"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers shouted again.

"Okay!" Cao Cao praised, then looked at the generals, and said loudly: "All the generals obey!"

"The end is here!" Many generals clasped their hands together.

"Send troops immediately and destroy those trebuchets. If the task is not completed, then the battle will not retreat!" Cao Cao shouted loudly.

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" Not only those generals, but even ordinary soldiers were infected by this decisive will, and they were all in high spirits, stepping out of the barracks like a torrent.

Liu Rui, on the other side, had already received news from Cao Cao's camp that his army had been divided into three groups to take turns to rest in the past few days.

What's more, there are many organs set up on those trebuchets, just waiting for Cao Cao's army to come.

Gathering all the soldiers under his command, Liu Rui looked around and said, "In this battle, our goal is to eliminate the maximum number of enemies. Those trebuchets don't have to be guarded, but we can't let the opponent easily succeed!"

All the generals made a loud promise.

Liu Rui looked at Ma Teng beside him again, and said with a smile, "Brother Shoucheng, when you are going to chase later, your troops will be dispatched!"

Ma Teng nodded, but said with some doubts: "Why do you have to wait until the time of pursuit before letting me go up?" This is not to question Liu Rui's order, but to know the purpose of doing so.

Guo Jia on the side said with a smile: "General Ma, you have heard Cao Mengde's inspiring ability just now. The morale of Cao's army can be said to be booming at the moment, we don't have much advantage in fighting them, but if we wait for them to destroy After those trebuchets, the morale probably won't be as strong as it is now!"

Ma Teng said with a smile: "Fengxiao's brain... ah, I don't want to be your enemy in this life!"

After a few people finished talking and laughing, the generals from all walks of life left one after another and arranged for the army to prepare to meet the enemy.

In a short time, Cao Cao's army was killed like a torrent.

At the beginning, the Cao army tried to break through the city wall, but although these city walls were built in a hurry, they adopted new methods and techniques, and the end was unbreakable. To those trebuchets.

Cao Ren was in the army, looking at the towering trebuchets, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's fortunate that I told the lord in time, otherwise we might have suffered from it until tonight."

Liu Rui's army fought hard to resist, but with so many trebuchets here, it was difficult to spread out, but after a few difficult fights, they retreated.

When Cao Jun attacked and killed the trebuchets, he was a little dumbfounded.

The two-foot-thick giant trees were deeply buried in the soil, and these giant trees were also built together to form a triangle, which was extremely stable. , , .

360: Gunzhou Reinforcement

The horn-shaped giant trees are fastened to each other by sticky stickers, not to mention being cut and pushed down. Even if there is a big earthquake now, these giant trees may not collapse.

Cao Ren stared at the hundreds of trebuchets in astonishment. He only felt that the head was so big at the moment, so many, and it was so difficult to push down. When would he get it?

In a daze, I suddenly heard countless shouts of killing. Looking around, Liu Rui's army had already dispatched and attacked from the flank of Cao's army...

"Quick! No matter the cost, knock down these things for me right away!" Cao Ren hurriedly ordered, put his horse back into the army, and directed the army to defend the flank.

It was also at this time that countless archers suddenly appeared on the high city wall, shooting deadly arrow feathers.Those soldiers who were still struggling to destroy the trebuchet fell to the ground and died...

Not only that, there are countless traps next to those trebuchets, some of which are only one-inch holes, covered with thin wooden boards and spread with soil. If one accidentally enters, the entire calf will be stabbed by the horse spikes inside. smashed to pieces...

There are also those giant trees. I don’t know how Liu Rui’s craftsmen made them. There is a lot of lime powder hidden inside. Cao Cao’s soldiers shook the giant trees, and countless lime powder sprinkled down, and the eyes of those soldiers could not be opened. ...

Countless mechanisms, coupled with the archers on the city wall, turned the trebuchets into death Jedi.

But Cao Ren had no way out. Cao Cao had just said that as long as there was any trebuchet, he could only fight to the death.

It was not until later that someone suddenly proposed to use fire attack, which barely worked.

Seeing that the catapults were ignited by the fire, Cao Rencai led the army to retreat slowly.

Only at this time, Cao Jun had suffered heavy casualties, and he no longer had the same morale as when he had just set off.

Ma Teng's Xiliang iron cavalry, and Liu Rui's tiger and leopard cavalry bloody battalion and other elite troops launched a fatal blow at this time. If Cao Ren was not good at defense, I am afraid that Cao's retreat would turn into a rout.

Leaving the corpses all over the ground, Cao Rencai led the army back to the camp.

"My lord, it is not good for me to lead the troops at the end, and I also ask the lord to convict." Cao Ren returned to the central army tent, and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

Cao Cao on the side sighed, his hand holding the battle report was still trembling, but he stood up with all his strength, helped Cao Ren, and said earnestly: "This battle, if it is anyone else, there will be no good results. . It's not your fault, but you have to remember this battle."

Cao Ren lowered his head and said bitterly, "It's all my fault that my subordinates didn't think of attacking with fire sooner, otherwise there wouldn't be so many casualties."

Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "Zixiao, I know you are sincere. But now you don't have to be sad. Although our loss in this battle is not small, it also frustrated Liu Rui's scheming. What's more, our The reinforcements have arrived."

Cao Ren raised his head and said in surprise: "My lord, how many troops have we transferred? Why don't we cooperate with the reinforcements and fight well?" Xiaoshuowa.com

However, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The people who are mobilized now are all veterans who have been replaced from various places. There are only [-] horses, but the victory is rich in experience.

Cao Ren nodded, now that Cao Jun's troops are already lower than Liu Rui's in numbers, if Liu Rui came to attack regardless of losses, I'm afraid these troops would not be able to resist.Moreover, the morale of the Cao army is low now. If the reinforcements are large, it will be tantamount to a shot in the arm for the entire army.

Although the number of [-] horses is not too many, when the time comes to join the army in Cao's camp, at least they can continue to suppress the number of Liu Rui.

Xi Zhicai also smiled and said: "I just received the news that the reinforcements mobilized by Gunzhou should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Cao Ren, our army is newly defeated today, then Liu Rui will definitely be here tonight, you go to set up defense. Liu Rui should not know the news of the reinforcements, as long as we wait until tomorrow afternoon, we will never again. There is no need to be afraid of Liu Rui." After a pause, Cao Cao said again, "Send a messenger to let the reinforcements rush through the night and try to reach the camp tomorrow morning."

Cao Ren handed over the orders and turned around to go out to make arrangements.

At night, Liu Rui led the army to besiege Cao Ying again.It was just as usual, and there was not much entanglement. Both sides trembled for two or three hours before Liu Rui led the army to leave.

It's just that Liu Rui's front foot just left, and Cao Cao's back foot received news of reinforcements.

The [-] reinforcements accidentally encountered Zhao Yun's [-] horses on the way, and they pursued them all the way, trying to surround Zhao Yun.

However, what the reinforcement commander never expected was that in the process of chasing, a group of light cavalry suddenly appeared behind him, clinging to the back of the reinforcements, constantly harvesting with bows and arrows...
