Chapter 960: Hold on to the Iron Wall
Xu Huang paced back and forth in the camp, stayed up all night, and even seemed a little excited.
Letting several sons run away probably means that Yuan Shao has reached the point where he has run out of fuel and knows that he is about to die, so he sends a few sons out to avoid being exterminated.
Tap tap tap!
The sound of horse hooves sounded outside the camp. Xu Huang's eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him excitedly. The first thing that caught his eye was a war horse with fiery red fur, like a burning flame. It was naturally a red rabbit horse.
"Marquis Wen, how are you?" Xu Huang asked.
Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that those who rushed out were all dead soldiers of the Yuan family. They risked their lives to obstruct our army, which wasted a little time."
Xu Huang frowned, but didn't say much. Lu Bu's character was very proud. Xu Huang's position was at best equal to Lu Bu's. Even the general couldn't rebuke him easily.
"It doesn't matter." Xu Huang consoled him: "Yuan Shao was hit by an arrow from Marquis Wen and was seriously injured. I believe he will not be able to escape. He is currently in Beiping City. It doesn't matter if he runs away for a few times. As long as he can catch Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will be able to escape." Even if the family is finished!”
Yuan Shao was very famous and well-known, and he was the leading figure in the Yuan family, but his sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, could not make any big waves.
"It makes sense, don't waste any time, let's attack the city now and capture Beiping City!"
Xu Huang and Lu Bu immediately began to arrange an offensive against Beiping City. This time, the city was surrounded on all sides, and every city wall was surrounded, because Yuan Shao could not be let go under any circumstances, otherwise with his huge influence, it would be very easy to It may gain momentum again in Hebei.
The Bingzhou Army was still responsible for attacking the north gate, while the other three gates were surrounded by Xu Huang's Jizhou Army.
Fifty thousand troops surrounded Beiping City. The dense crowds of people were like black clouds. A tense atmosphere of war swept across the entire Beiping City. Sergeant Yuan on top of the city looked nervously outside the city and couldn't help but shrink back. .
However, there was one person who was calm and unafraid, with a solemn expression.
"Uncle, it seems that Xu Huang is determined to break through Peiping this time." Shen Rong on the side said worriedly.
"Pass my general's order." Shen Pei said coldly: "Block all the gates on all sides and don't allow anyone to get out!"
"Ah? What?" Shen Rong was shocked.
"What, didn't you hear clearly?" Shen Pei looked at Shen Rong coldly.
"Ah, I understand." Shen Rong nodded and hurried down to give instructions.
Aren't you, Xu Huang, besieging the city on all sides? Then I will simply block the city gates on all sides, and I will not be able to get out.
"General, Judge Pei ordered all four walls to be blocked." Scout Report reported.
"Oh?" Xu Huang looked a little surprised: "This matchmaking is actually like this?"
Blocking all the city gates on all sides can certainly prevent the attacking party from breaking in, but it also cuts off the possibility of the enemy forces in the city breaking out. In this way, the enemy forces will naturally be determined to die and will be difficult to fight.
"It seems like this is a tough battle, but tough battles have to be fought down the road."
Xu Huang said to Hao Zhao: "Hao Zhao, your military governor is mainly attacking the east gate."
"Here!"
Xu Huang waved his hand: "Comprehensive attack, go!"
"Kill!"
The sky-shattering shouts of killing suddenly erupted, and thousands of Jizhou troops and Bingzhou troops were seen carrying ladders, pushing siege vehicles, and holding shields, overwhelming the sky like a wave, heading toward the city of Beiping. They came in droves with great momentum.
The defenders on the city couldn't help but feel a little afraid, but Shen Pei was not affected at all and issued orders one by one.
"Archers are on the top of the city!"
"Fire oil, rolling logs, and stones are ready!"
Orders were issued smoothly, and with the judge personally presiding over it, the more than 10,000 defenders in the city suddenly seemed to have a backbone and started working like parts.
"shooting!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The archers of the Jizhou Army and Bingzhou Army outside the city took the lead in launching an attack. Thousands of arrows fell densely on the top of the city like raindrops. Countless arrows suddenly fell on the top of the city, screaming. The sounds came and went, and countless Jizhou troops screamed and fell from the top of the city.
"Fight back, fight back!"
Naturally, the archers of the Yuan Army on the top of the city were not to be outdone, and began to fight back with their bows and arrows. For a while, arrows from the two armies continued to exchange, and two soldiers continued to fall.
boom!
Siege vehicles and ladders were set up on the top of the city. The dense Xiliang army immediately launched a fierce attack on the top of the city. At the same time, the archers maintained intensive firepower to suppress the enemy forces on the top of the city.
"Pour in the fire oil, golden juice!"
The defenders at the top of the city had already prepared supplies to defend the city. When they saw the enemy Pan climbing up, they immediately fell down.
"ah!"
"Throw the torch!"
The kerosene was poured down, and a dozen more torches were thrown down from the top of the city. When the kerosene touched a little spark, it burned violently in an instant. Countless Xiliang soldiers screamed and jumped from the ladder. Then, he hit the ground with a "bang" and rolled back and forth trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
"Throw it down!"
Boom!
Pieces of rolling wood and rocks were also thrown down by the defenders, and they hit the Xiliang soldiers, causing their muscles and bones to be broken immediately.
"Cheng Lian, you go to the city!" Seeing that the offensive was frustrated, Lu Bu ordered his general Cheng Lian to go to the city in anger.
"Here!"
Cheng Lian bit the Huanshou knife in his mouth, grabbed the ladder, and using his hands and feet, he accelerated towards the top of the city.
But the enemy soldiers on top of the city were sharp-eyed. After seeing Cheng Lian, they immediately shouted: "An enemy general is attacking the city, pour the gold juice quickly!"
"Pour the golden juice!"
Cheng Lian was shocked when he heard these three words. This golden juice is not fun. Once it is poured on the body, the skin will immediately ulcerate and the wound will become infected.
"not good!"
Seeing that the guards at the top of the city were really going to pour the gold juice, Cheng Lian subconsciously jumped to the side, rolled his body a few times, and landed on the ground.
"ah!"
Behind him, there was a burst of screams, but it was the Bingzhou soldiers who were poured with gold juice and couldn't help but scream.
"Damn, it's really dangerous." Cheng Lian cursed, even with his skill, he was a little frightened. Golden juice is something extraordinary. Once it is poured on a person's body, no matter whether he is wearing iron armor or leather armor, his skin and flesh will inevitably burst.
A steady stream of gold juice, kerosene, rolling logs and stones were poured down from the top of the city. Thousands of Jizhou soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers were hit by rolling logs and stones. Their heads were bleeding and their skins were torn. The offensive was thwarted. A huge deterrent.
Almost countless defensive materials poured down from the top of the city. Therefore, even though the morale of the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers was very high, they were blocked from attacking.
