When night fell, the torches inside and outside Wuguan were bright, shining as bright as day.

The offensive of the Cao army did not stop for a moment, the 30,000 army took turns many times, and nearly half of it had been lost, plus the wounded soldiers, there were only 10,000 capable fighters.

Xu Huang retreated from the front, his eyes were red and his face was tired, he had never fought such a difficult battle since he led the troops.

Even if it is to attack Yecheng, there is a chance to take advantage of it, but Wuguan is like an iron wall, impermeable, and there is no way except to attack from the front.

Just drank a bowl of porridge, the scouts came to report, and the Jingzhou army came with 3,000 reinforcements, and the vehicles lined up in a long line, as if transporting heavy weapons.

Xu Huang slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Even if he Liu Qi builds another martial arts, I will also take this place." ”

Xu Shangyan said: "There are a lot of injuries to people and horses, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that if you hold on for another ten days at most, do you have to ask Chang'an for help?" ”

Xu Huang thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "The failure to attack the city a year ago has made General Cao dissatisfied, if you ask for help again, you will laugh at it, stop the siege after two hours, and rest for the night." ”

Xu Shang was shocked: "General, if you withdraw from the army at this time, won't your previous achievements be wasted?" ”

Xu Huang smiled: "Do you still remember the prime minister's attack on Shouchun in the past?" ”

Xu Shang was just an overseer at that time, and the past was vivid, so he nodded and said: "The prime minister's deadline is three days, if you don't break the city, you will be killed!" So the three armies were killed, the military prestige was greatly boosted, and the soldiers rushed to the city first, and eliminated Yuan Shu in a battle. ”

Xu Huang nodded and said, "This is a place of death and then life!" The herald ordered the whole army to be dispatched tomorrow, and if the Wuguan cannot be broken within three days, we will all apologize with death! ”

Xu Shang's eyes widened: "General, how can this be made?" ”

Xu Huang sighed: "A certain prime minister, come to take the military pass, from winter to summer, nearly half a year has not made an inch, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost, if you don't break the pass, what face do you have to see the prime minister?" ”

Nearly three watches, the Cao army, which had been attacking for days, suddenly retreated, and Wuguan was rarely quiet, which made the defenders a little uncomfortable.

The defenders reported to Liu Qi, but they couldn't guess Cao's intentions, so they responded to all changes with no change, and asked the defenders to patrol carefully, and they just had a rest.

The next day, Xu Huang sent an order to the generals of each battalion: "Last night, I received the order of the prime minister: if you can't break through the pass within three days, the whole battalion will be beheaded." Each battalion selects elites to attack the city with all their might! ”

Cao Jun in the camp was all shocked, and immediately reorganized his weapons, carried wood, stone, bows and arrows, and all the soldiers and soldiers were full of spirits and prepared for the last fight.

Xu Huang came to Wuguan again, only to see the defenders of the city carrying vehicles, and there was a row of vehicles at the pass than before, and the archers retreated to the two wings.

"Hmph, this is the weapon that was shipped yesterday?"

Xu Huang looked at it from a distance, thinking that the car was filled with stones, fire oil, etc., and all of them fell down during the siege, how powerful could this be?

With the sound of drums, Cao Jun once again carried the ladder and pushed the cart, and under the cover of the catapult and the well, launched an attack on Wuguan.

Liu Qi stood in the city tower and watched the battle, only to see the crowd of people surging under the gate, arrows and stones like rain, countless people in the front row fell, and those in the back row stepped on the corpses of their companions.

Here, human life is like a mustard, and in the blink of an eye, how many people have died here, and there are no bones left, but not even a name is left, and it dissipates like the wind.

Xu Huang personally supervised the battle in front of the army, but if he retreated or hesitated, he took matters into his own hands and beheaded three people in a row, and the Cao army's offensive was like a stormy wave, constantly impacting the reef of Wuguan, wanting to swallow it.

Pang Tong observed the fighter plane, pointed to the well and ordered: "Prepare the crossbow, aim at the well and the well!" ”

There were three crossbows on each wing, and there were only three grooves on them, and the defenders pushed the direction, and the crossbows were aimed at the Cao army on the well.

With the wave of a red flag, only to hear the sound of a squeak, several black shadows flew out in the air.

Woooo

The tail of the crossbow arrow hollowed out, and it let out a sharp roar, and shot at the arrow tower at the top of the well.

Cao Jun on the well was paying full attention to the archers at the head of the city, suppressing them, when he suddenly heard a sharp sound, and in the blink of an eye, arrows the thickness of his fingers came quickly.

The sharp sound of breaking the sky made people's hearts palpitate, and before they could react, the arrow had already arrived in front of them, and a soft sound of snorting pierced through the body.

The armor on Cao Jun's body was useless, and with a terrible scream, it fell from the sky, and some of the arrows hit the wooden stake, shaking the arrow tower to tremble.

At this time, part of the Cao army in the front had climbed the ladder and began to climb the city, and the second wave of Cao army was only dozens of steps away from the city wall, and the car had already reached the city.

Seeing that Cao Jun on the well had lost his threat, Fu Wei raised the green flag and shouted, "Release!" ”

The soldiers who set up the repeater crossbows had already aimed at the position, and more than a dozen repeater crossbows were fired at the same time, the machine springs clicked and clicked, and the random arrows were like rain and mist, and even formed a shadow, covering all the Cao troops under the city.

Buzz –

In the muffled sound, the Cao army who rushed over instantly fell to the ground, and together with the soldiers who climbed the city, they were all emptied almost at the same time.

The heavens and the earth seemed to shake, the shouting and killing stopped abruptly, and even the soldiers beating the drums were stunned, and there was silence inside and outside the martial gate.

"This ......" Xu Huang's face changed drastically on the horse, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

The dense rain of arrows in the city just now was pouring down like a waterfall, and the soldiers covering in the front row were killed by arrows piercing their armor, which was unbelievable.

The third wave of Cao's army was still gathering momentum, and was also shocked by the scene in front of him, the previous siege of the city, and the rain of arrows to the city, but this time no one survived.

Xu Huang was stunned for a long time before taking a breath of cold air: "What is this?" ”

At this time, looking at the frame of each battlement, it seems that the fierce beast that chooses people to devour, the defenders finish loading their arrows and aim at the city again.

"General, look!" Xu Shang brought two arrows and handed them to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang took it and saw that the arrow was the thickness of an index finger, and the back part was a wooden pole, which was more than half shorter than an ordinary arrow, but the front end of the arrow was an inch long, and the rice word was open, which was very sharp.

"How can there be such a sharp weapon?" Xu Huang was surprised.

Such a powerful arrow was enough to break through the armor, so he wouldn't dare to rush to kill, let alone those ordinary soldiers wearing leather armor?

"General, we ...... Do you want to attack? ”

Lu Jian, who commanded the third wave of charge, walked over uneasily, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Xu Huang turned his head to see that the archers on the well had all been wiped out, the suppression of the high altitude had lost its power, and the defenders in the city were more able to resist the enemy calmly.

The role of the well is not only to suppress the defenders, but also to monitor the movements of the defenders, but the space on it is limited, and sending people up is also looking for death, and the commander is like missing an eye.

Xu Huang stared at the head of the city and was silent, while all the Cao Jun stared at Xu Huang, waiting for the moment to decide their fate.

After a long time, Xu Huang sighed secretly in his heart, waved his hand and said dejectedly: "Withdraw!" ”

When Cao Jun heard the general's order, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Jian and Xu Shang hurriedly beckoned and signaled the battalions to retreat.

Boom Boom –

Just when Cao Jun turned around and retreated, and the lineup was in chaos, the blood-stained iron gate of Wuguan slowly opened, like an ancient giant beast opening its bloody mouth.

A general rode out, holding a spear in his hand, and shouted: "Xu Huangxiu is leaving, Yanren Zhang Yide is here!" Wow-"
