Zhang Gong took an arrow and aimed at Yuan Jun.

Cao Jun's soldiers have no way to start!

Although the Yuan army was outnumbered, they all hid behind the siege towers, protected by the siding of the two wings.

"Oil in clay pots." Cheng Yu's shout came from the city.

Clay pots filled with oil were placed on the battlements, and Cao Jun coiled ropes around the mouth of the jars.

The siege tower was still far away, and Cao Jun did not fire arrows, but waited silently.

Yuan's army pushed the siege towers and advanced at an extremely slow pace.

"Throw!" At the head of the city, countless clay pots filled with oil flew out.

The distance was too far, and most of the clay pots fell to the ground due to lack of strength.

The shattered clay pot burst out of the oil, staining the ground wet.

The road of Yuan's army was filled with a strong fragrance of oil......

As the siege tower advanced, more clay pots crashed into the tower walls.

The jar shattered, and oil splattered on the copper.

Looking at the city wall that threw out the clay pot, Yuan Tan smiled contemptuously: "Cao Jun was stupid? Throw out the jars and jars, and you can kill and injure our army? ”

"Cao's army is going to attack with fire." Yuan Xu said: "The things in the tank should be oil, and if the siege tower is closer, the enemy will be ignited!" ”

Yuan Tan was stunned: "How to deal with it?" ”

"Thirty siege towers, only three or five of them need to lean against the city wall, and they can be broken in one fell swoop! Ignore it! ”

got a positive response, Yuan Tan put his mind at ease!

The siege tower gets closer to the wall, and the archers on the tower cast arrows through the projectile port.

The tower body is half a section higher than the city wall, and the Cao army at the head of the city is facing the arrows and raising shields to cover it.

The archers of the Cao army never fought back.

They hid behind the battlements and wrapped their arrowheads in oil-soaked linen.

"Fire Bolt, fire!" The siege tower was only twenty or thirty steps from the city wall. The Cao army archers finally waited for the order.

Lighting the sackcloth wrapped around the arrowheads, the archers rose one after another. Shoot an arrow with flames at Yuan Jun.

Cao Jun had previously thrown out many clay pots.

The ground and siege towers were soaked with a lot of oil.

Arrows of fire flew out, and the oil ignited in an instant. Flames burned near almost every siege tower.

Siege towers on the march are licked by flames.

The copper skin heats up quickly, and the wooden frames of several siege towers are set on fire in the fire.

Seeing this, Yuan Jun, who was pushing the tower forward, hurriedly stepped forward to put out the flames.

Some of the flames were extinguished by Yuan's army, and there were also a few siege towers that were contaminated with more oil, but they were burning more and more.

Before the five or six siege towers reached the city walls, black smoke had risen from them.

Thick smoke rose into the sky, and the archers who shot arrows at Cao Jun coughed violently, groping their way up the stairs through the smoke screen, trying to descend from the tower.

Many archers could not bear the smoke and jumped from the top of the tower, regardless of its height and length.

Yuan Jun under the tower also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Scatter and run towards the other siege towers.

Several siege towers, engulfed in smoke, stopped, and many more approached the walls.

With the loud sound of the tower colliding with the city wall, the siege tower leaned against the outer wall.

Yuan Jun, who was pushing the tower, climbed the stairs and rushed to the top of the tower, while Cao Jun at the head of the city held a shield and pointed the tip of the lance to the exit.

More and more Yuan troops went up to the tower, and the partitions fell and smashed the battlements.

With a loud bang, countless Yuan Jun appeared at the exit.

The Yuan army at the front held a large shield and formed a shield wall at the exit.

Behind them were archers with bows and arrows.

The exit opened, and the archers of the Yuan army shot arrows at the head of the city.

Almost at the same time. The archers of the Cao army, who had been waiting for a long time, also fired dense feather arrows towards the exit.

The infantry of both sides were shielded from each other, and they were so close to each other that they shot each other with bows and arrows!

"Kill!" Take advantage of Cao Jun's replacement of arrows. The Yuan army on a tower shouted in unison and jumped onto the city wall.

The heavy infantry of the Cao army hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed their blades at the Yuan army.

There are too many people in the city. Although some Yuan troops fell under the onslaught of Cao's army, many more Yuan troops managed to jump onto the city wall.

Yuan's army was initially squeezed into a small group by Cao's army. As more and more people jumped onto the city wall, Cao Jun was gradually pushed to both sides.

Countless Yuan troops poured onto the city wall. Quickly capture the staircase, many of which rushed down the staircase into the city, quickly seizing the gates.

The city gate opened, and Yuan Tan pointed with his sword: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

The Yuan army, which was on standby, let out an earth-shattering roar and rushed towards the city.

"Eldest son!" Yuan Tan was about to beckon Yuan Xu into the city, and rushed after riding a fast horse.

When he got closer, the knight on horseback saluted and said, "Eldest son of Qiqi, there is a Cao army rushing to Qidi!" ”

"How many?" Yuan Tan hurriedly asked.

"Six or seven hundred!"

Yuan Tan snorted coldly: "Cao Mengdete underestimated us and others, only six or seven hundred people, so he tried in vain to reverse the situation of the war? ”

"Don't be careless, eldest brother." Yuan Xu asked the scout who returned, "Who is leading the army?" What about enemy armor? ”

"Cao Ren led the army, and it was all cavalry. Both soldiers and generals are dressed in cooked bronze armor. ”

Glancing at each other, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xu both looked surprised.

When marching and fighting, soldiers generally wear cowhide armor, and only generals or captains can wear cooked bronze armor.

Bronze armor is expensive, and it would never be so sophisticated unless it was for a special class.

"What is the title of the soldiers and horses led by Cao Ren?"

"The title hasn't been known yet!"

Signaling the scouts to retreat, Yuan Xu said: "Our army has broken the city, and the Cao army has no chance of reversing the defeat. When Cao Ren came, he must have been ordered to welcome back Cheng Yu and Zang Ba! ”

"It's all cavalry, and the soldiers are dressed in cooked bronze armor." Yuan Tan said: "I have heard for a long time that Cao Cao secretly domesticated a group of men and horses, but I don't know who is coming!" ”

"Tiger and leopard riding?" Yuan Xu's eyes opened.

"How do you know ......?"

"I've heard of it."

Yuan Xu knew about the tiger and leopard riding, not because he had heard of it, but because the memory in his mind still contained some prophetic information about this era.

The tiger and leopard rider is the elite of Cao Cao's elite.

In the future, the battlefield will dominate the world and be invincible!

Although there are not many records, they will win every battle!

Cao Cao sent him to Qingzhou, which shows how much attention he attaches to Cheng Yu.

What Yuan Xu is not so sure about is that the tiger and leopard cavalry should have been formed after Guandu, and there is no record before Guandu.

Is this cavalry brought by Cao Ren the same strong force he had heard of?

"Cao Jun is out of the elite, and he must not be allowed to retreat." Yuan Xu said: "The eldest brother can order the whole army to guard the city gate, block Cheng Yu and Zang Ba in the city, and break it but not annihilate it!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Lead the enemy into the city and catch the turtle in the urn!"

"The enemy army is only more than 600 people...... Yuan Tan is not sure whether Cao Ren dares to enter the city.

"If it is elite, how can you put our army in your eyes? The eldest brother can send an order to Cao Ren wherever he enters the city and let him go. The archers went to the head of the city, waiting for the enemy to break through the city gate and resist the enemy, and the bows and arrows on the city fired a volley, so that this Cao army must be completely annihilated! ”

Yuan Tan nodded solemnly and instructed the guards: "According to the words of the fifth prince, give orders to the whole army!" ”

The guard answered, and ran to the city gate. (To be continued.) )
