After dark, the torches on the Guandu city wall were lit, illuminating the entire city wall as if it were during the day, and every corner was transparent and clear; while Wei Yan and Beikeham led 10,000 foreign legions to hide in the inner city of the city wall, and were pitch black all around.

There were no soldiers on the city wall, and only a few sentries in the three arrow towers were observing the dynamics of the Cao army. As long as the Cao army was found to attack, the sentry would issue a siren as soon as possible. Once the Cao army attacked the city wall, the troops led by Wei Yan and Beikeham mainly used crossbow arrows in their hands to shoot the Cao army, and defended the two stairways leading to the inner city. The Cao army must not be allowed to kill to the inner city.

Just after the first update, the sentry in the arrow tower blew the whistle around its neck, and the screams of the whistle broke the quiet night; with the sound of the whistle, the sound of chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping, and chirping, as the whistle sounded in the air.

Two thousand arrows cut through the night, and the formation felt even more fierce and terrifying than during the day. Countless arrows fell in the dark sky, some hitting the stone slabs on Chengfeng Street, some hitting the shields above the soldiers' heads and making huge metal sounds. There were also very few arrows that showed strange curves when they fell, and they directly stabbed the foreign legion's body. Fortunately, they were not the key part, otherwise they would be in trouble.

After all, the arrows fired by Cao Jun with his foot-punching bow are too accurate. Most of them are stuck on the city walls, and some of them are separated from the correct direction and do not know what area to fly to. In any case, the arrows shot from the foot-punching bow are really powerful. If the foreign legion soldiers held an ordinary shield, they would probably have penetrated through them. Although the shield hit by the dividend arrows did not penetrate, they would have smashed into potholes. Their strength was really terrifying.

After a few rounds of arrows, Cao's army stopped shooting the bow. After all, such a hard bow was too physically exhausted, and even if he used his feet to kick it, it was very troublesome. After several consecutive pedals, Cao's soldiers could not push the hard bow any more; but even a few rounds were enough. Cao's infantry had already advanced under the city wall and laid dozens of ladders. As soon as the arrows stopped, Cao's soldiers siege the city would immediately climb up.

The sentries in the arrow tower on the city wall sounded the sirens again, which meant that Cao's army began to attack the city wall and prepared the soldiers to fight back.

Wei Yan shouted: "Array!"

Ten thousand foreign legion soldiers immediately rushed out and arranged into two square formations with Wei Yan's shouts. Wei Yan and Beikeham each led a square formation, preparing to give the most severe shots to the Cao army soldiers climbing up the city wall. Each formation must also be responsible for a staircase entrance leading from the city wall to the inner city, and the Cao army soldiers will never be allowed to rush down the stairs.

On the city wall, Cao's soldiers climbed up. Wei Yan and Beikeham each shouted: "Prepare!"

"First echelon, let it go!"

At this time, there were not many Cao Jun soldiers climbing up the city wall. Of course, there was no need for all soldiers to pull the crossbow machine in their hands. One thousand soldiers from each of the two square formations pulled the crossbow machine to shoot. After all, this is a continuous crossbow, which can continuously ignite ten crossbow arrows. Such a density can definitely cover all corners of the city wall.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The sound of the continuous crossbow was clear and accompanied by the fall of Cao's soldiers climbing up the city wall. Some Cao's soldiers had not even jumped on the city wall, but were on the cloud ladder. As soon as they exposed their heads, they were hit by the crossbow arrow. The impact of the crossbow arrow directly lifted the Cao's soldiers down the cloud ladder and fell under the city wall. If the crossbow arrow was not fatal, if they were lucky when they fell off the cloud ladder, they would hit the body of the comrade who was about to climb the cloud ladder under the city wall, which would be able to save their lives. If they fell directly to the ground, whether they could survive depends on the will of heaven.

The city wall was illuminated by countless torches, and Cao's soldiers would be exposed immediately as soon as they climbed up the city wall; and Cao's soldiers could not see the Lu Ning's soldiers in the city at once. After all, the city was pitch black, and no matter how good the eyesight was, it would require an adaptation process; and this short adaptation time could allow the crossbows in the hands of foreign legion soldiers to fire out several crossbow arrows, which was fatal to Cao's soldiers siege the city.

There is no better way for Cao's soldiers. You can't climb in the dark in the darkness of the city wall! The most effective method is to carry shields in the hands of climbing soldiers to protect them, but Cao's soldiers have shields and weapons when climbing the ladder. How can they climb the ladder?

Many Cao army soldiers who climbed the ladder did not have shields in their hands. This created conditions for Wei Yan and Beikeham's soldiers to shoot with crossbows, which could allow the hit rate to rise sharply. Therefore, in the night, the Cao army paid a higher price than during the day and a greater casualty rate.

When Hao Zhao was guarding the city, he had to deal with the day and night attacks of Cao's army, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command had to be divided into three shifts. Their troops were slightly insufficient, but they could also defend the city well. Now Wei Yan and Beikeham invested 10,000 soldiers at one time, which was enough for the defender. The density of the arrows was so large that it was terrifying that the Cao army soldiers had a very small chance of avoiding the arrows.

After a bet of incense, fewer and fewer Cao's soldiers climbed up the city wall, and their morale was severely suppressed. This was the best time to fight back. Wei Yan shouted loudly: "Run!"

Wei Yan held a shield in his left hand and a big knife in his right hand, leading his soldiers to kill the city wall; Beikeham was not willing to fall behind, and immediately led his soldiers to kill the city wall; Wei Yan and Beikeham had strong melee ability, and even the foreign soldiers behind him had extremely strong hands-on fighting ability; facing the low-morning Cao soldiers, it was really called cutting melons and vegetables. After only a few minor injuries, the Cao soldiers who attacked the first wave of attacks were driven off the city wall.

Wei Yan, Beikeham and his foreign soldiers repelled Cao's attack. They were very excited and shouted loudly!

Wei Yan knew in his heart that this was just the first wave of Cao's army's attack tonight, and there would be multiple waves of attacks next. It was too early to cheer at this time. The soldiers must be asked to go down the city wall as soon as possible, return to rest, and wait for the next wave of attack by Cao's army.

Seeing that Cao Cao's attack was not strong, his face turned gloomy. Although he attacked the city wall, he was wiped out by the other party on the city wall, which made Cao Cao very angry.

In this wave of attack by Cao's army, three deputy generals, Qin Qi, Hu Ban and Wang Zhi, took the lead in siege, and Qin Qi was the only one who could escape in the end. Both of them died on the city wall and would never come back.

After Qin Qi, who had a few arrows inserted into her body, saw Cao Cao's face gloomy, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Lord, I am incompetent and unable to lead the soldiers to expand the results of the battle. Please punish me!"

Cao Cao said: "What the hell is going on?"

Qin Qi said carefully: "Lord, the crossbow arrows of Lu Ning's army under the city wall are too dense. As soon as we climb the city wall, we will be shot wildly by arrows. We cannot break through the dense arrows at all. When many soldiers fall, their bodies will be shot into hornet's nests."
