In order to capture the city wall of Xiangcheng this time, the generals of the New Han army decided to put on a posture of attacking with the whole army, but they would not really go deep into the city, so as not to be ambushed by Cao's army.

In the afternoon, the war drums outside Xiangcheng were loud, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Several generals of the New Han Army led a group of men and horses and rushed directly through the four dozen wide open city gates.

At the same time, the siege soldiers of the New Han Army also began to move, approaching the walls of Xiangcheng.

Naturally, although Yu Ban wanted to lure the New Han army into the city to fight with them, he ignored a very important factor, that is, whether the New Han army would be as he guessed, as soon as the city gate opened, he would desperately lead the army into the city to fight with them.

You must know that now the New Han Army completely occupies the initiative, and it seems that it is in a hurry to capture Xiangcheng, and it seems that it has to capture Xiangcheng in a short period of time, which makes Yu Ban and them have a sense of urgency, thinking that under the mentality of the New Han Army that is eager to capture Xiangcheng, as long as there is a chance, they will immediately enter Xiangcheng. In particular, Wei Yan's recklessness earlier also seemed to prove the sense of urgency of the New Han Army. Therefore, Yu Ban arranged soldiers and horses in the city, prepared to welcome the New Han army into the city, and after fighting with the New Han army in the city, he officially opened the city gate, and openly wanted to invite the king into the urn, wanting to lure the New Han army into the city.

But who doesn't know, the New Han Army is actually not as eager as General Cao imagined, and the New Han Army now has time to play slowly with Cao Jun.

Especially when Qin Jie, Wei Yan and other generals rushed into the city from the city gate with a group of men and horses, looking at the streets that seemed to be empty in the city. The generals will be more certain that they are in the city. There must be a conspiracy of Cao Jun, so. None of them were fooled, and they did not directly lead their troops into the depths of the city.

Although Yu Ban ordered someone to open the city gate and let the New Han army enter the city, there must still be a lot of soldiers left on the city gate and the city wall, and they were also wary of the New Han army to seize the city wall. Of course, in order to fight street battles with the New Han Army, Yu Ban did not have many sergeants left on the city wall, but they only played a certain role in diversion. For Yu Ban, they think. As soon as the New Han army attacked the city, it was bound to think about seizing the central yamen of Xiangcheng, and they had already attacked the city, so they naturally did not pay too much attention to the city wall. Therefore, Yu Ban did not have many hidden troops on the city wall.

However, the Cao soldiers at the head of the city also caused a lot of trouble to the New Han army that attacked the city wall.

When the siege force of the New Han army approached the city wall, the Cao soldiers who emerged from the city head took them down from the rolling stones and trees on the city head. and kept firing arrows at the New Han army attacking the city, although the Cao army at the head of the city was not too strong because of the problem of troops, so that the New Han army suffered a lot of casualties.

Originally. Cao Jun liked this kind of siege warfare the most, and only in this way could they cause greater damage to the New Han army. But alas. If there were a large number of troops in their city, how could the New Han army easily attack and kill them?

Now the offensive of the New Han Army. They are all tentative attacks, and they are fortunate to be able to capture the walls of Xiangcheng. It's nothing if you can't take it. Of course, if the New Han army that entered the city could quickly kill the head of the city and receive the New Han army that should attack the city wall outside the city, then the New Han army would immediately launch a general attack, and the army would directly press over and take the city wall of Xiangcheng first.

But the New Han army that entered the city also encountered small difficulties. The reason is that the female wall of Shangcheng near the city gate was actually demolished by the Cao army, so that the new Han army that rushed into the city could not kill the city for a while.

And the Cao soldiers on the city also kept attacking the new Han army entering the city, shooting bows and arrows indiscriminately, rolling stones and trees. It seemed to be forcing the New Han Army to go deeper into the city, and for a while, the New Han Army was a little embarrassed.

On the west side of the city, Wei Yan went into battle shirtless, carrying a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, and walked along the edge of the city wall, trying to find a female wall staircase to go up to the city, but he clashed for hundreds of steps and there was no staircase for climbing the city. He had blocked the boulders that had fallen from the top of the city several times, and his arms trembled a little. Many of the soldiers who followed him also died.

"Damn, these Cao Jun are really hateful, they even demolished the stairs to climb the wall, hurry! With a hook rope! Wei Yan angrily greeted the sergeant behind him.

This is true, listening to Wei Yan's order, the sergeant of the New Han Army, who was carrying the hook rope, immediately took off the rope they had on their shoulders and threw the hook on the city.

Wei Yan took the lead, squeezed out a sergeant, and climbed up like an ape.

Although there are not many Cao soldiers on the head of the city, they can also ensure that there is a soldier on every battlement facing and outside the city. If the New Han army was always running along the foot of the wall under the city, their attack would be easy, at least, the New Han army would not be able to threaten them for a while. However, when they saw that the New Han army began to attack the city, they panicked a little.

The Xinhan army within the city wall did not have a ladder, but it was just as fast to climb it with a hook rope.

Cao Jun at the head of the city panicked.

"Quick! Rolling stone! ”

"Shoot! Shoot me! Fast! Don't let the New Han Army kill you! ”

"Dog! What are you so stunned about? Look for death! Bring that sassal over here! ”

"One, two, three! Push hard! Knock this ladder down for me! ”

"Brethren, we are the Death Army! None of the brothers who stayed in the city thought about being alive, don't be afraid, their Xinhan Army is the same as a person, without three heads and six arms, smashing down with the rolling stones in our hands, and giving their brains to bloom! ”

"Kill! Hold on to my death! ”

……

The generals of the Cao army, who were ordered to defend the city, were really busy at this time, putting out fires everywhere, urging their Cao soldiers to make various reactions.

However, the New Han Army also had archers, who aimed at the Cao soldiers who were lifting heavy objects and smashing them down, and their bodies were exposed, and they were shot one by one. There were not many Cao soldiers left in the Cao army lurking at the head of the city, and they died one by one, and each death was equivalent to a weakening of the strength of the city. At this time, the Cao soldiers who had been arranged in the streets and alleys of the city to prepare for street battles, even if they saw that the situation at the head of the city was not good, they could not come out of their hiding places again. rushed to the city to support the Cao soldiers who remained in the city.

Wei Yan had already thrown away his shield, and his long knife was back into his waist. In addition, he pulled out a slightly lighter Pu knife and bit it tightly with his mouth. Rushing to the head of the city with both hands and feet.

A Cao soldier saw Wei Yan, and the probe came out with the intention of shooting Wei Yan down, but Wei Yan's personal soldiers below had already drawn their bows and arrows, and were nervously staring at the top of the city, and had already done a good job of covering Wei Yan, and when they saw Cao Bing aiming at Wei Yan and drawing their bows. And their bows and arrows were fired. Before the Cao soldier could draw a full circle of arrows, he was shot by several arrows and fell from the city with a scream.

Another Cao soldier lifted a boulder and wanted to smash it down, but he was shot in the arm by a cold arrow with a snort, and Cao Bing, who suddenly lost his gravity, smashed himself to the ground with the boulder raised above his head, and he rolled to the ground in pain.

"Wei Yanlai!"

Wei Yan jumped hard and jumped directly onto the city. Two or three Cao soldiers, with spears and short knives, slashed at Wei Yan, but Wei Yan fell sideways, and rolled directly towards the Cao soldiers as if he had rolled onto the spear that stabbed him. The Pu knife on his mouth had already reached his hand, and with a single sword, he directly killed the three Cao soldiers who attacked him to the ground.

Wei Yan, who landed and stood firmly. shouted at the knife and threw out the simple knife in his hand. Pu Dao inserted directly into the back of a Cao soldier and saved a man who had just climbed up. A soldier of the New Han Army showed his head.

With a choking sound, Wei Yan drew out his long knife, and a murderous aura swung out, and several Cao soldiers who wanted to surround and kill were slashed into several pieces on the spot.

Bloody and bloody, killing Wei Yan who came to the city, it was like a killing god, no one could stop him, and wherever his figure passed, those Cao soldiers who were desperately resisting the enemy were like chopping melons and vegetables, and were killed by Wei Yan to the ground.

"Kill!"

More soldiers of the New Han Army slaughtered the city, unstoppable.

Cao soldiers finally couldn't resist it, in the face of the attack of the new Han army, they became more and more courageous, in a Cao soldier watched several Cao soldiers being cut off by Wei Yan's knife, blood splashed, and all organs were scattered all over the bloody scene, he couldn't help but be frightened and screamed, threw away his weapon, turned around and fled.

The Cao soldier who fled while shouting immediately caused the panic of the other Cao soldiers who had lost their fear, and subconsciously fled for their lives.

In this way, Cao's army was defeated.

Wei Yan ordered people to send a signal, and the New Han army was fully oppressed.

At the same time, the other Ma Chao, Qin Jie, Chen Zhi and others who were responsible for the direction of the attack also sent out the signal to seize the head of Xiangcheng City.

The Cao soldiers at the head of the city did not really tear down all the female walls and stairs in the city, and there were still passages up and down the city walls for the defeated Cao soldiers to retreat into the depths of the city.

The New Han army remembered the unanimous decision of the generals, and mainly focused on seizing the city walls of Xiangcheng, and did not take advantage of the victory to attack the city in depth.

It didn't take long for the head of Xiangcheng to change its flag. It was completely occupied by the New Han Army.

However, at this time, the sky is almost dark, looking at the city on the top of the city, the streets are vertical and horizontal, in the depths, many places have been blocked by Cao Jun, so that the entire Xiangcheng, faintly formed an inner city based on the center of Xiangcheng City. If the New Han Army wanted to fully control Xiangcheng, it had to pass through the dense streets and alleys before it could kill the officials of Xiangcheng.

Before the opening of the black, the New Han army sent a small number of soldiers and horses to try to attack the center of the city, but when passing through those streets and alleys, they were ambushed by Cao's soldiers, who had already laid an ambush.

After such a temptation, the generals of the New Han Army vaguely guessed Cao Jun's intentions, and originally wanted to use the criss-crossing streets and alleys in the city to engage their own army.

If you guess Cao Jun's intentions, it will be easy to do.

The New Han army was not in a hurry to control the city of Xiangcheng, but first stabilized the control of the city wall, in particular, moved the bed crossbow out of the city, and at the city gate, aimed at the city gate disciples, blocking all exits out of the city.

In this way, Cao Jun's so-called invitation to the urn has become the turtle of the New Han Army in the urn.

After a night, in the entire Xiangcheng, except for the city wall, the city was dark, and the people of Xiangcheng in the city did not have any bad feelings towards Cao Bing, and they could still obey Cao Jun's orders, no one lit the lamp, and gave Cao Jun a certain amount of cooperation. At this point, it can also be said that Cao Jun does still have people in Xiangcheng. The trebuchet of the New Han Army is really impossible to move directly into the city, regardless of all the mess.

Early in the morning, the generals of the New Han Army met once and discussed the military action that followed.

Originally, even if it was a street battle, the Xinhan army was not too afraid, and it was completely possible to wave the army to fight the Cao army.

However, the New Han Army had a better plan, and it was completely possible to destroy the 200,000 Cao troops in the city without fighting with the Cao army.

How? That is to use the stupidest and most troublesome method, but it is the most beneficial method for the New Han Army.

At the beginning, Wei Yan proposed to use fire to attack and burn down the houses in the city, so how could the Cao army in the Cao army fight an ambush with his own army in the streets and alleys?

However, in this way, it will inevitably cause great harm to the people of Xiangcheng, many of whom do not listen to the shouts of the New Han army at all and are unwilling to leave their houses. This can also reflect that under Cao Jun's governance, the people still support Cao Jun, which proves that Cao Cao's governance of Xiangcheng is relatively successful.

But no matter what, the generals of the Xinhan army felt that the war should not harm too many ordinary people, no matter who they were still protecting, it would be best if it did not harm their lives.

Therefore, in the end, the generals unanimously decided, didn't their Cao army want to fight with us in the streets? That's good, anyway, we don't have to worry about them now, even if we hold the city wall, we can still make the Cao army hidden in the city lose due to food shortages. So, let's demolish the city.

Yes, it's the demolition of the city!

The New Han army first set up a large array of bows and arrows on the top of the city, so that the archers controlled the range of bows and arrows within the city walls. Then, send people to persuade the people in the houses within the control of the New Han Army to persuade them to leave one by one, and if they really refuse to cooperate and are unwilling to leave their houses to death, the soldiers of the New Han Army will simply be forcibly escorted away. These people were sent directly out of the city and settled in the Xinhan army camp outside the city. Anyway, it's good not to treat them badly in terms of food and drink.

In this way, the New Han army destroyed a circle of dwellings and razed the entire circle within the city wall to the ground, so that the military formation of the New Han army was arranged on the flat ground, and then the next circle was demolished.

Such a method is indeed the most troublesome and stupid method. However, it was the most effective against Cao Jun, and even the houses were demolished to see where Cao Jun could hide, and how to fight street battles with the New Han Army.

Such a stupid method, the project is quite large, however, the new Han Dynasty can withstand such a toss, a big deal, when the time comes, to rebuild Xiangcheng, and it is not that it can't afford to consume such manpower and financial resources. The consumption of money is always better than the lives of the soldiers of the New Han Army.

Of course, such a stupid method doesn't really need to really demolish the entire Xiangcheng. Because Cao Jun couldn't really wait until the whole city was demolished before they would react.

I'm afraid that if there is no need to dismantle much, the Cao army will be in chaos, and when the time comes, they will either flee or surrender, and they will naturally have a clear understanding. (To be continued.) )
