Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 382 Storming Yicheng
Not to mention that the battle on both sides of the Hanshui River is coming to an end, let's look back at the situation in Yicheng.

In Yicheng, since Liu Biao let Liu Qi, Kuaiyue, Deng Yi and others lead troops out, he felt at ease at first. Looking far away in the direction of Zhu Weijun's stronghold.

Later, Liu Biao was really sleepy, so he leaned on the table in the Jiange, half asleep and half awake, waiting for the news from ahead.

Almost at the time when Liu Qi and Kuai Yue led people into the burning Zhu Weijun camp, Liu Biao suddenly woke up with palpitations, and then from the sword pavilion, he saw the flames burning in the camp of Zhu Weijun camp on the north bank of the Han River in the distance.

Liu Biao knew that this should be the fire from Zhu Weijun's stronghold. At this time, Liu Biao didn't suspect anything else. Seeing the fire in the distance, he thought that the surprise attack was a success.

But I don't know why Liu Biao's heart is still faintly uneasy, and his right eyelid is beating from time to time.

Thinking back just now when he was half asleep and half awake, Liu Biao vaguely saw Liu Qi saying something to him, and then suddenly turned into smoke and flew away, which woke Liu Biao up, and Liu Biao had a bad feeling.

Therefore, Liu Biao still called a Marquis of the personal guard after repeated consideration, and asked him to take a horse to check the situation.

It's still early morning in Yicheng at this moment, the sky is a little gray, not very bright, but the road can be seen clearly.

Liu Biao suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a horse soldier coming towards Yicheng in the distance, so he couldn't help but stand up and look there from a distance. The color of the sweat towel doesn't look like his own soldiers and horses.

Liu Biao couldn't help being startled, and hastily sent an order to prepare for the battle.

But at this moment in Yicheng, there are only young and strong men who have been conscripted. Although they ran towards the city wall in disorder after hearing the order, judging from their state, they were already a little confused before the war started.

Only a few of these young and strong peasants are private soldiers of major families and have some combat experience, and the vast majority of them are either farmers or traders, and have only undergone simple military training.

At this moment, they were woken up in the most beautiful sleep in the morning, their heads were so dizzy that they didn't respond, and they had already forgotten the training they had received.

Many people couldn't find the team they belonged to, or the defensive block they were assigned, and made a mess on the city wall, and some people were almost squeezed off the city wall.

Seeing all this, Liu Biao could only let the last two soldiers left beside him go to the city wall to rectify these young and strong peasants, so that they can stabilize and face the incoming enemy troops.

It's just that Liu Biao already has the idea of ​​retreating to Xiangyang. How can these people hold Yicheng? You must know that the army that Zhu Wei came to attack the city is not an ordinary local sect thieves.

But Liu Biao still hesitated, he didn't know what happened to Liu Qi, Kuai Yue, and Deng Yi.

If Liu Biao directly abandoned Yicheng and retreated to Xiangyang, then Liu Qi, Kuai Yue, and Deng Yi would have no city to return to, so Liu Biao still hoped to hold on for a while, waiting for Deng Yi and the others to bring troops back for help.

It's a pity that Liu Biao's idea is naturally impossible to realize.

At this time, the flags of the soldiers and horses attacking Yicheng could gradually be seen. As expected, it was Taishi Ci of the Shenjian Camp who came to attack Yicheng on Wang Yuyan's order.

And Tai Shici saw the chaos on the city wall from a distance, and his heart could not help but calm down a lot.

Previously, Tai Shici was woken up in his sleep, and suddenly went to Zhu Wei's central army tent to discuss the war. He heard that there was an enemy attack. Tai Shici was originally planning to fight the invading enemy, but he didn't want Wang Yuyan to arrange for him directly. Let's attack Yicheng.

Although Wang Yuyan said that there are only ordinary young and strong in Yicheng, as long as Yicheng is attacked, it should be possible to capture Yicheng.

But Tai Shici was still a little hesitant. After all, this time he suddenly attacked Yicheng, but he didn't have other siege equipment to cooperate, so he could only rely on people to climb the city. There is no need to consider how much the loss is. Whether it can be captured is the real question.

But the military order had been issued, so Tai Shici naturally didn't say much, and came directly under the order.

On the way, Tai Shici also considered the possibility of sending someone to deceive the city gate first, but he thought that Liu Biao himself was in Yicheng, and if he wanted to change his disguise to deceive the city, he still lacked some preparations. Knowing the slogan of the military order in Yicheng, it may not be able to deceive in the end.

After all, all of these incidents were emergencies, and Wang Yuyan's tactical arrangements were adaptable, and she was not prepared for it.

So Tai Shici finally made up his mind, and simply ignored other things, and just stormed Yicheng directly. Anyway, the moat near the gate of Yicheng has been buried for a while. Although there is no assistance from siege equipment, Taishi Ci can only rely on it. The Shenjian Battalion forcibly climbed up the city, but Wang Yuyan also gave some secret weapons that Tai Shici was unfamiliar with.

If the defenders of the city were really only young and strong peasants, then attacking the city would be considered easy.

So Tai Shici didn't think about any other means, and directly brought more than 5000 soldiers from the Shenjian Battalion to storm Yicheng.

But looking at the situation on the wall of Yicheng now, Tai Shici couldn't help secretly admiring Wang Yuyan's judgment. As expected, there were no regular soldiers of Liu Biao in Yicheng at this time, so it is really possible to attack Yicheng like this.

Tai Shici still has some confidence in the fighting power of his soldiers. If he can't attack Yicheng, which is only guarded by young and strong peasants, with the elite soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion, then he will underestimate Tai Shici's training soldiers in Jiangxia these days. hard work.

In this way, before Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion came to Yicheng, Tai Shici didn't say anything nonsense. First, he assigned Chen Ying to form a tortoise shield formation with [-] saber shields, and carried the siege ladder to Yicheng. Charge to the past, waiting to climb the wall and attack the city.

Afterwards, Tai Shici personally commanded two thousand saber shields to protect the archers of the three thousand divine arrow battalion, rushed to the range of bows and arrows in front of Yicheng, and began to throw feather arrows on the city wall, suppressing the defensive countermeasures on the city wall.

Then he asked Baolong to protect the three thousand crossbowmen with two thousand knife shields, and continued to charge towards the front wall. He didn't let them stop until they reached the range of the crossbow machine, and also let the crossbowmen throw crossbow arrows towards the city wall.

In this way, Tai Shici continuously shot feather arrows and crossbow arrows on the city wall, which inevitably made the young and strong peasants on the city wall a little chaotic again. Many people had no experience in hiding arrows and were directly shot to death on the city wall. superior.

After all, the people on the walls of Yicheng are young and strong men who have not been trained much. Although there are some bows and arrows in their hands that can fight back, but bows and arrows are not so easy to use without long-term training. Even when they are shot, they are chaotic. No power.

As for some young and strong private soldiers, they may be able to use bows and arrows to fight back, but the soldiers of Taishi Cizhen Divine Arrow Battalion are protected by large shields and small shields, and their scattered bows and arrows cannot pose much threat...
