Chapter 420
kill!
Hearing the order of Yuan Shao's general attack, the infantry battalion quickly arrived at the checkpoint with all kinds of equipment, and under the cover of the two battalions of Shesheng Longbow, began to attack the city.

"The enemy is coming up, ready to roll stones and beat trees."

Gao Shun dropped the shield and ordered his men to deploy their defenses.

It has to be said that his former enemy commander is still very competent.

On the one hand, Gao Shun commanded the sword and shield fighters and heavy infantry to occupy a powerful position, and on the other hand, he let the crossbowmen hiding in the bunker come out to shoot and kill the enemy troops below the city.

However, the crossbows of the Yunzhou Army were no match for the official army, and they were quickly suppressed.

attack!
The infantry lieutenant drew out his long sword, commanded the vanguard to set up the ladder, and began a fierce siege battle.

Rolling Stones Leigi is ready!

Gao Shun waved the command flag, and the auxiliary soldiers braved the rain of arrows to send the rolling stone and wood to the top of the city.

Ahhhhh!
Countless boulders fell on the heads of the officers and soldiers.

The siege battle is at its most intense at this moment.

The distance from the foot of the city to the city wall is a road of death for the siege party.

The victors all climbed up on countless corpses.

Although the officers and soldiers are well-equipped and have strong combat effectiveness, they still have to use their own flesh and blood to fight against the rolling stones and trees on the top of the city.

The officers and soldiers wanted to climb up, but the Yunzhou army refused to let it go, and the two sides started a contest in this short period of time.

In just a quarter of an hour, the city wall was filled with corpses again.

The crossbowmen at the top of the city have been suppressed, and occasionally those who show up will be shot and killed by the longbows of the officers and soldiers.

They can only stop the attack of the official army with the rolling stone and wood in their hands.

But although these things have amazing lethality, their efficiency is not high, and gradually they cannot prevent the enemy from climbing up.

Go!

The officers and soldiers under the city finally rushed to the top of the city. Holding a knife in his left hand and a shield in his right, Bao Xin rushed to the top of the city with the only remaining Taishan soldiers around him.

In the previous battle, all of his five thousand soldiers were killed or injured, and even his younger brother Bao Zhong died at the hands of Zhou Cang. He hated the Yunzhou Army to the bone.

Now with the help of the Northern Army, Bao Xin climbed to the top of the city in one go.

"Form the formation and destroy the enemy!"

Gao Shun drew out his long saber and commanded the soldiers around him to charge towards the top of the city.

At this time, the rain of arrows from both the official army and the Yunzhou army stopped.Because the vanguard troops of both sides have been mixed together, firing bows and crossbows will only hurt one's own people.

Although Bao Xin's attack was sharp, he was blocked by the Yunzhou infantry at the top of the city, who were ready to attack.

The two sides fought fiercely together.

……

The Yunzhou Army is over!
Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh.

Once the enemy attacked the top of the city, the long-range attack of the defenders stopped immediately, and then only hand-to-hand combat could be carried out.

In this way, the defender's advantage is no longer there.

Lu Bu was also a little surprised. After fighting for a long time, the mysterious and frightening weapon of the Yunzhou Army did not appear. Could it be that it has been used up in Wen County?
There is also this possibility. After all, the Yunzhou army came to the capital all the way, so they wouldn't bring many things with them.

but……

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment.

Some weird!
The Yunzhou Army will never have only this strength.

What exactly do they want to do?
……

it is good!
Yuan Shao patted his thigh with a smile on his face.

Attacking the top of the city means that the siege battle is approaching the middle stage. As long as you hold the top of the city, your side will be able to continuously send troops.

Cao Cao didn't expect it to be so easy, and he was a little puzzled why the Yunzhou Army didn't use those secret weapons.

Is it exhausted?
"The two battalions of Changshui Shesheng followed up and covered the infantry battalion above the city!"

Yuan Shao ordered again.

Hearing Yuan Shao's order, Cao Cao hastily stopped him and said, "You must not do it, General. The Changshui and Shesheng Battalions are farther than normal bows and crossbows, so we can hit them, but they cannot hit us. If you advance forward, you must be within the range of the opponent. Be careful of the weapons of the Yunzhou Army. Besides, the next battle is the infantry, and the bow and crossbow are useless."

He is still more cautious.

"Meng De doesn't need to talk too much!"

Yuan Shao looked at him displeased.

"You're trying to destroy your own prestige by arranging others' ambition. If Guo Jia really has that kind of weapon, why doesn't he use it? Besides, the general got the news that when the Yunzhou Army came to Luoyang, it once fought a battle with the Bingzhou Army in Wen County. Maybe that battle has already been used up."

Ignore Cao Cao's words now and direct the army forward.

After receiving the order, Captain Changshui and Captain Shesheng commanded their men to push forward.

The closer the range, the greater the power of their crossbows.

very good!

Seeing that the arrow array of the officers and soldiers had finally moved forward, Yu Jin finally relaxed.

The arrow formations of the officers and soldiers are really powerful, with a long range and great lethality, and they have been wandering on the edge of the range of the artillery.

If you use artillery as soon as you come up, although it can also cause damage to the arrow formations of the officers and soldiers, most of them still have a chance to escape.

In order to completely annihilate the two major arms of Changshui and Shesheng, Yu Jin kept holding back until the opponent entered the best range, and then let the artillery set up their positions.

"The artillery is ready!"

Following his order, the artillerymen ran out of the bunker one after another and set up the catapult cart.

When the war started, they had been in the bunker and suffered no losses.

Soon, the artillerymen took up their positions.

They were already a little impatient.

Yu Jin raised his right hand, his eyes fixed on the advancing steps of the officers and soldiers below the city.

Close, close again.

When the officers and soldiers entered the best range and were about to take up their positions, Yu Jin waved his hand violently.

Artillery, fire!
Whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of gun carriages on the top of the city roared one after another, and countless burning shells whizzed towards the arrow formation of the officers and soldiers.

God horse stuff?

The officers and soldiers in charge of guarding Changshui Camp and Shesheng Battalion were stunned. This was the first time they had seen such a thing, but they subconsciously raised their shields.

"Can't stop, run!"

Cao Cao of the Chinese army suddenly changed his expression. He had already recognized that this was the mysterious weapon that ordered him to return home in a big defeat in Wuji County.

what?
Yuan Shao also looked at these earthen jars that covered the sky and the sun in surprise.

"Quickly Mingjin, that thing cannot be resisted by humans!"

Cao Cao roared.

By the time Yuan Shao reacted, it was already too late.

The first round of shells had already exploded on the heads of the two battalions of officers and soldiers, and the sky was full of fire that enveloped nearly ten thousand people.

It's an incendiary bomb.

Ahhhhh!
The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and immediately fell into the fire.

Whoosh whoosh!
The second round of crocks also flew in.

This time it was filled with kerosene, and it didn't need to be ignited, and it burned immediately when it fell to the ground.

Created to intensify the fire, this shell was clumsy but effective.

After the second round of firing, the entire officer and army arrow array was caught in a raging fire.
