Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Liu Ye had already followed Jia Xu's suggestion and cut down the trees around the Jujube City and put them into the city to make rolling logs and arrows. Therefore, the surroundings of Jujube City were empty.

Therefore, although Xu He ordered the Yellow Turban thieves to cut down trees to make siege equipment such as ladders, the number of ladders was still small, so the Yellow Turban thieves were not crowded.

The ladder stood on top of the city wall of Jujube, and the eager yellow turban thief immediately used his hands and feet to climb towards the city wall.

"Rolling wood, stone!"

Seeing that the enemy began to attack the city, the Han army immediately picked up the rolling logs made a few days ago from behind. The two soldiers moved together and threw them down at the Yellow Turban who was attacking the city.

boom!

The leather shield on the Yellow Turban thief felt that it sank, and was immediately hit by a force of gravity, and fell down, and the robes under him were also smashed down by him.

Zhou Su frowned: "Archer, aim at the enemy and shoot."

When the Yellow Turban Archer saw this, he immediately aimed his arrow at the Han army above the city. The Han army who had appeared suddenly was targeted by the dense arrows, causing a lot of casualties.

With the suppression of the firepower of the Yellow Turban archers, the Han army suffered a lot of casualties. The pressure on the Yellow Turban siege was greatly reduced and they hurriedly climbed up.

The yellow turban thieves stepped onto the city’s head and were about to show their skills when the shield wall suddenly opened a row of gaps, and a group of more than a hundred soldiers suddenly rushed out from behind the shield wall.

These armored men were all draped, wearing iron armor, and holding swords and axes. They were the elite stepmen selected by Liu Ye's army.

"Kill all the Yellow Turban thieves in the upper city!"

More than a hundred soldiers rushed out, aiming at the yellow turban thief who was on the head of the city. The iron armor on these soldiers was invulnerable. They didn't need to defend at all. They only needed to concentrate on attacking. They were extremely brave and would immediately charge. The Yellow Turban thief who came up was killed.

However, more and more yellow turban thieves came up on the ladder. Gradually, the soldiers of the Han army also fell into fierce battles, and began to suffer casualties.

The total number of Han troops in the city is only more than 16,000, and a part of it is left as a reserve team. Only more than 3,000 people can be assigned to the four walls, which can be described as stretched.

The Yellow Turban thieves have a full 130,000 army, seven or eight times the number of the Han army in the city. The number of Yellow Turban thieves assigned to each wall has exceeded the total number of the Han army. It can be said that the Han army faces the defense. The city is under great pressure.

However, above Liu Ye's face, there was no worry at all, and he didn't seem to be worried.

Seeing the fierce battle between the two armies above the city, Xu He couldn't help laughing suddenly.

"Within three days, the city of Jujube must be captured!"

At this moment, there was a burst of horns from the east.

Xu He furrowed his brows, and immediately looked east, only to see a black line emerging from the horizon, and then his figure appeared. It turned out to be thousands of cavalry, under the banner of Pang and Horse.

Ma Chao and Pound led six thousand cavalry from a distance, and their horses shook the ground with a shocking momentum.

"The whole army obeys the order, not to assault the middle army and attack the Yellow Scarf under the head of the city!"

Ma Chao saw Xu He's Chinese army from a distance, with tens of thousands of people at the front and back. The defense was tight and the Chinese soldiers were well-equipped. If they attacked, they would suffer heavy damage.

The six thousand cavalry were the ambush soldiers of the Han army outside the city. Once the losses were too much, they would naturally not be able to contain the Yellow Turban thief.

Ma Chao and Pound were divided into two groups, running towards the east and north of Jujube City respectively, and their soldiers pointed directly at the Yellow Scarf Reserve under the city.

boom!

Thousands of iron knights easily smashed into the Yellow Turban thief's army with unparalleled impact power. The Xiliang iron knight raised the saber high and easily pierced the armor of the yellow turban thief, and the tall and strong war horse was in front of it. The yellow turban thief was hit and fractured.

Although these yellow turban thieves swept the Central Plains, they had never faced a large-scale formed cavalry. And Ma Chao-Pound led the Xiliang cavalry, which was known as the world's best, naturally could not resist.

The Yellow Turban thief’s preparatory siege troops were originally recharged and prepared to enter the siege battle later, but they were hit hard by the Xiliang cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

The Yellow Turban Thief’s reserve team was breached by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and was directly divided into left and right. Ma Chao did not stop. Instead, he raised a tiger-headed gun and pointed directly at the Yellow Turban thief’s archer.

"Kill! No orders from the general, no step back."

After Xiliang Iron Knight defeated the Yellow Turban Thief’s reserve force head-on, he continued to enter the Yellow Turban Thief’s archer army. The Yellow Turban Thief’s archer was launching arrows at the Han army on the city’s head, but Xiliang Iron Knight did not respond. Already like a huge war knife, it cut into the Yellow Turban thief archer's army fiercely and broke through in the middle.

The huge horseshoe kicked fiercely on the yellow turban thief, and the sharp saber cut the yellow turban thief into two.

The equipment of the Yellow Turban Archer is not as good as the pawn. The **** is used to siege and fall into battle. The **** is naturally draped, while the archer is a commoner. After all, the archer does not need to fight in close quarters, and Xu He has swept through Yanzhou, attacking the arsenal, but the armor is also limited after all. Naturally, priority should be given to the pawns, and the archers can only let them go for the time being.

Ma Chao took the tiger-headed Zhanjin gun to the left and right, as if he were in a land of no one among the Yellow Turban Archers, the Yellow Turban Archers were immediately killed.

As the Yellow Turban archers collapsed, the pressure on the Han Army above the city was greatly reduced. The Han Army archers were full of energy, and they shot at the Yellow Turban under the city, and the number of casualties increased. , The siege was immediately stopped.

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "General Ma is worthy of being a sergeant, leading the cavalry to fight, and the timing of the selection is really just right."

Ma Chao has been promoted from Xiaoli to Pian General because of his previous military exploits in defeating Sima Fen.

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, order the reserve team above the city to immediately counterattack and drive all the Yellow Turban thieves off the city!"

"No!" Guan Hai clasped his fists and walked down the city.

The sound of war drums in the city suddenly rose to the sky, and the signal was received. The reserve team in the city suddenly rushed to the head of the city with a knife and axe in hand, and merged with the armor.

With the strength of the reserve team, the defending army immediately boosted morale and went out in a rush. The Yellow Turban pawns under the city were suppressed by the strong arrow rain from the Han army and could not provide reinforcements. The Yellow Turbans immediately fell into a disadvantage. In the middle of the game, under the full attack of the Han army, they immediately retreated.

"Damn it, the enemy cavalry is bad for me!"

Xu He was furious, and his whip made a fierce noise in the air.
