I don't know how long it took, it seemed to be only a short moment, but it seemed to be as long as half a century, and the dense rushing of the Han army finally stopped. Xiahoudun had three criss-crossing sharp arrows stuck in his body, but fortunately he did not hurt the vital point, and blood flowed out along his wounds, from his body to the ground.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pressed Xiahoudun's shoulder, with a trace of bitterness on his face, and whispered to Xiahoudun: "Go to the city and bandage your wounds, Lone has lost his talent, and he must not lose you again." ”

Xiahoudun heard the helplessness and bitterness from Cao Cao's voice, and no one thought that Sun Yu would choose a suicidal way to help Ao Lie make up his mind to attack the city, which caused Cao Cao to be unprepared for a while, but was suppressed by the Han army's shooting.

Stretching out his hand to break the arrow shaft on his body, Xiahou Dan's majestic voice sounded: "Your lord, you don't need to bandage, and you immediately organize the soldiers to expand the defensive area." With that, Xiahoudun shouted at the few remaining Cao soldiers in the city: "Continue to arm!" Fast! We must block the next round of Han army's shooting! "Under a series of attacks such as red-clothed ballistas, thunderbolts, and the scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden, as well as the running fire of the Han army, most of the Cao army on the city was killed and wounded, and now there are only more than 3,000 people who can still be deployed according to Xiahou Dun's command. After commanding the Cao army at the head of the city to continue to operate, Xiahoudun shouted to the city again: "Continue to climb the city!" Fast! "The Cao army, who had already been waiting under the city, was a little stunned by this round of offensive of the Han army, although they did not have any damage because they were hiding under the city, but the various methods of the Han army, they saw it clearly, and the horror in their hearts far exceeded any previous moment, so they were a little sluggish, and it was not until Xiahoudun shouted that they reacted. He ran up to the city.

Seeing that the city was crowded with people, and a large number of Cao Jun had climbed the city wall, the corners of Ao Lie's mouth brought a trace of cold arc, raised his right hand and slashed down, shouting: "Full fire!" ”

After getting Ao Lie's order, the Long Xiang Heavy Cavalry and the Hundred Battles Blood Kill were the first to act, two elite cavalry with different styles quickly interspersed on the battlefield, and came to a position swap, Long Xiang Heavy Cavalry ran from the west to the east, and the Hundred Battles Blood Kill ran from the east to the west. While completing the swap of positions in the run, the two elite cavalry pulled the bowstring again and carried out a second round of shooting, and more than 50,000 sharp arrows were thrown into the air, overwhelmingly falling towards the head of Wei City.

Following the two elite cavalry, the crossbow gunners commanded by the veteran Huang Zhong once again loaded the red-clothed crossbows and the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, and thousands of crossbows and three hundred large Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers flew up to the head of Wei City, with more than 50,000 sharp arrows of the two elite cavalry, and once again came to an indiscriminate fierce attack on the Cao army. Fire, explosions, shrapnel, crossbows, arrows. Flooding all parts of the city of Wei, bloodshed and death became the main theme among the soldiers of the Cao army at the head of the city.

Cao Cao, who had already retreated to a safe area, watched his subordinates be knocked down like leeks. Needless to say, the frustration in my heart is really a wrong step, and now it seems that Sun Yu is used to threaten Ao Lie. It's a wrong decision at all, and a woman who can be valued by Ao Lie must have something that ordinary women can't reach. And Sun Yu's characteristics happen to be soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he would rather die than drag Ao Lie down. Cao Cao started in order to save his face, and did not let too many soldiers climb the city, with Sun Yu's incense and jade died, Ao Lie instantly launched a fierce attack, causing Cao Cao to be in a passive situation from the beginning,

Even if it is now mobilized to rush to the head of the city to set up defenses, it is already a little late, the slightly narrow passage can not rush up too many people at one time, limited personnel, under the onslaught of the Han army, it is simply a drop in the bucket, and there is not much difference from a group of people who come to die.

After withstanding the two rounds of fierce attacks of the Han army, the number of Cao soldiers killed has reached 20,000 people, although most of the defensive equipment on the city has been properly arranged, but Cao Cao himself also knows that these ordinary defenses, at most, can only block the bows and arrows of the Han army, but they are absolutely unable to block the red-clothed crossbow and the heavenly maiden scattered flowers outside the city, in the face of absolute advanced technology, the Cao army soldiers can only be passively beaten, without the power to fight back.

Soon, the third wave of the Han army's offensive came again, this time not only the elite cavalry rushed, a large number of Han crossbowmen also participated, in the gap between the red-clothed ballista and the thunderbolt, with five people as a team, open the bow and arrow towards the head of Wei City to scatter, for a time, countless arrows covered every inch of the city, where exposed to the bunker and wet cowhide and other defensive fortifications outside the Cao army, no matter how lucky, there is no possibility of continuing to live.

The third wave of the Han army's fierce attack once again took the lives of tens of thousands of Cao soldiers, although the Cao army's defense has been basically completed, but the Han army's archers have also increased in, and the two offsets, the Han army still maintains the terrible efficiency of each offensive to take away nearly 10,000 Cao troops.

"King, we can't go on like this, the casualties of our army are too great, the morale has been discharged, Wei City, can no longer be defended, please order the temporary withdrawal of the army, find another strong city, and then make plans." Sima Yi's voice sounded behind Cao Cao.

Cao Cao turned his head, his eyes pierced Sima Yi's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Zhong Da, with your words, Lone can cure you of the crime of scattering the army's heart." ”

Sima Yi straightened his chest, his face was not afraid, and he said firmly: "Sima Yi is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he can exchange the lives of Yi alone for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Great Wei, Yi would rather be killed!" It's just that the current situation is critical, and our army is no longer able to fight, so we should abandon Wei County and save the lives of the soldiers as the best policy. ”

Xiahoudun, who was not far away, shouted: "Sima Yi! Do you dare to say that you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? You're a naked escape! If our army retreats, what will be the majesty of the king? Where does the majesty of my Great Wei remain? ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Prestige is maintained by people, if the generals and soldiers of our army are all exhausted, what is the use of prestige?" Whether the face is important for a while, or the lives of the soldiers are more important, General Yuan Rang must also be very clear. Sima Yi's words are clearly enlightening Xiahoudun, in fact, he is telling Cao Cao euphemistically, he is telling Cao Cao euphemistically, the face of the King of Wei is actually very insignificant compared with the lives of hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers, as long as the lives of the soldiers are preserved and the combat effectiveness is preserved, then there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future, but if the soldiers die here in vain, how can there be any prestige or not?

Cao Cao groaned and said: "Zhong Da's move can be described as abandoning the car to protect the commander, but if our army retreats from Wei County this time, how can you ensure that the city where our army is located can withstand the strong attack of the Han army?" ”

Sima Yi thought about it and said: "Yangping Pass, sixty miles away, is a fortified city, which belongs to Yanzhou, and is the first barrier in the north of Yanzhou, which is enough for our army to defend the city. What's more, although the weapons of the Han army are sharp, but Yi does not believe that such a powerful weapon can be easily created, when Xu Huang commanded the army before, he has never used such a powerful weapon, it can be seen that this batch of sharp weapons was brought back by Ao Lie from the Yizhou battlefield, after the Yizhou battlefield and today's consumption, there will be little left, as long as our army does a good job of fortifications in Yangping Pass, it is not difficult to resist the offensive of the Han army! ”

As if in order to completely convince Cao Cao, Sima Yi threw out another bombshell: "King, if the Han army gets Wei County, it will inevitably use two to three days to rectify, and our army can take advantage of this period to lead the water of the Yellow River to Ao Lie to have a water attack, we can't get Wei County, and what he Ao Lie finally gets can only be a dead city!" ”

Cao Cao looked shocked and asked in disbelief: "You mean, break the water of the Yellow River and pour it to the north?" In that case, if Ao Lie's handling is a little careless, I am afraid that many counties and counties in Jizhou will suffer from flooding, and even Yanzhou will be affected. ”

Sima Yi said fiercely: "King, those who achieve great things are not informal!" Didn't the king often say, 'I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me'? The terrain of Yangping Pass is quite high, there is no need to be afraid of waterlogging, our army hid in Yangping Pass, relying on the grain stored in the city, which is enough to hold out for a month. Besides, the excavation of the Yellow River this time, the main flow is still in the hinterland of Jizhou, and the places in Yanzhou will not be affected much, and the king will guide in time afterwards, and distribute some money and food to the people affected by the disaster, so not only will it not reduce the prestige of the king, but will make the people more grateful to Dade. As for how Ao Lie will clean up this mess, that is his business, and our army can also take advantage of Ao Lie's time to deal with the flooding of the Yellow River, regroup, and prepare for the next decisive battle. ”

During the period of conversation between Cao Cao and Sima Yi, the Han army had also reloaded the crossbow and the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, and launched the fourth fierce attack on the city of Wei City, and in a miserable cry, nearly 10,000 Cao soldiers lost their lives, at this moment, the city was full of corpses of Cao soldiers, broken arms and thighs can be seen everywhere, and the blood flowing out of the body gathered together, condensed into a flowing stream, with the slightest flame brought out by the explosion of the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, it is simply a living purgatory on earth.

The fourth onslaught of the Han army finally made Cao Cao accept Sima Yi's suggestion, he called Xiahoudun and Liu Ye to his side, and commanded in a low voice: "Yuan Rang quickly reorganize the troops and horses, retreat with Gu later, take away as much grain as possible in the city, and it is best not to leave Ao Lie a grain of rice!" Ziyang, you will stay behind the break, plant many banners at the head of the city, confuse the Han army, consume their firearms and crossbows as much as possible, and then choose the opportunity to retreat by yourself. Zhongda, you personally took a team of soldiers to dig the canal, and prepared to give Ao Lie a big gift! (To be continued......)
