Chapter 1238: Design

Some stone bullets hit the head of the city wall, smashing the debris of those low walls sideways, and some Yangzhou troops were directly smashed off the city wall by stone bullets and fell into flesh, which made the morale of the Yangzhou army hit again, and even those overseers were a little trembling.

After firing hundreds of stone bullets, Cao Cao gave the order to siege the city, the deterrence was enough, then it was time to have something practical, and the siege equipment was immediately pushed forward by the buffalo and went straight to the city wall.

The Warlords on the city walls also reacted, shouting loudly for the soldiers to be ready, pick up the logs and stones, and throw them down as soon as the enemy approached.

However, most of the soldiers here were inexperienced and got too close to the walls, and when the archers approached the walls to suppress them, they were all shot, and then fell off the walls screaming, causing the other soldiers to immediately retreat for fear of being shot again.

The ladder cart and the chariot also approached the city wall, and the archers on the chariot also used those shooting holes to shoot at the city wall, and the chariot was almost level with the city wall, at least better than the angle of the archers on the ground, and the soldiers on the city wall continued to receive the blow.

After the ladder and springboard were put on the city wall, the siege battle officially began, Sun Yang's soldiers held the Pu knife in their mouths, held a shield in one hand, climbed the ladder with the other, and climbed up quickly, while the soldiers on the building car were much simpler, hurting the top of the building car like going up the stairs, and then rushed over the springboard and pounced on the city wall, opening up more opportunities for the people behind.

After the Yangzhou army on the city wall was scared at the beginning, they also began to go crazy, and the rabbits were in a hurry and bit people, not to mention these people, in order to survive, they could only kill the enemy desperately.

Although the soldiers of Sun Yang's army were elite, the Yangzhou army had the advantage of geographical advantages, and they were condescending on the city wall, and all kinds of attacks could be maximized, while the soldiers of Sun Yang's army had to suffer a lot of damage before they could climb to the city wall.

After losing three or four thousand soldiers, Cao Cao saw that there was no hope of attacking the city, so he called in to collect his troops, and after the soldiers of Sun Yang's army retreated, the Yangzhou army also threw out fire oil and burned the siege equipment, so as not to be used by Sun Yang's army again.

Although Sun Yang's army lost three or four thousand people, the Yangzhou army also suffered more than two thousand casualties, which was already the best result, and the loss of so many people on the defending side of the city has proved that there is little hope for defending the city.

There was a sad atmosphere from top to bottom in Wu County, especially Sun Quan and his subordinates, who no longer saw any hope of victory, and if they were captured by Sun Yang's army, they really didn't know what to do.

But there are some people in Wu County who are active, they are the original family of Yangzhou, because they were continuously squeezed by Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan, and they have already had a lot of hatred for them.

That night, someone quietly climbed down from the city wall, took advantage of the night to come to Cao Cao's camp, and then told Cao Cao that they were willing to do internal response, and tomorrow night, raise a fire as a signal, open the city gate, and welcome Cao Cao's army into the city.

"Feng Xiao, do you say these people are sincere, or is it the blue-eyed child's plan?"

After the arrivals were taken down, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia, I don't know if Cao Cao and Guo Jia are compatible, and the first time they cooperated, they were very tacit, which made people feel that they should have been monarchs and ministers, but unfortunately they are all working under Sun Yang now.

"It should be true that the person who came, after all, the Sun family was opposed by the scholars here in Yangzhou, but this person came out so easily, I am afraid that he has been informed by the blue-eyed child, maybe the blue-eyed child will plan and ambush our army, so he has to guard against it."

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, he must make preparations with both hands, otherwise he will be ambushed, but it will be a big trouble, not only can restore the morale of the Yangzhou army, but also hit the morale of the people on his side, and will also be a respite by Sun Quan.

"Yes, we can't trust them casually, but we can't afford to miss this opportunity either."

Cao Cao frowned and said, this is an opportunity, you can't miss it, if you seize it, you can capture Wu County more easily, seize Sun Quan, if you let it go, you will have to carry out a siege battle with heavy losses, but this opportunity must be treated carefully.

The next day, it was still a siege, and if the siege could be successful during the day, there would be no need to take that risk, but the resistance of the Yangzhou army was still very strong, and Cao Cao could only make the soldiers retreat.

Then the next thing is to wait for the other party to open the door and dedicate the city at night, but Cao Cao will not believe it all, he has to make follow-up preparations.

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao's army extinguished the fire, quietly gathered in front of the camp, waiting for the other party to send a signal, sure enough, at the agreed fourth watch, a torch appeared on the city tower was shaking, the army immediately lightened its pace, close to the city wall, the city gate made a squeak, and slowly opened, revealing the black city inside.

After receiving the order, Sun Yang's army rushed into the city and entered the city, but after entering, they found that the streets behind the city wall had been blocked by debris, and they had only one way to go.

As soon as the soldiers set up the shield array, a large number of archers appeared on the surrounding houses, and the arrows flew towards Sun Yang's army like locusts, but the soldiers were prepared early and prepared shields to cover them.

"Shoot me, kill them all, and see how many of you have to die."

Sun Quan, who was standing in a house in the distance, shouted a little frantically, those families contacted Cao Cao, but he was the first to understand, but he was not so eager to debunk it, but was ready to set a trap to wipe out Cao Cao's army that had entered the city.

Now seeing that Cao Cao's army was ambushed, Sun Quan was extremely proud, as if he had won Cao Cao and Sun Yang.

But at this time, suddenly a large amount of fire appeared on the city wall, and at the same time, there was a sound of shouting and killing, which surprised Sun Quan, what was going on, but he soon knew the reason, a soldier covered in blood came to Sun Quan and told Sun Quan that Cao Cao's army took advantage of the importance of setting up an ambush on his side, and actually climbed up from the city wall with a ladder, and now it has occupied the city wall.

Sun Quan screamed miserably and immediately asked people to guard the city wall, but it was too late, and torches had already been lit on the city wall, which proved that Cao Cao's army had occupied the city wall, and those Cao Cao soldiers who were ambushed were still like turtles, strictly defending, and had no idea of taking the initiative to attack at all.
