At the same time as Cao Jun's foot soldiers roared and charged, Cao Jun's war drums immediately rang out like thunder. The sound of war drums was extremely exciting, and Sergeant Cao couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The Cao army began to storm the city walls, and the overall defense of the shield array was inevitably removed. This is a great time for a Ballista attack.

"Ballist adjusts the angle of fire! Shoot! Tian Feng commanded in a hoarse voice.

The soldier operating the catheta was given the order and immediately turned one of the handles on the back seat of the catera, and the cathea was lifted up at an angled angle to the bottom of the city walls. The ballista made by the Northern Army had long considered the need for shooting under the city walls at close range, so the brilista was equipped with a simple mechanical device, and the angle of fire could be lowered by turning a handle behind the saddle.

After adjusting the angle, the soldiers who operated the catheta jerked a brass ring on the base of the cathetist, and then saw a rain of arrows pouring down into the soldiers below the city like a swarm of bees out of a hole. It was a breathless sight.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the blood flowers suddenly bloomed one by one, and it was difficult to estimate how many people Cao Bing had fallen at this moment.

The wooden stones on the city wall have also been thrown off the city wall without interruption. Cao Jun was smashed to the point that his head was broken, and his blood and flesh were flying.

The Ballista cart was immediately pushed to the rear and reloaded after firing a ** round.

Cao Jun withstood the rain of arrows and trees that flew down and set up the cloud ladder on the city wall. Then he rushed up the ladder to the top of the city. In the process, from time to time, Sergeant Cao was hit by an arrow or hit by a stone and fell from the ladder. It was a spectacle and a brutal scene.

In the rear of the storming troops, thousands of crossbowmen were firing arrows at the city walls, and although their attacks were not very effective, they also caused some casualties to the northern army.

Under the attack of the Northern Army, the losses of the Cao army were extremely heavy, but this did not stop the advance of the Cao army, and after the Cao army paid heavy casualties, the soldiers finally landed on the top of the city.

The Northern Army immediately made corresponding adjustments. The crossbowmen retreated to the back, and the crosssword warriors, sword and shield soldiers, and halberd soldiers pushed forward at the same time.

In the sword and gun fight, Cao Cao's army, which was temporarily in the opposite direction, could not parry at all. Cao Cao's soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were either killed on the spot or thrown directly from the city.

But that didn't last long. In the brutal hand-to-hand combat, Cao Cao's army opened a gap in the southern city wall, and then Cao Cao's army quickly gathered there along the ladder.

It turned out that Cao Cao's army, who commanded the siege, would take the lead and pretend to focus on attacking the central and northern city walls, but in fact, he was secretly preparing for a strong attack on the southern city wall. When the attention and strength of the northern army were attracted to it, Cao Cao's army suddenly exerted its strength and concentrated its forces to launch a strong attack on the southern city wall, and at the same time, all the archers' firepower was also transferred to the southern city wall. The northern army was caught off guard, first killed and wounded by the archers of the Cao army, and then under the fierce impact of the Cao army, it was suddenly attacked by the Cao army.

The siege troops opened a gap, and when Cao Cao's army saw this, they couldn't help but shout together. Cao Cao, who was paying close attention to the progress of the battle, was excited, and immediately exclaimed loudly; "Wen Qian is really good!" Immediately he ordered; "Order Cao Hong's troops to attack! Support General Lejin! "

The herald receives the order, and even if he wants to go down to give the order. At this time, Cao Cao stopped him again: "Wait! Tell General Cao Hong to spread out as much as possible when the army advances! "。 The reason why Cao Cao told him so much was also a last resort, Cao Jun's catapult troops had been destroyed, and Cao Jun now had no means to suppress the catapults of the Northern Army, so he could only reduce the lethal effect of the catapults of the Northern Army by spreading out the formation as much as possible.

A moment later, there was movement in the Cao army's large array. I saw 30,000 foot soldiers break away from the big array and quickly rush towards Huguan. These 30,000 foot soldiers were scattered very widely, completely different from the situation in peacetime when the army was attacking the city.

On the southern city wall, the strength of the Northern Army was at a disadvantage, and although the soldiers of the Northern Army fought desperately, they could not suppress the Cao army.

As more and more soldiers of the Cao Army ascended to the top of the city, the Northern Army gradually could not suppress the situation, and the situation appeared precarious.

At this moment, Zhang Fei appeared at the head of the city, and he led thousands of horizontal sword warriors to rush along the city wall transportation road to the south of the city wall.

The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army guarding the south faced more and more Cao troops and fought hard, but they were outnumbered in the end, and the city walls were lost inch by inch. The corpses on the city walls were like mountains, and the blood gathered into a thin stream flowing between the cracks of the city bricks.

At the most critical moment, Zhang Fei finally led the horizontal sword warriors to join the battle.

I saw Zhang Fei roaring, brandishing the Zhangba snake spear and setting off a hurricane in the Cao army's soldiers. Everywhere the spear passed, I saw stumps splashing and blood splashing.

The horizontal knife warrior who followed closely behind Zhang Fei shouted violently, and smashed into the enemy army with a sharp horizontal knife in his hand, and fought with the enemy army. The horizontal sword warriors are the elite of the infantry army, second only to the Mo knife soldiers, and as soon as they enter the field, they will fight Cao Jun retreating.

However, Cao Jun also behaved very strongly, in the face of Zhang Fei and the strong counterattack of the horizontal knife warriors, Cao Jun roared and fought with the Northern Army, often changing knives for knives. That courage and fearlessness of death can almost be compared with the Northern Army!

But after all, the Northern Army is the Northern Army, and the more they fight, the more courageous they are, the more they let Cao Jun realize what is the real elite of the world!

The horizontal knife warrior holding the horizontal knife roared and sprinkled out a sword light, and used his life to take back the lost city wall inch by inch in the life-and-death killing array.

This battle for the head of the city was fought extremely fiercely, and it can really be described as 'an inch of city wall, an inch of blood'. The fearlessness and strong combat effectiveness of the Northern Expeditionary Army made the Central Plains Army feel for the first time how amazing the world's elite is in the mouth of the world; Although Cao Cao's army was slightly inferior in combat effectiveness, it was not inferior to the Northern Army in terms of momentum. If Chen Chu is here, he will definitely sigh: No wonder the Cao army in later history was able to sweep the world and be almost undefeated, this is really not without reason!

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at the blood on the city wall from afar, his face had turned red from excitement and nervousness, the fist holding the sword was trembling slightly involuntarily, and even his knuckles had turned white from overexertion.

The expressions of the other soldiers of Cao Cao's army were similar to Cao Cao's, and they were even more excited, and they couldn't help but shout loudly, obviously the bloody battle on the city wall made their beast blood boil.

At the same time as the bloody battle on the city wall was going on, the 30,000 supporting foot soldiers of Cao's army were rapidly approaching the city wall. When they reached a distance of 300 meters, they began to be continuously bombarded by catapult units of the Northern Expeditionary Army. However, since they were spread out, the catapults did not cause them much damage.

After a period of time passed when Cao Jun felt long and the Northern Army felt short, Cao Hong's 30,000 foot soldiers finally rushed under the city wall after paying the price of thousands of casualties. Immediately into battle. By this time, the total strength of Cao's army in attacking Huguan had reached 55,000, while the total number of defenders at Huguan was only 40,000.

Tian Feng, who was commanding the army to fight on the tower of the city gate, looked at the black Cao Jun under the city wall, and couldn't help frowning. If the situation continues to develop like this, then Huguan is bound to fail.

No way! Only use Thunderbolt now! Tian Feng made up his mind in his heart.

At this moment, there was a loud bang at the city gate, and then the soldiers on both sides of the city wall felt their feet shake violently.

Tian Feng's face couldn't help but change, and he asked urgently, "What's the matter?" "。 As soon as the words fell, a blood-stained soldier ran panting and reported: "My lord, one of Cao's army vehicles has broken through the blockade and started to crash into the city gate!"

Tian Feng was shocked in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Summons Vice General Li!" Dispatch the death squads! Use the thunder! "

Subsequently, a group of soldiers in unique costumes appeared on the city walls. They were not armoured, they were not armoured, and each of them was carrying a small bag. If a modern person sees this bag, he will surely exclaim: Isn't this a dynamite bag! That's right, the bag in the hands of these soldiers is the explosive bag, no, to be precise, it should be the gunpowder bag, this gunpowder bag is the first gunpowder weapon that Chen Chu let the craftsmen try to make with great effort to be used in actual combat, at present, this kind of gunpowder weapon in the Northern Army is still very limited, there are less than 1,000 in total, and there are only 200 in the hands of the Huguan defenders.

"Immediately use the 'Thunderbolt' to destroy the city gate of the city rushing car!" Tian Feng immediately ordered.

The two daredevils then lit the powder bag and threw it towards the city gate.

When the soldiers of the Cao army saw two small objects thrown down from the city wall, they originally thought they were stones, but the thing smashed on the head of a soldier, but it did not do anything to the soldier. Then the two things rolled to the ground and smoked, but no one took the scene to heart in the chaos of the battlefield.

A moment later, two fires rose from the gates, accompanied by two loud bangs. Suddenly, the whole earth seemed to tremble, and then thick black smoke rolled out.

Cao Jun was stunned by this sudden scene, and everyone didn't understand what was going on. Then, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a scene that surprised Cao Jun even more, only to see that a small piece of the place where the two flames rose was emptied, at least dozens of people were blown to pieces, and dozens of people were lying on the ground wailing in pain, many of them were blown to a bloody blur.

Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, suddenly saw the two flames rising up, and couldn't help but be shocked. What the hell is going on?!

"Ziyang, what's going on?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked Liu Ye, who was the best at the skills of a hundred crafts.

Liu Ye shook his head blankly, but did not answer.

The besieging Cao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then began to continue the siege. The two explosions just now didn't seem to have much impact on Cao Jun.

At this moment, the loud sound of the city car slamming the door sounded again. Tian Feng couldn't help frowning, and then he figured out what was going on.

It turned out that the city gate of Huguan was a concave hole, and Cao Jun's city car was in this hole to hit the city gate, this position was a dead end for the northern army on the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall had no way to effectively attack the city car in the hole, even if it was 'thunder', there was no way to effectively destroy the city car in the dead corner.
