Although the Xiliang Army started with cavalry, after entering the Pass under the leadership of Dong Zhuo, they have fought many large and small siege battles in the past few years. They have already accumulated a complete set of siege strategies using cavalry as the main siege force. After all the siege equipment was completed, the Chang'an offensive and defensive battle, which had been prepared for half a month, kicked off on a foggy morning.

This is the first heavy fog since the winter in the Sili area, and it is also the best opportunity for Li Jue and Guo Si to attack.

In the military camp to the west, a total of 10,000 infantry and cavalry have been assembled as an siege force, seven of them A thousand men are cavalry, three thousand men are infantry,

"Woo!"

The dull horn sounded, startling the soldiers of Bingzhou who were taking a nap on the city wall!

A young man who had just joined the Bingzhou army grabbed his spear and exclaimed at the top of his voice,

"What's wrong? Was there thunder?"

"What kind of thunder!"

Fortunately, the two old soldiers beside him pressed him down.

"Be careful, Master Zhonglang has seen it, and will chop you with a sword, you daredevil!"

The young man was shocked and gasped and asked,

"What is that sound?"

"It’s the military bugle of Liangzhou people!"

"Brace yourselves, the bastards from Liangzhou are about to attack the city!"

The man who said this was wearing armor, carrying a long sword, and leading dozens of soldiers on the city wall to supervise the battle.

This man was Song Xian, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command.

He was named Zhongxian in recent days.

General Lang, not only got a pair of Mingguang armor from the arsenal that can only be worn by the Si'an general level, but also inlaid his beloved sword with two opals from the Western Regions, but how many years has he followed Lu Bu? Of course, he is familiar with military matters.

He has fought side by side with the Xiliang Army for a period of time in the past few years, and he is quite familiar with the Liangzhou people’s tactics.

He pointed at the thick fog in the distance and said,

"Damn it, this is a big favor for the wolf cubs in Liangzhou."

"On the left and right, order the archers to draw their bows, nock arrows, and shoot!"

The number of archers in the Bingzhou Army was not large, but this time in order to defend Chang'an City, three thousand archers were urgently mobilized from the Xiyuan Army. Regardless of their unwillingness, they were all put on the city wall.

Song Xian ordered the archers. As soon as the order to shoot was given, those guys from the Xiyuan Army who were just trying to make up the numbers started muttering, and some even complained directly,

"Such a thick fog, where is it shooting? These feathers and arrows were bought from the arsenal with real money when I joined the Xiyuan Army."

"Do you want us to shoot God? He won't blame us later, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Such a playful statement immediately caused a group of archers from the Xiyuan Army to burst into laughter.

"good!"

Song Xian's cold voice sounded behind the crow's mouth at the right time.

The next moment, he only felt the quiver behind his back light up.

"ah!"

Song Xian actually opened his big hand, grabbed a dozen feather arrows in his quiver, and pierced his face all at once, causing the guy to scream in pain!

The movements of Song Xian's right hand intensified , he just used feather arrows to poke dozens of holes in his face.

In the roar of this fast-talking guy,

Song Xian repeated his order for the last time,

"All archers, shoot!"

This time, no archer dared to disobey Song Xian's order.

They opened their bows and set arrows one after another, regardless of whether there was a target, and shot randomly into the thick fog.

Many people stretched their bows to the point of exhaustion. Only then did he dare to retreat.

But Song Xian's method of alerting the enemy didn't seem to be effective in the thick morning fog.

"No offensive?"

"It shouldn’t be!"

A look of disbelief flashed across Song Xian's face.

Could it be that Li Jue and Guo Si across from them didn't wake up today and wanted to sleep a little longer?

But in half an hour, when the warm sun in winter is not too strong, When the fog rises and disperses the thick fog, the attacking army will be completely exposed to the sight of the defenders, and they will all become living targets!

A terrible result suddenly occurred to Song Xian's mind...

That is, the Xiliang Army Their cruelty and tenacity seemed to be higher than those of their Bingzhou Army!

Sure enough, when the first war horse belonging to the Xiliang Army rushed out of the thick fog, the cavalryman had three or four arrows stuck in his body.

But he was biting a piece of linen on his mouth.

Song Xian's question that the tactics of three thousand archers just didn't work was finally answered.

"Damn Liangzhou people, are you trying to play this trick with me?"

Song Xian's nose almost became angry. He admitted that he had underestimated the Liangzhou people.

No matter how effective his bows and arrows were, at least for now, it seems that the Liangzhou people have successfully used the thick fog, coupled with their perseverance and Patience, their cavalry troops had already broken through less than a hundred steps below the city wall.

After the first Liangzhou cavalry appeared, thousands of Liangzhou cavalry stretched their bows and nocked arrows, using the same sharp bows and arrows, to attack the city wall. The defenders on the top fought back.

But they were different from before. Now they were only a hundred steps away. The close distance meant that the thick fog could not hinder much of the sight.

It was a good time for revenge!

"Puff puff!"

The archers of the Xiyuan Army who were standing on the city wall just now were shooting. It was like raining now. They screamed and fell from the several-foot-high city wall. Then they fell heavily from the city wall several feet high! In this way, the Bingzhou Army fought again and again.

The three thousand Xiyuan archers were almost completely lost.

Only a few hundred of them withdrew with fear on their faces and lost all fighting spirit.

After achieving initial suppression, the Xiliang Army's cavalry withdrew. The second wave of cavalry that followed did not bring the baptism of bows and arrows.

Apart from a light leather armor, they did not even have weapons.

Obviously these cavalry were not here to fly around the city and shoot.

Song Xian gave the order again and again. The men dragged down the corpses of the dead Xiyuan Army, leaving an open space for the next defense of the city wall.

While squinting, they observed the next movements of the Xiliang Army.

"throw!"

About two thousand Xiliang cavalry were divided into two teams and quickly approached the city wall. At a distance of less than thirty steps, they took out a solid sack from the horse behind them, and then threw it on the ground.

Repeatedly , under the noses of the Bingzhou Army, two high platforms made of sacks filled with soil were rapidly taking shape!

Could it be that these Xiliang soldiers wanted to use the earth platform to build a road to the city wall?

"No! These are prepared for the Xiliang army archers!"

Cao Xing, wearing a black battle robe and carrying an iron bow, stood behind Song Xian.

He pointed to the high platform and said,

"Have you seen it? The Xiliang Army's archers will dismount and climb up to these two high platforms."

"Then he shot down the defenders on our city walls,"

"It is difficult to raise the city wall under our feet, and it will inevitably tilt down."

"How many people we come up to will die!"
