Chapter 41: Ten thousand armies siege the city and rotate

The flag fluttered on the side of Jiuli Mountain, and Hua Fei was quietly there, in the sound of war drums that shook the sky. Looking at Cao Ren outside the city, facing the 70,000 elite soldiers under his command in the rolling heat wave, he shouted loudly and gave the final order.

"Everyone, listen up! In this siege, I will lead the personal guard to supervise the battle behind. Those who advance will have merit, and those who retreat will die! ”

With Cao Ren's shouting, Hua Fei obviously found that the 70,000 elite soldiers were awe-inspiring when they heard it, and Sen Leng's murderous aura suddenly rose to the sky!

Hua Fei knew that Cao Ren had given an order to kill! The soldiers under his command will never have a way back. Yes, there is only one way forward.

Immediately, he saw that Cao Ren was waving a gun on his horse and roaring: "Beat the drum and attack the city!" ”

Cao Jun's passionate 'dong dong' war drums were then slowly beaten. The 70,000-strong army lined up in several columns, and in the rhythm of war drums and under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, they slowly approached Pengcheng.

Compared with the bustle under the city, there are gongs and drums above Pengcheng. It was quiet, not even a little moving. Hua Fei was on a high place, overlooking the enemy troops outside the city who were slowly wriggling like beetles.

Soon, the enemy army entered the firing range, and Jin Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Pengcheng archers, immediately gave the order to attack. In an instant, the strings sounded, and in the sound of the rushing gathering and breaking wind, the black and oppressive arrow rain poured overwhelmingly towards Cao Jun.

Immediately, there was a sound under the city, and there was a continuous 'clanging' of gold and iron clashes, and terrible screams. At the same time, the pungent smell of blood once again permeated the world.

Cao Ren's eyes lit up, staring at the front of his army. When I saw the siege ladder that looked cold and shining because the hook of the ladder hooked the city reflected the sunlight, it was fifty steps closer to Pengcheng.

Cao Ren suddenly pointed his spear forward, and roared hoarsely: "Kill!" ”

The sound of Cao Jun's war drums became sudden and exciting in an instant! Hearing the order of the general attack, the front army immediately shouted in unison and accelerated its advance.

One by one, the siege ladders quickly moved forward in the dense rain of arrows and on the muddy bloody ground.

Above Pengcheng, Hua Fei waved his hand, and suddenly the same fierce drum sounded.

Behind the battlements, Hong Sheng roared: "Ignite the hook!" ”

On the city wall, Xu Kai raised his arms: "Rolling stones and wood, gold juice boiling oil, ready!" ”

In an instant, the iron hook connected to the long hemp rope quickly ignited the combustible material in front of it. Countless people rushed towards the battlements in the thick smoke.

Heavy round stones, thick cylindrical logs, buckets of hot gold oil. It's all in place quickly.

In just a few breaths, a huge group of siege ladders. In the earth-shattering shouts of the Cao soldiers, they quickly set up on the city. Immediately, Sen Han's sharp iron hook firmly buckled the battlements.

"Kill..."

"Rush..."In the shout that seemed a little crazy, Cao Jun grabbed the shield and bit the knife, and the ants attached to the siege ladder and quickly climbed towards the city.

"Smash! Throw! Throw! "Three short orders in succession were given at the same time above the city.

In an instant, the deadly rolling stones and trees rolled down the city ladder from the top of the city. The golden sweat hot oil that hooked the soul was splashed above Pengcheng. Suddenly, there was a terrible scream, and all kinds of foul smells rose from the bottom of Pengcheng.

In mid-air, there were countless burning blazing hooks, with blazing heat, falling from above the city. Tumbling and hooking the siege ladder, it turned into a fierce fire in the 'squeak' of burning.

For a moment, the choking smoke rose again in the rich smell of blood.

"Axe and slash ladder!" Wu Cai, the commander on the edge of the city, ordered, and five thousand sword and shield elite soldiers quickly picked up, and the sharp axes were spared by his side. Swiftly, in the continuous sound of 'clang', he used all his strength to eat milk, and frantically cut down the solid city ladder.

Cao Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Cao army's siege, roared loudly with a red face and a thick neck: "Quick, rush up and put out the fire and attack the enemy!" ”

Cao Jun, who knew that there was no way out, was blinded. stepped over the corpses of the fallen soldiers endlessly, and stepped on the road of no return made of flesh and blood.

Although the defenders of Pengcheng fought bravely, they were still unable to stop the Cao army that was advancing like an ant tide. After only one meal, some crazy Cao troops attacked the top of the city ladder. Tragic hand-to-hand combat was suddenly staged on the edge of the battlements.

Hua Fei clenched his fists, but looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly. The blazing red fire, the foul-smelling black smoke, the mad killing, the miserable roar!

Bright red blood is spraying like a spring, and the flesh and bones are turned into bloody mud! It's as if purgatory has returned to the earth.

No one knew that he had been restraining himself, restraining his right hand, which he wanted to wave countless times. Because under the frantic attack of the Cao army, the defenders have already fallen.

And no one knows that he, in fact, has been waiting, waiting for an optimal fighter.

Hua Fei knew that Cao's army was numerous and well-directed. If you only rely on the defenders of Pengcheng, I am afraid that in less than half a day, Pengcheng will fall under the crazy attack of Cao's army!

Therefore, he had already made another arrangement. It's just that this arrangement must wait until Cao Jun's strength is weak before it can play its greatest effect.

As time passed, the hot sun gradually moved westward. Under the physical exertion of the defenders of Pengcheng and the frantic attack of the Cao army, the casualties gradually showed an accelerated trend.

And two of the seven 10,000-strong teams under Cao Ren's command have fallen under Pengcheng forever. Hua Fei hurriedly ordered Tai Shici and others to lead the main force that had rested. Quickly climbed the walls and replaced the tired defenders.

This trick is an alternative application method that waits for work. Cao Ren saw the rotation of guarding the city under the city, and couldn't help but smack his lips a little dumbfounded, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness.

He secretly regretted in his heart why he was dizzy, thinking about oppressing the defenders in momentum. In one breath, all the forces were thrown into the siege. It's so crowded that the front and back of the soldiers are so crowded that they can't rotate if they want to...

Because the defenders are recuperating, and there are two fierce generals, Tai Shici and Wu Xu. The Cao army has been attacking the city for a long time, and the sharp spirit has been lost early, coupled with the hot weather, the physical exertion is huge.

So what the city head this time showed was that the defenders pressed the Cao army to fight a one-sided trend. Almost only in the time of a pillar of incense, the defenders were in full swing.

Under the leadership of Tai Shici and others, they quickly killed a siege team of 10,000 people from the Cao army...

Cao Ren saw that nearly half of his men had been killed or wounded, but Peng Cheng was still standing. What made him feel even more helpless was that even the sturdy siege ladder was destroyed by the burning of the defenders, and more than half of it was destroyed.

Although he still has a team of 40,000 people, there are spare siege ladders. But with low morale, they have already behaved as if they were sending to death rather than besieging the city.

Just when Cao Ren was helpless, Cao Cao's herald arrived quickly. ordered Cao Ren to quietly withdraw the two 10,000-strong teams at the rear. And Ling, who was already in the range of the enemy's army, two teams of 10,000 people took the city with all their might.

Immediately following the herald came Yu Ban, who was riding on a tall horse. and his repaired and supplemented by Cao Cao's army, 70,000 elite soldiers.

Cao Ren and Yu Ban were both relied on by Cao Cao and were generals in commanding the army. Although they are colleagues, there is also a competitive relationship.

Cao Ren could clearly feel the meaning contained in Yu Ban's triumphant gaze when he looked at him a few times.

It's a contempt, like saying, "How? Even Lao Tzu Yu Wenze helped you clear the obstacles. It's not like you Cao Zixiao still can't take Pengcheng? In the end, don't you have to rely on Lao Tzu? ”

Cao Ren didn't fight anywhere, and waved his hand to give the order. He glared at Yu Ban again, and said in his heart: "**** Yu Wenze, you have to be a fart!" If you really have the ability, take down Peng Cheng first. ”

Yu Ban's face was full of flowers, watching Cao Ren leave in a gray manner.

Then he waved the spear in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, General Cao and his brothers. It has already helped us consume the defenders, a lot of physical strength and fortification materials. The Lord's reward is ours, do you want it? ”

"Yes! Think! Think! ”

Listening to the three earth-shattering roars after the sound, Cao Ren was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. The heart said, "Whoever enters the mother, this retribution is coming too quickly, right?" Lao Tzu just talked about Yu Wenze..."

Yu Ban absorbed Cao Ren's experience and did not order the whole army under his command to attack the city. Instead, he ordered seven armies to gradually enter the battlefield. He also set up a team of guards and guards, and after boosting his morale.

Then he waved his gun and pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "You can live if you move forward, and you will die if you retreat!" The Lord's reward is waiting for you to receive it! The first and 20,000 teams will immediately take over from Cao Renbu and attack the city with all their might! ”

"Wow!" 20,000 elite soldiers shouted, and then pressed towards Pengcheng in the rapid sound of 'dong dong' war drums.

Yu Ban shouted again: "The 30,000 teams are ready to take the city, and the other four teams are resting in place." ”

It turned out to be ready, the plan of the trapezoidal attack. Prepare to attack Pengcheng in a steady stream, not giving the defenders time to rest. Thinking that you want to be as sharp as you are, you will be tired of the enemy.
