When Yuan Wei came to the north gate of Shouchun neatly, it was already drizzling in the sky.

Since entering March, this day is like being stabbed by someone, and it has begun to rain continuously, and the vast land of Huainan has almost become a piece of Zeguo, and Shouchun is even more flat and waterlogged.

Yuan No's mood is also the same as this weather, cloudy.

Shouchun City was originally in disrepair, and now it has been soaked in rain for a long time, and some of the walls are already crumbling, and if there is no accident, the city will only be broken in three or five days.

In other words, the next three or five days will directly determine his fate.

"Childe be careful, this section of the city wall has been flooded with stagnant water, and it may collapse at any time." Yuan Fu, the hometown general, followed behind Yuan No, constantly reminding Yuan Fu to be careful with his feet.

"Childe is here to patrol the city again?" An indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

Yuan Wei looked up and saw a military general with a large figure standing less than ten steps in front of him.

The military general was draped in heavy armor, and the armor was crisscrossed with sword marks, and the arrows were deeply wedged into the gaps in the armor.

Yuan Fu fused the memories of the two people, so he knew this general.

This military general is Yuan Shu's number one confidant general, and he is also the Wei general of the "Zhongjia Dynasty", Ji Ling.

Facing Yuan Fu's gaze, Ji Ling said again: "Son, please go back, this is not the place you should come." ”

Ji Ling's tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear any emotional tendencies, as if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him, but Yuan Wei heard undisguised disdain from it.

After speaking, Ji Ling turned around and began to inspect the city defenses, ignoring Yuan No.

Ji Ling is like this, and the group of arrogant soldiers under him have no respect for him, the eldest son, and there are even soldiers who spit on his back.

Yuan Fu sighed softly in his heart.

It seems that his image as the eldest son in the minds of the soldiers of the Yuan Army is very unbearable.

In this case, it is very difficult to abduct an army from under Yuan Shu's tent.

What can I do? If he wants to change his life against the sky, he has to go to Hebei to defect to Yuan Shao with the jade seal of the country, but with such a heavy treasure as the jade seal of the country, if there is no army to protect him, he will not be able to go to Hebei at all, not to mention the princes of Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, even any group of bandits can kill him.

Yuan Wei was full of worries, and walked back and forth casually at the head of the North Gate City before preparing to go home.

However, just as Yuan Wei turned around and was about to go down to the city, the Yuan Jun lookout post on the arrow tower suddenly blew the horn.

Almost at the same time, the sound of the bull's horn sounded in the wilderness north of the city, so far away that it was like a lament from the Nine Hells, but this was the horn of Cao Jun.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of the city were in a commotion.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who had just been lying on the road with tired faces, turned over and sat up, the archers began to clean the arrows in the quiver, the hoplites began to check whether the armor on their bodies had been bound, but the auxiliaries scurried back and forth on the city head like headless flies, and the whole city immediately became a pot of porridge.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of the city were in a mess, Yuan Wei immediately dispelled the idea of returning home.

An indescribable emotion firmly controlled Yuan No's mind at once, and he almost instinctively took a few steps forward and stood behind the chest-length battlement.

Yuan Wei leaned on the battlements and looked out, and was immediately deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw that on the wilderness north of Shouchun City, in the rain, there were already black and suppressed armored soldiers.

At first, it was just a black line on the distant horizon, but soon, this black line extended infinitely to both sides, and then transformed into an overwhelming array of armor.

Countless armor-wielding soldiers are overwhelming.

The rows of towering Changge almost obscured the entire field.

In the middle of the vast sea of armor soldiers, a black Daxu is towering in the rain, and in the center of the black Daxu, a large Cao character is embroidered with golden silk thread.

Cao Cao!

Cao Jun!

Cao Cao's army!

Yuan Wei gasped.

What made Yuan Fu's heart tremble the most was that the 100,000 Cao army soldiers marched in full gear, and they were silent!

Such military appearance, such military discipline!

As a future soul from 2,000 years later, this is the first time he has faced this infamous army so closely and directly! It is worthy of Cao Cao, worthy of Cao Jun, this kind of cold murderous aura and this cold pressure, just looking at it is enough to suffocate people.

It seems that three years later, it is not a fluke that Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao's 700,000 Hebei army with 70,000 Cao troops!

The sound of inhalation immediately sounded at the head of Shouchun City, and both the soldiers and auxiliaries and the generals and soldiers were shocked by the suffocating scene in front of them.

Cao Jun, it seems that he is going to finish his work in one battle!

Shouchun, in danger!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Cao Jun's array suddenly sounded a majestic and low war drum.

The drum beat three times, followed by a uniform trumpet sound: "Roar! Roar! Roar ......"

In the next moment, the black pressure Cao Army's large array suddenly changed formations, and columns of heavily armored hoplites shrank left and right, and passages appeared in the middle of the large array.

Immediately afterwards, huge siege equipment was pushed out by Cao Jun's auxiliaries.

Yuan Wei is a history lover, has read a lot of historical web novels, has a good understanding of ancient siege equipment, and found that the siege equipment launched by Cao Jun is actually complete, including stone throwers, pointed heads, nest cars, moat bridges, ladders, and siege towers that exceed the height of the Shouchun city wall.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Thousands of Cao army auxiliaries were shirtless, stepping on drums, shouting uniform trumpets, pulling or pushing, driving heavy siege equipment, and slowly approaching the north gate of Shouchun.

The auxiliaries and siege engines were flanked by hoplites in heavy armor who were responsible for protection.

In the distance, there were also black-pressed Cao cavalry sweeping on both flanks, once the Yuan army dared to go out of the city, the Cao cavalry on both wings would immediately cut diagonally over and cut off the Yuan army's retreat.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

In the sound of trumpets wave after wave, the huge siege equipment slowly but kept approaching the north gate of Shouchun, and the shadow of death began to shroud over the head of Shouchun City.

The soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of Shouchun City began to become uneasy.

The soldiers looked around in panic and retreated under their feet.

The auxiliaries were even more weak, and two timid ones shouted and turned to run.

Before Cao's army officially began to attack the city, the Shouchun defenders were already about to collapse.

At the critical juncture, Ji Ling suddenly appeared, a cold light flashed, and the two auxiliary soldiers who turned around and fled had already landed on the ground.

Ji Ling held aloft the blood-dripping ring head knife, his fierce gaze swept coldly over the faces of the crowded auxiliary soldiers, and shouted murderously: "Dare to escape from the battle, slash!" ”

"Go back!"

"All back!"

"Death to those who retreat!"

The dozens of soldiers behind Ji Ling drew their ring-headed knives at the same time, raising their knives and roaring.

The Yuan army auxiliaries returned to the city unwillingly and reluctantly.

Yuan Wei didn't notice these at all, his mind was completely attracted by Cao Jun's siege scene.

Cao Jun didn't even try it, and when he came up, he directly threw in all the siege equipment and launched a strong attack.

When there were still about 200 meters away from the city wall, dozens of Cao Jun's stone throwers stopped advancing, and Cao Jun's auxiliaries, who were responsible for controlling the stone throwers, began to nervously drive into the iron drill and fix the stone throwing frame.

The remaining trenches, ladders, siege towers, and pointed bows continued under the protection of the hoplites.

At a distance of 100 meters, the archers of the Yuan army at the head of the city began to release arrows, and the hoplites of the Cao army immediately raised their large shields and formed a tight turtle shell formation on the heads of the Cao army's auxiliaries.

Occasionally, arrows crept in through gaps that the shield could not cover.

There were constantly Cao army soldiers or auxiliaries screaming and falling.

However, this level of lethality was obviously not enough to stop Cao's approach.

Before Cao's siege engines advanced under the city walls, the defenders seemed to have few options.

After several rounds of attacks by dozens of Cao's trebuchets, Cao's eight moats were the first to advance in front of the moat.

The moat was equipped with two pairs of wheels, and the distance between the two pairs of wheels depended on the width of the moat, and under normal circumstances, when the moat was pushed into the moat, the two pairs of wheels would get stuck in the moat.

But in order to successfully build the moat over the moat, it is necessary to have a certain speed.

Because only when the speed is fast enough can the moat have enough inertia to ensure that the front extension of the moat can be successfully erected to the opposite bank of the moat.

If you don't go fast enough, the front extension of the moat will sink headlong into the moat.

The Cao army soldiers in charge of protection were the first to withdraw the turtle shell formation, and hundreds of Cao army auxiliaries with bare chests and backs shouted loudly, pushing the trench bridge and rushing to the moat.

The defenders also realized the danger, and the rain of arrows began to become dense.

Losing the protection of the soldiers, the casualties of the Cao army's auxiliaries began to increase sharply, and in a short distance of less than twenty meters, forty or fifty Cao army auxiliaries fell from arrows.

However, the remaining Cao army auxiliaries did not flinch in the slightest, pushing the trench bridge and continuing to charge.

A moment later, the eight moat bridges were pushed to the front of the moat, and at the moment when the front wheel was suspended in the air, the remaining Cao army auxiliaries shouted in unison, and then struggled to press down the tail end of the moat, and the front end of the moat was used as the support shaft of the rear wheel, and then crossed the moat under the action of inertia and smashed to the opposite bank.

Boom, the front ends of the eight moats smashed heavily on the other side of the moat.

Except for one of the trench bridges that broke because they could not withstand the violent impact, the remaining seven trench bridges withstood the cruel battlefield test, and the trench bridges were opened!

As soon as the trench bridge was erected, the hoplites of the Cao army quickly passed through the trench bridge, forming a strict tortoiseshell formation under the city wall of Shouchun City, and then, Cao Jun's ladders, pointed heads and siege towers also crossed the trench bridge one after another, and approached the city wall of Shouchun City, and the tragic siege battle was officially staged.
