    Due to the large number of Cao's troops, the traps Zhang He dug during this period did not last long.

    Except for the initial damage caused by the trap, all subsequent ones were destroyed by the opponent.

    The potholes on the ground only slowed down the opponent's progress.

    Therefore, Cao Jun quickly broke through the trap defense line.

    At this moment, a captain shouted: "Launch!"

    There was a bang sound, like a vibrating bowstring, but the sound was much louder, far from the loud sound that an ordinary bow and arrow could make.

    Then he saw dozens of long arrows as tall as a person shot out instantly and flew towards Cao Jun.

    The long arrow arrived in an instant, and when it went down, it penetrated three Cao soldiers in a row before finally stopping.

    Without exception, all Cao¡¯s troops who were penetrated were killed on the spot.

    When the surrounding Cao soldiers saw the terrifying lethality of the long arrow, and looked at the size of his arrow that was far beyond ordinary, their expressions changed.

    This is the latest weapon developed by Liu Ke, the Divine Arm Bed Crossbow.

    Its range can reach more than one mile, and its lethality is extremely terrifying.

    Even a hard city wall can be shot into by one foot. It is conceivable how a flesh and blood body can resist.

    These craftsmen all received Liu Ke¡¯s true biography, and they were specially used by Zhang He this time.

    And before leaving, Liu Ke once said that the divine arm bed crossbow is not a trivial matter and must not fall into the hands of Cao Jun.

    At the critical moment, in order to maintain confidentiality, these craftsmen were personally handled by Zhang He, and all the manufactured divine arm bed crossbows were destroyed.

    It can also be seen from this that Liu Ke attaches great importance to the technology of this weapon.

    Zhang He had never had the opportunity to see the power of the divine arm bed crossbow before. When he saw it today, even he was frightened.

    Every time the crossbow is fired, it even requires a horse or four or five people to use a winch to pull it open, but compared with its terrifying power, it is completely acceptable.

    Zhang He, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, understands that such a powerful crossbow cannot simply kill a few more enemy soldiers.

    Its psychological shock to the enemy is even more terrifying.

    Especially at this moment, Cao Jun charged intensively, and with each salvo, hundreds of Cao Jun soldiers were killed by crossbows.

    The frightened Cao Jun was frightened.

    Looking at the scene below the city, Zhang He couldn't help but sigh.

    "Alas! The God's Arm Bed Crossbow is as strong as it gets, but the manufacturing process is too complicated. Only fifteen of them were made in so many days.

    If thousands of them attack at the same time, I am afraid that the opponent's 100,000-strong army will collapse in an instant.  "

    In fact, Zhang He is not the only one who has such an idea, Liu Ke also thinks so.

    Others don¡¯t know it, but Liu Ke is well aware of the power of the bed crossbow.

    It is not a product of this era. Even if people of this era imitate it, it will never have such power.

    This divine arm bed crossbow was only invented during the Northern Song Dynasty, which was nearly a thousand years ahead of its time.

    Now, even Liu Ke only has 300 units.

    However, Liu Ke believes that within a year, the sight of thousands of crossbows will definitely appear, but he just doesn¡¯t know which unlucky person they will use them on.

    The destructive power of the divine arm crossbow is powerful, but Zhang He has too few in his hands.

    In addition, each release takes a long time, so after only three rounds, Cao Jun was already within 100 meters.

    This distance is already within the killing range of bows and arrows.

    Therefore, the defenders who had been prepared at the top of the city immediately launched their attack.

    Countless arrows flew towards Cao Jun's head like they covered the sky and the sun.

    But for ordinary bows and arrows, Cao Jun reacted equally quickly, holding up his shield and blocking most of them.

    You must know that these Cao soldiers are the elite in Cao Ren's hands.

    After all, the purpose of this siege is to achieve a quick victory.

    Otherwise, when Ma Chao from the direction of Qian County gets the news, he will definitely attack.

    By then fighting on both sides, Cao Ren would be passive.

    Therefore, Cao Ren only gave Han Hao ten days, which also included marching back and forth.

    After this time, even if Han Hao successfully breaks the city, he will still be subject to military law.

    Under the cover of shields, Cao Jun finally approached the city.

    Then someone rushed towards the city wall carrying a ladder.

    When the defenders saw that Cao Jun had arrived, they immediately followed up with the next round of attacks.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????? away.All kinds of things were thrown down one after another.

    These heavy objects cannot be resisted by a shield.

    Even though he was wearing a helmet, if the huge rolling stone hit him, his brain would burst and he would die on the spot.

    At the same time, several large pots were set up on the city wall.

    The oil in the pot was already boiling hot. Seeing Cao's army approaching the city, he poured it in without hesitation.

    The temperature of the hot oil is extremely high, and if it sticks even slightly, the skin will burst open.

    Those Cao troops within its coverage have all lost their combat effectiveness.

    This was not enough for the defenders. Someone took out a piece of burning firewood from under the boiler and threw it down.

    With the help of strong oil, the underground instantly turned into purgatory, a raging fire broke out, and Cao's army fled in all directions.

    Han Hao, who was in the rear, felt very anxious when he saw that his sergeant was so seriously injured.

    But he understands that since ancient times, sieges have always consisted of piling up human lives and fighting a war of attrition against the opponent.

    "I just didn't expect that the opponent's determination was so firm and that the prepared defense methods were so sufficient.

    It is only a rough estimate that at least a thousand soldiers have died under the city.

    This has just begun. As the siege continued, more and more Cao Jun suffered casualties.

    Han Hao looked more and more anxious.

    "Pass the order, the first one to get there will be rewarded with a hundred golds, and the one who seizes the city will be granted the title of Thousand Households of Marquis!"

    Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!

    Stimulated by the generous bounty, Cao's army marched towards the top of the city.

    Finally, a Cao soldier broke through the heavy defense of the defenders and climbed to the top of the city.

    Seeing that the reward of one hundred taels was about to be obtained, how could the other party allow his intrusion?

    The defenders on the top of the city immediately surrounded him, and several people joined forces and hacked him to death in an instant.

    This man¡¯s eyes were wide open, as if he was still looking at the reward he was about to receive, but he could only cash it in the next life.

    Cao¡¯s army was rich in rewards and salary, but the defenders also made no concessions.

    Because they know in their hearts that if they want to defend this lonely city, they can only rely on themselves.

    In a short period of time, there will be no reinforcements. The only way to survive is to fight to the death.

    The sun was setting in the west and it was getting late. Han Hao, who was unwilling to accept it, finally ordered his men to withdraw their troops.

    When taking stock of the battle situation, Han Hao made a shocking discovery.

    In just one day, he paid the price of two thousand people, but the city was still unscathed.

    Han Hao was very unwilling, but after a whole day of siege, his sergeants were extremely exhausted.

    Whether it¡¯s physical fatigue or psychological shock.

    In the end, Han Hao could only decide to fight again tomorrow, hoping to win in one fell swoop.

    After a day of attrition, Zhang He's defenders also suffered a heavy price. At least five to six hundred people died today.

    But the only good thing is that the city was finally defended!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
