Cao Hong was riding on a war horse, dressed in heavy armor, and a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.

He was armed with a heavy spear, and his white hair fluttered above his head, making him stand out.

"The front is a compliment, and before it has started to defend the city, take down this city first!"

Cao Hong's eyes were firm and his gaze was blazing, and he was not overwhelmed by the long journey and exhaustion in the slightest.

"Our army only has 6,000 people, but we need to divide mobile forces to prevent reinforcements from the Han army?"

Vice Admiral Cao Hong immediately stepped forward to ask.

Mobile forces?

How can 6,000 people be divided?

But as soon as he thought of the cunning of the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, Cao Hong still nodded and said, "I will divide a thousand people to be a reserve and act as a mobile force." ”

Not far away, the city of praise is already in sight.

Like a giant beast hibernating, it lies across the Runan Plain.

Got closer.

Praise the situation inside and outside the city, and see it more clearly.

The towering and magnificent city, with its towers and towers on top of the city walls, and its gates guarded by huge wooden nails and iron locks, made it a solid defense that would have to discourage any enemy.

There are many watchtowers four or five feet high inside and outside the city wall, which take turns to monitor the north and south of the world, and when the crossbowmen stand up, the watchtower immediately becomes an arrow tower.

The city is surrounded by potholes, the moat is wide and deep, and even a boat can be placed under the sparkling water.

It was Cao Hong, who couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw this city.

Fuck.

This is the city of praise, which was not like this when he came before.

This Han army is all civil and wood, and the twin spirit roots are not successful?

Born to build a city?

In just a few months, Praise has changed from a small city to a strong city today?

"General, are you still attacking?"

The lieutenant general looked at Cao Hong with an embarrassed face.

Attack or not?

Looking at the banner on the city of praise, the posture of the people in armor coming and going, it is difficult to capture at a glance.

Cao Hong has already retreated.

This raid does not seem to have deceived the Han army, nor did it deceive the prince Liu Gonghei of Hanzhong.

Just as he was about to give the order, Liu Chan's voice came from the head of the city.

"Your Excellency, but Cao Hong and Cao Zilian?"

Cao Honggang wanted to turn around, but at the moment he was squinting his eyes and looking at the city of praise.

I saw that above the city tower, under the huge Liu Zijing flag, there was a young man dressed in Xuanjia.

Needless to say, this person must be the heir of the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gong!

"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, it's your Grandpa Cao!"

Grandpa Cao?

Liu Chan sneered and said, "Are you going to leave when you come?" ”

"Come when you want, leave when you want."

"Then Your Excellency has to hurry up, take a step slower, I'm afraid that my life will be left here."

Want me to go?

Cao Hong was stunned.

Could it be said.

This crown prince of Hanzhong is a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre.

In this praise city, there are not many Han troops stationed?

He hesitated.

"General, the situation in the city is unknown, let's retreat quickly, the prince of Hanzhong is extremely cunning, and he cannot match it."

Withdraw?

After coming and retreating, wasn't he also scared away by the prince of Hanzhong.

Do you want Cao Hong's reputation?

But if you don't retreat, do you really want to attack this city?

"General, on the arrow tower, there are no crossbowmen yet, and the people who come and go on the city wall are soldiers and soldiers who carry the equipment to defend the city, this is the strategy of the prince of Hanzhong to confuse the enemy, I should attack the city quickly, and if we delay, there is really no chance!"

Flags were waving on the city, and the figures were flickering, and it looked heavily guarded, but some people saw the clues.

"What?"

Cao Hong raised his eyes and found that it was really the captain on his side who spoke ordinarily.

"This kid is really cunning, it turns out that he is here to deceive me."

He originally thought that the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghe, knew astronomy and geography, and had expected that he would come to praise him.

I didn't expect it to be pretended.

He himself went up to the city to speak, but only to confuse him.

How can I, Cao Hong, be scared away by you like a king?

"Siege, the first to ascend, a hundred gold! Capture and kill the heir of Liu Gong, the crown prince of Hanzhong, and make a marquis! ”

Cao Hong does not delay, he knows that time is life at this moment.

Perhaps, now is the only chance to take down Liu Chan and reverse the situation in Runan!

Knock knock~

The drums of war sounded.

The siege team of the Wei army gathered under the city.

They pushed huge siege equipment, trebuchets, ladders, and long ladders.

The faces of the soldiers on the siege vehicle were sweaty, and their eyes were firm and resolute, full of desire to capture the city.

If you break the city, you will be rich!

Splashing wealth!

The siege equipment roared in unison, huge stones fell from the city walls like thunder, and the Han soldiers were beaten in terror.

The Wei trebuchet began to fire, the boulder roared down, and the Han guards on the city wall immediately took refuge in all directions.

However, the Han army was not going to sit idly by, and the defenders of the city had already expected this.

Before the city wall, a deep pit had been dug in advance, and the Han archers on the arrow tower drew their bowstrings, and the arrows flew into the sky and plunged into the enemy's ranks.

The siege equipment of the Wei army was hit by arrows from the arrow towers, and some siege vehicles were ignited by rockets, and a cloud of fire and smoke filled the air.

The moat was also an effective line of defense for the Han army, and the bottomless moat made it impossible for the Wei army to easily approach the city walls.

Even the construction of pontoon bridges allowed part of the Wei army to pass through the moat.

The defenders on the city walls also dropped huge logs, which rolled down the steep walls and ran over the ranks of the Wei army who crossed the river, overwhelming the soldiers.

The hot gold juice was poured on the head of the soldier of Ren Wei, and by the way, it was burned like a red prawn.

At the head of the city, Liu Chan looked solemn, directing the movements of the soldiers while keeping an eye on the movements of the enemy.

Behind the Wei army, Cao Hong's face was pale, their siege plan did not go as expected, he thought that the Han army was not ready to defend the city, and there might not be many Han troops defending the city in the city.

However.

The siege lasted for an hour, and the strong defense of the Han army made it impossible for them to break through easily.

loss

It's getting bigger.

The siege battle entered a white-hot phase, with heavy losses on both sides, and the battlefield was filled with the smell of death and the sound of sorrow.

The Han army resisted valiantly within the fortified city, while the Wei army continued to advance with the stubborn determination to attack the city.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The roaring sound of the soldiers soared into the sky.

Siege equipment, arrows, rolling logs, and flames complement each other in the attack and defense of the castle, staining the moat red, and the scene of corpses strewn all over the field, as if it were hell.

When the battle between the two sides was in full swing, behind the Wei army, there was a sudden commotion.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Cao Hong's eyes were about to split, but he had to watch a Han army suddenly burst out behind him.

is still Cao Hong's acquaintance!

Bond!

Immediately, a thousand reserve mobile troops met them.

The knife in Pound's hand is engraved with traces of time, and his eyebrows exude sharp battle intent.

He was a burly and powerful man, and his iron armor fit tightly, like an impregnable wall.

The horses galloped, their steps sonorous and powerful, and each time they stepped on the ground, they involved the trembling of weapons.

"Cao Zilian, take your life!"

Pang De clenched the reins and stared at Cao Hong in front of him, as if an eagle was about to fly, his eyes were full of murder, and he unceremoniously drove the horses under him and galloped towards Cao Hong.

"Three family slaves, I'm ashamed to fight you!"

As he spoke, Cao Hong didn't look back, slapped the reins on the horse's buttocks fiercely, and withdrew in the direction of Da Lu Ting.

If you don't withdraw now, aren't you waiting for death?

Cao Hong's head was on the horse's neck, and his left hand hugged the horse's neck tightly.

But my heart was cold.

Ambush!

Ambush again!

This Han army is attacking cities and conquering cities all over Runan, where did so many soldiers come from around the prince of Hanzhong?

Strange and strange, strange and strange!

Could it be that he knows how to do immortal arts, and he can't do it when he scatters beans?

Liu Chan naturally doesn't know immortal arts, let alone sprinkling beans into soldiers.

But he knew what it meant to be done.

The battle to destroy Wei must not be urgent, and the battle of Runan cannot be delayed.

Therefore, he basically transferred most of the soldiers in Jingzhou, in order to take down Runan in the shortest possible time!

This is a shipbreaker.

He Liu Gonghe, he has a reason to win!
