Chapter 477: You Talk Too Much
"Ahh
"Ah, help!"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
The screams of one after another kept ringing, and without the advantage of the city wall, the 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers brought by Ding Chan fell one after another like cutting wheat under the attack of the Cao army led by Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, the two fierce generals. Too long of comfort has made the combat effectiveness of these Xuzhou soldiers drop, not to mention, even the blood is no longer there. After a quarter of an hour of fighting, more than 5,000 casualties suddenly stunned these Xuzhou soldiers. The cries for help and begging for mercy also rang out one after another. As a result, 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers, in the face of the same strength, less than 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers began to flee, and the rest were either killed or wounded, or surrendered on the spot.
"General Qiqi, the enemy's soldiers and horses have been cleared, please give instructions to the general!"
When the nearly 6,000 Xuzhou soldiers who surrendered were cleared, a lieutenant came to Xiahoudun and Cao Hong to report. More than 6,000 Xuzhou soldiers did not resist at all, obediently threw down their weapons and shields, and waited quietly for Xiahoudun's sentence like a prisoner on trial.
"I think Cao Bao will soon know that the south gate has been lost, and now our army is in full swing, when we take this opportunity to cover up the past, and take the north gate in one fell swoop with the main kilometer, the overall situation can be determined. ”
Those Xuzhou soldiers who fled will naturally report the situation here to Cao Bao, and Xiahoudun is not very interested in the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou soldiers. The long-term comfort has made them unworthy of being qualified soldiers anymore. Even so, though. In order to ensure the victory of the battle, at this moment, we should also take advantage of the fact that Cao Bao has not yet been deployed, and directly wave the army to kill him. As long as the north gate is captured and the north gate is opened, the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, even if Cao Bao has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Xiahoudun will not have any fear.
"Someone, give the order. Leave 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the surrendered army, but if there are those who resist, they will be killed! The rest of the soldiers will follow the general to the north gate!"
"No!"
More than 6,000 Xuzhou soldiers without weapons and armor. In the face of a thousand wolf-like Cao Cao soldiers, there was no resistance at all. Unless there is a commander among the six thousand, or a fierce general hiding in them. However, it is obviously impossible. If there really is such a person. When Ding Chan was shot by Xiahoudun before. If you think about it, you will stand up and command the battle.
"Kill!"
Xiahoudun shouted violently, waved his big hand, and more than 10,000 Cao Cao soldiers rushed to the north gate of Pei County with murderous energy.
Above the north gate of Pei County
Cao Bao looked at the Cao Cao soldiers who kept attacking under the city, his brows furrowed, and he felt a burst of uneasiness in his heart. Hearing Cao Cao's soldiers and horses appear at the south gate before, Cao Bao was really startled. The south gate had only 5,000 troops, and there were no defensive equipment. If Cao Cao's soldiers attacked it, the probability that the south gate could be held was too low. Therefore. He also regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have pinned too much on the defense of the Ershi Mountain checkpoint in the first place, so that only 5,000 troops were arranged at the south gate, and all the city defense equipment was transferred to the north gate to defend against Cao Cao's attack. Cao Cao's soldiers' combat effectiveness Cao Bao can be regarded as having seen it with his own eyes, except for the 20,000 Danyang elite soldiers that Tao Qian temporarily handed over to him, the rest of the Xuzhou soldiers are not vulnerable at all. In the case of a short handover, Cao Bao absolutely believed that Cao Cao's soldiers could be ten or even more. Of course, regret is regret, Cao Bao will not show it in front of his generals, even if it is his fault, he can't admit it, so as not to lose his majesty as the main general. What Cao Bao can do now is to hope that the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Ding Chan can arrive at the south gate in time, as long as the south gate is not lost, everything is still possible to recover.
"Report!"
Cao Bao, who was pondering, suddenly heard an urgent shout in his ears, Cao Bao glanced at it dissatisfiedly, only to see a bloodstained Xuzhou soldier hurriedly running in his direction, his face full of panic.
Seeing this situation, Cao Bao's heart became more and more uneasy. However, as the main general, he couldn't show his panic, so he pretended to be calm and asked in a deep voice: "What happened, why are you so flustered, and why have you become like this?"
"General Qiyu, the south gate has been lost. When General Ding Chan led his troops to support, he was ambushed by the enemy, and General Ding Chan was unfortunately killed in battle. Now that the enemy's soldiers and horses are already attacking the north gate, they will arrive in a few moments, so please be prepared as soon as possible. ”
"What? The South Gate has been lost? What the hell is Song Luo eating, 5,000 soldiers and horses and the advantage of the city wall, he can't even defend it, so what is the use of being such an incompetent general! You say that Song Luo died in battle? Even if he died in battle, it cannot cover up the mistakes he committed. Hmph!"
Although Cao Bao had already expected something in his heart, he couldn't help but scold angrily when he heard the soldier's report.
Of course, the biggest responsibility for the loss of the South Gate still lies with Cao Bao, but Cao Bao will not admit his mistakes, so naturally this responsibility can only be attributed to Song Luo, the guard. It's a pity that Song Luo died in battle, and no matter how much Cao Bao wants to shirk the responsibility, he can't find a scapegoat. Moreover, the generals around Cao Bao also understand who the responsibility is. At this moment, seeing Cao Bao so shamelessly put the responsibility on a general who died in battle, the surrounding generals felt a chill in their hearts, and it was also a shame that Cao Bao did not say the words to ask Song Luo's relatives for the crime. Otherwise, if they treat others with themselves, the surrounding generals are afraid that what happens to Song Luo will become their encounter in the future, and they are afraid that they will immediately take Cao Bao and surrender to Cao Cao, which can be regarded as Cao Bao is still a little sensible.
"Deputy General Qin, immediately order 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison under the city, and must not let the enemy attack under the city gate. Otherwise, Pei County will be in danger!"
Cao Bao stopped scolding angrily and ordered to one of the generals beside him.
"The last general will obey the order!"
"Kill!"
"Take the North Gate!"
"Capture Cao Bao alive, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the bounty will be a thousand taels!"
However, as soon as Cao Bao's order was issued, an earth-shattering shout of killing rang out. Cao Bao and the others turned around to look, only to see Xiahoudun and Cao Hong taking the lead, rushing towards the city gate, and the Xuzhou soldiers who wanted to stop nearby were not the enemy at all. In the face of this group of Cao Cao soldiers with high morale and strong combat power, the Xuzhou soldiers were as weak as sheep. A flock of sheep. And how to block the attack of the wolf?
"Vice General Qin, Vice General Zhang, the two of you quickly speed up your troops to block the enemy's attack. Captain Tang, go and transfer the 30,000 soldiers and horses in reserve, and be sure to block the enemy's attack. If you can't stop the enemy's attack, you will come to see the general!"
"No!" "No!" "No!"
The three generals who were named shouted loudly and walked away. There are still 100,000 soldiers and horses here in the north of the city. Naturally, it is impossible for them all to be concentrated on the city wall, and there are not so many soldiers standing on the city wall. Therefore, the rest of the soldiers were either under the city gates. If there was a vacancy in the wall, it was filled, and other soldiers were encamped in several nearby open spaces as a backup.
And Cao Cao, who was outside the city, seemed to have heard the shouts of killing inside the city. knew that Xiahoudun and Cao Hong had already attacked the city. Therefore, Cao Cao outside the city also ordered to strengthen the siege of the city, which doubled the pressure on the Xuzhou soldiers on the city wall, and Cao Bao did not dare to send the soldiers and horses on the city head.
Vice General Qin and Vice General Zhang walked down from the city wall, directly transferred the 20,000 soldiers and horses ready to attack under the city, and went to stop the enemy army. As for Vice General Tang, he had to go to other camps to gather soldiers and horses, and if Xiahoudun and Cao Hong repelled the soldiers and horses of Vice General Qin and Deputy General Zhang within this time. Take the North Gate, then. It was useless for Adjutant General Tang to summon soldiers and horses. When the 30,000 Cao Cao soldiers and horses outside the city attacked, except for the Danyang elite soldiers who could resist for some time, the rest of the Xuzhou soldiers were of little use at all.
"Soldiers, the critical moment in Peixian has come, the enemy army is in front of us, can we let them act so recklessly?"
"Can't! Kill the enemy!"
"Very well, your determination has been seen by General Ben. Now, the enemy is in front of you, and the soldiers will go up with the general, and the enemy must not be allowed to take the city gate!"
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
Vice General Qin and Vice General Zhang led 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers to lay a defensive line under the north gate as if they were at home. As long as they block the time of a stick of incense, or even the time of a stick of incense, Vice General Tang can transfer soldiers and horses from several other camps to support. They have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and even if their combat effectiveness is inferior to Cao Cao's soldiers, can't 20,000 soldiers and horses even hold a stick of incense for a long time? This is obviously impossible in the eyes of Vice General Qin and Deputy General Zhang. No matter how weak Xuzhou's soldiers are, there is always a lower limit, and similarly, no matter how strong Cao Cao's soldiers are, there is always an upper limit, isn't it?
In fact, reality has proved that Vice General Qin and Vice General Zhang are thinking too much.
A group of sheep, even if led by the head sheep, should not expect to be able to confront a group of vicious wolves led by the wolf king. The sheep are Xuzhou soldiers, and the evil wolf is Cao Cao's soldiers led by Xiahoudun and Cao Hong.
"Sons, victory is at hand, and there is an enemy trying to stop us, can you agree?"
"Never say yes!"
"The enemy wants to stop us, what are we going to do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The momentum of the shouting and killing echoed endlessly in this piece of heaven and earth, and the soldiers of Xuzhou could only be frightened for a while, and they couldn't help but suspect in their hearts, in the face of such a formidable enemy, could they really stop it? Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Vice General Qin and Deputy General Zhang were both swaying in their hearts, and their hearts trembled, if it weren't for Cao Bao's order, they would have retreated long ago.
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong would not allow these Xuzhou soldiers to block their way, and they fought all the way. Conquered the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Ershi Mountain checkpoint, and won the south gate with the advantage of the city wall, now, the north gate is in front of them, just a gate away, they have broken through the more difficult and difficult difficulties than this, victory is just around the corner, how can they give up? Even if there is only one person left, they have to rush to the city gate and open the city gate!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The generals of both sides roared angrily, and the soldiers and horses of both sides roared angrily and rushed towards the enemy camp. In today's situation, there is only forward, there is no choice to retreat, retreat represents failure, failure will face death, no one can bear it.
Vice General Qin and Vice General Zhang brandished spears and slapped their horses to attack Xiahoudun and Cao Hong respectively.
Vice General Qin's spear danced impenetrably, and the water did not drop, and the power was amazing. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and no one will admit that they are worse than others. Vice General Qin is still quite confident in his martial arts, and when he saw Xiahou Dun rushing towards him, he shouted angrily: "Who is coming, a certain gun will not kill a nobody!"
"Don't be ashamed!"
Xiahoudun roared angrily, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight towards Vice General Qin, as a strength close to the top general, Xiahoudun was more confident and proud than Vice General Qin. At this moment, a guy who only has gorgeous moves but not much power dares to talk to himself like this, how can Xiahoudun not be angry?
"Ugh!"
It's just a face, Vice General Qin has no second way, when Xiahou Dun rushed over, Vice General Qin's chest already had a bloody hole, screamed, fell off the horse, the two eyes were still staring at the boss, it seemed a little unbelievable, he was so fragile?
Perhaps, Xiahoudun will give him a chic sentence "You talk too much!"
On the other side, Vice General Zhang also attacked Cao Hong with a spear, shouting the same words as Vice General Qin. Perhaps, most of the generals have such a common problem, just like the generals who were just playing soy sauce under the Tiger Prison at the beginning, everyone has a slogan.
Cao Hong's eyes widened, he held the Pu knife with both hands, and in the face of the spear stabbed by Vice General Zhang, his head was slightly sideways, and he dodged Deputy General Zhang's attack. Holding the Pu knife high with both hands, he slashed it violently, but Deputy General Zhang was split in half by Cao Hong with a gun. The intestines and liver in the body were sprinkled all over the ground, and the Xuzhou soldiers around him bowed their heads and vomited wildly. The soldiers of Xuzhou, who have not experienced a war for a long time, have never seen such a bloody and cruel picture, perhaps, today's scene will accompany them for a lifetime and will never be dissipated.
"Ah, Vice General Qin and Vice General Zhang are dead, what should I do?"
"The enemy is too fierce, can we stop it?"
The soldiers of Xuzhou were stunned when they saw that their two generals were killed by the other general's blow, and the fear in their hearts was even worse, most of the soldiers held their weapons and did not have the courage to do it.
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is brave!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
On the other hand, Cao Cao's soldiers, seeing the bravery of Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, suddenly their morale rose again, and they seemed to have inexhaustible strength all over their bodies, and one after another Xuzhou soldiers fell under their attacks.
"Ah, help!"
"Father, mother, where are you, come and save the child!"
"We don't fight, we surrender!"
The soldiers of Xuzhou were beaten by Cao Cao's soldiers, whose morale was greatly increased, and they no longer had the courage to fight, some scattered and fled, and some dropped their weapons and surrendered. Xiahoudun and Cao Hong didn't care about this, and led the soldiers and horses to rush to the city gate and directly opened the city gate. Seeing this, Cao Cao, who was outside the city, waved his big hand, and the army rushed towards the city.
Since then, Pei County has been lost, the last barrier of Xiapi City has been lost, and Tao Qian is in danger. (To be continued.) )
