The shield soldiers were in front, the archers were in the middle, and the last was the main force carrying the scaling ladder. The entire team slowly advanced, approaching the city.
After entering the shooting range, the shield soldiers raised their shields to block the arrow rain on the city wall. The archers pulled back their bows to suppress the arrow rain. The scaling ladder troops took advantage of the reduced arrow rain to quickly cross the city wall. The scaling ladders were erected one after another, and the Cao soldiers began to climb.
The intense offensive and defensive battle officially began!
"Put the putter!"
A long push rod was taken out, and the head was formed by a semicircle fork. A few soldiers formed a group and worked together to fork the top of the ladder and push it out. The Cao soldiers who were trying their best to climb either fell to their deaths or were injured.
"Pour the kerosene!"
"Light the fire!"
The kerosene spread down the ladder, and the Cao soldiers could not hold on to it steadily. They fell down one after another. Those who were lucky could survive, but those who were unlucky fell to their deaths on the spot.
There were even some who were able to ignite the entire ladder with a single spark. The Cao soldiers would either fall to their deaths or be engulfed by the flames.
Seeing that Wang Mou was not flustered at all, Cao Cao frowned.
"Yu Jin, you go too!"
"Yes!"
Following Yu Jin's order, two great killing weapons were brought out. They were the Jing Lan and the Crash Car.
More than a dozen carts were pushed by the soldiers and gradually approached the city wall.
The well fence was taller than the city wall, so it had the advantage of shooting from above. However, this thing was heavy and slow. It was usually disassembled and carried around, and only assembled when used.
Looking at the approaching behemoths, Wang Mou frowned slightly.
This thing was quite lethal to the defending army, and the enemy troops were all hidden inside, so it was very difficult to attack.
"Shieldbearers, get ready! Prepare the rockets!"
When the well carts approached, the Cao soldiers inside immediately fired wave after wave of arrows at the city walls, greatly reducing the damage output of the city walls, providing strong support and cover for the attacking teams.
However, Wang Mou was already prepared. First, the shieldbearers stepped forward to block the rain of arrows, and then the archers fired the ignited fire arrows.
The well was made of wood, so it naturally couldn't escape the flames.
In other words, this thing was a one-time use item. Its function was to suppress the enemy for a while. It was also expensive and not a practical tool.
However, this period of cover had already allowed many Cao soldiers to successfully climb up the city walls. They were currently engaged in a battle with the defenders, fighting for a foothold.
The person at the front was none other than the valiant general Le Jin. He was unstoppable and killed the defending troops until they retreated step by step!
When did this guy charge up?
"Er 'Lai!"
"Don't worry, Young Master!"
Dian Wei, who was beside Wang Mou, dashed forward with his twin iron halberds in his hands. His ferocious appearance frightened both the enemy and the soldiers on his side!
"Move aside!"
With a furious roar, the guards made way and released the beast.
Seeing Dian Wei charging at him, Le Jin was so scared that his little heart trembled. However, he could not retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and go forward.
"I'm not afraid of you. Kill!"
Unable to fight for three rounds, Le Jin was sent flying by the halberd and his weapon fell out of his hand. He was so frightened that he quickly jumped onto the top of the city wall and slid down the ladder.
"Where are you running to?"
Dian Wei rushed forward and pushed hard. The ladder that required several people to lift was pushed away by him alone.
Halfway through, Le Jin was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly jumped to the side and shouted," Catch me!”
At this moment, he could only bet on luck!
His luck was not bad. When he landed, there were two people who were used as his scapegoats. However, he was also hit so badly that he almost couldn't get up.
With Dian Wei taking action, there was no need to worry about a mere Le Jin. Wang Mou did not pay any attention to him. Instead, he went to the top of the city gate because a few charging carriages were already approaching the city gate.
"Get on the stone plate!"
It was the same stone plate with ropes tied to it as yesterday. It was slow and difficult to dodge. In a few moments, it was smashed into pieces. It could not even touch the city gate.
Cao Cao's eyelids twitched as he watched from behind. This Wang Mou was even so good at defending the city. He was truly a formidable opponent!
Under such circumstances, there was no other way but to increase the strength of the attack.
Thus, Cao Cao waved his hand, and another dozen or so carriages rushed out, followed by a large number of soldiers.
Under the suppression of the well lanche, more and more Cao soldiers climbed up the city wall and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders.
Wang Mou also picked up his Bloodsucker and joined the battle. As he fought, he shouted to boost morale. He also had to take care of the entire battlefield, wishing he could conjure a few clones.
The intense battlefield was like a meat grinder. Every moment, the corpses of Cao soldiers would fall. The battle on the city wall was even more intense. The defenders began to suffer casualties, and they were still increasing.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. War was like this. If they killed 1,000 enemies, they would lose 800 of their own. Fortunately, the defensive side still had the city as a support. Otherwise, these ordinary Xu Prefecture soldiers would not be able to stop the Cao army and the veterans on the battlefield.
Time slowly passed as Wang Qing fought. The sun moved from the east to the west and was about to disappear into the horizon.
After an entire day of fighting, the Cao army still could not gain a firm foothold on the city walls. Cao Cao sighed helplessly and gave the order to retreat.
The moment the chime sounded, the Cao army retreated like the tide. The city walls cheered because if they defended, it was equivalent to winning!
