In You County, the rapid beating of war drums sounded from early morning to noon, and Taishi Ci's army also attacked from early morning to noon. On the tragic battlefield, the sound of drums, roars, screams, and the clash of weapons were all mixed together.
The sound of bows and arrows piercing the air formed a bloody city.
Taishi Ci's army has changed more than twenty batches from early morning to noon, and the soldiers guarding the city have also changed three or four times. The two sides have started a battle around the city wall. There is no difference from yesterday. Taishi Ci's army has changed every time.
Anyone who attacks the city wall will be repulsed by Huo Jun, and then he attacks the city wall again and is repelled again, and this goes on for a long time.
The difference from yesterday is that today's battle was more brutal and suffered more casualties, and Taishi Ci's army attacked more fiercely. Huo Jun was almost defeated several times, and the city wall was almost occupied by the opponent. Fortunately, Huo Jun was well prepared.
They successfully regained control of the city wall. However, even a whole morning of fighting caused the number of casualties of the army in the city to increase rapidly.
Taishi Ci's army was like a tireless robot attacking endlessly. One group retreated and another followed, with no time gap at all. The soldiers on the tower had to cope with this non-stop attack.
Because they didn't know when they would be suddenly attacked by Taishi Ci's army and lose the city wall and thus the city and their lives.
Taishi Ci and Han Dang stood on horseback under the city, watching the battlefield. Orders were issued from his mouth one by one, and then sent to the battlefield through the messengers. Each order conveyed meant another change in the battle situation, and Huo Jun had to act accordingly.
Taishi Ci responded to the changes in his army. He knew that he was no match for Taishi Ci, but he issued orders without hesitation. These orders caused the soldiers guarding the city to quickly change their defenses, although they could not contain the offensive of Taishi Ci's army at once.
But it also slowed down the attack of Taishi Ci's army, and then the transmission of another order made the offensive of Taishi Ci's army invisible.
Taishi Ci looked at Huo Jun, who was covered in blood on the city, with a flash of appreciation. This was the first time he had seen a general who could withstand his attack for such a long time. The general Jiangdong who could withstand his attack was no more than five fingers.
I thought there was one in this small You County.
Taishi Ci frowned and looked at Huo Jun with a flash of pity in his eyes. He felt sorry for Huo Jun. He had expressed his love for talents more than once in the morning and hoped that Huo Jun could surrender, but this man was just a person in Jingzhou.
The general in the small county town whose name he didn't even know actually rejected his kindness. He couldn't understand why Huo Jun was so loyal to Liu Biao who would never reuse him.
"What a pity." Taishi Ci sighed softly, and that touch of pity was quickly replaced by determination. Since you can't be used by my lord, I can only destroy you.
"Attack the city!" Taishi Ci ordered without hesitation. Not far behind Taishi Ci, three wells more than ten meters high rumbled towards the city wall of You County. All the soldiers attacking the city along the way gave way.
………………
Huo Jun looked at the waves of soldiers attacking the city, and his heart became calmer. The shouts of killing and roars did not affect him. He just issued quick and short orders, and sometimes he would rush in front of him with a sword.
The enemy troops were cut down, the plasma burst, and blood spilled out.
Looking at the Taishi Ci banner towering under the city, Huo Jun took a deep breath. Even he himself never thought that he could withstand the attack of Taishi Ci's army for such a long time. At first, he was really overwhelmed.
A completely different message from yesterday should have appeared in the hands of two people, but it happened to appear to Tai Shici at the same time.
The rapid and violent attack made him confused, but when he quickly issued orders that slowed down the attack of Taishi Ci's army, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew how far away he was from my battle-hardened general.
But he had no fear, only a high-spirited fighting spirit. The fighting spirit in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and even his blood was boiling.
He benefited a lot from the morning's battle. "The battlefield is indeed the best training ground." Huo Jun thought with a flash of his eyes. This morning he had been training himself and his subordinates. These things were originally ordinary.
Ordinary soldiers, but now they are different. The fighting spirit in their eyes cannot be trained even through harsh training. He used Taishi Ci as a sharpener to train himself.
Huo Jun's own progress did not make Huo Jun happy, but his heart became heavier and heavier. His eyes were always fixed on the three wells behind the battlefield. The more than ten meters high wells were two meters higher than the city wall of You County.
meters, standing on the well gate you can overlook the city wall, and the soldiers on the city are completely exposed to the attack of the well gate.
As he had guessed, Taishi Ci's army did bring siege equipment. Every time he repelled the attack of Taishi Ci's army throughout the morning, he couldn't help but look at Jinglan, guessing when Taishi Ci would use this siege weapon.
Suddenly the well gate moved. The well gate, which was more than ten meters tall, was a giant on the battlefield. It moved slowly with a deafening rumbling sound that made people look up at it.
Looking at Jinglan Huo Jun who was slowly approaching the city wall, a trace of worry flashed in Huo Jun's eyes, which was then replaced by a high-spirited fighting spirit. The fighting spirit in his eyes flashed crazily as he smelled the blood blowing in the wind.
The well is slowly approaching the city wall, revealing the inside of the well. The well has three floors, and there are a large number of archers standing on each floor, some holding bows and some holding crossbows. The huge well is covered by these densely packed buildings.
The soldiers were standing full. Bows and arrows were pointed at the Youxian city wall, and the bows were full of strings. Two-meter-long military crossbows were lifted up by three soldiers. The crossbow arrows had been placed and were waiting to be fired at any time.
Liu Pan, the magistrate of Youxian County, sat in the main seat, closing his eyes and waiting for news from the city. Ma Liangsu Fei sat aside and looked out the door from time to time. It was so quiet in the hall that even breathing could be heard. People outside the city
The sound of war drums has been going on all morning, and the three of them have been waiting here all morning. Although they sit here quietly, their hearts cannot calm down.
"Deng Deng..." The sound of rapid footsteps made the three people in the hall stand up. A sergeant ran in and said: "The enemy has used... the well." The sound of violent breathing made his words intermittently. But he stopped.
In the ears of the three people, it was like rolling thunder.
Liu Pan's eyes flashed with determination and he said to Su Fei: "It's your turn, General Su."
Su Fei said with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, General, we will definitely destroy this well." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall towards the front yard. Not long after, Su Fei came to the front yard, where 800 soldiers in armor were silent.
Waiting for a long time, these soldiers were all covered in thick armor, and even their faces were covered by thick armor. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and these eyes also showed determination. They were determined to die.
"Let's go." Su Fei gave the order, and the eight hundred people followed Su Fei towards the city wall, and the heavy weight hit the ground with a thumping sound.
In the hall, Liu Pan watched Su Fei leave and said to Ma Liang: "Let's go and see how powerful this well is." After saying that, he left first, followed closely by Ma Liang.
………………
Ten miles away from You County, Xu Shu's army marched quickly towards You County. They had abandoned all their baggage, leaving only their armor and weapons and a small amount of food. The food was escorted by more than a thousand soldiers. The army was advancing at full speed in front.
The spies riding fast horses reported the situation in You County to Xu Shu at any time. Xu Shu also knew the situation in You County and urged the army to advance over and over again, secretly praying in his heart that the generals in You County could hold on until the army arrived.
"Report to the military advisor that Jiangdong's army has used the Jinglan." The fast-horse spy rode up to Xu Shu and said.
"I understand." Xu Shu said in a calm voice. No one saw the anxiety in his eyes.
"Order the army to abandon their armor and carry only their weapons, and advance at full speed." Xu Shu ordered.
Not long after, the order was conveyed, and the soldiers took off their heavy armor one by one, and their speed suddenly increased.
