Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Chapter 30 The Siege Begins

"Report, there are enemy troops outside the city, they seem to be attacking the city!"

Dong Cheng was eating in the room when a soldier came in suddenly.

"What, can you find out how many soldiers and horses they have?"

"They appeared outside the east gate, densely packed, about [-] people." The soldier responded immediately.

"Go, go out and have a look!" Dong Cheng didn't care about eating, so he left the eunuch's mansion with dozens of personal guards.

Outside the mansion, soldiers had already prepared their horses. They rode on the horses and rushed to the east gate, and then climbed the stairs to the top of the city.

Outside the east gate, two hundred steps away from the city gate, there is an army, which is adjusting its formation.

There are sword and shield soldiers in front of them, spearmen and archers in the middle, and cavalry at the end. There are gaps between each army, and they are neatly arranged.

Arranged in this way, the number of opponents is easy to count.

Standing at the top of the city, Dong Cheng had a clear view of the entire enemy army outside the city. He quickly counted and found that there were exactly 5000 enemy troops outside the city.

Long ladder!

Dong Cheng took a closer look and found that there were many long ladders hidden in the enemy's formation. It seemed that the enemy was going to attack the city today.

Hmph, although there are few troops in my city, Huaili City is difficult to capture, it depends on how many troops you have to consume.

"Come on!" Dong Cheng shouted to the left and right.

"Lord!"

"Immediately gather soldiers and horses to defend the city, and send more people to the other three walls to prevent the opponent from attacking from east to west."

After Dong Cheng's personal guards responded, they immediately went down from the top of the city and rushed to the military camp inside the city.

In Huaili City, there is a military camp, which can accommodate 5000 people, but now there are only more than 800 people in the military camp, and another [-] people are guarding the four walls.

When Dong Cheng's personal guard rushed to the barracks to dispatch troops, Liu Zhang's army outside the city began to change formation.

"Send the order, attack the city!" Liu Zhang pulled out the Han sword at his waist, swung it forward, and pointed at Huaili County.

"Luofu, lead the [-]-sword shield soldiers forward and approach the moat."

"Here!"

A burly general responded loudly.

Then he left, dispatched five hundred shield soldiers, and then lined up in five rows, approaching Huaili County at a uniform speed.

"Zhang Qin, lead 500 people to carry the long ladder and set up the long ladder!"

"The last general takes orders!"

A man with phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows immediately led 500 people, carried dozens of long ladders, and quickly approached the moat.

"Zhang Kui, lead five hundred archers and suppress the city."

After Zhang Kui took the order, he followed Zhang Qin after a while.

These five hundred archers are all ordinary archers, and they all use the hard bows in Jing Zhaoyin's arsenal.

This standard hard bow has a longer range, but it requires a lot of strength every time you draw the bow.

Ordinary archers often shoot twenty arrows before exhausting their strength, and they have to wait for a while if they want to shoot again.

Luo Fu, Zhang Qin and Zhang Kui are all military lords, each commanding [-] soldiers, they approached Huaili City quickly and orderly.

Luofu's five-hundred-sword shield hand was the first to reach the moat, but the suspension bridge on the moat had already been pulled up by the rope, and the moat was a full six feet wide, and ordinary soldiers could not jump over it.

The sword and shield hand arrived near the moat and began to wait.

Soon, Zhang Qin behind them brought people over.

"Quickly, build the long ladder!" With an order, dozens of soldiers under Zhang Qin's command moved forward and put twenty long ladders, each ten meters long, on the moat.

In this way, they can follow the long ladder and cross the moat.

Zhang Qin's subordinates, with a long ladder, quickly and orderly crossed the moat, and then a group of several people slowly erected the long ladder, and then put it on the city wall.

Huaili City is worthy of being the seat of Youfufeng. The city wall is two feet high, and the long ladder prepared by Liu Zhang's army is just enough.

Dong Cheng looked at the enemy army outside the city, and when they crossed the moat, he ordered the archers on the top of the city to shoot arrows down.

It's just that there are only a few hundred people on the top of the city, and the rain of arrows is sparse, which can only disturb the enemy army, but it is not very dangerous to them.

Even so, when a round of arrows rained down, dozens of Zhang Qin's subordinates were hit by arrows.

Just then, Zhang Kui arrived with five hundred archers.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to suppress the city.

At the east gate of Huaili City, there were less than five hundred soldiers in total, not to mention not many archers, but they had one advantage.

That is to stand on a high place.

Stand tall and shoot far.

With the help of the terrain, their shots are often faster and more powerful than the arrows shot by the archers in the city.

On the top of the city, the archers saw that there were enemy archers approaching below the city, and immediately gave up shooting the opponent's soldiers who erected long ladders, and instead attacked the enemy archers.

Fortunately, Zhang Kui had the advantage in numbers, so he commanded his subordinates to shoot at the defenders on the top of the city, and the victory was evenly divided.

Taking advantage of the opponent's archers having no time to take care of them, Zhang Qin's troops immediately completed the construction of the long ladder, and Luo Fu immediately ordered the ants to attack the city.

The five-hundred-sword shield soldiers under his command immediately bit their swords in their mouths, held the round shield in their left hand, climbed the long ladder with their right hand, and ran quickly to the top of the city.

On the city wall outside the east gate of Huaili City, there are more than 30 long ladders, and dozens of sword and shield soldiers are waiting under each long ladder.

Beside the long ladder, there are several people holding on to the long ladder tightly to prevent it from falling down.

"Put in 500 people and smash open the city gate with rams!" Liu Zhang gave the order again.

He was riding a war horse, only two hundred steps away from Huaili County, and he was able to see the east gate of Huaili County clearly, and he was in a safe place.

After his order was given, a military lord led his 500 men into battle.

Thirty burly soldiers, holding a thick long log, slowly approached the moat, and there were dozens of shieldmen beside them, holding large shields to guard the left and right.

However, the drawbridge was pulled up.

It is impossible for them to cross the moat from the long ladder with the bumper in their arms.

"General, we can't cross the moat!" A soldier shouted anxiously.

"Don't panic!" Zhang Qin was on the side, seeing their predicament, he immediately leaned over.

He confidently looked at the ropes on the suspension bridge, holding the longbow in his right hand, and took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back with his left hand, and put it on the string.

Zhang Qin bent his bow, raised the arrow, and aimed at the rope at the left end of the suspension bridge.

He opened one eye, then closed the other, and with one eye, aimed at the rope.

The fingers of his left hand loosened.

Whoosh!
The arrow that was still on the string just now flew out immediately, its speed was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the middle of the rope.

The iron Mitsubishi arrow immediately and easily separated the thumb-thick rope.

With an arrow, the rope at the left end of the suspension bridge broke.

The left end of the suspension bridge, without ropes, sank suddenly, making a muffled sound.

"General Zhang is good at archery!"

The soldiers on the side couldn't help boasting.

Zhang Qin was unmoved, as if shooting the rope on the suspension bridge was very easy.

He took out another arrow from the quiver on his back, and skillfully placed it on the bowstring.

Soon, he moved a few steps to the side, and aimed at the rope at the right end of the drawbridge.
