Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 407 Building a slope and cavalry attacking the city
"General Dongfang, looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, you are finally here. Alas, the defenders of Xiling bullied us as cavalry and closed the gates of the city. I am ashamed to say it."

In the Xiliang army camp, Pei Yuanshao and Ma Dai were very enthusiastic.Dongfang Qiang is the war commander of Yidu County, as long as he arrives, the little Xiling City will be destroyed overnight.

"Hehe, it is very rare for the two generals to attack Zigui with [-] cavalry and successfully hold off Xiling. Next, let the defenders here see how the Wuling army attacked the city for a day."

Dongfangqiang is determined to win against Xiling, and the faster the speed, the better.Zigui has been included in the territory of Yizhou, and the next one is this Xiling.

"Can't the cavalry attack the city? The last general has an idea and wonders if it is feasible."

There are many cavalry here. If they cannot participate in the siege, there will be a waste of troops.So Zhao Yun has a bold idea.

"Whatever Zilong thinks, just say it."

Xiling City is actually similar to Yiling.The city wall is not very tall, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. It is estimated that it will be knocked down after several rounds of fire.

But Zhao Yun has an idea, and Dongfang Qiang is willing to listen.It's good to have a fresh move, and now that there are outsiders present, it is very necessary to show the diversity of Wuling Army's tactics.

Wu Shun's intention to merge Xiliang peacefully can be seen by generals like Dongfang Qiang who like to use their brains.

"Generals, there are [-] Xiliang iron cavalry and [-] Qilin cavalry, a total of more than [-]. If they are not useful in the siege battle, it is a waste of troops.

Of course the Suzaku Legion alone can break through the city, but it will be slower.If the cavalry can be used as the main force for attacking the city, coupled with the powerful long-range cover of the Suzaku Legion, it will be easy to break through Xiling City! "

"The cavalry attacked the city, and Zilong wanted to build up soil to attack the city?"

Hearing Zhao Yun's general idea, Dongfang Qiang knew the tactics he wanted to use.The cavalry is the main force of the siege, and it is a good tactic to attack the city with soil.As long as it is used properly, it can indeed deter the enemy and quickly win the city.

However, this tactic requires a lot of soil, and a slope is built on the edge of the city wall that allows the cavalry to rush up the city.

Generally, when there are many defenders and the defense is tight, no one will use this kind of tactic of courting death.

But now with the Suzaku Legion, there are more than 2 elite cavalry, and there are not many defenders in Xiling, so it is possible to build a slope.

"Generals, what is Zilong's strategy?"

Dongfang Qiang asked the generals present for advice.

"The cavalry will be the main force to attack the city, and General Zilong is powerful. The last general thinks it is feasible!"

Pei Yuanshao directly raised his hand in agreement, and now Ma Dai is left.The cavalry is the main force in the siege, and to put it bluntly, let them take the lead in the Xiliang cavalry.He wanted to object, but combined with the current situation, this tactic is very good.

"I have no opinion."

In the end, Ma Dai also "agreed" to Zhao Yun's tactics.

"Okay, since that's the case. Just follow what Zilong said, build up soil and attack the city!"

Dongfang Qiang directly ordered:
"Zhao Yun!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead the Suzaku Army, and the Qilin Army will collect the sand and soil needed for the siege within two days and fill them with cloth bags."

"The last general takes orders!"

Since it was Zhao Yun's tactic, let Zhao Yun collect and pack the sand by himself.

"General Dongfang, what do we need to do?"

Ma Dai asked cautiously.In front of him is the famous and undefeated general in the Wuling Army.

"General Ma, let the soldiers eat and drink enough. It will be up to you to attack the city in two days. After the city is broken, I will personally ask for credit for General Ma!"

"Then I would like to thank General Dongfang for his kindness."

If you want others to work hard, the rewards should not be low.Next, Dongfang Qiang gave extra meals to the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and entertained them with good wine and meat.This made all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army smile, and they were very grateful to Dongfang Qiang who improved their food.Although they are elite, it is difficult to eat meat at ordinary times.

Eating meat every day is the treatment only available to the elite regiments of the Wuling Army.Today, the Xiliang army also experienced the treatment of other elites.

Under Zhao Yun's command, more than [-] men from the two armies dug the soil everywhere, and within two days they prepared the soil bags needed to build the slope.

On Xiling City, the defenders looked at the densely packed enemies outside the city, panicked.God knows if Xiling City can still be defended.

After everything was ready, Dongfangqiang didn't waste any time and directly ordered the catapult to bombard.The shield soldiers and archers quickly entered the designated positions.In the gap between the bombardment of the catapult, archers are needed to suppress the city head and protect the soldiers who built the slope.

Boom boom~
The fire bombs fell and rolled, overwhelming the defenders on the city to dare to raise their heads.

"on!"

Zhao Yun gave an order, and the soldiers who had already prepared picked up the soil bags and rushed forward.In order to reduce weight and increase running speed, the soldiers were all shirtless.

Back and forth, under the non-stop movement of the soldiers, a soil slope began to slowly take shape.

When the defenders in the city saw what the Wuling army had done, they were shocked.Under the scolding of the general, they launched counterattacks one after another, trying to prevent the Wuling army from building the slope.

"Archers, suppress cover!"

The defenders fought back desperately, shooting down many soldiers carrying earth bags.Dongfangqiang immediately ordered the archers to suppress it, and never gave the defenders a chance to fire a volley.

"Shields step forward!"

In order to reduce the loss, Dongfang Qiang asked the shield soldiers to carry their shields and run to the vicinity of the slope to form a shield formation, so as to block the deadly arrows for the soldiers who built the slope.

The rogue behavior of the Wuling Army made the defenders despair.The catapult blasted so far, there were so many archers, and they used shields to cover them in the end.That kind of feeling is like someone walking towards you slowly with a knife. You want to resist, but find that no matter how hard you try, it is futile.

Two hours!With the efforts of the generals of Wuling Army.It was cast on a slope extending to the top of the city.

The catapults have stopped attacking, only the archers are still suppressing the enemy.The shield soldiers have already retreated, firmly protecting their own archers.

"General Ma, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, General Dongfang, the soldiers can't wait."

"Zi Long?"

Dongfang Qiang asked again.

"Don't worry, general, Xiling City will be destroyed today!"

After the earth slope was completed, Zhao Yun was full of confidence.

Dongfang Qiang saw that the cavalry officers and soldiers were in good spirits, especially Zhao Yun, who was high-spirited.So I ordered:
"attack!"

"kill!"

rumbling~
As the main force of the siege, the cavalry is dispatched!

"The Wuling army is attacking the city, everyone stand up and fight back. Archers, stand up and fight back. Throw rolling stones and trees at me!"

The general defending the army heard the movement outside the city and knew that the cavalry was about to attack the city.

In a battle of unequal strength, resistance seemed futile.The defenders stood up and counterattacked, and the first thing they got was the volley of archers from the city.

Although many rolling stones and trees rolled down the slope, many horses were injured.But a total of more than 2 cavalry were dispatched, how could that few casualties be able to stop it?
Holding the gentian gun, Zhao Yun pulled the horse's reins, and the horse under his crotch knew what his master wanted, so he jumped up and fell towards the city wall.Before landing, the two front hooves trampled to death two enemy soldiers by the way.

The gentian spear stabbed and swept across, making a lot of space for the following cavalry.In this way, Zhao Yun led the Qilin cavalry galloping on the top of the city.

"Zhao Yun is really a hero!"

Looking at Zhao Yun who was unstoppable in the enemy formation, Ma Dai secretly sighed in his heart:
"There are so many fierce generals in the Wuling Army!"

As far as Ma Dai knows, there are Zhang Xiong, Wei Yan, Qu A, Samo Ke, Gan Ning, Guan Hai and others among the fierce generals of the Wuling Army, and now there is Zhao Yun.

Now Ma Dai is becoming less and less optimistic about Ma Teng's management in Xiliang.
