"Siege engines?" Cao Mengde looked at the drawings brought by Cheng Yu, a little incredible, isn't this thing just a tower whistle with wheels?

"Yes, this is the siege vehicle I designed, and there is also an enhanced version of the ladder, rushing the car!" Cheng Yu said with a smile, as an outer disciple of the Mo family, Cheng Yu is also more or less good at some tricks!

"Good stuff! With these, we can reduce casualties, Runan is not as good as Shouchun, it was broken during the Yellow Turban Army, and now it has only been repaired slightly, and there are not so many defensive measures! Presumably, the end of Zhang Xun is coming! Cao Cao laughed, and then ordered the construction of engineering equipment on a large scale!

Now Cao Mengde's confidence is high, there are Cheng Yu under his hands, Wu has Xiahou Diandian, Wei Xu Chu Cao Hong, plus Chengfeng to help, this little Zhang Xun, Cao Cao really didn't look at it, although he didn't take Runan in one go, Cao Cao was more worried about Chengfeng's attitude, after all, the division of territory is always a problem that will not satisfy both parties!

"The prime minister is worried about Xiaoyaohou?" Xi Zhicai said with a smile

"Yes, Chengfeng is called the emperor, as for what he thinks in his heart, I'm afraid no one will know, this person will always give me a feeling that I can't see through, I'm afraid there are still many twists and turns in this Runan!" Cao Cao sighed

"The prime minister is too worried, Runan will be for us, geographically, Runan is the southeast gate of Xuchang, it is impossible to give it up, and Chengfeng has been attacking the city in Hebei, and it is clear that he wants to take the four northern continents, so he will not easily offend us for a Runan County! In addition, we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Chengfeng only has more than 10,000 people, he will never conflict with us, Runan is located in the mountains, it is a trapped city, Chengfeng this person will not put himself in danger! Xi Zhicai said

"In that case, let's attack the city with all our might!" Cao Cao threw the big pen in his hand, and leaked domineeringly

"Lord, will Yan Liang raid our supply line?" In the Chengfeng camp, Wu Tiangang said

"No, but Yan Liang's actions should be what Yuan Shao meant, I'm afraid he will be a danger to my rear, after all, the spring rice in Liaodong will be harvested soon, and Zhang He and Xu Shu will be ordered to go to Liaodong immediately, if Yuan Shao dares to show his head, he will be disabled directly for me, and the grain and grass can be lost, but Yuan Jun must die!" Cheng Feng thought for a while and said, although Yan Liang's retreat looked like a gamble, but without Yuan Shao's order, Yan Liang would not have done this!

"No!"

The words are divided into two ends, Zhang Xun in Runan City is also having a hard time, Cao Cheng's coalition army surrounded Runan for half a circle, and only left the road to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was guarded by Wenpin, which made Zhang Xun restless!

"Two generals, now that the enemy army is strong, is there a good solution?" Zhang Xun asked Chen Lan and Lei Bo

"There is no good way, one is to defend to the death, the other is to send troops to cut off the grain route, Cao's army is estimated to have 150,000, the daily demand must be very large, as long as we can cut off his grain route, the army will soon withdraw!" Lei Bo said

"Cao Thief's favorite way to attack is to cut off other people's grain routes, and he will definitely defend it strictly, General Ji Ling has just burned the grain and grass of Lu Bu and others, I am afraid it will be very difficult for us to act again, and we will fall for the tricks of Cheng Feng and others!" Chen Lan said with a frown

"Then defend the city first, wait for the opportunity to move, I'm afraid that in two days, the Cao army will attack the city, and the generals will have to guard the city in the next few days!" Zhang Xun said, he was not sure at all in his heart, the shadow of the famous tree, what kind of person is Chengfeng, he has not been defeated since he was born, and in the face of these top soldier kings, who will be under great pressure!

"It's the general!" Chen Lan and Lei Bo glanced at each other, and they were both bitter in their mouths!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The quiet dawn was broken by the sound of a drum, "Kill! Kill! Kill! "A shout of killing directly drove away people's sleepiness!

"What's going on?"

"Cao's army is attacking the city!" Chen Lan was a little trembling, she didn't expect it to come so quickly!

"Ascend to the city, fight!" Zhang Xun said calmly, people are like this, when things haven't happened yet, they always think a lot, and when they really face it, they are often very calm!

"Attack!" Cao Cao gave an order, Lejin Li Dian, Li Tongxia, Hou Dun, Cao Hong each led their headquarters to start rushing up to kill, Chengfeng's cavalry walked back and forth under the city, taking the opportunity to shoot the soldiers defending the city, and the Cao army in groups with siege tools moved slowly and firmly to the city!

"Shoot the arrows! Lapidation! Prepare fire oil and don't show your head! "A voice quickly came to mind in the city, as the saying goes, you come and go, each competing for scenery!

"Kill!" Le Jin is short and concise, brave and diligent, and will always be the first to ascend, Cao Jun arrived under the city wall naturally after paying the price of a corpse!

"Up! Rush up, and whoever climbs to the top of the city first will be rewarded! Le Jin shouted,

"Shoot the arrows! Quick, shoot me! Chen Lan said eagerly

Cao Jun bee chrysalis, and then like dumplings, fell down with a bang, the name is like a mustard, it is really a succession to die, after attacking for half an hour, no one has been able to climb the city wall, and Yuan Jun after a short panic, he is also completely calmed down, and began to kill the opponent in an orderly manner!

"Haha, have you seen it, Cao Jun is also a human being, he will also bleed and die, kill me fiercely!" Zhang Xun laughed

"Go up the ladder, siege engine!" Cao Cao saw the dead and wounded soldiers, his heart was dripping blood, this is his own family, the recruits who have just been trained, they don't have much combat experience, this is pulled over and attacked the city directly, it is really a little cruel and ruthless!

With the addition of tools, the casualties of the Cao army have been reduced to a certain extent, but there is no good way to siege the city, the army is gathered under the city, and it is soaked in urine, which can be soaked in a large area, throw a stone, and there will be more people who will blow! Dian Wei was personally hitting the city gate, and the sound of the thunder attack spread dozens of meters, which could suppress the shouting and killing of the battlefield!

"It's worthy of the evil of the ancients!" Chengfeng is also sincerely praised,

"Master Hou praised it falsely!" Cao Cao smiled, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was complacent, so that Cheng Feng almost slapped him in the face!

"The siege losses are too great, I don't know what good way Master Hou has?" Cao Cao asked

"I'm not familiar with the terrain, not for the time being, the mountains are mostly mountainous, the army can't attack, this team's attack has become a refueling tactic, but fortunately, the quality of the Yuan army soldiers is not strong, I'm afraid I can't adapt to the high-intensity battle, the prime minister can make the army feint and use tired enemy tactics!" Cheng Feng Dao

"Oh! Not bad! Beat the drums! I'm going to beat the drums myself! Boss Cao didn't know what he thought, and his eyes lit up and said

With a firm and loud drum beat, when Cao Jun saw the people beating the drums clearly, the morale was even higher!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "A wave of noise will overturn the city, and make the people on the city panic!

The war was tragic, the siege lasted for two hours, both sides dropped nearly 10,000 corpses, and the high-intensity battle was also the fastest way to consume physical morale.

"Listen to my orders, the cavalry will attack, and shoot Yuan Jun with all your might!" Cheng Feng couldn't help watching Cao Jun being driven down the city again!

"Kill!" Cheng Feng personally set out, holding a giant bow, which was directly an arrow to describe the archer at the head of the city, and then saw that one person at the head of the city was shot, and the advantage of attacking the hard crossbow was undoubtedly displayed!

With the addition of Cheng Feng, the head of Runan City was emptied in an instant, but Yuan Jun also played bloody, and someone immediately came to take over the post, holding on to the shield.

"Defend with all your might, don't worry about supplies, kill me hard!" Zhang Xun waved the sword in his hand and shouted wildly!

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, for siege, if there is no help of water and fire, relying on manpower alone, it is a tug-of-war, gambling with life, to see which side can't hold on first, then he is the loser!

The two sides fought for three days, and I don't know how many people were killed and wounded, the Yuan army in the city finally had no strength to shout, more of a silent fight, and Cao Jun didn't know how much he fell, the entire city wall was bright red blood, the corpses on the ground were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, Cao Cao's face was pale, and the siege vehicle was thrown aside, Le Jin gasped for breath, maybe only in this way could he feel that he was still alive, as for Cao Hong's two arrows, he had already gone to the rear to recuperate!

"Prime Minister, you can't fight like this anymore!" Xiahoudun said to Cao Cao, these are all soldiers he trained, although it is understandable to die on the battlefield, but when it is really faced with all this, there are still a lot of uneasy feelings!

"Then do you have a good way to break through Runan?" Cao Cao's face turned black, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared at Xiahou Xuan

"Nope!" Xiahou Yuanrang's face was decadent, if there really was, how could he be willing to let the soldiers take their lives to fill it!

"Then shut up Lao Tzu, go, and command the siege!" Cao Cao said angrily, after fighting for so many days and dying so many people, Cao Mengde is now difficult to ride a tiger, Runan is too important to him, this is the gate of Xuchang to the south, as long as Runan is in hand, Cao Cao can go directly to Shouchun and Lucheng, the hinterland of Yuanshu, to achieve a real sense of attack, retreat and defense!

"Yes! Prime minister! Xiahoudun smiled bitterly and said, Kill the red eye, since this is the case, let's start the slaughter!

"The whole army obeyed the order, went into the city, and allowed you to loot for three days! Kill me! Xiahoudun himself beat the drum and shouted loudly,

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Cao Jun was like being beaten with chicken blood in an instant, murderous, full of interest, the tiredness disappeared in an instant, and he rushed up, making Yuan Jun at the head of the city tremble!

"General! Can we hold on? Chen Lan endured fear and said,

"Didn't you hear that Cao Jun was going to slaughter the city? If you can't keep it, cut yourself! Zhang Xun smiled bitterly,

"Hehe, Your Majesty may have forgotten about us!" Chen Lan laughed at herself,

"Your Majesty is surrounded in Shouchun, once we lose here, the general trend will go!" Lei Bo said helplessly,

"Now only the Cao army is attacking on a large scale, and Chengfeng's people have not all participated in the battle, if Chengfeng suddenly kills him, it is really difficult to defend!" Zhang Xun frowned and said, because he saw with his own eyes how good the armor of the Chengfeng Army was, and he shot an arrow at it, leaving only a white spot, as for the person under the armor, he didn't even look at himself, and continued to rush over!

"Didn't you hear that Cheng Feng brought Guo Jia here? Why hasn't there been any movement for so many days? It can't be the shady man behind the scenes, right? After all, Chengfeng is a lot of intrigues! Lei Bo seemed to think of something

"Don't worry about it so much, we will guard the city wall, and if we don't go out of the city to fight, the cavalry of Chengfeng will not be able to play a role! There is also to quietly prepare the back road, once you really can't hold it, then withdraw, bring the people back, now is to delay as much time as possible and give Your Majesty a chance to breathe! Zhang Xun said

"Yes, General!"

"Master Hou, please also help me take Runan!" Cao Cao faced Cheng Fengdao, now he regrets it a little, why didn't he bring a few more strategists over, although this Cheng Yu is smart, it is useless to think of many methods, digging tunnels and attacking water, not only did he not succeed in injuring many people, but also made the morale of the army low, otherwise he would not have made the decision to rob Runan to improve morale!

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, now that the army is besieging Runan with all its might, and threatening to slaughter the city, the Yuan army is bound to fight to the death and not retreat, the prime minister might as well let go of a city wall and give him a glimmer of life, presumably the Yuan army will focus on escaping!" Cheng Feng said with a smile

"Wonderful!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, as for the art of war, Chengfeng is not as good as Cao Mengde, this has a direction, how to fight does not need to be commanded by others!

"Order, the army stormed, leaving the east gate for Yuan Jun to escape, and let the soldiers shout that those who surrender will not die, and those who sacrifice the city gate will be rewarded, and when the city is broken, it will be the time to slaughter the city!" Cao Cao said

"Not good! Cao's army has attacked! Zhang Xun had just taken a sip of wine, and before he could rest, he saw a lot of people in the city, and couldn't help but sigh

"General! No one attacked at the east gate! Just when Zhang Xun was about to go to the city, Chen Lan suddenly came to report

"Huh? What's going on? Don't worry about it for now, and beat Cao Jun back first! ”

"But there are not many supplies to defend the city!"

"Demolition of houses!"

"Yes!"

The two armies fought in Runan City for three days, unconsciously Zhang Xun had held on for more than a month, although the Cao army attacked the city wall several times, but all returned in vain, although Runan was dilapidated, but still in Zhang Xun's hands, as the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, Cao Jun attacked many times without results, and finally had no choice to rest!

"Prime Minister can't be careless, now that the morale of Yuan's army is high, I'm afraid he will go out of the city to intercept grain!" Cheng Yu said

"Hmmm! Not bad! I didn't expect this Zhang Xun to be a talent, but he just can't come out of the city! By the way, what about the Marquis of Xiaoyao? Cao Cao had a headache and said, this Chengfeng brought 10,000 horses, most of them were cavalry, which was not conducive to the siege, and now I don't know where to go!

"Chengfeng went to transport grain and grass, and in addition, he cut off the road to the north and south of Ru, so that Zhang Xun could only defend or withdraw to Shouchun!" Xiahou said

"How's Shouchun doing over there?"

"Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to burn the grain and grass of the coalition army, and then attacked Liu Bei's camp, Liu Bei Lu Bu retreated thirty miles, and could only besiege and not attack, Yuan Shuxie's great victory, rewarded the three armies, the big draft girl, and built a palace on a large scale, which made the people complain!"

"Hehe, it seems that this Yuan Shu is coming to an end, why don't you see anyone to support Runan?" Xiahou said

"Liu Bei and Lu Buwei are too big to lose, Yuan Shu only dares to protect himself, and even Lucheng Hefei has not sent anyone, as for Runan, it is even more careless!" Cheng Yu said with a smile

"A lonely city and ten thousand mountains!" Cao Cao was happy, "Then add fire to Zhang Xun again, tell them the news of Shouchun, and see how they still defend the city!" ”

"This Zhang Xun is a diehard loyalist of Yuan Shu, I'm afraid the effect won't be too good!" Yu Ban said with some pity, because he felt that although this strategy was very good, the success rate was very low.

"Runan is not just one Zhang Xun!" Cheng Yu said with a smile

"My lord! I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed, I heard that Cao Cao is very lively in Runan! When Guo Jia saw Chengfeng, it was directly Guo's opening remarks,

"Okay, you're Guo Fengxiao, you're finally here!"

Cheng Feng saw Guo Jia, it was really overjoyed, as soon as he came out of Changshan, Guo Jia said hello to himself, and then ran away, and only now did he appear, if he followed along the way, I am afraid he will not be so tired!

"What are you doing here?" Cheng Feng said with a smile

"Went to the beggars!" Guo Jia said with a smile

"Oh? How's the catch? ”

"Shouchun City is now full of complaints, and other places are the same, only Runan is inextricably beaten, and has cut off contact with the outside world, but Runan can't hold on for long, Zhang Xun has demolished all the houses that can be demolished, and there will be no materials to defend the city if it continues to fight, and the city will be broken just around the corner!" Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said slowly

"Yes, it is indeed very difficult to be alone in a lonely city, and to be able to fight with Cao Mengde for more than a month!" Cheng Feng also said sincerely, although Runan occupies a geographical advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this opponent is Cao Mengde, the traitorous male Cao Cao!

"Now Lujiang Shouchun can be defended, it will take time for Yuan Shu to be defeated, and the lord can give up these important cities, only Hefei can not be released!" Guo Jiadao

"Why?" Cheng Feng didn't understand what was the benefit of taking a lonely city by himself, it was located in the center, far away from Hebei, no matter how you looked at it, it was not cost-effective!

"If Sun Jian takes Lujiang, we can form an alliance with them to ensure the stability of Hefei, if we can't take Hefei, then Cao Cao will take Lujiang and strangle Sun Jian south of the Yangtze River!" And Hefei can take Jiangdong to the east, go north to seize the hinterland of Cao Cao and Yuanshu, and go west to attack Jingzhou, the only deficiency is that there are few people in the city now, but this is also what we need most, after all, there are more people and we can't beat it! Guo Jia finished talking about his investigation results and analysis in one breath!

"Good! Take Hefei, break Yuan Shu's dream, and give him a blow from the inside! "Cheng Feng has never been an indecisive person, and he has set a goal with a direct wave of his hand!
