The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 199 Is Riding a Tiger
The offensive and defensive battle is still going on fiercely.

The soldiers of the Montenegrin Army repelled wave after wave of attacks of the opponent with difficulty.

What made them most uncomfortable was that some of the city walls were seriously damaged.

The soldiers of the Han army used these positions as breakthrough points, making their defensive pressure more severe.

Fortunately, upon hearing that Huangfusong personally led the troops to attack the South Gate, Zhang Yan rushed to the top of the tower immediately.

Constantly boost morale and command operations.

Zhang Yan first stopped the soldiers who were pushing the ladder out of fear.

Prevent them from being shot and killed by enemy archers who are under the city and covering the attack of the Han soldiers.

At the same time, let your own archers use arrows to further suppress the opponent.

When the soldiers of the Han army rushed to the top of the city bravely defending their bows and arrows, and when most of their physical strength was exhausted, several people with long weapons dealt with one person.

It is safer to kill and injure the enemy's vital force as much as possible with more victories and less effort than to take risks and thankless efforts to push the ladder.

It is also better to delay the time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Zhang Yan's approach worked quickly.

stabilized the situation a little.

Then he patrolled left and right without stopping to strengthen his guidance.

Keep cheering for the soldiers!

Seeing that the coach is still so desperate, the enthusiasm of the Montenegrin army's defense has also been mobilized.

Cooperate with each other to overcome difficulties.

But the soldiers of the Han army were determined to capture the city.

Under the cover of many soldiers with swords and shields, a dozen fierce soldiers pushed the huge siege vehicle forward slowly.

Their speed is not fast, but with each step they take, the psychological pressure on the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army increases.

As time goes by.

After all, everyone approached the city with their huge carts, heading straight for the closed city gate.

above the castle.

Looking at the soldiers of the Han army approaching the city gate, Zhang Yan continued to issue orders to the soldiers around him with a loud voice:
"The archers give priority to attacking the Han soldiers next to the chariot, and shoot me hard."

Instead, he pointed at the soldiers of the Han army who were constantly climbing up the ladder, and continued to order loudly:

"Pour oil! Shoot them with rockets!

hold on!

They must not be allowed to attack..."

Under Zhang Yan's full command.

All Montenegrin soldiers acted according to orders.

Some archers bent their bows and set arrows, shooting and killing the soldiers of the Han army beside the chariot.

The kerosene was even more pot after pot, pouring down towards the soldiers of the Han army under the ladder one after another.

"Ah! My eyes!"

"Ah! It's so hot! It's burning me to death..."

The horrific howls from below the city continued to resound.

Some soldiers of the Han army were either shot to death by white feather arrows, or fell to death by falling from a ladder, or were burned to death.

But it's not over yet.

The archers of the Montenegro army immediately shot the ignited rockets at the rushing cars below the city, the ground soaked in kerosene, and the Han soldiers who were drenched in kerosene.

The flames ignited immediately when they met the kerosene, and the flames rushed around with the wind and soared into the sky.

The raging fire devoured everything with impunity.

Some Han soldiers whose bodies were stained with fire oil were unfortunately ignited by the flames.

Rolling all over the ground amidst frightened and frantic wailing, he gradually lost his voice.

War is brutal.

Siege warfare was even more brutal, with extremely high casualties.

The entire battlefield is like a high-speed meat grinder, reaping the lives of soldiers on both sides every moment.

Huangfusong had no choice but to choose to attack by force, because there was not much time left for him.

If in normal times, except for flooding Zhang Yancheng Pool.

Huangfusong will definitely try to dig tunnels, encircle three towers and one, lure the enemy out of the city, and so on.

There are many strategies in his mind that are better than siege.

The only shortcoming is that it takes a certain amount of time, and what they lack most now is time.

The amount of food and grass consumed for every extra day is a huge amount.

Moreover, Liu Yi will also play tricks on them behind their backs at any time.

While guarding against Liu Yi, they must also make a quick decision!

Finish Zhang Yan's mission to Liu Hong as soon as possible.

Forcibly attacking three gates and releasing one gate is his current strategy of besieging three gates and one, and it is to accelerate the realization of the results of this strategy.

While attacking the city, leave a way of life for Zhang Yan.

When there is a way out, Zhang Yan and others can easily lose their fighting spirit and scatter when they see that the city cannot be defended.

You will not foolishly choose to fight to the death and fight to the death.

In this way, Zhang Yan can be forced to go to the north gate, so that Zhang Kuang can take the opportunity to capture and kill him.

under the city gate.

The Han troops were completely blindsided.

Dozens of Han soldiers bravely pushed the chariots with all their strength, shouted in unison to boost their momentum, and kept hitting the city gate vigorously with their chariots.

"Boom!"

"Boom..."

The dull crashing sound resounded in everyone's ears along with the successive impacts of the rushing cars.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhang Yan could even faintly feel the tremor.

Hearing the loud bangs one after another, he hurried to the city wall to direct the battle.

This thing is too lethal to the city gate!
Right now, the city wall has been soaked in the flood for a long time, and it is unknown how many times it can withstand the impact of the car.

Once the city gate is breached, or the city wall disintegrates and collapses, the consequences will be disastrous.

He hurriedly focused his firepower on the car.

Under the intensive care of the Black Mountain Army, the soldiers of the Han army rushing to the car were shot to death again.

The rocket ignited the ground next to the rushing car, making it difficult for the rest of the Han soldiers to get close to the rushing car.

The soldiers of the Black Mountain Army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and devoted themselves to the battle of defending the city.

Huangfusong had never imagined that all the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army had such tenacious fighting spirit after being besieged by the flood for several days.

Fight for a long time.

The number of his siege soldiers lost soared like a rocket.

Nearly 2000 people were killed or injured in a blink of an eye.

The reason why he paid such a heavy price is that he was too eager for quick success.

But right now he is on the verge of riding a tiger.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Giving up on this is bad for morale, and it will only be more difficult to attack the city in the future.

Therefore, Huangfusong not only did not stop there, but ordered to strengthen the attack again.

It is bound to break through the city in one go.

Forcing the Montenegrin army to go to the north gate.

If Zhang Yan resists stubbornly, he will kill him at all costs.

There is no problem with Huangfusong's idea.

But he underestimated the determination of all the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army to defend the city.

Everyone knew very well that the Han army was not strong enough to crush them.

The strength of the two sides is similar. Although their combat power is not as good as that of the Han army, it should not be a problem to defend the city with all their strength for a few days.

Zhang Yan and other generals set an example and personally participated in the defense of the city, which further inspired their morale.

Moreover, Zhang Yan had already informed them of the upcoming reinforcements.

And spread the news that there was an ambush outside the north gate, and that Huangfusong broke through the city and would massacre the city.

Stimulated by crisis and hope, the fighting spirit of everyone is unimaginable.

They will defend the city at all costs, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Everyone firmly believes that as long as they can last until the arrival of reinforcements, the final victory must be theirs!
The two sides attacked resolutely and defended decisively.

With Zhang Yan leading all the soldiers to defend with all their strength, the city seemed to be in jeopardy.

In fact, it was like a hard bone, and it was difficult for Huangfusong and others to chew it off in a short time.

The offensive and defensive battle fell into a stalemate...
