Thank you for a monthly pass from the book friend nvlkfygkpt7d82e childe!

Yue Kefeng glanced out of the city, only to see that the black tide was coming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yue Kefeng frowned and muttered, "It's finally started!" ”

The Wei army stopped more than 300 steps in front of the city wall, and the whole looked a little chaotic, not in a formation, and there was no way to set up a formation in such a place.

"Your Majesty, you're ready!" Xiahou Yuan hugged his fist towards Cao Cao.

Cao Cao frowned and bowed slightly towards Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan understood and immediately ordered the forward battalion of the Eleventh Army to attack.

The 20,000 soldiers shouted violently, carrying the simple ladder towards the city wall, the speed was not fast, because they could not get up fast at all on such terrain, and the ladder seemed to be very difficult.

Cao Cao frowned, and all the generals also frowned.

After a few moments, the crossbowmen of the Kushan Army began to shoot, and the rain of arrows rushed towards the forward battalion of the Eleventh Legion with a screeching sound, and many soldiers were knocked to the ground, and the tower shield and sword shield hands, which had been used as protection, did not work well at all.

The Wei crossbowmen did not return fire, because of the terrain, the Wei crossbowmen could not reach the other party at this time.

The Wei army advanced with difficulty against the rain of arrows from the other side, and finally the strong crossbowmen began to fight back, and a rain of arrows roared up, and the crossbowmen of the Kushan army, who were forgetting to release their arrows, fell a lot.

The Wei crossbowmen sniped at the Kushan crossbowmen on the city wall, while the other soldiers carried ladders towards the city wall.

The Wei army rushed to the city wall, and the ladders were built up to the city wall.

The rumbling sound came from the city wall, and I saw the rolling stones and sassalwood rushing down like a waterfall, and the scene was very amazing.

A ladder was smashed by a rolling stone, and flesh flew under the walls.

The Wei army bit the blades and rushed towards the city wall, one by one the soldiers fell from the ladder, and a Wei soldier rushed up the city wall, and before he could stand firmly, he was picked off the city wall by several spears; A Wei soldier rushed up the city wall and slashed a Kushan officer in front of him to the ground, and then a spear pierced his body from the side, and he jumped off the wall with his last breath in his arms.

The fierce battle lasted about two hours, and the Wei army paid heavy casualties, but was unable to make a breakthrough.

Seeing this, Cao Cao ordered a halt to the attack.

Seeing that the Wei army was receding like a tidal tide, all the officers and men of the Guishan Army were stunned for a moment, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers, they were extremely excited, they actually withstood the attack of the main force of the Wei army! In fact, their losses in this battle were also very large, and the number of casualties was not below the Wei army, but in any case, they still resisted the attack of the main force of the Wei army, which was the first time that it was not easy!

"General, we hold on! We held it! A subordinate general shouted at Yue Kefeng in a very faux puff.

Yue Kefeng nodded, glanced at the excited soldiers, and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the army that had regained confidence was more likely to resist the attack of the Wei army.

The Great Tent of the Wei Army.

"Your Majesty, this fortress is really not conducive to attacking!" Xiahou Yuan frowned, he had a very breath-holding feeling, as if he couldn't use his strength.

The generals nodded.

Cao Cao frowned and thought, "It seems that we can only rely on the oil canister!" ”

Glancing at the generals, "Today's battle is just a tentative attack!" It's still rewarding! Go back and get ready, and we'll surprise them tonight! ”

The next day, when the Guishan army, which was in full array, found that the Wei army had not arrived, all the soldiers could not help but feel happy, and at the same time a little curious, of course, they did not dare to relax their vigilance.

At the same time, several teams of lightly armed Wei troops came to the bottom of the cliffs on both sides of the fortress with hooks and other objects.

The cliff in front of you is straight and steep, more than 100 steps high, and you can see the clouds floating on the peak, which makes people feel emotion and awe at the same time.

The Wei army relied on the hook to climb up with difficulty, and suddenly one of the soldiers stumbled and fell into a cliff.

The others continued their ascent after a moment of silence.

After about half an hour, the pathfinder climbed the cliff on the left side to a small platform jutting out at the top of the cliff, from which they could get a bird's-eye view of the entire fortress, but the cliff on the side of the fortress was even steeper, almost mirror-like.

The pathfinder team searched on the small platform for a long time and did not find a place where the rope could be lowered, and there was a guard fort at the bottom of the cliff, even if it went down through the rope from here, it was only a turtle in the other party's urn. The pathfinder had no choice but to temporarily return.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao got the report and couldn't help but feel very disappointed, muttering, "Could it be that God intends to embarrass us?" ”

Soon after, the pathfinder team who had gone to the cliff on the right also returned, again finding no path to use.

Cao Cao tapped his forehead with some annoyance.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, we don't have to think of any other way!" Xiahou Yuan said.

Cao Cao frowned, thought for a moment, and ordered, "The pathfinder team continues to expand the search area!" ”

"Yes!" The two officers in charge of pathfinding clasped their fists in agreement.

Cao Cao asked Guan Yu, "Miaocai, have you thought of any way to attack head-on?" ”

Xiahou Yuan frowned and said, "We discussed for a long time, and we only thought of a way that was not very good!" It's actually very simple! It was to use the fire oil canister to burn the city gate directly while the infantry army was attacking the city wall! ”

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, "Give it a try!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at the generals and gave a resolute order: "Order the forward battalion of the Twelfth Army Corps to fight, and the military camp, left battalion, and right battalion of the Fifth Army Corps will press the formation!" ”

"No!"

When the time came to noon, the officers and men of the Kushan Army thought that the Wei army would not attack again today. However, at this moment, the war drums of the Wei army suddenly sounded, and all the officers and soldiers of the Guishan army couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly prepared to meet the battle.

When Yue Kefeng received the news, he was discussing with a group of generals in the lobby of the fortress office, and as soon as he heard the news of the Wei army's attack, he hurriedly gathered a group of generals and ran towards the city wall.

The Wei army still rushed towards the city wall with a rudimentary cloud ladder as they did yesterday, and nothing seemed to have changed.

The Wei soldiers charged upwards along the ladder without fear of death, while the crossbowmen shot at the city wall with their crossbows, and the rolling stones and logs on the city wall rumbled down, stirring up a pool of blood.

At this time, a group of Wei troops approached the city gate under the cover of the tower shield hand with baskets on their backs.

Yue Kefeng, who was watching the battle, noticed this situation, and immediately realized the opponent's intentions, and hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to concentrate their fire on them, while the soldiers responsible for casting the 'divine fire' prepared to attack.

Arrows crackled against the tower shield, and from time to time Wei soldiers were shot to the ground, like pedestrians struggling to move forward in a torrential rain.

The strong crossbowmen of the Wei army immediately concentrated their fire to suppress the crossbowmen of the Guishan army, and the crossbowmen of the Guishan army fell from the city wall one by one screaming.

The Wei army, carrying baskets on their backs, finally arrived under the city gate under the cover of their own bows and crossbows. At this time, a group of Kushan soldiers who also carried baskets appeared on the city gate tower.

One by one, they threw the lit 'divine fires' towards the city.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but be surprised.

Bang Bang Bang!!

The crisp sound was as if it came from hell, and fireballs rose up at the city gate, followed by a more intense flame, the whole ground seemed to tremble, and the entire city gate was wrapped in huge fireballs rising up, which was the fire oil tank carried by Wei Jun was ignited!

Almost all of the more than 100 Wei soldiers in the vicinity were spared, but it caused an unexpected result for both sides, and the hub of the city gate was unexpectedly loosened by the shock wave.

"Your Majesty, look!" Cao Hong pointed to the city gate and shouted excitedly.

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Cao Hong's finger and saw that the city gate seemed to be loose, and he couldn't help but be happy. At this time, officers at the front also found out about the situation.

He immediately ordered a group of soldiers to ram the gates with a simple ram, while the crossbowmen used all their strength to suppress the gatehouse.

Hundreds of Wei soldiers carried improvised rams and rushed towards the city gate, and thousands of crossbowmen desperately poured arrows on the city gate tower. And the army that stormed the city wall along the ladder seemed to be attacking more violently.

At this time, the Wei army had already gained several footholds on the city wall, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely around the footholds, and the battle was very tragic.

The Wei soldiers slammed the city gate with a battering hammer, and the gate let out a mournful roar under the impact of the Wei army.

The strong crossbowmen kept firing arrows, the rain of arrows roared, and the soldiers of the Kushan Army on the tower of the city gate were shot to the ground one by one.

The Kushan army also seemed to be aware of the danger of imminent advance, and the crossbowmen returned fire without dying, while the soldiers in charge of casting the 'divine fire' threw the 'divine fire' one by one from the city wall.

The crisp sound of crackling came and went, and there were constantly Wei soldiers engulfed in fireballs, and then soldiers filled the places of the dead.

Suddenly, a soldier who was about to throw the 'divine fire' under the city wall was knocked down by an arrow, and the 'divine fire' in his hand rolled to the side, and the soldiers of the Guishan Army who saw this scene couldn't help but feel dead, and with a soft sound, a fireball rose in the city gate tower, and several Guishan soldiers were burned by the fire and jumped off the city wall.

There was chaos on the tower of the city gate, and several personal soldiers escorted Yue Kefeng and hurriedly retreated.

Yue Kefeng grabbed the shirt of a general and said urgently: "Lead the army to the city gate immediately!" Bring more 'divine fire'! ”

"Yes!"

With a loud bang, the Wei army finally crashed open the city gate.

"Good!" Cao Cao couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Thousands of Wei troops shouted violently and rushed towards the city gate.

The forward battalion of the Fifth Army Corps, which was the pressing position, also rushed towards the city gate.

However, an unexpected scene happened next, an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly came from the city gate, the whole ground shook suddenly, and some Wei soldiers who were close to it were shaken to the ground, and a huge fire meteor fell from the sky above the city gate, and the fireball was wrapped in countless wreckage, and the scene was extremely shocking.

When everyone came to their senses, they saw that the city gate no longer existed, only a high pile of rubble, and the Kushan people themselves had destroyed their city gate. (To be continued.) )
