These siege weapons are very cumbersome and crude, and it is not troublesome to make them. They don't have much technical content, they are easy to learn, and ordinary soldiers can make them after reading them.

For three days in a row, Xiliang soldiers attacked the city with simple catapults every day, throwing stones, oil tanks, barbed wire, etc. on the top of the city.

He was crisp and neat, coming and going freely, making Zhang Miao grit his teeth in anger.

It doesn't matter that the Xiliang soldiers are throwing around like this, but it makes the defenders on the top of the city very busy and miserable.

After three days, the soldiers from Xiliang suffered little casualties, but they did a lot of damage to the guards of Chen Liucheng.

At least [-] Chenliu soldiers were injured, all of whom were injured by flying stones or hit by barbed wire. Thousands of them were seriously injured and died of life and death.

During the four days of fighting with Xiliang soldiers, nearly [-] city guards were lost successively, resulting in the loss of almost half of the soldiers and horses in Zhang Miao's headquarters, which was a heavy loss.

Moreover, morale is low, and there is a tendency to fail.

In addition, the arrow stacks and walls on the top of the city were seriously damaged, and the towers were in a mess. There were ruins everywhere after the fire, gravel and barbed wire, and it was very difficult to pass through normally. hurt.

The siege method proposed by Li Li seems to have little effect at first glance, but it is extremely detrimental.Although the city was not breached, the lethality was astonishing.

Most of the Chen Liubing were only injured and lost their combat effectiveness, but they did not die immediately.As a result, the thousands of wounded soldiers had to allocate part of Zhang Miao's troops to take care of them. The troops became more and more stretched, and the pressure on defending the city increased several times.

At the same time, Li Li has been dizzy and non-stop for the past three days.

Serving as the supervisor of a [-]-strong army, especially in the Xiliang Army with extremely poor military discipline, the position of supervisor is not an easy task.

Many things have to be prepared step by step from scratch. First of all, a strong and honest law enforcement team of more than a hundred people must be formed to patrol the military disciplines of each battalion and arrest criminals.

Secondly, it is necessary to sort out practical and feasible military discipline regulations, notify all officers and men of the army, and strictly enforce military discipline and military regulations.

Finally, it is necessary to strictly enforce the law, treat people equally, be fair and strict, not be afraid of offending others, and not favoritism.

Especially the last one is the most important.If it is not possible to be fair and strict, and enforce the law strictly, then Li Li would rather not be a supervising army with a name for nothing.

Military discipline is not only to restrain soldiers from violating military regulations and not to do evil at will, but also to establish prestige and prestige in the hearts of soldiers in the entire army.

This is what Li Li values ​​most.Otherwise, why would he take over this thankless and offending job.

Forming a law enforcement team is very simple. Li Li directly selects 200 brave men and horses from the generals' tents, and then selects [-] men from among his own soldiers, with Bo Cai as the captain. A law enforcement team of [-] people was established in this way.

It doesn't take too long to sort out the military regulations. The Xiliang Army originally had written military regulations, but they have always been superficial and have not been implemented.

After Li Li took over the rectification of military discipline, he did not change the original military regulations, and directly reiterated the commandments, notified the whole army to know, and then ordered the law enforcement team to patrol the battalions day and night to severely punish the soldiers who violated the military regulations.

After three days, more than a hundred soldiers who came out of the camp to rape village women and rob people's money were ordered by Li Li to be beheaded in public at the gate of the camp, and hang their heads on both sides of the gate for three days.

Under the bright sun, the blood-stained and dried-up heads dangled in front of tens of thousands of soldiers every day, and they could be seen by looking up when entering and leaving the camp gate.

For a time, Li Li's ferocious name was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the soldiers.When many soldiers were sleeping soundly at night, what still appeared in their minds were the hundreds of dry and rotten heads, and they woke up in the middle of the night, dripping with cold sweat.

Afterwards, Li Li gained the title of "Leng Sha Yan Luo".

Don't look at the prestige of this name, but it is actually an expression of the dissatisfaction of the soldiers of the whole army at his brutal and ruthless massacre of their colleagues. It can also be said to be a hidden resentment.

No matter how much the soldiers hated Li Li in their hearts, they were dissatisfied with his brutal methods.

However, under Li Li's tough code, the effect of rectifying military discipline was immediate and quick.

Within three days, the military discipline of the [-]-strong army suddenly changed drastically. The tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers who were arrogant and domineering suddenly became forbidden, and their unruly posture disappeared without a trace, but they were somewhat sharp. The military appearance of the division.

Chapter 22 The Battle of Chenliu

The dew was heavy late at night, the evening wind was blowing, and there was a trace of cool air in the air.

During the day, Li Jue held the formation in person, and after the catapults attacked, he dispatched [-] strong soldiers to storm Chenliucheng.

After a day of fierce fighting, until the sun and dusk fell, the two sides were still at a stalemate, and each withdrew their troops, licking their wounds.

After five days of continuous siege, Zhang Miao was at the end of his battle. More than 4000 soldiers were killed and more than [-] were injured. A total of nearly [-] soldiers were lost. City soldiers.

The Xiliang army was just the opposite. In addition to the loss of more than 2000 infantry on the first day, hundreds of casualties were lost every day. Adding today's [-] soldiers, the total loss of Xiliang was less than [-].

This loss, compared to the [-] Xiliang army, was a drop in the bucket, and it did not shake Li Jue's foundation, nor would it affect the ensuing battle.

In contrast, after five days of fierce fighting, Chen Liucheng has reached a critical moment of life and death.

If the entire Xiliang army is dispatched to attack the city tomorrow, then Chen Liucheng will be defeated in a single battle; General Zhang Miao will no longer be able to defend the city to the death, so he can only kill himself by killing himself, in the name of being loyal and unyielding.

In the middle of the night, the Changwei Mountain camp was silent.Tens of thousands of troops have long been asleep.Even the night watchmen on the watchtowers on the left and right sides of the camp gate were drowsy, yawning again and again, leaning on the pillars with their weapons in their arms, dozing off with their eyes closed.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"puff!"

In the darkness, one after another, dark arrows pierced the night sky, arriving in vain with dots of stars.

I saw the Xiliang soldiers guarding the night on the sentry towers on both sides of the gate of the camp hit arrows, rolling and falling to the ground like fallen leaves.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of torches were suddenly lit in the southern wilderness less than two miles away from the Xiliang army camp, illuminating the entire area for several miles.

In the light of the fire, two generals Xia Houdun and Li Dian led [-] Qingqi and [-] infantry were ready to go, and they had been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, all the soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths, holding long soldiers in their hands, and their black eyes were filled with a strong sense of murder.

In front of the battle, Xiahou Dun was dressed in black armor, a silver pocket on his head, and holding a five-bolt long iron spear, majestic and majestic.

The black war horse under his crotch was already jumping up and down to try it out, and almost got out of the rein, heading straight for the Xiliang camp.

"All officers and men listen to the order. The Xiliang army camp is lax. The day when we will make contributions is tonight! All officers and men, follow me to kill!"

The moment the torch was lit, Xiahoudun jumped in front of the horse formation, shouted loudly, and immediately took the lead, heading straight for the gate of the Xiliang Army's Changwei Mountain Camp.

Following his command, Li Dian led [-] cavalry to follow closely behind, galloping bravely.

Thirty meters in front of the camp gate in Xiliang, there are three horizontal and vertical four seven trenches with a width of one foot and a depth of five feet. This is Li Li's first line of defense when setting up camp.

"Bang bang bang!"

More than a dozen thick wooden planks were quickly placed on the trench, Xiahou Dun led the army to slow down a little, and passed the first line of defense safely.

The trench is an obvious means of defense, and it cannot be seen at all.

The second line of defense is three rows of fence barriers on the left and right, which are extremely heavy and can prevent the horses from directly attacking the camp gate.

"Yeah, step aside for me!"

Xiahou Dun jumped on his horse and lowered his gun, picked up several hundred kilograms of fences and barricades, and flung them to the sides; with one pick and one fling, in an instant, he cleanly broke the second gate defense.

Immediately, dozens of fierce soldiers rushed forward, opened the gate of the camp, and retreated to the sides to avoid the charge of Qingqi led by Xiahou Dun.
