Chapter 75: Falling into the City

"Arrowman, counterattack!" On the city wall, Du Yuan picked up a long bow, bent his bow and took the arrow, and did not look closely. He put all his strength into shooting towards the Han army formation, and roared at the panicked crowd.

Just a cluster of arrows, shot out like this at will, even if the enemy is shot, it will not have the effect of shock. Then came a dense rain of arrows, which scared Du Yuan so much that he quickly pounced on him and hid under the female wall in a mess. The little momentum he had just created disappeared instantly and disappeared. The pouring rain of arrows made the already panicked crowd even more panicked.

Liao Chun picked up a shield and said in a deep voice in the rain of arrows: "Shield hand, raise the shield! Arrange the array!"

Some clever shield hands quickly raised their shields and began to gradually stabilize the formation on the city walls in accordance with Liao Chun's instructions.

The panicked crowd gradually calmed down with Liao Chun's command. The archers began to fight back. Taking advantage of the city wall, they began to suppress the archers. Then reinforcements were continuously transferred from the city, and then they barely stabilized and began to shoot against the Han army.

Rolling wood and stones are usually smashed down along the ladder that has been laid on the city wall, and the casualties of the Han army began to intensify.

"Cruff~"

The heavy and harsh sound was heard clearly even after more than a hundred steps. Liao Chun's face changed and he said sternly: "Let's go down~"

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

With a harsh roar, more than a dozen catapults roared at the same time, and more than a dozen stone bombs fell on the city wall one after another, and the earth shook. For a moment, the entire city wall seemed to be in the end of the world. A Yellow Turban general was wandering around the city to boost morale. Suddenly, a shrill whistling sounded. Before he could react, he was hit hard by a stone bomb falling from the sky. He didn't even have time to scream. Half of his body was directly bombed by the stone bomb, and blood, shattered corpses and internal organs splattered everywhere.

The formation that had just stabilized under Liao Chun's calm command was once again in panic. The real damage that more than a dozen catapults could cause was actually very limited. The stone bomb was so large, and it was difficult to achieve accurate strikes. On average, a stone bomb might not be able to take away a life, but the blow to morale was disastrous.

The terrifying power, like a natural disaster and the terrible death of the soldiers who were hit, made the Yellow Turban Army, which had not yet completed the transformation from a farmer to a warrior, wiped out the morale that Liao Chun finally raised in an instant.

Many people threw away their weapons and ran away in panic. They wanted to leave this hellish place. Liao Chun and Du Yuan killed more than a dozen deserters in succession and could not be shocked.

"Kill~"

The Han army, who was sieging the city, took advantage of the enemy's panic, and kept climbing up the city wall along the ladder. A Han army soldier had a battle knife in his mouth and climbed up the female wall. He saw two Yellow Turban soldiers running around at a loss. With a tiger roar, he took off the battle knife and flew down, and cut off the neck of a Yellow Turban army with one knife. Blood spurted on his face, but he had no idea. Instead, he showed an excited look and rushed towards another person.

A Yellow Turban Army next to him wanted to help, but another Han army had already climbed up to the city wall. Seeing this, he threw the knife in his hand out. The heavy sword was in shocked gaze of the Yellow Turban Army. Qigen was immersed in his chest. However, before he could jump off, a Yellow Turban Army rushed up with a spear. In the ferocious gaze of the Han army, the spear pierced into his chest and pushed him down from the city wall.

The same scene continued to happen on the city wall, and more and more Han troops rushed up the city wall. Even if Liao Chun, Du Yuan and other generals did not touch the ground to remedy the damage caused by the low morale, they still could not make up for the damage caused by the depressed morale. The bigger the Yellow Turban Army, the more chaotic it became. On the other hand, the Han army began to deploy in an orderly manner after attacking the city wall. From the beginning, there was a stalemate between each other. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban Army guarding the city was defeated.

The catapult cart was no longer useful. It seemed that it was moved from a distance to fire a dozen stone bullets, but it had a huge impact on the morale of the Yellow Turban defenders.

Liao Chun looked around and saw that the Han army was not in a hurry to chase the soldiers guarding the city, but was constantly driving them away, driving the Yellow Turban Army soldiers guarding the city to the stairs of the city tower, and squeezed with the Yellow Turban Army who were constantly coming to reinforce. From time to time, some people were squeezed to fall off the city wall. This was using the Yellow Turban Army to attack the Yellow Turban Army's own formation. The Yellow Turban Army, which had been killed by the Han army, lacked courage when facing the Han army, but was not polite to the friendly troops coming to support and could not escape for a while. Some even drew their swords to face each other. The chaos in the scene had reached a situation that Liao Chun could not control.

Without anyone to defend, the city gate was knocked open by the Han army with a hammer to the city. A large number of Han soldiers swarmed in. Liao Chun closed his eyes in pain. As soon as the city gate was broken, although there was still the Yellow Turban Army in the city, his morale fell. In addition, he was trapped on the city wall at this moment and the defenders in the city were unmanned. Liao Chun could almost imagine that the already low-spirited Yellow Turban Army, coupled with the unmanned commander of the organization, was about to collapse in the face of these wolf-like Han troops.

In fact, it was similar to what Liao Chun thought. After the gate of Meng County opened, Ye Zhao quickly ordered Meng Hu and Dian Wei to lead his army into the city to seize the key. When the Yellow Turban Army in the city saw the Han army break through the city gate, their morale plummeted. In addition, there was no one commander, and they either ran around or knelt down to ask for surrender. In such a large city, nearly ten thousand scholars could not bring too much trouble to Ye Zhao.
