Cao Jun began to attack the city for more than ten days, but never half of the soldiers rushed to the city gate.

Only countless boulders flew towards Jixian County.

The heavy city wall was loosened a lot by the boulders, and Yuan Jun, who was defending the city, felt that the city wall seemed to be shaking slightly when he stood at the head of the city.

Sitting behind the battlements, feeling the tremor of the boulder hitting the city wall, Yuan Shang shouted to Yuan Xi on the side: "Second brother, I think Cao Zirong will attack the city only if the city wall collapses." ”

"You know more about him than I do." Yuan Xi shouted, "You should know what he will do next." ”

"I think catapults will keep throwing stones." Yuan Shang shouted, "We still have to make plans early and prepare to leave here." ”

"Are you sure we can't hold Jixian?" Yuan Xi shouted and asked.

Yuan Shang did not answer.

The boulder bombarded the city wall, and if he responded in a low voice, Yuan Xi wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

If he shouted, it was inevitable that some soldiers would hear it.

Even the main generals had no hope of defending the city, let alone the soldiers.

His words are likely to cause panic among the officers and soldiers defending the city.

Just when Yuan Xi was waiting for Yuan Shang to answer, but Yuan Shang did not respond, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.

Then they saw a wall collapse down.

The Yuan army on the city wall was smashed into the rubble with the collapse of the city wall, and instantly became a lump of broken meat.

The smoke and dust obscured Cao Jun's vision, and the catapult was still throwing stones.

Yuan Xi shouted to Yuan Shang: "The city wall has collapsed, quickly go down to the city, prepare troops and horses to prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy!" ”

Yuan Shang answered, and just about to stand up and sit down again.

The boulder whistling overhead flew by without the slightest intention of stopping.

He shouted to Yuan Xi: "The enemy still throws stones, and we can't get up at all." ”

At the head of the city, the brothers of the Yuan family were ready for a decisive battle, and in front of the Cao army array, Cao Shuo was riding on horseback and looking at the city wall filled with heavy smoke and dust.

He faintly heard a loud sound that was not quite the same as the bombardment of a boulder.

Cao Shuo raised his hand and instructed to the side: "Pass the order to go down and suspend the throwing of stones." ”

The order was given, and the catapult quickly stopped.

As the catapult stopped, the smoke that permeated the perimeter of the city walls gradually cleared.

When the smoke and dust receded, Cao Shuo saw a gap in the city wall.

"Childe, it's time to attack!" Seeing the gap, Zhang Yan said: "I will definitely be able to take Jixian County for my son in one fell swoop." ”

"There's no hurry." Cao Shuo commanded again: "Continue to throw stones." ”

The city wall has been blasted out of the gap, but Cao Shuo is not in a hurry to attack the city, Zhang Yan looked at him in confusion and asked, "Childe, why don't you attack the city yet?" ”

"At this time to attack the city, the enemy army must be ready." Cao Shuo said: "The discipline of the Montenegrin army is really not good, and it is difficult for the soldiers to maintain the array when they charge. Once the enemy army fires thousands of arrows, I don't know how many people will die on the way to the charge. The boulder bombarded for a while, and when the smoke and dust rose up, our troops launched a charge, and the enemy could not see clearly the target to be shot. ”

Zhang Yan suddenly understood why Cao Shuo was not in a hurry to attack the city, it turned out that he was worried that the soldiers would suffer too many casualties on the way to charge.

Cao Shuo's next sentence made Zhang Yan understand that he was not only worried about the loss of soldiers, but also took into account other things.

"I ordered the bombardment to stop just now, and the enemy must have taken advantage of this time to deal with it." Cao Shuo continued: "If you rush up at this time, even if you reach the gap, it will be a hard battle. It's better to bombard again, scatter the enemy army, and then launch a charge. ”

Cao Jun's boulder flew towards the Jixian city wall again.

Cao Shuo, who was watching from afar, seemed to hear a miserable howl coming from the smoke and dust.

He still did not give the order to attack.

Knowing that the boulder had been bombarded for half an hour, Cao Shuo shouted: "While the smoke and dust have not dispersed, the Montenegrin army will attack!" ”

Zhang Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, got the order and rushed out with his weapon on horseback.

More than 30,000 Montenegrin troops flocked to Jixian County like a tide.

When the Montenegrin army was about to rush to the city wall, the catapult of the Cao army stopped.

As the smoke cleared, Cao Shuo saw the Black Mountain Army soldiers rushing into the city through the gap that had been blasted out.

"Childe, the Black Mountain Army rushed in." Tian Feng asked Cao Shuo, "Do you want to ......?"

"Yes, of course!" Without waiting for Tian Feng to finish speaking, Cao Shuo said: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack and occupy Jixian County as quickly as possible." ”

With Cao Shuo's order, the 30,000 standing army immediately slaughtered out, followed closely behind the Black Mountain Army and rushed to the collapsed city wall.

Standing in the Chinese army, looking at the city wall of Jixian County, it didn't take long for Cao Shuo to see the gate of Jixian County being opened from the inside.

"Jixian County has been breached." He said to the people around him, "Let's go into the city and have a look." ”

"Childe." Tian Feng persuaded: "Jixian County has just been breached, and the two sides are still fighting in the city, so it's better to wait a little longer." ”

"What are you worried about?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"I didn't worry about anything." Tian Feng said: "I'm just worried about the safety of my son. ”

"Don't worry!" Cao Shuo urged the horse forward, and he said to Tian Feng, who was following behind: "It has been a while since the soldiers entered the city, and at this time, even if the enemy army has not been completely wiped out, at least most of them have been lost. The battle will be over tonight at most, so what do I have to worry about? ”

Following behind Cao Shuo, Tian Feng didn't say anything more.

As they entered the city, they heard shouts of killing coming from the city.

It's just that the shouting of killing is not very close to the breached city wall, and it is obvious that Cao's army has advanced to the depth of Jixian County.

Cao Shuo asked Tian Feng: "If you get Youzhou, where do you plan to use it as a place of governance?" ”

"Returning to the childe." Tian Feng said: "I plan to go to Yuyang. It is closer to the north, and the contact with the foreign races is also closer, and the governance of Youzhou there can make me always remember that there are still foreign races in the north that are eyeing our Central Plains. ”

"Eyeing the Tiger." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Don't let them look at you, I'll kill them first when I have free time." ”

"If someone else says the same thing, I'm afraid few people will believe it." Tian Feng replied: "But when the son said it, no one would believe it." ”

"Why?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Gongzi had led a large army into the Hetao before, and the Southern Xiongnu were almost wiped out, just ask the world, who else dares not to believe in Gongzi?" Tian Feng replied.

"That's it!" Cao Shuo said without modesty: "Essay on martial arts, there are really few people in the world who can compare with me." Of course, except for my father, if he hadn't been born and raised well, how could I be such a powerful character? ”

Tian is plump with black lines, and this son really can't stand the praise.

When others say two words to him, not only will he not shirk at all, but he will also take the words and praise himself a few words......
