Chapter 390 Dark Cloud Overwhelms the City

Xu He snorted, and said again: "And then? Liu Ye just led an army to attack the Huns in the north, and lost a lot of troops. How did Sima Fear's 50,000 troops lose?"

"Sima Shuai heard that Liu Ye led the Han army to attack from Hulao Pass, and immediately led an army of 50,000 out of the city to form a field battle with the Han army."

"At the beginning, under Sima Shuai's order, 50,000 troops attacked from left to right, encircling Liu Ye's army on all sides, but the Han army could not stand firm and did not dare to fight our army, so Sima Shuai only left 10,000 troops behind. The army and horses guard the central army, and the remaining 40,000 troops and horses participate in the siege."

"But I didn't expect it. Liu Ye had prepared an iron cavalry in the direction of Yuzhou in advance. When he saw Sima Shuai's army rushing out, the enemy cavalry immediately surrounded him and charged Sima Shuai's middle army. Liu Ye also led an iron cavalry to kill Sima Shuai from the middle army. When they came out, the enemy's iron cavalry had a very strong impact, and Sima Shuai was captured and killed by the enemy."

Xu He's face was gloomy: "That guy Liu Ye is a fierce general who can be defeated by thousands of people, and it is no problem to be able to capture and kill Sima Fear."

"It wasn't Liu Ye who made the move himself, it was called Xiliang Jinma Chao."

Unexpectedly, there are more and more fierce generals under Liu Ye's account.

Xu He waved his hands irritably: "Understood, you can go down."

Everyone in the tent went down, Xu He stared at the map without saying a word.

"Liu Ye, winner and loser, this battle is a battle of life and death for you and me!"

On the second day, Xu He immediately ordered the 130,000 troops to speed up their march, and they arrived at Suanzao City two days later.

Liu Ye stood on the top of the city and looked down the city. He really felt like black clouds were overwhelming the city and wanted to destroy it. He could only see an army of more than 100,000 yellow scarves huddled together in a huge crowd.

Among the more than 100,000 yellow scarf thieves, flags were flying everywhere, and the tallest one was Xu He's handsome flag. The whole flag was yellow, and the special symbol of Taiping Road was embroidered on it. Xu He After all, he is also one of Zhang Jiao's disciples.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Chinese troops, suddenly a passage opened like waves splitting waves. Surrounded by thousands of personal guards, Xu He slowly stepped forward, about 300 steps away from the city. The crossbow is also difficult to shoot, and Xu and the soldiers around him have leather shields, so naturally there is no need to worry about the sneak attack of the Han army's archers.

Xu He looked up at Liu Ye on the top of the wall, and shouted: "Liu Ye, even though you forced someone into the deep mountains back then, I don't care about past suspicions, as long as you are willing to surrender, how about I make you a general? "

Liu Ye laughed when he heard Xu Hezhi's words: "Hahaha, this general is the descendant of the great ancestor, how can he surrender the thief?"

Xu He snorted coldly: "Since you are so ignorant of current affairs, then don't blame me for not leaving any dog ​​behind after he stormed the city!"

Without saying a word, Liu Ye just reached out to pick up a three-stone strong bow, took an arrow from the guard, and pointed it at Xu He.

Xu He was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted to the surroundings: "Protect me!"

Seeing this, the thousands of guards around him raised their shields one after another, wrapping Xu He firmly in it.

However, the arrow only shot a hundred steps before falling to the ground with a package on it.

More than ten shields were withdrawn, Xu He saw the package, turned around and said, "Go, bring it here."

The guard went away in response, pulled his horse forward, picked up the package casually, opened it, but his face turned pale, and he dared not hand it to Xu He.

Xu He frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Xu Shuai." The guard swallowed and said nervously, "Inside is the head of Sima Shuai."

On the top of the city, Liu Ye's voice came from afar.

"Xu He's a traitor, you're coercing the hungry people to join the bandits and attack Dahan Prefecture. I would have advised you to quickly disarm and surrender, otherwise Sima Fear will be your fate!"

Xu He was furious: "How dare Liu Yuqing bully me!"

"Siege the city, and the one who captures and kills Liu Ye replaces Sima Fear as the commander in chief of the army, and rewards twenty beauties and three hundred stones of food and grass!"

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Hearing Xu He offered such a reward, cheers broke out among the more than 100,000 yellow scarf thieves, and everyone was full of energy.

"Marshal, which city wall is left untouched by our army?" Zhou Su asked.

Surrounding three ques and one is the most basic principle in the art of war. However, Xu He sneered: "The jujube is only a small town, and it still needs to besieged three times and one, and the general will besiege it from all sides, and he will attack the city day and night!"

Zhou Su wanted to persuade him, but seeing the furious look on Xu He's face, he thought he should try to persuade him later, so he rushed to the front line to supervise the battle.

"Dig trenches and besiege the city on all sides!"

It was only seen that more than 100,000 troops first dug a deep trench one mile outside Suanzao City to prevent the Han army in Suanzao City from taking the opportunity to break out.

After the trenches were dug out, an army formation of Yellow Turbans appeared outside the four city walls, and each army formation numbered around 20,000, exceeding the number of defenders in the city.

Seeing the yellow turbans encircling the city gates on all sides, Liu Ye immediately shouted: "The enemy army is besieging the city on all sides, our army must fight to the death, and I am ordered to block all the city gates on all sides!"

Xu He wanted to block the Han army in the city, but Liu Ye directly ordered to block the city gates on all sides. Seeing the yellow turban thieves besieged on all sides, the Han army in the city also understood that it was impossible to kill them this time. , but everyone is determined to fight, gearing up.

But I saw that the yellow scarf army was slowly divided into three parts. Thousands of people were archers, and they advanced a hundred steps away from the city gate. The first row was armed with swords and shields to protect the archers.

The other two parts are infantry, one part is holding a shield and the other is holding a knife, and the other part is a supervising team, standing still in place.

"Let the arrow!"

The yellow turban archers under the city head set up their bows and set up arrows, aiming at the top of the city head and shooting, the Han army above the city head faced the surging arrow rain and immediately hid under the low parapet wall Suddenly, the female wall was nailed full of arrows.

Yu Jin shouted: "Raise your shield, fight back!"

The Han army on the top of the city heard Yu Jin's order, and a whole row of large shields stretched out from behind the parapet, covering the parapet, only to hear the sound of countless arrows, all shot at above the shield.

Under the cover of shields, the archers of the Han army stood up one after another, aiming at the archers and infantry of the Yellow Turban Thieves under the city head to fight back.

The number of Yellow Turban bandits on the top of the city is large and their firepower is dense, but they shoot upwards from below the top of the city; while the archers of the Han army on the top of the city are few in number, but they are condescending and shoot down the city. Army archers are not much different.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Thief's pawns rushed towards the low city wall of Suanzao carrying the temporary ladders, but there were not many ladders.
