The city is full of Yellow Turbans

Chapter 199, Giant Ladder

Most of these craftsmen are from the nearby farmers, they have always cherished their lives, they are cowardly and pitiful, seeing Xu Feng's cruel actions, naturally they dare not say anything else, they only hope that they can save their lives by fulfilling Xu Feng's orders well.

Bocai led the people down to eat, the food was rich, with meat and vegetables, wine and meat, ten times better than their family's food during festivals, but at this time these people didn't even have the slightest appetite, they were frightened to death.

"General! What task is assigned to us? It's more important to do the work first. It's not too late to eat after finishing the work."

"That's right, General, let's get to work first."

……

Seeing how enthusiastic the crowd was, they even thought about working instead of eating. Even though he knew they were under Xu Feng's majesty, Bo Cai was quite satisfied.

"Forget it, since you are so concerned about the overall situation and are eager to share the worries of my master, I will help you all, let's go, come with me."

"Gu Quan, who would work so hard if your lord hadn't been so threatening."

Some people were naturally very dissatisfied with Bo Cai's words, but it was only a small complaint in their hearts. If he really asked him to speak out in person, even if he lent them ten guts, they would not be able to do it.

Under the sword, the craftsmen are full of motivation, one by one, they are like clockwork. The huge siege ladder was built by everyone in just a few hours. After settling these craftsmen, Xu Feng summoned all the soldiers overnight to assign tasks.

Everyone understood that the most critical moment was coming soon. Not only was there a tense atmosphere on Xu Feng's side, but the entire Luoyang City showed no signs of calm because of the approaching night.

When soldiers approach the city, no one can feel at ease, not to mention that the one leading the soldiers to besiege the city is a weird, treacherous and vicious ghost fox.

Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that there was no movement on the city wall, He Jin often let out a sigh of relief, hey, it seems that he was overthinking, Xu Feng didn't dare to attack the city at all, as long as he couldn't hold on, he would wait until the west. Liang Governor Dong Zhuo came with his army, and it was the end of Xu Feng's life.

Chacha!

There was a slight noise, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly probed to look down the city.

After watching for a long time, the defenders breathed a sigh of relief because of any changes. Seeing the heroic appearance of Zhang Fei and others in the daytime, the defenders were also very upset and worried.

Chacha!

There was another sound, but there was still no movement.

This time the movement became louder and louder, and the defenders' ears pricked up in shock, and they looked into the distance under the light of the torch, and suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?"

"Whoosh!"

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air came, and one of the shouting soldiers got an arrow in the throat without warning, and the blood flowed out along the shaft of the arrow, with a trace of nostalgia and unwillingness. Down.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Hearing the sound, many defenders immediately looked around and shouted.

On the ground outside the city, a gigantic monster was slowly moving, constantly approaching the city wall. The defenders racked their brains but couldn't figure out what the monster in front of them was.

It was like seeing a thick city wall, a huge barrier, and more like a black curtain. The monster moved slowly, scraping the ground and clanging. The figure followed the giant monster and kept moving forward.

"Yellow Turbans attack the city, the Yellow Turbans attack the city."

"Hoo hoo, hoo hoo!"

Not only is the huge monster moving forward, but there are also bursts of neat chant from under the monster. The voice is loud and powerful, densely packed. I don’t know how many yellow scarf soldiers are hiding under the monster. There are sharp-eyed soldiers pointing at the feet of the moving monster. Exclaimed, "Someone is pushing the monster forward, and there are thousands of people."

"Express and the general learned that the Yellow Turban has attacked the city."

The soldiers defending the city did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly sent people to fly to report the alarmed army He Jin.

"Sister, this is the list of state shepherds prepared for my brother together with Chaowen Wu. No matter what, you must let His Majesty issue an edict as soon as possible. Once you come, the state shepherds will be grateful to my brothers and sisters, and add to your brother and sister. With the help of people, secondly, the elite of the Han Dynasty was completely lost. If you want to maintain the safety of the country and ensure that the country will last forever, all localities must recruit their own troops and summon the townspeople to fight the thieves together. Thirdly, if the governor of Xiliang cannot withdraw in time to help Let the shepherds of all states lead their troops to rescue the capital and deter the traitor Xu Feng."

"Elder brother is very considerate, younger sister has written it down, His Majesty is sick and has been ill for a long time, and now he is being frightened by rebels again, I'm afraid..."

"Speak carefully, speak carefully, be careful that walls have ears."

"Bian'er is young, you, as an uncle, can't get out of your affairs, you have to make plans for His Majesty a hundred years later, so that you and I, brother and sister, won't lose power and be left out in the cold. Today, everything about you and me is here. It's not easy, brother must take care of it, His Majesty in the palace is sick, and my sister is not easy to stay for a long time, I should go back to the palace."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Then, the door of He Jin's study creaked softly, and a man and a woman walked out from the door. The man walked like a tiger, wearing armor and a helmet, striding forward, with the majesty of a superior person, and the woman was plump and graceful. , Like a willow supported by the breeze, walking in style, wearing gold and silver, showing nobility, under the beautiful eyebrows, the phoenix eyes are full of spring, revealing a charming coquettishness.

"Drive back to the palace." Not long after, under the escort of the palace guards, He Jin's sister drove to the palace.

He Jin's younger sister is either someone else or Liu Bian's mother, who is she now.

"Report, General, something is wrong, the yellow scarf Xu Feng attacked the city at night."

Before He Hou drove out of the gate of He Jin's mansion, a sweaty soldier rushed in panicking while running and shouting.

"Who dares to attack the Empress Fengjia?" Seeing a soldier running towards the queen's sedan chair, the guards at the side hurriedly drew their swords and angrily rebuked.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Who attacked the city?"

Lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, a delicate melon-seeded face was revealed. He Hou's phoenix eyes were wide open, and she looked at the soldiers standing shiveringly under the threat of the guard's sword with a look of surprise.

"Reporting to Madam, the big thing is not good. The yellow scarf Xu Feng outside the city attacked the city overnight. I don't know where they made a huge monster, which is constantly approaching the city wall."

"Stop the car!"

"Here!"

Since Xu Feng led the army to attack the city, the city would inevitably be chaotic at night, He Hou was worried about being disturbed, so he decided to stay in He Jin's mansion for the time being. On weekdays, the Ling Emperor would definitely not allow it, but the current Ling Emperor is already sick and dying , the deadline is approaching, how can these be taken into account.

"General, hurry up and defend the city. Don't let the traitor's scheme succeed. I will rest in the mansion for a while. You can go." He Jin didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go back in the end."

He Jin didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly left the mansion with fists in his arms and rushed to the tower.

"My lord, what is this?"

Even the well-informed Guo Jia was shocked when he saw such a giant ladder up close for the first time, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"This is a siege ladder, but its length and width are hundreds of times larger than the previous ones. It is built with long bamboo as a whole, forming an upside-down triangle. It is ten feet high and more than 30 feet wide. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Once the five-foot platform is close to the city wall, it will be like a steep slope, which can be used to attack the city. The enemy's rolling wood and thunder stone defense equipment is useless except for tung oil, which can slightly damage this object. A lot of troubles, once you get close, you will be in hand-to-hand combat. The mere [-] Luoyang defenders are not enough to deter our Yellow Turban soldiers. Thinking back to when Yangping broke the embankment, the commander of the flood water used this to stabilize the embankment. Feng Xiao thought How about this thing? Is there a chance of winning the siege?"

"My lord has a wonderful idea. I have never heard of or seen this thing. It is like a mountain wall and a cliff. It is extremely stable. It can attack and defend. If it can really get close to the city wall, even if Luoyang City is the land of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on to it." , My lord's ingenious plan, I admire you." Guo Jia rode horses and Xu Feng side by side while watching the giant cloud ladder that was constantly moving forward, and exclaimed.

"Hehe, everything in the world has a magical function. If I can use it according to the situation, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and be of great benefit." Xu Feng replied calmly.

"Hey, hey, soldiers, we are less than two hundred steps away from the city wall, work harder." Dian Wei looked at the Luoyang city wall in front of him, and shouted loudly at the soldiers.

"One two, go, one two go."

The giant ladder is like a giant moving dragon, constantly making the clanging sound of earthquakes and mountains and rivers. With the efforts of thousands of men in yellow scarves, it gradually approaches the city wall of Luoyang.

"Shoot the arrow, let the arrow go, shoot these traitors to death for me, and don't let them get close." He Jin, who climbed up the tower, looked at the giant monster that was approaching from the opposite side, and was also very anxious, so he hurriedly ordered to shoot the arrow. .

Whoosh whoosh!
Thousands of archers bent their bows and set their arrows, aiming at the moving monsters and shooting arrows continuously. The arrows in the air came densely like locusts. However, after the sound of clanging and colliding, these carved feather arrows did not shoot at the monsters. On the ground, they were blocked and landed on the ground. The opponent's yellow scarf soldiers were hidden behind monsters, and bows and arrows were of no use to them at all.

"Throw the rolling wooden thunder stone and hit me hard."

Seeing that the bow and arrow were ineffective, He Jin became even more anxious and hurriedly changed the order.

"General, the distance is too far, and the rolling wood and lightning stone can't reach it at all."

"Take tung oil and shoot it with a rocket. General Meng De doesn't know what it is, but it must be made by Xu Feng using wood and bamboo nearby. Since it is wood and bamboo, it is afraid of fire. Burn it with fire, it will definitely work. " Cao Cao looked away, turned around and tried to persuade He Jin.

"Forget it, I have to give it a try. Get tung oil, obey the order of the captain, and shoot with rockets."

"My lord! They want to set fire to the siege ladder, what can they do?"

Seeing that there were crowds of people on the opposite city wall, someone kept bringing altars and pots, Guo Jia hurriedly turned and rushed towards Xu Feng.
