Chapter 157
"Lord Su, do you think we have a chance of winning this siege battle?"
Ju Shou, while observing the battle situation, suddenly asked Su Li out of the blue.
"With you, Military Advisor Ju, it's naturally not a problem."
Su Li slightly flattered Ju Shou.
"Lord Su is joking, I don't think it will be that easy..."
Ju Shou's tone showed a bit of worry, "Zhang Bao's ability is even more powerful than I imagined. Just the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Art laid down a few days ago almost wiped us out."
"If it weren't for you, Lord Su, turning the tide! We might not have been able to reach Julu City."
"Now even if we set up a formation to attack Julu, I have a worry that Zhang Bao will use even more terrifying sorcery later."
"At that time, I don't know if we can still resist."
Ju Shou's worry is not unreasonable.
They haven't even seen Zhang Bao's face yet, and they were almost wiped out, if not for Su Li leading his troops to display divine might yesterday.
But Su Li himself also knew clearly that the reason he was able to turn the tide yesterday was all because of the existence of that mysterious person, which made him, Zhao Yu, and the Red Blood Cavalry unaffected by the Star Constellation Earthly Fiend Art.
If there was no mysterious person, they would also have reduced stamina and fallen into a weakened state, leading to the total collapse of the entire Han army camp.
In other words, the reason they won yesterday was not because Su Li and the Red Blood Cavalry were so powerful, but mainly because of the existence of that mysterious person.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But if they encountered the same situation as yesterday later, would the mysterious person appear to help again?
This is an unknown.
It is precisely because of this unknown that the ending of this attack on Julu City has become confusing.
Even Su Li didn't have full confidence that he could achieve final victory.
However, for some reason, he had a feeling in his heart.
Even if they encountered difficulties again, the mysterious person might still help.
Not for anything else, just for the sentence the mysterious person said before leaving.
When they break through Julu City, he will tell him the things he needs help with.
It was precisely because of this feeling that Su Li's expression became firm, and he smiled at Ju Shou: "Military Advisor Ju, don't worry too much. Since ancient times, evil has not triumphed over good. Although the Yellow Turbans hold the banner of uprising, they are ultimately a group of thieves. I don't know how many people they have looted and how many villages they have slaughtered in secret."
"I believe that we, representing the common people of the world, will definitely be able to suppress the Yellow Turbans."
"What a 'representing the common people of the world'!"
Ju Shou was also inspired after hearing Su Li say this: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words, Lord Su!"
Subsequently, Ju Shou's gaze fell on Julu City in front, "Let all units start the attack, prepare the catapult array, as long as the siege tower approaches the moat, throw stones immediately to cover the siege tower array to lower the drawbridge, then other siege engines press up, we must take Julu City today!"
With a single order, the flag soldiers around the tower car waved their flags to convey orders to the various square formations in the distance.
This is the advantage brought by a military advisor arranging troops.
Once an instruction is issued from the center, it can be transmitted to the various units in the front most quickly and directly.
Then the various square formations began to follow the instructions, attacking or defending in an orderly manner.
Being able to achieve this level is enough to show that Ju Shou's command value is not low.
It is simply what is called planning strategies in the tent and deciding victory thousands of miles away.
And under Ju Shou's instruction, the catapult arrays in the rear also began to load stones. Their task was to assist the elite archers on the siege tower to jointly suppress the enemy Yellow Turban firepower on the Julu City wall.
At this time.
The siege tower formation and the front formation troops were also slowly approaching Julu City.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
Not long after, the charging sound of the front formation troops roared, shaking the sky and the earth, carrying the bonus of the square formation commanded by Ju Shou, and fiercely attacked Julu City!
Several towering siege towers, several powerful catapults, ramming vehicles, and tens of thousands of front formation troops were put into battle, starting a fierce attack on the city wall directly in front of Julu City.
At the same time.
In the direction of other city walls of Julu City, Ju Shou also organized a group of elite troops with ladder vehicles to make a feint attack.
All of a sudden.
War broke out around Julu City.
On the other side, the Yellow Turbans on the Julu City wall had long been prepared, and various defensive equipment had been loaded, including siege crossbows, wolf-tooth beaters, and large catapults.
And there were also Yellow Turban archer units standing on the city wall, like a honeycomb, dense and numerous.
And it is worth mentioning.
Standing on the city tower, the one responsible for commanding was not Zhang Bao, the Earth Duke General, one of the three giants of the Yellow Turbans. Even looking at the entire Julu City wall or city tower, there was no trace of Zhang Bao.
The general responsible for commanding was Huang Shao and Gao Sheng, who had fled back yesterday.
It was still Huang Shao as the main general and Gao Sheng as the deputy general.
They were also arranging troops, pushing the only two catapults in Julu City to a conspicuous place to suppress the Han army's siege engines, and divided the Yellow Turban archer units into two teams, placing them next to the two catapults respectively. Huang Shao raised a hand.
"Catapults, prepare!"
The Han army was still approaching.
