Seeing Hua Xiong showing weakness, Cao Cao laughed and said: "Form an alliance? What a joke. I have been ordered to take charge of Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Although you have joined the Han Dynasty, it is difficult to change your name as a traitor. If you open the city gate and join me, there may be another way.

A way out."

Hua Xiong's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "In that case, I will see how Cao's army can defeat the Liang Kingdom." As a fierce general, Hua Xiong is also arrogant. If the soldiers and horses outside the city are replaced by the Bingzhou Army,

Maybe he would consider surrendering, but Cao Cao was defeated by him back then. When he pursued Dong Zhuo, he was almost killed by the army.

"I am guarding the Liang and Pei tribes. I am also ordered by the Holy One. Shanyang Hou attacks my city. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's censure?" Hua Xiong still didn't want to start a war with Cao's army like this, so he reminded him.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "My son Hua Xiong, you have invaded the city under my rule for no reason. Even if the Holy Emperor sends people here, it will be difficult to save you."

"Cao Cao, man, have you forgotten what happened outside Xingyang City?" Hua Xiong replied unceremoniously.

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "I am not here to show off my rhetoric with you! After the city is broken, I will kill you!"

Hua Xiong led the cavalry to charge for a while, then returned to the city and defended the city, while Cao's army also returned to the camp.

The next day, Cao Cao gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses in the east of the city. Yuzhou was originally under Cao Cao's rule. The wells had been prepared before the army left the city. Fifty wells, which were only one line shorter than the city wall, were lined up in the east of the city.

Open, very spectacular.

The first things that appeared in Hua Xiong's field of vision were unknown things, which seemed a bit strange to Hua Xiong.

"Does Cao Jun want to attack the city with this thing?" Hua Xiong asked doubtfully.

The deputy general was also puzzled. When attacking a city, the most damaging thing to the defenders was the well. Once the archers on the well completely suppressed the defenders, the defenders would become extremely uncomfortable. Not only did they have to face the archers,

threats, and also had to deal with the soldiers attacking the city.

"Instruct the archers to be on guard against the enemy troops on the well fence. When Cao Jun approaches, let them taste the power of wood and rolling stones." Hua Xiong said coldly. He had the advantage of occupying the city. The weather was so cold that he did not believe Cao Jun.

Able to break through the Liang Kingdom,

Although the princes made detailed operations in Bingzhou, they did not find out much information. Hua Xiong had just entered Yuzhou, and he had no idea what kind of sharp weapons there were among the princes.

"My lord, as my subordinates expected, Hua Xiong doesn't know that our army has a thunderbolt chariot. He might as well wait for the thunderbolt chariot to approach and suddenly launch an attack. Then the army will cover it up and kill him. Then the war will be settled." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Hua Xiong doesn't know how high the sky is and how high he is. He was deceived by Liu Bei's son and still wants to form an alliance with me. It's really ridiculous."

"My lord, Hua Xiong is a famous and fierce general, and he might be able to be used by our army," Cheng Yu said.

"If Hua Xiong understands the overall situation and surrenders to me, it's easy to say, otherwise there will only be defeat." Cao Cao snorted coldly.

Cheng Yu saw this and did not try to persuade him again. Among the counselors in Yanzhou, Cao Cao valued Xi Ce's opinion the most. Now that Xi Ce is dead, no one dares to dissuade Cao Cao at this time. Xun Yu has a high reputation among officials.

Prestige is more often left behind.

When the Pili chariot stopped about one hundred and thirty paces away from the city wall, the defenders on the city stood ready, waiting for Cao Jun to approach. When they saw Cao Jun stopping an arrow away, the defenders looked puzzled.

Hua Xiong stared at Cao Jun outside the city with sharp eyes. He only saw a dozen strange things controlled by soldiers. They actually threw stones weighing twenty kilograms. Looking around, there were at least a hundred of these things outside the city.

, for a time, the entire city was covered with roaring stones.

This was the first time for many defenders to see such a scene. Only the defenders had the power of the boulders. However, they became the targets of the boulders. Moreover, these boulders were extremely powerful. Just looking at them made people's hearts ache.

I was shocked. As for the shield soldiers who tried to resist the boulder, they would only die.

After a round of attacks by the Thunderbolt Chariot, mourners were everywhere on the city wall. The lethality of the Thunderbolt Chariot was not great, but the bloody scene stimulated the hearts of every defender.

"Get away!" Hua Xiong yelled hysterically, but at this time his reminder seemed so weak against the miserable city wall.

Some of the defenders could not bear the pressure from the Thunderbolt vehicles and turned around and headed into the city. Most of them were selected from the refugees. Even after months of training, they would still choose to escape when faced with bloody scenes.

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!" Hua Xiong roared.

The deputy general led a group of troops. Whenever he saw a fleeing soldier, he would attack them with a knife. The bloody suppression made many soldiers who wanted to escape from the city wall gradually lose their desire to escape.

Hua Xiong glanced at the city wall and saw keenly that behind the female wall, it was a place that was difficult for Pili chariots to attack. Many soldiers were hiding behind the female wall and shivering.

"Everyone hide behind the female wall." Hua Xiong ordered.

This was also the first time that Cao Jun used the Pili Chariot. He didn't know much about the flaws of the Pili Chariot. However, seeing huge rocks rising into the sky and hearing the defenders' wails made them feel extremely comfortable. The ladder behind the Pili Chariot

Bing and Jinglan Bing also waited patiently.

The ladder soldiers are the least popular, because when attacking a city, they are the first to go forward and die. The defenders are very sensitive to the initial attack. If they move a little slower, they will be killed by the wood on the city.

However, with the help of the Thunderbolt Chariot, they found that the defenders on the city did not dare to raise their heads at all. In this way, even if they carried the ladder close to the city wall, they would not worry about the rolling stones on the city.

The Jinglan soldiers usually work at high altitudes and compete with the defenders in archery. Their tasks are also relatively dangerous, because the defenders generally do not let such people run rampant. The initial bows and arrows were also directed at them. As for the Jinglan soldiers,

The hanging cowhide often does not play a big role.

With the suppression of the Thunderbolt Chariot, the defenders did not dare to show their heads at all. Cao Cao gave an order and Jinglan slowly moved towards the city wall. The Thunderbolt Chariot was a deterrent, while the archers on the Jinglan were to kill the enemy as much as possible.

Just after all the wells were in position, Cao Jun's war drums became more intensive. The Yunlai soldiers who were waiting in full formation launched a death charge towards the city wall. The archers on the wells also loaded their bows and arrows. This is what Cao Cao learned from the Bingzhou Army.

The fighting method and this kind of attack, in Cao Cao's opinion, are very morale-boosting. After the stormy boulder attack, the defenders must be on tenterhooks. At this time, launching an unexpected attack on the city wall can have a very good effect.

When Hua Xiong heard Cao Jun's drum beat change, and the boulder attack seemed to stop, he shouted: "Get ready to fight, Cao Jun is about to attack the city."
