Julu County, Yitao County.

At this time, Zhou Cheng's 120,000 troops had surrounded Yitao County.

Yesterday, news came back that Guan Yu Wenjiu killed Hua Xiong, and the Kwantung Allied Forces broke through Hulao Pass.

However, Yuan Shao had already ordered to send troops and horses back to rescue Jizhou. Yuan Shao's family members were in Bohai County, so he could not rest assured.

Especially the youngest son Yuan Shang cannot make any mistakes.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were helpless about this.

However, Jizhou is indeed very important. Without Jizhou's food and grass, the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Allied Forces would have a huge food and grass gap.

Dong Zhuo also personally led his army to Sishui Pass.

Because of Zhou Cheng's interference, the Kwantung Allied Forces' crusade against Dong Zhuo was even more unsuccessful.

In Yitao County, although Guo Dian, the governor, was a little panicked, he was not afraid.

In Julu County, Guo Dian had defeated the Yellow Turbans many times, and a few years ago, Zhang Niujiao and other Black Mountain Yellow Turbans also besieged Ying Tao.

But in the end, Ying Tao not only defended, but also shot Zhang Niujiao.

As for the distress letter, Guo Dian had already sent it before he was besieged.

Although Han Fu and Yuan Shao both went to attack Dong Zhuo, the governors of various counties also understood the meaning of death and coldness, and would definitely send troops for reinforcements.

What Guo Dian has to do now is to defend Yitao.

With 15,000 county soldiers, various mobilized tribes, and nearly 30,000 local warriors in the county, Guo Dian was still very confident.

Zhou Cheng rode Mo Kuang forward slowly in front of the entire army. The sharp edge of the Sky-breaking Spear dragged on the ground, leaving a deep mark.

He was not in a hurry to attack the city, but was waiting for Wen Sheng to return. drive. drive.

It was almost noon when Wen Sheng rode a fast horse and came to Zhou Cheng under the protection of the scouts.

Wen Sheng dismounted and reported:"My lord, Zhang Yan and Mrs. Guo have no intention of submitting to the lord, and Mrs. Guo does not want to obey the lord's orders and carry out collusion with the Xiongnu.""

"Mrs. Guo deserves to die."

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth and said.

In his previous life, Zhou Cheng hated traitors who colluded with foreigners the most. Traitors should be cut into pieces to relieve their hatred.

Zhou Cheng roared:"Attack the city."

Woo-- hundreds of soldiers raised their horns and played hard.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The drums were beating.

The county soldiers on the city tower were terrified.

The Moth Thieves at this time were already different from the past.

The Moth Thieves Not only a large number of cavalry, but also engineering equipment.

Well railings, Linchong, etc. were slowly pushed up.

And a large number of trebuchets also appeared in Guo Dian's sight

"put!"

As the trebuchet began to throw stone bombs.

Stone bombs weighing dozens of kilograms began to pour on the city head and the wall. The wall stacks that were hit shattered and cracks appeared on the wall. The soldiers on the city head were holding each other. His head hid, but the unlucky one was smashed to death on the spot.

In the past, this was the method used by the army to deal with moth thieves, but unexpectedly things have changed.

The first round of attacks was quite effective.

At this time, some trebuchets began to replace kerosene. Cans.

As the fire oil cans exploded on the city head, a sea of ​​​​fire rose from the city head.

After suppressing the city head, Zhou Cheng sent Rouran and Xianbei cavalry.

The Rouran and Xianbei cavalry totaled 50,000 people. At this time, arrows were thrown towards the city.

Of course, the county soldiers on the city also began to fight back. Some of the Xianbei and Rouran cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses one after another.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng once again ordered:"The whole army attacks city!"

One hundred and twenty thousand troops and horses attacked the city from all sides at the same time. The pressure on Guo Dian was not ordinary.

As the west gate and south gate were in danger, his staff hurriedly advised:"Lord, the moth thieves are not what they used to be. If they continue to attack fiercely, , Yitao will be breached, the lord should break out of the encirclement as soon as possible."

Before Guo Dian could make a decision, Zhou Cheng had already dispatched a very 'strange' force.

This force was composed of ragged 'prisoners', each of them holding a bag filled with earth and rocks.

They were from Fuyu and Goguryeo. After Zhou Cheng conquered Goguryeo, he did not kill them all. Instead, he took out some of the strong ones and made them professional cannon fodder. When attacking the city, he carried sandbags filled with earth and rocks to fill them. Flat moat, or directly build a slope.

Seeing this group of people carrying bags, Guo Dian knew what they were going to do, and he hurriedly shouted:"Hurry up and shoot the arrow!"

The arrows rained down continuously, and the prisoners of Fuyu and Goguryeo screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

They knew it would be this fate, but they did not dare to resist.

Because if they resisted, they would die faster.

Under the impact of the prisoners The moat had a tendency to be filled with earth and rocks.

However, in Zhou Cheng's eyes, these prisoners were just professional cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attention.

At this time, the moat bridges, well railings and Linchong were getting closer and closer to the moat. The bridge is the special means to deal with the moat.

And the archers on Linchong and the well railings are shooting arrows at the city head.

Tens of thousands of archers, and a large number of trebuchets.

In Yingtao City, the moth thieves began to attack the city. , in less than an hour, there were nearly 3,000 casualties among the county soldiers and rural warriors. Although the number of casualties among the moth thieves was also large, most of them were prisoners, as well as Xianbei and Rouran cavalry. There was insufficient training for rural warriors in the city.

, each family had their own plans, and were unwilling to send troops to the city.

The casualties of the county soldiers continued to increase, and morale fell to the bottom.

Finally, the trench bridge was laid.

Zhou Cheng shouted:"The first one to climb the city will be rewarded with a hundred golds!"

"Kill!"

The death camp rushed to the front.

Although the number of the death camp was small, it had been tempered by the fire of war and had rich experience in siege.

The ladder was set up on the top of the city. The death camp held up their shields and dodged the wood and rolling stones. , began to climb towards the city.

At this time, Zhou Cheng turned to Wen Sheng and said:"Send someone to invite Zhang Yan. I will hold a banquet at Yingtao Prefecture tomorrow night to entertain them. We have important matters to discuss."
