Night fell quietly.

The Xuzhou army array was dark.

The soldiers did not light torches.

"Pass the order down and attack the city on all fronts." Chen Gong shouted.

Dozens of siege bridges moved slowly towards the city wall under the impetus of the Xuzhou army soldiers.

At the head of the city, Xiahou looked at the Xuzhou army that was slowly advancing, and said to Xun You and Sima Yi on the side: "Xun Gong, Zhong Da, the enemy army is about to attack the city, you two should go to the city......

"It is precisely because of the enemy siege that we cannot leave." Xun You said: "General Xiahou is only in charge of guarding the city, and Zhong Da and I will assist from the side. ”

Xiahoudun nodded and shouted to the soldiers of the Cao army at the head of the city: "Soldiers, the enemy is coming, prepare the oil and oil, and when they are close, let them keep warm!" ”

The Xuzhou army is still approaching the city.

"Archer!" Gao Shun, who led the soldiers to attack the city, shouted: "Take the strong bow and take the rocket, and light up the Cao army!" ”

The archers of the Xuzhou army, who followed the procession, lit fire on the arrows that had long been wrapped in linen.

The advancing Xuzhou army was getting closer and closer to the city wall.

The Cao army at the head of the city never reacted, and not even a single arrow was fired.

"Shield raised!" It was already within range of Cao Jun's arrows, Gao Shun shouted.

The officers and men of the advancing Xuzhou Army have long been lined up with a tight shield wall.

They approached the city step by step with uneven steps.

At the head of the city, Xiahoudun asked Sima Yi, "What?" Is it possible to project an oil tank? ”

"That's it!" Sima Yi said.

"Throw the tank, the rocket is ready!" Xiahoudun shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Cao army, who were waiting for the battle, lit fire on the arrows one after another, aiming at the advancing Xuzhou army.

At the same time, Gao Shun ordered the arrows to be released.

Before the Cao army could attack, the advancing Xuzhou army had already loosened its bowstring and shot countless flaming arrows at the head of the city.

The arrows flew in mid-air, and the wind swept through the flames, making a "whirring" sound.

The Cao army at the head of the city still did not fight back.

"Projection canisters!" The enemy attacked, and Xiahoudun shouted.

Catapults attached to the tanks shot out the canisters.

Some oil canisters were pierced in mid-air by arrows fired by the Xuzhou army, raising fireballs and then disappearing into the vast night.

More oil canisters did not hit the advancing siege bridge, but fell into the Xuzhou army array, and as the canisters broke, the nearby Xuzhou army was splashed with pieces of oil.

Of course, there were also a few oil canisters that smashed on the advancing siege bridges.

"Shoot the arrows!" Xiahoudun finally gave the order to release the arrows.

With his order, the soldiers of the Cao army loosened their bowstrings one after another and fired rockets out of the city.

The oil tank and the rocket flew together, the arrows of both sides flew each other, and the sound of "crackling" arrows colliding and the "bang" of the oil tank breaking were constantly sounded in mid-air.

Cao Jun's rocket landed on the place where the oil was splashed, and instantly ignited a cluster of flames.

Those Xuzhou troops who were stained with oil were soon engulfed by the flames.

One by one, the burning men wailed and ran around outside the city, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

As a result, the array of the Xuzhou army became scattered.

Several of the advancing siege bridges also burst into flames.

The flames engulfed the wood with a beep-beep sound.

Smoke billowed from the burning siege bridge, and several "hills" with raging flames soon appeared outside the city of Fan County.

"The ladder goes up first!" Countless oil canisters and rockets flew over the city, and more and more Xuzhou troops were either hit by arrows or simply burned to the ground, seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Shun hurriedly shouted.

Except for the Xuzhou army that pushed the siege bridge, most of the soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city wall.

The Xuzhou army, which carried the ladder, arrived at the foot of the city wall and put the ladder on the city wall.

At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Cao army held the oil and poured it on the ladder.

The oil fell on the ladder and splashed below, and the Xuzhou army was all over his face.

Many Xuzhou troops circled along the ladder, but the Cao army above threw down their torches.

When a flame sees oil, it is like a gluttony sees a delicacy.

Under the city wall of Fan County, flames burst out, and many Xuzhou troops were swallowed in the flames.

The miserable howls, howls, and the shouts between the soldiers came and went, and there was chaos in the upper and lower cities of Fan County.

The siege bridge was still advancing, and oil canisters and rockets were still flying over the city.

The advancing siege bridges were only set ablaze by the flames.

Every time a siege bridge burned, the Xuzhou army that pushed it would abandon it and howl and rush to the city wall of Fanxian County.

Some of the Xuzhou troops who climbed up the city wall along the ladder were poked down the ladder by the oncoming long lance before they had time to stand firm.

Xiahoudun carried a halberd and stood at the head of the city.

Under the city wall, the Xuzhou army climbed up, and he brandished a halberd to stab a newly emerging Xuzhou army down the ladder.

An arrow flew against his shoulder.

Xiahoudun was taken aback and looked towards the place where the feather arrow flew past.

I saw a Xuzhou soldier who had just poked his head out of the battlement, and was stuck with an arrow in his forehead and fell on his back.

Looking back, Xiahoudun found that it was Sima Yi who shot the arrow.

Nodding at Sima Yi, Xiahoudun shouted, "Soldiers, don't let them come up!" Push them down with me! ”

Cao Jun at the head of the city shouted.

Except for those who were still throwing oil cans and launching rockets, the rest of the people all came to the battlements, brandishing weapons to prevent the Xuzhou army from landing in the city.

More than half of the dozens of siege bridges were engulfed in flames, and more than a dozen were close to the walls.

The soldiers of the Cao army simply carried oil cans and smashed them on the siege bridge.

Before the Xuzhou army jumped on the city wall, the torches of the Cao army had already been thrown onto the siege bridge.

Most of the siege bridges on the city wall were on fire, and there were two or three, which were preserved by the hard work of the Xuzhou army.

The Xuzhou army at the foot of the city wall flocked to the two siege bridges.

The soldiers climbed the bridge like a tidal wave and rushed to the city.

"Oil! Smash them with oil cans! Xiahoudun shouted loudly as he approached the two siege bridges.

Before he shouted, Cao Jun had already done so.

Oil canisters smashed onto the siege bridge, shattering and splashing with oil.

As the torches were thrown onto the siege bridge, several more flames burned against the walls.

The Xuzhou army that jumped from the siege bridge gathered together to block the Cao army that was surging from all sides.

The Xuzhou army, which passed through the flames, was still burning with flames, and they jumped on the city wall and didn't care about extinguishing the flames, so they immediately participated in the battle.

The flames burned more and more, and with a loud sound of "click, click, click", a siege bridge collapsed, and the Xuzhou troops on the bridge fell one after another.

Seeing this, the Xuzhou army, which was following behind, hurriedly retreated.

Gao Shun, who commanded the siege, saw that all the siege bridges were destroyed by the flames, and shouted to the guards on the side: "Pass the order, collect the troops immediately!" ”
