On the battlefield of Guandu, Yuan's army built a dirt slope and condescendingly fired arrows at Cao's army.

Cao's soldiers also built earthen walls for defense.

Standing in the Chinese army, Cao Cao's face was very ugly.

It had been two or three months since the confrontation with Yuan Shao, and because the battle line was too far away from Xudu, it was very difficult to transport grain supplies.

Moreover, Yuan Jun was condescending, and he couldn't raise his head to beat Cao Jun.

Looking at the camp of the Yuan army, Cao Cao found that above the dirt slope, many wooden towers appeared.

The towers are not yet finished, they are all just frames.

Pointing to the tower, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia on the side, "Can Feng Xiao see what it is?" ”

"Yuan Jun should be planning to build the Arrow Tower." Guo Jia said: "They are already condescending, if the arrow tower is built by them again, our army is afraid that it will suffer a big loss." ”

Glancing at Guo Jia, Cao Cao's face became even more ugly and looked at the Yuan Army Arrow Tower under construction.

"Is Gong Cao worried that these arrow towers will cause great damage to our army?" Guo Jia asked.

"Condescendingly, how high do our troops have to build an earthen wall to resist enemy arrows?" Cao Cao said: "If we really let them build, we don't have to fight this battle." ”

"Cao Gong don't worry, there is someone who can break the enemy's arrow tower." Guo Jia said.

"Who?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"Zirong Gongzi." Guo Jia said: "When Gongzi attacked the city, he built a catapult. The catapult is very tall and accurate. If Gong Cao ordered Gongzi to build a more accurate catapult, he would definitely be able to destroy the enemy's arrow tower. ”

"I forgot how to melt the seeds." Cao Cao patted his head and said to Xu Chu: "Go and call Zirong, I have something to arrange for him to do." ”

Cao Shuo was also discussing with Sima Yi and Xu Shu how to withdraw from the army at this time.

Since he came here with his troops, Cao's army has launched several attacks on Yuan's army.

But after all, they had few people, and every attack was repulsed by Yuan's army.

The war is at a stalemate.

Cao Shuo didn't know that Yuan Jun would store grain in Wuchao, he also sent Huo Wu to investigate, but the result of the investigation was that Wuchao had no grain and grass at all, it was empty, and not even a Yuan army was seen.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Jun hadn't delivered the grain to Wuchao, or that history had changed because of his arrival.

The future battle is completely unknown to Cao Shuo.

"In the last few days, I have noticed that my father is very depressed." Cao Shuo said to Sima Yi and Xu Shu: "If this continues, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight." ”

"Childe don't be discouraged." Xu Shu said: "The Yuan army is now attacking on defense, just to drag down our army. Cao Gong was depressed because he hadn't had a decent win recently. If there is a small victory, Cao Gong will definitely be in a good mood. ”

"Not to mention that my father has sent troops to attack the enemy several times, even I ordered the soldiers to attack several times." Cao Shuo said: "Don't talk about the results, there is not even a little progress." It's the first time I've led the troops for so long, and it's really the first time I've encountered such a difficult opponent. ”

"Childe." Sima Yi said: "Why don't I lead the troops to kill?" ”

"Don't say one, even if it's ten kills, it won't help." Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers are now very tired from being busy defending, and if they are allowed to attack again, it will be nothing more than pushing them out and sending them to death." ”

"Is it possible to just wait like this?" Sima Yi asked.

Cao Shuo frowned and did not say a word.

Since he fled from Wancheng, in the past three years, he has led his troops to fight many times, and he has never encountered anything more troublesome than this time.

Just when Cao Shuo didn't think about how to deal with it, Xu Chu's voice came from outside the tent: "Is Zirong Gongzi here?" ”

"Brother Zhongkang." Hearing that it was Xu Chu, Cao Shuo said, "Please come in and speak." ”

"I'm not going in." Xu Chu replied: "Gong Cao asked Gongzi to come over." ”

Sima Yi and Xu Shu both looked at Cao Shuo, their faces confused.

Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to the two of them: "The opportunity to win the battle has come." ”

"How did Childe know that there was a chance?" Xu Shu said: "Could it be that Cao Gong is going to attack again?" ”

"Definitely not." Cao Shuo said: "Our army is small, although there have been several attacks before, but it has not been effective at all, and my father will never let the soldiers continue to send them to death." He must have found out that Yuan Jun had a new deployment, so he let me go. As long as Yuan Jun changes, we have a chance! ”

Cao Shuo's statement, Xu Shu and Sima Yi both thought so.

The two of them got up and sent Cao Shuo out of the tent.

Seeing Xu Chu, Cao Shuo asked, "My father asked me to go, is there something to order?" ”

"Yuan's army built an arrow tower on an earthen slope in an attempt to shoot our army from a high position." Xu Chu said: "Cao Gong invited Gongzi over because Guo Gong recommended him on the side, saying that Gongzi had a way to break through the enemy's arrow tower. ”

"So, I'm glad I'm here." Cao Shuo grinned and said to Xu Chu, "Trouble Brother Zhongkang to lead the way." ”

"Childe really has a way to break the enemy's arrow tower?" Accompanying Cao Shuo to Cao Cao's side, Xu Chu asked.

"What's so difficult about the little arrow tower?" Cao Shuo said: "As much as they make, we will knock it out." ”

Xu Chu looked dazed.

He knew that Cao Shuo had always been arrogant in his words, but every time Cao Shuo said that he wanted to do something, he could finally complete it, and he couldn't believe it.

Accompanying Cao Shuo to Cao Cao's side, Xu Chu hugged his fists and said, "Qi Cao Gong, Zirong Gongzi is here." ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao nodded, then pointed to the arrow tower on the dirt slope and asked: "The enemy army built the arrow tower and planned to shoot our army condescendingly, what way does Zi Rong have to break him?" ”

"There are many ways to do it, depending on what kind of effect my father intends to achieve." Cao Shuo said: "If my father just wants to defend, let the soldiers rebuild the earthen wall out of the enemy's range. If Father was going to knock out their towers, we would have to build something that would break them. ”

"Catapult?" Cao Cao asked.

"Catapults certainly won't work." Cao Shuo said: "The range of the catapult is too long, and the accuracy is very poor, it can be used to siege the city, and it can be used to hit the enemy's arrow tower, because the target is too small, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

"I also talked to Cao Gong about this just now." Guo Jia said: "I wonder if Gongzi has a way to build a weapon that can accurately hit the arrow tower?" ”

"Does Guo Gong already have a plan?" Cao Shuo asked with a grin.

"I've told you what I'm going to do, but I don't know how to build these strange things." Guo Jia said: "Everything has to rely on Gongzi. ”

"Since it was recommended by Guo Gong, I have a reluctant request." Cao Shuo said to Cao Cao: "Please also ask my father's permission for Guo Gong to help me build new weapons to use to break the enemy's arrow tower." ”

"Fengxiao, I'm tired." Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guo Jia.
