The next day, the Fourth Route Army came to the city.

The catapults were nervously assembled, the rushing cars used to hit the city gates followed, and various wells for climbing and looking out were lined up, and the tense atmosphere before the war was in Changsha City.

By noon, the catapult was ready. Cai Mao personally climbed the well and looked at the city of Changsha from afar. I saw the figure of the head of the city, and I don't know how many people were nervously preparing for war, carrying various props to defend the city, such as wooden rolling stones.

Cai Mao smiled indifferently and immediately ordered the catapult to launch a strike.

At the sound of an order, 300 catapults were launched at the four gates of the south, east, and northwest at the same time. Countless stone bullets rained down on the city of Changsha. It can only be seen with the naked eye, and the head of Changsha City is in chaos, and I don't know how many people were killed and injured by stone bullets.

Cai Mao and the three Taishou can also be regarded as having invested enough. The three hundred catapults barely paused for a moment. It wasn't until more than an hour later that the stone shells ran out, and the four-way army attacked.

Groups of Pu Dao soldiers guarded the heavy rushing carts like worker bees around the queen bees, slowly approaching the city gate. Approaching more than 100 steps from the city, arrows flew from the city. As time went on, the arrows became more and more dense, and it was clear that the defenders of the city had woken up from the chaos and began an organized counterattack.

The Pak Dao soldiers immediately raised their shields to block their heads, and rushed straight to the city gate with a firm cover. After a while, the rushing car got closer and closer to the city gate, and the city head immediately smashed all kinds of wooden rolling stones, tenaciously preventing the rushing car with strong destructive power to the city gate from approaching the city gate.

At the cost of three rushing cars, one of them finally arrived at the city gate. Under the cover of the Pu Dao soldiers, the chariot was quickly pulled by the soldiers and pulled the winch. The thick stake slowly shrank back, and then the winch was released. A stake sharpened at the top slammed into the city gate.

The city gate shook and was crumbling. When the rush was ready again, there were obvious signs of collision on the iron-clad city gate outside.

"Okay." Cai Mao was so excited when she saw the car from afar, and then realized that she seemed to have forgotten the ultimate goal. If you attack Changsha City now, wouldn't it be a one-shot deal, and it would not be able to achieve the goal of consuming the strength of Sun Jian's army at all?

Cai Mao was a little dumbfounded. This script is not right.

Changsha County is a large county. Changsha City also belongs to the big city, and there is no reason to behave so weakly just when the siege has just begun. But the facts in front of him are clearly showing that Changsha City is like a little girl who has no power to fight back.

Go on? Or take it easy?

Cai Mao was a little crazy, and the whole person was not good. Could it be that everyone thinks too much, and King Zhuya is not as magical as rumored? Otherwise, how to explain the scene in front of you?

The other three city gates also had such a strange scene. The three Taishou were dumbfounded. This is not yet the time for a full-scale general attack, why is Changsha City about to be taken?

There was a short circuit in the minds of the four coaches at the same time. The rushing car did not stop, and bombarded the heavy and sturdy city gate again and again. With each bombardment, the gates were crumbling and looking like they were about to be destroyed.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of wood breaking, and the morale of the besieging soldiers was immediately high. One by one, the Pu sword soldiers desperately held their shields to block the arrows shot from the city's heads, as well as the rolling stones of the sandalwood that were thrown. The rest of the troops, such as the pikemen, desperately climbed the ladder and launched a fierce assault on the city.

Victory was at hand, and every soldier went into madness.

At this time, Cai Mao came back to her senses and saw the increasingly crazy siege, completely helpless. He is not a vain person, and he knows that if Mingjin withdraws his troops at this time, it will inevitably seriously affect the morale of the whole army, and if he doesn't do well, he will have to be overturned. But if you don't retreat now, when you break through the city gate, how can you implement Liu Biao's plan?

Just when Cai Mao was too entangled, there was a loud bang and he rushed to complete his mission. The sturdy and heavy city gate was torn apart and collapsed, revealing the panicked Changsha defenders behind them.

"Drumming." Cai Mao saw the city gate breached, and immediately did not dare to continue to entangle, and immediately ordered the drum to be sounded and launched the final general attack.

The thunderous beat of drums resounded across the battlefield. The morale of the Xiangyang army was high, and they rushed to the city gate desperately, forcing the Changsha defenders to retreat one after another, and soon a blank space was opened.

At the same time, three other gates were breached. The three Taishou heard the sound of the earth-shattering drums coming from Cai Mao's side, so they had to temporarily forget Liu Biao's plan to encircle and send reinforcements, and ordered a general attack.

"Kill!"

The four-way army desperately entered the city gate, followed by the breakthrough of the urn city, and entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, the soldiers and horses of the four roads were immediately stunned. There are few soldiers and horses in Changsha City, and only a few remnants of soldiers are seen holding their heads and running around.

Witnessing such a strange and bizarre scene, the soldiers and horses of the four routes did not dare to move, and formed formations at the city gates one after another to guard against the counterattack of the defenders of Changsha.

Cai Mao, who hurried to hear the news, entered the city with a cloudy and uncertain face. The strange scene in front of him was completely beyond his imagination. The original Changsha garrison and the 20,000 soldiers and horses galloping to the aid seemed to have disappeared without a trace overnight, as if they had never existed.

Out of caution, Cai Mao did not dare to act rashly, and even had an urge to simply station at the city gate. Guarding the four city gates horizontally and vertically, even if those strangely disappeared soldiers and horses hid somewhere, they couldn't escape from Changsha City.

"Report, Wang Taishou is worried about fraud, so he came to ask the military advisor."

"Report, Shen Taishou is worried about fraud, so he came to ask the military advisor."

"Report, Yu Taishou is worried about fraud, so he came to ask the military advisor."

After three reports in a row, the same strange situation appeared in the other three gates. The three Taishou did not dare to act rashly, and they all sent people to ask for advice. This can roast Cai Mao on the fire.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Cai Mao is also a celebrity in Xiangyang, Yunwen Yunwu, naturally he will not be careless. But now it's like finding a young lady, and the clothes are all off, but he notices that the other party seems to have some kind of terminal illness, and he can't go up or down, which makes him uncomfortable.

After struggling for a long time, Cai Mao suddenly relaxed, and immediately ordered: "I'm afraid there is fraud, withdraw." ”

The city is weird, and the whole army is in a dilemma. There was just an excuse to withdraw the army and continue to implement Liu Biao's plan to unite many Jingxiang celebrities. Thinking like this, Cai Mao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The order was transmitted to the other three gates, and the three Taishou were relieved and ordered to withdraw their troops one after another. The excuse given by Cai Mao is also very reasonable, and the absurd move of breaking through the city gate but retreating did not make the morale of the whole army drop too outrageously.

The four-way army slowly retreated.

……

"Withdrawn?" Lu Yao sat in the Taishou Mansion and got a report from the school, which was a little surprised.

got the 20,000 reinforcements brought by Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, and he planned to repeat the scene of burning Luoyang. However, considering that there were many people in the city, including 300,000 people belonging to him, he did not plan to burn the city, but used the Qiankun array to hide the defenders of Changsha, and took advantage of the situation when the Fourth Route Army went deep into the city to lead the army to counterattack.

Hengzhu Sun Jian planned to give up Changsha, so it was better to use it to set a big trap to destroy the four-way army. It's a pity that the success fell short, he didn't expect Cai Mao and the other three Taishou to have another purpose, so they didn't go deep into the city and withdrew directly.

Lu Yao smiled faintly, and while sending a private message to Cangyue, he ordered: "Order, the whole army will attack." ”
