Yu He watched the night fall and clenched his fist directly at Yu Du.
"Well, tell Li Yong to lead the troops to quietly attack at night. Zhang Lin to lead the troops to dig a road. I want to create a central flower for Yuan Shu."
"promise,"
"promise."
The two generals stepped out from the crowd and saluted Yu Du with clenched fists.
"Okay, the rest of you have prepared your troops for war. I'm going to treat you all to a drink in Anyang City tonight."
"promise."
Ten thousand Yellow Turban troops took advantage of nightfall and the lack of light in the sky to sneak quietly to the foot of Anyang City.
"who?"
Just when they were about to throw the shuttle, several torches were thrown down from the top of the city. Under the light of the fire, all the yellow scarves who were attacking at night were exposed in front of the defenders.
"Fire the arrow."
With an order, countless arrows fell from the sky, covering all the Yellow Turban Army.
"Shuttle."
Despite the rain of arrows on the top of the city, the Yellow Turban Army continued to attack tenaciously. The flying shuttles with cold light were directly nailed to the top of the city. The Yellow Turban Army held their steel knives in their teeth and struggled to climb up.
"The axe-hand, cut the rope."
It's still the same routine as during the day, the axemen are dispatched to attack the shuttle.
"Archers suppress."
Li Yong felt the pressure at the top of the city and knew that the enemy had been prepared, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the attack.
The archers of the Yellow Turban Army still looked the same, and they could not do any harm to Yuan Shu's army on the top of the city.
"Keep shooting arrows."
The rain of arrows on the top of the city did not stop at all, and the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army were piled up below the city, getting higher and higher.
"Wang Bing, Lu Yang, you two will immediately lead your troops to support Li Yong."
"promise,"
"promise,"
Wang Bing and Lu Yang suffered a lot of casualties during the day, but now Yu Du couldn't care less. He wanted to make the battle more intense. Only in this way could he cover up his intention to dig tunnels to attack the city.
The two Yellow Turban soldiers joined together and rushed towards Anyang City with a loud roar. Since the enemy now knew about it, there was no need to cover up anything.
"Break stones and roll logs."
"Gold juice."
All kinds of defensive equipment came out from the top of the city. Stones fell like rain, rolling logs formed mountains, and pots of boiling gold juice poured down from the sky like a vast ocean.
The Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties and still failed to attack the city wall.
"Zhou Yang, keep rushing."
"promise."
Zhou Yang, who was conducting a feint attack during the day, was also sent up by Yu Du. Now, of his 70,000 soldiers and horses, apart from those of the young commander, only his 20,000 elite soldiers of his headquarters were left unmoved.
Forty thousand Yellow Turbans surrounded the city of Anyang. Everywhere you looked there were Yellow Turbans, fighting was going on everywhere, and everything was like purgatory.
There was a fierce battle on the city wall, and there was also a force of 3,000 soldiers and horses below the city wall, holding shovels and working hard to dig tunnels.
They are Yu Du's biggest reliance, and the reason why Yu Du's elite soldiers did not move is actually because they were preparing for the tunnel.
Three thousand people dug three tunnels at the same time. The tunnels moved very quickly. Within an hour, they had almost reached the city wall.
"Sir, there is movement, there is movement."
The soldiers guarding the side of the big urn heard the sound coming from the big urn and immediately shouted loudly.
When Yuan Yu heard the soldiers calling, he immediately ran to the edge of the big urn.
Through the big urn, I could only hear the sound of digging earth coming from inside, which proved Tian Feng's guess.
As expected, the Yellow Turban Army had a double attack of reality and reality, with siege as the supplement and tunnels as the main focus. They wanted the center to bloom and cooperated with the outside to capture Anyang in one fell swoop.
"Assemble five hundred crossbowmen and surround this place."
"promise."
In order to deal with the enemy's tactics, Dianwei deliberately left three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and among these three thousand soldiers and horses there were 1,500 crossbowmen specifically for shooting the enemies.
"Sir, there are sounds here too."
Another soldier shouted loudly to Yuan Yu.
"There are some here too."
Reports came from one place after another. Counting the first big urn, now all three tunnels of the Yellow Turban Army have been discovered by Yuan Shu's department.
"Deploy five hundred crossbowmen each. I want the enemy to never return."
"promise."
One thousand and five hundred crossbowmen were in position. In front of them was a circle with a radius of 100 meters. Although there was a large urn that could tell the direction of the enemy's tunnel, the specific location was still unknown.
A shovel suddenly stuck out of the ground. Although it was dark at night, there was still someone with sharp eyes.
"It's moving, it's moving."
"Silence, concealment."
The military commander in charge quickly silenced him and pointed with an arrow. Five hundred crossbowmen turned together and aimed in the direction where the military commander's sword was pointing.
"Xixissuosuo."
The sound of digging became louder and louder, more and more shovels stuck out of the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone.
A head suddenly popped out of the hole. He glanced at it to confirm that he was in Anyang City, and then immediately retracted his head.
"Sir, the passage has been dug, and Anyang City is unprepared."
Zhang Lin, who was in charge of digging the tunnel, quickly ran to Yu Du and reported the good news to him.
"Okay, Li Ding, you lead 10,000 of our elite troops through the tunnel and seize the city gate."
"promise."
Yu Du's elite soldiers finally moved. Ten thousand Yellow Turban troops armed with steel knives and round shields were divided into three armies. They got into the tunnels and launched an attack on Anyang City.
Listening to the footsteps coming from the tunnel, the crossbowmen who Yuan Yu didn't know emerged from their hiding places one after another, waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army with their bows and arrows bent.
"Whoosh,"
A figure suddenly jumped out of the tunnel, then a second, and a third
"Fire the arrow."
Five hundred crossbow arrows shot out. The Yellow Turban Army, which had just jumped out of the cave, was shot into hedgehogs by each crossbow arrow before they could react.
The predecessors died, but the descendants continued to rush forward one after another. Although they were wearing leather armor and round shields, they were still useless in the face of strong bows and crossbows. After a while, every tunnel was filled with corpses of the Yellow Turban Army.
.
"Commander, Li Ding came to plead guilty. He killed and injured more than 3,000 people, but he still couldn't get out."
Li Ding returned from the passage and came to Yu Du's body to plead guilty to him.
"Sifang, what should we do now?"
Yu Du looked at Yu He, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Commander, I have no choice. Throughout the ages, there have been only a few ways to siege and capture a city. The most effective of them is to build siege equipment and forcefully attack the city.
But now we don’t have the time or materials to prepare, and the tunnel attack has been discovered by the enemy, so we can only rest today and seize the time to escape south tomorrow.”
Yu He had no choice. If there were no pursuing troops behind them and plenty of time, they could completely encircle them without attacking and wait for the enemy to get into chaos. But now there were 30,000 elite troops chasing after them behind them, and there was really no time to waste.
"Humph, you mediocre man, Yuan Shu is here in Anyang City. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can I give it up so easily? As long as I can capture him, I will be the only one in the world."
