A county like Zhao County is actually not that difficult to capture.
There is no moat, and there are no buildings such as towers or urns outside the city. The only thing that can be relied on is the eight-meter city wall that is much higher than the average county town.
It is its greatest barrier against the outside world.
At this time, Cao's army, under the amateur command of Kaohsiung Wu Yuan and others and the poor shooting of the Tianfu soldiers, easily approached this only barrier.
Just the first wave of charge accomplished the biggest strategic goal of the whole morning among the banned targets.
This made him overjoyed and greatly increased the confidence of everyone in Cao's army.
These yellow turban thieves are indeed so incompetent.
So with the desire for killing and military glory, the soldiers rushed forward one after another with blood-red eyes amidst the shouts of killing.
The ladder is placed against the city wall, and the chariot is pressed against the city gate.
Amidst the huge muffled sound, the collision started violently.
At the same time, countless people continued to climb up the ladder.
The panicked Tianfu Army, under the orders of several commanders who were also defending the city for the first time, began to throw the rolling stones and giant trees that had been prepared.
Immediately, screams came one after another.
It's just that the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light.
Their accuracy was really poor, and the actual damage caused was not very high.
At any time, the first batch of soldiers attacking the city are all tough and brave men in the attacking formation.
Facing the screams around them and the rain of arrows and rolling stones, most people didn't flinch at all.
As a result, people continued to board the city.
Almost everyone does the same thing.
Jumped down from the ladder, installed the grappling hook, and waved his weapon to protect the footing while making room for his colleagues behind him to land.
Scenes like this appeared in the eyes of the leaders of the two armies at the same time.
The scenes that followed were even more clear-cut between strong and weak.
Cao's army was not afraid of death, and Tianfu's army was dwarfed by comparison.
When Cao Cao's army landed, they were often besieged by a group of people, but they still held on to the narrow position. At the same time, they could counterattack with fewer enemies and more enemies.
They are still those yellow thieves and thieves.
At this moment, the same thought flashed through Wang Zheng and Yu Jin's minds.
"How weak."
The situation has slowly changed.
Even if it was expected or even intentional, Wang Zheng, who was watching, could not help but sigh.
During this period, although nearly a hundred Cao soldiers attacking the city were hacked, smashed, and shot to death, our own casualties were several times that of the other side.
Even though there is a gap in equipment, after all, weapons and armor are currently given priority to the Tianzhu Camp and the Tiangang Army.
But after all, there is still the advantage of being condescending and using more people to defeat less people.
Gradually, the area of colorful colors on the top of the city became smaller and smaller, and the black torrent became larger and larger.
The neat black military uniforms slowly began to overpower the colorful coarse linen clothes.
Except for the west gate where the royal government is located.
During this period, he naturally took the lead and swept back and forth on the long city.
As long as the people who climbed to the top of the city were too brave, or the number of people gathered was too large.
Wang Zheng immediately rushed over and crushed it to pieces.
I don’t know how many times this has happened.
He once again rushed towards a crowd of Cao soldiers, and the Tianfu soldiers, tired from the long battle, immediately scattered and retreated.
General Tiangong is about to show off his power again, get out of the way, be careful not to be accidentally injured!
This Cao army seems to have just set foot on the city. I don't know what happened to the previous...several groups of seniors. Seeing Wang Zheng charging towards them, they were not surprised but overjoyed, and their eyes lit up.
You can tell by the clothes this young man is wearing that he is the leader of the bandits here. This is because military merit automatically comes to your door!
The two armored sergeants with the best uniforms rushed up first with grins.
The next moment, Wang Zheng directly swung his knife and drew a perfect aperture.
In an instant, the two men were chopped to pieces, their heads missing.
Under the rain of blood, others were either stunned or frightened, and indeed took half a step back unconsciously at the same time.
At this time, Wang Zheng had already sprinted forward and rushed into the crowd in an instant.
With extraordinary strength and speed, double-digit killings were completed in just a few breaths.
When the last Cao Jun was kicked away by him, there was no scream in the air, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Without stopping for a moment, Wang Zheng continued to rush down another enemy group.
Wherever the long sword was directed, it set off a violent wind of death and blood.
One after another, human bodies and armor were separated under the butcher's knife, and even the entire body was chopped into pieces.
When there was no longer a black figure at the top of Ximen City, Wang Zheng finally stopped and exhaled a breath.
After fighting for an hour continuously, although he was not injured, he finally felt the intense physical exertion for the first time.
At this time, he once again had time to look at the situation at the top of the other north and south walls.
His brows suddenly wrinkled.
Is it almost impossible to hold on for even half a day?
"Immediately call all the people to the top of the city to help defend the city."
Looking at the soldiers beside him, Wang Zheng ordered.
"promise."
Under the city.
Yu Jin, who had been watching the battle, was also evaluating the command level of Wang Zheng's defense of the city and the true combat power of this yellow scarf bandit.
The performance of both the former and the latter was beyond his expectations.
Worse than he expected.
At first, he was deeply afraid that the enemy was deliberately showing weakness, but at this moment, he was finally sure.
It's not a sign of weakness, it's really weak.
His expression became more relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel proud of his sharp eyesight and ability to see fire.
Sure enough, we seized the opportunity!
The thief was able to deceive Niu Gai into entering the city. It was expected that he was somewhat clever, but in actual marching operations, he was so crude that it was ridiculous.
This can be seen from the aspect of defending the city.
The various measures and preparations show that the thief is serious but inexperienced. This cannot be faked.
And the combat strength of the opponent's army is even more fragile.
You must know that the first wave of attacks was more of a probing intention.
As a result, whether it was approaching the city wall or ascending to the top of the city, these most difficult steps in the siege were accomplished very easily.
This proves a point.
Just as he expected, after the opponent wiped out a thousand cavalry, their own strength was also greatly depleted.
Therefore, when defending the city, not only Wang Zheng, the leader of the thieves, went into battle in person, but also all the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were sent up.
You know, he still had one thousand of his most elite soldiers left behind at this time.
In addition, Yu Jin deliberately left the east side unattacked and stormed the other three city gates. He also wanted to test it a second time to see if the opponent still had any remaining strength.
As a result, under his constant attention, Ximen had already fought to such an extent. No matter how brave the bandit leader Wang Zheng was, and his soldiers were fierce and dangerous, his subordinates would not dare to let their lord put themselves in danger like this, right?
Even in this situation, the east side has never sent troops to support.
This is not a mistake, after all, city gates cannot be left unguarded.
But it exposed the plight of thieves.
Yu Jin was convinced that the yellow turban bandits had used all their cards.
