Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

After the hustle and bustle gradually subsided, Yuan Shao summoned all the generals to the commander's tent.Kylin novels

Yuan Shao glanced at the generals and counselors under the tent with a gloomy expression, and did not speak for a long while.Everyone couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Can any of you tell me what's going on?" Yuan Shao finally spoke.

The generals and counselors looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to answer. [

After a while, the judge suddenly went out to Yuan Shao and clasped his fists: "My lord, all the generals are not at fault. It is only because the lord ordered the whole army to rest that there is no army on duty, which will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that not long ago the judge had advised him not to take it lightly, but he didn't heed the advice.In the final analysis, Yuan Shao's own negligence caused the surprise attack by the Northern Army tonight.

Yuan Shao's face suddenly turned blue and red, and he seemed extremely annoyed.Immediately, he slapped the case suddenly, and shouted: "Assessment! You dare to salute the lord, if I don't punish you, how can you convince everyone! Come on!"

"My lord!" The four guards immediately entered the account and promised.

"Take down the judge of this elder and put it in the prison car!"

"Yes." The guard promised, Dang even stepped forward to grab the judge, and then dragged him outside.

"My lord, why have I ever been polite?" The examiner was astonished and struggled to argue.

Yuan Shao's face was red and his eyes were burning with fire, and he said angrily: "You put the blame on me for tonight, what is this not a courtesy?" Then he ignored the trial and commissioned, and ordered the guards to drag the trial and commission out.

"My lord... My lord...", the judge screamed unwillingly, the voice gradually faded away, and finally disappeared.

After the judge was dragged away, the big tent suddenly fell into a strange silence.All the generals bowed their heads and said nothing.Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, apparently still angry, and he didn't say a word.

After a while, a general came out to remonstrate: "My lord, although Mr. Zhengnan's words are inappropriate, he will not be thrown into the prison car. Now that the big battle is imminent, heavy punishment of the counselors may not be good for the morale of the army. I hope the lord thinks twice!"

Yuan Shao looked down and saw that it was Gao Lan, the general under his command.Gao Lan is a famous general in Hebei, with extraordinary spear skills. Under Yuan Shao's command, he is second only to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

When Yuan Shao saw someone interceding for the trial match, his face was immediately unhappy, and he said in a very dissatisfied tone: "The trial match is so polite! If I don't punish, how can I convince everyone? I have made up my mind, General Gao doesn't need to say any more!"

Gao Lan frowned, then retreated into the train.

That night, Yuan Shaojun was not able to rest. In the first half of the night, he was disturbed by the Northern Army, and in the second half of the night, everyone was worried and no one dared to sleep.By the next morning, Yuan Shaojun looked sluggish from top to bottom.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao decided to rest up the whole army for another night before marching.

This morning, in Huguan thousands of miles away, Cao Jun, who had not moved for many days, finally made a move.

After receiving the report from their subordinates, Zhang Fei and Tian Feng rushed to the top of the city gate immediately.

Looking out of the city, I saw that nearly 30 Cao troops had already lined up.Cao Jun at this moment is a little different from the previous Cao Jun. Thousands of new siege equipment are arranged at the forefront of Cao Jun. These siege equipment are exactly catapults! [

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fei and Tian Feng couldn't help being surprised.Before he had time to think about why Cao Jun had catapults, Tian Feng immediately suggested: "General, you must order the 'artillery' to attack immediately, and destroy Cao Jun's catapult troops before they are ready to stop!".At this moment, the forward line of Cao Jun's army is only less than 400 meters away from the city wall. The reason why it is so close to the city wall is because this distance is safe in this era.The longest attack distance of the North Army's catapults can reach nearly 500 meters. The reason why the maximum range was not used on the first day is actually to hide its strength.

Zhang Fei nodded, and then ordered the messengers to order the artillery to bombard Cao's catapult troops 400 meters away with all their strength.

After Cao Jun finished his formation, he began to attack.In the forefront is Cao Jun's catapult troops, followed by spearmen, protected by cavalry on both wings.Cao Jun's intention

The picture is very clear, that is, it is planned to use the catapult to bombard the Huguan guarded by the Northern Army.

Cao Cao was high above the BMW, looking a little excited.Liu Ye on the side was also very excited, after all, the sharp weapon he personally supervised was about to make meritorious service on the battlefield.

Cao Jun's catapult troops were advancing slowly, and their expressions were relatively relaxed at the moment, because they thought they were safe at this distance.However, this relaxed mood did not last long.

A moment later, when Cao Jun's catapult troops advanced to a distance of 350 meters, there was a scene that shocked all Cao Jun soldiers.I saw countless stones flying out of Huguan, flying towards Cao Jun like a meteor shower.

Cao Jun's catapult troops were stunned by this scene, and they stared at the "meteor shower" in a daze.

In everyone's shocked eyes, the 'meteor shower' fell.Immediately, people heard a dull and loud noise like a torrential rain, which was also mixed with the screams of people and the click of objects being smashed.In the rising dust and smoke, people can still vaguely see the people who were vigorously thrown into the air and the shattered parts of the catapult.

Cao Cao, who was in the middle army, was stunned, with frozen excitement still remaining on his face.Cao Cao looked very strange at this time.Liu Ye beside Cao Cao had a similar expression.

The catapult troops suffered such a violent blow at such a long distance, and suddenly became overwhelmed. Many soldiers left the catapult and ran back.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao reacted with cold eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "The catapult troops continue to charge! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Cao Cao's order was passed on immediately.Forced by Cao Cao's strict orders, Cao Jun's catapult troops had to bite the bullet and continue to advance, but this time their speed was much faster than before. Only when they entered a distance of 200 meters as soon as possible could Cao Jun's catapult troops be able to fight back.

Cao Jun failed to advance a few steps, and the 'artillery' of the North Army sent out another wave of 'meteor shower'.Immediately in the dust, Cao Jun's catapult troops were damaged a lot.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and his brows frowned even tighter.

At this time, Liu Ye who was standing beside Cao Cao suddenly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My lord, it's all down to me, please punish me, my lord!"

Cao Cao hurriedly dismounted from his horse, helped Liu Ye up and said warmly, "Zi Yang's words are serious! How could this matter be your fault? None of us thought that the catapults of the Northern Army would be so sharp!".In fact, Cao Cao was very unhappy in his heart, but unlike Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was best at hiding his true inner feelings.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Liu Ye couldn't help being moved.

Although Cao Jun's catapult troops were hit hard, they did not stop.Nearly [-] people braved waves of 'meteor showers' rushing forward in catapults.

Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and there were broken catapults and corpses strewn all over the way they advanced.

Cao Jun's catapult troops rushed regardless of casualties, and approached the city wall of Huguan at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Fei, who was standing on the city gate tower, was relieved to see this scene. Cao Jun's behavior showed that their catapult attack range was very limited. [

Cao Jun's catapult troops finally advanced within 200 meters after paying more than half of the casualties.At this time, there were more than [-] Cao Jun's remaining catapults.

Immediately Cao Jun shouted and got busy, braving the falling stones from time to time, desperately loading stones on the catapult.In the process, dozens of catapults were destroyed by the "meteor shower" launched by the Northern Army.

After a while, Cao Jun's catapult troops finally finished their preparations. Amid the officers' hoarse shouts, Cao Jun's catapult troops began to fight back.Immediately, a puff of smoke rose from the outside of the city wall of Huguan, and at the same time there was a loud noise.

Seeing this scene, Cao Jun, who was in the rear, couldn't help shouting excitedly.

In fact, the attack effect of this round of Cao Jun's catapult troops was not ideal. Most of the stones were just smashed on the bricks outside the city wall, and only a few fell on the city wall. Even the stones that fell on the city wall were not confiscated. How much damage did the northern army cause, because the soldiers on the wall had already advanced

The Tibetan soldier cave on the city wall.

The Cangbing Cave is a solid fortification made of large bluestones, which can defend against all long-range attacks of this era, including the attack of catapults.

At the same time that Cao Jun's catapult troops launched an attack, Cao Cao ordered the army to attack the city in an all-round way.Immediately, a total of 5000 people from the five battalions broke out of the formation, and began to attack with the city rush car carrying the ladder. ! ~!
