Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 479 Bloody Battle in Qinghe City

Following Yuan Shang's order, after the trumpets sounded, the war drums began to sound.

Numerous soldiers with large shields walked in the forefront, behind them were archers with bows and arrows, and finally, infantry with swords and ladders on their shoulders, preparing to climb the city.

Yuan Shang led the reserve team and the supervising team and rode behind the battle. The cold wind blew his hair, but his heart was burning like fire at this moment!
"Get rid of Yuan Tan today, and no one in Hebei will compete with me again. After I recover my strength, I will compete with Cao Cao. This world will eventually belong to us young people!"

At the same time, Yuan Shang's generals Su You, Ma Yan, and Zhang Wei attacked the city from the other three sides.

Attacking from all sides, Yuan Shang vowed to complete the one-hit kill against Yuan Tan!

"Boom boom boom!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

When the drums of war sound, murderous intent begins!

The siege of Yuan Shang's army was like shaking the ground, it was very majestic and shocking!

The soldiers on Qinghe City were captured by the momentum of Yuan Shang's army, and they couldn't help but all changed their faces, so that the fear of being unable to resist rose in their hearts.

But compared to the fear of the soldiers,

Yuan Tan, Xin Ping, and Xin Pi on the city wall can still be at ease, all because they still have a hole card that Yuan Shang doesn't know!

"The momentum is not bad." Seeing Yuan Shang's army getting closer and closer, Yuan Tan strengthened his composure and commented.

Simpi looked into the distance and said, "My lord, we have to be steady again. Yuan Shang's reserve team has not been fully pressed yet. We have to wait for him to completely let go before Cao Jun can raid from behind and kill them in a big defeat." !"

Xin Ping and Yuan Tan Qiqi nodded in agreement. So far, the two of them have not seen that Xin Pi has betrayed.It has to be said that Simpi's methods and acting skills are very online.

As Yuan Shang's siege army continued to advance, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, 180 steps, 150 steps, [-] steps
When Yuan Shang's army came 120 steps outside the city wall, Yuan Tan finally waved his right hand and ordered, "Fire the arrow."

"Fire arrows!"

Yuan Shang's order was conveyed,

Immediately, countless archers loosened their bowstrings,

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of arrows raining through the air bursts, and the sky seemed to be dark for a moment, and then countless arrows fell from the sky.

"Puchi, puchi."

"Ah, ah, ah."

Arrows rained down from the sky, and the front row protected by large shields was fine, but the archers and siege soldiers behind Yuan Jun were hit by arrows one after another, and were killed on the spot, or fell to the ground screaming again and again.

The range of the archers on the city wall was farther than that on the ground. Yuan Shang's archers had to go forward another twenty steps if they wanted to fight back.

For just these twenty steps, Yuan Shangjun paid a great price.

Finally within a hundred steps, the general in charge of the siege immediately shouted: "Archers shoot arrows, cover the siege!"

"Shh!"

Uniform arrows flew out from Yuan Shangjun's formation, and the soldiers on the city wall began to look for places to hide.

The personal guards carried large shields as tall as a person, and completely covered Yuan Tan, Xin Pi, and Xin Ping.

Hearing the sound of the arrow being bounced off the iron shield, Yuan Tan suppressed his trembling voice and asked, "Mr. George, can't you dispatch the cavalry?"

"My lord, wait a little longer!"

"Okay!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said.

Yuan Shang's army on all sides had already reached about eighty paces, and the two sides had now started shooting each other, but generally speaking, the archers on the city wall had a certain advantage.

Just as the two sides were shooting each other, Yuan Shang's siege team finally approached the city wall under the cover of his own archers.

Since Qinghe City was not protected by a moat, the pawns carrying the ladders could easily reach under the city wall.

"Siege!"

"Whoever kills Yuan Tan will be rewarded with five thousand pieces of gold and sealed as Marquis of Thousand Households (thousands of households for the big ones, and five hundred households for the small ones)!"

With Yuan Shang's increase, the siege posture of Yuan Shang's soldiers has once again increased by a small amount.

"Tsk tsk. My head price has increased again!" Yuan Tan smiled wryly.

"My lord, don't worry, the official siege battle has just begun, and our advantages have not yet been revealed." Simpi has been comforting Yuan Tan, because only when the two sides enter into hand-to-hand combat, the consumption of each other will reach the maximum.

When the ladder reached the city wall, countless siege soldiers climbed up the ladder with hands and feet.

At the same time, the rolling logs and stones on the city wall began to be thrown; then hot boiling water and even boiling oil were also poured on the siege army under the city wall.

The soldiers who were hit by the rolling logs and stones all screamed and fell from the siege ladder to the ground.

The shorter ones are okay, and they can even jump away and escape by themselves, while the ones that climb too fast and too high can only fall to the ground and die with regret.

It was even more miserable to be splashed with boiling water and oil on the soldiers. They were burned to pieces on the spot, rolling and screaming on the ground.

Although rolling wood, stones and boiling oil are not as lethal as bows and arrows, the consequences caused by these things are extremely bloody, and those who are scalded by boiling oil and boiling water are even more miserable.

This is a great blow to the morale of the attacking side, and it can also make the soldiers on the attacking side fearful, thereby reducing the pressure on the defenders.

Yuan Shang saw that the morale of his soldiers was frustrated, and he saw that the aggressive first attack had not even climbed the city wall, and he was about to be repelled. How could he swallow this breath?
"Reserve team, supervising team, let me go!"

"Continue to attack the city!"

"Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

Yuan Shang's supervisory team and reserve team finally arrived, and after beheading more than a dozen fleeing soldiers, the attacking soldiers stabilized again.

Anyway, the left and right are all dead, so it's better to climb the city wall and fight the enemy. Maybe if you are lucky, you can survive, or even confine your wife and son?

"kill!"

The morale of Yuan Shang's army was revived, and the soldiers, whether they were really fearless or stubborn, started to climb the siege ladder again, and swarmed up the city wall.

Yuan Tan had already seen Yuan Shang's soldiers climbing up the female wall through the gap in the shield. He looked at Simpi next to him and said, "Mr. George, Yuan Shang's reserve team has already entered!"

Naturally, Simpi didn't dare to procrastinate too clearly, he nodded and said: "Master Huiyan, this is a good time to launch a surprise attack!"

"Hahaha!" Yuan Tan burst out laughing, "This general has been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Yuan Tan parted from the guards in front of him, pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Pass me to the general, blow the horn to attack!"

"Woooooo!!!"

The desolate sound of the horn seemed abrupt and distant amidst the tragic fighting.

After Yuan Shang and Guo Tu suddenly heard the sound of the horn from the city, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in their hearts, "Not good! Yuan Tan still has a backup!!!"

"kill!!!"

Just when Yuan Shang and Guo Tu were looking at each other, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the distance!

"It's cavalry!!"

"Yuan Tan actually hides a large number of cavalry!"

"Not good! My lord, quickly order the army to retreat quickly!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Yuan Shang shouted to retreat, regardless of whether the soldiers who attacked the city would retreat for a while, anyway, he led the guards and the supervising team to retreat first.

Zhang Liao and Wei Yan led [-] cavalry each, regardless of Yuan Shang, who ran faster than a rabbit, first broke up Yuan Shang's attacking army at the west gate, then attacked the north and south gates in two directions, and finally finished at the east gate. join forces.

Yuan Shang's siege army was attacked by cavalry from behind, and it was powerless to stop it.

Cao Jun's cavalry was as powerful as a broken bamboo. Wherever they went, Yuan Shang's army fled to death, and the siege of the city collapsed in an instant.
