Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 816 Cao Jun's Means

"Boom... Boom... Crash..."

The two grenade-like iron balls are naturally Zhu Weijun's secret weapon, Thunderbolt Palm Thunder. Accompanied by the shock wave and ear-piercing roar that exploded from the palm thunder, and the iron skin inlaid on the outer body of the palm thunder, they flew around. Cao Jun's soldiers in front suddenly turned over a large area.

Even the armored warrior Cao Jun placed at the forefront, his ears were ringing, and he lost his fighting spirit for a while.

To be honest, the place where the two palm thunders exploded was not very far from the forefront of Zhu Weijun, so the soldiers of Zhu Weijun who were at the forefront were also tinnitus from the explosion.

It can be said that while Cao Jun's formation was blown loose by the palm thunder, Zhu Weijun's forward soldiers were also a little dazed and did not take the opportunity to charge forward.

"Get out of the way! Kill!"

At this moment, Huang Zhong came out from behind the cover of the shield formation with a lance in his hand, and swiped the lance in his hand to the front, immediately making the Zhu Weijun soldiers who were a little confused in front of him give way to a passage.

Then Huang Zhong rushed forward in a few steps, and with a sweep of the lance in his hand, he chopped off the heads of seven or eight iron-armored Cao Jun in front, and then swept the lance again, and cleared them out in front of Cao Jun's formation. There is a gap.

Huang Zhong entered Cao Jun's formation one step further, chopping or slashing, sweeping or picking with the lance in his hand, killing a dozen or so Cao Jun soldiers around him at once, and throwing their bodies to the rear of Cao Jun .

"Go! Kill!"

Only then did Zhu Weijun's soldiers react, and then they rushed forward and quickly entered Cao Jun's formation. Taking advantage of the space that Huang Zhong tore open, they squeezed into Cao Jun's formation little by little, and Cao Jun was inevitably killed. Step back.

Zhu Weijun led the way with Huang Zhong on one side, and Chen Ji on the other side rushed to the front. Although Chen Ji's martial arts could not compare with Huang Zhong's, at most he was a third-rate general, but he was enough to deal with ordinary Cao soldiers.

Therefore, under the charge of Huang Zhong and Chen Ji, Zhu Weijun immediately occupied no less than hundreds of paces of space on the city wall. As Zhu Weijun rushed up, there were a lot of Zhu Weijun soldiers on this part of the city wall.

Suddenly someone looked into the city from the city wall, and saw that there were actually a dozen Cao Jun catapults erected on the open space in the city.

"No, get out, get out!", "They're going to throw stones!"

The Zhu Weijun soldiers on the inner edge of the city wall couldn't help shouting in panic. They naturally knew how terrible this kind of stone throwing was, so many Zhu Weijun soldiers squeezed back and tried to retreat, which inevitably made the formation of Zhu Weijun's rush to the city wall a little confusing. stand up.

Lu Su, who was in the second batch of Zhu Wei's siege army at the rear, also heard the shouts in front clearly, and he understood what it was when he turned his mind.

Thinking of the defensive methods that Cao Jun might use, Lu Su's expression also changed a little. He didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately stopped his group of Zhu Weijun from continuing to charge, and at the same time notified the Zhu Weijun soldiers in front to retreat quickly.

But it seemed to be a bit late, as there were bursts of muffled noises in the city, blocks of rocks were thrown up with the sound of "woo-woo".

Many of these rocks were thrown into Puyang City by Zhu Weijun before, but now they have become Cao Jun's counterattack weapon. Pieces of rocks the size of a washbasin or the size of a watermelon are thrown up on the city wall.

Although the accuracy of Cao Jun's catapults was not high, Cao Cao also concentrated almost all the catapults in his hands and used them in this battle of defending the city, so the power they caused was quite terrifying.

For a moment, rocks fell like rain on the area of ​​the city wall captured by Zhu Weijun. Many Zhu Weijun soldiers on it were unable to dodge in time, and many of them were smashed to the ground. Many people were directly smashed to death on the spot.

At the same time, many Cao Jun archers in the city wall also raised their bodies and threw feather arrows towards the city wall.

This kind of situation looks like Cao Jun is fighting his own city wall as an enemy city, but this is not wrong. When the city wall is full of Zhu Weijun, such methods can naturally cause great damage .

That is to say, in a short period of time, the nearly 1000 Zhu Weijun who rushed up the city wall have already killed and injured more than [-] people. However, the more troublesome situation is that the area of ​​the city wall captured by Zhu Weijun was covered by the catapults and feather arrows. Unable to continue to charge up, and the soldiers of Zhu Wei who charged with Cao Jun in front also lost their backup.

In this way, Zhu Weijun, including Huang Zhong and Chen Ji, had about a thousand soldiers on both sides of the city wall, and gradually fell into the counterattack and encirclement of Cao Jun.

Even if Zhu Weijun moved the archers on the arrow tower outside the city to give some support to his own soldiers on the city wall, the gap in troop strength still caused Zhu Weijun to gradually increase the number of soldiers killed and injured on the city wall.

This situation soon spread to Zhu Weijun's central command post. Zhu Wei and Jia Xu heard the news and hurriedly let the thunderbolt catapults throw it at the backup place of Cao Jun on the city wall to relieve Huang Zhong and Chen Ji's pressure.

Then Zhu Weijun rang the gong for withdrawing troops. In this situation, it was impossible to attack the city, so Huang Zhong and Chen Ji had to withdraw first.

But even if they wanted to retreat, they had to pass through that dangerous area. Apart from the feathered arrows thrown by Cao Jun's archers below, even Huang Zhong would not dare to face the rocks thrown up by the catapult.

However, at this time, they could only fight their way out, otherwise they would have no choice but to jump off the city wall. However, the Puyang City Wall was at least six stories high. If they jumped off, they would still have a narrow escape, so it would be better to break through. What about the danger zone?

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Huang Zhong and Chen Ji gave the military order to retreat almost at the same time, and with the remaining [-] to [-] soldiers around them, they retreated quickly, and soon entered the attack area where the catapult was throwing rocks.

"Woo... bang... woo... blah..."

The rock seemed to be passing by. At this moment, everyone didn't care about others. They just rushed forward at a fast pace. It took about a few hundred steps to escape back to the slope outside the city wall, and then they could escape the falling rock. The bomb smashed.

However, not everyone has such good luck to pass by the falling rocks. Soon, more than a dozen soldiers were hit by the rocks, and they were bloody and bloody.

Even Chen Ji was spotted by a rock the size of a basketball. With the intuition of a general, Chen Ji discovered the danger, and hurriedly waved his spear to push the rock away.

But when the spear hit the rock, it was quickly broken under the heavy falling force of the rock, but the rock seemed to have been picked in some directions.

However, before Chen Ji was secretly rejoicing, another bucket-like rock landed on Chen Ji's back with lightning speed. Chen Ji spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell on the city wall without knowing what happened. superior.

Apparently even a general like Chen Ji couldn't resist the falling rocks, and the part of his back where the rock hit was obviously dented. Although his body was lifted down by his soldiers around him, he still hadn't returned to the city wall. Chen Ji has already passed away...
