Although the Han army had tens of thousands of people, due to the terrain restrictions, the maximum number of troops that could be invested in combat was 5,000. However, the Han army could continuously replenish, fight attrition, and eventually capture Mumen Village. However, this was not Zhao Yun's original intention. Although he knew that he had to pay a price to attract the enemy, he did not want to pay more troops to lose.

Zhang Ren was the main attacker. He led 5,000 troops and had quietly approached the valley entrance. Here he was about to step away from the outer wall. He had good eyesight and could see the opponent's defense. When the bright moon came out of the clouds and the moonlight shone on the hillside, Cao's defense immediately became clear.

I saw a natural ditch in front of the village wall, about a meter wide, and a high suspension bridge was also pulled up. The village wall was covered with soldiers, without torches, and it looked dark.

At this moment, a cracking sound came from the village wall, and then countless small black dots whistled towards the entrance of the valley. In the blink of an eye, it was actually a four-foot-long arrow. This was the arrow of a crossbow. It could break the gold and crack the stone within the step, and the force was strong.

The crossbow arrow shot into the woods, and only a few screams were heard. This was a Han soldiers who were caught in the arrow. The sound of a loud noise in the post was suddenly heard, and the voices were shouting on the wall. The Cao soldiers were extremely nervous. At this moment, Fa Zheng quickly came to Zhang Ren and whispered to him: "General, once the Cao army retreats, they will inevitably burn the inner bridge. We must prevent it. I have a plan to quickly seize the inner bridge."

He said a few words with his ears, and Zhang Ren nodded, "I understand what the military advisor means, and I will make arrangements."

When Fa Zheng retreated, Zhang Ren shouted: "The first army is on."

The rumbling drums sounded loudly, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed out of the woods. They all held shields in their hands and carried long wooden boards on their shoulders, and ran up the hillside. Their mission was to build wooden boards on the ditches. As soon as they ran out of the woods, they shot crossbow arrows on their faces. The arrows were strong and they shot dozens of shields in succession, shooting the Han soldiers behind the shield to death on the ground.

However, the number of crossbows was small and could not pose a fatal threat to the Han army. One thousand soldiers still rushed towards the Cao army camp in a raging manner.

Cao's army deployed two thousand troops in the outer camp, commanded by Deputy General Wang Ying, and Zhang He led thousands of troops to defend the inner camp. At this time, Wang Ying stood on the wall and shouted loudly: "Boardman prepares, shoot."

Two thousand soldiers and arrows shot into the air together, drawing arcs, shooting straight into the Han soldiers getting closer and closer. Although the Han soldiers all held up their shields, the long arrows were dense, and soldiers were still being shot overturned and they screamed and fell to the ground.

At this time, another thousand Han soldiers rushed up behind them. They carried 20 kilograms of tiny oil barrels and ran to the hillside, following behind the 1,000 soldiers in front of them. Two thousand troops rushed forward and gradually rushed to the city wall and placed wooden boards on the ditches. However, in the dense rain of arrows by the Cao army, soldiers continued to fall to the ground.

Rolling wood fell from the camp and rolled towards the dense Han soldiers on the hillside. Pieces of soldiers were smashed to the ground. Despite the heavy casualties, the thousand Han soldiers rushed up from behind still threw several turbulent barrels under the village wall.

Two thousand Han soldiers quickly retreated. They were not attacking troops, most of them did not bring weapons, and they immediately evacuated after completing the mission. In this round of charge, the Han army paid the price of several people being killed. The bodies of the dead soldiers were everywhere on the hillsides and in the ditches.

But the Han army's first round of attack did not begin for a long time. The battlefield became quiet. Wang Ying leaned his head and looked at the corners of the wall and several wooden oil barrels on the hillside. His scalp was bursting. In fact, they also had tincture oil, but they were afraid to burn him back, so they were reluctant to use it.

Cao Jun camp is a wood-stone structure, which is easy to catch fire. Fire prevention is the top priority. Seeing that the Han army did not attack, Wang Ying could seize this opportunity to deal with the hidden dangers, so he immediately ordered: "Go out and carry all the oil barrels back, and throw the wooden boards into the ditch."

The suspension bridge slowly lowered, the village gate opened, and two Cao soldiers rushed out. They moved quickly, pulling the wooden boards on the ditch, throwing them into the ditch, and carrying oil barrels on their shoulders, turning around and running towards the camp.

But at this moment, a loud shout of killing was suddenly heard at the foot of the mountain. Thousands of Han soldiers waved their spears and swords and came out of the valley. They roared and rushed towards the village wall. Wang Ying was shocked and shouted: "Pull up the suspension bridge quickly."

The suspension bridge no longer cared about the Cao army that had not escaped, but the accident happened at this moment. Dozens of Han soldiers killed on both sides of the suspension bridge suddenly jumped up and rushed to the suspension bridge.

Several powerful men with great heights waved their huge axes to chop the iron chains on the suspension bridge. Fire was splashed everywhere, and the left and right iron chains were cut off one after another. The suspension bridge that had already raised a ruler fell down again.

The dozens of soldiers rushed to the gate, held the gate with their bodies, and fought with the Cao army in front and behind the gate. They were extremely brave, and they all fought for ten, killing Cao army one after another.

On the wall of the village, Wang Ying was stunned by the scene in front of him. This sudden change caught all Cao's army off guard.

This is Fa Zheng's clever plan. He used ten Eagle Strike soldiers to mingle among ordinary soldiers, pretending to be dead, and fell around the suspension bridge.

Fa Zheng predicted that the enemy general would send people to clear the wooden boards and turmeric oil from the ditches, and then the chance of seizing the outer walls and wooden bridges was just one moment.

Wang Ying finally reacted and shouted: "Eliminate them all and close the village gate."

At the gate of the village, there were already fierce battles with ten Eagle Strike soldiers, and several more people rushed over soon.

At the same time, thousands of Han soldiers were already rushing like crazy waves, and were about to reach the gate of the village. Wang Ying knew that the foreign village was not protected, so he shouted, "Retreat" two thousand Cao soldiers jumped off the walls and rushed towards the inner village.

The so-called outer village wall is actually an auxiliary defense line, not a real camp. To conquer the outer village wall, it is just one step closer to the real camp.

But there is a natural crack ten feet wide between the two village walls. The crack is deep and bottomless. If it falls, it will undoubtedly die if it falls.

There is a wooden bridge across the crack of the rock. The wooden bridge is about six meters long and wide. It looks a bit old. Only by rushing through the wooden bridge and breaking open the inner village gate can you truly enter the Mumen Village.

In fact, the best defense method is to destroy the wooden bridge and block the Han army to the west of the crack. The defense will be half the result with twice the effort. However, Zhang He did not demolish the wooden bridge considering that there was a defensive wall in front.

Several Han army vanguards rushed over the exterior wall under the leadership of Zhang Ren and rushed directly to the wooden bridge. At this time, more than a dozen Cao army soldiers, under the command of Wang Ying, were pouring tinder oil on the bridge, preparing to burn the bridge.

Zhang Ren's eyes turned red with anxiety. He roared and rushed to the wooden bridge, thrusting seven or eight people in a row. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Ying threw down the torch in his hand. The tincture oil on the bridge was ignited.

Zhang Ren shouted loudly, "The enemy general was killed." He jumped up and swung Wang Ying overwhelmed Wang Ying. Wang Ying screamed and fell from the bottomless crack in the rock.

At this time, the Han soldiers behind rushed forward and used soil to extinguish the untoured fire. They were very lucky to seize the wooden bridge that was life-and-death before the enemy burned the bridge.

According to Zhang He's initial plan, once Cao's army retreated across the wooden bridge, it could set fire to block the Han army on the west bank. It was not easy for the Han army to build a wooden bridge on a crack nearly ten feet wide, and Cao's army could burn the wooden bridge at any time.

But the plan is not as good as change. The Han army cleverly seized the outer wall, the Han army pioneer took the lead in occupying the wooden bridge, and Zhang He's plan to burn the wooden bridge was also failed.

The situation has begun to be unfavorable to the Cao army, and more Han troops are coming in a steady stream, but Cao's soldiers also found that although the number of Han soldiers was large, they were limited by the terrain and could only attack the camps at most.

More importantly, the camp is relatively high, with a foot above the wooden bridge. The Cao army soldiers are high, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is also Xun You's confidence. As long as you defend the right place, even if the Han army sends tens of thousands of troops, they will not be able to seize Mumen Village.

At this time, Zhang He had calmed down from the initial panic. He ordered the gate to close the camp and immediately organized soldiers to fight back. There were more than a thousand soldiers on the inner camp wall. They all took their bows and arrows, and dense rain of arrows shot towards several Han troops on the bridge. Han soldiers raised their shields to greet them. While resisting the dense rain of arrows from Cao's army, they fought fiercely with more than a thousand Cao troops who were trying to recapture the wooden bridge.

At this time, nearly 1,55 Cao army soldiers had no time to withdraw to the big village, and the gate of the village was closed. The more than a thousand Cao army soldiers became the first batch of enemies in the Han army's fierce battle. The shouts of killing sounded the sky, and the wooden bridge was filled with soldiers of the two armies. In the narrow space, the two sides fought bloody battles.

...........

At the same time when the Han army launched a large-scale attack on the camp and attracted Cao's attention, four eagle attackers also climbed the mountain behind Cao's camp.

But at this time, the heaven no longer favors the Han army. The dark clouds in the sky began to become sparse. A bright moon shines on Mumen Mountain, smearing the mountain with a layer of silver gray. If you go down the mountain at this time, the people at the foot of the mountain will clearly discover the enemy's invasion.

But Liu Zheng made a decision without hesitation and threw the rope down the mountain. He had no choice. The fierce battle at the foot of the mountain and the death of the soldiers were all to protect them from entering the Cao army camp from behind.

A rope dozens of feet was thrown down along the mountain wall, and Liu Zheng said in a deep voice: "The First Battalion went down the mountain."

As the deputy commander, Ren Ping was the first to climb a long rope down the mountain. The soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army behind him also went down the mountain one by one. After a moment, five long lines were covered with strings of small black dots, and quickly climbed down the mountain.

Liu Zheng stared at his subordinates down the mountain. He was also extremely nervous and bit his lip. He knew the risks. As long as any Cao army soldier turned around, he could see the Eagle Strike soldiers on the mountain wall.
