"Charge!" Even so, Zhang Liao had to bite the bullet and drive his soldiers to charge forward, because this was his task.

However, Cao Jun deserves to be called Cao Jun, even in the face of unprecedented blows, he still maintains a high fighting spirit, and under the command of generals and colonels at all levels, he constantly swarms to kill Hefei City Tower, and consciously maintains a relatively loose formation. Because as long as they are not idiots, they know that the simple wooden shield in their hands cannot resist the giant crossbow from the wall, and it is better to disperse than wait in line to die, so as not to win the bid collectively.

One step, two steps, each step is like going through a layer of hell. The power of the giant crossbow is unlimited, and the stumps and severed arms, blood and intestines flow, like a hell of a nose, even those soldiers who have experienced the battle of Tongguan are the same, revealing fear in their eyes.

Braving the artillery fire and rushing forward, the Cao soldiers showed great resilience, which made Qiao Ren on the city wall sigh with emotion, but unfortunately war is always cruel, and the strength of the enemy is the damage of one's own side.

"Kill!" Under the command of Zhang Liao, the Cao army finally broke through the range of the giant crossbow, and the tall rushing carts rushed out unscathed, heading towards the city wall.

"Humph!" Qiao Ren's handsome face flashed with a hint of ferocity. "Ballista fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! There are many more ballistae than bed crossbows, and their rate of fire is unmatched by bed crossbows. Almost at the speed of a crossbow's attack, countless javelins poured down the city.

For a while, the sound of entering the flesh continued, and before the soldiers of the Cao army had time to congratulate themselves on escaping, they were nailed to the ground by countless javelins. Zhang Liao, who was supervising the battle from afar, finally understood why Cao Hong was so frightened when he mentioned the Wu army's giant crossbow, and anyone would have such an expression when they saw such a weapon for the first time.

When there were still 400 meters left in the Hefei city wall, the soldiers of Cao Jun and the iron-blooded Cao Army panicked. Zhang Liao suddenly thought, I'm afraid that this siege will not be successful, maybe even the city wall will not be touched.

It's a pity that not only Zhang Liao understands, but Qiao Ren on the city wall also understands. "General Huang has seen you!"

"Don't worry." Huang Zhong replied as he took the iron-tired bow from the guards and shouted, "Hengjiang shooter, shoot in three stages." ”

Crash!! More than 3,000 Hengjiang archers almost instantly covered the city wall, the three-story queue, the longbow that was almost a man high, and the Mitsubishi arrows that showed through the cold light, all showed that they were an elite long-range force.

"Shoot!" Huang Zhong roared angrily, and the bow and arrow in his hand were the first to shoot. Of course, his arrow was not to kill the enemy, but to test the distance. Huang Zhong's iron-tired bow was much shorter than the longbow, after all, a general like him couldn't run around with a one-meter-eight longbow! But the range of his bow is not bad at all, so the position where he can test the shot, Yokoe shooters can also reach.

Looking at the feather arrow that accurately hit a Cao sergeant more than three hundred and fifty away, Huang Zhong nodded with satisfaction, raised his left hand slowly, and put it down suddenly. Behind the three thousand Hengjiang archers began to belong to their performances, Hengjiang archers were formed when Huang Zhong was still directly under Sun Ce, when Wu Hou Sun Ce painstakingly recruited more than 100,000 Wu army soldiers who were the best at shooting into the team, with Huang Zhong commander, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici training together, after arriving in Lujiang, he was equipped with Qiao Ren's improved longbow, and the waist hanging halberd was copied and practiced by Gan Ning for a period of time.

It is no exaggeration to say that no archery unit in the Han Dynasty has such a strong training lineup and equipment, which is trained by the three best archers in Eastern Wu, equipped with cross-era longbows, and selected the best archers. The world's first archers deserve their name.

I'm afraid that at this time, Zhang Liao under the city also feels the same way. The overwhelming array of arrows flew like water, and the damn arrows weren't fired indiscriminately, but were fired after they were aimed at their target. Under such a dense attack formation of the Cao army, the high hit rate was terrifying, coupled with the extremely strong penetration and lethality of the Mitsubishi arrows, a large area of the Cao army fell.

It's messy, and the invincible Cao Jun is in chaos again. In their opinion, the Hefei city in front of them is like a ghost in Fengdu, and every arrow rain is like the caress of death, and they don't know when they will be hooked away by it. Involuntarily, a Cao army, a fifth, a tun and even a battalion were all weaving and retreating, and Zhang Liao could not recover this decline, so he had to be helplessly escorted back to the camp by the guards.

Before the battle started, not even a single Wu army was killed, and Cao's army was defeated. Bursts of deafening cheers resounded on the city walls of Hefei, which lasted for a long time.

"The last general is ashamed of his belief in Cheng, insulting the military prestige, and implores the prime minister to punish him." Zhang Liao's clothes and armor were not messy, but he was depressed, and he was half-kneeling in the middle of the big tent.

Cao Cao's tiger eyes closed at some point, and he opened them without knowing what, and suddenly laughed: "What is Wenyuan's crime, the Wu army's city defense is strong, and it is not a crime of war." ”

After finishing speaking, he personally helped the head of the five good generals. "Wenhe, where has Lejin gone?"

A strategist who seemed to be forever hiding in the darkness replied softly: "Prime Minister, General Le will arrive in Lu'an in one day." ”

It turned out that just yesterday, Cao Cao sent the general Le Jin with 5,000 soldiers to attack Lujiang. Strike at the West or divert the target?

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

In Hefei City, a group of Wu generals drank a little wine in the county government easily. "The battle of the Metropolitan Governor was so boring that Cao's army couldn't even get close to the city wall and left thousands of corpses and ran away. Haha~~" Xu Sheng played his bastard side again, and unabashedly ridiculed Cao Jun's incompetence.

And the other generals have long been surprised, and no one pays attention to him at all, and they all take care of the food on the table. Only Gan Ning threw a look that no one paid attention to you, and then set his eyes on the wine in the glass.

"The Grand Duke! I think this battle is a bit strange! ”

Discordant sounds? The movements of the generals' hands were all stunned, and they raised their heads to search for who was so disappointing, but they saw that Sun Shao's skills flashed past a young general in his early twenties.

Qiao Ren was also surprised who it was, but when he saw that it was a general he didn't know, he was also interested, and asked, "Oh? Who are you? ”

Sun Shao couldn't stop it now if he wanted to, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "This is Hao Zhao, the captain under the command of the last general. ”

"Captain?" "Hao Zhao!"

The former is strange why Hao Zhao can enter here, you must know that the lowest person here is also a Zhonglang general, and a mere captain is still unnumbered. And the latter is Qiao Ren's sigh when Hao Zhao appeared under Sun Shao.

Hao Zhao was not afraid of the eyes of the generals, and directly went out to face Qiao Ren is great gift, "The Metropolitan Governor still remembers that the general of the Cao Army who you personally fed the medicine is the last general!" ”

Hao Zhao? Qiao Ren's heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping, feeding medicine and feeding Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao is not a cabbage, but a rare famous general in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, and he is extremely good at guarding. Zhuge Liang led his troops to attack Chencang during the Northern Expedition, Hao Zhao held on, and Zhuge Liang sent Hao Zhao's fellow villager Jin Shen to persuade Hao Zhao to surrender, but Hao Zhao did not listen. Zhuge Liang saw that he led tens of thousands of soldiers and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers in the city, and Cao Wei's rescue troops did not arrive, so he attacked the city, set up a cloud ladder and a rushing car to attack the city, but Hao Zhao burned the cloud ladder with igniting arrows and crushed the rushing car with a stone mill; Zhuge Liang used a hundred-foot well to shoot arrows into the city, and filled the moat with the intention of attacking the city directly; Hao Zhao built a wall to resist it. Zhuge Liang dug a tunnel to enter the city, and Hao Zhao blocked the tunnel again. After defending like this for more than 20 days, Zhuge Liang still could not take it, and at this time Cao Zhen sent Fei Yao to lead reinforcements to arrive, and Zhuge Liang had to retreat. It can be said that in the case of a huge disparity in troops, Hao Zhao blocked Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition with one person and one city.

Such a well-guarded general is simply a professional defender of the city like Huo Jun, even if he is young at this time, it doesn't hurt to listen to his opinions, in this mind, Qiao Ren asked: "What is General Hao's opinion?" ”
