The first to be affected were his heralds. Because their vision was blocked, they were afraid that they would trample on their own people, so they did not dare to give orders on their horses. And this will be seriously delayed until Cao Cao, the order is issued to the time of the ministries.

Therefore, Cao Cao quickly ordered the army to switch to a command method with the two sounds of war drums and gongs. Ordered all units of the army to listen to the gong and act according to the drums.

And quickly send more commanders, every few dozen steps, there is a herald. In order to speed up the issuance of orders, he turned the large tent of the Chinese army to face northwest to avoid the smoke of the enemy army.

As his order was issued, Cao Cao quickly passed the order to the siege to Cao Ren, the commander-in-chief of the front siege, through the sound command method.

Cao Ren quickly dispatched 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, forming a tight shield array, covering 5,000 spearmen. Pressing towards Pengcheng, they will be the first to destroy the enemy's rejection array.

The horse rejection array was a hundred steps away from the city, and after the current sweeping vanguard set off, Cao Ren ordered again. Once again, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers were dispatched to cover the river reclamation team carrying the bag and advance forward.

However, they just followed the rhythm of the war drums of 'dong~~dong~~', and they couldn't walk far for more than ten steps. Immediately above the city, the violent and rapid 'dong dong' war drums sounded.

Hua Fei's reaction was so quick that as soon as he heard the sound of war drums outside the city, he ordered the drums to be beaten. Seriously disrupted, Cao Jun's forward rhythm.

Hua Fei was trained in the military and understood what to do when a unit loses its command. Their neat steps will become messy, and even push each other. This would be a disaster for the march.

As soon as Cao Ren heard the sound of war drums in the city, he was instantly dumbfounded. He clenched his hands and gritted the roots of his teeth. I can't wait to break this treacherous Hua Fei to pieces, so that I can relieve my anger.

Cao's army was well-trained, the vanguard of the siege, and lost the command of the drums of war. It did not become messy, but stood still under the command of the marching captain. And quickly sent someone to Cao Ren to ask for the next action order.

Cao Ren listened to the instructions, stared at the black smoke with fierce eyes, and scolded in his heart: "Ask Lao Tzu what to do?" Where does Lao Tzu know what to do? ”

Fortunately, he was stunned, Cao Cao and Xun You, the military advisor in the Chinese military tent, were not stunned. They quickly handed down the order, ordering Cao Ren to organize the soldiers with loud voices. With their backs to the south and north, they used a neat shout to direct the siege team to move.

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison according to the order: "Left ~ Right ~ Left..."The 20,000 troops of Cao's army besieging the city slowly approached the smoke-filled Pengcheng again in the sound of the trumpet.

Tai Shici, who was about to draw a bow above the city, frowned again. Because the drums of war between the two armies and the shouts of the enemy troops seriously affected his hearing.

So he didn't know which way to shoot in order to shoot the leader of the enemy army. But Jincheng, who was ordered to be in charge of the sharp arrows, did not care about these many.

He heard that the enemy seemed to be within range, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "First column of archers, ready!" Two hundred steps in front of the target city, a round of test firing! ”

With his order, the city's 'Bangbangbang' bowstring rang out continuously, and in an instant, thousands of sharp long arrows quickly pierced through the black fog. In the rapid breaking sound of the wind, it poured out of the city.

In response to him, there was the sound of gold and iron clashing under the city, mixed with hundreds of terrible screams. It is obvious that Cao's army has entered the range of the defenders' bows and arrows.

Jin Cheng immediately ordered: "The target is two hundred steps, decreasing according to thirty steps, three broken rounds of shooting, non-stop shooting!" Shoot! ”

In an instant, the strings above Pengcheng sounded, and round after round of sharp long arrows pierced through the air rapidly. In front of Peng Cheng, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind, and a downpour of deadly arrows fell.

The Cao army's siege vanguard, in the continuous 'clanging' sound, from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground, and was instantly trampled by the army and directly turned into pulp. The choking smoke was added to the smell of blood.

However, even though there were people around him who kept falling down with screams, Cao Jun was still unswerving and moved forward in the sound of the trumpet.

They all knew very well that they could retreat or flee. They will be greeted by the blades of the Warlords in the rear, or they will be shot faster by the defenders.

War has given them no way out! If you want to survive, you have to move forward! Advance in a rain of deadly arrows, on the bones of your comrades...

Due to the rain of arrows from the enemy, it was unusually dense. The two 10,000-strong troops besieging the city focused their attention on the tightness of the shields and listening to the sound of trumpets in the rear.

They didn't notice that the ground under their feet seemed to tremble slightly. When these two teams of 10,000 people, in the rain of arrows and thick smoke, approached the rejection of the horse formation a hundred paces away from the city.

Suddenly, 'Boom! An earth-shattering roar rang out, and the earth roared amazingly! The pale yellow earth is like a giant beast from hell, opening its huge mouth to the sky.

Countless terrifying, terrible screams rose to the sky. The soldiers of the two armies were so shocked that their hearts contracted rapidly, as if they were suddenly holding their hearts with their hands.

Just as the earth roared, Hua Fei, who was sitting in the middle of the city tower, suddenly let out a long sigh. With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Stop the drums and stop the smoke!" ".

As the drums of war stopped, the strong, choking, foul-smelling black smoke also became smaller and lighter sharply because there was no combustible.

The soldiers of the two armies were shocked to find that they had moved from a hundred paces outside Pengcheng to within a width of two hundred paces. Out of thin air, a huge pit that grew more than three miles long.

The yellow dust has long receded, and the smoke is slowly dissipating. It is up to 100 steps wide and can be several feet deep in the pit. There were still miserable cries and painful moans, which kept coming out.

The sharp wooden stakes, like a string of sugar gourds, were still trembling, and the soldiers of the Cao army's 20,000-strong siege team. The bloody scene is terrifying!

Until this moment, Tai Shici, who had been curious to find the people, was doing groundhog work overnight. I finally understood what they were busy with.

He knew that this was an order from Hua Fei. The wide slabs of wooden stakes broken in the deep pit seem to tell that they once shouldered the responsibility of supporting the 'earth'.

Tai Shi Ci gasped deeply, dry air. I couldn't believe it, looking at the pit in front of me.

He asked himself, what must be the calculation? can be calculated in advance that Cao Jun will move forward because of the large number of people and because he is preparing to fill the moat.

Eventually, the overload finally broke the stake under the slab. This has led to a terrible situation of filling the pit with people.

Cao Ren and the army under the city finally saw the tragic situation in the deep pit. Cao Ren trembled all over, and let out a terrible roar: "Hua Fei, you dog thief!" ”

Cao Cao soon received the information from the front. He was trembling, and finally understood. Hua Fei is not unaware of the truth that can no longer be calculated.

The purpose of his indulgence this time was only to cover up the traces of his traps.

And Cao Ren, who was in front, not only clearly saw the situation of seeping people in the deep pit. He saw more clearly that the soldiers under his command were all frightened, and their faces were colorless, and their strands trembled. Some people even dropped their weapons on the ground.

Cao Ren didn't go to scold his subordinates, he was cowardly and cowardly. Because even he is a general of the unified army. To this day, I still feel that the flesh all over my body is constantly trembling slightly.

This must be no wonder of him, because this is not a fight, it is simply a pit killing. In just an instant, two teams of 10,000 people were in front of him, and they were pitted into such a miserable situation... Anyone would be scared of that.

Cao Ren looked at the extremely low morale in front of him, the soldiers. I don't know what to do for a while. Almost when Cao Ren and the army were in a daze.

The defenders, however, let out earth-shattering cries of celebration after the shock had passed. It is like the people who participated in the digging resistance, waving their hands and dancing, celebrating their hard work and finally getting a bumper harvest.

Even a lot of people, because of the excitement. has already begun to point at the city, pointing at Cao Ren and others and scolding, and launched a counterattack.

"Piff! Who are you scolding for being damned? You and others violated the border of our state, and ordered the ban to be lifted for three days, you are the one who should be killed! ”

"That's it, you're the dog thief..."

Yes, the battlefield is a matter of life and death! Can Hua Fei be blamed for this? Cao Ren and the others were speechless for a while. Cao Cao was, and soon an order came.

Cao Ren was ordered to immediately command the front and immediately fill in the big pit. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders did not set the smoke, they immediately cleared the repulsion and filled the moat.

Cao Ren received the order, and while ordering the army to dig and fill the pit, he made an urgent report to Cao Cao. The former army was demoralized by witnessing the tragic situation, and it was possible to fill the pit.

But let them enter the range of the defenders in this state. To carry out the task of clearing obstacles, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties, and I ask for a change of defense with the rear army. In order to give the soldiers a buffer time and reinvigorate their morale.

Just when Cao Ren led the army to hurriedly put the dead and the soldiers who were not yet dead into the ground. Just when Yu Ban was ordered to send a large army to the front.

Tai Shi Ci looked suspicious and was ordered to ride his horse out of the city. Because he was ordered by Hua Fei to send a letter to Cao Cao.

Although he couldn't figure out why he wanted to send a letter to Cao Cao when the two armies were fighting. But out of respect for Hua Fei, he still faithfully carried out the order.

At the same time, he was also a little skeptical, could this be the lord's again, what kind of clever plan?
