Chapter 748: The Battle of Puyang Begins

Although Cao Charlie's current status in Cao's camp is not as high as that of Cao Ren brothers and Xiahou brothers, he still belongs to the line of kinship generals, slightly higher than Li Dianlejin and other foreign generals.

In addition, Xu Chu's Tiger Guards were very powerful, so Cao Cao and others had high hopes for them. Moreover, even Cao Charlie himself was not bad in ability, otherwise Xu Chu would not have been able to join his command.

After handing over the East Gate war to the Xu brothers, Cao Charlie led two hundred personal guards to the West Gate to attend the meeting.

Xiahou Dun glanced at the generals next to him and saw that they were all a little far away, so he said softly: "There is no news yet. The Sizhou Army is indeed extraordinary."

Cao Charlie said: "Yes, Huangfu Chaobo's Sizhou has been in constant war for several years, so the fighting strength of the Sizhou Army is also very important. As far as Wei Jiang knows, the Sizhou Army is divided into fighting troops and garrison troops. The fighting strength of the fighting troops is Far stronger than the defenders, depending on the situation, the army deployed throughout the day should be the defenders, and the elite troops in the central army should be their soldiers. "

As a player, Charlie Cao must have a much more detailed understanding of the Sizhou Army than NPCs like Xiahou Dun. In addition, he is a high-level general in Cao Cao's camp, so he also knows a lot of information about Cao Cao's army.

After listening to his words, Xiahou Dun nodded and said: "I have noticed it too, and his guards seem to be stronger than our county soldiers. It seems that the battle in Puyang is not as simple as we first imagined."

Charlie Cao also nodded, and then said: "Fortunately, our army is defending the city, and there are two schools of special troops as backup, so we are not afraid of Huangfu Chaobo's army. Besides, the lord's army should be returning soon. I want to come Huangfu Chaobo can only hold the white horse at most."

"I just don't know what the results of my lord's victory in Xuzhou will be. If we can capture all of Xuzhou, then the situation of our army will be completely different."

Xiahou Dun looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying: "Huangfu Chaobo thought that with these tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, he could capture my heavily defended fortified city. This is too underestimated for my Yanzhou soldiers."

"Hahaha..." Cao Charlie was stunned. When he looked towards Xiahou Dun, he found that the commander was winking at him. He looked around again and found that although the generals around him didn't say anything, they all raised their ears and listened to him. The two talked.

He immediately realized what he said and said, "What the general said is true. Let's weigh it carefully. General Pingdong, who once defeated the armies of three princes. Oh, that's wrong. It should be General Anton. How many kilograms does he have?" Come on! It’s time for the world to see the bravery of our soldiers, Cao!”

The words of the two generals made everyone around them feel at ease. Yes, although the other party is famous, Cao Jun is not a vegetarian. One million Yellow Turbans will be fought in one battle. Besides my own lord, who else in the world can do it.

Huangfu Chaobo also pacified hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, but those were only broken troops who escaped from Yanzhou's million Yellow Turban army. The elite Yellow Turbans had already been defeated by Yanzhou's soldiers.

At the thought of this, everyone was in high spirits, and for a while, the morale at the top of the city also rose a lot.

"Catapult!"

While everyone was talking, the soldier responsible for observation suddenly shouted loudly from the top of the tower.

Immediately afterwards, stone bullets roared from the sky and hit the city wall heavily, making a deafening roar. Stones fell from time to time on the city wall and everywhere inside and outside the city wall, sending up bursts of smoke and dust. The soldiers observing the enemy's situation at the top of the city scattered and fled after the warning sound.

However, some people were still unable to escape and were killed and injured. For a time, shouts, sounds of pain, and calls for help sounded from all over the city.

"Don't be chaotic. Except for the observation post, all the other soldiers have gone down to the city and hid in the caves where the soldiers were hiding. Get your catapults ready and start counterattack!" Xiahou Dun shouted;

Just as he was talking, the soldier behind him suddenly shouted: "General, be careful!"

Immediately afterwards, a huge force threw him to the ground. Before he could react, he heard a huge roar beside him. Then there was only a "crash" sound, and countless gravel splashed, hitting him.

Fortunately, he was now under the protection of several personal guards, and the stones had little effect on him.

"General..."

"Quick, quick, rescue the general..."

There was a commotion at the top of the city, and then Xiahou Dun was pulled out from a pile of broken wood on the city tower. Seeing that Xiahou Dun was safe and sound, everyone felt relieved.

Xiahou Dun is a general who is a relative of his lord. If something happens here, everyone present will not be able to escape his involvement.

Seeing the generals in disarray, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but became furious and said sternly: "Why are you panicking? I'm not dead yet!"

At this moment, the soldiers at the observation post shouted: "The enemy is approaching two hundred steps!"

After hearing his words, Xiahou Dun straightened his face and shouted sternly: "Generals, return to their positions! Order the soldiers to prepare to climb the city, the crossbowmen to prepare, and cover the fire at eighty paces! The swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen are ready to wait for the enemy. The equipment is close to the city. Get ready, and order the people below to prepare the hot oil and gold juice."

"promise..."

As his orders came out in an orderly manner, the soldiers at the top of the city suddenly calmed down and were nervously preparing for the battle.

"One hundred and fifty steps!"

"Soldiers ascend the city!"

"The general has an order, the soldiers must ascend the city!"

Then, the soldiers who were hiding from the stone-throwing under the city ran out of the hiding caves one by one, rushed to the top of the city, and ran towards their pre-arranged positions. At this time, the catapults outside the city were still wreaking havoc. From time to time, dozens of kilograms of stones fell from the sky, hitting the top of the city or inside and outside the city wall, stirring up large amounts of dust and gravel.

"One hundred steps!"

Seeing that the siege infantry began to enter the range of one hundred steps, the Sizhou Army's catapults began to slowly stop the stone-throwing attack. Seeing this, the city guard immediately passed on the order: "Catapults are ready, go to the enemy's catapult position at three hundred steps, and fire!"

As the order came out from the top of the city, dozens of huge stones flew up from the top of the city and flew towards the position of the Sizhou Army's catapults. In the Sizhou Army's catapult formation under the city, two catapults were soon hit by stones and smashed into a pile of broken wood. The soldiers next to them were hit by the wood chips and stones flying everywhere, and screams and cries for help suddenly rang out.

The general in charge of the equipment saw this and realized that the catapults in the city were placed behind the city wall. He immediately ordered all the catapults to move forward ten steps and fired two rounds of volleys at the top of the city wall.

After a round of volleys, although the Sizhou army lost more than a dozen catapults, the catapult positions in the city were also smashed into a mess. At this time, the Sizhou army catapults had to withdraw from the siege range because the main siege soldiers had entered the 80-step distance, and the catapults would not accidentally throw stones at the heads of their own soldiers.
