Chapter 179： : Shoucheng

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Zhang Fei was very enjoyable, and he experienced the thrill of a cavalry charge. At this time, he had a feeling. Three thousand cavalry can definitely penetrate Cao Jun. This is the confidence brought by the strength of the cavalry. Before Liu Bei had been entrenched in a small place like the plains, he had no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the horses could only be possessed by generals in the army. As for the cavalry, , Just in imagination, these cavalry are still the foundation of Xuzhou.

Xu Chu stared at Zhang Fei, who was as if killing gods on the battlefield, with a green face, shouted, holding a long knife, and riding a horse towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei also spotted Xu Chu at the first time. It was not the first time that the two met each other. When their enemies met, they were extremely jealous and greeted them with a slap on the horse.

People who are both good at martial arts, once they fight, they basically ignore the situation of the soldiers. Of course, Xu Chu has absolute confidence in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. As for Zhang Fei, he will pay more attention to the singles.

You came and I went, and in a blink of an eye it was more than thirty times. Zhang Fei, who was immersed in the battle, suddenly remembered that he was in the Cao army at this time, and he didn’t know what happened to the cavalry under his command. He glanced around and was startled. There were nearly five hundred cavalrymen. At this time, I am afraid there were only more than two hundred men. Many cavalrymen turned around and ran in the face of the tiger and leopard cavalry, completely disregarding their image.

Zhang Fei is cool, and the cavalry who followed are miserable. To them, the tiger and leopard cavalry are ruthless characters. They are synonymous with superb riding skills and high martial arts. They are just temporarily formed cavalry. It's okay to bully and bully the infantry with the wind, but the cavalry with real swords and guns confronts them, and they get scared.

"In the next day, watch Grandpa come to take your dog's life again." Zhang Fei shouted and rode his horse back into the city.

Xu Chu led some people to kill for a while. Seeing arrows flying over the city, Guan Yu led his troops out to respond, and had no choice but to lead the cavalry to retreat.

Although half of the cavalry was broken, the defenders went out of the city to fight with the Cao army, but it greatly encouraged the morale of the defenders. In the past few days, they have been passive defenses. Victory.

Regardless of the morale of the defenders in the city, Cao Jun began to attack the city. The focus was on attacking the eastern city wall. Although the remaining two places were feigned attacks, the number of troops invested reached 10,000. Only in the west of the city, there was no Cao Jun. of.

The lack of one of the three can weaken the morale of the defenders to a great extent. After all, under the temptation to survive, soldiers may not defend the city with all their heart, because there is still a way to retreat.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses seem to be quite a lot, but after being scattered across the city walls, it still looks a bit empty.

This is the first time that Lu Bu has watched the siege battle up close in a true sense.

Cao Jun walked in the forefront of the shield soldiers. They held their shields and approached cautiously towards the city wall. Behind them were neat archers, armed with strong bows and hanging bows, and followed closely behind the shield soldiers. Within the scope of protection.

Behind the archers, there are horrible well fences. Each well fence is densely packed with dozens of archers. The height of the well fence is basically the same as the city wall. In this way, once the well fences The upper archers do their best, and the superiority of the defenders will be greatly weakened. Jing Lan is a weapon of siege in this era. Although it moves slowly, once it gets close to the city wall, it will greatly help the siege.

The soldiers carrying the ladder on their shoulders do not have any weapons on their bodies. Their main task is to hang the ladder on the wall so that the army behind can charge towards the wall.

In the center of the army, there are cars wrapped in cowhide, I don't know what it is.

Lu Bu's observation is very detailed. In his eyes, these things are very simple, but ancient wars are like this. Unless there is explosives and the city gate is directly blown down, it can only be an attack like this. Perhaps it was until the defenders had no food, grass or weapons, or luckily, they occupied the city wall and attacked a city for several years.

Glancing around, Lü Bu noticed that the defenders on the city were very nervous, their hands holding weapons even trembling slightly. For many soldiers, this was their first battle. Although they were standing on a high place, they were very nervous. There is a psychological advantage, but after all, it is a life-and-death fight. If you are not careful, your life will be lost.

Fifty flying knights were closely guarded by Lu Bu's side. Twenty of them had their weapons replaced by large shields. Their duty was to protect Lu Bu's safety.

Chen Deng looked at the flying knight facing the enemy, with a disdainful smile on his mouth. What a famous military commander is nothing but a coward. Before, he thought that Lu Bu is a simple-minded fighter. As long as he stimulates a little, he might join him. When it came to the camp against Cao Jun, who knew he was not fooled at all. As for the high martial arts, no one had seen it personally, it was just word of mouth.

The rumbling drums of war sounded, and the Cao army outside the city moved. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, the archers quickly approached the city.

"Let it go!" Liu Bei gave an order. Arrows from the city were like rain, pouring down the city. Even with the protection of shield soldiers, in the face of the dense rain of arrows, many archers still fell. Going down, on such a battlefield, after being injured, only death will greet them.

The advantages brought by heights are reflected at this moment. Condescendingly, bows and arrows can exert greater power.

The Cao Jun archers under the city also began to counterattack. They just shot arrows at a high place, and their accuracy was much worse. If they couldn't grasp the distance, they would be soft and weak after they flew up to the city wall.

The soldiers carrying the ladder began to accelerate, and they launched a death charge toward the city wall.

The sound of the war drum became more anxious, and Cao Jun began to attack, following the ladder soldiers, the main force of the siege.

Jing Lan's speed was very slow, and at this time, he was already close to the city wall. The archers above Jing Lan began to do their best. They kept shooting bows and arrows towards the defenders on the city, only needing to aim roughly.

The defenders began to suffer casualties, especially after Jing Ran appeared. Such a weapon is a nightmare for the defenders. You need to always be aware of the sudden arrows on the Jing Ran, and be careful of the arrows below the city. , And be careful of the soldiers climbing up the ladder. Faced with three threats, many soldiers who have experienced the battlefield for the first time are somewhat at a loss.

Liu Bei can be described as a veteran on the battlefield. He has moved to various places for so many years and has very rich experience.

As soon as the ladder was on the city wall, three or five soldiers pushed down the ladder together. The soldiers who were climbing fast on it were thrown into pieces, but this outcrop provided a target for the archers on the well. , To tear down the ladder, you will have to pay the price of blood, of course, the fall of the ladder caused a lot of trouble to the Cao Jun soldiers.
