Kill! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"The lord has an order, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"

"Huo ..... Hey! ”

Hearing that after the city was breached, they could slaughter and loot, and the soldiers cheered together. Being a soldier under Cao Cao was a terrible thing, in addition to the soldiers themselves being treated like slaves, their families also had to farm the land to provide food and grass for the army. In short, the whole family was on a thief ship.

The only good thing is that Cao Cao will loosen the ropes for the soldiers from time to time, so that they can vent their grievances in rape/adultery. Since entering Yanzhou, the enemies encountered have been vulnerable. Although there are a lot of defenders in the city now, there are only a few thousand people in armor, and when they are killed, they can live happily for a few days!

First of all, the men who were requisitioned, who were given a bamboo pole, or a broken weapon such as a firewood knife, and some were given a wooden plank, and then they were forced by the soldiers behind to go forward and fill the ravine. The men were all villagers in the vicinity, and their families were all locked up in the camp by Cao Jun, or they were included in the team that transported grain and grass. If they dared to run, the whole family would be put to death immediately.

These people wailed and wept as they dragged the sacks forward. When Cao Chun, who was supervising the battle, saw this, he shouted to the soldiers under him: "Shoot the arrows and shoot me to death those who are behind!" ”

Without mercy, the soldiers pulled their bowstrings and fired arrows, instantly killing dozens of people who had fallen behind. As if they had been whipped suddenly, the men immediately quickened their pace and rushed forward with all their might. The officer overseeing the battle shouted from behind: "Just fill in three bags of soil, and let you go back to your families!" ”

At the head of the city, Zhang Miao saw the villagers throwing the sacks filled with dirt into the moat, and couldn't help but scold Cao A for being shameless, and then ordered: "One more team of crossbowmen will come up and shoot those people below to death!" ”

He shouted to the soldiers and the people at the head of the city, "You have all heard, the thief said, after the city is broken, you and your wives will all die!" ”

The soldiers and people in the city were shocked when they heard this, they knew too well what kind of person Cao Cao was, and if they said that killing the whole family was really killing the whole family, they really wanted to kill the whole family. Originally, there was some pity for the sake of the villagers, and the arrows were deliberately missed, hoping that the people below could return by themselves, but how could this be?

If you retreat, not only will you die, but your whole family will be killed, and it is better to be shot to death under this city!

The defenders were no longer kept, and arrows and crossbows continued to fall, killing the poorly equipped villagers one by one on the edge of the moat. All of a sudden, the sound of the bowstring vibrating and screaming mixed in, filling the small space beneath the city. When Zhang Miao saw it, he shouted: "Yes, that's it, I want to see how many people Cao Ah has to send you to death!" ”

The Zhang family is a local wealthy family, and there are thousands of people in the family alone, with bows, crossbows, and armor. The city was stocked with enough supplies to hold it for a long time. When defending a city, a crossbow is a better weapon than a bow and arrow. Crossbow bolts can be loaded first and then raised to attack, so that the defenders are not easily hit by enemies outside the city.

But now the Cao army was only driving the people to fill the ravines, and there was basically no crossbowmen to cover them, so the defenders of the city could rain arrows on the heads of the poor people with impunity. People are constantly being shot by arrows, and they fall to the ground but cannot die for a while, but can only struggle and wail on the ground.

At this time, being able to die early has become a relief.

Above their heads were the falling armor soldiers, surrounded by their comrades who were wailing loudly and screaming, and many of them could not stand this cruel environment, threw away the sacks and shields in their hands, and ran backwards. The soldiers of the Cao army, who were overseeing the battle, were unceremonious to these fleeing people, and raised their spears and ring-headed knives and slashed them.

Even if there were those who ran fast, there were cavalry who chased them and killed them. With the joint efforts of the defenders of the city and the Cao army outside the city, the young men who were forcibly recruited were soon killed and wounded. The moat was mostly filled, and Cao soldiers in heavy armor stepped forward with shields and threw corpses all over the ground into the moat, filling in several wide passages.

Human corpses were stacked on top of each other in the moat, looking disgusting and terrifying. There was another drum beating in the rear of Cao's army, and the soldiers of the brigade poured out, preparing to join the ants and enter the city. Xun You said beside Cao Cao: "Lord, if you attack the city like this, even if you can defeat it, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties." Why not build the equipment first, and then it's not too late to storm the city? ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "We don't have that much time, we must take Yanzhou before Chen Cheng reacts, and it's nothing to die." ”

"But if such a city is defeated, I am afraid that our army will be greatly damaged."

"Don't worry about this," Guo Jia said on the side: "With this city as an example, how many people in the back dare to resist?" The elite soldiers of Yanzhou were all relocated to Sili, and all that was left was 30,000 weak soldiers and horses who were undertrained. The only thing to worry about is the private trilogy of the powerful people in various places. The lord first shocked them with thunder, and then promised that as long as he surrendered, he would not be guilty of the past, and naturally no one would dare to resist again! ”

Xi Zhicai had died of illness when he was in Yuzhou, and Xun Yu retreated to Yecheng with Cao Ang and Xiahoudun, so for a long time, Guo Jia was Cao Cao's most important advisor.

After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he laughed and said, "I still know my filial piety." ”

Although Zhang Miao withdrew all his troops to the city, and requisitioned all the strong men and women in the city to defend the city, how could he withstand the constant attack of Cao's army? Soon, several parts of the city wall began to be in a hurry. Zhang Miao was able to calm down, slapped the reserve teams up, and carried the wounded down for treatment.

After two days of storming, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and Cao's army also lost more than 1,000 people. Once Cao's army had already rushed to the city, but was pushed back by Zhang Miao himself with his troops. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle under the city, was also a little surprised when he saw it. Zhang Miao used to be his good friend, so he knew Zhang Miao very well.

Although Zhang Miao is very accomplished in scripture, he does not know the art of war, and he has never heard of being good at leading troops to fight, so he would never have had such courage and determination in the past. But how did it become like this now?

There are people killed in battle at any time in the city and under the city, but Cao Cao is groaning. He looked at the corpses that had piled up under the city walls, thought for a moment, and ordered the soldiers to withdraw first. Then he sat on the cart with the Huang Luo umbrella cover, went straight to the position outside the city and shouted at the city: "Meng Zhuo, you have already killed and injured so many people, how many days can you hold out?" I'll give you one last chance, surrender, and I'll treat you as a good friend!" ”

Zhang Miao poked his head out of the city, quenched a mouthful of the city, and scolded: "Cao Mengde, don't use this trick in front of me!" Want to trick me into opening the city gates? Don't! ”

Cao Cao sighed, shook his head, and said, "I would have set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" ”

Zhang Miao faced his own subordinates behind the battlements and said, "Are you ready?" ”

The subordinate replied, "It's ready." ”

Zhang Miao: "The person in the car is Cao Cao, you must shoot!" ”

More than a dozen crossbowmen flashed out from behind the battlements, raised their crossbows and headed towards Cao **. Although they were far away, these crossbowmen were the best at archery under Zhang Miao's command, and they used weapons that were beyond the ordinary, so there were still arrows that hit the top of the umbrella cover.

When Cao Cao saw someone suddenly getting up at the head of the city, he couldn't help but shout, "Oops! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, arrows whistled. Many arrows and crossbow bolts fell on the umbrella cover, without causing any mountains and seas, but one crossbow bolt hit Cao Cao. He screamed and landed on his back in the cart. Xu Chu, who was guarding on the side, was shocked, led someone forward, and snatched Cao Cao back.

Zhang Miao was surprised and delighted when he saw Cao Cao's arrow falling, and he poked his head out of the city wall, wanting to see it more clearly. Whether Cao Cao is dead or alive is a completely different situation. But after Cao Cao fell, dozens of thieves rushed up and dragged the cart back.

Because there were many cavalry outside, Zhang Miao did not dare to send troops out of the city to pursue, so he could only watch Cao Cao being robbed back like this. The most infuriating thing is that there is a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, who untied the reins of the horse that was shot and killed, pulled a cart weighing hundreds of pounds, and ran fast, and I don't know how he had so much strength.

Zhang Miao pointed to the big man who pulled the cart and said, "Xu Chu is loyal to Cao Cao!" ”

After Cao Cao's arrow was snatched back, Cao's army also stopped attacking the city, and even the scouts around the area reduced the frequency of their activities. The next day, Cao's army did not come to attack the city, but pulled out the camp and headed south.

After Zhang Miao was informed, he went back and forth in the lobby several times, never being sure whether this was Cao Cao's trick. He has been friends with Cao Cao for many years, knows Cao Cao's personality well, and knows that this former friend likes to cheat. Now pulling out the southern district may not be Cao Agui's plan.

But if Cao Cao is really killed by an arrow, the army's morale will definitely be unstable, this is a godsend! If you don't take advantage of this time to send troops to defeat the enemy army, when will you go? Even if Cao Cao is dead, Xiahoudun and Cao Chun, these famous generals of the Cao army are still there, maybe they will come back to mention Cao Cao for revenge.

There has never been a thief for a thousand days, and there is no thief for a thousand days. If you don't wipe out all the Cao army, you will have to be afraid in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhang Miao couldn't make up his mind, so he could only send scouts again and again to see if Cao's army had really retreated. When Cao Jun withdrew thirty miles, Zhang Miao's heart gradually settled down. After retreating so far, even if there is any trickery, then he is not afraid.

But then, something else in my heart grows like a weed.

Humane Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, and now he is not defeated in the hands of a certain family? It doesn't seem difficult to fight a war with soldiers!

Once a thought is born, it can never be eliminated. Zhang Miao, who had been thinking about it for a long time in the lobby, finally made up his mind, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly to the left and right: "Come on, put on armor for me!" ”
