The fire bolts ignited by the fire oil were fired at the wooden siege equipment and ignited immediately.Despite the tall siege machines, hundreds of archers fired at the same time, and on average, each siege machine was hit by at least dozens of fire arrows.These fire arrows lit with fire oil were contaminated with wooden engineering equipment and instantly devoured like flame spirits, and in an instant, the entire siege machine was on fire.Six of the eight siege equipment were burned by the fire arrows of the archers of the Chen Liu's defenders because of the pit groove, and the remaining two siege equipment were also not spared, because the size was too large and the object was too heavy, so it could not avoid the fire attack, but it was just an instant, and all the eight siege equipment were destroyed.As a result, the morale of the Zhao army in Chen Liucheng suddenly increased greatly, while the Cao army outside the city was discouraged one by one, and such a favorable siege equipment was burned by the enemy in an instant."
Give up the siege equipment, carry the long ladder and continue the siege.Don't forget that the enemy army has only a few thousand men and horses, and it can't resist the all-out attack of our army, and whoever can be the first to climb the city gate tower will be promoted to one level and rewarded with a hundred taels. ”Seeing that the morale of Army B had plummeted, Cheng Yu, the military advisor, suddenly shouted.It's just a reward and encouragement, and the morale of Cao Jun's generals is suddenly high, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards.Looking at the swarming Cao soldiers, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, and shouted loudly in Cheng Yu's tone: "Although there are many enemy soldiers, several engineering equipment have been burned by us, and we can completely resist the attack of the enemy army with the defensive position of the city wall."
Whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded with a piece of money and silver, and those who kill a large number of enemy troops will be promoted to three ranks, with a reward of one hundred taels and a mansion. ”If Cheng Yu intends to motivate the soldiers of the Cao army with a brave man under the heavy reward, then Zhao Yu is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and then dropping heavier reward bombs to stimulate the Zhao army defending the city.As long as you kill one person, you can be rewarded with money and silver, and those who kill the most enemies will not only be promoted to three levels, but also have a bounty of one hundred taels and a mansion, which is the biggest turning point in the lives of these ordinary soldiers.In the face of such a huge temptation, the morale of all the Zhao soldiers on the city wall was unprecedentedly high, which in turn overwhelmed the fighting spirit of the Cao army.The most common siege battle is that the besieging side builds the city wall with a long ladder, and then countless brave soldiers begin to climb, using the tactics of crowds to storm the defenders on the city wall, once the slightest carelessness may make the besieging side break through, thus disrupting the defensive line.As the defender of the city, the easiest way is to use long-range bows and arrows to drive away the enemy army, which is also the most effective way to reduce the threat of the enemy army and reduce the casualties of the second army.Facing the attack of tens of thousands of Cao's army, hundreds of archers on Chen Liucheng divided into two groups to take turns to shoot bows, sniping at the enemy's march with alternate bow techniques.While bows and arrows are very damaging and sniper at medium and long ranges, they can't shoot as fast as enemy soldiers can run and climb.If a few archers fail to shoot in a hurry, or if some enemy soldiers are sharp enough to dodge the bow, the progress between the two will be shortened, but it can be a great threat to the defenders.However, this time, under Zhao Yu's arrangement, this kind of loophole will be considered by Zhao Yu.Just when some agile Cao soldiers climbed the long ladder one after another, a black shadow suddenly appeared above their heads, and before they could react, they only felt an inexplicable pressure coming.Then I heard a scream, and a large rock fell from above, directly hitting the head of the person who was climbing on top.In the face of the sudden drop of the boulder, no one in the air can stop it, when the top of the ladder falls, the people who climb behind it are naturally unable to dodge, and all the people who run down in a row fall down.If you are lucky, someone will have a cushion on your back, and if you are unlucky, you will be half-crippled and hit by a boulder.However, it is a pity that the number of these stones is still very limited, although Zhao Yu had asked people to start preparing in advance before, but the large stones still occupy a lot of space, but in a moment, there are not many stones left on the city tower."
Hurry, retreat.Deliver all these things to the castle tower. ”Just as everyone was directing the battle on the city tower, suddenly a sound sounded in the city behind them, which couldn't help but attract everyone's attention.I didn't know when, a large number of people came, and they all pushed carriages and carts towards the city gate.Seeing that those people were approaching, the sergeant Huang who was in charge of duty below hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Stop, who are you, the enemy army is attacking the city at this moment, and it is very dangerous to approach here." ”One of the civilians stood up and bowed his hand to the sergeants and said, "General Hui, we have no ill will.This time, I heard that Cao's army was preparing to wash Chen Liucheng in blood, and that Lord Zhao dared to fight against Cao Cao's 10,000-strong army with more than 1,000 troops, and our people in Chen Liucheng were very moved.A few days ago, we saw that the soldiers in the army collected stones and carried them on the city wall, so we guessed that it was to prevent the Cao army from attacking the city, and today we heard that there were Cao army's men and horses coming to attack, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.Therefore, the people in our city spontaneously went to the back mountain to collect some large stones and gravel and transported them, hoping to help King Zhao and the military masters resist the Cao army. ”The people's words were not loud, but they were clear and loud, Zhao Yu and the others naturally heard them clearly, only to see Zhao Yu standing on the city gate and shouting at those people.After gathering everyone's attention, I saw Zhao Yu arching his hand at the people below and said: "These fellows, I, Zhao Yu, am here to replace the soldiers of the three armies, thank you for your kindness."
If you don't give up, I hope you can help carry these stones, our soldiers are at a critical moment at this moment, and they really can't spare their hands to carry these stones. ”Zhao Yu's simple move was unimaginable in the eyes of those ordinary people.Just imagine that the current Han Dynasty King Zhao gave a salute to the ordinary people, which somewhat made those people dare not accept, only to listen to the people led by Zhao Yu After hearing Zhao Yu's words, he hurriedly said to the people behind him when he was slightly stunned: "Everyone quickly move the things on the car and help Lord Zhao Wang repel the enemy army." ”As he spoke, the man took the lead in carrying a large boulder from the carriage to the gate tower, and placed them at the feet of the defenders so that they could be used conveniently.The people carried stones, and the soldiers defending the city threw boulders while shooting arrows, so that the Cao army did not have the slightest chance to climb the city wall.These stones can be large and small, and the large and heavy stones may be able to kill people, but some of them can only severely damage or injure the enemy, but they cannot kill the enemy, but these are enough to stop the enemy from attacking the city.However, in the time of the three pillars of incense, all the stones were moved, and looking at the dense stones placed on the city wall, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile.first clasped his fists at those people, and then shouted at the soldiers around him: "Now that the people in the city are united with us to fight against the Cao army, all the soldiers swear to live and die with Chen Liu, and must not let a single Cao soldier enter the city, otherwise the Cao army will definitely slaughter the city by the means of the Cao army." ”In an instant, the morale of the soldiers was once again high because of the assistance of those people.In fact, Zhao Yu's remarks are somewhat watery, and the reason why Zhao Yu said that Cao Jun would slaughter the city is nothing more than to dispel the hearts of all the soldiers who will surrender and save their lives if they fail to defend the city.Once the soldiers learned that even if they surrendered, they would die, so it was better to give it their all to stop Cao's army, but if they could hold it, they would be rewarded for their exploits.And when those people were carrying the last batch of stones to the city gate tower, they looked at the surging tide of Cao soldiers below and suddenly became anxious, it was not unheard of Cao Jun's slaughter of the city before.This time, with Zhao Yu's rendering, everyone was afraid, afraid that after the Cao army won the battle, they would recapture Chen Liu and slaughter the city."
Folks, once the Cao army captures Chenliu, we will all be killed, so it's better to stay together and fight the Cao soldiers."
Suddenly, one person spoke, and everyone followed the reputation, but it was Liu Hao, the son of the Liu family who had been saved by Dian Wei.I saw that he followed the ranks of the people carrying stones, and saw that this time the organization called on the people to transport stones because of this guy.Looking at the thousands of Cao soldiers under the city, Liu Hao was not afraid, but could not hide a trace of excitement.However, seeing that the strength of the Zhao army of the second army was so effective, Liu Hao couldn't help but look at those people and suddenly said."
But we don't know how to fight, and we don't have weapons in our hands."
Hearing Liu Hao's words, some people couldn't help but be moved, but some people were embarrassed.Liu Hao said without hesitation: "It's not a difficult thing, some of us are from Orion, so naturally we can shoot with a bow."
All those who could shoot with a bow were responsible for shooting the enemy with the archers of the Zhao army, while others who could not shoot with a bow were responsible for throwing stones to prevent the Cao soldiers from climbing over the walls. ”As soon as Liu Hao fell, more than a dozen people who claimed to be from Orion recommended themselves to Zhao Yu, planning to pick up bows and arrows and go into battle to surround Chen Liu and surround their homes, and Zhao Yu was also willing to give these people the opportunity to help defend the city together.In addition, there were some people with greater strength who walked directly into the city gate tower, picked up the stones on the ground and began to throw them down, so that the participation of these people not only boosted the morale and morale of the army, but also somewhat relieved the pressure of some soldiers.Seeing that some of the people joined the ranks of the battle and defended the city, those who could not participate in it couldn't help but complain to Liu Hao: "Liu Hao, this archer and stone-throwing wrestler are available, what do you let us do, we don't know how to bow and arrow, and second, don't we have so much strength, can't we help at all, we also have a heart to guard Chen Liu." ”:
