With the sound of rumbling attacking drums, the [-] Han troops were divided into three square formations, and the heavy armored infantry lined up at the end, advancing to the front of the city together. The number of people was dense. Looking from a height, the black Han troops under the moonlight were densely packed. , like a colony of ants, covered the ground outside the county seat.

"Forward!" To the sound of drums, Pin raised his saber and shouted.

"Sweep Cao's army, conquer the world, advance!"

. . . . . . . .

Under the thunderous shouts of the soldiers, [-] Han troops advanced towards the county seat like an overwhelming mountain. This time, the siege weapons used by the Han army were all made on the spot.

The first is the raft for breaking the city, which is used to cross the moat. The moat of the city is not wide, only three feet. The Han army tied together ten big trees. , Straight and long, each big tree is four or five feet long, keep its branches, after they are densely bundled, stretched with a layer of fire-resistant cooked cowhide, it becomes a temporary trestle.

This kind of cross-city raft can not only enable the Han army to rush through the moat, but also can be used as a siege ladder. On it, cross-bars suitable for kicking feet are nailed, so that the army can climb up the city, which is very convenient for heavy armored infantry to attack the city.

Dozens of soldiers are running on a large raft, which can also resist Cao's bow and arrow and catapult attacks.

With the sound of war drums, [-] Han troops were mobilized. The Sword and Shield Army, the Spear Army, the Crossbow Army and the Heavy Armored Infantry, the mighty Han army merged into a spectacular black tide, rushing towards the city.

On the top of the city, Cao Jun was ready, and the east and west rows of twenty light-duty trebuchets creaked apart. This kind of trebuchet was only eight feet high, and the throwing pole was two feet and four feet long. Throw heavy objects 180 steps away.

Its biggest feature is that it occupies a small area, which is very suitable for a city wall that is not wide like a county, and only 20 people can operate it.

Half of the forty trebuchets were used to project boulders, and the other half were used to project kerosene pots. Each of the leather pockets contained thin-skinned pottery pots containing [-] catties of kerosene. Numerous actual combat tests replaced the original kerosene barrels and became necessary military supplies for the Han and Cao troops.

The attacking Han army is getting closer and closer, and has already entered the 150-step line. If it is a heavy-duty trebuchet driven by a hundred people, it can be projected, but the trebuchet in the city is relatively small, with a range of only 180 to [-] steps. Cao Junya of the machine shouted loudly: "Ready to launch!"

The soldiers who operated the trebuchets were shaking with nervousness, their hands trembled, and they waited anxiously for the projection order.

But Li Dian, the general, calmed down at this time. He watched the Han army's attack wave approaching the city step by step. He found that there were no Han army catapults, nest carts, or even large ladders, which reassured him a little. At this time A soldier shouted: "General, the enemy's forward has reached 250 paces!"

Li Dian nodded and shouted sharply: "Shoot from the bed crossbow!"

Cao Jun's bed crossbow suddenly fired, one crossbow with two arrows, and a hundred three-foot-long iron arrows shot at the group of Han troops powerfully. The Han army's vanguard turned their backs and dozens of soldiers were shot down.

The strong shooting desire tempted the general who commanded the trebuchet, but the red flag in his hand was never waved down. If the red flag was not waved down, the forty Cao army commanders would not dare to give the order to shoot.

At 180 steps, the Han army finally entered the range of the trebuchet, and the red flag of the tooth general finally waved down, "Shoot!" Forty Cao army commanders shouted almost simultaneously.

The trebuchet started, and forty long throwing rods swung out, throwing 20 yuan boulders and twenty kerosene pots at the Han army. The boulders made a sharp whistling sound, rolled in the air, and appeared swiftly On top of the heads of the Han army, the soldiers of the Han army yelled and dodged to both sides. Although the stone only weighed twenty or thirty catties, it was still extremely powerful when it was dropped from a high place.

'boom! ' With a muffled sound, the boulder fell, and dust flew up. Several Han soldiers were unable to dodge, their brains were smashed, and they died tragically on the spot.

But the clay pot shattered, and the kerosene splashed out, flying three feet away. The soldiers of the Han army knew it was terrible, and buried the kerosene with soil.

At this time, a [-]-jin boulder hit the cross-city raft above the soldiers' heads. There was a loud bang and a series of shattering sounds. Ten Han soldiers who were hiding under the raft stumbled out, and some were injured by falling logs and lay on the ground in agony.

The second round of trebuchets was launched again. At this time, the Han army had rushed within a hundred steps. Cao Jun found that the kerosene was useless, so he replaced them all with big stones. Head on.

The soldiers of the Han army shouted and dodged, but many soldiers were still smashed and shot. For a while, flesh and blood flew everywhere, shields were broken, and rafts were broken.

Although the trebuchets and bed crossbows are quite powerful, they are too small in number to cause huge damage. Ten thousand soldiers of the Han army have rushed to the city. The Han army shot away.

The soldiers of the Han army raised their shields to meet them, and people continued to die tragically with arrows. In the rain of arrows, thousands of soldiers of the Han army bombarded the four-foot-long cross-city raft! The ground was placed on the moat, forming more than [-] temporary tree bridges, one of which was four feet high, and a wide climbing ladder made of cross-city rafts was built on the top of the city.

Groups of brave Han soldiers rushed up the ladder and began to climb up. Cao Jun's arrows rained obliquely, and the rolling wood and rocks fell head-on. Strings of Han soldiers screamed and fell down the stairs, being shot by arrows. , the head was smashed, and the dead bodies piled up under the city wall like a mountain, followed by Han soldiers frantically climbing up the stairs, charging upwards desperately.

At this time, Liu Hu, whose eyes were red with anxiety, rushed to Pin and shouted sharply: "Is the governor letting us use it as a display?"

Apologetically, he said: "I'm just trying to test the enemy's reality, there will be heavy armored infantry attacking the city below."

He ordered: "The siege soldiers retreat and suppress the city with bows and arrows!"

When the order came out, the soldiers of the Han army retreated like a tide, and thousands of soldiers turned into crossbowmen, and raised their crossbows a hundred steps away to shoot at the top of the city, suppressing Cao Jun.

At this time, the drums of the Han army were loud again, shaking the heavens and the earth, and [-] heavy armored infantrymen in full armor came out to fight. Walking in line, they walked slowly, but every step they took was so thrilling and shocking, as if their arrival was unstoppable.

"One hundred steps... fifty steps."

Cao Jun's arrows whizzed over, shot clangingly at the heavy armor of the heavy armored infantry, and landed on the ground one after another. Cao Jun in the city had a strange movement. This formidable army was not afraid of arrows, which made them terrified. , Li Dian was also a little nervous, and the Han army even sent heavy armored infantry.

Dozens of huge attack ladders wrapped in thick cowhide climbed the city wall, and iron hooks hung on the battlements. The infantry struck the boulders and logs with long knives.

A heavy armored infantryman of the Han army split a log, but was hit by a heavy stone on the heavy armor. Although it was not fatal on the spot, the huge impact made him roll down, and the saber was thrown high. Hovering in the air, the cold light shone like a flying ice flower.

After all, the smashed Han army was a minority, and more heavy armored infantry lined up, attacking step by step against the raindrops of rolling logs and stones.

Li Dian was already sweating profusely. He tried his best to think of ways, shot with arrows, smashed with stones, burned with fire, all the methods he could think of were used, but in front of this Han army, all methods were of no avail. His face was pale, as if he saw the city fall for a moment.

No!There must be a way, his eyes suddenly stopped on the huge wooden ladder, the ladder rod was thicker than the legs, wrapped in thick cooked cowhide.

He stood in a daze for a while, then suddenly rushed up like crazy, raised the kerosene pot and threw it at the ladder desperately. This might be their only chance. The fire oil in the clay pot was poured down.

The flames began to blaze, and hundreds of Han army heavy armored infantry on the ladder were engulfed by the fire, screaming and jumping down the ladder, seeing that the heavy armored infantry would be defeated by the fire.

At this critical moment, there was a roar like a thunderbolt, and a huge black shadow swept towards him like a gust of wind. It was Liu Hu rushing up with raging fire.

He waved the saber, and the blood mist immediately filled the air. Three Cao soldiers were cut into pieces. He flew up and down with the saber, and in a short while, more than a dozen soldiers of Cao were chopped to the ground.

Li Dian's eyes were red with anxiety, he yelled, rushed forward with a big iron gun, and fought with Liu Hu, but the heavy armored infantry were deeply encouraged by the general, they were not afraid of the fire, and rushed to the top of the city with the fire , More and more heavy armored infantry rushed to the top of the city and began to line up to fight fiercely with Cao Jun, killing Cao Jun's soldiers retreating steadily.

Li Dian and Liu Hu fought for more than [-] rounds. Seeing that the Han army had occupied the city, he knew that the general situation was over, so he had no intention of fighting again. He sold an opening and turned around to escape, only to find that he was surrounded by hundreds of heavy armored infantry. Surrounded by regiments.

Liu Hu laughed loudly, "Even if you kill me, you can never escape."

Li Dian shouted loudly, turned around and went to kill Liu Hu again, but unexpectedly a large net rushed towards him, dragging Li Dian over, Li Dian struggled desperately, but more than a dozen sharp sabers resisted his attack at the same time On the front chest and throat, Liu Hu said coldly: "I respect you as a man, so I don't want to kill you, don't bring shame on yourself!"

Li Dian let out a long sigh, and closed his eyes in pain. At this moment, Liu Hu looked up to the sky and roared, "Brothers, follow me into the city!"

With a wave of his saber, he led thousands of heavy armored infantry into the county town along the corridor. Cao Jun's strategic city finally fell, and Liu Hu also won the bet. He took the county in less than an hour.
