Chapter 113 Wheel Battle
The siege continues.
"Kill!" Huang Gai waved his big stick, and the fifth formation soldiers rushed into the fire in wet cowhide. Even now, the fire still decreased a lot.
The soldiers of the first four formations all siege violently with the support of the cloud ladder.
At the beginning, after the first and second formations, Sun Jian's army joined forces, they actually attacked the city under the cover of thick smoke! Fortunately, even though the smoke dissipated, after dozens of soldiers, including Sun Jian's army, were choked to death or hacked to death, Zhang Chen personally led the camp to regain the city.
After that, all kinds of troops were added on the top of the city, and it became increasingly difficult to attack the city.
"It's noon! Let General Sun Jian withdraw his troops!" The weather was very hot today, and there were signs of entering Xia. Yuan Shao and others no longer watched the battle on the high platform. They were all resting in the military camp tent, but Cao Cao worked tirelessly to command the entire battlefield. Xiahou Dun brought two thousand soldiers with him to guard him.
Just when Sun Jian heard Mingjin's voice and was about to withdraw his troops, the five thousand troops joined by Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi and Qingzhou Governor Jiao He had already assembled. They all finished their lunch and were about to continue to attack the city instead of Sun Jian's army.
The total of the troops of Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, and Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, had only 10,000 people. This time they were determined to pull half of the troops out to attack the city, and they all gave Yuan Shao face.
"Brothers, kill me!" Qingzhou Governor Jiao He led his troops in front, while Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi was the rear guard.
Originally, Jiao He had a general Huang Shuo, but before he was killed by Lu Bu and Hulao Pass, he had to go to the battlefield himself.
Yuan Yi was surrounded by four generals, in sharp contrast to Jiao He's only one deputy general following him.
The four generals were Yuan Yi's family generals. As Yuan Shao's cousin, although Yuan Yi was not as rich and powerful as the Yuan Shao family, he was also a descendant of the Yuan clan of the famous Yuan family. He was considered a prince of the country and raised many family generals and guests.
The four generals were the "Four Generals of the Yuan family" who were regarded as the right-hand man by Yuan Yi, and were named Sun Hao, Zhang Sen, Zhang Yi, and Chen Han.
The four generals were the most powerful among the family generals recruited by Yuan Yi, and they all had martial arts or power that were beyond ordinary people. This time, they were also brought by Yuan Yi by his side.
"Master! I'll take the lead this time!" Sun Hao, the most rough and fiercest among the four generals, asked his order. He held a machete, but was bare-clogged and did not wear armor.
"Okay! Sun Hao, you will take five hundred soldiers first! I will let Zhang Sen bring five hundred men behind you and follow you!" Yuan Yi was surrounded by a large army and could barely ride on the horse.
"Yes! I will definitely not let you down!" Sun Hao was originally a bandit leader, but later he was surrendered by Yuan Yi and worked for Yuan Yi, but his bandit temperament could not be changed.
After passing the opening of Sun Jian's army, a not-so-wide road had been opened in the ruins, and only a few hundred people could pass through the troops of siege weapons at a time. As for the weapons of siege, they could not get close to them.
Jiao He's troops in front had already started siege under the leadership of the deputy general, and the troops here also began to advance in Sun Hao's vulgar tone. Perhaps the predecessors of these soldiers, namely peasants or bandits who were recruited, had a high momentum amid Sun Hao's scolding.
"Ziyue! They are here again!" On the top of the city, only a part of the crossbowmen left behind after Sun Jian's army retreated, and most of the soldiers retreated to rest. Unexpectedly, the Allied troops used wheel battle today.
