Chapter 156

After yesterday's battle, the Han army units still had nearly seventy or eighty thousand troops left.

After gathering, more than a dozen siege engines were ready, and the main force was holding the Han army's big flag.

Not only that, Ju Shou also let Liu, Guan, and Zhang be the vanguard for this siege.

Originally, Ju Shou suggested that Su Li lead the Red Blood Cavalry to serve as this vanguard, but it was decisively rejected by Su Li.

Just kidding, although serving as a vanguard has a chance to gain a lot of military merit, it would become a target for everyone.

If it were before, Su Li might have risked doing such a thing.

But now.

Forget it.

An existence like Zhang Bao is too scary.

What if he set a trap similar to the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Art in Julu City?

Then...

Scared, scared.

It's better to let Liu Bei, who is forced to make merit, lead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to take the lead.

He can take Zhao Yu and the Red Blood Cavalry to watch and act accordingly from behind; isn't that wonderful!

Returning to the battlefield, the city wall of Julu City, which is over twenty meters high, allows the Yellow Turbans to have a commanding view and an excellent geographical defensive advantage.

30 In the Han army, Liu, Guan, and Zhang led the vanguard troops drawn from Pan Feng and Changshan Governor Deng Song's subordinates, lined up in front of the formation.

Archers were on the flanks, responsible for support shooting.

As for Su Li, after refusing to serve as the vanguard, Ju Shou didn't arrange any other tasks for him and the Red Blood Cavalry; perhaps he wanted to use him as a trump card.

Su Li was naturally happy and free; without tasks, he could be more flexible in watching and acting accordingly.

"Start the attack!"

With a single order.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Just see in the conspicuous place, dozens of soldiers in the army were beating war drums, the drum sound shaking the sky and the earth, all the soldiers began to boil with blood, and the world was instantly filled with a murderous atmosphere!

Attack Julu City!

Officially started!

First, a unit of ten thousand people formed a siege formation, and various large siege engines were pushed by the soldiers of the equipment unit.

Among them, the most eye-catching was the siege tower that was more than ten meters high, almost as high as Julu City.

This is a siege engine with a tall tower body that can carry people, equipped with rollers under the tower, equivalent to a mobile arrow tower.

Perhaps this is really not the Eastern Han dynasty in history; this product, which would only be born in later ages, actually appeared in this siege battle.

And in the position at the top of the siege tower where troops can be placed, stood the most elite archer unit among the Jizhou soldiers brought by Pan Feng.

This group of archers had solemn expressions; their goal was to suppress the Yellow Turban archers on the Julu City wall.

To create conditions for the infantry below to move the siege tower, gradually approach the moat of Julu City, lower the drawbridge prepared on the siege tower, and allow other troops to transport other siege engines, approaching the city gate or city wall of Julu City one after another.

Just this siege tower, which was nearly half the height of Julu City, was enough to make the Yellow Turbans defending the city wall feel terrified.

After all, the Yellow Turban army was just a force composed of ordinary people or bandits. Where had they seen such large siege engines before? Now seeing it for the first time, they naturally felt full of pressure.

Lu Zhi, as the premier famous general of the Han dynasty during this period, was not just talking for fun.

As soon as he arrived in Jizhou, he let the governors of various commanderies carefully prepare these siege engines.

The purpose was for this plan of a surprise attack on Julu, so that when they attacked Julu City, they would not give the Yellow Turban army any chance to breathe.

Several towering siege towers, under the cover of archers on the tower and pushed by elite infantry at the base of the tower, with huge wooden rollers turning, slowly approached the moat of Julu City.

Liu Bei and the other two, as the vanguard, were also leading the vanguard troops, ready at all times. As long as the Yellow Turbans in Julu City dared to open the city gate to destroy the siege tower, they would dare to rush over and seize control of the city gate at the first opportunity.

Ju Shou, as the military advisor, stood on a specially made tower car.

This kind of tower car is equivalent to half a siege tower, ten meters high, with iron plates on the outside. In addition to effectively protecting the main generals, it can also observe the movements of the entire battlefield well.

And it was specially equipped with scouts around it; if there was any movement, it could be fed back to Ju Shou in time.

Now that the attack on Julu City had just begun and it hadn't reached the real climax, Su Li, in order to better watch and act accordingly, didn't go into battle, but just followed Ju Shou.

In addition to protecting Ju Shou's safety, he could also build a relationship with Ju Shou.

Even if he couldn't poach the Jizhou Governor's wall, if he built a good relationship with Ju Shou, maybe there would be times when he needed Ju Shou's help in the future.

At this moment.

Ju Shou also stood on the tower car, observing the surroundings.

The tens of thousands of Han army elites in the front formation were led by Pan Feng and Changshan Governor Deng Song respectively, lined up in neat formations, each formation separated by almost the same distance, forming one tight square formation after another.

These square formations were so detailed that each siege tower was tightly surrounded, forming the greatest degree of protection.

It even radiated some kind of mysterious formation, bringing bonus effects to every troop unit in the formation.

This method of arranging troops was definitely not something that the simpleton Pan Feng or the little-known Changshan Governor Deng Song possessed.

At a glance, it was Ju Shou's handiwork.

This made Su Li have to secretly admire the ability of a top-tier 810 strategist like Ju Shou in his heart again.

Not only can he break the enemy's sorcery and use powerful military advisor skills, but he can also arrange troops and maximize the combat power of the units under his command.

He is simply an all-around talent, except for his martial arts value.

If he could kidnap such a strategist home, how good would that be?

Su Li couldn't help but have some evil thoughts in his heart.

How about, after this battle, forcibly kidnap Ju Shou back to White Cloud Town?

Once Ju Shou resists, throw him directly into the martial prison and let him play with Guan Hai?

Experience the feeling of a strong man locking a man.

I guess no matter how loyal Ju Shou is, he wouldn't dare to resist anymore...

Thinking about it is still very exciting.

It's a pity, it can only be thought about.

Once such a thing is done, even if Ju Shou is made to submit, it is a fake submission.

At that time, such a top-tier strategist would secretly plot against him, and he still wouldn't be able to bear it.
