The two armies have reached a tacit understanding. Liu Bei's remnant army and Cao Cao are specially responsible for the siege of the new army. Cao Ren's elite infantry is responsible for attacking the city. If the defenders abandon the city or Lu Bu's army comes to rescue, Liu Bei will be responsible for the siege.
Leading Guan Yu, Zhang Fei led his army to attack.
Cao Ren slowly raised his right arm, waved it forward slightly, and said in a solemn voice: "Trebuchet~~~attack!"
In an instant, the deep and distant horn sound suddenly became louder, and the fierce war drum sound resounded through the sky, almost shattering the eardrums of the soldiers of the three armies. Amidst the rhythmic sound of the trumpet, a section of the wooden tower jumped from Cao Jun's army.
The rear formations were erected, and suddenly they were lined up in a row and stood as tall as a building.
"Let it go!" the principal shouted loudly.
At the command, more than a dozen trebuchets swung their long arms at the same time, violently throwing out boulders the size of millstones. With a sharp whistling sound, more than a dozen boulders rolled across the sky, carrying
With a momentum that crushed everything, it fell viciously towards the top of Xiaopei City.
"Wha~~!"
A huge boulder flew directly over the city wall and hit Xiaopei City, creating a huge deep hole in the flat ground. Fortunately, it was just a stray bullet and there were no casualties. Only one was killed.
puppy.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
Three huge stones hit the city wall one after another. In an instant, two large dents were made on the city wall. One of the huge stones smashed a section of the battlement into pieces, and rubble and mud splashed down from the top of the city.
.
Beside the smashed battlements, a defender's face was pale and his eyes were dull. Apparently, he hadn't understood what happened just now. The next moment, a bigger boulder roared over, and the edge of the boulder could barely pass over the defender's head.
department.
"Pfft~~"
The defender's head was smashed open like a watermelon, and the boulder was so powerful that it passed over the defender's surviving body and crashed onto the tower. At this moment, the entire tower trembled, and several defenders were caught off guard.
He fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"boom!"
When the last boulder fell viciously from the air, the city wall that Xiaopei City had barely built and hadn't had time to solidify finally collapsed. The three defenders on the city tower couldn't escape in time. They fell from the city tower wailing and fell to the ground.
After entering the ditch, he was immediately pierced through the body by the sharp antlers that filled the ditch.
Cao Jun's trebuchets raged for more than half an hour. The walls of Xiaopei City were smashed into holes and devastated. However, the damage caused to the defenders was extremely limited. After all, it was not a regular advance.
"Oh oh oh~~"
Outside the city of Xiaopei, the soldiers of Cao's army cheered loudly, and they were full of momentum. On the other hand, at the top of the city of Xiaopei, except for the 800 veterans from Gao Shun's camp, the rest of the soldiers were frightened and their morale was extremely low. No matter Xuzhou surrendered,
Liu Bei's old troops, the recently recruited refugees, and the Danyang soldiers have never experienced such a brutal battle, let alone such a terrifying siege weapon. It is reasonable to be timid!
Gao Shun turned his head and nodded to Zhang Fan, Zhang Liao's brother next to him, who was now Zhang Liao's personal soldier commander. Zhang Fan immediately understood and winked at a personal guard next to him. The guard immediately understood and jumped in Huo Di.
He went up to the battlements, waved the shield in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Cao Jun's methods are nothing more than this, aw aw aw!!!!"
"Ouch~~"
The eight hundred veterans trapped in the camp roared, and the overwhelming roar attracted the attention of other defenders on the tower. They all looked sideways. The guards became more energetic, taking off their armor and shirt, revealing their two bodies.
The dark-skinned buttocks were swung back and forth towards Cao Jun outside the city, trying his best to tease him.
The guard shook his bare buttocks while pretending to have an expression of fear on his face, and muttered something in his mouth: "Ouch! I'm so scared! My buttocks are all black with fear, huh~~!!!"
"Hahaha~~"
At this time, not only the eight hundred veterans who were trapped in the camp started laughing more and more, but all the defenders on the tower who heard the guard's voice started laughing. The tension and depressive atmosphere before the battle were suddenly swept away.
And empty.
Outside Xiaopei City.
A trace of solemnity passed leisurely in Man Chong's eyes, and he said to Yu Jin beside him: "The generals of the defenders in the city are not simple. Our army's trebuchets just now have clearly severely weakened the morale of the defenders, but now the defenders'
Not only has morale returned to what it was before, but it’s even better than before!”
"Yes." Yu Jin nodded and said in a deep voice: "However, our army has never expected to destroy the defenders with only trebuchets. The battle has just begun, and the fun is yet to come. Don't you think Mr. Manchong?
"
Cao Ren, the vanguard of Cao's army, was already livid with anger and said sternly: "Where are Wei Kai, Hou Yin, Ying Yu, Dong Ligan, Xue Hong, and Miao Shang?"
Wei Kai, Hou Yin, Ying Yu, Dong Ligan, Xue Hong, and Miao Shang rode forward, clasped their fists and said loudly: "The general is here!"
Cao Rendao: "Order the six of you to lead the front army to attack the city!"
"Follow the order!" Wei Kai, Hou Yin, Ying Yu, Dong Ligan, Xue Hong, and Miao Shang clasped their fists and responded to the order.
"Forward army~~attack~~!" The six generals Wei Kai, Hou Yin, Ying Yu, Dongligun, Xue Hong, and Miao Shang raised their weapons together and led them forward. Five thousand elite infantrymen responded with a roar.
The neatly arranged military formation surged towards Xiaopei City.
Xiaopei City Head.
"Are we finally going to capture the city? Next, the battle will really begin!" Gao Shun looked calm, drew out his saber, raised it high above his head, and shouted loudly: "Archers, prepare!"
Amidst the rapid footsteps, eight hundred veterans and one thousand recruits, holding long bows, swarmed behind the parapet. At this time, the veterans and recruits could be clearly distinguished. The eight hundred veterans looked indifferent, facing the tower.
The enemy troops that swept in like a tidal wave looked calm and motionless, but the thousands of new soldiers had frightened expressions on their eyes, and even the left hand holding the bow was trembling slightly.
However, Gao Shun is not worried at all, because it will not take long for these recruits to grow up quickly in the brutal killing and become qualified veterans. Of course, many of these recruits will die in battle, and the cost of growth is very high.
Tragic, but this is war, a real war!
"Kill~~!!!"
Amid the shouts of landslides and tsunamis, five thousand Cao Jun infantry arranged in an orderly formation and surged forward. One thousand heavy armored infantry ran at the front. They were death squads. Their only function was to form a wall and withstand
The defenders were attacked with bows and arrows, rolling stones, wood, etc., and even kerosene!
Three thousand light infantrymen of Cao's army carried ladders on their shoulders and followed the heavy armored infantry with shields. They were the main force in capturing the city, and the last one was a thousand archers who were responsible for covering and suppressing the enemy's defensive rhythm at the top of the city.
Upstairs in Xiaopei City.
"General!" Zhang Fan suddenly turned around and said to Gao Shun: "The enemy's heavy armored infantry has entered within a hundred steps."
Gao Shun raised his right arm high, as if he was petrified, motionless. The eyes of nearly two thousand archers were also fixed on the saber in Gao Shun's hand. They would never dare to drop the saber in Gao Shun's hand. If you are good at firing an arrow, you can only let Cao Jun's heavy armored infantry rush like a tide to within a hundred steps.
"General, the enemy's light infantry has rushed within a hundred steps!"
"General, the enemy's heavy armored infantry has rushed to the trench!"
"General Gao, the enemy's archers have already entered within a hundred steps!"
"Haha! This is the moment I, Gao Shun, have been waiting for!" A hint of cold murderous intent slowly emerged from the corner of Gao Shun's mouth. He held Di Pei Dao high and waved it forward vigorously. Gao Shun shouted softly: "Fire the arrow for me~~!!"
