Chapter 270 Zhang Ja arrives
The soldiers responsible for guarding the city on the city tower quickly brought stones, wood, boiling water, etc., all of which were placed on the city tower.
The sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the sound of horns sounded long.
The army under Yuan Shao's command roared and launched the most fierce charge.
"Arrowman, get ready!"
Tian Yu did not panic at all and immediately ordered.
Archers emerged from the city wall, stood inside the female wall, aiming at the soldiers attacking under the city wall. The soldiers set their bows and shot arrows, and the sharp roars broke through the air, and the dense bows and arrows fell like rain of arrows, shooting on the bodies of Yuan soldiers.
"Puchi!Puchi!"
The arrows were sharp and pierced into the body.
The bow and arrow are messy shooting, either shooting into the body, shooting into the soldier's thigh, or shooting into the soldier's face. In short, there are many tricks and it is hard to count them...
The dense rain of arrows caused great obstacles to the charge of Yuan's soldiers.
A group of soldiers fell down and died under the bow and arrow.
Tian Yu stared at the soldiers attacking from the city tower with sharp eyes. After the reinforcements approached the city tower fifteen feet, he waved his hand and stopped the soldiers from shooting arrows, and ordered: "Prepare the caltrop!"
After the words came, soldiers on the city tower stood up with dustpans.
"Throw!"
With low growls, the soldiers struggled to throw out the caltrops in the dustpan.
Iron caltrops are also called caltrops, which are iron thorns smelted with iron. There are four iron thorns in total, and they are like a regular triangular pyramid. No matter how they are thrown out, they will fall to the ground and fall to the ground, with one iron thorn facing upwards. Especially the four iron thorns of the caltrops are about several inches long. Whether it is a war horse or a soldier, they will be pierced through when they step on it.
The soldiers scattered them out with a dustpan, and the caltrops fell down.
Dingdang! Dingdang!
One by one, one by one, one by one, three iron thorns were firmly supported on the ground, and another iron thorn was facing upwards.
Yuan Shao's soldiers rushed up and encountered the landing caltrop.
As soon as he stepped on it, the iron thorn penetrated the footboard directly, blood dripping, and a wailing sound came everywhere.
The caltrops fell densely on the ground, with very strong lethality.
This blocking is even more powerful than bows and arrows.
The bow and arrow can be used to wield steel knives to resist, but the caltrops are difficult to deal with after falling to the ground. Because there are too many soldiers charging, all the soldiers are rushing forward and cannot stop at all. Once they stop, they will be hit by the soldiers rushing up from behind, and their bodies will unconsciously rush forward and immediately hit it if they step on it.
The siege of the city quickly reached Yuan Shao's ears. Yuan Shao had a gloomy face and stared at Tian Yu's location on the city tower. Unexpectedly, a small county magistrate had so many tricks, which was really surprising!
"Send the order and the first person to attack the city tower will reward you with a hundred gold!"
"The person who kills the county magistrate will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
"Those who capture the county magistrate will be rewarded with a thousand gold medals and will be promoted to another level!"
Yuan Shao issued three orders in a row, saying that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. After receiving Yuan Shao's orders, the soldiers were even more fierce, like hungry wolves desperately. These soldiers were about to attack the city and had already hung their heads on their belts to fight. They could only sacrifice their lives to fight, and they had no other choice.
Yuan Shao gave generous rewards, and the soldiers even fought hard to charge.
Even if there are dense caltrops in front of you, even if a bow and arrow are shot, it is difficult to stop the soldiers from charging.
The shouts of killing are louder and louder than the wave!
Tian Yu stood on the city tower with a serious expression and a solemn expression flashed in his eyes.
This battle is not easy!
But no matter what, Tian Yu could only persist. Seeing that the Yuan army soldiers outside the city rushed through the area where the caltrops were located, they had already moved closer to the city tower and began to attack the city with ladders, cloud cars, siege cars, etc. Tian Yu no longer hesitated and asked the soldiers to attack with wood, boiling water, boiling oil, etc. Tian Yu even used lime and sprinkled it directly with lime.
The piercing of caltrops into the feet can be cured, but lime is sprinkled in the eyes, but it is difficult to cure. Tian Yu was helpless in such a cruel defensive method. He had to stop Yuan's soldiers from siegeing the city.
However, even if lime is used, it still cannot stop Yuan's army from siegeing the city.
There were countless casualties, and Yuan soldiers still rushed to the city tower.
At the beginning, the soldiers on the city tower blocked the Yuan army soldiers rushing up. Gradually, more and more Yuan army soldiers rushing up, but the soldiers on the city tower did not have enough strength to block these attacks. Without the command of the commander of the commander and the brave soldiers fighting, the county government forces controlled by Tian Yu were too short to resist.
Tian Yu was well prepared, but his soldiers were unable to hold on.
At this time, Tian Yu had also participated in the battle.
Tian Yu held a long sword in his hand and kept slashing the soldiers rushing up. His body was covered in blood, his face was covered in blood, and his eyes were red. But more and more Yuan soldiers made it difficult for Tian Yu to resist and gradually lost his support.
Yuan Shao saw the situation on the city tower and smiled.
There is no suspense in this battle.
However, when he saw Tian Yu's defense, he felt that Tian Yu was a little capable. If there were fierce generals who were good at fighting on the battlefield and strong soldiers on the city tower, the soldiers under his command could not easily gain a foothold on the city tower. When he thought of Tian Yu's previous arrogant behavior, he was about to become a prisoner or a cold corpse, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel proud.
This is how the person who goes against him ends up.
"Report!!"
With a panic sound, he came from the rear of the army.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression suddenly became cold.
The soldier ran over and rolled over and dismounted in front of Yuan Shao, but before the soldier could report the news, Yuan Shao threw out a whip and tugged on the soldier, shouting: "What are you panic? Tell me slowly if you have something to do."
"Yes! Yes!"
The soldier endured the pain and replied: "The rear army was attacked and the Jizhou army attacked."
brush!!
Yuan Shao's face changed drastically and he instantly turned into a pig's liver.
Now, it is the critical moment for him to attack Pingen County. There is another hour, or even an hour, that he can completely capture Pingen County. But at this time, the Jizhou army actually came, and Zhang He and Ju Su actually rushed over to support him with their troops, which made Yuan Shao's throat feel like a fly was stuck in his throat, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Report!!"
Another soldier ran over with a look of panic.
The soldiers reported: "The Jizhou Army broke through the defense line of the rear army and was coming quickly!"
Yuan Shao's mood became even more intense and his face looked ugly.
Xu You sighed lightly and persuaded: "Lord, the situation is not good, please withdraw for the time being."
Guo Tu nodded and echoed: "Lord, Ju Su and Zhang He came with their army. Although they temporarily solved the plight of Pingen County, they were also involved in the war and fell into the war in Pingen County. Next, we not only want to capture Pingen County, but also Ju Su and Zhang He must take it together. Temporarily avoid their edge and then attack."
Yuan Shao was still unhappy after hearing the words of the two strategists.
Angry!
Why do people disturb his good things at critical moments?
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Yuan Shao had no choice but to give the order, and the sound of a gong resounded throughout the battlefield. When Yuan soldiers attacking Pingen County heard it, they were confused at first, but quickly retreated. The dense army withdrew, and the soldiers defending on the city tower breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Yu looked strange. What was going on?
Chapter completed!
