If the Yellow Turban Army did not leave the city, Lu Zhi had no choice.

The city wall was standing there, full of Yellow Turban soldiers, condescending to the heights. The Han army's siege was blocked and they could not use the ladder to climb the wall. That was purely seeking death. Lu Zhi did not give the order at all.

Lu Zhi ordered the army to set up several mounds on the periphery and set up arrow towers, making the height of the arrow tower higher than the height of the Guangzong County wall.

Then the crossbowmen shot arrows in the city wall from a high place, making the Yellow Turban Army in the city unable to raise their heads. They lacked shields and even more qualified crossbowmen. They could only walk around with their bodies bowed all day long, and if they were not careful, they would be shot into a hedgehog and die.

In the end, they actually used wooden door panels to defend against arrows on the city wall to fight against the Han army's arrow rain.

But the Han army's methods were like this, perhaps the methods of siege in this era were like this.

At this time, there were not as many heavy siege weapons as there were later, and they were really unable to do anything to the city wall. Although Lu Zhi was determined to break the city, he could only use up Zhang Jiao's food and grass in this way.

Although Guo Peng also believed that Zhang Jiao did not expect his crushing defeat in advance and would not leave too much food in Guangzong, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that they could only break the city after they finished their food.

Nowadays, there is really a lack of methods of siege, and people can't help but face the strong city. Guo Peng knows the siege, but he knows the truth but not the reason.

He knows the principle of leverage, but if he wants to do it, he knows nothing about carpentry work.

The catapult was used by people during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but unfortunately it was lost for a while and was later recorded in historical books again, which was on the battlefield between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu.

No one knows how Cao Cao re-made the trencher hundreds of years later and used it on the battlefield.

Now Guo Peng only knows this concept, just like knowing the concept of artillery, but even if he knows it, the reality does not allow it, so there is nothing he can do.

Now we can only find ways to maximize the siege methods and the advantages of the Han army that we can master.

So Guo Peng offered advice to Lu Zhi to fight an authentic war.

Dig tunnels in places that the enemy cannot see in the city, dig them all the way down the city wall, and then use wooden stakes to block the city wall so that the city wall will not fall.

Instead, when the depth and width are dug, all the wooden stakes will be burned in one breath, and the city wall that has lost its support will collapse directly, and soldiers outside the city will rush into the city and launch an attack.

This method is secret, with a small possibility of loss, but also a great disadvantage. The main tool to restrain this method is the Tingweng that appeared in the Warring States Period.

When Yuan Shao attacked Yijing, which Gongsun Zan had all his strength, he used this method to destroy the Yijing wall, which directly led to Gongsun Zan's defeat.

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao used the same trick again to deal with Cao Cao.

As a result, Cao Cao was prepared for it. When he learned about Yuan Shao's intentions, he led the Guandu River to the tunnel entrance and poured it in. Therefore, the engineering troops that made great contributions to Yuan Shao were destroyed by Cao Cao's regiment.

Taking the same approach to dealing with different enemies gives different results, which is enough to prove that any strategy makes sense, just depends on which person is dealing with.

A battlefield veteran like Cao Cao will naturally be wary of Yuan Shao's use of this method.

It is probably Yuan Shao who likes to brag, and the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was pretty good at that time. Perhaps Yuan Shao boasted about his military achievements to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao remembered it in his heart and implicated Yuan Shao.

Zhang Jiao did not have sufficient battlefield experience. Facing a battlefield veteran like Lu Zhi, he revealed his prototype as soon as he fought. It can be seen that this person is not a general at all.

Maybe I don’t have time to accumulate experience and have no time to grow, so I may be able to deal with Zhang Jiao in this way.

For Lu Zhi, this method must be tried, otherwise he would only use arrow rain to suppress it, and the Ling Emperor would probably keep urging him?

Lu Zhi didn't want to bet on Zhang Jiao's food stored in total uncontrollable amount, so he also actively sought other plans. Tube war is one of the plans.

In order to cooperate with the tunnel warfare, the siege in the daytime was completely unstoppable. The Han army kept beating drums and shouting and shooting, bringing great psychological deterrence to the Yellow Turban Army in the city and also squeezing their attention.

During this period, the Yellow Turban Army finally made a move in the city. They opened the city gate and went out to fight back, destroying the Han army's mounds and arrow towers.

Lu Zhi was prepared and immediately sent troops to fight him. Guo Peng once again led the Changshui cavalry team to the battlefield, repelling the Yellow Turban Army three times in a row and fighting back, killing more than 1,000 Yellow Turban Army members.

After making continuous military achievements, Lu Zhi increased Guo Peng's number of troops, allowing Guo Peng to lead 500 cavalry, 1,500 infantrymen and dozens of crossbowmen on the arrow tower to attack the south gate of Guangzong County, and let Guo Peng take on the main attack task of a city gate.

After receiving the order, Guo Peng responded carefully to the Yellow Turban Army's counterattack, and there were always people around him protecting him with shields.

Whenever the Yellow Turban Army planned to counterattack, Guo Peng rarely went into battle himself, but sent Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to lead troops to fight back, staying in the rear to command, while also taking into account the authentic excavation work.

Since the tunnel was excavated, the Yellow Turban Army has shown no sign of damage. The targets of the tunnels attacked from the city were mounds and arrow towers, not tunnels, which made Guo Peng feel a little relieved.

If the Yellow Turban Army could not find that the Han army was digging tunnels, Zhang Jiao would inevitably be defeated within one month unless Zhang Jiao could create a miracle.

After all, Zhang Jiao is not a general and has not created miracles.

He did not find that the Han army was digging tunnels to destroy Guangzong County. He was determined to fight against the defensive counterattack and wanted to fight with the Han army. He felt that the Han army could not fight him, but it was a pity that the Han army could fight him.

On June 27, the south of the city tunnel built by Guo Peng was the first to complete.

On June 28, Lu Zhi ordered the fire to burn wooden stakes. With the unexpected noise, the not-so-high and solid city wall of Guangzong County collapsed.

"It's time to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! Lords! Kill!!!"

Guo Peng led the way, without riding a horse, and the soldiers around him did not ride a horse. They all walked, carried weapons of infantry fighting, and rushed to the collapse of the city wall with Guo Peng.

The Yellow Turban Army fought to the death, and the Han army attacked to the death, and the two sides launched an extremely tragic and unorganized hand-to-hand battle.

Guo Peng led the way, led his army to the city wall first, and opened the passage and rushed into the city wall first, killing the Yellow Turban Army's blocking troops, opening up the passage for the subsequent main forces.

Governor Lu Zhi was behind, and with a wave of his sword, the sound of war drums suddenly started to hit, and the Han army launched a general attack.

Guo Peng led the two thousand soldiers commanded by him to assault all the way forward, rushing forward like crazy, and no one in front of him could resist their rush.

Some of the Yellow Turban Army fled wildly, while others also rushed forward to fight against the Han army, but the Han army was better in terms of weapons and equipment and combat skills.

In addition, Lu Zhi promised a generous reward, so the officers rushed forward and soldiers followed behind.

Everyone has red eyes to get this hard-earned wealth, and their hearts are full of wealth and no longer care about their own lives.

Guo Peng was not like this at first, but when he encountered such a thing and was in such a general environment, he was more fierce than other officers, rushed faster, and was even more desperate.

He swung his sword to kill the enemy, and his ring-headed knife was broken and he kept snatching the ring-headed knife from the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the opposite side and turned it into his own weapon.

The personal soldiers protected Guo Peng and advanced with him. The corpses killed accumulated into mountains and blood and flowed into rivers. Everyone felt like they were washed away by blood, and their evil spirits soared into the sky.

People can really save their lives for wealth.

A large number of Han troops poured into Guangzong City, and the city was in chaos. In addition to the Yellow Turban Army holding weapons, women, children, young and old could also be seen, all of them were the families of the Yellow Turban Army.
