When Zhang Liao ordered to besiege Ruyang, Gao Shun had captured two cities in succession in the east of Runan, and saw that only the last city left by Chengfu was close at hand, and then the reinforcements from the other side of the mountain were late, and the person who came was not Cao Ang, but the 4,000 infantry army led by Han Hao, a subordinate of Xiahou Dun of Sishan City on the other side of the mountain.

Han Hao first arrived, standing on the city to watch the enemy formation from a distance, and at a cursory glance, he knew that the valley was a geographical advantage for the Cao clan, restricting 'Zhang Liao' from using a large army to spread out the strong siege of the city. asked Li Dian about the situation, and his heart was even more excited...... For several days, the Yan army's siege of the city had become a certainty, and it seemed that they did not dare to attack out of the city, so they did not care about it with great fanfare.

"Brother Man Cheng, now there are more than 6,000 soldiers in our department, and the enemy's front line is only a few thousand people. Han Hao's eyes lit up as he said this.

What achievements a person can make depends on what kind of talent he has, but more importantly, it also depends on what position he is in. Han Hao is a native of Hanoi, in his early years, because he lived in the countryside with many mountains and rivers, and there were the most thieves, he caught up with the chaos in the world, because of his courage and prestige, he gathered rural rangers and young people to protect the county, so he entered the eyes of Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, and was engaged in the county. Later, during the Dong period, the princes of Kwantung raised troops to fight in the west, and he and Wang Kuang led the troops to join the alliance and commanded Wang Kuang's subordinates to Taishan and crossbows. Dong Zhuo captured his uncle Du Yang and threatened Han Hao to surrender and defect, but Han Hao did not comply, so he became well-known.

Yuan Shu made him a cavalry captain, and Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahoudun also visited him personally and asked him to accompany him as his general.

Later, when Yanzhou Chen Gong defected, Xiahoudun was captured by the rebellious generals, and Han Hao said the sentence, 'Will I let you do whatever you want because of a general?' 'Showing its strength. Since then, Xiahoudun has been in charge of all the places, and Han Hao has been in charge of political affairs, and together with Zaoyi, he suggested that Cao Cao initiate Tuntian, which was his greatest achievement in Yanzhou.

Han Hao's talent is extremely high and his temperament is fierce, this time Xiahoudun sent him to help his father, in order to let him defend the city of his father, the city is in the people!

He saw the opportunity to attack, so he negotiated with Li Dian and went out of the city to fight together. Li Dian asked, "When does General Yuanji think he will attack?" ”

"Tonight!"

Although Han Hao's brigade of soldiers and horses galloped for three days, and it was only enough to rest for half a day when they entered the city, Han Hao knew that the fighter plane was at this time, and said: "If you delay time, the enemy will see that the reinforcements have arrived, and I am afraid that something will happen." ”

As soon as the two of them pressed the strategy of night attack, a soldier on the city wall shouted: "General, the enemy army is attacking the city!" ”

In fact, there was no need to report, and with the soldiers on the watchtower shouting, the terrifying screams of the stone bullets were already in the ears, and then there was a roaring sound.

Three stone bullets smashed on the wall of the city, causing a huge vibration of the thick wooden wall, one of which smashed on the top of the wall and directly broke the giant wood on the wall, and the burst of wood chips caused a miserable cry at the head of the city. The remaining stone bullets fell on the city, and in the blink of an eye, the roof tiles flew over, the barracks collapsed, and people everywhere turned on their backs.

Han Hao, who had never been subjected to such a battle, was almost stunned on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, such a situation had become around him, which made him even more determined to attack and destroy the Yan Army's stone cannon at night.

On the contrary, Li Dian was already accustomed to this, and at the risk of stone cannon bombardment, he let the wall open the wall and shouted to the guards of the watchtower: "How far is the enemy army!" ”

The soldier on the watchtower replied loudly: "Four hundred steps!" ”

Li Dian waved his hand suddenly, and the archers under the wall, who were no longer afraid of stone cannons due to habit, quickly lined up, stuck arrows at their feet, and pulled their bows to open the strings.

"Three hundred steps, put!"

The watchtower soldiers waved their flags, and the archers fired arrows in unison, and although they could not see the enemy troops outside the wall, they could also hear the footsteps of the huge military formation not far away, and they were getting closer and closer. Hundreds of feathered arrows whipped in the air, almost without stopping, and the archers quickly grabbed the feathered arrows from the ground and wound them again, firing another volley with the command.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the archers in the city died down. Quickly drawing the bow and firing it, especially the heavy bow used in wartime, is extremely demanding on people's strength, even if the archer is generally equipped with a bone and iron hammer buckled on the thumb, it will also make the arm sore.

And between the three arrows, the enemy army at the front has already rushed through the place where three hundred paces can be shot, and staying here to shoot arrows is not only not beneficial, but is likely to be injured by the enemy's feather arrows...... The walls of the fortress were not high. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. It's the same in battle, where there is not much difference between bows and crossbows and the city walls are not too high, and the Cao army can shoot the Yan army, it often means that the Yan army can also shoot the Cao army.

Taking advantage of the sparse flying stones, Li Dian jumped on the walled wall to look out of the city, and couldn't help but be disappointed.

With the previous lesson, the Yan army had already removed the traps when they tried to attack the city, either laying wooden planks or putting up shelves, and equipped the besieging army with many wooden shields, and the three rounds of arrow rain did not cause obvious casualties to the enemy's charging formation.

There were even Yan soldiers who directly spread the ladder on the ground, stepped on the ladder and rushed to the city, the pit failed, and the short-handed encounter was inevitable.

Li Dian shouted and said to the soldiers and horses: "Bow and crossbow hands go up the city to meet the enemy army!" ”

After that, he also glanced back at Han Hao from afar. Han Hao understood the meaning of Li Dian's eyes, which was to ask him to call back the sergeants in his camp...... Tonight is their chance to fight, and this siege battle will still depend on them, the defenders of the Father, to defend themselves. Now, if Han Hao's troops and horses go into battle, although they can stop the enemy army faster, it will inevitably expose the fact that they have received reinforcements.

If the Yan army had been prepared, the failure of the night attack would have been an even greater loss.

What's more, at the moment, Han Hao's subordinates don't have much combat power, and they are marching hundreds of miles, and the army is stationed in Chengfu, and there are still nearly a thousand troops behind him. Such an army, do not let them rest, who dares to throw them into battle.

Under the city, accompanied by the high-pitched Yan's drum music, the Yan soldiers charged bravely, and every few steps of the sergeants stopped and fired arrows towards the city, for a time it was also a rain of arrows, but at the same time, there were also running soldiers who were shot over by stray arrows at every moment, roaring and charging and dancing with wails.

After the heavy formation, the ten stone cannons finally bombarded the stone shells at the same time, and then the soldiers did not even observe the hit position of the stone shells as usual, so they no longer bothered with the stone cannons, but gathered more soldiers to carry the earth on their backs, and took the opportunity of the soldiers to attack the city to pile up earthwork and arrange arrow platforms in the stone artillery, that is, about 150 steps of the city.

This is only a tentative attack, but if you take this opportunity to set up an arrow tower outside the city...... Gao Shun looked at the city, "What can you take to defend it!" ”
