Before dawn, Zhang Jiao was doing pre-war mobilization.
"Soldiers, where is in front of you? It's the city of Xuzhou, its delicious food, and its beauties!"
"A small city can't stop us at all!"
"If you break through the city, there will be delicious food and beauties!"
"Take dawn as a signal, attack the city and conquer Xuzhou City. Each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels, beauties of your choice, and delicacies to eat as you please!"
Zhang Jiao pointed at Xuzhou City and said some kind words first.
Then, he talked about the consequences.
"If you can't break Xuzhou City, then you can only eat your compatriots, and you may even be eaten!"
"I will give you one more chance to attack Xuzhou City at all costs!"
Zhang Jiao raised his weapon and spoke of the consequences of failure.
To put it in simple words, if you can conquer the city, you will have everything you want. If you cannot conquer it, you will have nothing, and it will even be used as food.
The entire Yellow Turban Army was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and their fighting spirit was ignited.
Either you kill it and you get everything, or you don't get it and you get nothing.
In the city, Liu Bei was also giving pre-battle speeches.
"Have you seen? How our compatriots and comrades-in-arms were treated by them yesterday!"
"Once the Yellow Turban Army enters the city, think about how your family, friends, wives, children, and children will be treated!"
"We are not only guarding Xuzhou City, but also our home!"
"If this city is defended, we will be safe. If we cannot defend it, you will know the consequences."
"Do you dare to fight to the death?"
Liu Bei shouted loudly.
All the soldiers stood up and said: "Dare you!"
"Defend Xuzhou!" Liu Bei raised his double swords high.
"Hold the city wall!" everyone shouted in unison.
Today's battle will be even more intense than yesterday, and the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to eat meat all day long.
They couldn't wait to rush in and seize everything in the city.
The sun slowly rises in the east, and the morning light pierces the darkness.
"Kill!" Zhang Jiao pointed his sword, and more than 200,000 Yellow Turban troops all rushed towards the east gate.
"Guard our home!" Liu Bei led his soldiers and first used catapults to remotely consume a wave.
When the enemy gets close, he kills them with crossbow arrows.
A condescending attack can make the arrow fly farther.
Originally, the optimal shooting distance was between fifty and a hundred steps, but if you stand on a high place and shoot downwards, you can attack from a hundred steps away.
Gold builds a bridge on the moat and prepares to climb the tower.
"Get ready!" Liu Bei shouted.
"fall!"
The soldiers on the city wall took water and poured it on them.
"Crash..."
The water poured down, and some soldiers who were climbing the wall were directly knocked down by the water.
It rained all day yesterday, and the clothes of the Yellow Turban Army were already wet, but now they were washed away by the water. Coupled with the cold weather in the early morning, many people were shivering from the cold.
Especially when he fell into the moat, he lost his combat effectiveness directly.
Liu Bei stood on the city wall, looking at the Yellow Turban Army behind him, knowing that today would be a difficult battle.
In order to save materials, we can only wash it with last night's rain first.
The battle started, but the water level of the moat rose and became a natural barrier, making it much more difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city.
Within the city.
Zhou Sheng listened to the battle outside the city and took a sip of wine, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
The 300,000 Yellow Turban Army cannot all die.
Do they know that some of them will be conquered by Cao Cao and some by Liu Bei? These are the babies of their growing experience.
"Sir, when I came here, I sensed that Luoyang was sending troops." Jiang Shui suddenly thought of it and said immediately.
He was previously curious about where Luoyang was sending troops, but now he realized that Luoyang was sending troops here.
"Luoyang sent troops?" Zhou Sheng was stunned.
If Luoyang sends troops, the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to hold on for long.
"According to your calculations, when will it arrive?" Zhou Sheng looked at Jiang Shui and asked.
"It's actually not that far from Luoyang to Xuzhou. If you walk, it will take more than ten days to get there. But those who come out of Luoyang are well-equipped cavalry. At the speed of the cavalry, they can arrive in three days.
That's tomorrow." Jiang Shui replied.
"Tomorrow..." Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked:
"Approximately how many soldiers and horses are there?"
"A rough estimate is about six thousand."
"Six thousand can't defeat the more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Army."u Oh.
"Enough." Jiang Shui explained: "Six thousand elite cavalry are enough to cut through the formation of more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Army."
"Moreover, the leader is Lu Bu, the most powerful warrior."
"Lu Bu?" Zhou Sheng heard the name Lu Bu and wanted to meet him.
Lu Bu in the history of the Three Kingdoms was a brave and skilled general, but he was also a reckless man.
Moreover, he is brave and foolhardy and is easily seduced by wine and sex.
He is a man who is extremely masculine, but at the same time he is a thief and a father. He is a very contradictory person.
As for whether he was a good person, Zhou Sheng did not dare to make a judgment.
In terms of combat power, Lu Bu is the strongest; but his character is average and he has no brains.
He can only be a general, not a commander-in-chief.
"Yes, Lu Bu's personal strength is very strong, and his ability to lead troops is not weak. With him commanding six thousand cavalry, he can completely intersperse the Yellow Turban Army. These Yellow Turban Army are not regular troops and cannot form formations to withstand Lu Bu's impact." Jiang Shui continued.
said.
"I have heard of him. If it is really him, then there is a high probability that he is safe." When Zhou Sheng said this, he lowered his voice and said:
"If Tianzun takes action and you and the other Six Meridian Tomb Guards stop him, Tianzun doesn't know that I'm following him, so it's not convenient for me to take action now."
Hearing this, Jiang Shui nodded.
"yes."
"In addition, please initiate connections to help me find people, Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang and Yang Shirley." Zhou Sheng continued.
Zhou Sheng himself wanted to find the three of them in the vast sea of people, which was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.
It would be better to let the Seven Meridian Tomb Guards help. When the time comes, they will notify their dead soldiers and search for them nationwide. This will be easier.
"Oh." Jiang Shui nodded, then raised his head and asked, "By the way, do they have any characteristics?"
"Characteristics... I know how to rob graves."
Jiang Shui:......
outside the city.
The battle started in the morning and lasted until noon. Shuangfeng was exhausted.
"Change the back row to the front row and keep killing!" Zhang Jiao gave the order.
He has more than 200,000 soldiers, who can attack in turns.
In Xuzhou City, there are only 30,000 soldiers left, and they can only support three rounds at most.
The difference in military strength is nearly ten times.
If Xuzhou City had not been easy to defend and difficult to attack, it might not have lasted so long.
As the sun rises at noon, his blazing heat arrives.
The resting soldiers lay on the ground, drying their clothes in the warmth of the sun.
But at the same time, they were all huddled up, feeling hot and cold, and some were still unclear in their thinking.
