Chapter 393 (1/2)
Liu Ye had long followed Jia Xu's advice and cut down all the trees around suanzao city and put them into the city to make rolling logs and arrows. Therefore, the surrounding area of Ziziphus jujuba city is empty.
Therefore, although Xu he ordered the Yellow turban bandits to cut down trees and make ladders and other siege equipment, the number of ladders was still small, so the Yellow turban thieves who attacked the city were not dense.
The cloud ladder was built on the wall of sour jujube. The eager yellow scarf thief immediately used both hands and feet and climbed up towards the wall.
”Rolling wood, stone!”
Seeing that the enemy troops began to attack the city, the Han Army immediately lifted the rolling wood that had just been made a few days ago from behind. Two soldiers moved it together and threw it at the yellow scarf thief who was attacking the city.
Bang!
When the leather shield on the yellow scarf thief's hand felt heavy, he was immediately hit by a force of gravity and fell down. His fellow soldiers were also smashed down by him.
Zhou Su frowned: ”Archer, aim at the enemy and shoot.”
Seeing this, the archer of the Yellow turban thief immediately aimed his arrow at the Han army above the city head. The Han Army that appeared suddenly was immediately targeted by the intensive arrows, causing many casualties.
With the suppression of the archers' firepower, the Han army suffered a lot of casualties. The Yellow turban bandits who attacked the city suffered a great deal of pressure, so they scrambled upward.
The yellow scarf robber's Trooper had just boarded the city and was preparing to show his skills. Suddenly, a row of gaps were opened in the shield wall, and a group of more than 100 warriors suddenly rushed out from behind the shield wall.
All dressed in iron armour and armed with knives and axes, these warriors are the elite soldiers of Liu Ye's army.
”Drive down all the Yellow turban thieves in the city!”
More than a hundred warriors rushed out and swung their swords and axes at the yellow scarf thieves who boarded the city. The iron armour of these warriors could be said to be invulnerable. They didn't need to defend at all. They only needed to concentrate on the attack and were extremely brave. They immediately killed the yellow scarf thieves who rushed up.
However, more and more yellow turban thieves came up on the ladder. Gradually, the warriors of the Han army fell into a fierce battle and began to suffer casualties.
The total number of Han troops in the city is only 16000, and some of them will be left as reserve troops. Only 3000 people can be assigned to the four walls, which can be said to be in short supply.
However, the number of yellow turban thieves is 130000, which is seven or eight times that of the Han Army in the city. The number of yellow turban thieves assigned to each side of the city wall has exceeded the total number of Han army. It can be said that the Han army faces great pressure to defend the city.
However, Liu Ye's face is not worried at all. It seems that he is not worried.
When Xu he saw the fierce battle between the two armies on the top of the city, the Han army was obviously caught in a bitter battle, and immediately he couldn't help laughing.
”In three days, we will capture the city of sour jujube.”
And at this time, the East suddenly came a burst of horn sound.
With a frown on his brow, Xu he looked to the East and saw a black line emerging from the horizon, followed by his figure, which turned out to be thousands of cavalry under the banner of Pang and horse.
Ma Chao and pound led six thousand cavalry from afar. The horses' hooves hit the earth, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
