Start with Yan Liang, the Sims of Yuan Shao's youngest son

Chapter 154 Fierce Battle ([-])

Yan Liang asked: "Since it's a crossbow, there must be a crossbow arrow. Where can I find such a long one?"

Yuan Ke smiled slightly, picked up a spear, and put it on the arm of the crossbow.

Hey, neither long nor short is just right!
Yuan Ke put the string on the towing hook, called two strong men, and turned the hinge shaft at the tail of the ballista.As the traction rope continued to circle, the crossbow string gradually tightened until it bent into a full moon.

He slowly turned the ballista and aimed at the general with the most gorgeous armor outside the city.

It was Cao Ren's son, Cao Tai.

He is the eldest son in the family, and he has been spoiled by his father since he was a child, so he has to use the best for food and clothing.

For this expedition, he deliberately wore a golden armor, which shone brightly in the sun.

"Xun Yu!" Yuan Ke shouted, "I'll give you a big gift right now!"

He squeezed the trigger fiercely, and with the loud roar of tigers and dragons, the ten-foot-long spear shot out with a "buzz".

The spear didn't look abnormal at first, but as it flew, a weak airflow came out from the spearhead.

This airflow winds around the long pole, and when it reaches the end of the pole, it seems to have turned into a fierce gust of wind, hitting Cao Tai's chest with lightning speed!
Boom!

Where the spear hit the ground, billows of smoke and dust rose up, lingering for a long time.Amid the deafening noise, the guards around Cao Tai were frightened out of their wits and fell to the ground!
As the dust settled, the tragic situation of Cao Tai's last moments before his death was exposed to everyone: the spear pierced his chest, and the huge impact knocked him several feet away from his horse, and even the gilded iron on his chest The pieces of armor are all torn apart.He was pinned in mid-air by the spearhead like this, unable to move.

Cao Tai's mouth and nose kept spurting blood, which made his howling sound even more terrifying:
"Fucking Yuan's family - I want to kill everyone in the city - ahhh!"

After an unknown amount of time, his yelling and cursing weakened, and went to rest along with his heartbeat.

And his death also declared Xun Yu's defeat in the second game.
-
The death of Cao Tai dealt a far-reaching blow to Xun Yu.

In addition to the negative impact on his reputation brought about by being unable to attack for a long time, the more direct impact was that Cao Ren was devastated by this. He vomited two liters of blood and fell ill. The position led the troops to attack the city.

Unlike Cao Ren, who has a reckless personality, Xu Huang is insidious and tricky when thinking about problems, often embarrassing Xun Yu.

"General Xu," Xun Yu suggested, "as the siege goes on, people in the city will gradually fall into despair. We can send envoys to the city, promising officials and wealthy people that they will not be harmed after the city is broken. That's it. Once it comes, there will definitely be someone willing to help us and act as an internal response in the city, and things will be easy to handle."

"The method sounds like a good one." Xu Huang smiled sinisterly, "But with your Xun Wenruo's ability, we lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but we failed to set foot on the top of the city. I heard that you had previously served for the Yuan family. I wonder if there is any mystery here?"

These words were basically tantamount to directly accusing him of cheating, and Xun Yu's face was a little embarrassed: "Why did General Xu say such a thing! How can I, Xun Yu, be a treacherous person?"

Xu Huang said coldly: "What I mean is, you'd better think of something that can be used, and don't always think about playing tricks like attacking your heart and responding internally. I'm not Cao Ren, and I'm not as easy to fool as he is!"

"Okay." Xun Yu sighed helplessly, took out a sketch from his arms and shook it, "This is the trebuchet I designed, which can throw huge boulders weighing dozens of kilograms. Hurry up!"

In the following day, the camp where Xu Huang's army was stationed was bustling with activity.

Yuan Ke saw the logs and boulders several feet long being continuously transported into the barracks from a distance, and he knew what they wanted to do in his heart.This is a blatant conspiracy, but he can do nothing but order people to gather tung oil, cotton wool and other inflammable materials in the city for emergency needs.

Early the next morning, Xu Huang made a comeback with his achievements of "working behind closed doors"!
Having learned the lesson of the failure of Cao Renrenhai's tactics, he endured his temper and decided to use his own black technology to deal a blow to Xu Ducheng's dimensionality reduction.

As soon as Yuan Ke boarded the tower, he saw four catapults lined up about a mile away.Under the cover of layers of shields, Xu Huang shouted towards the city: "Soldiers and civilians in the city, listen! If you are sensible, open the city gate and surrender quickly, or when the city is destroyed, even a dog will not be able to live. !"

"Dream!" Yuan Ke never had any illusions about the enemy, he shouted, "I, Yuan Ke, was ordered to hunt for thieves, how can I be coerced by you and other rebels?"

Xu Huang ordered with a ferocious face: "Fat stone!"

Hearing the military order, the soldiers moved their hands one after another, filling the throwing pockets with stone bullets.A hundred shirtless and strong men in front of the car yelled and pulled down the rope together, and stones of all sizes smashed into the city wall and the city like a cannonball.

In the bursts of dust, the city wall was smashed into some serious holes, and some flying stones fell into the city, smashing down the houses.Although Yuan Ke had organized the people to evade in advance, most of them moved in from outside the city, and most of the sites in the city were occupied by the imperial palace and high-ranking official residences. The places they could live in were very limited, resulting in constant casualties.

Yuan Ke was cornered.While flashing his yellow axe, he forced the guards to open the gate of the palace, organized the people to enter the palace to escape, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers on standby in the city to lead the people to paste mud and sand to repair the holes in the city wall.

But at this moment, Jiang Qi's messenger rushed to report that the south gate defenders suffered heavy casualties, and more and more enemy soldiers had already climbed up the south city wall!

Yuan Ke turned pale with shock. He didn't bother to ask the reason, and personally led [-] heavy infantry to Nancheng to check the situation.

He didn't understand Xun Yu's trick until he arrived in Nancheng.It turned out that when Xun Yu placed the location of the catapults, he had a lot of brains. He placed the two catapults directly facing the northeast and southeast corners of the city wall, and specially asked the soldiers to choose large stones for use. .

After the stone bombs were fired, most of the stones from the other two vehicles hit the city wall or the city.But because the two vehicles were facing the two unobstructed south and north city walls, almost every stone fired could run over the defenders standing on the top of the city wall.Although the defenders were on guard, they were unable to avoid the continuous crushing of rolling stones, and there were countless wounded!
Xu Huang also seized this opportunity and sent light infantry to bypass the more severely damaged south gate and attack the city quickly.

Seeing the Cao soldiers outside the city stepping on the mountain of corpses that were almost as high as the city wall and continuously rushing up the southern city wall like hungry wolves, they fought with the soldiers, slaves and prisoners who were constantly reinforcing below the city, gradually gaining momentum. With the upper hand, Yuan Ke couldn't help but despair.

Are you going to lose?
