Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 585 A Tragic Attack

The distance between the first line of defense and the second line of defense was only a hundred meters, but the condescending angle made Cao Jun's feather arrows never stop.

buzz~
Feathered arrows fell from the sky all over the sky, and the Hebei soldiers on the city wall let out screams.

Then the soldiers poured into Hebei from the rear and brought huge shields, and the city gate was opened and burned with fire oil.

On the flat land, the cavalry roamed freely, and Cao Cao was discouraged by the aura of the smoke and dust. This Lu Bu really didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle.

Xu Huang, who had captured the first city wall, should have been happy, but now he was full of aggrieved while hiding behind the shield.

Cao Jun had already figured out how to deal with the loss of the first line of defense, and left behind the means from the initial construction of the defense line.

Battlements!On the eight walls built by Cao Jun's camp, only the outer side has battlements, which means that there is no battlement protection behind Cao Jun's camp.

Under the gentle slope angle, Cao Jun gave full play to his own advantages, and the longbow could fully reach the distance of [-] meters.

I saw the Hebei soldiers who rushed up Cao Jun's first city wall one by one aggrieved and hid behind their shields to bear Cao Jun's attack, as if they had become the defensive side.

dong dong dong~
The sound of the drum beating was ringing all day long, Xu Huang couldn't help looking back, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Guo Jia, who was riding a war horse, came to the battlefield with a smile, and Zhang Yun accompanied him respectfully, not daring to be sloppy in the slightest.

"General Zhang, you can order the catapult to advance, and with the help of the cover of Cao Jun's city wall, concentrate a little bit of kerosene to break Cao Jun's second line of defense."

"I will understand at the end."

Zhang He clasped his fists and saluted Guo Jia respectfully, then turned around and commanded the army to start pushing the catapult forward.

Guo Jia rode his horse and stood still, looking at the time-consuming city wall of Cao Jun from a distance, his bright eyes were full of vigor.

"It's evil, you go to the army and dispatch five thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the first city wall."

It is said to be a city wall, but it is actually a city wall mixed with mud as the base of a wooden village. It may take a long time to build such a city wall, but it is a pity that it is destroyed very quickly.

It didn't take a while for Dian Wei to command five thousand soldiers and horses to rush over, but they missed the central battlefield.

Woo~woo~
The horn of attack sounded again, and this time the Hebei soldiers pushed the siege equipment to enter through the gate of the first camp, and Cao Jun had already started to counterattack.

After the siege equipment was pushed in one after another, the soldiers began to push slowly, and even temporarily hid behind.

buzz~
Cao Jun's catapults were the first to exert their strength. The rain of stones slammed into the first line of defense. Without the cover of battlements, the Hebei soldiers suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Xu Huang gritted his teeth and hid behind the shield. He couldn't take a step back until he received the king's order, and the wailing of the soldiers kept coming from his ears.

And at this moment, click~click, the sound of broken wine jars sounded continuously. Through the gap in the shield, Xu Huang saw countless jars and jars falling from the sky. This was their catapult.

buzz~
Dozens of catapults concentrated on attacking at one point, and suddenly a pungent smell of kerosene came, and then the rain of fire fell from the sky all over the sky.

Ah ~
on fire~
On the second line of defense, a raging fire was burning on the city wall, which was only a hundred meters long, and at this time Wang Ling also came from the rear.

"The king has an order, attack! Attack!"

hooho~
Xu Huang, who propped up the shield in one hand, let out a loud roar, commanding the army to rush down to the top of the city and start attacking, but this time it was obvious that the Hebei army was at a disadvantage.

Under the condescending terrain, Cao Jun's catapults and crossbows exerted a stronger range advantage. On the other hand, because of the barrier of the first line of defense, the Hebei Army's countless siege equipment could not be used at all.

"Send another [-] soldiers to Xu Huang's dispatch to attack Cao's second line of defense."

promise!
"Order Hua Xiong to help destroy Cao Jun's city wall."

kill~
This time, the Hebei soldiers bit the bullet and relied on simple siege equipment to storm Cao Jun's second city wall.

Cao Cao planned it from the very beginning. The first city gate was built so low that tall siege equipment such as archery towers and ladders could not enter at all.

This time Xu Huang roared angrily, and the soldiers under his command carried simple ladders one by one, and countless feather arrows flew down and took away fresh lives one by one.

This time, only the catapults could be used. Relying on the advantage of the relatively long range, Zhang Yun commanded the soldiers to pile up the catapults outside the first city wall, but they couldn't see the second city wall, so they could only keep going. Paging the next attack.

"This Cao Cao is too cautious. The third line of defense is obviously an excellent place for cavalry."

I saw the third line of defense, which was not a continuous city wall, but intermittent city walls, and the fourth line was a connected city wall.

Obviously, after the second city wall fell, if they continued to attack, the cavalry would cross attack them from left to right from intermittent gaps, but their cavalry could not rush in effectively and quickly.

However, the Hebei army has been silent for so long and suddenly came to attack, it is not that they are not fully prepared.

I saw wooden carts with thick boards rushing in through the gate of the first line of defense.

After the wooden cart was thrown down, the soldiers commanded by Xu Huang took over, pushing the top of the wooden cart in front of them one by one, defending against the attack of arrows.

"My lord, are the Hebei soldiers dying!"

Under the brutal fighting, it was a scene of massacre. The generals of Cao Jun who watched were full of shock. Nowadays, almost all Hebei soldiers and horses are constantly falling down. On the contrary, very few of them fall down.

"It's not that soldiers in Hebei are desperate, but it takes time!" Xi Zhicai answered the generals' doubts, pointing to the dust flying in the distance.

Under a city wall, grizzled soldiers wielded shovels and shovels, and kept digging the city wall, revealing the thick wooden piles standing below.

The thick ropes were nailed into the city wall, hooking out the wooden stakes inside, and then dozens or even hundreds of war horses neighed, struggling to pull the wooden stakes inside the city wall.

Click ~ click ~
The solidified soil splashed, and the stretched rope was pulled wildly by the horse, and the wooden stakes made a brittle sound and were pulled out.

If the first line of defense is completely destroyed, it will take at least half a day unless Lu Bu's army is all overwhelmed.

Obviously, it is necessary to open dozens of gaps to allow large-scale siege equipment to be transported in. Seeing Cao Jun's fierce offensive, the main generals Zhang Yun and Xu Huang who were in charge of this attack were full of aggrieved.

"My lord, it's better to suspend the siege and wait for the first line of defense to open a few gaps."

Seeing the heavy casualties of the soldiers on the front line, Guo Jia couldn't help but said the proposal. After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded slowly, "Let Zhang Yun and Xu Huang decide on the frontline attack."

Now he is no longer the general who used to lead troops to fight, but the number one king in the world who holds four states in his hands, and he cannot always decide everything.

When the Wang Ling came, Zhang He, who was located under the first line of defense, was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy, and he couldn't help shouting: "Order Xu Huang to retreat and stabilize his position!"

wow~
With the generals, the Hebei soldiers retreated like a tide. This time, they retreated more thoroughly, completely retreating outside the first line of defense. The black soldiers leaned against the city wall, and the feathered arrows and boulders all over the sky could not be attacked at all. to them.
