Chapter Eighty-Five: Attacking the Wall
Guandu outside the Cao military village
Yuan Jun, Han Meng and Zhang He and other generals led a large army to attack Cao Zhai.
Han Meng said: "If we capture Cao Zhai today and capture Guandu, Cao's army will be defeated, and we can take advantage of the situation to go down to Xudu, which is a great achievement." ”
Zhang He said cautiously on the side, "Cao Jun is fierce and difficult to attack. ”
Han Meng said: "Think about it, in the previous battle, how about the elite soldiers who were strong, they were not defeated by us, the army was unstoppable, and the generals went to attack the village!" ”
Han Meng ordered Yuan Jun to push a cart to carry sandbags under the stone wall and build a mountain to climb the wall.
Cao Jun shouted: "Not good! Come on, if they get up, they can climb in! Come on! Cao Bing immediately gathered everyone under the wall and shot arrows to hinder them.
Zhang He immediately commanded the archers, "Release the arrow!" Cover them! ”
The archers of the Yuan army shot random arrows to attack the Cao soldiers on the city, and the soldiers carrying earth and sand and stones below slowly piled up under the wall.
Cao Jun Xu Chu saw that the other party was going well, so he wanted to go out to meet the battle, but was immediately blocked, "General, no." Xun Yu stopped him, "The catapult has attacked it!" Cao Jun immediately pushed the cart forward, threw stones out, and the stones bombarded down, and the archers outside the wall were immediately thrown into chaos. On the wall, Cao's army was given the opportunity to attack Yuan's soldiers below.
At this moment, the enemy's Yuan army's earth, stone and sandbags have reached the height of half a city.
Han Meng saw it, "It's not enough, go on!" Han Meng was so anxious at the moment that he couldn't wait to rush by himself.
However, the Cao army above could be safely attacked by arrows, and the enemy's stones kept blasting out, interfering with their own Yuan army archers. Zhang He said: "North, three hundred!" "The archers immediately withdrew from their positions.
After a while, the archers withdrew to the corresponding positions, and another rocks bombarded them, hitting the position of the enemy archers.
Zhang He was very surprised, no one was fast when the catapult moved, unless, the other party calculated his position first and moved first.
Xun Youyan: "Withdraw to the west, about five hundred." ”
Zhang He said: "West, five hundred!" The archers shifted positions again. As soon as he finished transforming and was ready to attack, the falling rocks flew out again.
Zhang He looked up and looked at the weak man, Xun You. As long as that person is there, his side will never be able to cover in time.
Han Meng saw that he had been attacking for a long time, but it had not yet taken effect, and he was already impatient, and the archers could no longer cover it, "Half of the city is tall enough, go up the ladder!" Crossbowmen come forward to take cover! ”
Zhang He saw that Han Meng had already started to move his troops, so he said, "No! It's not enough to attack it. ”
Han Meng said resolutely: "With enough feet, half of the city is on the wall, and the crossbowmen are covering, and the loss of eight hundred soldiers is enough to kill one thousand." After that, you can break the village and kill 10,000 enemies! ”
The soldiers carried the ladder away, and the crossbowmen followed closely behind the ladder bearers, attacking the Cao army above, allowing the soldiers to take the ladder.
"Infantry keep up with shields!"
The soldiers of the Yuan army, holding a shield behind the soldiers who carried the ladder, holding the shield to block the chaotic arrows, the crossbowmen covered, the Cao army fell under the arrows, and the dead and wounded echelon soldiers and crossbowmen were numerous. There were not enough Yuan troops to be numerous, and there were still ladders on the city wall, and Yuan troops began to climb the city.
"Come on! There's an enemy coming up here! ”
Xun You said: "The distance between half the city is much faster." ”
Dengcheng Yuan Jun was furious, and lost many brothers for Dengcheng, "Give me death!" After waiting, start fighting, "This place is on board, come and defend it!" ”
Han Meng laughed, "Go there and help!" Then he looked at Zhang He, "General see no, now above." ”
"Ah......h I saw that when I landed there, Yuan Bing let out a miserable scream and was knocked down the city.
Han Meng looked at it, "What's the situation?" Yuan Bing also looked up together, and saw a fierce man, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's whiskers, and a snake spear in his hand.
Xun Youyan: "Ten thousand enemies are here, who dares to go to the city." ”
Zhang Fei was angry in his heart, "You actually want me to wait to guard this!" Whoever comes, who dies! ”
Cao Cao brought Liu Bei and a few others here. It was difficult to entrust important matters, so they had to order them to defend the walled city.
Yuan's army attacked for a day, but still did not enter the walled city, Han Meng was furious, Zhang He was not in a hurry, you can keep it for one day, but you may not be able to hold it for ten days, one hundred days. Yuan's army then withdrew and returned.
Xun You saw that Yuan's army had retreated, and immediately asked people to transport away the earth, rocks, and sand against the walled city wall.
Within Cao Jun
Guo Jiayan: "Hold on today, everyone is hard, tomorrow the enemy will come again, and it is a different offensive, everyone should be careful." ”
Cao Cao said: "We still need to defend again, at this moment, Yuan Jun will attack again in order to make other plans, and the opportunity for us has not yet arrived." ”
Guo Jia also said: "Our army's west road is a key road crossing, and soon the grain and baggage team will pass through there, don't just remember to sneak attack them, forget your own fate." "Cao Ren and Pan Feng, you two led the army to ambush and cover, I can rest assured that you go."
Shi Yue thought to himself, it's okay, it's not going alone.
Shi Yue led the army to the west with Cao Ren.
Cao Renyan: "Until the battle of Yanzhou that year, I never went out with the general again, although I led the army this time, but the general was deeply planned, and I would like to hear the general's strategy." ”
Don't be like this, big brother of war. You think the kids are playing at home. I want you to command! "I'll wait until I get there before I make plans."
Yuan Junnei
Han Meng and Zhang He failed to attack the city and returned, but everything is within a reasonable range, not today, and they will come back tomorrow. But Han Meng was very anxious.
"The west road is the main road of the Cao army, and there will be a team carrying grain passing through there, and if we can cut off the intersection of the Cao army, we will be able to accelerate the victory of our army." General Han Meng, let you lead the army. ”
When Han Meng heard this, it seemed to be a great opportunity, "The last general will take the order!" ”
Frustrated to know the character of this person, let him go with him to attack the city, I am afraid that he will command indiscriminately, lose too many soldiers in vain, and defend the city This person is easy to underestimate the enemy, but this person is very sharp and suitable for frontal attacks. It's best to let it rob the road.
Yuan Shaoyan: "Now it seems that it is impossible to pile up soil into the city, the enemy army is strictly guarded, and all kinds of countermeasures, and once the army is retreated, the mound will definitely be removed." This is a blow that will be dealt in a day. ”
The judge said: "Lord, I still have a plan, for digging the earth." Our army secretly attacked the tunnel, leading directly to the Cao camp, and the soldiers passed through the road, and it would be difficult for the Cao army to prevent it at that time. ”
Yuan Shao listened to it and asked everyone what they had to say. If no one refutes it, this is the trick.
Shi Yue and Cao Ren led the army to Jiluo Mountain.
Shi Yue drove the red rabbit alone and looked around, looking at the terrain, the mountains here are steep and steep, and there are large jungles. After reading it, he returned to Cao Ren and said to him, "This is the main road that must be passed through the western road, and if the enemy army comes to rob this road, it must pass through this road." There is a forest to the west of the front, where the army can ambush. On the east side is a mountain that can be ambushed. We'll leave that to it. ”
Cao Ren listened, "According to the general's words, if the enemy army comes, it will be defeated!" ”
Shi Yue looked around, and always felt that something was missing. "If Zixiao has any suggestions, you can say a word, I am willing to listen to them."
Cao Ren said lightly: "I have no objection. ”
You have! You must have it, say it! Shi Yue didn't know what his problem was, he just felt that there was a problem, and suddenly Shi Yue had a flash of inspiration, and his strategy had a lot of mistakes.
Shi Yue suddenly said: "Zixiao, I just said that this plan is not available, I will leave here first!" ”
