The gate of the Taishou Mansion was originally locked, but it was blown open by the Huaxia Army, and the soldiers rushed in with Wei Yan.

In the front hall of the Taishou Mansion, Wei Yan immediately gave an order, ordered all the prisoners to be escorted, and only tied Cao Xiu to the pillar of the Taishou Mansion, and then stopped asking, leaving the soldiers to guard the Taishou Mansion, and he went outside the city to welcome Tai Shici and others into the city.

The 30,000 troops commanded by Wei Yan are the vanguard of the Northwest Field Army, and although the remaining 170,000 troops have been assembled, they are all scattered outside the city to prevent anyone from escaping.

Cao Xiu was tied to the pillar of the Taishou Mansion, still thinking about his wife in his heart, and he didn't know if he had run away at this time. People say that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and Cao Xiu is a cunning rabbit, because he knows that the Northwest Field Army of the Huaxia Army has a large number of people and strong military strength, so as soon as he took up the post of Wuwei Taishou, he reserved an escape route, just in case.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Cao Xiu saw Tai Shici, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Pang De, Chu Yan and others all walking in together. However, when he inadvertently glanced at a woman in the gap between the crowds, he was dumbfounded, this was his wife, how could she be arrested?

Tai Shici's face was full of spring breeze, and when he saw that Cao Xiu was tightly bound, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed at Cao Xiu and said: "Cao Wenlie is cunning and rabbit three holes, but unfortunately I didn't expect to be caught by my Huaxia army, right?" ”

Cao Xiu's face was ashamed for a while, and he saw his wife running towards him, and the people of the Huaxia Army did not embarrass them. He hurriedly asked, "How could you be arrested?" ”

"The concubine went out of the city according to her husband's instructions, but who would have thought that there were Huaxia troops everywhere outside the city. As soon as the concubine and the others came out of the secret cave, they were blocked by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army. In desperation, I had no choice but to surrender. When Cao Xiu's wife said this, she also had some grievances, as if she was saying that she had known that this would be the case, and it was better to stay with her husband.

Tai Shici didn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing Cao Xiu, walked up to Cao Xiu, and asked, "General Cao." Heard you're going to surrender? ”

"Yes, I'm going to surrender." Cao Xiu said.

"In this case, then on behalf of my emperor, I welcome General Cao to join, so that my Huaxia Kingdom will have another general. Come and loosen the ties to General Cao. Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.

After the soldiers untied Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu's face was full of shame, he originally relied on his own strength to fight with the Huaxia Kingdom, but where would he have thought that the Huaxia Congress would send troops in such bad weather. He was also careless. With a hint of confusion, he asked, "General Taishi, send troops in this bad weather." How did you come up with that? ”

"Haha, surprise and unpreparedness, I think, that's probably what it means. General Cao, don't be upset, you didn't lose to us on the frontal battlefield, this time I will hide it, and when I report to the imperial court, I will say that you surrendered the city. How is it? Tai Shici patted Cao Xiu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Cao Xiu didn't understand what Tai Shici meant by doing this. But he could feel that Tai Shici and the others didn't seem to have any ill will towards him. As if knowing that he would surrender. However, he knew that he was only temporary, and once he had the opportunity, he would definitely run back to Wei.

"Thank you General, Cao Xiu is willing to serve the dogs and horses from now on. General, if you divide your troops to capture the counties of Liangzhou now, I am afraid that it will be the same as here, and you will take it without blood, then, in this way, Liangzhou will be owned by our Huaxia Kingdom. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to be the pioneer in front of the general's account and sweep the counties of Liangzhou for the general! ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "General Cao, it's freezing this day, it's almost the New Year, my soldiers are freezing outside, how to say, let's take action after the New Year." General Cao, don't worry, I can understand your feelings of meritorious service, everything will be talked about in the next year, we plan to spend the New Year here, General Cao has no opinion, right? ”

"I didn't ...... I'm okay with that. Cao Xiu said with a slight hesitation.

Subsequently, Tai Shi Ci ordered the army to enter the city, Wuwei City is the first big city in Liangzhou, because Liangzhou is often invaded by foreign people, so the people of Wuwei City are relatively scarce, most of them have migrated to Guanzhong, and Wuwei City is repaired every year, every few years will add a city wall on the periphery, it is to Wuwei City has a total of three city walls, twelve city gates, it is located in the intersection of east and west at a fusion point, there are many traders in the city, when Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wuwei City was once prosperous, and became an important trade base on the Silk Road. Therefore, it is relatively easy to accommodate an army of 100,000. For the remaining 100,000, Tai Shici asked them to be stationed outside the city and set up a military camp.

After capturing Wuwei City, the Huaxia army took a rest here to prepare for the capture of the entire Liangzhou.

At the same time, in Tongguan City, Xu Huang, the general of the right chariot cavalry, officially welcomed Guo Jia into the city, and after Guo Jia affirmed his intention, Xu Huang slapped his thigh and shouted: "Great, I am looking forward to it day and night, and I am finally looking forward to this big battle." I'm going to gather the soldiers and horses, and please take a break, Lord Lieutenant. ”

Guo Jia saw Xu Huang's excited appearance, so he said: "General Xu is high-spirited, and this battle will definitely be able to win a big victory." ”

In the meeting hall of Tongguan, Xu Huang sat in the first seat on the right and gave up the top position to Guo Jia, after all, Guo Jia's grade is Zhengyipin, and he is the Privy Council Lieutenant of the current dynasty, and he is still the person personally appointed by the emperor this time.

In the hall, all the generals of the Kwantung Army arrived one by one, and Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang all sat in the hall respectively, waiting for Guo Jia's speech.

The Kwantung Army is the number of Lin Nanqin's Xu Huang department, in the Huaxia Kingdom, gradually began to implement the army number system, each number, is an army, directly under the emperor's remote command, the Privy Council only plays the role of a staff officer. Moreover, in each army, a staff headquarters will be set up, and before the expedition, it will no longer be carried out according to the personal will of the leader of the army, which greatly reduces the chance of error.

Guo Jia glanced at everyone and said: "The emperor has issued a holy decree, taking advantage of the fact that most of the Wei army is staying in Shu, he has ordered the Northwest Field Army to officially attack Liangzhou, and at the same time, let the Kwantung Army cooperate. Launched a fierce attack on Qinzhou, striving for a quick victory, and completely taking Qin and Liangzhou. Block the Wei army in Shudi! That's why I'm here to help. General Xu is fully responsible for all military affairs, and I will help from the side. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia took the initiative to walk down, came to Xu Huang, made a gesture of please, and said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, you are most familiar with the terrain here." I'll just help from the sidelines, charge into battle, or you're in charge. ”

Xu Huang was not polite, he stood up, and then ordered: "Order the army today, go out in the middle of the night, and let the soldiers get ready." ”

"No!"

Lin Yang, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang all withdrew, and Xu Huang said to Guo Jia: "Cao Ren has cast a Xiongguan in Huayin, which is no less than Tongguan. Even the mountain trails that used to be blocked together, if you want to pass through Huayin Xiongguan, you still need the help of Lord Taiwei from it. ”

"Well said. I just don't know how General Xu needs me to help? Guo Jia asked.

Xu Huang immediately tore open the map, pointed on the map and said: "Lord Taiwei is the son-in-law of the Huns, and this expedition, I also hope that Lord Taiwei will borrow troops from the Huns, and only need to make a feint, so that they can cross the Yellow River from Hedong Mansion, go to Linjin, and go straight behind the Wei army." Cao Ren will inevitably send troops to help, and at this time our army will attack Huayin again. It must be much easier, as long as the Huns can hold off the Wei army for two days. Our army can then take it down in one fell swoop. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "General Xu rest assured. At this time, the Huns were afraid that they were already on the road, and there would be news tonight. ”

Xu Huang was taken aback and asked, "Has Lord Taiwei already done it?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "However, Cao Ren should not be underestimated, this person is the first general of the Wei State, in terms of merit, higher than Xiahou Yuan, in terms of fame, higher than Xiahou Yuan, is the first general under the Cao family, and has Huayin Xiongguan, so he has to deal with it carefully." Therefore, General Xu, although this war will be used, as long as the gate of Huayin is blown up, our army can take advantage of the situation to enter and repel Cao Ren. ”

"Well, it's already been prepared, so don't worry about it. I have also discussed with the General Staff Headquarters, the order has been issued, and tonight, even if Cao Ren cannot be caught, Cao Ren will be terrified. Xu Huang said categorically.

In the evening, sure enough, a Hun soldier came to Tongguan, saying that he had conquered Linjin City, but he did not see the reinforcements of Wei.

As early as when Guo Jia rushed to Tongguan, he sent someone to send a letter to the Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, begging to borrow 20,000 troops to attack the city of Linjin of Wei, and all the materials after the war belonged to the Xiongnu. On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Hu Chuquan personally went out to fight, led 20,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Fengling first, and after landing on the shore, he went to attack Linjin City non-stop, and successfully occupied it, looted it on a large scale, waited for the arrival of Wei reinforcements, and prepared to wait for work, but waited for nearly a day, and still did not see the Wei army coming, so he sent someone to inform Guo Jia.

Guo Jia received the battle report from the Xiongnu, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and said to Xu Huang: "Cao Ren is not in the plan, there are no reinforcements in the direction of Linjin, it seems that we can only fight with Cao Ren in this battle." ”

Xu Huang said confidently: "Lord Taiwei, rest assured, the Kwantung Army will inevitably win the first battle tonight." ”

……

Wei State, Qinzhou, Huayin.

Cao Ren led a team of personal soldiers, against the wind and snow, patrolling the entire pass, and the soldiers stood proudly in the wind and snow, motionless, like a stone statue.

The soldiers in the pass were all led by Cao Ren himself, and five years ago, it was still a relatively loose army, but five years later, it was already the first iron army of Wei. And Cao Ren is also a well-known strict general, who has changed his old atmosphere and looks cold all day long, which makes people feel a kind of prestige without anger at a glance.

After the inspection, Cao Ren returned to the official office, and after a little meal, a young general rushed from outside, and when the young general saw Cao Ren, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "See the general!" ”

When Cao Ren saw the young general coming, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What is the situation in Linjin City? ”

The young general has a strong physique, a high nose, and a pointed chin, and looks quite powerful. After hearing Cao Ren's question, he hurriedly replied: "Sure enough, as the general expected, after the Huns occupied Linjin, they did not move forward, but only robbed indiscriminately in the city. ”

A smile appeared on Cao Ren's face and said, "The more this time, the more you have to be more careful. Now that His Majesty's southern expedition to Shu and Han has already spread, the army has not returned to Shuzhong, in order to prevent the Huaxia Kingdom from taking advantage of the void to enter. We're going to have to work a little harder. This time, the Huns came in such a hurry, and someone must have instructed them behind their backs. That person is likely to be Guo Jia. This man is very resourceful and should not be underestimated. Yang Fu, you can send an order to go down and order the soldiers guarding the pass to strengthen night precautions, and hand them over back and forth in four time periods. This is the gateway of the Wei State, once there is any mistake, I am afraid that Qinzhou will not be protected. ”

"No!" That young general's name is Yang Fu. The word Yishan, who has been the leader in Liangzhou in recent years, was discovered by Cao Ren, so he was promoted to the captain of the thief and listened to it under the account.

In addition to Yang Fu, Wei has recently promoted many young generals to make up for the lack of talent in the country, but they are only appointed as subordinate generals, and do not lead troops alone, and generally lead generals. Or Cao Cao's old department. Of course, except for Zhang Xiu and Suo Xu.

After Cao Ren's order was delivered, the whole city entered a state of intense preparation. All the soldiers were on their toes. In recent years, Cao Ren's strictness in leading troops is also staggering, the army implements a system of joint sitting, if you charge to fight, and one person retreats without a fight, then the person in the tun where the person is located will be severely punished, the worst is to be killed on the spot, and the light is a hundred rods.

On the march. And so it is, iron discipline. The iron will made this army the title of the first iron army of Wei.

After dark. Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Lin Yang, Guo Jia and others all led the troops out, and the 30,000 troops of the Kwantung Army marched forward.

On such a snowy night, the march was quite difficult, and the cavalry of the Kwantung Army was relatively small, and there were only 2,000 cavalry in the 30,000 army, because the mountain roads were difficult to walk. Tongguan is only fifty or sixty miles away from Huayin, and the Kwantung Army is full of strength and vows to win this battle, so they don't feel tired, and the forced march will not make people feel cold, on the contrary, it will make people feel warm inside.

At the time of the child, after a long journey, the front of the Kwantung Army finally arrived at the foot of Huayin City. Strictly speaking, Huayin is now a Xiongguan, the city wall connects the north and south mountains, when the road is built, the city wall is relatively high, there are six zhang, in order to be afraid that people borrow the ladder to climb the city wall. In this way, if you want to conquer this place, you really have to use a special ladder.

However, when Xu Huang came this time, he didn't bring any siege weapons, only one thing, that is, each soldier carried a bag, which was enough to raze the entire Huayin City to the ground.

"Turn off the lights, the soldiers patrol back and forth, Cao Ren really took precautions." Guo Jia took the binoculars and saw that the soldiers on the city wall of Huayin were heavily guarded, and the patrol team was also very close, so he couldn't help but sigh.

After Xu Huang heard this, he smiled and said, "Lord Taiwei, you look at the skills of our Kwantung Army. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang moved his hand forward, and the two hundred soldiers under Lin Yang got into the snow nest that blocked the road in front of them, crawling forward in the snow nest, slowly squirming in the snow, without attracting the attention of the soldiers who closed it at all.

After Guo Jia saw it, he smiled and said: "General Xu, you really have you, you actually used this snow as a cover, I'm afraid that Cao Ren is still sleeping at this time, and when he attacks the pass for a while, he doesn't know what's going on!" ”

As he spoke, the figure of a general appeared on the city wall, the man with thick armor and a steel helmet on his head was Cao Ren.

After Guo Jia and Xu Huang saw Cao Ren, they all looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Cao Ren hadn't fallen asleep at this time.

Suddenly, Cao Ren turned his head to look at Guanxia, and a seemingly nonexistent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so that no one could notice it. After that, Cao Ren inspected the circle and went down the city wall.

When they arrived at the city gate, they immediately put the bag in their hands at the city gate, and then piled it up, and was about to light it, when suddenly the city gate opened, and Cao Ren took the lead, carrying a big knife and rushing out with the soldiers.

The 200 Huaxia soldiers were caught off guard, and before they could draw their weapons, they were all killed by Cao Ren and others outside the city gate.

Xu Huang, Guo Jia and others could only watch them being killed, but they could not be rescued.

Blood stained the snow red, Cao Ren asked the soldiers to bring the corpses of the two hundred Huaxia Army soldiers back to the city, along with the bags they carried, he looked at the darkness outside, and shouted: "What other tricks do you have, just use them, I, Cao Ren, am willing to learn them one by one!" ”

Cao Ren turned around and entered the city, and the city gates were closed. At this time, the Wei army on the city tower was all in full formation, and the crossbowmen stood in the wind and snow, looking under the city wall. If something happens, they will immediately shoot their bows and arrows.

Guo Jia, Xu Huang and others were all surprised. I didn't expect that if I came to attack tonight, I would be calculated by Cao Ren.

"Mistake, mistake......" Guo Jia saw that the two hundred sergeants were gone, and beat his chest angrily.

"Lord Taiwei doesn't have to be like this, Cao Ren is not in vain, I will definitely avenge the dead soldiers. Since you can't sneak attack, you can only attack. Xu Huang's eyes were also full of anger, although Huayin's wall was tall, but no matter what. can't resist their strong attack this time, so many, today we have to raze the entire Huayin to the ground!

Guo Jia saw Xu Huang's anger, these soldiers were all brought out by Xu Huang, and they got along with Xu Huang day and night, and they were like brothers and sisters watching them die in battle, and they naturally felt uncomfortable.

"General Xu, if you attack, will there be too many casualties?" Guo Jia said worriedly.

"If you don't attack, how can you take this Xiongguan? Lord Lieutenant. I'll be in full command here. Someone, send the captain to the back to rest! Xu Huang's face showed a hint of hideousness, and it seemed that he had made up his mind. and Cao Ren consumed.

Guo Jia also stopped talking, he could deeply understand Xu Huang's mood, this expedition, 30,000 troops came in a hurry, if he withdrew because his strategy did not work, it would be equivalent to a toss in vain. He saw two personal soldiers coming over, so he said to Xu Huang: "Does General Xu look down on me?" ”

"Why did Lord Taiwei say this?"

"Then why did General Xu let me go to the rear army? If I stay here, will I hinder General Xu? ”

"Lord Lieutenant. I'm worried about your safety once the war starts. Arrows don't have eyes, I'm afraid ......"

didn't wait for Xu Huang to finish speaking. Guo Jia pulled out the saber in his waist, stuck the saber on the ground, and said angrily: "Although I am not a general, and my strength cannot be compared with that of the soldiers, but what I have in my body is hot blood!" My man in Huaxia Country has no greed for life and fear of death, if I blindly cared about personal life and death, I would not have gone undercover by Lu Bu's side! I'm not even afraid of Lu Bu, why should Cao Ren be afraid? ”

Guo Jia's generous statement really impressed Xu Huang, although Guo Jia seems to be thin, but he is an iron-clad man. At the same time, this rhetoric also intensified the soldiers around Xu Huang, and for a while the soldiers were all in high spirits, seeing that Guo Jia was a captain, a scribe was still unwilling to retreat from the front line, and still had to stand here and risk the arrows and stones, so how could the soldiers of the Kwantung Army retreat easily!

Xu Huang saw a sense of vitality, and no longer asked people to send Guo Jia to the rear army, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers: "Call General Zhou, General Liao, and General Lin over." ”

The soldier said "promise" and went to deliver orders to Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang.

After a while, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang all arrived, came to Xu Huang and Guo Jia, first met Guo Jia, and then saluted Xu Huang.

After the ceremony, Xu Huang immediately said: "You have also seen the scene just now, I decided to storm Huayin Pass and raze Huayin to the ground, so that Cao Ren knows the strength of our army, and at the same time give the Wei army a dismount." ”

Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang said in unison: "We all obey the general's orders!" ”

"Good! This place is 600 steps away from Huayin City, and the farthest range of the Wei army's bow and arrow is only 200 steps, but just in case, our army only advanced 350 steps, and then charged forward with shield soldiers, each carrying a bag, all gathered under the city wall, put the bag back after the bag, and then sprinkled gunpowder on the way back, and finally ignited, I don't believe that the wall of Huayin is strong, and it can live strongly. Xu Huang said angrily.

"I'll understand!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang returned to their respective departments, and Zhou Cang, as the vanguard general, bore the brunt of the attack, personally selected five hundred shield soldiers, each carrying a bag, lined up in a row, and swept the snow along the way, sweeping all the thick snow to both sides of the road.

In Huayin City, Cao Ren was still waiting by the city gate, very curious about the bag he had just seized, he used his sword to cut open a bag, revealing a black powder on the ground, with a pungent smell.

Cao Ren covered his nose and asked, "What is this?" What is Huaxia Jun doing with these things? ”

The soldiers around them were also puzzled, they had never seen these things, let alone knew what they did. Looking at the small package that was not big or small and neatly bandaged, they all looked at each other for a while.

Cao Ren turned his head and asked, "Is there still a living mouth?" ”

The voice fell. Two soldiers dragged a half-dead Huaxia Army soldier to Cao Ren's side and said, "General Qiyu." There's only one left, but it's not going to work. ”

The arm of the man lying on the ground was cut off, and blood flowed all over the ground, staining the doorway of the city gate red, and he was dragged from him to Cao Ren's side, leaving a long blood mark along the way.

Cao Ren kicked the soldier with his foot and asked, "Say." What are you going to do with this black stuff? As long as you tell me, I will have someone treat your injuries, which can protect you from death, and give you an official and a knight, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth in the Wei country. Isn't that what you're a soldier for? ”

The soldier sneered, pointed to the bags piled up in one place, and said, "These ...... It was the tool we used to illuminate, and the night was too dark to be recognized. As soon as you light it with a torch, it will make a snorting sound and then it will instantly light up the surroundings...... cough cough cough ...... Unbelief. You try ......."

Cao Ren said suspiciously: "Does the Huaxia Army still have such a good thing?" You're not lying, are you? ”

"I'm going to die, what are I lying to you? Besides, I don't want to die......" The soldier began to cough incessantly, spitting out a little blood.

Cao Ren turned his head and shouted to the soldiers, "Bring a torch and light one!" ”

The Wei soldiers walked over to a soldier with a torch, and when he came to Cao Ren, he said, "General, which one?" ”

"Just ......," Cao Ren said, glancing around, pointing to the bag he had opened. Just order this! ”

"Yes, General."

Then. Cao Ren glanced at the soldier of the Huaxia Army again, and suddenly found that there was a trace of something wrong with the soldier's expression. Horror is mixed with excitement, and excitement is mixed with a hint of deep heaviness. When he saw the soldier staring at the torch, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait......"

However, at the moment when Cao Ren shouted, the soldier of the Wei army had just stopped, and the half-dead soldier of the Huaxia Army lying on the ground suddenly rushed over, directly hitting the soldier of the Wei army, and the torch was directly knocked away, falling on the pile of piled bags, and then the sound of sneering sounded, and the soldier of the Huaxia Army lay on the bag, laughing haha, his eyes showed great murderous intent, and his facial expression was already hideous.

"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor of Huaxia Shenzhou!" At the last moment, the soldier shouted the last voice.

"Spread out!" This scene made Cao Ren feel frightened, there are too many secrets in Huaxia Kingdom, a few years ago, the thing called the Heavenly Thunder Bomb could explode people alive, maybe these things were the collection of the Heavenly Thunder Bomb, Cao Ren was startled, pulled his legs and ran, and shouted at the same time.

As soon as Cao Ren ran out of the door, before the rest of the soldiers could react, the bag in the door of the city gate immediately exploded.

"Boom!"

A loud bang came from the door of the city gate, and then countless loud noises sounded in the door hole, and the huge shock wave generated by the explosion spread in all directions, and the soldiers around the city gate were all blown to pieces and bloody. Even Cao Ren, who ran out of the door, was blown away by the huge shock wave and fell heavily to the ground, with a buzzing sound in his ears.

At the same time as the sound of the explosion spread, the soldiers standing on the city wall felt their feet shake around, as if there had been an earthquake, and a large hole was blown open in the door of the city gate, and even the city gate was blown apart. However, since it was not placed against the root of the wall, but gathered in the center of the doorway, it did not have much impact on the root of the wall.

As soon as the explosion fell, the Huaxia troops outside the city were shocked, and they didn't know what was going on inside the city gate, but when they heard so many explosions exploding inside the city gate, they were all very excited, because the city gate was blown open, and it was in vain.

Xu Huang, Guo Jia and others were excited when they saw that the city gate had been blown open, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Cang and others to speed up the clearing of snow and open a smooth road for the army to storm Huayin.

At the city gate, Cao Ren got up from the ground, and when he saw that the city gate was blown open, Yang Fu rushed over from the side, so he hurriedly said: "Quickly lead the troops to block the city gate, and you must not let the Huaxia army enter the city." ”

Yang Fu said: "Yes." Checkmate. However, the Huaxia army did not attack, and only a few men cleared the snow outside the city. I'll ask the general as soon as the enemy is in range. Do you shoot it or not? ”

Cao Ren watched Yang Fu keep his mouth open, but there was nothing but buzzing in his ears. He couldn't hear anything, he was too close to the loud bang just now, his ears were hearing impaired, and he hurriedly shouted, "What the hell are you talking about?" I can't hear it, you louder! ”

Yang Fu was standing on the city wall, although he heard the loud noise, but because the explosion was really in the door of the city gate, the hard city wall prevented part of the sound from spreading. So he and his ears were not affected too much. He saw that Cao Ren couldn't hear what he said, so he realized the seriousness of the matter, put it next to Cao Ren's ear, and repeated what he had just said loudly.

"What the fuck are you doing so loudly? Didn't you think I was deaf? Cao Ren pushed Yang Fu away, because Yang Fu shouted too much, and the buzzing in Cao Ren's ears gradually disappeared.

Cao Ren's hearing gradually returned to normal, but when he saw the mess in the door hole of the city gate, he was completely dumbfounded, the explosion just now, the huge power generated made him feel a little palpitating when he thought about it now. If everyone in the Huaxia Army really had such powerful weapons, then this war would not be able to be fought.

In the field, there may be a few chances of victory. However, in the battle of defending the city, as long as you throw it into the city, even the strongest city will be razed to the ground.

The door of the city gate was full of thick blood, broken limbs were everywhere, intestines, brains, and blood were all over the ground, and if it weren't for the people who were used to killing, they would retch when they saw such a scene. Even those who are accustomed to killing have never seen such a messy scene.

In the opening of the city gate, there are two hundred living beings. Each one of them was a strong soldier, in front of such a small bag of things. It is so vulnerable, and human life is so fragile!

Cao Ren hurriedly ordered the soldiers to block the city gates. Afraid that the Huaxia army would attack, he left Yang Fu here to clean up the stumps in the city gate, and personally climbed the city tower, looking at the movements of the Huaxia army outside the city, and found that Zhou Cang and his people were clearing the snow and were about to enter the range.

He shook his head, shook off all the unpleasantness just now, and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Get the armor cone!" ”

The soldiers said "no", turned around and went down the tower, and not long after, groups of soldiers carrying bundles of armor-piercing cones climbed the tower, and scattered the armor-piercing cones to the archers. The archers put on the armor-piercing cones and drew their bows and arrows, all of them in high spirits.

Cao Ren also took a bow, stretched it full, and then shot an arrow outward with an ordinary arrow, and after the arrow flew out, it landed on a snowy field. He visually measured the distance, about one hundred and eighty paces, and fired a second arrow, but the second arrow was shot with relatively little force, about a hundred paces. After he finished ordering the arrows, he confidently said to the archers around him: "Show me all clearly, one hundred and eighty steps away, shoot with ordinary arrows, each person is only allowed to shoot three arrows, a hundred steps away, change through the armor cone, and never let the Huaxia army get one step closer to the city wall!" ”

"No!" There are 2,000 archers lined up on the city wall, Huayin City is not in a dangerous area, there is a large open space in front of the city wall, but it is expensive to stretch from north to south of the city wall, which can block its road, and after several years of gradual reinforcement, it has become a Xiongguan here.

At this time, Cao Ren saw that the Huaxia army began to float, advancing from a distance, stopping about two hundred and fifty paces away, showing a square battle formation, and there were extremely large numbers as far as the eye could see. He frowned, and ordered the mobilization of 4,000 archers, standing in the second and third rows, ready to stop the advance of the Huaxia army with bows and arrows.

In addition, Cao Ren also used hoplites to block the city gate, took all the 100,000 armor-piercing cones in the arsenal, and asked a special person to be responsible for transporting them.

After Cao Ren arranged everything, the front of Zhou Cang had also arrived. At this time, the front of Zhou Cang had been replaced three times, clearing snow and opening the way, but it was a manual work, and it increased from 500 to 2,000 people, and began to move forward.

Outside the city of Huayin City, if you look down from the air, it is a gourd type, the mountain road in the east is narrow, and there are not so many people side by side, but as soon as you get out of the mountain road, before arriving at Huayin City, it is a huge open field, which can stand two thousand people side by side. At that time, when Cao Ren built the pass, he wanted to move the city forward for a certain distance.

However, after careful consideration, it was considered to strengthen the original city on the basis of the original city, because the Wei State had no money at that time and could not build a new city, and it also required a lot of manpower and material resources to build a new city. However, it was gradually strengthened later, making Huayin like a great wall in the east-west direction, and nothing had happened in the past few years.

At this time, the subordinates led by Zhou Cang were advancing forward, and when they advanced to about one hundred and eighty paces, arrows were shot down from the city wall. Zhou Cang and the others held the shield and continued to move forward like no one else, because they were holding a steel shield in their hands, and it was naturally easy to block those iron arrows.

After the Wei army also made a shot, it stopped, and Zhou Cang and the others pushed forward even more boldly. After a while, Zhou Cang and the others came to a distance of a hundred steps from the city wall.

At this time, Cao Ren took out the armor piercing cone, drew his bow and arrows, and shouted at Zhou Cang and the others under the city wall: "Take one step closer, there is no mercy for killing!" ”

Zhou Cang and the others ignored it and continued to work hard.

Cao Ren showed a sinister smile on his face and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, and there was light snow in the sky, but it could not resist the rain of arrows of the Wei army soldiers at all.

As soon as the arrow was released, the armor-piercing cone immediately exerted its amazing power, and within a hundred steps, it penetrated the shield made of thin steel of the Huaxia Army, and at the moment of penetrating the shield, the arrow of the arrow immediately penetrated into the body of the Huaxia Army soldier holding the shield.

"Wow......"

This burst of arrows came unusually fiercely, and although the Huaxia army had a shield made of steel, it could not resist the edge of the armor-piercing cone. The armor-piercing cone was sharp at the moment, and while penetrating the shield, it also shot into the human body, and after a wave of arrows were shot, none of Zhou Cang and the others were not injured, and some were even shot at the vital point and died on the spot.

Zhou Cang and the others were very terrified, how could Huaxia, which had always prided itself on its sharp weapons and hard battle armor, be injured by the enemy's arrows. The shield is only made of thin steel, and may be crowned with great divine power under the sharp arrows, and there is a chance that it will be shot through.

But behind the shield, each soldier of the Huaxia Army wore a piece of steel armor, and the steel plates several inches thick could completely protect the chest and back. But this time, the steel plate was completely shot through, and the armor cone continuously shot through the shield, the steel armor, and invaded the human body, which is an incredible thing for the Huaxia army, the enemy has such sharp arrows, can they not be surprised?

Zhou Cang was also injured, and the arrow shot through his shield and penetrated his steel armor, but perhaps the arm strength of the archer was not good, although the arrow passed through the steel armor, it had become the end of the crossbow, and it was embedded in the steel armor, which only scratched Zhou Cang's belly.

He pulled out the arrow, took it in his hand and looked at it, the arrow was diamond-shaped, the arrow was extremely sharp, and it looked extremely cold in the black clothes, he touched it with his hand, trying to see how sharp it was, who knew that as soon as he touched the arrow, his finger was scratched.

At this time, the second wave of arrows rained down from the sky, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were accustomed to holding shields to cover them, but this time, they turned their bodies sideways to avoid being hurt by the arrows again. (To be continued)
