Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

This wave of catapult long-range strikes did not achieve the best attack effect, and only about 20.00% of the stones directly hit the target.Even so, the scene was in a mess, the soldiers who were knocked down by direct hits were bloody and bloody, and the smashed vehicles and ladders were crooked.

Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied with such an attack effect. He thought the attack effect should be better.

At the same time, the soldiers of Cao Jun in the Chinese army were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them!They couldn't imagine how the Beibei Army threw those big rocks so far?In fact, it is normal to encounter stone attacks from the defenders during the siege, but they are all on the edge of the city wall. There has never been a case of being attacked by stones more than 100 meters away from the city wall!

"Feng Xiao, what's going on here?" Cao Cao frowned and asked Guo Jia beside him in shock. [

But Guo Jia is not a god, how can he guess what is going on out of thin air.However, Guo Jia is Guo Jia after all, and he still made some tests because of his profound knowledge. Some kind of machinery has been made that can throw stones a long way! Otherwise, manpower would not be able to do this!"

Cao Cao nodded. Although Guo Jia's explanation could not completely solve the doubts, it was the only reasonable explanation at present.

"My lord, the enemy's situation is unknown, should we call for money to withdraw our troops?" Le Jin, the general at the side, remonstrated.

Cao Cao frowned tightly, a stern look flashed in his eyes, then shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, we'll see the situation later." Cao Cao's intention was actually to use the lives of these ten thousand soldiers to test whether the North Army was successful or not. How many hole cards.

Le Jin, who is full of strategy, is not a brave husband like Xiahou Dun.After hearing Cao Cao's answer, Le Jin immediately thought of Cao Cao's plan.But Le Jin didn't say anything more, because although Cao Cao's decision was cruel, it was the same on the battlefield. The benevolence of a woman would not only fail to save people, but would kill more people on the battlefield.

This round of stone artillery attack caused a lot of damage to Cao Cao's army, but Cao Cao's army did not become confused because of it.The Qilin novel saw that the soldiers of the two battalions immediately regrouped and continued to march towards the city wall after a short period of shock.Perhaps it was because they had no experience in dealing with catapults, so after reorganizing their formation, they lined up more densely.

When Cao Cao's army advanced to a distance of 80 meters from the city wall, the second round of stone rain came again.

This time, because Cao Cao's army had been paying attention to the midair, they all saw the scene of the stone rain falling.When they didn't see it, the soldiers didn't feel anything, but now they watched the torrential rain made of stones bigger than the basin fall down, and everyone couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

Once people feel fear, there will be some natural reactions.Seeing the stone rain hitting, the two square formations that were originally neatly arranged suddenly became chaotic.

The stone rain fell down in an instant, stirring up a cloud of dust with a sudden and dull sound.

This round of stone cannon attack was much better than the previous round. Shi Yu basically covered one of Cao Jun's phalanxes.

After the dust dispersed, Cao Jun's soldiers were seen lying on the ground.The shapes of the dead were all kinds of strange and horrible. Some had their heads smashed off, some had their chests and abdomens smashed into a bloody mess, and some were smashed to pieces, with their internal organs scattered everywhere; the wounded were lying on the ground in agony. howling.The place swept by the stone is like a hell on earth, which makes people feel creepy.

This round of stone artillery attack caused great casualties to Cao Jun, and the effect was obviously much higher than just now.

However, Cao Jun did not lose his will to fight. They did not retreat and were still advancing, but this time they did not line up together again. After learning the lesson just now, Cao Jun rushed forward in the form of skirmishers carrying ladders and Cao city walls.

Zhang Fei, who was standing on the city gate tower, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.At this time, Cao Jun is more scattered, and the impact effect of the catapult will be greatly reduced.

Cao Cao's army roared and rushed forward. When they rushed to a distance of 40 meters, the third round of stone rain came again.

.Next, it was also dusty and rumbling, but the impact was far less effective than the previous two rounds.

At this time, a lieutenant standing beside Zhang Fei asked Zhang Fei: "General, can you order the ballista to attack?"

Zhang Fei frowned, thought for a while, and ordered: "The crossbow cart retreats, the crossbowmen step forward, the sword shield hand and the horizontal knife warrior prepare for melee combat!".The reason why Zhang Fei decided not to use the ballista for the time being is because the number of enemy troops besieging the city is currently small, and it is difficult to achieve a good attack effect by using the ballista, but it will also expose his own powerful weapons. [

"Yes!" The lieutenant general agreed, and then sent an order to go immediately.

As the order was passed down, the Northern Expedition Army on the city wall made corresponding adjustments.I saw that the ballista that was originally on the side of the wall was moved to the back, and then thousands of infantry armed with steel crossbows lined up on the side of the wall, and at the same time thousands of soldiers armed with saber shields and Han swords lined up. Behind the crossbowman.

Thousands of crossbowmen are divided into three rows, the first row shoots, the second row prepares, and the last row pulls the string to shoot the arrow, so as to achieve the best shooting effect.

In just a moment, the crossbowman was ready.

"Fire the arrows!", following the command of the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, and Dong Zhuo's army who was charging was immediately shot down by hundreds of people.Immediately, the first row of crossbowmen retreated, the second row of crossbowmen stepped forward, and the steel crossbows ready to be fired were aimed at Cao Cao's army who were still charging.Immediately, the arrow rain poured down again.

Repeatedly, the rain of arrows on the city wall poured down continuously, Cao Cao's army was like harvested wheat, and people kept falling to the ground with arrows.

However, Cao Cao's army did not let anyone slaughter them. The crossbowmen in Cao Cao's army also shot arrows at the city wall as soon as they entered the range to suppress the long-range firepower on the city wall.Under the counterattack of Cao Cao's army, the crossbowmen of the Zhengbei Army were shot down from time to time.However, due to the terrain of Cao Cao's army, the strike effect of the archers was negligible, and there was no way to compare with the strike effect of the archers of the Northern Army.

Cao Cao's army marched forward amidst constant casualties, and finally, after paying a considerable price, Cao Cao's army rushed under the city wall.However, Cao Cao's army had already lost all four city-charging vehicles, and now they could only attack Huguan through the remaining seven ladders.

Cao Cao's army tried their best to set up the ladders. In the process, two more ladders were smashed into several sections by the wood thrown from the city wall.

After the ladder was set up, Cao Caojun yelled suddenly, looking a little excited, and he didn't know why they were excited.

At this time, Cao Cao's army was already densely packed under the city wall. Apart from the crossbowmen who continued to shoot uninterruptedly, there were also soldiers throwing stones and wood down desperately.

Under the current circumstances, Cao Jun's soldiers could not escape at all. Under the heavy rain of rocks and trees, Cao Jun suffered extremely heavy losses.

But at this time Cao Jun was already red-eyed, and he didn't care about his own casualties.They roared and bit their weapons and climbed up, looking extremely sturdy.

The stones and logs on the city wall kept pouring down, and the violent blow quickly destroyed two ladders of Cao Jun. With two loud noises, the ladder broke into two sections, and Cao Jun's soldiers who were climbing suddenly broke into two pieces. It flew into the air like a kite with a short string.

However, the fierce attack of the Zhengbei Army did not stop Cao Jun from advancing. After a while, Cao Jun soldiers climbed the city wall from the other three ladders.

The archers and crossbowmen in these three places retreated immediately, and the sword and shield fighters and the horizontal sword warriors immediately went up to meet them.

With a flash of sword light, Cao Jun's soldiers who climbed the city wall were cut into several sections before they had time to be happy.

After fighting for a while, Cao Jun's soldiers lost a lot, but they couldn't rush up the city wall at all.If Cao Jun could rush up the guarded city wall of the Northern Zheng Army with just three ladders, then the Northern Zheng Army would not be called the Northern Army.

Guo Jia, who was by Cao Cao's side, suggested to Cao Cao at this time: "My lord, our goal has been achieved, and we can withdraw our troops with money! If we continue to fight, we will just sacrifice soldiers for nothing, and it is not worth it!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered the lieutenant around him to send an order to call Jin to withdraw the troops.

As the piercing golden bell sounded, Cao Cao, who was attacking the city,

Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then receded like the ebbing sea. [

The attacking Cao army retreated, and after a while, the entire Cao Cao army also retreated back to the camp.There were only corpses and a mess left on the battlefield.

In this siege battle, Cao Cao only sent 1 people to attack the city, the purpose is to test the defense of Huguan.Under normal circumstances, after this round of attacks, it is time for the formal army to attack the city.However, due to unexpected emergencies, Cao Cao temporarily decided to temporarily truce. ! ~!
