I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 166 The Last Moment

Under Zhang Yun's command, Yuan Jun's attack was very violent.

Wave after wave of soldiers rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

From morning to noon, and from noon to evening.

There are corpses scattered all over the city wall, and these corpses are piled up several meters high.

By the evening, nearly [-] people had been killed or injured by Zhang Xi's army.

Fortunately, the soldiers under Zhang Xi's command are veterans who have experienced many battles, otherwise, such casualties would have already caused a mutiny.

Zhang He suffered heavy casualties here, and Su Ming is not feeling well here either!

On the city wall, of the 2000 private troops gathered by the aristocratic families, there are only more than [-] people left.

The wives, children, parents, and sisters of these soldiers are all in the city.

If it weren't for the fear of Zhang Yun entering the city and massacring the city, they would have surrendered long ago.

However, the defenders on the city wall are about to reach their limit.

The main reason is that Zhang Yun's wheel warfare tactics are too dirty, Yuan Jun who is attacking the city can still take turns to rest, but the defenders on the city wall have not rested all day.

At this time, it was the day when the sky was about to get dark.

It was getting dark, but it wasn't dark yet.

"Junyi, it's time!"

"Attacking at this time is most beneficial to our army."

"Our third wave of army and your halberd are dead, we can attack the city!" Tian Feng said to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Xi divided his troops into three waves. Today's siege all day was carried out by the first and second waves of soldiers.

The soldiers of the third wave, Zhang Xi has been hiding to no avail.

What he was waiting for was the time when the defenders on the city wall were tired all day, the most exhausted.

At this time, he used his elite halberd to die, and the third wave of the army who was waiting for work, also launched this fatal blow.

Zhang He nodded and said to Tian Feng: "Military Master, I will leave everything under the city to you!"

"This time, I will personally lead the army to attack the city. If I fail, I will become benevolent."

Zhang Yun had already fought his way out. If he could not attack Yecheng today, he would die on the city wall.

Because, Zhang Yun himself is very clear about the principle of one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion.

Today is already the second day that they have attacked the city with all their strength.

Moreover, today's casualties are very large.

If Zhang He had not gained enough prestige in the army to force the soldiers down, I am afraid that these soldiers would have mutinied long ago.

Zhang He knew in his heart that if they couldn't take Yecheng today, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for them to take Yecheng.

For Zhang Yun, success depends on tonight.

Tian Feng naturally understood what Zhang He understood.

"Junyi, just give it a go, I have everything under the city!" Tian Feng said slowly.

In Yuan Jun's camp, Zhang Yun summoned the third wave of soldiers and his elite troops, the Euphorbia soldiers.

Zhang He personally encouraged them, and said loudly, "Brothers, tonight's battle will be the last battle!"

"In this battle, I, Zhang He, will personally lead the charge. If Yecheng is captured, we will rest in Yecheng tonight."

"If you can't conquer Yecheng, let my body fall under the city wall and rest in Yecheng forever."

"Brothers, do you have the confidence to capture Yecheng?"

After Zhang Yun's voice fell, Yuan Jun's soldiers headed by the euphorbia warrior waved their weapons and roared, "Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Looking at these soldiers who screamed like wolf cubs, Zhang Yun's blood was also boiling.

Zhang He thought to himself, in this battle, I will take Yecheng, and I will be ashamed.

After boosting morale, Zhang He led the army and launched the most violent attack on the city wall of Yecheng.

"Whoosh."

"Whizzing."

The rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun was thrown towards the city wall.

The catapults under the city are also constantly throwing boulders towards the city wall.

Zhang He wanted to use long-range firepower to suppress the enemy troops on the city wall, so as to reach the city wall of Yecheng at the lowest cost.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall were eating.

Since this battle has been fought from daytime to evening, and the intermission time is very short, everyone didn't care about eating at all.

Yuan Jun's offensive had just stopped, and the defenders on the city wall had just begun to eat a few bites of flatbread and jerky. Who knows, Yuan Jun's next wave of offensive came again.

"Oh shit!"

"It's endless!"

"If I didn't have enough troops, I would have to go to the city to kill them!" Tai Shici said while biting his mouth, muttering indistinctly.

Seeing Yuan Jun under the city launched a new round of attack, Su Ming's face turned ugly.

After a tiring day, the defenders on the city wall were exhausted.

At this time, Yuan Jun actually wanted to fight.

"My lord, it looks like they are going to fight at night!" Zhang Liao said in a heavy tone.

Then, Zhang Liao looked at the unkempt and embarrassed defenders on the top of the wall.

Zhang Liao knew that as a temporary private army, they were able to fight the battle to this extent, which was already very good.

You know, the casualty ratio of these private troops has already reached half.

If not, they are all locals, their parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters are all in the city, I am afraid that they would have surrendered long ago.

"My lord, let my trapped camp take the lead!" Zhang Liao suggested to Su Ming.

At this time, the only defenders on the city wall that remained relatively intact were Zhang Liao's camp.

Let Zhang Liao's trapped camp take the lead?

There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp, but taking the lead often means huge casualties.

Su Ming shook his head and said, "No, you can't use it in the camp."

"If you want to fall into the camp and take the lead, before dawn, you will be exhausted if you fall into the camp."

"Without the trapped camp, what should we do if Zhang Yun is attacking tomorrow?"

Zhang Liao quickly persuaded: "Young master, if the trapped camp is not allowed to take the lead, we may not be able to defend tonight."

"If you can't hold on today, what do you want tomorrow?"

It has to be said that whether it is Zhang He's command or the elite level of these soldiers under him, they are not inferior to Cao Cao's army.

It can even be said that Zhang Yun's army is more elite than Cao Cao's army.

Before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was the number one prince in the world.

His subordinates are all elite soldiers, with sufficient food and grass, as well as excellent armor and weapons.

And Cao Cao fights all the year round, although there are many veterans under his command, but there are also many bandits and routs gathered.

For example, the Qingzhou Army and the Montenegro Army composed of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army.

Today, Zhang Yun's army also proved that the Yuan army before the Guandu battle was not weak.

If it weren't for Su Ming setting fire to Wuchao's granary, it would be hard to say who will win the battle at Guandu.

At this moment, Su Ming was also thinking hard.

Su Ming was thinking about how to defend this wave of Yuan Jun's offensive without letting the trapped camp take the lead.

The strength of the army is already stretched, and it is difficult to defend it.
