After hearing Wei Yan's words, Liu Bei was about to answer, but he heard a cheer: "Wen and Wen are worthy of being both civil and military, this plan is a bit wonderful."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Xu Shu who came over at some point and shouted like this. Liu Bei smiled and said, "Since even Yuan Zhi thought this plan was feasible, then let him do it as he did. I will give you three thousand white-eared elite soldiers to support Lushan City. As long as you stick to it for ten days, you will be successful."

After Wei Yan received his order, he wanted to go and prepare, but was stopped by Xu Shu: "Wenhe, please wait, I have something to tell you." Wei Yan was stunned, not knowing what Xu Shu had to say to him. Xu Shu had already said, "General has dealt with Liang Jun, do you know what they are so powerful?"

Wei Yan replied: "Mr. Yuanzhi, this one is naturally aware of one or two. They claim that the equipment of the crossbows is the sharpest, and no one can imitate it today. This object can shoot a fire bomb that can be detonated and can also eject stone bombs weighing dozens of kilograms. It also hits extremely accurate. Finally, they also have an object that can be suspended in the air. Although this object cannot move around and needs to be pulled by the ground, it can be used to detect enemy situations and sometimes serve as a stronghold for crossbowmen. Uh, when it comes to crossbowmen, their crossbowmen use a long bow that is higher than a human head, which can shoot heavy arrows hundreds of steps away. The heavy arrows they shoot are extremely powerful, and can even pierce through heavy armor a hundred steps away."

Xu Shu asked again: "Wenhe knows the method of siege they often use."

Wei Yan nodded and said, "I know this one, and their siege mainly relies on crossbows and longbows. First, use crossbows and longbows to cover the city's head with the longbows that can explode fire bombs all over the ground, stone bombs and heavy arrows, so that the defenders on the city's head will not have a place to stand, and then command the infantry to take the opportunity to climb to the top of the city. Even if the defenders hide behind the battlement wall, they will inevitably be burned by the flames after the fire bomb's detonation."

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I heard about these tactics of Liang's army earlier, so I have been thinking about how to deal with them. But these methods have not been actually verified on the battlefield..." Wei Yan listened carefully to Xu Shu's story before leaving.

...

At the city of Lushan, Zhao Yun persuaded the defenders in the city several times but failed, so he had to set up a military formation to launch an attack. The Liang army continued to perform the same trick and adopted their unique classic siege tactics. The difference is that the Liang army also cooperated with the siege tower ships this time, which was even more powerful.

Because Lushan City is far away from Huzhao Mountain and is separated by several cities, Wei Yan, who entered Lushan City very early, had enough time to prepare in advance.

Zhao Yun gave the order, and the fireball and stone bounced towards the top of Lushan City. The stones suddenly collapsed and the tiles were cracked, and the flames rose, and the earth was shaking. However, the soldiers of Linjiang soldiers at the top of Lushan City were hiding on a temporary plank road behind the city wall.

The plank road is five feet wide and is suspended behind the city wall, four feet high from the city head, completely in the blind spot of the opponent's crossbow cannons. Therefore, although the city head is covered by fire and gravel is flying everywhere, the Linjiang soldiers hiding on the plank road did not cause any casualties. Moreover, they just need to step on a low stool and climb up to the city head back.

Zhao Yun, who was observing in the airship, soon discovered this secret. He immediately sent a command to mobilize the "flying troops" of various legions to assist. However, the longbowers on the airship were unable to shoot the beacons on these plank roads. This was because the airship was limited in height and the plank road was always in the shooting blind spot.

Even if the airship can be raised infinitely and finally the plank road can be seen by the people in the airship hoist basket, then the target will definitely be too far away from the longbowman to accurately shoot the arrow with the beacon onto the plank road.

Therefore, these Qiang eagles carrying hot bombs were aimlessly dropped fire bombs near the head of Lushan City, and the Hast giant eagles made a fatal blow to the random targets in the city. Whenever they dived down, arrows might shoot towards them densely. This proves that there are a large number of crossbowmen in Lushan City. In less than half an hour, several eagles fell from the air in a roar. Seeing that it would not be worth the cost, Zhao Yun had to recall these eagles' "Flying Army".

In order to seize the time, Zhao Yun had no time to think of a better tactic, so he immediately ordered a general attack. The sound of drums and trumpets suddenly erupted in the Liang army formation.

The first to advance to the base of the city wall were the trap camps of the ejectors and Gaoshun Legion. The operators of the catapults pushed the equipment that looked like a crossbow to the city, and the short Beigemi ejectors walked quickly with small steps and followed the marks of the catapults. The soldiers of the trap camp were around the catapults, and most of them were carrying the ladders of the city. The siege boats in the Mianshui were also heading towards the north gate of the water gate of Lushan City.

Seeing that the soldiers siege the city had approached the walls of the city walls, the guns and shield soldiers of the Gaoshun Legion's camp had raised the ladder high, Zhao Yun made a gesture, meaning that the longbowmen of the crossbow stopped shooting, so as not to hurt their own people.

There was another special rhythm of drums and trumpets in the Liang army formation, and the rows of crossbows stopped firing. The guns and shield soldiers in the camp held swords, held shields in their right hand, and climbed up the ladder with their left hand. At the same time, the catapults made a fluttering sound, bounced the short Begemi catapults high.

Except for a few of these Beigemi ejectors who were mistakenly bounced onto the city wall and shattered and fell to the city and died on the spot, most of them were successfully ejected to the top of the city.

However, as soon as they stood at the city top burning with fire, the white-eared elite soldiers lying on the plank road behind the city walls all appeared, shooting a cold arrow from behind the inner battlements. These Beigemi ejectors could not have been equipped with heavy armor, and the dense arrows pierced their bodies mercilessly. They fell down in pieces while screaming and wailing.

Immediately afterwards, the guns and shield soldiers who rushed up the ladder were treated the same. However, their casualties were much smaller than those of the projectile soldiers. After all, they had ring armor and shield protection. Rows of white-eared elite soldiers jumped from the plank road to the city wall and rushed towards the guns and shield soldiers.

With a bang, one of the Liang soldiers used a shield to block the spear that was stabbing straight in, and the other two spear guns went left and right, and pierced at his left and right ribs. He shook his body and dodged the shot on the left, but the spear on the right pierced through his ring armor and penetrated deeply into his right ribs.

This Liang soldier is worthy of being an elite soldier in the camp. He gritted his teeth and broke free from the spear, snatched two more steps to one side, and sent the short sword into the body of another white-eared soldier who didn't notice him.

The white-eared soldier who stabbed him also fell to the top of the city because a seriously injured Beigemi ejector suddenly stood up and sent the dagger into his abdomen.

At the end of the Lushan city where the fire was not extinguished, there was a sound of killing, and the two sides were red and killed in a ball...
