The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"General Zilong, everything is under your orders. Xu Chu and I will lead the attack right away, and we will meet again in Liyang City!"

"Okay, Brother Zhongkang, I'll treat you to a drink when you break into this city!"

Zhao Yun and Xu Chu briefly encouraged each other, then mounted their horses, intending to approach Li Yang.

The hour just passed.

Xu Chu led 2 people, ready to go, and they all arrived at Liyang City.

Colorful flags are fluttering in the wind, and the army is neatly arrayed.

Xu Chu came to the front of the army.

Fierce eyes.

"attack!"

A loud shout.

Xu Chu drew out his saber and waved his hand.

The [-] soldiers behind them rushed towards the gate of Liyang City immediately.

On the city floor.

Chunyuqiong and Jiang Qi stayed up all night.

Not because they couldn't sleep.

It's because they dare not sleep.

There are many examples of attacking cities at night, and they dare not be careless.

In case the enemies outside the city came to attack at night, and there was no one guarding the city tower, it would be too bad, so neither Chunyu Qiong nor Jiang Qi rested.

I have been watching, watching and watching until the sky dawns, so I have no intention of going to rest.

Coincidentally, just after dawn, the enemy army began to organize soldiers and horses again, and came down towards the city. Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi naturally had only 12 points of energy to prepare to deal with it.

After the horn of attack sounded, Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi could only lead a part to defend from the tower.

With the rising sun in the sky, the shouts of killing in Liyang City gradually became clearer.

With the addition of [-] infantry, the strength and ferocity of the attack have indeed been greatly improved.

It became difficult for Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong on the tower to deal with it.

The attack from below the city was also more ferocious than yesterday.

First, there were a few trebuchets, which were projected on the tower.

The boulder rolled into the city tower, bombarded the city wall, and splashed all around, which could injure some guards.

What's more, some unlucky guards were directly hit by boulders, and they died on the city wall.

With the cover of these trebuchets, the tower was not very easy to defend. There were still Zhao Yun's cavalry galloping around the tower, riding and shooting.

From time to time, arrows shot up from under the city tower, and the arrows that flew past flew past the soldiers' ears.

These offensive methods have already made it more difficult for the few soldiers on the tower to move forward, and they dare not stick their heads out easily.

Even the defense can only shrink back, so that the ladder built under the city tower and the hammer that hit the city gate will soon break through the gate of Li Yang.

On the tower, Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi's expressions became more and more gloomy, and they kept looking into the distance.

I look forward to the arrival of my reinforcements soon.

Otherwise, their small county would not be able to withstand such an onslaught.

Li Yang's gate had already begun to crumble, and the sound of thump, thump, thump, overwhelmed the sound.

The door trembled slightly when it was hit.

Seeing the city gate that was about to be knocked down, Xu Chu became even more excited.

But at this moment, not far from Liyang City, there was a sound of horns.

This was the sound of an offensive horn, and the rhythm of the sound was clearly very different from Xu Chujun's horn.

Xu Chu was taken aback immediately after hearing the voice.

Riding on the horse, he quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

All I could see was a black mass of people running over in the distance.

There are a large number of people, at first glance, more than 2 people.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed forward, heading straight for Li Yang.

Chapter 69 Support

Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi on the tower also saw this scene.

They turned their heads away, because they stood taller and could see farther.

Naturally, I saw these soldiers and horses coming from a distance.

However, because they stood tall, they could see at a glance the word "Liu" written on the flags held by the soldiers and horses coming over.

Occasionally, there are some writing Zang characters and Guan characters.

With these flags, Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi immediately understood that these troops were the Qingzhou Army under Liu Zheng's command.

Guan Hai and Zang Ba are in charge of dispatching Qingzhou.

"Reinforcements! They are our reinforcements!"

Jiang Qi was the first to get excited.

Although he didn't know why the person who came was not Wen Chou, but Guan Hai from Qingzhou.

But in any case, they are their own reinforcements, and their confidence in holding on to the city is even greater.

Chunyu Qiong also became excited at this time.

"The reinforcements are finally here!"

Following Jiang Qi, he also uttered an exclamation.

Once the reinforcements arrived, the pressure on the defenders on the tower would naturally be greatly reduced.

However, it didn't happen in a short while. When the reinforcements rushed over, the first to be affected were the troops attacking the city outside.

There will always be tension on the siege tower.

Can't relax at all.

Before Xu Chu had time to take care of the periphery, the reinforcements arrived suddenly.

Because he didn't care so much at this time, his purpose was to attack the city, and as for the reinforcements that arrived on the periphery, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were naturally there to clean them up.

He and Zhao Yun already had a clear division of labor, with the infantry mainly attacking and the cavalry guarding the surrounding area to prevent reinforcements from arriving in the city.

Once reinforcements from Li Yang's side appear, Zhao Yun will lead the more than [-] cavalry to attack those reinforcements.

"All cavalry brothers on the periphery come with me!"

Zhao Yun gave an order to the soldiers around him with a loud roar.

Immediately afterwards, he took the lead in waving his spear and rushed to the outside of Liyang County.

It is planned to use the strong suppression of the cavalry to suppress the supporting infantry.

Bai Mayi was very strict in command and dispatch from the army. Following Zhao Yun's order, thousands of cavalry followed Zhao Yun's footsteps and rushed to the front of Guan Hai's formation.

Listen to the trampling sound of rumbling war horses.

Guan Hai looked at Chong and charged towards his own cavalry team.

Although a little surprised, Guan Hai, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, did not show any timidity.

"Brothers prepare for battle!"

"Kill all these dogs for me!"

Guan Hai was so angry that he drew out his golden ring sword with a ferocious expression on his face.

Not afraid of these enemy troops rushing from outside.

The cavalry rushed over, and the soldiers under Guan Hai's command had already made preparations. They were soldiers and horses sticking to Qingzhou. The biggest threat to the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou was the Karasuma people in the north.

The most powerful of the Karasuma people is the cavalry, so the soldiers and horses guarding Qingzhou will basically be equipped with things to deal with the cavalry.

For example, Guan Hai's soldiers were more or less prepared to deal with the most powerful methods of the cavalry.

bow and arrow.

It is the main method to deal with cavalry, so Liu Zheng is equipped with some bows and arrows in the hands of these soldiers and horses in the north.

It's just that archers need skills, and it doesn't mean that they can shoot accurately with bows and arrows.

If you want to shoot, you need ability to improve the hit rate, but a large number of soldiers equipped with bows and arrows, shooting in unison, even blind cats can encounter dead mice.

Using arrows to consume cavalry is the most stupid, but the fastest effective method.

Guan Hai ordered the soldiers in the back row to take out their arrows and start shooting at the cavalry in the distance.

Their bows and arrows are not the most basic iron tire bows, but crossbow arrows improved by Liu Zheng's blacksmith research institute.

They don't need to do special aiming and draw the bow, just put the arrow on the crossbow, swing the trigger, and the crossbow will be ejected directly.

In this way, these soldiers are also saved from taking out arrows on the battlefield, preparing the arrows, and discarding them immediately after use.

You can fight directly.

After Guan Hai's order, those more than ten thousand soldiers and horses equipped with crossbows directly raised their crossbows.

As they pulled the trigger, all the arrows pressed on it flew out immediately.

Although more lethal than normal bows, crossbows are less accurate.

When the soldiers' archery skills were not very strong, these people used crossbows and arrows better than bows and arrows.

After all, what is needed is fire suppression, not precision strikes.

The firing of tens of thousands of arrows can instantly strike the cavalry in front of Zhao Yun.

puff!

puff puff!

Ding Ding!

Arrows rained down all over the sky, some directly pierced the bodies of those white horses Yicong, and some missed and landed on the ground and shot into the ground.

Even bounced off by a sword.

The sounds are different.

However, with so many arrows, one round of shooting still put a lot of pressure on Zhao Yun.

Fortunately, the white horse Yicong under him were all equipped with some armor.

It can't be regarded as a complete light cavalry, but the armor funded by the imperial court. The knights and horses are covered with a thick layer of soft armor.

Although these soft armor and metal armor are not particularly strong in defense, it is still no problem to block some arrows from such a long distance.

The damage caused by a round of shooting to Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong is not huge.

It should have only lost a few hundred people.

In addition, the cavalry under Zhao Yun's command were extremely fast, and they were already approaching Guan Hai in the blink of an eye.

If the distance is too close, those bows and crossbows will no longer be able to carry out the second round of shooting.

However, this does not mean that Guan Hai and the others have nothing to do with the cavalry like Zhao Yun.

Except for the bows and crossbows that everyone has.Most of these soldiers under Guan Hai are spear shieldmen and pikemen.

The spears in the hands of these spearmen are completely different from the spears in the hands of ordinary generals.

Just like the spear weapons in the hands of Zhao Yun and others.

Most are around two meters in length.

However, the spears in the hands of these spearmen are mainly slender.The length is as high as three meters.
