The fierce war on the Western Front began shortly after Huangfu Song led the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard across the Yellow River. The two sides did not have too much verbal attack and started directly. At this time, everyone knew it well that no matter how much nonsense he said, it would not work if he was real.

The people stationed in Lin County were the Xiongwu Army trained by Guan Yu in the north. The city lord was Li Jinwu, and the deputy generals were Liu He and Li Feng. Because the original intention of training this army at that time was to defend against the nomadic peoples in the north, relying on the city pass to defend became the focus of Xiongwu Army's training, and this time came in handy.

The siege was the direct troops led by Huangfu Song. His uncle Huangfu Gui, eldest son Huangfu Jianshou and subordinate Huangfu Li all served in the army. Although several of them were not famous, they were all good at military training and were extraordinary in command.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: If you surround it ten times, you will attack it five times. Now Huangfu Song is leading 50,000 people to attack Lin County, which is only 10,000 people stationed. While waiting to cross the Yellow River to the east, Huangfu Song has ordered his soldiers to make many equipment for siege, such as ladders, chariots, catapults, crossbows, etc. Although the Zhao army guarding the city is well-equipped, the number of people is limited after all. With the desperate attack of 50,000 people, Lin County will be defeated sooner or later.

The two troops of Cao Cao and Sun Jian who crossed the river together did not stop when passing Lin County, but went around the city and headed straight to Gaolang City forty miles away from Lin County. Their main battlefield was there. Similarly, Lu Zhi also led 70,000 Northern Army, plus 20,000 people from Ponde and Yan Yan to go straight east. The goal was very clear, that is Lishi City, where the capital of Xihe County is located.

In small cities like Lin County, even if hundreds of thousands of people are concentrated to siege, the soldiers who can be directly sent to the city will still be limited, so Lu Zhi simply divided his troops into three groups and attacked at the same time. The advantage of this is that it can save time. As long as Lin County, Gaolang and Lishi conquer one city, the coalition forces can firmly gain a foothold in Xihe.

A fierce offensive and defensive battle at the head of Lin County has begun. The catapults under the city threw huge rocks at the head of the city, suppressing the soldiers on the city from daring to show their heads. The huge rocks flew over the city walls and flew into the city, and from time to time they made huge holes in the roofs of the people's houses in the city, and even directly smashed the beams, causing the roof to collapse.

Fortunately, these people have learned how to avoid the huge rocks of the waves. When everyone heard the sound of war drums, they dragged their children and hid in the cellars where pickled vegetables were stored in the backyards of various families. Although houses collapsed and houses collapsed from time to time, the casualties of the people were not very serious.

Li Jinwu followed the cover of the female wall on the top of the city and observed the enemy situation down from the battlements. He knew that this round of long-range projectiles was just a bluffing round of demonstrations before the coalition forces officially entered the city to fight, and the real challenges and threats were still behind.

Seeing that a round of huge rock projection was over, Huangfu Song immediately ordered the Longbow soldiers to hide behind the big shield soldiers and began to approach the city of Lin County. As long as these Longbow soldiers arrived at the shooting position, the subsequent melee troops climbing the city carried the ladder and charged forward, and the Longbow soldiers' mission was to suppress the Zhao army at the top of the city.

Regarding the Han army's routine siege routine, Li Jinwu began to learn how to crack it since he entered the Wohu Martial Arts Hall. Now that he saw the actual combat version, he naturally knew it at a glance. Without waiting for the longbow soldiers under the city to get closer, Li Tiezhu immediately issued a counterattack order: "Use the sky-blasting thunder for fixed-point shooting, don't let these longbow soldiers get close to the city!" Then, many black iron balls with tail smoke flew out from the city wall that had been silent, and headed straight for the longbow soldiers who were gradually approaching the city.
