Xiahou Dun's attack on the Han army's village had reached an almost crazy state. At this time, Xiahou Dun had already received the news that the Yedu City was broken. He launched a desperate attack on the Han army like a wild beast about to be trapped to death.

At noon, Cao's army, located on the east side of the military camp, launched another crazy siege. The commander of Cao's army, Xiahou Dun, personally led the Wan Dajun to attack. Not only was there a ramp on the east side of the military camp, but the hills were also slightly lower. It could be climbed with a local siege ladder. In addition, the terrain on the east side was flat and wide, and the attack formation could be arranged.

Following the army's attack, there were several siege ladders made of large trees. Xiahou Dun had already made all his gambles and sent out the most elite soldiers.

The ten thousand army was arranged into five square formations, each of which was separated by steps, like five huge black carpets, rising and falling on the earth, and the army was soaring to the sky. They gradually moved closer to the hills from two miles away, gathering into an ocean of army. The drums were like thunder, the trumpets were connected to the sky, the flags covered the sky, the spears were like forests, and the shields were like mountains, and the black of death appeared under the sunlight.

Xiahou Dun rode on the war horse, pointed at the city with a sword, shouting: "Go forward!"

“Woo~~”

The sound of low trumpets resounded throughout the world, and more than a dozen rough wooden doumen were erected in the middle of the Cao army, which was used to resist the flying stones of the Han army. Accompanied by the huge sound of wheels under the wooden doumen and several siege ladders, the team began to slowly fight towards the hills.

The Han army camp also made loud drums, and the general Jiang Qin's eyes were red and roared repeatedly. Although the Cao army mainly attacked the east, the Han king Liu Jing did not add a defender to him, and he still had only 10,000 people under him, which put great pressure on him.

The ten giant catapults creaked away, and the black catapults stood on the hills, like ten monsters. The huge rocks weighing pounds were put into the bullet pocket. The rest of the people pulled twenty belts as thick as arms, waiting for the order to fire.

In the middle of the catapult were seven thousand crossbowmen. They were half kneeling on the ground, listed as platoons, and aimed at Cao's army as they were getting closer and closer.

Behind the crossbowmen were thousands of bowmen, holding long bows and big arrows, four-foot-long thick arrows had already been placed on the bowstrings, and the sharp arrows were streamlined, with bloodletting grooves on all sides, and the cold arrow tips pointed to the sky.

The enemy had gradually entered the range of the catapult. Jiang Qin issued a shooting order. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Shoot!"

The red flag was waved, and the troops fought hard. The long arms of ten monsters were swung out, and ten huge rocks flew into the air, roaring towards the hills.

Cao's soldiers shouted and hid in Dou Meng, but there were still a large number of soldiers who had nowhere to hide. They shouted and dodged everywhere. The huge rocks hit, and there was a loud "bang!" and the dust was flying. Several soldiers could not dodge and were smashed into meat sauce by the huge rocks. The remaining strength of the huge rocks continued to roll forward, knocking dozens of people in a row before stopping.

A huge rock hit Dou Meng, and a loud "crack" sound. Dou Meng was smashed. The soldier rolled and crawled out from below, but the stone was bounced back by Dou Meng, and then bounced forward for more than twenty steps, rushed into the crowd, and screams rang out.

Although the Han army's catapult brought nearly a thousand casualties to the Cao army, it could not stop the attack of more than ten thousand troops. As the drums urging war in the rear formation of Cao army accelerated, the soldiers began to run, and tens of thousands of Cao army soldiers rushed towards the hills like ants.

The drum sounded again, and the Han army's arrows were fired together. The dense arrows shot towards the running Cao army soldiers like a storm. The soldiers were shot by the arrows and fell to the ground with screams...

Liu Jing stood on the sentry tower and watched the Cao army's attack coldly. He did not take the attack of Cao army soldiers seriously. Even if Cao army attacked the hills, what could it be? Can he defeat himself and restore the Cao Wei country?

This is just Xiahou Dun's trapped beasts still fighting. In the past seven days of fierce fighting, Cao's army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, while Han army suffered less than 1,000 casualties, and the military strength comparison has become unbalanced.

More importantly, Liu Jing saw that the morale of Cao's army gradually faded. Now the troops attacking were the most elite army of Cao's army. What does this mean? Xiahou Dun was making a desperate bet.

Liu Jing gave Zhao Yun the order to break through Yedu. He believed in Zhao Yun's ability. In terms of time, Yedu should have been broken two days ago.

Then Xiahou Dun's attack was the last struggle. Thinking of this, Liu Jing turned around and ordered: "Order Xu Sheng to lead 8,000 spearheads to support the defense!"

"Abide by the order!" The soldier ran down the post.

The dead bodies in the Dongshangang quickly piled up, blood flowing through the city and rivers, seeping out of the piles of corpses, dyeing the earth red. As Xu Sheng led the 8,000 Han army spearheads to support, the Han army's counterattack became more and more sharp.

There was a long-range catapult, and there were intensive shooting of 10,000 crossbowmen in the steps. Within ten steps, eight thousand spearmen exerted powerful lethality, and short spearmen shot down like raindrops. It was difficult for the alive Cao army soldiers to be survived within ten steps in front of the hills.

The casualties of Cao's soldiers increased rapidly. In just half an hour, Cao's casualties exceeded 5,000. Apart from using slopes to attack, Cao's army did not play any role in siege ladders. Cao's morale suffered a severe blow and gradually became sluggish.

Xiahou Dun's heart gradually became desperate. He knew that the Cao army could not capture the Han army's camp at all, and would only cause more casualties to the Cao army.

At this time, Guo Huai rushed over on a horse and shouted: "General, it is not a solution to continue fighting like this, there will be heavy casualties."

Xiahou Dun's face twitched, and he gave an order helplessly, "Retreat!"

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’ The withdrawal bell rang, and the Cao army, with low morale, ran back like a tide. The team was in chaos and hasty, and there was no momentum that he had just begun to attack.

The cheers of the Han soldiers on the hills suddenly echoed in the sky.

.........

That night, Cao's army's camp was sad and sad. The continuous attack failure made morale even more sluggish. At the same time, an astonishing news spread quickly in the camp. Yedu had been captured by the Han army, Cao Zhi surrendered, and Cao Wei had already perished.

This news shocked all the soldiers. Although it was unacceptable, not many people doubted its authenticity. Everyone knew that the Han army had hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yellow River area. Now the main force of the Cao army was brought to the north, and there were only tens of thousands of new soldiers in Yedu. Can they defend the city?

Even though the soldiers were inaccurate and did not know the details, the generals knew that the Cao army generals began to panic. After all, most of the families of people were in Yedu City. What should they do if Yedu was captured?

Soon, several generals above military marquis gathered in front of the central army's tent. They were anxious and asked Xiahou Dun to come out to clarify the facts. In the tent, Xiahou Dun, Guo Huai, Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang were also discussing countermeasures urgently.

At this time, Zhang Liao whispered and suggested: "It's better to explain to the generals that Ye has not lost. This is just our plan to lure troops. Then we pretend to retreat south and lure the main force of the Han army to come and pursue it. In this way, we can counterattack and seek victory in defeat."

Guo Huai shook his head, "Now the morale of the army is shaken. As long as we retreat south, it will probably immediately trigger the soldiers to escape. Now we cannot retreat easily, we must first stabilize the morale of the army."

Cao Zhang was silent beside him. His 20,000 Youzhou troops were swallowed up step by step by step by Xiahou Dun. Ten thousand cavalry were borrowed to pile up slanting and did not return it. He was controlled by Zhang Liao. He had long hated Xiahou Dun to the core and secretly regretted that he should not come to Yedu. Now that Yedu has been captured, where should Cao Zhang go?

Xiahou Dun glanced at him and asked, "Where is Zhang Gong's opinion?"

Cao Zhang didn't want Xiahou Dun to see his thoughts, so he quickly withdrew his thoughts and said respectfully: "Reporting to the general, I agree with General Guo's opinion. Now we really cannot act rashly, and we can still hold on to our food for half a month. The most urgent task should be to reward the army, inspire morale, clarify rumors, and wait until the morale of the army stabilizes, and then consider the plan to lure troops."

Xiahou Dun was in a dilemma at this time. Although Zhang Liao's plan was feasible, Guo Huai also made sense. If the morale of the army was not stabilized first, as long as the army retreated, a large number of soldiers would inevitably flee. Xiahou Dun had to sigh and said, "Everyone will go back to stabilize the morale of the army first. After the morale of the army is stable, then consider the next countermeasures."

Everyone knew that Xiahou Dun was actually helpless, and they all sighed in their hearts. Several generals guarding outside the camp also left one after the persuasion of Zhang Liao, Guo Huai and others. The entire night, the Cao army camp was filled with uneasiness and pessimism.

At the beginning of the day, Xiahou Dun was suddenly awakened by his personal soldiers, "General, wake up quickly! Something happened."

Xiahou Dun sat up instinctively and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

"Just just now, Dongying came to report, and Gong Zhang led 10,000 troops out of the camp and headed east."

"ah!"

Xiahou Dun was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. He had already suspected that Cao Zhang had a strange intention and needed the army to stabilize, so he did not take the method of gradually annexing his army against Cao Zhang. Unexpectedly, this bastard ran away at the critical moment.

At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the tent. Xiahou Dun was stunned. He didn't care about Cao Zhang's affairs and walked out of the camp quickly. He saw several scouts shouting: "If there is an emergency military situation, we must see the general immediately!"

"What happened?" Xiahou Dun shouted.

Several scouts said anxiously: "Report to the general, ten miles south of the military camp, countless Han troops were found, about 100,000 people, and they were coming to our military camp."

Xiahou Dun took two steps back, his eyes turned dark and he almost fainted on the ground.
