Cao Jun, who was carrying the ladder, pounced on the city wall.

Yuan Jun at the head of the city, seeing Cao Jun carrying a cloud ladder rushing up the city wall, immediately turned the direction of the arrow and shot a fluffy feather arrow at Cao Jun who was carrying a cloud ladder.

Cao Jun, who flocked to the city wall, carried a cloud ladder in one hand and a large shield in the other, dodging the arrows falling above his head while rushing to the foot of the city wall.

Although the Cao army in the charge also held a shield, they could not use the shield to form a shield wall like the Cao army in the large array, which was used to cover the arrows falling overhead.

As the rain of arrows fell, patches of Cao's army fell on the way to the charge.

At the same time, the archers in the large array of the Cao army stood up from the array, drew their longbows to the full, and shot a puff of arrows towards the city.

The nets of arrows on both sides were intertwined, and because the archers of the Cao army were more open than the previous arrows, and the frequency of feather arrows was faster, the Yuan army at the head of the city was really suppressed a lot.

Cao Jun, who rushed to the foot of the city wall with a ladder, put the big shield on his head, and supported the ladder on the city wall.

A series of ladders were erected on the edge of the battlements, and the top of the ladders was a few points shorter than the battlements.

Since Cao Jun's ladder was shorter than the battlements, the Yuan army on the city wall could not push the ladder to it at all, so he could only stretch his longbow out of the battlements and shoot arrows at Cao's army who was climbing the city wall.

Cao Jun, who climbed the ladder, held a big shield in his hand and struggled to climb towards the city.

Cao Jun, who was the first to go up the ladder, saw that he was already halfway up the climb, and the Yuan army at the head of the city found that it was difficult for the arrows to stop them from ascending the city, so they picked up the big stones that had been piled up on the city wall and smashed them at the Yuan army under the city.

Heavy stones fell from the top of the city and smashed into Cao's army, who was climbing the ladder.

A soldier of the Cao army, holding a large shield in his hand, was climbing towards the top of the city, and on the city wall above his head, a soldier of the Yuan army lifted a large stone and smashed it down on him.

With the big shield on his head, Cao Jun looked up.

Suddenly he saw a huge stone falling down on him, and his heart was so tight that he couldn't react to dodge at all, and only knew how to use his shield to block the stone.

The stone was not an arrow, and under the force of Yuan Jun's throw and its own weight, it smashed the big shield of the Cao army.

The large wooden shield can withstand the heavy boulders.

only heard a crisp sound of "pop", the shield was smashed and torn apart, and Cao Jun, who was holding the shield, didn't even have time to make a muffled snort, his brain was shattered and he fell down the ladder.

As he fell, several Cao Jun who climbed the ladder behind him were also smashed down the ladder by him.

Cao Jun at the bottom was knocked to the ground by the people above, and he did not fall to the ground with his brain bursting or his vertebrae shattered like those who fell from above.

He sat on the ground, looking up at the top with a stunned face.

At the moment when he raised his head, the boulder that had smashed the soldiers of Cao Jun from the ladder rolled and flew towards him.

Seeing that the big stone was getting closer and closer, and he could almost smell the breath of the stone, the soldier Cao Jun who was sitting on the ground screamed in surprise, twisted his body, and wanted to run when he got up.

But he had barely gotten up, and before he could leap forward, a large rock had already hit the back of his head.

The hard stone smashed into the back of Cao Jun's head, knocking him to the ground.

A bloody hole was smashed out of the back of his head, and after Cao Jun fell to the ground, blood was bubbling from the back of his head, and there was still a little breath.

The stone that hit him rolled and flew forward, and only after knocking down another Cao Jun did it roll to the ground.

The stones fell from the top of the city like raindrops.

As the stones fell, pieces of Cao Jun were smashed down from the ladder, and Cao Jun who was surrounding the foot of the city wall was also smashed to the ground.

The stones that fell from the city wall rained down on Cao Jun, and at the foot of the city wall, Cao Jun's corpses were soon piled up.

The archers of the Cao army, who were lined up a little farther away, saw that the stones smashed by the Yuan army on the city wall caused great casualties to Tongze, who had ascended the city, and also accelerated the speed of shooting feather arrows.

Pieces of feathered arrows flew towards the Yuan army on the head of the city, although they did not cause too many casualties to the Yuan army protected by the city wall, but they also hindered their action of smashing down stones.

A soldier of the Yuan army lifted a stone high and was about to throw it at the city, when an oncoming feathered arrow shot into his heart.

With a feather arrow stuck in his heart, Yuan Jun held the stone, and his body fell straight backwards.

A few soldiers of the Yuan Army behind saw the stones falling, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

The heavy stone smashed against the bluestone slab on the city wall, making a dull sound, and knocking a white mark on the bluestone slab.

Cao Jun shot more and more arrows, and Yuan Jun on the city wall also fell to the ground from time to time, and the Cao army who climbed the city wall was much smaller.

Just as a soldier of the Cao army who had climbed the ladder poked his head out of the battlements and was about to jump to the city wall, the two Yuan soldiers lifted a pot full of boiling oil and turned it towards him.

The hot oil was poured on his face, and Cao Jun's skin and flesh were suddenly half scalded, and he howled miserably and fell from the city.

The boiling oil was poured on his body, splashing everywhere, and even Cao Jun at the foot of the city wall was burned a lot.

More and more Yuan Jun lifted the oil pot and poured it under the city wall, and with the pouring of boiling oil, the scalded Cao Jun howled one by one and fell on the battlefield.

Some of Cao Jun were doused with boiling oil, and the scorching heat instantly scalded them, and after they fell to the ground, they didn't even have a convulsive movement, and they cut off their breath.

More Cao Jun was only splashed on his skin by boiling oil.

The scorching oil did not burn them to death, but it also scalded the flesh and skin on their bodies.

Cao Jun, who was scalded by the boiling oil, let out a terrible howl, and fell to the ground one by one and rolled in pain.

The boiling oil splashed on Cao Jun not only scalded Cao Jun who was climbing the city in pieces, but also soaked the ladder in a piece of greasy.

The greasy ladder was much more difficult to climb than before, and many Cao Jun fell down the ladder due to slipping at the foot of the ladder.

The resistance of the Yuan army caused a lot of trouble to the Cao army, and the siege lasted for nearly an hour, and the Cao army never climbed the city wall for half a step.

Standing in the middle army, watching the Cao army attack the city from a distance, Xiahoudun's one-eyed eyes narrowed slightly.

Because it was night, although he couldn't see clearly how much the Cao army had paid for the siege of the city, he could hear the miserable howls coming from the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Cao army were suffering from the frantic counterattack of the Yuan army.

"Mingjin retreats!" The siege continued with difficulty, and the Cao army never made any achievements, so Xiahoudun turned his head and gave an order to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers who received the order immediately went to convey his order.

However, after a while, there was a crisp sound of gold from the middle army of Cao Jun.

The Cao army, who was struggling to attack the city in front, heard the sound of gold from the Chinese army, and retreated one after another.

At the foot of the city wall, due to the boiling oil poured by Yuan Jun, the ground full of corpses was greasy, and many people slipped and fell to the ground when they retreated.

The Yuan army, who was guarding the city, stopped throwing boulders and pouring boiling oil, and the archers put their arrows on the bowstrings and fired a puff of feathered arrows at the retreating Cao army.

In the night, only pieces of feather arrows could be heard, bringing out the sound of "whooshing" wind, shooting at the retreating Cao army.

The retreating Cao army's large array, maintaining a neat array, shielded the retreat with shields, and slowly retreated backwards.

The Cao army, who climbed the ladder to attack the city, could not form a large formation, they could only fight on their own, holding shields in their hands, and retreated beyond the range of Yuan's arrows.

Cao's army retreated farther and farther, and the arrows shot by the archers of the Yuan army at the head of the city gradually could not reach them.

When Cao's army withdrew beyond the range of Yuan's arrows, Yuan's troops at the head of the city stopped firing arrows.

Holding a long sword and looking at the retreating Cao army, Yuan Tan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yuan Jun's appearance in this battle did not disappoint him, and when the soldiers were fighting, their morale was always high.

If the morale of the soldiers of the Yuan army was based on the earlier battle, the Cao army only had to launch a siege in this battle, and the defenders at the head of the city would be distracted, and it would be impossible to form an effective resistance.

Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiahou Dun, who led the Cao army to attack the city, was full of boredom.

Judging from the repeated defeats of the Yuan army, they should have a deep fear of Cao Jun.

But in this battle, Yuan Jun's appearance was beyond his expectations.

The soldiers besieged the city for more than an hour, and suffered countless losses, and many of the Cao troops who were besieging the city fell to the ground after withdrawing, seeing that it was impossible to survive anymore.

Tightly locking his brows, Xiahoudun's single eye flashed with a fierce light, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, the whole army will camp immediately, and tomorrow morning, attack the city again!" ”

"No!" The soldiers responded, turned around the war horse, and galloped in the army, while conveying Xiahoudun's order to the soldiers: "The general has an order, camp immediately, and attack the city again tomorrow morning!" ”

A siege battle suffered countless losses, and the soldiers of the Cao army heard that they would attack the city early tomorrow morning, and their faces showed a blank look.

Although the Yuan army defending the city was no more than 10,000 people, the Cao army that came to attack the city was only 10,000.

The contrast between the forces of the two sides is not very large, and in the face of the high morale of the Yuan army, the Cao army forcibly attacked the city, and the possibility of success is very small.

But Xiahoudun had already given an order, and the soldiers of the Cao army did not dare to complain, and soon began to set up a camp a little farther away from the city wall.

The wounded Cao soldiers did not participate in the camp, the lightly wounded sat on the ground, turning their heads to watch the Tongze people set up their tents, while the seriously wounded lay flat on the cold ground, and many would let out a miserable moan or two from time to time.

After days of fighting, Cao's army, which had always been smooth sailing, finally suffered the heaviest casualties they had suffered in many days under the city of Liyang.
