Chapter 142: Attacking Xuchang (Today's Fifth Shift, Fifth Shift)
200,000 Han troops came to the city of Xuchang, and Liu Xie ordered to camp first without attacking, and held a party in the imperial camp at night to discuss tomorrow's affairs.
Some of the generals said that they wanted to fight, and they also said that they would surround them. Each has its own opinions, and so on.
Among the generals, there are only two female generals, one is Zhao Yun's wife Ma Feng Ma Wenlu, and the other is Wen Yin. And the female general Yan'er needs to recuperate due to poisoning and has been sent back to Luoyang.
Liu Xie asked Wen Yin's opinion, and Wen Yin said: "Xuchang is closer to Luoyang than Wancheng, and if you are fast, you can get there in half a day, so it seems that it is more convenient for the siege of the city, because it will be more convenient to transport grain, grass and weapons." However, the courtiers thought that it was not advisable to surround for a long time, but should be resolved quickly. ”
Liu Xie asked: "Then you can tell me in detail." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty," Wen Yin said, "first, the weather is hot, and second, the soldiers have complained about the long-term war. The courtiers thought that if it was not an expedition, the campaign should not last more than three months. And Xuchang and Luoyang are close at hand, and the horses are coming. The third point is that Cao Cao's soldiers have little food and little food, and they are unjust and helpless, so it is advisable to take it quickly to block the mouth of the world. ”
Liu Xie nodded again and again, in fact, he also wanted to end this battle as soon as possible, he had been away from Luoyang for too long, he was worried about Yan'er, and Wen Yin was also pregnant, he was worried that being away for too long would not be good for Wen Yin's pregnancy, so Wen Yin was also talking about his heart.
Liu Xie asked again: "Then how do Yanyun think to end this battle quickly?" ”
Wen Yin said: "But you can't be too impatient, this Cao Cao's generation of traitors has forced him to be anxious, he can do anything, and the courtiers are worried that he will send the people to fight in front." ”
Liu Xie nodded and said, "There is such a possibility." In fact, I have already figured out how to deal with Cao Cao. I have ordered Luoyang Bookstore to print a large number of propaganda materials, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the front line tomorrow morning, and all these materials will be shot into the city with arrows tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will make an appointment! ”
Liu Xie also said: "Moreover, I have customized a large number of large-scale equipment with the Manufacturing Division, and we should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon." ”
All the generals were curious about the large equipment that was about to arrive, and Liu Xie just smiled and said, "Don't ask, you will know when the time comes." ”
The plan was set, and the generals discussed it again, and the two-hour party was over, and they all dispersed, leaving only the female general Wen Yin.
Liu Xie glanced at Wen Yin and said, "Yanyun, I have been restless these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to thank you at night." ”
Wen Yin smiled and said: "It's okay, Your Majesty's body is also important." Do you still want the concubine to serve His Majesty to sleep? ”
Liu Xie said: "Although I can't be lucky, it's still okay to sleep together." Xiao Luozi, prepare hot water. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Liu Xie and Wen Yin bathed, they hugged each other and fell asleep. Before going to bed, Wen Yin snuggled in Liu Xie's arms and said, "Sister Yan'er is so pitiful, if she knew that her child was gone, how sad she would be." ”
Liu Xie said: "After returning to Luoyang, you must not talk to her." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine will not say it. Your Majesty, that Xiahou Ling, she deserves to die, and the concubine really wants to kill her with one knife to avenge her sister! Why did you let her go? ”
Liu Xie sighed: "Actually, Xiahou Ling is also a hard-working person, she has no father or mother since she was a child, and she was trained by Cao Cao to be a cold-blooded killer. ”
"It's an unforgivable crime, that day in Wancheng, if Wen Lu hadn't stopped me, I would have gone up and stabbed her."
"You," Liu Xie said with a smile as he put his arm around her.
In fact, how could Wen Yin understand that Liu Xie couldn't wait to kill her, but the little dictionary told him that Xiahou Ling was a red face and couldn't be killed. Liu Xie was angry, seeing that the enemy wanted to kill but couldn't, he held back his anger and slapped her a lot in the mouth, and finally chose to let her go, and wrote the words "Liu Xie is a faint king" on the back of her clothes, wanting her to understand the weight of him Liu Xie among the people.
thought that this Xiahou Ling would change her mind and surrender to the court, but who knew that she still insisted on returning to Xuchang, so he didn't ask any more.
"That person is just angry," Wen Yin said coquettishly.
"Okay, the next time you see her, kill her, okay, my good sister."
"Well, I'm going to kill her with my own hands to avenge Your Majesty and Yan'er!"
The long night passed, and early the next morning, dozens of truckloads of newspapers and propaganda materials were transported from Luoyang, and Liu Xie asked the soldiers to immediately begin to tie these materials to arrows and shoot them into the city of Xuchang.
In Xuchang City, Cao Jun rushed out of the city many times to fight, but they were all shot back by Liu Xie's order. Dozens of truckloads of propaganda materials kept shooting, and it took a whole day to shoot them out, and the streets in Xuchang City were full of paper.
In the afternoon, the mysterious equipment that Liu Xie said fainted, and it was also loaded with dozens of cars, all loaded with wooden planks and iron bars and other things, and hundreds of craftsmen came with the items, and they began to assemble them in front of the battle.
After assembling, it was found that it was originally a large well fence, and there were more than 30 in total, which was rebuilt by Liu Xie on the basis of the Mojia well fence.
Liu Xie asked the craftsmen to assemble it overnight, and it must be all assembled before dawn tomorrow.
Ten minutes after nightfall, Liu Xie asked the soldiers to shoot the war book into the city, and agreed to fight a decisive battle tomorrow.
All the officers and men of the Han army are gearing up and preparing for tomorrow's battle.
At dawn the next day, I saw that in front of the Han army, more than 30 large well rails had been successfully formed, standing and majestic in front of the array.
All the soldiers had eaten their meals early, and Liu Xie commanded in front of the battle, and issued an order: "Prepare for the fire meteor, aim at the city gate and city wall, and launch!" ”
At the sound of an order, hundreds of fire meteor bombs flew towards the city wall of Xuchang, and immediately there was a non-stop explosion sound, and the city wall of four or five miles was all blown down, and Xuchang had no city defense.
Liu Xie issued the second order: "The sunset crossbow stops shooting!" "All the soldiers around the well fence, lined up, slowly advanced, from the city wall ** into the city!
The Han army is 200,000, stretching is established, the wolf smoke is billowing, it is very spectacular, Xuchang City, Liu Xie is bound to win!
Sure enough, as Wen Yin expected, Cao Cao drove a large number of people in front, and Cao's army was behind, pushing towards the front of the Han army.
Liu Xie ordered the archers on the well railing, but when he saw Cao Jun, he shot arrows at them, and they were not allowed to shoot the people. The infantry and cavalry, and all the people that they saw were let go.
The well fence is more than ten meters high, see far, shoot far, Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Association to use this trick at all, and Liu Xie also asked the soldiers to shout on the well fence, so that the people can come quickly, so as not to be injured by mistake.
At the same time, he also ordered the Sunset crossbow troops to shoot the flaming arrows into Cao's army.
Because the soldiers on the well railing can see far away, they can direct the direction and distance of the fire arrows, and the fire arrows have gunpowder and iron pellets on them, which are very lethal.
This trick worked very well, and Cao Cao's plan to drive away the people was basically in vain.
The Han army easily rushed into the city, looking for Cao Jun to fight, and a large number of Cao troops surrendered.
Seeing that Cao Cao has gone away.
