Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 328
"Siege!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and the army began to rush down Chenliu City.

These days, both sides are preparing, but obviously, Cao Cao, who has more resources, is more fully prepared.

Cao Cao not only has many soldiers and brave generals, but also prepared many siege equipment.

Inspired by the thunderbolt chariot used by Zhao Qian when he attacked Hulao Pass, Cao Cao invented the giant ballista.

Although it can't throw huge boulders on the city wall like the Thunderbolt Chariot, the power of the giant crossbow it emits is powerful enough.

What the giant crossbow shot out was clearly a javelin, the spear was very sharp, coupled with the momentum of the giant ballista, as long as it hit the body, it would either kill or maim.

Even if you hold a shield to resist, you will be knocked down by the javelins.

Accompanied by the giant ballista, there is also Jinglan!
Jinglan was created by Mozi during the Warring States period. It is a row of "wells", with a platform on it for soldiers to stand, and wooden boards around it.

Standing on the platform of Jinglan, the sergeant can shoot arrows from a high height, which is full of lethality.

Sure enough, with the help of the giant ballista and the well fence, the soldiers on the Chenliu city wall suffered heavy casualties. The well fence was surrounded by wooden boards, and the soldiers on it could shoot people on the wall, but the soldiers on the city wall could not wear wooden boards.

Seeing the critical situation, Chen Gong shouted: "Meng Gao, fetch the rocket and shoot at the well rail!"

Zhang Chao understood, and quickly ordered someone to modify the arrow, wrap it with a rope soaked in kerosene, light it, and shoot it towards the well rail.

The sharp arrows were shot on the well rail, although they couldn't penetrate the wooden planks, but they were firmly nailed to them.

Immediately afterwards, the silk rope wrapped around it began to burn, and the flames quickly ignited the wooden boards of the well rail.

The whole well fence is made of wood, so it is so flammable that the whole well fence will soon be in a state of raging fire.

The sergeant on the Jinglan platform really had no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth at this moment. The fire spread from below, and there was nowhere to escape.

After some sergeants were burned by the fire, they couldn't bear the burning pain and jumped directly from the platform of the well.

However, the Jinglan platform is more than ten meters above the ground, and most of them fell directly to their deaths when they fell from it.

Even if he couldn't die from the fall, he would still be seriously injured, and the fire on his body would be too big to escape death.

After the threat of Jing Lan was eliminated, only the threat of the giant ballista remained.

Although the giant ballista is powerful, it is too clumsy and not accurate enough, so as long as it is on guard, it can still be dodged.

Zhang Miao still had a few thousand troops in Chenliu City, plus Liu Bei's defeated army who had retreated from Puyang, there were more than ten thousand people. Although he lost to Cao Cao's army, the city wall was more than enough to defend the city.

Seeing that the battle was raging, Cao Cao saw that Chenliu City had a wide moat and a deep moat, so he couldn't take it in a hurry.

With a sigh, Cao Cao ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, but he did not withdraw. Not far from the city, he set up the Yingzhai.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to fill the moat with soil, causing the soldiers on the city to shoot arrows one after another.

However, Cao Bing had shields on his heads, and the arrows shot down on the city wall were almost useless.

This stalemate lasted all night. On the second day, Cao Cao was refreshed and called dozens of entourages to watch around the city on horseback.

Seeing this, Guan Yu on the city wall quickly said to Liu Bei: "Brother, Cao Cao has only a few dozen horses with him now. Yu is willing to lead the army out of the city and capture Cao Cao alive!"

Liu Bei was a little moved, but before he nodded in agreement, Chen Gong next to him stopped him and said: "General Guan, Cao Cao has many tricks, and he can't attack Chenliu City. Could it be this to lure us to open the city gate and fight?"

When Liu Bei heard it, he immediately felt that it made a lot of sense, and quickly said: "What Gongtai said is true, we just need to stick to the city, and Cao Cao will naturally retreat when he runs out of food and grass!"

Guan Yu was still a little unwilling, but he couldn't say anything about what Liu Bei had already decided, but he was very upset when he saw Cao Cao wandering around the city leisurely.

Cao Cao wandered around the city, and Liu Bei and others followed him, walking on the city wall, staring at Cao Cao to see what he was going to do.

However, after Cao Cao walked around Chenliucheng, he led the dozens of cavalry back to the village.

From the beginning to the end, Cao Jun did not have any unusual movements. Liu Bei regretted that he did not follow Guan Yu's advice and sent troops to capture Cao Cao alive.

But when Liu Bei regretted staying, Cao Jun rushed out of the camp and rushed towards Chen Liu's west gate.

Liu Bei was taken aback. He didn't expect Cao Cao to attack the city when he said he would attack the city without even saying hello.

Liu Bei didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly mobilized soldiers to defend the city, and an offensive and defensive battle began again.

It's just that this siege battle was not as intense as it was yesterday, and it didn't last too long. It took only an hour for Cao Bing to retreat hastily.

However, before Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, Cao soldiers came to attack the city again, which made Liu Bei a little bit burnt out.

Repeatedly like this, until the sunset, Cao Bing retreated again.

Liu Bei dragged his exhausted body, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "This Cao soldier has finally retreated, but he is exhausted!"

Chen Gong next to him suddenly burst out laughing, Guan Yu turned his head and asked, "Mr. Gongtai, what are you laughing at?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said with a smile: "This is Cao Cao's trick, but we are rushing our lives here. It really shouldn't be!"

Liu Bei couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked, "We fell for Cao Cao's plan? Please try it on the public platform!"

Chen Gong chuckled again, and said, "Cao Cao rode his horse around the city today to look for loopholes in our city and wait for an opportunity to attack the city!"

"Could it be that Chen Liucheng's flaw lies in the west gate? The walls here are high and the river is deep. How could it be Chen Liucheng's flaw?"

Chen Gong laughed, and said: "This is Cao Cao's plan to attack the west!"

"Please explain it in detail!" Liu Bei asked quickly.

"The hole in this city is at the east gate, which has been newly repaired. The walls are low and the moat is narrow. If you don't pay attention, it will be breached!" Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei took a breath and said, "What do you mean by Gongtai?"

Chen Gong nodded and said, "Cao Cao keeps sending troops to harass the West Gate during the day, and at night he will definitely attack the East Gate!"

Guan Yu was shocked, and quickly said: "Then what are you waiting for, go and deploy your defenses quickly, otherwise Cao Cao will break through, then it will be troublesome."

Chen Gong laughed, and said: "Since Cao Cao is able to use his tricks, I will also use his tricks!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?"

Chen Gong smiled slightly and said: "This matter is not urgent, my lord can order the people at the east gate to move out, pretend to be soldiers, shout at the west gate, and send soldiers to lie in wait for Cao Cao to rush into the city. We can catch them all at once, and if we can capture Cao Cao, everything will be settled!"
