Chapter 654: Cao Jun alarmed

The Western Liang army's methods of cursing were also trained. Not to mention Xiahou Dun, even if a person with a good heart is cursed like this, he will have smoke from his orifices.

"Sir, let me go out of the city to fight them." Xiahou Dun's teeth creaked.

"General, no, have you forgotten what we discussed before?" said the adviser: "The Xiliang Army is cunning. The previous battle seems to be open and unrestrained. There are probably many soldiers lying in the ambush in the dark. The elite cavalry can react at any time."

This time when fighting with Cao's army, all the cavalry of Xiliang Army felt unprecedented joy. Yes, the enemy was a snail that made them eloquently practiced.

With the arrival of Huang Zhong's army, the stalemate on the battlefield was disintegrated. Huang Zhong's army not only brought food and grass, but also siege equipment, well-made thunderbolt chariots, shocking well railings and heavy infantry that were terrified by the enemy.

The order issued by Jia Rong was very simple. He captured Hanoi with thunder, which made Cao Cao feel fear and the determination of the Western Liang army, thereby strengthening the defense of the East County and preparing for the army to secretly capture Yuzhou.

"Let the soldiers of the three armies be prepared and attack the county city tomorrow. Be sure to fight down and win the reputation of the Western Liang army." Huang Zhong sat upright in the central army's tent and said lightly.

Huang Zhong had enough confidence to break through the county city in one battle. As for the strict defense in the city, it was useless in Huang Zhong's opinion. Before coming, Jia Rong gave Huang Zhong ten secret weapons developed by the craftsman workshop, with the purpose of causing the Cao army to be frightened and uneasy.

The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. The defenders on the city were already ready, with swords and guns standing in front of them, bows and arrows on their backs, and their eyes were brightly watched the army outside the city, welcoming the first siege of the Xiliang army.

"The whole army is on guard, and all consumed items such as the wood and huge rocks, arrows and other consumption items are ready to be done and a heavy blow to the Xiliang army." Xiahou Dun shouted loudly. All the wood and huge rocks should be in place, with the purpose of letting the Xiliang army feel the fierce defensive posture of the Cao army and the disintegration of the Xiliang army.

The rumbling sound of war drums sounded, and with Huang Zhong's order, the thunderbolt chariot slowly stepped forward. When three hundred steps away from the city wall, the thunderbolt chariot stopped and crossbow arrows flew to the city. When the defenders on the city saw such a weapon, they couldn't help but shrink their heads.

The blocking of cowhide has caused the crossbow arrow to a certain extent, but the effect is not very large. The powerful crossbow arrow can even directly shoot the cowhide through.

After approaching the city wall, the thunder chariot also began to show off its power. One stone as big as a basin was thrown towards the city wall, causing screams from the city.

Huang Zhong's eyes did not focus on these siege equipment being extremely powerful, but were gathered on the ten soldiers in black clothes, who were wearing black clothes, and these ten soldiers were the real main force of the siege. The three secret weapons in their hands were enough to completely blow up the city gate.

Seeing the ten soldiers heading towards the city gate without hesitation, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. The city gate was destroyed, and these ten soldiers would die. These are the dead soldiers in the army. For victory, they were willing to sacrifice themselves. Even though they knew that there was a dead end ahead, they still had no fear.

The things behind them have been arranged long ago, and even names have been engraved on the Hero Monument. These people have all the honors a soldier can get. This is also the reason why many soldiers are willing to die resolutely for the victory of the army. They have their own beliefs.

"Heavy cavalry preparations." Huang Zhong said coldly.

Five hundred heavy cavalry slowly stepped forward and appeared in front of the army. At the same time, all the soldiers' hearts tensed.

Heavy cavalry is the strongest person on the battlefield. No matter how bloody a heavy cavalry can bring, even if it is an infantry, it will retreat when it sees it. Unless the speed of the light cavalry exceeds the heavy infantry, once it gets closer, it can only wait for death. Moreover, the heavy infantry even has armored war horses.

"General, did the Xiliang Army dispatch heavy cavalry?" The strategist asked. Although the big rocks were thrown onto the city wall, the strategist still insisted on observing the situation on the battlefield.

"Hmph, heavy cavalry? Could it be that the Xiliang Army wants to come to shoot arrows at a city? Don't forget that our army also has thunder chariots. Once the soldiers of the siege approach, they will start firing immediately, so that the Xiliang Army can also see the power of our army." Xiahou Dun said gritting his teeth.

Anyone who sees such casualties will be furious. Before the enemy is seen, the defending city will be suppressed and unable to raise his head. In such a battle, any general will feel very aggrieved.

Ten light-armored soldiers approached the city gate and quickly danced the tools in their hands. The solid ground quickly became bumpy. All the tools in their hands were made of fine steel. Not to mention cutting iron like mud, they were also extremely sharp.

The siege lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and Xiahou Dun felt the city wall under his feet tremble constantly. One of his feet was not stable and almost fell. The defenders on the city were even more tilted, and there was no formation.

His ears were buzzing and his mind was dizzy. Xiahou Dun looked around inexplicably, and then several soldiers hurriedly carried him away.

Not to mention the defenders on the city, even the siege was shocked. This time the secret weapon was even more powerful, which was also the result of the joint efforts of craftsmen in the craftsmen. As the organizer, Pu Yuan made outstanding contributions, otherwise he would not have received a huge reward after the founding of the country.

The moment the city gate exploded, the cavalry, who had already been ready to go, rushed towards the direction of the city gate, and fled the Cao army who had not reacted. The four city gates were quickly occupied, proclaiming the fall of Hanoi County. All the food, grass and supplies in the city belonged to the Xiliang Army.

In the first battle, the Hanoi County captured more than 10,000 Cao's army, which was a complete victory. Huang Zhong sent a quick horse to win the victory in Luoyang, and commanded the soldiers to continue to advance forward. Cao's army arranged heavy troops in various counties to one day when the Western Liang army set off. Unexpectedly, the Hanoi County, which was heavily guarded, was first captured, and the defenders were killed and injured.

When two thousand troops were launched to attack Wudejuan County, the county magistrate and garrison in the city were shocked by the speed of the attack by the Xiliang army and directly opened the city gate to surrender.

When Cao Cao learned about the situation in Henei County, the Xiliang army had attacked Yuanwu. As long as he occupied Yuanwu, he could send troops to the East County of Yanzhou.

Before becoming the governor of Yanzhou, Cao Cao was the prefect of Dongjun and had a great reputation in Dongjun. In addition, he governed the local area and was impartial. Officials violated the law and committed the same crimes as the common people, which won a lot of people's hearts. Dongjun's defense can also be ranked second in Yanzhou.

The city walls and wide moats were only more than three meters high, which made the enemy scared and there was no question of attack. However, all this was not a big problem for the Xiliang army. The heavily guarded Hanoi County was defeated by a battle, and the solid defense of the Dongjun made people dare not believe it.

"I didn't expect that the Xiliang army had already taken down Hanoi County and was attacking Yuanwu now. General Xiahou was struggling to support Yuanwu. What are your good plans?" Cao Cao's tone was plain, and there were already storms in his heart. How fast was this? It was like advancing all the way. Cao Cao knew very well that there were more than 30,000 defenders alone, and among them, there were more than 10,000 defenders in the county city. Even if the Xiliang army sent 100,000 troops, it would not be able to be captured overnight.

"Lord, the Dongjun city has high walls and a wide moat. Now the plan is to think about how to resist the huge attack weapon of the Xiliang Army." A wise light flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes.

"That's right, it is said that the weapon of the Xiliang Army can directly open the city gate, and the city walls are shocked. The soldiers on it have not stood firmly, and the cavalry have already attacked the city. If the weapon of the Xiliang Army is difficult to think of corresponding solutions, Yanzhou will be in danger." Mao Jie echoed.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, "Don't I know about this matter, nor do I know who the Xiliang Army has helped me, and I actually have this weapon."

"Lord, the Xiliang army captured Henoi because its weapons were superior to others, and the key breakthrough point was the city gate. Why not order soldiers to completely block the city gate? I don't believe that the Xiliang army can directly destroy the city wall." Cheng Yu said slowly.

"This plan is very wonderful. I will immediately pass an order to Cao Zhen and Liu Ye to completely block the city gate to prevent the Xiliang army from siegeing the city." Cao Cao ordered.

"Lord, what should I do if General Xiahou, who is Yuanwu resisting the Xiliang Army?"

"Let him return to Jiyin."

In the original martial arts city, Xiahou Dun was struggling to support it. The Xiliang Army did not use the weapons that could make the city wall tremble violently. The city gate lost its offensive was still not something that Yuanwu could resist. The original martial arts city wall was low, and there were only more than 3,000 defenders in the city. It was already reaching the limit to be able to withstand the three-day attack.

If you don't fight with the Xiliang army, you will never understand how afraid they are. You will all have good weapons and your morale is like a rainbow. Until the central army sounds the sound of gold, you will never withdraw and orders are prohibited. Such a team is definitely a nightmare for all enemies.

Before seeing the Western Liang Army, Xiahou Dun always believed that the Western Liang Army was at most equal to the Cao Army, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was inconsistent. After all, in recent years, the Cao army fought in the Central Plains in the east and west, and attacked them, which gave the soldiers under him sufficient confidence and destroyed the will of all enemies. However, in front of the Western Liang Army, this confidence was gradually disintegrated.

"General, more than 500 soldiers were sacrificed yesterday, and countless injured people were injured. In less than a day, Yuan Wu would be lost." A general walked quickly to Xiahou Dun, and the general's losses were told. After three days of battle, any soldiers in the army were in awe of Xiahou Dun. Such a person would be like a madman when facing battle, and he ignored the injuries on his body. In the past three days, Xiahou Dun had more than ten injuries on his body. Although it was not serious, it still gave people a shocking feeling.
