After making fifty or sixty ladders, all the wood collected had been lost. Although it was a bit small for an army of 60,000, Yu Du did not have any extra time to collect wood.
In three days, at most, Wen Chou and Zhang Zha's 30,000 elite troops could arrive. If they had not captured the city by then, everything would be too late.
"Instruct the three armies to fight to the death. They will capture Anyang within three days and capture Yuan Shu alive. The first person to capture the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and will be promoted to commander-in-chief, commanding 10,000 soldiers."
Now that he knew how powerful he was, Yu Du immediately gave the order to die, and at the same time promised a big pie that no one could resist.
"Fight to the death in Anyang and capture Yuan Shu alive."
"Fight to the death in Anyang and capture Yuan Shu alive."
"Fight to the death in Anyang and capture Yuan Shu alive."
When the Yellow Turban Army heard Yu Du's reward, their eyes lit up, and endless fighting spirit emerged from their bodies.
"My lord, there is something about this poison,"
Feeling the sudden increase in morale of the Yellow Turban Army, Tian Feng frowned.
"It doesn't matter, I want to weigh the capabilities of this Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army."
Tian Feng frowned because he was afraid of sacrificing too much, but Yuan Shu didn't think so. The so-called wealth and honor are obtained in danger, and the same is true for military training.
If you want to get an elite soldier, it's not just about training. If they can't experience the baptism of the battlefield, they will be nothing more than a silver-like wax spearhead in the elite, which is useless. This is the so-called elite soldier in hundreds of battles.
Yuan Shu hoped that this siege would bring blood to all his troops, so that they could be used in the future.
"My lord, you might as well move to the inner court, as long as General Dian Wei is here."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu shook his head. How could he move to the inner court when the two armies were fighting?
"My lord, you are the most sincere person and the shepherd of a state. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, so you should go to the inner court."
Tian Feng once again advised Yuan Shu to leave the city wall.
"Yuan Hao, I have never admitted that I am a gentleman. I am just a person who wants to end the troubled times. As for whether I am a gentleman or a villain, let others decide later."
Seeing that Yuan Shu still refused to go down the city wall, Tian Feng became anxious.
"My lord, if you can't get off the city wall, then Tian Feng will jump off the city wall."
After Tian Feng said that, he stepped directly onto the battlement with one foot and grabbed the battlement with his other hand, preparing to climb up.
"It's nonsense, Dian Wei, pull him down quickly."
Seeing Tian Feng being serious, Yuan Shu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly ordered Dian Wei to pull Tian Feng down.
"Lord."
Tian Feng couldn't break free from Dian Wei's two big hands.
"Okay, Dian Wei, I'll leave this place to you. I'll follow the military advisor down to the city wall."
"promise."
If he couldn't afford to offend him and couldn't afford to hide, Yuan Shu immediately decided to hand over the city defense to Dian Wei and followed him to the inner court.
"Dong dong dong."
"Hou Bing, I order you to lead your troops as the vanguard and fill the moat of Anyang City."
"promise."
"Zhang Hu, I order you to lead your troops to attack with all strength."
"promise."
"Zhou Yang, you lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to feint attack on both sides."
"The rest of the commanders are ready to obey orders at any time."
"promise."
The drums of the Yellow Turban Army rumbled, and Yu Du in the center pointed his broadsword, and the Yellow Turban Army under his command charged forward carrying bags of sand and earth.
There is a small river outside Anyang City, so there is a moat around the city. With the moat, the first thing the attackers have to do is to fill the moat.
"Fire arrows,"
Dian Wei, dressed in heavy armor, stood on the city wall, watching the Yellow Turban Army move like ants moving, and directly ordered to fire arrows.
Countless arrows fell from the sky and shot a Yellow Turban Army member to death outside the moat. However, the Yellow Turban Army seemed not to be afraid of death and continued to fill the sandbags into the moat.
Some were even shot to death by arrows when they threw sandbags into the moat, and their whole bodies fell into the moat.
Regardless of whether it was people or sand, Anyang's moat was finally filled due to the Yellow Turban Army's fearless energy.
"The whole army will charge with me."
Zhang Hu directly waved his long sword, and the ten thousand yellow scarves under his command, which had been prepared for a long time, surrounded fifty or sixty ladders, began to charge towards Anyang City.
"Fire the arrow."
Facing the charging Yellow Turban Army, Dian Wei was not nervous at all, but calmly directed his troops to snipe.
The Yellow Turban Army's soldiers were not fully equipped with armor, but Zhang Hu, as the vanguard, was equipped with a small shield. Each Yellow Turban Army held up the shield with their left hand and continued to charge with arrows.
Seeing the Yellow Turbans falling one by one on the way to charge, Dian Wei's eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow, without a trace of ripples.
"Keep cumming, don't stop."
"promise."
"Be prepared to break rocks and roll logs."
"promise."
Despite the huge casualties, Zhang Hu finally rushed to the foot of Anyang City. Fifty or sixty ladders were immediately set up on the walls of Anyang. The Yellow Turban soldiers, wearing no armor and holding steel knives, climbed up the ladders.
"put."
Dian Wei gave an order, and the rolling logs and rocks that had been prepared fell from the sky, and followed the ladder to knock down the Yellow Turban soldiers one by one from the ladder.
"Shuttle."
Zhang Hu gave an order, and some Yellow Turban troops appeared under the city wall with hemp ropes wrapped around their shoulders.
These Yellow Turbans formed a team of two, each holding a flying claw that looked like an iron hook in their hands. After a while, they spun and shot the flying shuttle towards the head of Anyang City.
The flying claws were wrapped around several times and finally hung on the battlement. These hemp ropes were all tied with knots the size of fists. After seeing the success of the flying shuttle, the Yellow Turbans all bit their steel knives and began to follow the knots.
Climb up to the city.
This is a unique siege method of the Yellow Turban Army. In the early days of the Yellow Turbans, they lacked food and clothing, and they had no siege equipment, so the Yellow Turban Army invented this flying shuttle siege technique.
Although shuttle siege is not a clever move, it is great for stealing cities at night. This is why most of the early sieges of the Yellow Turban Army were successful at night.
"Don't be afraid, the swordsman will cut the rope."
Dian Wei had already known about the Yellow Turbans' tactics. He had experienced shuttle sieges many times. He also knew how to deal with them, so he had prepared a thousand swordsmen and axes early, holding broad knives and big axes to deal with them.
Shuttle.
A famous swordsman and axeman appeared, and then used all his strength to slash at the flying shuttles hanging on the top of the city.
The flying shuttle hemp rope used by the Yellow Turban Army was also made of special raw materials, and the knots were thick, making it difficult for ordinary steel knives to deal with it. However, facing the knife and axe hand prepared by Dian Wei, it was a bit of tofu with brine, and everything was reduced.
things.
"Bang bang bang."
A series of sounds of ropes breaking were heard, and the shuttle was cut off directly by the force of the big axe. The Yellow Turban soldiers hanging on the shuttle let out a mournful cry and fell from mid-air.
"Archer, suppress."
"Archer, suppress."
Dian Wei and Zhang Hu simultaneously commanded the archers to suppress, and the archers from both sides began to shoot at each other above and below the city, but the result was obvious.
The archers of the Yellow Turban Army shot from below, but their strength and speed were much inferior. Some of them lost their power before they even reached the top of the city, and fell down again, causing countless accidental injuries to themselves.
Seeing that his brothers were getting fewer and fewer, and everyone's will to fight was gradually disappearing, Zhang Hu's eyes were full of anxiety.
