For a time, the Cao army on the city wall felt that the mountain collapsed and cracked, the rubble flew wildly, and the sergeant who was hit was smashed into meat sauce on the spot, and the rubble was wrapped in flesh and blood, and many soldiers around were hit by the rubble, and they were smashed one by one and howled miserably, hugging their heads and running away, and even throwing down their weapons and running under the city wall.

As a result, there was chaos on the city walls, and the sergeants looked for cover in all directions, and many stoves that had just been built with stones and bricks to boil water were knocked over and crushed over, and the boiling water was splashed on the city walls, and many people's feet were burned, and one by one they were burned and screamed.

There were also a few stoves that had just boiled water that were directly hit by stones, and drops of boiling water splashed in all directions, splashing on the faces of the defenders, and the sergeants covered their faces and screamed.

As soon as the Flame Army's trebuchet appeared, it caused a great deterrent to Cao Jun's heart, and they were originally not high in morale and did not have a strong will to resist, so they only hoped to leave this Shura battlefield as soon as possible at this moment.

The rammed earth city wall of Yecheng itself is in disrepair, and many locations have been severely weathered, where can it withstand the bombardment of a large number of trebuchets, the soil and bricks on the city wall have been smashed and peeled off and fallen, the earthen wall buttresses have been smashed and collapsed, and the city wall is full of debris flying and dusty.

The sergeants, officers, and generals of the Cao army, including Li Tong, all lay on the ground of the city wall and under the city and did not dare to show their heads, which shows how dense the stones fired by the trebuchets are and how destructive they are.

Many people are hiding under the city wall and shivering, under this kind of blow and offensive, At this moment, the vast majority of the Cao army has no confidence to be able to hold on, even if the Flame Army does not rush over and climb the city wall, and smash it like this, or in a few days, some sections of the city wall that are not strong will be smashed down, at that time, the Flame Army can rush in directly along the gap, and they dare not think about that scene anymore.

Dozens of trebuchets threw stones for half an hour, smashing piles of rocks like hills above and below the walls.

"Lord Qiqi, the stones you brought today are almost finished!" The captain of the siege equipment battalion ran over to report to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng immediately ordered: "Order Huang Yi to wave his army to attack the city, when our army personnel arrive at the city, the trebuchet must stop firing immediately, so as not to hurt his own people, this scale must be controlled, and the cooperation between the two sides must be just right!" ”

"Order!"

Huang Yi received Qin Feng's order, he pulled out his war knife and pointed forward: "The siege begins, rush-"

One by one, a thousand captives rushed to the city wall with shields on their shoulders and swords, and some rushed to the front with siege ladders.

"Kill—kill—"

"Chong, rush to the city wall and you can have a full meal!"

As the captives rushed towards the walls, a large number of stones flew over their heads and smashed against the walls, and a deafening sound could be heard from afar, and the walls could be heard shaking, shaking, and even groaning.

Hearing a large number of noisy shouts and killings coming from outside the city, Li who was hiding under the wall battlements informed that the Flame Army was attacking, he stood up and took a look, and saw a large number of enemy troops rushing towards him violently, and immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Defense, everyone stands up to defend, those who violate the order are killed, and those who escape without permission are killed!" ”

At this time, there were still stones falling into the sky, smashing the rubble and flying wildly, and the soldiers of the Cao army had to climb to the side of the wall to stand up and prepare for defense despite the casualties, and some archers began to fire arrows at the enemy troops rushing under the city.

The archers were much worse off due to the constant flying of falling stone debris, and the captives rushed to the city walls with almost no casualties.

One after another siege ladders were erected on the city wall, and Li Tong immediately yelled and commanded the soldiers to knock down the siege ladders.

Some siege ladders were not yet fully erected, and the climbers were still at the bottom, so they were easily knocked down, while some siege ladders were already erected, and the hooks at the top were upside down on the walls, and the defenders could not easily let them break away unless they smashed the battlements.

Qin Feng observed that the military quality of this group of captives was still okay, and under the stimulation of gaining freedom and life, wealth, and officials, they exerted unimaginable ruthlessness and bravery.

While observing, he said to Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Chen Zhi and others: "I dare to assert that they have never worked so hard under Cao Cao!" ”

Xu Shu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "This is all Mr. Wenhe's suggestion!" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly and modestly: "Don't dare, don't dare, carving insect skills, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

Wuyang County, county government.

Cao Cao had been retreating here with the remnants of the defeated generals for two days, and Cao Cao, who was frightened and fled all the way to the point of almost prostration, finally recovered after two days of recuperation.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!" Cheng Yu walked in quickly.

Cao Cao asked: "Zhongde, what happened, but Qin Feng's husband chased after him with his troops?" ”

"That's not it, with General Li stationed in Yecheng, it is impossible for Qin Feng to bypass Yecheng and kill here, he is waving his army to attack Yecheng at the moment, according to the report of the spies, Qin Feng used more than 20,000 horses, if Qin Feng really ignores the casualties, he is determined to take Yecheng, even if General Li has more food and grass, no matter how sufficient the ordnance is, he will not be able to defend it, and it is a matter of time before Yecheng falls!"

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "More than 20,000 people? Where did he get so many soldiers and horses? ”

"Yes, most of the sergeants who were scattered and fled by our army were captured by the Flame Army, and now Qin Feng is using these captives to attack Yecheng!" Cheng Yu reported the news reported by the spies to Cao Cao 1510.

Cao Cao calmed down after listening to Cheng Yu's report, he had to reassess his understanding of Qin Feng, this person would actually use the captives to attack the city, he was not afraid that those captives would defect?

No, no, since Qin Feng dared to do this, he must not be afraid of the captives defecting

The spies did not report the specific details, only detected that Qin Feng was attacking the city with prisoners, Cao Cao couldn't guess what method Qin Feng used to make the prisoners dare not defect, and the problem now is that if Ye Cheng is beaten like this, it will definitely not last long.

"Come on, go and call Xun You, Hua Xin and the others over!"

After the arrival of the military strategists, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to introduce the situation, and then asked, "Everyone, how should we deal with it now?" Let Ye City be recaptured by Qin Feng? Or give up Yecheng and find a way to send a letter to Li Tong, so that he can lead the army to break through the siege? ”

Xun You stood up and arched his hand, "Prime Minister, judging from the current situation, Qin Feng's determination to recapture Yecheng is beyond doubt, the imperial court wants to mobilize troops and horses from all over the country to reinforce, but I am afraid that the situation does not allow it, once the soldiers and horses from all over the country are deployed, the unruly princes around will inevitably take the opportunity to pounce on them from all directions and bite them!" ”
