Jia Fu didn't know Liu Wuji's identity, but he was surprised by this young man's martial arts, he looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his martial arts were so good, he was simply a genius and a wonderful martial artist.
If Jia Fu knew that Liu Wuji was a head taller than his peers because of his bone essence, and his real age was still a month short of turning ten years old, he was afraid that he would vomit a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
It doesn't matter if he can't beat Xue Rengui, one of the four elephant generals, and he can't beat Wei Chigong, one of the eight horses; It doesn't matter if you can't beat Wei Chigong, you can't even beat a bull-nosed Taoist priest; It doesn't matter if you can't win the Taoist priest, now in the face of a teenager, you can't get cheap in a short time, and there are so many talents in the Eastern Han Dynasty Imperial Court, even if you use Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is not enough to describe the talent reserve of the Eastern Han Dynasty "Click" The hook and sickle in the reeds rose one after another, harvesting the legs of the horses ridden by the tiger and leopard, Jia Fu knew that he had no time to be distracted, and the slightest mistake would cut off the mount.
He could only force Liu Wuji back, urged the war horse under his crotch, brandished the halberd to block the hook and sickle spears that protruded like poisonous snakes on both sides, and cautiously withdrew from the reeds.
"The reinforcements of the Han army have arrived, temporarily return to Hefei to report to Your Majesty" Cao Wenzhao's horse lance flew sideways, protected the war horse, and followed Jia Fu's pace and withdrew from the grass.
A rough count of the number of people was probably lost by about seven or eight hundred horses.
Seeing the dust billowing in the south, and knowing that the reinforcements of the Han army were coming, Cao Wenzhao did not dare to fight, and led the remaining tigers and leopards with Jia Fu to retreat in the direction of Hefei.
"Kill, all charge" Just when Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong were being pursued by the tiger and leopard cavalry, Long Ji also led 20,000 vanguard troops to approach Shitang Town in the southwest of Hefei, where he met Cao Ren, who was guarding in formation.
In the cold wind, the dragon urged the crotch to scratch his head and the lion snow, waving a seventy-five pound tiger tooth and a broken star to charge first: "I am the general dragon horse, my Han 200,000 reinforcements have arrived, and the rebel party will not kneel down quickly."
Dressed in swarthy black iron armor and a special helmet that covers half of his cheeks, Cao Ren looks a bit like a robot from a 21st century anime.
At this moment, standing behind the antlers, he snorted coldly, waved his sword and shouted: "Release the arrow" "Ding Dong Cao Ren's special skill wall erupts, command 3, force 3, current command rate rises to 96, current force rises to 91" When Cao Cao was besieging Hefei, he was afraid that Zhuge Liang's reinforcements would arrive, so he sent Cao Ren to lead 20,000 horses to Shitang Town to defend it.
After Cao Ren arrived, he set up antlers and thorns on the road, dug trenches, and built arrow towers to firmly hold the road and block the reinforcements of the Han army.
For a time, the sound of killing in Shitang Town shook the sky, the archers on both sides shot at each other, the arrows in the sky were like flying locusts, and the dragon led the troops to charge with all their might, and it was difficult to break through Cao Ren's defense in a short time, so he could only attack fiercely while sending people to report to Zhuge Liang behind.
Just when Long He led reinforcements to storm Shitang Town, Fan Zeng was also commanding 100,000 Cao troops to storm Hefei.
The arrow rain in the city is becoming more and more sparse, and even the Taishou Mansion, the county government, the granary, and the treasury have all been demolished, and the materials that can be used are getting less and less.
"Soldiers, pick up the feather arrows on the ground and shoot them."
Lu Junyi, whose face was covered with blood, bent down, pulled out feather arrows from the two corpses under his feet, and put them on the bowstring and carefully aimed at the charging Cao soldiers.
There were less than 30,000 arrows left in the city, each of which was precious, and Lu Junyi had no choice but to pull out the feather arrow that had just shot his own soldier and shot it at Cao Bing, and the bowstring sounded, shooting down two Cao soldiers.
Lu Junyi opened his bow and arrows, and at the same time pulled his throat to boost morale: "Soldiers, do you see the smoke and dust in the south, this shows that our reinforcements are close at hand, everyone hold on for a long time, General Xue will bring reinforcements to relieve the siege of Hefei."
"The city is in the people, the city is destroyed and the people are destroyed" The Han army on the city wall, covered with dust and soot, roared at the top of their throats, and they all carefully bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the Cao army under the city as much as possible to avoid wasting feather arrows.
Since there are fewer and fewer arrows, you can only increase the hit rate, otherwise you will not be able to stop the Cao army attacking like a tide.
Among the soldiers defending the city, there are many veterans who have been fighting horses for half their lives, from the early years of defending the border against the Xiongnu, to the extermination of the Yellow Turbans, to the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, and finally to the melee of the princes; There are many people who have been in the army for nearly 20 years, but no one has ever experienced such a brutal siege battle.
Since the Cao army desperately attacked the city in the early morning of yesterday, it has lasted 16 or 7 hours until noon today, and the corpses under the city of Hefei are all over the field, and the ground is full of corpses, and it is estimated that the Cao army has at least filled in the lives of more than 25,000 soldiers.
In this unprecedentedly tragic siege battle, the elite of the Cao army was exhausted, in addition to the use of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the tiger guard, the tiger army and other elites, but also invested in thunderbolts, well fences, wall cars, siege cones and other special siege equipment, excavated tunnels, and built mounds higher than the Hefei city wall, so it caused huge casualties to the defenders in the city.
At the same time that Cao soldiers were killed in 25,000 battles, the casualties of the soldiers and civilians in the city also exceeded 10,000.
"Bang" A huge rock was thrown onto the city walls by a thunderbolt, and flew towards the city like a bomb with the sound of howling wind.
The cowhide tent hung overhead for protection was so broken that it had lost its role as a barrier, and the rocks easily pierced through the walls and landed on the walls, splashing stone chips and smashing the flesh of a soldier who couldn't dodge.
"Pry the rock open and smash it back like a rolling stone" The rolling stones in the city have run out, and every stone is precious.
The Han army did not care about mourning the comrades who were stoned to death, and under the command of Lu Junyi, they used iron tongs, sledgehammers and other tools to break this 1,000-pound rock into more than a dozen pieces, and then held it above their heads and smashed down the city wall.
A burst of "crackling" hailstones fell from the sky, killing at least five or six Cao soldiers who were besieging the city, and the soldiers defending the city had tears in their eyes, silently chanting: "Brother who was stoned to death, you can look at it under the nine springs, your life has been exchanged for at least five or six thieves, your blood will never be shed in vain, the future Han rivers and mountains are picturesque, thousands of miles of spring breeze, and the history will remember your exploits."
A single rock was not enough to resolve the crisis encountered in Hefei, and the Cao army at the foot of the city wall still poured in from all directions like a tide, holding shields and shouting to launch a fierce attack.
Everyone saw the hope of breaking the city, and now Hefei is dilapidated, full of devastation, like a crumbling lantern in the cold wind, and it will fall to the ground at any time.
Seal a thousand households, reward a thousand taels of gold, and give a thousand acres of land at your fingertips, and everyone wants to win the great merit of climbing the city wall first, shelter their descendants, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the second half of their lives.
Inspired by this thought, instead of flinching because of the corpses on the ground, Cao Jun roared like a hungry beast and pounced on the walls of Hefei, although there was still a rain of arrows flying overhead, but Cao Bing did not care for himself.
"Tearing down the inner walls" Seeing Cao Bing's fierce attack, Zhu Sheng had an idea, brandished a sledgehammer, knocked down half of the battlements of the inner city wall, picked it up with his own hands and smashed it down from the city wall.
There are very few rolling stones on the head of the city, and there are even fewer trees, and even if there are, they are a few branches as thick as a baby's arm.
After receiving Zhu Sheng's order, the Han army suddenly woke up like a dream.
The battlements protruding from the inner city wall are made of many rocks, and it is just right to tear down the enemy, so let's hold on for a moment Immediately someone swung a pair of tongs into the crack in the wall, someone struck the stone with a hammer, and soon plucked a large pile of stones from the wall.
The other soldiers picked up the dusty stones and smashed them down from the city wall, relying on the stones removed from the inner city wall, the Han army blocked another wave of Cao army's onslaught.
The cold wind was bitter, and even if he was sitting in the handsome tent, Cao Cao's beard was blown and shook from time to time.
The reinforcements of the Han army have arrived, and Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong have led nearly 40,000 horses to arrive at Jinniuwu, fifteen miles south of Xiaoyaojin.
Cao Cao had already divided 30,000 troops to Cao Wenzhao and Jia Fu, and ordered the two to make a comeback and block the reinforcements from Misu at Jinniuwu, so as to gain time for the breakthrough of Hefei.
In Shitang Town, Cao Ren's performance reassured Cao Cao and blocked the path of the Han general Longju.
You only need to fight for half a day, you can take Hefei and finish it in one battle.
"Your Majesty" Sima Yi, whose shoulder injury had not yet healed, walked into the tent, coughed, and saluted: "The reason why the Han army in the city can continue to maintain high morale is nothing more than because they see the hope of being rescued.

As long as we can destroy the fighting spirit of the defenders, we can take Hefei like a withered and decayed one."
"Oh, what a clever plan" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and subconsciously stroked his shoulder.
Like Sima Yi's arrow wounds, they were all left arms and shoulders, which were also given by Xue Rengui.
The difference is that he was shot from behind, while Sima Yi was shot from the front, and in some cases, Cao Cao was even able to see his own shadow from Sima Yi's body, which made Cao Cao surprised and even vigilant at the same time, this Sima Yi is not simple After listening to Cao Cao's inquiry, Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is actually very simple, find a few soldiers who look similar to Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong to cut off their heads, and use the flagpole to pick up the reinforcements and say that the reinforcements have been killed and retreated, so the morale of the Han army defending the city will inevitably decline."
Once the spirit of the Han army collapses, it will be the time when our army breaks through the city."
"Where can I find someone similar to Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong for a while?"
Cao Cao questioned, although he agreed with Sima Yi's strategy.
Sima Yi showed a sinister smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been paying attention to the army in the past few days, and they have really found a few soldiers who are similar to Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong, and even found guys who are similar to Zhuge Liang and Han Shizhong, I will bring them to Your Majesty." t1706231537:
