The design of the earth-filling truck is somewhat similar to a dump truck. Using the design of the truck, all the earth bags on the truck can be dumped into the moat without using manpower to unload.

Although each earth-filling truck does not transport many earth bags, it is difficult to hurt the soldiers behind the earth-moving trucks except by burning them.

At this time, the appearance of the earth-filling machine had already posed a threat to Cao Jun on the tower.

In order to defend the moat, Cao Ren must burn the earthfill machine.

So, after nightfall, Cao Ren ordered Cao Zhen to go out through the two southeast gates, each carrying a can of fire oil.

However, the earth-filling truck is not only a siege weapon, but also a decoy.

There are only some cavalry brought by Guan Yu in the city.

When Cao Zhen left the city, he temporarily borrowed 500 horses from the wealthy families in the city.

The wealthy families in the city also understand that if the city is destroyed, they will all be doomed.

Five hundred horses are not war horses.

The difference between ordinary horses and war horses is still very big.

War horses are not easily frightened, and they have a better understanding of each other when they get along with the knight day and night.

The five hundred horses and the elite selected by Cao Zhen were not familiar with each other, and they had not experienced battle formations.

At this time, not long after leaving the city, they were intercepted and killed by Zhou Cheng's cavalry.

There were only a thousand cavalrymen intercepted and killed.

"Ignore them, burn the car first!"

Every knight who leaves the city is a selected dead warrior.

Cao Zhen is responsible for leading this group of dead warriors. This time, the dead warriors are alive or dead.

However, the momentum of the dead warriors is very strong, and their riding skills are somewhat lacking. Poor.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng not only had cavalry, but also five-meter-long spears, and a large number of crossbowmen.

When random arrows were shot, many people fell to the ground.

Then, the spears stabbed at them, and the horses were frightened. , raised the premise and threw the dead soldiers on horseback to the ground.

Five hundred people, each carrying two fire oil cans.

However, the fire was not lit, and almost the entire army was annihilated, including men and horses.

"Thief Cao shall die!"

Dian Wei shook his iron cavalry and chased Cao Zhen.

If Cao Zhen hadn't escaped quickly, Cao Zhen might not have been able to return to the city.

……

Late at night.

The Zhou army did not attack the city tonight.

However, the atmosphere in the city was even more depressing.

The weather was already cold, but the soldiers pressed against the city wall, huddled together, making fire to keep warm.

Guan Yu and Chen Dao were patrolling the city wall.

At this time, Chen Dao said:"General, if the siege equipment of the Zhou thieves cannot be stopped, or if there are no reinforcements from the Yuan army, Chenliu City may not be able to hold on."

Guan Yu looked at the Zhou army camp in the distance with a sullen face, and murmured:"Zhou The thieves are so powerful that it is difficult to win in a field battle, and now the advantage of defending the city is lost."

A powerful defender can resist ten times more enemies as long as the top and bottom work together.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Liao was more famous for guarding Hefei.

Zhang Liao used 7,000 troops to defend Hefei in the face of Sun Quan's 100,000 troops. Sun Quan had 100,000 troops and besieged Hefei for more than ten days. However, due to low morale, he was still unable to break through Hefei, which had only 7,000 defenders, so he had to retreat..

When Sun Quan was defeated, Zhang Liao, who was very good at seizing opportunities, suddenly led his army to pursue him and dispersed Wu's rear group. Ling Tong's entire army was wiped out, and Sun Quan was able to escape by leaping on his horse at Xiaoyaojin.

In history, the most famous one is Zhang Xun guarding Suiyang. Zhang Xun guarded Suiyang for three years, three full years!

During the Anshi Rebellion, thousands of people including Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan defended Suiyang with no food and reinforcements inside and outside. They fought more than 400 times, causing heavy losses to the rebels and ensuring the security of the southeast of the Tang Dynasty.

They defended the isolated city without food and help, and people in the city were cannibalistic, but they still refused to surrender.

Chen Dao said:"Cao Zixiao is determined to fight to the death and not surrender."

Guan Yu also believed that Cao Ren would defend.

In history, Cao Ren led thousands of soldiers to defend Fancheng, and the water almost flooded the entire city. Guan Yu took a boat to attack the city and surrounded it for several levels. There was no communication between the city and the outside world, and there was not much food left, but reinforcements had not yet arrived.

Cao Ren was besieged by Guan Yu in Fancheng, and Lu Chang was besieged by Guan Yu in Xiangyang. The situation was precarious.

Man Chong drowned his white horse and swore an oath with the soldiers.

Cao Ren also declared to everyone that he would die. The soldiers were moved by their spirit and devoted themselves to defending the city.

Soon, when Xu Huang arrived with reinforcements, the flood gradually receded. Xu Huang attacked Guan Yu from the outside. Cao Ren was able to break through and finally repulsed Guan Yu.

Under Guan Yu's siege, neither Fancheng, which Cao Ren defended personally, nor Xiangyang, which Lu Chang defended, were defeated by Guan Yu.

However, Guan Yu would not stay in Chenliu and accompany Cao Ren to defend to the end.

He is not Cao Cao's subordinate and has no obligation to fight to the death.

Therefore, Guan Yu said to Chen Dao:"If you can't defend, you should speed up your army to withdraw.""

"Here."Chen Dao nodded.

Although he abandoned his allies, there was nothing he could do.

Yuan Shu sent Qiao Rui to rescue him, but Qiao Rui hid far away and refused to save him.

And Zhou Cheng's main force was almost all concentrated on Chen Dao. Yuan Shu did not send anyone to attack the Zhou army's camp or harass the Zhou army's supply lines.

The alliance was in name only!
