Cao's troops are approaching the first line of defense in Wushan Realm.

However, for the sake of safety, Ma Zhong rejected the request for war among his generals and schools.

Choose to stand firm without fighting and wait for Cao's army to attack.

So much so that Cao Jun built a fortress and various simple siege equipment in one day without any pressure.

Ma Zhong naturally had concerns.

This time our own troops are already at a disadvantage.

If you can stick to it, stick to it as much as possible. Keeping the Qiang Way is the most important thing.

As for leading his troops to seize the opportunity to make a surprise attack, this is too risky. If something goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow.

Of course, if it were Liu Yin who was stationed here and encountered the same situation, he would probably go out with his troops to destroy the enemy's fighting spirit.

But it is also the importance of this strategic location of Qiang Road.

Only then did Zhao Tong ask Ma Zhong, who was inclined to consider things more comprehensively, to stick to this point.

Cao Jun rested for a short night.

The next day.

In the early morning, the first sun has just risen slowly from the east.

Cao Cao's camp was already burying pots and making rice.

The soldiers of each department formed their own formations to wait for breakfast.

After eating, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

The sergeants each held sharp weapons and formed a battle formation to attack the fortress Wushan Realm.

The defenders on this side, naturally under the call of the general Ma Zhong, had breakfast early in the morning and went to the village to be on guard.

The soldiers from both sides looked at each other.

Looking down at the enemy troops below the fortress from a distance, Ma Zhong knew in his heart that the enemies were not professional legions, but private armies of wealthy families with average combat power, but he still unconsciously paid attention to them.

There was a sharp look on his face, and an extremely solemn gaze in his eyes.

This may be the so-called "strategically despise the enemy and tactically attach importance to it."

"The enemy is nothing more than a bunch of rabble!"

"Soldiers, keep your sharp weapons in hand and be ready for the enemy's attack at any time."

Although Ma Zhong didn't look so relaxed for a moment, Ma Zhong was already a battle-hardened general and knew better than to put too much pressure on his soldiers.

Therefore, he said encouragingly with a relaxed look on his face.

Below the fortress.

As the various ministries formed their formations one after another, once again monitoring the distribution of defense facilities in a circle of enemy fortresses, Yin Fengsui no longer hesitated, and in a split second he pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and shouted loudly:

"kill!"

An order was passed down.

The sergeants were like tigers descending the mountain one after another, with a strong aura coming out of their bodies.

Under the guidance of the generals, they acted individually.

The charging convoy, the cloud echelon, and the sword and shield men covered the crossbowmen and slowly advanced within the shooting range.

All departments moved forward in an orderly manner.

On the fortress.

General Ma Zhong, who was standing on the watchtower and watching the battle, saw that the enemy had already taken action, and he slightly estimated the distance in his mind.

After seeing that the enemy had basically crossed to only half the distance.

Ma Zhong raised his sword high and ordered sternly:

"Crossbowmen, prepare."

"put!"

In the blink of an eye after the order was given, the crossbowmen standing on top of the arrow towers in the fortress could not help but bend their bows in unison and shoot towards the outside.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Waves of arrows rained down from the sky.

Slowly drifting towards the enemy's battle formation.

Look at this scene.

Cao Jun's formation seemed to have been well prepared.

Each of the generals shouted an order to the sergeants of their headquarters: "All troops listen to the order, and the shield formation will protect you."

As soon as this order fell.

The sword and shield soldiers who were between the formations worked together to splice large iron shields above their heads to resist the arrows flying all over the sky.

"Ding ding ding..."

As each sharp arrow shot at the big iron shield, except for making a slight sound and being bounced away, it could not break through the defense of the big iron shield at all.

Following closely, Cao Jun's sword and shield bearers held their large iron shields high and moved forward slowly.

The rest of the soldiers followed behind the big shield and moved forward.

Seeing that the enemy was already prepared for the attack of arrows, the arrows were thrown out and could not cause any real impact at all.

Upon seeing this, Ma Zhong knew that since the enemy was well prepared, continuing to fire arrows would be a waste of arrows, so he simply waved his hand to stop everyone's attack.

Change the projectile to accurate shooting by military sharpshooters.

Immediately, he said again: "Bring up the prepared rolling logs and rocks."

The order is passed down.

The soldiers under his command did not dare to neglect and quickly obeyed.

The next second.

Cao's army still held up thick iron shields with sword and shield hands and gritted its teeth to protect the rest of the troops as they pushed towards the fortress with difficulty.

When the soldiers from all the tribes arrived at the stronghold.

Ma Zhong raised his long sword high in his left hand, saw the opportunity and shouted: "Rolling wood and stone, get ready."

"put!"

With all the soldiers of Cao's army gathered together, it was a good time to strike.

The instructions came one after another.

The Han soldiers who were standing between the high platforms did not hesitate at all after hearing the order, and directly pushed down the processed boulders or rolling logs.

"Boom~"

Waves of loud noises like thunder resounded through the sky, deafening.

All of a sudden.

However, Cao Jun's defense was somewhat inadequate.

The casualties suddenly doubled slightly.

It was quite terrifying to see the rocks and rolling logs swooping down with the impact from high places.

Especially this time, all the sergeants gathered together.

He became a direct target.

The rolling logs and rocks pressed down, covering the area of ​​​​the attack.

Even the large iron shield held high by the Sword and Shield Soldiers was unable to withstand this powerful impact at this moment.

Falling with great force.

It directly overwhelms the soldiers holding up their shields.

There is no big shield to resist.

Cao's army suffered an increasingly serious blow.

Under a series of blows.

Now we have advanced to the foot of the fortress.

The generals also continued to urge the attack.

The Yun Ladder team was set up on top of the stockade, and one saw each sergeant holding a sword with one hand and holding on to the ladder with the other hand as they climbed up quickly.

On the other side, the charging troops also braved the fierce offensive and surged crazily towards the gate of the village.

After breaking the enemy's shield formation.
