Chapter 428

The next day, the battle passed in a dull way. For the yellow scarf army, after losing thousands of soldiers in the East and north cities, they finally filled out more than ten siege channels on the moat. Because of the night attack last night, the yellow scarf army didn't start the attack until the afternoon. At the end of the evening, they didn't fill out the siege channels.

Tomorrow will be the beginning of the real siege, but tonight, it will be the stage for the cavalry. After careful consideration, Huang Zhong agreed to Huangfu's suggestion that Chaobo's cavalry harass Huangjin camp at night. Nearly six thousand cavalry were divided into four teams by Huang Zhong. Zhao Yu, huyandu, Huang Wudi and Dugu Tian each led a team of more than one thousand cavalry. Starting from the third quarter of the first century, every half an hour, they were attacked by one team. The target was set at the Heishan Army, because the east city will be the key area of the battle tomorrow. For a moment, the black mountain military camp outside the east city was very busy all night. Several people led by cavalry kept harassing, which worried all the black mountain military generals and soldiers. On two occasions, Zhao Yu and Huang Wudi almost broke into the camp one by one. Fortunately, Zhang Yantong was much more strict than other yellow scarf generals. With the efforts of several black mountain military generals, he finally drove the cavalry out of the camp, However, that's all. There were only 1000 cavalry in the black mountain army. They didn't dare to go out to pursue at night.

Later, Zhang Yan divided the general of the Heishan army into two groups to watch the night. At the same time, he used his 20000 elite soldiers to watch the night, and all the other soldiers slept. The reason for this arrangement is that Zhang Yan knows that it is impossible to attack the city in one day, not to mention Luoyang, a huge city. The soldiers who went to battle in the first few days were all ordinary soldiers in the black mountain army. Of course, there may be elite soldiers occasionally in the middle, but not too many. The real elite soldiers will be put into the battle at the right time. However, the harassment of Luoyang garrison overnight also made Zhang Yan angry. He urged Baibo army to ask when the Hun cavalry would arrive at Luoyang battlefield. The general in Huangjin thought that thousands of Hun cavalry could see the 3000 cavalry in Luoyang City to death. Up to now, the cavalry of Luoyang army only went out several times at night, so Huangjin army still didn't know How many cavalry were there in Luoyang? They thought they were just the first 3000 Xiliang cavalry.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the cavalry of Luoyang army retreated into the city after the last harassment. Although the harassment did not cause much actual loss to the yellow scarf army, the black mountain army did not sleep well. It wasn't until the last three strokes of the day that the black mountain army assembled its soldiers and prepared to attack the city. However, this time, the Montenegrin army sent out a total of 50000 troops. According to the information from the shadow, it is estimated that there are more than 20000 people left in the Montenegrin army camp. In addition to the 10000 troops in the county, the 10000 troops lost two days ago, and the 5000 troops behind the camp who are responsible for monitoring the direction of Gucheng, it can be said that the Montenegrin army is pouring out.

Obviously, it can be seen that Zhang Yan has spent a lot of money this time. There are dozens of siege ladders pushed out by soldiers alone, as well as more than ten siege vehicles and Jinglan.

Standing on the wall of the city, Huangfu Chaobo saw that Zhang Yan's central army ran out and rode several times to the front row of the siege army, and then the sound of battle drums sounded in the whole battlefield.

"Dong Dong..."

After receiving the order, the yellow scarf army quickly divided into several soldiers in the square array, and the sword and shield soldiers escorted the siege ladder to the direction of the city wall. There were a thousand soldiers at the side of each equipment. In the first wave of attack, the yellow scarf army had a team of ten thousand people. In the sound of the war drums of the Chinese army, they slowly moved forward and gradually approached the city wall. Looking at the yellow scarf army approaching the city wall step by step, the people above the city wall were silent, staring at the enemy below the city wall. Seeing that the soldiers of the forward's siege ladder had reached the attack distance of the bow and arrow, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help looking at Huang Zhong. Who knew that Huang Zhong didn't mean to order the arrow.

The soldiers in the army's nest car of the yellow scarf army outside the city also saw that the forward soldiers had reached the bow and arrow attack range of the city guard, and immediately reported the situation to the Chinese army. Soon, as Zhang Yan's drum changed, the soldiers who were attacking the city immediately raised their shields over their heads, and their speed changed from trot to fast running. For a moment, the siege team quickly rushed to the filled channel on the moat, and was ready to run quickly under the city wall. At this time, Huang Zhong's order came down: "Herald! The crossbow soldiers fire three times at a distance of 100 steps. The archers are ready to fire at a distance of 80 steps after five rounds! "

"Buzz..."

"Whoosh..."

Standing on the top of the tower, Huangfu Chaobo only heard the sound of the city wall. Then he saw the arrows flying out of the city wall in front of him, which were like locusts, rushing straight at the yellow scarf army under the city.

Under the city, the yellow scarf army was like being slapped by a giant hand coming from the sky. The soldiers who rushed in front of the city were shot directly on the ground by the crossbow. Only a few lucky guys escaped. However, after a siege ladder taxi had lost more than half of its soldiers, the remaining soldiers could not move. Soon, the taxi driver behind him rushed up, lifted the body on the siege ladder, lifted the siege ladder and continued to rush towards the wall. Then, the next wave of crossbows and arrows fell down again, the yellow scarf army fell down again, and the taxi soldiers in the back took the ladder in front and continued to rush forward. After the rain of ten rounds of crossbows and arrows, the yellow scarf army who rushed to the city wall fell nearly a thousand people. There were bodies floating in the moat under the city wall, and the river water in the moat was soon dyed red. The yellow scarf soldiers who were shot dead by crossbows and arrows were OK. There were more unfortunate ghosts who were not shot dead by arrows, but they were shot in other places, such as eyes, hands and feet. There were all kinds of screams all over the city wall.However, the attack of the yellow scarf army did not stop. Under the urging of the general, the yellow scarf soldiers ran desperately towards the foot of the city wall. Soon some soldiers carried the siege ladder to the bottom of the city wall. However, the siege ladders of the yellow scarf thieves were ordinary ladders, not cloud ladders with bases and wheels. The yellow scarf soldiers who arrived at the bottom of the city wall quickly connected the ladder, and then, together with dozens of people, held the ladder toward the top of the city wall. The top of the ladder had hooks, which were used to fix the siege ladder on the horse surface at the head of the city. Seeing that the yellow scarf thief had reached the bottom of the city wall, Huang Zhong immediately ordered the crossbow soldiers to retreat, and the long spearmen and sword shield soldiers to come forward, ready to stop the enemy. At the same time, he ordered the people to carry up the prepared rolling stones and throw them down to the stomp of the siege ladder. We only heard the shouts under the city wall, and then we heard a few "thump" sounds. The yellow scarf soldiers who climbed to the middle of the road were directly smacked down the city.
