Chapter 415: A Hard Battle
Boss Cao once again released his messenger Manzhong, wanting to cross the Yingshui River to find out the truth of Yuan Yao's army, but he was blocked on the bank of the Yingshui River, just kidding, the army is on the air, it's not bad if you don't shoot you directly with a bow and arrow, how can you let you cross the Yingshui.
Finally, after waiting for Man Pet to pass Yingshui, someone over there came to intercept him, and this time he was arrested as a spy. was thrown directly into the prison of Lujiang.
This is just the beginning, Man Pet explained for so long, and then he was released from the prison, and he was about to see Yuan Yao, and was told that Yuan Yao was not in Lujiang but in Shouchun.
Well, our full pet lord didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately rushed to Shouchun, and when he arrived in Shouchun, he was told that the lord Yuan Yao had gone back to Lujiang.
In the past few days, our full pet adult can be regarded as a broken leg.
When Man Chong hadn't seen Yuan Yao yet, Yuan Yao's main army had already crossed Yingshui and appeared in Caicheng, the border between Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
The defenders of Caicheng are Cao Ren's subordinates, there are few villains in the entire Caicheng City, and the defenders are full of no more than a thousand people, where do they dare to face the main force of the Huainan army led by Xu Shu, and the people of Yanzhou have too many stable days, and they didn't have time to flee when Xu Shu's army arrived.
Fortunately, Yuan Yao's Huainan soldiers and horses are still strict, otherwise the people of Yanzhou would be unlucky.
Caicheng is strong and clear, and even he is a mud bodhisattva who has crossed the river, so there is no way to keep those county seats.
There are basically not many obstacles along the way.
Xu Shu's soldiers and horses are overwhelming.
On the third day, the entire Cai County, except for the county seat, all other places fell.
Even Cai Cheng couldn't hold on much, and at this level of outnumberedness, if he failed again, it would really not be what he was.
"Strategist, although there are not many defenders in Caicheng, the city walls are also towering!" The generals on the side asked Xu Shu, hoping that Xu Shu would have any way to surrender the army without a fight and use strategies to capture Caicheng.
It's a pity that this time he miscalculated Xu Shu's indifferent words: "As a general, greedy for life and afraid of death, then there is no need to fight, it is better to go back and hold the child!" ”
"Military advisor, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but I can't bear to sacrifice the soldiers in vain!" The general colonel on the side retorted.
"Fighting a war is meant to kill people, and no matter how well a soldier or horse is trained, it is not as good as training on the battlefield!" Xu Shu pulled out the main force of the Huainan Army this time, and another purpose was to train their ability to attack the city.
Although Caicheng is tall, there are not many defenders, if it is not used for training at this moment, when will it be used.
"Yes!"
The general under his hand. Obeying Xu Shu's orders, one by one began to attack Caicheng, Huainan's soldiers and horses, not without a strong army, but Huainan's generals and colonels, one by one were beaten cold, first Lu Bu and then Cao Cao, and who was the former opponent of the Huainan army?
Yan Baihu, Liu Yao, these things.
In other words, it is more than the upper than the bottom.
"The drums of war are roaring! Yuan Yao's army should have had a stone thrower, but Xu Shu was ruthless, and the whole army only needed to take the ladder to the city wall.
The troops took turns.
The giant shield hand, carrying a sturdy shield, covered the robes on the side and lowered towards the city wall, and when he reached the city wall, countless ladders climbed to the edge of the city wall.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Above the city, Cao's generals commanded the archers under his command, tilting their bows and arrows under the city walls.
"Our archers, return fire, return fire!" Fortunately, there is no moat in Cai City, otherwise it would have been shot into a hornet's nest by someone long ago.
Xu Shu's face was pale, fortunately, this time he attacked Caicheng, if he changed the location, such as Xuchang or something, it would be a lot of fun.
The main force he brought with him had to be killed or wounded at least half before he could climb the city walls.
"Auxiliaries, go to the mouth of the city wall to build fortifications!" Xu Shu frowned and taught those Huainan new troops how to attack the city step by step. The long shield sandbag soon formed a small place to guard against the rain of arrows.
"Archers, enter the fortifications and support the walls!" The archers took refuge in the giant shields, under the sandbags, and fought back towards the top of the city, and for a moment there was a scream from the top of the city.
It's rubbish in the front, but fortunately, I'm finally able to take out a little bit of it in the back.
It is a good hand to climb the city wall with a ladder.
Because they also know that if they don't hurry up to the city wall, staying on the cloud ladder will definitely be a dead end, and there is still life on the city wall, so they are all scrambling to climb towards Cai Cheng.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Fierce shouts of slaughter rippled above the city.
Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction, one by one, the originally immature soldiers became veterans, they knew how to survive in the battlefield, and they had seen blood and no longer trembled their calves and stomachs as soon as they saw blood.
On the other hand, those veterans of Huainan also brought back their lost self-confidence.
Isn't it the Yanzhou Army? Not all of them are three-headed and six-armed, and even if they are cut down, they will still bleed to death.
The situation is getting better and better for the Huainan army, a Huainan army rushed to the city wall, and was soon defeated by the Yanzhou defenders on the city wall, but he bought time for more Huainan troops to climb towards the top of the city one by one.
The dense crowd of people soon had a place above the city, relying on this as a springboard, the city began to slowly become the home of the Huainan army.
"Reserves, reserves!" It was only a day's work on the top of the city, and the defenders of Caicheng had to use reserves, and even the defenders with the other three walls were also mobilized.
At this time, Xu Shu's order also arrived, and another wave of troops attacked the city wall.
Xu Shu is blooming on all sides of the city wall, and the art of war originally has three missing one in the cloud encirclement, which is to fear that the defenders in the city will jump off the wall in a hurry, and now Xu Shu is directly blooming on all sides, and he did not plan to let the Yanzhou defenders in the city survive.
All of them were used as training for the Huainan Army.
"Three years ago, my Huainan soldiers and horses were killed by the Yanzhou Cao army and the blood flowed like a river, not a piece of armor was left, so it was not miserable, today the brothers of the Huainan army, we want to return the shame of the year to him, pass on my military order, the whole army will attack, and no one in Caicheng will be left." The Huainan Army has elite troops and ordinary troops, elite soldiers and horses into the camp, and the state wolf cavalry, robbery cavalry battalion, Yulinwei and the like, but it also requires a large number of ordinary troops to fill it, whether it is the wolf cavalry or the robbery battalion or the like, that is from the ordinary army to select the elite to join, only such a tough battle, can make the Huainan army as a whole to achieve change.
