The second day of the siege at Hangu Pass entered the city. On the first day, the Han army ended the siege at a heavy price of 4,000 casualties. Hangu Pass was unable to capture it, and it was still in the hands of Cao's army, but Cao's army also paid nearly a thousand casualties.

Although the Han army failed on the first day, Hangu Pass was not so solid. The Han army almost conquered the city several times, leaving Hangu Pass in danger. The next afternoon, the Han army launched a large-scale siege again. Zhao Yun successively invested tens of thousands of troops. According to the prior arrangement of King Liu Jing of Han, today is the last day to capture Hangu Pass.

Zhao Yun knew that the catapult was about to be delivered, but he didn't have time to wait for another day. He made up his mind that no matter the cost of casualties, he must take Hangu Pass today.

The Han army came like a tide. They held up their shields and ran towards the city regardless of everything, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows and the whistling rocks above their heads. Giant nest cars and ladders moved forward under the vigorous push of the Han soldiers.

"Boom!" A huge rock hit a nest cart, and the broken wood flew across the board. The nest cart collapsed with a loud bang. The soldiers below shouted and fled in all directions.

One after another, huge rocks roared from the air, either hitting the truck and bounced high, or hitting the crowd, rolling in the crowd, flesh and blood flying, and screams sounded.

The Cao army tried its best to defend, but could not stop the Han army's crazy attack. Ladders hit the city top, and more than a dozen huge nest cars gradually approached the city wall. Han soldiers climbed the ladders, but the rolling wood and stones on their heads smashed down like hail, constantly causing Han soldiers to roll down.

At this time, a nest car finally approached the city wall, and a wide baffle hit the city wall, dozens of Han soldiers rushed out of the nest car, and Cao soldiers fought forward, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Another nest car leaned on the top of the city. Seeing the critical situation, Xu Huang shouted: "Burn the nest car and the ladder with tinder oil!"

Gretel oil was his last weapon to press the formation. He would not use it until the critical moment. If he did not use it at this time, he would probably fall. Several Cao army soldiers brought out buckets of turbulent oil and smashed it hard at the nest cart and the cloud ladder. The wooden barrel burst and the turbulent oil splashed out. Dozens of Cao army soldiers threw down the torches, and the raging fire rose into the air. More than a dozen cloud ladders and the cloud ladders were immediately trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

Han soldiers retreated one after another, and many soldiers also ignited flames and fell down the city walls while crying...

Zhao Yun, who was watching the game from a distance, had his eyelids hopped violently. He could no longer help but turned around and asked, "Have the catapult installed?"

"Report to the general, you have already installed the cross!"

"Push up!"

The Han army's ten giant catapults were transported to the early morning of this morning, delaying the fighter plane for two days, causing heavy casualties in Han soldiers. Zhao Yun killed the teeth that transported the capturing plane on the spot for this.

The famous craftsmen who followed the army immediately began to act. They unloaded huge trench parts from the camel baggage team and began to assemble them on site.

The livestock power of transporting trench machines was the 5,000 camels bought by the Tao family from the Western Regions. They played a huge role in this eastern expedition. The camels were responsible for heavy loads and were good at traveling long distances, so that the Han army's logistics food and grass and various heavy baggage could follow the army, bringing great convenience to the Han army.

In less than half an hour, the skilled craftsmen first assembled ten huge trenchers. This huge rock that can throw pounds is powerful and can be fired out of four steps. One stone can destroy the city tower. Each trencher is as high as a meter and requires two strong men to pull his hair, just like ten giants standing in the camp. With Zhao Yun's order, the ten giant trenchers were pulled by the niu and rumbling out of the camp.

At this time, a continuous bell sounded in front of the camp, which was a signal of withdrawal. More than 10,000 Han troops siege retreated like a tide, but they did not withdraw back to the camp, but retreated a mile away and reorganized the team with the 20,000 Han troops preparing for war, waiting for the order to attack again.

On the top of the city a mile away, Xu Huang had already seen the huge catapult. His pupils gradually contracted and murderous intent burst out. He ordered one by one: "The catapult is ready to fight!"

Ten giant catapults had been transported in place, and a soldier ran towards Zhao Yun and reported loudly: "General Zhao, the catapult is ready!"

Zhao Yun turned his head and looked west. The sun was about to fall down the mountain. The sky was dyed with a layer of purple-red color, revealing the sad atmosphere of the end.

"Start the attack!"

Zhao Yun issued an order to attack. He looked at the city wall that was also dyed purple and said to himself: "The moment of breaking the city is coming!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’

The earth-shaking drum sounded, and each drum beat hit the hearts of Cao's soldiers on the city, making them feel trembling and chill. They held bows and arrows in their hands and were weak in power. They stared blankly at the multi-monster-like giants in the distance, and each of them was filled with uneasiness.

The drum sound stopped, and the world was silent. Suddenly, ten huge black shadows flew into the air, drawing dozens of arcs, flying through the air, making a harsh howling sound.

These are ten tincture oil pots. Their targets are not soldiers on the city wall, but two towering arrow towers on the city wall. Amid the screams, ten tincture oil filled with tincture oil hit the arrow tower one after another. The tincture oil flowed, and the city wall was filled with a pungent smell.

Xu Huang's heart suddenly sank. He knew the Han army's intentions, and he shouted anxiously: "Cater launches to destroy the enemy!"

Dozens of catapults on the top of the city also suddenly fired, throwing the huge rock far away, but the Cao army's catapult was not enough and was still steps away from the Han army's catapult, so it landed on the ground with no effect.

"Use a bed crossbow!" Xu Huang shouted anxiously.

The Cao army soldiers brought out a bed crossbow and installed a large foot-length arrow. The bed crossbow was fired, and the big arrows shot strongly at the ten giant catapults four steps away.

But the Han army was prepared for a long time, and a wooden shed was erected in front of each catapult, which prevented Cao's crossbow from shooting into the catapult, and hit the wooden shed with a crackling sound.

At this time, the Han army's catapult had launched four wheels and smashed forty turbulent pots onto the city wall. The Han army soldiers began to replace them with fire mud. This mud-like object mixed with clay and turbulent is the best weapon to cause fire, and it is more powerful to ignite the fire than the elastic turbulent ball.

Ten balls of tinder sludge burned with raging fire and flew towards the city four steps away. Almost all the soldiers of the Cao army screamed, and even Xu Huang sighed. He was powerless to stop the Han army's fire attack.

The sludge hit two arrow towers, and the fire spread rapidly. In a moment, the fire rose into the sky, thick smoke rolled, and the surging fire completely swallowed the two arrow towers.

The two arrow towers were engulfed by the fire, which brought a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders on the city. It was also the emergence of the Han army's giant catapult that led to a turning point in the Han army's siege.

At this time, ten giant bear-like Han army catapults appeared on the battlefield. They were replaced with huge rocks weighing pounds, and ten huge rocks covered the sky and smashed towards the top of Hangu Pass.

"ah!"

A desperate shout came from the top of the city, "Boom! Boom!" There were continuous loud noises, and dust flew on the top of the city, and smoke blew. Although the walls of Hangu Pass were made of bluestone and large bricks, the city walls were tall and strong, under the strong impact of the heavy rocks, a large area of ​​collapse still occurred.

With a loud bang, a huge rock hit the battlement not far from Xu Huang. The battlement was smashed to pieces, and the gravel flew around. The remaining force of the huge rocks was swept across. More than a dozen soldiers were smashed into meat sauce on the spot, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The soldiers on the top of the city cried and shouted.

Many people were killed and injured in the first round of attacks. A catapult was hit by two huge rocks at the same time, and collapsed and disintegrated. More than a dozen soldiers were unable to run and were buried among the collapsed huge rocks and messy trees.

Immediately afterwards, the second round of giant rock attacks was launched again. A large stone of more than ten kilograms turned in the air, carrying the power to destroy the world and rushing straight to the city wall. Another huge and dull collision sound was heard. A section of the city wall finally could not withstand the continuous impact of the giant rocks, and a terrible crack had appeared and was shaking.

At this moment, another stone as big as a millstone flew in the air, hitting the crack, and the city wall collapsed, like torn skin, which was pulled off more than twenty feet at once. The mud and sand filled with the interlayer of the city wall poured down, forming a slope of the upper city.

Xu Huang's eyes were red in anger and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and build a wall with sandbags! Quick!"

Thousands of Cao's soldiers ran towards the gap with sandbags on their backs, throwing the sandbags into the gap at all costs, trying to rebuild a city wall. In the distance, the Han army still remained unmoved, and their formation was neat and murderous.

Zhao Yun looked at the busyness in the city coldly, and he was already sure of victory. As long as he won the Hangu Pass, the final bear hunting battle in the Central Plains will begin.

"One, two, let it go!"

Two Han military strongmen exerted force at the same time, throwing their long arms, making a "Woo!" sound of wind, and a huge ball of fire mud rose into the air, followed by two groups, four groups... a total of ten groups of burning fire mud roared towards the city gate.

The continuous impact caused the city gate to shake violently, but the huge fireballs were not bounced away. They were stuck on the gate like mud, and turbulent oil flowed all over the city gate. The entire city gate began to burn wildly, with red flames flying, the fire was surging, and thick smoke filled the inside and outside the city gate.

The night has come, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and the dark clouds of war cover the sky above Hangu Pass City, and the moment of breaking the city is coming little by little.

The terrified screams and cries sounded from the city wall, and the gate was burning, and the bright fire stinged everyone's eyes.

The city gate is made of wooden and covered with iron sheets. The fire has burned through several large holes. Each large hole is spitting out terrible flames, making the firefighting in the city seem so powerless. The fireballs that are constantly throwing make the fire more violent.

Half an hour later, the gate was finally burned into a charcoal rack, and even the iron sheet melted. At this time, a huge rock flew across, and with a loud "bang!", the huge rock smashed the last charcoal rack to pieces, and the city gate was completely opened.

The moment of breaking the city finally came. Xu Huang knew that Hangu Pass could not be defended and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"

The harsh retreat bell rang, and Xu Huang turned over and ran towards the back city under the escort of the famous cavalry. The Cao army soldiers on the top of the city were in chaos, and they ran down to the city and fled for the death.

Zhao Yun slowly drew out his sword, pointed at Hangu Pass City, and shouted loudly: "Go into the city!" The Wan Han army burst into shouts of soaring into the sky. They waved the sword spear, covering the sky, as if a rushing tsunami swept towards Hangu Pass.
