Chapter 144
The soldier of the Cao army, holding his shield with one hand and grabbing the cloud ladder with the other, quickly climbed up.
The Han army at the head of the city, under the command of Zhang Nan and Cui Zhouping, kept firing arrows and throwing rolling wood thunder stones.
The arrow tower pushed closer and closer, and the Cao army crossbowmen above kept shooting the Han army at the head of the city.
The soldiers of the Cao army on the ladder and the soldiers of the Han army at the head of the city fell one after another, and the dead bodies were piled together, regardless of each other.
However, there were fewer and fewer defenders at the head of the city, while there were more and more Cao troops on the ladder.
The thunderbolts all stopped, and the shouts were louder than the whistling.
"Gold juice, quick, pour gold juice!" Zhang Nan shouted.
Using a wooden frame, the four soldiers lifted the scalding gold juice and moved it to the outside of the battlements of the city wall.
A dense burst of arrows came, and the four soldiers and several shieldmen next to them were shot almost at the same time, and the golden juice fell together with the big ding.
"Ah..." The soldier Cao screamed, and rolled all over the ground after falling to the ground! The hands grabbed their bodies, or their heads and faces, and the cries were extremely miserable.
Cao Xiu, who was supervising the battle behind, couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he knew that now it was the most critical moment, and it depended on who could hold on.
"Second team, on!"
More than 2,000 siege soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, set up the ladder at the head of the city, and quickly climbed up.
The soldiers of the Cao army, who were carrying the wood, finally arrived at the city gate and began to hit the city gate.
But immediately countless rolling wood thunder stones fell, and many people turned into meatloaf.
Dense arrows shot at the head of the city, and the Han army fell again.
The 1,000 soldiers at the head of the city had already been killed and wounded by more than half at this time, and the morale of the second team of the Cao army that attacked the city was high, and they went up the ladder densely, and they were about to rush to the head of the city.
"Team two, Uptown!" Zhang Nan shouted.
"Kill!" These thousand soldiers, hearing the great battle in the city, have long been full of fighting spirit. Finally waiting for the order, one by one rushed to the head of the city.
At this time, the soldiers of the Cao army had climbed to the head of the city, and the crossbowmen had stopped firing arrows.
"Kill!" Above the head of the city, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Xu Huang and Cao Xiu saw hundreds of soldiers rushing to the head of the city, and their faces finally showed a relaxed expression.
However, the next moment, it immediately became very dignified.
I saw that these soldiers who rushed up were quickly killed. Even those centurions, in front of the soldiers of the Han army, could not block three rounds!
"How so?"
Cao Xiu wondered, Xu Huang was even more puzzled.
When did the Han army's combat power become so strong?
"That's not right!" Xu Huang quickly discovered the clue. It is not that the Han army has strong combat power, but that the weapons are powerful!
The knives and guns of their soldiers were broken in two after being collided once or twice by the opponent's weapons. Even those thick big knives can't block the three-in-one and will break.
The soldiers of the Cao army were still rushing towards the city one after another, but after rushing up, they couldn't take advantage of it at all.
"General, collect the troops!" Liu Ye looked at the situation in front of him and said to Xu Huang, "We need to think of a perfect solution. "
Order, Ming Jin to collect the troops!" Xu Huang also knew that the city was hopeless today, and he had no choice but to order.
"Ding..." A sound of gold sounded, and Cao Jun retreated back like the tide of the sea.
"Cao Jun has retreated!"
"We have won!"
The soldiers at the head of the city all shouted excitedly, but then many people were so tired that they sat on the city tower where the corpses were located.
Zhang Nan and Cui Zhouping did not dare to have the slightest ease, and hurriedly cleared the city, treated the wounded, buried the corpses, and prepared for a more brutal siege.
In Runan, in a valley about sixty miles outside Shangcai City, Liu Jun, Liu Hu, and Fa Zheng were camping with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
This valley is the remnants of Flying Tiger Mountain. After five days, they finally crossed the Flying Tiger Mountain and entered Runan.
During the day, Deng Ai and his three hundred guards, disguised as foreign merchants, entered Shangcai City, and the rest of the army prepared to make a surprise attack at night, and take the city together.
"Master, Shizai sent someone to send a letter!" Fa Zheng came to Liu Jun's handsome account with a piece of information.
"Bring it quickly!" When Liu Qi heard this, he was very excited. He had been counting the time and waiting for news from Deng Ai.
Fa Zheng handed the information to Liu Zheng, who gave it to Fa Zheng after reading it.
"Hyo Nao, take a look."
Fa Zheng looked at it carefully.
"It's really God help the lord!" Fa Zheng was very excited, "There are only five hundred soldiers in Shangcai, and the three hundred guards of Shangcai have been placed by Skynet, and they can take Shangcai without bloodshed tonight."
"Filial piety, Shangcai is easy to take, but the next step must be cautious." Liu Jian was not so happy, "Ru Nan Taishou is Tian Yu, this is not simple!"
"Lord don't worry, although Tian Yu is wise and brave, but Runan's troops are too small, and we are surprisingly surprised, it will definitely make him mess up the corner, let us lead the nose!" Fa Zheng seems confident.
"Okay, now that it's dark, immediately pull up the camp, and the three more rush to the outside of Xiacai City!"
"No!"
In less than half an hour, the army quietly left the valley and came to the official road.
Liu Wei sent a dozen sentries and gave them an explanation, if the development of the Cao army scouts were lost, they would be directly eliminated, and if there were more people, they would return immediately to report.
The journey was very smooth, without any trouble, and arrived outside Shangcai City on time.
"Ignite, signal!"
Immediately, the soldiers lit three torches and waved them twice.
A torch was also lit above the head of the city, and it was also waved twice.
Liu Wei waved the long sword in his hand, and the soldiers immediately rushed to the city gate.
With a "creak", the city gates opened.
"Master, hurry up and enter the city!" Deng Ai was greeted at the city gate.
"Into town!" With Liu Jun's order, the army entered the city.
Liu Jun left behind a thousand soldiers and horses, led by a thousand soldiers, to control the city gates and towers.
"Deng Ai, you immediately lead three thousand soldiers and occupy the remaining three city gates, and you can't let any of them leave Shangcai."
"No!" Deng Ai immediately led his army to the other three city gates.
Liu Jun led the remaining 1,000 soldiers, together with Fa Zheng and his personal commander Liu Hu, and rushed to the county commandery.
Outside the county commandery, there was a military camp with two hundred soldiers stationed, and when the Han army suddenly appeared, they did not react and became prisoners in confusion.
The door of the county commandery was quickly knocked open, and there were still three hundred soldiers inside, but except for some patrolling soldiers, the rest were basically in dreams. There had been no war here for many years, how could they have thought that the Han army suddenly appeared in the city? Coupled with these county soldiers and government soldiers, there was not much combat power, so there was no resistance.
The county commander and other officials were still confused when they were caught in front of Liu Jun. When he learned that the person in front of him was Jingzhou Mu Liu Jun, he kept pinching his thighs. The intense pain made them understand that this was not a dream.
At dawn, everything in the city returned to order. The county order office is still the same, but the original officials have become puppets. The gate of the city is still the same, but the soldiers defending the city have become Han troops.
The people in the city did not find any clues, but although the four gates were wide open, they could only enter and not exit. Cai, an important land in Yuzhou, was unknowingly occupied by the Han army.
