Chapter 124: Fish-Eyed Confusion
5,000 on each side, raise a shield and carry a ladder, and attack Fancheng together.
The officers and troops came from the south, Chen Ying, as the main general, took the initiative to take up the big responsibility, with the trilogy, guarding the first south gate, and Guo Shi, as the deputy general, guarded the second east gate with his trophies.
The north gate, which is theoretically the easiest to defend, was arranged by Chen Ying very carefully, and was guarded by 10,000 young and strong Shanyue generals.
The official army attacked the city, and the rebel generals who defended on three sides first shot with bows and arrows from a distance, and then smashed down with wood and rolling stones, and defended in an orderly manner.
The officers and soldiers who were mainly stationed soldiers were weak in combat strength, and some of them had just arrived at the foot of the city, and a few sassages went down, killing and wounding several officers and soldiers, and the officers and generals of the commander immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops as if they were frightened.
was repulsed again and again, and it seemed that the rebels were at ease, and there was no tension among the rebels.
This kind of painless Gongcheng lasted all day, the casualties on both sides were not large, but they were tired enough, fortunately, the perimeter of Fancheng was limited, and it was the limit to put down 30,000 troops to fight in the city, which made the defenders divide the young rebels into two waves and take turns to rest.
At night, Cao "Xing" also used fatigue tactics, launching a total of more than 20 night attacks, less than five hours of darkness, an average of four or five times per hour, and the interval between each night attacks was not fixed.
The rebels had dark circles under their eyes one by one, but the officers and soldiers looked as usual, attacking the city for a day and a night, 200,000 officers and soldiers, but after two turns, from departure to retreat, there was not even an hour.
At dawn, it was just dawning, and there was a slight fog that reduced visibility to about 500 paces.
The official battalion of the crusading rebels, wearing ordinary battle clothes and carrying a strong bow, stood in the main position in front of Zhu Wenwu, Zuo Feng and Jian Shuo sat in the forefront, on a par with Cao Xing.
The martial arts under the hall were separated as usual, and what was extraordinary was that Ma Zhong, who was as top-notch as archery, and Bao Long and Qin Qi, who were first-class in archery, all three of them wore ordinary soldier robes.
Cao "sex" and Ma Baoqin, although they wear soldier robes on the outside, they are wearing iron armor inside, like Cao "sex", fish scale armor, chain mail, silk cloth armor, there are a lot.
"Mr. Huang Long is a daughter, why should he go into battle in person?" Zhao Zhi, who led the army from Guiyang County, persuaded.
Regardless of whether the other party is really worried about himself, or afraid that he will lose the last Zhenyang "chaos", which will affect the annual filial piety quota just now, there should be no less superficial effort.
Cao "sex" replied with a smile:
"There is Lao Fujun who is concerned, I will meet the deceased this time, it will be fine, and I will come back in a while!"
Zhao Zhi sat down, Lai Gong stood up again, and maintained the title of the original county governing Chenxian: "Brother Cao Xian, Chen Guo and the two are really hateful, Mo Ruo ordered the sailor to block the water gate in the west of Fancheng, and Hugh wanted the two of them to run away!" ”
Cao "Xing" looked at the sky outside and stood up: "Brother Lai, the trapped beasts are still fighting, and besieging the city on all sides will only make more soldiers pay for their lives!" ”
"But Zhao Ci will not be extinguished for a day......" Lai Gong still has to continue the theory.
Cao "sex" waved his hand: "You can't miss it when you come back, let's talk about it when you come back!" ”
Lai Gong pulled his face and watched Cao "sex" leave, and let out a long sigh.
Sitting in the forefront, like a statue of a god, he "revealed" a smile at this moment.
Out of the gate, Bao Long and Qin Qi separated from them as planned, and Ma Zhong accompanied Cao "sex" to the south gate.
"I've seen Aweng! The 5,000 siege mixed army has been assembled and is ready to attack! ”
Cao Zhen, who was in charge of leading the attack, came to greet him with his subordinates.
From being implicated by Cao Peli, who said the wrong thing when he first arrived in Zhenyang, to being demoted to a big-headed soldier, he has been training until now, and has begun to command the two banners of Zhenghuang and Huang, with 1,800 banner soldiers, which is more than the soldiers commanded by ordinary captains nowadays.
also became the youngest military Sima in Cao's army.
Looking at the generals behind Cao Zhen, who accounted for most of the young people, Cao Zhen smiled "sexually": "Okay! Let's attack! By the way, let Cao Xiang and Cao Pelia put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers and follow me! ”
Mainly with the garrison troops, mixed with the 5,000-strong troops of the Righteous Army, the County National Army, and the Eight Banners Army, the attack was launched.
The fog was very thin, the cover was of little use, and the rebels soon spotted them, and the gong of the early warning sounded, and the tired rebels reluctantly climbed up from the bed in the cave.
Chen Ying, who has been guarding the city, sleeping in the gatehouse when he is sleepy, and coming out to command when there is an attack, ran to the wall early to look around.
Seeing his figure, the rebels hurriedly quickened their pace and went to their posts to take their positions.
Holding on to the city wall, Chen Ying whispered to a Shanyue general beside him: "Ah Fu, this is Cao's consistent wheel battle again!" ”
Chen Ying's brilliant performance in the rebels made some Shanyue generals who were "inserted" by Zhao Ci'an's side sincerely join him.
Among them, he valued the most is this servant, whose full name is the same surname as him, and is Chen Servant.
Chen Fu is rugged and has second-rate martial arts, and is considered a talent: "Cao's 'sex' bastard, he always uses this trick in every battle, and the defending side has no choice, he has been dragged down again and again, so being passive is not a thing, it is better to take someone to kill by the last general, maybe you can find a fighter!" ”
"Servant, Cao's 'sex' command is like a cloud, it's not you and me, this bit of martial arts can shake it! Let's defend first! ”
"No!"
This siege is still as normal as usual, it seems that it is just pulled out for a rehearsal, and there is no real strong attack.
But when 5,000 people arrived at the city, and the rushing cars that hit the door and the ladders that climbed the wall, there were a lot of them, and the Cao army was fooled, but the rebels couldn't be fooled, otherwise the confusion would become true.
One after another, the feathered arrows flew towards Cao Jun, and were blocked by the opponent's shield.
Chen Cai scolded in his mouth: "This damn Cao Jun is the most cowardly, I have never seen this kind of person with a shield!" ”
Chen Ying, who has been the commander of the army for such a long time, sees it more comprehensively: "A bamboo plank and a hemp rope have saved the lives of many Cao soldiers, this small invention has become Cao Jun's unique military style." ”
"If you want me to see, it's better to let the soldiers carry some more baggage, a broken shield, although it is not heavy, but it affects the back package!" In Chen Cai's view, this is the point, the more difficult living conditions in the mountains have long made him accustomed to life and death, and the position of "sex" in his heart is really not high.
Chen Ying and Chen Fu were on the edge of the city wall, commanding and communicating at the same time.
But I didn't see the officers and soldiers who had already reached the root of the wall, Cao "Xing" and Ma Zhong, who were confused.
Cao "Sex" quickly found the target Chen Ying, and made a gesture to Cao Ma and the three of them, and the four of them stopped.
Cao "sex" glanced at Chen Ying's position at the head of the city, reminded the three of them, and whispered: "Ma Zhong, play freely, but you can't hurt his 'sex' life, Cao Xiang, Cao Peli, you two boys, each choose a target dressed in Shanyue!" ”
"No!"
