Chapter 340 Two strategies to break the city(1/2)
On the morning of the second day,
It was just dawning, and Ye Tian brought Bigan, Evil, Qu Yang and other generals under his command to the city of Xihua.
Xihua City is just a county town, but it has always been famous for its sturdiness in Runan County.
Especially after being reinforced by Daqu coach Peng Tuo, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
His city walls were towering like a beast in prehistoric times.
There were spears and spears standing among the battlements on the city, and the shadows were all patrolling the Yellow Turban soldiers.
After the Yellow Turban camp outside the city was destroyed by the Han army, the Yellow Turban defenders in the city became more cautious and were always on guard against the Han army's siege.
At this time, there were still about 2 million defenders in Xihua City.
With 2 million soldiers guarding it, it is definitely not an easy task to win Xihua City.
After a day of rest, the Han army began to continue attacking Xihua City without stopping, but did not want to give the defenders in the city any chance to breathe.
Previously, Ye Tian proposed two good strategies to attack Xihua City during the military discussion.
One is the strategy of the earth mountain.
Build a mountain of earth outside the city, then place a crossbowman on it, attack it from a high place, and shoot arrows into the city.
Cooperating with the catapult, this will suppress the firepower of the defenders in the city.
In this way, even if the Xihua Yellow Turban Army had catapults, archers, crossbows, etc. on the city wall, it could not unilaterally attack the Han army. This is the first strategy.
The second is the plan to rush the car,
First, send someone to pretend to attack the city wall with a ladder, and then let the elite soldiers raise their shields, hold the arrows in the city, and roll stones.
He rushed to the car and tried to forcibly break through the city gate.
This time, the Han army's catapulted carts were not large.
However, as long as there is a rushing car, the city gate can still be broken.
Then a pioneer was sent to break into Xihua City from the city gate and enter the city directly through the city gate, so that you can easily break through Xihua City.
At this moment, four simple earthen mountains have appeared outside Xicheng City, but the height is not as high as the city wall.
But at least some archers can be arranged to shoot at the city.
If you cooperate with the siege cars brought this time, it should have a pretty good effect.
Ye Tian looked at the towering earth mountain in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
The Han army's movement speed was indeed extraordinary. Such a mountain of earth had already been piled up in a short period of last night.
The only disadvantage may be that the height of the earthen mountains outside Xihua City is still slightly insufficient.
However, Ye Tian didn't care. Anyway, the accumulation of soil was just a means to confuse the enemy's attention.
Ye Tian’s plan was mainly to break the city gate directly through the rushing car.
Surprising from the city gate is naturally twice the result with half the effort, and it is much easier than attacking the city wall through a cloud ladder.
City gates are always easier to break than city walls.
Moreover, the city gate and the city gate have good passability, and the main force can be put into battle as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if you let thousands of soldiers climb the wall into the city, it will definitely be much easier than entering the wall from the city gate.
Of course, the Yellow Turban Army in the city is not a fool. Peng Tuo and Gong Du are both famous historical generals in the Yellow Turban camp.
They also know the importance of the city gate, and will definitely guard many Yellow Turban elites at the city gate, so that the city gate will not be easily compromised.
Under Xihua City,
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the city gate in the distance.
This time, Ye Tian’s next plan was to break into the city from the city gate with Sun Jian.
After Sun Jian and Ye Tian broke the gate of Xihua City through the siege car,
Ye Tian and Sun Jian could lead the army to charge, rush into the city in one fell swoop, and take down Xihua City.
"The evil is coming, and the city is about to be attacked. Do you have confidence?"
Ye Tian looked at the evil aside and said with a smile.
He smiled and was quite relaxed at this moment. His previous victory over Liu Pi and Wu Ba made him feel very good.
In his opinion, the Battle of Xihua has become a great advantage for us.
Although the number of Yellow Turban Army in Xihua City was not small before, with more than 4 million Yellow Turban County.
The Xihua Yellow Turban Army, which had more than 4 million, has lost half of the previous war.
The other 2 million people were trapped in Xihua City at this moment and did not dare to go out to fight back, but they were just fighting the trapped beasts.
"That's of course. I didn't show enough strength when I was dealing with the Yellow Turban Camp outside the city.
Now it’s time for me to perform well!”
When evil comes, he said confidently.
"That's good. Next, when you arrive on the battlefield, it depends on your performance."
Ye Tian nodded and said with a expressionless face.
While speaking, Ye Tian turned his head and looked forward.
At this moment, Sun Jian was commanding the distribution of soldiers with the sword that Huangfu Song had given him before.
A group of well-armed and burly soldiers were pushing the chariot, making their final preparations before siege.
These soldiers were carefully selected elite soldiers, with the purpose of breaking through the gates of Xihua City.
Sun Jian, holding a long sword, stood in front of them, and was the leader of this group of soldiers.
Sun Jian still had the powerful aura that no one could compare to.
This time, the main focus of the siege is Ye Tian and Sun Jian.
If successful, you can directly break through the city gate and attack the inside of Xihua City in one fell swoop.
Not long after, it was finally time to attack the city.
The sound of snare drums soared into the sky, like the sound of thunder echoing in the wilderness outside Xihua City.
The sound of drums instantly ignited the fighting spirit of all Han troops.
Countless Han troops began to line up and approached Xihua City.
At this moment, if you look out of the city from the Xihua City wall, you will find that the entire Xihua City is densely filled with flags and troops, all of which are soldiers of the Han army.
As soon as the drum sounded, it represented the official beginning of the siege of Xihua.
Soon, groups of soldiers rushed directly towards the towering walls of Yangdi City.
They all rushed towards the city wall with their hands, carrying the ladder.
The infantry were the first to charge, and they braved the rain of arrows in the city and quickly approached Xihua City.
Behind the infantry, bowmen holding longbows began to line up behind the running Han soldiers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Use long bows and arrows to suppress the Yellow Turban defenders on the city wall and cover the robes to attack the city.
On the earthen mountain behind, Huangfu Song had already arranged a large number of bows, arrows, bows and crossbowmen.
The sharp arrow shot towards the sky above Xihua City like rain.
After the heavy rain of arrows, bursts of screams sounded on the city wall.
On Xihua City, a large number of soldiers also stood high above the city wall.
They also held bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows whizzed towards the soldiers below.
Under the condescending advantage, the soldiers on Xihua City had some advantages.
There were many archers on Xihua City. After a dense rain of arrows, countless Han soldiers had turned into corpses before they could touch the city wall.
Fortunately, the archers on the Tushan Mountain can finally recover some firepower disadvantages for the Han army, so as not to put the Han army completely at a disadvantage.
The first row of Han soldiers entered under the city wall, but the arrow rain of the Yellow Turban Army alone had already solved a large number of Han soldiers.
It is already a good fortune to be able to withstand the Han soldiers under the city wall.
A row of ladders set up the city tower, and many soldiers rushed to climb up the ladder.
But soon, another ladder was pushed down by several Yellow Turban strongmen with arrows and used the fork rod. In an instant, countless Han soldiers fell from the high city.
Or when it is touched by a rolling stone wood, it will be killed directly
It exploded directly in the air and turned into countless blood mists.
Countless people rushed up through the ladder and the arrow tower, and then fell down quickly and turned into corpses under the city.
They fell into countless piles of corpses below like moths to a fire.
Seeing that the defenders on the city were all attracted by the siege soldiers from all directions.
