Chapter 339 Between Offense and Defense
Chapter 339 Between Off and Defensive
Jizhou Wei County, Yecheng.
After Liu Sha's two generals led their troops into the Yuan army, they beheaded countless people and returned victoriously, smashing the Yuan army's spirit and causing the Yuan army's morale to plummet. Even though they set up a camp outside the four gates of Yecheng and surrounded Yecheng, the Yuan soldiers looked at the solid walls of Yecheng, and they still looked frightened, and they did not dare to look at the intimidating King Wuwei.
Yuan Shao was even more angry when he received the reward. He immediately ordered Gao Lan to lead his army to attack the city, and to seize Ye City, and sacrifice to his two sons with Liu Sha's head.
What worries him the most was that Liu Sha would tie up his wife and young son to force him to retreat. If he didn't obey at that time, he would be afraid that even his only son would be killed on the spot. Fortunately, this did not happen. When he was reported, his family was broken, and he had already left the city overnight under the protection of Zhang He and fled to the north. He immediately felt relieved and had no worries and could attack the city with all his strength.
Under Ye City, Yuan soldiers rushed to the city wall like a tide. After being flooded by stone casters and arrow rain, they carried the ladder to the city, roaring the ladder onto the city wall, and climbed up frantically.
The soldiers on the city kept shooting arrows, smashing down the rolling wooden stones, pouring boiling water and oil under the city, using a fork rod to overturn the ladder, and letting go of Yuan Bing rush up.
Even the newly recruited soldiers were constantly doing the same job, and they quickly became proficient, like those veterans. Those who did not have time to be proficient have already been killed and injured under Yuan Jun's desperate attack, and died.
On the city wall, King Wuwei personally came to the front line, wielding the God of War Sword, and quickly killed Yuan Bing who had climbed up the city. His two disciples were not willing to be outdone. They waved their swords and led their personal soldiers to kill the enemy soldiers attacking from the city like chopping melons and vegetables. Dian Wei was even more excited to kill, wielding a heavy iron halberd, smashing Yuan Bing who had climbed up one by one, and smashing his brains into pieces, killing him so loudly that he shouted loudly, and was filled with joy.
The four of them guarded the four cities and guarded the entire city like an iron barrel. When Yuan Bing saw the four people standing on the city and letting go of the fierce power of killing his companions, they all trembled and sweated like rain. Although the supervisory team waved their swords and guns and forced them to attack the city like wolves and tigers, their morale was still low. When they encountered resistance, they fled desperately and did not dare to fight against the four ogres.
Tens of thousands of Yuan troops attacked the city and fought bloodily for a whole day. They still did not shake the solid foundation of the defender, leaving only a large number of corpses, which accumulated under the city, exuding a strong smell of blood.
The city guarded the city, but because King Wuwei personally visited the front line to defend the city, the three subordinates were extremely brave, which greatly boosted morale. Even the new recruits calmed down and tried hard to defend the city under the leadership of the four.
Zhen Yan and the great gentry organized the people in the city to transport the city guarding supplies and made hot meals to the city to deliver them to the city, making the morale of the soldiers guarding the city even more high. They were all excited while eating and talking loudly about what kind of rewards they would get if they defeated the enemy and the benefits of tax exemption that their relatives could get.
Fengshagen sent people to spread news around the city, saying that the auxiliary general Sun Jian would soon lead a large army to attack Yuan Shao, just as soon as the Jiangdong Army arrived, the enemy collapsed and was about to come.
During the battle, Yuan Bing's relatives came to the city from time to time to cry, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender to King Wuwei, so as not to die in the battlefield. King Wuwei was kind and generous. If anyone surrendered, he would not harm them. They could reunite their family, so that they would not be separated in this chaotic world, and they would be separated from their families and separated from death.
At night, I heard the relatives of my comrades in the city crying loudly, which made all Yuan Bing in the distance depressed. Some even recognized their relatives from the voices of crying in the city and cried bitterly. Even though they were punished by the military discipline team responsible for the inspection, they still couldn't help crying.
Gao Lan saw that the morale of the army was low and he was sad and depressed. He was only glad that his family was not in Yecheng, otherwise, he would be afraid that he would be sad and painful. When he was in power, there was no need to mention conquering the city.
On the second day, Yuan Shao wore a helmet and armor, and went to the front line with Gao Lan to urge the soldiers to attack the city.
Looking at the enemy general who was holding a broad sword on the top of the city, Yuan Shao's eyes were covered in blood, and his teeth were almost broken with hatred. He waved his sword with one hand, shouted loudly, led his army to attack and kill, and rushed straight towards Yecheng.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Lan hurriedly stepped forward to hold Yuan Shao's advice, and shouted loudly: "All the families of you, the small and small, are in the city. If you cannot break through the city, you are afraid that you will be killed by the bandits! Why not go forward together and break through the city to save your family's life?"
Yuan Shao's subordinates, seeing that the Grand Sima was leading the army to attack the city, could not help but feel his bravery. After hearing Gao Lan's words, they all gathered up their courage, shouted wildly, and rushed towards the solid city wall with a ladder.
The rain of arrows flew all over the sky, among the large group of people running towards the city, and people were caught in arrows every moment. The rest of the people were still shouting wildly, strode and rushed to the city, boarding a ladder, using hands and feet, and quickly climbing up the city. Then, the huge rocks pushed down from their heads were rolled into the wood, smashing their brains to pieces and dying.
This attack was even more tragic. Just to take Liu Sha’s life in the riot army, Yuan Shao simply gave up the other three gates and attacked the west gate of Yecheng. Tens of thousands of people rushed forward in batches, wielding swords and guns to strike the ancient city, and shouting and killing sounds shook the earth.
In the middle of the battlefield, Fengsha, wearing heavy armor, waved his broadsword and flew out one by one the attacking enemies one by one, with murderous auras, which was shocking. The personal soldiers around him also worked hard to help him defend the city. No enemy soldiers near his wall could climb the city alive.
After a long battle, Yuan Bing gradually realized that the part close to King Wuwei was originally a dead place in the land of death, and if they wanted to get closer, they would seek death. From then on, the Yuan Bing attacked that part gradually became rare, and they would rather squeeze in other city walls than come here.
Feng Sha, covered in blood, waved his sword and took big steps on the city wall, rushing over one by one to help his subordinates defend the city and relieve their pressure. Whenever King Wuwei strode with his bloody sword, the soldiers cheered and excitedly waved swords and guns to kill the enemy soldiers who came up to the city. He just wanted to show his face in front of the king, and then he would also have the capital to boast about his neighbors and companions.
Yuan Bing, who was attacking, was shocked. He looked at the tall man covered in blood wielding his sword and slashed at him. He didn't even have the idea of avoiding him, so he was chopped down from the city with a sword, sprinkling blood on the city wall. The enemy soldiers behind him were extremely frightened, and he climbed up the ladder several times slower, and he did not dare to face the brave and famous King Wuwei head-on.
When Yuan Shao saw him in the back, he was so angry that his whole body trembled and shouted loudly: "Liu Sha thief, everyone will be punished! I have passed on my order. If anyone kills Liu Sha, he can reward tens of millions of dollars and be named tens of thousands of households! His family will enjoy wealth and honor together!"
With the heavy reward, the Yuan army's offensive suddenly became fierce. Countless Yuan soldiers who dreamed of climbing to the sky raised their swords and rushed to the city, rushing to climb up the cloud ladder, climbing up quickly, and rushing towards the burly general covered in blood.
The personal soldiers around Fengsha struggled to push the fork rod, and the long ladder filled with people fell heavily to the ground like a long string of candied haws, causing a terrifying howl.
The pressure on this city wall increased dramatically. On each wall, there were ladders on it. The dense Yuan soldiers squeezed on the ladder and quickly climbed to the top of the city. Behind, Yuan Jun archers also mobilized them, took the bow and took the arrows, and shot the rain of arrows at the top of the city.
Feng Sha shouted loudly and ordered the archers of this side to suppress the enemy. While putting away his sword, he danced the Fangtian Painted Gaulle, and pressed it on the ladder outside the city wall. With a strong push, the ladder filled with people fell out like a flying, hitting Yuan Jun's head on the ground. Amid the tragic roar, countless Yuan soldiers broke their legs, broke their necks, or even even hit their brains.
Fengsha strode through the city wall. When Fang Tian’s painting halberd was swinging, every time he pushed hard, a cloud ladder was pushed down the city and fell into dust. At his big walk, Yuan Jun fell down one after another, killing and injured countless times. A large number of cloud ladders were broken. Yuan Jun, who was attacking from behind, lifted the cloud ladders left by his companions, but was shocked to find that the cloud ladders had been dropped so much that they could not be used.
Seeing this, Gao Lan hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take cloud ladders to attack the city. Yuan's army rushed towards the city wall like huge waves, and then smashed into pieces on the city wall like huge waves, but it was still rushing continuously, causing a large number of casualties on both sides.
The battle was extremely fierce. Feng Sha didn't even have time to rest. It was his subordinates who advised him to go down to eat and drink water. After the meal, he still brought his halberd to the city and led his soldiers to defend the city.
The commander came to the front line in person, and the soldiers were willing to serve themselves. Although the enemy's offensive was fierce, the defenders refused to retreat. They fought until it was late. The two sides stopped their troops and stopped their troops and rested.
During the battle on this day, the attacking side lost tens of thousands of people, and the defenders also went to 20,000 to 30,000 people. The defenders on the west city wall were all injured. That night, Fengsha mobilized troops and transferred several other guards on the city wall to help, while the tired soldiers on the west city wall were mostly transferred to the other three walls to help the original soldiers there defend the city.
