    Pushed by the soldiers, these wells slowly moved closer to the city wall. Once they approached the city wall, soldiers could continuously climb the ladders to the top of the city.  Some soldiers braved arrows and stepped across the flying bridge. Under the cover of the shield bearers, they began to destroy the suspension bridge and let the ram cars behind them move forward.  The ram car is covered with five layers of rawhide and has four wheels underneath. Not only can it quickly approach the city gate, but it can also block arrows. It is an important instrument that may be indispensable in siege warfare!  "Hurry up and fire the arrows!" Zhang Mancheng was frightened by the formation of the army at this time. So many siege equipment made him feel at a loss. It would be good if we have a few ladders to attack the city, but you are better off, again.  The ladder belongs to Jinglan, so we won¡¯t bring someone like this to bully others!  The archers could only risk their arrows and keep shooting downwards, but their accuracy was really lacking.  Soon, the soldiers who set up the flying bridge successfully filled the moat. A large number of officers and soldiers rushed up with the ladders. They rushed to the bottom of the city wall and worked together to erect the ladders. Then they climbed up the city wall with their swords in their teeth.  "Hurry up and throw rocks and logs!" Sun Xia also hid under the shield and shouted to the Yellow Turban soldiers while waving his sword.  In order to avoid accidental damage, the archers of the army could only shoot arrows at places where there were no ladders to climb the city, which made Liu Bei very helpless.  This is like the army of later generations being unable to coordinate infantry and artillery!  But you can't blame them, after all, these are not elites!  A large number of stones and rolling logs were thrown down by the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city, causing heavy casualties to the officers and soldiers underneath.  At this time, the archers on the well gate also entered the shooting range. They took out their bows and arrows and shot at the top of the city, trying their best to cover the officers and soldiers attacking the city below.  "Fire rockets!" Zhang Mancheng shouted to the archers as Jing Lan approached and began to show off his power.  Immediately, the archers at the top of the city lit arrows tied with oilcloth in the brazier at the top of the city, and then shot them towards the well.  "It's a pity that Jinglan's defense is not weaker than that of a charging car, and it is also covered with rawhide. The arrows cannot stand at all when they are shot at it. They are all bounced to the ground. The few rockets have little effect and cannot hit at all."  In fact, the best way to deal with Jinglan is to use crossbows or trebuchets, but the official army does not have either of these now, let alone these rebellious Yellow Turban soldiers.  In fact, you can also dispatch cavalry infantry to go out of the city to destroy these equipment, but the rebel army does not have large-scale cavalry, and the infantry is too good at it and dare not go out of the city.  I can only shoot rockets like it's tickling me.  Just facing danger, the Yellow Turban bandits' counterattack was also quite ferocious. The archers tried their best to shoot at the archers in Jinglan, trying to suppress the opponent. The halberdiers on the city top pushed the ladders outwards, trying to  Push the ladder away from the wall.  It's just that although these ladders are crude, at Liu Bei's suggestion, ropes were tied to the upper and middle sections near the city head, and there were officers and soldiers below who pulled hard. This made the Yellow Turban soldiers quite unhappy, and they couldn't push them at all.  ah!  Soon, the officers and soldiers with swords in their mouths crawled to the top of the city on their hands and feet, then jumped on the top of the city, brandished their swords and started fighting with the Yellow Turban soldiers.  However, he was soon stabbed to death by many yellow scarf soldiers with spears and fell to the bottom of the city.  "Uh!" The officers and soldiers who were knocked over the city screamed, and fell to the city, hitting several officers and soldiers below.  "Tum! Tum! Tum!" The car rushed across the suspension bridge, rushed to the door opening and began to violently hit the city gate. Every hit was a thousand pounds of gravity, making the city gate tremble and dust kept rising!  "Quick! Throw stones and kill them!" Zhao Hong, who was guarding the city gate, shouted to the yellow scarf soldiers beside him with red eyes.  It¡¯s just that the officers and soldiers hiding under the protection of rawhide were not afraid of the rolling stones thrown down from the city wall, and they still worked together to hit the city gate.  This was very painful for the yellow scarf soldiers inside the city gate who pressed their bodies against the city gate. They soon suffered internal injuries from the impact, vomited blood, and fell to the ground dead.  In desperation, the Yellow Turban soldiers could only transport a large amount of stones and soil and began to pile up and block the city gate.  "Hurry up and pour the kerosene!" Seeing that rolling stones and rolling wood had little effect, Zhao Hong could only order the soldiers to pour kerosene downwards, and then threw down the torches.  Since ancient times, fire and water have been merciless. A large amount of fire oil soaked the rawhide, and then began to burn violently. It soon ignited the bracket of the ram car, and finally completely burned the ram car. The officers and soldiers below could only stay away from the ram car and move towards it.  The ladder moves closer.  Seeing the power of kerosene, Zhang Mancheng also ordered the soldiers to pour kerosene on more than a dozen siege ladder trucks among them. These siege ladder trucks, like wells, have rollers underneath and can be easily pushed to the city wall. Then the soldiers  You can climb up the ladder to the top of the wall.  These ladder trucks can be used without the support of officers and soldiers, allowing the soldiers to rush to the top of the city faster. At this time, the fire also broke out and burned violently.    "Lord! The last general is calling for a fight!" Seeing that the siege was not going well, Dian Wei came to Liu Bei with a double halberd in hand to ask for a fight.  "This!" Liu Bei hesitated. If you say this is a battle in front of the battle, I can really trust you to go, but now it is a siege battle, arrows are flying everywhere, and stones are constantly falling. If you have three advantages and two disadvantages, you have to give in.  Where can I go to cry?  "If Dian Xiaowei is extraordinarily brave, he will be able to accomplish extraordinary feats!" Cao Cao said from the side.  "Cao Ah'an, I'm going to fuck you, second uncle. You really can't stand and talk without pain in your back. It's not that you don't feel bad for your own son, right? I just started earlier than you did! You are naked envy, jealousy and hatred!" Liu Bei said here  He cursed in his heart.  In fact, Liu Bei was really a bit of a villain at this time. The bravery of the few people under Liu Bei's account was obvious to everyone. At this time, Cao Cao just wanted to capture Wancheng as soon as possible to reduce casualties.  "Lord!" Dian Wei stepped forward and cupped his fists again.  "Forget it, Hong Fei must be careful!" In desperation, Liu Bei could only let Dian Wei go to fight. He couldn't be timid in front of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song.  "Nuo!" Dian Wei sang in a low voice, and ran towards the city wall with his two halberds in hand.  Halfway along the way, Dian Wei put his left halberd behind his back, picked up a large shield, held it in front of him and continued running towards the city wall.  "Fortunately, you're not stupid!" Liu Bei comforted himself when he saw Dian Wei holding the shield in front of him.  I saw Na Dianwei running to the bottom of the ladder in two or two steps, putting the big shield on top of his head, and started to climb up the ladder.  However, Han Zhong, who was standing on the top of the city, noticed it before Dian Wei approached. His intuition told Han Zhong that he was a dangerous person at this time, so he lit the ladder with kerosene before Dian Wei could reach the top of the city.  "I'll go!" Dian Wei saw that it was not good, muttered Liu Bei's catchphrase and jumped down.  As if he was against Dian Wei, Han Zhong would click on the ladder wherever Dian Wei went, but would not let Dian Wei get up.  "You NND!" Dian Wei angrily yelled at the city, and was even beaten with stones and rolling trees.  In desperation, Dian Wei could only run to the well. At this time, the well had pushed across the moat and the wooden bridge to the city had been lowered. Many officers and soldiers were carrying shields and walking along the suspension bridge to the city wall.  "Throw it!" A loud shout was heard, and more than a dozen jars fell onto the wooden bridge of the well. "Bang! Bang! Bang!!" There was a continuous sound, and the jars broke and leaked black kerosene.  "No, shoot the arrow quickly! The thieves are going to set fire!" The officers and soldiers on the well guard shouted when they saw the kerosene.  The archers on the well fence quickly bent their bows and shot at the yellow scarf soldiers holding torches to prevent them from setting fire.  Three rounds of arrows in a row turned the yellow scarf soldiers who tried to set fire into hedgehogs, temporarily saving the wooden bridge.  But the good times didn¡¯t last long. Before several officers and soldiers could rush forward, a rocket was shot over and ignited the kerosene, causing the wooden bridge to burn.  "Dian Xiaowei, hurry up and cut down the wooden bridge!" In desperation, an archer captain shouted to Dian Wei who was trying to cross the wooden bridge.  If the wooden bridge is not cut down, the fire will burn along the wooden bridge to the well, and then the well will be completely destroyed. If the wooden bridge is cut off, it can at least be used as an archery tower.  "He NND!" Dian Wei followed his gaze and saw Han Zhongchuo holding a bow in his hand. He was the one who set off the rocket just now.  "I remember you!" Dian Wei pointed the iron halberd at Han Zhong and shouted loudly.  Having no other choice, Dian Wei could only use his iron halberd to cut off the burning wooden bridge, temporarily saving the well.  "Lord! I can't go up! There is a guy at the top of the city who is always against me!" Dian Wei, who couldn't get up the city wall, could only come back and said to Liu Bei angrily.  "Brother Huang, you can step forward and try to shoot that thief general!" Liu Bei planned to let Huang Zhong shoot Han Zhong directly.  "My lord, wait a minute! Can you keep him? I want to kill him with my own hands!" Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.  Damn it, if I can¡¯t kill this beast with my own hands, it¡¯s hard to understand the hatred in my heart!  "Okay then!" In fact, Liu Bei had already seen Han Zhong's cunning. He spent most of his time hiding under the protection of several shield men and rarely showed his head.  The reason why Huang Zhong was allowed to try was to resolve Dian Wei's resentment.  The beacon fire at the top of the city was still going on, and the wells could not transport troops up to the city at all. Whenever they fell off the wooden bridge, they would be set on fire by the Yellow Turban thieves with kerosene. They could only be used as an archery tower to cover the officers and soldiers who climbed the ladder.  "I didn't expect Zhang Mancheng to have accumulated a lot of supplies!" Zhu Jun said lightly as he watched the siege equipment being burned.  "This bandit has occupied Wancheng for nearly more than a month. The Yellow Turban bandits are so powerful that it is not surprising that they have accumulated this little property!" Huangfu Song replied.  "Two generals, do you want to continue the siege?" Liu Bei stepped forward and asked.    "Today is just a test. At this time, you can withdraw your troops at the expense of gold!" Seeing that the siege equipment was burned and there were no officers and soldiers of his own on the city wall, Zhu Jun could only order the withdrawal of troops at the expense of gold.  "Dang! Dang! Dang!" The urgent and crisp golden bell was rung, and the officers and soldiers who heard the bell began to retreat backwards, and their advance and retreat were orderly, without any confusion.  The swordsman and shieldman rushed to the well, blocked the arrows for the archers above, and slowly retreated while protecting the archers.  "Oh! We won, the officers and soldiers retreated!" The remaining Yellow Turban bandits shouted loudly, holding their weapons high one by one, cheering heartily.  "Mengde, order the soldiers to dig deep trenches around Wancheng. I will trap them to death!" Huangfu Song said to Cao Cao next to him after the officers and soldiers withdrew.  It seems that Huangfu Song is going to follow the old path of history again and besiege the Yellow Turban bandits!  "No!" Cao Cao responded respectfully.
