Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

"kill!"

Only to hear Martha shout.

"After I enter the city, I will slaughter everyone!"

He looked at Hao Zhao and said angrily.

"I want to see how you defend against my army's attack!"

If Zhao Yun looked at him with this look before, why would he, Hao Zhao, look at him with this look?

"Boom boom boom!

Counting the 20,000 foot soldiers borrowed from Zhang Lu in Hanyang County, 40,000 foot soldiers approached the city wall in unison.

The soldiers standing in the first place were all holding shields, slowly covering the friendly forces behind them.

He tried to prepare to block the feather arrows fired by the city defense, but Hao Zhao didn't seem to order his soldiers to attack immediately, but waited quietly as the army approached.

With the urn city, Hao Zhao was not afraid of these soldiers at all, and his expression was extremely indifferent.

The 40,000 soldiers came directly outside the urn city, only to see their shield formation scattered in the center, the soldiers in the middle also avoided one after another, and two rushing vehicles appeared from the crowd.

The front of the rushing car made countless huge spikes out of iron, and the rushing chariot might have left many big holes when it hit the city gate.

Unless the city gate is made of metal, the wooden city gate will no longer exist if it hits the city gate several times in front of the city rushing cart.

The appearance of this rushing car made the eyes of the soldiers of Xiliang show excitement.

This can't help but make He Zhao on the city defense show a hint of surprise. He didn't expect that the army of Xiliang was already prepared.

Even the rushing car was ready, which was obviously an early preparation for forcibly breaking the city.

However, he showed a hint of a smile, so what if you just broke the gate of the urn city?

Countless archers on the watchtower in the urn are waiting for these soldiers to enter.

"boom!"

A huge crashing sound came out, and the rushing car was violently hitting the city gate, making a violent sound.

Countless potholes appeared on the gate of the Weng City, and with the withdrawal of the rushing chariot, countless sawdust came out.

The rushing car, which is ready to go, continues to prepare for the next collision.

The Xiliang army all showed a smile.

Ma Chao said proudly.

"This time, let me see how you can guard against us?

As soon as the city rushing carts came out, it was only a matter of time before the city gates were broken.

However, Hao Zhao's expression did not change much. He looked at Ma Chao without any fear. He just broke the gate of Wengcheng, and the real defense was still behind.

"Crash!"

The sound of the broken wooden planks of the city gate resounded continuously, and as expected, the city gate of Weng City was easily destroyed by the Xiliang army.

"Rush rush!"

"Brothers, the urn city is broken, kill with me!

The 40,000-strong army moved directly towards the interior of the urn city.

However, these soldiers only took two steps towards the urn city, and countless arrows flew.

"call out!"

The soldiers at the forefront came to the ground one after another, and the rain of arrows seemed to be endlessly fired.

Countless soldiers panicked one after another, and they were a little shocked when they looked in front of them.

It is not only the arrows in the sky that come into view, this whole row of uniform arrow towers is a bit terrifying.

"Shield Guard, Shield Guard!"

"Come quickly to block the bow and arrow!"

But now that the shield formation is condensed again, I am afraid it is too late. A round of arrows leaves, even if the shield formation condenses, it has already damaged over a thousand.

These people have not touched the real city wall yet, they are just struggling back and forth in the urn city.

"Everyone stay in formation! 35

A centurion commanded loudly in the crowd, and the soldiers became orderly.

The shield formation condensed again, and these soldiers stepped forward slowly.

At the same time, the shield formation spread out on both sides again, and the Chongcheng was pushed in by the soldiers.

Those soldiers even had a look of anticipation in their eyes.

As long as the real city gate in this urn city is broken, the 80,000 iron cavalry behind him will step on Huaili City!

"Come on! Break the city gate for me․々! 9

Hao Zhao looked at the soldiers who were about to approach the city gate, and he said coldly.

"Prepare for hay and kerosene! 39

"Throw it around the rushing city cart!

The soldiers in the city defense threw countless bales of hay from the city wall, accompanied by the strong pungent smell.

The 40,000 soldiers who came here immediately understood Cao Jun's intentions.

Countless torches were thrown straight down without giving the enemy any time to react. This series of actions was completed in a very coherent manner.

There was an exclamation from the 40,000 army.

"It's kerosene! Prepare to withdraw!"

Before he could finish his words, the raging fire had already shot up into the sky, and the flames around the chariot were even worse.

For a while, no one dared to approach the surrounding area. If this goes on, if the flames are allowed to burn, the chariot will soon turn into a pile of charcoal.

He Zhao laughed loudly above the urn city.

"But the rushing city car really thinks it can break my city gate?

That Ma Chao looked a little ugly and said lightly.

"It's just kerosene, I'm here to see how you burn up my army of 100,000!"

However, just as he was speaking, the 40,000-strong army continued to be killed and injured, and the appearance of flames completely disrupted the shield formation.

The soldiers on the sword tower did not give up this great opportunity in the slightest, and countless arrows were fired one after another.

Hao Zhao shook his head and looked at Ma Chao with a light smile.

"Without the rushing car, I would like to see, how did you come to break my city?"

With this spear, Ma Chao personally went into battle and directed the surrounding soldiers, but he was really killed by the rain of arrows, unable to move an inch.

And Sima Yi, who was leading the army behind him, saw the army entering the Wengcheng and was quiet for a long time, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Cao's army is rich, I am afraid that the arrow feathers are hoarding countless!

"I'm afraid they will not be short of arrows. The city defense is covered by a pheasant tooth wall, and they are condescending. Even if there are archers in the rear, our infantry may not be able to break through the city for a while!

As soon as his words came out, Ma Teng on one side looked as usual.

Winning this city is extremely important to him. When Cao Jun's support arrives, there will not be such a good opportunity.

Ma Teng glanced at the city wall once, his brows furrowed, but there was only a urn.

How could only 20,000 people in this city stop the 40,000-strong army?

The attack that was less than 40,000 still did not stop. For them, time was extremely important.

Raising 100,000 troops to come, but was stopped by this city of only 20,000?

"Everyone follow me!"

Looking at the flames on the ground, Ma Chao said indifferently.

"Add me a climbing ladder!

After those soldiers hesitated for a moment, they still gritted their teeth and rushed towards the city wall, knowing that there were countless blazing fires ahead.

After several people's lives were sacrificed, the climbing ladders were finally put up.

Ma Chao grinned.

"Everyone goes to the city!

Hao Zhao's expression still did not change when he looked at the shelf where the climbing ladder was written.

The hooks on the top of the ladders were firmly embedded in the city wall, and the city defenses could not stop the erection of the ladders, they could only increase the firepower, and the countless arrows did not save any money.

At this moment, there are already corpses everywhere in the Weng City, but Ma Chao has no intention of retreating.

I saw Ma Chao shouting coldly.

"Today, I must step into the Huai Li!

Originally thought that after the climbing ladder was installed, the progress of breaking the city should be greatly improved, but after a quarter of an hour, no one climbed the city defense.

"Squeak, bang!

With the sound of the city defense, the huge log rolled down again.

A huge log was full of sharp nailed weapons. After it completely fell, the huge axle on the city defense recovered the log again.

The two sections of the log are tied with chains, and the log is extremely difficult to break.

As long as the log came out, all the soldiers on the climbing ladder would be killed or injured.

Ma Chao's face became even more ugly. As a result, more than 10,000 soldiers had been lost.

But they couldn't even get on the city gate.

Just when he was about to shout and want to raise his troops to charge again, a man behind him came on a horse holding a black flag.

"General, the lord has an order to withdraw the troops immediately!"

Hearing this, he took a deep look at Hao Zhao above, and after a while he said reluctantly.

"withdraw!"

The remaining 20,000 people evacuated like a tide, leaving dead bodies all over the ground in the urn city.

Wei Yan on the city defense showed a smile.

"Hahaha, General Hao's defense is really seamless, and the horse really retreated."

Hao Zhao said with a sigh of relief.

"Xiliang's incoming army is much more ferocious than I imagined. If there is no Weng City, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to defend. 99

However, Wei Yan and others obviously don't think so, and it doesn't matter whether there is an urn now or not,

However, such an easy withdrawal of troops made Ma Chao extremely unhappy.

One person riding the horse came directly in front of Ma Teng and said lightly.

"Father, why are you withdrawing?

"Don't you think I can't break through this city?"

Ma Teng said lightly.

"Don't be arrogant, there are a lot of baggage and equipment in the city."

Mian Mian `Obviously, Hao Zhao gathered all the surrounding baggage and forage in this last city, in order to prevent us from approaching Chang'an. "

"Even if you lose today, you don't have to be discouraged, you can regroup and fight again tomorrow.

Hearing this, Ma Chao said lightly without the slightest change in his expression.

"I don't think I lost today!"

Then he ignored Ma Teng and walked towards the barracks alone.

Looking at Ma Chao who was leaving, Ma Teng showed a trace of anger.

"You bastard, it's so outrageous!

Sima Yi on the side looked at the father and son who were not in harmony with a thoughtful expression.

But it was interrupted by Ma Teng immediately.

"Today, Mr. Sima laughed."

"Zhongda, how do you think this city should be broken?"

Ma Teng still trusts Sima Yi's talent.

I saw him bowing respectfully, looking at Ma Teng on the side and said with a light smile.

"It's not that there is no way, this plan will hurt your reputation, but it just depends on whether the lord is willing or not.

Hearing this, Ma Teng frowned slightly, took a deep look at Chengchi, and pondered.

After a while, his eyes fixed on Sima Yi and said.

"Zhong Da said it's okay, as long as the city can be broken, Shoucheng is willing to give it a try. 55

Seeing Ma Teng's attitude, Sima Yi showed a hint of satisfaction.

"Then Zhongdao will listen to you."

"Today's Huaili not only has many arrows, but also countless kerosene."5

"Because of the wealth of Cao Cao's army, there are countless grains and hay in the city.

Hearing this, Ma Teng's face changed as if he had guessed something, and he looked at Sima Yi with a hint of hesitation.

However, Sima Yi, who noticed Ma Teng's expression, continued to speak.

"You only need to send 5,000 longbowmen and prepare tens of thousands of rockets, and wait until midnight to shoot into the city.

"There is a lot of kerosene in the Huai Li, and even hay, as long as the fire is together, it can't be stopped (Nuo Haohao).

"When the time comes, Huaili can be broken with a finger.""

Ma Teng exclaimed in horror.

"Zhongda, you are going to burn the city!

We have prepared tens of thousands until the rocket is completely able to start a fire in the city!

It's not easy to burn the city with so many rockets in these all wooden houses.

And the price is that, whether Cao's army, food, grass, or even the people in this city will suffer greatly.

Ma Teng watched Sima Yi fall into contemplation and struggle with himself.

No wonder Sima Yi said that this tactic would hurt his reputation. This is a massacre.

He looked at Sima Yi and asked with hesitation.

"How long would it take to break the city without this plan? 99

Sima Yi stared at him and sighed.

"It depends on the grain and baggage in the city.

"I'm afraid it will take at least seven days"

Hearing this, Ma Teng was completely stunned, doesn't he think that his army of 100,000 people can't break the city again?

How could this Hao Zhao have such ability?

He took a deep breath, now Xiliang can't wait so long.

Seven days, seven days were enough time for Cao Jun to come to the rescue.

Soon he made up his mind.

Ma Teng looked at Sima Yi and nodded.

"Never wait seven days!"

"According to what you said, I immediately ordered people to rectify the soldiers!

Sima Yi let out a light laugh and said with a respectful bow.

"Then congratulations to the lord for winning the city of Huaili!"

Hearing Sima Yi's congratulations, and thinking that he was able to win Huaili, Ma Teng seemed to have less grudges in his heart.

What about the reputation? As long as you can win this city and go directly to Luoyang, this Sizhou can be all in your pocket. What kind of reputation will you need then?
