But Xun Yu looked at Dian Wei who was aside.
But they only saw Dian Wei looking relaxed, as if he was not worried at all about the city gate being breached by Black Mountain bandits.
Does he have another plan?
Xun Yu suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked down at the city again.
The soldiers of the Black Bandits braved the rain of arrows from the defenders on the city wall. After paying a heavy price, they finally pushed the chariot equipped with the battering ram into the city gate hole.
"One, two, three, hit!"
They shouted in unison, manipulated the battering ram, and slammed against the city gate.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Once, twice, three times!
Along with the heavy impact, Xun Yu could even feel the city wall shaking under his feet!
His expression changed and he said quickly,
"General Dian, if they collide like this, the city gate may not be able to hold it!"
"It's okay! Just let them hit me. If they can break in, I'll lose!"
Dian Wei is full of confidence.
After all, he had made complete preparations in advance according to what his elder brother Yang Ling said.
Xun Yu sighed helplessly.
This is a battlefield where life and death are at stake. Once the Black Mountain Bandits attack, no one in the city will survive!
Xun Yu really didn't know where Dian Wei got his confidence!
He was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Dian Wei, so he called a group of soldiers and hurried towards the city wall.
Before Xun Yu walked down the city wall, he heard someone shouting,
"The city gate... is about to be broken down!"
His heart sank and he looked into the city gate tower.
"Boom!"
After a dull crash, the city gate, which had been in disrepair for a long time, screamed and then collapsed!
"hiss!"
Seeing the Black Mountain bandit standing not far away with an excited expression, Xun Yu couldn't help but take a breath!
But what he didn't expect was that Dian Wei's soldiers had no intention of going up to meet the enemy and blocking the Black Mountain bandits outside the city.
Instead, each of them stood there, refusing to approach the city gate.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and stop them!"
Xun Yu suddenly became anxious.
The strength of the Black Mountain bandits is several times that of our own. If they are allowed to rush in, the county will definitely not be able to defend it.
But all the soldiers just turned their heads and glanced at Xun Yu, still standing where they were.
At this time, the Black Mountain bandits outside the city had already swarmed in, rushing into the city.
Looking at the dark enemy, Xun Yu's heart was filled with despair.
Ruined!
The city cannot be defended!
However, the next second, something unexpected happened to him!
I saw the Black Mountain bandits rushing at the front, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly became empty.
A huge pit suddenly appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
At the bottom of the pit, there are countless sharp spikes!
The Black Mountain thieves who were caught off guard fell into the pit one after another and screamed!
Although the accomplices behind him reacted, they moved back desperately, trying to avoid falling.
But the Black Mountain bandits and soldiers outside the city did not know the situation inside the city, and they still swarmed towards the city.
As a result, countless Black Mountain bandits fell into the pit!
It wasn't until they paid a heavy price that the Black Mountain thieves realized something was wrong, and stopped moving forward one after another!
Xun Yu stared blankly at the deep pit in front of him, unable to react for a while.
"Xunjun Cheng, how about the trap I set?"
Dian Wei walked down from the city wall and looked at Xun Yu with a proud look on his face.
"This...this trap was designed by you?"
Xun Yu's eyes widened.
"good!"
Dian Wei's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he took the credit from Yang Ling.
After all, this was what Yang Ling had told him not to tell outsiders.
The trap Dian Wei ordered his men to dig happened to block the city gate. If the Black Mountain bandits wanted to rush into the city, they had to pass through the trap!
The big pit is three feet wide and five feet deep.
Even if there were no spikes at the bottom, if the soldiers fell down, they would be dead or disabled!
Xun Yu sighed in his heart, this Dian Wei is too cunning... Oh no, forget it!
No wonder he was so confident that he could prevent the Black Mountain thieves from attacking.
With such a deep pit here, how could the Black Mountain bandits break in without paying a heavy price?
Xun Yu couldn't help but take a deep look at Dian Wei and praised sincerely,
"General Dian is really strategizing!"
When Dian Wei heard Xun Yu, a counselor respected by Cao Cao, praising him so much, Dian Wei suddenly smiled.
"Your Majesty Xunjun is overly praised. These are just trivial tricks! If the Black Mountain bandits still dare to attack, I have a back-up plan!"
"Oh? May I ask what General Dian's back-up plan is?"
"Well...hehe, Xun Juncheng will find out later."
Dian Wei was so excited that he spilled the beans and hurriedly put it off.
Xun Yu frowned slightly, looking at the trap in front of him with a thoughtful expression on his face.
A few days ago, Dian Wei borrowed 4,000 farmers from him. It should be more than just digging holes.
From what he said, it seemed that there were other arrangements waiting for the Black Mountain bandits.
But this is good, at least Puyang City can be defended!
Xun Yu's brows relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
But Yu Du and others outside the city are not in such a good mood!
"What? There is actually a deep pit in the city?!"
Yu Du's face was extremely livid!
Bai Rao, Sui Gu and other Black Mountain bandit leaders also looked very ugly.
They originally thought that after breaking through the city gate, they could easily take over the city and then plunder it!
But no one thought that the defenders in the city would actually set a trap!
"The people responsible for guarding Puyang County are definitely not ordinary people!"
Yu Du gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Golden juice defends the city, and there are deep pits and traps.
How could someone with such resourcefulness be an ordinary person?
"Didn't you say that all the generals under Cao Cao left with him?"
Bai Luo grabbed Huang Silang's collar and stared at him fiercely.
"That's indeed what the information says!"
Huang Silang also wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Then why is that?"
"I...I don't know either..."
Ren Yudu, Bai Rao and others tried hard, but they couldn't figure out that the person actually responsible for defending the city would be a small grain transport officer!
"Chief Bai, there is no need to embarrass Mr. Huang."
Yu Du rushed to Bai Rao and shook his head.
The most important thing right now is to capture Puyang City quickly.
Bai Rao naturally understands this truth.
He loosened Huang Silang's collar and snorted coldly,
"Consider you lucky!"
"Then what should we do next?"
Sui Gu couldn't help but ask.
"How about we change the city gate and continue the attack?"
Bai Rao tentatively put forward his opinion.
"Stupid! We paid a heavy price to attack one city gate. If we continue to attack another city gate, we will inevitably have to pay an even greater price!"
"And how do you know there are no deep pits or traps behind the other three city gates?"
Yu Du cursed.
Bai Rao was speechless now.
yes.
It is impossible for Cao's army in the city to just dig a trap behind one city gate.
