Chapter 186: Battle

Cao Cao was exposed by Guo Jia, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

Who doesn't want to make some extra money when leading troops into battle.

This treasure is not a small amount of savings.

Originally, he just wanted to coerce Wuji County to give in, and took the initiative to send the treasure out, but he didn't plan to really attack the city.

Who would have thought that Guo Jia refused so cleanly, and humiliated him in public.

At this point, the two sides have completely torn their faces.

"Soldiers, Guo Jia harbored the Yellow Turban thieves and regarded them as rebellion. Lay down the city, and everything in it is yours. ”

Cao Cao shouted.

Besiege!

The officers and soldiers shouted excitedly.

I have long heard that Zhongshan is rich, and now that they have Zhang Bao's treasure, how can they not be tempted.

Since Guo Jia doesn't know how to lift, don't blame him for being polite, let's settle the old accounts together today.

Anyway, he knew that there were only 2,000 troops in the city, and there were 4,000 cavalry outside the city, but it was impossible to do anything under the surveillance of his 5,000 cavalry.

The fox's tail is exposed!

A flash of disdain flashed across Guo Jia's face.

Although Cao Apu is also a powerful figure, he is a pile of cannon fodder under the attack of Zhongshan artillery.

"Brothers!"

Guo Jia also yelled.

"What should we do if the officials and soldiers want to rob us?"

him!

The crowd roared in unison.

"yes, fuck it!"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Beat up this bastard Cao Apu to Lao Tzu!" ”

Hit Sho!

The crowd laughed in unison.

In the face of 100,000 yellow scarves, they did not flinch, and now the officials and soldiers are not a problem.

Cao Cao drew his sword and said: "Rush!" ”

The infantry marched, each with his weapon in hand, and slowly rushed forward.

After all, the officers and troops are officers and soldiers, they are strictly disciplined, and all branches of the armed forces cooperate closely, throwing troops from a long distance, attacking troops at close range, and supplying and transporting troops in an orderly manner.

Cao Cao is familiar with the art of war, and he is also very good at leading troops to fight.

Five thousand cavalry lined up on the left and right flanks, beware of the cavalry in Zhongshan, while the infantry set up a position outside the city.

The first to appear is the sword and shield hand of the heavy infantry.

They were clad in armor and armed with large shields, all of which were a man tall, and the combination of several large shields was a small defensive fortress.

The purpose of these people is not to siege the city, but to provide defense for their teammates.

Behind the heavy infantry were small convoys of moats, all pushing wheelbarrows, which were piled high with gravel.

In the middle of the procession stood tall turrets one after another. The four corners of the arrow tower have wheels that can be slowly advanced, and its height is higher than the city wall, and many elite archers are gathered on it.

In addition, this time to attack Quyang, Cao Cao brought dozens of flying stone carts.

These flying stone carts are all things at the bottom of the imperial arsenal, operated by more than a dozen people, capable of throwing heavy objects of twenty or thirty catties, and the range can reach two hundred meters. The range of an ordinary bow and crossbow was less than 100 meters, which was the most powerful long-range throwing tool at that time.

When the flying stone cart entered the firing range, Cao Cao waved his hand violently, and hundreds of people unfolded, ready to start an intensive attack on the city of Wuji County.

It's good to come!

Guo Jia laughed a few times.

"Artillery ready!"

Thirty gun carriages were erectioned at the head of the city, and a hundred gunners were ready.

The larger the carault, the more powerful and ranged it is.

If you talk about the size, the stone-throwing truck in Guo Jia's hand is not comparable to the official army at all.

However, Guo Jia had improved these gun carriages according to the structure of the Hui Hui guns of later generations, making them more complex in structure and with a longer effective range.

Of course, they don't shoot heavy objects either.

Everyone is ready!

The captain of the artillery shouted, and everyone went into battle.

They are also veterans of battle.

"Aim at the opposing catapult position!"

Guo Jia waved his hand fiercely.

Launch!

Whoosh!

Thirty artillery wagons fired a salvo, and thirty crockpot incendiary bombs crossed an arc and flew over the officer's and army's stone-throwing trucks.

This is......

The officers and soldiers all looked up at the crockpots with sparks.

It is not surprising that there are stone-throwing carts on the head of the city, and there are still some things that defend the city as border counties.

But what the Zhongshan soldiers threw out was really strange.

It's not rocks or other heavy objects, it's crockpots.

This crockpot doesn't weigh a few pounds horizontally and vertically, and it has some lethality when it is thrown out.

Could it be that Zhongshan doesn't even have a decent stone?

Just when everyone is wondering.

Thundered!

The crockpots exploded in the air as they fell. Clouds of fire quickly shrouded the air, enveloping everyone and the stone throwers on the ground.

Demon law, demon law!

The officers and soldiers were as pale as the earth, and with their heads where could they figure out why the crockpot exploded?

Cao Cao was also taken aback.

He also didn't understand why the things thrown by the Zhongshan soldiers would explode and catch fire.

However, a traitor is a traitor, and he immediately understood Guo Jia's intentions.

Guo Jia wanted to extinguish his flying stone cart with fire.

"Shift, transfer, move the cart backwards."

Cao Cao yelled and passed down the military order.

The officers and soldiers braved the fire to retreat the stone throwing carts one after another, and then scrambled to extinguish the flames above.

Pity!

Guo Jia at the head of the city sighed secretly.

The official army's catapult had a long range and strong power, so he had to do it in advance, and after a salvo, he did not destroy all the catapults, and he was still rescued by Cao Apu.

This traitorous commander still has a set, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger, but he has the demeanor of a general.

However, in this way, the official army's stone-throwing vehicles were out of range, and they were useless.

Looking at the scattered catapults, Cao Cao's face turned dark and he was very annoyed.

This stone-throwing cart is a killer weapon for the official army to attack the city.

No matter what kind of city it is, after a few rounds of volleys, it will definitely be full of holes.

A big city like Guangzong can't last long, let alone a small city like Wuji County.

But what made Cao Cao angry was that his catapult had not yet begun to exert its strength, and was beaten by Guo Jia's mysterious crockpot.

Although he didn't know what the crockpot Guo Jia projected was, Cao Cao could tell that it was coming towards his catapult.

This thing can start a fire, and once it is burned, the catapult is finished.

Although without the assistance of catapults, Cao Cao was still confident that he could capture Wuji County.

After all, the army in his hands is an elite soldier who has experienced countless battles.

"Assault!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

The vanguard infantry was shocked and slowly advanced against the rain of arrows.

Behind them, ten towering arrow towers were slowly pushed to the front.

The arrow tower is more than three zhang high, and there are three or four floors above, and there are twenty or thirty archers on each floor.

100 people on the first floor and 1,000 people on the 10th floor.

A thousand archers, again condescending. Once pushed to the near part of the city wall, it will have a strong lethal effect on the castle tower.
