Cao Cao's troops arrived at Xiapi, besieged the city for several days, but never wanted to attack the city.

Under the head of Pi City, Zhao Yi looked at Cao Jun outside the city, frowning.

"What does Cao Cao want to do?" Looking at Cao Jun outside the city, the general on the side said: "I don't fight or retreat, I don't retreat, it's just like this, which makes people so anxious!" ”

"Cao Cao besieged the city, or to lure his son here." Zhao Yi said: "Besiege the city to help, Gongzi once talked to a certain about this law. ”

"If so, what if so?" After the Penglai army came to Xuzhou, he didn't know much about Yuan Xu, so he asked in amazement.

"Don't worry!" Zhao Yi said: "Childe has his own way to deal with it!" ”

The general didn't say anything more.

Tens of thousands of Cao troops outside the city, Xuzhou only 50,000 soldiers, most of them are bandits and people who served in the later period.

On the city of Xiapi, although most of the soldiers are strong, except for a few people who were born as bandits, they have no experience in fighting, once the war starts, it is difficult to determine how long the city can be defended!

During the siege of the city for seven days, Cao's army never made any movement, and the Penglai soldiers did not respond.

Each is waiting for the other to break the silence first.

Looking at the city wall of Xiapi, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "Our army has besieged Xiapi for several days, why did Yuan Xianxin not move?" ”

"Cao Gong doesn't fight Pi, he also waits for the fighter." Guo Jia said: "Gongda has been prepared, once Xuzhou sends troops to help, General Xiahou and others can break Xuzhou!" ”

"In the spirit of filial piety, can you storm Pi?"

"Exactly!" Guo Jia said: "If Yuan Xianxin sits firmly in Xuzhou, he will definitely enter Yuzhou. This battle, if not to remove it, must shake his roots. Make him powerless to go west! ”

"Someone!" Cao Cao nodded, and ordered to the side: "Pass the order." Siege now! ”

After coming to Xiapi for a few days, the soldiers of Cao's army never received the order to siege the city.

The officers and men in the army are so bored that they drink and play with money all day long.

Cao Cao's military order. Tens of thousands of Cao troops seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately formed a phalanx.

The flag of the Chinese army was unfurled, and the horns sounded "woo".

Zhao Yi was patrolling the city at this time, when he heard the sound of the horn, he was rushing to the city with a few soldiers, and a soldier came over: "General Qiyu, Cao's army lined up in a phalanx, as if they wanted to attack the city!" ”

"Go to the city with a certain and have a look!" Greeting the soldiers, Zhao Yifei ran towards the city wall.

went up to the city. He looked out of the city.

Cao Jun really set up a siege array, and ladders were placed in front of the big array.

In addition to the ladder, there are several battering rams on standby.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! The Cao army was about to attack the city, and Zhao Yi shouted: "Rolling wood and stones are all placed on the city." The bow and arrows are wound, and the oil is boiled! ”

At the head of the city, the Penglai soldiers suddenly became busy.

Many people carried logs and stones behind the battlements.

There are also some Penglai soldiers, carrying clay pots filled with boiling oil, and placing them on the stove where the flames are blazing.

The stove was attached to the battlements, even though Cao's army shot arrows at the city. It won't be knocked over.

The Penglai soldiers next to the battlements put their arrows on the bowstring and aimed at the Cao army who was about to attack.

The horn of the Cao army stopped, and was replaced by a drum beat that shook the heavens and the earth.

The drums beat. The soldiers of the Cao army shouted in unison.

"Siege!" A voice came from the Chinese army, and then the handsome flag was unfurled, and the signal of siege was issued.

Heavy infantry with huge shields lined up in a neat formation. Advance towards the city walls.

In the array, some Cao soldiers held shields in one hand. The other straight hand carries the ladder.

Neat steps stepped on the ground, and puffs of smoke and dust were raised.

Heavy infantry out of ranks. Immediately afterward, Cao Jun archers followed.

The phalanx advanced towards the city wall, and the soldiers of the Cao army did not squint and looked at the defenders at the head of the city.

The Penglai soldiers guarding Xiapi, except for the forty people around Zhao Yi, the rest were all Yuan Xu who came to serve after entering Xuzhou.

Among them are bandits, people, and homeless people, but there are no warriors on the battlefield!

Spread the bowstring to aim at Cao Jun, and some of them even had their hands trembling slightly.

"Do you want to live?" Walking back and forth in the city, Zhao Yi shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Some of the more courageous people responded.

"If you want to live, listen to a certain order!" Zhao Yi shouted: "On the battlefield, it is not as good as the field!" The enemy army is under the city, if you don't kill them, you will die! ”

The city was quiet, only the footsteps of Cao's army echoed in the ears of the soldiers.

"Why did Cao Jun come from?" Zhao Yi shouted: "They came here to cut off your heads, so that you can wait to bury your bones here, and you will never be able to return to your hometown, and you will never see your parents, wives and children!" ”

"General!" A soldier near Zhao Yi said: "Years of war, how can there be a hometown? ”

"If you don't have a hometown, fight for Childe, Childe will rebuild your home for you!" Zhao Yi roared: "I don't want you to wait to repel Cao Jun, as long as you wait to live!" The two armies are fighting, how can they live? ”

"Run?" A soldier asked timidly.

Zhao Yi sneered: "There are Cao Jun outside the city, where are you going?" ”

"If you go out of the city, Cao Jun will slaughter you like a pig!" Zhao Yi shouted: "If you retreat from the city wall, you will be like a chicken with no power to fight back!" If you want to escape, not only will you die, but you will also die in humiliation and death! ”

No one answered, and many pairs of eyes were looking at Zhao Yi.

"The Cao army is besieging Xiapi, and the prince will definitely send troops to help!" Zhao Yi said: "If you want to live, there is only one way to go!" Kill the enemy so they can't climb the walls! ”

"Of course!" As soon as the words changed, Zhao Yi's tone became low: "The enemy army is large, including so-and-so, many people will die!" ”

Cao Jun was getting closer and closer, and the nerves of the soldiers were as tight as bowstrings.

"But someone will survive!" Zhao Yi's voice echoed in their ears again: "Don't think that you will be the one who survived!" At least before the battle is over, we may all be dead bodies lying on the edge of the city! Even if you die, you have to kill Cao Jun more to win a chance for your companions to live! ”

"Because...... You may be the one who has been sheltered by your companions! Pointing to the Penglai soldiers at the head of the city, Zhao Yi shouted: "Bow and arrow on the wind, kill the enemy with a certain one!" ”

"Roar!" The Penglai soldiers shouted in unison, and opened their longbows to aim at Cao Jun.

The advancing Cao army was getting faster and faster, but the array was not loose at all.

Seeing that they were advancing within the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, Zhao Yi did not give the order to release the arrows.

Holding his breath, Penglai's hand pulling the bowstring was trembling slightly.

The forty soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion beside Zhao Yi had also drawn their longbows and aimed at the Cao army outside the city.

Compared with the nearby Penglai soldiers, they are much calmer, and their eyes also reveal fortitude and determination!

The soldiers on the battlefield of a hundred battles, whether it is battlefield experience or calm in battle, are not comparable to the rabble who are only equipped with blades! (To be continued.) )
