The Wuling army brazenly launched an attack on Puyang, and at the head of the city, Yuan Xi was almost stunned by Pu Yuan's cannons.
This second son of the Yuan family, without the eldest brother Yuan Tan and the third brother Yuan Shang, is so aggressive, it is already very rare to be able to keep not running down the city tower.
When the soldiers under his command saw that he insisted on defending on the city tower, they were all gritting their teeth and insisting, and I have to say that the state of the main general is the main factor affecting the soldiers The shelling lasted for a quarter of an hour, the Puyang city wall was not very tall, such a sharp attack, there had been a lot of collapses, these blown out gaps, will be the key point of the Wuling army's impact.
Ma Chao led 20,000 cavalry to stand on horseback not far away, and he was waiting for Dongfang to open the gate of Puyang for them "General Zhang Liao, lead the troops to attack the city" Among the Chinese army, Dongfang Qiang ordered.
"The last general obeys the order" Zhang Liao gave his hand to receive the order.
Although he and Dongfang Qiang are the same commanders, how to say that the war on Puyang's side is still dominated by Dongfang Qiang.
Moreover, Dongfang Qiang is the chief general of the Vermilion Bird Legion, and Zhang Liao is the deputy general, and he is also used to acting according to orders.
Zhang Liao, who received the order, immediately commanded the infantry to advance towards Puyang City With the cover of a giant crossbow and a catapult, plus the shield carried by the foot soldiers in front, Zhang Liao quickly came to the city of Puyang without paying any price "Take the ladder and rush the orange hammer to Ben to knock open the city gate" Without any hesitation, Zhang Liao gave the order to siege the city "Kill" The soldiers let out a roar and rushed forward with the ladder on their shoulders At this time, the Yuan army defending the city was under Yuan Xi's strong order, and the soldiers who began to launch a counterattack and ran wildly were sometimes knocked to the ground by Yuan's arrow shooters, but as long as they could run, they would not stop The attack of the Wuling army was ferocious, and for the Yuan army, the wave of attack of the Wuling army was like a storm, which caught them off guard "There are more people in the gap over there, and the enemy can't be allowed to enter" "Drop everything you can and kill them" "What are the archers doing again, don't be afraid to die and shoot me back" Yuan Xi ran back and forth on the city, he was in a hurry, afraid that the Wuling army would attack The city tower he was in had now collapsed, and under the protection of his personal guards, he also took out the appearance of the son of the Yuan family, drew his sword, and defended the city with the soldiers Just now, he stabbed a Wuling army soldier to death with a sword, which stimulated his enthusiasm for fighting "Childe be careful" A personal guard stepped in front of Yuan Xi with an arrow and blocked an arrow for Yuan Xi "Archer, counterattack counterattack" Yuan Xi glanced at the guard and immediately said angrily If there were no guards to block him, and the arrow hit his weak body, it would have been fine Anger surged, Yuan Xi frantically ordered the Yuan army to fight back, and the siege soldiers under Zhang Liao suddenly suffered relatively large losses.
Dongfang Qiang saw the scene of Yuan Jun's return, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, as long as he exerted his strength again, he should have gains.
"Is the gunpowder pack ready?"
Dongfang Qiang asked.
"General, the bombing squad is ready," replied the general.
"Okay, immediately step forward, blow open the city gates, and let the cavalry enter the city," Dongfang Qiang ordered.
Blowing up the city gate with a gunpowder bag was used by Wu Shun as early as the battle with Cao's army.
Now Yuan Jun's enthusiasm for counterattacking is high, but on the side, Zhang Liao has firmly attracted Yuan Jun's attention.
This creates an opportunity for the squad carrying the gunpowder bag to break through the city as soon as it is transported to the gate or corner of the city as long as it is not noticed by the enemy and does not carry the fire on its back.
It's just that the power of gunpowder is effective, so it needs a team to transport, and the target is still very large on the battlefield.
Let the enemy see that the priority will be to concentrate fire on the soldiers transporting gunpowder.
However, now that Zhang Liao has attracted the attention of Yuan Jun, at this time, the team sent by Dongfang Qiang to transport gunpowder is mixed in the infantry phalanx, and there is an activation to conceal the past.
After receiving the order, the gunpowder squad immediately carried the gunpowder bag and blended into the phalanx of foot soldiers preparing to attack the city, and the task of these foot soldiers was no longer to reinforce, but to protect these people.
Zhang Liao was still attacking, and the gunpowder team successfully transported the gunpowder to the city gate, and after the yard was placed, the soldiers withdrew the orange hammer, ignited the fuse, and all the nearby soldiers retreated to both sides "Not good" Yuan Xi saw the actions of the Wuling Army below the city, and suddenly remembered something. rumble There was a loud bang, and Yuan Xi was shocked to the ground The soldiers of Yuan were also shaken by the shaking city wall The power of gunpowder was sufficient, and the city gate of Puyang was directly blown away, and the ladder on the city wall of the Wuling army was also knocked down, but this was no longer important.
After the smoke of gunpowder, 20,000 Xiliang Tie came on horseback "Go down and stop them" Yuan Xi finally got up, and when he saw Ma Chao rushing over with the cavalry, he was very anxious.
"Third son, the foot soldiers of the Wuling Army entered the city first, we need support" A general rushed up from inside the city and told Yuan Xi the bad news.
"The Wuling army entered the city, did Puyang fall like this, but we have 30,000 people, and 30,000 people can't hold just one Puyang" Yuan Xi was furious, there were 30,000 under his command alone, and the Wuling army broke through the city on the first day of attack "Third prince, the weapons of the Wuling Army are sharp, and the city gate is blocked by non-human beings who have been blown open.
There are 20,000 troops in the city, and Puyang can still be defended," the general said.
He is a good general, and now he is with Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi treats them well, so she is still desperately resisting when the Puyang City Gate is breached.
The city gate was opened, and Zhang Liao's attack direction was of course also the city gate, because Ma Chao had not yet arrived, and Zhang Liao needed to occupy the city gate first.
When Ma Chao rushes in, they can start to expand the range of attack.
Zhang Liao's martial arts are strong, the soldiers of the Yuan army can't resist, and the city gate area has been stabilized by the Wuling army.
Yuan Xi also knew that he could not let the Wuling army go on so unscrupulously, if Puyang was occupied, the Muye defense line would be broken, and the defenders of Liyang and Muye would also become decorations.
"Go, go down" Yuan Xi made a decision, he wanted to go down to withstand the pressure brought by the Wuling Army.
He knows very well that the reason why the soldiers have not retreated until now is that he is still here and still persevering.
Seeing that Yuan Xi had made up his mind, the generals seemed to have found the backbone, and the ashes on their faces were swept away.
"Let's go, beat the Wuling army out," the generals of the Yuan army shouted.
In Puyang City, Zhang Liao wanted to go deeper, but Yuan Xi arrived in time, and the morale of the Yuan army soared, and the Wuling army could not attack it at once.
Fortunately, the sound of horses' hooves has reached the outside of the city "Array, prepare to intercept the local cavalry," Yuan Xi ordered.
Under Yuan Xi's order, they quickly lined up a dense battle formation, ready to withstand the cavalry of the Wuling Army who rushed in immediately
