The sky will dawn, and the earth will be chaotic and hazy.
The cold wind blew on the cheeks, hurting like a knife, and a thick layer of frost condensed on the soldiers' knives and guns, which could not be receded for a long time.
"Siege of the whole army" Under the umbrella cover of Huang Luo, Cao Cao wore a helmet and hung armor, held a Longyuan sword, and clawed Huang Feidian under his crotch, and personally issued an order to attack Hefei, "Those who climb the Hefei city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, given to the Marquis of the Pavilion, a thousand households in the city, and a thousand hectares of good land."
"Rush, take Hefei" With Cao Cao's order, a total of 120,000 Cao troops issued a tsunami-like shout, according to the scale of 30,000 people on each city wall, launched a fierce offensive against Hefei City.
Dian Wei and Cao Hong were responsible for attacking the north gate of Hefei, Han Baohu and Sima Cuo were responsible for attacking the east gate of Hefei, Cao Wenzhao and Wen Ping were responsible for attacking the south gate of Hefei, and Cao Shen and Shi Jin were responsible for attacking the west gate of Hefei.
Zhuge Liang's reinforcements could arrive on the battlefield at any time, so Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead 20,000 horses to defend the rear of Cao's army in Shitang Town and Qinglong Cliff, so as not to be attacked by the Han army.
In addition to the men and horses sent out, Cao Cao personally stationed with Fan Zeng, Kuai Liang, Ren Jun, Lu Qian, and Xu Chu, who had returned from injury last night, to watch the battle on a high ground called "Queen Mother Slope", and to command and control the overall situation.
Another 30,000 horses are on standby.
"Knock Knock Knock" Cao Cao stood on the high slope, against the howling cold wind, personally waved the drumstick to beat the huge cowhide war drum, and made a subdued drum sound, inspiring the soldiers of the three armies to move forward bravely.
"Sons, the one who climbs the Hefei city wall first this time must be my tiger guard" Dian Wei carried a pair of iron halberds, trampled on the smoke and dust, and rushed to Hefei City first.
The three thousand "Tiger Guards" following behind Dian Wei are one of the most elite teams under Cao Cao, composed of all kinds of people such as Jianghu rangers, regimental training leaders, large martial artists, outlaws, etc., who are good at climbing and jumping, and have strong hand-to-hand combat ability, and their foot combat ability is second to none in the 500,000 Cao army.
In the previous many sieges, Cao Cao has not been willing to put this ace army into battle, and today due to the situation, Cao Cao ordered Dian Wei to lead the Tiger Guard Jian'er to charge first, and strive to break through the city gate before the reinforcements arrived in Hefei.
"Shoot the Arrow" Seeing Cao Jun swarming over, Ma Dai bent his bow and arrows on the city wall, firing several in a row, "Shoot me hard, smash it hard, if you can kill one more, count one" With Ma Dai's order, the Han army's crossbowmen hid behind the wall battlements and fired arrows in unison, and the dense rain of arrows poured down from the city wall like locusts, and burst towards the Han army that had just arrived at the moat.
"Tiger guards, don't be cowardly, charge with me" Dian Wei brandished an iron halberd weighing forty catties each to dial the carving feathers, and the wind and rain on the upper and lower sides of Zhou's body were impermeable, and he charged forward desperately.
After more than half a month of siege warfare, the moat outside Hefei has been filled with rolling stones, damaged weapons, dead bodies and other debris, and Cao Jun has covered the loess on it, and after frost, it is as flat as the ground.
Without the obstacle of the moat, the tiger guard followed Dian Wei's steps, rushed to the city wall three and a half feet high as if he were walking on the ground, put the cloud ladder on the city wall, and climbed desperately in the rain of stones, hail and arrows.
"Xue Rengui is here, who dares to come to die" A clatter sounded on the city wall, and a general in bronze armor and white robes was bending his bow and arrows to charge Cao Jun under the city wall.
"Look, Xue Rengui" As soon as they heard Xue Rengui's name and saw Xue Rengui's figure, the soldiers of the Cao army couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and the momentum of the attack involuntarily slowed down a lot.
They don't have to fear a rain of arrows like locusts, or a hail of rolling stones, because they can be shielded with shields and parried with knives and guns.
But the feather arrow shot by Xue Rengui is unavoidable, as long as it is within range, there is only one result, and that is death "It doesn't matter if he is Xue Rengui or not, those who dare to stand in the way of my Tiger Weijian'er will be killed."
Dian Wei burst out with a tiger roar, inserted the big iron halberd in his right hand into the ground, and quickly untied a one-foot-long halberd weighing about seven or eight catties from his waist, and threw it forward to the city wall: "Eat me a halberd" The halberd forged by the dark iron carried a swarthy light, drew a swift arc, and flew up the city wall like a meteor.
At the same time as Dian Wei threw the halberd, the tiger wielded by the big iron halberd in his left hand was vigorous, dialing the carving feather, and the drip of water was not revealed.
"Ding Dong Dianwei Throwing Halberd Attribute Explosion, Force 7, Force Value Instantly Rises to 110" only heard the sound of "poof", the iron halberd hit the chest of "Xue Rengui", pierced the armor and pierced the heart, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and fell off the city wall.
"Xue Rengui has been stabbed to death by me, Tiger Guards, charge bravely" Dian Wei raised his arms and roared, not revealing the identity of this fake, but planning it, falsely claiming that the person who was stabbed to death by himself was Xue Rengui.
"Xue Rengui is dead, kill, rush to the city wall" Cao Hong, who was not far away, also followed the noise and shouted, personally carrying a cloud ladder and rushing to the city wall, "knocking" on the wall, holding a shield in one hand and a ghost head knife in the other, and climbing up first.
"Kill, rush to the wall" Under the encouragement of Dian Wei and Cao Hong, the Cao army, led by 3,000 tiger guards, rushed to the bottom of the city tower like a tide of ladders one after another, put the ladders on the city wall, put a shield on his head, and braved the rain of arrows to climb upward.
Ma Dai on the city wall felt that the Cao army's offensive today was obviously much more fierce than before, and the Tiger Guards who took the lead in the charge were strong in combat and their climbing ability was extremely amazing.
Stepping on the ladder, holding a shield in one hand, wielding a steel knife in one hand, and not using a ladder with both hands, he climbed up like a gecko.
"Knock down the ladder with a long pole" Seeing that the situation was critical, Ma Dai poked his head out of the battlement, held a long pole of more than two zhang and plunged down into the junction of the ladder and the city wall, and struggled to pry.
After the ladder lost its support, it tilted backwards and threw out several Cao soldiers who were climbing on the ladder, letting out a series of exclamations and screams.
"Die" Under the command of Ma Dai, countless Han soldiers hiding behind the wall battlements leaned out half of their bodies, used the long poles that had been prepared long ago to pry the ladders, and pushed back one after another.
"Hoohoo" Dian Wei, who was the first soldier, was only about two zhang away from the city wall, and saw that the Han army stretched out a long pole to pry the ladder, and hurriedly stepped on the ladder with all his strength to prevent the Han army from succeeding.
At the same time, he freed his left hand, grabbed the arm of the guard under his feet, and roared: "Give me up" With a "click", the long pole of the Han sergeant broke in response, and it was impossible to overturn Dian Wei on the ladder.
Before he was stunned, he heard a series of exclamations of "Wow, yes, yes" sounded overhead, and it turned out to be a Cao soldier who was thrown up by Dian Wei.
In addition to crossbowmen and longpole soldiers, there are countless soldiers armed with shields and machetes, ready to fight hand-to-hand at any time.
Seeing a Cao soldier suddenly descend from the sky, he immediately burst out with a shout, and seven or eight people instantly surrounded him, slashing the unlucky Tiger Guard athlete into meat sauce.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the Han army at the head of the city, Dian Wei strode up, seeing that he could grasp the city wall by climbing another ladder.
Suddenly, Ma Dai rushed over with a grinding disc-like rock, and smashed it viciously on Dian Wei's head: "Give me death."
Dian Wei hurriedly turned his head to dodge, but was still hit by a rock in the shoulder, and instantly felt a hot pain.
When he was about to fall to the ground, he reached out and grabbed the crossbar of the ladder to avoid falling to the ground.
"It's a pity, it's a failure" Cao Cao saw the failure of Dian Wei on the high slope, and couldn't help but sigh, and now beat the drumsticks as tightly as a storm, leading hundreds of drummers to beat the drums and cheer, boosting the morale of the three armies.
"Thunderbolts, crossbowmen, suppress the Han soldiers on the city wall, don't let them stretch out their long poles" Ren Jun got Cao Cao's order, and Pegasus rushed down the Wangmu Slope to teach Cao Hong and Dian Wei face-to-face.
Under Ren Jun's command, more than 20 thunderbolts made a "squeak" sound and advanced towards the foot of the city wall.
Under the sound of swishing, one rock after another flew onto the Hefei city wall, and the Han army was in chaos.
"Shoot me hard" Cao Hong did not have the strength and courage of Dian Wei to risk his life first, so he simply stood under the city wall and commanded the crossbowmen to aim at the Han soldiers who leaned out on the city wall to pry the ladder, killing and wounding them, so that the Han army did not dare to overturn the ladder unscrupulously.

"Erect a cowhide tent" Ma Dai had already learned the power of Cao Jun's thunderbolts, and immediately ordered a tent to be hung overhead to defend against the thunderbolts.
Although Ma Dai called it a cowhide tent, most of them were ordinary tarpaulins for camping, and the toughness could not be compared to that of real cowhide, but it was able to counteract the threat of thunderbolts.
"Pour oil on me" Ma Dai waved his hand and commanded the people who were helping to defend the city under the inner city wall.
Smoke billowed from the city, and tens of thousands of old and weak women and children went into battle together, offering their own iron pots and oil, and lighting fires to boil the oil on the spot under the city.
At this moment, when he heard Ma Dai's order, thousands of sturdy men rushed up the city wall with oil pots and threw them at Cao Jun on the cloud ladder.
"Wow yes it burned me" For a while, the screams under the north city wall came one after another, and the air was filled with a smell of burnt flesh, and many Cao troops who were climbing with their heads up were scalded by the boiling hot oil, and the skin was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and they had to slow down the momentum of the attack. t1706231537:
