    There are only 3,000 defenders in the new city. Originally, Zhao Yan and Zhu Ling only had 5,000 troops outside the city, but Cao Zhen led 5,000 troops to reinforce, which doubled Ma Su's pressure.

    Fortunately, the new city was built according to the level of a county city. It is tall and strong and has sufficient defensive equipment.

    However, for several days in a row, Cao Zhen, Zhao Yan, Zhu Ling and other three people took turns leading their troops to attack the city, without giving Ma Su any chance to breathe.

    "General, Cao Jun has dispatched another three thousand soldiers and horses!" Captain Feng Xi looked at the soldiers pouring out of Cao's camp, full of worry.

    In fact, in the past few days, Cao Jun sent 3,000 soldiers to attack the city every day.  Only this time, there are only more than a thousand soldiers in the city who can fight.

    "Three thousand soldiers, what's there to fear!" Ma Di said calmly, "Soldiers, we have repelled Cao's army several attacks, and we will still repel them this time! Moreover, the lord's army will arrive soon!  "

    "We must win!" Feng Xi waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

    ¡°We must win!¡±

    ¡°We must win!¡±

    ¡°We must win!¡±

    All the soldiers shouted, and their morale was immediately boosted.

    After Cao Jun arrived at the city, he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he adjusted the position of the Pili Chariots and placed the arrow tower between several Pili Chariots.

    The soldiers on the top of the city were unprepared and not panicked.  In fact, there is no need for any preparation. All the capable soldiers and all the defensive equipment are here.

    Ma Su¡¯s face was full of determination, and so was Feng Xi¡¯s.

    "Attack the city!" Suddenly, Cao Zhen gave the order to attack the city.

    The roar of thunderbolt chariots sounded, and Cao Jun's three thousand soldiers rushed to the city at the same time.

    "Back off!" Ma Su shouted, and all the soldiers immediately retreated.  But rocks still flew towards them, causing casualties.

    The whistling stopped, and without Ma Su and Feng Xi's orders, the soldiers immediately arrived at the crenellations of the city wall.

    Cao Jun had already set up the ladder at the top of the city and began to climb up.

    Rolling wood and thunder stones fell like a rainstorm, and countless Cao soldiers rolled down the ladder.

    The crossbowmen exchanged fire with the soldiers on Cao Jun's arrow tower, causing many Cao Jun soldiers to fall from the arrow tower.

    Although the city was protected by shield bearers, many soldiers were still shot down.

    "General, they are pushing forward with their thunderbolt chariots!" Feng Xi said loudly to Ma Su.

    Ma Su nodded while shooting arrows.  Now the Pili car has stopped because at this distance, some stones will fall on the city wall.  But after advancing for a certain distance, you can launch rocks unscrupulously.

    There were fewer and fewer crossbowmen, and they were completely suppressed by the opponent. They were unable to stop the advance of the Thunderbolt Chariot under the city.

    "General, let me lead three hundred soldiers out of the city and destroy their thunderbolt chariots!" Feng Xi said loudly.

    Feng Xi, the commander-in-chief, is brave in battle and very smart. Recently, he has become Ma Su's right-hand man.

    "No, Xiu Yuan, we have too few people to destroy the Thunderbolt Car!" Ma Su shook his head.

    Although Feng Xi¡¯s method is very good, if he can lead a thousand soldiers out of the city, it may be possible.  But with three hundred people, it's simply impossible.

    Feng Xi did not insist. Indeed, the three hundred people and the personal guards around Cao Zhen could completely block them.  It was precisely because Cao Zhen knew this that he dared to approach the Pili Chao.

    The terrifying whistling sound sounded again.

    "Shield! Shield!" Ma Di shouted.

    This time, you can¡¯t retreat, you can only block it.

    Although the shield bearer set up a protective wall, the wooden shield immediately turned into pieces under the attack of stones. After a while, the shield was gone.

    Cao Jun finally climbed to the top of the city, and the two sides started a battle.

    The thunderbolt chariot stopped, the crossbowmen stopped firing arrows, and a melee broke out at the top of the city.

    At this time, there were only more than 500 Han troops on the top of the city. It was the bravery of Ma Su and Feng Xi that supported the morale of the soldiers.  Of course, there is also the power of the Han Dao.

    But as time went by, more and more Cao Jun rushed to the city.

    Two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, seven hundred

    Under the city, Cao Zhen, Zhu Ling, and Zhao Yan had relaxed smiles on their faces.

    ¡°Rumble¡­¡± Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near.

    "Cavalry!"

    Both Cao Zhen and others below the city, as well as Ma Su and Feng Xi at the top of the city, were all surprised.

    Zhao Yan and Zhu LingYou may not know, but Cao Zhen knows very well that the cavalry still has the mission of the cavalry, so how can it appear here?  There is no need for cavalry to attack the new city!

    But doubts remain doubts, the fact is that the cavalry did appear, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the whole earth began to tremble!  And keep coming this way.

    Are you saying that you really want to use cavalry to attack the city?

    Cao Zhen below the city was just confused, but Ma Di and Feng Xi on top of the city were already desperate, because they knew that the cavalry's riding and shooting capabilities were much stronger than those of these crossbowmen, and the Han army on top of the city was already at a disadvantage.

    "Fight for the Lord, and wrap his body in horse leather, today!"

    Feng Xi cut down two Cao soldiers and shouted loudly.

    "Fight for the lord!" Ma Di also shouted, as if his strength doubled, and the two captains of Cao's army who were killed were defeated in succession.

    "Fight for the Lord!" All the soldiers shouted.

    The power of the Han sword and the battlefield of Jingzhou soldiers were completely combined to reverse the unfavorable situation.

    "The trapped beast still fights!" Cao Zhen, who was in a state of disdain, said with great disdain, "Whoever rushes to the top of the city will be rewarded a hundred dollars!"

    "General, they are Jingzhou cavalry!" Suddenly a soldier shouted in panic.

    "What, Jingzhou cavalry?" Cao Zhen was shocked. When did cavalry appear in Jingzhou?

    But this is indeed not their cavalry.

    The cavalry rushed into Cao Jun's formation in a blink of an eye and divided into two teams. Xia Houlan led one team and rushed to the bottom of the city. The ladders were cut off. Cao Jun's soldiers screamed and fell off the city. They were trampled to pieces by the galloping horses.  mud.  And those soldiers who are still under the city haven't realized what's going on?  His head flew into the sky, and Cao's army suddenly rushed to the top of the city and became a lone army.

    The other team, led by Zhao Yun, rushed towards Cao Zhen.

    "It's our surprise soldier!"

    "Our reinforcements are coming!"

    The soldiers of the Han army on the top of the city also saw it clearly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

    "Kill all these Cao soldiers and avenge the soldiers who died in the battle!"

    Ma Su and Feng Xi shouted while fighting. Since no more Cao soldiers climbed up the city, the situation of victory or defeat had completely changed.

    "General, retreat quickly!" Zhao Yan urged his horse over and shouted to Cao Zhen.

    "Retreat, retreat quickly!" Cao Zhen woke up from a dream. He had also led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and knew that facing thousands of cavalry, these infantry had no power to fight.

    Although Zhao Yun only had more than two thousand cavalry, there were four to five thousand horses, like a rolling torrent rushing over!

    Cao Jun's soldiers suffered heavy losses due to continuous attacks on the city. There were only three or four thousand left. How could they withstand the wolf-like and tiger-like Jingzhou cavalry? They were immediately defeated.

    Cao Zhen, Zhao Yan, Zhu Ling and other three people, with only their personal guards and some army commanders and horses, totaling seven or eight hundred people, escaped from the battlefield and were chased by Zhao Yun for more than fifty miles.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
