Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 405 Taking Yiling Lightly
"General, why did General Dongfang let our cavalry attack the city?"

Among the cavalry, Zhao Yi asked puzzledly.Zhao Yi is one of the three talents personally discovered by Zhao Yun in the Yizhou Martial Arts Tournament, and he is unstoppable in battle.

"Cavalry attacking the city? We can't attack the city with two thousand cavalry, so let's practice riding and shooting. There is still a big gap between our cavalry and Qinglongqi. Zhao Yi, you must not relax!"

"The last will obey!"

Zhao Yun understood Dongfang Qiang's intentions, the cavalry was only to test the enemy's situation, and put pressure on the defenders of Yiling City.The real siege will be after the bombardment of the catapult, which is the usual routine in the east to siege the city.

Under normal circumstances, hundreds of thousands of fire bombs fell, and the enemy army was on the verge of collapse.At that time, as soon as the pawns charge, the enemy's defense will collapse.

……

News of the fall of Yidao County has reached Yiling City.The Wuling army is about to enter Yiling, causing panic in the entire Yiling city.The capable gentry landlords had already fled the city, and they did not want to live under the rule of the Wuling Army.

There are still [-] defenders in Yiling City under the command of General Liu.

"Master County Lieutenant, call all the county soldiers here, the Wuling army is coming soon."

When the Wuling army was resting, the scouts from both sides had already fought first.General Liu naturally knew the approximate location of the Wuling Army.

There was little hope of keeping Yiling, but as a member of the Liu family, he would never give up lightly.The most is to die in the city!Anyone can surrender, but surrendering to the Wuling Army, as a member of the gentry, he disdains!
"General Liu, there are only 1000 soldiers in the county, and with your [-] soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to defend Yiling City. Or...surrender!"

The county lieutenant suggested cautiously.He has heard about Yizhou's policies.It is definitely not as exaggerated as the gentry said.The Wuling Army's army was pressing down on the border, and the county lieutenant had no intention of resisting.

The original Wuling County lived in dire straits.However, in Wu Shun's hands, Wuling people's life is very interesting. The Wuxi Man, who used to make troubles before, has basically integrated into Wuling County.

Yearning for a better life made the county captain a little eager for the Wuling Army to take Yidu County.

It's a pity that General Liu in front of him looked ugly and was on the verge of rage.

"The enemy is in front of us, how dare we disturb the morale of our army! Pull it down and cut it!"

General Liu was furious. Just as he was about to die in the city, the county lieutenant immediately persuaded him to surrender. Isn't this a slap in the face?

No matter how the county lieutenant begged for mercy, General Liu had no intention of letting him go.

rumbling~
Smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the sound of horseshoes came from far and near.

"alert!"

When the Wuling army came, General Liu immediately ordered to be on guard.He had 5000 people, plus the [-] county soldiers who forcibly forced them to the top of the city, a total of [-].With proper arrangements, Yiling can defend a wave.

Zhao Yun didn't care who was guarding the city, the Qilin cavalry rushed all the way to Yiling City, without any intention of slowing down.

"Cavalry siege? You underestimate this general!"

When General Liu saw that it was the cavalry of the Wuling Army, the tension in his heart suddenly decreased a lot.When the cavalry didn't slow down, but rushed over, he was on fire!

The opposing cavalry general looked down on him!This is unbearable!
"Archer ready!"

At the head of Yiling City, the archers bent their bows and set their arrows ready to go!

General Liu's eyes were wide open, waiting for the Qilin cavalry to come into range!

However, Zhao Yun let him down.When there were still a few steps away from the range of the archer, the galloping war horse suddenly turned its head and rushed to the other side.General Liu shouted the word "shooting arrows" in his throat, but he forcefully swallowed it back into his stomach.

It's so uncomfortable!What are these cavalry doing?

"General be careful!"

The soldiers beside him flew forward and threw General Liu down, "Ding Ding Ding~" The arrow missed General Liu and was nailed to the wall, making a crisp sound.

Pushing away the soldier who had saved him, General Liu stood up.I was so focused just now that I didn't notice that the opponent's cavalry had completed a volley while turning around!
The defenders who were preparing to release arrows were screamed by the sudden arrows.Fortunately, the Qilin cavalry's aim was not good, and more than half of the arrows were shot in the air.Otherwise, the damage would be even greater.

How elite is the cavalry that everyone can ride and shoot?
"Watch out for avoidance!"

Discovering that the enemy will shoot in salvo, General Liu has nothing to do.But he knew that as long as he didn't show his face, it would be difficult for the enemy to hurt them.

It's just too aggrieved to be pressed and beaten.

The counterattack failed to hit the fast-moving cavalry, and the defenders felt extremely uncomfortable.

In such an environment, Zhao Yun stopped the cavalry from running again and again.The first time is better than the first time.

This kind of risk-free training opportunity is not available all the time.At this moment, Zhao Yun is very grateful for Dongfang Qiang's care.

"General, the cavalry can still be used like this, the general admires it."

Zhao Yi praised Zhao Yun's ability to command the cavalry.

"The opportunity is rare, hurry up and train your troops. Try to shoot all the arrows!"

Zhao Yun's requirements are not high, and every soldier can retreat and rest after shooting all the arrows in the quiver.

When Zhao Yun was in the middle of training happily, Dongfang Qiang arrived with a large army.Zhao Yun also asked the Qilin cavalry to stop the performance and return directly to the team.

"My God? How many people should there be?"

On Yiling City, General Liu panicked.The courage to die in the city just now has long since disappeared.

When the legions marched to the designated positions, Dongfang Qiang decisively ordered to attack the city.

Yiling City, which had not been baptized by war for a long time, saw the violence of the Wuling Army's catapults for the first time.

"boom!"

When the fire bomb hits the city wall, it can always cause a tremor.General Liu was worried about how long the city wall in disrepair could withstand the bombardment.

The Wuling army fired catapults one after another, and the city of Yiling was in a mess, the towers had been smashed down, and many places were on fire.

"The Wuling army is too scary!"

"This fire bomb is too scary, what should I do?"

"Ah, Wuling Army, come on! I'm not afraid of you! Ah..."

The strings in the hearts of the city guards were always tense.Some soldiers were so frightened that they stood up and wanted to fight back, but they were smashed to pieces by the fireballs that fell from the sky, and the broken flesh was all over the ground.

The scene was so bloody that it made one's stomach churn.Many soldiers couldn't bear it and vomited out directly.

After the stone bombs were thrown, the soldiers of the Wuling Army formally attacked the city.Simultaneously attack from the south, east and west, Guan Hai and Zhao Yun are in charge of the east, Dongfang Qiang is in charge of the front (south), and Gan Ning is in charge of the feint attack in the west.

With 2000 defenders scattered across the three walls, the Wuling Army had to face only [-] men.

The front, the well fence, the orange hammer, the ladder is strong, and the defenders can't stop it at all.Under the pressure of Jing Lan, the Suzaku Legion easily climbed up the city wall and fought with the defenders!

To the east, Zhao Yun and Guan Hai took the lead, and their own soldiers lined up to face the enemy behind them. The two of them climbed up the ladder directly and slaughtered all directions on the city wall.

Rout!

Under the fierce attack of the [-] Wuling army, the Yiling defenders were unable to hold on for an hour.

General Liu fulfilled his long-cherished wish and died in the city!After his death, the defenders dropped their weapons and surrendered.

The military flag of the Wuling Army fluttered in the wind above Yiling City.

　Bandits here wish everyone: safe and sound!
