Amid the rumbling drums of the attack, 15,000 Han troops were divided into square formations, with heavy armored infantry lined up at the end, advancing towards the frontier of Yecheng. The number of people was dense. From a high place, the black Han troops under the moonlight were densely packed, covering the earth outside Ye County like an ant colony.

"Forward" amid the drums, I raised my sword and shouted.

"Put down Cao's army, conquer the world, and advance"

...........

Amid the soldiers' thunder-like shouts, 15,000 Han troops advanced towards Ye County like a siege. This time, the siege weapons used by the Han army were all made on-site.

First, the city raft was used to cross the moat. Yecheng's moat was not wide, only 100 meters wide. The Han army tied ten big trees together. These big trees were all poplar trees cut from nearby trees. They were straight and long. Each big tree grew four or five meters long. Keeping its branches, and after tying them densely, they were tied up with a layer of fire-resistant cattle, which became a temporary trest.

This cross-city raft can not only allow the Han army to rush across the moat, but also be used as a siege ladder. If the horizontal bars suitable for striking feet are nailed on it, the army can climb up the city, which is very conducive to heavy armored infantry siege.

Dozens of soldiers ran on a large raft, which could also resist the attacks of Cao's army's bows and arrows and stone catapults.

Amid the sound of war drums, 15,000 Han troops launched the sword and shield army, spear army, bow and crossbow army and heavy armored infantry. The vast Han troops formed a spectacular black tide and rushed towards the city.

On the top of the city, Cao's army was ready. Twenty light trenchers in two rows of east and west were creakingly opened. The trenchers were only eight feet high and the pole was two feet long and four feet long. They could throw up a heavy object of twenty kilograms of up to 180 steps away.

Its biggest feature is that it covers a small area and is very suitable for a small city wall like Ye County, which can be operated with only twenty people.

Half of the forty catapults were used to project huge rocks and half were used to project tinder oil pots. Thin-skinned pots containing twenty kilograms of tinder oil were placed in their leather pockets. This round belly thin-skinned pot has undergone countless practical tests, replaced the original tinned oil barrels, and became a necessary military material for the Han army and the Cao army.

The attacking Han army is getting closer and closer and has entered the stairline. If it is a heavy catapult driven by a man, it can be projected. However, Yecheng's catapult is relatively small, with a range of only 150 to 180 steps. Cao Junya, who is in charge of commanding the catapult, shouted loudly: "Prepare to launch."

The soldiers operating the catapult were so nervous that their hands were trembling, and their two trembling waves were trembling, waiting for the projection order to be issued uneasy.

But the chief general Li Dian calmed down at this moment. He watched the Han army's attack wave approaching the city step by step. He found that there were no Han army's catapults and nest vehicles, or even large ladders, which made him feel a little relieved. At this time, a soldier shouted: "General, the enemy's vanguard has reached twenty or fifty steps."

Li Dian nodded and shouted loudly: "Bed crossbow shooting"

Cao's army's bed crossbow suddenly fired, with a crossbow and a foot-long iron arrow shot strongly at the cluster of Han troops. The Han army vanguard was overturned by a group of people and horses, and dozens of soldiers were shot down.

The strong shooting tempted the tooth general who was commanding the stone-tower, but the red flag in his hand was never waved. The red flag did not wave it, and the forty Cao troops did not dare to issue the order to shoot.

At 180 steps, the Han army finally entered the range of the catapult. The red flag in the teeth finally waved down the hand, and the forty Cao soldiers "shooted" and shouted almost at the same time.

The trencher was activated, forty long throwing poles swung out, smashing twenty large stones and twenty tinted oil pots at the Han army. The huge stone made a sharp whistling sound, rolling in the air, and appeared on the heads of the Han army in an unparalleled manner. The Han army soldiers shouted and dodged to both sides. Although the stone weighed only twenty kilograms, it was still extremely powerful when it hit it from a high place.

With a dull sound, the huge rocks fell down and dust flew. Several Han soldiers could not dodge and were hit so hard that their brains burst and they died tragically on the spot.

The pottery jar was shattered, and the tincture oil splashed out and flew out. The Han soldiers knew it was powerful and buried the tincture oil with soil.

At this time, a ten-pound stone hit the cross-city raft above the soldiers' heads. With a bang, the belt on the raft was broken, dozens of trees rolled down, and dozens of Han soldiers hiding under the raft stumbled out. Someone was injured by the rolling big wood and lying on the ground and groaned in pain.

The second round of catapults fired again. At this time, the Han army had already rushed into the progress. Cao's army found that the turbulent oil had no effect and replaced it with big stones. Forty huge rocks rolled in the air, roaring and smashing, and big arrows on the bed were also shot towards them.

The Han soldiers shouted to dodge, but many soldiers were still hit and shot. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere, shields were broken, and rafts were broken.

Although the catapults and crossbows were quite powerful, they were small in number and could not form huge lethality at all. Ten thousand Han soldiers had already rushed to the city. On the city, the Cao army fired arrows at the Han army, and the arrows were like hail and rain, covering the sky and shooting at the Han army.

Han soldiers raised their shields to greet them, and people were constantly killed by arrows. In the rain of arrows, thousands of Han soldiers placed four-meter-long cross-city rafts on the moat, forming more than twenty temporary tree bridges, one by one, four-meter-high, and a wide city climbing ladder transformed from cross-city rafts to the top of the city.

Groups of brave Han soldiers rushed up the stairs and began to climb up. Cao's army's arrows came in a slanting rain, and the wooden rocks were smashed head-on. A series of Han soldiers screamed and fell from the stairs. The bodies were shot by arrows, and their heads were smashed. Under the city wall, corpses piled up like mountains. Then Han soldiers climbed up the stairs frantically and charged upwards regardless of everything.

At this time, Liu Hu, who was flushed in anger, rushed to Pin and shouted loudly: "Does the governor let us be a decoration?"

He apologized and said, "I just test the enemy's virtuality first, and there are heavy armored infantry attacking the city."

He ordered: "The soldiers who attacked the city retreated and suppressed the city with their bows and arrows."

The order was heard, and the Han soldiers retreated like a tide. Six thousand soldiers turned into crossbowmen, raised crossbows outside the stairs and shot at the top of the city, suppressing Cao's army.

At this time, the Han army once again made a loud drum sound, shaking the earth. Five thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers with heavy armor went to fight. They were lined up in five rows, each with burly and savages in their hands, and they lined up towards the city step by step. Their pace was slow, but every step was so thrilling and shocking, as if their arrival was unstoppable.

"One step...fifty steps."

The Cao army's arrows roared and shot on the heavy armor of the heavy armor of the heavy armor of the heavy armor of the heavy armor, and fell to the ground one after another. The Cao army on the city experienced abnormal movements. This fearsome army was not afraid of arrows, which made them frightened. Li Dian was also a little nervous. The Han army actually sent heavy armor infantry.

Dozens of huge attack ladders wrapped in thick cowhides mounted the city wall, and the iron hooks hung the battlements. The heavily armored infantry began to climb the wall. The Cao army at the top of the city reacted. The rolling wood and stones fell like rain. The heavily armored infantry used their long sword to dial the huge stone logs.

A heavy armored infantry of Han army split a piece of rolling wood, but was hit by a heavy stone. Although it was not enough to be fatal on the spot, the huge impact force still caused him to roll down, the saber to fly high, hovering in the air, and the cold light shone like a flying ice flower.

After all, the Han army was smashed to pieces, and more heavy-armored infantry lined up and attacked step by step with raindrops of rolling wooden stones.

Li Dian was already sweating profusely. He tried his best to think of ways, shooting arrows, smashing stones, and burning with fire. All the methods he could think of were used, but in front of this Han army, all the methods were useless. He looked pale, as if he saw the city sinking for a moment.

There was not necessarily a way, his eyes suddenly stopped on the huge wooden ladder, the ladder rod thicker than his legs wrapped in thick cooked cowhide.

He stood there for a while, suddenly, rushed up like crazy, lifted the tinder oil pot and smashed it desperately towards the ladder. This might be their only chance. Cao's soldiers woke up like dreams, rushed up together, and poured the tinder oil in the tinder.

The flames began to burn, and several heavily armored infantrymen on the ladder were engulfed by the fire. They screamed and jumped off the ladder, watching the heavy armored infantry being defeated by the fire.

At this critical moment, a thunderous roar sounded in the air, and a huge black shadow swept over like a strong wind. This was Liu Hu rushing up in a raging fire.

He waved his sabre and blood was filled with mist. The Cao army soldiers were cut into six sections. He cut the sabre up and down, and in a moment more than a dozen Cao army soldiers were cut into the ground.

Li Dian's eyes were red with anger. He shouted, rushed forward with a large iron spear, and fought with Liu Hu. However, the heavy armored infantry were deeply inspired by the commander. They were not afraid of the fire and rushed to the city with the fire. More and more heavy armored infantry rushed to the city and began to line up to fight fiercely with the Cao army, killing the Cao army soldiers to retreat step by step.

Li Dian and Liu Hu fought for more than twenty rounds. When he saw that the Han army had occupied the city, he knew that the situation was hopeless, so he had no intention of fighting again. He sold a flaw and turned around to escape, but found that his surroundings were surrounded by the Shangming Dual Armored Infantry Corps.

Liu Hu laughed, "Even if you kill me, you can't escape."

Li Dian shouted loudly, turned around and killed Liu Hu again. Unexpectedly, a large net rushed towards him and dragged Li Dian over. Li Dian struggled desperately, but more than a dozen sharp slashing swords held his chest and throat at the same time. Liu Hu said coldly: "I respect you as a man, so I don't want to kill you, don't humiliate yourself."

Li Dian sighed and closed his eyes in pain. At this time, Liu Hu yelled to the sky, "Brothers, come with me to the city."
