The black army stood in formation, and the neat ranks exuded a domineering and majestic atmosphere. Under the scorching sun, the bright steel swords swayed slightly in mid-air, exuding a heart-stopping murderous aura.
"Kill! Kill!..."
The soldiers outside the city raised their necks and roared at the top of their lungs, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty light.
There is a shortage of food in the army. This is a matter known to everyone in the Wei army.
Cao Cao's purpose of attacking Wuyin County was also very clear to the Wei soldiers. If they wanted to have food, meat, and return home safely, they had to conquer Wuyin County.
With a clear purpose, the soldiers were extremely excited.
"Boring! Boring!!!"
The sharp sword struck the shield rhythmically, slowly and quickly, making a snapping sound.
The roars in the sky and the sounds of sabers hitting shields were heard one after another, which made the defenders on the upper floors of the county town feel tremendous pressure. This was the momentum gathered by all the Wei soldiers, which made the defenders of Wuyin County feel very depressed.
, even out of breath. They looked at the soldiers outside the city, their faces pale and their expressions flickering, as if they were facing an ancient giant beast.
These defenders were soldiers from Wuyin County, not soldiers brought by Zhang Liao.
In their eyes, Cao Cao's soldiers were mighty and majestic.
Some of the defenders even thought that the army outside the city was invincible.
This is the psychological pressure that Cao Cao painstakingly created.
Cao Cao looked at the situation on the city tower with great satisfaction, and slowly raised the sword in his hand. In an instant, all the sounds stopped, and everything inside and outside the city was silent, without any sound.
Cao Cao smiled and shouted: "Where is Zhang Liao?"
Cao Cao had a certain impression of Zhang Liao.
In the past, Lu Bu led troops to attack Yanzhou, and Zhang Liao was among them, so Cao Cao had some impressions.
Zhang Liao held a nine-foot-long sword in his hand, held his head high and his chest high, with a cold and majestic expression. Cao Cao's voice came, and Zhang Liao immediately replied: "Zhang Liao, the governor of Nanyang, is here. What's important for King Wei?"
Cao Cao swung his sleeves and shouted: "I am leading a large army to attack, and Wuyin County is in danger. If I want to enter Wuyin County, it will only be a matter of seconds. If Zhang Prefect Kaicheng surrenders,
I, the king, have done no wrong in Qiu. If Governor Zhang does not surrender, I will not be polite."
Zhang Liao shouted: "Cao Cao, you are just a defeated general under my lord, but you speak arrogant words. You are really shameless. You lost the battle in Xiangyang, but you came to Wuyin County to talk nonsense. Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you."
Cao Cao frowned and shouted: "Zhang Liao, have you thought clearly?"
Cao Cao showed enough strength, but Zhang Liao was still stubborn, which made Cao Cao very unhappy. If Zhang Liao surrendered without a fight, everything would be perfect.
Zhang Liao shouted coldly: "Cao Cao, if you want to fight, fight. What do I have to fear?"
In one sentence, it shows a tough attitude.
Cao Cao's face darkened and he shouted: "Attack the city!"
With an order, the Wei soldiers launched an attack.
Zhang Liao looked solemn and a little nervous. He had already sent a message to Wang Can, asking Wang Can to send troops to support him. However, with Cao Cao in front and Wang Can behind, it would take some time for the Shu army to arrive, which required Zhang Liao to delay.
Zhang Liao looked at the captain beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Inform the people in the city immediately that Cao Cao is going to massacre and rob the city, and ask them to take up arms to defend the city."
Zhang Liao had nearly ten thousand soldiers under his command, but he felt that it was not safe.
If all the people in the city participate in defending the city, this will be a powerful and invincible force.
The captain clasped his fists and said, "General, I will go and inform the people immediately."
After the captain turned around and left, the Wei soldiers launched an attack.
Zhang Liao was a little nervous, but he still calmly commanded the defenders to defend against the enemy. Facing the swarming Wei soldiers, Zhang Liao did not panic or fear, but kept fighting.
The more critical it is, the more calm you need to be.
Zhang Liao ran back and forth on the tower, encouraging the soldiers on the tower to kill the enemy.
"Pah! Pah!!!"
Aerial ladders were set up on the city tower, and the Wei soldiers who could not wait to attack launched an attack. Each soldier climbed on the ladders, like nimble apes, constantly running up.
Not long after, soldiers from the Wei army rushed forward.
Wei troops rushed up one by one, and the two sides started a fierce fight.
The 10,000 soldiers brought by Zhang Liao were different from the defenders in the county and were more brave. Even though the Wei army attacked like a wave, they were still blocked by the defenders on the towers.
Seeing that the army failed to gain an advantage, Cao Cao said bitterly: "If our army's camp was not burned down, we could use the Thunderbolt Chariot to launch boulders to attack the city wall and destroy the city wall in Wuyin County. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
Cao Cao sighed repeatedly, very disappointed.
Cao Cao's army withdrew midway, carrying no siege weapons and only simple ladders to attack the city.
As a result, the difficulty of siege increases linearly.
Cao Ang stared at the city tower and saw that countless people wearing coarse linen clothes and holding hoes and wooden forks suddenly appeared on the city tower. He exclaimed: "Father, look at the city tower, there are actually people participating in the battle. Zhang Liao
Mobilize all the people in the city to protect Wuyin County, we have encountered a tough nut."
Cao Cao glanced around and felt even heavier.
What a Zhang Liao, he actually organized the people in the city to resist, and his reaction was quick enough.
Zhang Liao looked at the people around him with a smile on his face.
Only when the common people help can we form the strongest defense.
Even though Cao Cao had a powerful army, tens of thousands of people in the city knew that Cao Cao was going to massacre the city and rose up to resist. This was the most powerful force. Cao Cao did not have any siege weapons and could not break into the city, so it would be difficult to break the city. This is
Zhang Liao's self-confidence. The siege battle lasted from noon to night, and the city was full of corpses both above and below it.
The people suffered numerous casualties, the defenders suffered numerous casualties, and so did the soldiers under Cao Cao.
Overall, Cao Cao's losses were greater.
Liu Ye looked at the blood-stained city wall, frowned and said, "My lord, the people of Wuyin County have all come to help Zhang Liao, and they are resisting desperately. It is difficult for us to win if we stay in Wuyin County!" In fact, Liu Ye wanted to say something more.
He did not dare to tell Cao Cao about the fact that the Taoist would be helped more than the unruly, but he could only persuade Cao Cao tactfully.
Massacring a city to grab food is a taboo.
Cao Cao's face was as dark as water, and he shouted bitterly: "Retreat the troops!"
"Dang! Dang! Dang!!"
The gong sounded, and when the Wei soldiers heard it, they retreated like a tide.
Zhang Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Wei soldiers retreating. Seeing the Wei soldiers retreat, the soldiers guarding the city laughed loudly, with joyful smiles on their blood-stained faces. The people on the towers were even more joyful, holding up their hands high.
Weapons were jumping to celebrate that they had defended their homeland and did not need to be massacred by Cao Cao. Some people even cried with joy.
All because they protected their homeland.
However, Zhang Liao did not relax his vigilance. As long as there were no reinforcements, he could not relax his guard.
While Cao Cao is still outside the city, there is still a threat.
