Chapter 886 Blitz Taishan County

As the easternmost county of Yanzhou, Taishan County borders Xuzhou, so it has always been heavily guarded. You must know that Cao's army is stationed in Xuzhou, and even the emperor supported by Cao's army is in Pengcheng, so naturally a large number of Cao's troops are stationed.

However, in recent years, all the big news in the world seems to come from the south. Cao Mengde swallowed up Jiangdong, the general entered Shu, and the smoke-filled north has not experienced war for a long time.

A few soldiers yawned and stood on top of the city. Suddenly, smoke filled the air in the distance, and the veterans suddenly became alert.

"what happened?"

"A large number of enemy troops, at least more than ten thousand people! Inform the general quickly!"

"So many Cao troops?"

Sun Li stood on top of the city, looking at the overwhelming Cao army outside the city, and couldn't help but open his mouth.

There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 Cao troops outside the city, but there were only 3,000 Taishan soldiers in the city. The difference in strength between the two armies was far more than ten times! If the enemy forces attack the city with all their strength, they may not be able to withstand it for long.

Sun Li's face looked ugly, and at this moment, Cao's army outside the city was divided into two formations as if it were splitting into waves. More than a thousand cavalry surrounded one man and rushed out of the formation.

Among the more than a thousand cavalry, there was a strong general with broad shoulders and a round waist, holding a large banner with one hand and writing the word "Cao" on it. The flag fluttered in the wind, but the flagpole remained motionless in his hand, which showed that this general had amazing physical strength.

"Taishan County?"

Cao Cao looked at the city and ordered: "Send the whole army to attack the city!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xia Houyuan on the side said loudly: "The Prime Minister has an order, the whole army attacks the city!"

"Siege the city!"

The Cao army outside the city did not waste any time and directly launched an attack on Taishan County. The tens of thousands of Cao's troops were clearly divided into divisions of labor. The archers were holding bows and arrows and were arrayed under the city, while the Cao army's infantry were surrounded by various siege weapons. Slowly pressing towards the city head.

"Don't panic, we must hold on to the city. General Yu from Puyang will definitely come for reinforcements!"

Although the surrounding soldiers heard Yu Jin's words, the number of Cao's troops outside the city was too great, so they couldn't help but shudder and tightened their weapons.

At this time, Cao Jun began to attack the city.

"Come forward with the catapult and throw it at the city head!" Xia Houyuan waved.

He gave the order, and saw more than a thousand Cao's troops pushing nearly a hundred catapults slowly forward, aiming at the city head.

Sun Li couldn't help but gasped when he saw this: "Thunderbolt car?"

There are catapults in the Xiliang Army, which are Liu Ye's modified Thunderbolt Chariots, which have a long range. When Liu Ye went on an expedition to Bashu, because there were many passes in Shu, Liu Ye often used the Thunderbolt Chariot to bombard the passes. The Xiliang Army Zhong is naturally very familiar with this Thunderbolt car.

This Thunderbolt Chariot was very ferocious. It aimed at the top of the city and unleashed a violent bombardment. How could the soldiers on the top of the city hold up?

"I didn't expect that Cao Jun was also equipped with thunder chariots. Now we are in trouble." Sun Li's face became increasingly uglier. Taishan City was just a small city, not a big city like Luoyang or Chang'an. Most of those cities were made of bluestone. It is very strong, but not Taishan City.

"Smash it for me!"

At the moment when Sun Li was thinking wildly, Cao Jun had already launched an attack. After the catapult was hit by a big stone, Cao soldiers aimed at the city and released it.

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless boulders fell from the sky like meteors, carrying heavy force and falling hard on the city head, making the city tremble. Some soldiers were unlucky and were hit by huge rocks on the spot. Their chests were suddenly sunken and they vomited blood.

"Hurry up and hide behind the parapet, hurry up!" Sun Li shouted hurriedly and grabbed a soldier with quick eyes and hands. A big stone missed him and hit the city hard. Above his head, there was a splash of gravel.

The soldier who was almost beaten to death swallowed his saliva and thanked him: "Thank you Captain!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Sun Li grabbed him and retreated all the way behind the female wall, hiding, not daring to raise his head at all. I saw huge boulders being thrown out from the catapults one after another and falling hard on the top of the city. Countless boulders collided and rubbed against each other, and the rubble was flying around like shrapnel. These defenders simply Don't dare to look up.

"Damn it, it's so abominable!" Sun Li cursed in his heart, not daring to raise his head.

Seeing that the Xiliang army was unable to lift its head after being hit by the huge boulder attack, Cao Cao and the generals in Cao's camp outside the city couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, this Thunderbolt Car is really easy to use. It smashed the Xiliang Army so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up."

"Let the Xiliang army have a taste of the thunderbolt chariot."

There is no airtight wall in the world. Liu Ye used thunderbolt chariots to conquer cities and territories everywhere, and everyone in the world heard about it. After Cao Cao heard about it, he was very interested in the thunderbolt cart that could throw boulders. Therefore, he spent a lot of money and many craftsmen to finally get a thunderbolt cart. He then ordered the craftsmen in Xuzhou to study it and finally copied a large number of thunderbolt carts. car.

The city seemed to be crumbling under the impact of huge rocks, and all the generals in Cao's camp laughed.

"Okay, stop it. Miaocai will lead his army to attack and show the enemy how powerful our army is!" Cao Cao ordered.

Xia Houyuan cupped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry."

"Everyone, follow me and take Taishan City!"

Xiahou Yuan raised his arms and shouted, and more than ten thousand Cao troops immediately responded, and then followed Xia Houyuan and launched a fierce attack on Taishan City.

The overwhelming boulders outside the city, which looked like falling meteorites, had just stopped when Cao Jun's shouts of killing were heard.

"Kill!"

Countless Cao soldiers rushed forward, and ladders were placed under the city wall. Cao Jun stepped on the ladders with hands and feet and rushed upward, boosting their morale.

The enemy army was hit by huge rocks and huddled behind the female wall. Isn't it easy to capture this city?

"The enemy is attacking the city, come out, quickly!"

Hearing this voice, Sun Li suddenly became anxious and shouted quickly. The Taishan soldiers behind the female wall rushed out and fought with Cao Jun.

Whoosh whoosh!

The archers of Cao's army below the city kept firing their bows and arrows. Tens of millions of arrows flew to the top of the city and landed, as if it was really raining. The Taishan soldiers who had just rushed out of the female wall were suddenly forced again. go back.

"Damn it, pick up the shield and rush out!" Sun Li said angrily.

The number of Cao's troops was too great. There were as many as 5,000 archers alone, more than the defenders in the city. Archery was really like rain, and they immediately suppressed the defenders at the top of the city. .

Sun Li shouted loudly, and the defenders had no choice but to raise their shields and rush out to face the rain of arrows. From time to time, Taishan soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Arrows hit the shields like rain, making a "Puff" sound. .

"Kill!" Xia Houyuan jumped up to the top of the city and shouted loudly.
