As the easternmost County of Yanzhou, Taishan County borders Xuzhou, so it has always been heavily guarded. We should know that the Cao army is stationed in Xuzhou. Even the emperor who Cao army supports is in Pengcheng. Naturally, there are a large number of Cao troops.
However, in recent years, it seems that all the major movements in the world come from the south. Cao mengde swallowed the east of the river, and the general entered Sichuan. The north, which was filled with gunpowder, had not experienced a war for a long time.
Several soldiers yawned and stood on the top of the city. Suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder filled the distance, and several veterans suddenly became alert.
"What's going on?"
"A large number of enemy troops, at least more than ten thousand! Tell the general
...
"so many Cao troops?"
Standing on the top of the city, Sun Li could not help opening his mouth when he looked at the overwhelming Cao army outside the city.
There are at least 230000 Cao troops outside the city, but there are only 3000 Taishan soldiers in the city. The gap between the two armies is far more than ten times! If the enemy forces make every effort to attack the city, they will not be able to withstand it for long.
Sun Li's face was very ugly, but at this time, Cao's army outside the city seemed to be divided into two formations, and more than a thousand iron horses rushed out of the battle.
Among the more than 1000 cavalry, there is a strong general with a big waist, holding a big flag with one hand and writing a word of "Cao". The flag fluttered in the wind, and the flagpole was held by him, but it did not move. It can be seen that this general has amazing physical strength.
"Taishan county?"
Cao Cao looked at the city and ordered, "order the whole army to attack the city!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
One side of the Xiahou yuan Lang voice: "prime minister has orders, the whole army attack the city!"
"Attack the city!"
The Cao troops outside the city did not talk nonsense. They directly launched an attack on Taishan county. Tens of thousands of Cao troops had a clear division of labor. Archers were holding bows and arrows under the city, while Cao's soldiers were slowly pressing towards the city's head, surrounded by various weapons.
"Don't panic, we must stick to the city, Puyang General Yu will certainly come to reinforce!"
Although the soldiers around heard Yu Jian's words, there were too many Cao troops outside the city. Therefore, they couldn't help but shiver and clench their weapons.
At this time, the Cao army began to attack the city.
"The catapult comes forward and throws at the head of the city!" Xia Hou yuan waved.
At his command, he saw more than a thousand Cao troops pushing nearly a hundred catapults forward slowly, aiming at the head of the city.
Sun Li could not help but take a cold breath: "Thunderbolt car?"
In the Xiliang army, there is a catapult, which is Liu Ye's reformed thunderbolt car, which has a long range. When Liu Ye went on a long expedition to Bashu, because there were many majestic passes in Sichuan, Liu Ye often used the thunderbolt car to smash the pass. Naturally, the Xiliang army was very familiar with the thunderbolt car.
This thunderbolt car is very ferocious. When it is aimed at the head of the city, there will be a blast. How can the soldiers on the city hold up?
"I didn't expect that Cao Jun was also equipped with thunderbolt vehicles, which caused trouble." Sun Li's face is becoming more and more ugly. Taishan City is just a small city, not a big city like Luoyang and Chang'an. Most of those cities are made of bluestone and are very solid, but Taishan City is not.
"Hit me!"
At the moment of Sun Li's wild thoughts, Cao's army had already launched an attack. After Cao Bing hit a big stone, the catapult was set free at the head of the city.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous huge stones fell from the sky as if they were meteors, with heavy force, and fell on the top of the city, shaking the city head. Unfortunately, a taxi was hit by a huge stone on the spot, and his chest suddenly sank in and vomited blood.
"Hide behind the wall, quick!" Sun Li quickly drank a big drink. He quickly grabbed a soldier. A big stone narrowly passed by him. It hit the city head hard and splashed the gravel.
The soldier who was nearly crushed to death swallowed his saliva and said thanks: "thank you, Captain!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Sun Li grabbed him and retreated all the way to the back of the women's wall and hid. He didn't dare to look up. One boulder after another was thrown out of the catapult and fell down on the top of the city. Countless boulders collided and rubbed with each other. The rubble flew around like shrapnel. These guards did not dare to look up.
"Hateful, hateful!" Sun Li scolded secretly in his heart and did not dare to look up.
Seeing that the Xiliang army was hit by the boulder attack, Cao Cao and Cao Ying generals outside the city couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha ha, this thunderbolt car is really easy to use, and the Xiliang army can't lift its head."
"Let the Xiliang army have a taste of the thunderbolt."
There is no airtight wall in the world. Liu Ye uses the thunderbolt car to attack the city and occupy the land. People all over the world have heard of it. After hearing about it, Cao Cao was very interested in the thunderbolt cars that could smash huge stones, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and elaborate works, and finally got a thunderbolt car. Then he ordered the craftsmen in Xuzhou to study it and finally copied a large number of thunderbolt cars.
The city was crumbling under the heavy stones, and all the generals of Cao camp laughed."Well, stop it. Miaocai will lead a large army to kill it and let the enemy see how powerful our army is!" Cao Cao ordered.
"Don't worry, prime minister," Xia Hou Yuan said
"Everybody, follow me and take Mount Tai!"
Xia Houyuan raised his arms and exclaimed, and more than ten thousand Cao troops immediately echoed. Then he followed Xia Houyuan and launched a fierce attack on Taishan City.
Outside the city, like a meteorite falling, just stopped, Cao Jun's cry to kill was heard immediately.
"Kill!"
Numerous Cao troops rushed forward, one after another arranged under the city wall. Cao's army stepped on the ladder to kill them, and the morale was greatly improved.
It is not easy for the enemy to take the city after the wall is smashed by a huge stone?
"The enemy has attacked the city, all come out to me, quick!"
Hearing this voice, Sun Li was in a hurry and cried out in a hurry. The soldiers of Mount Tai behind the women's wall rushed out and fought with Cao Jun in the same place.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the city, Cao's archers constantly set up their bows and arrows. Tens of millions of arrows flew to the top of the city and fell down. It was as if it was raining. The soldiers of Mount Tai who had just burst out of the women's wall were forced to go back.
"Hateful, take up the shield and rush out for me!" Sun Li said angrily.
The number of Cao's army is too many. There are 5000 archers alone, which is more than the garrison in the city. Archery is really like rain, which immediately suppresses the garrison at the head of the city.
Sun Li yelled and drank. The guards, helpless, raised their shields and rushed out against the rain of arrows. From time to time, some soldiers of Mount Tai fell to the ground, and the arrows hit the shield like rain, making a "puff" sound.
"Kill!" Xia Hou yuan jumped to the top of the city and yelled loudly.
