Chapter 1038

"Everyone, from now on, if you don't take off your armor and your weapon, it's up to you whether Changyi can keep it." Above the city wall, Cao Cao looked at the generals at the head of the city with a gloomy face;

"may you die for the Lord!" They all agreed.

The voice of the generals at the head of the city caused the response of the soldiers. For a moment, the whole city of Changyi sounded the voice of shouting. The voice was loud and straight into the sky. Seeing this, Cao Cao could not help smiling, but nodded to himself. At least now, the morale of the soldiers in the city is high, and every day he stayed in Changyi, he bought another day's training time for the soldiers in other cities.

The cry at the head of Changyi city also shocked the people in the camp of the eastern army several miles away. Huangfu Chaobo looked back in the direction of Changyi city and said in his heart: Cao, I'll see what you do!

After the reinforcements arrived, Huangfu Chaobo did not attack the city immediately. Instead, he ordered the army to rest for another day before attacking the city.

After ten days of preparation, Dugu BA's two brothers led the digging army to dig out a total of 12 tunnels. At present, they have reached the moat. They are only tens of steps away from the city wall. There are three on both sides of the East and West, and six on the south. When the army begins to attack the city with all its strength, it can quickly get through and enter the city.

For the twelve tunnels, Huangfu Chaobo was not prepared to join his most elite guards, just like Dingtao city in front of him. Instead, he prepared to arrange 500 soldiers and guards for each tunnel, with a total of 12000. Because in the city there are Cao Cao's most elite army of 40000, 30000 Qingzhou soldiers and 10000 tigers and leopards riding, Huangfu Chaobo dare not gamble with Cao Cao with his most elite soldiers.

For these 12000 people, Huangfu Chaobo didn't expect them to open the gate. He just hoped that they could attract the attention of the defenders to the maximum extent. Even if only half of them could successfully enter the city, it would be a fatal blow to the defense of Changyi.

On May 13, it's sunny and breezy. It's already midsummer, and the weather is getting hotter and drier. At this time, the best time for human action is morning and evening. If it's noon, the scorching sun in space can almost scorch people. At this time, let alone fighting, people can't stand standing under the sun for less than a quarter of an hour.

Therefore, when the sky was dim, the camp of the eastern army began to be busy. Half an hour later, a group of soldiers began to leave the camp array, and then slowly approached in the direction of Changyi city. The war was about to begin.

Fifty thousand reinforcements were arranged in three directions by Huangfu Chaobo. The south gate was the focus of the attack, with 30000 soldiers, while the east gate and the west gate were each with 15000 soldiers. In addition to the soldiers and horses previously arranged, the number of soldiers involved in the attack at each gate was no less than 30000.

Of the 35000 cavalry, except 5000 in the north of Jishui, 20000 in the southeast of Changyi and 10000 in the southwest. The southeast direction was the key direction for Cao Cao's army to break through the encirclement, so most of the cavalry were arranged here. This time, Huangfu Chaobo wanted to keep as many of Cao Cao's most elite soldiers as possible to prepare for the future war.

With the rumbling of the drums, the bleak horn is also breaking through the mist of the morning, straight into the sky. In the rumble of war drums, thousands of soldiers marching on the East beat the drums and attacked the city wall. Today's war, Huangfu Chaobo did not use the new reinforcements, but sent out the original soldiers who had been fighting for many days. The purpose was to make the new soldiers adapt to the battlefield environment.

At the position of the central army, Huangfu Chaobo quietly watched the soldiers attacking the city. They attacked the city wall in teams. Before they could hold the city for a quarter of an hour, they were driven down by Cao Cao. Some siege equipment was smashed by Cao Cao's army, and soon new equipment came close to the city wall. When they arrived at the foot of the city, the soldiers climbed up to the top of the city to fight again.

Time flies. Seeing the sun rising in the sky, Huangfu Chaobo knows that this morning's war should be over. He waves his hand and says, "Mingjin, stop!" With that, he left the watchtower without looking back and headed for the camp.

"Ding Ding"

With the sound of the withdrawal of troops, the soldiers of Zhengdong retreated like a tide. Of course, when they retreated, they would easily leave the intact equipment with most of the injured Ze Pao. A moment later, the noisy battlefield had become very quiet, leaving only the screams and groans of the wounded soldiers who had no time to leave, And the curl of smoke rising everywhere inside and outside the city wall.

After returning to the camp, Huangfu Chaobo immediately sent for Dugu Ba and his brothers to inquire about the excavation of the tunnel. After getting the reply that the tunnel will be excavated into the city in two days, Huangfu Chaobo waved them to retreat.

The reason why the war in the daytime is so powerful is that in addition to increasing the strength of the attack, another point is to use the huge noise on the battlefield to cover up the sound of more than ten underground tunnels.

The fighting in the afternoon didn't start until Shenshi, and it didn't end until dark. The next day, 60000 reinforcements began to join the war. With the participation of these new forces, the war became more intense.

After two consecutive days of fighting, 60000 reinforcements have fully adapted to the fighting. At this time, Yuan Shao's vanguard has begun to approach Wei County, because he is not sure whether Yuan Shao is bluffing or really wants to attack Wei county. In order to avoid long dreams, Huangfu Chaobo decides to attack the city with all his strength tomorrow, that is, on the 16th. At the end of the day, there will be twelve tunnels At the same time, the soldiers will attack the city and conquer Changyi.As for the arrangement of troops to attack the city tomorrow, Huangfu Chaobo decided to make the first attack by the battalions. After the soldiers and horses in the tunnel enter the city, Cao Cao's army is bound to have a short-term chaos. At this time, the strongest soldiers and horses in the East army will quickly attack the city.

In order to enhance Zhang Ying's fighting power, Huang Fu Chao Bo specially transferred 2000 yuan crossbow troops to Zhang Ying's command, and then transferred 1000 yuan crossbow troops and 1000 iron barracks to Huang Fu Li's command, while the second wave of attack in the west city was handed over to Gao Shun's trap The iron eagles of Ying and Chen Jing.

Just when Huangfu Chaobo began to arrange the next day's war arrangements, Cao Cao also got Ren Jun's report and listened to the surveillance of the taxi soldiers. They found five abnormalities in the city, including one in the west, two in the East and two in the south. Cao Cao keenly realized that Huangfu Chaobo was likely to launch a general attack on Changyi tomorrow.
