Chapter 577 The setting sun is like blood
The people in the city only felt the loud thunderous sound explode above their heads, and their hearts became even more frightened.
Cao's assault troops climbed up the ladder with a ring-headed sword. Then, strong crossbowmen and crossbow chariots lined up rows of powerful crossbows and crossbow chariots kept pouring arrows onto the city. Arrows like rain kept sweeping the city. In this attack, although the soldiers of the Canglang Camp were very elite, the number of casualties still rose in a straight line. The Northern Army did not sit and wait for death. The bed crossbow had begun to fight back. The huge crossbow gun rushed into the crossbow chariot formation against the Cao army's rain of arrows. The crossbow chariots were immediately hit into pieces. The Cao army soldiers who were directly hit by the crossbow gun were either thrown out by the huge impact force of the crossbow gun, or their heads were smashed and flesh and blood were blown away. The scene was really terrible.
The Cao army assault troops climbed desperately on the city wall, and another team of Cao army pushed the city car and began to raid the city gate. The huge impact made people sweat for the Northern Army.
The huge stone wood kept pouring downwards, and Cao's soldiers were constantly smashed down from the ladder and their flesh flew everywhere. There was a loud noise, which was the sound of the ladder when it was smashed by the ladder.
A pot of boiling oil was poured down the city wall. The Cao army soldiers, who were covered in oil, screamed shrillly, and the air was filled with creepy smell of meat. At the same time, the Northern Army threw down torches, and the fire heads rose one after another.
However, Cao's army finally climbed to the top of the city.
The soldiers of Canglang Camp immediately straightened up and shot arrows at the city, and drew their swords to kill Cao's army who were climbing to the city. At first, the number of Cao's army climbed to the city was limited, so under the brave Canglang Camp sword, the soldiers of Cao's army fell down in the continuous sword light. A powerful general of Canglang Camp shouted and raised a Cao's army high and threw it down the city wall.
However, as more and more Cao's troops climbed to the city, the situation was slowly changing. The sound of killing on the city walls shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Canglang Camp had already suffered casualties. The soldiers of the new army were still throwing stones and woods under the city, and were still firing bed crossbows.
Ma Chao joined the battlefield with a dragon cavalry spear. Under the power of the dragon cavalry spear, the Cao army soldiers had no power to fight back and were killed so that they kept retreating.
The war lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and Cao's army, which had already opened up, was killed by the Zhengbei Army. At the same time, the Chongcheng car that had hit the city gate had turned into a ball of flame. It turned out that just a few days ago, more than a dozen soldiers from the Canglang Camp went down the rope to the city gate. Hundreds of Cao's soldiers immediately roared and surrounded them. The soldiers of the Canglang Camp were not afraid and fought in the tide of war. The scarred soldiers were still dancing with their swords. The extremely sharp horizontal sword had rolled their mouths at this moment. The long spear passed through the body, and the soldiers inserted the horizontal sword into the opponent's chest with their last breath. The last soldier poured tung oil on the Chongcheng car, ignited the Chongcheng car before swallowing his last breath, and then he completely disappeared into the blazing flames.
Seeing that such a fierce offensive still could not start the situation, Cao Ren was furious and shouted to the messenger: "The messenger's catapult troops will fight me against the city wall!"
The messenger was stunned, and a general next to him said anxiously: "General, our people are still on top!"
Cao Ren kicked the general away and stared at the commander and said, "Why are you still standing there?" He looked a little ferocious.
The commander was shocked and hurried down to pass the command.
Ma Chao killed two Cao army soldiers in one shot and two styles. At this time, a Cao army captain waved his big sword and rushed towards Ma Chao. Ma Chao smiled coldly, moved his hands holding the gun, and the dragon cavalry spear shook in his hands.
At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came. Ma Chao couldn't help but frown, and then saw the captain Cao Jun in front of him flying towards him with blood, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. Ma Chao instinctively shot him away, and glanced at him. His helmet had been sunk into the darkness. The whistling sounded in his ears again, and countless huge rocks were flying down from the air. Ma Chao's eyes condensed and shouted loudly. The dragon riding gun in his hand rolled out like a dragon, and the stone seemed to hit an extremely hard rock. Like, they ejected away. From a distance, they saw a general wearing Qilin ring armor standing proudly in the rain of stones, majestic, and the dragon cavalry in his hand flew like a dragon. The terrifying stone rain seemed like a joke in front of him. Cao Ren looked at Ma Chao on the top of the city, his face turned pale; the deputy general beside him couldn't help but sigh: "This Ma Chao is really amazing!" After speaking, he realized that this was inappropriate, so he quickly looked at Cao Ren, and saw that Cao Ren did not notice him at all.
Ma Chao was extremely brave, but ordinary soldiers were in trouble. Whether it was the Northern Army, Cao Army, whether it was the Canglang Camp or the New Army, they were all struggling in the suffocating rain of stones, with flesh and blood flying on the top of the city; after a rain of stones, all the soldiers who were fighting fell into a pool of blood.
The Cao army's indiscriminate attack caused serious casualties to the Northern Army. Of course, the Cao army himself was also very miserable in this attack. When the Cao army stopped bombardment, only a few hundred people were left of nearly two thousand Cao army soldiers who had already rushed to the top of the city.
Cao's army's catapult finally stopped attacking. At this moment, the corpses were piled up on the city wall, and the bodies of the soldiers of the Zhengbei Army and Cao's army were mixed together. Ma Chao stood on the top of the city with a gun, covered in blood, his eyes firmly staring at Cao Ren's flag in the distance, his chest was slightly undulating, and he was already a little tired.
The sound of Cao's war drums sounded again, and Cao's army under the city wall shouted violently, and the new force began to climb the city. Ma Chao glanced at his side and saw that there were not many soldiers standing, and his eyes returned to Cao's army. Looking at Cao's army surging towards the city wall, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Yang Meng limped to Ma Chao with a huge sword, clasped his fists and said, "General!"
"How is the situation?"
Yang Meng said with a look of grief and anger: "Brothers, you have suffered heavy losses! Duan Dangjia is already seriously injured!"
Ma Chao wiped the blood stains on his face and stared at Cao Ren's Shuaiqi and said in a deep voice: "It's really depressing to defend like this! Immediately gather a hundred soldiers who can fight and follow me to rush out of the city!"
Yang Meng's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Yes!" He said, and turned around and left. At this moment, Cao's army had already climbed the city wall and the bloody battle had begun.
Yang Meng left for a moment and ran back, "General!" Yang Meng shouted with joy.
Ma Chao turned his head to look at Yang Meng. When he was about to scold him, he saw thousands of people behind Yang Meng running towards the city with anxiety. What surprised Ma Chao slightly was that these people were the Youzhou Army, who were like waste in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Ma Chao asked in surprise.
Yang Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know! But I know they are here to help!"
While talking, a general from Youzhou Army led his fist to Ma Chao and said, "General!"
Ma Chao glanced at the general in front of him, "You are Liu Zhan!" The man immediately showed a look of surprise, "The general actually remembers it!"
Ma Chao glanced at the thousands of soldiers behind him and said to Liu Zhan: "The situation is urgent now. I will immediately divide your subordinates into three teams. Two teams will help me defend the left and right sections of the city walls. The third team stayed at the city wall as a reserve team!" "Yes!" Liu Zhan held his fist and retreated.
"General, do you still need to be prepared to attack?" Yang Meng asked for instructions.
Ma Chao shook his head, "Don't attack for the time being!" He turned his head and looked at Yang Meng. At this time, he realized that Yang Meng was seriously injured. He saw that the armor on Yang Meng's left chest had sunk. Several holes were cracked in the depression, and blood was coming out from it. There was a bandage wrapped around his left leg, and the whole bandage had turned red and black, and blood was constantly coming out from the bandage.
Ma Chao frowned and said to Yang Meng: "You go to the city wall to rest immediately!"
Yang Meng slapped his chest suddenly, perhaps because of the wound. Yang Meng couldn't help frowning and said in a loud voice: "I'm fine!"
Ma Chao ignored him and ordered his personal soldiers around him: "Take General Yang down here!"
The two personal soldiers immediately came up to hold Yang Meng and walked under the city wall. Yang Meng was very anxious and suddenly broke away from the two personal soldiers and ran to Ma Chao and said anxiously: "General, I don't need to rest!" Ma Chao frowned and shouted: "Bold! How dare you disobey my military order!"
Yang Meng's bull temper immediately came up and pointed at the city wall and rushed to Ma Chao, saying, "General, I would rather jump down than go down to rest!"
Ma Chao couldn't help but feel angry, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel emotion. He stared at Yang Meng, the barbarian bull, Yang Meng raised his neck and looked fearlessly. Finally, Ma Chao sighed, turned his head to look down at the city, and said calmly: "It's up to you!" Yang Meng couldn't help but feel happy and bowed to Ma Chao and said: "Thank you, General!"
The tragic war was in full swing, and the soldiers on both sides were intertwined on the top of the city, their roars were earth-shaking, and blood was spreading in the sky with the flash of swords. The soldiers of the North Army fell one by one in the pool of blood after doing their best.
As the main battlefield, the city wall on the south side of the main battlefield has been in a stalemate. The city walls on the west and east sides are becoming increasingly critical under the attack of Cao's absolute superior force. It is impossible for Ma Chao to provide support to the west and east sides. Youzhou is in danger!
