The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 458
Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, since Han Qiong made such a statement, it is not bad to use this point to arouse the morale of the army, and then agreed.

"The main attack on Suiyang will be handed over to General Han!"

"Thank you, my lord! Joan will live up to my lord's expectations!"

There was nothing to say for a few days. Before Yuan Shao's main force arrived in Suiyang, there was no more resistance. Ningling, Xincheng and other places were all abandoned by Du Gao. The wells were filled with stones, and the trees outside Suiyang were completely cut down. What awaited Yuan Shao was a military fortress.

On the city wall, Du Gao looked at Yuan Shao's army approaching slowly, with big banners in Korean characters. The leading general was Han Qiong who had fought against him. At this time, the old gun king was ten years older than last time, with silver hair all over his head. , wearing white silk on the head, and a white coat with linen on the outside of the iron armor. Obviously this decoration was worn by Han Meng.

Even Han Qiong's former soldiers were all dressed in white, feeling like a mourning soldier!

Seeing this, Du Gao sighed slightly: "Han Qiong is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He used Han Meng's death to arouse the morale of the mourning soldiers. This resolved the low morale of the defeated soldiers before. Such a tough battle!"

Han Qiong, who was under the city, glanced at Suiyang, but ordered the former army to set up camp and prepare to fill the moat. He was not in a hurry to attack the city, and at the same time ordered the craftsmen to speed up the construction of siege equipment.

Han Qiong looked at Lu Hengjun on the city wall of Suiyang, and saw Du Gao, Yang Zaixing, and Lu Wenlong. It was these three who killed his nephew!Han Qiong vowed to sacrifice the three of them to pay homage to Han Meng's spirit in heaven!

A few hours later, Yuan Shao led the Chinese army and arrived at the city of Suiyang. After setting up camp a few miles away from Han Qiong's former army, he personally observed Suiyang city. This is where he was defeated last year!
This year, we must unplug this place. Since the command power was handed over to Han Qiong, Yuan Shao let the veteran Han Qiong give orders. Gate, the main attack on the west gate, the east gate is empty, and the moat will be filled within three days!
On the one hand, Lu Junyi and Yan Liang obeyed Yuan Shao's orders and Han Qiong's assignment; on the other hand, seeing Han Qiong's white-haired man sending black-haired man off, they couldn't bear to say anything else and took orders.

In Suiyang City, Du Gao and Li Zhu were the leaders, and Yang Zaixing, Lu Wenlong, Shi Shouxin and others were waiting in full force. Shi Shouxin was the one hundred dragons left by Lao Niu for Du Gao, while Lao Niu and Lu Kai mentioned earlier that it was He was transferred by Yu Yunwen to his subordinates.

Du Gao watched Yuan Shaojun split into two divisions from the Central Army, each with about ten thousand people, one with the word "Lu" and one with the word "Yan", and they went to the north gate and the south gate respectively. Du Gao also ordered to distribute Lu Wenlong guarded the north gate, Yang Zaixing guarded the south gate, Li Zhu organized the reserve team and the Panlong Imperial Army, Shi Shouxin and a certain guarded the west.

"No!" All the generals took orders and left!

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and it was only a siege for the past half month. Only in the first three days, Han Qiong let the army fill up the moat with a large number of people against the arrow rain of the Suiyang defenders. After that, he did not let Sanmen attack once. It seems that he is holding back a big move as if he is accumulating strength.

One day, under the cover of the Chinese army, Han Qiong asked people to launch siege equipment one after another. Du Gao narrowed his eyes and his face was solemn, because Han Qiong launched different types of siege equipment, and the number was quite large!

There are five rushing carts alone, more than a dozen Lu Gong carts, and countless well curbs and catapults, which are indeed catapults!
This Yuan Shao still learned from Cao Cao and Lu Heng. Don’t think that the ancients were stupid and would only be beaten passively. After learning the power of the catapult from Cao Cao and Lu Heng, Yuan Shao also ordered the construction of the catapult this time!

Although it is still a traditional craft, although dozens of soldiers are required to pull it together to launch, although the sight is still inaccurate, but it can't stand Yuan Shao's large number of people, as long as the base number increases, the above problems can be solved.

"Shi Shouxin prepares the fire oil and you are responsible for burning the chariot. Li Zhu is ordered to take the reserves and immediately cover the city wall with the prepared hemp rope and wet cowhide. The eight-ox crossbow is ordered to change the arrow box at any time. The angle of the catapult is prioritized. Attack Lu's bus and well fence!"

"Obey!", "No!" Shi Shouxin loudly accepted the task, and the orderly trotted away to look for Li Zhu.

Shi Shouxin looked at Du Gao in amazement. You must know that last year when defending Suiyang, the eight-ox crossbow was pressed by Du Gao and never released an arrow, but now Yuan Shao is going to use it for the first attack!
"Let the catapults go! Well fence team, shoot and kill the soldiers on the city wall indiscriminately!"

"Everyone! Charge! Dare to retreat and kill!"

"Kill!"

Han Qiong didn't have any tentative attacks, but just stormed up. He allocated 3000 people to rush forward with ladders. There were a few hundred teams pushing Lu's bus, and a hundred people were guarded by shield hands, pushing hard. Rush car!

"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! Boom! Crack! Boom! Boom! Ah! Ah!"

The well curb was pushed into the range of the archers and started shooting. Many of them were defended by Lu Heng's big soldiers, but there were also many unlucky ones who were hit by arrows. Except for the well curb, the boulders thrown by Yuan Shao's catapult were not aimed at all.

Some smashed into the city wall, some smashed into the city wall, some smashed into the wooden building, and some smashed outside the city wall!In short, everywhere!
However, Yuan Shao couldn’t hold back the many catapults. Du Gaoguang saw that there were more than [-] catapults. Some smashed into the wooden building and formed a big hole, making the wooden building crumbling. On the city wall, only a few boulders fell on the city wall, killing several soldiers.

"Bowmen get ready! Three hundred steps! Two hundred steps! Shoot the arrows! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Do! Do! Ah! Ah!"

As long as Yuan Shao's siege army reaches the range of the crossbow battalion, there will naturally be captains shouting and shooting arrows. Many of them are defended by shield players and many of them are shot at the opponent, or they die on the spot or cry on the ground, but this is just just started!
"The catapult! Aim at Mr. Lu, that big wooden lump with a ladder, launch!"

Du Gao did not choose to throw Yuan Shaojun's catapult at the first time, but waited for the advancement of Lu Gong's catapult, and launched it at the most certain time.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Bang! Kacha! Boom! Ah! Ah!"

Boulder bombs flew out from behind the city walls and wooden buildings with the sound of breaking the wind. The catapults of the Suiyang defenders were no less than Yuan Shao's catapults!

More than 30 missiles flew out, each aiming at the target and smashing Lu Gong's car into ruins. Only one escaped by chance. The soldiers pushing Lu's bus were directly hit by the stone bullets with powerful kinetic energy. Those soldiers were already spurting blood in the air. died.

"Those who didn't make a hit today have no success after the battle. The catapults continue to fire. Don't let this thing get close to the city wall. The mechanical soldiers will get [-] army sticks after the battle! The rest of them will continue to smash the other side's well rails and catapults for me."
