The Invincible Hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 9 fierce battle
Zhang Xun finally boarded the main tower at the most critical moment.I saw the yellow turban bandits rushing from all directions to the trenches of the moat.Zhang Xun turned his head and sternly said to the small school beside him: "Command! All the archers in the city, raise the angle to four points, and hit one stone! Let the arrows go! Let the crossbowmen at the top of the city not be dazed, and shoot those thieves who want to fill the trench! Declare to supervise the battle team, and if there are any cowards who flee and fear the battle, they will be killed immediately!"

The small school took orders and left.

Seeing the well that was getting closer to the trench, Zhang Xun said coldly to the captain beside him: "Take a group of people to the county treasury to see if there is any usable fire oil. I will I don’t believe I can’t find even one can!”

Suddenly a guard came to report and ordered Zhang Xun to go to the gate tower of the south city immediately to see Chu Gong, the county guard.

"I don't see you!" Zhang Xun directly refused. The war had already started, and the main city gatehouse couldn't be separated from him for a moment.What is that sheriff, sheriff? !What is the sheriff going to do at the South Gate Tower? ?Zhang Xun was shocked, and then looked towards the south wall, and sure enough, he saw a man in iron armor holding a sharp sword.He kept ordering the crossbowmen behind him to string and release arrows.Who is it if it's not Chu Gong, the governor of the county?
It's just nonsense!Zhang Xun was anxious, even if the county guard really didn't take his own life seriously, he still had to be responsible for his soldiers.As a member of one party, he came to the city to supervise the battle in person, which made Zhang Xun feel moved and indignant at the same time.Zhang Xun immediately yelled at the soldier who sent the order: "I will give you a little time to send the sheriff down to the top of the city. Otherwise, you will raise your head and come see me again!"

Zhang Xun was also confused by anger, the guard who delivered the order was just a soldier beside Chu Gong.How dare he persuade Chu Gong?Why did Zhang Xun let him raise his head to see him?The soldier cupped his hands to Zhang Xun and said, "The words of the captain, the villain will bring them to the lord." After speaking, regardless of how Zhang Xun was furious, he ran towards the south city wall.

Inside the west wall of Wancheng, two hundred archers were on standby.An orderly sergeant rushed from a distance and whispered something to the small colonel in charge of these archers.The little schoolboy nodded slightly after listening attentively.Then he shouted sharply: "Archers listen to the order and string up!"

Two hundred archers raised their short bows one after another, and put on feathered arrows.

"Elevation angle is four points! Power one stone! Shoot the arrow!"

The archer heard the words and adjusted the angle of the feather arrow, and then pulled out most of the string.He shot the feather arrow in his hand fiercely.

"Let the arrow!" "Let the arrow!" "Let the arrow!"

Almost at the same time, hundreds of feathered arrows flew out from the four walls of the city.They stabbed viciously at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were filling up the trench.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who were filling up the trenches were caught off guard and shot down one after another.For a while, there was a scream from the edge of the trench.

"Ah! God damn officers and soldiers! My leg! It hurts so much!" A yellow scarf soldier was nailed to his leg by a feathered arrow, unable to move.

The sounds of other wounded screams came and went one after another on the battlefield.

"Abba! I want to go back to see my abba!" A young yellow scarf soldier threw the sandbag on his back heavily to the ground and ran back.

"Xiao Cui! I want to go back to the house to marry my Xiao Cui!" A yellow scarf soldier was shot in the left eye by a stray arrow, running around the battlefield with blood on his face.

"The officers and soldiers are too cruel! Brothers, retreat!" More yellow turban soldiers who were filling the ditch felt fearful, threw sandbags in their hands, and rushed to the yellow turban formation behind.

"Huh?!" The leader of the Yellow Turban Army was named Zhang Mancheng, who was originally a pariah born of an official prostitute. (ps: In the Han Dynasty, the single name was noble, and the double name was cheap.) Because of his burly body, he was also loyal to Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher.He was deeply loved by Zhang Jiao, and was appointed by him as the commander of Daqu on this side.Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Mancheng was even more ambitious. The army he led continued to burn down villages and loot county towns.Up to now, from 2 people at the time of the uprising, it has snowballed to 25 troops!
With such a huge army, even if most of the soldiers can only plow the land, even if the main weapons in this army are farm tools, even if there are still many people in this army who are old, young, women and children.Zhang Man still began to feel complacent in his heart.With the victories of the battles, Zhang Mancheng's mood began to become more and more joyful.

But Zhang Mancheng was not very happy these days, especially at this moment.Zhang Mancheng was even more indignant when he saw that the Yellow Turban soldiers in the main attack direction were forced to retreat by the rain of arrows from the Han Dog.

He turned his horse's head and shouted angrily to the lieutenant beside him: "Command! Let the archers cover the city and shoot! Cover the men to fill up the trenches. Then send out six thousand men to carry the soil together! A certain man will be there before sunset. Use the head of that dog thief Chu Gong to comfort the spirit in heaven commanded by Ma Yuanyi!" The deputy general led the order and left.

Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Mancheng are both untouchables, and they became friends with each other when they both worked for Zhang Jiao.Ma Yuanyi was torn apart in Luoyang by the imperial court a few years ago, which made Zhang Mancheng furious.

Originally, after receiving the news two days ago, Zhang Mancheng wanted to take down Wancheng in one go.Chu Gong, the governor of the county, also came to crack the car once, in order to comfort his friend's spirit in heaven.For this reason, Zhang Mancheng did not hesitate to pay a huge price.When the siege equipment was not available, they used a sea of ​​people to attack Wancheng, which had high walls and deep ditches.This behavior is tantamount to very stupid.

Is Zhang Mancheng stupid?the answer is negative.It is impossible for Zhang Jiao to appoint a fool as a generous commander.Zhang Mancheng followed the strategy of attacking the unprepared, and the result was that he succeeded just a little bit.There are many factors that caused Zhang Mancheng's sneak attack to fail.

However, no matter how unwilling and annoyed Zhang Mancheng was, the battle opportunity has passed.Wancheng is not like those county towns with only a few small walls, and it is almost impossible to win another battle.Zhang Mancheng could only order the plundered craftsmen to quickly build siege equipment for future battles.That is, two days ago, Zhang Mancheng suddenly realized that sometimes there are too many soldiers, and it is really not as good as soldiers.

Therefore, Zhang Mancheng deliberately gathered all the young and middle-aged men of the Yellow Turban Army to form the first echelon of attacking the city.But he never thought that the "elite" in Zhang Mancheng's eyes would behave so unbearably at the moment.

It still depends on the number of people!Zhang Man thought viciously on purpose.

At this time, in the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, there was also a group of 2000 archers lined up in three rows, and they drew their bows and strings under the leadership of a small Yellow Turban commander.The handsome Xiao Qu raised the saber in his hand high, and then slashed forward like lightning.At the same time, he shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

"Fire the arrows with all your might!"

"Don't stop! Keep shooting arrows!"

Following the almost hysterical yells of the handsome man in the yellow scarf, waves of locust-like feather arrows slammed down towards Wancheng just like two days ago!

The covering arrow rain of the Yellow Turban Army greatly increased the pressure on the archers in the city and the crossbowmen at the top of the city.Especially the crossbowmen at the top of the city, almost half of them lost their combat effectiveness under the devastating arrow rain.For a while, there were endless screams from the top of the city.
