Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 174 stalemate
buzz~
In the sky, countless flashing arrows shot up into the sky, and then the dull sound of the arrows hitting the shield continued continuously.

But Xu You, who saw this scene on the top of the city in the distance, shrank his pupils and showed a shocked expression on his face. The flaming arrows inserted into the wooden catapult did not have any effect, what's more It went out.

The soldiers guarding the catapult saw the arrows filled with mocking sneers on their faces, and the wooden catapult was already soaked with water.

crunch ~ crunch ~
The sound of the winch's continuous tightening sounded, and the soldiers behind the shield swiftly picked up the huge stone and put it in place, and suddenly there was a loud shout.

put!
As soon as the order was given, the rumbling catapult made a roar in an instant, and then huge boulders shot up into the sky, and the soldiers on the top of the city in the distance were even more panicked when they saw it.

rumbling~
Countless huge boulders continued to smash on the top of the city. Although there were boards and other shelters, for the heavy boulders, more of them were useless, and they were broken at the touch of a touch.

Ah~ The sound of wailing echoed on the top of the city, and a pair of panicked eyes flickered. The catapult was the biggest blow to morale.

rumbling~
The endless catapults were launched continuously, and the huge boulders in the sky were constantly falling from the sky with the scattered gravel. For a while, the counterattacks of the archers on the top of the city were interrupted.

The sound of wailing, screaming and fear kept ringing in my ears. A famous soldier hid behind the battlements in panic, and what was even more frightened, he didn't even dare to show his head.

"My lord, the enemy's courage has been broken, and the last general asks to be the vanguard to attack the city!" Dian Wei, who was under the commander's banner, excitedly clasped his fists and shouted at Lu Bu after seeing the distressed appearance of the enemy on the top of the city.

But Lu Bu shook his head faintly after seeing it, and instead shouted to the other generals in a deep voice: "The whole army is on alert, and the catapults are attacking continuously."

rumbling~
Huge boulders and gravels covering the sky and the sun kept falling from the sky, as if a stone fish had been dropped, the sound of clattering kept ringing, and the gravel kept splashing on the top of the city.

Countless soldiers were scratched by the sputtered gravel, and for a while there were bloody figures everywhere, morale plummeted, and panic and panic continued to spread.

The catapult fired for more than half an hour, and finally the rain of stones in the sky gradually weakened. The soldiers huddled behind the battlements waited for a long time but did not see the rain of stones, and finally someone showed his head in fear.

Ding Ding Ding ~
At this time, there was a clear and crisp sound of gold ringing from the Bingzhou Army, and there were countless blood-stained heads on the top of the city, and pairs of black eyes looked at the black army in the distance in fear.

Rumbling~ The sound of heavy footsteps echoed, and the black army in the distance was getting farther and farther away, especially after the big flag with the word "Lv" in the sky gradually disappeared from sight, there was an inexplicable sense of relief on the top of the city.

At the city gate tower, Xu You stared at the black torrent in the distance with an ugly expression, his hands were tightly clenched, and his eyes were full of ferocious bloodshot eyes.

"What a Lu Bu!"

Bang~ Yan Liang, whose face was darkened, slammed his fists on the battlements fiercely, "Damn it, if the Bingzhou Army continues like this, it won't take half a month for our army's morale to be low. Once the enemy attacks the city, I'm afraid it will collapse without a fight. .”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness in each other's expressions. Finally, Xu You sighed deeply and said, "How is General Gao's injury?"

After hearing this, Yan Liang's face became more gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Although General Gao Lan is fine, he injured his muscles and bones during the retreat half a month ago. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed within a month or two."

The bad news came one after another. Even if Xu You had the wisdom of heaven and man, there was nothing he could do at this time. The helpless two could only cheer up the whole army to prepare for another battle in the future.

In the following days, the Bingzhou army came out almost every two or three days, adopting the same posture, with cavalry on both wings, the catapult advancing, and then endless stone rain slanted down.

But Xu You and Yan Liang's faces on the top of the wall became more and more ugly and gloomy. Not only was the morale of their army low, but what shocked them more was that there were more and more enemy catapults.

It can be seen that the Bingzhou army was not idle during this period of time, and rushed to make catapults, and launched a rain of stones every two or three days, and did not withdraw until the wooden carts full of stones were launched.

Half a month later, Yuan Jun in Maocheng sighed deeply one by one, and there was no will to fight. As long as the Bingzhou Army came, they had already formed the habit of hiding behind the battlements, and they even habitually turned their heads. Dare to take a risk.

Although there were not too many casualties, the blow to morale was a remarkable achievement, and something that worried Yan Liangxuyou even more happened.

One after another urgent distress letters were sent, and the fifteen counties under Julu County fell and disappeared one after another.

Zhao Guo ruled five major counties, and Handan had already been captured by Lu Bu, and the remaining four counties also sent urgent distress letters.

Under the night, in the tower above the city of Maocheng, dimly lit candles flickered, Yan Liang sat at the head with a livid face, and Xu You below was also staring at the map with an ugly expression on his face.

"Military division, Julu will be captured by the Bingzhou army sooner or later if it continues like this."

But Xu You looked a little calm, pointing to several counties of Zhao State, and said solemnly: "It is inevitable that Julu will not last long, but I am more worried about these two counties of Zhao State."

Following Xu You's finger pointing, Yan Liang looked at it, his eyes were startled for an instant, and then a creepy look suddenly rose in his heart.

Cold sweat kept falling from his forehead, and he blurted out with a look of shock: "Military Master, if these two counties are captured by the Bingzhou Army, we will be the turkey in the urn."

Hmph! Seeing Yan Liang with a terrified expression, Xu You snorted dissatisfiedly, how could he be so reckless in the way of generals.

"If it weren't for our cavalry to accompany the lord to fight Gongsun Zan, I only need to have two or three thousand elite cavalry in my hands to go out of the city and intercept his food road. Han Fu's [-] army is completely nothing to worry about."

Hateful!Resentful and unwilling, Xu You slammed the table hard, looking at the pattern on the map with a grim face, the perfect pattern was wrong and lost all games.

He is not afraid of the [-] Bingzhou Army, nor is he afraid of hundreds of catapults, but the [-] elite cavalry in Lu Bu's hands makes him full of fear.

They haven't done anything for half a month, and a small group of elites went out of the city to intercept the opponent's grain road. After all, Han Fu led an army of [-] troops to circle the city, and all the grain and grass needed to be supplied from the rear.

But that cavalry is too hateful, [-] of the [-] iron cavalry roam around Maocheng day and night, and they can know immediately when there is any disturbance.

Staring at the pattern on the map, it was a big chess game full of loopholes, but this five thousand wolves became a cruising dragon, able to slaughter any tentacles at any time, making him helpless.

　The recommendation ticket has been reduced by more than half, woohoo~ I ask for recommendation~ I ask for all kinds of support from brothers
