Chapter 443, Smoke Scheme
"My lord, this afternoon, Dong Cheng, the general of the chariot cavalry, entered the palace again to see Your Majesty."
It was already dark, Cao Cao was about to eat, when he heard Yang Xiu's reply, his brows suddenly wrinkled dissatisfied, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, and his face showed anger.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and muttered, "Dong Cheng, you are really not at ease at all." ”
Dong Cheng's daughter entered the palace and became a nobleman, and Dong Cheng's status has become more and more prominent, but he has been on the verge of moving recently, often going in and out of the palace, obviously, he wants to cause some trouble for Cao Cao and put some eye medicine!
After pondering for a while, Cao Cao looked at Yang Xiu and said, "Dezu, you have done a good job, let the internal guards not relax, if you find anything abnormal, you can report it to me at any time!" ”
Yang Xiu nodded, and took the opportunity to ask, "Guo Xijiu, you should be back soon, right?" ”
As soon as he thought of that prodigal, Yang Xiu's mood couldn't help but be excited, in the whole of Luoyang, there were only three people who Yang Xiu couldn't see through, one was Cao Cao, one was Jia Xu, who had recently surrendered with Zhang Xiu, and the other was Guo Jia.
Every time he saw Guo Jia, Yang Xiu felt very frustrated, in Guo Jia's eyes, Yang Xiu couldn't attract his attention at all, and whoever he was, he couldn't accept this feeling of being ignored, not to mention, if he wanted to help the Han family to bring down Cao Cao, Yang Xiu had to defeat Guo Jia.
All along, catching up with and surpassing Guo Jia's pace is Yang Xiu's goal! Otherwise, if the Han family wants to revive, there is no chance at all, and even the strategists around Cao Cao can't defeat it, once Yang Xiu takes action, won't he be immediately recognized by Guo Jia?
"Fengxiao, I should be back soon, hey, it's freezing this day, Fengxiao is really hard!"
At the mention of Guo Jia, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and the majesty of the superior on his body disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like talking about his confidant and friend, happy, worried, and like a woman, he chattered, "I don't know if he is cold or not, and the people around him can be taken care of?" Yu is a good hand in the forbidden army, and it is difficult to say anything else. ”
Cao Cao's attitude towards Guo Jia made Yang Xiu's heart suddenly burst into flames.
………………
After a day's onslaught, the Xuzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties, thousands of casualties, after the armistice at night, the atmosphere in the camp was extraordinarily silent, up and down, everyone's heart seemed to be pressed a boulder.
The battle was so tragic that I couldn't be happy with whoever I changed.
Lu Zhuo didn't care about eating, and immediately went to the medical team, which was completely chaotic, and countless wounded soldiers were lying or lying, crowded to the brim, and there was a terrible wail of pain.
Shocking and distressing, Lu Zhuo gritted his teeth and immediately ordered, "Bandage the seriously injured patients first, and send the people back to Tancheng immediately afterwards, and the lightly injured brothers should bear with it first." ”
Immediately after, Lu Zhuo asked people to bring the prepared meals to the wounded soldiers first, and the wounded soldiers must be properly cared for, and must not be abandoned, although Lu Zhuo had already set up a medical team, but no matter how much medical care was in a tough battle, it was far from enough.
There are too many wounded soldiers, many of them are too seriously injured and can only wait for death in pain and despair, many people's intestines have flowed out, the knife wounds and arrow wounds on their bodies are miserable, and the terrible screams are like countless sharp knives piercing Lu Zhuo's heart, the only thing Lu Zhuo can do is to grit his teeth and make up his mind to take Pengcheng as soon as possible.
Xu Shu was also worried, pacing in circles in the tent, holding his hands behind his back, tightening his eyebrows, anxious, after a while, he was really depressed, and walked out of the tent, a cool breeze blew, Xu Shu subconsciously shrunk his neck.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, much stronger than during the day, Xu Shu suddenly had a clear mind for a while, as if another lightning bolt struck the spiritual platform, "If there is such a strong wind tomorrow, it will be good!" ”
Turning the day, Xu Shu was ecstatic, the wind was not stopping, the north wind was cold, the flag sail in the camp was blown wildly by the wind, Xu Shu hurriedly came to Lu Zhuo, "Lord, I have a plan, maybe it's worth a try." ”
"Oh?"
Lu Zhuo was worried about this matter, and after hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "But it doesn't hurt to say it, the plan will be released?" ”
Xu Shu hurriedly replied, "We can order people to pile up grain and grass under the city, and then set it on fire, and pour cold water on it, so that smoke can rise, and this thing may be able to help the city get a miraculous effect." ”
"Okay, get ready!"
Since it is a north wind, such a strong wind, from the north gate to ignite, the smoke will definitely blow to the city wall immediately, the Cao soldiers defending the city will inevitably be blocked, the pressure of the siege will be much smaller, Lu Zhuo has people prepare a lot of wet cloth, let the soldiers take with them, and the smoke can be reduced when attacking the city.
Lu Zhuo let people attack at the north gate with all their might, which naturally couldn't escape Guo Jia's eyes, Guo Jia frowned, at first he didn't know what Lu Zhuo relied on, when the smoke was burning outside the north city, Guo Jia suddenly woke up, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't imagine that they can have such a wonderful idea, it's really eye-opening." ”
The smoke rose into the air, and was blown up by the strong wind and floated up the city wall, and the Cao soldiers who defended the city were suddenly shrouded in choking smoke, coughing all over the place in an instant, and they couldn't see anything clearly, and they couldn't open their eyes when they choked, and the soldiers were suddenly in a mess.
"Kill, rush!"
Lu Zhuo took the lead and led the Flying Tigers to the front.
"Not good!"
Guo Jia slapped his leg urgently, at this time Cao Bing was very passive, even if he transferred everyone to the north wall, he would not be able to see anything clearly by the choking smoke, and he was not counting on helping to defend the city, but he was afraid that he would not know where to chop when he raised his sword.
Yu Ban hurriedly came to Guo Jia's side, "My lord, for today's plan, we must quickly send people out of the city to completely extinguish their fire, otherwise, the north gate will be more auspicious and less auspicious, and it will not be able to resist at all." ”
Guo Jia nodded, "Without further ado, let Lu Bu lead the troops out of the city quickly!" ”
"My lord coincides with what I think, and I have the same intention!"
Yu Ban agreed, and hurriedly went to find Lu Bu, Lu Bu didn't say a word, and immediately led people out of the city, almost all of his old subordinates were followed by him, but at this moment it became a sharp sword in Guo Jia's hands.
Xu Shu had already expected it, and when he saw Lu Bu coming out of the north gate, he hurriedly gave the order, and after a while, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu led people to kill them on the left and right, just blocking Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was imprevious, alone against Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, the horse neighed, the three of them fought together, Zhang Liao and others also rushed forward to kill, Xu Shu gave the order again, let Guan Yu and Zhao Yun deliberately retreat, Lu Bu led people to the firewood and grass that was burning with thick smoke.
But if you want to put out the fire, it's not that simple, Zhang Liao hurriedly offered a plan, there was more smoke and less fire here, he asked Lu Bu to lead people to gallop on the firewood and grass, and trample the fireworks with horses' hooves.
