The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 149 Chapter 149
It was already twilight, and the sun had not yet risen.

However, the air was already filled with the chill of dawn, and the grass was covered with gray dew. The early larks sang high in the half-bright and half-dark sky, hovering over the city of Puyang, with lonely His eyes stared at Puyang City standing on the ground.

Today's Puyang City was already on the verge of swords and arrows. Zhang Yan personally led more than 4000 people, arrived at the foot of Puyang City at dawn, and began to line up troops according to yesterday's plan.

In Puyang City, Cao Jun also boarded the city wall one after another. There are many swords and guns, bows and crossbows are ready, and a big flag with the word Cao on the tower is swaying in the cold wind and whistling by the strong wind, but it still stands tall. , showing the last trace of confidence.

At this moment, there was silence inside and outside Puyang City, and there was a sense of chill in the air.

When the thin morning fog gradually dissipated, the two armies could clearly see each other's strength. Facing the more than 2 well-groomed army below the city, the generals of Cao Jun in Puyang City were secretly speculating whether this time they could use the broken The city can withstand the enemy's attack.

There are more than 2 troops, all lined up outside the south gate of Puyang City. The army forms a square formation with every 2000 people. The team is densely covered with banners and mixed with many large siege weapons. There are ballistas, trebuchets, ladders and more.

Zhang Yan rode a dark cloud riding snow horse, located in the central army, surrounded by three generals, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao, and only [-] cavalry were neatly arranged behind him.

Gao Shun led Wei Xu, Cao Xing and other 2000 people at the forefront of the army, as the main task of the siege battle.

Yu Jin, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, and Chen Ying each led an army formation behind Gao Shun, and were ready to support the attack at any time.

Zhang Yan arranged [-] elite soldiers who are good at fighting in the forward position. His purpose is very obvious, that is, he wants to use these [-] elite soldiers to break through the gate of Puyang City.

"Beat the drum!" Zhang Yan ordered immediately.

Following Zhang Yan's order, the order was quickly conveyed. The drummer in the rear immediately waved the drumstick in his hand and began to beat the war drum vigorously.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The rumbling drums instantly broke the silence of the morning, and the dull drums suddenly beat the hearts of the soldiers, arousing the excitement in people's hearts to improve the morale of the army.

At the same time as the sound of the war drums was beating, it also heralded the beginning of the attack. Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others who were the main attackers were all gearing up. With their deep eyes, they looked straight at Cao Cao on the tower, His eyes were full of anger.

For Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others, this moment has finally come. Whether they can avenge the dead Lu Bu depends on today's attack.

Originally, Zhang Yan put Xu Sheng in the main attack position, but under Gao Shun's strong request, he agreed to let Gao Shun and others be the main attack.

Today, Gao Shun wants to use the little force he has in his hands to knock on the gate of Puyang City no matter what.

Gao Shun held the shield in one hand and the steel knife he had brought from Zhang Yan in the other, and shouted to his subordinates: "The battle is coming, you should go forward bravely, let Xuzhou soldiers see our courage, and let Cao Cao do well." Try our strength, break through the city gate, break through the urn city, enter the city, and avenge Feng Xiangong!"

"Vengeance! Revenge! Revenge!"

Exciting shouts rang out from the entire army formation, and Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others were all filled with righteous indignation, and their morale reached its peak all of a sudden.

Yu Jin, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Chen Ying and others were also infected, and the soldiers were gearing up and eager to try.

On the tower of Puyang City, Cao Cao frowned when he heard the cheering shouts coming from below the city, and saw that Gao Shun was the main attacker.

Cao Cao fought in Lu Bu many times, and he also knew Gao Shun quite well. He knew that the soldiers brought by Gao Shun were all elite soldiers.

This time Gao Shun was the main attacker, led by Lv Bu's old troops. They all wanted to avenge Lv Bu and regarded themselves as enemies. Driven by hatred, they often displayed amazing fighting power.

"Wonderful talent!" Cao Cao immediately shouted to Xia Houyuan who was standing beside him.

"The last general is here!" Xia Houyuan clasped his fists and said immediately.

Cao Cao pointed at Gao Shun at the bottom of the city, and said to Xia Houyuan, "Gao Shun is the main attacker this time. He is brave and good at fighting, and the troops he leads are all elite soldiers. Your archery skills are excellent, and you have the skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps. Once the battle begins, you must shoot Gao Shun to death with one arrow! Once Gao Shun dies, the camp will be leaderless, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, which can greatly relieve the pressure on our army."

"The general will understand!" Xia Houyuan clasped his fists and said.

Cao Cao asked Cao Hong and Li Dian to prepare for the battle, and he himself commanded the battle.However, Cao Cao has always had a question in his heart. With Zhang Yan's current strength, it is enough to surround Puyang City and attack from the four gates. That being said, there are definitely great benefits.

However, Zhang Yan arranged the army in front of a city gate, which made him puzzled. Why did Zhang Yan arrange troops like this?
Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now, and Cao Cao can only fight with all his strength.

After the first drum beat, Cao Cao thought that Gao Shun and the others would launch an attack directly, but to Cao Cao's surprise, Gao Shun and the others were still waiting for the battle, standing there motionless.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan's rear army surged. Thousands of soldiers pushed the huge well rails and moved slowly towards the city wall.

At the same time, [-] trebuchets were driven by the soldiers and began to move towards Puyang City.

Cao Cao looked over carefully, and suddenly found a clue. Zhang Yanjun's well fence and catapult seemed to be a little different from the ones he had seen before. There were wheels on the bottom of the war machine, which allowed soldiers to move freely. Place it wherever you want.

In addition, a hundred huge ballistas with wheels on the bottom were also pushed to the front line, aiming at Cao Jun on the tower.

What is Zhang Yan doing?
Cao Cao looked curiously at the Xuzhou soldiers surging below the city. When all the siege weapons were in place, he realized clearly that Zhang Yan wanted to use these siege weapons to attack first.

Zhang Yan watched everything in the army, and everything was going according to his plan. When the siege weapons were ready, Zhang Yan ordered people to beat the war drum again.

However, this time is different from the last time. The last time the drumbeat was slow, this time it was very fast, and the drumbeat became more and more intensive.

This is the signal to attack!

Accompanied by the sound of rapid drums, Zhang Yan's army began to attack, and the trebuchets began to throw boulders on the city wall; the giant ballista also began to attack on the tower; , manipulating a huge bow, one person holds the big bow in front, and the two put huge arrows on the bowstring, then pull the bowstring together with their strength, and shoot the arrow towards the tower of Puyang City.

All of a sudden, boulders, crossbow arrows, and arrows were all shot towards the tower of Puyang City. When the boulder hit the city wall, it was immediately shattered, and the debris flew around. Time filled the city tower with dust, and the eyes of many Cao Jun soldiers were fascinated by these powders, and they couldn't open their eyes at all.

At this time, the crossbows and arrows shot towards the tower at high speed. With the help of the powdery matter, many Cao Jun soldiers were shot to death by the arrows before they had time to dodge.

"Cough cough cough..."

Cao Cao on the tower was also coughing violently, and even his eyes could not be opened. Fortunately, Xia Houyuan and Cao Xiu stood beside him and immediately protected him and hid behind the female wall. Arrows shot through the body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The sound of boulders shattering continued to spread from the tower, which was also mixed with the whistling sound of "whoosh, whoosh". Countless densely packed arrows fell from the sky and shot down a large area of ​​Cao Jun on the tower.

Outside Puyang City, Zhang Yan saw the smog on the upper floors of Puyang City, and heard the screams from inside, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was exactly what he wanted.

Those boulders are actually containers specially made by Zhang Yan, which contain a lot of lime powder. As long as the container is broken, the lime powder inside will splash out to confuse people's eyes.

From the top of the city tower, there was a sound of curses from Cao Jun's soldiers, but to Zhang Yan and others, they were very happy.

"Attack!" Seeing that Cao Jun on the tower had lost the ability to defend, Zhang Yan immediately gave the order to attack.

Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and the others grew impatient for a long time. When they heard Zhang Yan's order, they rushed forward and quickly rushed to the gate of the city.

At this time, Gao Shun and others took out a bag of things, threw them directly on the city gate, and then withdrew to both sides.Throwing the fire pockets to the gate of the city from a distance, those things that were about to pile up into a hill, immediately burned when they saw the fire, and the fire quickly spread to the entire gate and began to burn the gate.

The raging fire burned the city gate, Gao Shun and others waited quietly on both sides of the city gate.

After a while, the city gate was burnt so fragile that Gao Shun's subordinates picked up a huge log with a sharpened head that had been prepared earlier, and began to hit the city gate.

With a sound of "boom", the city gate was rushed open. Wei Xu and Cao Xing, who were scattered on both sides of the city gate, didn't care the slightest bit about the raging fire burning at the city gate, and went through the flames and rushed directly into the city. .

Gao Shun and the others followed closely behind. Once they entered the city gate, they raised the steel knife in their hands and began to chop and kill.

The city gate was breached, and Yu Jin, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Chen Ying and others led their troops and charged towards the city gate immediately.

On the city tower, Cao Cao and others complained endlessly. When they learned that the city gate was breached in an instant, they immediately withdrew to the Wengcheng.

Xia Houyuan cleared the way first, Cao Xiu and Dian Wei protected Cao Cao, while Cao Hong and Li Dian scattered on the two wings, abandoned the guard towers, and rushed to the urn city.

Zhang Yan was not to mention how happy he was when he saw that the city gate had been breached with ease.He immediately ordered the trebuchet to be pushed forward again, ready to use it to deal with Cao Jun on the Wengcheng.

Although the method of using lime powder is a bit indiscriminate, but in order to defeat the enemy, any method can be used.

Seeing that the situation is very good, Zhang Yan immediately ordered: "The whole army launches a general attack!"
