145 Chapter 143

The burning of the city wall thundered, and the surprise attack became a storm

*

In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, the war was raging, and the military situation in Xuzhou was urgent.

Cao Cao waved his army to the east, the army was covered, and the three roads pressed the north, west and south gates of Tanxian County, but saw that the banner under the city was like a cloud, the sword light was better than the snow, and the people were neighing on their horses, and the three armies each had tens of thousands of people.

Lu Bu divided the seven strong generals (Hao Meng had already disposed of) into three groups, and each went to the city gate to guard to meet the enemy.

Cao Cao's military order was issued, the three armies agreed to arrive early, Cao Jun's soldiers went out of the camp wall, built the soil for the mountain, piled up the stones into towers, waved the flag for the number, pushed dozens of thunderbolt cars up the dirt mountain and stone hills, the sergeants were lined up behind the car, working together, and struggling to pull the car spring together - in an instant, countless oil cans flew fiercely, pierced through the air and beat randomly, the rumbling sound was like thunder, and all of them crashed down on the opposite city wall.

Immediately afterward, archers and thunderbolts shot rockets, fireballs, and torches. But when he saw the impregnable city wall on the opposite side, covered with a thin layer of ice, the smoke was suddenly heavi, and it was shrouded in a black smoke and dust, and burned into a sea of fire.

In an instant, Tanxian County seemed to have turned into a burning city.

Thick black smoke rose into the sky, covering the city, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the haze was endless, as if the end of the world was coming.

The soldiers defending the city were either lined up in the army or standing on the city wall, and they were all stunned and stunned by this might, and the army was in turmoil.

The north wind blew the beacon smoke, and the black dust particles fell from the sky, and the old and weak women and children in the city, the ignorant and ignorant, who had never seen such a strange scene, all thought that they had offended the power of heaven, and this was the punishment from heaven, and they all knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and crying, praying for God's mercy and retracting the punishment.

For a time, in Tan County, people turned over on their backs, and the people ran and fled, crying for hundreds of miles, and the chaos was extreme.

Chen Gong hurriedly sent an order, ordering 1,000 infantry sergeants to run to the countryside to pacify the people and explain the cause of the fire.

After the arraignment, in the middle of winter, Chen Gong was already tired and sweaty.

He slapped his palm heavily and said with a pause: "I can't imagine that there is such a high-ranking person in Cao's army! This trick burns the ice wall and causes trouble to the people's hearts, and it is really absolutely amazing! This trick not only burns the ice on the city wall, but also uses the fireworks to roll and the sound is huge, and it shocks the hearts of our army! If it also causes panic among the people in the city and civil strife among the displaced people, shouldn't our army make trouble without a fight? This trick kills two birds with one stone, and it is ruthless!"

Lu Bu finished his suit, his armor was neat, he stood on top of the city wall, overlooking the bottom, and did not speak for a while.

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "General, the situation is critical, you still don't give the order?"

Lu Bu said: "The time has not yet come. ”

When the words fell, a pair of sharp and resolute handsome eyes like a falcon looked at Cao Jun who was pressed by the dense black below-

Where the flag flies, the word "Cao" in Douda looms in the wind and snow. Coupled with the "Xu" flag and the "Li" flag, it is obvious that in addition to Cao Cao of the Chinese army, the generals who led the attack on the south gate of Tanxian County were Xu Chu and Li Dian.

Even so, what am I afraid of?

Lu Bu said in his heart.

There was no hint of cringe in his eyes, a wisp of brocade was clenched in his palm, and the corners of his lips were secretly curled.

Not long after, one of the seven strong generals, Cao Xing's Pegasus, came.

Although it was a fine armor and ochre robe, even the helmet tassel was blackened by the smoke and fire, and he was covered with dirt and ran up to the city.

Cao Xing clenched his fists at Lu Bu and said urgently: "Wenhou, the north gate is in a hurry! After Xiahoudun took Lanling, he gathered the bandits of the second room and the mountain, and the army reached 50,000 and was attacking the city with all his might! Xiahoudun also had such stone-throwing mine-throwing carts in his army, and now the city wall of the north gate is on fire, and the situation is critical! The homeless people are in turmoil again, and they all think that there is a demon who has come to Tanxian, and they are crowded under the city gate, wanting to flee the city! Xiahoudun is a brave man, and our army has lost three battles in a row with his generals. The morale of the army is low, the people's hearts are unstable, and the people are disturbing and disturbing, and the last general is afraid of mutiny, so I hereby ask Wen Hou to decide!"

The guards of the north gate are Zang Ba, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, and Cheng Lian, among the four, Zang Ba's martial arts are the highest, but even Zang Ba is not Xiahoudun's enemy.

Lu Bu Chen Gong and others did not expect in advance that the momentum of this kind of thunderbolt car was so huge, the fire burned, the hearts of the people in the city were fluctuating, as a guard, they couldn't beat the other party, and there was civil strife, and they were afraid of mutiny in the army, and the four generals couldn't support it, which was also normal.

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Bu snorted disdainfully, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly transfer my four Taishan generals Yin Li, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Chang Xuan, as well as 10,000 Taishan soldiers, to the north gate!

Cao Xing's heart chuckled, and he secretly thought: "Taishan Sikou, those four people's martial arts, I'm afraid they are not as good as me! Where is that Xiahou Xuan's opponent?!"

He remembered the danger at the north gate again, and his heart was burning brightly, only to feel that it was very blocked.

Cao Xing originally thought that with Lu Bu's personality, after listening to Xiahou Dun's great majesty, he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and he would personally go to the north gate for a while, and return with a falling flower, but Lu Bu was very calm except for frowning and disdain......

Cao Xingsu knew that Lu Bu had no plan, and at the moment he didn't trust his military strategy, he stood still in a daze, with a pair of big black eyes, pitifully embedded in the black face, looking at Chen Gong for help......

Chen Gongtai has always been very powerful in soldiers, although he is not very good, but he is much more reliable than Lu Bu!

Who knows, Chen Gong agreed with Lu Bu this time, and said to Cao Xing: "The four Kou of Mount Tai have been captive and plundered in Taishan County for many years, and they have joined forces with the troops, and they have a huge momentum, but they can get along with the officials and the people without incident, which shows that they have a very good set of ways to win people's hearts. These four generals were sent not to confront Xiahoudun head-on, but to help you and others to appease the hearts of the people and soldiers. General Cao should not be suspicious, and quickly received the military order!"

Cao Xuan was a little stunned, and was about to go down to the city, but he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and turned back, and asked, "That's ...... What should Xiahoudun do?!"

Chen Gong frowned and said, "The south gate is the beacon fire. There is Cao Cao's Chinese army here, and there is General Xu Chu...... Xu Chu is much more powerful than that Xiahou Dun, and only Wen Hou can defeat him. It is impossible for Wenhou to go to the north gate with you, so you must hold off Xiahoudun!"

Cao Xing had a bitter face, and before he could speak, Lu Bu was already impatient, squeezed his fist, and said angrily: "Things are in a hurry, why don't you learn from Liu Bei's husband?

Cao Xing's lips were open, and he suddenly realized!

Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Guan, Zhang Sanzhan Wenhou?! Yes, it's a big deal that you can't beat them together, and you can't believe that Xiahou Xiao'er! Originally, Zang Ba was not much worse than Xiahou Dan!

Cao Xuan hurriedly received the military card, rushed down to the city, and went to fetch the four generals of Mount Tai.

As soon as Cao Xing left, Lu Bu ordered the defenders at the head of the city to release a round of arrows, suppressing the Cao army, which was descending like a tiger and a leopard, from one shot for the time being.

Half an hour later, Cao Jun approached, and Lu Bu frowned, his face a little awe-inspiring. He ordered the left and right orders to meet the enemy, strutted his head, bundled his helmet and armor, lifted Fang Tian's halberd, and walked down the city.

The Lü army has already been assembled and is waiting for battle.

But seeing the rules of the phalanx and preparing to go, Lu Bu shouted a few times to boost morale, so he ordered to open the city gate and lead the army to welcome out.

Chen Gong stood on the corner buttress platform, looking at the rising black smoke of the fire on the city wall, and a deep melancholy gradually appeared in his eyes.

The golden drums under the city resounded, shouting to kill the heavens, but he looked silently at the vast sky in the southwest-

There, in Liangcheng County, west of the Yi River, there is a group of fearless warriors. They are Lu Bu waiting for the opportunity he is looking forward to!

Chen Gong prayed silently, hoping that his feelings were wrong. But that deep and ominous premonition was like a dark cloud hovering overhead, overwhelming him.

This battle must not be lost! This city must not be lost!

***

Ancient Liangcheng Marquis, now the northwest of Liangcheng County, west of Yishui, there is a camp, by the mountains and the water, hidden and abnormal.

This is not his place, it is the place where Cao Jun hoarded grain and grass!

A few days ago, Lu Bu suddenly sent people from the Floating Clouds Department to search for the left side of Siwu County, the original target was too big and difficult to find, but the Floating Clouds Department was very agile and good at searching for secret agents, especially He Tong and Hua Heng, the two deputy leaders, who were good at drilling mountains and mountains.

Under the fatigue of the Fuyun Department day and night, it really locked this camp on the eve of the Cao Army's three-way army crushing the city.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he immediately sent 5,000 horses and cavalry from the Fuyun Department, and 1,000 cavalry from Gao Shun's trapped camp, bundled the grass and pretended that Xuchang's galloping aid grain and grass were delivered, and took advantage of the starry night to advance, silently, and marched to the place where Cao Cao hoarded grain in Liangcheng County.

- This matter is extremely secret, and once it successfully infiltrates Cao Jun's granary, it can immediately set fire to the grain.

At that time, no matter how high and strong General Cao Ying's ability to protect the grain is, he will not be able to resist the speed of the raging fire. And once the grain and grass are burned, the Cao army has no food to eat, and the follow-up is weak, Tan County will hold out for two more days at most, and the Cao army will be in chaos, and it will definitely be defeated!

Because of this, Lü Bu tried his best to preserve his troops, and he was still able to hold on to seeing Cao's army vigorously attacking the city. As a last resort, he really didn't want to lose his troops and spend too many troops to resist a powerful enemy.

He was waiting, waiting for news from Liangcheng County.

But for some reason, the news of the success of the grain burning has not been delayed.

The clock was turned back three hours.

But it was said that the Floating Clouds and the Trap camp were on the march. Gao Shun led 1,000 hard-armored soldiers in the trap camp in front, and Kong Lian, Zhangba, Yan Lie, He Tong, and Hua Heng led 5,000 Fuyun troops to quietly cross the Yi River and sneak to Cao's granary.

In order to prevent the commotion, marching along the way, and alarming the enemy's scouts, the sergeants should have put a spoon in their mouths (in order to make a sound unconsciously, they had a piece in their mouths), and even restrained the horse's mouth to prevent it from neighing, so that it disappeared, and saw that they were about to reach their destination.

Suddenly, a horse galloped and rushed up from behind. 166 Reading Network
