At this time, the reputation of the lead move has not yet been revealed, and Zhang Liao, the general of Jizhou, has only heard the names of Liyi, Chun Yuqiong and Siting Zhu, and Zhang Liao has followed Lu Bu all the way, so how do you know who this lead is to help.

When Zhang Liao saw that Zhao Zhao appeared, he said loudly to Zhao Zhao: "General Zhao, now my Wang Division has arrived, and the army is besieging the city." Gao Thorn Shi was outside, and Yuan Xianfu was unable to support it alone. Why don't the generals go out and surrender early, just in time for the day! ”

Pulling the trick in the city, after listening to it, he smiled slightly, and shouted to Zhang Liao under the city: "The lead has been led by General Yuan, and I don't want to be the one who betrays the master!" The word Hugh has to mention it again, General Zhang wants to take this city, although he comes to attack it! ”

Zhang Liao listened, turned his horse and returned to his own position. When he saw Zhao and Lu, he replied: "General, the main general in the city is very strong in resisting. I have a plan to make our army attack the city during the day, and take the opportunity to sneak into the city at night to find our people. At that time, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Ma Yi can be down with a drum. ”

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu glanced at each other, and said, "Just follow Wenyuan's plan." ”

Since the lead is unwilling to surrender, there is nothing to say, each by means. The drums suddenly sounded, the doors of the Qingzhou military camps were opened, and rows of siege equipment were slowly pushed out. Pulling on the top of the city tower, I saw the hideous instruments all over the mountains and fields slowly moving forward, and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Qingzhou craftsmen are unparalleled in the world, and today I saw it really true." "He sent troops out of the city before, cut down the trees around the city, and set fire to those who didn't have time to cut down, but he wanted the Qingzhou army to lack siege equipment. Who would have thought that in the Qingzhou Army, the logistics baggage battalion had brought everything.

In the past dynasties, everyone didn't like to siege the city, because the siege really didn't have too much technical content, and it all depended on the soldiers. The besieging side should be more courageous, and the defender should try not to make mistakes, around a city, you come with a sword, I will go with a sword, such a war is indeed a bit boring.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu also found it boring, they were both generals who preferred cavalry warfare, and they liked to lead rolling iron horses and gallop back and forth. This city is coming to attack one city after another, and it is really difficult for them. However, as a professional soldier, you can't just act according to your own preferences.

In the rumbling of the drums, the stone machine began to wield its might, and the current artillery operators have all been trained one by one. Pushing the stone machine to a delicate position, and then began to load, and with a command, the stone with the size of the grinding disc roared miserably, and rushed towards the city of Mayi.

Occasionally, some of them smashed into the air, and when they were about to fly to the position of the city wall, they suddenly lost power, and then with another whirl, they fell directly to the ground, and with a bang, they smashed into the dirt everywhere. More stones, but smashed on the city wall, huge kinetic energy, with the stones hit the wall hard, although not shaking, but standing on the top of the pull felt the vibration from the feet, the heart is still quite shocked. The stone machine of the Qingzhou Army is so accurate, how can this be good?

Several more stones flew over the walls of the city and into the city. But it didn't help. When the huge stones flew in, the soldiers on the city wall had already completed their dodging actions, so in addition to smashing a few holes in the ground of the city, they did not even scratch the enemy's oily skin.

After several rounds of fire, the stone launcher saw that the other siege vehicles were getting closer, so it stopped firing stone projectiles as often as possible, so as not to overstrain the key components and cause damage and become unusable. The stone machine was scattered and scattered with stones, and columns of archers followed behind the siege engine, standing still with the stone machine, and then began to rain arrows on the walls of Mayi to suppress it. Good cover for the robes and brothers who are carrying the ladder in the rear and ready to launch at any time.

From the very beginning, I knew that the city of Mayi was small, and after being besieged, I was afraid that it would be difficult to rescue, and in this case, military supplies became a big problem. If there is no replenishment of troops, how can this battle be fought?

From ancient times to the present, fighting a war is actually about the equipment and logistics of fighting. Whoever is better in these two things, regardless of the political influence and the stupidity of the commander, basically the victory will be in favor of whomever the victory will be.

Swords, guns, swords, halberds are good to say, and the archer's arrow replenishment is the most fatal. If one side of a siege is not suppressed by ranged troops, it will be a disaster. Imagine a party braving a rain of arrows to attack or defend a city, tsk, this picture.

In view of this, he came up with a plan early on, and he piled up many earthen bags and cowhide cloth at the head of the city to collect the arrows of the enemy. Arrows are shot into dirt and leather, and they don't even have to be sent to a blacksmith to repair them, they can be picked up and used. If he wasn't afraid of Qingzhou's military attack, he would even have the idea of filling the city with scarecrows.

The wealthy Qingzhou Army never thought that it would be like this. But even if you know, it doesn't matter if you're afraid. Anyway, we have a lot of arrows, so it's up to you. Bundles of arrows were piled up on the cart and pushed to the archers until they lost their arms and rotated.

Arrows rain in mid-air, you come and go. a lot. Under the cover of the archers, the large army in the rear also began their operation. The ladder cart was quickly pushed out, and in the roar of the fierce soldiers, it was pushed to the four walls of Mayi City, and then two strong and sharp hooks at the front end hooked the city wall. Next to the car, a team of archers shot arrows at it, and a team of shields held large shields for protection. The warriors behind dragged the knife upside down, and rushed up on the ladder as if flying towards the city.

What awaits them is the sword and spear that is waiting for them at the head of the city. The urgency to make a contribution overweighed the fear of death. Groups of people fell from the city, and groups of people followed their footsteps.

More and more Qingzhou troops attacked the city, but the lead still controlled the situation. On the one hand, he commanded and stabilized the army's mind. On the one hand, it is the city wall of Mayi. Mayi Castle was born out of war, so the inner side of its walls is not a straight wall, but a slope. The original purpose of this design was to allow the largest number of people to rush to the city for defense in the shortest possible time when war broke out.

With this benefit, it is much easier to mobilize troops.

Zhao Yun looked at the sky and said to Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, after fighting for a long time, the soldiers are probably tired, it is better to withdraw the troops and make plans at night." ”

In siege warfare, there are few who never rest from morning to night, and if nothing else, the physical strength of the soldiers cannot keep up. Unless there is a large army to rotate, or the city that is being attacked is crumbling. Siege also requires a controlled pace. You can't let the soldiers use up all their physical strength in one go. After attacking for a while, there is no chance to take advantage of it, so it is necessary to consider withdrawing and allowing the soldiers to rest and replenish their strength.

With the sound of gold, the Qingzhou army slowly retreated from the city in groups, and the defenders at the city head also breathed a sigh of relief, and did not chase and kill but sat on the ground, leaning on the city head to seize the time to recover their strength. Who knows when the next siege will be?

When Ma Yi was besieged, Liu Bei's side also began to contact Yuan Shao's army. The Qingzhou army swept across the Qinghe River, and then stopped here at the boundary bridge.
