As they get closer and closer to the Puyang city wall, the Yanzhou army will certainly not just rush over and wait for death.

"Bed crossbow...Bed crossbow...Shoot!...Counterattack!" With a few sharp roars, the bed crossbow that rushed into the city wall about 400 steps also began to fight back to the top of the city.

Rows of thick crossbow arrows flew into the air with sharp roars, "Crank..." Countless crossbow arrows as thick as peacocks were nailed straight into the city bricks, brick chips splashed everywhere, and the bricks were several inches and feet. The powerful impact force made the crossbow arrows buzz and shaking constantly. More crossbow arrows flew to the city with the hideous roar of death. Those soft and elastic curtains, leather curtains, grating fences, and bamboo fences could block the casting stones, but they could not block the iron crossbow at all. Sharp crossbow arrows "Swish and swish" broke through these hanging mesh cloths, tearing them to pieces, and then continued to fly without diminishing speed, piercing them into the bodies of the soldiers guarding the city, drilling a terrifying and transparent blood hole in them, and even strung them into a gourd string and nailed them to the top of the city, and blood splashed everywhere.

Suddenly, screams were continuous on the top of the city, one after another, and began to become a little confused, and the rain of arrows shot into the air became much thinner.

Opportunities must not be missed!

"Shoot!...Shoot!... Counterattack!" Countless infantry generals from Yanzhou Army under the city roared.

Tens of thousands of archers emerged from under the platoon, braved the rain of arrows, bent their bows and shot towards the top of the city.

"Brush..."

In an instant, like dark clouds, like a flock of birds, the dark rain of arrows poured down at the head of Puyang City. Countless bows and arrows were ineffective and fell to the ground before reaching the city wall; countless bows and arrows "crashed" to the wall brick battlements, or drilled into bricks and stones or fell to the ground; countless bows and arrows flew into the city towers, and plunged deeply into the ground, and the ground and the group cards of the soldiers guarding the city; countless bows and arrows were also pierced into the armor of the soldiers, on their heads, hands, and bodies. "Ah..." Countless wails and screams suddenly sounded, and all the eyes were the bright and dazzling blood and soldiers struggling and rolling around the ground.

The archer and crossbowmen on the Wanglou who spent the power to move over the old man also leaned out and pulled the bow and crossbow to shoot at the city wall. Since the archer was more than ten meters high, the archer was even higher, and the archer either shot flat or condescendingly, with a higher hit rate, resulting in even more casualties.

"Suppress...suppress...shot..." Da Qiao waved the flag and stood high on the city wall, facing the rain of arrows, shouting anxiously, his originally clear voice was a little hoarse.

"General Qiao..." Sun Erniang raised the group card and protected Da Qiao with one hand. "Bang..." Two sounds, two arrow feathers led the sound of breaking the wind and pierced the group card, making three points, and more sharp sounds of breaking the wind and coming in endlessly.

There was no place to let her stand again. Sun Erniang continued to shout without thinking: "Be careful!", hugging Da Qiao in her arms, then twisted her waist, and pushed it to the back of the battlement next to her as fast as possible. The two had just stood still, and several thick crossbow arrows were already coming sharply, one was nailed to the battlement, and brick chips were splashed; there were two powerful crossbow arrows that ignored the defense, "Peng" smashed the giant shield, and several guards behind her were immediately pierced through their bodies, with a big hole in their chest, and blood was blurred, and they were immediately killed.

Da Qiao's pretty face was snow-white, nodded at Sun Erniang, smiled gratefully, but bit her teeth, and still ignored her, continued to wave the flag and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, shoot... defend Puyang!..."

"Defend Puyang..." The soldiers roared, with red eyes, and were bristling with arrows in the crossbow forest, bent their bows and bows, archery, archery, and arrows. Wherever they had to aim, and where they had to array. They only knew to keep bent their bows and arrows, and kept shooting out the bows and arrows, one or two, five or ten, until their hands were bleeding and cracked and weak, and shot them until they were killed by the arrow.

Both sides were red in their eyes and fell into a fierce battle, throwing stones, crossbows, bows and arrows, which made the entire Puyang battlefield more than ten miles into a Shura hell. The blood mud that was rotten into sauce, the broken torso and limbs, and the blood holes that penetrated the front and back were like a corpse of a hedgehog pierced the arrows, the white mud and red-green intestines, and the warm blood flowing, gathered into a stream and gathered into a river. Roars, impact, stones, rain of arrows, screams, and howls, and the smell of gunpowder, the smell of blood, the smell of sweat, the smell of shit, the smell of urine, everything, making this battlefield crazy, terrifying, and disgusting.

"It's... it's... it's... it's... it's... it's... it's a river."

A deafening cheer suddenly came from the city.

However, it turned out that the Yanzhou infantry had already rushed to the moat under Puyang City. Puyang is the capital of Dongjun County, a big city. Like all big cities, it took a lot of effort to build the city. The city was tall and sturdy. There was a urn city outside the city gate, an enemy tower was built on the city, a stone-cattered crossbow was installed in the city, and a moat several meters wide outside the city, which was connected and guarded layer by layer.

"Fill the river...Fill the river..." Yanzhou soldiers cheered loudly, threw the straw bags, sacks of earth and stones on their backs into the river, and then retreated quickly. This is the primary task of the infantry. As long as they throw the earth and stones into the river, they can complete the task and retreat once and stay away from death. How can they not be excited?

The straw bags and sandbags were constantly thrown into the river; the carts and wooden donkeys also arrived, and they simply threw the carts and earth and rocks into the river; and later they simply threw the dead bodies into the river.

The river surface was constantly eroded, the continuous blow, the continuous blood, and the continuous running, and the river surface was constantly eroded and filled. After a few hours, dozens of roads about a few feet or tens of feet wide and long were directly connected to the city of Puyang.

"Lord! The moat is about to be filled!" A Yanzhou Sima was covered in bloody armor, but with excitement, and rode his horse towards the central army, roaring loudly while running, reporting to Liu Dai.

Liu Dai's anxious and panicked expression immediately relaxed. He gently stroked his gray beard, laughed loudly, and shouted: "Break through Puyang, it's time to date!"

With a "kneel", he pulled out his sword and raised Puyang City from afar. He was satisfied and shouted loudly: "Those who pass on our military orders, who will first climb Puyang City will be the first meritorious person, reward a thousand gold and be awarded the title of general!"

Sima was even more excited and grinned. The blood-stained face looked extremely ferocious. He clasped his fists heavily and roared: "Abide by the order! I will go back and pass the order immediately!"

Immediately shook the reins, turned the horse's head, and was about to gallop into the formation.

"Let's wait!"

However, a person flashed behind Liu Dai. The man was tall and long, with a yellow face and long beard, and a chain of leaf armor. He was the general Mao Hui.

Mao Hui looked solemn and worried, he clasped his fists at Liu Dai, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I wonder if your lord has calculated that how many soldiers have been injured and killed in our army's attack today?"

"How many?" Liu Dai was interrupted by Mao Hui, and he was quite unhappy and said coldly.

"The last general estimates that our army has suffered more than 5,000 casualties, not enough! Lord Governor, our army has suffered such heavy casualties, and the soldiers have been filling the river for several hours, and they are exhausted. It is not advisable to attack again today! The last general begs to withdraw his troops and let the soldiers recuperate for a day and attack again tomorrow!"

"This!..." Liu Dai hesitated.

"Lord, the moat has been filled, without any obstacles. If you need to rest, it is the right time to launch a large-scale attack tomorrow and go down one battle!" Mao Hui then explained and spoke sincerely.

Sudden.

"Hmph... Since the moat has been filled today, why not make a move today and wait for tomorrow? General Mao Hui is afraid that it is not jealous of the reward!" A sneer, a sinister voice sounded, and it was Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei who was standing next to Liu Dai. He said maliciously.

"You!..." Mao Hui was furious. He pointed his arms straight at Bao Xin and cursed: "You despicable thief! I, Mao Hui, have a loyal and righteous life, not as dirty as you! They are all intrigues and crooked thoughts!... Lord! Please give me a clever look!"

"Haha... Then you can attack the city today, why stop it? I'm afraid that there will be warriors who will win merits and award merits, so I'll surpass the general! Haha," Bao Xin continued to sneer and said, "Since you are loyal and righteous, then follow the general's order."

"Okay, okay..." Liu Dai had a gloomy face and impatiently interrupted the two of them. He looked back at the counselor behind him and asked, "What should you do if you want to tell me?"

Wang Gong heard the question and immediately stepped forward and asked the infantry Sima: "At the front, our army suffered heavy casualties?"

"Well... the enemy's resistance was tenacious, the crossbow threw stones fiercely, and our army suffered serious casualties." Sima hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Wang Gong turned around immediately, bowed slightly to Liu Dai, and said, "Lord, it turns out that he has suffered heavy casualties. As General Mao said, it is difficult to penetrate Lu Gao at the end of his strength. Our army withdraws and rests. It is a major countermeasure to attack again tomorrow."

"That's how..." Liu Dai was moved and was about to order Sima.

Xu Si also pulled the horse back and walked slowly towards the Sima of the Infantry Army, and said with a smile: "General, I'll ask you something? There are heavy casualties, so why do the soldiers retreat?"

"Have you retreated?" Sima of the infantry army looked at Xu Si strangely, feeling quite angry. Without orders, how can the soldiers under my command dare to retreat? There is hope for life when attacking. If you retreat without orders, you will die. The countless supervisory teams behind you are not decorations. In troubled times, people's lives are careless, and in the eyes of the supervisory team, people's lives are even worse.

He felt angry and replied rudely, and the sound was shocking: "I will never retreat without receiving the orders of the Lord!"

"Okay! Lord..." Xu Si also turned around and bowed slightly to Liu Dai, chuckled and said, "Lord, our army is tenacious and the morale is available, why don't we act together? Go straight to Puyang today? Why do we wait for tomorrow?... The war is delayed, I'm afraid that something will change!..."

"What's right!" Liu Dai praised him and immediately stopped hesitating and shouted: "Attack the city, attack the city quickly! Those who climb Puyang City first will be the first to be the first to reward a thousand gold medals and be awarded the title of general!"

The infantry Sima got the order, shook the reins, grabbed the horse's belly with both legs, and rushed forward and entered the formation to pass the order.
Chapter completed!
