Chapter 232: Kill Cao Wenzhao
Chapter 232: Kill Cao Wenzhao
The next day, Wang Ziyong pushed all the soldiers and horses in the rear to the foot of Sanshui City, as if he wanted to take this not very strong county town in one go.
Ganquan City has been taken by officers and soldiers, and the siege of Xi'an Mansion has also been resolved by officers and soldiers. Soon, after the officers and soldiers dealt with the attack of Fengxiang Mansion, they would send out a part of the soldiers and horses to rescue the soldiers and horses in Sanshui County. If the officers and soldiers of Sanshui County are allowed to run away again, then what face does he have to go back to see Wang Jiayin, especially in the face of Gao Yingxiang, he can't raise his head.
On this day, before dawn, the peasant army launched a fierce attack on Sanshui County. Standing in the city, you can clearly feel that this attack is more fierce than before, and the small Sanshui County, under the flood of the peasant army, seems to be crushed at any time.
Cao Wenzhao hung his sword at his waist and strode up to the city, the sound of bows and arrows in his ears was mixed with the sound of fighting, and the city was filled with blood and dust.
When it comes to fighting at this point, any strategy is useless, and what you fight is willpower. The peasant army besieged everywhere, the offensive was very fierce, the casualties of the defenders in the city increased sharply, and the troops were completely insufficient, but Cao Wenzhao could no longer have any extra troops in his hands. Cao Bianjiao has been on top of the city, and as soon as he killed an enemy soldier, the corner of his eye swept to Cao Wenzhao in the rear.
Wiping the blood on his face, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly ran over and said anxiously: "Uncle, why did you come to the city?" Hurry down......"
"Nonsense, the old man is not old enough to lift a knife, don't talk nonsense, kill the enemy with the old man. Tell the brothers that if the thieves break through Sanshui County, none of us will survive. ”
"Hey, okay" Cao Bianjiao couldn't resist Cao Wenzhao, so he could only nod with a stiff face, turned around, but was stunned again, hesitated, and said with a responsible face: "Uncle, there are too many thieves, and the water around Sanshui County is impassable, and we are almost used to defend the city, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, if there are no reinforcements, I think..... This Sanshui County can't be defended....."
Cao Wenzhao took a deep look at his nephew, and finally felt a little unbearable in his heart. This is the last lone seedling of the old Cao family, "Do you want to break through?" ”
"Breakout?" Cao Bianjiao pursed his lips and said with a wry smile, "Uncle, don't tell jokes, the posture of the thieves can't even fly out, how can they break through?" If you break through at this time, you will only die faster. ”
"Hehe" Cao Wenzhao's eyes suddenly showed a smile of relief, and he stroked his beard and smiled, "You are sensible, tell the brothers, we have reinforcements, and according to the schedule, we should be in Sanshui County soon." ”
"Where's the reinforcements?" Cao Bianjiao's face changed and changed, no matter how much he wanted to run his head, he couldn't figure out where this reinforcement that could turn the tide of the battle was. Xi'an Mansion can free up some soldiers and horses to help Sanshui County, but if you want to resolve the crisis in Sanshui County, you can't do it for a while.
Cao Wenzhao didn't intend to tell Cao Bianjiao, picked up a knife on the ground, strode past Cao Bianjiao, and said lightly: "You'll know soon, of course, if we can hold out until they arrive." ”
Cao Wenzhao's eyes did not have the confidence he had before, and this time, he was really not sure if everything could develop as planned. The peasant army surrounded in all directions and desperately attacked, which Cao Wenzhao had not thought of before. It is this kind of life-fighting style that leaves no room for death, so that Cao Wenzhao can't find a way to deal with it. Sometimes there are so many troops that any strategy loses its meaning.
The offensive and defensive battle in Sanshui County is still continuing, and the dilapidated county seat is obviously crumbling, but it has not been able to take it. Wang Ziyong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and when he was bored, a guard hurriedly walked over.
"Leader Wang, King Gaochuang's reinforcements have come out of Qishan, and they will be able to Sanshui County tomorrow, King Gaochuang sent someone to pass the word, asking us how the situation is, if our troops are not sustained and there is suffering, he can send his cavalry to come first!"
After hearing these words, Mo said that the king used it himself, even Zhang Dashou and the others also turned extremely ugly. In these words, what is heard is not asking politeness, but naked sarcasm. What does it mean to have no troops? Isn't he laughing at Wang's self-use department for not even being able to take down a small Sanshui County, and still need his Gao Yingxiang's help?
Wang Ziyong is not a person with a small belly, but after all, he has to be faced, and for a while, his breathing fluctuated, and his face was gloomy and terrible. He didn't think of asking Gao Yingxiang for help, everything was arranged by Wang Jiayin's big leader.
"Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear that? Everyone has said this, if we don't fight for it, won't it become a joke in the eyes of others in the future? ”
At this time, Zhang Cunmeng stood up, straightened his waist and said angrily: "Leader Wang, don't worry, your subordinates will personally go to the city to supervise the battle." I still don't believe it, there are so many of us, and we can't take a small Sanshui County? That Gao Yingxiang, I want to see our jokes, let's do his spring and autumn dreams. ”
Picking up the helmet on the table, Zhang Cunmeng left the house in a huff. Zhang Cunmeng is a very practical person, often does what he says, and never discounts, which is also the reason why many people admire Zhang Cunmeng.
The project was in full swing, Zhang Cunmeng stood under the city with a knife, called several leaders under his command, and commanded sharply: "All go up to Lao Tzu and take the lead in fighting, if anyone disgraces Lao Tzu, the officers and soldiers will spare you, and Lao Tzu will not let you go." Let's go and prepare, in a quarter of an hour, I will personally lead the troops to attack, if anyone drags back, we will have an account to settle together. ”
With the arrival of Zhang Cunmeng, the siege of the city has eased somewhat, but no matter inside or outside the city, anyone who is not a fool will not be happy. For it can be seen that the peasant army is temporarily retreating in order to prepare for a more violent attack.
Sure enough, without anyone taking a nap, a new round of attacks began. The peasant army, led by the leaders, roared madly, and they carried the ladder and once again embarked on a road of death.
In the city, tung oil, arrows, and even wood have been used up. Some of the soldiers had their blades cut off. Normally, in this case, the thieves would have been defeated a long time ago, but this group of thieves not only did not retreat, but also became more and more crazy, like a group of mad dogs who did not want to die.
"Kill, who can rush to the city, kill Cao Wenzhao, the big boss will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and ten beauties."
"Ah..... Kill, kill all the officers and soldiers, kill Cao Wenzhao! The roar was wave after wave, and the offensive of the thieves was getting more and more crazy.
Under the long-term high pressure, the defense of Sanshui County, which was barely maintained, finally appeared a crack at this moment.
