Liu Beijun began to attack the city under the leadership of Ma Chao, and the foot soldiers carried the ladder and quickly pushed forward, and when they came to the edge of the moat, there was a rain of arrows at the head of the city, and many people fell to the ground in an instant. At this time, someone shouted: "Raise your shield!" The running soldiers drew their shields from behind them and raised them above their heads with one hand, and then carried the ladder and ran forward.

After paying the price of hundreds of people, the ladder was finally leaned against the city wall. Liu Beijun's soldiers desperately crawled towards the city at this time.

However, Yuan Shaojun at the head of the city had already made full preparations, and they actually threw down the rolling logs. The soldier who was climbing the ladder was instantly smashed down by the rolling log.

Ma Chao really saw it in the formation, and when he saw Yuan Jun, he let go of the wood! He frowned suddenly, this time the first round was to use a rolling log? Why is Yuan Shaojun so anxious, could it be that they have prepared something else?

Throughout the morning, Liu Beijun was never able to capture the city. At noon, Ma Chao ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, so Liu Beijun retreated after throwing down the corpses on the ground. Ma Chao returned to the big tent to resume his life, Liu Bei didn't say much, just encouraged him twice.

At this time, Ma Chao was puzzled: "Is there any other way to break the city?" Why did you not punish me when I led my army to attack without success today? ”

Liu Bei laughed and said: "Meng Qi, don't worry, I'm a celebrity to make a siege weapon, which can be built as soon as tomorrow, and then I will let the Yuan army taste the power of our army, so you don't have to attack too fiercely in the past two days." ”

Ma Chao nodded after hearing this: "It turns out that the lord has already made a plan, but I am worried in vain today." ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Jia Xu interjected on the side: "What is General Meng Qi worried about? Let's hear it! ”

"Actually, it's nothing, as soon as Yuan Jun joined the battle today, he put down the rolling wood, so I think they must have a more powerful backhand than the rolling wood!" Ma Chao looked at Jia Xu after speaking.

When Jia Xu heard what Ma Chao said, he immediately frowned and said, "General Meng Qi, what you said is very right. Yuan Shaojun must still have a back hand, otherwise this rolling wood will definitely be left for use when it should be used. This matter needs to be paid more attention, and I will go with you tomorrow when the city is attacked. ”

In the next day, Ma Chao led the army to attack the city again. Jia Xu rode his horse beside him to watch the army attack the city. With the lesson of yesterday, the soldiers began to advance with their shields on their shoulders, and sure enough, there were far fewer people who were hit by arrows than yesterday. In a short time the soldiers ran across the moat, and then they gathered under the walls, and waited for the ladder to reach the walls before they began to climb to the top of the city.

At this moment, several clay pots suddenly came down from the city, and the clay pots did not hit anyone, but the jars broke and a lot of liquid flowed out of them. At this time, someone shouted: "This is the oil run!" ”

Before the soldiers under the city could react, several rockets were shot down from the city. The fire oil in the ground was ignited in an instant, and the oil-assisted fire suddenly enveloped these Liu Beijun soldiers under the city.

Ma Chao saw that it was not good, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and all the soldiers on this side of the moat retreated, but the people who jumped over the moat were all buried in the fire. This time the losses were somewhat heavy, and Ma Chao no longer had the intention of attacking the city, so he returned to the camp with his men and horses. Up to this point, the fire had not been extinguished.

Back in the barracks, Liu Bei frowned a little when he heard Jia Xu and Ma Chao's reports, rolling wood and fire oil were used as the last backhand, but he didn't expect Yuan Jun to use them so early. But this is all about to come to an end, and the craftsmen have already worked overtime to make three improved catapults, so that Yuan Jun can taste the coming of the boulder tomorrow.

On the third day, Liu Bei personally led the army out of the camp. Three catapults were pushed to the front by the soldiers. Then under the protection of Zhang Fei's cavalry, it was pushed all the way to a place a hundred meters away from the moat. Arrows from the city could not reach it, but stones from catapults could hit the top of the city.

Liu Beijun's soldiers brought a lot of huge stones and put them on the catapult. Liu Bei looked at the city head opposite, and then gave an order, and the boulder rose into the air and smashed towards the city.

The Yuan army at the head of the city was suddenly shocked, and they all lowered their bodies and hid behind the battlements of the city wall. Seeing that the three big stones were all smashed on the city wall, the ground shook for a while, and the city wall was smashed deep inward.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at the powerful catapult, and at this time he remembered Han Fei, the little military master who invented it. At that moment, he secretly made up his mind and said: "We must break this city as soon as possible and quickly send troops to help the second brother and Zicong." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately ordered to shoot again, and the three catapults fired another round of boulders, and this time a boulder was shot at the head of the city. The boulder crushed several people to death in one fell swoop, then rolled around the city and fell into the middle of the city. Seeing the soldiers in the Boulder City falling from the sky, they were also shocked.

The other two boulders hit the wall again, and several huge cracks appeared in the wall. Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "Shoot according to the city wall, and tear down the city wall for me first!" ”

After listening to Liu Bei's words, the catapult adjusted its angle again, and the three boulders rose into the air again and shot towards the city wall. I only heard a loud bang on the ground, and the city wall was really smashed open by the boulder. The crack went from the bottom to the top, and two of the soldiers at the head of the city fell through the crack and were killed on the spot.

There was a cheer in Liu Beijun's army. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao couldn't wait to immediately lead people to rush in and fight. At this time, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, shoot another round." After saying that, he gave the order to shoot again, and there was another round of boulder attacks, and the city wall was completely overwhelmed, and a whole large area collapsed.

At this time, Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei: "Don't fight after rushing in, and don't let the guards leave your side." There is also a move to tell me that Yuan Shao grabbed. ”

Zhang Fei was already impatient at this time, and when he heard Liu Bei's approval, he rushed out first, and the reporter and his personal guards and the team also rushed out. Straight to the big gap in the wall.

Through the gap, you can see that the city is in a mess at this time, and the destructive power of the boulder is amazing, and several houses have been destroyed by the boulder. After Zhang Fei led people to rush into the city, he immediately opened the deformed gate, and Ma Chao also led the cavalry to rush in outside the door.

Zhang Fei saw that Ma Chao also rushed in at this time, and he yelled at the moment: "Sons and daughters shout faster than me: Capture Yuan Shao alive!" ”

With Zhang Fei's order, he suddenly remembered a piece of "Capture Yuan Shao alive!" Voice. At this time, Yuan Shao did not escape, but lived with a sword, staring at the direction where the city wall was opened. Then he said, "Let all the first dead soldiers go up!" I want to see how many of Liu Bei's troops who entered the city this time can escape from the city alive. ”
