The wall of Wanzhongling, only about a mile long, is built between the slopes and ridges, connecting the mountains on both sides, making it a barrier.

The mountains on both sides, although not too high, are also dense forests, and it is extremely difficult to pass through. What's more, there is a military village built by the Cao army on the mountain, and there are military horses stationed there, if you attack Wanzhongling from the direction of Bishui Pass, the Cao army of the military village on the mountain can also quickly kill from the passage in the dense forest that they opened out in advance at any time.

Anyway, the various military villages of the Cao army can echo each other and become horns for each other, which will bring great trouble to the attack of the New Han Army.

And it was quite difficult for the New Han Army to attack Cao's military fortress from the secret passage in the mountains and forests carved out by Cao's army, because everything was under the supervision of Cao's sergeants. Therefore, if you want to seize the pass of Wanzhongling, you can only attack head-on.

Three miles away in front of Wanzhongling Pass, Wen Chou and Li Ling led the army to set up a formation, and tens of thousands of soldiers set up a military formation and hunted with flags.

At the gate, Cao Jun also moved frequently, moving frequently in the wall, ready to counterattack.

Wen Chou didn't come forward to fight, because it was meaningless. There have been many exploratory attacks earlier, and they have also fought with Cao Jun's generals, at this time, Xu Fei still has Cao Jun's generals in the mountains, otherwise, they will not fight easily.

Wen Chou hung the spear on the back of his horse and took out a longbow.

Li Ling ordered someone to take a cluster of arrows from the side, and solemnly handed it to Wen Chou's hand and said: "General Wen Chou, this is the kind of rocket with black oil that we specially asked for from the lord, whether it can break through the Wanzhong Ridge level depends on whether these rockets can play a role." ”

"Hey, hey. General Li Ling, don't worry. Although our Wenchou's archery skills are not as good as those of Brother Huang Zhong, Ziyi, and Zilong, but. Like those Cao Jun's strong bows on the wall, the goal is so big, we are still sure. Look at me! ”

Wen Chou pursed his lips and looked firmly at the wall in front of him.

"Okay, as long as General Wen Chou is sure to destroy the strong bow on the wall of Wanzhongling, I am confident that I can sweep away the obstacles in front of the wall in a short time, and then push the army forward." Li Ling looked at the obstacle road in front of him.

"Don't worry, as long as the strong crossbow on the wall of the pass is burned, the Cao army guarding the pass will definitely panic. Even if they had spare strongbows, they wouldn't have time to install them again. Wen Chou knew what Li Ling was worried about, and comforted him again.

Hanging the strong arrow with fire oil on his back to make it easy to take it, Wen Chou slapped the battle, ran to the ground, and ran out.

The Cao army, who was guarding the pass, saw a horse of the Xinhan army rushing over in front of the pass, and couldn't help shouting loudly and on guard. There was a commotion in the city.

Of course. Although the Cao army on the head of the city was on guard, they did not act immediately, and the strong bow they arranged on the city head naturally could not be fired immediately. Because they only had one horse, they could not have wasted a round of arrows, because their last round of bows and arrows would have taken a while.

Cao Bing, who was closed, listened. This general is ugly, on the orders of Taifu Liu Yi. came to denounce Cao Cao's traitors, and they were all sons of big men. is also a Han person, why buy the life of the Cao Cao Han thief? Hurry up and open the gate and let my Xinhan army pass through, otherwise, when my Xinhan army breaks through, I will kill you and not a single chicken and dog will be left! ”

Wen Chou's loud voice was like a bell, which shook the officers and soldiers of the two armies a little ringing in their ears. The dust on the wall was shaken and fell by the sound waves.

Wen Chou?

Cao Bing on the wall was nervous, because it was not a time for Wen Chou to come to knock on the pass, and over the years, Cao Jun had suffered a lot in the hands of Wen Chou. Most of these Cao soldiers and generals guarding the pass have seen Wen Chou's bravery, so when they saw Wen Chou coming to fight again, they were a little frightened, and no one dared to answer.

The guard of this pass is a relative son of Cao Cao, Cao De.

For Cao Cao, he habitually sent his relatives as the main general to guard some of the more important passes, and perhaps, only if he was a child of his own family, Cao Cao would really rest assured.

In fact, it is true that with Cao Cao's suspicious character, especially his current foundation, it is basically developed with the support of his own family's children. Therefore, don't look at Cao Cao's seemingly enlightened appearance, most of the cronies and close ministers around him are some military generals or ministers with different surnames, but most of the positions that are really in power are controlled by his relatives.

For example, Cao Hong in Yangzhou, Cao Ren, the chief general of the Yellow River defense line in Yanzhou, Xiahoudun in the main battlefield defense line north of Xudu, and Xiahou Yuan, the general of the unified army who guarded Xudu. In addition, many important passes or towns will have the shadow of Cao Cao's relatives. Such as Xiahouen, Cao Chun, Xiahoushang, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, etc., all of them control some important and key positions under Cao Cao's power.

This Cao De is also a child of Cao Cao's own family.

However, it's strange to say, and I don't know if there is really a saying about life water, it seems that the luck of the world is really quite favored by the Cao family, the Cao family, in this Three Kingdoms era, there are really many talents, and there are many outstanding talents in civil and military affairs.

This Cao De may not have too much fame in history, but he is also a general with both civil and military skills, and his martial arts are only under Li Dian, Yu Ban and other generals, and he can be regarded as a second-rate peak general. And he is also resourceful, quite calm and calm in case of trouble, and will not panic.

When he heard Wen Chou coming to shout with arrows, he calmly ordered the sergeants below to prepare for the attack immediately, and at the same time, ordered the generals below not to open and close the door to fight. Because he knows that at present, there is no general in his pass who can fight with Wen Chou.

Then, he had the drum of warning beating.

He came up with a way to transmit signals through the sound of drums in this mountain and dense forest, and through the sound of drums and golden sounds, the sound of fast and slow, was the sound of them spreading information to Cao Jun in other villages.

Now, he is transmitting information to the Cao army in the nearby mountains, and he is asking the Cao army on the other mountains to cooperate with him to defend the pass of Wanzhongling. Be ready to attack the tens of thousands of New Han troops in front of Wanzhongling Pass at any time.

To be honest, the vanguard army of the tens of thousands of New Han Army is now in front of the pass of Wanzhongling. It's like being surrounded by a large woods. In addition, the Cao army in the mountains can go out at any time to surround and attack the tens of thousands of New Han troops.

Many times. When the New Han army reached the pass of this Wanzhong Ridge, the Cao army would send several troops in unison. Killing from the surrounding woods forced the New Han army to retreat so as not to fall into the siege of Cao's army.

The surrounding woods are a safe passage that only Cao Jun knows, and if the Xinhan Army rashly enters the woods, it will face the attack of Cao Jun, and at the same time, it must also pay attention to the countless traps in the woods.

Therefore, Cao De was not too nervous at this time. Because the Cao army in the surrounding mountains will soon come to support. He thought that this time the attack of the New Han army might be like the previous one, and they had to retreat under the combined attack of their Cao army. Therefore, there is no need for him to send generals out of the pass to deal with the battle, and it is nothing to let the generals of the New Han Army show off their might for a while, as long as he holds the pass.

An arrow was shot out. Before shooting at Wenchou's war horse, this was already the farthest range of ordinary bows and arrows in Cao's army.

This is Cao Jun warning Wen Chou, if he goes forward, it will be a rain of bows and arrows.

Wen Chou strangled the war horse. Because Wen Chou didn't really come to fight. Rather, there is something else. The distance of more than 200 steps is also the best range of Wen Chou.

"It's all soft eggs that don't grow eggs! Won't anyone dare to come out and fight General Ben? In this case, it is not too quick to open and close the door. Let General Ben teach you what it means to be a man! Wen Chou was still shouting and scolding loudly to influence the judgment of Cao Bing on the wall.

Meantime. Wen Chou took his bow and drew a long arrow with a black oil sac. He put it on his hand first, and with one hand free, he lit a torch that had been inserted on the horse's back.

Cao Cao's new weapon, named the crossbow bullbow, is actually equivalent to combining several large bows that count several stones, and then letting a dozen or twenty sergeants work together to pull the bowstring of the big bow and send out several long arrows at the same time. This kind of crossbow oxbow has a fixed base frame, as well as a frame to fix the longbow, so the target is relatively large, almost as big as the bed crossbow of the New Han Army.

The New Han Army had already made many exploratory attacks earlier, which was actually equivalent to fire reconnaissance, and since the first time they were attacked by Cao Jun's strong bow, the soldiers of the New Han Army began to pay attention to Cao Jun's weapon. The location of Cao Jun's strong bow has already been explored.

This kind of bulky strong bow that should not be pushed casually, Cao Jun could not change its position from time to time, so at a distance of about two hundred steps, Wen Chou could barely see the position of those strong bows protruding from the wall battlements.

Wen Chou lit the tarpaulin on the long arrow, and then carried his strength, focusing his strength on the long arrow.

This special long arrow not only carries a flammable tarpaulin, but also hangs a fist-sized leather bag, which contains the flammable black oil. This kind of long arrow with a skin bag is extremely difficult to shoot, let alone hit the target, if you are not a first-class general, I am afraid that as soon as you shoot it, you will fall in front, and the line is not to be said.

However, a first-class military general like Wen Chou is different, he can concentrate his internal force on the long arrow and integrate it with the long arrow, and the weight of that little oil bag is nothing at all.

Of course, it is quite difficult to shoot at the target like this, and Wen Chou has also gone through many test shots before he can master the skill of shooting this kind of long arrow with oil bag.

Cao Bing on the wall, they naturally also saw Wen Chou's action, most of the Cao soldiers, as soon as they saw Wen Chou take arrows, they would subconsciously hide their body shape, and would not expose their bodies to the wall battlements. It was not a matter of half a time for the New Han Army to use the sharpshooters to shoot the Cao soldiers on their walls.

There are only a small number of Cao soldiers, they are not as good as those powerful Cao soldiers who are familiar with the archer of the New Han Army, and they are still staring blankly at Wen Chou under the wall.

"If you don't dare to fight, then die!" Wen Chou aimed at a crossbow bow on the wall, and with a whin, a rocket appeared.

With Wen Chou's arrow shot, the Cao soldiers who saw it on the wall were all a little stunned, because they were all a little inexplicable, and they didn't understand what the significance of this time the general of the New Han Army shot a rocket with fire. Can a rocket set their wall ablaze? I'm afraid that as soon as this rocket arrives, it will be extinguished immediately by all the soldiers on the wall.

But when the whizzing bow and arrow came up with a sound of striking a wooden frame on the crossbow bow they had placed on the wall, they stood straight and steady on it. They knew they were wrong.

I saw that the long arrow inserted on the wooden frame, because of the great momentum, almost shot through the wooden frame, and the oil bag was also directly broken by the impact. With a snap, the oil sac burst, and a stream of black oil directly turned into a splash of water.

With a bang, the splashing oil sparks were ignited by the fire on the arrow oilcloth that seemed to be inextinguishable, and at the speed of the blink of an eye, a fire suddenly ignited. And the fire not only ignited the crossbow bow, but also some fire oil spots, with the fire, splashed on Cao Bing, who controlled the crossbow bow.

"What is this? How can it be a little bit? A little farther away, Cao Bing, who didn't splash the oil spots, asked in surprise.

"Not good! Our crossbow bow is on fire, put out the fire! ”

"Ahh My face! ”

"Nope! My clothes are on fire, help! ”

……

The Cao soldiers near the crossbow bow, the dozen or twenty Cao soldiers, were unlucky to be splashed with those black oil, and the sparks splashed on their bodies, and the harder they tried to shoot off the sparks on their bodies, they couldn't put them out, and their clothes were set on fire in the blink of an eye.

"Haha! Again! ”

Seeing that an arrow worked, Wen Chou slapped the war horse, rushed forward sideways, and then took the arrow, ignited it, and radiated, and so on, one arrow after another kept shooting.

Suddenly, Cao Bing on the wall was really panicked, and he didn't know what this enemy general shot at them, these fires couldn't be extinguished. Individual Cao soldiers, they saw that the crossbow bow was on fire, and subconsciously poured water on it, as a result, even if they poured water, they could not extinguish the fire, and even, the more water was splashed, the bigger the fire.

"What kind of fire is this? Skyfire? Divine fire? ”

Some Cao soldiers, seeing that those flames could not be extinguished, couldn't help but guess what kind of gods and ghosts they had.

A pot of dozens of oil arrows was shot out by Wen Chou not long after.

But it was these dozens of long oil arrows that set fire to the dozens of crossbow arrows placed on the wall.

On the wall, it seemed that there was really a fire, and there were clouds of smoke, and Cao Bing on it was even more panicked.

"Sappers on! Clear the way for me! Li Ling saw that Wen Chou alone had already made a mess of the entire Wanzhongling Gate, so he hurriedly ordered the sergeants below to quickly clear the obstacles to the Wanzhongling Gate. (To be continued.) )
