A small city blocked the rebel front.

One night, a group of carpenters with no experience built siege equipment for the first time. Two hundred warriors who also had no siege experience trained overnight until the east was white.

Suddenly I looked up and saw the sky was getting bright.

Li Mengxi threw away the seventh torch he had exchanged overnight and wiped the sweat from his head tiredly.

"Xuan Degong, stop!" Li Mengxi shouted to Liu Bei who was leading people to practice not far away.

Liu Bei heard Li Mengxi's shout, stopped the drill, and trotted over.

"Meng Xi, why did you stop?"

"It's almost dawn!" Li Mengxi pointed at the sky.

"It's time to upgrade the crew and make food. Let the siege team finish their meal and rest up before attacking the city tomorrow." Li Mengxi suggested.

Liu Bei nodded and agreed with what Li Mengxi said.

Liu Bei ordered the cooks in the baggage team to cook quickly. They poured yellow millet into the earthenware jar for free. One pour was half the earthenware jar, and then salt. A small handful was put in. On weekdays, it was half a jar.

The centurion’s ten-day supply of salt.

People who don’t work don’t know how important salt is to maintaining physical strength.

While waiting for the meal, the siege team sat on the ground to rest, and some fell asleep soon after.

The same thing happened to Li Mengxi. Not long after he sat down, his head was pounding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Liu Bei, who was resting cross-legged at the side, looked distressed and amused at the same time. He wanted to wake Li Mengxi up, but also wanted him to sleep a little longer. He was extremely torn.

Li Mengxi's head was slumped, and his body suddenly fell backwards. Li Mengxi was so shocked that he lost sleep.

Feeling a strong hand dragging his back to prevent him from falling, Li Mengxi rubbed his cheek and smiled at Liu Bei, "I almost fell asleep."

"Xi'er, leave the siege to me. You can rest assured and go to sleep. I guarantee that when you wake up, our army will have a great victory." Liu Bei smiled and persuaded Li Mengxi to rest.

Li Mengxi shook his head and refused, "I have to see for myself the siege tomorrow. I haven't seen the siege yet!" Li Mengxi was determined not to miss such an important event as the siege.

In the past, all I watched were TV series, and most of them were second-rate TV series, which were not sophisticated at all. But now, what I watched was a real ancient siege battle.

Li Mengxi said that he insisted on watching the siege. The reason was that he had also seen the siege. Liu Bei was amused by his reason.

I didn't attack the city, but I helped all night long, improved the siege equipment, and came up with many siege tactics. This is really, I don't know how to put it into words.

In about two minutes, the porridge was ready.

Li Mengxi and the siege team ate two bowls of thick and salty millet porridge. The hot porridge went into his stomach, and his stomach was warm and comfortable.

After working hard all night, the village heroes took advantage of the bed and slept on the floor after eating and drinking enough to regain their strength.

Li Mengxi was also very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He looked up at the sky. On the horizon, a very bright star became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.

That should be the morning star, Li Mengxi thought to himself.

Just after dawn, Guan Yu came with his people.

Li Mengxi wanted crossbowmen and a team of forty-one crossbowmen, and Guan Yu brought all of them to Li Mengxi.

"General Guan, thank you." Li Mengxi didn't even remember it. He sat on the ground and waved, which was regarded as saying hello to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu also stared at the city and stayed up all night, but his energy was different from ordinary people. Even though he didn't sleep all night, he still looked in high spirits.

Guan Yu came and wanted to discuss the siege with Li Mengxi, but when he saw that Li Mengxi was too weak, Guan Yu couldn't bother him anymore.

"Xi'er, brother, how are you practicing your siege skills?" Guan Yu only asked.

"Everything is ready." Li Mengxi yawned hard and replied weakly.

Good to have everything ready.

——

The sun has risen, but the siege team is sleeping and not moving. The sun is high, but the siege team is still sleeping.

When the time came, it was about half past one.

At about four o'clock in the morning, that is, ten o'clock in the morning, it was neither cold nor hot, and the sun was not dazzling. It was just right.

Li Mengxi stood up with a roar, "The time is up, get up!"

Li Mengxi shouted loudly.

As soon as Li Mengxi shouted, the siege team who were sleeping on the floor all woke up with a roar. They hurriedly put on their shoes and armor, picked up the weapons at hand and got up.

Seventeen siege teams were formed in an instant.

"Let's go!" Li Mengxi said in a deep voice.

Looking at the two hundred siege teams that had been training all night, Li Mengxi seemed to be looking at his own soldiers.

Wen'an County has two east and west gates, so the direction of siege is at one of the east and west gates.

After a while, seventeen siege echelons and siege spine teams, plus more than 40 people from the crossbow battalion, a total of 242 people, arrived at the west gate and stopped a hundred steps away from the city wall.

Zhang Fei, who was guarding the west gate, saw people coming from a distance and rode to greet them.

"Big brother! Second brother!"

Zhang Fei greeted Liu Bei and Guan Yu warmly, but ignored Li Mengxi who was standing on Guan Yu's side.

"How can we attack the city without me, Lao Zhang!" Zhang Fei held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. The knife slapped the shield with a snapping sound, "Brother, let me take the lead. Let me kill to the top of the city and keep the yellow turbans that have been killed.

!”

"Very good!" Li Mengxi, who was sitting on the horse, revealed his head from behind Guan Yu. "The three generals are brave and invincible. With the three generals personally attacking the city, our army has no worries about winning."

Zhang Fei smiled at Li Mengxi.

"The 10th siege team is small, Yide, you go to the 10th team to take care of them." Liu Xuande thought for a while and arranged where Zhang Fei should go.

Zhang Fei happily accepted the order.

"Which one is the tenth team?" Zhang Fei looked around and roared.

"Third General, here!" The tenth team was waving.

Seeing Zhang Fei entering the team, Li Mengxi looked at the enemy city from a distance, and saw a small square city sitting on the horizon. The city walls were short, long and low. On the top of the city, flags were displayed randomly and there were crowds of people.

At this time, Dali attacked the city.

Seventeen siege echelons, including a siege column facing the city gate, were arranged seventy steps away from the front of the city.

Guan Yu could see clearly from his horse that seventeen siege teams were arranged neatly, and the shields covering the siege ladders looked like tortoise shells.

Looking at the columns behind the siege ladder, we can see that the people in the two columns are aligned with each other, standing neatly and motionless.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The strange thing is that every siege knife and shield soldier has two shields in his hand.

I guess there must be a reason.

The formation of the siege team was neat and orderly that was rarely seen since Guan Yu recruited his own troops.

No matter how powerful the siege team is, at least on the surface, it looks pretty decent.

Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at the short city in the distance again, and with one move of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Guan Yu ordered in a deep voice, "All troops, listen to the order, kill!"

"Kill!" After Guan Yu's military order, there was a clatter. The sword-and-shield soldier holding two shields raised his shield in his right hand to cover the ladder above his head. The shield in his other hand instantly turned sideways. The siege ladder in front was like a tiger coming out of its hole, followed by the sword.

A column of shield soldiers followed closely.

The siege team went from being quiet and motionless to suddenly becoming extremely noisy. It was as powerful as a tiger. The contrast was so strong that Guan Yu's eyes froze.

Seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps...

The siege teams attacked quickly. Arrows were raining down on the city. Arrows with tail feathers and crossbow arrows without tail feathers. Raindrops fell around the siege echelons like raindrops. The arrows stuck in the soil, puff puff.

Sound.

From time to time, arrows hit the siege ladder and were successfully blocked by the shield covering the ladder.

The tortoise-shell siege ladder tactic invented by Li Mengxi was somewhat useful.

In the blink of an eye, the siege ladder had rushed within thirty steps in front of the city, and the arrow rain became more intensive.

Finally, casualties appeared. A country hero was shot in the ankle by a stray arrow, and the arrow passed through his wrist. The country hero screamed and fell to the ground on the spot.

Although the people in the same team were worried, they could not slow down and stop.

The injured Xiang Yong hugged his feet and howled for a long time, and then finally thought of the tactics he practiced last night - if he was hit by a stray arrow during the charge, he was allowed to retreat.

If you are unable to move, put the shield on your back and crawl back by yourself.

In order to survive, human willpower is strong.

Xiang Yong, who was unlucky enough to be shot through the ankle by a stray arrow, endured the pain and rolled over on the spot.

The sword and shield soldiers are equipped with two shields to use when charging. When you get to the city, just throw away the other shield.

Now, these two shields are put to use.

Xiang Yong, who couldn't walk, fumbled and picked up a shield that fell on the ground, threw the shield on his back, then held the small shield in his left hand to protect his head, and used his right elbow as a hand to crawl back bit by bit.

climb.

When the first casualty appeared, Guan Yu noticed it.
