The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118

The torrential rain has become a thing of the past, but God is still lingering, and it is drizzled uncontrollably. The thick black clouds in the sky have disappeared, and it is gray, and the entire battlefield is shrouded in smoky drizzle.The accumulated water on the ground mixed with the blood of Cao Jun's soldiers, pouring into the moat like a torrent, and the moat became a river of blood.The water level of the Blood River skyrocketed accordingly.

Just when Cao Jun in the misty rain approached the city and began to shoot arrows at the top of the city to fight back, Hao Zhao also discovered something that gave him a big headache. The role, so the blow to the enemy will definitely be weakened a lot.Can't control so much anymore, let's shoot.The other guards were also aware of this problem at this time, but without hesitation, they ordered the soldiers to open their bows. Arrows that are not poisonous can still kill people.

The two sides shot each other, and immediately formed an artificial rain in the sky, which seemed to be more miraculous than the God's power just now.Cao Jun's advantage in the source of troops showed its effect at this moment.The arrows shot from under the city unexpectedly reached the level of shoulder-to-shoulder crowd.It seems that the void in front of me cannot accommodate these migratory locusts.The tip of each arrow is almost touching the tail of another arrow, like a continuous curtain that suddenly descends from the sky.

In just two or three blinks of an eye, the city head, city walls, and the alleyway above the watchtower have been covered with a layer of black arrows, as if a cloak had been draped over the city wall of Liyang.The soldiers defending the city suffered a lot of casualties.

Although covered by dense arrows, Cao Cao's vanguard suffered heavy losses.

Cao Jun, who was absolutely superior in numbers, gradually lost his mind under repeated blows. They all looked like old wolves baring their teeth, roaring like wild beasts, shooting arrows endlessly while holding up their shields and raising their hands. Facing the rain of arrows on the ladder, he ran forward.After the arrows were chopped, the dense arrows on the city wall and the howling blows of the heavy crossbows shot all the enemies within the range into a beehive, but these people were like a pack of wolves, they did not know how to flinch, and fell down One, ten or twenty will come up immediately, giving people the illusion that more and more are being killed.

Cao Jun, who took time out of his busy schedule to shoot arrows and fight back, caused many casualties to the defenders on the city due to their large number.Due to the heavy rain just now, most of the soldiers got a rest and were not as embarrassed as Cao Jun, so their combat effectiveness was relatively stronger.A soldier who had been chopped off by an arrow fell down, and immediately his comrades took his place and continued to shoot.

Xu Chujun's offensive was thwarted again and again under the attack of the city defenders who were not afraid of death. On the side of the moat, there were corpses enough to block the river.Xu Chu organized four charges in a row, but was forced back abruptly.Every time the soldiers who rushed up, half or less would not be able to come back and join one of the dead bodies in the moat.Just when it was getting late and Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops, dozens of ladders were finally built on the moat.

With a cry, the soldiers threw down their shields and frantically rushed towards the edge of the city wall stepping on the ladder.Cao Cao raised his hand and put it down again. He saw hope.A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Crock pots filled with pungent kerosene were dropped on the city wall, and then thrown on the ladders, followed by a string of rockets. Flames flew over the moat, burning dozens of ladders to ashes.But part of Cao's army has already rushed to the city.The smoke was filled with countless howls and shouts.Dozens of ladders were put on the river, and then another 2000 people attacked the city.

Hao Zhao has been waiting for this moment for a long time.He ordered the archers and the soldiers who controlled the crossbow to ignore the Cao army under the city, just shoot the Cao army on the other side of the river, and don't let them cross the river.Shoot hard, keep shooting, never stop.

When the soldiers got this kind of order, they didn't care about anything, they just kept pulling the bowstring and shooting towards the other side of the river, regardless of whether they could hit someone or not.Cao Jun rushed over afterwards, and the soldiers who wanted to cross the river were immediately blocked by a cluster of arrows drifting like heavy rain.Behind Hao Zhao stood a team of fortification soldiers, each in a group of three, with a huge millstone set up.

The people behind Cao Jun couldn't get up, and the soldiers who attacked the city in front couldn't attack the city without ladders to support them. Standing at the bottom of the city and staring blankly, at this moment, they suddenly felt that the ground was dark in front of them, and hundreds of huge millstones fell from the sky.Two to 3000 people, with few people making a sound, were all crushed into meatloaf.

With a wave of Hao Zhao's hand, the arrows on the city became sparse immediately, and another pair of thousands of soldiers rushed up from the opposite side.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the bottom of the city, he encountered a black rain that covered the sky and covered the sky - kerosene.The scalding kerosene, mixed with human feces, is super corrosive, as long as it touches the skin, it will immediately peel off the skin and see the bones, scalding to death.Cao Jun's soldiers were shocked all of a sudden, and the charge immediately slowed down.

Xu Chu yelled angrily from behind, and personally raised his knife and got off his horse to charge. Cao Cao couldn't stop him. Seeing General Xu Chu leading the way, the soldiers rushed forward even more desperately.

This charge was the most morale of Cao Jun after he approached the city wall.Hao Zhao felt strongly that a huge threat was approaching.I thought it would be impossible if I didn't try my best this time.Looking down from the top of Liyang City, Cao Jun was overwhelming, with dense crowds of heads surging, pounced like mad dogs, and screamed hoarsely.Tens of thousands of pairs of blood-red eyes.Almost 200 people are climbing up the ladder for every meter of the city wall.

Hao Zhao took a deep breath and tried his best to keep calm and clear-headed.Suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Do it."

This "hands-on" sound made the arrogant Cao Jun infantry understand what it means to be a master defender of the city. The arrows roared in the sky, the wooden guns and fire bricks roared on the ground, and the rolling stones and giant crossbow arrows combined with boiling oil drove all the people under the city to the ground. Cao's soldiers were engulfed in a smoky sea of ​​flames.There are many powerful and effective weapons that Cao Jun has never seen before.In the unobstructed open space beside the moat, under the several feet wide city tower, flying fireworks swept across the ground, and thousands of firearms ruthlessly destroyed the spirit and body of Cao Jun's soldiers.Cao Cao's complexion began to change, he only hoped that Xu Chu was still alive——

Wen Chou is not very good at defending the city, his grades are far worse than Hao Zhao's.As a result, Li Dian's army had already built a pontoon bridge with wooden boards on the moat, and drove the charging cart across the city.The Chongcheng chariot is also called "wooden donkey".It is covered with buffalo leather soaked with medicinal materials, which is not easy to burn.There are grooves on the bottom, which can hide thirty to forty soldiers, which is very effective in covering the siege.Defending a city depends on tools, and attacking a city depends on powerful tools.

"Boom boom boom boom" two city rush vehicles hit the city gate one after another, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. "The strong west city gate finally could not bear the impact. The bolts on the gate were broken from the middle. The two city gates slammed on the wall built of huge stones, and dust and debris were thrown up everywhere. The morale of Cao's army who attacked the city was greatly boosted. Shouts rose from the sky, covering up all the sounds of fighting and weapons clashing. But what greeted them was——

The city-rushing vehicle responsible for hitting the door retreated in a hurry, giving way to the infantry and cavalry regiments behind them.Like a large number of black ants ignoring their own life and death, Cao Jun gathered in one place and attacked the city gate.

A hundred arrows, about the size of a woman's arm, swept towards them with a whistling sound, piercing through and killing the two hundred soldiers who were walking in the front, and knocked them five or six feet away.A dense crowd of soldiers was passing through the relatively narrow city gate, and there was no way to escape. The second row of arrows shot out again, another chain reaction like pushing dominoes, and another two hundred soldiers were blown away for no reason. go out.When the scared Cao Jun soldiers finally regained a little consciousness and thought of the word 'run', the third row of shuttle crossbows had already been shot out——

Li Dian was wondering from behind, why did his soldiers suddenly fly out one by one instead of rushing in?When he saw clearly that all the soldiers flying upside down had a crossbow arrow ten times larger than the usual bow and arrow stuck in their chests, he finally understood what was going on.

"Bistball" Li Dian is a famous general of his generation, so he has naturally heard of this thing.

Before he finished speaking, another wave of rocks flew in the city and fell on the soldiers who turned around and fled.The soldiers of Cao Jun screamed, rolled and crawled, and ran backwards holding their stumps and broken legs.

"Boom" there was a cannon sound in the city.A pair of cavalry rushed out arrogantly, hacked and killed Cao Bing who was fleeing desperately along the road, and rushed towards Li Dian like a whirlwind.

The follow-up troops who were preparing to attack, including Li Dian, were all stupid for a while, thinking that they had a fever.How dare someone rush out? ! !

Caught off guard, chaos!
Wen Chou led the most elite Black Dragon Knights, and went straight to Li Dian, a fast string-controlling warrior. Wherever he went, there were corpses. He drew out his knife and charged into the camp of Li Dian, who only knew how to attack the city but forgot to defend. A hack.Li Dian, who was stunned, was no match for Wen Chou. He was beaten up by Wen Chou and left in a hurry. The soldiers behind him were defeated immediately and retreated.Wen Chou hunted for a while, not daring to go too far from the city, led his troops back to the city, and closed the city gate again.I am a hooligan, who am I afraid of! !
