Chapter 559 (1/2)

Although the attack and defense of Jinyang city is very tragic, but compared with the offensive and defensive war of Yecheng, it is a little inferior.

Yecheng, the largest city to the north of the Yellow River, is located in the center of Jizhou. Liu Ye has nearly 50000 troops under his command, but he still has some difficulties in encircling Yecheng.

The sky was clear and cloudless. Yecheng and more than 40000 Xiliang troops around were exposed to the blue sky. The golden light from the sky, shining on the face of countless Liangzhou army, armor, and weapons, reflected together.

Outside the three walls of Yecheng, more than 40000 Liangzhou troops formed a square array for every 10000 people, which happened to be the four ten thousand people's formation. Standing majestically in the wilderness, however, there was no movement, as if they were a group of bronze men. Only a few hundred banners among the four formations fluttered in the wind, which added a trace of vitality to the Liangzhou military array.

Above the head of Yecheng, yuan shaomei locked his head and watched the Liangzhou military formation outside the city. Although the Liangzhou army did not attack, did not beat drums and trumpets, it was so motionless, but there was a sense of momentum. It was like a tiger in the mountain forest, staring at you closely. It seemed that it was not attacking, but the eyes of choosing people and biting had already locked on you.

”Zhengnan, the Liangzhou army is not good at coming.”

”That's right. It looks like it's going to be a tough fight.” The match also looked dignified, but firmly said: ”please rest assured that the Lord will spare no effort to defend Yecheng.”

Yuan Shao nodded at ease: ”there is Zhengnan, I have no worries.”

”The enemy is going to attack the city. It's dangerous above the city. Please go down!” Suddenly, the judge frowned and saw that the Liangzhou military array outside the city had some action, so he quickly told yuan shaodao.

”Well, Zhengnan, it's up to you.” Yuan Shao solemnly ordered the trial, then turned around and walked down the city under the protection of hundreds of armed Euphorbia soldiers.

The four Liangzhou army's ten thousand people's formation seemed like a hesitant giant suddenly made a move. It moved forward slowly and ran to more than a hundred paces in front of Yecheng. Seeing the action of Liangzhou army, the Jizhou army on the head of the city was suddenly nervous, holding the crossbow and shield in his hand.

Liu Ye stands on top of his horse and stands out among the tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops.

”Fill the river!”

Hearing Liu Ye's order, tens of thousands of Liangzhou army officers and men couldn't help but rush towards Yecheng with huge wood and sandbags in their hands. Rushed to the moat nearby, Liangzhou army immediately threw out the debris in his hands and threw it into the moat.

In order to facilitate defense, the ancient large-scale cities were destroyed around the city walls. A ditch was dug out and poured into the river water, which naturally formed a moat. The word ”city” refers to the city wall, and the ”pool” is the moat.

Once the city is attacked by the enemy, the gate of the city will be closed and the suspension bridge will be closed. As a result, there is no hole to enter the whole city. Then the attacking party must fill up and level the moat before continuing to attack.

Tens of thousands of Liangzhou army holding giant wood, sandbags into the moat, the moat water level suddenly rose a large section.

Matching is a frown: not good! If the enemy had filled the moat, wouldn't it be bad?

”Archer, Archer! Don't let the enemy fill up the moat. ”

At the order of the trial and match, the archers of Jizhou army on the head of the city immediately launched thousands of arrows, and thousands of arrows suddenly fell from the sky and aimed at the Liangzhou army which was filling the river.

Good luck! However, the Liangzhou army was not reckless. A line of soldiers went to fill the river, while the rest of the soldiers put their shields on their heads and hit them with arrows on top of their heads.

Match face cold: ”put rolling wood, stone!”
