To the north of the city, the Tao army camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two days have passed, and Cao Cao has not seen the slightest sign of letting the city go.

On the contrary, along the line of the city of Xudu, Sergeant Cao was still reinforcing the city fortifications day and night, looking like he was going to defend it.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

The fighting spirit of hunting is burning like fire, and all the generals can't hold it back, and they all want to attack the city immediately.

The potter, however, drank a little wine and was not in a hurry.

"Husband, two days have passed, looking at the movement of the enemy army, Cao Cao has no intention of abandoning the city at all, and we should also prepare to attack the city." Hua Mulan was already a little impatient, and the pottery merchant sneered, "How important Xu Du is, how important the Son of Heaven is, Cao Cao won't not know, Madam thinks, I will be naïve and stupid to wait for Cao Cao to abandon the Son of Heaven and run away?" ”

Hua Mulan was full of murderous intentions, and said happily: "Fujun originally expected that Cao Cao would not abandon the city, so what do we have to hesitate about, tomorrow the army will attack the city and raze Xu Du to the ground in one fell swoop." ”

The potter was not as impulsive as her, and his eyes glanced at the strategists, "It seems that if you don't pay the price of blood, you can't take Xudu, even if you want to attack strongly, you have to reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible, what good plan do you have?" ”

The army of the pottery merchants besieging the city was only 30,000 people, but Cao Cao's defenders had 7,000, although they had a huge advantage, but they were not overwhelming.

In addition to the attack, a little strategy is needed.

The potter's gaze was the first to glance at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping swallowed a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said: "It is obviously inappropriate to besiege on all sides, our army is only 30,000 troops, and we cannot attack on all sides at the same time. ”

The voice fell, the potter had not yet spoken, Fan Xu had already said in a loud voice: "Drunkard, are you a fool when Cao Cao is a fool, if you storm a city gate, Cao Cao can immediately transfer troops from the other three gates to reinforce it, you can concentrate your forces to attack, and people can also concentrate your forces to defend, and it will not be a white tower at that time." ”

Fan Xu's words were not rough, but they were also very reasonable, and the potter nodded slightly.

"If this is the case, then we will try our best to make Cao Cao unable to find the direction of our army's main attack." Hua Mulan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The potter's eyes moved, obviously awakened by Mulan's words, and suddenly thought of something.

"The master mother is smart, after being reminded by the master mother, I have thought of a clever plan for the drunkard......" Chen Ping smiled, and a trace of weirdness appeared on his half-drunk face.

……

Next.

The world was gloomy, and the entire Xu Capital City was shrouded in a thick slaughter.

Today is the deadline given to Cao Cao by the potter.

During the day, the Tao army camp did not move at all, and it was as calm as usual.

As night fell, the Tao army still did not attack, and the soldiers and civilians of the city breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the threat of the pottery merchants the day before yesterday was just to scare them.

In the early morning of the next day, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone in Xu Ducheng fell asleep in a relaxed state.

Cao Cao was no exception, his nerves were tense for several days, and today he finally breathed a sigh of relief and could sleep peacefully.

Just when Cao Cao had just fallen asleep, an urgent report from the east gate woke him up:

Tens of thousands of Tao troops are gathering on the front line of the east gate, and it is clear that they will attack.

Cao Cao's nerves immediately tensed up again, and under the protection of Dian Wei Xu Chu, he hurriedly led a group of personal soldiers to the front line of the east gate.

Ascending to the top of the city, Le Jin has led 2,000 defenders to the city and is on strict guard.

"What's going on now?" Cao Cao ran up to the city, gasping and asking.

Le Jin's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand: "Yu Sikong, the enemy army has suddenly assembled on a large scale, and it is likely to launch a fierce attack on my east gate." ”

Le Jin looked out of the city, and Cao Cao also ran to the city wall, taking advantage of the dim light of the white in the east, looking out of the city, and his brows couldn't help frowning deeply.

In the field of vision, I saw that on the endless wilderness, tens of thousands of Tao troops were already lined up, rows of forest swords and halberds, glowing with a hideous and strange cold light, and the vast and endless sea of flags was like angry waves, rolling against the morning wind.

Looking further away, there are more Tao troops, who are constantly leaving the camp, like rivers, merging into the ocean in front of the city.

The Tao army's siege of the city is already obvious.

In addition to countless soldiers, Tao Jun is pushing the heavenly thunder cannons one by one to the front of the formation, not to mention that more than 300 heavenly thunder cannons have been aimed at the city, and the number is still increasing.

"Lord, the pottery thief obviously wants to concentrate all his forces and storm our east gate, should we send troops to reinforcements as soon as possible from the other three gates?" Lejin worried.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, calmed down, stared for a long time, but said: "The pottery thief is treacherous, don't rush to transfer troops first, I'm afraid that this is the pottery thief's plan to attack the west, let's see the situation first." ”

Le Jin could only force his anxiety and continue to sit and watch the enemy gather his forces, while cheering up the soldiers and preparing for battle.

Half an hour later, the assembly of Tao's army was completed.

The military arrays, large and small, were like barriers, with at least 20,000 troops, and the number of heavenly thunder cannons gathered in front of the military array reached as many as 400.

Not to mention the strength of the Tao army, the four hundred heavenly thunder cannons alone were enough to make Cao Cao have hairs on his back.

More than ten days of bombardment, has made Cao Cao deeply for the power of this trebuchet, feel deeply jealous, now the potter put nearly 400 heavenly thunder cannons, are concentrated in the east gate line, this if they are fired together, the power of the horror, has been beyond Cao Cao's imagination.

On Cao Cao's back, he faintly felt a trace of coldness to the bone.

A few hundred steps away, the potter immediately slashed and looked at the city with a sneer.

He seemed to be able to see clearly what a frightened expression the defenders at the head of the city were.

"Cao Dasikong, I'll give you a meteor shower......."

The corner of the potter's mouth raised a sneer, pointed at the sword, and shouted: "Heavenly Thunder Cannon, give me a salvo!" ”

The order was handed down, the sound of wooden tips pulling came and went, stone bullets the size of a bull's head were in place, and four hundred huge trebuchets were aiming at the east gate of Xudu.

The drums of war burst out, and the signal to shoot was immediately issued.

Whirring - 400 heavenly thunder cannons were fired at the same time, and in the loud sound of breaking the wind, more than 400 stone projectiles rose into the air, like a meteor shower falling in the sky, pouring towards the head of the city of Xudu.

The thousands of defenders at the head of the city were instantly frightened, instinctively shrunk down, and hid under the women's wall with their heads in their hands.

Boom Boom!

In the next moment, the sky fell apart.

The stone bullets in the air mercilessly hit the scarred city wall of Xu Du, the rubble collapsed, the dust flew, and the roar and screams poured into the eardrums like a tide, cutting Cao Jun's tense nerves like a sharp blade.

The nightmare has just begun.

After the first round of salvos, 400 heavenly thunder cannons fired endlessly at the enemy city, and the entire line of the east gate was covered by a rain of stones falling from the sky.

The density of stone bullets was far more dense than any previous bombardment, and even Bian Cao Cao was frightened by the loud sound of the mountain and the tsunami and the stone rain flying overhead.

With such a formation, Tao Jun didn't want to storm the East Gate, what else could it be!

After the bombardment of stone bombs, it was the Tao army's large-scale attack, at that time, tens of thousands of Tao troops surged in, only 2,000 casualties, how could the frightened Cao army resist.

Cao Cao's suspicion collapsed in a blink of an eye, shrunk under the female wall, and shouted hoarsely: "Immediately send an order to mobilize the remaining three soldiers and horses to come to the east gate to support!" ”
