The battle continued, and it didn't take long for Cao's army to cross the moat and set up a ladder directly at the foot of the city wall.

During this period, there was only one boulder, which smashed directly above the city wall, causing a lot of casualties.

Although the hit rate is not high, the boulders are flying all over the sky, and they still divide the hearts of many garrison soldiers.

Later, because of the fall of the boulder, when the guards were changed and repaired, the soldiers under the city wall were seriously affected and the guards were changed.

Zhao Feng finally knew why Tai Shici often said before that he was almost captured by Cao's army several times.

Because the change of defense is carried out in a unified manner according to the establishment.

Sometimes, due to luck, a certain change of defense may not be on the city wall to change defense, but it is hit by two boulders in a row, directly causing a large number of casualties.

After going up to the city wall, the number of guards in this formation will be much less than that of other formations, so crises are frequent.

In such a situation, if you disrupt the establishment and directly transfer personnel from the back establishment, then there will be omissions in the later establishment.

In the first few times, you may be able to rely on the scheduling level of the generals to deal with it, but after a long time, the scheduling is too frequent, and once a certain place is not well connected, it will have a significant impact.

Even if Tai Shici is powerful and can cope with the first round of scheduling, what about the second round?

After that, there is a third round, a fourth round.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Tai Shi Ci can only take some of the guards and soldiers to fight in person for a while to relieve the pressure on the city wall.

After two rounds, the wounded soldiers are eliminated and then partially reorganized.

Of course, Tai Shici's approach is to divide the female soldiers into groups of 200 people, and in the event of an emergency, the female soldiers will be temporarily replaced.

Zhao Feng didn't know how long he had been on the city wall.

At this time, a soldier dressed as a sentry cavalry ran behind Zhao Feng and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi!" ”

"General Zhao, General Wei, and General Xiong asked their subordinates to report that they had left the barracks and would arrive at the left and right flanks of Xinzheng in a few moments."

Zhao Feng didn't look back, just waved his hand back, indicating that he already knew, and let the sentry retreat directly.

The reason why this is so is because Zhao Feng needs to keep an eye on Cao Jun's movements, after all, success or failure is here.

Once Cao Cao saw the appearance of cavalry, he either chose to retreat slowly, or chose to increase the number of soldiers, and strive to solve all problems in a war.

If you choose to withdraw your troops slowly, it is to do a good job of preventing the pursuit of cavalry, and Zhao Feng's cavalry will not be able to pursue, even if they pursue, they will not be able to catch up with any results.

But Cao Cao is the most hopeful, the first war to solve the war in Henan Yin, all Zhao Feng and others think that Cao Cao will be more likely to put an additional army.

As soon as Cao Cao added an additional army, Zhao Feng could let the catapults start smashing Cao's army.

After that, Cao Jun was smashed and dizzy, and at that time, when the army was withdrawn, it would be more chaotic.

In this way, the cavalry can go in pursuit and get major results!

If Cao Cao chooses to withdraw his troops now, then Zhao Feng is also willing to spend it with Cao Cao like this.

Anyway, he can afford it, but Cao Cao can't afford it!

In addition, after Cao Cao added a large army, Zhao Feng's side began to let the catapults start throwing stones, and he was able to force Cao Cao to make a choice.

At that time, if Cao Cao wanted to storm Xinzheng, he would suffer heavy losses, and if he wanted to withdraw his troops and rearrange other plans, he would still be in a stalemate after that, which would be unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Or just take a gamble with the entire army!

Anyway, no matter what the situation is, it is beneficial to Zhao Feng.

It didn't take long for a smile to appear on the corner of Zhao Feng's mouth.

Because as he and Xu Shu analyzed, Cao Cao decided to increase the investment of soldiers, hoping to win Xinzheng in the first battle!

After all, Xinzheng looks like it may be smashed at any time, maybe the next boulder hits the city wall, and the city wall can be smashed, and there is still a lot of hope.

At this time, once he chooses to withdraw his troops, although he can control the losses of the army, he will also stalemate with Zhao Feng.

The situation is moving in the direction predicted by Zhao Feng.

Xu Shu looked at the herald behind him: "Go and order Shao Kang, the catapult is ready to start throwing stones!" ”

The herald arched his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

Although the order was given by Xu Shu, Xu Shu did not have an official position after all.

The reason why the herald received the order was entirely in the presence of Zhao Feng.

If Zhao Feng was not there, Xu Shu's order and the herald would not pay attention to it at all.

A moment later, the large army that Cao's army had launched after quickly rushed to the vicinity of the moat, causing the Cao army near the moat to appear very dense.

At this time, Zhao Feng heard a whistling sound from behind.

When I turned my head to look, I saw a large number of irregular boulders, which began to roar from behind.

In addition, two of these boulders are significantly larger than the others, and they are much taller.

In just the blink of an eye, these boulders all smashed into the front of the moat about ten paces, causing a large number of casualties to Cao's army in an instant.

Judging from the precise landing, Zhao Feng's catapult, I don't know how many streets Cao Cao's catapult was thrown out.

Even Tai Shici secretly exclaimed when he saw it: "Amazing! ”

After that, the boulder rolled in the direction of Cao Jun, causing a lot of casualties along the way.

Among them, the largest boulder in those two moments caused the most damage!

Xu Shu fixed his eyes and said with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, Shu made a rude calculation, and this round of stone throwing caused thousands of deaths and injuries to the Cao army!" ”

Zhao Feng secretly calculated in his heart that almost every moment of the boulder caused more than ten casualties.

Of course, the largest boulder at those two moments should have caused more than 20 casualties.

A moment later, another round of boulders whizzed overhead.

This time, judging from the visual inspection, there were not as many casualties as the first time.

Because the Cao army in the rear, after seeing the boulder landing, will avoid it accordingly.

The soldiers on the city walls, on the other hand, looked worried, always looking back from time to time.

Zhao Feng hurriedly reminded Tai Shici: "Ziyi, tell the soldiers, don't worry about the boulders in the rear." ”

"Our boulder is different from Cao Jun, it won't hit its own people!"

Zhao Feng also understands this, after all, the soldiers can see the boulder thrown from Cao Jun with their peripheral vision, know how far away this stone is from themselves, and can confirm that this stone will not hit him.

And the stone in the back, that's not possible!

Because of Cao Jun's side, there have been several cases where stones were directly smashed outside the city, killing many of their own people.

This happens, especially in the afternoon, more often.

Now Zhao Feng's side also began to fight back with catapults, who knows when, the boulder thrown by his own people will hit his head?
