Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 179: Defending the City

Zhang Fei had a great time killing and experienced the thrill of a cavalry charge. At this time, he had a feeling that if he had three thousand cavalry under his command, he would definitely be able to defeat Cao Jun. This is the confidence brought by the strength of the cavalry.

, Liu Bei has been stationed in a small place like the plain before, with no more than 10,000 soldiers, and war horses can only be owned by generals in the army. As for the cavalry, it is only in imagination that these cavalry are still the heritage of Xuzhou.

Xu Chu's face was ashen as he stared at Zhang Fei who was like a murderer on the battlefield, he shouted loudly, held a long sword in his hand, and rode towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei also discovered Xu Chu at the first time. This was not the first time the two had fought each other. When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous and clapped their horses to greet him.

Both of them are good at martial arts. Once they fight, they basically ignore the fighting situation of the soldiers. Of course, Xu Chu has absolute confidence in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. As for Zhang Fei, he takes single combat more seriously.

You come and go, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty days have passed. Zhang Fei, who was immersed in the battle, suddenly remembered that he was among Cao's army at this time, and he didn't know what happened to the cavalry under his command. He glanced around and was shocked.

Of the nearly five hundred cavalrymen, there were probably only about two hundred at this time. Faced with the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry, many cavalrymen turned around and ran away, completely disregarding their image.

Zhang Fei was happy, but the cavalry who followed him were miserable. To them, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were ruthless characters, synonymous with superb riding skills and strong martial arts. They were just improvised cavalry.

When fighting with the wind, it's okay to bully the infantry, but when the cavalry fights with real swords and spears, it's scary.

"Wait until the next day, I'll see grandpa come back to take your life." Zhang Fei shouted and rode his horse to retreat into the city.

Xu Chu led his men to fight for a while, but saw arrows flying on the city. Guan Yu led his troops out to respond, so he had to lead his cavalry to retreat.

Although half of the cavalry was lost, the defenders went out to fight Cao Jun, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders. For days, they had been passively defending, watching the moat being filled in. They needed a lot of help.

A victory.

Regardless of the morale of the defenders in the city, Cao's army began to attack the city, encircling three and missing one. The focus was on attacking the east wall. Although the other two were feint attacks, tens of thousands of troops were invested. Only in the west of the city was there no trace of Cao's army.

of.

Surrounding three and missing one can weaken the morale of the defenders to a great extent. After all, under the temptation of survival, the soldiers may not defend the city with all their strength because there is still a way to retreat.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses seemed to be quite a lot, but after they were scattered behind various city walls, they still seemed a bit empty.

This was Lu Bu's first time to watch a siege battle at close range.

Cao Jun was walking at the forefront of the shield soldiers. They held up their shields and cautiously approached the city wall. Behind them were neat archers, holding strong bows and sabers hanging around their waists, closely following the shield soldiers.

within the scope of protection.

Behind the archers, there are ferocious-looking wells. Dozens of archers are standing densely on each well. The height of the wells is basically the same as the city wall. In this way, once the wells are

The archers on the top are showing off their power, and the advantage of the defenders at high places will be greatly weakened. Jinglan is a powerful siege weapon in this era. Although it moves slowly, once it gets close to the city wall, it will be a great help to siege the city.

The soldiers carrying the ladders on their shoulders did not carry any weapons. Their main task was to hang the ladders on the city wall so that the army behind could charge towards the city wall.

In the center of the army, there were also objects wrapped in cowhide. I don’t know what they were.

Lu Bu observed very carefully. In his eyes, these things were very crude, but that was the case in ancient wars. Unless there were explosives that could blow down the city gates directly, there would be no other way than this kind of attack.

Maybe it was because the defenders ran out of food, grass or weapons, or because they were lucky enough to occupy the city wall, the attack on a city could last for several years.

Glancing around, Lu Bu found that the defenders on the city were very nervous, and the hands holding their weapons were even trembling slightly. For many soldiers, this was their first battle. Although they were standing at a high place, they were very nervous.

There are psychological advantages, but after all, it is a life and death fight. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Fifty flying cavalry soldiers were closely guarding Lu Bu's side. Twenty of them had their weapons replaced with large shields. Their duty was to protect Lu Bu's safety.

Chen Deng looked at Feiqi, who was facing a formidable enemy, with a disdainful smile on his face. The world-famous general was just a coward. Before, he thought that Lu Bu was a simple-minded warrior. With a little stimulation, he might join.

When he came to the camp against Cao Jun, he didn't know that he was not fooled at all. As for his strong martial arts, no one had seen it with his own eyes, it was just word of mouth.

The rumbling war drums sounded, and Cao's army moved outside the city. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, the archers quickly approached the city. The defenders on the city cocked their bows and arrows, waiting for Cao's army to approach.

"Let go!" Liu Bei gave an order, and arrows poured down from the city like rain. Even with the protection of shield soldiers, many archers still fell down in the face of the dense rain of arrows. In such a battlefield,

After being injured, they were greeted only by death.

The advantages brought by high places are reflected at this moment. From a high place, bows and arrows can exert greater power.

The archers of Cao's army below the city also began to fight back. They only shot arrows from high places, but their accuracy was much worse. If they didn't grasp the distance well, the bows and arrows would be weak and weak after they flew up the city wall.

The soldiers carrying the ladders began to speed up, and they launched a death charge towards the city wall.

The sound of the war drums became more urgent, and Cao Jun began to attack, followed closely by the Yun Ladder Soldiers, which was the main force of the siege.

The speed of Jinglan was very slow, and it was already close to the city wall at this time. The archers on Jinglan began to show off their power, and kept shooting arrows towards the defenders on the city. They only needed a rough aim.

The defenders began to suffer casualties, especially after the wells appeared. Such sharp weapons were a nightmare for the defenders. You need to always be wary of arrows suddenly shot from the wells, and be careful of the arrows below the city.

, and be careful of the soldiers climbing up the ladder. Faced with threats from three aspects, many soldiers who experienced the battlefield for the first time were a little at a loss.

Liu Bei can be said to be a veteran on the battlefield. He has fought in various places for so many years and has rich experience.

As soon as the ladder was set up on the city wall, three or five soldiers worked together to push the ladder down. The soldiers who were climbing quickly were thrown to pieces. However, this outcropping provided a target for the archers on the well.

, knocking down the ladder will cost you blood. Of course, the collapse of the ladder brought a lot of trouble to Cao's soldiers.
