"Okay, what time is it? The enemy is in front of you, and you are still arguing here. If you have the ability, kill Cao Jun." Yuan Tan slammed the table, shaking several people slightly, and the quarrel ended.
"Okay, that's it. Immediately confiscate the people, and we must speed up the digging of trenches."
Chapter 364 Zhang Liao Attacks Le Lang
Under the city of Lelang County, the sound of drums and horns shook the sky.
The [-] Han army surrounded the city with impenetrable water. Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the army began to launch tentative attacks from all directions.
Bao Zheng, Li Jun, and Zhang Liao hit it off immediately after receiving Cao Anmin's request for thieves, and began to prepare for the attack on Liaodong.
Try to take down several counties in Liaodong before Cao Anmin breaks through Qingzhou, and join forces with Cao Anmin under the city of Beiping.
One prospers all prospers and one suffers all losses. Under the soft and hard measures of prefect Li Hong, these aristocratic businessmen in the city also understand a truth.
Right now, they are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Once the emperor and the courtiers, they are all Gongsundu's courtiers. Gongsundu indulged them, but it didn't mean that Cao Anmin could indulge them.If the city can be defended, it's okay to persist until the reinforcements of Gongsun Taishou come. If not, no one in the city will be able to safely survive this catastrophe.
Therefore, under Li Hong's persuasion, almost all the rich families readily agreed, and some people contributed powerfully, and within a short time, more than 2 servants and servants joined the city defense with weapons.
This is where the horror of the family lies.
There are only hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong, but the population of Lelang County alone, which is hidden by the family, is as many as tens of thousands.
It is precisely because of their hidden strength that they are able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in this icy and snowy environment and remain invincible.
With their support, the defensive force within the city gate is temporarily sufficient. More than 5000 county soldiers, plus more than 2 servants and servants, are close to one to one with Cao Jun outside the city.
As long as the defense is proper, the city gate can be guaranteed.
Under the city gate, Zhang Liao stood in front of the thousands of troops with a sword in his hand. He only saw the towering city gate in front of him, and nothing else.
"Order all the ministries to set up the ladders and attack the city with all their strength. We must break through the city gate before dark."
Of the 1 troops under Zhang Liao's command, [-] are the elite of Xuzhou headquarters, and the other [-] are troops formed by the people of Sanhan.
Although it can't compete with Cao Jun, after these days of practice, it can already compete with ordinary county soldiers.The difference in strength between the enemy and us is very small. Once a battle starts, the soldiers who charge first will be attacked by the enemy's arrows and rolling stones. Zhang Liao is not a fool.
Even though Sanhan is already in their pocket, in order to ensure that nothing is lost, this kind of charge ahead and consume strength is still left to Sanhan's people.
It snowed heavily, and the entire moat was completely frozen into ice.Without the obstruction of the moat, it saved a lot of things for the siege army.
"Rush forward, whoever dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law."
With an order, the [-] soldiers in the lead quickly launched a charge, rushing directly under the city wall in a dense mass.
"Kill!"
Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the first batch of Sanhan soldiers who charged ahead had quickly crossed the frozen moat and arrived at the foot of the city wall.
The Liaodong army soldiers responsible for the defense above the city gate quickly counterattacked, arrows rained like rain, and stones, like hail, kept smashing at Cao's soldiers below the city gate.
"Fire arrows."
Zhang Liao gave an order, and the crossbowmen behind him quickly released arrows, and the arrows rained down, directly covering the city wall in front of them.
Far away from Xuzhou, in Liaodong.Without Xuzhou's logistics and military support, Zhang Liao and the others could only manufacture all the materials by themselves.
Fortunately, Sanhan's bow and crossbow archery is really good, and the level of making arrows is no different from that of a big man.Backed by enough arrows to support it, Zhang Liao even brought the bed crossbow, which he seldom used, directly onto the battlefield.
Other people's bed crossbows are used to attack important things.
But Zhang Liao didn't think so.
To break through a city, you must first destroy the opponent's confidence.
The best way to destroy confidence is to destroy the will of their sergeants.
What is the sergeant's will?
Handling the flag, holding the flag is their will.
If the general's flag is destroyed, the morale of the army will be unstable, and there will be chaos without fighting.
"Aim!" A bed crossbowman quickly adjusted his position and aimed his arrow at the Gongsun Shuai flag on the opposite city wall.
"Whoosh." As soon as the machine reed sounded, the huge arrow flew out quickly.
The defensive soldiers on the city wall only felt a blur before their eyes, and before they had time to react, they only heard a loud creak beside them.
"Shuaiqi, prefect, the handsome flag is broken, the handsome flag is broken."
Li Hong looked at Shuai Qi who was about to fall, and finally fell completely, and also stood there in a daze.
Looking intently, the direction where the arrow was shot was hundreds of meters away.
How could there be an arrow in this world that can shoot hundreds of meters? How much power would that have to be?
"My lord, dodge carefully!" Several subordinates quickly pulled Li Hong aside to prevent him from being shot by the enemy's arrows because he was too focused.
"How could there be such a powerful crossbow? Is it a crossbow or a catapult?"
Several school lieutenants and generals were also full of astonishment, and it was their first time fighting Cao Jun.According to their seals, although the Han army is powerful, it is impossible to attack such a distance even with a trebuchet.
"Come on!" Under the city gate, Cao Jun's soldiers continued to charge, and many people braved the arrow rain and started to climb the ladder.
"Hold me up!"
On the top of the city, a school lieutenant in full attire waved the sword in his hand, urging the soldiers and civilians to defend the city hoarsely.
A soldier closest to the top of the wall, like an ape, was holding a shield, avoiding arrows and chaotic rocks, and quickly climbed up.
Zhang Liao had issued incentives long before the start of the war.The first sergeant to board the city, whether he is a Han or a commoner in Sanhan, will be rewarded with fifty gold.
After Cao Anmin occupied Sanhan, he implemented military control over everything, and treated soldiers and farmers extremely high.Because of this, these soldiers will fight desperately, just to make their families live better.
"Get out of here, old man!"
The captain was furious, and brandished his sword to cut down the ladder. Although the sawdust was flying, he couldn't cut down the ladder made of pine wood in a short time.
Seeing that the soldiers on the ladder were getting taller and taller, the captain didn't care too much, he just got out of the bunker quickly and slashed at the ladder frantically.
The pressure on the ladder is huge, and a slight imbalance will cause the entire ladder to roll over.
One corner of the ladder was completely cut off, lost its support, and immediately tilted backward with the sound of the wind.
"Help!"
Cao Jun on the ladder fell one after another. Once the city was six or seven feet high, it would immediately bleed from the seven orifices and die on the spot.Those who were unlucky fell directly on the weapon or the ice pick, and were directly pierced through the body, and could not even scream.
