The owner of the cave was taken out by Deng Zhan.

Huang Zhong asked Cao Shuo: "The lord doesn't really want to humiliate him?" ”

"There are many officers and soldiers in the army, and there will inevitably be a few heavy tastes." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If he really doesn't cooperate, I really have the possibility to give him to those soldiers for entertainment." ”

Huang Zhong was stunned.

He didn't expect that Cao Shuo would actually deal with the captured enemy generals like this.

Since Huang Zhong led his troops to conquer, he had only heard that captured enemy soldiers were sometimes slaughtered or even dismembered and given to the soldiers for recreation.

"It's not early, so Hansheng should rest." Cao Shuo gestured to Huang Zhong and reminded: "We will attack the city early tomorrow morning." ”

With Cao Shuo's permission, Huang Zhong was ready to attack the city.

He also knew very well that if he didn't sleep well at night, he wouldn't expect to sleep again until the next day when the cannon roared.

What's more, we have to break through Jiaozhi tomorrow......

Huang Zhong got up: "I'll retire first." ”

When Huang Zhong left, Cao Shuo also followed out of the handsome account.

He looked in the direction of Cochin for a long time, but did not return to the tent.

Zhu Ao, who was by his side, reminded: "Lord, it's not early, it's time to go back and rest." ”

"You say, tomorrow our army will attack the city, can we capture Zhu Rong?" Cao Shuo asked him.

Zhu Ao replied: "Their elephants are all made of meat and tusks, and in front of our army, the barbarians are like straw, and it will definitely not be a problem to break through Cochin." ”

"You're optimistic." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "But I always feel that tomorrow's battle is not so easy to fight, although our army is strong, but Zhu Rong is not easy to entangle after all." It's easy to break through Jiaozhi, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to capture her. ”

"Can you catch her, and we'll see you tomorrow?" Zhu Ao said: "The lord doesn't have to take it to heart, let's rest first." ”

What Zhu Ao said also made some sense, Cao Shuo nodded, turned around and walked into the tent.

That night, nothing happened.

The corpses of the barbarians had been buried by the Wei army, and the corpses of the war elephants had been cut into pieces and became meat for the Wei army's military reserves.

The tranquility of the night, with the first rays of morning light spreading over the earth, was broken by the busy Wei army.

Smoke was rising from the Wei barracks, and the soldiers were already making fires.

There was never a shortage of food in Cao Shuo's army, and the soldiers had three meals a day, a lot of meals.

This is also what other soldiers under the command of heroes envy when they once fought in the Central Plains.

Smoke rose from the Wei military camp outside the city, but the barbarians in the city had no intention of eating breakfast at all.

Living in the wilderness, the barbarians often eat the last meal without the next, and they have long been accustomed to the days when they do not eat in the morning.

The smoke of the Wei army gradually dissipated, and the soldiers began to eat.

Although the soldiers had already risen, the two sides remained relatively calm, and no one broke it.

At the head of Jiaozhi City, looking at the Wei army camp, Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "It's not good, the enemy army plans to attack the city." ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Zhu Rong hurriedly asked, "Are they going to fire again?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not just a cannon." Zhuge Liang said: "Please also ask the king to give an order as soon as possible, let the warriors hide well, and when the cannon stops, the enemy will attack." ”

The night before, Zhuge Liang reminded Zhu Rong that he must not let the elephant soldiers out of the city.

Zhu Rong was about to order the cave master to return, but the elephant soldiers had already been killed at that time.

Bombarded by the Wei army, hundreds of war elephants died on the battlefield, and the elephant soldiers were almost wiped out.

The few elephants that returned were all wounded and could not continue to fight at all.

Without the elephants, it would be twice as difficult for the barbarian warriors to defend the city.

Zhu Rong instructed the barbarians on the side: "Go and tell the warriors to hide them all, don't run out and walk around!" ”

The order was given, and the barbarians took refuge in the hiding place that Zhuge Liang had chosen for them.

It didn't take long for the Wei artillery to open fire again.

The loud bang was deafening.

The barbarians, who had experienced several shellings, were accustomed to this.

They hid in places where shells could not easily hit them, waiting for the shelling to end.

The shelling continued for a whole day, and when the sound of artillery ceased to sound, the smoke of gunfire was already in the air inside and outside the city walls.

The artillery fired all day, Huang Zhong looked at the Jiaozhi City filled with gunsmoke, he picked up his knife and got on his horse, and shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers, kill me!" ”

With Huang Zhong's order, the Wei soldiers who had been prepared for a long time poured into Jiaozhi City like a tide.

The Wei army launched an attack, and the barbarians in the city hurriedly responded.

The barbarians, who had taken refuge from the shelling, ran up to the city and towards the gates where the gates had collapsed.

The barbarians were ready for battle, and the artillery of the Wei army on the opposite side opened fire again.

The cannonballs flew over the heads of the charging Wei soldiers and fell towards the city of Jiaozhi.

The barbarians gathered near the city and the city gates could not hide, and they were bombarded by the shells and scurried around.

The barbarians' defense was once again disrupted by the Wei army, and Huang Zhong, who was in the charge, pointed forward: "Kill with me!" ”

When the Wei army was about to rush under the city walls, the shelling stopped again.

The barbarians defending the city had not yet recovered from the panic caused by the shelling, and many of them were still holding their heads to dodge the shells that were no longer flying.

Huang Zhong was the first to enter the city gate, and the tide of Wei troops followed him and poured in.

The barbarians on the city wall did not have a chance to cast arrows at the city, because in front of their eyes, countless Wei troops took the ladder and pushed the siege tower, and launched an offensive to ascend the city.

The two sides fought in Jiaozhi City, and Huang Zhong brandished a large sword to slash the barbarian warriors who stood in his way.

Although he is old, when he fights, it is like returning to his youth.

The barbarians in front of him were cut down to the ground, and the Wei army that followed Huang Zhong also hit the barbarians who blocked them from entering the city like a torrent.

The artillery bombardment gave the Wei army the best cover, and the Wei army, which had ascended the city, climbed up with little effort.

At the head of the city and in the cave of the city gate, both sides shouted and killed, and each other struggled forward.

In the middle of the Wei army, Cao Shuo stationed in Ma stood under the banner of Shuai.

Looking at the battle ahead, he said to the generals beside him: "Huang Han has been promoted to the first soldier, after this battle, I am afraid that the barbarians will tremble when they mention his name." Who of you will say that he is too old to go into battle and kill the enemy? ”

"General Huang is brave, who dares to say him?" Xiahoudun said: "I didn't dare to imagine that at his age, he could still charge on the battlefield. ”

"One year old and one year old, if Huang Hansheng is fifty years younger, then he still has it?" Ma Chao next to him also said: "If he is the same age as me, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent." ”
