I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Chapter 172 The Battle Is Fierce, The Secret Door

"Zhou Mu, what should I do?"

Qu Bei smiled wryly and looked at Gao Gan.

Gao Gan also felt an extra headache.

No wonder before attacking Hanoi, uncle Yuan Shao urged him to be careful of Cao Mao.

This son is so cunning and versatile!

Looking at Huai County, which is so close at hand, it seems that it may be captured at any time, but it is exceptionally strong,
There was a chill in Gao Gan's heart.

What I am facing is a terrifying opponent!

He collected himself and said in a deep voice,
"Go, let those peasants be responsible for transporting the soil and filling the pit."

"But the civilian husbands we brought this time...not many..."

Gao Rou hesitated.

When marching and fighting, it is necessary to recruit civilians to transport grain and grass, make ordnance and other chores.

This time, Gao Gan and others did not recruit too many civilians from Hebei for the Hanoi army.

They planned to take the people from Hanoi County into captivity and use them as civilian husbands.

But they didn't expect that Cao Mao knew their actions in advance and came to fortify the wall and clear the country.

I didn't even see a single person along the way, which also led to a shortage of civilians accompanying the army.

Civil servants are no better than soldiers, if they are asked to fill up the soil, they will suffer heavy casualties.

Gao Gan frowned slightly, and said coldly,
"If there are not enough manpower, let the soldiers also carry the sand!"

Hearing the words Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei's heart tightened, they couldn't help but look at each other.

If you want to fill the deep hole behind the city gate, you don't know how many lives will be lost!

You must know that the Huns lost nearly 5000 troops in the half-day siege just now!
Even if Huai County was captured in the end, how many of the [-] Hun soldiers would be left?
Gao Gan noticed the expressions of Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei, he understood, and said calmly,

"Huchuquan Shanyu, don't worry, our Hebei army should act together with the Xiongnu soldiers!"

Hearing this, the faces of Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei looked much better.

In this way, at least one's own casualties can be reduced.

The Huns and the Hebei Army quickly moved into action.

First, the [-] civilian husbands who were dispatched carried the sand with their poles and headed for the city gate.

The Huns and the Hebei army escorted them into the city gate with shields and poured sand into the deep pit.

But how could Cao Mao let them fill in the soil?

Under his command, three ballistas were pushed to the city gate.

In the narrow city gate, the people on the high-ranking party had no room to dodge at all.

Three crossbow arrows shot out, whether it was the Huns, the Hebei army, or the peasants, they were all strung up like candied haws and flew out!
Before even one stick of incense lasted, the five hundred people were exhausted!
But at this moment, the deep hole has not been filled with even one-third!
But the red-eyed high officials, Hu Chuquan, had no way out and forced his soldiers to fill in the soil.

Qubei personally led a team of personal guards, as the supervising team, guarding the rear of the battlefield.

All soldiers who dare to retreat will be executed on the spot without questioning indiscriminately!

Under such harsh military orders, the soldiers of the Hebei Army and the Huns had no choice but to bite the bullet and do the work of civilians, filling loads of sand into deep pits.

And Cao Jun in the city will naturally not be merciful.

The pear blossom crossbows and crossbow carts in the torrential rain did not stop for a moment, and countless arrows shot towards the city gate hole!
Every time a load of soil is poured into the deep pit, the coalition forces of the Hebei Army and the Huns will have to pay at least two lives!
Blood flowed into the city gate, and the corpses quickly piled up into a hill, and even blocked the place.

In the beginning, the coalition forces had the intention to move the bodies of those sacrificed companions away from the city gate.

At the height of the battle, they simply pushed the corpse directly into the deep pit!
And the rainstorm pear flower crossbow equipped by Cao Jun's soldiers was also scrapped because of continuous firing.

Even the arrows of the ballista were exhausted!
In this way, under the labor of the coalition forces regardless of casualties, the deep pit gradually became shallower!

"Reporting to the general, Zhou Mu, the gully behind the city gate will be filled soon!"

An orderly replied excitedly.

Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.

If so many lives were sacrificed and Huai County could not be invaded, then there was really no need to fight this battle!
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Gao Rou suddenly saw movement on the city wall.

"General, look, Cao Mao is up!"

Everyone stretched out their heads together and looked towards the gate tower.

I saw Cao Mao sitting in front of the city gate all day,

At this moment, he stood up and hurried down the city with Zhou Cang beside him.

Seeing this situation, the big stones in everyone's hearts suddenly fell to the ground.

"The gate of the city is about to be broken, the thug Cao Mao really can't sit still!"

Hu Chuquan snorted coldly, turned his head, and smiled at Gao Gan,

"Zhou Mu, how about we go to the city gate together?"

Gao Gan pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.

Even if they successfully invaded Huai County, the street fighting that followed would be cruel and intense!

Gao Gan, Hu Chuquan, and Gao Rou led the guards around them and walked slowly towards the city gate.

But Qubei stayed outside the city for the time being, gathered the remaining Huns and the Hebei army, followed Gao Gan and the others, and prepared to enter the city.

Looking at the city wall of Huai County, which is riddled with holes, it is getting closer and closer to me,

Gao Gan on the horseback couldn't help showing a smile.

If I take down Huai County and capture Cao Mao alive, I am afraid that my reputation will resound throughout China!

When my uncle takes over the world, at least I am a prince?
Hu Chuquan, who was following him, also had eyes full of excitement.

This time, the Xiongnu made great efforts to win Huai County. If he asked Yuan Shao for Hanoi, he probably wouldn't refuse it, would he?
However, just when the two fantasized about the benefits of taking Huai County,

Mutation!

The soaring shouts of killing sounded from both sides of the team!

The smiles on the faces of Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan suddenly froze, and they looked up quickly!
However, two secret doors suddenly appeared at the northwest and northeast feet of the north wall of Huai County!

Although this secret door is not tall, it is enough for two people to walk side by side!

At this moment, the constant stream of Cao Jun is coming out of these two secret doors!
On the left is the leading general Cao Jun, wielding a Tang Mo Dao with a murderous look, it is Cao Zhang!

And the person headed on the right is holding a long halberd, covered in silver and white, like a sword drawn out of its sheath, invincible, it is Cao Mao!

Next to Cao Mao, protecting his flanks was Zhou Cang, a big black-faced man!

When Gao Gan, Hu Chuquan, and Gao Rou saw this situation, their hands and feet felt cold instantly, and their hearts seemed to stop suddenly!

Although the deep pit at the city gate has just been filled, a street battle is still needed to completely take down Huai County.

But whether it was Gao Gan, Hu Chuquan, or Gao Rou, they all felt that the battle was a sure thing.

After all, they still have more than [-] troops combined, and Cao Mao has no city walls to rely on, and only a few thousand troops in his hands.

How could it be overturned?

But no one expected that Cao Mao had dug a secret door in advance, and suddenly launched an attack at this moment!
