"Mr. Tian Feng, when do you think Cao Jun will attack?" Zhang Fei asked, looking at Cao Jun's barracks in the distance.no ads

Tian Feng thought for a while and replied: "Cao Jun's morale has been frustrated, I'm afraid it will take some time to rest. Otherwise, Cao Jun will be in vain and suffer heavy losses if he attacks Xiongguan with a demoralized army!"

Tian Feng's prediction was correct, but his resourcefulness was still slightly inferior to Guo Jia's.

Zhang Fei nodded, thinking that what Tian Feng said was right. [

However, early the next morning, Cao Cao's army took action.

Upon learning of this situation, Tian Feng couldn't help being surprised.He didn't understand why Cao Cao was so eager to attack the city. Under the current situation, it would be very unfavorable for Cao Cao to rush to attack the city!

Tian Feng ran up the city wall without thinking about breakfast.At this time, Zhang Fei was already standing on the top of the city gate with the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand.

Tian Feng came to the wall and looked out of the city.I saw that the camps opened their mouths like monsters, and groups of soldiers came out of the camps like a torrent of gates.

The flow of soldiers flowing out of the camp gathered into a strict square formation, and then entered the pot.

Cao Jun lined up only [-] steps away from the city wall of Huguan. Looking down from the tower, he could see the banners billowing like clouds, and the cold light shone like snow.

Seeing this scene, Tian Feng couldn't help frowning.The enemy is huge, and the outcome of this battle is unpredictable!

"General, are you ready to defend?" Tian Feng turned around and asked Zhang Fei, who had a normal face.

Zhang Fei glanced at Tian Feng and replied, "Don't worry about that, our army has never let up!"

"How does the general plan to defend?" Tian Feng asked again.

Zhang Fei pointed to the catapult soldiers who were busy in an open space inside the city wall and replied: "Brother gave us so many catapults, and they are not for display! As long as Cao Jun launches an attack, I will let them have a good taste." Taste! I will tell them to lose half of the city wall before they reach it!"

Tian Feng nodded without raising any objections.Tian Feng thought for a while and suggested: "You can put all the catapults on the city wall. When Cao's army attacks, they will kill Cao's army in large numbers together with the catapults!"

Zhang Fei had originally planned this, but now that he heard Tian Feng say the same, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay! I'll send the order immediately!", and then ordered a lieutenant beside him to handle the matter.no ads

After the deputy general left, Zhang Fei smiled at Tian Feng: "I thought that only my old Zhang likes to play big games, but I didn't expect Mr. Tian Feng that you also have this hobby!"

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Tian Feng suddenly showed a dumbfounding expression.

On this issue, although both Zhang Fei and Tian Feng decided to bring out all the heavy equipment, their ideas were completely different.Zhang Fei wanted to take out all the good things that Chen Chu gave him, which was entirely out of the idea of ​​​​killing chickens with a sledgehammer; and the reason why Tian Feng also made such a decision was after careful consideration. A head-on attack will definitely hit Cao Jun's spirit and make Cao Cao suspicious, which will help his future defense.

Although Tian Feng's thoughts were different from Zhang Fei's, Tian Feng didn't say anything else, after all, now is not the time to gossip.

Cao Cao's army outside the city began preparations in the early hours of the morning. After an hour and a half, nearly 30 troops lined up in a vast open space outside Huguan.

There seemed to be no end to the 30 army, which made people feel fearful. [

The attack formation deployed by Cao Cao's army is a traditional attack formation. The entire army formation is divided into infantry phalanx and two-winged cavalry.The infantry formation is composed of dozens of phalanxes of comparable size, which are divided into two parts, the front and the back.The phalanx in the front is the siege phalanx, and the front of each phalanx is the sword and shield soldiers, followed by the assault soldiers carrying ladders or charging vehicles; while the phalanx in the back is generally Not participating in the siege, their task is to suppress the formation. This kind of suppressing force is generally called the Chinese army, and the general in charge of command is usually in the Chinese army.In addition to these infantry phalanxes, there are nearly [-] cavalry on the two wings of the infantry phalanx. Their task is to deal with possible enemy raids and protect the safety of the entire army's two wings.

Cao Cao

Riding on top of his beloved BMW, standing under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, surrounded by Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Xiahouyuan and other generals.

Seeing the momentum of his hundreds of thousands of troops like a rainbow, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling very proud.He raised his whip and laughed loudly and said, "How difficult is it for my army of 30 tigers and wolves to attack Wanhuguan?"

The generals around him couldn't help showing arrogance when they heard this.

At this moment, Cao Cao saw figures of people on the city wall of Huguan, and there were many square and big box-like things being put on the city wall.Cao Cao couldn't help feeling strange.

"Feng Xiao, what is that square box?" Cao Cao pointed at the city wall and turned to ask Guo Jia.

Guo Jia didn't answer Cao Cao right away, but looked at Cao Cao carefully for a long time before saying with shame on his face: "Reporting to my lord, I'm really ashamed! I don't know this thing!"

Cao Cao couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't expect that even Guo Jia, who was well-informed and knowledgeable, didn't know the object.

What exactly is that?What is the purpose of the Northern Army to put this object on the city wall?Cao Cao couldn't help thinking in his heart.

At this moment, a general came to report: "My lord, our army is ready. Do you want to attack the city immediately?"

Cao Cao put aside the doubts in his heart, and ordered to the general: "Send the army to attack the city immediately!"

"Yes!" The general promised loudly, and then retreated.

After a while, hundreds of war drums located in Cao Jun's middle army suddenly beat together.All of a sudden, it rumbled in mid-air like thunder before a storm.

With the sound of war drums, hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun soldiers shouted loudly as if they had been injected with a dose of stimulant, like a thunderclap.

Tian Feng, who was standing on the tower at this time, couldn't help but be surprised.Cao Jun's performance just now clearly showed that their morale was high. What Tian Feng didn't understand was how Cao Jun could recover their morale so quickly.

After all, Tian Feng is just Tian Feng, and compared with Guo Jia in terms of resourcefulness, there is still a certain gap.

Cao Cao's army began to move amidst the sound of war drums.I saw two attacking phalanxes break away from the main formation and slowly press towards Huguan in a neat formation.

The strength of a phalanx is 5000 people, that is, a battalion, and the two phalanxes attack together, so the number of troops invested by Cao Cao's army in the first wave of attack is 1.

This first wave of attacks was largely tentative in nature.

Ten thousand attacking troops approached Huguan slowly, 300 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters.At a distance of 150 meters, the soldiers of the two phalanxes made an action at the same time.I saw that the sword and shield soldiers at the front raised their shields at the same time, and the soldiers behind them carrying ladders and rushing cars were also protected by other sword and shield soldiers with shields.Cao Cao's army is well-trained, and their move is to defend against the arrows shot down from the city wall.But what greeted them was not the expected arrows, but...

Because Cao Cao's army had to use shields to protect the top of their heads, the formation of the two phalanxes was intentionally or unintentionally arranged even tighter. [

Zhang Fei, who was standing on the top of the city gate, saw this scene, couldn't help opening his mouth, and said with a smile: "What a good target! I didn't even have such a good target for me to hit during training!"

Then he turned his head and gave an order to the messengers around him: "Order the artillery, let them hit me hard at these two targets!" The artillery Zhang Fei mentioned refers to the catapult troops, and Chen Chu sent the catapult troops alone compiled together and named it Artillery.Of course, Chen Chu's name was completely influenced by later generations.

The messenger got the order, so he immediately issued an attack order to the artillery in the city with the command flag.

At the same time, the observers who were in charge of shooting Zhuyuan for the catapult troops to indicate the target azimuth, etc. had already conveyed the target Zhuyuan to the catapult troops through semaphore.

"Azimuth xxx, distance xxx,..." After a while of busyness, five hundred catapults were ready to go.

"Launch!!", as the officer yelled, stones larger than a washbasin flew into the air one by one.That sight is really shocking!

It was the first time Tian Feng, who was standing on the city gate tower, saw such a scene, and suddenly felt dizzy for a while.also difficult

Blame him for feeling this way, not to mention him, even a fierce general like Zhang Fei was shocked when he saw such a scene for the first time.

The huge boulder flew into the air, and the next moment it slammed into the two Cao army phalanxes that were slowly advancing with their shields on their backs.

Hundreds of large rocks poured down like a shower, raising a cloud of dust immediately.In the dust, many Cao soldiers were knocked to the ground, their shields were shattered, and blood splashed everywhere.Immediately there was a wailing sound, which was the wounded soldiers expressing their pain. ! ~!
