Outside the city of Chencang, the smoke has risen, the Han army rushed to the Chencang like a tide, the whistling arrow rain continued to fall on the head of the city of Chencang, the whole city, like a flat boat in the storm, as if it would be extinguished by the Han army at any time.

However, since Huang Zhong received the news of Chen Dao, it has been three days, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, and Yang Ren have taken turns to attack the city, obviously feeling that they are about to be captured, but Chen Cang seems to have an inexplicable toughness, although it is precarious, it is always a little worse, which makes people feel like a cat scratching.

The general who defended the city knew that the range of his bow and arrow was not as good as that of the Han army, so he rarely fought with the Han army, and often saw the Han army's arrow rain coming, so he let the soldiers hide under the female wall, and when the siege troops attacked and the arrow rain stopped, they immediately rushed out, rolling wood, stones, and burned fire oil were thrown down together, plus bows and arrows in a volley, and when the Han army's arrow rain shrouded again, he immediately drilled back to the female wall to dodge.

The other party's city-guarding routines are not complicated, basically those, but Huang Zhong and Yan Yan both found that the other party is familiar with these city-defending routines and uses them skillfully, which is actually used by many generals, but the most important point is that this person is not greedy, even if there is some chaos in the Han army, he will never take advantage of the situation to pursue, as long as he sees his side shooting arrows, they will immediately hide behind the female wall, and their grasp of the fighter is extremely keen.

It is not necessarily how strong, but it is very stable, and it is more cherished for the lives of the soldiers, and will not fight randomly, Huang Zhong and the three of them attacked for three days, but Chen Cang has no signs of being breached, the well made by the sappers was burned by the other party, and the city car was not spared, all kinds of equipment that were burned can be seen everywhere outside Chen Cang City, the stone bullets of the stone throwing car have not stopped, the enemy buildings of the other party have been smashed, and even the city wall is full of potholes, cracks are all over, but Huang Zhong has a feeling of a dog gnawing on a turtle......

"Who is the city guard!?" The sky had completely darkened, Huang Zhong reluctantly gave Ming Jin's order, looked at the Han army retreating like a tide, gritted his teeth and asked.

Yang Ren shook his head, there was a big banner of Hao on the other side's city, but there were many generals with this surname in the middle of the Wei State, and there were no famous ones, who knew which one?

Yan Yan collected his troops and came back, his brows were a little tight, Chen won the first battle over there, but he defeated the famous general Xu Huang in three days, and the three of them failed to break through Chen Cang, which was guarded by an unknown person, which made Yan Yan feel a little anxious.

Not only him, Huang Zhong and Yang Ren were also anxious, not only because it was difficult to break through the city, but also because of their own reputation.

"Why don't I lead the army to attack at night tonight?" Yan Yan looked at Huang Zhong and asked.

Huang Zhong shook his head: "Then General Wei is quite good at guarding, and he may not have a chance at night!" ”

When attacking the city, I am not afraid of encountering any famous generals, and the most afraid is to encounter this kind of general who is good at defending, after all, there are so many routines for defending the city, and the gap between famous generals and ordinary generals is not obvious.

Liu Yi was dealing with Nanban in Nanzhong, so it was called a stable, all the way was paved in the past, and no matter how anxious he was, he could be smoothed out.

"I'm trapped here by a nameless person? Look at that Uncle Chen's meritorious service!? Yan Yan said dissatisfied.

"Uncle Zhi can break the city in three days, it is the work of the flying army under his command, this army is quite elite, it is trained by Mohou and Shuzhi, equipped with the armament that Mohou personally built for them, and these flying troops are good at climbing, and their strength is amazing, each can be one as ten, they can climb the city wall with the help of a pair of steel claws, can there be such people in our army?" Huang Zhong asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Yan Yan was speechless, it was the first time he knew that the barbarian army under Chen Zhi had such ability, he shook his head, Yan Yan frowned and said, "But just like this, with a nobody?" ”

"You and I don't have much of a reputation!" Huang Zhong glanced at Yan Yan, in this army, he can also say Yan Yan, after all, he is older, he is old, and it is not intentional to rely on the old and sell the old, but to let a junior command him, there must be something awkward in his heart, and it is different if he changes to an older one, after all, a completely hands-off commander like Liu Yi is rare in ancient and modern times, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also have this mind, so they brought the two together.

Yan Yan heard this, he had nothing to say, he was still a little famous in Bashu, a famous general in Shu, but he really came out of Shu...... No one really knows about him.

"What then?" Yan Yan looked at Huang Zhong and asked.

"In fact, so far, our army has been pressing the Cao army to fight, there is no need to want to break through this Chen Cang as soon as possible because of the breakthrough of Yixian, now it's not that we can't afford it, but the Cao army can't afford it, and when the general of the Che Cavalry leads the army to kill it, this Chen Cang is a lonely city, the enemy will be able to stop me from waiting for three days, do you think he can stop me from waiting for thirty days?" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

In fact, siege warfare, it is difficult to overcome a city with heavy garrison in three days, not to mention a month, three months and half a year are the norm, Chen Zhi can break Xu Huang in three days, there is some luck in it, Huang Zhong is carrying this, so he is not in a hurry.

"If you want to break the city, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses to break Yongxian!" Huang Zhong looked at Yan Yan and said.

Now that Yixian County has been broken and Chencang has been besieged, Yongxian County has become a lonely city, and there are not too many troops stationed there, it is not difficult to attack, and 3,000 men and horses are enough.

"Then this Chen Cang ......" Yan Yan looked at Huang Zhong and frowned.

"I will let Yuan Liang build a high platform outside the city and shoot it with a bow and arrow every day." Huang Zhong said with a smile, the sappers in the army are very useful at this time, they can build the buildings they want as quickly as possible.

Yan Yan nodded, and didn't say anything about going to Yongxian, as soon as this Chen Cang was broken, Yongxian County was incidental, that place was not a strategic place, and it was useless to capture it, Chen Cang was broken here, and Yongxian County could be taken by the way, so why let him lead troops to attack?

That night, Huang Zhong called Cen Yuanliang, organized sappers, and built a high platform outside Chencang, the Han army has a range advantage, this high platform does not have to be too high than the other party, even flush, the bow and arrow can also shoot to the head of Chencang City, and then one zhang higher, but also to be able to see the reality of Chencang.

……

"General!" Early the next morning, as soon as Hao Zhao got up, he saw a captain hurriedly come in, saw Hao Zhao, bowed down and said: "The general's Han army has built a high platform outside the city, and is shooting arrows into the city at the moment!" ”

"High platform?" Hao Zhao frowned, nodded, put on his armor, and hurriedly led people up to the city to watch.

Before he climbed to the top of the city, he heard a sound of breaking the air, and the captain who had been prepared for a long time hurriedly blocked a shield in front of Hao Zhao and himself.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

There were three muffled sounds in a row, Hao Zhao looked at the arrow less than an inch away from the tip of his nose, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, the advantage of the Han army's bow and crossbow, he had a deep experience in the past three days, but he didn't expect it to be so rampant today!

"General, get down quickly, those Han soldiers have seen us!" The captain pulled Hao Zhao by his hand, lay on the ground, and crawled forward.

Hao Zhao didn't care about any image, and also lay down, like a silkworm chrysalis, slowly moved to the female wall, through the gap between the wall stacks, Hao Zhao finally saw the situation on the other side, but saw a high platform or arrow tower that was more than one zhang higher than the city wall of Chen Cang or the arrow tower towered outside the city, the arrow tower was very wide, and the distance between the two arrow towers was only about one or two zhang, if you didn't look closely, I thought that there was another city wall outside Chen Cang, and there were archers on the arrow tower who were constantly shooting arrows into the city, Hao Zhao estimated the height of the other party, At that height, the situation in the Chen Cang is afraid that it can be seen at a glance.

"Thunderbolt!" Hao Zhao waved his hand and said to the generals, this strategy was also used by Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu, but it was broken by Cao Cao with a thunderbolt.

"It's useless." The general shook his head with a wry smile: "The thunderbolt in our army can't touch the other party at range, I'm afraid only the trebuchet captured from Jiangdong will do." ”

In recent years, there have been few battles between Cao and Liu since the Battle of Nanyang, but they fought with Sun Quan twice, although they did not make any contributions, but they also captured several catapults, which had a very long range and a high hit rate.

It's a pity that it is not easy to transport such a catapult from Runan here, and it is usually used to deal with Sun Quan on the spot.

Hao Zhao was a little distressed when he heard this, the range was not enough, how could he fight? If you let the arrow towers stay, some military operations on your side will not be able to escape the eyes of the other party, and these arrow towers must be destroyed, otherwise you can only be beaten.

These towers must be destroyed!

Hao Zhao led people to lie down under the female wall, thinking hard about countermeasures in his heart, and now it is not easy to even think about it.

That night, Hao Zhao took the initiative to attack for the first time after the war, and personally led eight hundred elites out of the city quietly, wanting to burn down these arrow towers, but Huang Zhong had already prepared, and the sappers laid a lot of traps in front of the arrow towers, and also set up a few bronze mirrors to gather light, Hao Zhao just went out of the city, and someone fell into the trap and screamed, followed by several rays of light, a rain of arrows fell, Hao Zhao took eight hundred elites out of the city, just for a while, when he returned, there were only more than four hundred people left, and nearly half of them were lost.

Since the strong attack could not be carried out, Hao Zhao ordered people to dig tunnels in the city, preparing to touch the underside of those arrow towers through the tunnels and destroy the arrow towers.

This time it did have some effect, and more than 30 arrow towers were burned by Hao Zhao overnight, but his own damage was also quite serious, and Hao Zhao could only give up burning more arrow towers and retreat to the city.

It's just that what makes people desperate is that just a day has passed, the opponent's arrow tower has been erected again, looking at those arrow towers that have been rebuilt, Hao Zhao suddenly feels that the soldiers who died in the battle out of the city died very unjustly!
