At the same time as Gongsun Kang of Liaodong attacked Youzhou, Cao Cao also fell into the well and crossed the Yellow River while the fire was looting and attacked Jizhou.

At first, it was very smooth, but with the cooperation of Wang Daochang and the brave fighting of the generals of the Cao army, Yuan's army was defeated and retreated until Yecheng.

Then, Cao Cao met stubborn resistance.

When he came to Yecheng, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun to call for battle.

Yuan Jun didn't pay attention to him, closed the city gates, and never went to war!

Cao Cao was helpless, set up a camp, buried the pot and cooked.

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, the siege began.

Last time in White Horse City, it was the heavenly soldiers and generals of the royal road who made great contributions. Defeated Yuan Shao.

So this time, Wang Daochang is ready to repeat his old tricks. The practice of opening the altar again.

What he didn't know was that Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Xianpei, Feng Ji, Xu You and others were all holding a copy of the "Guiding Rules for Demon Warfare" produced by Liaodong and studying it.

"Prepare the blood of the black dog; Chicken blood, duck blood, and women's filth are also fine. Xu You shook his head and said.

"It's ready," Koji replied arrogantly: "My 800 first soldiers and 3,000 strong crossbows are all waiting for Cao Cao Lao'er to attack the city."

In this life, Yuan Shang is relatively lucky. His luck lies in the fact that Yan Liangwen is ugly, Gao Lan, and Zhang He's four pillars are all alive. And Koji Yi was not killed by his father.

Now the four pillars are all in other states, and it is all up to Koji to defend the city.

Wang Daochang stood in Cao Cao's camp, standing on the field that had been arranged a long time ago, spreading his hair, barefoot, stepping on the Big Dipper, and began to practice.

The wind began to rise in the city of Yecheng. The wind gradually became stronger, and the sand and rocks were flying. but they only scraped towards the city.

The soldiers of Yecheng swayed in the wind, and they couldn't stand steadily.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered his men to immediately carry dirt bags and take the opportunity to fill the moat.

At this time, there was another change in the city. I saw that in the black air in the sky, rolling people and horses fell from the sky, accompanied by wind and thunder, they all fell on the head of the city, and killed the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army.

Ju Yi smiled coldly and released the cannon. The soldiers in the city threw out the blood of horses, dogs, and all kinds of filth that they had prepared in advance.

But when they saw the paper men and horses in the air, they fell to the ground one after another. The heavenly soldiers and generals disappeared one after another, never to be seen again. The black wind suddenly extinguished, and the sand and gravel did not fly.

The soldiers of the Yuan army cheered, celebrating that this method could break the demon's spell.

The royal Taoist in Cao Cao's camp spat out a mouthful of blood, and he didn't need to go out of the tent to see it, he knew that the spell of the heavenly soldiers and generals had been broken again!

As soon as the spell broke, Cao Cao's soldiers who were filling the river leaked out under the noses of Yuan Jun.

The moat was only a dozen feet away from the city wall, so Ju Yi ordered all the soldiers to shoot arrows in unison.

At all, it needs to be aimed, and ten thousand arrows are fired at once, and each Cao army can spread more than a dozen arrows.

In a moment, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who were carrying bags of dirt, fell one after another with arrows, and they couldn't run.

This burst of wild shooting killed more than 2,000 Cao soldiers.

Cao Cao was furious and ordered the siege of the city with bed crossbows and stone throwers.

The walls of Yecheng were transformed into stone walls a year ago. It is 9 meters high and 6 meters wide.

The bed crossbow and stone thrower smashed it like a child tickling. The walls of the city did not move.

Cao Hong said: "It's better for us to besiege the city and starve them to death!" ”

Liu Ye, who was in a wheelchair, smiled bitterly: "The food in Yecheng is enough for the people in the city to eat for three years. In less than three years, as long as half a year, if we don't starve them to death, we will be starved to death! ”

At this time, I saw Ju Yi standing on the head of the city, laughing and saying, "Do you have a bed crossbow and a stone thrower?" ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Yuan army uncovered the sackcloth, revealing bed crossbows and stone throwers flashing with cold and cold light.

These siege machinery were learned by frustrating the Liaodong Army for more than three months, openly and covertly.

What he learned was the third generation of machinery, or the principle of levers, which was very simple and could be imitated at a glance.

However, these bed crossbows and stone throwers are placed on the 9-meter-high city wall, and the projectile distance and projectile strength are far greater than Cao Cao's machinery.

All Ju Yi gave an order, and the machinery in the city aimed at Cao Cao's machinery and smashed it.

In an uproar, Cao's armament was caught off guard, not only the bed crossbow and stone thrower were smashed in half; Even the soldiers who operated the machinery were stoned to death and wounded.

A howl of pain resounded on the battlefield, accompanied by Yuan Jun's smug laughter.

Cao Cao had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

The next day, Wang Daochang did it again. Lightning and thunder, storms and rains.

Ju Yi was prepared. The soldiers of the Yuan army were hiding in the city stomping, inside the castle. Everyone also wore a coat, poncho, tarpaulin and other rainproof items.

I have to say that the "Guiding Rules for Demon War" produced by Liaodong is too detailed, and every detail, every possibility, and every coping method have been written. Now Yuan Jun just needs to follow the methods in the book.

Cao Jun pushed out the siege vehicle, hit the wooden car, and went to siege the city again.

Yuan Jun did not have fire oil, but they had rapeseed oil, lard. Saving on use, just to burn the wooden car, it is still enough.

Cao Jun did not have any scruples about his compatriots struggling in the fire, and rushed to climb the city wall through siege vehicles.

At this time, it is the time for the 800 pioneers to show their talents. I saw them jumping east and west, and they were extremely flexible to engage Cao Jun. Sometimes he fought alone, sometimes he worked in groups of two or three, and he quickly killed Cao Jun to the ground.

The ordinary soldiers of the Yuan army lifted the rolling wood and stones to smash the siege vehicles, as well as the Cao soldiers who were climbing on the siege ladder.

Some soldiers of the Yuan Army lifted the boiling gold juice and poured it directly.

The hot Cao soldiers were covered in bubbles, crying for their fathers and mothers.

This gold juice is very toxic, and these Cao soldiers who were scalded were infected with the virus in this way, and they were basically dead and hopeless.

In terms of the number of troops, Cao Cao brought 60,000 soldiers and horses this time; And the soldiers of the Yuan army in Yecheng are 100,000, which definitely exceeds the Cao army.

They were in an advantageous position to defend the city, and if nothing else, Cao Cao would not be able to defeat them at all.

Cao Cao frowned and besieged Yecheng for a month. Attacking every day, losing troops every day, without any progress.

Liu Ye sat in a wheelchair every day, walking around, and Cao Cao knew that he was inspecting the terrain, so he waited for him to come and offer advice.

said that on this day, Liu Ye came to Cao Cao's big tent and took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, the lord has a plan to offer." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Ziyang has a clever plan, come quickly." ”

Liu Ye smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Near Yecheng, there is a Zhanghe River, and the water level is relatively high. We can dig up the Zhanghe River and flood Yecheng! ”

Cao Hong had some doubts, he said: "The walls of Yecheng are tall enough, and even if the Zhanghe River is dug up, it will only submerge the farmland on both sides of the river bank and the thatched houses of the low people outside the city." ”

Liu Ye twisted his beard and pretended to be profound: "Ye watched the sky at night, there will be heavy rain recently, we will build a dam in advance to hold back the embankment." When the time comes, if you dig it again, you will definitely be able to flood Yecheng. ”
