Cao Shuo's Tiger Guards watched the opponent attack the city so frantically, not only did not fear, but a little excited, it was the first time for their Tiger Guards to participate in the defense of the city.

Although there are only more than 7000 people in the city, among them there are 520 soldiers in his headquarters, and the rest are all soldiers, so they are not reliable at all.

"Ju Shou, Liu Ye, you two lead the soldiers and block all the three city gates, east, west and north, leaving me as the gate, ready to rush out of the city at any time!"

"promise!"

Gongsundu's army didn't have many siege equipment, most of them were in the camp of Wen County, and all he brought were portable ladders.

Gongsundu's soldiers did not expect that they would easily attack the city wall. However, after these soldiers rushed to the city wall, they were greeted by the extremely sharp Mo Dao.

Gongsundu's archers did too little damage to the Tiger Guards. Unless they hit the throat directly, they couldn't do any damage at all.

An hour passed, and Gongsun Du looked at the soldiers on the city wall, waiting to climb up, with a depressed expression on his face.

"Damn it, you can't take down the top of the city wall after climbing up the city wall, you're a bunch of trash!"

Several lieutenants came to Gongsun Du's big tent, and said worriedly: "My lord, the loss of our army is too serious. In just one hour, we lost 4000 people."

"How about the casualties of Cao Shuo's soldiers?"

"I don't know!"

They still have no soldiers who have been able to walk down the city wall alive, let alone see the casualties of the soldiers inside.

Guan Ning asked suspiciously: "My lord, there seem to be a lot of defense equipment in the city, why didn't the other party use them?"

Gongsun Du looked puzzled, and he was also very surprised why the opponent didn't use defense equipment.

Wang Huan said: "My lord, the opponent's weapons are extremely sharp and their armor is extremely hard. Maybe they want to take advantage of their equipment and fight our army in close combat!"

"Humph!"

"Melee?"

Gongsun Du looked disdainful, so let them all die of exhaustion, "Notify the gates of the city to set up all the ladders, since the opponent wants to fight melee, I want to see how powerful Cao Shuo's soldiers are. "

Ju Shou said with a relaxed face: "Your Majesty, the other party has sent more ladders!"

Cao Shuo sent people to look at the ladders above the city wall, and there were one every two meters, and in some places there were even several placed next to each other.

"It seems that all the property in the family has been used, so we don't need to hide it. Prepare all the stones and wood, and use up all the kerosene at once."

"Boom boom boom!"

After three drum beats, Gongsun Du's army began to attack the city desperately again.

"Wait until the opponent climbs the wall, then attack!"

Cao Shuo felt that this was almost done, and shouted: "Kill!"

The scalding hot oil poured down directly, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves spread throughout the battlefield.

"what……"

"It's hot, it's burning me to death."

"Quick, jump into the moat."

Seeing this situation, Gongsun Du, who was in charge of the battle, twitched in his heart. How could this abominable Cao Shuo endure for such a long time? After he had used up all the ladders, he was willing to use up the supplies for the defense of the city.

"set fire!"

Puff puff!
Countless rockets shot down, and the kerosene was directly ignited, and a raging fire ignited directly among the dense crowd.

"Quick, go back!"

"Fire arrows!"

This round of siege ended very quickly. In less than half an hour, Gongsun Du left more than 8000 corpses and ordered the soldiers to withdraw.

Looking at the burning ladder on the city wall, Gongsun Du's heart was bleeding. The ladder was gone, and if he wanted to attack the city again, he had to make it again.

"Wang Huan, you lead [-] soldiers to cut down trees and make ladders. Deputy General Yan, you quickly go to the camp in Wen County to mobilize siege equipment. Gonger, you lead [-] soldiers to make some chariots and prepare to storm the city gate! "

The city wall was not easy to capture, so we had to attack the city gate.

"My lord, the four gates of An City, except for the south gate, the other three gates have been blocked and cannot be entered."

Gongsun Du was dizzy for a while, this hateful Cao Shuo was so ruthless.

The army outside the city tried every means and stormed the city for two days, but they still failed to take down the city wall.

In the early morning of the third day, all the siege equipment brought by Gongsun Du from Wenxian County was brought over, such as ladders, rams, and simple catapults.

Cao Shuo looked at these siege equipment and couldn't help frowning. Catapults were the most troublesome thing. They could hurt his Tiger Guards, so it was very troublesome to deal with them.

In the two days of defending the city, the Tiger Guards had already lost more than 700 people. Compared to him, his losses were already very small, but these were all elites.

Liu Ye said anxiously: "Your Majesty, why don't we break out of the encirclement, because Ju Yi and Zhou Tai who attacked Xiangping have already captured Xiangping."

The reason why they fought Gongsundu's army here was mainly because they wanted to buy enough time for the army that attacked Gongsundu's lair.

Knowing that he was here, Gongsundu transferred most of the defenders from Xinchang and Xiangping, adhering to the idea of ​​capturing the thief first and capturing the king. As long as Cao Shuo can be caught, all unfavorable situations will be resolved.

Ju Shou also said worriedly: "No less than 15 troops have gathered outside the city. If we don't withdraw, the next battle will be troublesome."

Cao Shuo shook his head and said: "The opponent is not crazy enough. Tian Yu's army has not moved, which means that the opponent still has a lot of soldiers left in Wen County. Whether or not Liaodong can be determined in one battle depends on whether we can persist until the end. .”

"Seal the last city gate!"
