The World of Yellow Sky

Casualties have already exceeded [-].

If it is ten, it will be surrounded, if it is five, it will be attacked, and if it is doubled, it will be divided.

Siege warfare has always been extremely tragic. The enemy can cause a lot of damage to the siege side by relying on the fortified city, blocking several times more enemy troops.

The Yizhou army suffered heavy casualties, and the Dongzhou army also suffered heavy casualties.

After the defeat in the field battle, more than [-] people in Chengdu returned to defend the city, and then Pang Xi brought [-] Dongzhou soldiers, Pang Yi brought [-] Zitong defenders, and nearly [-] young and strong soldiers. Help defend the city.

But there are more than [-] people with combat power. It is difficult for the young and strong in the defense to survive such a cruel war. They are used as consumables, and they don't even have a weapon. They are just civilians. In fact, their job is to throw logs and stones, carry equipment, and defend the city.

Dongzhou soldiers didn't dare to give them weapons at all, because they were afraid that the weapons they had would cause chaos in the city.

These young and strong were pushed onto the battlefield by Dongzhou soldiers in this way, and died quickly without meaning.

As the defender of the city, the Dongzhou soldiers suffered fewer casualties than the Yizhou army, but more than [-] people died in battle.

A total of more than [-] people were killed in the field battles outside the city and the battle to defend the city.

The fall of the city wall was entirely due to the fact that the mound was built. Gan Ning led his elite soldiers to the city wall, and killed Deng Xian and Leng Bao, two famous generals in the army who were famous for their bravery. The soldiers on the ground lost their command and their morale fell to the bottom, and then they were attacked into the city in one fell swoop.

Dongzhou soldiers actually suffered few casualties, which is why Wu Yi and other generals tried their best to dissuade Liu Yan from withdrawing to the north. After withdrawing to Mianzhu, he asked Hanzhong for support and fought a decisive battle with Yizhou army.

Ren Xian looked solemn, clutching the railing in front of him, looking at the devastated city of Chengdu.

The city of Chengdu, which was so prosperous in the past, is about to turn into a sea of ​​flames.

Ren Xian's hand holding the railing became more and more forceful, and the knuckles of his fingers even turned white due to the force.

He originally wanted to send cavalry northward to directly attack Beicheng and control the city wall of Beicheng, but the fire set off by the Dongzhou soldiers in the city blocked their way.

Now he can only place his hopes on Zhang Ren and Ren Xie, as long as either of them can send troops to the North City to control the gate of the North City, then they will be the final winners.

Relying on Chengdu City, although the Yizhou Army has tens of thousands of people, it can still resist.

It only needs to resist for a few days, and when the soldiers under his command are relieved and regain their physical strength and fighting spirit, then the more than [-] Yellow Turban troops outside the city will not be a problem at all.

In the past, his elder brother defeated the more than [-] Yellow Turban Army led by Ma Xiang with less than [-] soldiers. Now, although Zhao Zhi's Yellow Turban Army is much stronger according to the rumors, Jing Hongyi, who was outside the city before, watched It looks like a strong army.

But not long ago, Zhao Zhidu was chased by Dongzhou soldiers with nowhere to go, nowhere to go, until he ran into the deep mountains and old forests before he was able to settle down for a while.

For this period of time, even if the four sages of military strategists trained their troops in person, it would be impossible for these mobs to defeat the elite under his command.

"Hopefully it's still too late..."

Ren Xian held the railing in front of him tightly, closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and prayed.

He has done everything he can, and he has done everything he can.

……

Although the North City of Chengdu is chaotic, there is still some order remaining, unlike the East City, West City, and South City that have completely fallen into disorder.

At the gate of the northern city, there are also a large number of Dongzhou army cavalry, all of them are Wu Yi's personal guard cavalry.

Liu Yan set himself on fire and died, but Wu Yi and the others didn't want to die, they wanted to live.

"Have you found Lei Tong and Wu Ban?"

Wu Yi grabbed the messenger with the command flag on his back.

"Reporting to General, I didn't see Captain Lei's banner, but I saw Captain Wu's banner, but..."

"but what!"

Wu Yi's heart tightened, and he asked hastily.

"There are quite a few rebel banners around Lieutenant Wu, I'm afraid..."

The messenger who was caught by Wu Yi turned pale with fright and spoke incoherently.

Wu Yi's face turns green and turns white. Wu Ban is his younger brother. He followed him all the way from Guanzhong to Yizhou after going through all kinds of hardships...

"withdraw!"

Wu Yi clenched his teeth, and he finally made a decision.

Just after Wu Yi gave the order to retreat, [-] Dongzhou soldiers who still retained their organizational system filed out from the north city of Chengdu.

Wu Yi knew very well that they had lost all their hole cards and all their bargaining chips.

Liu Gui and Pang Yi were the only ones who escaped from Chengdu with Wu Yi.

Leng Bao and Deng Xian were beheaded by Gan Ning, and Lei Tong, Wu Lan, Wu Ban, and Pang Xi were all lost in the city.

……

"Damn it!"

Ren Xie slammed his fist hard on the city wall.

"Do these Dongzhou dogs really know how to live and die!?"

On the front city wall, there appeared another Dongzhou soldier phalanx lined up with military formations.

Hearing the dialect that he didn't know what was being said in his ear, Ren Xie couldn't help but feel angry.

He wanted to capture Beicheng, but on the city wall, he kept encountering those Dongzhou soldiers who were stubbornly resisting. The defenders who passed through the city were also blocked by the fire wall, and there was no way to go to Beicheng.

……

Just like Ren Xie's difficulties, the trilogy sent by Zhang Ren to Beicheng also encountered tenacious resistance from Dongzhou soldiers.

Those Dongzhou soldiers on the city wall relied on the city wall and arrow towers to resist the attack of Yizhou army tenaciously.

Seeing that the offensive of the attacking troops was intercepted again, Zhang Ren knew that he could not continue like this. Once the Yellow Turban Army took control of Beicheng, the dust that had already settled would be raised again.

"Get my knife!"

Zhang Ren stretched out his hand to the side, and the personal guard quickly handed Zhang Ren's saber into his hand.

After getting the weapon, Zhang Ren handed over the command to the lieutenant general, and withdrew the attacking soldiers. He wanted to lead the army to break the formation himself!

"The defeat of this battle will be in Beicheng. If Beicheng is destroyed, our army will win! If Beicheng falls, our army will die!"

"In this battle, there will be death but no life, and there will be advances and no retreats!"

Zhang Ren held the ring sword in his hand, looked around at the soldiers beside him, and shouted sharply.

"kill!!!"

Zhang Ren let out a furious roar, and left at the head of the soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers behind him all followed the scene, shouting mighty!

With Zhang Ren as the vanguard, the army formation of Dongzhou soldiers was penetrated in an instant, and then fell apart.

Zhang Ren broke through the formation of Dongzhou soldiers blocking the front, and did not stop at all, but continued to move forward with the soldiers under his command. He knew very well that it was a race against time, and there was no room for a moment's rest.

……

"roll!"

Zhang Ren roared angrily, and slashed fiercely, directly cutting a huge gap in the neck of a Dongzhou soldier in front of him.

Blood spurted out, splashing all over Zhang Ren's body. Zhang Ren's crimson shirt had already turned dark red.

Zhang Ren's face was cold, he raised his foot and stepped on the head of the Dongzhou Bingjunhou who had just died, and slowly pulled out the ring head knife in his hand.

Fifty steps ahead is the tower of the North City, which is the control point of the second gate of the North City of Chengdu. This is also the last gate of the North City of Chengdu. After controlling this gate, all four walls of the City of Chengdu will be covered by them. It's in my hands.

And there are no Dongzhou soldiers in front of them blocking their way forward.

At this time, a large number of khaki banners have appeared on the field of Beicheng. They are rushing towards this gate, but their distance is not close. Now Zhang Ren has time to close the city before they arrive. Door.

Looking at the fiery red banner on the city wall, Zhang Ren breathed a sigh of relief, but even though the enemy was still far away, Zhang Ren still did not relax. He led the soldiers behind him, raised his spirit again, and strode away towards the city tower.

"Enter the city tower, close the city gate, and guard the horse road. There are still many Dongzhou soldiers in the city, don't let them retake the city wall!"

Looking at the empty city wall, Zhang Ren's heart was finally relieved for a moment. He commanded the soldiers under his command and quickly issued military orders.

Now there are only more than 100 soldiers following Zhang Ren, and the rest have fallen behind, and there are still many Dongzhou soldiers in Chengdu City. Although they occupy Beicheng, Zhang Ren dare not take it lightly.

Those Dongzhou soldiers who want to escape from Chengdu don't care whether there are Yellow Turbans outside the city, they just want to open the city gate at any cost, so as to escape from the endless purgatory in Chengdu City, which has made them suffer so much.

"puff----"

Standing on the city wall, Zhang Ren could hear the sound of the sword piercing the flesh. The sound came from behind him, and behind him was the tower that controlled the city gate!

Zhang Ren's eyelids twitched wildly, alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he hurried back.

A tall figure caught his eyes, almost covering all his vision.

The door was opened, and a burly warrior wearing a brocade robe of flowers and a yellow scarf stood inside the door, blocking all view.

The two soldiers leaned to the side of the gate, and dripping blood gushed out from the gap in their necks like a spring.

A soldier was being grabbed by the neck by the burly general. The soldier was wearing heavy armor and was not light, but in the hands of the burly general, it was as easy as lifting a child.

"alert!"

Zhang Ren was startled, and suddenly pulled out the ring-headed saber at his waist. On the city wall, all the soldiers of the Yizhou Army drew their sabers out of their sheaths one after another, facing the burly general wearing a yellow scarf.

One hundred to one, they clearly had the absolute upper hand, but an inexplicable fear still rose from Zhang Ren's heart. It was a fear buried deep in his heart. A ferocious tiger is staring at it.

The burly warrior seemed to have spotted Zhang Ren who was guarded by a group of soldiers.He threw the Yizhou army soldier who had been strangled to death by him on the ground like trash.

The general walked out of the gate, with the sound of footsteps, and right behind him, a group of yellow scarf soldiers wrapped in yellow scarves, black armor, and burqa belts came out from the tower.

A halberd with a strange shape and a heavy weight was lifted out of the tower by two soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and handed to the general.

The general took the halberd handed over from the side, and then shook it lightly. The heavy halberd seemed to be nothing in his hand, lifting the weight as if it were light.

The halberd was slowly lifted up, and the general held the halberd flat. The tip of the halberd was facing Zhang Ren, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and a palpitating killing intent suddenly rose above the city wall.

The fear in Zhang Ren's heart also reached its maximum at this time. Even though he had experienced hundreds of battles and killed more than a hundred enemies, he was still terrified after only one glance, just being glanced at.

It felt like being targeted by a demon god!

The new wind blows, the banners flutter, and above the city wall, everyone's ears are filled with the sound of hunting.

"The murderer is Jiuyuan Lu Bu."

Chapter 695 The oriole is behind

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sounded from the city, and this sound attracted Lu Bu's attention.

The soldiers of the Yizhou Army surrounded by Lu Bu saw that Lu Bu was distracted. They were veterans who had experienced many battles. The pressure Lu Bu put on them was too great. They all knew that this was the best time to act opportunity.

"call----!"

On Lu Bu's left side, a Yizhou army leader with feathers in his helmet let out a low growl, and slashed towards Lu Bu's face with a knife in his hand.

"kill!"

On the right, two soldiers of the Yizhou Army also stabbed straight at Lu Bu with the ring-swords in their hands. One of the two ring-shoulders stabbed at Lu Bu's face, and the other stabbed at Lu Bu's calf.

Lu Bu was wearing iron armor with a basin collar, and even his neck was well protected. The ring swords in their hands couldn't break through the armor at all.

Generally speaking, the best way to deal with enemies equipped with armor is to slap with long soldiers, break armor with blunt weapons, and stab at places without armor protection.

The armor of the Han Dynasty lacked protection for the forearm, neck, and legs.

Among the two characters of armor, armor refers to the armor that protects the body and other parts, while helmet refers to the helmet.

In the Han Dynasty, many of the helmets actually only had half a face, which could only protect the front of the head, but did not protect the back of the head. Now, whether it is the Han Army, the Wei Army, or the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command, most of the equipment is Such a "helmet".

Helmets that can cover the entire head are generally equipped for elite tribals and generals, because such helmets will be more expensive to manufacture, and simple "helmets" only need to connect iron pieces in series, and the process is much simpler.

The most famous sharp soldiers in the Han army, although their armor is heavy, their weaknesses lie in their calves and forearms, as well as their necks and faces.

The pot-collared iron armor Lu Bu was wearing was the general armor of the Han army. Although the protection was stronger and the neck protection was strengthened, there was no armor to protect the face door, and there were not many armors on the calves. protection.

However, the reason why no one stabbed his forearm is because Xu An began to popularize a piece of equipment among the Yellow Turban Army——"Ring Arm Iron Armor", the full name is: "Bound Type Horizontal Tie Iron Ring Arm Armor" ".

This kind of arm armor can effectively protect the soldiers' arms from being cut by swords.

Now the standard equipment of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army is to wear a Yanling knife or a ring-head knife on the waist, hang a crossbow quiver, carry a curved shield or a tower shield, and shoulder a long spear.

Wearing black iron breastplate, arms with ring arm iron armor, half face helmet on head, skirt armor underneath, half leg armor on back, half leg armor is similar to half face helmet, except that the front protection is woven by patches , belonging to Zhajia.

Although there are a lot of iron mines in the Taihang Mountains and a lot of workshops in the Taiping Road, the output is limited after all, and it takes time to make weapons, so the process should be simplified as much as possible.

The three of them moved together, and the first move was a killer move.

Lu Bu's eyes moved slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face.
