Outside Wei County Now there are countless soldiers gathering, still some distance away from the bow and arrow range of Wei Jun's defenders, and they are arranging their formations facing Wei Jun.
Black flags fluttered in the wind.
The forest of swords and spears exudes an icy aura under the sunlight.
It was just after deciding on the siege strategy.
The 150,000 Han troops rushing over and the dense crowd made people feel terrified.
When the Han army was gathering outside the city.
The defenders of Wei County were also arranged, each holding a sharp knife in his hand and standing on his position.
Even the 30,000 Yuan Army soldiers not far from the city gate also took a defensive posture.
Staring closely at the Han army not far away, the densely packed Han army came into view, like an endless sea.
The atmosphere also seemed very depressing.
In this sunny weather.
Many soldiers also had sweat on their foreheads, which was because they were nervous.
And on top of the city wall.
Yan Liang and Shen Pei also arrived at the first moment, and their eyes were also full of solemnity. from time to time The army led by Liu Qi has also been assembled.
They are lined up in square formations with great momentum and high morale.
Looking across from the defenders of Wei County.
Liu Qi rode out, looked at the city wall in the distance, and shouted: "Yan Liang, open the city gate and accept the surrender, so that you can avoid the disaster of swordsmanship."
"I am a general under the command of the King of Zhou.
If the King of Han wants to take over Wei County, just come.
Yan will never abandon the lord, and there is no need for the King of Han to say more," Yan Liang replied.
Liu Qi took a deep look at Yan Liang and said no more.
He also knew that if he continued, Yan Liang would not betray Yuan Shao.
In the end, fighting would be needed to resolve everything.
Everything still has to be done with fists.
Then he rode his horse back to the formation.
A big wave of his hand.
Five thousand soldiers holding shields in their hands, wearing heavy armor and with a knife hanging on their waists came out of the formation and lined up in front of the formation.
Behind each of them, there were two medium-sized wine jars hanging.
"kill" Liu Qi pointed the spear in his hand and shouted.
The five thousand soldiers did not hesitate at all.
When they were selected, they all knew what they had to do.
One by one, they held up the shields in their hands to form more than ten shield arrays.
Except for the gaps between the shields, they looked like a turtle shell.
More than a dozen shield formations leaned on those gaps and headed towards the city gate.
Not fast, but not slow either.
On top of the city wall.
Yan Liang and Shen Pei knew that the battle was about to begin when they saw Liu Qi turning around and returning to the formation.
But when he saw the five thousand Han troops holding shields walking out and then forming a shield array and heading towards the city gate, they couldn't figure out what Liu Qi wanted to do.
With just those 5,000 shield soldiers, even if they rush to the camp stationed outside the city gate, they will not be a match for the 30,000 soldiers, and they will not be able to capture the garrison outside the city gate. but.
No matter what, since Liu Qi launched an attack, they also need to defend.
Shen Pei's eyes were also shining with thought, thinking about what Liu Qi wanted to do.
After all, it was him who proposed to station 30,000 soldiers and horses at the city gate and then unite with the 40,000 soldiers in the city to defend. of.
In that case, if Liu Qi wants to forcefully attack the city, he must first capture the 30,000 defenders at the city gate.
However, with the support of the defenders in the city, if you want to forcefully capture the defenders at the city gate, you need to pay a certain price.
But Liu Qi's behavior made him unable to understand.

The most important thing is that if the defenders at the city gate are defeated and the strength of the Han army is not exhausted, it will be a great threat to them.
He couldn't help but worry.
"shoot arrows" When Shen Ping was meditating.
When Yan Liang saw more than ten shield formations entering the range of the bow and arrow, he did not hesitate at all and let the archers attack.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh Sharp arrows rose from the city wall and not far from the city gate, forming a dense rain of arrows and falling towards more than a dozen shield formations.
Both sides attack at the same time.
The arrows are like rain.
Ding, ding, ding A rain of arrows fell from mid-air, and the shimmering arrows fell on the shields like raindrops, making countless sounds.
Some were inserted on the shield, some fell on the surrounding open land, and some shot through the gaps into the shield array.
You can also hear the muffled sound coming from the shield array.
After all, such a dense rain of arrows is not airtight.
It is normal that a real turtle shell cannot completely block the rain of falling arrows.
But it is also difficult to see what is going on in the shield array. can be seen.
That is to say, just keep moving forward despite the rain of arrows.
Arrows rained, one after another.
However, the shield formation composed of five thousand Han soldiers did not stop.
They still approached the defenders at the city gate step by step at the same speed.
Wait for some distance.
You can also see the soldiers lying on the ground, obviously dead and injured.
The 30,000 Yuan troops at the city gate did not take the initiative to attack.
After all, they were ordered to stay here and unite with the soldiers on the city wall to defend.
Moreover, Yan Liang did not issue an order for them to take the initiative.
I could only look at the more than ten shield formations, slowly approaching. but.
The generals guarding outside the city gate also made preparations.
They not only asked the archers to shoot arrows, but also asked the other officers to prepare to meet the enemy.
Spend some time.
When more than a dozen shield formations approach, they will need to deal with the remaining Han troops.
On top of the city wall.
Yan Liang also frowned.
Although the arrow rain caused some damage to the Han army forming the shield formation, the effect was not too obvious.
In the end, we will definitely be able to get close to the defenders at the city gate.
And what puzzled him the most was that, apart from sending five thousand soldiers to form a shield formation, Liu Qi did not take any action, nor did he provide cover for more than a dozen shield formations, but watched quietly from behind.
It was as if those five thousand soldiers were sent to die. certainly.
He didn't think Liu Qi really just sent people to die.
There must be some plan or strategy involved.
The judge on the side also frowned, and was considering the key.
Time passed little by little.
More than a dozen shield formations, after leaving some corpses behind, braved the rain of arrows and almost approached the formation of Yuan's army outside the city gate.
Yuan Jun, who was not far from the city gate, was also ready to meet the enemy.
He just waited for the shield formation to disperse and launched a charge.
Right now.
The Han army has been motionless.
From the formation, a group of thousands of soldiers, carrying long bows and arrow pots, walked out.
Arriving in front of the formation, they lined up.
He took the longbow from his back, held it in his hand, squatted down, and got ready to shoot. and.

There were dozens of people holding torches, lighting them, and holding them in their hands.
The crouching archer also held a longbow in one hand, took out the arrow from the quiver behind his back with the other hand, put it on the longbow, and pulled it open.
The arrowhead seemed to be wrapped with something.
In the eyes of Yan Liang, Shen Pei, and many soldiers on the city wall.
In front of the Han army formation.
Dozens of soldiers holding lit torches also lit the arrows on the long bows of the archers who had already drawn them.
Obviously, the arrow was wrapped with something burning
