A day after Cao Ren's attack, if it weren't for Zhang Yu, the casualties would have been quite large, I'm afraid he wouldn't have continued to attack.

After a day's attack, although the casualties on both sides were not very different from expected, Cao Ren still felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect anything to be wrong.

In the evening, Cao Ren did not continue the attack, but began to think about the battle during the day, and at the same time wrote to Cao Cao to report the situation.

After a night, Cao Ren started to attack again, and after thinking about it for a long time last night, he didn't find anything, so he could only continue to attack.

The next day, the offensive continued, and more than 100,000 troops lined up, majestic.

Cao Ren again ordered the attack.

This time he reconfigured his forces.

In front of them, the sword and shield soldiers were still preparing to climb the city, but there were more archers around.

At the same time, Cao Ren was also more clever and scattered the archers apart.

There are naturally advantages to spreading out, but there are also disadvantages, the advantage is that the loss will not be so large when hit, and the disadvantage is that the attack is relatively weak.

Zhang Yu saw it very clearly from the city, and Cao Ren dispersed his forces to reduce casualties.

Gao Shun didn't seem to be affected by these and didn't change any arrangement.

The offensive and defensive battle continued, and Cao Ren commanded the army to storm the city walls again.

At the beginning of the war, Cao Ren's army continued to attack.

Although Gao Shun's arrangement has not changed, he has made a key attack.

Attack continuously in one position, so that Cao's follow-up soldiers and horses cannot support it, and then annihilate the army under the city.

It is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers, Gao Shun used this method to empty Cao Jun's army, which can also affect their military morale.

In this way, in terms of casualties, Zhang Yu and the others did not take much advantage, because the other armies that were not hit could continue to attack the city.

However, this does not affect the effect of Gao Shun's attack.

First of all, the elimination of the enemy in a structured way can greatly weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness, and the other is that it can damage the enemy's morale.

When the army is wiped out in such a system, everyone can see it, and some people will shrink and stagnate, and even if they go forward to kill the enemy, they will be afraid.

"Good, good kill." Zhang Yu applauded at the head of the city.

Dian Wei on the side squinted, a little absent-minded.

"Lord, if only we brought cavalry, we will directly assault out, kill the opponent's formation, and capture the generals." Dian Wei said angrily.

Zhang Yu continued to look at the battlefield, ignoring Dian Wei's chatter, he was a militant, but this time he didn't have a chance to fight.

Zhang Yu looked at the battlefield, and Cao Ren did not change his strategy, because he found that Zhang Yu and their losses were not small.

Cao Ren made the connection of the various armies tighter, and when he found that he was hit by a key attack, he immediately sent troops over to support.

Cao Ren changed, and Gao Shun also changed.

When Cao Ren attacked, Gao Shun ordered a part of his soldiers to defend with all his might, then the archers attacked some of the archers to suppress the opponent, and then some of them leaned out of the city to attack the siege team below.

Some of the siege teams under the city took ladders, and some followed behind to prepare to climb the city, they did not carry shields, and it was inconvenient to climb the city with shields, so they suffered great casualties at once.

"Damn."

Cao Ren watched from afar, and his soldiers and horses were emptied again.

A large number of archers suddenly emerged from the city, and then swept away their attacking ranks.

The archers who were able to attack these people were all suppressed by Gao Shun, so the archers who poked their heads out to attack this time had enough time to aim.

In fact, aiming is only a moment, but this is enough, you can't aim accurately, as long as there are enough of them.

Cao Ren's heart is stuffed, and it seems that he is destined to only be filled with human life.

The day's battle ended again, this time Cao Ren lost more than 7,000 people, and Zhang Yu and the others also lost more than 3,000 people.

It is quite normal for the besieging side to suffer more than twice as many casualties as the defending side.

But the generals on both sides felt that it was abnormal.

Cao Ren and his army pressed the border, and they were fully prepared, all kinds of siege equipment were complete, and they brought elite soldiers, so Cao Ren couldn't accept such a big casualty.

At the same time, Gao Shun was also dissatisfied with the casualties, and if it were all his army, Gao Shun was confident that he would reduce the casualties by half.

Cao Cao, who was in Xiapi, suffered more than 10,000 casualties in a one-day attack.

He received Cao Ren's report in the big tent.

"This Zhang Yu is really difficult to deal with." Cao Cao, who received the news, said.

To attack Xipi, Xiao Pei is indeed very important, only by taking Xiao Pei, Cao Cao and they can attack with peace of mind.

If Xiao Pei is there, then Cao Cao and they will not be able to attack with peace of mind, at least at night they will send a large number of troops to defend themselves, afraid that the two sides will echo each other and attack their army.

Cao Cao thought about it and asked Cheng Yu to come over.

After a while, Cheng Yu came over, and Cao Cao said: "Zhongde, if you go to Zixiaona, you must take Xiaopei as soon as possible." ”

Cheng Yu received the order and went to Cao Ren that night.

Cheng Yulai first learned about the situation.

Then the next day the offensive began.

This time, Cao Ren and Cheng Yu formulated a plan, that is, to command separately and attack the four gates together.

"Zhongde is a talent, and he found a problem as soon as he came." Cao Ren said admiringly.

"The defenders of the other side are powerful, but this requires the generals to have superb command, and they must not have so many powerful generals." Cheng Yu said.

In fact, this is indeed the case, Zhang Yu brought Gao Shun and Dian Wei.

Gao Shun is powerful, but Dian Wei can't, let Dian Wei charge into battle, it's no problem at all, let him command this kind of fine offensive and defensive battle, Dian Wei is definitely not good.

Cao's army re-attacked, this time there was no distinction between primary and secondary, and the four gates attacked together.

This siege method is not the mainstream siege method, and it is generally divided into priorities, but this time it was not.

The four doors attacked together, and Gao Shun alone couldn't command it immediately.

Zhang Yu went to a city wall alone to command the battle.

A big battle broke out between the two sides.

Cao's offensive was very fierce.

Dian Wei was also sent to a city wall, but Dian Wei did not go to command the battle, but to deal with emergencies.

"Cao Jun still has capable people, and we will soon find out that we are good soldiers, but there are not enough generals." Zhang Yu commanded on the one hand and evaluated Cao Jun on the other.

After half a day of fighting, the two city walls suffered great losses, and Zhang Yu had no more good ways, so he could only run back and forth, trying to take care of it.

One day the battle ended, and both sides began to count their battle losses.

On this day, Zhang Yu and their pressure were relatively high.

After the statistics were out, the losses amounted to more than 7,000 people.

However, Cao Jun also suffered great losses, and the battle losses were still more than twice that of Zhang Yu and them.

It's just that this time Zhang Yu and their elite soldiers also lost a lot.

"Zhongde, your method is really good, if you attack like this for a few more days, Zhang Yu and they will definitely not be able to hold it." Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao and they have a lot of troops and can afford to spend them, and they plan to use this method to consume Zhang Yu and them.

Zhang Yu also saw the problem, and if it went on like this, Zhang Yu and they would be able to hold out for about seven or eight days at most.

The main reason is that Xiaopei Chengchi is too low, otherwise Zhang Yu and they have the confidence to hold on for a few months.
