Rushing through the moat, the Yellow Turban soldiers began to attack the head of Jinan City, until this time Zheng Meng had not ordered to increase the number of archers, and there were already a thousand crossbowmen on standby in the inner city. Liu Yi observed this detail very carefully, the Qinghe city wall is three zhang high, and the height of the cloud ladder should be about three zhang and four feet, it should be said that the cloud ladder of the Yellow Turban Army is still quite simple, and the top does not have the hook that Lang Sheng imagined to hook the city wall to increase stability, which is also related to the casting level at this time.

However, even if there is no hook to rely on the weight of the ladder itself and the weight of the soldiers, it is not easy for the defenders to overturn the ladder, so most of the practices are to attack the soldiers who climb on the ladders. At a height of three zhang, a stone the size of a human head falls vertically, as long as it is next to it, it is either ** burst or the bones are broken, and the body cannot make an effective evasion action on the ladder, and the casualties are conceivable.

For a time, dozens of cloud ladders were erected on the front of hundreds of zhang, and the response of the Han army in the face of the enemy's siege was to form an inverted triangle around the top of the ladder in groups of three to attack with falling stones, and there were many soldiers around them to relay stones to them, and at the same time, the archers at the battlement did not stop, but their target was not the enemy on the ladder, but still the first line of the moat, and the top of the city gate was the focus of the rockfall area, and the enemy army should not be approached too much.

"Okay, smash them again when you see them, and beat them hard." Zheng Meng and his two personal soldiers continued to parade around the city to observe the battle situation, and his heart was more and more recognizable to what the general had said to him before, "We must kill and injure the enemy in the most efficient way"! The triangular battle formation in front of you is an example, the three soldiers fall stones to attack, and the people behind them can be replaced at any time in addition to passing stones, this is the best configuration in terms of the angle of attacking the ladder, and not only can the soldiers get rotation rest, but the consumption of falling rocks will also be reduced, there are many times when Zheng Meng is quite strange in his heart, how can our general know so many things?

The battle formation and configuration of the Han army in front of him was summarized by Liu Yi according to the current method of defending the city, and the triangular battle formation also passed a detailed calculation, according to this frequency, the rockfall reserves in the city can support more than three months, and with just the right organization, it can be said that the killing efficiency of each falling stone will be improved, and the fact that the Yellow Turban soldiers have fallen has also verified the correctness of this tactic.

"General, it's almost time." Above the city tower, Puyang Feng saw that there were more and more Yellow Turban soldiers gathered under the city, and the Han army was still only fighting the enemy army on the ladder, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he said to Liu Yi, at this time, there were Bao Zhong and his generals present, and he naturally called it very official.

"Hehe, don't worry, let them gather a little more, and besides, the city guard is Zheng Meng, I will order it to be banned when I issue a military order!" Liu Yi said with a smile, it was the precise attack of the Han army that made the enemy relax his vigilance, and Lang Sheng would not let go of the opportunity, but he also had full confidence in Zheng Meng's command.

"Not enough? What a big appetite. Pu Yangfeng nodded and said in a low voice, this is Liu Yi's character all along, he can destroy two thousand enemies and never one thousand eight, and he can really calm down.

"This appetite is still big, and it's almost the same to get rid of Zhang Yan's 200,000 army." Liu Yi said with a smile. Pu Yangfeng and the others couldn't help but shake their heads slightly when they heard this, you really dare to think about it, but you can also see how relaxed Lang Sheng is at this time.

Under the extremely efficient and precise attack of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Army was stunned for nearly half an hour and did not attack the city tower, as for the city gate, few people had the courage to attack it, and what was waiting for them there was not only the falling rock, but also the golden soup boiling oil! What kind of tragic word is poured on the head from top to bottom? The face is black, red, and the skin is peeling off and rolling, wailing, and it is unbearable to witness! It was luck to break through the blockade without siege equipment, and ordinary soldiers had no way to face the strong city gates.

Under the anticipation of the Yellow Turban soldiers, their siege equipment finally passed through the moat and arrived at the battlefield, at this time, Zheng Meng at the head of the city first glanced back at Liu Yi, and saw that he nodded slightly and waved his hand vigorously, more than 1,000 archers under the city quickly climbed the city tower, and the soldiers who were originally responsible for transporting the stones also approached the city wall with falling stones. The Yellow Turban soldiers, who couldn't dodge, were caught off guard and ran away with their heads hugged.

The tactics of using precision strikes did not mean that Liu Yi would not concentrate his firepower, and the rhythm of the previous paragraph also had an effect at this moment, and it was not until this time that the Han defenders began to break out, and it was not just to paralyze the nerves of the enemy, because there were already dozens of siege engines of the Yellow Turban Army that had crossed the moat. Here, Liu Yi raised the red flag, and Zheng Meng immediately launched a fierce blow around the city gate.

Just when the Yellow Turban Army was a little chaotic by the sudden increase in the strength of the Han Army, the north gate of the Qinghe River was unexpectedly opened, and a team of black-clothed Han soldiers with swords and shields were killed. It is the Ganning Gan Xingba who has made great contributions to the magic arrow, the horse fights the purple shark and breaks the waves, and the foot battle is a double iron halberd.

Gan Ning's bravery made Bao Zhong and his generals all look sideways! You must know that this is not a horse war, this person is purely relying on his own strength, so he can pay it back? However, Liu Yi and the generals are accustomed to this, such a huge force can only be done by only two people in the Dingbian army, Lang Sheng commands the battle at the head of the city, and the city is naturally Jinfan Ganning, and those soldiers in black with swords and shields are the Qinglong Battalion"!

Under the leadership of Gan Ning, the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion all competed to be the first, killing the Yellow Turban Army with corpses all over the place, and the sword and shield showed great power in the melee! The Qinglong Battalion has been tempered by Xiao Yi and Gan Ning, and it is a first-class foot soldier of the Han Dynasty, and at this time, there is such a fierce general as Xingba who attacks first, or the Yellow Turban who is caught in a melee, where can the latter resist it? Not to mention that after following the Qinglong camp, Pei Yuanshao ascended the camp first, and he also killed like a tiger descending the mountain, and the two strong armies were like two dragons strangling the enemy to pieces!

It's just half a cup of tea, and the Yellow Turban soldiers under the city are still killed by Gan Ning Pei Yuanshao and are scattered and fled, but when they come and go, it's not so simple, and many Yellow Turban soldiers jump directly into the moat. They did not pursue these fleeing enemies Ganning Pei Yuanshao with all their might, their targets were aimed at those siege equipment, and they lost the cover of the infantry army, and these big guys could only be destroyed in front of the first attack.

Gan Ning led the Qinglong Battalion, Pei Yuanshao led the Xuanwu Battalion, and the two strong brigades took advantage of the chaos to gain a lot, not only killing and injuring more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, but also destroying four enemy rushing cars, 17 wells, and after dismantling, they had to be sprinkled with sulfur powder and burned! The ladders that were erected above the city were drawn up by the defenders after losing the protection of the soldiers, and for a time there were no Yellow Turban soldiers in the moat except for the corpses everywhere, and after completing the task, they fell into battle and retreated into the city very quickly.

From the opening of the city gate to the attack of the two armies, and then to the defeat of the enemy army and the destruction of the equipment, it was only half an hour, and Bao Zhong was a little dumbfounded by the changes, one was to admire the combat power of the second battalion of Qinglong Xuanwu, and the other was also shocked and the power of the short assault that Liu Yi said! If he really changed to defend the city, he would not be able to play the tricks of precise strikes before, let alone open the city gate to attack under the watchful eye of the enemy.

Looking at the Qinghe City in front of him and the mess under the city, Zhang Yan was also a little dazed, it was obvious that everything that happened today Liu Yi was premeditated, otherwise the Han army's tactical switch and the timing of the attack would not have been so accurate! In his many years of experience in leading the army, Liu Langsheng, who can still play such tricks in the defense of the city, is still the first person, I am afraid that from the beginning, the opponent's tactical design is a siege machine for rushing.

Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of him who couldn't even stop the arrows of the warlord's team, Zhang Yan was even more worried, he had already experienced the power of the Iron Cavalry Battalion cavalry in the battle with Moyunling, and the well-trained and strong combat power of the Han army was not under the terrible black cavalry at all? This is just the first contact he suffered thousands of casualties, but he didn't even go up to the head of Qinghe City once, and the Han army was almost unharmed, if you want to calculate it in this way, how long does it take for an army of 200,000?

"Herald Mingjin." Shook his head and waved away those bad thoughts, although he was unwilling, Zhang Yan still gave the order to retreat, it was not that he could not afford to pay the price of thousands of casualties, although the casualties in front of him in front of a Xiongcheng like Qinghe were not unacceptable. The key is that when facing the delicate tactics of the defenders, Zhang Yan found that he had no effective way to deal with it at all, and at this time, attacking him again would not only lose more soldiers and equipment, but also suffer a fatal blow to his morale, so the gains would outweigh the losses.

How can we restrain the defenders' offensive and defensive tactics? Zhang Yan kept thinking, he only fought Beicheng today, so is it okay to attack from three sides in the future? But the tactics of the guards attacking three sides at the same time meant that he had to pay three times as many casualties, and Zhang Yan was unwilling to do so until he came up with a targeted tactic. And when he saw the ease on the faces of his corporal after he ordered him to retreat, Zhang Yan was even more glad that he had given the order in time, and his morale was already low in front of the strong defenders.

"The enemy retreated, the enemy retreated." Watching the Yellow Turban Army slowly retreat, Zheng Meng was the first to raise his arms and shout, and then the entire city tower was also the cheers of the defenders, of course, it is worth being happy to repel the enemy army, today's victory is still so easy, and it has caused great damage to the enemy, which can be called a big victory.

"Knowing advance and retreat, knowing the gains and losses, Zhang Yunmiao is also worthy of the Yellow Turban General." At this time, Liu Yi, who was on top of the city tower, praised Zhang Yan with a slight smile, in fact, seeing that he had carefully designed tactics and succeeded in winning a big victory one by one, Lang Sheng was also very excited, his nervousness was not visible to others, after all, this was the first time to lead a large army to guard the city. However, as the commander of the three armies, his words and deeds will have an impact on the morale of the three armies, so he must pretend to be thirteen when he should pretend!

It is not surprising that Qi Jun and other generals are familiar with Liu Yi, although it is only the enemy's first siege victory, and it is also expected, but the tactics and preparations proposed by Lang Sheng before have obviously had a great effect, and he secretly admires and at the same time has a happy face. As for Bao Zhong and the generals of the original defenders of Jinan, Liu Yi's gaze has changed now, no matter how it was before, it was better to see him command Ruoding to destroy the enemy army, many methods are also to think about others, and what is even more admirable is that General Liu's light wind after the big victory!

After Zheng Meng led the soldiers to cheer for a while, he turned to face the city tower and shouted: "The general is mighty, the general is mighty!" The soldiers guarding the city also immediately responded when they heard the voice, this is not the effect of Liu Yi pretending to be thirteen, but their sincerity, these days the general has personally stayed in the city and almost taught them tactics hand-in-hand, and they have received results today, and they are also fighting heartily, isn't it the general's work? According to the practice in today's army, this general did not add his surname before to refer to Liu Yi.

"Today's victory is due to Zheng Sima's command, your brothers have meritorious battles, and there are also the merits of Captain Gan and Captain Pei and the second battalion of Qinglong Xuanwu, and Zhang Yanxiao will definitely celebrate your achievements when they are repelled." Liu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile very magnificently, and the soldiers heard the joy even stronger.

"Today's victory, brothers, can you be happy?" After the laughter stopped, Liu Yi asked again in a loud voice.

"Happy, happy...... The soldiers at the head of the city replied in unison. ”

"Hahaha, if I want to say that it is not happy enough, if you destroy the enemy army and capture Zhang Yan alive, it will be called happy!" Liu Yi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly before speaking.

"Annihilate the enemy, capture Zhang Yan alive, annihilate the enemy, capture Zhang Yan alive......" The soldiers don't think too much, the general's words are to boost their morale, and they have never been defeated in the battle with the general, followed by a tsunami-like shout, thousands of people shouted at the same time Zhang Yan in retreat can also hear it clearly!

"Okay, Zheng Sima sent someone to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then rest, the archers returned to the camp to remember the massage method I gave you, and Zheng Sima took care of everything and came to my camp." Liu Yi pressed down with both hands to stop the cheers of the soldiers, and after speaking, he and the generals went to the tent to discuss matters, today is indeed a big victory, but it is not without flaws, the enemy army did not show all its strength, as the commander of the army, victory is only a thing of the past, the soldiers can cheer and be excited about this, but Liu Yi will soon forget about it. It is what he should do to find out in time the shortcomings of today's operations and make up for them, and to judge the strategy that the enemy will probably adopt in the future.

"Xingba, Yuan Shao, you two lead the army to take the hook and go out for a while, unload all the sandbags in the river for me, and then discuss the affairs of the handsome account." When he went down to the city tower and saw Gan Ning, Pei Yuanshao, Xiao Yi and ordered again, with the power of the great victory and the cover that the city head could give, with the combat power of the second battalion of Qinglong Xuanwu, he was not afraid of a counter-assault from the enemy, and today it also verified the power of the short assault tactics.

"No, no!" When the two heard this, they went to the city, and Liu Yi and the generals returned to the tent.

After a big victory, not only the defenders celebrated, but the people of Jinan who got the news were also deeply relieved, after all, they still heard the misery of the city being broken, although there was a sense of security brought by General Liu and those brave soldiers under his command, but they were somewhat apprehensive. Especially before the arrival of the Yellow Turban, the atmosphere in the city was still a little depressing, but today's Yisheng has a way to vent this depression, coupled with Liu Yi's previous propaganda, almost all the people have more trust in it.

In the evening, the large and small restaurants and taverns in Jinan City appear to be extraordinarily lively, the army outside the city is besieged, many people can also seek some psychological comfort, generally at this time for the silver money will be seen more lightly, usually reluctant to spend money at this time will also come out to spend a while.

Yang Qing is such a person, he is the husband in the city, he didn't dare to come out at home when the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city this morning, and blocked the door with heavy objects, knowing that this move was useless but it would always be more comfortable, in fact, what he didn't know was that at the same time there were many people in Jinan City doing the same thing! After three hours of high nervousness, he finally heard the cheers of the Han army from the city, and Yang Qing, who breathed a sigh of relief, asked his wife for money to go out to drink, and his wife, who had always been diligent and thrifty and never spent a penny, also made an exception and gave him a string of money, which was enough for a good meal in the tavern.

When I arrived at the Tavern in the west of the city, business was better today than usual, and a group of people surrounded an old man who was listening to him with great interest, and the old man was full of red light and his voice was loud: "Do you know? This General Liu is the god of heaven, my kid is at the head of the city, the general's second brother Gan Ning has the strength of a thousand catties in his arms to open an eight-stone strong bow, and there is no arrow within 300 steps! A person shot more than 100 moths and thieves on the city tower, and there was an arrow that pierced two people, and he would definitely be able to hold it in our Jinan City. ”

"Well said......" After the old man finished speaking, there was a round of applause around him, and Yang Qing also applauded behind him.

"Shopkeeper, blanch a pot of wine, and get some beef and side dishes." Finding a corner position to sit down, Yang Qing raised his voice and shouted, I have money in my hand today, and I have enough confidence.

"Hello guest officer, there are side dishes for wine, then there will be no beef, General Liu's order, what are those strategic materials, they must be in charge before breaking the enemy." The one who ran over said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, let's take a small dish, brother, did the general's order take away your beef together?" Hearing that there was no beef, Yang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he regretted it as soon as he shouted out, and he could drink a few more drinks with this money, but he was quite curious when he heard that it was General Liu's military order.

"Hehe, it's not to take it away or to buy it, the general is giving the money at the market price, and the real money is not in arrears." Hearing this, the runner replied proudly that he had served him a cup of tea when the general came that day.

"What the little brother said is that this is what makes General Liu different, you see the heroes and heroes under his command, but who has bullied ordinary people in this Qinghe City? My boy said that the general's military law is strict. The old man over there took a sip of tea and then spoke again.

"What Elder Zhang said is that not only do you not bully our people, but you are very kind, as long as you send food to the barracks, not only can you give more money, but you also greet each other with a smile, which is indeed not like before." After Zhang Lao finished speaking, everyone nodded, and immediately someone said, the military discipline of the Dingbian Army and the border army is extremely strict, and Liu Yi is even more severely punished in disturbing the people, so they are much friendlier to the people even with the defenders of the original Qinghe.

"Elder Zhang, you said that it would be good if this General Xiao didn't leave, Qinghe City has him here, and his heart is also steady." After a while, someone said that many people had seen Xiao Yi patrol the city in the past few days.

"Hehe, even if it doesn't work, a young hero like General Liu will definitely not stay in one place for too long when this moth and thief are everywhere, and the battle is not over, if you want me to say that although you put your heart in your stomach, the yellow scarf outside the city is not the general's opponent at all." The old man smiled slightly and said again, and everyone also said yes again and again, and then some anecdotes about Xiao Yi began to spread among the people.
