Agents of the Three Kingdoms

The soldiers responsible for guarding the city on the tower quickly moved stones, wood, boiling water, etc., and placed them all on the tower.

The sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the sound of horns continued.

The army under Yuan Shao's command roared and launched the most ferocious charge.

"Archer, get ready!"

Without the slightest panic, Tian Yu immediately gave the order.

Archers emerged from the city wall one by one, stood inside the female wall, and aimed at the soldiers attacking under the city wall.The soldiers set up their bows and shot arrows, and the howling sound pierced the sky. The bows and arrows pierced the sky, and the dense bows and arrows fell like arrow rain, shooting at the bodies of Yuan Jun's soldiers.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The arrow was sharp and pierced into the body.

Bows and arrows are shot in disorder, either shooting the body, or shooting the soldier's thigh, or shooting the soldier's face, in short, there are so many tricks, it is difficult to count...

The dense rain of arrows caused great obstacles to the charging Yuan Jun soldiers.

Groups of soldiers fell and died under the arrows.

Tian Yu stared at the soldiers attacking from outside the tower with sharp eyes. When the reinforcement soldiers approached the tower fifteen feet away, he waved his hand and stopped the soldiers from shooting arrows, and ordered: "Prepare the barbed wire!"

As soon as the words fell, another soldier stood up on the tower with a dustpan.

"Throw!"

With a low growl, the soldiers tried their best to throw out the barbed wire in the dustpan.

Caltrops, also known as caltrops, are iron thorns smelted from iron.There are a total of four iron thorns in the caltrops, which are shaped like a regular triangular pyramid. No matter how they are thrown, after falling on the ground, three iron thorns will fall to the ground, and one thorn will face upwards.In particular, the 4 iron thorns of the caltrops are about several inches long. Whether it is a horse or a soldier, they will be pierced when they step on them.

The soldiers threw it out with a dustpan, and the caltrops fell with a clatter.

Jingle!Jingle!

The barbed thorns fell to the ground one by one, the three iron thorns were firmly supported on the ground, and the other iron thorn was facing upwards.

Yuan Shao's soldiers rushed up and encountered the fallen barbed wire.

Stepping on it, there was a puff, and the iron spike directly penetrated the sole of the foot, dripping with blood, and there were wailing sounds.

The barbed caltrops fell densely on the ground, and their lethality was extremely tyrannical.

This obstruction is even more powerful than bows and arrows.

Bows and arrows can be resisted by wielding steel knives, but it is difficult to deal with caltrops after they fall to the ground.Because there were too many soldiers charging, all the soldiers were rushing forward and couldn't stop at all.Once you stop, you will definitely be hit by soldiers rushing up from behind, and your body will rush forward unconsciously, and you will be hit immediately when you step on it.

The news of the siege quickly reached Yuan Shao's ears. Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on Tian Yu's position on the tower.I didn't expect a small county magistrate to have so many tricks, it's really surprising!

"Pass down the order, the first person to attack the tower will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

"Whoever kills the county magistrate will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

"Whoever captures the county magistrate will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and promoted to a higher rank!"

Yuan Shao issued three orders in a row, the so-called great rewards must have brave men, after receiving Yuan Shao's orders, the soldiers became even more ferocious, like hungry wolves desperate for everything.These soldiers themselves were about to attack the city, and they had already hung their heads on their waistbands to fight. They could only risk their lives to fight, and had no other choice.

Yuan Shao gave generous rewards, and the soldiers charged forward even harder.

Even if there are dense barbed caltrops blocking the way ahead, even if there are bows and arrows, it is difficult to stop the soldiers from charging.

The sound of shouting and killing, one wave after another!

Tian Yu stood on the tower with a serious expression, and a serious expression flashed in his eyes.

This battle is not easy!

But no matter what, Tian Yu could only persevere.Seeing that the soldiers of Yuan Jun outside the city had rushed past the area where the caltrops were located, they had gotten closer to the city tower, and began to attack the city with ladders, cloud carts, and siege vehicles, Tian Yu no longer hesitated, and asked the soldiers to use wood, boiling water, When attacking with boiling oil and others, Tian Yu even used lime and sprinkled it directly.

Caltrops piercing the soles of the feet can heal, but lime sprinkled in the eyes cannot heal.Tian Yu had no choice but to use such a ruthless defensive method. He had to stop Yuan Jun's soldiers from attacking the city.

However, even with lime, it still couldn't stop Yuan Jun from attacking the city.

There were countless casualties, and Yuan Jun's soldiers still rushed to the top of the tower.

At the beginning, the soldiers on the tower blocked the soldiers of Yuan Jun who rushed up. Gradually, more and more Yuan Jun soldiers rushed up, but the soldiers on the tower did not have enough strength to block these attacks.There is no commanding general to lead the army, no brave soldiers to fight, and only relying on the strength of the county government under Tian Yu's control, it is difficult to resist.

Tian Yu was well prepared, but his soldiers could not hold on.

At this time, Tian Yu had also participated in the fight.

Holding a long sword in his hand, Tian Yu kept chopping and killing the soldiers who rushed up.He was covered in blood, his face was stained with blood, and his eyes were red with blood.However, more and more Yuan Jun soldiers made it difficult for Tian Yu to resist, and gradually became exhausted.

Yuan Shao smiled when he saw the situation on the tower.

There is no suspense in this battle.

However, seeing Tian Yu's defense, he felt that Tian Yu was a bit capable.If there are fierce generals who are good at fighting on the battlefield and strong soldiers stationed on the tower, the soldiers under his command cannot easily gain a firm foothold on the tower.Thinking of Tian Yu's previous arrogant behavior, and now he is about to be reduced to a prisoner, or reduced to a cold corpse, Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling complacent.

This is what happened to those who opposed him.

"Report!!"

With a panicked voice, it came from the rear of the army.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression turned cold.

The soldier ran quickly and got off his horse in front of Yuan Shao, but before the soldier had time to report the news, Yuan Shao threw out his whip and lashed at the soldier's body, shouting: "Why panic, talk slowly if you have something to do."

"Yes Yes!"

The soldier endured the pain and replied: "The rear army is under attack, and the Jizhou army is attacking."

brush! !

Yuan Shao's complexion changed drastically, instantly turning into a liver-colored one.

Right now, it is the critical time for him to attack Ping'en County. In another hour, or even less than an hour, he can completely capture Ping'en County.But at this time, the Jizhou army came to attack, and Zhang Jai and Ju Shou came to support with the army, which made Yuan Shao feel extremely uncomfortable as if there was a fly stuck in his throat.

"Report!!"

Another soldier came running, with a panicked expression on his face.

The soldiers reported: "The Jizhou army has broken through the defense line of the rear army and is coming quickly!"

Yuan Shao's mood sank even more, his complexion was ugly.

Xu You sighed softly and persuaded, "My lord, the situation is unfavorable, so let's withdraw for now."

Guo Tu also nodded, and echoed: "My lord, Ju Shou and Zhang Jai brought the army to kill. Although they temporarily solved the plight of Ping'en County, they were also involved in the war and fell into the war in Ping'en County. Next , we not only want to capture Ping'en County, but also Jushou and Zhang Zha. Temporarily avoid their sharp edge, and attack later."

Yuan Shao was still upset after hearing what the two advisers said.

Anger!

Why do people interrupt his good work every time it is critical.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

Yuan Shao had no choice but to give the order, and the clanging of gongs resounded across the battlefield.Yuan Jun's soldiers who were attacking Ping'en County were confused at first when they heard this, but quickly retreated.The densely packed army withdrew, and the guarding soldiers on the tower instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Yu had a strange look on his face, what's going on?

The city tower was about to fall, why did Yuan Shao withdraw his troops suddenly at this time?
