Seeing Gongsun Fei showing off his power below, Yan Liang smiled slightly at Wang Ji beside him.
"You rebel and traitor, I am the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty. How can I allow you to pretend to be the leader of the imperial edict?"
Wang Ji looked at Gongsun Fei at the top of the city, picked up a war bow, stretched the bow string with difficulty, and shot an arrow at him.
After all, Wang Ji was just a civil servant, and he was already old. The bow and arrow he shot were limp and without a trace of power, and finally fell sideways to Gongsun Fei's horse.
"Hahahahaha. Wang Ji, old man, you can't even eat, but you can still shoot arrows."
Gongsun Fei looked at the bow and arrow lying at his feet and sneered at the city wall.
"A common man, I am at odds with you."
Hearing Gongsun Fei's sneer, Wang Ji couldn't help but cursed loudly.
"We are not at odds with each other, I will shoot you an arrow."
After Gongsun Fei finished speaking, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow. With a whoosh, a wolf-fang arrow crossed the void and shot directly at Wang Ji on the top of the city.
"ah."
Wang Ji couldn't help but scream when he saw the arrow, and was about to duck to avoid it, when he saw a big hand appearing in front of him, holding the incoming arrow in his palm.
"I am Yan Liang, the captain of the Polu Military Academy. It is not polite to come and go. The traitor Gongsun Fei will eat a certain arrow."
He opened his war bow, put the arrow shot by Gongsun Fei on the string, and then hit Gongsun Fei's head directly like lightning.
There was a bang, and Gongsun Fei, the governor of Hejian, died on the spot before he even got on the seat.
"The whole army retreats temporarily and prepares siege equipment. We will attack the city tomorrow. After the city is defeated, I will take the whole city to death."
Gongsun Fei was shot to death, and Gongsun Zan was extremely angry.
Although Gongsun Fei was not that powerful, his clan brother was extremely loyal to Gongsun Zan.
"promise."
"Retreat, retreat, they retreat."
Seeing Gongsun Zan's army retreating like a tide, Wang Ji immediately shouted excitedly.
"Master Taishou, don't be too happy. Today's retreat is just the beginning of tomorrow's brutal attack on the city. Prepare for war."
Gongsun Zan's army left, but Yan Liang did not stay on the city wall. After arranging defense, he left directly with Wang Ji.
"Dong dong dong."
Early the next morning, the rumbling sound of war drums resounded throughout the sky, and Gongsun Zan's army once again arrived outside the city with the prepared siege equipment.
"Siege the city."
Without any nonsense, Gongsun Zan directly announced the siege of the city, with two thousand men as the main attack, and the remaining five thousand cavalry riding horses and running arrows to suppress the wall.
Gongsun Zan's cavalry were very good at riding and shooting, and they were not afraid of the suppression of bows and arrows on the city wall when they came and went like the wind. They often rushed to the edge of the city wall on horseback, spraying endless rain of arrows.
The first time they encountered such a style of play, the Polu army was temporarily overwhelmed and unable to counterattack, and could only defend passively.
"The archers in the city gather together to shoot."
Seeing the Youzhou cavalry raging beside the city wall, Yan Liang directly ordered the troops on standby in the city to use bows and arrows to shoot.
A wave of arrows, like a storm of black crows, fell from the sky and hit the city wall.
"Retreat quickly."
Yan Gang saw the rain of arrows and quickly ordered the cavalry to withdraw.
The suppression of bows and arrows weakened, and the troops on the city wall began to fight back, scattering arrows at the Youzhou cavalry rushing down the city.
"Continue to suppress."
Yan Gang once again led the cavalry to suppress the city wall with a rain of arrows, and then fled away to avoid the arrows in the city. After several attacks and defenses, the attacking soldiers had safely rushed to the city wall.
"kill."
Aerial ladders were set up on the city wall, and the Youzhou cavalrymen quickly climbed up with steel knives in their teeth.
"Cut off the hook knife and knock down the ladder."
The hook knife on the ladder can firmly hold the city wall stone, but the defenders usually cut off the ladder head and then push the ladder down.
"Bow and arrow suppression."
Yan Gang led the cavalry to rush to the base of the wall again, and led the cavalry to fire to suppress the city.
"Gather fire within the city and drive away the enemy's cavalry."
"Pour the golden juice."
Yan Liang was watching everything on the city from the general platform.
Pots of boiling gold juice that had been boiling poured down the ladder. In an instant, everyone on the ladder covered their eyes and fell down with their mouths and noses.
Not only the people on the ladder were unlucky, but also the Youzhou cavalry who looked up and watched under the ladder. Gold juice fell from the sky, which was so corrosive that they kept rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
"Kerosera."
After the golden juice, jars fell from the sky and directly hit the crowd of Gongsun Zan's army.
pounding, pounding
There was a sound of broken bottles, black grease flowed in Gongsun Zan's army, and several torches fell from the sky, turning the ground below into a sea of fire.
Raging flames soared into the sky, turning everything into nothingness. The soldiers on the city wall were covered in fire, rolling one by one, and gradually died in the fire.
This fire not only burned many Youzhou cavalry to death, but also burned all the ladders.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Seeing this situation, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but order his troops to retreat.
Hearing the sound of gold, the Youzhou cavalry quickly evacuated. At the same time, Yan Gang led the cavalry forward again, suppressing the city with arrow rain and covering his own side's evacuation.
Gongsun Zan's army returned to the main formation in disgrace.
"Lord, you have done a lot of preparations for success."
Yan Gang rode his horse and came to Gongsun Zan. He couldn't help but scratch his head when he looked at the city wall.
"It doesn't matter, change the troops and continue on."
Gongsun Zan's advantage lies in the large number of troops and horses, and his prowess in cavalry and archery. His riding bow can reach the city wall by leveraging the horse's momentum, suppressing the defenders on the city wall. However, his disadvantages are also relatively obvious. They are not strong enough to attack the city for the cavalry, and they lack heavy equipment. Siege equipment.
"promise."
After Yan Gang finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the other two thousand cavalrymen dismounted one after another, carrying the ladder and rushed towards Lecheng again.
"Substitute."
Yan Liang was not hesitant. He called on the 1,500 elite soldiers who were already ready and the 500 elite soldiers who were full of fear as the second wave of defense, and rushed to the top of the city together.
The reason why Yan Liang only sent 1,500 Polu troops this time and also added 500 elite soldiers has an obvious meaning, that is, to train the troops. He wants to train these elite troops and let them see what a battlefield is, otherwise there may be something wrong with him later. dragon incident.
The strong men climbed to the top of the city and looked at the blood and flesh on the ground and the corpses that had not been pulled down. Their faces turned pale and they vomited one after another.
"Rookies, if you want to survive, you can only hold on to the steel knife and shield in your hands. There is no other way."
The person in charge of the second wave of defense was called Chen Er, and his surname Chen ranked second in the family, so he got this name.
"Dong dong dong."
The war drums beat in the heaven, and the sound shocked all directions. Two thousand Gongsun Zan's troops stepped on the beat of the war drums and slowly rushed over carrying ladders.
"drink."
Yan Gang was not idle either. He led more than 4,000 cavalry around again, shooting arrows at the city wall to suppress their attack. Yan Liang did the same, commanding the city defenders to use bows and arrows to drive away Yan Gang's cavalry.
After several attacks and defenses, Gongsun Zan's infantry finally rushed to the base of the city wall and set up ladders to reach the top of the city wall again.
