Chapter 467
More than 30 miles apart, two fierce battles began almost at the same time——
.
Under Cao Cao's personal command, nearly 70,000 Cao's army launched a scattered attack on Puyang City where Guan Yu was stationed.
This time, unlike the tentative attacks in the previous few days, the battle has reached a fever pitch from the beginning.
Hundreds of catapults and tens of thousands of crossbows began to roar in anger.
Countless stone bullets and arrows were fired out like a storm. A sky net representing death was woven in the air, accompanied by a shrill and terrifying whistle, covering each other hard at their respective targets.
The arrows and stones flying interlaced constantly in the air, with dull or sharp impacts coming one after another.
Once the huge stone bomb hits the target, it can immediately smash live people into terrifying mass of flesh. The rain of arrows in the sky is like a sickle, harvesting crops of life.
Various siege equipment advanced at the same time on the front line that lasted several miles. There were rushing cars covered with thick cowhide, hammer heads and fine iron, angrily chariots used for earth attack operations, and silencing cars over three or four meters high, with more than a hundred pieces of equipment, which were terrifying.
The siege equipment was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the intimidating aura was like a huge wave, and then it was covered with overwhelming impact on the city tower.
Tens of thousands of Cao's soldiers holding swords and shields were approaching the city walls like a tide as a cover.
.
On the city tower, Guan Yu was wearing heavy armor and personally led the battle against arrows and stones.
The defenders struggled to pull the leash of the catapult and threw the huge stone bullet at the Cao army's equipment. The soldiers in charge of looking around kept shouting and correcting the angle and distance of the catapult to ensure that the stone bullet could accurately hit the target.
The archers were crazy and tirelessly carried out mechanical movements of raising arrows, opening strings, and lying strings. One wave after another rain of arrows poured down the city.
On the inside of the city tower, a pot of oil has been boiling, and countless rock-beating wood are raising momentum to attack.
Cao's army is getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the attack intensity of the offensive and defensive sides seems to have increased exponentially. The dense rain of arrows can make people breathless.
The wooden cowhide on the front of the siege equipment was filled with arrows, just like hedgehogs. There were also arrows everywhere on the top and bottom of the city tower.
More than twenty equipment were smashed into a pile of scrap wood, but the rest successfully approached under the city wall.
The rusher was along several river sections that had been filled.
The city wall and the city gate were hit; the Ang Yun car continued to work and frantically filled other river sections; the well railing was more direct, and Cao soldiers on the roof threw the huge springboard prepared at the city tower, and after erecting the female wall, they began to climb the city.
The guards on the city were killed and injured by more than twenty huge springboards on the spot, but they immediately realized that a few people, more than a dozen people, flew stones in groups, shouting and lifting the springboard and throwing them back to the foot of the city wall.
Although Cao Bing, who had climbed the city, was still a little slower. Before they could jump onto the city tower, almost half of the springboard was thrown out of the city wall.
With a horror cry, the Cao soldiers who fell with the springboard were mostly broken, their tendons were broken, and their bones were broken, and they were unlucky to die.
Other Cao soldiers climbed the city and did not dare to see the tragic situation of their companions. They had to hurry up and jump onto the city tower, otherwise they might end up the same fate.
Dozens of Cao soldiers had just gained foothold on the city tower. They found that tens of times the defenders surrounded them. The shields were like screens and swords and guns were like forests, and they did not give them a chance to gain a foothold.
"Kill~!" There was no time to think about other things, so the dozens of Cao soldiers could only rush forward with a tough bullet.
Soon, they were flooded by the sea.
…………
Amid the angry shouts, a pot of boiling oil poured from the top of the city, and then the lit torches and hay fell down. The city suddenly turned into a sea of fire. More than ten chariots were immediately swallowed by the sea of fire.
Many Cao soldiers were also wrapped in it, screaming endlessly.
Some soldiers with remaining strength rushed out of the sea of fire, caught fire, and struggled to escape back. Some of them were shot down by bows and arrows on the top of the city, and some fell to the ground halfway through the run, allowing the flames to wrap their bodies; some were not seriously injured, so they took off their oil-stained armor.
Rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames.
However, it was not only the soldiers of the Cao army who suffered from the oil splash, but even the defenders were no exception. Some soldiers were hit by scattered arrows or flying stones before they could pour the boiling oil down. After the pot and cauldron fell, the splash of oil made the people around them suffer.
…………
………………………………………………………….
More than 30 miles south of Puyang City, another fierce battle was in full swing.
Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Ping and Xu Sheng also launched a fierce attack on Xiahou Dun. Huang Zhong led more than 11,000 infantrymen in the unit to force the attack from the front to break through Xiahou Dun's main formation. Zhao Yun led the Feng Cavalry from the right wing, Guan Ping and Xu Sheng from the left wing to form a three-sided attack on Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun was not panicked and confronted him tit---- He ordered Cao Xiu's elite cavalry to restrain Zhao Yun, and ordered the General Niu Jin to lead a group of troops to resist Guan Ping and Xu Sheng, while he himself led the main force to fight against Huang Zhong, striving to win the front first.
At the same time, Xiahou Dun also urgently sent a scout to order Zang Bahe Qian to recruit help, attacking Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong from behind.
.
The flags of both sides danced vigorously in the wind, and the earthly beasts on the flags were waving their figures, as if they were about to take off in the air.
The horns roared forever, vigorous and intense, echoing above the fields and between heaven and earth.
With the charge of the army, drum cars kept moving forward. On the car, burly men with naked upper bodies waved the drumsticks with all their might and beat the huge cowhide war drums.
The drums were like thunder, fierce and hot, and he was like a god standing in the air, inspiring and inspiring his soldiers to fight to the end, and he would stop until death.
.
Huang Zhong rode his horse and ran away, and the phoenix-mouthed golden sword streaked across the sky again and again like a terrifying geese, bringing up a touch of blood and heads one by one.
This veteran who has entered his twilight years is as dazzling as the sunset, and is as brave as the god of war on the battlefield.
They bullied him in old age, thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the Cao army generals, but in the end they all turned into the unjust souls under the phoenix-mouthed sword in their eyes.
Inspired by the old general, Jing Yang's soldiers fought for the first place, and the offensives rushed forward, as if a rushing tide was sweeping over.
The Cao army, facing the surging tide, was swaying left and right by the surging tide, and their breathing became extremely difficult, but they could not retreat. Behind them, although there was no abyss, there was a butcher knife from the supervisory team.
Xiahou Dun had already issued a death order———In this battle, there is advancement but no retreat, and I am invincible. In addition to fighting to the death, we are also fighting to the death!
Under adversity, the Cao army soldiers also broke out, and they gritted their teeth and fought with the enemy.
The sea of people is like a tide, broken arms and limbs are flying all over the sky, and dead bodies are floating around like dead leaves in late autumn, and the hot blood irrigates the land under your feet.
.
Right-wing battlefield
In the smoke and dust that soared into the sky, the rushing cavalry once again bumped head-on.
"I am invincible, defeat the enemy!" Zhao Yunce's cavalry was like a white lightning, cutting into the Cao army's cavalry group without any obstacles.
The silver spear of wind and snow flew up and down, and the shadows of guns that transformed into the sky were like snowflakes falling from the sky in the eyes of their opponents. It was extremely beautiful, but also extremely fatal.
When the "snowflakes" are dancing in front of you, often the next moment, your throat is already pierced.
In front of Zhao Yun, no one could stop him from three rounds. To a certain extent, even Cao Xiu dared not take over with Zhao Yun himself.
Zhao Yun is like the sharpness of a magic weapon, and he is invincible.
The wind cavalry that followed was the blade of the divine weapon. They tore the sharp wounds infinitely, allowing the opponent to shed the last drop of blood in the painful tragic roar.
Two teams of wind cavalrymen, one left and one right, opened the distance, and ran into a huge ring on the periphery, enclosing the Cao army cavalry.
The wind cavalry completely controlled the horse with their legs, and shot left and right on the horns of the ox, and waves of arrows shocked the opponent and baptized the opponent...
After experiencing the restraint and panic at the beginning of the war, the recruits of the Wind Cavalry had gradually adapted to the bloody battlefield.
The Wind Cavalry is an eagle soaring in the sky, not a chicken or duck that is raised by home. The eagle will not be allowed to exist in the existence of poultry.
The recruits either work hard to become eagles or are only driven away by other eagles.
Zhao Yun's strict practice has already given them the wings of an eagle. All they have to do is to flap their wings and soar into the sky!
Facing the Fengqi Army that was entering a crazy state, Cao Xiu could not give in, nor did he dare to give in.
Unable to stop Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun's flank was completely exposed to the extremely sharp eagle pecking of the Wind Cavalry. What would happen and what would happen, Cao Xiu dared not think about it.
Therefore, no matter what, we must block Zhao Yun and the Wind Cavalry, even if we fight to the last cavalry.
.
Left-wing battlefield
Guan Ping and Xu Sheng each led a group of troops, forming a horn-shaped force, like a two-headed snake, intertwined with Niu Jin. In the previous Dingtao offensive and defensive battle, due to internal and external difficulties, they were suppressed by Xiahou Dun.
A burst of breath was stuffy in my chest, and it became heavier and he needed to vent, and I needed to vent...
