Chapter 308 Fire Suppression
Chapter 308 Fire Suppression
Seeing that the Xiliang Army sent a carriage, Cao Cao became restless, and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge, and Cao Hong was naturally the first to rush out of the city.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Cao Hong glanced at the situation inside the carriage, and then made a gesture to Cao Cao at the top of the city.

Seeing this, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "Zi Xiao is fine!"

The generals heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the words. So far, there have been no casualties in today's competition, but the next siege battle will not be so simple.

Meng Chen outside the city waved to Cao Cao at the head of the city, and then led the guards back under his handsome flag.

Judging from the position of Mengchen Shuaiqi, it was obviously carefully selected.

This place is not only conducive to the command of the entire army, the most critical problem is that Cao Cao cannot clearly see the movements here from the top of Xudu City.

"My lord, it's almost time!" Pang Tong reminded Meng Chen in a low voice.

Now that he has known Cao Cao's intentions, Meng Chen will naturally not sit still. Right now, in order not to make Cao Cao doubtful, he can only use his tricks.

"Send the order, attack the city!" Meng Chen waved his big hand, and then the horns of the entire Chinese army were loud, and the order to attack was received, and the Xiliang army formation suddenly surged.

At the forefront are ladders, engineering towers, and rush cars, followed by trebuchets.

After years of painstaking improvement, the range of today's trebuchet has been brought to the extreme.

If you want to continue to make breakthroughs, you must innovate materials!
As the Xiliang army began to attack the city, Cao Cao at the head of Xudu City left in a hurry under the escort of his generals. After all, the danger factor here was too high, and Cao Cao must not risk himself.

"My lord, with Hong here, the Xiliang army will definitely not be able to invade Xudu." Before leaving, Cao Hong smiled and assured Cao Cao.

This fierce battle has only just begun. As for how many people will survive after the battle, Cao Hong doesn't know, and Cao Cao doesn't know either.

But for them, this is a battle of life and death, and life and death have long been ignored.

"Zi Lian, Feng Xiao's kit can only be opened at the most critical moment!" Cao Cao exhorted with a solemn expression.

Before Guo Jia left, he had already deployed the entire Cao army, especially several key figures, and gave them all a kit.

Now that Cao Cao is emphasizing this matter again, Cao Hong can't help but ignore it.

"My lord, don't worry, no matter what, we will buy time for the military division." Cao Hong stretched out his hand to touch the kit pinned to his waist, and assured Cao Cao again.

As the trumpets sounded more and more frequently, the final preparations before the Xiliang Army's general attack were finally completed!
"The catapult is loaded, let's test fire and let it go!" With the loud shout of the junior captain, the prepared catapult screamed and threw the first stone bomb.

"Cross the city wall, lower the scale by one, test fire the second, let it go!"

As the stone bullet hit the city wall with the sound of breaking through the air, the entire catapult line erupted into bursts of shouts.

Hitting the target in two rounds is the result of years of training.

"Each group adjusts the scales, the target is Xudu, let it go!"

With the crazy output of twenty groups of trebuchets, the decisive battle between Meng Chen and Cao Cao has officially come to an end!

The suppression of the trebuchet was just the beginning. Seeing the screams and smoke caused by the impact of the stone bombs on the top of the city, Meng Yan couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.

My lord has already ordered the generals to attack, what Meng Yan has to do now is to wait quietly.

This kind of waiting is hope for the Xiliang army, but it is suffering for the Cao army at the head of Xudu City.

The shock waves generated by the stone bullets hitting the city wall hit the weak hearts of Cao Jun's soldiers all the time.

Not only that, occasionally stone bullets would fall directly on the top of the city, and the smoke and dust would clear away the bloody water on the ground, and there would be the wailing of those who survived!
Guessing that the time is almost up, Meng Yan suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist: "The crossbowmen are ready, let Cao Jun see the arrow array of the ancestors!"

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

One hundred thousand Qin Ruishi let out an angry roar, and then saw the archers and crossbowmen who had already prepared in the formation began to bend their bows and set arrows.

Under Meng Chen's guidance, it took Ma Jun a lot of effort to make a compound bow, and the bow and arrow in the hands of Da Qin Ruishi is the best in the entire Xiliang army.

Due to the longer range of the new compound bow, archers only need to bend the bow and set the arrow, facing the sky at a 45-degree angle.

But the crossbowmen are different. Although the power of various crossbow bolts is great, the range is very short, and the crossbowmen among the Great Qin Ruishi are mostly foot crossbows.

This kind of foot-operated crossbow is usually in a group of two, with one crossbowman lying on the ground supporting the body of the crossbow with his legs, and the other assisting.

Such a foot crossbow looks bulky, but it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy in a siege battle!

"Let go!" Meng Yan roared.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "buzzing" vibration sound, and the next moment, a rain of arrows roared towards the city of Xudu, looking like a swarm of fast-flying locusts from a distance.

Because Cao Jun at the top of the city was so crushed by the catapult that he couldn't lift his head up, the Daqin Ruishi had already shot a rain of arrows, causing panic on the top of the city.

"Raise the shield, raise the shield!" The rain of arrows fell, and Cao Hong hurriedly gave the order. Although there was a feeling of mending a dead sheep, it still saved a few lives.

"General, it's not an option to go on like this..." The lieutenant at the side said something to Cao Ren, but he was shot in the head by a crossbow before he died halfway.

The helmet and the like, in front of the crossbow arrows, are like paper, and they have not played their due role at all!

At this moment, Cao Ren was a little flustered. He fought a lot, but this kind of suppression was the first time Cao Ren encountered it.

The folks said that the Xiliang army was ferocious in field battles, but it was only at this moment that Cao Ren really realized that the rumors of the folks could not be trusted at all.

As time passed, Cao Jun at the head of Xudu City was so overwhelmed that he couldn't lift his head, while the Xiliang Army's stone bullets, arrows, and crossbows poured out like crazy as if they didn't want money.

"My lord, the Cao army at the top of the city has been suppressed, it's time to rush to the grain and grass camp." Pang Tong's eager voice came, and Meng Chen smiled calmly.

"Meng Qi, the Shuai Qi will be handed over to you, and everything will be subject to Shi Yuan's arrangement."

"Here!"

"Brother Shan, gather [-] guards to target the food and grass camp. Today Benhou is going to give Guo Jia a surprise."

After finishing speaking, Meng Chen stood up and walked behind him, and not long after he left, Ma Chao appeared under the handsome flag wearing the same armor as Meng Chen.

Looking from a distance, there is not much difference between his figure and Mengchen. If one does not observe carefully, it is difficult to find that this Mengchen is not that Mengchen.

The importance of the food and grass camp is self-evident. Since Guo Jia likes to use his sword to strike a slant, Meng Chen naturally wants to entertain him well.

It would be best if he could be captured alive!
