Chapter 722: Anticlimactic
After a round of crossbow arrows was fired, dozens of stone-throwing soldiers were shot.
One by one, the soldiers fell to the ground, their bodies dripping with crimson blood, and the soldiers who had been shot by an arrow were motionless and breathless; The soldiers who were not shot screamed loudly and with hideous expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, Cao Cao ordered: "Continue to throw the boulder and start attacking!" ”
Suddenly, the catapult creaked and continued to throw boulders at the tower of Hangu Guancheng.
At the same time, the soldiers of Cao Ying also rushed forward quickly.
When the army rushed to the bottom of the castle tower, the stones fired by the catapult gradually decreased, and from the beginning of the large-scale random launch, to the precise targeting of the castle tower. Because the army is attacking the city, if the soldiers are attacking the city, it is easy to smash their own soldiers, so it must be accurate to contain the soldiers defending on the city tower and ensure that Cao Cao's soldiers can quickly climb the city tower and occupy a favorable position.
"Kill! Kill! ……”
Outside Hangu Pass, there was a shout of killing, and soldiers rushed quickly towards the city tower.
"Bang! Bang! ”
The soldiers carried the ladder, slammed it on the tower, and began to climb up.
Soldiers kept climbing up like apes, these soldiers were experienced, light and nimble on the ladder, dodging left and right, calmly dodging the stones thrown from the city tower, and rushing up quickly.
At this time, regardless of whether there were catapults throwing stones outside the city, Zhao Yun could not let the soldiers continue to dodge.
As long as an enemy army climbs up, it must meet the enemy.
Zhao Yun took the lead, running back and forth on the city tower, allowing the soldiers to resist Cao Cao's army.
At this time, Yan Yan also rushed out, he carried a big knife, while killing the enemy, he encouraged the soldiers, and asked the soldiers in charge of defense on the city tower to fight to kill the enemy.
"Liu Wazi, give Lao Tzu some spirit, look at your weak appearance, did you fucking visit the Qinglou yesterday? Hurry up and throw stones at Lao Tzu, smash them hard, and smash them to death for Lao Tzu. ”
"Wang Wu, you laugh, what are you laughing at, don't give Lao Tzu a hard time."
"Li Jun, hold the knife tightly and slash hard, if you are killed, it will be uncomfortable for Lao Tzu to let you die."
……
Yan Yan kept talking foul words when he shouted, if the reader listened to it, he would definitely disdain it, but after listening to it, these veterans felt very kind in their hearts, and a warm current rose in their hearts.
The Cao army attacked the city, and the soldiers on the city tower must have been a little nervous in their hearts.
However, when they were scolded by Yan Yan like this, the tension in their hearts disappeared, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Xun You and Guo Jia did not go to the battlefield in person, the two stood in the innermost, surrounded by soldiers to protect them. Xun You smiled and said: "Fengxiao, you turned Yan Yan from Chengdu, it's really a wonderful move." Although Yan Yan is not as good as Zilong in attacking the city, he has a very good set of defending the city, which is admirable! ”
Guo Jia said loudly: "Of course, Yan Yan was personally selected by me." ”
He was triumphant, and there was a hint of triumph in his eyes.
Having Yan Yan leading the troops to guard the Hangu Pass is indeed a big help, Zhao Yun is a wise general, but he does not have Yan Yan's gangsterism, and he will not be like Yan Yan and burst into foul language.
Although Zhao Yun and the soldiers also got along well, each general had his own style. Zhao Yun is strict with himself and strict with his soldiers, although Zhao Yun loves soldiers like sons, he can't be as strict as Yanyan. Moreover, the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command admired and feared Zhao Yun, but they lacked a bridge of communication.
Yan Yan does not have as much prestige as Zhao Yun, but he also has his own unique way of training.
The so-called all roads lead to Rome, and the way of training soldiers is different, but as long as you can train elite soldiers, it is enough.
At this time, there was a shout of killing on the city tower, and one by one the Cao Ying soldiers climbed up the city tower, brandished the big knife in their hands and began to fight. The Wolf Tooth Battalion led by Huang Xu also began to join the battle, each of them was equipped with a Han sword, and one by one the soldiers brandished the Han knife and killed the Cao Battalion soldiers who rushed up.
The battle intensified, and more and more enemy troops rushed upstairs.
Seeing this, Xun You immediately ordered the soldiers beside him: "Pass the order, let the soldiers who break the barracks rush and kill!" ”
"No!"
The soldier replied with a fist clenched, and immediately prepared to deliver the order. Just as the soldier turned around to leave, Guo Jia stretched out his hand to stop him, shook his head and said, "Slow! ”
Xun You looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, with a puzzled look on his face.
Guo Jia said: "Gongda, look at Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, Yan Yan and Pei Yuanshao, these four people are located in the four positions of the city tower, and with four people rushing to kill, they can already block the offensive of Cao Cao's army. As long as the situation can be stabilized, the broken military camp cannot be allowed to rush and kill. They are cavalry, they should not be used to defend the city, and the broken military camp was personally trained by Zhao Yun, and if one dies, it will take energy to train, so let's wait, if it really can't be held, let the broken military camp be reinforced. ”
Xun You thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's up to your opinion." ”
After speaking, Xun You waved his hand and asked the soldier to retreat.
Xun You and Guo Jia, as bystanders, calmly observed the changes in the situation and worked out coping strategies.
The two of them were able to hold their breath, and Yan Yan and the others also calmly commanded the soldiers to resist. Although Huang Xu is young, Huang Xu's martial arts are no less than Pei Yuanshao and other generals, and he can completely stand alone. He stood on the mountain like a big rock, no matter how many soldiers rushed up, he couldn't shake Huang Xu.
Huang Xu carried a big knife and slashed tirelessly.
Where the big knife passed, a puddle of blood splattered, and a scream sounded.
A corpse was lying beside Huang Xu, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling, as if he had become numb, but a pair of clear and translucent eyes were awe-inspiring with murderous intent, which made people shudder.
This is a kind of momentum, when a military general has experienced countless battles on the battlefield, there can be a killing atmosphere, which is daunting. Huang Xu, Zhao Yun and others have been guarding Hangu Pass, and they have encountered countless battles, and the repeated battles have changed Huang Xu's temperament.
There is a way to move qi and nourish the body, and a person's temperament has a great relationship with what he does.
Wang Can is Yizhou Mu, Zhennan General, Shu Marquis, prominent official position, dominating one side, he has been in a high position for a long time, and over time he has developed a kind of prestige, and there will be a kind of nobility in his gestures. Huang Xu is different, he kills repeatedly, and there are more people killed, so he naturally has a murderous aura.
It sounds mysterious, but it's real.
Cao Cao sent soldiers to attack in waves, but he was never able to shake Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Huang Zhong and Pei Yuanshao, and could not make a breakthrough. Cao Cao rode a horse and stood outside the city tower, with a solemn expression on his face.
Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and said: "Lord, the last general will fight!" ”
Xu Chu also clenched his fists and said: "Lord, the last general will fight!" ”
Not only Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu, but even Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Cao Hong also asked for battle, and even Xiahou Yuan, who only had one arm left, also took the initiative to ask for battle. The soldiers were attacking the city, but they stayed in the rear of the army, unable to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and at this time a strong general was needed as an example, and the leader of the army could be killed to boost morale.
Seeing this, Cao Cao sighed: "It is difficult to pass Kehan Valley, and it is even more difficult to defeat Wang Can!" ”
When he said this, the crowd was like in a cloud, and they did not know why.
However, Cao Cao's next sentence surprised everyone.
Cao Cao looked lonely, and said in a deep voice: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”
After speaking, Cao Cao rode his horse and turned away. His back was lonely, revealing infinite helplessness, if Yuan Shao hadn't withdrawn to Jizhou, he wouldn't have been so anticlimactic! Without Yuan Shao to contain Wang Can's army, the forces stationed at Hangu Pass would be even stronger, and even if Cao Cao could capture Guanzhong, would he be able to capture Yizhou?
All this made Cao Cao feel helpless.
Ps; The fourth watch was completed, and the rest was over.
