    The first attack failed, but Lu Bu didn't show any signs of frustration. He smiled and said to the generals: "I didn't expect that Cao Ang is quite capable. There are at least 500 archers in the army, and the camp is very solidly built."  , it might waste an hour of our time."

    Wei Xu added jokingly: "What my lord said is true. Anyway, the Kwantung bandits outside Hulao Pass don't know the news of our retreat. Even if it takes an hour, it won't cause any serious harm."

    Gao Shun frowned slightly and whispered: "Lord, there are only thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Hulao Gate. They may surrender at any time. We must hurry up."

    Lu Bu frowned lightly, "I know! Gao Shun, can't you say something that makes people happy? You always fail! You go and prepare, and you will go to fight for me later!"

    Gao Shun immediately took the order and directed the soldiers to take off their armor and prepare to put on it.

    Zhang Liao quickly smiled and smoothed things over, "My lord is still magnanimous. If Gao Shun had spoken to me so harshly, I would have slapped him long ago! This Gao Shun, when will he change his temper?"

    Wei Xu also smiled and said: "He is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard! Only our lord can tolerate him!"

    Zhang Liao was Lu Bu's favorite general, and Wei Xu was also a relative of Lu Bu. With their help, Lu Bu's gloomy expression finally relaxed.

    Lu Bu sighed softly and said loudly: "Send the order, Hao Meng, Wei Xu, and Cheng Lian each send out 500 soldiers, fill the bags with earth, and throw them under the opponent's wall. The remaining troops of the three will serve as the main follow-up attack. Gao Shun ordered  The main force is to attack the opponent's camp gate, and Zhang Liao's department serves as a reserve for him. Song Xian's department is responsible for supervising the battle team, and Hou Cheng's department sets up a scout net to guard the surrounding areas. All troops have a quarter of an hour to prepare, and they will launch the attack immediately after a quarter of an hour!"

    After hearing Lu Bu's order, all the generals stood up and said yes, and quickly left to prepare.  Lu Bu gently shook the sky-painted halberd below and looked at the camp opposite with a smile. He wondered if there were generals there who were worthy of his action. The master was so lonely!

    At this moment, Cao Ang was also nervously assigning tasks.  He heard him say in a deep voice: "It was just a demonstration attack, and the opponent is likely to launch a main attack next! Mancheng, how much food do your archers still have? Can they hold on?"

    Li Dian immediately replied: "Lord, don't worry, everyone just shot five or six arrows, and now everyone has an average of twenty arrows in their quiver. It should be no problem to cope with a battle, not to mention there are still some in the supply camp."  The inventory is there.¡±

    Cao Ang immediately ordered: "Send someone immediately to get the bows and arrows, and distribute them to everyone while there is still time. When a war starts, there is no time to allocate them."

    Li Dian immediately accepted the order and went to make arrangements immediately.

    Cao Ang said to Liao Hua again: "Yuan Jian, I will give you 1,500 troops and horses to guard the stronghold wall. Try to keep the enemy outside the stronghold wall, and use bows, arrows and spears to assassinate the opponent and reduce casualties."

    Liao Hua quickly accepted the order and immediately went to prepare and repair the previous damage on the wall of the stronghold.

    Cao Ang said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian, the main force of Bingzhou's troops on the opposite side is the cavalry. Only when they successfully break into our camp can the power of their cavalry be fully exerted. And if we want the cavalry to rush into us in an organized manner,  The enemy has to break through my camp gate! Wen Qian, I will give you five hundred elite soldiers to guard the camp gate for me, do you have the confidence?"

    Le Jin said in a deep voice: "Lord, don't worry, as long as I, Le Jin, am still breathing, the camp gate will be under the control of our army!"

    Shi Huan said in a deep voice: "Lord, every general has a mission, so what am I, Shi Huan, responsible for?"

    Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "Gong Liu, I will give you three hundred elite troops. You will be responsible for coordinating the entire battalion. As the reserve team of the entire army, we will be ready to plug the gap at any time!"

    When Shi Huan heard that it was this mission, he was very happy. He said loudly: "My lord, don't worry. With me, Shi Huan, I will not allow the enemy to be arrogant!"

    The generals took orders to leave, but Cao Ang raised his hands to Fang Yue in the corner and said, "General Fang Yue, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with!"

    When Fang Yue heard what Cao Ang said, she pointed at herself in surprise: "Master, I, Fang Yue, thank you for not giving up, nursed me back to health, and also taught me the secret method of Wu Qin Xi. It's just that my martial arts have greatly reduced now, and I am already a semi-invalid person. Tonight  In the war, can I, a semi-wasted person, be of any use?"

    Having said this, Fang Yue was a little excited.  He used to be very loyal to Wang Kuang, but after he was seriously injured, Wang Kuang ignored him. If Cao Ang hadn't spared no expense in treating him and recuperating him, Fang Yue would never have had a chance to stand up, so Fang Yue was willing to worship Cao Ang.  host.  It's just that his martial arts skills are greatly reduced now. Just now he could only watch with envy from the side, but he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to fight.

    Then I heard Cao Ang lower his voice and say to Fang Yue: "Xueliang, you also"You know, there are no well-known generals in our army.  But there is a fierce general like Lu Bu on the opposite side. Once he goes into battle in person, no one on our side can challenge him in a duel.  I still have 200 dead soldiers in my hands, and I will leave them all to you. If Lu Bu goes into battle, I hope you can lead them to entangle Lu Bu, buy time for us, and buy opportunities for the archers!  "

    Hearing this, Fang Yue was shocked and laughed and said: "If I can drag Lu Bu to die, it will be worth it for me, Fang Yue! Don't worry, my lord, unless Lu Bu steps on my body, he will never have a chance to show off his evil!"  "

    Soon, half an hour passed by in a flash.  Cao Ang stood on the watchtower and heard the attack horn blowing from Lu Bu's camp opposite.

    Thousands of torches illuminated this place brightly, and at the brightest place of the torches, Lu Bu gently raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji and waved it forward, and the soldiers immediately rushed forward with a roar.

    Cao Ang has distributed everyone and only has twenty guards on standby.  He listened to Li Dian shouting: "Steady, steady, wait until the enemy rushes into range before shooting!"

    I saw that the enemy troops were making loud noises and shouting desperately, but they still did not launch an attack.  Under Li Dian's strong restraint, the archers on Li Dian's side did not rush to shoot arrows, but calmed down and waited.

    Seeing that the archers in Cao¡¯s camp did not fire arrows randomly, Hao Meng and others could not help but frown, and at the same time ordered the soldiers responsible for filling the soil to charge forward.

    Hearing their orders, the soldiers took great strides and rushed towards the bottom of the village wall.  These soldiers responsible for filling the soil basically only wore light leather armor and carried a bag filled with soil on their backs.  As the distance shortened, the soldiers ran faster and faster.

    Li Dian watched them rush into the shooting range and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow, fast!"

    Cao Ying¡¯s archers immediately started shooting. At first, they kept firing volleys in an orderly manner. As the distance between the enemy troops tightened, the archers all started shooting directly.  Almost every bow and arrow shot can hit the opponent's soldiers.

    It's just that the opponent's soldiers hunched their backs and ran forward, reducing the area where arrows were hit. Moreover, the leather armor they wore and the earth bags they carried on their backs played a protective role. Even if they were hit by two or three arrows, they still continued to move forward.  rush.

    And the archers in Lu Bu's army on the opposite side also began to move forward steadily under the cover of the shield men, constantly launching counterattacks against Cao's camp to cover the charging soldiers.

    Some archers in Cao's camp were shot, and some archers were successfully attracted and couldn't wait to move their targets.  But in this way, the soldiers responsible for filling the soil in front rushed faster and faster, closer to the village wall!

    Li Dian had a layer of sweat on his face. He shouted loudly: "Leave them alone, follow the pre-war arrangements and separate the areas!"

    Li Dian shouted two or three times, and the archers who were hurriedly shooting arrows realized. Everyone followed the area designated before the war and launched intensive shooting at the area ahead.  Don't ask for accuracy, just density.

    Fortunately, we were now close to the stronghold wall, and the enemy soldiers on the opposite side were charging relatively densely. Li Dian's response hit the opponent's weak point, and more and more enemy soldiers fell to the ground.  However, more and more soldiers also ran to the wall of the village, swung the earth bags on their backs, and then ran to the rear.

    More and more bags of earth were piled up under the wall, and the corpses of many soldiers were piled there. Seeing a slope of earth forming on the edge of the wall, Hao Meng shouted: "Brothers, rush in."  Ah! The first one to break into the enemy camp will receive a reward of ten taels!"

    Hearing his shout, the soldiers charged with more vigor.

    Seeing this, Li Dian shouted: "Fire at full speed! Fire at full speed!"

    Hearing his cry, the archers immediately increased the frequency of shooting. However, as time went by, their arms became more and more weak.  If Cao Ang hadn't prepared finger pullers for everyone in advance, many people's fingers would have been cut by the bow strings. Even so, some people's fingers were cut bloody by the bow strings and they couldn't shoot again.

    Watching the enemy soldiers rushing up the slope, Liao Hua swung his axe, cut the enemy soldiers on the opposite side in two with one blow, and shouted: "Long live the great man!"

    The soldiers on the wall all shouted in unison: "Long live the great man!"

    The Bingzhou Army soldiers who rushed over couldn't bear to show their weakness. Even though they had the numerical advantage, they also shouted "Long live the great man!" and rushed over.

    The soldiers of both armies felt that they represented the righteous side. They all fought desperately for their lord, and they all had the courage to fight until the last moment. Therefore, the battle was extremely stalemate, and the winner could not be determined for a long time.

    Shi Huan and his troops stared nervously at the wall, but Liao Hua was very strong. Even when facing the three-army attack from Hao Meng, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

    Cao Ang nervously grasped the railing of the watchtower, feeling distressed.One by one, the soldiers fell to the ground, their faces turning livid.  But he did not give orders rashly because he felt that Liao Hua, the front-line commander, understood the situation better.

    And Lu Bu watched his soldiers falling to the ground from a distance, and his heart was bleeding.  Each of the Bingzhou troops in his hands is dead, and it will be difficult to effectively replenish them in the short term.  He roared angrily: "Where's Gao Shun, why don't you attack?!"
