Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 186
Yuan Shu's army's first attack was easily defeated by Huang Cong, which made Yuan Shu furious and ordered the army to charge here.

The second batch of Yangzhou soldiers looked at the tragic situation of the Yangzhou soldiers who rushed forward, and they all felt lingering fear.But faced with the urging of their own generals, they had no choice but to rush towards Yangdi City one by one.Fortunately, Yangdi's defenders only boiled a dozen or so pots of golden juice, and all of them were used up when Yuan Shu's army attacked the city for the first time.

Yuan Shu's army rushed to the gate of Yangzhai City and looked at his companions who fell on the ground. Each one of them was frightened.In order not to see this horrific scene again, all the soldiers were fighting bravely. This was something Ye Mo had never thought about before.

Yuan Shu watched the army fighting for the first place, he burst out laughing, and said: "Look at my Yangzhou soldiers, they are all brave and fearless people. With such elite soldiers, they will be invincible and invincible."

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yang Hong quickly echoed: "Yangzhou has never produced elite soldiers, but well, under the leadership of the lord, Yangzhou soldiers will surely become the best soldiers in the world. The lord has these soldiers who are willing to serve the lord. , why worry about unexpected events? I would like to congratulate you, my lord, and congratulate you!"

Yuan Shu heard Yang Hong's words, and when Yang Hong said that Yangzhou did not produce elite soldiers, Yuan Shu looked unhappy.But after hearing what Yang Hong said later, Yuan Shu only felt that the world should belong to him, and that Liu Xie should abdicate immediately to him.

It's just that when Yuan Shu and Yang Hong were flattering and accepting the flattery of the officials here, Yan Xiang frowned all the time. "Yuan Changshi, do you see something wrong?"

Yuan Huan on the side was also frowning at this time, but when he saw Yuan Shu's army rushing towards the Yangdi city wall bravely, he didn't quite understand what the Yangdi guard was thinking.Yuan Huan shook his head, and said: "I still can't see it, I wonder if Master Yan has seen some tricks?"

When Yan Xiang heard Yuan Huan say that he had seen something, he carefully recalled some of the records about the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods that he had read in his mind. However, the more he looked at the defense of Yangzhai City, the more strange it seemed to Yan Xiang.It's not that the methods used by Yangdi's defenders were very powerful, but Yan Xiangzhong felt that there was a trace of the Mohist family in it.

The Mohist advocates "universal love, non-offensive". Therefore, in the attack and defense of a city, it is generally on the defensive side.There are many records in history that say how powerful the mechanism of the Mohist school is, but in fact, the Mohist school often changes a small part of an item to make it a defensive weapon, such as those door panels.

However, Yan Xiang just hid this doubt in his heart and did not say it out loud.The Mohist School was a civilization that existed in a long time ago. Nowadays, people all over the world admire Confucianism. How could something from the Mohist School appear?

Yuan Shu also heard the conversation between the two, but Yuan Shu ignored it.Compared with other princes, although Yuan Shu is not particularly talented or capable, Yuan Shu still has some advantages. For example, Yuan Shu will listen to some words selectively.Among Yuan Shu's three advisers, Yang Hong's words were Yuan Shu's favorite, because Yang Hong would flatter him.

Huang Cong watched those Yangzhou soldiers rushing up again, and ordered the army to throw stones and logs down.Although the archers of Yuan Shu's army were still shooting arrows at the defenders of Yangdi City, the density was much smaller. After all, Yuan Shu's army was climbing up the ladders on the city wall.At this time, if they still shoot coveringly like before, then these Yangzhou soldiers will be unlucky.

The easiest way to face Yuan Shu's army of archers is to shoot at each other.The defenders are on the city wall, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the range of bows and arrows is also farther.Not only that, the defenders on the city wall were throwing without any scruples, but those Yangzhou soldiers were different. Throwing upwards not only had a short range, but also had to be careful not to accidentally injure their own people.Therefore, there is no doubt that the Yangzhou soldiers were at a disadvantage in this round of competition. In desperation, Yuan Shu could only temporarily withdraw those archers.

The archers of Yuan Shu's army withdrew, and the defenders of Yangdi City could safely deal with the Yangzhou soldiers climbing up the ladder.Those Yangzhou soldiers also forgot the fear in their hearts at this time, and rushed towards the Yangzhai city wall desperately.

At the beginning, Yangdi's defenders didn't feel it, but by this time, Yangdi's defenders obviously felt the pressure.Faced with waves of Yangzhou soldiers rushing up the city wall, the defenders also suffered casualties.

After Yangzhai's defenders waved their weapons a lot, their arms became unconsciously out of their control. They thought about assassinating the enemy soldiers who were climbing up, but their hands couldn't keep up with the movements. , In this way, there may be a gap of one or two seconds, but in just one or two seconds, the Yangzhou soldiers have already inserted their weapons into the chests of the defenders.

Looking at this scene, Huang Cong immediately felt that his heart was bleeding.The night before, when Huang Cong went to find Ye Mo, Ye Mo taught him some methods available to defend the city.But now the two sides have just started fighting for less than an hour. The door panels have been used, the golden juice has been used, and there are other methods, but Huang Cong cannot use them now.There is no news of the reinforcements yet, if Yuan Shu destroys it now, it will be even more hopeless.

Seeing the Yangzhou soldiers rushing towards the city wall, Huang Cong could only helplessly lead his army to fight with the Yangzhou soldiers.After Yuan Shu saw that the army had climbed onto the city wall at the foot of the city, he ordered to the generals around him: "Lejiu and Qiao Rui listen to the order, take your own soldiers, give my general a boost, and capture Yangzhai!"

Lejiu and Qiaorui watched the army attacking the city beside Yuan Shu, and they had already felt itchy in their hearts. Now after hearing Yuan Shu's order, they immediately took the order to fight out.

There were not many defenders on the Yangdi city wall. At this time, Lejiu and Qiao Rui brought two thousand fresh troops to join in, which immediately put greater pressure on the Yangdi defenders.

Just after Yangzhou soldiers rushed up the city wall of Yangdi City, Ye Mo suddenly appeared.It turned out that after Dian Wei saw Ye Mo was injured, he didn't let Ye Mo go on the city wall again.But when Ye Mo heard in the county yamen that the situation on the city wall was unfavorable, he would go up to the city wall desperately.It's just that Dian Wei refused to do anything, and Ye Mo spent a lot of time talking to Dian Wei.

After Ye Mo came up, he frowned when he saw the eroding battle situation on the city wall.Ye Mo could tell that Huang Cong had not used all the city defense methods he taught Huang Cong.Ye Mo didn't care what Huang Cong thought, it was always true that the current war situation was unfavorable.

Dian Wei followed Ye Mo, and when he came up, he also discovered the corrupt situation on the city wall. The two-handed swordsmen were scattered and used by Huang Cong, and they were scattered on the city wall, and they did not play their maximum role at all.Not only that, but the scattered two-handed swordsmen suffered heavy casualties because they could not be protected by friendly troops.

"Hong Fei, take over the two-handed swordsman and let the Yangzhou army see the true power of the two-handed swordsman!" Seeing this situation, Ye Mo was also angry, and directly asked Dian Wei to take over the command of the two-handed swordsman.

After Dian Wei heard Ye Mo's words, he danced the short halberd in his hand, and quickly cleared away the Yangzhou soldiers around him. Dian Wei looked at the only dozen or so two-handed swordsmen on this section of the city wall. , Said: "Set up the formation, the front arrow formation."

The front arrow formation is a charge formation. The general is placed at the front of the formation, followed by the soldiers.This formation is particularly effective for attacking an enemy's army, cutting off the enemy's first line of communication, or splitting the enemy's army in half.Now it is used on this city wall, but it is also wonderful.

In this way, Dian Wei led a sharp arrow formation composed of two-handed swordsmen and continued to strike at the rushing Yangzhou soldiers.After eliminating the Yangzhou soldiers in a place, those two-handed swordsmen will automatically integrate into the formation.And Ye Mo would also ask the defenders to place wooden boards on the parapet wall, and then stretch out a few feet, so that the Yangzhou soldiers who had climbed the ladder could not climb the Yangdi city wall.

It's just that it was a little late at this time. Although Ye Mo made a decision immediately after bringing Dian Wei up, by the time they cleared the Yangzhou Army north of the east wall of Yangzhai, Lejiu and Qiao Rui had already boarded. The city wall is gone.

After the two Yuan Shu's generals climbed onto the city wall, they immediately massacred the defenders of Yangdi City around them.There is only one guard general in Yangzhai City, Huang Cong. Facing the generals of Yuan Shu's army from both armies, he is no match.Fortunately, the two men saw that Dian Wei's sharp arrow formation was extremely powerful, so they waited until more than a hundred of his subordinates climbed onto the city wall before setting up a fish scale formation and slowly moved towards Dian Wei.

This fish scale formation is not without its weaknesses. The weakness of the fish scale formation is at its back, and the weakness of the sharp arrow formation is also at its back.But on this city wall, neither side can outflank it from behind, and can only break through from the front.

When the two formations met, all the surviving two-handed swordsmen had gathered behind Dian Wei, but there were only more than 200 of them.On the opposite side, there were more than 500 Yangzhou soldiers beside Lejiu and Qiao Rui, and there was a steady stream of Yangzhou soldiers rushing up from behind.

Just when the two sides were about to start fighting, Yuan Shu ordered Jin Jin to withdraw his troops.Lejiu and Qiao Rui were stunned when they heard the sound of withdrawing their troops.They couldn't figure out why Yuan Shu suddenly ordered to withdraw his troops, even though they were about to capture Yangdi City.

But once the order was given, the two men did not dare to disobey, so they could only retreat slowly and break away from contact.Dian Wei was also exhausted at this time. After all, as the leader of the sharp arrow array, he had to face most of the pressure, and the energy he expended was naturally unimaginable.

Yuan Shu was unwilling to retreat, but he had no choice. Li Feng, who was stationed in Yuzhou, sent someone to send news that Tao Qian of Xuzhou suddenly sent troops. If Yuan Shu did not retreat at this time, then when the army's retreat was blocked, the real threat would be It's all over.

Looking at Yang Zhai, Yuan Shu was extremely unwilling.The duck in the mouth can really fly away. "Old Tao Qian, this general will not stand against you!" Yuan Shu cursed Tao Qian for being despicable, but there was no other way, he had no choice at this time.

Just as Lejiu and Qiaorui slowly retreated down the city wall, Huang Cong suddenly came out with a sword.In these days of attack and defense, Yang Zhai suffered too many casualties. Of the thousand guards he brought, there are now less than 100 left.He had to vent, just now that the Yangzhou army had formed a formation, Huang Cong had no choice but now that the formation had disintegrated, Huang Cong raised his knife and slashed at the Yangzhou soldiers who hadn't withdrawn yet.

Ji Ling, who was behind the pass, saw Huang Cong on the city wall slaughtering Yangzhou soldiers in this way, frowned slightly, and rode out with a bow and arrow in his hand.Everyone on the city wall was watching Huang Cong vent his anger, but they didn't notice that Ji Ling came to the city with a strong bow.

Ji Ling drew his bow and nocked the arrow in one go. He glanced at Huang Cong's approximate position, then released his right hand, and the arrow shot out of the air.Ji Ling knew that his archery skills were not very good, and this arrow was just to give Huang Cong a warning.By the time everyone on the city wall heard the sound of arrows piercing the air, it was too late to remind Huang Cong.

After Huang Cong heard the sound of breaking through the air, he looked towards the place where the sound came from, but it was too late to hide. The arrow hit Huang Cong's forehead directly.With just a casual arrow from Ji Ling, Huang Cong fell to the ground with hatred and died.Seeing this situation, Dian Wei took out a small halberd, and threw it towards Ji Ling's position with all his strength, but Dian Wei threw it randomly, and missed Ji Ling, but pulled down the city wall right in the middle. bridge rui.

The two generals, Huang Cong and Qiao Rui, failed to die on the battlefield in an upright manner, but were killed in such a muddled manner.
