Chapter 1036: Battle of Changyi (Part 2)

After another long while, everyone suddenly discovered a place at the corner of the street. The ground suddenly appeared and arched upward. Then with a "rumbling" sound, the entire ground collapsed, and large clouds of dust rose up, covering the entire street. It seems to be covered.

Seeing this, the leading general waved his hand and whispered: "Attention archers, aim at the entrance of the tunnel and prepare to shoot!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of archers quickly stepped forward, bows and arrows ready to be fired.

After a while, the dust slowly dispersed, and then, a gray-faced man stretched his head out from the collapsed ground, as if he wanted to take a look at the situation outside. Just when he found that something was wrong with the surrounding situation, he just heard There were several "swish" and "swish" arrow sounds, and dozens of sharp arrows came quickly, and they were all nailed to his head one after another. The man fell back into the tunnel without even humming.

In the tunnel at this time, a thousand Zhengdong Army soldiers were already in full formation. The five hundred soldiers in front were all fighting soldiers, and behind them were five hundred garrison soldiers. Their leading general was a school lieutenant. When he saw the first soldier who investigated the situation was shot like a hedgehog and fell down, how could the school lieutenant not know that his tunnel had been discovered by Cao Cao's army? Secretly cursing his bad luck, but at this time there was no room for them to retreat. Otherwise, once Cao Cao's army poured water or used smoke at the entrance of the cave, it would be impossible for more than a thousand of them to escape from the several miles long tunnel. Born.

Fortunately, preparations were made for this kind of situation before entering the tunnel. The captain gave an order, and dozens of soldiers wearing double armor and carrying shields walked to the entrance of the cave. Several people formed a group and shouted loudly. He put the shield in front of him, roared and rushed out of the tunnel entrance, then squatted down next to the tunnel entrance, protecting the tunnel entrance tightly.

As expected by the captain, after these soldiers rushed out, although a dozen soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, more soldiers did rush out safely, and they could only hear the "click" sound on their shields and armors. The sound kept ringing, and it was obvious that a large number of arrows hit them, but they were blocked by shields and armor.

Soon more and more Zhengdong soldiers rushed out of the cave and quickly advanced towards the streets outside the cave under the protection of shields. They had to gain a larger place as soon as possible so that they could form a formation to resist Cao Cao's soldiers. siege.

General Cao Jun saw that the soldiers coming out of the tunnel had such strong defense, and knew that arrows alone could not defeat these soldiers, so he ordered his soldiers to line up and attack the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army.

At this time, the leading captain of the Eastern Expeditionary Army had already exited the tunnel. Looking at the situation outside the cave, there were thousands of Cao Cao's troops here. He quickly formed a formation to help the subsequent soldiers come out of the tunnel, while ordering his personal guards. Send a signal outside the city.

"Chirp!"

As a loud arrow flew into the sky, a sharp whistling sound instantly sounded over the city, followed by a second and third arrow. . .

The continuous sound of arrows shocked the soldiers of both sides who were fighting. When the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army saw this, they were all very happy and shouted: "The army has entered the city!" However, Cao Cao's soldiers were frightened and uncertain, and their resistance movements were slow. A few points. When the generals of Cao Cao's army saw this, they quickly shouted: "The enemy is entering the city through a tunnel. The soldiers and horses in the city are already prepared. There is no need to panic."

At this moment, the second sounding arrow also sounded in mid-air.

Just as the second sounding arrow fell, another sounding arrow sounded in another place in the city. Soon, arrows were fired one after another throughout the city. This time, even the middle and low-level generals at the top of the city were a little panicked. Arrows rang out from so many places. How many Zhengdong soldiers had to enter the city from the tunnels? Can the defenders in the city really annihilate them all?

When the first sounding arrow sounded in the air in the city, the observing soldiers in the Chinese army's chariot had already discovered the situation and immediately reported it to Huangfu Chaobo.

Then there were sounds one after another, and basically all the soldiers on the battlefield had discovered it.

Huangfu Chaobo gave an order, and a thousand soldiers from the trap camp in Xicheng, who had already been prepared, led by Gao Shun, quickly killed towards the west city wall. Immediately afterwards, the trumpets and drums of a full-scale attack also sounded in Nancheng and Dongcheng, and the thunderous attack of the Eastern Conquest Army began.

Huangfu Chaobo has discovered that a total of ten signals have sounded in the city, which means that soldiers from at least ten tunnels have entered the city. In any case, these 10,000 soldiers will deal a fatal blow to the defenders in the city, even if Even if you can't give them a fatal blow, you can still cause chaos in the city for a period of time, and this period of time is your own opportunity.

At this time, Cao Cao was also shocked by the sound of arrows ringing out everywhere in the city. He had discovered five tunnels and made corresponding arrangements. He also arranged a large number of patrolling troops and horses in the city, but he did not expect the Eastern Expedition Army. He actually dug out more than ten tunnels, but he only had 10,000 troops and horses at his disposal. Thinking of this, Cao Cao didn't care about anything else, and immediately ordered 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to rush to the other five without troops and horses. At the tunnel, they hope to wipe out the Dongzheng Army entering the city, or at the worst, to surround them, otherwise Changyi will be in danger.

Cao Cao's reaction was not slow, but the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which had been prepared for a long time, was faster. The soldiers who had already prepared for the third wave of attack, led by the general, quickly rushed to the city wall and followed the siege set up in front. Attack the city with ladders.

The soldiers of the third wave of attack were all the most elite special forces in the Eastern Expedition Army. With their joining, the battle situation on the top of the city changed instantly. The warnings everywhere in the city had already made the soldiers on the top of the city suspicious, and the sudden attack of the elite Eastern Expedition Army caught the defenders off guard.

The person in charge of the defense of the southern wall of Changyi City was Ren Jun, the governor of Jiyin. Ren Jun, who was cautious by nature, was already alert when the arrows sounded in the city. He immediately arranged the 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers responsible for defending the city gate under the city in the city gate hole, and at the same time ordered all the Qingzhou soldiers responsible for defending the city wall at the south gate to go up to the city to prevent the Eastern Expedition Army from taking advantage of the chaos in the city to attack the city with all their strength.

Who knew that not long after his order was issued, the Eastern Expedition Army outside the city sounded the drums of a full-scale attack, and then he saw a 5,000-man Eastern Expedition Army quickly rushing out of the army formation, led by a general in silver armor and silver helmet, and rushing towards the city wall. This was when Zhang He personally led five thousand halberd soldiers to launch the third wave of attack. Behind them, more soldiers were getting ready, ready to support them as soon as the halberd soldiers achieved results on the city wall.
