Chapter 392 (2/2)
Xu he frowned: ”what's the matter?”
”Xu Shuai...” the guard swallowed his saliva and nervously said, ”it's Sima Shuai's head.”
And above the city, Liu Ye's voice is far away.
”Xu He, the traitor, you took the starving people from the thieves to attack the Han state. I would have advised you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise Sima Ji would be your end!”
Xu he was furious: ”Liu Yuqing an dare to cheat me!”
”When attacking the city, those who capture and kill Liu Ye will replace Sima Ji as the commander-in-chief of the army, and they will be rewarded with 20 beauties and 300 stones of grain and grass!”
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. Hearing Xu he's reward, more than 100000 yellow scarves suddenly burst into cheers and cheers, all in high spirits.
”Commander in chief, which side of the wall will our army not attack?” Zhou Su asked.
Encircling three places and one is the most basic principle in the art of war. However, Xu He sneered: ”sour jujube is not a small town, but also need to surround the three que one, to the general siege, but also day and night attack the city!”
Zhou Su had the heart to remonstrate, but seeing Xu he's face full of anger, he thought he would go back to persuade him again, so he rushed to the front line to supervise the war.
”Dig the trench and surround the city on all sides!”
One hundred thousand soldiers dug a deep trench one mile outside the city to prevent the Han army from breaking through.
After the trench was dug out, outside the four walls, there were a yellow turban bandit's army array, each with a number of 20000 or so, more than the number of defenders in the city.
Seeing the Yellow turban bandits encircling the four gates, Liu Ye immediately exclaimed, ”the enemy forces are besieged on all sides. Our army must fight to the death, and I command to block all the gates!”Xu he wanted to block the Han Army in the city, while Liu Ye directly ordered the four city gates to be blocked. Seeing the Yellow turban thieves surrounded, the Han Army in the city understood that this time it was impossible to kill them. Instead, they were determined to fight with each other.
The Yellow turban bandit formation was divided into three parts. Thousands of archers marched to the place 100 steps away from the city gate. In the first row were swordsmen and shields to protect the archers.
And the other two parts are infantry, one holding shield and one holding knife, and the other part is as a supervision team, standing still.
”Shoot the arrow!”
Under the city head, the archers of the Yellow turban bandits set up their bows and set up their arrows. Aiming at the top of the city, the Han Army, facing the torrential rain of arrows, immediately hid under the low wall, which was immediately covered with arrows.
”Raise the shield, fight back!” Yu Jin yelled
When the Han Army on the top of the city heard Yu Ban's order, a whole row of large shields suddenly stretched out from behind the women's wall and covered the wall. Only the countless arrows of dangdangdang were heard shooting on the shield.
The archers of the Han Army stood up one after another under the cover of the shield and fought back at the archers and soldiers of the Yellow turban thieves under the city head.
The number of yellow turban bandits above the city head is large, and the firepower is dense, but they shoot upward from below the city head. Although the number of Han archers above the city head is small, they are commanding and shooting down the city. Therefore, there is no big difference between the archers of the two armies.
At this time, the troopers of the Yellow turban bandits rushed towards the low wall of Zizyphus jujuba, carrying a temporary made ladder. However, the number of ladders was not large.
