The archer on Cao Jun's Jinglan can be said to be the most unlucky on the battlefield. Once a Jinglan is found close to the city wall, the Thunderbolt on the city will greet them as soon as possible. In terms of accuracy, although the Thunderbolt is not satisfactory, However, the advantage in number can't stand.

The most tragic is Cao Jun, who not only has to endure the threats from Thunderbolt cars and bed crossbows, but also worry about the boulders falling on top of his head during the process of climbing the ladder.

After five consecutive days of siege, the walls of Xiapi were covered with blood stains, and there were broken arms and limbs everywhere under the city. The situation on the city was also not optimistic, especially after Cao Jun used the elite Qingzhou army and attacked several times. On the city wall, if it were not for Zang Ba to kill someone in time, I am afraid that the city wall has been broken by Cao Jun.

The price Cao Jun paid was also huge. In the five-day siege, the number of soldiers who died outside the city reached 2,000, and the loss of the defenders reached 500. The losses between the two sides were about one ratio. Four.

If the siege is replaced by the Xuzhou Army, the Xuzhou Army will suffer even more damage, and Zang Ba has also seen the madness of Cao Jun. Once the drum beats, he will attack the city wall like crazy, and his robe will continue to fall. , And it did not hinder them.

Cao Cao faced this kind of battle, but he did not have the slightest worries. He was determined to win. The loss of ordinary soldiers on the battlefield could not be more normal. Only war and sacrifice can make soldiers in the army grow rapidly and die in battle. Outside Picheng, 80% were soldiers who had recently joined the army.

Cao Cao didn't care about the life and death of ordinary soldiers without being merciful. What he needed was a good soldier. At this time, Xiapi City was his place to train.

Cao Jun ignored the casualties and attacked. It lasted for half a month. Zang Ba could clearly feel that the Cao Jun outside the city had not been demoralized because of the damage, but had become more and more courageous in the war.

The defenders in the city were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. After the attack began, Cao Jun gathered all the Perak cars outside the city to the north of the city. After filling the moat, he also launched an offensive from the city.

This situation made the defenders a little stretched. The eight thousand defenders removed the number of damaged people, and now there are only more than one thousand people on each wall, and the remaining soldiers are used as mobile forces.

Zang Ba said worriedly with denomination: "The Cao army outside the city is so fierce. If it goes on like this, the city will be broken for Cao Jun in half a month at most."

Chen Gong nodded and said, "Among the Cao army, most of them are soldiers who have just been recruited. Cao Cao definitely used Xiapi as a place to train soldiers."

Zang Ba's eyes tightened, but there was a deeper fear of Cao Cao in his heart. Once these characters made up their minds to do something, they would not stop because of obstacles.

"Public platform, if you go down like this, you can only give up going down." Zang Ba sighed. According to the news from the city, the family's heart is floating. If the family is on Cao Cao's side, it will be fatal.

Chen Gongdao: "Why should the general be so discouraged. When the general was in Langxie, he had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, but he was able to achieve what it is today. Although there are a large number of Cao troops outside the city, if the general can lead the cavalry to successfully attack Cao Jun , Surely it can make the morale in the city soar, and it is natural to keep the Xia Pi, but before that, the general needs to meet with the family in the city, and the family has been unusually dynamic during this period."

Zang Ba said coldly: "If the family is not honest, this general won't mind letting them taste the power of this general."

Chen Gongdao: "The strength of the aristocratic family should not be underestimated. If these aristocratic families cannot be comforted, once they take refuge in the Cao army outside the city, it will be a huge disaster for Xiapi."

Zang overbearing: "Let the family patriarch in the city come to the army for a dinner tonight."

The family in the city did not dare to neglect after receiving Zang Ba's order. During this period, the Cao army attacked fiercely, and the defenders paid a lot of price. It really gave the family in the city more ideas. Compared with Zang Ba, outside the city Cao Cao is even more powerful. Although Cao Cao's treatment of Xuzhou soldiers and civilians was cruel, Cao Cao followed the advice of counselors before attacking the city and spread the news in the city. After breaking the city, he would not embarrass the family and the people. At the beginning, there was nothing, but when the defenders were at a disadvantage and showed no support, they were likely to betray the Zangba.

However, at this time, Zang Ba is still the actual controller of Xia Pi. If he offends Zang Ba, it is likely to lead to the complete decline of the family.

Zang Ba glanced at the family patriarch in the tent, and snorted coldly: "This general led the generals to resist the Cao army's attack, so that you will not suffer from the Cao army's slaughter. Some people have listened to the news that Cao Jun spread in the city. Who dares to betray this general at such a time, even if this general can't hold back Xiapi, he will let him disappear from the city."

After hearing Zang Ba's words, the Patriarchs in the tents felt stunned~www.mtlnovel.com~ They did not doubt the authenticity of Zang Ba's remarks. Zang Ba was a long-famous figure in Xuzhou, when he was in Langxie. , Is more similar to the thief.

"The general rest assured, the Zhang family will definitely stand on the general's side and help the general resist the Cao army. Now there are 500 private soldiers in the Zhang family, waiting for the general to dispatch." The Zhang family Patriarch immediately stood up and said.

Zang Ba nodded slightly and said, "Patriarch Zhang understands the righteousness. After repelling the Cao Jun, this general will definitely not treat Zhang Family. Although the number of Cao Jun is large, as long as we stay in the city, why not be worried about repelling Cao Jun."

With the statement of the Zhang Family Patriarch, the rest of the family also expressed their opinions.

Zang Ba also saw the power of the family. Just from the hands of these families, Zang Ba received two thousand private soldiers. The arrival of these two thousand private soldiers can relieve the pressure of the family to a great extent. Zang Ba understood that this was far from the real strength of the aristocratic family, and they must have many private soldiers hiding in the dark.

At the same time, Zang Ba is also fortunate that Chen Gong reminded him in time. Otherwise, once these aristocratic families unite and cooperate with the Cao army outside the city, even if the family chaos in the city can be quelled, the defenders will suffer heavy losses. Under these circumstances , If the defenders lose again, it is extremely disadvantageous.

Outside the city, the Cao Army's Central Army's big tent was also brightly lit. They attacked and defeated Pii in succession. The hearts of the Cao Army were floating. In this battle, their loss of troops outside the city has reached 5,000, which is not enough. Count the injured soldiers.

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Xun You and asked, "How is the contact with the family in the city?"

Xun You handed his hand: "Lord, now there are three families in the city who are willing to join our army. Although other families have had contact, they have not given a clear reply."
