After Guo Wei returned with Shi Hongzhao, he heard the war drums of the Yellow Turban Army before he could rest for a while.
"Military doctor, military doctor, please treat General Shi Hongzhao quickly." Due to the urgency of the matter, Guo Wei could not take care of Shi Hongzhao now, so he handed him over to the military doctor, hoping that the military doctor could save him.
However, Guo Wei still asked Hua Sha to take care of Shi Hongzhao here, so that he could feel more at ease.
At this moment, under the walls of Xingyang City, 10,000 Yellow Turban troops under the command of Shi Dakai poured into Xingyang City like a tide. Their shouts of killing were deafening, and they directly erupted with a momentum that could only be possessed by an ordinary army of 30,000 people.
Although Guo Wei hates Shi Dakai, he has to admire his ability. This must be a tough battle.
Shi Dakai's 10,000-strong army included five trebuchets, as well as siege weapons such as rams and wells.
"Trebuchet, attack the city!" Under the cover of the army, the trebuchet troops quickly arrived two hundred steps away from Xingyang City. At this time, Shi Dakai launched the trebuchet attack order.
Following Shi Dakai's order, the catapult troops of the Yellow Turban Army continued to throw huge rocks and hit the wall of Xingyang City in front. The stones on the wall instantly cracked and dust flew up.
"Trebuchets from other cities will be temporarily transferred to the south gate, and they will be smashed against the trebuchets of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city!" Seeing the trebuchets of the Yellow Turban Army plundering the city, Guo Wei suddenly said angrily.

Since the development of Liangshan, Guo Wei has naturally attracted many masters. Although there are no god-level people among them, there are not a few super-class masters.
Since Shi Dakai attacked the south gate this time, Guo Wei did not ask the other gate guards to lead their troops to support him because he did not want to expose the strength of the defenders for the time being.
Therefore, Guo Wei only relied on the defenders of the South City Gate to calmly respond to Shi Dakai's offensive, and commanded his own trebuchet troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army's trebuchets.
As the commander-in-chief of Xingyang City, Guo Wei took the lead. He was seen holding a spear and charging left and right on the city wall. As long as the Yellow Turban Army tried to climb the city wall, he would repel them one by one.
"Brothers, fight to the death. Behind us is Chenggao and Hulao Pass. As long as we can defend here, Luoyang will be safe. For our homeland, kill!" Guo Wei shouted loudly on the city wall to boost the morale of his own army.
and fighting spirit.
As a military advisor, Zhu Wu took on his own responsibilities, personally dispatched troops, and continuously sent the rolling logs, stones, hot oil and other defensive materials accumulated by the Han army over the past few days to the city wall.
Zhu Wu's eyes were firm at this time, because he only had one belief in his heart, which was to wait for reinforcements from the Bingzhou Army, and if they wanted to do this, they must not allow the enemy to break the city.
As for Wang Lin, he kept running back and forth on the south gate wall. Wherever there was a gap, he immediately led reinforcements there. He was seen waving the spear in his hand, looking extremely brave.
As the battle raged on, the trebuchets of the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army basically suffered losses from each other.
Shi Dakai saw that storming the city wall had no effect, so he changed his offensive strategy and ordered Ao Shen to lead the army and concentrate his forces to attack the south gate of Xingyang City.
"The last general takes orders."
After receiving Shi Dakai's order, Ao Shen immediately led a group of elite soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the south gate.
In front of the south gate, the Yellow Turban Army had already set up the battering ram and began to move towards the city gate. Naturally, Shi Dakai's actions could not escape Guo Wei's eyes.
After seeing Shi Dakai's operation, he immediately understood what he was thinking, so he ordered the archers and slingers to greet the Yellow Turbans who were attacking the city gate.
Arrows rained down like rain for a while, and rocks kept falling towards the city wall. Some of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were killed by arrows, and some were stoned to death. But even so, they still pushed the siege ram forward without fear.
.
As long as someone dies in battle, someone will immediately replace him.
In this way, after paying a certain price, the Yellow Turban Army finally pushed the battering ram down in front of the south gate, hitting the city gate again and again.
It's a pity that Guo Wei had anticipated such a situation beforehand and used huge rocks and wooden piles to block the city gate before the war started.
Therefore, even if the Yellow Turban Army hits the south gate of the city gate, no matter how loud the impact is, there is no way to break the city gate open.
Whether on the city wall or in front of the city gate, the fighting became increasingly fierce, and the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties.
At this moment, Shi Dakai also saw the strong fighting spirit of the Han army. After the battle lasted for more than three hours, the Yellow Turban Army left more than 3,000 corpses and left under Shi Dakai's order to retreat.
Although the number of casualties of the Yellow Turban Army reached 40%, there were also many Han troops, because most of the Han troops commanded by Guo Wei were county soldiers and county soldiers from various places. Their combat power was not even comparable to that of the Han troops who had already passed
Big training yellow scarf.
In particular, these Yellow Turban troops have basically seen blood, while most of Guo Wei's soldiers have not.
Therefore, during this period, in addition to strengthening their training, Guo Wei wanted to use this opportunity to let them experience the growth of blood and fire.
"General Wang Lin, please count the current casualties of our army." Guo Wei said to Wang Lin beside him.
"General, take your orders!" Wang Lin bowed and said, and then counted the losses.
After a while, Wang Lin came over and reported to Guo Wei the casualties of his own army.
"General Qi, in this battle, our South Gate defenders killed more than 900 people and injured more than 1,300 people," Wang Lin said.
"Our own side suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the enemy suffered roughly more than 4,000 casualties. The battle to defend the city actually resulted in a one to two victory. It's really hard to describe these armies."
Although Guo Wei had already guessed that this battle would have such a result, it was still a little hard to accept.
