Chapter 250: We Are Not Afraid
Attacked for a while...
The Titan Python destroyed a large number of equipment on the castle tower, but at the same time, it was also doused with fire oil by two soldiers hiding in the corner. The Titan Python was very familiar with this smell, and knew that it was almost gone, so it left the castle tower in a puff of smoke.
Chun Yuqiong sent a team of soldiers to shoot arrows, but they didn't hit him.
The arrows could only reach the bank of the moat, and one of the Titan Pythons fled quickly, directly three hundred meters away. They are all out of range of all enemies and weapons.
"Are you all pigs?! Why not prepare the rocket in advance? Seeing the python fleeing, Chun Yuqiong was furious.
"General, you made us splash it."
"yes, you didn't let us prepare the rocket in advance..." The two soldiers who were in charge of pouring oil were still alive, standing in front of Chun Yuqiong with an aggrieved look.
"You two... I'm so angry that I went to the military academy to get fifty boards! Chun Yuqiong shouted.
"No."
The two soldiers fled and left.
..............
At this point, there is no need to fight any more, because the Titan Python has been withdrawn, and the enemy's reinforcements are strengthening the city defenses. If the siege continues, it will be very unfavorable to Yuan Xi.
Gao Ran ordered to suspend the siege.
All the troops retreated to the large camp five miles away.
Yuan Xi rode towards the city tower for a while, and shouted, "Where is General Chunyu?" Please come out and answer! ”
"Who's calling me?" Chun Yuqiong vaguely heard someone calling him, and walked out of the Tibetan Soldier Cave with Zheng Yun and Long Yunzhi. I saw Yuan Xi standing on the east bank of the moat, looking at them.
"It turned out to be the second son." Chun Yuqiong arched his hand slightly: "I don't know what the second son has to do?" ”
"General Chunyu, you should know that Yuan Shang can't fight me, you return to Shun as soon as possible and sacrifice the pot pass, I am not to blame in the past. If you resist, life and death are instantaneous. Yuan Xi shouted.
"You want me to surrender? Hahaha.... ”
Chun Yuqiong laughed a few times, but his laughter was really a little forced.
Yuan Xi shouted: "You think about it." Tomorrow at noon, I will come again to attack the city, and I will be answered when the time comes. ”
After saying this, Yuan Xi turned around and left.
Chun Yuqiong hesitated in her heart, but she still shouted stubbornly: "General Ben will not surrender, and I will not surrender to the soldiers." Yuan Xi, if you want the pot off, come and get it! ”
....................
The army returned to the camp.
Yuan Xi received the news from Liyang.
Cao Cao had already prepared his warships and personally led 130,000 troops to cross the Yellow River. Small forces have been sent several times to carry out exploratory attacks on Liyang, but they have not succeeded.
"Lord, there will be a word in the end, I don't know whether to say it or not?" He opened his jaw a little closer.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Don't forget, my lord, General Yu Ban..... But he was Cao Cao's general, would he... Zhang Jaw didn't continue. But he believed that Yuan Xi would definitely be able to understand.
"Don't talk about that anymore." Yuan Xi glanced out of the tent and replied: "Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Li Dian have made many military exploits since they surrendered. Although I was Cao Cao's general, I believe in them and will not sentence me. ”
"But I'm afraid of what happens..." Zhang Jaw said: "Liyang is the main road in and out of Jizhou, if Liyang is lost, the door of Jizhou will be opened, and the troops of Cao Cao and Yuan Tan will continue to come in." Then our plan to attack and annex the state will have to be terminated. ”
"You're quite right. However, before the war began, I casually doubted my generals, and if I let them know, or even change generals on the spot, it would chill them. Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this question again, I believe them!" ”
"Yes."
He replied with his jaw open.
"Yu Ban sent news that Cao Cao's army could attack Liyang at any time. And the navy in the upper reaches of the Luo River also has a tendency to go straight down the river, what do you think? Yuan Xi changed the subject.
"The lord is stationed in Liyang with 15,000 cavalry, and there are 15,000 sailor warships, as long as it is forbidden..... Dawn will not be lost! Zhang Jaw said.
"I hope so."
Yuan Xi wasn't too worried, but Cao Cao's ferocity made him hesitate a little.
.......................
Rest for the night and recuperate.
In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers of the whole battalion buried the pot and cooked rice.
Yuan Xi also went to the back camp to deliver some food to the giant beasts. As the number of behemoths increases, so does the amount of food that needs to be consumed. Now I need 500 catties of fresh meat every day, and a large number of bamboo leaves, leaves, etc.
Although there is a special person in charge of this matter, Yuan Xi still likes to deliver it in person.
"It's up to you today..."
Yuan Xi threw the food in front of them and said, "There is no fire oil in the Huguan. It's just some tickling instruments, and it won't hurt you. So don't be afraid. ”
"We're not afraid..." The elephant boss raised his long nose and said.
Behind it, there were twelve mammoths, all as big as it. But the elephant boss is the elephant boss, and he is currently their leader.
"It's good that you're not afraid, I'm just reminding you, show your majesty, don't let the enemy look down on you..." At this point in Yuan Xi's words, the second and third elephants walked over, raised their noses and squirted a mouthful of water at Yuan Xi: "Poof..." ”
Yuan Xi was caught off guard and was sprayed in the face.
"You two unlucky people, spray me with water in your nose..." Yuan Xi rushed forward and kicked them hard. However, the mammoth's body is full of iron armor, and the skin is thick, and even a strong crossbow can't hurt them, so how can you kick and hurt them.
On the contrary, Yuan Xi's kick hurt a little.
Puff...
They don't feel pain and are more mischievous.
Continuously squirting at Yuan Xi's face.
"Stop, stop..." Yuan Xi took two steps back and said, "I won't talk to you, wait for the next battle, and see your performance." If you do well, I have a big reward. If you don't behave well, hum. ”
What does this mean?
The Behemoth Gates looked at each other.
The Titan Python was most afraid of going to a cold place, and understood this as a threat to Yuan Xi.
Mammoths are the most afraid of heat.
The ancient monitor lizard and the Tyrannosaurus rex seemed to have nothing to fear, and their faces were terrified.
Yuan Xi had already gone far away to prepare for the expedition. There is not much speculation about the thoughts of the behemoths.
After breakfast.
Yuan Xi, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Wen Chou, and Li Dian led 50,000 elites to Huguan. The army that went there included the vanguard battalion of Zhang Jaw, Li Dian's wolf cavalry, Wen Chou's 2,000 guards, and 10,000 siege infantry and 30,000 spearmen under Gao Lan's command.
Such a ratio of forces was to prevent the enemy from appearing with a large number of cavalry, causing huge losses to the troops entering the city. And the pikemen, lined up, were able to restrain the average light horseman. Of course, Yuan Shang didn't have much cavalry. This is very unlikely.
