As the morning sun rose, tens of thousands of Yuan troops lined up in formation not far from the high wall of Cao's army.

At the front of the large array, hundreds of ladders were lined up, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, holding big shields and short spears, had straight waists, staring at the high wall in front of them.

Riding on horseback, Zhang He stood in the Chinese army.

Behind him was the wall he had ordered his soldiers to erect,

Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with the high wall, but after the leader came, Yuan Shao used the high wall to stand on it and watch the battle.

Ahead is the high wall of Cao's army.

Sandwiched between two walls, Zhang He also felt very ironic.

The army he led was like minced meat wrapped in dough, waiting for a few bites to wipe them out in the stomach.

Staring at Cao Jun's high wall, Zhang He slowly raised his arm.

He felt that his arm was unusually heavy, and after lifting it, he couldn't press it down after a long time.

Standing on the wall, looking at the army led by Zhang He from a distance, seeing that the army was in formation, but did not launch an attack for a long time, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Zhang He, who raised his arm high, was in an unusually complicated mood at this time.

The Cao army on the high wall in front of him is very strong, and his morale is now much higher than that of Yuan Jun.

Ordering the soldiers to attack undoubtedly drove many soldiers to the slaughter field.

Of course, it was not the soldiers under his command who were slaughtered, but the Cao army on the high wall opposite!

But if he didn't give the order to attack, Yuan Shao behind him was urging him very tightly, and he would definitely be arrested for disobeying military orders.

It's still a trivial matter to arrest him, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will be angry and will order his head to be cut off.

After leading the army for several years, Zhang He was not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but he absolutely could not accept being tied up and bound by people to go to the entrance of the market to ask for beheading.

"Kill!" Finally, Zhang He's heart tightened, and he pressed his arm down.

As he pressed his arm, the drums of war in the army immediately began to beat.

The sound of the "dong dong" drum shook the eardrums of every Yuan army soldier in the big array, and all the Yuan army soldiers stared at the Cao army high wall opposite, and let out a shout in unison.

Yuan Jun, who was standing next to the siege ladder, lifted the siege ladder, held his shield, and marched towards the high wall with neat steps.

The heavy infantry in the phalanx, after the siege ladder set off, also lined up in a neat queue and advanced towards the high wall garrisoned by Cao's army.

On the high wall, the archers of the Cao army had already placed their arrows on the bowstring, aiming at the large array of Yuan's army that was marching towards them.

A pair of sharp eyes stared at Yuan Jun, and sharp arrows aimed at the soldiers in Yuan Jun's large array.

Inside the high walls of Cao Jun, in Cao Cao's handsome tent.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia sat facing each other, and there was a low table in front of each of them, and on the low table, there was just warm wine syrup.

There were bursts of noisy war drums outside the tent, Cao Cao lowered his eyes, picked up the wine bottle on the low table, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao is not bad, then Yuan Shao really sent troops to attack our army!" ”

"If Yuan Shao advances in a big way, his number is far greater than that of our army!" Facing Cao Cao, Guo Jia also picked up the wine bottle, gently shook the wine in the bottle twice, and said: "Our army's defense must be difficult!" ”

After taking a sip of wine, Cao Cao put the wine bottle on the low table, twisted his beard in his hand, smiled, and did not speak.

"But that Yuan Shao, what a great achievement!" After taking a sip of the wine in the bottle, Guo Jia also put down the wine bottle and said to Cao Cao: "Order Zhang He to lead the army to attack our army, our army is superior to Zhang He in number, and there is a high wall as a screen!" Even if Yuan Jun tried his best, it would definitely be difficult to climb the wall. Ming Gong only needs to sit and wait for our army to win! ”

Turning his head to look at the curtain, Cao Cao didn't say anything, but his face showed a touch of smugness.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia were drinking in the tent, and the soldiers of the Cao army on the high wall did not dare to slack off at this time.

The Yuan army's large array was advancing forward, and seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the high wall built by the Cao army, the archers of the Cao army on the wall also filled the bowstrings one after another.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Yuan army finally advanced to the range of the Cao army's bow and arrows, and a Cao army officer on the high wall shouted loudly and gave the order to release the arrows.

With the officer's order, all the Cao archers loosened their bowstrings.

Arrows were wrapped in strong wind and flew towards the advancing Yuan army.

Yuan Jun, who was carrying the siege ladder, accelerated a lot of speed under his feet when Cao Jun shot arrows, turning from walking to running.

The arrows that flew down from the high wall covered Yuan Jun in pieces.

Yuan Jun, who was carrying the siege ladder, held a shield, hid his body behind the big shield, and rushed to the root of the wall by taking advantage of the shield to cover it.

Pieces of arrows fell, and although the soldiers of the Yuan army all held shields in their hands, many of them were still shot by Cao Jun's feather arrows and fell on the way to the charge.

The heavy infantry formation of Yuan's army, which was advancing forward, advanced to a place only twenty or thirty paces away from the high wall and stopped.

When the heavy infantry formation stopped, the archers who had long been caught in the large array stood up one after another and fired a rain of arrows at the Cao army on the wall.

The arrows of both sides flew against each other, staggering towards their enemies.

Although the archers in the Yuan army's large array were shielded by the big shield to avoid being shot by arrows, when they stood up and fired arrows, they still couldn't avoid many people being shot by Cao Jun's feather arrows.

The archers of the Yuan army in the big array, under the rain of arrows of the Cao army, fell in pieces, and the Cao army on the wall, although some people were also shot by arrows, but the casualties were much less than those of the Yuan army.

Yuan Jun, who was carrying the siege ladder, rushed to the base of the wall and put the siege ladders on the wall one by one.

The siege ladder was set up on the wall, and Cao Jun, who was guarding it, immediately brought stones and threw them downward, smashing Yuan Jun who were climbing upwards from the ladder.

Some Cao army archers, when the Yuan army set up the siege ladder on the wall, also took advantage of the battlements at the wall to protect them, and shot arrows at the Yuan army below.

Arrows shot straight from the top of the head are no more powerful than arrows flying diagonally.

The Yuan army below withstood the attack of the archers of the Cao army, holding shields one by one, but they did not drink the rain of arrows and poured down, suffering too many casualties.

Under the walls and walls, shouts of killing shook the sky.

The momentum of the soldiers of the Yuan army attacking the wall was extremely fierce, and the Cao army on the wall was also extremely brave in battle.

The battle had just begun, and the corners of the walls were already covered with Yuan Jun's corpses.

The Cao army on the wall suffered from the fierce attack of the Yuan army, and the casualties were not small, but compared with the Yuan army, their casualties were almost negligible.

Zhang He, who led the army to attack, looked at the battle on the other side of the high wall from afar, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.

Before the battle began, Zhang He already knew the final result, but he couldn't help it.

Yuan Shao has already given a death order, if he doesn't do that, what awaits him must be strict military law.

After doing so, Zhang He still has no bottom in his heart.

With Yuan Shao's temperament, as long as he loses this battle, Yuan Shao will definitely not spare him!

But if he wants to break through the high wall with an army smaller than Cao's army, Zhang He knows that it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The attack continued, and the soldiers of the Yuan army who attacked the Cao army climbed the siege ladder one by one, but under the counterattack of the Cao army, they fell from the ladder like dumplings.

The battlefield was filled with the shouts of soldiers and the screams of the wounded.

Looking at the battlefield where he was fighting, Zhang He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

In the defense line of the Yuan army behind Zhang He, Yuan Shao stood on the high wall, listening to the shouts of killing in the distance, and the corners of his mouth always had a faint smile.

"Yuan Gong!" Standing beside Yuan Shao, the judge clenched his fists and bowed to him and said: "Zhang He led the army to attack Cao Cao, and the killing was fierce, but there were really too few soldiers and horses under his command!" ”

"Soldiers are more valuable, not more!" Tilting his face slightly, Yuan Shao said to the judge with a full of ambition: "I, Hebei, have been many generous and tragic people since ancient times, and Cao Jun is just a few people, how can I be the opponent of Hebei warriors?" ”

Yuan Shao's words came out, and the judge didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to bow down with his fists and stand aside.

For the war ahead, the trial is also very worried.

Although the number of Yuan's army is more than Cao's, but with such a method of fighting, I am afraid that Cao's army will eventually defeat Yuan's army.

Earlier, he tried his best to persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Cao Cao, just because Cao Cao had fewer soldiers and Yuan Shao had more soldiers.

But after the war began, he found that Yuan Shao was too confident and repeatedly misused his troops, causing Yuan's army to lose one after another, while Cao's army took the initiative on the battlefield.

Feng Ji on the side listened to the conversation between Yuan Shao and the judge, and did not speak.

Although he and the judge are very incompatible, their thoughts on this matter are the same.

Yuan Shao didn't notice the abnormality in the expressions of the judge and Feng Ji, looking at the direction of the battlefield, he even stroked his beard, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

In the entire Yuan Army, I'm afraid only Yuan Shao has such an expression.

Yuan Xi, who followed Yuan Shao to send troops, stood behind him, looking into the distance, but his face showed the same worry as the trial and discipline.

"Father!" Clenched his fists and bowed, and saluted Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi said to him: "Although Cao's army has few soldiers, the soldiers and horses under the command of General Jun Yi are not as good as Cao Cao. If the whole army wants to attack, our army can only break through the Cao army when the army advances! ”

"Advance aggressively, and the victory will be decided in one battle!" Waving his hand at Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao said to him: "My son is still young, he doesn't know about the war, and he can't speak!" ”

In his early years, he cooperated with Liu Wei to defeat the Black Mountain thieves, and Yuan Xi was also a general who was killed on the battlefield.

Yuan Shao actually said in front of many people that he didn't know about war, Yuan Xi hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, not daring to say more.

There were no different voices around him, Yuan Shao straightened up, looking in the direction of the battlefield, his eyes flashing with a confident brilliance.

But at this time, the soldiers under Zhang He's command, who were attacking Cao's army, were not as confident as him.
