"Come here, keep filling in the holes for me." Chi You ordered.
Chi You did not pay much attention to the life and death of He Yi and He Man. Although there were not many high-end talents among the Yellow Turbans, there were still a lot of people like He Yi and He Man.
It's just He Yi and He Man. Even if they die, Chi You can always promote others to replace them.
What Chi You really cares about is whether he can successfully fill in the dense potholes ahead.
The Yellow Turban Army was indeed powerful in numbers, and it only took one day to fill all the holes.
However, this process obviously did not go smoothly. Even with the protection of swords, shields and sandbags, these Yellow Turbans lost nearly 2,000 people. Coupled with the previous spearmen, the Yellow Turbans were all gone in one day.
Nearly three thousand people were lost.
Li Xiang was already very satisfied with the fact that he was able to use those holes to consume three thousand troops of the Yellow Turbans. After all, in this process, the Han Dynasty did not lose a single soldier, but only consumed some arrows.
…
The next day, just like yesterday, Chi You started the siege operation early.
"Zhang Shiyi, you lead a frontal attack and must capture the city gate." Looking at the Han troops waiting in formation on Chenliu City, Chi You said solemnly.
"No." After receiving the order, Zhang Shiyi did not hesitate and immediately directed a group of yellow scarf soldiers to move forward quickly.
However, Zhang Shiyi now does not dare to show off in his general armor. Instead, he wears cloth armor like ordinary yellow turban soldiers.
So now, looking from afar, no one would think that Zhang Shiyi was a Yellow Turban general, and would only regard him as an ordinary Yellow Turban soldier. After all, the lessons learned by He Yi and He Man yesterday were right in front of them, and Zhang Shiyi would not
Don't take your own life seriously.
"Zhang Shicheng, Li Boxheng, you two will lead the catapult troops and a group of archers to come forward and provide cover."
Naturally, Chi You would not simply let the Yellow Turban soldiers attack the city directly without making any other preparations. Otherwise, it would just be a living target for the Han army on the city wall.
When attacking a city, it is necessary to maintain necessary long-range fire suppression.
"Don't be anxious. Move the enemy troops closer to the moat before shooting." Li Xiang said as he looked at the Yellow Turban soldiers who had already begun to attack the city.
"Kill...kill...kill..."
As the generals on both sides gave orders and the soldiers on both sides continued to mobilize, the battlefield became increasingly noisy.
"Fire the arrow." As the enemy continued to approach, Xue Rengui held the sword in his arms tightly and finally gave the order to shoot the arrow.
"Boo...hoo...boo..."
At Xue Rengui's order, thousands of arrows were fired in an instant, and a black rain of arrows directly enveloped the Yellow Turban soldiers who were preparing to attack the city.
"Quick, quick, quick, raise your shield." Looking at the dark rain of arrows, Zhang Shiyi immediately ordered anxiously.
However, the rain of arrows arrived in an instant, and even though Zhang Shiyi responded in time and issued the order, hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers who did not react still lost their lives.
"Damn it, hurry up, fire back with arrows." Li Boxheng, who hurried over, looked at the miserable state of the yellow scarf soldiers in front of him, felt angry in his heart, and roared an order.
However, the Han army shot arrows from a condescending position, but the Yellow Turbans fired from the bottom up. Therefore, the damage caused by the Yellow Turban archers to the Han troops on the city wall was pitifully small.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Although the investment vehicle team led by Zhang Shicheng was a step late, they finally arrived.
"Lord, be careful!" Xue Rengui's voice came suddenly.
Before Li Xiang could understand what happened, Li Xiang suddenly lightened up and was pulled over by Xing Tian.
"boom."
There was a loud noise, and a stone bullet was directly hit where Li Xiang was standing, and the stone fragments flew away in all directions.
A cold sweat broke out, and Li Xiang, who had just walked around the gate of hell, felt slightly angry.
"Order, all catapults to fight back immediately." Li Xiang looked at the catapult troops of the Yellow Turban Army in the distance and said in a cold voice.
"Put the ladder on the river immediately! Throw the shield on it and let the soldiers cross the river! Hurry!" Zhang Shicheng took advantage of the long-range troops of both sides to restrain each other, and then got a slight chance to breathe, and then said with a solemn expression.
"No!" Hundreds of people worked together to push the ladder to the other side, and placed their shields on the ladder one by one. Then, the yellow scarf soldiers started to attack directly along the ladder one by one.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Naturally, not every soldier needed to climb up the ladder set up on the river. Some yellow scarf soldiers who knew how to use water simply jumped into the river and prepared to swim directly across.
However, these Yellow Turban soldiers had just jumped into the river when a series of miserable screams were heard.
Li Xiang has placed inversions on the holes he dug before, so naturally he will not touch the moat. Now the moat is covered with barbs and barbs. If anyone dares to go down, even if he does not die, he will be disabled.
.
The yellow scarf soldiers standing on the edge of the city defense saw the miserable condition of the compatriots in front, and naturally they would not jump in stupidly again.
However, they saw the miserable plight of those who jumped into the river in front of them, but the people behind them did not.
The yellow scarf soldiers who were still moving forward pushed directly, and the soldiers in front who were still in panic jumped into the river involuntarily.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Wave after wave of shrill screams spread across the entire battlefield again.
"How's it going? How many of the Yellow Turban soldiers have crossed the river now?" Li Xiang asked calmly to Xue Rengui beside him, ignoring the miserable situation of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
"Your Majesty, there are already more than a thousand." Obviously, Xue Rengui had already prepared for this question. Li Xiang had just asked, and Xue Rengui answered directly without any consideration.
"In that case, let's get started." Li Xiang's cold voice came out again.
"promise."
"Send the order, throw kerosene." Xue Rengui shouted angrily.
Following Xue Rengui's order, hundreds of tall and strong soldiers immediately picked up the fire oil cans and started throwing them in the direction of the moat. It was said that they were preparing to smash them in the direction of the ladders on the moat.
This group of soldiers are all strong men selected by Li Xiang personally from the army. Although the distance between the city wall and the moat is not close, these people can still barely reach it with their strength.
"Send the order, prepare the rocket."
Seeing the cans of kerosene being thrown at the Yellow Turbans on the moat, Xue Rengui ordered again.
Xue Rengui even bent his bow and nocked an arrow himself, shooting five arrows at a time toward the front.
