Chapter 419: Violent Siege

These are just crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts have existed for a long time, and Zhang Yu hasn't gotten the catapult out yet.

The main reason is that Zhang Yu doesn't need it at the moment.

The technical content of the catapult is not too high.

If you make it yourself, it is easy to be imitated by others.

At that time, it will not be worthwhile for the other party to use it against himself.

Zhang Yu is currently focusing on development, and he often responds passively, and rarely takes the initiative to attack the city.

Qiu Liju went back, trembling with anger.

This is another day of delay, and more than 200,000 people will consume a huge amount of food and grass.

Qiu Liju couldn't ignore these.

Back in the big tent, Qiu Liju was extremely annoyed and got angry several times.

After that, Qiu Liju asked his subordinates to find a way.

"My lord, we can let the cattle and sheep go to the battle and let them destroy these barbed wire fences." A subordinate suggested.

Qiu Liju didn't agree or deny, his eyes kept flashing.

The cattle and sheep are their food, and without food, they will be in danger.

Although I don't know how many cattle and sheep will be needed to break these, but I think it will not be less.

Qiu Liju didn't dare to object openly, because he didn't take the soldiers' lives seriously.

But he didn't want to agree, cattle and sheep are sometimes more important than human life.

Looking at the generals and tribal leaders below, Qiu Liju secretly sighed in his heart, and finally he could only agree.

Another day passed. On this day, they made no progress and were driven back. They could only wait for the next day to continue destroying the barbed wire.

Even if you want to move at night, you can't see the barbed wire clearly at night.

A new day began again, but Qiu Liju's mood did not improve, but was as gloomy as before.

This time they have prepared a batch of cattle and sheep, and they will use them to charge the battle.

A group of cattle and sheep were driven up by them, and then driven into the barbed wire.

Zhang Yu and the others also appeared on the top of the city.

"They are smart enough to know how to use animals to break the formation." Zhao Yun said.

Tai Shici on the side said: "My lord, after they break the formation, I am willing to lead the cavalry out to attack them and charge them."

When Dian Wei saw Tai Shici asking for a fight, he also hurriedly said, "My lord, my subordinates are also willing to go."

Zhang Yu stretched out a hand to stop them and said, "It's not so easy for the Wuhuan people to break through the formation. This barbed wire formation is not so easy to break."

It is true that they will not be broken so easily.

When Wuhuan's cattle and sheep were driven towards the barbed wire fence, when they encountered the barbed wire fence, they would no longer go forward under the sting of the wire fence, and struggled to retreat.

Allowing Wuhuan soldiers to beat him just refused to move forward.

Barbed wire is a very terrifying existence to them.

Although cattle and sheep are strong, they are also flesh and blood, and it takes a lot of skin and flesh to destroy them, so they dare not move forward at all.

Wuhuan's soldiers drove them up with a lot of people, and almost pushed them up, but these cattle and sheep would struggle violently to escape after touching the barbed wire.

"Let the arrows go."

Although the cattle and sheep could not destroy much of the barbed wire fence, Zhang Yu still ordered the arrows to be released.

The arrows kept killing these cattle and sheep, and the Wuhuan people felt distressed seeing them.

Wuhuan people value cattle and sheep more than people, and now they are dying in batches, of course they are heartbroken.

In the end, the Wuhuan people used relatively dense herds of cattle and sheep to charge forward. The cattle and sheep in front refused to advance, and the cattle and sheep in the rear would push them forward, and there was no other way out.

This is very cruel.

Zhang Yu would not show mercy either, and increased output, causing heavy losses to their cattle and sheep.

Wuhuan felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do.

I don't know how many cattle and sheep were lost. Anyway, the city is densely packed, and there are corpses everywhere.

A lot of cattle and sheep were hit by crossbow arrows, and they flew out, startling a group of cattle and sheep. Sometimes the Wuhuan people couldn't control them and made them run back, which injured many people.

The two sides fight consumption like this.

What Zhang Yu and the others consume are arrows, and the consumption is very huge. Hundreds of thousands of arrows are used just like this.

The Wuhuan people naturally consumed cattle and sheep, and a large number of cattle and sheep were used to charge the battle.

until the evening,

There is still a part of the barbed wire that has not been cleaned up, but the barbed wire is already very broken and can no longer stop them.

As the day passed, Qiu Liju's complexion was not good, and he was not happy because he broke through the barbed wire formation.

The price is too high.

Not only pay a lot of cattle and sheep, but also waste a lot of time.

Time is life, and time is money, which is well reflected here.

Qiu Liju didn't dare to waste time. When a new day came, he immediately sent troops to attack the city.

In less than one morning, the remaining barbed wire was cleared away.

Not many soldiers and horses were pitted this time, but tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were pitted, and their morale was greatly affected.

Qiu Liju attacked again, and this time he was finally able to attack the city wall, not like before.

"kill."

After clearing all the barbed wire, Qiu Liju launched an attack.

On the top of the city, Zhang Yu and the others are ready.

The Wuhuan people began to charge, tens of thousands of people rushed over together, the scene was very spectacular.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the natural blood is spectacular.

As expected of a nation on horseback, the Wuhuan people are excellent in riding and archery. When they rushed not far below the city wall, a round of arrows came flying up.

Seen from the top of the city, a group of densely packed arrows are like locusts.

The soldiers on the top of the city had been prepared for a long time, and immediately set up their shields to block the terrifying rain of arrows from the enemy.

But it can't be perfect. In this case, as long as there are some gaps, it is possible to hit the arrow.

Many soldiers were hit by arrows, and some died on the spot.

Zhang Yu and the others also started to fight back.

Under the command of the general, use arrows to counterattack violently.

Zhang Yu and the others have the convenience of a city wall, a long range, and they can also use shields to defend.

The Wuhuan people are highly maneuverable on horseback and can often avoid Zhang Yu's arrows.

The two sides attacked fiercely, and the arrows rained one after another, leaning towards each other.

There are tens of thousands of arrows at a time, and the consumption is astonishing.

"As soon as the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold, it's true."

A round of tens of thousands of arrows is worth tens of thousands of big money, and hundreds of thousands of big money cannot be destroyed in a day.

It's not easy for Zhang Yu to go out and loot.

The two sides fought fiercely, causing casualties to each other.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to counterattack, mainly to let the soldiers defend, and it would be a disadvantage if they tried to consume it. After all, Zhang Yu and the others only had so few troops.

And it takes time, Zhang Yu can't afford it.

The two sides fought, and Qiu Liju attacked at all costs.

On the first day, the Wuhuan people suffered more than 5,000 casualties, while Zhang Yu and his men also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Both sides consume a lot of arrows, some arrows can be built and reused, and many are directly scrapped.

The next day, Qiu Liju stepped up his attacks and never stopped from morning to night.

Zhang Yu's soldiers changed when they were tired, and they changed several waves.

In one day's battle, more than 8,000 people were killed or injured in Wuhuan, and nearly 4,000 were killed or injured by Zhang Yu and the others.

On the third day, Qiu Liju continued to fight, and the situation was similar to the previous day.

After three days of fierce attack, there was no sign of loosening on the top of the city.

Qiu Liju's face was gloomy.
