A pungent smoke swirled above and below the city walls, and the moat was a red water, with countless corpses and charred battle flags floating on it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the black Cao army retreating like a tide, the soldiers and civilians on the city tower

Hug each other and cry, cheer and catharsis.

Lai Gong's calmness was in stark contrast to the festive scene around him, and he stared at Cao Jun, who was well-groomed, with a grim face and a frown. After all, the defending army was weak, and after several attacks and defenses, the spiritual strength was overdrawn. There are not many arrowheads, skulls, rolling stones, gold juice, and fire oil left, and at most they can only support one round of offensive.

Lai Gong put up a canopy in his hand and looked into the distance, trying to find something, but he showed a disappointed look, not knowing when reinforcements would arrive. But now, I have to bite the bullet and do my best to support it, and there is no other way. The worst plan was to die for his country, and he secretly made up his mind.

The plan was stopped, and Lai Gong ordered Xiahou Su and Fan Jian to further mobilize the militia and the people, and collect items that could kill the enemy everywhere, including the stone mills, door stones, and stone piers of the people's homes.

Fan Jian had an idea and reminded Lai Gong that he could follow Liu Chan's instructions to demolish the house and remove the tiles, and he could immediately raise a large number of green bricks, tiles, and wood.

Lai Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed, promising five times the compensation after the war. After the mobilization order was issued, the people who signed up were crowded, and many people didn't say a word, and the whole family took the initiative to demolish their houses and donate materials.

The whole city of the people, the army and the people acted together, the heavy objects on the city tower piled up, Lai Gong was overjoyed, and ordered the county soldiers and county soldiers to be incorporated into the battle sequence together, and Xiahou Su and Fan Jian organized reserves and township Yong to fill the gap at any time to support.

Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of troops besieged for a long time, and there was no way to take the small county town of Dangyang, and they turned the city down. Xiahou Yuan, who was unwilling to fail, was ashamed and angry, and did not allow the Han army to have too much respite, so he decided to make a desperate bet, forcing the third echelon to attack quickly, and ordered Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and other generals and his three sons to take the lead in the attack.

The power of example is endless, Cao's morale was greatly boosted, and the third attack was like a rainbow. The stormy bows and arrows suppressed the Han army so much that it could barely raise its head, and there were few counterattacks.

Cao Jun took the opportunity to gather at the foot of the city wall, set up countless ladders, and the death squad composed of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals screamed and desperately climbed up.

Lai Gong saw that the situation was very critical, and he raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, if the Cao army attacks in, it will definitely slaughter the city, and the entire Dangyang Chicken Dog will not be left." It's time for life and death, fight with them! ”

"Fight with them! I'm invincible! The Han army on the tower of the city shouted in unison, and at this time, many villagers and ordinary people rushed up to help defend it.

"Tell everyone the good news, our rescue army is coming, persistence is victory! People are in the city, vowing to live and die with Dangyang! Kill! Kill! Kill! Lai Gong took the opportunity to add a fire.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The soldiers and civilians raised their arms and shouted, and the murderous spirit was dry.

Countless bricks, tiles, wood, stone mills, door stones, and stone piers were thrown down from the city tower, and their lethality was not inferior to that of the rolling stones. Arrowheads, sassal wood, rolling stones, gold juice, and fire oil also greeted the Cao army who climbed up intensively, and the Cao army suffered heavy casualties.

Xiahou Yuan relied on the strength of the crowd and forced the generals to strengthen the attack, take the city at all costs, and kill the small number of Han troops.

The battle was fierce and entered a white-hot phase. A tall and strong soldier with more than a dozen Cao soldiers who were not afraid of death forcibly broke through, and finally tore a gap, climbed over the wall, and desperately resisted the siege of the Han army. The successor Cao soldiers were whirring, and they poured into the city one after another, forming a circle formation to hold the gap.

Seeing that the situation was precarious, and if decisive measures were not taken, the defense line was about to collapse, Lai Gong saw that the situation was not good, his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Kill them all, and the archers release their arrows!" ”

A rain of arrows passed, Cao Bing was caught off guard, and several people were shot, Lai Gong roared wildly, and pounced with a team of fierce and powerful soldiers.

Lai Gong's own martial arts are not weak, and some time ago he received the guidance of famous generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, and his martial arts have made great progress. Now with hatred, a big knife dances vigorously, like a dragon going to sea, the knife sees blood, the move is fatal, and there is no enemy under him, and he has opened a bloody road and takes Cao Bing's army. As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and seeing that the master will be so desperate, a group of pro-soldiers are also like wolves and tigers, murderous.

Cao Bing was killed and retreated, and the red-eyed Cao Bing was not willing to fail, and pounced on Lai Gong viciously, but after all, the difference in martial arts was too far, not enough for three rounds, and he was killed by Lai Gong with a knife in his hand.

There was not a single Cao soldier left, all of them were wiped out by the Han army, and the position was successfully recovered, and the soldiers and civilians in the city tower were jubilant.

Seeing that the gap was blocked and the success was lost, Xiahou Yuan was furious, cursed loudly, and ordered to continue the attack.

Lai Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the reserves of Xiahou Su and Fan Jian to be divided into four divisions to supplement the four gates, and strictly ordered the guards of each gate to be ready and carefully defended until the last man, and not let the enemy cross the thunder pond one step.

Lai Gong arranged for Fan Jian to sit at the south gate, and Xiahou Su went to the other three gates to inspect and supervise the battle, he was not very relieved about the guards at the city gate, and was ready to inspect it in person.

Lai Gong was about to leave, when suddenly a scout reported urgently, saying that there were ten masked men in black who wanted to seize the north gate, and Sima Wangshi of the city gate led his troops to take possession, and the situation was critical.

"It's not good, there are spies! Rapid reinforcements to the North Gate. Lai Gong was shocked when he heard this, and rushed out, his first reaction was that there were enemy spies in the city, and he rushed down the city tower with five personal soldiers in a hurry, flew on his horse, and went straight to the north gate.

A few minutes later, Lai Gong and his entourage arrived at the north gate, and the ten masked black-clothed men had been surrounded at the city gate by the city gate guards and civilians led by Sima Wangshi, and the sound of fighting and scolding weapons came and went.

"General Lai has arrived!" Someone in the crowd of onlookers shouted and made way for a passage, and Wang Shi was overjoyed and briefly reported the situation to Lai Gong.

Two masked black-clothed men, one fat and one thin, were trying to open the city gate, and Lai Gong saw that the situation was critical, and shouted: "The thief dares to do this!" An arrow killed the tall and thin man in black, and the short and fat man in black stood on the spot, not daring to move.

The other men in black began to panic when they saw that there were officers and soldiers coming to support.

Lai Gong raised his eyes to look at the situation in the field, more than a dozen people in the city gate guards were seriously injured, and among the eight masked black-clothed men who were fighting, except for three who were slightly injured, the remaining five were unscathed.

"Whoever descends will not die! Otherwise, it's a dead end! Lai Gong's face was like sinking water, majestic and majestic, and he raised his knife and shook his finger at the group of thieves and shouted.

The group of thieves looked at each other, but they didn't say a word, and a leader-like thief leader held a ring knife and led the team to rush towards Lai Gong.
