Chapter 443

Cao Cao began to attack xiapi city.

Three hundred thousand troops began to attack.

Such as the tide of troops to xiapi city.

Tao Qian barely supported, and then went to the top of the city to boost morale.

When Tao Qian appeared at the head of the city, he was frightened to see the tide of entering the sea.

However, Tao Qian, after all, was a big old man, and he still had some basic strength. He forced himself to walk around the city.

When Tao Qian came down from the city, he almost couldn't stand. If the soldiers around him didn't support him in time, he would fall down.

After returning to the prefecture, Tao Qian fell ill.

But the war will not stop.

Cao Cao began to attack.

This time, Cao Cao invested more than 100000 troops at a time, and then prepared a large number of siege equipment. When more than 100000 troops began to attack, the sound of shouting and killing could make people scared.

At the beginning of the war, Cao Cao ordered a fierce attack, and the soldiers at the head of the city resisted.

Under the command of the general, Cao Cao's army took shields and siege equipment to the city wall, and then began to climb.

Above the city wall, Xuzhou's soldiers poured arrows down, and stones and rolling trees were also desperately smashed down the city.

Both sides showed a desperate posture.

The garrison on the top of the city is under great pressure because the enemy is too strong, and they have no experience in facing the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops.

At the same time, the pressure of Cao Jun under the city is also huge.

This is a big city, a city with hundreds of thousands of people.

Xuzhou is no other place. Although there is no insurance to defend, it is economically developed.

Tao Qian is also very prestigious in Xuzhou.

There is a lot of pressure on both sides, but in this case, both sides have to work hard.

Cao Cao personally supervised the battle and sent up a troop. When he was disabled, he replaced a troop.

"No Gao Shun came out and solemnly replied.

Gao shunben is a capable general, especially good at defense.

These 30000 soldiers and horses were trained by him with high intensity, and 5000 of them were even trained by himself.

At this time, Zhang Yu gave him a very big stage, which was the time for him to play his part.

Gao soon took over command.

Zhang Yu is at the head of the city, looking at Gao Shun's arrangement and paying attention to the whole war situation.

With Xiao Pei, Cao Cao was attacking xiapi, but it was hard to break the morale of the soldiers in xiapi.

After all, they are not in a desperate situation, and Xiao Pei can provide them with support.

Of course, Cao Ren knew this truth, but they had to be more careful in the face of Zhang Yu, so they prepared for a day before they began to attack.

"Kill."

Cao Ren had an army of 150000. He didn't have much skill. He surrounded three and lacked one. He took all his troops to attack.

With 150000 troops besieging a small town, Zhang Yu's defense is much more difficult than Tao Qian's.

"The archer conceals, the shield guards." Seeing Cao's advancing slowly with a shield, Gao Shun didn't order the archers to attack.

At this time, the offensive effect is not big.

When Cao's army reached the bottom of the city, Gao Shun ordered the soldiers to fight back.

The first ones to fight back are rolling wood and stone.

Zhang Yu prepared a lot of rolling wood and stones in advance and smashed them at Cao Jun under the command of Gao Shun.

After the beginning of the attack, Gao Shun also ordered the archers to fight back, mainly to suppress the local archers, not to let them wantonly attack the city.

The archer used Zhang Yu's method to divide the area under the city in advance.

One area is marked with a serial number.

The generals at the head of the city only need to order which area to attack.

This method has many advantages. As long as soldiers can remember the location, they don't need to see it with their eyes. When attacking, they can hide in the rear and reduce the chance of being shot by the enemy.

At the same time, after the general orders, he can attack a place intensively, and will not disperse the firepower because of the different places where the archers attack.

However, it requires the soldiers to have a high standard, remember all directions, and be able to accurately attack the target under the command of the general.

Obviously, Zhang Yu's soldiers have reached this level.

Moreover, Zhang Yu and his family have been here for more than ten days without any preparation.

In addition to dividing the positions outside the city and writing them on the battlements, it is convenient for the soldiers to watch and compare. Most importantly, the soldiers have been trained for more than ten days.

More than ten days of training, has been able to accurately identify the location, and the arrow shot.

In fact, it's not difficult, and it doesn't need to be very prepared for the position, as long as the approximate position is OK.

The soldiers' precise attack made Cao Jun suffer a lot, and their archers were suppressed to death.

The generals at the head of the city saw where the threat was great, so they instructed the soldiers at the head of the city to baptize with arrows.

Dense arrows often leave them nowhere to hide.

In every attack, there are many soldiers who have no time to hold up their shields.

More prepared to predict, when the archers under the city leave the shield to attack, the arrow array on the head of the city just hit, so a large number of archers almost did not escape.

After several rounds of attacks, the archers under the city were completely suppressed.

After the archer is suppressed, the soldiers on the head of the city will have less danger when they hit with rolling wood and stone, and can also aim.

Therefore, the casualties of Cao's army soon went up, and the archers lost a lot, as did the siegers.

Cao Ren attack for a while, gradually found the problem.

"Zhang Yu's army is really hard to deal with." Cao Ren's face is a little gloomy. Zhang Yu's archers are hiding behind him. His archery is very accurate, causing huge casualties to them.

Cao Ren did not stop the attack, but continued to attack, but he carefully observed, trying to find the secret, so as to make a response.

Half a day's attack made Cao Ren lose more than 3000 people.

The attack in the afternoon did not improve at all. The losses were even greater. After the first World War, more than 5000 people were lost.

In the evening, Zhang Yu counted them and found that they had lost more than 4000 soldiers.

But more than 3000 of them are soldiers from Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu arranged the most dangerous task for Xuzhou's soldiers and horses, that is, people would lean out of the city and attack Cao Jun with rolling wood and stones.

It's dangerous when they point their heads out. They'll be shot by the enemy under the city.

There are other people's army can do these things, Zhang Yu naturally won't let his soldiers die easily.
