The Rise of the Three Kingdoms from the Ten Changshi Rebellion

Chapter 241
There's too little info, but at this stage there doesn't seem to be a better option than other weapons to deal with walls like this.

"Well, according to the statement just now, immediately send people to dig the secret passage from the barracks to the city on the other side! Yuan Shao didn't have a better idea, so he had to give an order on how to break such a fortress.

Soldiers dedicated to excavation began to be fully armed, but in reality they were only shovels, hoes, baskets and stationary firewood.

I just don't know if these soldiers have been trained, so the efficiency and interaction are very good. A hole was dug in a blink of an eye, and two soldiers could enter and exit.

"How long does it take to dig under an enemy city? Yuan Shao asked the officials in charge of the construction.

"Back to the prince, with the current efficiency, the three teams are constantly rotating, and it can be completed at midnight tonight!" Initially, it could be completed at midnight, but according to a conservative estimate, the official still delayed the completion time by an hour.

"So that's it, Yang Liang, Wenzhou!" Yuan Shao turned around and shouted, knowing the general progress.

"The finish line is here!" Yan Lianwen and Zhou left immediately.

"Now bury the pot and cook. After two hours, the two of you will take turns attacking the city. You will be more energetic and quieter, but the soldiers will cause me fewer casualties!" According to Yuan Shao, it should be possible to dig in. At this time, when the enemy is found, it is necessary to continuously launch siege battles to attract the enemy's attention and make him ignore the noise underground.

"Here!" Both of them also understood Yuan Shao's intentions, although it was a bit useless, they still took the lead.

So Yuan Jun temporarily entered the rest period. Wei Jun was still very surprised when he saw Yuan Jun was about to smoke, but he insisted on not seeing him for an hour.With Cao Zhenya's permission, meal time also started.

The two sides rested for a while. Only two hours later, the war drums of the Yuan army sounded again. When the soldiers gathered again, Cao Zhen sat on the tower again and ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.

"Siege!" The difference from the first time was that Yang Liang not only sent out goose carts, but also sent a large number of ordinary ladder soldiers to carry out a brutal siege.

"Those Yuan Jun, what happened after eating ( )? One or two people were so excited?!" Cao Zhen was a little surprised by Yuan Jun's harsh reaction.

Two hours ago, when Yuan Jun was still in a normal state, he at least used a goose cart to reduce the difficulty of building the stairs, and even used cavalry to quickly sprinkle sand on the stairs to prevent the wooden stairs from being burned.All is well with the flame.

But right now it's an utterly hopeless style of play.Could it be that Yuan Shao thought it would be easy for Liang Shebing to attack the city, so he planned to use his brainpower to send as many troops as possible to the city wall, so that Liang's effect would be greatly reduced?
It has to be said that Cao Zhen believes that the current situation is very possible.

"Hammer Man! It's time to play a game of deception!" Cao Zhen shouted at the copper pipe, and the messenger at the other end of the copper pipe immediately passed Cao Zhen's order.

Soon, from the winding stairs behind the city wall, stood a strong man wearing heavy armor and over 1.8 meters tall.To say that the biggest thing they have in common is that each strong man holds a big hammer in his hand.

The biggest function of this giant hammer thrower is to rush into the enemy's ranks under the cover of the soldier's shield.With sledgehammer in hand, enemy fortifications, shield soldiers and other defensive structures are smashed and destroyed.This opened up a smooth line of attack for the following soldiers.

Of course, there is another role - to play a role in harassment during siege.

Soon, the hammer was in place, and their armor could withstand the usual blow.If enemies don't use special armor-piercing crossbows or blunt weapons, it's very difficult for them to deal lethal damage.

Seeing Yuan Jun's first ladder on the city wall, he raised his giant hammer and knocked on the ladder.The soldier who was about to climb the stairs did not take a few steps.Just hit the ground.

Then came the second, third... Even with the joint efforts of all the bosses, the goose cart ladder that had just hit the city wall was smashed by consecutive hammers in less than three seconds. , has lost its effectiveness.

"Take a stone! Let Yuan Jun taste the magic! Cao Zhen called for another copper pipe.

Soon, many soldiers stepped onto the city wall with a big brick.With the cooperation of the two soldiers, the bricks released on the spot were thrown down the city wall and smashed towards Yuan Jun at the bottom of the city wall.

"Ah..." The heavy rain poured down, and the ground was red, as if it had just rained blood.For a time, the loss of the Yuan army was at least five hundred, and many happy soldiers were smashed on their shoulders, temporarily losing their fighting power.

"Stand back!" The point is not that Yang Liang never organized the archers to shoot and suppress, but it's a pity that when the gun rang, the slingshot had already hidden behind the hammer warrior.The arrow shot at the giant hammer, except for a "out" sound, it had no other effect.

So Yan Liang had no choice but to leave.After all, even if the enemy doesn't throw stones, if your own ladder can't be erected, there can't be a fight at all.Unless you keep killing until these sledgehammers can swing the sledgehammers in their hands.

The defense and attack of the sledgehammer are undoubtedly powerful, but the heavy armor and the sledgehammer also limit the soldiers themselves.This can make a huge difference in a 10-minute fight, but if no one replaces them within 10 minutes, even the Bears will have to wear themselves out.

Weapons with such high basic requirements are also limited in quantity.Yang Liang understood that the number of Hammer Warriors would exceed three hundred.If Yuan Jun attacked the city from all directions, he would be able to successfully climb the city wall within 10 minutes and kill these exhausted warriors.

It's just that the soldiers at that time had to pay too much with their lives, and this was not Yan Liang's first task-climbing the city wall, so Yan Liang didn't have to do it.

Quitting was his first choice.

Back in the ranks, Wen Zhou stretched out his hand, and Yang Liang got on his horse with a smile.

After shaking for two yards, Yang Liang reached out and patted Wen Zhou's arm, and the two completed the team alternation.

The first task of the two is to constantly consume siege equipment, avoid the loss of their own soldiers, and maximize the physical strength of the enemy soldiers.

As for siege technology, although the control of the Yellow River is still in the hands of Yuan Jun, a large amount of materials for the Yanjin Fortress can be transported here.So if the other party wants to destroy it, they must destroy it.

The siege battle lasted for eight hours every time Yuanjun had thunderstorms, but there were also two large soldiers attacking the city.

Fortunately, at eight o'clock, Yuan Jun rested again, Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the soldiers to eat and rest, preparing for an offensive and defensive battle that would start at an unknown time.

Of course, after resting for an hour, Yuan Jun shot again.After the [-]th generation of Cao Zhen visited Yuan Shao's mother, he continued to defend the city.

Only Mr. Xu Shiyuan gave up the siege and returned to the camp to rest.Cao Zhen was also physically and mentally exhausted, and ordered the whole army to return to the camp to rest.Of course, a group of soldiers were brought to the city wall to watch Yuan Jun, who didn't know when the attack would come.

As for Yuan Shao, the official in charge of the excavation told Yuan Shao that the tunnel had been dug out.

"Take an hour's rest. Let's go to the Guangdong Fort tonight and have a good rest inside!" After receiving the officer's report, Yuan Shao rewarded the officers who graduated early.

"Order the soldiers to send the No. 2 weapon into the tunnel!" Under Yuan Shao's order, he seemed to see the moment when the city wall of Guangdong collapsed.
