Guan Yu really didn't expect Mao Jue to be so decisive, never surrender, and fight to the end, which made Guan Yu have some respect for Mao Jue, he knew that Mao Jue knew very well the situation of Wei in his heart, Taiyuan was isolated, either perished in the siege, or broke through in the fierce battle, but Mao Jue still refused to surrender, which can only show that he wants dignity and integrity.

Although Guan Yu admired Mao Jue's integrity in his heart, Cao Jun's refusal to surrender also made him feel deeply shameless, Guan Yu was slightly angry, at this time, Guan Ping stepped forward and saluted: "The child is willing to lead the army to attack the first battle and conquer Taiyuan City!" ”

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Wu'er can lead fifteen thousand troops to attack Beicheng!" ”

Next to him, Wu Ban also hugged his fists and said: "The heavy infantry is willing to help Xiaoguan attack the city!" ”

Guan Yu didn't want the heavy infantry to attack the city, the heavy infantry training is not easy, generally used to deal with the cavalry, even if the siege is also used in the very difficult Xiongguan Pass, and although Taiyuan City is tall and strong, but the defenders are insufficient, it is still relatively easy to take, with heavy infantry is a bit of a waste of killing chickens with cattle slaughtering knives.

But Wu Ban's attitude was very resolute, he knew that there were not many opportunities for meritorious service, they had to seize every opportunity for meritorious service, and His Royal Highness the King of Han sent them to Bingzhou, that is, he hoped that they would make a difference in the battle of Bingzhou.

Wu Ban saw Guan Yu's hesitation, and bowed down again and said: "The heavy infantry is willing to go out to capture Taiyuan, and I implore General Guan to agree!" ”

Guan Yu was finally moved by Wu Ban's persistence, and he smiled a little: "Since General Wu insists, the heavy infantry will fight in the second round of siege!" ”

Wu Ban was overjoyed, "Thank you, General Guan!" ”

．．．．．．．．

The war finally broke out, all the Cao troops in the city were put into battle, 2,000 Cao troops shot 20 heavy trebuchets, the huge trebuchet was about three zhang high, and there was a stone pocket hanging behind the long arm, which was pulled by 100 people, and the boulder of nearly 100 catties could be thrown 300 steps away.

The soldiers of the Cao army watched nervously as the black pressed the enemy army to rush up, and the ladders were full of Han soldiers who were ready to attack the city, and the enemy army had already entered within three hundred steps, at this time, the drums on the head of the city were beating, and the tooth general gave an order, "Fire!" “

Twenty trebuchets at the head of Taiyuan City started at the same time, and their long arms swung out, throwing eighty or ninety pounds of boulders into the air, and twenty boulders spun in the air, roaring and smashing towards the dense crowd.

'Boom! The boulder smashed into the snow, rolling in the crowd, the red snow foam rose into the air, and more than a dozen people were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, which was unbearable to see, and one after another boulders smashed into the crowd, and the screams were heard one after another.

'Click! A ladder was hit, the ladder was broken into several pieces, dozens of people who climbed on the ladder fell down one after another, and the roaring boulder smashed into the ladder, the Han army ladder system was excellent, there were exquisite hinges and wedges, but the ladder still could not block the impact of the boulder.

In just 100 steps, 10 ladders were destroyed by boulders, but more than 50 ladders were gradually approaching the city wall.

In the sky, a huge stone was rolling, whistling and smashing to the ground, in just a quarter of an hour, the trebuchet launched four rounds, and eighty boulders smashed into the enemy group, causing nearly 700 casualties, but the Han army did not stop, they fought bravely, and soon rushed into the range of bows and arrows.

The arrows of the Cao army on the city are like rain, 4,000 arrows are intensively shot at the enemy, the arrows are used to defend the city, they are longer and heavier than the cavalry arrows, and they will shoot at the enemy with their own weight when they are shot from a high place, and the lethality is extremely strong.

The Han army raised its shield to greet each other, and the Han army had two kinds of shields, one was a round shield covered with double cowhide, which was strong and strong, light and easy to carry, and was used by the main force of the Han army, and almost every soldier had one such shield.

The other is the heavy shield, the shield plate is thick, the shield surface is huge, it can cover the whole body, and it can also resist the shooting of the crossbow thirty steps away, and the heavy shield is generally carried by the heavy shield crossbow army.

Three thousand heavy shield crossbow army under the city with heavy shields to cover, heavy crossbows to shoot at the city, although the Cao soldiers on the city also have shield defense, but their shields can not resist the heavy crossbow strong crossbow arrows, many shields were shot through by arrows, the Cao army behind the shield was killed by heavy arrows, and a piece of soldiers screamed and fell off the city.

The ladder gradually approached the city wall, hundreds of soldiers pulled the rope back violently, and a ladder six or seven zhang high was pulled up, and dozens of Han soldiers were attached to the ladder.

'Boom! With a loud bang, the broken ice splashed everywhere, the first cloud ladder set up the city, followed by more than 30 cloud ladders successively set up the city head, thousands of Han soldiers rushed up like an ant colony, cut with knives, stabbed with spears, shot with arrows, desperately rushed to the city, the arrows on the city were like dense rain, rolling wood and stones fell down like hailstones, knives and spears stabbed, flesh and blood flew sideways.

The soldiers of the Cao army used a long fork to fork the ladder and pushed it outward, and a long ladder was pushed out, and it flipped backwards and down, and the ladder screamed with a terrible sound.

As the soldiers of the Han army under the city began to counterattack, the arrows rained down and shot towards the city, and the soldiers of the Cao army were constantly shot, screaming and falling from the city, and the casualties gradually increased.

The frontal battle has entered the most brutal stage, the city is like a rain of arrows, people continue to fall from arrows, one after another ladders set up the city wall, the Han soldiers become bloody and crazy, regardless of their lives to climb up.

They fought fiercely with shields in one hand and spears and knives in the other, and boulders fell from their heads, and a few soldiers screamed and fell down the ladder, but immediately people swarmed up.

Cao soldiers shot arrows from both sides, the arrows were sharp, straight through the leather armor, and the strings of Han soldiers on the ladder were shot and fell off the ladder, but soon, the Han soldiers no longer cared about the top of their heads, and protected the shields on both sides, and the Han soldiers who were hit by the arrows gradually decreased.

On the head of the city, there are dozens of Cao soldiers in front of each ladder and the Han army, on a cloud ladder in the west of the city, Guan Ping holds a shield and a big knife, he has killed the red eye, he led dozens of Han soldiers in the fierce battle with the surging Cao army on the head of the city, they face the elite soldiers of the Xiahou clan, a tall physique, stout like an ox, holding a shield, waving a long knife and a sharp spear.

The spear sprinted, the sword slashed, the fight was bloody, a Han soldier on the ladder was cut in the forehead, the blood gushed out, he turned down the city on his back, another Han soldier waved a spear from behind and rushed up, the spear pierced Cao Jun's chest, and picked him off the city......

Guan Ping used his shield to push away the Cao army, the first to jump on the city, and in an instant, dozens of Cao army's spears stabbed from all sides, Guan Ping shouted, waved the big knife, and killed more than a dozen Cao soldiers in a row.

Guan Ping rushed to the head of the city, so that there was a gap in the defense of the ladder of the Cao army, and the soldiers of the Han army who were suppressed on the ladder seized the opportunity, and in an instant, more than a dozen Han soldiers followed Guan Ping and rushed to the head of the city.

And at this moment, a cold arrow came from the side, Guan Ping was caught off guard, and was shot in the left arm by an arrow.

．．．．．．．．

Guan Ping was injured and was rescued by the soldiers, and the offensive of the Han army was also blocked, but at this moment, the dull drums in the Han army camp sounded again, and the five thousand heavily armored infantry troops finally entered the battle, and the towering nest car appeared, and the overwhelming red flags were flying.

At the head of the city, Mao Jue felt the huge pressure, and he couldn't care about the defense of the southern city, so he shouted loudly: "Transfer another two thousand from the southern city to support the northern city!" ”

Mao Jue issued an order to concentrate his forces, and the 3,000 Cao troops that were originally defending in the southern city were transferred back to the 2,000 army and joined the fierce battle for the northern city.

More than 20 giant-like nest carts were pulled by the bullocks, and drove towards the head of Taiyuan City step by step, and 5,000 heavy armored infantry followed behind the nest carts, they held sabers in their hands, and their steps were slow and heavy.

At this time, the moat outside the city of Taiyuan had frozen, and was laid with wooden planks by the Han army, and Cao Jun threw barrels of fire oil from the city, and the rockets ignited the fire oil, and there were flames everywhere, and thick smoke shrouded the city wall of Taiyuan.

At this time, eighty percent of the defenders of Taiyuan City were concentrated in the north city, and the remaining three city walls were empty, and the Han army could attack from the remaining three city walls, but Guan Yu also had a heart, he wanted to break through Taiyuan from the north city, so that the Han army could seize Taiyuan City with strong combat effectiveness.

The Han army besieging the city has invested 25,000 people, under the city wall, 15,000 Han army bowmen and crossbowmen arrows are like rain, and the overwhelming arrows are so overwhelming that the Cao soldiers can't raise their heads, and even the Cao army's trebuchets are forced to stop, and the Cao soldiers have fallen to the ground to avoid the powerful arrow array of the Han army.

At this time, the ordinary soldiers of the Han army had basically stopped attacking, and they pushed the nest chariot to form a shield wall to cover the advance of the nest chariot and the heavy infantry, and all the Han army became the assist of the heavy infantry, and they pinned all their hopes on the strongest army of the Han army.

Mao Jue's voice was hoarse and he couldn't shout, but he also knew that the fiercest attack of the Han army was coming, so he lowered his voice and pointed to the giant-like nest car in the distance and whispered: "To meet the nest car, the Han army will never be allowed to enter the city!" ”

At this time, the arrows under the city gradually disappeared, and the Cao soldiers got up again, they quickly assembled, holding spears and knives, ready to meet the impact of the Han soldiers in the nest car, more than 20 huge nest cars finally arrived at the head of the city, 5,000 heavy armored infantry is the second wave of attack, there are already 1,000 Han soldiers standing on the siege platform of each nest car in the nest car, waiting for the moment of attack.

More than 20 nest cars finally leaned against the city wall, the huge wooden plank in front of the platform at the top of the nest car fell, set up the city head, forming an air bridge, and the fifty Han soldiers on the siege platform brandished their war knives and rushed towards the city head, and behind them, the heavy armored infantry climbing up the stairs was constantly emerging.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the city was full of dead corpses, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the Han army's 50,000 army had pressed down to 30,000 people, and the strength of the army occupied an absolute advantage, and they gradually began to gain the upper hand.

There have been 2,000 nearly 2,000 heavy armored infantry rushed to the head of the city, and the Cao army fought fiercely at the head of the city, the combat effectiveness of the heavy armored infantry was extremely amazing, they were twenty people in a row, advancing in formation, under the long chopping knife, the Cao army soldiers were ambushed with corpses, flesh and blood flying, and the Cao army was defeated and retreated.

As more and more Han soldiers rushed to the city, Cao's defeat was assured.

"Hurry up, the head of the city can't be defended!" A Cao soldier rushed to report.

Mao Jue drew his sword sharply and strode towards the densest place of the Han army.

There were still the last 3,000 Cao soldiers at the head of the city, although they were all elite veterans, but in the face of the bloody battle of the Han army's heavy infantry and the piles of broken corpses of their companions, they were finally frightened back by death, began to panic, and turned around and fled to the city.

"Strategist, go!" Several soldiers shouted at Mao Jue.

Seeing that the general situation had gone, Mao Jue shouted in a hoarse voice: "All the soldiers have withdrawn from the city!" ”

Mao Jue gave the order to retreat, and thousands of Cao soldiers finally broke down, threw off their armor and fled to the city, and the road was crowded with Cao soldiers who were rushing to run, and more than a dozen soldiers were squeezed down the city wall in the run, screaming and falling down the city.

At this time, the horn of the Han army's victory sounded, the city gate was opened, and tens of thousands of Han troops rushed into the city of Taiyuan like a tide.

．．．．．．．．

The loss of Taiyuan meant that the last fortress of the Cao army in Bingzhou was conquered, and it also meant that the Han army captured the entire Bingzhou and opened the strategic route to Hebei, and ten days later, Liu Jing personally led an army of 100,000 to arrive in Taiyuan.

The Han army rested in Taiyuan for three days, and Liu Jing led an army of 130,000 troops through the Jingcheng main road and advanced to Hebei.
