    Looking at the majestic Yecheng, Liu Ke sighed.  The siege troops he sent did not achieve results.

    Nearly two hours have passed, and the city wall has not even been climbed.

    One of the reasons is that there are a large number of crossbows in the city.

    Although Jizhou's crossbows are not as good as Yangzhou's, they still outnumber Yangzhou's crossbowmen by relying on the city wall.

    Liu Ke never thought of sending out ladder troops. However, amid the intensive shooting, it was impossible to get close to the city wall.

    Yuan Shao ran Ye City like an iron barrel. Even if he lost his troops and generals, there were still 200,000 troops in the city.

    There were densely packed archers standing on the city wall, which was extremely scary.

    "According to this progress, I'm afraid it will take half a month to consume the crossbow arrows in the city." Zhuge Liang said.

    How many people were killed by the Yangzhou Army in half a month?

    It is definitely not something Liu Ke can accept.

    As a frontline commander, Zhao Yun deceived the defenders into a few waves of arrows, and they learned their lesson.

    The Yangzhou army did not get closer than fifty steps to the city wall and resolutely refused to fire arrows.

    The battle situation was at a stalemate.

    "To attack such a strong city, I'm afraid we need to dig tunnels." Guo Jiadao.

    Everyone looked at the siege while looking for flaws.

    It¡¯s a pity that there is nothing to use.

    "Digging tunnels cannot transport too many troops. In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of people sneak into the city and nothing can be done." Liu Kedao.

    ¡°Moreover, how could Yuan Shao not be prepared for this.

    Therefore, Liu Ke made a strategic policy to eliminate the foreign cavalry and surround Yecheng.

    Without the help of the foreign cavalry, Yecheng will become a truly isolated city.

    Since ancient times, isolated cities have been relatively easy to capture.

    "My lord, the good news has arrived!" Pang Tong reported anxiously.

    It turns out that the alien cavalry, who could not retreat, was dispatched.

    Hundreds of thousands of cavalry are running wildly together, rushing towards this side, shaking the earth and the earth.

    "Okay, put up the antlers and form a formation of vehicles." Liu Kedao.

    For the cavalry assault, the Yangzhou Army had several ways to deal with it.

    One of them is the heavily armored spearmen. If the light cavalry dares to come, they will never come back.

    The second type is the ballista vehicle array. The vehicles transport baggage in normal times. In wartime, as long as they are arranged properly, they can form a solid city wall, not to mention that there are ballistas on it for counterattack.

    As for the antler trench, it is the most primitive method.

    What Liu Ke wants to do is not to fight to the death with the foreign cavalry, but to drive them to the designated depression.

    The antlers trench is a fixed position to resist the Wuhuan cavalry from the front, while the chariot formation is to prevent the Wuhuan cavalry from making detours.

    As for the heavily armored spearmen, they are responsible for "guiding" the Wuhuan cavalry.  The Yangzhou cavalry cut off the Wuhuan cavalry's retreat.

    Liu Ke has arranged everything and is waiting for the Wuhuan cavalry to come on stage.

    Tadun did not disappoint.

    Blowing the loudest horn, they launched a death charge towards the Yangzhou Army¡¯s position.

    "Revenge for old Chanyu!"

    Just a simple slogan made the Wuhuan cavalry crazy and fearless of death.

    In order to lure Tadun to attack, Liu Ke only brought 200,000 troops to attack the city.

    "After all, you can't call in an army of 600,000 for everything. Wouldn't it be exhausting and Liu Ke would be difficult to command?"

    Because of this, Tadun had the courage.  Otherwise, with his small force, he would never dare to attack the army formation of 600,000 people.

    The antler trench, paired with archers, taught Tadun a real lesson.

    The momentum just started and then stopped abruptly.

    Subsequently, the heavy armored pikemen phalanx on the flanks moved and moved closer to the Wuhuan cavalry.

    Tai Shici also led the cavalry and cut off the Wuhuan cavalry's retreat.

    "No, it's a trap!"

    Tadun's face turned pale in an instant, and he made a hasty decision to move closer to Yecheng and regroup.

    "Why is Wuhuan here?" Yuan Shao asked in surprise.

    It is true that Wuhuan is warlike, but he will never stand up for Yecheng, right?

    Before he shouted, he ran over in a hurry.

    Before Yuan Shao could be moved, Guo Tu shouted: "It's not good, the Marquis of Dongyang may flood Wuhuan!"

    "What!" Yuan Shao simply saidI dare not believe my ears, but after seeing the situation below the city, I would be a fool not to understand.

    "Come here, go and notify Wuhuan!" Yuan Shao said.

    However, Yuan Shao¡¯s warning was already too late.

    When Wuhuan retreated to the depression below Yecheng and began to regroup, Liu Ke lit the smoke.

    This is the signal to dig the embankment.

    The Yangzhou army retreated like a tide.

    This scene made me stunned.

    "Haha! Although Dongyang Hou was on guard, he knew he was no match for our army, so he ran away directly!" Tadun laughed.

    After all, this is something to boost morale, so Tadun did it smoothly.

    Who told Liu Ke to retreat?

    "Chan Yu is mighty!" A group of younger brothers praised him.

    "Should we pursue him?" Nanlou asked weakly.

    "We still have Yangzhou cavalry behind us, so it would be unwise to pursue them at this moment." Tadun said.

    After a while, Tadun seemed to hear a roar and was startled.

    Is it a cavalry assault?

    However, Tadun quickly dismissed this speculation, because the sound of horse hooves was not like this.

    "Chanyu, look!" One of the guards pointed at the torrent of water.

    Tadun was immediately confused. There were rivers in the grassland, but had there ever been such a big flood?

    It¡¯s overwhelming.

    "Run quickly!"

    Tadun shouted heartbreakingly, and at the same time, he galloped on his horse.

    The Wuhuan cavalry were in chaos.

    The frightened faces froze in an instant, and were dragged into the whirlpool by the roaring flood.  Tadun, who was running at the front, felt nervous. The rushing water was splashing in the depression, which made him dizzy and made him feel even more worried and afraid.

    terrible!

    Suddenly, dozens of rows of antlers appeared in front of them. This was an obstacle that Taishi Ci had arranged in advance after he left.

    Tadun gritted his teeth and relied on his superb riding skills to gallop and jump.

    As for the others, Tadun had no intention of caring about them.

    Fortunately, after the flood entered the depression, it flowed along the gully dug by the Yangzhou Army, and its momentum gradually slowed down.

    Wuhuan used this short gap to escape.

    However, Tadun still lost half of his troops.

    After arriving at the safe zone, Tadun looked at the surging flood and remained silent.

    "Chanyu, help me!"

    Many people were still shouting and struggling in the water.

    Just as Tadun was about to rescue him, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

    It was the Yangzhou cavalry who had launched the charge to avoid the flood.

    "Retreat!" Tadun said decisively. Now that their morale is low, they are no match for the Yangzhou Cavalry.

    Taishi Ci took advantage of the situation and drove the Wuhuan cavalry into the water.

    ¡°Catch Tadun alive!¡±

    The Yangzhou Cavalry shouted slogans.

    Tadun ran like a frightened bird. In the end, only 50,000 people escaped.

    However, Taishi Ci refused to give up and continued to pursue, without giving Tadun any chance to breathe.

    Tadun did not dare to return to the military camp and ran straight out of Wei County.

    Tai Shici chased him out of Wei County.

    Tadun ran out of Jizhou.

    Taishi Ci chased him out of Jizhou.

    Tadun fled to Youzhou Youbeiping County, but Taishi Ci expelled him from Youbeiping.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
