went to look for Bu Yi, Bian Xi, Li Shuang, Li Shuang and Liu Qing to shout, urging them to surrender as soon as possible, so as to avoid getting burnt, but as long as they did not listen, it was still useless.
In these few days of time, Yang Lin had built over a hundred lithoclast, because the Puyang was a plain zone, it was not easy to gather stones, Qiao Mao used a lot of workers to find over three thousand carriages of stones, and also built over two thousand treads.
According to the rules of the army, in order to loosen the resolve of the xanthopanax, Yang Lin ordered them to attack from the east, south and west, leaving the north side to allow Bu Yi to escape. And the Yellow River was not far to the north, so he believed that he would not be able to escape. In the meeting before the siege, Yang Lin faced off against the Puyang officials and generals, Yang Lin coldly invited them.
"This time, we are going to fight a hard and tough battle. We are going to use our powerful siege weapons to beat the xanthopanax to the point where he can't even raise his head up. We are going to smash the walls of the Puyang City to pieces so that our heroic Puyang can charge directly onto the city walls, attack the Puyang and capture Bu Yi alive. If anyone dares to take a step back, don't blame the northern cavalry for not recognizing them, and behead them all on the spot. "
's Generals only felt cold sweat trickling down their backs. With these cavalrymen supervising the battle from behind, they had no way out at all. Looking at those fearsome Northern Army cavalrymen, they would definitely mercilessly kill all the soldiers and generals who retreated.
"Attack the Puyang and capture Bu Yi alive."
"Attack the Puyang and capture Bu Yi alive."
All the Generals began to shout loudly, looking a little angry. It was unknown if he was cheering for himself or building up his courage. Even Qiao Mao was puzzled. How did his own generals and soldiers suddenly become so brave?
"Howl …"
In the morning, the ear-piercing cow-horn sounded at the southern gate of Puyang City. Following that, the cow-horns of the East Gate and the west gate sounded.
"I have to find a blacksmith who can make a bronze horn. This horn is unbearable, I think just this horn alone would be able to kill a few xanthopanax cultivators."
Yang Lin was playing a joke on the advisors and Generals beside him as if nothing had happened. He really hated the sound of the Bullhorn, it always made him think of the funeral music. However, this siege was no different from a funeral. As long as this horn sounded, who knows how many lives would be lost?
"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"
The Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves knew that what was to come had finally come. They had waited until the day they lost their patience, they would not die, with the blade on their head, if they did not fall from the sky, they would be on tenterhooks.
Standing on the high walls of the Puyang City, and looking at the black mass of soldiers and soldiers, Bu Yi, Bian Xi, Li Shuang and the others felt an uncontrollable pressure in their hearts. The soldiers in front of him were as if they had been reborn, and were no longer attacking like they did in the past few months. Instead, they were acting as if they were facing death, swallowing the mountains and rivers, with a stance that would never break Puyang.
What made Bu Yi and the others even more afraid were the cavalry of Youzhou s that appeared and disappeared occasionally. That was the true alliance of powers. Once the Puyang broke through, it would be impossible for the xanthopanax to break through. In this endless plain zone, if one saw one or twenty thousand cavalrymen fighting in front of him, even the bravest general, even if he had a hundred thousand men, he would probably quickly fall apart.
Although there were a lot of people, they were all abnormally neat and quiet. All of them held long spears in their hands, and the trident spear blade pointed directly at the dark and gloomy sky. The ten thousand rays of golden light that reflected off of it appeared especially bright in the dark sky, causing the soldiers of the xanthopanax to feel a chill down their spine.
Bu Yi, Bian Xi, Li Shuang, Liu Qing and the rest were standing on top of the city wall in a straight line, looking at the slowly expanding army of cavalry of Youzhou with serious expressions. Just like the other Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves s, they also felt the pressure from the cavalry of Youzhou and its army. Even though they had been through hundreds of battles, they still felt nervous. This opponent was none other than the cavalry of Youzhou that had won many battles.
"Brothers, we have reached the final juncture. The officials outside the city were not Qiao Mao's scumbags, they were cavalry of Youzhou who had won a hundred battles and a hundred victories. In front of them, being lucky was the same as committing suicide. Breaking through was undoubtedly courting death. The only way for us to survive is to defend the Puyang, drag them down, drag them to death, and then, we will leave the city to fight back. "
Bian Xi and the others were also high-ranking officers, and were more clear about the importance of the battle between the cavalry of Youzhou and his army. To be able to train the Puyang troops of the seven ten thousand people into such a team in such a short period of time, it was definitely not an easy task. Regardless of the current fighting strength of the Puyang's army, the training level of these generals were first class.
"Lord General, judging by the number of soldiers in the four cities, the main direction of attack is the South of the City Sect. Did you transfer more than 10,000 soldiers from the North Gate to focus on defending the South of the City Gate? "
"No need. Although the main attack of the army was at the south gate, we had to guard against any tricks from the army. If the North Gate draws too many troops, they will launch a surprise attack on the North Gate, and at that time, it will be even harder to guard against. "
Bu Yi rejected Bian Xi's suggestion. He understood more than anyone else that the Puyang could not be defended against. The soldiers that were left in the North Gate were only there to prepare for the final breakthrough. Although he had no hope of breaking through, he had to prepare for the worst.
"Go to your positions. If there is any danger, immediately send someone to report and mobilize your men." "Remember, even if you die, you die on the city wall."
"Understood."
Bu Yi and his three assistants immediately ran towards the four doors. exorcism had long told him that the officers' main attack direction seemed to be towards the south gate, so he chose to guard at the south gate.
But this time, Yang Lin is fighting in a straightforward manner, the three gates are mainly attacking, the forceful attack is at the south gate, the North Gate will leave you with your lives. However, Yang Lin would not give him the chance to fight.
The ones in charge of commanding the attack on the southern gate were Pan Feng and Yu She. The ones in charge of leading the attack on the southern gate were Pan Feng and Yu She. Pan Feng, Yu She, being able to train the soldiers and the village men of fishing yang to be the vanguard of the siege, had indeed put in some effort.
"archer, proceed!"
Pan Feng, Yu She and the others bellowed and led the three groups of archer out of the group and towards the front. Each team of archer's mission was to use their bows and arrows to press down a section of the wall between the two enemy building, and shoot down all the xanthopanax soldiers who dared to show their heads.
"Ready, shoot!"
Arrow after arrow shot into the sky, cutting through the dark sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, howling and shooting towards the xanthopanax soldiers on the city walls. The fierce arrow ruthlessly nailed the xanthopanax soldier, immediately releasing waves of wails.
Amongst the soldiers of the xanthopanax, only the high-ranking officers had some armor. How could a human's body withstand the sharpness of sharp arrow? Some of the xanthopanax's soldiers were nailed to the walls. As for the archer s of Qiao Mao's army, they were all wearing shiny armor. As long as they were not hit in the face, they were basically safe.
"Beat the drum! Attack the city!"
Pan Feng and Yu She suddenly waved the small flag in their hands, and their right hands pressed down. Instantly, the drummers lined up behind the array immediately spread out their arms, and brandished their drum hammers, pounding with all their might.
"Dong Dong Dong …"
The deafening Battle Drum shot up to the sky, and even the earth began to shake. Heavily pounding on the hearts of the officers and soldiers, the soldiers were burning with passion, their blood was boiling, and their blank gazes gradually blurred.
"Kill …"
Along with waves of howls and howls, the eyes of the three thousand soldiers in the first wave of attack flashed with a light. Carrying a ladder, they rushed out of the formation and rushed towards the city wall. The city wall in front of them was their life. Destined that it would be their last barrier. The further they went, the longer their lives would last. Otherwise, this would be the place where their lives ended.
"Shoot!" Shoot them! "
General of the Yellow Scarf Army roared, his eyes bloodshot, the big blade in his hand waved in front of the soldiers, hurting them all. Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves who had hidden behind the city gates immediately stuck his head out, pulled his bow and arrow, and shot downwards.
However, as soon as they appeared, they were attacked by arrows. The archer below the city had been closely watching them. Usually, when one person revealed their head, several arrowheads would shoot out. Hearing the pu pu pu sounds was an echo that shot into xanthopanax's body. Ding Ding Ding Ding, that crisp sound was the sound of the arrows hitting the city wall, letting out waves of sighs.
"Go, quickly go …"
Pan Feng, Yu She, and the rest shouted as they urged the officers and soldiers s to climb up the city walls. More than 300 ladders of clouds came up, and regardless of whether they were willing or not, under the might of the big blades, the officers and soldiers s raised their shields, opened their mouths wide, and climbed up the city walls with all their might.
"Push, push the ladder."
"Smash them! Smash them to death!"
The General of the Yellow Scarf Army roared and gave orders to the soldiers. They also knew that the loss of the Puyang meant that their end was nigh, so they recklessly picked up the rocks piled on the wall and smashed them downwards, pushing the ladder outwards.
There were simply too many xanthopanax. Not long after, over three hundred ladders were pushed open by them, and those ladders fell backwards. The officers and soldiers on the ladders fearfully grabbed onto the ladders, and along with the ladders, they fell down from the sky.
"Put up the ladder and go up again!"
The surviving officers and soldiers once again lifted up the ladders, heading towards the city wall. Regardless if they were willing or not, under the Generals's shouts, they climbed up the cloud ladder again. The Arrows and Shitou, who were taking risks from the xanthopanax, advanced forward once again towards their victory in their hearts.
