In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the night in Youzhou is particularly cold.
The soldiers on Jicheng were full of tiredness, yawning from time to time, and the breath they exhaled turned into a white mist.
Rao is that they are all wearing cotton clothes, but their feet are also frozen and frozen, and they stomp their feet from time to time and curse a few words.
"Damn, in such a cold weather, this group of thieves is freezing to death," a soldier scolded viciously.
"When Daihou's reinforcements arrive, Lao Tzu will have to kill a few out of the city to relieve his hatred," another soldier also scolded hatefully.
"Alas, now Youzhou is being attacked on three sides, and the Daihou has always implemented the policy of elite soldiers, and the number of troops is only tens of thousands, and they have all been dispersed, and I am afraid that there are not many troops to come back, even if they send Bai Ma Yi back, they can't be ten with one" someone sighed pessimistically.
"Since the Dai Hou led the army, he has not tasted a defeat, the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people and the Gongsun Du of the year, which is not a cavalry over 50,000 and how the Dai Hou is a god of heaven came into the world, how can you wait to ignore it" Some people are full of confidence.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold out until the Hou returns to help."
A Wu Chang said worriedly.
The whole city fell silent.
The defenders of Jicheng are only 3,000, and in the face of more than ten times the enemy, it is really unknown whether they can hold it until tomorrow.
Thundered An earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded under the city, like a river pouring down the ground, and the whole ground trembled, startling the Youzhou defenders on the city tower in chaos.
"The enemy is attacking at night, blow the trumpet quickly," the tower guard shouted.
Woooooooo The trumpets on the castle tower sounded loudly, and the defenders took up their big yellow crossbows and set up the battlements.
Ready to release the arrows, the soldiers in charge of rocks and logs are also ready to go.
Ready.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Fei, who was in charge of guarding at night, also hurriedly picked up his knife and rushed up to the city tower.
Strode to the middle of the tower, and behind him lit countless bright torches, illuminating the city within dozens of steps.
I saw countless Bingzhou cavalry surging under the city like a tide, and the soldiers in the front row were all holding big shields, followed by dense cavalry like dark clouds, and they were about to rush to the city.
"What the hell are these people from Bingzhou doing, they didn't even bring siege equipment, so they rushed down to the city, do they want to fly up on horseback" A military marquis next to him saw the fame.
Bang bang bang As soon as the words fell, the cavalry who rushed to the bottom of the city tower suddenly threw a cloud of black things in their hands and threw them into the city.
Then they quickly withdrew to both sides, and then the cavalry that was galloping behind them followed suit, throwing out clouds of black shadows, and then retreating to both sides.
"It's a dirt bag, they want to pile up dirt to attack the city" Yan Fei was shocked.
The siege of the city is indeed suitable for the extremely fast cavalry of the state, and the transportation speed is fast with the assistance of horsepower, and the speed of delivery is also fast, but in the blink of an eye.
Under the city, a layer of dirt was spread on the ground on both sides of the gate.
"What the hell is it, shoot it for Lao Tzu" Yan Fei scolded viciously.
Woohoo Crossbow arrows rained down, but the defenders under the city tower braved the rain of arrows.
Still desperately throwing dirt bags under the city, the dirt bags under the city tower are thrown more and more, and gradually piled up more than one person high.
However, the rain of arrows on the castle tower became more and more violent.
The Bingzhou cavalry behind them no longer came, and they all retreated.
Yan Fei exhaled softly.
Boom, boom, boom When the defenders who were anxious to be on the castle tower were relieved, suddenly dozens of black shadows burst into the sky.
With a huge sound of the wind, he went straight to the castle tower.
"Trebuchet, hide," someone exclaimed.
Huge stones burst in, some smashed on the city wall, some even flew over the city head to the city, and a small part smashed into the Youzhou army on the city tower, smashing screams to the sky.
Just when the defenders were so frightened that they were lying under the battlements to avoid the boulders, the sound of horses' hooves under the castle tower was loud again, and they rushed like a tide.
By the time the defenders raised their heads and were ready to release their arrows, the Bingzhou cavalry who had thrown the dirt bags had already galloped back, and then the trebuchets fired stones and bombarded the city.
In this way, a slope was piled up under the castle tower, and after the slope was piled up, those soldiers of the state no longer simply threw dirt bags, but half of them put dirt bags, and half of them were sandwiched in the cavalry group and shot arrows at the city tower to suppress the city tower.
When the slope of Jicheng was piled up to more than two zhang high, the defenders on the city tower and the defenders on the city tower had become even in attack, and the black and suppressed Bingzhou cavalry were copying the city head and releasing arrows, while methodically piling up dirt bags, piling up the passage under the city tower higher and higher.
On the tower of the city, Wu Ming had already arrived with reinforcements, and almost more than eighty percent of the defenders of Youzhou had gathered over, desperately shooting crossbow arrows at the city.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows, release the arrows" Yan Fei was furious, and hissed and ordered his subordinates to release arrows against the city. shout A sharp arrow was shooting into the shoulder of Yan Fei, who was roaring loudly, and the shoulder penetrated into the flesh and bones, and Yan Fei almost fell to the ground in pain, and a wave of endless sadness surged into his heart, at this moment he knew that this Jicheng was determined to be unable to defend it.
Yan Fei pulled out the arrow on his shoulder fiercely, and blood rushed out instantly, but he didn't realize it, turned around and shouted angrily to Wu Ming: "Wu Ming, you fucking retreat from the south gate with the Taifu family, here Lao Tzu is on top, don't mistake the Taifu" Wu Ming hurriedly said: "You're fucking injured, let Lao Tzu guard here, you go and take the Taifu to retreat" "Fuck off, when Lao Tzu was a military marquis, you were still a hundred generals, when will it be your turn to command Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you" Yan Fei scolded angrily.
Wu Ming no longer insisted, and hugged Yan Fei: "Lao Yan, Lao Tzu will go first, don't be too reckless, if you can't stand it, you will retreat, Lao Tzu is waiting for you to drink in Yicheng" After speaking, he led hundreds of Youzhou soldiers to run down the city tower.
The mound of earth is piled higher and higher, and most of the defenders of Youzhou on the city tower have been killed and wounded, and the rest can only lie under the battlements and shoot arrows below, and no one dares to come out from the battlements, so that the speed of the state army to fill the city is faster.
With the rapid increase in the height of the slope, the defenders on the city tower died one after another, and there were only a few hundred of the more than two thousand defenders left, and Yan Fei had already been hit by six or seven arrows.

Although it is not a vital point, it is also bloody.
But he still kept firing arrows downward.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows in the quiver had been released, he groped around.
He found another wolf's tooth arrow, loaded it with a crossbow, and shot it at a military horse who rushed forward.
The power of the seven-stone rhubarb crossbow can not be compared to ordinary bows and arrows, only the sound of breaking through the air can be heard, the arrow is like a meteor, right in the chest of the military Sima, strong strength, breaking through the protection of thick armor.
Through the chest, the army Sima Deng fell to the city.
Yuan Tan under the city tower was furious and shouted: "Nobody, how dare you be so arrogant" After speaking, he urged the horse to get off his hip, rode up the slope, stood in the crowd, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at Yan Fei, who had just emerged on the battlement. burst The arrow hit Yan Fei's face, and the seven-stone crossbow fell suddenly.
Yan Fei's majestic body slowly fell.
Ho The cheers under the city tower were like thunder, and the soldiers of the state shouted in unison, "The eldest prince is mighty", and Yuan Tan on horseback was even more proud.
At this moment, a detective came to report urgently: "The eldest prince of Qiyu."
The enemy general Wu Ming and Taifu Liu Yu have fled from the south gate. ” Yuan Tan's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly shouted: "Lu Xiang."
You rode three thousand horses to the south gate.
Be sure to catch up with Liu Yu and bring him back unscathed.
The rest can be caught, and if they can, they will be killed."
At the south gate of Jicheng, Wu Ming led more than 100 cavalry and hurriedly rushed south surrounded by troikas.
On the carriage sat Liu Yu and his family.
Thundered The sound of horses' hooves behind him was loud, and Yuan Tan's subordinate Lu Xiang had already brought three thousand elite horses, rolling over, chasing after him.
The two military horses chased and fled, and they were already six or seven miles away from the city, but the speed of the carriage was a little slower after all, especially when the ground encountered recesses and stones from time to time, the carriage was bumped and turned over, and they did not dare to gallop at all at high speed.
As a result, the enemy pursued closer and closer, and it was now four or five hundred paces away.
Wu Ming hurriedly turned around and shouted to the carriage behind him: "Taifu, the matter is urgent, can you please get off the carriage and ride the horse, and run to Yicheng with the last general."
Who knew that Liu Yu in the carriage was not like his ancestor Liu Bang, who did not hesitate to push his wife and children down for his own life, and resolutely refused to abandon his family and flee.
Wu Ming had no choice but to urge the soldiers who were driving the horses to run away.
Seeing that the two armies were getting closer and closer, Lu Xiang's spirit was greatly lifted, and with a raise of his spear, he led hundreds of the most elite cavalry to increase the speed of the horse under his crotch to the extreme, and in an instant, he had already whistled past Wu Ming and the others, stopping in front.
Immediately afterwards, the Bingzhou cavalry behind had already surrounded everyone.
Lu Xiang shook the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Wu Ming, if you don't get off the horse quickly, you will surrender and summon the Taifu, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried."
Wu Ming was furious: "How can you dare to say such a big thing" After saying that, he slapped the horse and danced the knife, and went straight to Lu Xiang, in this situation, only by taking Lu Xiang could he break through.
The two horses were as fast as the wind, and they quickly fought together with a knife and a gun.
Hula-la The cavalry of the state swarmed up and besieged the Youzhou cavalry in the field.
The morning sun is like blood, and the glow is sprinkled on the Yanzhao Plain, which is red.
A white cloud emerged in the sky, and as it approached, it was recognizable as thousands of white-horse cavalry galloping towards it.
The white horse is like the wind, and the white clothes are like snow, which is the white horse's righteous servant Drive, drive, drive The white horses on horseback were all covered in dust, urging those horses to fly quickly, from Yicheng to Jicheng, they hardly rested.
Those white horse righteous soldiers, all one person and two horses, although galloping, but all the way to change horses, but not very tired, and Gongsun Bai and Zhao Yuncrotch are riding a divine horse, and they are only slightly tired.
The cavalry on horseback were all elite soldiers, and although they had been running long distances and had not slept for a long time, they were still in good spirits.
Gongsun Bai, who was at the forefront of the army, was so anxious that he couldn't wait to ride away and enter Jicheng alone.
Because he knew what the destruction of Jicheng would mean to him.
Liu Yu is his biggest political bargaining chip, once Liu Yu is captured by Yuan Shao, he will be extremely passive, and secondly, once Jicheng is broken, he will be attacked by the enemy, it is difficult to withstand the attack of Yuan Shao's more than 200,000 troops, and it is very likely to lose the land of Youzhou.
"There is someone in front," Zhao Yun behind him suddenly shouted.
In the morning glow, a horse galloped forward with an armored general, who seemed to be seriously wounded, and his body was almost lying on the horse's back.
"Seems to be our people" Gongsun Bai's heart sank, and he hurriedly urged the flying blood god horse under his crotch, and rushed over like a meteor.
S: Chapter 201 has been modified, adding a description of trebuchets, and the other has been modified to say that this state cavalry is just an ordinary cavalry, not the legendary elite cavalry and state wolf cavalry.
