Beast King Three Kingdoms

() (Continued three times today, asking for favorites, recommendations, and rewards, not even ten fans, how desolate!)

The next day, Yuan Shu led his army to the city of Xuyi.

Yuan Shu ordered Xu Chu, Chen Ji, and Mao Jie to lead [-] troops each to the west, south, and north gates. Yuan Shu himself led [-] troops in front of the east gate, and a total of [-] troops surrounded Xuyi City.

In front of the east gate, Yuan Shu rode his horse out and shouted, "I have no enmity with Tao Qian, why did you offend me in Jiangdong?"

On the top of the city, Chen Deng looked at Yuan Shuying in front of the battle, if he was not hostile, Chen Deng couldn't help admiring.

"Yuan Gonglu! As a famous family, you don't want to repay the emperor's kindness, but wantonly conquer and plunder the city. My lord, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, will you sit back and watch your wolfish ambition?" Chen Deng shouted.

"Hmph! I was entrusted by the Son of Heaven, and I am in charge of Yangzhou, and Jiangdong is also under my jurisdiction. Where do you start by attacking the city?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at Chen Deng on the top of the city.

Chen Deng was not afraid, and retorted loudly: "The thieves in Xiliang control the imperial court and act perversely. No one in the world knows it? How can such a sacred order be taken seriously?"

"Oh?" Yuan Shu sneered, "If that's the case! Why didn't your lord send troops to Chang'an to rescue the Son of Heaven, instead of violating our borders? It's clearly selfish. How dare you say that I'm attacking the city?"

"This..." Chen Deng rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "Huh! Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and there are many bandits and troubles, and the roads are difficult to walk. However, you, Yuan Gonglu, occupy Nanyang County, and Chang'an is only a Wuguan away. Yao, but watched the emperor suffer, how dare you call yourself a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes, and cursed in his heart: "This bastard is really good at talking!"

"Whether you're loyal or not, we'll see in the future! It's useless to say more, I'll see you on the battlefield!" Yuan Shu was at a loss for words, and after uttering a harsh word, he pulled his horse back to the formation.

"The catapult is out!" Yuan Shu held back his stomach, returned to the formation and immediately ordered to attack the city.

Rumble!

The ground trembled unceasingly, a dozen huge catapults, the bodies of which were wrapped in thick iron sheets, like giant beasts, were slowly pushed to the front of the formation, and thousands of shields surrounded the catapults to guard them.

In the city, because the catapult appeared before the battle for the first time, Chen Deng didn't know, so he looked at these huge steel 'monsters' curiously, and guessed what Yuan Shu meant.

"Attack!" Yuan Shu got off his horse and came to the high platform. Seeing that the catapult had been loaded, hundreds of soldiers were panting and pulling the thick rope, and immediately ordered to attack.

As soon as the command flag was waved, Yuan Jun's soldiers let go one after another.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Countless boulders as big as millstones flew into the air and smashed towards the top of the city.

Looking at the boulder getting closer, Chen Deng had lost the ability to think, his mouth was wide open, and his face was dull.

"My lord, be careful!" Seeing that the boulder was about to fall, all the soldiers hurriedly carried Chen Deng back into the tower to escape, regardless of etiquette.

boom! boom! boom!

Dust was flying everywhere, the tall city walls seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, and countless soldiers were smashed into meatloaf on the spot.

"what!"

……

"what!"

……

……

In the city, there were screams one after another, and it was desolate.

"Ugh! Ugh!..." Seeing such a bloody scene, some soldiers who had never been on the battlefield couldn't bear it immediately, their stomachs rolled, and they bent over to vomit.

Under the city, Yuan Shu saw the scene on the city from a distance, smiled slightly, and was satisfied with the power of the catapult in his heart.

Feng Ji and Xun You on the side were dumbfounded. Although they knew about the existence of the catapult, they had predicted its power because of Yuan Shu's admiration.

I thought I had overestimated the power of the catapult, but now it seems that I have underestimated it.

"All the troops listen to the order! Siege the city!" Seeing that the catapults had suppressed the Xuzhou defenders, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

Boom!dong dong!dong dong dong!

The war drums were beating, and the army rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

"kill!"

……

"Kill!"

……

……

At the top of the city, Chen Deng had already recovered. Seeing Yuan Jun attacking the city, he hurriedly ordered all the troops to be on guard.

After the shock of the catapult just now, the defenders were heartbroken at this moment, dazed and at a loss, the hand that drew the bow trembled slightly, and the 'light' arrow stone seemed to become extremely heavy, and it was impossible to lift it.

Chen Deng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

However, Chen Deng is a man of resourcefulness after all, and after a little thought, he has a countermeasure.

"Look at the robes around you. They died so miserable. If Yuan Jun breaks through the city, your fate will never be better than theirs!" Chen Deng roared angrily.

After hearing this, all the soldiers followed Chen Deng's direction and saw red and white things everywhere, bloody everywhere, it was so horrible that they all sank slightly in their hearts.

On the side, Chen Deng's back was already drenched with sweat. What he did was a dangerous plan. If everyone was frightened by the bloody scene, everything would be over. Otherwise, the morale of the army would be aroused, and a powerful battle force would erupt. .

"This is a big gamble...you must not lose!" Chen Deng gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd.

Do not erupt in silence, die in silence.

Finally, someone broke out.

"Ah!" a soldier yelled: "A stab with the head stretched out, and a stab with the head back is also a stab with the head, I will fight!"

"Roar!..." One sentence instantly aroused the blood of everyone, and they screamed loudly.

Seeing this, Chen Deng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Yuan Shu's army had rushed to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder, and began to climb to the top of the city.

Seeing this, Xuzhou's army had red eyes and gritted their teeth to fight back.

Seeing countless crossbow arrows and arrows rolling down like heavy rain, Yuan Jun's momentum was suddenly frustrated.

Seeing it from the high platform, Yuan Shu saw a cold light in his eyes, and immediately sent an order: "Adjust the distance of the catapult, and hit me hard!"

The catapult started again, and countless boulders fell on the top of Xuyi city, but this time the boulders were much farther away than before. The soldiers in front of the city wall were fine, but the soldiers carrying arrows behind them suffered.

The boulder fell down, blood flew everywhere, and the tragedy was indescribable.

However, all the troops defending the city ignored this completely, and the arrows still poured down the city continuously.

Although Yuan Shu's army is strong in battle, it is still a bit overwhelming to meet this group of desperate 'lunatics'.

Countless soldiers stepped forward and climbed up, but they couldn't climb to the top of the city. Even if they were lucky enough to attack, they would be killed and retreated by the defenders within a moment.

For a while, the two sides became stalemate, and there was a lot of shouting and killing in the field.

The battle continued from noon to dusk.

Seeing that the army could not reach the top of the city, Yuan Shu frowned tightly.

"Damn it! I didn't expect the Xuzhou army to be so powerful. It's simply beyond imagination." Yuan Shu didn't know yet that the Xuzhou army was determined to die because of the catapult, otherwise the outcome of the battle would be really unpredictable.

If Yuan Shu knew that he was self-defeating, he wondered if he would regret it.

"Ah!" With a sigh, Yuan Shu ordered someone to send an order: "Mingjin withdraws troops!" His soldiers are much more expensive than Xuzhou sergeants, so naturally they don't want to spend like this.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The sound of ringing gold came, and Yuan Shu's army was seen retreating like a tide, orderly in front and back, and there was no chaos.

Seeing this, Chen Deng sighed, "Yuan Shu is really extraordinary, the army is very organized!"

So I gave up the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the situation to pursue.

Under the city, Yuan Shu took a deep look at Xuyi City, and then ordered the army to return to the camp.

On the way back, Yuan Shu was unhappy.

Yuan Shu has been invincible and invincible since he asked for Dong, and wherever he goes, he looks down on the wind. He didn't expect that today he has nothing to do with the small city of Xuyi, so he is naturally in a bad mood.

"Then Chen Deng is not an idler, and it is reasonable to have such a result." Yuan Shu comforted himself.

After fighting for half a day, the army was already exhausted, so Yuan Shu ordered the generals to order food and rest.

Subsequently, the results of this battle have also been counted.

In just half a day, [-] soldiers and horses were lost, and Yuan Shu hated his teeth itchingly. You must know that the conquest of Jiangdong, which is as big as Nuoda, cost nothing more than that. How could such a result be acceptable to Yuan Shu?

"Chen Deng! Chen Yuanlong! Well done! Then I break Xuzhou, and your Chen family is waiting to be wiped out!" Yuan Shu's eyes flickered fiercely, and his whole body exuded an astonishing hostility.

Originally, Yuan Shu wanted to recruit Chen Deng after breaking the city. After all, both the father and son of the Chen family were talented. Although Yuan Shu issued an order to seek talents, the officials under his rule were still a little nervous, and their desire for talented people remained undiminished.

But now Yuan Shu has dismissed this idea, and even has murderous intentions towards the Chen family.

"The fact that the Chen family is not destroyed is not enough to comfort these five thousand souls!" Yuan Shu thought to himself.

After reading the battle report patiently, Yuan Shu felt a little better. The Xuzhou army was not much better than them, and even suffered more serious damage.

With Chen Deng sitting at the east gate, Yuan Shu didn't get any advantage, but the other three guards couldn't stop Yuan Shu's army, and Mao Jie almost broke through the north gate.

Calculated, the losses of both sides were equal.

"The consolation prize is also a prize, it's better than nothing."

Putting his thoughts away, Yuan Shu summoned Xun You and Feng Ji to discuss how to break the city.
