Chapter 305: Release the rats in the city and bite the big insects in the village
A sword out, ten thousand drums.
Seven colored flags, thousands of war drums, seven torrents and thousands of thunders. Ji Ling, Zhang Yan and others led Qinglong, Baihu and other banner soldiers to rush to the place where the city was an arrow away.
The banner in the hands of the flag bearers under the banner of Xinghuang was suddenly raised high above their heads, and one hundred and ten stone throwers, rushing city vehicles, cloud ladders and wells were launched one after another in a colorful array, standing proudly in front of thousands of troops and horses, like a giant beast with a hideous mouth.
"Stone-throwing!"
As the order from the flag bearer's mouth fell, the flag also fell. The sound of the stone throwing machine sounded at the same time, and thousands of people slammed the tight ropes in their hands, and more than a thousand stone bullets flew into the sky like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, and then poured down from the sky, slamming on the head of the city father.
Under the knock of the flying stones, the city wall unwillingly let out bursts of wails, and Cao Jun also let out a mournful roar in the rain of stones.
"Stand in the shield and fight back on the spot!"
Cao Hong gave an order, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban and other generals followed with a roar, Dian Wei and Xu Zhu had already protected Cao Cao to hide under the female wall, and the sword and shield soldiers under his command were scattered next to the arrow stomping, and by the way, they raised the shield in front of them and above their heads, covering the crossbowmen before the arrow stamped.
Five thousand crossbowmen firmly stuck to the arrows and stomped, the big yellow bow, carved bow, horn bow, waist crossbow and the crossbow on the head of the city were as tense as the full moon, and the sharp arrows were like lightning from nine days, plunging into the Yuan Shu army under the city, flying arrows like rain, and the early sun was like blood.
The ranged weapons of both sides are facing off, and the stone thrower and the city defense crossbow have become the staple of this appetizer.
The soldiers on the head of the city and under the city who did not avoid the edge of both sides were considered to have fallen for eight lifetimes of blood mold, and fell to the head of the city or under the horse with a scream under the attack of falling rocks and feathered arrows. The splashing rain of blood and the undulating wails seemed to open a large lion dance venue above and below the city at the same time.
"Siege!"
The flag bearer looked coldly at the fallen soldier in front of him, and cold words spat out from his mouth. Zhang Yan, Ji Ling, Liu Xun, Li Damu and others waved their weapons at the same time, and the cavalry dodged aside, and the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers and engineering soldiers behind them stepped forward one after another, pushing the siege vehicle and carrying the ladder straight to the city.
The city gates clanged with the rambling of the city gates, and a hook with a ladder was attached to the city wall, a bucket
Barrels of fire oil and boiling water poured down from the city, logs tumbled in mid-air along the ladder, and a group of warriors once again aimed their blades at the enemy.
The huge meat grinder has started a new round of work.
……
At three o'clock, the sun gradually sank, Cao Cao slowly walked up to the city, looked at Cao Hong and other generals with a tired face, sighed and asked, "How is the situation today?" ”
As if he was paralyzed, Cao Hong stood up with his support for the city wall and gave a military salute to Cao Cao: "Today, from the hour to the hour of the unitary, for six hours, Yuan Shu attacked the city father like crazy. The four city gates are frequently in an emergency, but fortunately, Xu Zhongkang and Miaocai help take care of them, so that they will not be killed at the head of the city.
In the battle during the day, the soldiers under the command of the last general were wounded and lost three or four percent, and the army under the command of Yuan Shu did not stop attacking until a moment ago, of course, they suffered a lot of losses, about seven or eight thousand people, which is twice the casualties of our army.
However, the last general was worried that although they had retreated temporarily, they had not broken their bones at all, and according to Yuan Shu's character of retribution, it was very likely that they would reinvigorate the army tonight and launch an attack overnight! ”
Cao Cao patted Cao Hong, nodded and said, "You are right, this Yuan Highway is a mad dog, if someone is kind to him, he will definitely do everything to meet that person's needs." But if someone dares to touch his interests, he will definitely bite back tenfold.
His behavior is unruly and cannot be speculated on by common sense. Back then, he and Yuan Benchu were also brothers of flesh and blood, but because Benchu passed on to Yuan Zhouyang, the resources of the Yuan family were no longer unique to him, and the relationship between him and Yuan Benchu deteriorated.
Now, he is facing the three-way encirclement and suppression of Wang Deyu, Sun Wentai and Liu Xuande, and the military situation is like fire, and his life is becoming more and more difficult. We only have tens of thousands of troops here, and I'm afraid he has long taken a fancy to this and wants to break through from here to Jizhou or Youzhou and other places.
Since we have touched his interests, and he did not take the city father during the day, then tonight must be another tough battle! Zilian, you first lead the team down to rest and take a look at Zixiao by the way, and then order Yu Wenze to be in charge of the city defense tonight! ”
……
"Of course tonight will be a vicious killing, I, Yuan, have been chivalrous all my life, how can I let him Cao Mengde hit him under his nose and be a turtle with a shrunken head? Hmph, tonight
If you can't drive him out of the city, won't you live up to your plan and mine in the days before? ”
Almost at the same time, Yuan Shu was also discussing the current battle situation with Yuan Shu, but the two of them did not have the so-called sense of urgency that Cao Cao said, but were filled with a smile on their faces, and their expressions were extremely relaxed.
Yuan Jian nodded and said with a smile: "What the lord said is very true, Cao Mengde also thought that he occupied the city father and could face the lord from now on and put the entire county in his hands, but he didn't know that we had already dug a big hole for him, just waiting for him to get in!" ”
Yuan Shu's face tightened slightly, and he sighed: "Yes, Wang Deyu and Sun Wentai's troops entered Runan and Qichun, and the two armies were quite close to each other, once something happened, the two echoed each other, and Liu Xuande's little boy who sold the banquet only attacked Huaiyuan for the time being, and it was no big problem." Yuan also had no way, so he had to take Cao Mengde's knife.
But to be honest, Cao Mengde has experienced dozens of battles, and has fought with Wang Deyu, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao's concubine, defeated and defeated repeatedly, and his toughness is comparable to that of Huangjing sticks, which is simply a cockroach that cannot be killed. Yaoqing, we must not be careless, have all the arrangements in the city been arranged? ”
Yuan Jian shook his head: "Don't worry, the lord, Wei Chen has already started to prepare after receiving the secret letter from the lord that day, and he has already chosen a grain merchant in the city as the internal response." This grain merchant's ancestral hometown is Shouchun, and the family is under the nose of the lord, and Weichen dares to assert that he does not have the slightest hesitation and repetition! ”
"Yes!" Looking at the afterglow on the top of the mountain in the distance, Yuan Shu clapped his hands and stood up, "Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang." In today's battle, the athletes of our army went forward one after another, suffered heavy casualties, and the battle situation was extremely heroic, and even the deputy general of the army suffered several casualties.
I believe that Cao Mengde has already fallen into the scheme, and he will never think that this is actually just Yuan's trick, and he will never think that Yuan's real killing machine does not come from these heroic military athletes, but the hands of the night under Yuan's command.
In the past, Meng Weijun used the rooster and dog thieves to abscond out of Qin and return to the Qi country, thus taking the opportunity to avoid the scourge of killing. Today, Yuan also wants to learn from Meng Weijun, and he also wants to use these dark night hands to give Cao Mengde a fatal blow! ”
Yuan Jian also got up and sighed, with a fierce expression: "Release the rats in the city and bite and kill the big insects in the village!" If Cao Mengde is still a big worm, then tonight is the time for Yuan to correct the name of the dark night! ”
