Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 305
The lower part of the platform is hollow, and it is divided into rooms of temporary housing. All the soldiers and strong men who participated in the defense of the city can hide in it to rest. These platforms made of trees are very strong. Because they are wet wood, they are not afraid of visual inspection. Fire is not afraid of catapults.

This platform built according to Feng Yao's idea is to deal with the siege. When defending the city, if the enemy attacks with catapults, the soldiers can have a place to hide!

All the grain and grass from the nearby villages in the field were transported into the city, not even the firewood was spared, and they were all hidden inside the city wall.

If the enemy attacks, there will be not only crossbow arrows, stone throwing, but also fire!
At this moment, Laiwu City is like a ferocious beast of war, showing terrifying teeth, blood-red eyes, salivating!
At this moment, Feng Yao led Xiong Wei to appear at the North City Gate, with a chill in his eyes!

In the distance, Cao Cao's soldiers rushed quickly, shouting bursts!Behind it, siege equipment such as catapults, building carts, ladders, and city rushing carts moved forward slowly!
The sound of war drums is gradually sounding, exciting, and the leading generals are loudly encouraging morale!

"Cao Cao!! I'll wait for you to fight!!!"

"It's just that I don't need to do my best in this battle. Under the general trend, you are doomed to fail!!!"

This general trend can only be created by Feng Yao's hard work!At this moment, Feng Yao's extraordinary foresight appeared just now!
Similarly, not only Feng Yao can understand this general trend, but Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, etc. can also understand it, and even Cao Cao can understand it, but Cao Cao is not willing to admit defeat!
Cao Cao wanted to avoid Feng Yao, give up Yanzhou, and end the stalemate war with Lu Bu. What he wanted was to occupy Qingzhou to protect himself!Unexpectedly, Feng Yao still refused to let go!Also lead the army to attack!What made Cao Cao even more angry was that his ally Yuan Shao also fell into trouble!
Yuan Tan led the troops to Pingyuan County under the banner of Qingzhou Governor, but he had no intention of crossing the Yellow River to help Cao Cao. After Cao Cao got the news, he was furious, and the maid became a victim.

Therefore, Cao Cao had to put all his eggs in one basket! !

After Liu Bei fled from Xuzhou, he drove more than 30 ships, and still had nearly [-] elite soldiers under his command, as well as [-] male slaves and [-] female slaves! !With billions of dollars of money, [-] shi of food and grass, enough armor and weapons, etc., as long as Liu Bei is given a small piece of land, he can make a comeback soon! !
Liu Bei and others went northward along the coast. Originally, they wanted to take refuge with Cao Cao. They used Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou to take back Xuzhou from Feng Yao, or joined forces with Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu, and finally attacked south together! !

However, I didn't expect Feng Yao to appoint Zang Ba as the governor of Qingzhou immediately after acquiring Xuzhou. Although Liu Bei speculated that this appointment was Feng Yao's conspiracy, there was nothing he could do for the time being!
"Cao Cao will eventually be annexed by Feng Yao!!" Liu Bei's opponent sang.

Choosing to join Yuan Shao, Liu Bei didn't want to use Yuan Shao to grab the territory from Feng Yao, but Guan Zhong!He took a fancy to Hanoi, and he took a fancy to Luoyang! !
Liu Bei's plan is very big! !

In the capital city of Chang'an, the news that Li Jue and Guo Si went to war is no secret.

Chen Deng said in secret: "The emperor is likely to die soon! At that time, if you, as the emperor's uncle, happen to occupy Luoyang at the same time, all officials will support you to become the ninety-five supreme king!! Hanoi The county is connected to Yuan Shao and Jizhou, and Zhang Yangsu is at odds with Yuan Shao. If you can take advantage of Yuan Shao's influence, take Hanoi, and then cross the Yellow River to capture Henan Yin, then Luoyang will be under your control!..."

Yuan Shao was surprised by Feng Yao's rapid growth. When he learned that Feng Yao was the son of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao suddenly understood, "The Central Plains is no longer what I can hope for now!! If I can unify the North, maybe I can I can attack from north to south, only in this way can I become the supreme in the world!! Even if I can’t, at least I can stand side by side with Feng Yao with the Yellow River as the boundary and divide the world!!”

And if Yuan Shao wants to have the power to fight Feng Yao, he must first unify the north. Only in this way, Feng Yao will not easily attack the north! !
With Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao in the south to contain Feng Yao, Feng Yao will not be so stupid as to easily cross the river and attack the north! !

At this moment, the general trend of the world is changing, Cao Cao becomes a chess piece that temporarily holds Feng Yao back, and Liu Biao is another chess piece that will pose a serious threat to Feng Yao! !

Outside Laiwu City
Cao soldiers were like ants, roaring and rushing towards Laiwu City.

Cao Cao also roared in his heart: "If I capture Laiwu and kill Feng Yao, then Lv Bu and Yuan Shu will surely fight again!! Join Liu Yao, join Liu Biao, and rely on my Cao and Xiahou's reputation for generations! Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou yellow scarves, I will rise in the Central Plains!! At that time, I will personally lead the iron cavalry, step through Hebei, and kill Yuan Shao's family!! To repay today's anger!!!"

"Come on!!"

After receiving the firing range of the city guard crossbow, several city charging vehicles suddenly roared, speeded up, and rushed towards Laiwu City!
Its aura seemed to smash through the city gate in one fell swoop! !

Feng Yao was at the top of the city, showing his murderous intent, and when the rushing vehicle was about to approach the city gate, he immediately ordered: "Pull up the suspension bridge!!"

Cao Cao's soldiers, who were roaring and rushing forward, were taken aback when they saw this, and stayed on the spot!
I watched helplessly as the only suspension bridge leading to the city gate was pulled up!

In Cao Cao's camp, the roaring stopped abruptly, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Hahahaha!!" On the top of the city, Feng Yao's Xiong Wei laughed loudly.

Feng Yao didn't put away the suspension bridge. He originally wanted to trick Cao Cao. If there is someone who is blind and rushes forward to pass the suspension bridge and then take the ladder, then he only needs to pull the rope lightly, and there will be someone in the middle of the suspension bridge. The two movable planks will fall down, allowing the enemy in armor to sink in the water, even if they can swim, they cannot surface.

Cao Cao was furious, and ordered the catapult behind to speed up!
And the dozens of soldiers who were trapped in the formation, unable to advance or retreat, could only hide under the charging cart, not daring to show their bodies, otherwise the arrows from the top of the city would greet them immediately!
"Qingzhou soldiers! Go forward and build a shield wall!! Fill up the moat for me!!" Cao Cao quickly issued another order.

On the city wall, Feng Yao's archers did not use a lot of arrow rain, because under the shield wall built by the Qingzhou soldiers, the arrow rain would only waste the few arrows!It is an archer with good shooting skills, who can shoot freely at any time. Whenever he sees a flaw there, he will immediately shoot the enemy with several arrows.

Although the siege and defense of the city were massive, there were not many casualties. Soon it was getting late. Although the catapults were transported to the bottom of the city, Cao Cao's soldiers were exhausted because they were pushing and pulling the luggage with all their strength in the mud. Cao Cao stopped and retreated. In the second mile, Yizishui set up a camp.

Cao Cao asked Xi Zhong, "Zhicai, will Feng Yao come to rob the camp at night? Is our army a little closer to the city? It would be safer if we were five miles away from the city."

"My lord, no matter whether Feng Yao will come to rob the camp or not, we have to be on the safe side. We are betting on fate in this war! Feng Yao leading the troops here, as long as they step into our trap and fall into our ambush , This is enough to change our fate!" Xi Zhong's eyes were shining brightly.
