The soldiers of the Wei army were fighting hard, but Cao Shen did not stay out of the matter, carrying a halberd and personally devoting himself to the fierce battle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Shen ran all the way, and saw that a few steps away, a soldier was shot to the ground, and at the battlements guarded, a brave Wu pawn took advantage of the situation to climb up, rushed to the head of the city a few times, and stood on the battlements with both feet.

When the soldier was excited, Cao Shen was in a hurry, rushed forward in a few steps, and in a low cheer, he slashed away with a halberd in his hand.

In a numbing sound of flesh and bones, the legs of the Wu soldier were neatly cut off from the ankles, and the broken foot of the Wu pawn could not stand firmly, and the whole person screamed in horror, fell from the city, and instantly smashed into pieces.

Killing the enemy who ascended the city, Cao Shen used his halberd against the cloud ladder in front of him, his arms and muscles soared, and he worked hard, accompanied by a majestic roar, climbed the ladder with three people, weighing hundreds of catties, and was pushed out by Cao Shen with his own strength.

Bang!

The ladder slammed into the ground, and in the dull crashing sound, it set off one after another, and the terrible screams sounded, and several Wu soldiers were stoned to death on the spot.

The soldiers of the Wei army, who were fighting hard, saw their commander Cao Shen, working hard and personally toppling a ladder of the enemy, and their morale was greatly encouraged, and the morale of all the generals was encouraged.

Overturning a cloud ladder, Counselor Cao exhaled a breath, the horizontal halberd stood proudly, and the power was like a mountain, which made the Wu soldiers under the city frightened.

"This Cao ginseng, I have to tear him apart with my own hands!"

Han Dang under the city, seeing Cao Shen's vigorous appearance, the green muscles on the old man's face were surging suddenly, and his eyes were burning with deep resentment.

In addition to resentment, Han Dang became even more anxious.

Although the Wei army has few soldiers and horses, this Cao Shen is obviously a general, and the defense is seamless.

Han Dang could only watch the cloud ladders being overthrown, a famous soldier was killed by flying stone arrows, and his own soldiers were killed and wounded heavily.

Under anxiety, Han Dang's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes swept along the line of the city gate, his gaze locked on the city gate, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

He already had an idea.

At that moment, Han Dang roared and ordered, concentrating his forces to attack the city gate, hoping that the rushing convoy at the city gate could break through the enemy gate, as long as he could break through the city gate, his tens of thousands of troops could pour in from the city gate, and with the advantage of numbers, the Wei army was flattened in one fell swoop.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the city gate, Chen Wu commanded nearly forty Wu soldiers who were as strong as oxen, turning the huge rushing car, relying on the powerful battering ram on the rushing car, constantly hitting the city gate.

On both sides of the rushing car, there were nearly seventy shieldmen of the Wu army, holding large shields high, forming a roof wall above their heads, resisting the arrows shot from the city and the flying stones that kept falling.

Wu Zu is also brave enough, in the screams, from time to time someone fell under the fierce attack of the city, one person fell, the people in the back row did not hesitate, went forward to make up for it, and slammed the city gate without flinching.

Haiduan is not a big town, the city gate is far less solid than Chaisang, if the Wu people keep hitting it like this, sooner or later the city gate will be broken.

As soon as the city gate was broken, even if Cao Shen was both civil and military, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses, it would be difficult to resist, and ten times the Wu army poured into the city.

It will be a foregone conclusion that the sea will be lost and lost.

Inside the city gate, dozens of sturdy Wei soldiers, at this moment, are risking their lives, using their bodies to resist the gate, with their flesh and blood, struggling to buffer, even if they are smashed to the body, they will not take half a step back.

Bang -

The heavy impact continued, and with a rumbling sound, the south gate of the sea dusk was hit more than thirty times in the blink of an eye, and cracks began to appear in the center of the gate!

Chen Wu, who was in charge of the command of the former enemy, finally saw hope, and his fighting spirit was wild, shouting that he would throw more crossbowmen into the city gate, suppressing the Wei army with arrows, and strengthening the cover for the charging convoy.

At the head of the city, Cao Shen had discovered the danger at the city gate, ran over with a halberd with blood, bowed his head and swept towards the city, only to see the place in front of the city gate, the black pressure was crowded with Wu pawn, Wu pawn held high above his head, the heavy shield, like an iron wall, formed a dense defensive array, any attack of the Wei army, can not break through.

The defense of the Wu army was so dense that the flying stones or arrows of the Wei army, or even the sassal wood, could not break through the enemy's defenses, and if they could not break through the enemy's shield wall, they would not be able to destroy the rushing car, and they would not be able to stop the Wu army from breaking through his city gates.

The situation has reached the most critical juncture!

"There's no way, I can only use that dangerous move......"

Cao Shen took a deep breath and shouted: "Reserves, bring the prepared fire oil to the general, and burn the enemy with fire!" ”

When Cao Shen's order was issued, the generals on the left and right all changed their expressions, and they all looked at him in horror.

At this time, if you attack with fire, although you can burn the Wu army's chariot in one fell swoop, but at this time, the enemy army is rushing and is clinging to the city gate.

Although the soldiers were worried, they did not dare to disobey the order, and hurriedly carried dozens of barrels of fire oil up from the city and transported them to the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers cautiously soaked the torches in their hands in the oil of fire, lit them and threw them to the Wu army's convoy under the city without hesitation.

Whew!

The fire was blazing, and the torches soaked in fire oil fell, and once they were thrown on the wooden shield of the Wu army, they were immediately ignited, and dozens of torches were thrown down, and in the blink of an eye, the impregnable shield wall of the Wu army was burned into a wall of fire.

On the front line of the city gate, the tragic howl was loud for a while, and the Wu army was extremely frightened, where did they care about attacking the city again, and they were all frightened, and they threw away the fire wooden shields one after another.

The person who reacted quickly fled first, and the unlucky ghost who reacted slowly was instantly ignited on his body, and his whole body burned into a burning man in the blink of an eye, rolling on the ground with a miserable howl.

The defense of the Wu army was finally burned through, and the rushing car hidden below fell into a situation of no protection.

Cao Shen immediately ordered that all rockets, torches, and everything that could be burned should be thrown at the huge rushing car.

Huhuhu-

Flames splashed everywhere, and the huge rushing car was instantly ablaze, and the flames splashed and spread in all directions, and soon burned towards the city gate.

In the blink of an eye, flames also broke out on the city gate.

Cao Shen was mentally prepared for this, and immediately shouted: "Everyone move, quickly pour water on the city gate, and never let the gate be burned." ”

Only then did the soldiers suddenly realize that Cao Shen dared to use this risky strategy, and he had already taken a countermeasure, so he immediately ran back and forth, and poured the buckets of water prepared in advance towards the city gate from the inside.

A large stream of cold water quickly soaked the entire city from the inside to the outside, and although the rushing car on the outside of the city gate burned into a ball of fire, although the flames were strong, it could not ignite the wet city gate.

Inside the city gate, seventy or eighty soldiers, one by one, passed one by one, without stopping, carrying wooden barrels full of water to the city in a steady stream, and kept pouring cold water on the city gate.

It took half an hour for the car to burn to ashes, and the city gate was also burned out of cracks, black, but the whole was still standing.

The Wu army outside the city gate was in a panic because of the fire, and did not have the slightest intention of attacking again, and after leaving dozens of charred corpses, they scattered in a swarm.

The crisis is finally over.

The defeat of the Wu army at the city gate severely boosted the morale of the whole army, and along the front line of the city, the soldiers of the Great Wei were deeply encouraged, and they were all enthusiastic and fought back against the Wu army.

The morale of the Wu army was hit, and the attack power became weaker and weaker, and in the blink of an eye, they were all suppressed by the Wei army and couldn't raise their heads.

"This Cao Shen, really has a bit of ability, no wonder Zong'er was captured by him, how many such hidden people are still hidden under the command of the pottery thief?"

Han Dang looked at the burned rushing car, annoyed and amazed in his heart.

At this moment, Chen Wu had already retreated from the front line and shouted: "Old general, the enemy is too stubborn to defend, and it is really difficult for us to attack it, why don't we send all the remaining soldiers and horses up." ”

Han Dang stared at the head of the city for a long time, then gritted his teeth and brushed his hand: "This Cao Shen has some ability, the old man underestimated him, our army is not well prepared today, morale has been lost, and it is inappropriate to attack again, so order the whole army to retreat temporarily." ”

Although Han Dang was eager to take revenge on Xue Shame, he had the style of a famous general, and he did not act out of anger, and in desperation, he decisively ordered a retreat.

The sound of gold sounded, and the more than 10,000 Wu troops had to retreat according to the order, and in desperation, they could only leave nearly a thousand corpses, and the surging tide of the offensive finally faded.

At the head of the city, 3,000 Wei soldiers were all excited, and they used the cheers of showing off their might to laugh at the Wu army that was forced to withdraw.

Han Dang looked back at the city, looking at the banner of the word "Cao", and the color of disgust and hatred in his old eyes became even stronger.

……

A day later, Chaisang.

Above the lobby, the potter was already smiling at the good news that Cao Shen had just delivered.

The good news claimed that he led 3,000 soldiers to stubbornly repel the onslaught of 23,000 Wu troops and keep the sea from losing.

And Han Dang did not dare to attack again for a while, so he only camped on all sides of Haidu, wanting to use siege tactics to trap Haidusk City to death.

At the same time, Cao Shen also told the potters not to worry, he had expected that the Wu army would adopt siege tactics, so he had looted enough grain and grass from the counties around Haiduan in advance, enough to support more than two months of military supplies, so that the potters did not have to worry about him at all.

"This Cao Shen is really a general's talent, the king's ability to recognize people, it really makes me wait to open my eyes again." Zhang Liang at the bottom of the stairs couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Previously, Zhang Liang was still worried that the potter had entrusted such an important task to Cao Shen, even if Cao Shen could capture Haidu, he might not be able to defend it.

The current facts once again prove that the potter's discerning eyes can recognize people beyond the reach of no one in the world.

"Nonsense, I summoned all the famous generals of the past dynasties, even you were summoned by me, can you not be strong......" The potter smiled secretly in his heart, and his heroic face couldn't help but raise a little pride.

After a burst of laughter, Tao Shang said: "Although Cao Shen is good, we can't put too much pressure on him, and we should also find something for Sun Ce to do, so that he can't draw troops to attack Haidu."

Zhang Liang's eyes moved, and he immediately felt that the potter's murderous intent was born.

As soon as he slapped the case, the pottery merchant happily shouted: "Order Ma Yuan, and order him to lead 7,000 water troops to take the initiative to attack, take Peng Ze directly, and give Sun Ce some color to see." ”

If it had been left behind, the potters would certainly not have dared to make Ma Yuan take the initiative to attack.

However, at the moment, Sun Ce only has 30,000 sailors left in his hands, and although the number of sailors still has an advantage, it has weakened a lot.

At this time, he dared to let Ma Yuan take the initiative to attack, and he didn't really want to fight Sun Ce, but just gave Sun Ce some trouble, so that he could no longer divide his troops to reinforce Han Dang.

After all, although Cao Shen's strength is there, after all, he is deep into the enemy's territory and fighting alone, for the sake of safety, the potter naturally wants to share some pressure for him as much as possible.

He sent horse reinforcements to attack, but it was only to contain Sun Ce and make it impossible for him to draw troops again.

Zhang Liang immediately understood the intentions of the potters, and couldn't help nodding slightly, deeply admiring the flexibility of the potters' soldiers.
