Chapter 61 Two Lines of Defense

"Kill~"

Although the main generals on both sides reacted differently, the battlefield was cruel after all. Even though morale had been drained, the Yellow Turban Army had made some progress after these simple trainings. There were constant siege ladders on the wall. This time, in order to break through Suiyang as soon as possible, Liang Fa had already put many real elites on the battlefield to take the lead.

In the past, most of these elite Taiping Sect were from bandits, and they were agile and strong enough. In addition, they were equipped with excellent equipment, which caused great trouble to the Suiyang official army.

An elite Yellow Turban Army leader stepped onto the city wall with a shield. The shield in his hand separated the spear stabbed by an official army and jumped down. The sword in his hand flashed a cold light in the sun. The official army was directly chopped off the head by him. The two officials next to him hurriedly raised their swords to remedy it. The two knives slashed the man at the same time, one on the shoulder, and the other directly pierced the belly.

The elite of the Yellow Turban Army were also brave. Seeing that they could not survive, they frantically threw the sword in their hands and pierced the chest of the officers facing each other.

Although he died in battle, he also tore a gap. At least three Yellow Turban troops rushed up, fighting with the officials rushing around him, firmly blocking the small area with their bodies, allowing more robes behind him to rush up. Seeing that the area was about to be lost, a loud shout came from behind: "Everyone can dodge it!"

On the city wall, Dian Wei's iron tower-like body rushed over like a tank. With his roar, the surrounding officials subconsciously moved away. Many people only felt the black shadow flashing in front of them, followed by a strong wind, which made people's skin hurt.

"Puff puff puff puff~"

"Bang~"

The Yellow Turban Army soldiers who had just gained a foothold had not had time to react and were knocked out by a violent force. However, Dian Wei was in a hurry and picked up the stones used to guard the city and threw them directly over. After smashing the three Yellow Turban thieves with their heads, they continued to slam the city wall and stomped the entire city wall.

Dian Wei stepped forward with two iron halberds, and a yellow turret who had just emerged was slashed away by Dian Wei's halberd. Then he used the iron halberd to push the siege ladder on the city wall. Then he turned around and looked at the stunned soldiers and said, "What are you looking at! Don't you want to die if you don't kill the enemy for me?"

Everyone had never seen such a cruel person. After being shocked, their morale rose sharply. Such a brave man was on his side, so why did they fear it? They all let out a roar.

Dian Wei naturally didn't understand why his morale was cursed by him, but he had no mood to pay attention to it at this time. He received Ye Zhao's order and wandered around the city wall. Once he found that an enemy attacked him, he immediately took the rescue. As for the others, he had no intention of paying attention to it.

At this time, Ye Zhao did not continue to stay on the city wall to observe the war. Although there is no result yet, he has already derived the general direction of the war in his mind, so he now needs to arrange his second plan. Perhaps the Yellow Turban Army cannot even break the city wall, but if everything is not considered to win, he will lose first. If conditions permit, Ye Zhao will definitely leave enough backup for himself.

"Lord, will your morale shake when you leave the front line?" Seeing that there was no one around, Qiu Chi expressed his concern. After all, although Ye Zhao was just a county magistrate before, he is now the backbone of the city. When Ye Zhao left at this time, it is easy to shake the morale of the army.

"I have made it clear before that this is not a battle for the court, nor is it a battle for me. Where to go? They decide on their own. If it is so easy to shake the morale of the army, I will consider breaking through. After all, after all, I am just a Suiyang Order, the Chief Commander, and the Prime Minister of Liang before, and there are also dying words before." Ye Zhao sneered. Although he was mentally prepared for the court or the emperor's methods, he was still a little unhappy when things came to an end.

"Then I'll wait now..."

"Go and prepare the second line of defense." Ye Zhao said calmly.

"The second line of defense?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with a blank look on his face: "Didn't the lord say..."

Didn’t you say you wanted to break through? Why is there a second line of defense? The city wall has not yet been broken.

"If the army's heart is shaken, I will naturally break through, but this second line of defense is not the city wall that will be broken, but the hearts of the people."

"Human heart?" Qiu Chi became even more confused.

"If you are Liang Fa and you can't break the city by attacking forcibly, what should you do?" Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi and explained patiently.

"Retreat or..." Qiu Chi was halfway through his speech, and suddenly realized that if he could not break the city by attacking forcibly, he might have to use conspiracies and tricks next.

Finally, I'm not stupid enough.

Ye Zhao nodded helplessly. If it were Qian Mo, I'm afraid he would understand his intention without saying it himself.

The Yellow Turban Army is weak, but since Liang Fa wants to attack Sui Yang, he will definitely send all the best soldiers in his hands to seize the first line of opportunity. Otherwise, Liang Fa would not have any chance of winning. At the beginning, Ye Zhao had already stood on Liang Fa's standpoint to figure out how to fight this battle.

Therefore, Ye Zhao sent Dian Wei, Guan Hai and all the people around him who could be sent out. This first day must be the most difficult day. As long as the first day is supported, the Yellow Turban Army will be gone. The large amount of elite losses will not only make Liang Fa feel distressed, but also greatly reduce the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army the next day. Then, Liang Fa can think of only this method to start from within Suiyang.

It's very old-fashioned, but it's also a very difficult method to guard against.

"What is the lord going to do?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao, and he also felt that the matter was difficult.

"In times of troubled times, we should use the heavy punishment! Send people to send invitations to the heads of various prefectures. The Prime Minister's House will hold a banquet tonight, and the kindness will be passed!" A flash of coldness that had never happened in his daily life flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes.
