Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 187 Cruel War

dong dong dong~
The sound of beating drums shook the sky, and Yuan Shao's army burst into a roar, and then dark figures rushed towards Julu City like a tide, pushing the siege equipment.

Thick smoke wafted from the top of the city, and the stench continued to permeate. Only the west gate was left without fighting, and the sound of drums was heard from the other three gates.

Lv Bu standing at the east gate remained motionless, watching the scene indifferently. Yang Lin guarded the west gate, Zhang Liao and Cao Xing guarded the north gate, Gao Shun and Hao Meng guarded the south gate, and Lu Bu personally guarded the east gate.

The experienced Bingzhou army did not panic under the siege of Yuan Jun, but defended the city calmly and methodically.

The attack at the east gate was the most violent. When the dense crowd of soldiers rushed to the shooting range, Lu Bu waved his palm slowly, and said coldly: "Archers shoot freely, roll stones and roll logs to prepare."

buzz~
Countless black feathered arrows appeared in the sky, black raindrops appeared in sight, and then there were bursts of wailing and screams from below the city, but more of them were the dull sound of tinkling shots on the shield.

The cold wind was blowing and the flags were fluttering. Yuan Shao looked at the tragic siege battle in front of him indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.

The soldiers braved the rain of arrows charged frantically, and a siege ladder had been pushed to the front of the city, and there were also mobile archery towers.

The archery tower was seven or eight meters high, wrapped in cowhide, and hundreds of soldiers roared and moved slowly below. Lu Bu sneered at the corner of his mouth after seeing this scene.

"Catapult ready!"

I saw a wooden catapult on the broad city head had already been placed there, and a burly soldier began to winch, and then moved the heavy boulders one by one.

"Let go!" The indifferent voice echoed on the city again, and the unique roar of the catapult suddenly sounded continuously.

buzz~
The soldiers rushing to the forefront suddenly saw a scene that horrified them. Huge black shadows were flying over the city in the distance.

Those were huge round boulders, and after they rumbled and fell to the ground, there was a wailing sound, and this time the shields in their hands could no longer play any role.

Among them, several huge stones fell on the archery tower. In an instant, sawdust splashed, and the huge archery tower was smashed to pieces. Dozens of archers standing above fell from the sky in horror.

The ferocious siege momentum suddenly faltered, and Yuan Shaodang at the rear witnessed this scene with his own eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out in shock: "Ziyuan, is this the catapult under Lu Bu's command! fear!"

Xu You, who was behind Yuan Shao, showed a wry smile, nodded and sighed with difficulty, "That's right, my lord, this is the catapult. According to records, when Li Xin attacked Chu in the Warring States period, it was this kind of catapult that defeated the Qin army. "

When the catapult appeared, the morale of Yuan Jun who was attacking the city below plummeted. This is not because bows and arrows and shields can protect them.

Huge boulders fell from the sky one after another, and if you touch them, you will die. After the round boulders rolled down on the ground and stopped moving, they were already blood-colored boulders.

In front of the boulder is a road paved with bloody limbs. In fact, Yuan Jun's casualties were not great, but it was a huge blow to morale.

"The supervisory team steps forward!"

After a roar in front of Yuan Jun, rows of elite soldiers in armor and holding big knives came out. Those who were frightened and panicked and retreated were all beheaded by this group of ruthless and indifferent supervisors, and then placed in the army. Before the battle.

rumbling~
The catapult kept throwing it, and huge stones shot up into the sky and fell to the ground, causing a miserable howl and bloody scratches.

When Yuan Jun pushed the siege equipment to the front of the city, Lu Bu waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers behind him understood it, and respectfully clasped their fists and shouted: "No!"

Then the soldiers hurriedly roared on the top of the city, and then the soldiers who carried the boulders around the catapults put down the heavy boulders in their hands.

Next, what appeared in the sky were no longer huge stones the size of millstones, but countless densely packed stones.

Hum~ When the catapult started again this time, it was like dark clouds, small ones were the size of a fist, and big ones were as big as someone's head. On the sky, there was dense rain of stones like raindrops.

Bang bang bang~ After the rain of stones fell to the ground, there were desolate wailing, screams and panic sounds everywhere. This time the scope was huge, but the death was the least.

But the pressure in his heart was magnified to the extreme, the rain of stones fell continuously one after another, and the arm holding the shield was already numb.

Some were unlucky, even if they were holding a shield, they fell to the ground screaming and screaming after hitting a larger boulder, their arms were deformed, and blood was flowing from their mouths.

Those pairs of horrified eyes looked at the tragic situation around them, but they didn't dare to retreat, they could only rush forward crazily.

Yuan Shao's expression under the flag was getting worse and worse, "The morale has declined to such an extent before the attack on the city. The giant deer is really as solid as a rock."

Wen Wu behind Yuan Shao looked at the top of the city solemnly, they showed no mercy to the scene in front of them, six or seven thousand soldiers from each of the three sects were attacking the city bravely.

When the siege equipment approached the top of the city, the tragic siege battle had just begun. Engineering ladders were pushed to the front of the city wall, and a group of black and crazy soldiers were below.

Under extreme fear, people have only two reactions. The first is to collapse and choose to escape, but the bodies of this group of people have already fallen in front of the supervising team in front of the army. Their helpless and panicked eyes were covered with ashes. The heads were placed in front of the army formation to deter the rest of the retreaters.

The second type is madness. Under extreme fear, their inner defenses are completely shattered, and they follow most of the army's crazy and blind charge at a loss.

Under the bright sunshine, the air was filled with a faint chill, but the land of Jizhou was full of flames of war, and there was a burst of blood and fire under the city of Julu.

Black cauldrons slanted down from the top of the city, and there was a miserable howl under the boiling hot golden juice full of stench.

Boom~ Boulders and logs were thrown from the top of the city, and countless figures fell from the sky screaming and wailing, turning into cold corpses.

War is ruthless, and it is also a time for men to vent their violence and bravery. Under the siege, no matter whether you are a recruit or a veteran, no matter how brave you are, under this cruel counterattack, they turned into cold corpses.

The ruthless siege continued until the afternoon, when Yuan Shao ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and this group of black soldiers retreated like a tide after a burst of ecstatic exclamations.

Behind the Julu City, a mess was left on the ground. There were burning flames and damaged siege equipment everywhere, as well as the densely packed corpses that had already been cold and stiff.
