Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shujun who was preparing to work outside the city, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The results of the battle in Jiujiang County have not yet been achieved. Although Xi Zhicai has led the army towards Dan Tu, it will take at least five or six days to return. Then he may have to fight alone.
"Lord, we still have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we can definitely block Yuan Shu's attack. What I'm worried about now is the next direction of this battle. It's a bit difficult."
Cao Cao was worried about the current situation, but Xun Yu was worried about the future development of the war.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Only by blocking Yuan Shu first can we have any hope of moving forward, hey."
Cao Cao shook his head and walked directly to the city wall.
after?
If Yuan Shu can't be stopped now, there's nothing to talk about in the future. Hey, is it true that God won't help me, Cao Cao?
He needs to calm down now.
"Then I'll leave it to General Cao Hong, General Xia Houyuan, and General Li Dian to rest with me."
Seeing Cao Cao coming down the city, Xun Yu clasped his fists at Cao Hong and followed Cao Cao.
"promise."
Xia Houyuan and Li Dian also nodded. They were really tired. They had lost two horses to death after traveling day and night for the past few days, so they rushed back.
"Lord, the trebuchet is ready."
The trebuchets in the front row were installed relatively quickly, and soon the captain came to report to Yuan Shu.
"Let's get started. Let's show Cao Cao how powerful we are."
Yuan Shu rushed to the trebuchet captain and nodded to indicate that he could start his performance.
"promise."
The trebuchet captain saluted Yuan Shu with clasped fists, and then returned directly to the trebuchet ranks.
"My lord has an order, the trebuchets can attack. Pass my order, and all the trebuchets will be ready to fire with one heavy shot."
The captain issued the order directly.
"Car No. 1, one calibration projectile is ready."
"Car No. 2, one calibration projectile is ready."
"Car No. 50, one calibration projectile is ready."
Yuan Shu had prepared no less than a hundred trebuchets for this attack on Dan Tu Guang. These were only fifty Scholar No. 1 trebuchets, and there were twenty more ready to be assembled at any time. There were also thirty Scholar No. 2 movable trebuchets.
Be prepared to move forward with the army and help the army suppress the defenders on the top of the city.
"put."
The captain gave an order, and fifty stone bullets rose into the sky, flying towards Dantu City with a whimpering wind.
"The interception net is erected."
In order to deal with Yuan Shu's attack, Cao Cao also made great efforts. Not only did he imitate the stone-fired cart, but he also learned the function of the interceptor net from the defeated troops in the Battle of Yanzhou. Therefore, many interceptors capable of intercepting stone bullets were also made in Dantu City.
The net is a long-range weapon against Yuan Shu.
The interception nets rose up instantly, covering the entire city wall.
"puff."
"puff."
"Peng."
A series of stone bullets fell into the pockets of the interceptor net one after another, and some stone bullets hit the city wall directly, causing the sky to be filled with stone debris.
Apart from anything else, the interception net played a certain role. The first wave of stone bombs caused minimal damage to Dantu's city wall.
"Captain, they have an interception net."
Seeing the interception net erected on Cao Cao's city wall, an observer informed the captain Yuan Huang about the situation.
"All trebuchets fire net-breaking bombs, three consecutive rounds, let go."
To be honest, ever since the interception net appeared when attacking Liu Bei in Yanzhou, they began to study how to break the enemy's defensive measures. In the end, the craftsman camp in Jizhou solved this problem with professional net-breaking bombs.
As the name suggests, net-breaking bombs are specially created to split interception nets. Their weight is the same as that of heavy bombs, but their appearance is a circle of annular blades. They produce high-speed cutting force by the force of rotation at high altitude, which can
An interceptor net made of linen can be easily cut.
Net-breaking bullets shot out of the air one after another and directly hit the Dantu city wall.
"Interceptor Network."
Seeing the stone bullets coming again, Cao Hong ordered the interception net to be raised again, and the interception nets were raised again, covering the entire Dantu.
"Tear."
"cross."
"Peng."
The high-speed rotating net-breaking bullets took effect the moment they came into contact with the interception net. Each net-breaking bullet directly tore through the interception net and hit the Dantu city wall hard, tearing each soldier into pieces and everywhere.
They are stumps flying around.
Just as the first wave of net-breaking bombs stopped, the second wave and the third wave of net-breaking bombs struck again, not only tearing apart all the interception nets, but also sweeping away the masses of Cao's soldiers on the city wall.
"Spread out, spread out."
Seeing the tragic situation on the city wall, Cao Hong was also filled with souls of the dead and directly ordered his soldiers to disperse.
"Five rounds of shotguns, let go."
Seeing the chaos on the city wall, Yuan Huang immediately ordered the trebuchet to replace the heavy bombs that were about to be fired, and fired shotguns at Dantu's city wall.
A barrage of stones floated directly towards Dantu's city wall like a dark cloud.
"Soft shield, defense."
Seeing the stone bullets falling from the sky, Cao Hong directly ordered the soft shields learned from Yanzhou to go out.
A soft shield appeared on top of the city, covering all the slightly panicked soldiers under the shield's defense.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
A series of slight crashes were heard, and although there were additional screams, overall there were not many casualties.
Although the scattering of bullets continued, the Dantu city wall stabilized from the panic just now.
"It seems that Cao Cao learned a lot from Liu Bei, including heavy bombs for odd-numbered cars, shotguns for even-numbered cars, cross firing, and ten consecutive rounds."
Seeing that the scattered shells did not have the expected effect, Yuan Huang directly ordered the trebuchets to fire cross-fire, and cooperated with scattered shells and heavy shells to attack the city wall together.
Another barrage of barrages hit the sky, once again shrouding the alchemist under the stone bullets.
"Escape."
Facing the enemy's attack, Cao Hong was also furious. He didn't play according to common sense. The heavy bullets came out of the soft shield and there was no way to defend him, so all he could do was dodge.
Cao Hong took the lead and got behind a wall stack. The other soldiers followed suit, but there were only so many wall stacks. Most of the remaining people could only squat on the ground and cover their heads with shields, while silently hoping in their hearts that the stone bullets would not hit them.
on your own head.
The sound of impact, accompanied by countless screams, swept across the entire city.
This is the first wave, the second wave and the third wave until the end of the tenth wave. The city head of Dantu has turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with stumps everywhere and blood flowing everywhere.
After such a long period of shooting, the trebuchet troops temporarily stopped and roared, because the trebuchet is a delicate thing, and long-term firing will cause great damage to the trebuchet. They need to pause briefly to let the trebuchet relax.
"Quick, quick, clear the wall, take away all the corpses, and push all those stone bullets down for me."
Seeing that the opponent's trebuchets had temporarily stopped, Cao Hong jumped out from behind the wall stacks and loudly ordered his troops to clear the city wall.
One by one, the soldiers quickly carried out Cao Hong's orders. Those who carried corpses carried corpses, and those who pushed stones pushed stones. They had to clear the top of the wall quickly, otherwise when Yuan Shu used the infantry to attack the city, these things would become obstacles to their progress.
