Chapter 37: Death Match (1)
"Obedient, give me back!"
Perhaps it was really because of her personality, Miss Guo Cui heard the news that Lu Bu led the army to attack at night, not only was she not afraid, but shouted to watch the battle at the head of the city.
Just kidding, is it time to let her lose her temper? You must know that there are no eyes on the battlefield, in case she has any accidents, how can she explain to Guo Jia?
"I'm not going back, Dongjun City has been guarded for so many days, hasn't it been lost so far? It can be seen that although the number of Nalu Bu's army is large, its combat strength must be very poor. "Guo Cui didn't give an inch, and insisted on watching the battle at the head of the city." I haven't seen any war scenes yet, so I must take a good look at it this time, and when my eldest brother comes back, I can brag about it in front of her! β
OMG! It seems that this little girl really thinks that defending the city is an easy task, and she doesn't see how many soldiers have paid the price of their lives for this, and she even naively puts the credit that the city has not fallen on the "weak" part of the enemy's army. Or is it that he is so bad in the eyes of the other party, and he must have taken advantage of the enemy's weak strength to be able to defend until now?
The little girl even said something to boast in front of Guo Jia, if your eldest brother knew that I asked you to stay above the city when Lu Bu's army was attacking the city, he might use a sword to chop me. Besides, what kind of character is your eldest brother, the military advisor appointed by Cao Cao sacrificed wine, although he didn't need to charge into battle in person, but he definitely saw a lot of battles with Cao Gong, and what do you need to brag about to him? It's a joke!
"Wang San, take Miss Guo down and take care of it strictly!" But Gao Shun was not interested in arguing with Guo Cui now, and directly ordered a pro-soldier beside him.
"Gao Shun, how dare you treat me! Let go, I'm not leaving! β
"Zhang Gui, go and order the archers to prepare! Bai Ying, lead a hundred people to move the wood! Ni Shen, quickly take someone to bring up the boiling oil that has just been prepared! At this time, Gao Shun could no longer care about Guo Cui's wayward shouting, but concentrated on arranging the city defense. Anyway, the order to let the soldiers take Guo Cui away has been issued, so it is impossible for this girl to continue to stay on the city tower.
Since hearing the news of the enemy attack, Gao Shun's momentum has changed dramatically. At this moment, his whole person exuded an aura of resoluteness and decisiveness, which made Guo Cui stunned.
"Thisβis this guy the big rascal?" Perhaps because he couldn't accept such a huge change in Gao Shun's body, or maybe it was for other reasons, Guo Cui looked at the general who was constantly giving instructions to the soldiers around him in a daze, and muttered in his mouth.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Although the torches were lit, it was still a little unrealistic in the dark night. However, there is no doubt that at this time, under the city of Dongjun, there is a wild current rushing towards the direction of the city wall.
Gao Shun was on top of the city tower, looking at the wild current under the city, and he couldn't help but gasp. Lu Bu is working harder than last night. In the fierce battle for several days, although LΓΌ Bu's army also suffered a lot of losses, there were still about 22,000 combatable soldiers in his army. And tonight, Lu Bu invested a one-time siege of troops, and based on his visual inspection in the dark night, Gao Shun could determine that it was no less than 20,000.
Gao Shun stood at the head of Dongjun City, his expression was very serious. Although there has always been a gap in the number of defenders in the city and Lu Bu's army, in the past, when Lu Bu's army attacked the city, it was always divided into several teams, and batches of places took turns to attack, and there was never a time when the whole army poured out in one fell swoop like tonight. Now there were less than 3,000 defenders in the city, and more than 20,000 enemy troops.
"Quick! Invite General Xiahou over! "The current situation is obviously not something that I can handle alone. Lu Bu had completely lost his patience and decided to make a desperate bet tonight.
However, in other words, as long as it can survive tonight, no, as long as it can survive this wave of offensives, LΓΌ Bu's army will no longer have the strength to attack the city, at least for a short time.
But can it really go so well? This is undoubtedly a big gamble, whether it is for Lu Bujun or Cao Jun. The offensive and defensive battles in the eastern county have been going on for a long time, and the walls are no longer as strong as before. Lu Bu poured all his strength into Kedong County at this time. gram, then Yanzhou; If you don't do it, you will lose all your efforts.
Xiahoudun hurriedly came to the city tower and led his troops to the city, looking at the wild current surging under the city in the dark night, and his heart kept beating drums.
"Lu Bu, is that guy crazy?" Xiahoudun scolded indignantly.
"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but if he does decide to attack the city, I'm afraid we'll be crazy." Gao Shun could only respond to Xiahoudun's words with a wry smile.
"Advance - Attack ββ!" Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd and pointed to the Dongjun city wall in front of him. Under the light of the torches around him, his face looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
Generally speaking, few generals choose to attack the city head-on at night. Because of the extremely poor line of sight, the difficulty and danger of attacking a city at night are several times higher than that of a siege during the day, so you can't expect soldiers to hold torches in one hand and climb ladders with one hand, right? And although the defenders of the city can't really see it, even if they just close their eyes and shoot their bows indiscriminately under the city, there will always be a few arrows that can be stuck in the enemy's body.
However, LΓΌ Bu had no choice, and he received a report yesterday that Cao Cao's army had entered Yanzhou and recovered several cities. It is estimated by the speed of its march. I'm afraid I'll be able to reach Puyang City tomorrow. If you can't take Dongjun tonight, you will have to consider leading your army to withdraw into Puyang. Otherwise, once Puyang is lost, and he is alone in the wilderness, then Cao Cao's army and the defenders of Dongjun will be in a corner attack, and the whole army will really die without a place to be buried.
Countless ladders were erected on the walls of Dongjun, and LΓΌ Bu's army began a difficult siege battle. And the Cao army in the city also did not dare to relax in the slightest, and the wooden rolling stones were thrown off the city wall one after another.
Although after several days of defensive battles, the number of sassal wood rolling stones was consumed, but fortunately, Gao Shun had made sufficient preparations in advance, so the savings in the city were still enough.
But even after repelling groups of soldiers, Lu Bu's army continued to storm the walls of Dongjun City desperately.
"The first to ascend the city will be promoted to the fifth level, given twenty gold, and crowned the marquis!" Lu Bu roared as loudly as he could.
"The first to ascend the city will be promoted to the fifth level, given twenty gold, and crowned the marquis!" The soldiers around Lu Bu also shouted and screamed hard.
The shouts drifted through the night sky, spreading Lu Bu's orders throughout the army. Inspired by such a generous reward, the three armed forces were greatly excited! There were even some soldiers who rushed to the front, their eyes shining with incomparably hot light.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
