Chapter 58 Bloody Battle in You County
In You County, the rapid sound of drums rang from early morning to noon, and Taishici's army also attacked from early morning to noon. The sound of drums on the tragic battlefield shook the sky, roared, screamed, and the collision of weapons mixed with the sound of bows and arrows to form a bloody city.
Tai Shici's army has changed more than 20 batches from early morning to noon, and the soldiers defending the city have also changed three or four times. The two sides fought around the city wall, which is no different from yesterday. Every time Tai Shici's army attacks the city wall, it will be repelled by Huo Jun, and then hit the city wall and then be retreated. It lasts for a long time.
Unlike yesterday, today's battle was more cruel and suffered more casualties, and the attack of Taishici's army was also more fierce. Several times, Huo Jun was almost defeated by the other side, and the wall was almost occupied by the other side. Fortunately, Huo Jun was fully prepared to regain control of the wall. But even such a whole morning's battle has led to a rapid increase in the number of casualties of the army in the city.
The Taishi Ci army is like an endless attack of tireless robots. One group retreated and the other group followed. There was no time gap in the middle, and the soldiers on the tower had to deal with this uninterrupted attack, because they did not know which time they would lose the city wall and lose their lives by the sudden attack of Taishici's army.
Tai Shici and Han Dang Ce stood under the city, staring at the battlefield. The orders were issued from his mouth one by one, and then the battlefield was issued through the messengers. The transmission of each order meant another change in the war situation. Huo Jun also had to make changes according to the changes in Tai Shici's army. He knew that he was not Tai Shici's right. Hand, but he gave the order without hesitation. These orders made the soldiers defending the city quickly change their defense. Although they could not contain the offensive of the Taishici army at one time, they also slowed down the attack of the Taishici army, and then another order was conveyed the attack of the Taishici army into invisible.
Tai Shici looked at Huo Jun's eyes full of blood in the city with a trace of appreciation. This was the first time he had seen a general who could resist his attack for such a long time, and Jiang Dong, a general who could resist his attack, could resist his attack no more than five fingers. Unexpectedly, there was one in this small You County.
Tai Shi Ci frowned and looked at a trace of pity in Huo Jun's eyes. He was sorry for Huo Jun. In the morning, he had expressed his love for talent more than once, hoping that Huo Jun could surrender. However, this general, who was only a small county in Jingzhou who didn't even know his name, actually refused his kindness. He couldn't understand why Huo Jun was so loyal to Liu Biao, who would not reuse him at all.
"It's a pity." Tai Shici sighed softly, and the pity was quickly replaced. Since you can't use it for my Lord, you have to destroy it.
"Attack the city!" Taishici did not hesitate to order that three wells more than ten meters high not far behind Taishici rumbled towards the wall of You County, and all the soldiers who attacked the city along the way avoided it.

Huo Jun looked at the waves of soldiers attacking the city, but his heart was calmer. The shouts and roars did not affect him. He just gave fast and short orders one by one. Sometimes he waved a knife to cut down the enemy troops who rushed in front of him, and the plasma cracked and the blood overflowed.
Looking at the towering Taishici flag under the city, Huo Jun took a deep breath. Even he himself did not think that he could resist the attack of the Taishi Ci army for such a long time. At first, he was indeed beaten and overwhelmed, which was completely different from yesterday. It should have appeared in the hands of two people, but it appeared on Tai Shici at the same time.
The rapid and fierce attack upset his heart, but when he quickly gave the order to slow down the attack of Tai Shici's army, he was relieved. He knew how far away it was from me, a general who had experienced a lot of battles, but he was not afraid, only a high-spirited fighting spirit, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and even his blood was about to boil.
The battle in the morning benefited him a lot. It's really the best training ground on the battlefield. Huo Jun's eyes flashed. This morning, he was honing himself and honing his subordinates at the same time. These ordinary soldiers, but now they are different, and the fighting spirit in his eyes can't be trained even in harsh training. He trained Tai Shici as a knife sharpener.
His own progress did not make Huo Jun happy, but his heart became heavier and heavier. His eyes were always fixed on the three manholes behind the battlefield. The ten-high wells were two meters higher than the wall of You County. Standing on the wells, they could overlook the wall. The soldiers in the city were completely exposed to the attack of the wells.
Like his guess, Taishici's army did bring siege equipment. Every morning when he repelled the attack of Taishici's army, he couldn't help but look at Jinglan and guessed when Taishici would use this siege weapon.
Suddenly, the well moved. The well, which is more than ten meters tall, is a huge thing on the battlefield. It is slowly marching with a rumbling sound, which makes people look up.
Looking at the well and Huo Jun, who was slowly approaching the city wall, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then he was replaced by the high-spirited fighting spirit. He smelled the bloody spirit of war in his eyes flashing with the wind.
The well is slowly approaching the city wall, revealing the inside of the well. There are three layers in this well, and there are a large number of archers standing on each floor, some holding bows and some holding military crossbows. The huge well was filled with these dense soldiers. The bows and arrows were facing the city wall of You County, and the bows were full of strings. A two-meter-long military crossbow was lifted by three soldiers. The crossbow has been placed and is waiting to be shot at any time.
Liu Pan, the county magistrate of You County, sat in the main seat and closed his eyes to wait for the news in the city. Ma Liang and Su Fei sat aside and looked out of the door from time to time. The silence above the hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard. The sound of the drums outside the city has lasted all morning, and the three of them have been waiting here all morning. Although they sit quietly, their hearts can't calm down.
"Drip..." The rapid footsteps made the three people in the hall stand up. A sergeant ran in and said, "The enemy has used... wells." The violent gasp made his words intermittent. But stopping in the ears of the three people is like a rolling thunder.
A trace of determination flashed in Liu Pan's eyes and said to Su Fei, "General Su, it's your turn."
Su Fei said with a solemn face, "General, don't worry, this well will be destroyed." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall and went to the front yard. Soon, Su Fei came to the front yard. Eight hundred soldiers in armor were waiting quietly. These soldiers were wrapped in thick armor, and even their faces were covered with thick armor, revealing only a pair of eyes. This pair of eyes were also decisive. They have the determination to die.
"Let's go." At Su Fei's order, 800 people followed Su Fei to the city wall, and went home heavily and hit the ground with a thumping sound.
In the hall, Liu Pan looked at Su Fei leaving and said to Ma Liang, "Let's go, let's go and see what the power of this well is." After saying that, Ma Liang followed closely.
..................
Ten miles away from You County, Xu Shu's army quickly marched towards You County. They have abandoned all the weights, leaving only their armor and weapons and a small amount of food, which was escorted by more than a thousand soldiers. The army was moving forward at full speed.
The spy riding a fast horse reported the situation of You County to Xu Shu at any time. Xu Shu also knew the situation of You County and urged the army to move forward over and over again. He secretly prayed that the generals of You County could persist until the army arrived.
"Report to the military division, the Jiangdong army has used the well." The fast horse spies came to Xu Shu and said.
"I know." Xu Shu said in a flat voice. No one saw the anxiety in his eyes.
"Order the army to discard the armor and carry only weapons, and move forward at full speed." Xu Shu gave the order.
In a short time, the orders were conveyed, and the soldiers took off their heavy armor one by one, and the speed suddenly increased.
