Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

The next day, Xiahou Dun led another 3000 troops out of the camp, leaving only [-] people to guard the camp.

Seven thousand troops gathered outside the west gate of Pengcheng, but within half an hour the formation was formed. Xiahou Dun looked at Pengcheng from afar and immediately ordered to attack the city.

Suddenly, the soldiers in front of the phalanx stepped aside, and thousands of archers rushed towards Pengcheng. Holding hard bows and carrying a pot of arrows on their backs, these archers rushed towards Pengcheng.

When thousands of archers moved forward, two thousand sword shield soldiers followed quickly under the leadership of several generals and military lords.

Among them, they raised the long ladder they built and quickly approached the city.

Soon, thousands of archers arrived in front of the city wall, and without waiting for Xiahou Dun's archers to shoot arrows, the Pengcheng defenders on the city wall launched an attack under Cao Bao's order.

By the time Xiahou Dun's archers continued to approach the city wall and were able to attack the Pengcheng defenders on the city wall, more than a hundred of them had been shot.

The archers on both sides began to shoot each other across the city wall and moat.

But after a while, the sword and shield soldiers who followed the archer came, and they immediately put the long ladder on the moat.

Looking at the enemy troops building long ladders on the moat, how could the Xuzhou defenders on the city wall agree, Cao Bao shouted loudly: "Shoot me hard!"

When the military order was issued, several school lieutenants quickly commanded their archers to shoot at the enemy troops below the city.

Under the rule of Arrow Rain, the sword and shield soldiers sent by Xiahou Dun lost some more, but fortunately, the Xuzhou archers above the city wall could not shoot at will, because they still needed to avoid the enemy archers below the city.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and they finally put the long ladder on the moat outside the city.

People can walk across the river on it.

The first obstacle was settled, and then they began to follow the long ladder above the moat, and continued to move the long ladder forward.

After they touched the city wall, they began to work together to put the long ladder on the city wall.

As a strong city in Xuzhou, Pengcheng has extremely high walls, and ordinary long ladders simply cannot reach the top of the city.

So the long ladder Xiahou Dun used was six feet long.

Now they put the rope on the top of the long ladder, and the flying claw is connected to the front of the rope. Two soldiers will dance the rope and throw the flying claw violently.

The two flying claws drew two arcs in the air, and then hooked on the edge of the female wall. The soldiers on both sides of the long ladder immediately pulled the rope vigorously, and one end of the long ladder was slowly pulled up.

After a while, it was on top of the city wall.

The two of them immediately threw away the ropes in their hands, and then stood on both sides of the long ladder, one on the left and one on the right, pressing on the long ladder with one hand, and protecting their bodies with a shield in the other.

As sword and shield soldiers, they immediately lined up one by one, and quickly ran up the long ladder.

Not long after, there were ten long ladders built on the city wall of Pengcheng.

But the defenders of Pengcheng were not jealous. Although the time was rushed, there were a few rackets prepared on the top of the city.

These rackets were hung on the city wall, part of which was exposed outside the city wall. The defenders on the top of the city controlled a racket and pushed down the long ladder on the city wall.

However, the soldiers who attacked soon put the long ladder on the city wall with ropes.

The six-foot-long ladder is very heavy, and it is very difficult to put it directly on the city wall by manpower, and only ropes can be used.

Once such a long ladder is placed on the city wall, it is very difficult to push it down with a racket.

However, the military order is like a mountain, no matter how difficult it is, the soldiers on both sides will do it desperately.

On the top of the city, the archers are still shooting arrows non-stop.

The sun has passed the middle, and the fighting is still going on.

The two parties fought non-stop at the west gate of Pengcheng.

Cao Bao, the school captain of Xuzhou, was on the top of Ximen City, watching the whole battle situation, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, stayed in the council hall of the governor's mansion waiting for news.

The sound of Ximen's fighting could not be heard in the meeting hall.

Tao Qian could only kneel on the first seat, waiting anxiously.

Below him, there are several scribes, one of them is Xuzhou Biejia Mi Zhu, and the other is Jian Yong.

Other officials in Xuzhou are busy defending the city.

Pengcheng is a strong city, and it is also a big city. There are enough food, grass and soldiers in the city, so Tao Qian is not worried at all.

In the treasury in the city, there are as many as [-] thunder stone logs, and now there are two captains collecting thunder stone logs in the city.

Ximen, seeing that the enemy army was about to climb the city wall along the long ladders, the Xuzhou defenders on Pengcheng immediately stabbed them with spears and spears in their hands.

Some defenders, while the opponent was still on the long ladder, picked up a rolling log on the top of the wall and threw it over.

This log is a piece of ordinary wood, but it also weighs more than ten kilograms. If it is thrown down hard and hits the enemy army, it will definitely injure it.

If you are lucky and hit the enemy's head, you will almost kill an enemy.

If you are unlucky, hitting the enemy's shield will not cause much damage to the enemy.

The two sides continued to fight, time passed quickly, and it was getting dark.

Xiahoudun had already changed two sets of swords and shields to attack the city, but he still failed to take the city. In desperation, he could only order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The soldiers who were still on the city wall retreated quickly.

Cao Bao watched the enemy leave and heaved a sigh of relief.

Today was the first day of attacking the city. I didn't expect the enemy to be so ferocious. Fortunately, there were enough defense equipment on the city wall.

He called his confidantes and ordered them to treat the wounded and count the casualties.

Just as Cao Bao was about to leave the city and report to Tao Qian at the Governor's Mansion, a soldier came over.

"General, the enemy army outside the city has sent people over, and they said they want to recover the corpse!"

"Sure!" Cao Bao replied and left in a hurry.

If the opponent's corpses are allowed to pile up outside the city, it is easy to cause plague.In that case, the consequences would be disastrous.

Cao Bao rode a war horse and galloped to the governor's mansion, and someone immediately went to the meeting hall to report.

Not long after, he arrived at the meeting hall.

Seeing Cao Bao, Tao Qian immediately asked, "General Cao, how is the situation?"

"Report to the Inspector, the enemy army has retreated, I have sent someone to count the casualties, I think we will know in half an hour."

After a pause, Cao Bao said again: "Cao's army is attacking the city very violently today. Fortunately, we have prepared a lot of defense equipment. One-third of the thunder, stone and rolling logs on the city wall have been consumed, and people still need to prepare."

"Okay, I'll order people to go down to prepare immediately, General Cao, sit down and rest quickly, I have ordered people to prepare wine and meat!"

Tao Qian immediately ordered his servants to bring up the wine and meat, Cao Bao was not polite, and immediately started eating and drinking.
