The cold wind in late winter is already biting, and many places have begun to freeze. For the defenders of Yecheng, this winter is particularly cold, not only the weather, but also the people's hearts.

Li Shan had already been in the Jizhou Army since Han Fu. He was a young and passionate boy, and like many others wanted to gain wealth and honor on the battlefield, be granted the title of marquis and become a general.

He followed Han Fu to fight against Dong. Later Han Fu surrendered and switched to Yuan Shao's command. At that time, he was just a commander. Later, he followed Yuan Shao in the northern and southern wars and fought against the Black Mountain bandits, Gongsun Zan, and the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

After more than ten years of wandering around and killing people, he returned to Yecheng.

The enthusiasm of his youth has been worn away in the military career of more than ten years. The person who joined the army with him can no longer be found. War can only last for four people. A man’s meritorious deeds will be gained immediately. Why bother to return a corpse wrapped in horse leather? Hearing this, the blood is boiling.

, but a person with his background would not be worthy of being shrouded in horse leather even if he died in battle.

Now, he is already a military prince. With his background, this step is already the limit. Even if he has merit, it will be difficult to get promoted. Looking at the energetic faces of the young people around him, Li Shan sighed.

, Chen Mo is calling. After this battle, I don’t know how many others can be seen.

Woo~woo~

The long sound of the horn brought the desolation and majesty of the northwest land, and the army in the distance began to become clearer in sight, which also brought Li Shan back to his mind.

"Stand still, don't be afraid. The Guanzhong Army is also a human being, made of flesh and blood like me. What are you afraid of?" Li Shan walked on the top of the city and watched the troops on the opposite side line up neatly towards the city wall.

He slowly approached and scolded these new recruits who had never seen the world in a deep voice.

Li Shan could feel their fear, and even Li Shan was a little trembling. In the Battle of Muye, Li Shan was still the leader of the team. In that battle, he actually defeated more with less. The Guanzhong Army was so fierce that they were not afraid of death.

The momentum, even now when I think about it, still makes Fazi fearful in his heart.

But the most fearful thing on the battlefield is that the enemy's momentum is suppressed. As a general, Li Shan cannot be chaotic. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, Li Shan knows very well how to fight the battle.

The horn at the top of the city also sounded at this time, and more Jizhou troops gathered towards this side.

"Don't mess up!" The crowd began to get a little crowded, and many of them were members of wealthy families in the city. After all, these people were not the army and had not been trained. Their arrival made the originally neat formation a bit chaotic. Li Shan frowned.

Li Shan began to restrain these people, and Li Shan was not polite to those who disobeyed orders. He went up and kicked them.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am!?" A young man was kicked down by Li Shan. He got up angrily and wanted to argue.

"Huh?" Li Shan frowned, silently picked up the knife, and looked at the young man. In the current war, any chaos is not allowed.

Seeing Li Shan's murderous look, the young man suddenly stopped talking and silently stood in the queue as instructed.

Li Shan walked back and forth in the queue with a knife, shouting a few words from time to time. This is to defend the city, and these people can be of some use. If they are fighting outside the city, these people who don't even understand basic military discipline will only

It will mess up your own position, let alone expect it to be useful when the two armies are fighting. I am afraid these people will be the first to run away.

"I don't care which family you were from before you came here? But now that you are on this city wall, you must obey military discipline. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy!" Li Shan, who was walking among the crowd, looked at those who responded with malicious eyes.

I don't care. The army has military rules. Since you are here, put your shitty identity aside.

Crunch~

There was the sound of wood rubbing against each other in the distance, and catapults, ladders, and wells were slowly pushed onto the battlefield. Li Shan took a moment to take a look, but he saw that the ladders were much larger than the usual ladders.

, it seems that the Guanzhong Army has made sufficient preparations to attack Ye City. Such a large ladder, Jing Huan, cannot be used at all in ordinary siege battles, and it is more troublesome to carry. It can almost be said to be tailor-made for Ye City.

Build.

A series of oil pans have been set up, and firewood has been added to boil. This is a good thing for dealing with ladders and wells.

The rolling logs and stones used to defend the city were continuously brought up by the people mobilized. Li Shan asked the soldiers from the aristocratic families to place these things behind the parapet, so that they could be smashed down later.

The neat queue of the Guanzhong Army stopped and dispersed a hundred steps away from the city wall. A bed-mounted crossbow appeared in sight. The number was a bit scary.

"Hide behind the parapet, don't show up!" Seeing the enemy starting to adjust the bed crossbow, Li Shan quickly ordered. This kind of bed crossbow is generally very powerful. If you take a hit, it will be disabled even if you don't die.

"Buzz~" Just when Li Shan gave the order, there was a buzz in the distance, followed by a row of crossbow arrows shooting towards the city head. The distance of a hundred steps was almost instantaneous, and Li Shan hid directly behind the female wall.

, years of combat experience, how to save one's life on the battlefield has been taught by countless robes with blood.

The soldiers from aristocratic families around looked at Li Shan and his soldiers with some ridicule, and some even began to make sarcastic remarks, but the next moment, these eyes and voices disappeared.

"Pfft~"

The cold crossbow arrows directly penetrated the two soldiers of the aristocratic family who were stuck to the wall, and nailed them to the watchtower.

The shrill screams did not last long before disappearing. Li Shan looked at the arrow shaft, which was twice as thick and long as the ordinary arrow cluster. He was shocked by the power of the crossbow. The range of this crossbow was by no means only a hundred steps, but

But he was pushed to a hundred steps away and launched. This Guan Zhongjun was very cruel.

Those private soldiers from aristocratic families who had just entered the battlefield had never seen this battle. At this moment, more than a dozen people on this section of the city wall were hit by arrows. They were lucky to be shot to death directly. The screams of those who survived made the city top

There was a hint of gloom.

A private soldier of aristocratic family screamed and tried to escape, but Li Shan went up and killed him with a knife. His fierce eyes passed over these people, and he said solemnly: "Kill those who escape before the battle!"

The second wave of arrows came again. This time, having learned from the past, the private soldiers of the family did not care about their dignity. They crowded behind the parapet for fear of being shot by the other party.

The crunching sound outside the city continued. Li Shan peeked his head from behind the parapet while shooting arrows, and saw the catapults being pushed forward one after another.

He quickly turned his head and looked at the flag officer's office, where he saw a flag officer waving the command flag.

"Fire arrows!" Li Shan quickly ordered, and an archer quickly picked up a long bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and fired arrows at the moving catapult. Many strong men pushing the catapult were shot dead, but soon

Then someone will rush up and continue to push, and there will be archers from the other side following behind the catapult. The archers from both sides will start shooting at each other, and the arrow clusters will briefly meet in the air and shoot in different directions.

The defenders were protected by city walls, and they were in a commanding position, with a longer range than their opponents. The Guanzhong Army's casualties began to increase, and the shielders could not completely protect the archers.

Crunch~Boom~

Driven by catapults, stone bullets were fired towards the city head. Stone bullets the size of a human head fell one after another. Even if they did not hit anyone, their power was so powerful that the private soldiers of the aristocratic families who had just arrived on the battlefield were stunned.

Shivering.

"Don't panic! Spread out, spread out." Li Shan stood up and struggled to direct these new recruits who had never experienced the battlefield. He could not understand the flag language, so he could only yell to get the other side to obey orders.

Another round of stone bullets passed by, and the opponent's archers had already pushed their formation to the bottom of the city under the protection of the shieldmen. The arrow clusters could already hurt the soldiers on the city wall, and the casualties began to increase. At the same time, the opponent's ladders and Jing Huan also began to move towards the city.

Approach the city wall.

"Shoot arrows, ignore those ladders and wells, shoot people!" Hoarse roars kept ringing at the top of the city. Although the addition of private soldiers from aristocratic families gave Yecheng enough manpower, these private soldiers knew nothing.

If you want to truly become a qualified warrior, at least you can't do it today.

The ladder approached, and the enemy troops continued to climb up the ladder. Rolling logs and stones began to smash down, and pots of boiling oil were poured down. Not only did the Guanzhong Army on the ladder scream miserably, but it also set the ladder on fire.

.

At the same time, the Guanzhong Army on the other side's Jinghan pounced ferociously. A private soldier from a noble family just watched blankly, and was killed by the Guanzhong Army who jumped down from the Jinghan.

"Move, are you waiting to die!?" Li Shan rushed forward, stabbed the Guanzhong Jun's chest and abdomen with a knife, and stirred the knife fiercely. The opponent grinned and screamed, wanting to swipe the knife to die with him, but Li Shan kicked him

On the contrary, more Guanzhong troops crawled over along the well. Li Shan led his soldiers around to put out the fire. Looking at the stupid private soldiers of the aristocratic families who ran away without knowing where to go, he really wished he could join them.

The fierce sound of fighting became more and more intense as the ladders and wells continued to be erected on the city wall, and the surviving private soldiers finally showed some dignity under the scoldings of various generals.

Li Shan kicked a Guanzhong soldier outside the city wall, took a deep breath, and the pressure gradually eased. These private soldiers of the aristocratic families were finally beginning to be of some use.

The fighting lasted for a day, until at sunset, the sound of the enemy's gold ringing resounded on the battlefield. The Guanzhong army began to retreat like a tide. Li Shan seemed to have lost his strength. He sat down on the city wall feebly, looking at

Looking at those private soldiers from aristocratic families who were crying or giggling after the disaster, he grinned.

Today's casualties are the heaviest, and most of them are caused by private soldiers from aristocratic families who don't know how to fight. However, after today, as these private soldiers from aristocratic families gradually adapt to the battlefield, it will be difficult for the Guanzhong Army to have such a record again.

On the other side, Chen Mo's army looked at the soldiers who were retreating like a tide. Chen Mo glanced in the direction of the city. The weakness of the defenders did not make Chen Mo happy. He knew very well that this was because most of the defenders were new soldiers.
