Xiahoudun's attack on the Han army's Dazhai has reached an almost crazy state, at this time Xiahoudun has received the news that the capital of Ye is broken, and he is like a beast about to be trapped to death, launching a desperate attack on the Han army.

At noon, the Cao army located in the east of the military village launched another crazy siege, by the Cao army commander Xiahou Dan personally led the 30,000 troops to attack, there is not only a ramp in the east of the military village, and the height of the hill is slightly lower, you can climb up with the earthen siege ladder, in addition, the terrain on the east side is flat and open, you can line up the attack array.

The army was followed by hundreds of siege ladders made of simple trees, and Xiahoudun had made a desperate bet and sent his most elite soldiers.

The army of 30,000 was arranged in five phalanxes, each of which was separated by a hundred paces, like five huge black carpets, which rose and fell on the earth, and the army was murderous, and they gradually approached the hill from two miles away, and gathered into a sea of troops, with drums like thunder, trumpets and trumpets, flags covering the sky and the sun, spears like forests, shields like mountains, and the black of death in the sunlight.

Xiahoudun rode on the war horse, pointed at the city with his war knife, and shouted: "Forward! ”

"Woo~~"

The low sound of the horn resounded through the heavens and the earth, and more than a dozen rough wooden doumeng were erected in the middle of the Cao army's ranks, which were used to resist the flying stones of the Han army.

Although Cao's army mainly attacked the east, Liu Jing, the king of Han, did not add more defenders to him, and he still only had 13,000 men under his command, which caused him great pressure.

Thirty giant trebuchets creaked apart, the swarthy trebuchets stood on the hill, like thirty demonic beasts, a hundred-pound boulder was put into the bomb pocket, and more than 100 people pulled twenty arm-thick belts, waiting for the order to launch.

In the middle of the trebuchet were seven thousand crossbowmen, who were half-kneeling on the ground, lined up in three rows, raising their crossbows and aiming at Cao's army, which was getting closer and closer.

Behind the crossbowmen were three thousand archers, who held longbows and arrows, and the thick arrows of four feet long had been attached to the bowstrings, the arrows with thick fingers, the sharp tips of the arrows were streamlined, there were bloodletting grooves on the four sides, and the cold tips of the arrows pointed to the sky.

The enemy army had gradually entered the range of the trebuchet, and Jiang Qin gave the order to shoot, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Shoot! ”

The red flag waved, and all the troops struggled, only to see the long arms of thirty demonic beasts waving out, and thirty boulders flying in the air, roaring and smashing down the hill.

The soldiers of the Cao army shouted and hid under Doumeng, but there were still a large number of soldiers who had nowhere to hide, they shouted and dodged everywhere, and the boulder fell, 'Bang! With a loud bang, the dust flew, and several soldiers couldn't dodge, and were smashed into meat sauce by the boulder, and the boulder continued to roll forward, knocking over dozens of people in a row before stopping.

A boulder hit Doumeng, with a loud 'click' sound, Doumeng was smashed, and hundreds of soldiers crawled out from below, but the stone was rebounded by Doumeng, and popped forward more than 20 steps, rushing into the crowd, and a miserable scream sounded.

Although the Han army's trebuchet brought nearly 1,000 casualties to the Cao army, it was simply unable to stop the attack of more than 30,000 troops, and as the drums of the Cao army in the rear line accelerated, the soldiers began to run, and tens of thousands of Cao soldiers rushed towards the hill like an ant colony.

The drums beat again, and the arrows of the Han army were fired together, and the dense arrows shot like a storm towards the Cao soldiers who were running, and the soldiers were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground screaming......

Liu Jing stood on the sentry tower and watched the Cao army attack coldly, he didn't take the attack of the Cao army soldiers in his eyes, even if the Cao army attacked the hill, could he defeat himself and restore Cao Wei's country?

In the past seven days of fierce fighting, the Cao army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, while the Han army suffered less than 3,000 casualties, and the balance of forces has been unbalanced.

What's more important is that Liu Jing saw that the morale of the Cao army was gradually fading, and the 30,000 troops attacking now were the most elite troops of the Cao army, what does this mean? Xiahoudun is desperate.

Liu Jing gave Zhao Yun an order to attack Yedu in three days, he believed in Zhao Yun's ability, and in terms of time, Yedu should have been breached two days ago.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing turned around and ordered: "Order Xu Sheng to lead 8,000 spearmen to support the defense!" ”

"Obey!" The soldier hurried down the sentry post.

The dead corpses under the Dongshan Gang quickly piled up, and the blood flowed into the city, seeping out of the corpse pile, staining the earth red, and as Xu Sheng led 8,000 Han army spearmen to rush to support, the Han army's counterattack became more and more sharp.

There was the bombardment of trebuchets at a distance, and there were ten thousand crossbowmen shooting intensively within a hundred paces, and within thirty paces, eight thousand spearmen exerted a powerful lethality, and one short spear shot down like raindrops, and it was difficult to have a living Cao army soldier within thirty steps in front of the hill.

The casualties of the Cao army soldiers increased rapidly, and in just half an hour, the casualties of the Cao army exceeded 5,000 people, and except for the use of the slope to attack, the Cao army's siege ladder did not play any role, and the morale of the Cao army suffered a heavy setback, and gradually became sluggish.

Xiahoudun's heart gradually despaired, he knew that it was impossible for the Cao army to capture the Han army's Dazhai, and it would only cause more casualties to the Cao army.

At this time, Guo Huai rode his horse and galloped over, shouting: "General, it is not a way to fight like this, the casualties are too heavy." ”

Xiahoudun's face twitched, and he reluctantly gave an order, "Retreat!" ”

'When! While! While! The bell rang for the retreat, and the demoralized Cao army fled backwards like a tide, the ranks were chaotic and hasty, and they had long lost the momentum they had when they first attacked.

The cheers of the Han soldiers on the hill suddenly resounded in the sky.

．．．．．．．．．

At the same time, an astonishing news quickly spread in the camp that Ye had been broken by the Han army, Cao Zhi had surrendered, and Cao Wei had perished.

This news shocked all the soldiers, although it was unacceptable, but not many people doubted its authenticity, everyone knew that the Han army had hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yellow River, and now the main force of the Cao army was taken to the north, and Ye was only guarded by tens of thousands of new soldiers, can they hold the city?

Even if the soldiers are closed to the news and don't know the details, but the generals are all clear, the generals of the Cao army began to panic, after all, most of the people's families are in the capital of Ye, if Ye is broken, what should they do?

Soon, hundreds of generals above the military marquis level gathered in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, they were anxious, and they asked Xiahoudun to come out to clarify the facts, and in the big tent, Xiahoudun, Guo Huai, Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang were also urgently discussing countermeasures.

At this time, Zhang Liao said in a low voice: "It's better to make it clear to the generals that Ye has not been lost, this is just our trick to lure the troops, and then we will pretend to retreat to the south to lure the main force of the Han army to come and pursue, so that we can fight back and win in defeat." ”

Guo Huai shook his head, "Now the army's heart is shaken, as long as we retreat south, I'm afraid it will immediately trigger the soldiers to flee. ”

Cao Zhang next to him has been silent, his 20,000 Youzhou army was swallowed up by Xiahou Tang step by step, 10,000 cavalry were borrowed to pile up the ramp and then not returned, was controlled by Zhang Liao, he hated Xiahou Tang in his heart, and secretly regretted that he should not come to Yedu, now that Ye has been broken, where should he Cao Zhang?

Xiahoudun glanced at him and asked, "What about Gongzi Zhang's opinion?" ”

Cao Zhang didn't want Xiahoudun to see his thoughts, he hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and said respectfully: "Returning to the general, I agree with General Guo's opinion, now we really can't act rashly, and we can still hold on to food for half a month, the top priority should be to reward the army, boost morale, clarify rumors, and wait for the army's heart to stabilize dìng, and then consider the plan to lure the army." ”

Xiahoudun was in a dilemma at this time, although Zhang Liao's strategy was feasible, but Guo Huai also made sense, if he didn't stabilize the army's heart first, as long as the army retreated, there would inevitably be a large number of soldiers fleeing, Xiahoudun had to sigh and said: "Let's go back first to stabilize the army's heart, and after the army's heart is stable, then consider the next step." ”

Everyone also knew that Xiahoudun was actually helpless, and they all sighed in their hearts and left, and hundreds of generals guarding outside the camp also left one after another under the persuasion of Zhang Liao, Guo Huai and others, and the whole night, Cao's army camp was full of uneasiness and pessimism.

At the time of the third watch, Xiahoudun was suddenly pushed awake by his own soldiers, "General, wake up quickly!" Something went wrong. ”

Xiahoudun instinctively sat up and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

"Just now Dongying came to report that Gongzi Zhang led 10,000 troops to rush out of the camp and go east."

"Ahh

Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he had already suspected that Cao Zhang had different intentions, but he just needed the army to stabilize it, so he didn't fight Cao Zhang's opponent for a long time, but took the method of gradually annexing his army, but he didn't expect this bastard to run away at a critical moment.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, Xiahou was stunned, he didn't care about Cao Zhang's affairs, and walked out of the camp quickly, only to see a few scouts shouting: "There is an urgent military situation, we must see the general immediately!" ”

"What's going on?" Xiahoudun shouted.

Several scouts hurriedly said: "Report to the general, ten miles south of the barracks, countless Han troops, about more than 100,000 people, have been discovered, and they are killing our barracks." ”

Xiahoudun took two steps back, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted to the ground.

Liu Hu's 30,000 troops were stationed in Yedu, and Zhao Yun and Wen Ping led 180,000 troops to the north, and finally arrived in Gaoyi County, but Zhao Yun was still a step late, Cao Zhang led 10,000 troops to break through, with the arrival of Zhao Yun's army, Liu Jing also changed his strategy, no longer stuck to the military village, he issued an order for a counterattack, 100,000 troops rushed down Hanlonggang, and quickly surrounded the Cao army camp from the north, nearly 300,000 Han troops besieged the Cao army camp, at this time the Cao army was less than 60,000 troops, morale was low, the military heart was shaken, and the army was about to perish.
