Chapter 679: Fake It for Real

Xue County.

"kill!"

Within a few miles around Xue County, as far as the eye could see, the Liangzhou Army in black armor was everywhere. Tens of thousands of people surrounded Xue County and stormed the city.

Four or five soldiers pushed the ladder cart forward. Cao's army at the top of Xue County City saw that the enemy was about to attack the city. They all aimed at the Liangzhou soldiers holding the ladder and fired arrows. Suddenly, arrows were fired.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

Liangzhou soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich experience in battle, so they are naturally well prepared. Each of them held a large shield as high as one person, which almost covered them all. The arrows fired from the top of the city were nailed to the wooden shields and ladder trucks, making a dull thud sound.

Although the ladder was heavy and heavy, it moved forward resolutely, and finally got close to the city wall.

The ladder truck was guarded by a group of soldiers. The captain with a scar on his face roared: "Put up the ladder!"

The brave soldiers threw down their big shields, and under the cover of their own archers, they lifted up the ladder with all their strength. They saw that the ladder, which was divided into several sections, stood upright, constantly leaning against the city wall. Finally, with a snap, the iron hook lifted the city head. Hold on tightly and cannot be separated. This kind of heavy ladder cannot be built by ordinary bandits and bandits. Only elite soldiers can carry it. The iron hook on it can hook the city head and the defenders cannot push it away with a bumper.

But as the saying goes, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. Cao Jun in the city did not panic, but moved a large barrel.

"Pour the golden juice!"

The dung juice was boiling in the bucket, bubbling and bubbling, taking on a yellow-to-gold color, and emitting an unpleasant stench.

Several Cao soldiers held their breath, suppressed their disgust, and poured the golden juice down with all their strength.

"ah!"

The golden juice was poured on the heads of several Liangzhou soldiers. Their leather armors were immediately burned, and their flesh was torn open by the scalding. The unbearable pain made them wail loudly and lay on the ground rolling back and forth.

Gold juice can be said to be an ancient biochemical weapon. It has basically no solution. Even if you don't die on the spot after being poured, you will be infected and die within a few days after being carried back. It is very poisonous, but it is also a weapon for defending the city, so the soldiers love it and love it. hatred.

The golden juice poured on the ladder truck, and the wooden board was burned by the boiling golden juice. The well-made ladder truck suddenly became a scrap.

Although there were occasional casualties, most of the Liangzhou troops had experienced hundreds of battles and had extremely tenacious fighting will. Therefore, they ignored them and continued to launch fierce attacks. More and more Liangzhou troops climbed up on their hands and feet towards the top of the city. Approach slowly.

Whoosh whoosh!

At the top of the city, arrows were flowing like rain. The Cao army at the top of the city fired arrows desperately, trying to suppress the Liangzhou soldiers from attacking the city; while the archers of the Liangzhou army below the city were not to be outdone, and shot arrows in their hands. On top of the city, cover Paoze with firepower to attack the city.

The battle was in full swing, but Xue County was just a little-known town with a city wall just over a foot high, so Liangzhou soldiers quickly climbed to the top of the city.

Liangzhou soldiers wearing black clothes and armor, with fierce faces, appeared on top of the city.

"Kill the thief!"

Dozens or hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers shouted angrily, raised their swords and attacked.

"The general has orders to stop the enemy!"

When Cao's soldiers at the top of the city saw the Liangzhou army attacking, they were also not afraid. They raised their swords and shields and faced them.

Above the city, there was a flash of swords, swords and axes intersecting, and sparks colliding. The two soldiers were gnashing their teeth, as if they were sworn enemies facing each other who killed their father and mother.

The Liangzhou army was brave and good at fighting, and they came with great morale to regain Xue County. As a steady stream of Liangzhou soldiers climbed to the top of the city, Cao Bing finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the front line maintained at the top of the city began to slowly move towards the female soldiers. Retreat near the wall.

"Behead the one who retreats!"

A loud shout resounded through the city, and the Liangzhou army looked around, only to see an angry General Cao Jun striding over, followed by more than a hundred elite soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that this general of Cao Jun was blind in one eye and covered it with silk. The remaining eye was full of brilliance.

"General Xiahou is here!"

"Counterattack, counterattack!"

Xiahou Dun gave a loud shout and took the lead in charging forward. The steel gun in his hand was extremely sharp. All he could see was a flat thrust, and the spear tip instantly penetrated the armor and lower abdomen of a Liangzhou soldier, and came out from behind him with a bright red spear tip.

Xiahou Dun swung it hard and pulled it out casually. The Liangzhou soldier screamed and fell to the side. Instead, the brave Liangzhou soldiers were aroused and surrounded Xiahou Dun. They raised their swords and fought against the enemy with all their strength.

However, he was calm and unafraid. He used a steel gun in his hand to pick and kill, and like a dragon, he wandered through the gaps between many Liangzhou soldiers, and immediately killed several more people.

The armor soldiers behind him rushed forward to protect Xiahou Dun's back and flanks. With Xiahou Dun as the core, they continuously killed Liangzhou soldiers and stabilized the front.

Xiahou Dun rushed to the rescue in time, and the morale of Cao's soldiers at the top of the city was boosted. They raised their weapons again and charged forward.

"Drive the Liangzhou army off the city wall!"

"Kill, we must not let the Liangzhou soldiers come up."

The morale of Cao's soldiers was greatly boosted, and they stabilized their position, and then fought forward step by step. On the other hand, the Liangzhou Army on the opposite side was locked in a bitter battle, with fewer and fewer comrades around them, and even the tough-minded veterans couldn't help but panic.

Many Liangzhou soldiers want to retreat, but military discipline is strict and General Yu is strict in running the army. If they retreat without paying the money, they will be punished afterwards. In serious cases, they may even be beheaded to maintain military discipline.

Therefore, the Liangzhou soldiers on the top of the city had to stand back to back, relying on each other and supporting each other.

Buzz!

At this moment, the sound of gold ringing suddenly sounded in the military formation. Hundreds of Liangzhou troops were like rain falling from the sky, all cheering and preparing to retreat. Although the elite Liangzhou soldiers retreated, they still did not lose their position. Instead, those who exhausted their strength retreated first, and those who had more strength stopped behind, retreating alternately and in an orderly manner.

Poof!

"Well"

Xiahou Dun grunted, pierced the throat of the Liangzhou soldier in front of him with a spear, kicked him on his armor, and used his strength to pull out the steel gun. He looked around and saw that apart from the dead bodies scattered all over the city, there was nowhere else. A living Liangzhou soldier?

"call"

He breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Clean the city wall, carry the injured Paoze down for treatment, leave a group of men and horses to guard the formation, and the rest will take a rest."

Hearing this, all Cao soldiers who had fought hard for a long time breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down one after another. During the bloody battle just now, it was nothing to be extremely nervous, but they suddenly stopped. They only felt aches and pains in their backs. Although some Cao soldiers did not. The wound was struck by the heavy weapon used by the Liangzhou soldiers. It had been injured secretly and was quite uncomfortable.

"Damn it, why didn't Zixiao take Lujiang? The casualties were too great." Xiahou Dun said angrily.
