Chapter 97: The Battle of Jiangxia (3)

The rebel guard is a thirty-year-old, black and strong Shanyue sect commander.

Looking at Cao Ying's Dawan horse, as well as the grassland horse of his personal guard, he showed a greedy "color", and when he was sure that the distance of the opponent's army was enough to react, the guard general nodded to the first brave general beside him.

I saw that the gate of Shaxian West City was opened, and a rebel general riding a pack horse and holding a spear killed Cao Ying, only to say: "Jiangxia Wantie is here, and the enemy will be killed!" ”

was slashed by Cao Ying, who came on a horse, and his head flew away with a sword.

The guards stepped forward to put away the head of the so-called first brave general, and then collected the inferior leather armor, clothes, pikes, pack horses and other trophies on his body.

Cao Ying spat at the judge who was clean and clean, and only a headless corpse remained, and then shouted: "Who else will fight!" ”

Seeing that his brave general died in just one round, the defender was so frightened that he dared to fight, and hung the battle exemption card on the city wall.

Cao Ying's personal guards shouted insults under the city, Cai Yang saw that the morale of the rebels was frustrated, and with a wave of the handsome flag, three thousand white flag soldiers held a long ladder and carried siege wood made of logs, and attacked the city.

The guards shouted again and again in Shanyue, and the rebels were mobilized, raising the captured foot bow in their hands mixed with the Orion soft bow, and the "shooting" that was not organized in a unified way was directed at the Cao army.

"Dodo~"

The sound of feathered arrows hitting the shield was endless, and from time to time the arrows of the white flag fell.

"Archers fight back!" Cai Yang ordered loudly.

The 3,000 people of the Zhengbai Banner were all "colorful" archers, and I saw half of them raising their shields to cover, half of them took off their bows and arrows, and there were also 1,000 archers out of the main army.

"Zhang!"

Wang Zhong took over the position of commander of the archers, raised his right hand, and commanded.

Two thousand five hundred soldiers leaned upwards and drew their bows at the same time.

"'Shoot'!" The hand flung down hard, 2,500 arrows rained down, and they "shot" at the head of the city, facing a large number of rebels with arrows, sharp feather arrows, pierced into the body of the rebels without armor and armor, and some of the rebels were hit by arrows and fell directly from the city wall, and suddenly died with a whimper.

At the head of the western city, a thousand rebels were suppressed to death by an orderly, concentrated and continuous rain of arrows.

When the bannermen attacked the city and began to build ladders, in order to prevent accidental injuries, the archers changed to free direct shooting, and the rebels had a chance to counterattack.

"Hey~"

The bannermen shouted trumpets, carried siege beams, ran as fast as they could, and crashed into the city gates, which creaked and creaked.

Without the covering "shooting" attack from the back, and the banner soldiers had attacked the city, the Shanyue rebels leaned out and smashed the boulders and skulls down with all their might.

The shields of the siege bannermen were directly shattered, and the number of casualties and seriously wounded increased significantly.

More people died than when everyone had a shield during the siege and the archers shot on their backs.

The main general Cao Ying looked at the city wall, but he did not take it in one fell swoop because he killed the general, scolded secretly, and held a fine iron round shield, and was about to play in person.

"Bell~Bell~"

Cai Yang sounded the sound of the retreat, and the unwilling Cao Ying could only order a retreat, and deliberately let the retreating flag soldiers break the "chaos" formation, making a look of being deserted and fleeing.

The rebel defender, who was frightened, refused the general's request to pursue, so he was not fooled.

The Chinese army, seeing the white flag carrying the wounded and carrying the corpses back, Cai Yang stepped forward to explain: "General Cao, the rebels are firmly defending, and the casualties of the siege flag soldiers are too large, so ......"

"Cai Duwei is the main general, and he is willing to listen to all arrangements, no need to explain!" Cao Ying nodded expressionlessly, looked at the corpse of the martyr of the White Flag, and the seriously wounded who were carrying it back, and said lightly: "Thirty-seven people were killed, twenty-one people were seriously injured, and the lightly injured ones are counted separately, and it is estimated that the casualties of the rebels will be reduced by more than 100 people." ”

Looking at this cold and more terrifying Cao Ying, Cai Yang barely squeezed out a few smiles: "Very good, in an attack, the enemy sacrifices on the defense are even greater, and half of the troops have been reduced, and taking Sha Xian is just around the corner." ”

"No! It's nothing, I'm back on the white flag! Cao Ying replied mechanically, Cai Yang just nodded, and he turned around and left.

Before the second siege was launched, Cao "Xing" led 30,000 main forces to the city.

Cai Yang and Cao Ying stepped forward to greet them, and after listening to each other's reports, Cao 'sex' was a little painful for the fifty-eight people who had been reduced, although the Eight Banners were cannon fodder in their minds, and the ones with the white flags were the cannon fodder among the cannon fodder who took the lead in the charge.

But in the face of a cold corpse under his command, Cao "sex" still couldn't bear it.

Coupled with the Caiyang vanguard, the 40,000-strong army surrounded Shaxian City on three sides, and the small county town of Shaxian, which was only five miles in circumference, could not be placed.

Cao Xing looked at the Shanyue rebels on the city wall trembling with fright, and still stubbornly standing at the head of the city, knowing that most of them were strong, and the strong attack of the garrison troops who could only fight with the wind would inevitably cause great casualties, and once the casualties were in a certain proportion, the entire Cao army, which was dominated by a rabble, might panic or even mutiny, which would be inconsistent with his own vital interests.

"Gongyan, Shuliang, Zichu, what is the best plan?" Cao asked Jiang Wan and the others next to him.

At the beginning, Jiang Wan had been recommended by Cao "Xing" as filial piety, and was appointed to join the army and awarded the rank of military commander.

Liu Xian, who loves to make friends with talents, and Liu Ba, who is arrogant and talented, have friends who have been selected one after another, and the clan has heard of the rebellion of the Xiliangqiang tribe, and now Zhao Ci is rebelling as agreed, and three things have happened in a row, so that the two of them came to Cao "sex" under the tent, but they did not accept the position arranged by Cao "sex", which is equivalent to a guest.

Among all kinds of battles, the siege is undoubtedly one of the most difficult, and Cao's "sex" is unwilling to sacrifice the "life" of the soldiers, which makes Jiang Wan a little embarrassed, and he is still thinking about strategies.

"When the army marches and fights, casualties are inevitable, Cao is so timid, he will only make 60,000 people, and he can't capture a small city garrisoned by 2,000 people, this joke!" Liu Ba was arrogantly sarcastic, insisted on pushing the past, and attacked Sha Xian.

Kong Rong became famous at a young age, and finally developed an arrogant and arrogant "sex", and finally buried himself.

Liu Ba also became famous at a young age, although he was only famous in the surrounding counties, he also developed an arrogant "sex", and because of this "sex", Liu Bei once said to Zhuge Liang that once there is a suitable person, Liu Ba will be replaced, and he is unwilling to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and he almost ended up under house arrest that he was not allowed to go and was not reused.

Cao "sex" did not politely puncture his little Jiujiu, and planned to polish his arrogance: "Zichu saved his father's heart, it is really a filial son, next time you will be filial piety." ”

Liu Ba, who had a father who was a county magistrate in Xiling, was trapped in the city, blushing, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, for fear of offending himself, and missing out on the most powerful support army.

Cao "Xing" smiled inwardly and looked at Liu Xian.
