Chapter 1358: Wen Hireng goes to war
Under the city of Xiangyang, the flags are displayed, the trumpet is fluttering, the swords and guns are like a forest, and the sound of killing is moving.
With a simple count, there are fifteen or sixteen curves when the enemy rushes up, and the momentum of the charge is simply like a sea of mountains. At this time, Tai Shici, who was in charge of the reserve, had also stepped forward to personally supervise the battle, and when he arrived at Gan Ning's side, he had probably personally fought with the enemy a few times, his body and face were splashed with blood, and the double halberd in his hand was still dripping blood, and now he put all the troops in his hand into it, and there was no reserve left.
More than 10,000 Jinfan sailors in Ganning were replaced to rest, and those Xiangyang County soldiers and Taishi Ci recruits became the main force defending the city today. Although the number of people is large, the combat power is not necessarily much stronger than Gan Ning's Jinfan. At present, what has not been used much is the 40,000 scientific and technological army of Wenpin. It's just that in the current situation, it may not take a few days, and the army of civil servants will have to be pressed all over.
"Xingba, we can't let the enemy's thunderbolt be in full swing!" Tai Shi Ci licked his blood-stained lips and broke through the core of this attack and defense in one word.
"I know!" Gan Ning slashed to death an enemy soldier with a crazy twisted face, and shouted: "Can't no one, the city will be broken before the fight is finished!" Give me arrows, arrows, and don't stop! ”
Tai Shi Ci was still about to speak, but a big stone flew towards here with a roar, smashing on the top of the city, and the rubble was splashed everywhere. It made the already embarrassed Tai Shi Ci even more discouraged, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say before, brandished his halberd and shouted: "Throwing stones, throwing stones, smashing their thunderbolts!" ”
The trebuchet duel caused a lot of sensation, but the effect was not satisfactory. The thunderbolt can also be said to have made many achievements, and it will be effective when it hits the city wall, but the Ma family's trebuchet will be too accurate if it wants to be ready to hit the thunderbolt 250 steps away. In the fighting, what really brought huge casualties was the Ma family's mountain-destroying crossbow. A dense rain of arrows continued to rain down on the onrushing enemy troops, and the coalition forces rushed upwards in huge numbers and at the cost of sacrifice. Although the ground was littered with corpses, it was as if there were no casualties in the face of the 300,000-strong enemy army.
After three volleys, the front of the moat had become a thick pile of corpses. The coalition army no longer has to worry about where to set up a ladder and support it on a hill made of corpses, how can it be able to land on the wall of Xiangyang. Within a hundred steps of the corpse hill, the four-foot-long giant arrows had lined up in a dense forest of arrows, and those giant arrows were pierced into the ground, more than three feet into the ground, and they couldn't pull them out.
Death and madness were played out on this mountain of corpses, and they were scattered among the arrows, and blood flowed all over the land. Cao Cao and Sun Ce's soldiers who were not afraid of death, after an hour felt that their lives were no luckier than those of the soldiers before a stick of incense, and they finally began to waver.
But at this time, dozens of heads had already been hung under the huge "Cao" command flag in the rear, which were all the heads of soldiers and officers who were not effective in attacking. The hairpins, seals, and other items that demanded identity from the generals Xiahou Yuan and others were all taken away, and the army was being organized to charge again, in order to make meritorious contributions.
The same is true for Sun Ce's side, but what is even crazier than Cao Cao is that he has personally mounted his gun and led his generals to attack the city in person. This time, Zhou Yu did not stop him for half a point.
The hesitant soldiers in the charge were blinded, they couldn't imagine that their lord would take Xiangyang City at such a cost. They knew very well the consequences of their hesitation, that is, even if they fled back to their own army, they would cut off the heads of the reserve law enforcement team, and the tuntian that had been allocated to them would be taken away from their relatives without mercy.
As a result, the Jiangdong disciples were brave under Sun Ce's prestige, and the Cao soldiers continued to fight bravely under the anger that there was no way to retreat. They were crazy and pulled the bows and arrows in their hands and shot them fiercely at the city wall, and with a screaming scream, they landed on the shields of Gan Ning and Tai Shici's personal guards, clanging. The first dead soldier who rushed up from the cloud ladder turned the Xiangyang city wall into a sea of blood, the soldiers on both sides caught each other and killed, a tun chief seemed to find that Gan Ning was a big official, a roar, with more than 30 people rushed to Gan Ning, at this time Gan Ning's position was in front, and it was surrounded at once, Cao Jun roared as if it was a group of dogs pounced on a piece of meat and bones. Gan Ning was furious, holding a knife in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, and went straight into the enemy group, like a tiger entering a wolf pack, killing more than a dozen people in a row, and finally cutting off the head of the head of the Cao army, which beat this Cao army.
However, Ganning's position was still in danger of collapsing, and it seemed that it had become a bridgehead for the enemy to capture Xiangyang, and no matter how many people came up, it seemed that it would be consumed in less than a stick of incense. The power of the Yuanrong crossbow is indeed unparalleled, but under the continuous high-intensity launch, it has been damaged a lot, and it is all sent inside by human lives. At this time, the city wall was completely invisible, and it became a gentle slope, and the corpses were built into a passage in the moat, and the two sides were literally fighting on top of the corpses. This wall has become a huge meat grinder, harvesting fresh life every moment.
"Let's change the text and hire the army!" Tai Shici grabbed Gan Ning and roared wildly, his voice hoarse and ugly like a broken gong: "You have been fighting for two days and one night, and you can't fight anymore!" Zhongye, what the hell is this guy doing, why hasn't he come up to change his guard?! ”
Before the words fell, only a loud bang was heard at the city gate, and the drawbridge that had been put away was lowered at this time. At the opening of the city gate, Wen Ping roared out with three thousand cavalry! At this time, the Cao and Sun armies had already spread all their forces on the line of the city wall, but they had little defense against the city gate blocked by a moat. Wen Ping raised his broadsword and saw that these fighters were rushing in the direction of the enemy's thunderbolt with 3,000 cavalry.
"Good fellows! I didn't expect Zhongye, a usually steady and quiet guy, to have such a bloody side! Gan Ning saw that Wenpin was so visionary, and his heart relaxed a lot. But then he turned his head and asked Tai Shici, "Where did he come from?" ”
"It's also left by the lord," Guo Jia, a scribe, never walked half a step away from the city wall, the soles of his feet were wet with blood, and his body was shaky without saying a word: "Xingba, you retreat first, let Ziyi and Zhongye go here!" ”
Gan Ning smiled, turned around and grabbed Guo Jia: "The military division should retreat with me, don't kill the enemy army but exhaust the military division, the gain will outweigh the loss." ”
Gan Ning and Guo Jia temporarily withdrew from the city walls, but the battle outside the city had just begun. Cao Cao is a military master, even though he is in a hurry, but there are still few people who control the entire battle situation. Thousands of convoys stepped forward and shuttled like dragons, densely guarding the thunderbolts, and the three arms of swords, shields, spears, and archers behaved in a measured manner, which was obviously a formation.
Tai Shici stood at the head of the city, condescending, and immediately ordered the command to lead the way to Wenpin with the order flag. Wen Ping got the help of Lingqi, and when he boarded, he cleared the direction and rushed towards the direction of the thunderbolt car. The recruited soldiers under the command of Wen Ping are strictly in accordance with the standards of the Ma family, and the archery skills are extremely proficient, although they are not as good as those iron horsemen who live on horseback all day long in Liang, He, and Yousanzhou, their combat power is almost the same. Under the violent eruption of the Hequ horse, the Cao army was torn apart. Cao's army changed formations again and again, blocking them with several times the military strength, but they couldn't stop their way.
However, the formation of troops that clashed hundreds of times with 3,000 troops was a little too terrifying. What's more, Cao Cao immediately sent soldiers to intercept him, and he obviously had already taken precautions against this. Tai Shi Ci looked carefully at the top of the city, and the smoke and dust behind Cao Cao surged, like a giant dragon roaring, it seemed that he was going to dispatch the world-famous tiger and leopard to ride and intercept and kill the Wenpin Department in one fell swoop!
Tai Shi Ci was about to ask Ming Jin to let Wen Ping return, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the abnormality of Wen Ping's office. I saw that after Wen Ping rushed into the formation, he fought hard while breaking the crockpot behind the horse's belly. Under the gallop of the war horse, the liquid in the crockpot was sprinkled all over the battle line, and there was a foul smell.
"What does it smell like? ......" The slight south wind quickly brought this smell into Tai Shici's nose, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with joy: "It's fire oil, what a Zhongye, I actually thought of this method!" ”
Tai Shici immediately ordered to prepare, and when he turned back, he saw that Wen Ping had not achieved many military exploits, so he had already begun to retreat automatically. Wen Ping took the lead, and with the long knife in his hand, the enemy generals fell off their horses one after another. At this time, Cao Ying did not have Dian Wei, Xu Chu and personally defended Cao Cao, those tired generals who fought hard for two days and one night were really few opponents of Wen Ping, Wen Ping showed his might, the horse was like waves everywhere cracked, just before Cao Cao's formation was about to be arranged, he successfully rushed out of the Cao army and retreated to the suspension bridge.
"Okay, now is it!" Tai Shi Ci waved his right hand fiercely when he saw the opportunity, and the trebuchet in the city was once again powerful at this moment. It's just that this time it's no longer ordinary rocks, but ......
