Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 400 Yidao County Falls

Cai Mao and the others returned to Jingzhou, but before they could get out of the shadow of defeat, they were shocked by the sudden news.

"My lord, Wu Shun sent troops?"

Cai Mao had an unbelievable expression on his face, just two months had passed.Don't the soldiers in Yizhou need to be trimmed?
Liu Biao was also very helpless about Wu Shun's sudden dispatch of troops.

"Dongfangqiang dispatched an army of [-] troops from Linyuan to Yidu County, and has already captured two cities. They are attacking Yidao County! We need to send reinforcements immediately. Who would like to go to Yidu County to resist the Wuling army?"

The information Liu Biao got was only from Dongfangqiang, and the Xiliang cavalry currently stationed in Padang has not been exposed yet.

9 people are not very stressful for Jingzhou.It only needs one general to guard it.If the city cannot be defeated, the Wuling army will naturally retreat.

"The end will be willing to go!"

Seeing that the generals present were afraid of Dongfang Qiang and did not dare to fight, Cai Mao stood up.Although he is in command of the navy, it is not a big problem to command the defense of the city.

"My lord, the final general is willing to go with General Cai Mao."

Because Cai Mao was sent to take the opportunity to seize the military power, Zhang Yun went out to fight.With him here, Cai Mao's rights can be slightly restricted.

Seeing that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were willing to go to Yidu County, Liu Biao felt at ease.He was afraid that the people under his command would be scared out of their wits by the Wuling Army.Now it seems that there are still people in Jingzhou who are not afraid of the Wuling army.

"Okay, the two generals send troops quickly, and we must defend Yidu County!"

Liu Biao agreed to allow Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to fight, and then ordered: "Mr. Kuai Yue is responsible for the logistics and supply."

"Subordinates obey!"

The sudden attack of the Wuling army set the whole Jingzhou in motion.That is to say, Jingzhou is rich enough to continue to use troops.The attack on Wuling County two months ago cost Jingzhou a lot of money and food.

The prefect of Yidu County is a literati, and the county lieutenant under him has been shot to death by Shi Zhongyu with an arrow.If it weren't for the fact that there were still many city guards in Yidao County and the private soldiers supported by the family, he would have prepared to open the city and surrender.

The scene of the Wuling army attacking the city was too terrifying.The fireballs were fired continuously, smashing the towers and smashing the battlements.The extremely tragic scene made the city guards terrified.

This is just an appetizer before the siege, and the soldiers of the Wuling Army have not yet approached the city wall.

Outside Yidao County, the generals of the Wuling army surrounded Dongfangqiang, preparing his orders and launching a siege.

From Linyuan to the north, the Wuling army easily captured two small cities, and in front of them was the seat of Yidu County.

"General, how long will the bombardment take?"

Zhao Yun cooperated with Dongfangqiang for the first time, and he didn't know the fighting style of the Suzaku Legion.

"Don't worry, General Zilong! The catapult can hold on."

When attacking a city from the east, we must first finish shooting the stone bullets to minimize the enemy's morale.This can reduce the difficulty of siege and reduce casualties.

"The lord has always taught that when you can strike from a distance, you don't have to worry about melee combat. Catapults bombarded continuously, and the enemy defending the city was passively beaten. It didn't take long for the morale to collapse."

After Wu Shun was brought out, no one refuted Dongfang Qiang.All the generals knew that Wu Shun cherished the lives of soldiers.I would rather spend more equipment than waste a soldier.

"General Dongfang, you said that Yidao County will definitely not be able to defend it, why didn't they open the city and surrender?"

Guan Hai has been struggling with this issue.The two small cities in front were bombarded by catapults for a long time, and they surrendered themselves.Arriving here, the defenders in the city had no tendency to surrender.

Listening to Guan Hai's question, Dongfang Qiang smiled:

"General Guan, do you know what my lord did before?"

"Occupy the mountain and become king!"

Guan Hai didn't even think about it, so he answered casually.

"Yes, Yidao County is where Yidu County is located, and there are many landlord families in the city. It is reasonable not to open the city and surrender."

After Dongfang Qiang explained it like this, Guan Hai understood.

"According to what the general said, if we want to grab territory in the future, we have to fight city by city?"

If the fight continues like this, it will be very stressful. Guan Hai suddenly felt that it was not worthwhile for Wu Shun to offend the gentry.

"What are you afraid of? The Wuling army is going to attack the city, who can defend it? Just blow him to pieces!"

In order to cheer up the generals, Dongfang Qiang was domineering for a while.

After pouring an unknown number of stone bombs, the catapult stopped roaring.Dongfangqiang immediately arranged an attack:

"General Guan Hai!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, with the top shield in front, to cover the archers and the siege soldiers."

"The last general obeys!" Guan Hai followed the order and left.

"General Zhao Yun, General Gan Ning!"

"The end is here!"

Dongfangqiang ordered two more generals.

"The Qilin Legion and the sailors attacked the east and west walls respectively."

"The last will obey!"

"The Wolf Legion, attack from the front!"

"Yes!"

After the arrangement was completed, the battle drums sounded in the Wuling army formation.One by one, the phalanx slowly moved to the designated position.

Jinglan, Chongcheng Hammer was pushed out.The soldiers carried the ladders and waited quietly for the order to charge.

When everything was ready, Dongfang Qiang raised his right hand and swiped down hard.

"Siege!"

"Come on~ kill!"

The morale of the Wuling army was high, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

In Yidao County, the literati prefect was in a hurry.When the Wuling army's catapult was showing its power just now, he ran down.

Now that there is so much movement outside the city, the siege must have begun.

"Master Taishou, the enemy army is attacking the city, and please go up to the city wall to boost morale."

A strong man with the appearance of a general walked to the top of the city when he mentioned the prefect.No matter how much the prefect struggled and refused, he couldn't break free from those big hands.

The general is a family general of the gentry, and his master doesn't want Yidao County to be ruined, so of course he has to do his best.

"Archer, fight back!"

The general carried the prefect to the top of the city and directly began to direct the battle.Yesterday, the county lieutenant of Yidao County was killed in battle, and now he is the only one with the ability to command.

When the guards heard someone ordering, no matter who it was, they hurriedly followed the order.The Wuling army attacked too fiercely.Shooting arrows under the city is more accurate than them.

Most of the arrows shot down from the city were blocked by the shield.For long-range suppression, the Wuling Army did a better job.

clap clap clap~
The ladder climbed up the city wall, and the soldiers of the Wuling Army climbed up with their shields on their shoulders.From time to time, someone was thrown down, and someone immediately made up for it.

"Jing Lan is coming, quickly find a way to stop it!"

The tall well fence is close to the city wall.Caused a panic.The archers on the well fence hurriedly bent their bows and shot arrows to cover the soldiers on the ladder.

"Hahaha, I'm finally here! Little brats, die!"

Guan Hai was the first to climb up the city wall, and after three laughs, he turned on the massacre mode.A big sword danced so airtight that all enemy soldiers who dared to approach were killed without exception.

"The general is mighty, brothers kill!"

The soldiers leading and following Guan Hai saw that he was unstoppable, and their fighting spirit suddenly broke out, and they followed Guan Hai to quickly seize the living space!

The east side of Yidao County was quickly lost under the onslaught of the Qilin Legion.After Zhao Yun went up to the top of the city, he was possessed by a god.A long spear directly kills through a wall!

"Master Taishou, the east of the city is lost!"

Someone from the east of the city came to report, but unfortunately their prefect was so frightened that he was dumbfounded and muttered to himself, "Devils, all are devils..."

"My lord, the west of the city is lost! Yidao County can no longer be defended!" Another person came to report.

"Run! Uh~"

The prefect who had been dumbfounded suddenly stood up and yelled.Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew from a distance at high speed, and pierced straight into the eunuch's body!

"grown ups?"

The general who commanded the defense of the city panicked, and all the prefects and captains of the county were killed in battle.Now the entire city has less than 5000 people.

"Hold it all!"

The only way to survive is to retreat.But without the owner's permission, he can't withdraw!

At this time, Shi Zhongyu and Sha Moke also went to the city.The fall of Yidao County was only a matter of seconds.

With so many generals in the Wuling army attacking the city at the same time, the one who can hold the city will definitely not be a weak prefect.

Half an hour later, flags of the Wuling Army could be seen waving everywhere in Yidao County.
