Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

"volley!"

Xiliang Iron Cavalry was covered by another round of arrow rain. The Yellow Turban thief who had been prepared hurriedly raised the big shield to defend the enemy's arrow rain.

Zhou Su hurriedly shouted: "The archer is fighting back!"

The archers among the Yellow Turban thieves opened their bows and arrows, and volleyed back. Seeing the Yellow Turban thief open a bow and let out an arrow, Supernatural Ma will not resist, so he led Xiliang Iron Cavaliers to turn around and leave.

But the Yellow Turban Archer just finished placing the arrows, the Xiliang cavalry immediately resembled a tarsal maggot, sticking to it indomitably, and from time to time it would place a round of arrows. Even if the Yellow Turban used a shield to defend, there were hundreds of people. Casualties.

Zhou Su was quite annoyed, because Xiliang cavalry came to invade, so naturally he couldn't dig trenches. Once the trenches were dug, he naturally gave Xiliang cavalry a chance.

And Ma Chao is not irritable, just staring at the enemy from a distance. Once the enemy slack off a little, he immediately rushes up. Besides, it is a round of arrow rain covering, making a long-range strike. Once the enemy archer wants to fight back, he immediately turns around Then retreat, never entangled.

With a hungry wolf like Ma Chao staring at any time from a distance, Zhou Su's efforts to dig trenches were naturally wasted. Zhou Su was also afraid of the Xiliang cavalry group charging, so he ordered the entire army to line up tightly without any slack.

The two armies faced off for a while, Xiliang's iron cavalry was not arrogant or impetuous, but the tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves were a little unable to sustain the battle.

"Zhou Shuai, Xu Shuai ordered the whole army to withdraw to the camp. I'll talk about it later."

When Zhou Su was anxious, he suddenly galloped out of the middle army, and Zhou Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"The whole army listens to the order, maintains the formation and slowly withdraws to the camp, and must not mess up the formation!"

Hearing Zhou Su's order, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves maintained a tight formation and slowly retreated back.

Ma Chao led the Xiliang Iron Horse, stepping forward until the Yellow Turban thief completely retreated into the camp, and Ma Chao shook his head.

Looking at the empty quiver behind, Ma Chao rushed to the bottom of Jujube City and said loudly: "General, our army is running out of arrows, please open the gate and send some arrows out."

The Han army had already cut down the trees near the Jujube city. Now the city is filled with wood almost everywhere, and Liu Ye is mobilizing the residents of the city. Nothing else, just making rolling logs and arrows. The arrow reserve in the small town has reached hundreds of thousands.

Hearing Ma Chao’s request, Liu Ye immediately ordered the city gate to be opened. Guan Hai escorted more than a dozen carts and sent thousands of quiver pots out. The Xiliang cavalry who had already shot the arrows behind them all carried new ones on their backs. Quiver.

After that, more than five thousand Xiliang cavalry left in a hurry.

In the evening, 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves escorted many trees from other places to make siege equipment. In the army account, Xu He cursed Zhou Su.

"fool!"

Xu He pinched his waist with both hands, furious.

"You are so stupid that you won't block the enemy with antlers and horses, and then continue to build?"

Zhou Su said in a low voice: "Xu Shuai, our army might as well take advantage of the night, when the enemy is resting, and use the night to dig trenches, so there is no need to worry about the enemy taking the opportunity to attack."

Xu He was furious and snorted: "Fall! In that case, just listen to you, you will lead the man to dig trenches, and supervise the construction of siege equipment by the way. The Japanese commander must attack the city!"

Zhou Su hurriedly agreed: "Xu Shuai please rest assured, the villain will do it now."

After all, Zhou Su hurriedly walked out of the Central Army's tent, leading the soldiers overnight, supervising the construction of siege equipment and digging trenches.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Su quarreled. Although tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves had complaints, they did not dare to object and had to obey Zhou Su's orders.

Xu He gave Zhou Su 50,000 horses. Zhou Su ordered 20,000 soldiers to supervise the construction of siege equipment. The remaining 30,000 horses dug three trenches. Although Jujube City is not big, it is also a city surrounded by it. The amount of work to dig a trench in one mile is not small. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban thieves are numerous and powerful, with a whole night's effort, and finally three trenches have been dug.

As the sun slowly rose, Zhou Su was finally relieved.

"General, it seems that the enemy is rushing to work overnight. I'm afraid it will be bad now." Jia Xu frowned as he stared outside the city.

Looking around, Liu Ye couldn't help but be shocked.

Only half a mile, one mile, and one and a half miles away from Suanzao City, each has a trench two feet deep and one foot wide, which surrounds Suanzao City exactly three times, one ring and one ring.

The three trenches are interlocking, as if the gods in the sky stretched out their swords and drew three circles on the ground.

It was Liu Ye who had to admit that the power of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thief was really not to be underestimated. No wonder Yugong moves mountains, as long as there are enough people, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea is really nothing.

"Go out and prepare to attack the city!"

Woo!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The desolate horns of horns and the sound of war drums that shake the earth suddenly sounded, and more than one hundred thousand yellow turban thieves slowly came out of the camp, like a giant dragon crawling out of the cave, trying to stretch their muscles.

Liu Ye's brows sank, and he raised his hand and said, "The whole army listens to the order and prepares to fight."

The Han army above the head of the city also saw the three trenches dug under the head of the city by the Yellow Turban thieves. They also knew that this time the enemy's attack on the city was not trivial, so they all cheered up and prepared to fight.

I saw that from the Yellow Turban Bandit Camp, dozens of aerial ladders and more than a dozen brand-new siege vehicles were launched. Obviously, they were just supervised and built, but they were quite different from yesterday.

Perhaps after hearing the sound of war drums in the Yellow Turban thief army, Ma Chao led the Xiliang cavalry, galloping from a distance, but his complexion changed.

"Meng Qi, it seems that the enemy took the opportunity to dig a trench last night, and our army made a mistake." Pound's face sank and shook his head.

Ma Chao snorted: "Humph! Although this group of Yellow Turban thieves have many ways, they dare not fight with our army, they only know how to use these ghosts."

Pound worried: "The enemy has dug three trenches, and in the trenches are the enemy's anti-horse and antlers. The Xiliang cavalry has greatly reduced the containment of the enemy."

Ma Chao didn't say a word. After a long time, his face was firm and he said: "Nevertheless, our army can't just watch it. A certain rate of half of the troops is here to guard the enemy and take the opportunity to harass."

"Ling Ming, you led three thousand iron knights to inspect the Yellow Turban thieves' food transport troops. Since our army cannot directly harass the enemy army, then intercept their food and grass and trap these Yellow Turban thieves to death here."

Pound nodded: "Okay, discipline these Yellow Turban thieves whether they have gone or not!"

After all, more than five thousand Xiliang cavalry were divided into two, Ma Chao led his army to garrison outside the three trenches, and Pound was the leader.

At the time when Liu Ye fought Xu He Zhongyuan, the world has undergone tremendous changes.
