Cao Cao's order was immediately passed down. Forced by Cao Cao's strict orders, Cao's catapult troops had no choice but to continue to advance, but this time their speed was much faster than before, and only by entering a distance of two hundred meters as soon as possible could Cao's catapult troops be able to fight back.

Cao's army failed to continue a few steps forward, and the 'artillery' of the Northern Army sent out another wave of 'meteor showers'. Immediately in the dust, Cao Jun's catapult troops suffered a lot of losses.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

At this time, Liu Ye on the side suddenly knelt down to Cao Cao and pleaded: "Lord, it's all incompetent, please punish the lord!"

Cao Cao hurriedly got down from the war horse, helped Liu Ye and said warmly: "Zi Yang is heavy!" How is it your fault? None of us expected that the catapults of the Northern Army would be so sharp! "。 In fact, Cao Cao's heart is very unhappy, but Cao Cao is not like Yuan Shao, what he is best at is hiding his true feelings.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Liu Ye couldn't help but be moved.

Although the catapult troops of the Cao army suffered heavy blows, they did not stop. Nearly 10,000 people pushed catapults and rushed forward in waves of 'meteor showers'.

Cao's losses were heavy, and their path was littered with shattered catapults and corpses.

Cao's catapult troops rushed regardless of casualties, approaching the Huguan city wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Fei, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and Cao Jun's performance showed that their catapult attack range was very limited.

After paying the price of more than half of the casualties, the catapult troops of the Cao army finally advanced to within 200 meters. At this time, there were still more than 400 catapults left in Cao Jun's remaining catapults.

Immediately, Cao Jun shouted and got busy, braving the stones that fell from time to time, desperately loading stones on the catapult. In the process, dozens of catapults were destroyed by the 'meteor shower' launched by the Northern Army.

After a few moments, the Cao army catapult unit was finally ready, and amid the hoarse shouts of the officers, the Cao army's catapult unit began to return fire. Immediately, a cloud of smoke rose from the outside of the Huguan city wall, and a loud noise sounded at the same time.

Cao Jun, who was in the rear, couldn't help but shout excitedly when he saw this scene.

In fact, the attack effect of this round of Cao Jun's catapult troops was not ideal, most of the stones were only smashed on the city bricks on the outside of the city wall, and only a few fell on the city wall, even if the stones that fell on the city wall did not cause much damage to the northern army, because the soldiers on the city wall had already entered the hidden soldier hole on the city wall first.

The Cave is a sturdy fortification made of large bluestone, capable of defending against all ranged attacks of the era, including catapult strikes.

At the same time as Cao's catapult troops attacked, Cao Cao ordered the army to attack the city in an all-out way. Immediately, five battalions with a total of 25,000 men broke out of the main formation, carried ladders and pushed the city-rushing carts and began to attack.

Putting 25,000 men into battle at the same time in one siege is definitely going to attack with all your might.

The reason why Cao Cao ordered an all-out attack at this moment was not because he was hot-headed, but after careful consideration, the catapult troops of the Northern Army were bound to be pinned down by the Catapult troops of the Cao army, and the siege troops of the Cao army would lose one of the biggest threats, and it was the right time to attack the city at this time.

In the cave, Zhang Fei and Tian Feng were observing Cao's movements through the lookout. Seeing that Cao's attacking troops had already swarmed up, Tian Feng couldn't help frowning and said, "It seems that Cao Cao is planning to storm and capture the city when our army's catapults have no time to take care of him!" "

Fuck! This Cao Cao is really going to plan the plate! Zhang Fei grinned and scolded, and then asked, "Mr. Tian Feng, is there a way to deal with it?"

After thinking for a while, Tian Feng replied: "Only by solving Cao Jun's catapult first, our defense will be easier!" General, you can send cavalry to attack and sweep away Cao's catapult troops! The Catapult unit of the Cao Army has become out of touch with other troops at the moment, this is our chance!

Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly walked down the city tower.

Seeing this, Tian Feng couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked urgently, "General, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei turned his head and grinned at Tian Feng and said, "Just like you said, I will lead the cavalry to attack!"

"How can this work! General, you are the main general, how can you personally take risks? Tian Feng objected fiercely.

At this moment, several loud noises suddenly sounded on the city gate tower, and it turned out that the city gate tower was hit by several large stones and collapsed. A puff of smoke rose from the tower of the city gate.

Zhang Fei turned his head to look at the smoke-filled city gate tower, and kept saying at his feet: "Okay! Time is running out right now, and I don't have time to chirp with you.

Seeing Zhang Fei's resolute attitude, Tian Feng couldn't, so he had to return to the hidden soldier cave on the city wall and be responsible for commanding the entire city defense force.

Zhang Fei came down from the city tower, immediately stepped on the war horses of his subordinates, and came to the city gate with the Zhangba snake spear in his hand. At this time, the five thousand cavalry were ready to go. It turned out that the 5,000 cavalry under Zhang Fei's command had been assembled on a small flat at the gate of the city these days, and the reason was very simple, that is, to attack at any time.

"Brothers, go out with me and destroy Cao Jun's catapult!" Zhang Fei raised his voice and immediately ordered the door officer: "Open the city gate!" Immediately

, the city gate was opened, Zhang Fei shouted loudly and took the lead, and five thousand iron horsemen followed closely behind Zhang Fei.

At this time, the siege force of the Cao army was still about 100 meters away from the catapult troops, while the cavalry of the Cao army was even farther away. Originally, Cao Jun's initial plan was that the cavalry would escort the catapult to attack Huguan, but the attack distance of the catapult of the Northern Army was unexpectedly far, and in this case, if the cavalry still protected the catapult according to the original plan, it could only add unnecessary casualties, so Cao Cao temporarily ordered that the catapult troops should rush forward to attack Huguan alone.

Thousands of cavalry of the Northern Army suddenly roared out from Huguan, seeing this scene, Cao Cao, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't help but change his face and shouted: "Not good! Immediately give an order, order the cavalry to attack, and be sure to defeat the cavalry of the Northern Army! The

herald then passed Cao Cao's order down. A moment later, the 20,000 cavalry of Cao's army on both flanks began to move, and the 20,000 iron cavalry kicked up dust and hurried towards the city gate.

When the cavalry of the Cao army was still fifty or sixty meters away from his own catapult troops, Zhang Fei had already led five thousand iron cavalry to rush into the catapult troops of Cao Cao's army like a violent wind.

Cao Cao's sergeants who operated catapults could only be regarded as light infantry, and they did not have much ability to resist in the face of cavalry assaults without forming a formation. However, these lightly armed infantry behaved very strongly, and under completely unfavorable circumstances, they even sacrificed their lives with the cavalry of the Northern Army. However, the gap in combat effectiveness and the restraint of arms could not be made up by courage alone, and under the sweeping sweep of the iron cavalry of the Northern Army, these lightly armed infantry operating catapults soon collapsed completely, and except for most of them, the few surviving ones fled backwards in panic.

Although the cavalry led by Zhang Fei defeated the Cao army's catapult troops as they wished, they fell into a crisis. Due to the delay of the light infantry of the Cao army, 20,000 cavalry of the Cao army had already arrived from both sides.

The cavalry of the Cao army was already close at hand, and in this case, it was impossible for the cavalry of the northern army to retreat immediately, otherwise, it was very likely that the cavalry of the Cao army would follow and rush into the city gate.

"Brothers! Kill the cavalry of the Cao army! Kill!! Zhang Fei shouted, and then a spear entered the cavalry group of Cao's army first. I saw that he used the spear to sweep left and right, opening and closing, and the momentum was overwhelming. Wherever they passed, the cavalry of the Cao army turned on their backs.

Ho!! The iron cavalry of the 5,000 Northern Army also shouted at the same time, and then followed Zhang Fei and rushed up against the cavalry of the Cao army.

In an instant, I saw the cavalry of the two sides staggered together, and in a thrilling roar, in a dazzling sword light, the cavalry of both sides fell from their horses one after another. The avalanche-like momentum of the cavalry is thrilling.

After a short but fierce encounter, the cavalry of the Northern Army and the cavalry of the Cao Army staggered by, exchanging positions. At this moment, the iron cavalry of the Northern Army was backed by the Cao army's large array, while the Cao army's cavalry was backed by the Huguan city wall.

Although the fierce battle just now lasted for a short time, the 5,000 Northern Army lost more than 1,000 people, and the cavalry of the Cao Army also paid a price of nearly 2,000. The fierceness and brutality of the battle can be seen.

Zhang Fei held a blood-dripping Zhangba snake spear and roared loudly in front of the formation, "Regroup immediately!" "。 The power of the cavalry is all in the impact force, and in order to maximize the impact power of the cavalry, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable shock formation.

At the same time as the cavalry of Zhengbei was reorganized, the cavalry of the Cao army on the other side was also regrouping.

Just as the cavalry of the two sides were facing each other, the Cao army's siege infantry continued to advance towards the city wall in an orderly manner. They did not seem to be affected by the cavalry units that were fighting, and they did not converge on the northern cavalry, after all, their mission was to attack the city, and no one thought that 20,000 cavalry would have any problems against the opponent's 5,000 cavalry.

The cavalry of the Northern Army completed the whole team in only a moment, and then launched another attack on the cavalry of the Cao Army in the high cheers. At this moment, the cavalry of the Cao army has not yet been completed. Based on this alone, it can be seen that the cavalry of the Northern Army is much more elite than the cavalry of the Cao Army.

The cavalry of the Northern Army and the cavalry of the Cao Army were only a few dozen meters apart, and thousands of iron cavalry of the Northern Army rushed to the front of the Cao Army in a blink of an eye. At this moment, the cavalry of the Cao army could not take care of the whole team, so they had to urge the horses to meet the cavalry of the northern army in a slightly busy manner.

Since the cavalry of the Cao army had not yet formed a formation, the impact force was obviously greatly affected. Under the sudden confrontation between the two armies, the iron cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was in a clear reversal, had a slight upper hand. The two cavalry are like two torrents in opposite directions, and although the torrent represented by the Northern Army is smaller, the momentum is much more violent.

In the blink of an eye, the iron cavalry of the Northern Army wedged into the depth of the cavalry of the Cao Army. However, the number of Cao's army was too much, and the advantage of the iron cavalry of the Northern Army soon disappeared.

After a thrilling battle, the cavalry on both sides exchanged positions again. The open space between the cavalry of both sides was littered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides.
