Outside Chencang City, the war smoke had already risen, and the Han army rushed towards Chencang like a tide. The rain of arrows whistling by continued to fall on the top of Chencang City. The entire city was like a small boat in a storm, as if it would be destroyed by the Han army at any time.

However, it has been three days since Huang Zhong received the news from Chen Dao. Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and Yang Ren took turns to attack the city. It was obvious that he was about to capture it, but Chen Cang seemed to have inexplicable resilience. Although he was in danger, he was always a little short of it, which made people feel like a cat caught in his heart.

The generals guarding the city knew that their bows and arrows were not as good as those of the Han army, so they rarely fought against the Han army. When the Han army was shot, they would let the soldiers hide under the female wall. When the siege troops attacked, they would immediately jump out when the arrow rain stopped, rolled wood, rocks, and burned tincture oil, and fired bows and arrows were shot down. When the Han army's arrow rain came over again, they would immediately jump back to the female wall to avoid it.

The opponent's routine of defending the city is not complicated, basically those, but Huang Zhong and Yan Yan both discovered that the other party is familiar with these routines and uses them skillfully. In fact, many generals can use this point, but the most important point is that this person is not greedy. Even if there is some chaos in the Han army, they will never take advantage of the situation to pursue. As long as they see their own arrows, they will immediately hide behind the female wall, and they are extremely sensitive to the fighter jets.

It is not necessarily very strong, but it is very stable. It is more concerned about the lives of the soldiers and will not fight randomly. Huang Zhong and the other two attacked for three days, but Chen Cang showed no sign of being broken. The well made by the engineers was burned by the other party, and the rushing cart was not spared. Various burned equipment could be seen everywhere outside Chen Cang City. The stone bullets of the throwing cart had never stopped. The enemy building of the opponent was smashed, and even the city wall was bumpy and cracked, but Huang Zhong felt like a dog was gnawing a turtle...

"Who is the guard in this city?" The sky had completely dimmed. Huang Zhong gave the order to ring the gold helplessly, and gritted his teeth and asked as he looked at the Han army retreating like a tide.

Yang Ren shook his head, and the other party had a banner with the word "Hao" hanging on the head of the city, but there were many generals in the Guanzhong area of ​​Wei State, and there were not even famous ones. Who knows which one?

Yan Yan returned from his troops and his brows were a little tight. Chen went there to win the first battle, but defeated the famous general Xu Huang in just three days. However, the three of them failed to break through Chen Cang, a nameless person guarding, which made Yan Yan feel a little anxious.

Not only him, Huang Zhong and Yang Ren were also anxious, not only because it was difficult to break the city, but also because of his own reputation. With the example of Chen Dao here, they naturally didn't want to be blocked by an unknown person.

"Why would I lead my army to attack at night tonight?" Yan Yan looked at Huang Zhong and asked.

Huang Zhong shook his head: "The Wei general is quite good at guarding, so there may not be a chance at night!"

When siegeing the city, you are not afraid of meeting any famous generals. The most feared thing is to meet such generals who are good at defending. After all, there are so many routines to defend the city. The gap between famous generals and ordinary generals is not obvious. Sometimes famous generals may not have a cautious and ordinary general who performs well in defending the city, because most famous generals like to win unexpectedly. Huang Zhong can see this clearly. Although he is also a little uncomfortable, he is not anxious.

When Liu Yi was in Nanzhong, he was so stable. He paved the way all the way, and no matter how anxious his temperament was, he could be smoothed out.

"We are trapped here by an unknown person? Look at Uncle Chen's achievements!?" Yan Yan said dissatisfied.

"Shuzhi can break the city in three days, but his command has no flying army. This team is quite elite. It was trained by Mo Hou and Shuzhi, equipped with the army built by Mo Hou for them. Moreover, these flying troops are good at climbing and have great strength. Each of them can use one to ten. They can climb up the city wall with a pair of steel claws. Are there such people in our army?" Huang Zhong asked back.

"This..." Yan Yan was speechless. This was the first time he knew that the barbarian soldier under Chen Dao had such skills. He shook his head and Yan Yan frowned and said, "But is it just to waste with an unknown man?"

"You and I don't have much reputation!" Huang Zhong glanced at Yan Yan. Only he could say Yan Yan in this army. After all, he was older and he was older. He didn't mean to rely on his seniority. He just asked a junior to command him. He felt awkward. It would be different if he was older. After all, the commander who completely let go like Liu Yi is rare in ancient and modern times. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had the same idea, so they brought the two together.

Yan Yan heard this and had nothing to say. He was still a little famous in Bashu, a famous general in Shu, but he really came out of Shu... No one knew about him.

"What should I do?" Yan Yan looked at Huang Zhong and asked.

"Actually, our army has been suppressing the Cao army so far. There is no need to break through Chen Cang as soon as possible because of the attack of Mei County. It's not that we can't afford to consume it now, but that the Cao army cannot afford to consume it. When the general of the chariot and cavalry led his army out, Chen Cang is an isolated city. The enemy general can block us for three days. Do you think he can block us for thirty days?" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

In fact, it is difficult to defeat a city with heavy troops in three days. Not to mention one month, three months and half a year are normal. Chen Dao can defeat Xu Huang in three days, and there is some luck in it. Huang Zhong can clear this, so he is not in a hurry.

"If you want to break the city, I will destroy Yong County with you three thousand soldiers!" Huang Zhong looked at Yan Yan and said.

Now that Ji County has been captured and Chen Cang has been surrounded, Yong County has become an isolated city, and there are not many troops stationed, so it is not difficult to attack, and three thousand men are enough.

"Then this Chen Cang..." Yan Yan looked at Huang Zhong and frowned.

"I will ask Yuanliang to build a high platform outside the city and shoot it with bows and arrows every day." Huang Zhong smiled. The engineers in the army are of great use at this time. They can build the buildings they want as quickly as possible.

Yan Yan nodded and did not say anything about going to Yong County. Once Chen Cang was broken, Yong County was just by the way. That place was not a strategic location, and it was useless to capture it. Chen Cang broke through, and Yong County could be captured by the way. Why do you need to let him lead his troops to attack?

That night, Huang Zhong called Cen Yuanliang, organized engineers, and built a high platform outside Chen Cang. The Han army had the advantage of range. The platform did not have to be much higher than the opponent, and it was even level. The bows and arrows could shoot to the top of Chen Cang. No matter how high it was, it was just to see the reality of Chen Cang.

...

"General!" The next morning, Hao Zhao had just gotten up when he saw a captain hurried in. When he saw Hao Zhao, he bowed and said, "General, the Han army built a high platform outside the city, and is shooting arrows into the city at this moment!"

"Haotai?" Hao Zhao frowned, nodded, put on his armor, and hurriedly took people to the city to watch.

Before he could climb up to the city, he heard a sound of breaking through the air in his ears. The preparatory lieutenant quickly blocked a shield in front of Hao Zhaohe himself.

“Tu tu tu tu tu ~”

With three muffled sounds, Hao Zhao looked at the arrow that was less than an inch away from his nose, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The Han army's crossbows were awesome in the past three days, but he didn't expect that he would be so rampant today!

"General, lie down quickly. Those Han soldiers saw us!" The captain pulled Hao Zhao, lay on the ground, and crawled forward.

Hao Zhao did not care about his image and followed him down, like a silkworm pupa, slowly moved to the female wall. Through the gap between the walls, Hao Zhao finally saw the situation opposite, but saw high platforms or arrow towers that were more than one meter higher than Chen Cang's wall. The arrow tower was very wide, and the distance between the two arrow towers was only about one or two meters. If you don't look closely, you would think there was another wall outside Chen Cang, and there were archers shooting arrows into the city on the arrow tower. Hao Zhao estimated the height of the other party. That height, the situation inside Chen Cang was probably clear.

"Pili Car!" Hao Zhao waved his hand and said to his general that Yuan Shao had used this strategy during the Battle of Guandu that year, but it was broken by Cao Cao with a pili Car.

"It's useless." The general smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The thunderbolt chariot in our army cannot reach the other party's range. I'm afraid that only the catapult seized from Jiangdong can be used."

In recent years, there has been few wars between Cao and Liu since the Battle of Nanyang. However, they fought with Sun Quan twice. Although they did not make any contribution, they also seized several catapults. The catapults had a very long range and a high hit rate.

Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to transport such a catapult cart from Runan to here, and it is usually used to deal with Sun Quan on the spot.

Hao Zhao was a little worried when he heard this. The range was not enough, so how could he fight? If the arrow tower was kept forever, some of his military operations could not escape the opponent's eyes. These arrow towers must be destroyed, otherwise they would have to be beaten.

These arrow towers must be destroyed!

Hao Zhao took the man to lie under the female wall, thinking hard about countermeasures. Now it is not easy to get a job.

That night, Hao Zhao took the initiative to attack for the first time after the war started, personally leading 800 elite soldiers out of the city and wanted to burn these arrow towers, but Huang Zhong was prepared for it. The engineers set up many traps in front of the arrow tower, and set up several bronze mirrors to gather lights. As soon as Hao Zhao left the city, someone fell into the trap and screamed. Then he was shining by several lights. A rain of arrows fell, and Hao Zhao brought 800 elite soldiers out of the city. In just a while, when he retreated, there were only more than 400 people left, which lost nearly half of them.

Since the strong attack was not possible, Hao Zhao ordered people to dig tunnels in the city, preparing to touch the arrow towers through the tunnels and destroy the arrow towers.

This time, there were indeed some effects. More than 30 arrow towers were burned by Hao Zhao overnight, but his own damage was quite serious. Hao Zhao could only give up burning more arrow towers and retreat to the city.
