Chapter 121 Volume 1 Capture Zhang Liao Ma Chao Jian Jian Jian Lu Bu Xu Shu layout
The next day, Yuyang County was agitated. Nearly 200,000 soldiers were under the city of Yuyang, Gongsun Zhan appeared on the city tower, staring at the handsome flag in front, Zhuge Liang sat on the four-wheeled car of the Chinese army, and wrote to the Han Dynasty to quell the rebellion of the capital Governor Wu Xianghou. On the left stands Guan Yu, and Hong'er dressed as a man.
The army on the left bears the banner of Cao Cao, and on the right is Yuan Shao. After the reorganization of the three armies, everyone looked at Yuyang in front of them, and the prosperous city of Youzhou this week is now full of armor.
"Attack." With the order of the Han army, the dense siege vehicles did not withdraw, and the sword and shield soldiers held large shields and braved the arrows to cover the siege soldiers. A large number of sergeants carried the ladder and went straight to Yuyang City.
Gongsun Chan had already prepared, and released the arrow with a sound. The bows and arrows on the city wall shot towards Zhuge Liang and the other army like locusts passing through. Guan Yu had the catapults in his army counterattack, and these catapults were improved by Zhuge Liang to reach a range of 800 paces. The boulder smashed on Yuyang City, suppressing the Youzhou army for a short time, and at this time, the crusading army had already put the cloud ladder on the shelf.
Gongsun Zhan looked at all this coldly, and splashed a lot of hot oil from the city wall with a wave of his hand, and for a while the Han army, Yuan army, Cao army and others screamed again and again.
The Youzhou army threw a lot of fire into the city, constantly burning the siege army. A small part of the Han army climbed the city walls, and after a while they were recaptured on the high ground. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Chu and others were guarding the siege vehicle, constantly hitting the Yuyang City Gate.
Many generals exerted their strength to the extreme, and every time they hit the Yuyang City Gate, they were crumbling.
Behind the Yuyang City Gate was also standing a group of Youzhou military generals, their hands were sealed, constantly repairing the city gate seal, and every time they hit, they couldn't help but vomit blood.
"General. The gates were almost overwhelmed. ”
"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it for me. The archers lit a fire under the city gates. Gongsun Chan roared angrily on the city tower, and countless Youzhou troops were ordered, ignited rockets, and shot towards the Yuyang City Gate.
The siege army has huge shields, and there are still many rockets through the gaps, shooting at the lucky ones who are favored by death. Soon a fire was burning around the gates, and the people had to retreat. The defenders of Youzhou in Yuyang City breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as they withdrew their mana, some of them died on the spot due to overdraft.
This battle was a heavy loss for the coalition forces, and it was irrational for the besieging side to forcibly attack the city when the other side was ready. Zhuge Liang also secretly thought that he was careless, although he tested the strength of the Yuyang defenders, but the price was too heavy.
The first battle was lost, and the momentum of the coalition forces was very sluggish. Many people sneered, intending to see Zhuge Liang's jokes. Taihang Academy and Huishan Academy had a taste of schadenfreude, but they didn't show it, because they also felt the difficulty of attacking Yuyang.
Other soldiers in the coalition army complained, and many messages and gossip came out. Zhuge Liang laughed at this, rising every day, returning every day, and repeating it for several days. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Dadu Governor.
Gongsun Zhan's nerves were highly tense for several days this year, and not only did the coalition army suffer heavy losses during the siege that day, but the Youzhou army also suffered a large number of casualties, most of them died under the cannon stones. Gongsun Zhan looked at the coalition artillery stone with a jealous expression, this stone-throwing Youzhou army also has it, but it is not as strong as the coalition army. Gongsun Chan couldn't help but steal a few units to take a look at them as an improvement.
Fortunately, the other party was not confused, otherwise Yuyang would have changed hands at this time. And the recent reduction in the offensive of the coalition forces has relieved him a lot. But there are also some things that annoy him, such as Zhao Yun occupying Guangyang, harassing and looting grain and grass from time to time, and disturbing Gongsun Zhan too much. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang's coalition forces, he would have returned to Guangyang at this time.
On this day, Zhuge Liang marched in the camp as usual, and suddenly Zhuge Liang saw the banner of the Han army slowly drifting to the northwest, and his eyes gradually moistened.
It's finally here, but unfortunately, the end of this war will cost a lot of merit.
The next day, Zhuge Liang ordered Guan Yu to order his headquarters to have 8,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the upper reaches of the Yuhe River, and everyone did not know the other party's actions.
Cao Cao said to everyone with a puzzled face: "However, the Governor of the Dao Dao wants to cut off the water source in the city? ”
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Similarly, Yuan Shao was also confused, and became more and more irritable as time went on. Zhuge Liang just made the two of them good at logging and building ships, and both of them felt that Zhuge Liang was not stunned, building ships in a place like Youzhou, and he had to build a lot of ships.
When the two of them asked later, Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile, saying that the heavenly opportunity should not be revealed.
The water above Yuyang was indeed blocked by Guan Yu, and the Han army carried sandbags every day and surrounded the water upstream several times. After Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw it, they couldn't help but be amazed, they had made so much, but it was just a water cut, and now it seems that Youzhou City has not been affected by anything.
Back in the coalition village, Zhuge Liang asked people to set up an altar. When the altar was erected from the Han army's Dazhai, many disciples of Taihang Academy and Huishan Academy were directly laughed at.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also felt that this metropolitan governor was too child's play, and if this continued, the army would have no fighting spirit, and the army would be defeated without Gongsun Zhan's action.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao joined forces, and just happened to bump into Zhuge Liang holding a seven-star sword in his hand, with his hair scattered, and there were words in his mouth. And Huishan Academy and Taihang Academy looked at Zhuge Liang with interest, after all, they also wanted to open their eyes today.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were also about to take the stage, but they were stopped by the guards in the audience.
"Don't you know who I'm waiting for?"
Han Jun glanced at the two of them, nodded and said: "I have seen the two generals, it is not enough for the Marquis of Wu Xianghou to say, he will borrow the wind and ask for rain for three days, and no one can disturb him." ”
Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said: "In this way, I will wait for the Metropolitan Governor for three days and give me an explanation." ”
"Two generals, please take care of yourself." The guards of the Han army were also very tough, and Yuan Shao really pulled Cao Cao to live on the altar, and the Han guards didn't say anything about it.
The relevant news had already reached Gongsun Zhan's ears, and Gongsun Chan chuckled.
"After all, it's a child's nature, and the rumors are not accurate."
Not only Gongsun Chan has this idea, but there are not a few coalition forces who have this idea, especially the military horses of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, everyone has been building ships non-stop these days, and it feels like they are sitting in useless work. For a while, the soldiers thought about returning, and there were also remarks about changing the coach.
Finally, on the third day, Zhuge Liang sat on the altar. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had already waited impatiently, and were ready to rush away from the military division to wake up Zhuge Liang and fight Gongsun Zan to the death.
Now not only Yuan Shao has this idea, but Cao Cao is also that if this battle drags on like this, it will be unfavorable to the coalition army after all.
