"Pass this on, the sword and shield soldiers will cover you, and the soldiers behind will give me a bag of sand to fill up these pits." Chi You said calmly as he stared at Chen Liu not far away.
On Li day, Chi You did not choose any more generals, and Chi You directly began preparations for the siege.
Although the Yellow Turbans have the two top generals Chi You and Xiang Yu, the Han army also has two generals, Xing Tian and Jiang Song, who are not weaker than the Yellow Turbans.
It can be said that in terms of the top warriors, the two sides are on an equal footing.
But the generals below these people, the Yellow Turbans are much inferior. Xue Rengui, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xue Ju, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Da Shi Ci... these people are far from comparable to the remaining generals of the Yellow Turbans. .
Therefore, if it is a fighting general, the Yellow Turban's chances of winning are not high, and this is the most direct reason why Chi You directly started to attack the city.
"Send the order, the archers start throwing arrows." Looking at the Yellow Turban soldiers starting to fill the holes below the city, Li Xiang said coldly from the top of the city.
Today, the four Zhonglang generals of the Han Dynasty each guard one side. Lu Zhi is in charge of the east gate, Huangfu Song is in charge of the west, and Zhu Jun is in charge of defending the south gate. As for the north where Chi You mainly attacks, Lu Zhi gives it to Li Xiang to defend.
In fact, Lu Zhi, who was supposed to be the commander-in-chief of an army, came to fight against the Yellow Turban general Chi You. However, Lu Zhi believed that he was no match for Chi You, so he handed Chi You over to Li Xiang to deal with. Of course, it was not so much that To leave it to Li Xiang, it would be better to say that Lu Zhi believed in Xue Rengui, who was under Li Xiang's command.
"Boo...hoo...boo..."
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at them. Although they were protected by sword and shield soldiers, the Yellow Turbans still killed hundreds of soldiers in an instant.
"Send the order, all soldiers spread out and don't stand in one place." Looking at the miserable state of the yellow scarf soldiers in front of him, Chi You frowned and ordered.
"Everyone used sandbags to protect my chest." Zhang Dingbian on the side immediately added.
After two orders, the situation of the Yellow Turbans immediately improved a lot, and the screams on the battlefield were also reduced a lot.
However, the size of sandbags is still limited after all. Although these yellow scarf soldiers used sandbags to protect their chests, they still could not cover other parts of their bodies.
The lucky ones just passed by and suffered some skin injuries. The unlucky ones were hit in the arms and thighs. Under the severe pain, these soldiers subconsciously dropped the sandbags and held on to their wounds, but held on tightly. Then most of these soldiers were killed by the arrows fired at them.
"With the order, the archers stop throwing and start shooting accurately."
Seeing that the casualties of the Yellow Turban soldiers began to decrease under the two orders of Chi You and Zhang Dingbian, Li Xiang immediately began to change his orders.
However, although the archers of the Han army are considered well-trained, it is obvious that the standards of these people are still far from the level of sharp archers.
Although under Li Xiang's order, these archers chose to aim before shooting, their efficiency obviously did not improve, and even decreased slightly.
Even so, Li Xiang didn't care about it. Although the Han army had accumulated countless weapons and equipment in Chenliu, this battle was still going to take long. It was better to save some now than to have no use later.
"Ah...ah...ah..." The screams suddenly spread throughout the battlefield.
Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out that several Yellow Turban soldiers had stepped forward and fell into a deep pit, and in the deep pit, wood cut into sharp thorns was stuck upside down.
This man was lucky just now, as the wooden thorn only penetrated into his thigh. But the same could not be said for his two companions. They were directly stabbed in the vital part, and they lost their breath on the spot.
"Ah...ah...ah..." Several more shrill screams came. Obviously, there was more than one deep pit like before, and there would even be many, many more.
When the Yellow Turban generals in the distance saw this scene, their faces all darkened.
In fact, when Li Xiang designed and excavated these pits, he divided them into two types: open pits and dark pits.
The pit was originally filled by the Yellow Turban soldiers. Of course, if the Yellow Turban soldiers wanted to complete this task, they had to bear the arrows shot by the Han army.
In addition to the open pits, there were also a large number of hidden pits. After being dug, these pits were covered up by the Han soldiers, and on the surface they looked the same as ordinary ground.
But in fact, these pits are full of spikes. Once someone falls through the air, even if he survives by chance, he will at least be disabled for the rest of his life.
As the number of Yellow Turban soldiers falling into the dark pit continued to increase, the screams on the battlefield became more and more frequent, and some timid Yellow Turban soldiers were even so frightened that they dropped the sandbags in their hands and turned around and ran away.
.
However, this type of Yellow Turban soldiers naturally did not end well. Without the protection of sandbags, they were just living targets in the eyes of the Han soldiers. Even if they could escape with their lives under the Han army's bows and arrows, Chi You would not treat them badly.
How could some deserters tolerate it? You can only imagine what happened to them later.
"He Yi, He Man, I order you two to lead a group of spearmen and go forward quickly to explore the way." Chi You said coldly.
In fact, Chi You's method was very simple. Every time the pikemen took a step, they stabbed a spear into the ground in front of them. Although this method was simple, it was practical. Chi You used this method to explore many hidden pits.
The holes Li Xiang requested to be dug were all within a stone's throw of the city wall. Otherwise, no matter how far they were, the archers on the city wall would not be able to reach them.
Even if the city wall is condescending and the arrow range is longer, the distance is still limited. And at this short distance of an arrow, even if there is protection from sword and shield soldiers, it will not be long until these spearmen clear these hidden pits.
They tried it out one by one, and there were thousands of casualties.
"Ding, Xue Rengui's three-arrow skill is activated, the basic force is 105, the Sky-shattering Bow is 1, the first arrow has 6 force, the second arrow has 6 more force, and Xue Rengui's current force has increased to 118."
The enemy generals all came to the door. Although He Yi and He Man were just two small figures, Li Xiang still accepted them without politeness.
What's more, the force value of these two people happened to have reached 80 points. After killing them, they can gain some more summoning points.
I saw Xue Rengui shooting two arrows, two fine iron long arrows piercing He Yi. He Man, the second general, grabbed the shield in his hand and pierced his chest. This shows how powerful Xue Rengui's two arrows were.
"Ding, congratulations to the host's generals for killing He Yi and He Man and gaining 16 summoning points."
"Not bad archery skills." Xiang Yu, who was standing next to Chi You, also slightly admired after seeing this.
"Brother Xiang, this man's archery skills are more than that. If you and I were careless, we may not be able to catch this man's arrow safely." Chi You couldn't help but say with a hint of fear after remembering the scene under Ye City.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu's eyes narrowed. Being able to make even Chi You, who was on par with him, so fearful showed how strong this man's archery skills were.
