Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 364
Xue Rengui's attack did not stop for a day, and the city of Liyang was already in great pain, and the walls were covered with mud.If you are not careful, you will fall to the ground.

And Xue Rengui didn't just throw it into the city, but also wanted to throw it under the city.After more than ten days, mounds as high as three feet high have been piled up under the city.

Lu Meng organized Jing Lan to cover outside the city to prevent Cao Jun from climbing up the city wall. Wei Yan carried the soil in a basket and kept piling up the soil.

After Cao Ren learned about it, he immediately led his troops to the city wall to block them, but the enemy's bows and crossbows outside the city were strong, so Cao Ren could only lead his men to evade and fight back.But above the mound, Zhang Yijun had already used wooden boards as shields to cover his back.

This is a pile of soil armor made by craftsmen in the workshop.One end of two long wooden sticks is supported by a plank, the other end is tied to a stone, and placed on the mound of soil, it can guard against arrows without using people at all.

In Liyang City, Cao Ren didn't have much to do about this.Those wooden planks were erected outside the city, beyond the reach of the city with a fork.

Cao Ren approached Cao Xiu and said, "The enemy's planks are too much of a hindrance, so we must destroy them."

"I'll go get someone to prepare the rocket," Cao Xiu said.

"Be quick!" Cao Ren urged.

Cao Xiu nodded immediately, and in less than an hour he had the rocket ready and the oil cans ready.After getting ready, Cao Xiu climbed up the city wall, led his men to throw the oil pipe on the wooden board, and then shot it up with a rocket.The plank immediately burst into flames.

Wei Yan saw the wooden planks being set ablaze, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, pour more soil on it while the flames block the view of the city.

Even if there is oil, burning wood boards is not a short-term thing, and it will take a quarter of an hour anyway.Moreover, during the burning period, thick smoke rose, and it became unclear from the inside of the city to the outside of the city.Taking advantage of this time, Wei Yan brought up another foot of soil with him.

When the flames were almost done, Wei Yan led his people to transport the earth armor again, and lifted the previous earth armor directly to the bottom of the city to use the waste.As soon as the new earth armor was put on, Cao Xiu set it on fire again.Wei Yanyou took advantage of this time to pile up a foot of soil.

In this way, the pile was piled up foot by foot, and within ten days, the mound was piled up to the edge of the city wall.

Xue Rengui knew it was time to launch an attack, so he let Wei Yan and Ma Chao take the vanguard and pounce on the mound with a wooden ladder.Wei Yan and Ma Chao led the army up first, and after laying the planks, they rushed up to the city wall with shields and knives.

Cao Ren, Guo Huai, Cao Xiu and others had already led their soldiers to wait on the city wall. They had completed their military formation and were waiting to attack the city.

Lü Meng commanded the well fence and ballista, and after seeing the gathering of the city wall, he immediately ordered to shoot at the city.

Lu Meng was beating the drum himself as a trumpet. As soon as the intensive drum sounded, Wei Yan and Ma Chao, who were attacking the city, immediately led their men to squat down on the spot, and then raised their shields above their heads to prevent accidental injury.

Cao Ren and Cao Xiu were preparing to roll logs and rocks down the mound of earth.They had smashed a lot before, but the mound was not solid and the slope was not enough. The rolling logs and stones did not go far before they got stuck in the mound.So they were preparing to hit the enemy after they got closer, but suddenly the enemy drums sounded and all the attackers squatted down?
A bad feeling flashed through Cao Ren's heart, and just as he was about to shout out, he saw countless arrows flying towards him. "Dodge the arrow!"

Regardless of Cao Ren's size, the soldiers also saw the arrows, and subconsciously began to hide.But there were too many soldiers in the city, and many soldiers were still shot by arrows.

After three rounds of arrow shooting, Wei Yan and Ma Chao stood up and rushed to the top of the city.This was an agreement before, the cover only shoots three rounds of arrows, and the rest is up to them.But three rounds of arrows were enough, Wei Yan and Ma Chao threw the wooden ladder behind them forward, stepped on it and went straight to the city wall.There were many rolling logs and stones beside the city wall. The two stepped on the rolling logs and stones, crossed the parapet and rushed up to the city wall.

"Kill!" Seeing Cao Bing, Ma Chao immediately became ruthless, chopped down one with one knife, and kicked one into the air, successfully standing firm on the city wall.But he didn't have the idea of ​​sticking to it, but went straight to the surroundings. He was never a defensive person.

"Ma Mengqi is here!" Ma Chao shouted loudly: "Cao Ren hasten to die!"

Ma Chao shouted loudly, which attracted the attention of most Cao soldiers, and many Cao soldiers rushed towards him, wanting to kill him.Although Ma Chao is well-known, that was seven or eight years ago. Now Ma Chao's reputation is gone, and it is not as famous as Xue Rengui and others.Cao Bing was not afraid of him, but wanted to kill him for meritorious service.

A lot of people gathered around, and Ma Chao was also a little bit overwhelmed.

Fortunately, at this time, Wei Yan had gathered more than a dozen soldiers, and rushed to help Ma Chao repel the enemy soldiers and rescued him.

Ma Chao was rescued, took a short rest, and then said to Wei Yan: "You come to occupy the city wall, and I will kill the enemy general."

Wei Yan nodded, and distributed some of the soldiers to Ma Chao.Ma Chao jumped onto the female wall, glanced around, and saw Cao Xiu heading towards him at a glance.Ma Chao knew Cao Xiu, and he still remembered everyone with the surname Cao.Jumping off the parapet, Ma Chao led his men and killed them.

Cao Xiu also found Ma Chao and immediately ordered his soldiers to strangle him.He has also fought many battles with Zhang Yijun, so he naturally knows Zhang Yijun's characteristics.He did not fight Ma Chao in close combat, but attacked from a distance with his spear.

What Ma Chao was most afraid of were spears. He led the cavalry. If he didn't have some skills in dealing with spears, he would have died countless times.The ring head knife holder in Ma Chao's hand jumped under the spear, and then took the opportunity to get under the spear with the shield. Ma Chao rushed to the vicinity of the spearmen, and the ring head knife continued to slash, breaking the spear array.

Cao Xiu didn't expect Ma Chao to rush over like this, he hurried up to meet him, and looked at Ma Chao with his sword around his head.Ma Chao used his shield to deflect Huan Shou Dao, and pierced Cao Xiu's abdomen.

Cao Xiu lost all his strength and fell to the ground. He didn't expect that he would die like this.

Ma Chao chopped off Cao Xiu's head, threw it into the city, and shouted, "Cao Ren, come and die!"

The death of Cao Xiu caused changes on the city wall. When Cao Bing saw Ma Chao's bravery, he suddenly woke up. This is Ma Chao!Ma Chao who used to be in Zonghengguan!

The morale of the defenders plummeted, and some even started to flee.Wei Yan successfully occupied the city wall, and then launched an attack into the city.The crossbowmen climbed up the city wall one after another, condescendingly attacking Cao Bing.Cao Bing lost the city wall and seemed to be no match for Zhang Yijun at all. Cao Ren had no choice but to withdraw from Liyang and retreat north to Neihuang.
