Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Early the next morning.

The sun rises in the east. When a ray of sunlight appeared from the horizon, a rare autumn siege broke out.

Only when there is enough food can the war be waged. Most of the wars in this world take place after the autumn harvest.

"Knock knock knock!!!"

In the Ma Teng camp in the west of Xiangping City, a deafening drum sounded. Immediately afterwards, a banner with the word "horse" came out of the camp first, and then a team of about 1,000 soldiers and horses walked out with the well cart and the ladder cart, and the archers and sword and axe hands were clearly hierarchical.

Although it was also an attack on Xiangping City, after all, this time it was Ma Teng who used his own troops, and Han Sui was far away in Jincheng, and it is estimated that he has not set off yet.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Xiangping City, just a few thousand.

The scale of the siege war, of course, has been reduced a lot. If Ma Teng breaks through Xiangping City, he can go south unscrupulously and attack Linwei City.

After a team of people came out, Ma Teng rode out with Ma Guang, Yang Fu and others close to him, and watched the situation develop.

"Whoever besieges the city. The city must be attacked immediately, otherwise the morale will be sharpened, then weakened, and then rested. After a night of cultivation, Ma Teng has regained his sharpness. He was wearing a black iron armor and said to Yang Fu beside him.

"What the marshal said is very true. Yang Fu nodded, this is basic common sense, okay.

"Blow the trumpet and siege the city. Ma Teng raised the golden whip in his hand and ordered.

"Woo woo woo !!!" With Ma Teng's order, in the midst of the vibrating drums, the melodious horn sounded.

A general surnamed Ma, who was supervising the battle in front, shouted and ordered the soldiers to push the well cart and the ladder cart forward, and the rest of the archers, sword and axe men followed.

Another group of about 2,000 cavalry came out of the Ma Teng military camp as a defensive force, in case the men and horses in the city suddenly came out and were taken by surprise.

Xiangping City. Liu Pi also divided the 4,000 elite soldiers under his command into four divisions, each guarding a city gate. Although Ma Teng only attacked on three sides, the south side was in the air. But Liu Bi didn't dare to disobey.

Four thousand elite soldiers came out, and Zhao Yun and other two or three thousand soldiers and horses became reserves.

During this time, after Liu Bi listened to Zhang Xiu's words, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts, sharpening his mind, and asked his personal staff to read him military books and biographies of famous generals.

Love the soldiers, strict military discipline. These 4,000 people have been training for a long time, and their physique is fat and their morale is high.

On the city, under the banners of "Zhang", "Zhao" and "Liu", a famous archer, spearman, shield bearer, and wrestler are waiting for him.

Mountains of stones, wood, and hot pans that are constantly burning and heated. Liu Pi's work of defending the city is not inadequate.

"I am a coarse man, and I cannot say anything that makes sense. There is only one sentence for you today, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined.

Liu Pi was dressed in black iron armor, holding a big gun, standing with a gun, and shouted.

The soldiers looked serious and listened immediately.

In the midst of the vibration of the drums, Ma Tengjun quickly approached. The archers under Liu Pi's command were also elite, and they didn't need an order from the officer, so they immediately began to shoot at the archers in Ma Teng's military well or on foot below.

The arrows shot by the "swishing !!" were like a rain of arrows, and the sound of arrows was endless.

Two archers of the Ma Teng army, one on the well cart and the other behind the shield bearers, shot arrows at the city. When an archer saw the rain of arrows in front of him, his face turned pale and his heart trembled. He's a new recruit and hasn't been in a fight yet.

"Shoot arrows quickly!!" After seeing this scene, a veteran soldier who supervised the war immediately stroked his waist knife and urged.

The archer struck a spirit, and then, not daring to slacken, emerged from the shield-bearers' protection and shot arrows at the city.

"Poof!! The other man had just come up, and before he could shoot an arrow, he was shot in the neck by an oncoming arrow, and after struggling for a moment, he fell to the ground.

"It's rubbish. Seeing this, the old soldier who supervised the war couldn't help but scold. The archers were either standing on the well carts or under the protection of the shield soldiers, which was not bad. Those sword and axe hands, who really braved the rain of arrows, climbed the ladder under the supervision of the soldiers who supervised the battle, intending to climb the city first.

"Bumper !!!"

Liu Pishi, who was defending the city, immediately picked up the stone and smashed it on the head of the sword and axe hand who climbed the city.

Ma Teng's saber and axe hand suddenly screamed, and his brain burst. And as the corpse rolled down, the knife and axe hand below also hurriedly dodged.

"Puff, puff!!" But what was even more powerful was the boiling oil, and the defender of the city picked up the wooden basin, carefully scooped up the boiling oil and water, and threw it towards the Ma Teng saber axe who climbed the ladder. The hot oil fell, and the Ma Teng saber and axe hand suddenly screamed, and his skin was visibly red, and he was not dead after rolling down, and he kept struggling and screaming on the ground.

In this era of poor medical care, scalding of this level is basically equivalent to a death sentence. The most terrifying thing is this scene.

Looking at the constant screams and struggles of this knife and axe hand, this greatly shocked the morale of Ma Teng's sergeants. But at the urging of the overseers, they had to grit their teeth and continue to climb the ladder, trying to climb the city.

Of course, there were many casualties among the defenders. Ma Tengjun's well cart was very high, higher than the Xiangping city wall. The archers on the top were condescending, and from time to time they shot the wrestlers and spearmen among the defenders of the city. Protect Ma Tengjun's knife and axe hand and successfully climb.

"Killing !!!" From time to time, the sword and axe men of Ma Teng's army boarded the city, but they were also stabbed to death by the spearmen who had prepared for the city.

After climbing the city wall, the defending spearmen were waiting for the battle, and the Ma Teng saber and axe hand died very miserably.

This kind of war is all about sharpness and human life. Whoever goes up first dies first. Finally, after the number of defenders is consumed, the city can be breached and won.

As a general, Liu Pi did not leave the city, but under the protection of the shield bearer, he stood with a gun and did not act without authorization.

If he is shot by a cold arrow, the army will collapse.

Under such a siege battle, the Ma Teng army had a huge advantage. He has a lot of soldiers and can be consumed. And it's a wheel battle, one team lasts for half an hour, and then the other team goes up. And Liu Pi's soldiers and horses only had 4,000 people, and they were guarding the city gates on all sides.

By noon on the battle, corpses were piled up on and under the city. Sergeant Liu Pi has already suffered one-fifth of the casualties.

"It would be nice if it could rain. Liu Bi still stood with his gun, but he didn't move at all, and went to put a piece of water halfway.

His bare face was a little darkened, and he looked up at the sky. At noon, the sky was clear. If this continues, his soldiers and horses will only be able to hold out for a few days at most.

But fortunately, there is still a Zhao Yun reserve in the city.

The so-called siege is the first few days of fierceness. When there are casualties, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably be low, and then the slackness and discouragement will become slow.

Liu Pi is worthy of being an experienced Yellow Turban thief general, although he has lost most battles in his life, he has fought a lot of battles, and his judgment is not wrong at all.

By the time the battle continued the next day, more than half of his men had suffered casualties. There were few casualties and many minor injuries.

Because of the lack of numbers, the lightly wounded soldiers could only go through a simple bandage, and then they came up to fight again, and their morale was somewhat low. But Liu Pi's daily pension for the soldiers was good, and his morale was not so low that he collapsed, but he really couldn't last a few days.

It's noon. The offensive of Ma Teng's soldiers under the city is still continuous, and the meals are rotated, and the defenders of Liu Pi in the city also have to arrange the soldiers to take fifty people as a team to rotate the meals.

Although he was very serious and dignified, Liu Pi did not delay eating, and ate three bowls of rice and five taels of cooked pork, and his face was full of red light.

"Lord County Lieutenant, you can't go on like this. We should bring together 300 men from the south gate to support the rest of the city to the east, west, and north of the city. Under

the cover of the shield bearer, a soldier came to Liu Bi's side and bowed.

Liu Bi looked around the city wall, the number of soldiers was obviously sparse, and the morale was really not high. He was going to agree.

At the beginning, 1,000 people in the south of the city were also arranged just in case, but now only the south of the city is not attacked by the Ma Teng army, and the army is fully organized and can be used as support.

Liu Bi was about to nod and order, but at this moment, there was a commotion in the city. Soon after, Zhao Yun was wearing iron armor and holding a big gun, leading more than 900 soldiers under his command to climb the city wall. He said to Liu Pi in a heroic manner: "County Lieutenant Liu, I heard that your department has suffered heavy casualties, and Zhao Yun has come to support.

Liu Bi was immediately full of gratitude, and Zhao Yun said at that time that he would be guarded for a few days. It's only been a day and a half now, and Zhao Yun has come to help.

General. They all cherish the soldiers under their command. On weekdays, the baby is amazing, because the soldiers are the capital to make meritorious contributions.

Now Zhao Yun led troops to support in advance, which is really righteous.

Liu Pi was very moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything more hypocritical. just bowed slightly to Zhao Yun and said, "Then I'll hand it over to Zhao Sima." "

Well said. Zhao Yunshuang laughed, shook his spear, commanded the soldiers of his department, and took over Liu Bi's defense to defend the city, and Liu Pi's soldiers also left the city wall in batches as if they had been amnestied. After Liu Pi took a deep look at Zhao Yun, he led his men down the city wall and ordered the soldiers to step up their rest, bandage their wounds, and eat.

Zhao Yun is so righteous, he Liu Pi can't be ashamed. The soldiers and horses on both sides took turns to defend the city, and they must defend this Xiangping city for the general.

Zhao Yun was much more fierce than Liu Pimeng, he braved the arrows to personally supervise the battle in the city, shot and killed the soldiers of Ma Teng who had ascended the city, and shouted: "Beat the drum to help." Call me by name. So that Ma Teng knows Changshan Zhao Yun. "

General Zhao Yun !!" "General Zhao Yun !!

"

The soldiers only felt very uplifted and shouted one after another. For a time, the city was full of joy, and the name of Zhao Yun resounded everywhere.

The city defenses were also immediately fortified.
