Chapter 69: Stupid......
In fact, Cai Mao is indeed coming back soon!
The messenger sent by Cao Cao was a smart man, dressed up as a refugee all the way, quietly went south, escaped the chaos, and finally met Cai Mao with a constipated face!
"Are you really sent by the imperial court to deliver the decree?"
Looking at the yellow-skinned and dying refugee in front of him, Cai Mao felt that his IQ had been insulted!
That person either didn't talk much, or he was hungry and couldn't speak, anyway, he untied his dirty clothes, took out a silk book, and handed it to Cai Mao's henchmen with both hands!
Cai Mao opened it and was taken aback, mud horse, it's really a holy decree, now the emperor is not valuable, the holy decree is still valuable!
After all, most of the time, the holy decree is not the emperor's will, but Cao Cao's will!
"Tell the angels! Obey the order! ”
"Xuanxuan...... No! See for yourself! "That guy fainted from hunger!
Cai Mao had no choice but to suppress the ecstasy in her heart, and ordered someone to carry the hungry angel to treat her, and she read this will several times, looking up to the sky and laughing!
"Why is the Governor laughing?" Zhang Yun and Cai Mao have a good relationship, this time they went south to quell the rebellion, and they were also ordered, and now they are by Cai Mao's side!
"Come on! Read it out loud a few times! ”
Zhang Yun took the holy decree and looked at it, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Lord, please accept the last general!" ”
"Hahaha, a certain family has become the lord at this time! Take the holy decree and go with a certain family to find Huo Jun and Huang Zu, the two old slippery heads......"
Huo Jun and Huang Zu looked at the holy decree, it was indeed true, the holy decree issued by the imperial court!
However, judging from the current situation, this is obviously Cao Cao's poisonous plan!
This holy decree is to provoke a big war and weaken Jingzhou, so as to prepare for him to go south after pacifying the north!
Now the Yuan clan in the north still exists, and there is a civil unrest in various places, which is the same as in the south, Cao Cao is quite a headache!
Cao Cao obviously felt that this time the civil unrest was guided and organized by a master, and the war was fought with a clear eye and cunning as a fox!
Cao Ah hid from whom, and received a clever plan for his subordinates, telling them to be like this......
Unexpectedly, he was still being tricked by others, losing soldiers and generals, and in just a few months, he lost four counties and twenty-seven counties for a long time!
In this way, the original scattered traitors were actually connected, and it turned out that they were a family!
Cao Cao felt a little annoyed, temporarily stopped his attack on the Yuan family, and instead began to deal with these thieves in person!
Cao Cao's strategy against Jingzhou was as Huo Jun and Huang Zu expected!
Huo Jun and Huang Zu saw the holy decree, and they had to promise Cai Mao that they would definitely go north with Cai Mao to quell the chaos......
Cai Mao finally made up his mind, and now his more than 8,000 people, plus Huo Jun, Huang Zu's people, and the people and horses of other counties and counties, have gathered more than 30,000 troops!
Guan Yu, who is now guarding Yicheng, only has 4,000 people, so why be afraid!
So Cai Mao left Zhang Yun, brought 10,000 soldiers, refused to go north, and led more than 20,000 soldiers to the north to attack Liu Bei!
In this case, Wang Zhirong and the others already knew it well, and the scouts sent hundreds in order to get Cai Mao's news!
Therefore, before Cai Mao and Guan Yu go to war, solve Cai Mao's forces in Nanyang and Nanjun as soon as possible......
Zhuge Liang is not enough to surround the huge castle of the Cai family!
"What a rat! If it weren't for these people who poisoned the world, why would the Han be here! Zhuge Liang pointed to this big city and said bitterly.
"Senior brother, what should I do now?" Liu Qi asked.
"Wait for Cai Zhong in the city to fight! You can take people to the battle, and don't fire the cannon for the time being, or they will be too scared to come out! ”
However, to Zhuge Liang's surprise, this cowardly bag was really instigated, only putting cold arrows on the city, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight!
"String the Eight Ox Crossbows, prepare all kinds of Yellow Horn Crossbows and Qin Crossbows, and shoot arrows as long as someone in the city comes up!" Zhuge Liang said angrily!
"Choose a smart and capable soldier, bring vinegar, bring our academy pickaxe, first soak the city wall with vinegar, and dig a deep hole at the bottom of the city wall! Stuff with fire. Medicine, blow up a hole first! ”
Zhuge Liang said that the pickaxe is also a traverser, and it was passed through with Wang Zhirong and the academy, which was originally a pickaxe used by the institute to dig plants in the rocks, and the molten steel is excellent!
The soil on the surface of the city wall is made of egg white, glutinous rice, lime and steamed soil rammed into a triple soil, which is extremely hard, but it is afraid that it is sour, and it can be dug up if it is soaked in vinegar!
Although the flowers and rivers of Jingzhou Emperor Lao Tzu were lost, Liu Qi and Liu Gouyu were not sad at all, but felt very excited!
He personally took people on a mission!
When the people in the city saw someone approaching, they began to shoot arrows, but they were shot through several by the powerful eight-bull crossbow spears, and they were so frightened that they shrank their heads and did not dare to come out!
Since he was ready to storm the city, Zhuge Liang decisively ordered some medium-sized siege fires to be released. Arrow. Tube, it's easy to knock out the vat of gold juice hanging at the head of the city!
The so-called golden juice vat, in fact, is a that is heated with fire, when someone is attacking the city, it can fall down, pour it on people's heads, burn people, not to mention, but also disgusting people, so that many people are discouraged......
This thing is controlled by the mechanism, and through the observation hole, when they see that people are gathering under the city to prepare to enter the city, as soon as they pull the rope, the thing turns over and drenches down......
So in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Shalin is going to break this batch of things first......
Then, the soldiers who had just approached, including Liu Gouyu, smelled the smell that they would never forget!
Mud horses, it's really good!
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang instructed in advance, and each of them took out a mask and put it on, this thing was ordered by Wang Zhirong to be made!
In order to know that there is such a moment, charcoal is added to it, and after it is moistened by exhalation, it is still quite effective to filter the flavor......
Not only did they put on masks, but in groups of ten, they lifted a wooden shelf nailed with iron sheets, and each of them held an umbrella! Keep going......
The next thing the group had to do was to fire the rolling wood and stones, and splash the boiling oil......
With the equipment in front of you, you can stand the rolling wood and stones, and prevent the boiling oil from scalding!
Of course, the biggest effect of pouring oil on the city is not to burn the enemy, but to make the city wall slip without leaving a hand, so that the siege soldiers have nowhere to stay......
It's a pity that they miscalculated......
This group of people had no intention of climbing the city wall at all!
Step by step, they climbed through the rain of stones and huge spiky logs, braving the hot oil, and gradually reached the foot of the city wall......
Then, he began to pour vinegar on the walls and began to slowly try to dig......
If the people of the city do not show their heads and look at it, they will never be able to see the foot of the city wall, because the observation hole can only see the enemy in the distance!
Zhuge Liang ordered the drums to stop, the crossbow was wound, and he was ready to fight, and once there was a rise, he would be shot to death!
The people in the city had no idea what the people who were just approaching were doing, so they could only stop the rolling wood and hot oil attack, and be stupid......
