Chapter 18: Fierce Battle

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, Zhang Cheng stood at the head of the city, and had dinner with the soldiers, for Zhang Cheng, there is no distinction between high and low, so Zhang Cheng does not feel that there is a ** share.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban felt very cordial when they saw Zhang Cheng eating with them, although it was just a small gesture, but it made Zhang Cheng's image among the soldiers a lot better.

"Qu Shuai, the officers and soldiers are in battle under the city"

"Got it" Zhang Cheng waved his hand, and then walked up to the city with his own soldiers, the officers and soldiers still set the formation the same as before, but they were not in a hurry to attack the city, as if to put pressure on the yellow scarves.

Cao Jian immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Zhang Jiao is dead, and those who descend will not be killed"

The old-fashioned lines, but it made many Yellow Turban soldiers even more worried, General Tiangong has not come out for several days, but he used to not forget to inspect the city defense every day, which makes people a little worried.

And this time, Cao Cao was not only the south gate, but the other three gates also began to call people, saying that Zhang Jiao was dead, so that the hearts of the Yellow Turban soldiers were shrouded in haze.

A lot of rumors also began to spread, and the form became even more precarious.

Cao manipulated the horse to stand under the city, and after seeing that the Yellow Turban soldiers were a little shaken, he looked at one of the generals on the side and said: "Cao Ren, the heart of the Yellow Turban Army has moved, can you capture it in one fell swoop?" ”

This general is eight feet five inches tall, dignified, holding a big knife in his hand, and his momentum is like a mountain, it is Cao Ren, who was later known as the first general of the Cao family, Cao Ren at this moment has been following Cao Cao to suppress thieves for almost half a year.

"Big brother, don't worry, the foolish brother will kill the head of the city and take the head of this Zhang Cheng" Cao Ren's eyes were like beasts, staring at Zhang Cheng in the city, and then walked up to the middle of the platform.

Cao Ren waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "Trebuchet ready"

"Put"

Dozens of trebuchets bombarded in turn, and huge rocks fell on the city like meteor showers, and the sound of rumbling, accompanied by the screams of the soldiers, came and went, and the people who listened were terrified.

Zhang Cheng and his soldiers were undulating under the women's wall, surrounded by stumps and broken arms, as well as tattered corpses, one of which was even at Zhang Cheng's feet.

Many of the soldiers who were still standing at the head of the city just now have turned into cold corpses, and even when they died, they didn't even have all the corpses, this is a troubled time, and human life is as cheap as grass!

"Don't panic, it's over in two rounds at most," Zhang Cheng shouted.

The restless Yellow Turban soldiers, this is a lot better, sure enough, after two rounds of bombardment, the trebuchet has stopped, Zhang Cheng immediately stood up, commanded the army to replenish the city, and at the same time ordered to prepare the city defense equipment, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

The nest carts of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side have been dispatched, and the moving nest carts are full of crossbowmen in order to suppress the city wall.

At the head of the city, Zhang Cheng also began to command the crossbowmen to wait for the battle.

"Qu Shuai, you see, the general on the other side is not simple," Zang Ba stood beside Zhang Cheng and said.

"How so?" Zhang Cheng was a little strange.

"The strong have their own momentum, this person's martial arts are only afraid that they are no longer under me," Zang Ba said with some solemnity.

Zhang Cheng was a little nervous when he heard this, he had seen Zang Ba's force with his own eyes, and he even said that the martial arts of the generals opposite were no longer below him.

glanced at the general flag on the opposite side, with the word 'Cao' written on it, Zhang Cheng knew that this was not Cao Ren, it was Cao Hong, if Cao Hong was okay, although the courage was outstanding, but there was nothing else outstanding, and Cao Ren was different, not only the courage was above Cao Hong, the troops were arranged, and the courage was to skip people, but he was a rare general.

Under the nest car opposite the "arrow", Cao Ren raised the order flag and shouted.

"Release the arrow" Zhang Cheng also shouted loudly on his side, in order to be able to kill and injure the opponent as soon as he entered the range, the arrows on both sides were like flying locusts, Zhang Cheng had forgotten, this was the first time he had seen such a shot.

However, this time it obviously made Zhang Cheng feel different from the general on the other side, holding a hard bow, releasing arrows again and again, and the arrows were not missing, and he shot over more than a dozen crossbowmen under Zhang Cheng's tent in a row, although they filled it up at the first time, but it seriously affected the morale of the crossbowmen on Zhang Cheng's side.

"Hmph" Zang Ba snorted coldly, took a treasure carving bow, and also released arrows one after another, hitting several officers and soldiers.

"Zang Ba, shoot the highest one," Zhang Cheng shouted.

When Zang Ba heard this, he immediately aimed at the official soldier at the highest place above the arrow tower opposite, and an arrow shot out, hitting the chest, the official soldier fell down with a scream, and smashed several officers and soldiers in a row before falling to the ground, and everyone immediately cheered when they saw it.

Zang Ba didn't expect such an effect, sighed that Zhang Cheng observed carefully at the same time, and repeatedly released arrows, focusing on shooting from a high place, and after a few clicks, there were a lot of vacancies in the crossbowmen of the official army on the opposite side.

When Cao Ren on the other side saw it, he was immediately furious, and shot at Zang Ba with a bow and arrow, and Zang Ba also shot at Cao Ren.

The two arrows collided together like meteors catching the moon, and the tips of the needles were against Maimang.

There was a "ding" sound, and both arrows broke off at the same time.

Zhang Cheng's eyes widened and he rubbed his eyes fiercely, only then did he determine that this was not a stunt.

'How is this possible?' I was secretly surprised in my heart, when Zhang Cheng was filming a TV series in the past, Zhang Cheng would use stunts, that is, computer production, or slow down the camera, I thought these were all fiction, but I didn't expect that it could really be done like this.

Zang Ba and Cao Ren glanced at each other, and the flames of war flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"Chaoche, rush for me" Cao Ren shouted.

The soldiers under the tent immediately pushed the nest cart forward, and the arrows on the city were like flying locusts, but still let Cao Ren's nest cart advance to only twenty paces, and at the same time, the siege officers on the ground carried the ladder, braving the rain of arrows, and frantically attacked.

"Quick, sassal wood, fire oil, rolling stones ready," Zhang Cheng suddenly shouted.

Hua Yu immediately commanded people to start transporting the equipment to defend the city, and set it up at the head of the city, and Zhang Cheng's heart was relieved.

"Go on, rush forward" Cao Ren shouted again, the nest car had rushed to less than ten steps, Zang Ba was slightly startled, and then lifted a rolling stone, weighing a hundred pounds, raised the top of the country's head with both hands, and then smashed it towards the opposite nest car.

Cao Ren looked at it, and was startled, and then his eyes flashed, he threw away the big knife in his hand, and his eyes were staring at the flying rolling stones, just at the moment when the rolling stones were about to hit the nest car, Cao Ren took a step back, and then rushed forward, kicked his feet on the nest car fiercely, and the whole person jumped into the air and jumped towards the city!
