Chapter 264: Anger
The defense behind the city was not tight, perhaps, these Shu troops did not expect that there would be Cao army from the rear, so when the disguised grain team of the Cao army came to the city gate, the soldiers on the gate did not even ask, and opened the city gate, which made the generals of the Cao army, who had already prepared a set of rhetoric, a little uncomfortable.
Crash~
After the grain cart entered the city gate, it somehow suddenly fell.
"What's going on?" The little colonel, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, looked at the group of people impatiently.
"The grain cart is broken!" The general of the Cao army hurriedly laughed, and at the same time secretly ordered people to play an offensive flag outside the city where the Ai defenders could not see it.
Cao Hong, who was hiding outside the city, saw the signal, didn't say a word, and immediately led his men and horses to kill.
"Not good, enemy attack!" The little colonel's face changed, and he grabbed the general of the Cao army and said, "What are you still stunned about?" Let's go! ”
"But the grain cart ......" The general of the Cao army was already about to draw his sword, but he was pulled by the other party like this, and looked at the other party in a daze.
"At this time, what kind of grain truck do you care, it's too late if you don't leave!" Saying that, the colonel pulled the general of the Cao army with the men and horses and galloped, and the colonel found that the inside of the city gate was a little different from what he imagined, it was a long corridor, and after a group of people entered a door, they closed the door directly, but no one cared about the city gate.
Hit the trick!
The general of Cao Jun was nervous and wanted to remind Cao Hong, but at this moment, there were Shu troops all around, how could he remind him.
"Huh? Why didn't your men keep up? The little colonel who guarded the gate found something at this time and asked with a smile.
"I'll call them!" Hearing this, the general of the Cao army moved, turned around and was about to go out.
"No need, I can only blame them for their bad luck." The little colonel guarding the gate sighed, he had already been instructed by Liu Yi, if there was a sudden attack by the Cao army, he didn't have to worry about the city gate, and retreated directly behind the Yongdao, but he didn't expect the Cao army to be such a thief, and he actually took advantage of the time to send grain and grass to kill it, and patted the general of the Cao army on the shoulder with some regret: "You should be under my command first, and then talk about it after destroying this Cao army, and then see the opportunity to kill a few more Cao soldiers in a while, by the way, what is your name?" ”
"Zhou ...... Zhou Tong. "General Cao's speech is a little unfavorable, what is this called? Do you want to kill a few more Cao Jun yourself?
I was very anxious, but I had no choice but to wait here.
Cao Hong successfully entered the city gate, but did not encounter a decent obstacle, in the long corridor, Cao Hong rushed for a while, and gradually realized that something was wrong, it was too smooth, and there was not even a decent resistance, and who would build a corridor in the city?
Looking at both sides again, he suddenly found that there were enemy troops locking this side on top of the dougong, and his heart sank, and Cao Hong hurriedly stopped his momentum shortly after rushing into Yongdao: "Retreat!" ”
"Boom~" At this moment, a floodgate fell from the sky, blocking everyone's back road.
"Click~" The moment the gate landed, cracks appeared, and the cement gate was obviously not strong enough.
Cao Hong obviously also discovered this, and pointed the big knife in his hand at the gate and shouted: "Boom open the gate!" ”
On the city wall, Liu Yi looked at this scene, and sighed helplessly, even with the blessing of the attributes, there was no way to completely change the nature of the object itself, it was not directly broken into a pile, it was already good, nodding to the generals around him, a broken army crossbow rose at the head of the city, with the sound of the machine bracket moving, ten crossbow arrows roared out, and at the same time, the archers who had already been ambushed on the city wall and the bucket arches on both sides of the road also began to release arrows towards Cao Jun.
Cao Hong's troops did not all rush in, Cao Hong found out that something was wrong, at this moment, there were actually only four or five hundred people around, the troops outside the city, Liu Yi did not care, there was no main general, and he couldn't make any waves, his goal was the leading Cao Hong, and the tragic situation of the three villages being slaughtered made Liu Yi have killing thoughts on Cao Hong.
Don't say anything about the troubled world, human life is like a mustard, in Liu Yi's concept, it is inevitable to fight and kill people, but such a random slaughter of the people makes Liu Yi disgusted, for Xiahou Yuan, Liu Yi will at least maintain due respect, but for Cao Hong, Liu Yi can't respect it.
The crossbow arrows on the head of the city and the dougong, most of them are going to Cao Hong, although Cao Hong is brave, but at the moment in the Yongdao, there is no place to dodge, and after a while, under Liu Yi's target, the whole body is like a hedgehog full of arrows and falls in a pool of blood.
Those Cao Jun who came in with him saw that the main general was killed in battle, and the city gate was blocked again, many people chose to kneel and ask for surrender, Liu Yi frowned, and after thinking about it in his heart, he ordered someone to confiscate these Cao Jun's weapons and armor, and then tied them up and imprisoned.
I can't bear to kill, but I want to release or collect it for my own use, and I can't, Cao Jun went on an expedition, and his family members were generally detained in the rear, and he really collected it for his own use, maybe when these people would be able to defect to the battle, Liu Yi could only take these people into custody first, and then find a way to deal with them after the war.
Even if you can't get it from the army, you can go to the most criminal army and dig ditches to benefit one party, and in these years, there is no time when the population is too large.
Soon, those Cao soldiers were taken into custody.
"Boom~"
The cement gate was also broken by the Cao army outside the city not long after, but inside the corridor, only the corpse of Cao Hong, who was covered with arrows and fell in a pool of blood, was stunned.
The main generals were all dead, and the army's heart was suddenly confused, Liu Yi immediately ordered the arrows to be released, and at the same time ordered the men and horses hiding behind the Yongdao to kill and chase Cao Jun.
The Cao army had a lot of people, but at this moment the army was in turmoil, and a large number of Shu troops suddenly poured out of the surrounding corridors, and for a while they only felt that the other side had many soldiers, and they had no intention of fighting again, so they hurriedly retreated, and were chased by the two hundred soldiers sent by Liu Yi all the way out of more than ten miles, more than two thousand people, and in the end, only a few hundred people escaped with their lives and scattered into the hills around Fangling.
Liu Yi ordered someone to go to Fangling, and sent an order to Fangling to send someone to clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers and horses in the checkpoint could not move.
"Sir, if this Cao Hong's head hangs on the city wall, it may be able to hit the morale of the Cao army!" Meng Da came to Liu Yi's side, looked at Cao Hong's corpse and smiled.
Although people are dead, they still have use value.
Liu Yi didn't have a good impression of Cao Hong, and nodded when he heard this: "General Meng will deal with this matter, and when it runs out, you can send the head to the lord for credit." ”
Counting Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin, who was captured and killed earlier, this is already the third general Cao Jun who died in the hands of Liu Yi, I don't know what Boss Cao's mood will be after he knows?
Liu Yi is actually quite complicated now, it is estimated that after this battle, he will become a figure in Boss Cao's must-kill list, he will have to be more careful in the future, he must not take risks, others are captured, at least there is a chance to be surrendered, if he is caught, I am afraid that there will only be one death.
After thinking about it, Liu Yi looked at Meng Da and said: "In addition, send someone to order the townships in the area of Fangling and Xixian, this group of Cao troops is scattered, although it is not able to impact our army again, but it will poison the people, if you encounter it, you can capture and kill, you can come to the government in exchange for rewards, if you are not defeated, you will mainly protect yourself!" ”
At present, there is really no extra troops and energy to pursue these defeated troops, and they can only rely on the people themselves to protect themselves.
"Whoa!" Meng Da bowed to Liu Yi and ordered someone to carry Cao Hong's body to the city wall, while Liu Yi ordered someone to start cleaning up the road.
After Meng Da took Cao Hong's body, he immediately ordered someone to hang it on the city wall, at first, Cao Jun didn't understand what it meant, but someone recognized Cao Hong's armor and hurriedly informed Cao Ren.
Cao Ren rushed to hear the news, and when he saw Cao Hong's body hanging on the city wall, he felt a hey in front of him, and almost fell to the ground, and the generals beside him hurriedly supported him.
"Thief Ann dares to insult my brother?" After Cao Ren came to his senses, he pointed to the city wall and said murderously: "If I don't kill you today, I will not be a man!" All the soldiers obey the order, attack me! ”
Meng Da has already been prepared, seeing that the Cao army is surging, the city wall has already been prepared, this is also the effect that Meng Da wants, don't look at the fierce offensive of the Cao army, but Cao Ren is angry, and the rules are a lot chaotic.
Siege warfare is sometimes not effective if there are many people, the general charging troops, the troops responsible for the suppression of bows and arrows, and the remote equipment such as catapults in the rear, are all hierarchical, pay attention to the rules, when to attack, when to turn, how the archers in the rear can suppress the opponent to the maximum extent and save their own troops and the strength of the soldiers, these are all exquisite, a swarm of siege state, looking surging, but it is the favorite siege method of the defending generals, there will be a lot of waste here, Many soldiers don't even know what they're going to do, so the general defenders will do everything they can to provoke the besiegers, and as long as the rules are messed up, the pressure on defending the city will be greatly reduced.
But the siege generals are not fools, they naturally understand this truth, and they are rarely easily provoked, even if they are really angry, this chapter can still be stabilized.
But this time, seeing Cao Hong's corpse being hung on the city wall like a humiliation by the enemy, Cao Ren obviously couldn't stabilize it anymore, he just wanted to break through the city as quickly as possible, and crush Na Meng Da's bones and ashes, and cut it with a thousand knives!
In the closed city, Liu Yi returned to the state of salted fish after cleaning up Cao Hong, and commanded the craftsmen to clean up the broken cement gate and replace it with a new design, this time the gate could not fall down all at once, but slowly fell down through the rope, so that it should not be like this time, just falling, and then shattered.
As for Liu Yi, he was lying on his recliner, silently thinking about how long this war would last, the sound of fighting in the direction of the city wall was stronger than ever, Meng Da's goal of using Cao Hong's corpse to provoke Cao Ren was obviously achieved, although this could make Cao Ren lose his mind, but for the soldiers defending the city, the pressure was not small, and he still had to mobilize some more people from Fangling.
