Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

After recording the achievements of Liu Chang and Han Bing, Liu Zhang ordered the army to line up to prepare for today's siege.

Yesterday, 5000 people were dispatched to attack the city. Among the 5000 people, more than [-] people who did not participate in the siege continued to attack with the army today.

Liu Chang and Han Bing rested in the camp because they wanted to have breakfast.

Liu Zhang took another 5000 people and set off for Huaili County, ten miles away.

On that day, Dong Cheng, the prefect of You Fufeng, got up early, and after breakfast, he went to the top of the east gate for inspection.

But after standing for half an hour, he didn't find the enemy army coming to attack the city, so he felt a little strange.

It stands to reason that they should have come at this point.

The enemy's barracks were ten miles away. Even if he stood on the top of the city, he couldn't see the enemy's barracks clearly.

He continued to patrol the city.

The sun was gradually rising, and when it was almost in the sky, he realized that there were enemy troops outside the city.

The enemy army was neatly marching on the flat ground in the distance. From a distance, there was a group of black ants, each of them was very small.

After a while, as they kept approaching, they gradually saw clearly.

The enemy army has finally arrived.

"Notify each village and each song that the enemy army has come, get ready!" Dong Cheng shouted to the left and right.

Liu Zhang rode a war horse and led an army of [-] troops, marching at a constant speed, and kept approaching Huaili County.

His army came from the east, and the barracks were also set up in the east of Huaili City. Of course, he chose to continue to attack the east gate of Huaili.

But after a while, the army stopped only two hundred steps away from the east gate of Huaili City.

At this distance, no bow and arrow can shoot it.

"My lord!" The generals approached on horseback.

They looked at Liu Zhang earnestly, "Give me an order!"

"Yeah!" Liu Zhang looked at them and nodded.

"The order was given that 500 people build a long ladder, [-] archers suppress it, and [-] swordsmen climb the wall."

"Here!" The four military lords immediately led their troops towards the east gate of Huaili.

500 people carried long ladders, knocked them against wood, built long ladders on the moat again, and then built long ladders on the city wall.

The soldiers who stayed behind yesterday cut down some trees nearby and made some long ladders. Today's long ladders are definitely more than yesterday's.

Thirty frames were set up on the city wall yesterday, but 45 frames were set up today.

While the soldiers were building the long ladder, the five hundred archers kept shooting arrows at the parapet at the top of the city. Those who leaned out from behind the parapet and attacked the soldiers below were their chances to shoot arrows.

Every moment, defenders were shot and killed by them.

After the long ladder was built, the two military lords led their five-hundred-sword shields, held the shield in their left hands, and held their swords in their mouths. They quickly climbed up the long ladder.

"Smash it for me, smash it hard!" On the top of the city, the military marquis in charge of the [-]-foot defense line shouted loudly.

Inside their line of defense, there were 400 people. Some of these 400 people shot arrows down the city, and some took thunder stones and rolled logs, and smashed hard at the enemy army on the long ladder.

Under the city, at the top of the city, the archers of the two sides kept shooting at each other, causing casualties on both sides.

Although the soldiers defending the city kept throwing the defense equipment at the enemy on the long ladder, there was always a time when they ran out of things.

As the defensive equipment was exhausted and the sword and shield soldiers climbed up, some people finally began to climb to the top of the city.

After they climbed to the top of the city, they often had to face several defenders, and the situation was very unfavorable to them.

However, they were not afraid. After they climbed to the top of the city, they immediately pulled out the sabers in their mouths with their right hands. There was a round shield in front of them to protect them, and then they kept waving the sabers with their right hands.

His purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to drive the enemy back.

In this way, he will be able to defend this area, and the friendly troops outside the city will be able to come up continuously through the long ladder without being disturbed.

There were only thirty long ladders on the city wall yesterday, but there are forty-five today.

This meant that the defenders of Huaili City had to face more enemies.

They need to guard more areas than they did yesterday.

Although there are soldiers who have climbed to the top of the city, they will not be able to pose a threat to the top of the city for a while.

However, as time went by, after an hour, Liu Zhang's side had more than 300 soldiers on the top of the city.

This is already very dangerous. If Huaili City does not respond, it may be lost.

"Zhang Jie, take the reserve team up!" Dong Cheng looked at the top of the wall and shouted coldly.

Hearing this, Zhang Jie led someone up without hesitation.

Huaili City originally had only 2000 people. Yesterday, 500 people were killed or injured when defending the army. Today, the available troops are only [-].

Today, he still deployed 500 people at the east gate, and 200 people at each of the other three gates, leaving a reserve team of 400 people.

The reserve team did not participate in the fight, and had plenty of physical strength, while the soldiers who climbed to the top of the wall had been fighting for an hour, and most of their physical strength had been exhausted.

When these reserve teams joined, within a short while, the soldiers on Liu Zhang's side, who had been killed, retreated.

"It's been an hour, Xu Junhou, Hou Junhou, you two people go up and replace them!"

Xu and the latter two military lords immediately brought 500 people each, quickly approached the city wall, and then climbed up the long ladder.

Because 300 people broke into the city wall, and no one came out to interfere with them at the moment.

They climbed the long ladder very fast, and within a short while, they climbed to the top of the city.

In this way, on the top of the city, the attacking side and the defending side have reached a balance again.

However, Liu Zhang's army has been in the army for more than a year after all, while Dong Cheng's army is half of veterans and half of them are recruits who have only been recruited for three months.

The combat effectiveness of these recruits is far inferior to Liu Zhang's.

Although they had a geographical advantage, they were pushed back in terms of combat effectiveness.

As time went by, Dong Cheng's side killed the enemy's army at a slower rate than the enemy's ascent to the top of the city.

As a result, the number of enemy troops on the top of the city is actually increasing.

Dong Cheng saw that this was not possible.

He could only order to go to the remaining three walls and transfer 300 people over.

In this way, there are 200 people in Dongmen.

Liu Zhang had already invested 500 men to attack the city. Seeing that the city had not been conquered after two hours, he continued to invest another 1000 men.

The advantage of the city wall is really great. Such an advantage can completely offset Liu Zhang's military advantage.

This is clearly Liu Zhang's siege army of 5000 people, but it can't attack the East Gate with 200 people.

The two sides fought hard at the top of the east gate.

At every moment, soldiers on both sides suffered casualties.

The fighting situation is very intense.

This is a war of attrition, and no one can eliminate the other in a short time.

It can only be won by continuing to grind until the opponent's strength is insufficient.

The reinforcements from the north, south and west gates stabilized the situation at the east gate, but they couldn't help them win.

Another hour passed, Liu Zhang carried out another rotation, and a thousand spearmen were sent up.
