It's noon, outside Julu City.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Zhang Bao saw that the army had no intention of letting his brother go, so he ordered his men to prepare for the attack.

On the wall of Julu City, Lu Zhi saw that the Yellow Turbans were planning to attack the city, so he did not dare to neglect and immediately issued a military order.

"Dong Zhuo obeys the order!"

Hearing Lu Zhi call his name first, Dong Zhuo stepped forward with some reluctance, and bowed his hands perfunctorily: "Dong Zhuo is here."

Seeing Dong Zhuo being so rude, Lu Zhi was very angry. However, Lu Zhi also knew that this was not the time to be angry, so he could only pretend not to see Dong Zhuo and ordered him: "I order you to lead an army of 60,000 and garrison the west gate.

Don't let anyone enter the city, otherwise I won't let you go!"

"Here!" Dong Zhuo responded feebly, then angrily threw up his sleeves and left.

Dong Zhuo was still a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhi, the commander-in-chief, but the situation was pressing and he had to obey his orders.

"Hmph!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's behavior, Lu Zhi snorted coldly, and then ignored him.

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, looked at Li Zhi, and said warmly: "My dear nephew, please obey your orders."

Li Zhi responded, bowed his hands and said, "The general is here. Please give me your orders, Duke Lu."

Seeing that Li Zhi was not as arrogant as Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi nodded happily and said, "I order you to lead an army of 60,000 to garrison the North Gate without any mistakes."

"Here!" Li Zhi responded and hurried toward the north gate with Xu Huang, Guo Jia and Cao Cao.

Looking at the resolute Li Zhi, Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered to a general in front of him: "Zhu Tingling!"

Zhu, who had kept a low profile since he came to Julu City, immediately stepped out from the crowd after hearing Lu Zhi's order, and said with cupped hands: "The general is here, please give me your orders, commander-in-chief!"

Lu Zhi looked at Zhu with a stern face and ordered: "I order you to lead an army of 60,000 to guard the south gate!"

"Here!"

Zhu responded and hurried away with his subordinate Sun Jian and others.

After everyone left, Lu Zhi looked at Huangfu Song, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who were still here and said: "The remaining people are guarding the east gate with me."

"Here!" Liu Bei and others stepped forward and said, "We will follow Lu Gong (mentor) to the death!"

Another hour later, outside Julu City.

Zhang Bao saw that his brother had not been released yet, so he knew that the army would not compromise.

Zhang Baoyuan looked at Zhang Jiao above the city, sighed heavily, and waved to Guan Hai and others beside him.

"All troops obey orders!"

Guan Hai and others all stepped forward, clasped their hands and said, "I'm waiting here to listen to the oracle of the great wise master!"

Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Jiao on the city wall with a complicated expression for a while, then gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Attack the city! Attack the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest at the same time!"

"Here!" he responded loudly, and then they all walked towards the army under their command.

"Dong dong dong..." A rapid sound of war drums came.

On top of the north gate city wall.

Li Zhi was directing the formation of troops. After several previous battles, he was no longer a newbie on the battlefield and had gradually understood these formation methods.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xu Huang, but that this war is too important, so he doesn't dare to take advantage of others.

After hearing the sound of war drums, Li Zhi waved to Yang Ying beside him and asked him to prepare the things that had been arranged in the wall.

Seeing this, Yang Ying hurriedly ran to the inner wall of the city. Under the inner wall of the city, there were several strange arrow towers as high as the city wall.

There are several soldiers on the arrow tower, carrying a tree trunk about ten feet long and as thick as an adult's thigh. There is a bifurcation at the front end of the trunk, with some hemp ropes wrapped around it, and several long rings tied with iron chains on the hemp rope.

, looks quite weird.

After Yang Ying came closer, he waved his hand to the soldiers under the arrow tower: "Get close to the city wall quickly!"

"Here!" the soldiers responded, and immediately pushed dozens of archery towers toward the city wall, creaking and squeaking.

After the arrow tower was close to the city wall, the soldiers on the arrow tower slowly moved the tree trunk in their hands towards the city wall, put the front end on the city wall, and then looked at Li Zhi, waiting for his order.

Seeing that everything had been prepared, Yang Ying immediately came to the city wall and handed over to Li Zhiyi: "Master Qi, everything has been arranged. As long as the yellow scarf comes, he will definitely suffer a big loss!"

Li Zhi turned to look at these arrow towers and nodded with satisfaction. This was just a whim of his. He didn't know if it would be useful yet, but he just wanted to be prepared. If it was useful, then this thing could be called a magic weapon to defend the city.

Just when Li Zhi was ready, the yellow scarf outside was also ready.

Guan Hai looked at his subordinates who were ready, waved his hand, and roared: "Attack the city!!"

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established! If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be auspicious! Kill! Kill! Kill!..."

Following Guan Hai's order, countless yellow scarfs carried ladders, shouted slogans, and ran toward the city wall with a roar.

Seeing that the Yellow Turbans had already attacked, Li Zhi stared at them, his palms sweating from nervousness.

This was his first time to defend the city in a real sense. Although he had stayed on the city wall before, it was all thanks to Xu Huang. Now that he was doing it himself, he felt a lot of pressure.

When the Yellow Turban army was only 300 steps away from the city wall, Li Zhi raised his hand: "Crossbowmen, prepare!"

The crossbowmen who had been prepared "squeaking" opened their bows and set arrows, pointing diagonally upward, waiting for Li Zhi's order.

Li Zhiyang raised his hand and stared at the Yellow Turbans. After they approached two hundred steps, he waved his hand fiercely: "Fire the arrow!"

"Buzz..." A scalp-numbing buzzing sound came, and countless arrows shot towards the Yellow Turban like locusts.

"ah……"

"Pfft!"

"Ding dong!"

Some of the Yellow Turbans who were attacking the city did not react and were instantly killed by arrows; some blocked them with jingling swords and deflected the arrows; and some were not shot in vital parts, but they were also out of action.

Able to lie there and cry.

But the yellow scarves behind them ignored these shouting people, stepped on their bodies, and continued to rush towards the city wall with loud shouts.

At this moment, Guan Hai squinted at the city wall and waved to a person on the side. The person immediately nodded and accepted the order and left.

Just as the Yellow Turbans were about to approach the city wall, a group of specially dressed Yellow Turban troops came from behind.

This group of yellow scarves rode fast horses and were all wearing leather armor. They had no other weapons in their hands, only a bow, and there were arrow baskets behind their backs, filled with arrows.

After these people approached the city wall, they drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at the city wall.

"Let go!" followed the leader's command.

"Buzz..." With a sound, dense arrows were shot towards the city wall.

Li Zhi stood at the top of the city and saw that some people had already put up ladders on the city wall and were about to let people resist.

My lord, be careful!" Yang Ying shouted, and ran up to Li Zhi with a quick stride, blocking the arrow with a jingling sound of the big knife in her hand.

The guards on the side also reacted and immediately raised their large shields in front of Li Zhi with a "" sound, blocking him from the arrows that Yang Ying could not block.

Li Zhi looked to both sides from behind the shield and saw that many soldiers were injured by arrows. He quickly shouted: "Get down! Everyone get down!"

"No!" Just as Li Zhi shouted, Xu Huang shouted at the side.

Li Zhi turned to look at Xu Huang and saw that he was holding a big ax in front of him and swinging it casually, and the arrows hit the big ax with a clanging sound.

After Xu Huang approached, he loudly said to Li Zhi: "Brother, you must not let the soldiers lie down at this time! The Yellow Turbans are about to attack! Hurry up and order people to resist!"

When Xu Huang shouted, Li Zhi suddenly came back to his senses. Knowing that he had made a big mistake, he suddenly waved his hand towards the arrow towers behind him.

The people on the arrow tower were not affected by the arrows because they were far away. After seeing Li Zhi's order, they immediately put their tree trunks on the wall.

After the front end of the tree trunk extended outside the wall, several people risked their lives to grab the iron ring on the tree trunk and put it on the ladder for siege.

After he was hooked up, Li Zhi fiercely waved his hand and shouted: "Push them down!"

After hearing Li Zhi's order, the soldiers on the watchtower at the back shouted slogans "Hey yo yo" and quickly pushed the tree trunk forward.

Slowly, those yellow scarves who climbed on the ladder found themselves leaning back slowly. They were shocked and hurriedly retreated downwards. However, because there were people below, they had no way to retreat, so they could only watch helplessly.

He fell backwards.

"Poof!" sounded.

"ah……"

The ladder was pushed backwards by the tree trunk, and countless yellow scarves on top were pressed under the ladder, wailing loudly.

"Hahaha..." Seeing this, Li Zhi waved his hands excitedly and laughed loudly: "I knew I could succeed!"

This is what Li Zhi discovered during his previous battles with the Yellow Turbans. Although the Yellow Turbans had a large number of people, their weapons were chaotic and there was no unified weapon at all.

Moreover, there were very few siege equipment. There were only some simple ladders, such as arrow towers, rams and other large siege equipment. There were no large siege equipment at all, which gave Li Zhi an opportunity to take advantage of.

Li Zhi was very excited when he saw that his sudden idea had such a big effect, and his fearful mood calmed down.

As long as those ladders are abolished and the Yellow Turban Army has no other siege equipment, the city wall will be as stable as Mount Tai!

Guan Hai outside the city saw that the officers and soldiers on the city wall had come up with such a strange plan, and he didn't know what to do. After all, he had too few siege equipment under his command.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a way to crack it. I had no choice but to let the Yellow Turbans step up their attacks, hoping to win through sheer force.

Li Zhi was also distressed as he saw the yellow scarves coming like a tide, one after another, being beaten back by him one after another, but still biting him.

Although Li Zhi used some strange moves and was able to gain some upper hand for the time being, the time given to him to prepare was too short.

Li Zhi only built a dozen arrow towers, and these Yellow Turbans were divided into hundreds of teams and had hundreds of ladders. At this time, the soldiers on the arrow towers were already too busy.

Li Zhi was greatly worried when he saw several yellow scarves. Because the soldiers on the archery tower did not push down their ladders in time, they rushed to the top of the city.
Chapter completed!
