The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao rode on his horse and moved forward on the long and narrow mountain road.

The terrain of Yizhou is indeed not suitable for large army operations.

Not only marching, but also transporting food and siege equipment is a troublesome task.

Historically, when Zhuge Liang attacked Chencang during his second Northern Expedition, he attacked Hao Zhao with ten times the force.

As a result, after more than twenty days of siege, the troops retreated because they ran out of food.

It's not that there is no food in Yizhou, but the roads are rugged and it is difficult to transport food.

However, this also strengthened Cao Cao's determination to occupy Yizhou.

Because Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, no matter how strong Zhou Cheng's cavalry is and how many troops there are, it will be difficult to achieve much here.

Moreover, Liu Zhang is not difficult to deal with.

Of course, Cao Cao has not been in Yizhou for a long time now. He needs to accumulate strength, win over Liu Zhang's cronies, and alienate Liu Zhang's confidants.

At this time, Xun Yu said:"Lord, after crossing the river in front, we will reach Brazil."

Cao Cao said:"Stop and rest first."

Although he was going to support Brazil County, Cao Cao was not in a hurry.

Pang Xi, the governor of Brazil County, was Liu Yan's old subordinate, and he married his daughter to Liu Zhang's son.

According to Zhang Song's previous reminder, Pang Xi now takes Brazil as his own.

Therefore, Cao Cao's arrival may cause Pang Xi to misunderstand.

Cao Cao has been conquering the world for many years, and the princes all have the idea of ​​tearing apart the earth and becoming king, but not many fools actually do this.

Pang Xi was next to Zhang Lu and had been at war with him for many years, but he was also far away from Chengdu. It was normal for him to have the idea of ​​establishing his own business.

Following Cao Cao's order to rest.

Cao Jun camped along the river bank and made a fire to prepare for dinner.

Xun You, Xun Yu and others naturally understood Cao Cao's thoughts, and they also supported Cao Cao in doing so.

Let Zhang Lu and Pang Xi fight first. If Pang Xi loses, he will naturally turn to Cao Cao.

You can even kill someone with a borrowed knife, get rid of Pang Xi with the help of Zhang Lu, and stay in Brazil County

……

A large number of crossbowmen were deployed in both the outer and inner urn cities.

At the same time, firewood, kerosene, etc. were prepared on the city wall.

As soon as Cao Cao's troops entered the city, Pang Xi fired thousands of arrows and killed Cao Cao.

Pang Xi's idea is good.

However, Pang Xi soon received the report from the scouts

"What? Cao Mengde camped by the river? Pang

Xi was stunned when he heard this. He also thought that Cao Cao had stopped moving forward.

Could this be Liu Zhang and Cao Cao's plan?

In order to find out what Cao Cao was thinking, Pang Xi sent his confidant Wang Dong to visit Cao Cao in his camp.

……

Cao Cao stopped advancing, but Zhang Wei's 30,000 troops were already approaching the city.

Very different from the past, this time Zhang Lu's army had a large number of siege equipment.

At the same time, there are also standard armors, weapons, and a large number of cavalry

"General."Pang Xi's men were also frightened by the army outside the city.

When did Zhang Lu's army become so 'elite'?

At this time, Zhang Weishao looked slightly interested. He pulled out his sword from his waist and pointed at it. From the direction of the city, he shouted:"Attack the city!"

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,, for, for you,...a low and repressive horn sound. Boom, boom, boom... hundreds of strong men, bare-shouldered, swinging the drumsticks vigorously. As the drums sounded, the trebuchets began to throw stone projectiles.

Bang! Bang!" Bang!

Stones fell on the top of the city. The defenders on the city had never seen such an offensive by Zhang Lu's army.

It is undeniable that Pang Xi failed every time he went to attack Zhang Lu.

However, every time Zhang Lu attacked, Passes and fortresses were all defeated.

Moreover, when Zhang Lu attacked the city in the past, he only built a few siege equipment such as ladders.

There were no well railings, Linchong, trench bridges, or trebuchets...

Pang Xi looked at it. Seeing everything in front of me, I subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword in my hand.

"Prepare kerosene!"

"Prepare wood and rolling stones!"

"Crossbow ready!"

Pang Xi had been on the road for many years and immediately deployed to defend the city.

On the stove at the top of the city, there was boiling oil in a pot. He was just waiting for the ladder to approach and poured the oil down.

At the same time, the archers were also preparing at the top of the city.

Whoops. Whoosh...

The archers on the well fence began to shoot arrows towards the city.

The defenders were caught off guard, and countless people fell to the ground in the middle.

"Hahaha."

Zhang Wei watched the battle at the top of the city and couldn't help laughing and said:"The first one to climb the city will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

"kill!""kill!""kill!"

The infantry holding swords and shields walked in the front, and those holding spears and spears came behind, advancing towards the city step by step.

When Pang Xi saw this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, and said:"Fire the arrow!"

The archers on the top of the city finally began to shoot arrows down the city.
