Chapter 1035: Into the City
The catapult was indeed amazing, and as soon as it appeared, Cao Cao suffered a lot.
In particular, the blow to morale is even more severe.
Now many soldiers are afraid to go up to the city.
"It's horrible. There are stones flying from all over the world that are bigger than a millstone. ”
"If you hit it, it will be directly turned into a patty."
"When the city wall is smashed, it is a big hole, and people who are there will definitely die."
"The stone was thrown over by Zhang Yu's soldiers, they are all heavenly soldiers."
After the soldiers went down, all kinds of rumors spread.
No way, it's scary.
A lot of them were scared.
Some people don't even know why the stones are flying over, and they know that they are shivering under the battlements.
Morale in the city suffered.
The catapult continued to roar, and many places were smashed by them.
However, Cao Jun had nothing to do.
Cao Jun even wanted to abandon the city walls.
After a day of smashing, many places collapsed.
When a new day came, Zhang Yu ordered the soldiers to start smashing.
After smashing for a while, Zhang Yu ordered the soldiers to start climbing the city.
When they climbed up, they didn't meet much resistance.
It was too late for Cao Jun to find out that Zhang Yu's army had climbed up.
The soldiers who went up immediately occupied important places.
"Quick, go up and get an archer." Zhang Yu found that there were a lot of soldiers on it, and it was a good time to attack inside.
The walls are occupied, and the time for the decisive battle is approaching.
Cao Cao was in the governor's mansion, and the soldiers hurried over.
"Lord, the city wall is occupied." The soldier reported.
This had been expected for a long time, Cao Cao closed his eyes and waved his hand to let the soldiers go down.
Several of his men who got the news came in a hurry.
"Mengde, while there is still a chance, you must leave first." Xu Yu suggested.
In fact, Xu You also wanted to leave, it was too dangerous here.
But he couldn't say he was going to run.
Cao Cao's identity is destined to be unable to do anything, he has an accident, although there is still a Cao Ang, but this huge change, his power will definitely have a lot of trouble.
However, at this time, Cao Cao was gone, and the morale of the entire army inevitably plummeted.
Cao Cao was also entangled.
"No, this king can arrange soldiers and horses to escort you back first, and this king will stay until the last moment." Cao Cao said firmly.
He couldn't leave, and after leaving, Zhang Yu would be able to take the city more easily.
"Lord, please leave with us, this is inseparable from you." Xun You persuaded him.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The prince has grown up and has outstanding abilities, and besides, I have a few generals to protect me, and there will definitely be no accidents." ”
Cao Cao still didn't agree to leave, and once he left, this battle would be even more difficult to fight.
Several people persuaded again, but Cao Cao still did not agree to leave.
And a few of their strategists had no choice but to leave, it was useless for them to stay, but they would drag their feet.
When they want to leave, they must first remove the stones from the south gate.
At the south gate, Zhang Yu deliberately did not arrange soldiers and horses, of course, to prevent them from coming out to attack.
Leaving the south gate for them to leave, Zhang Yu hoped that they could run and solve them in the wild, which was much easier to fight than when they got together.
Xu You and the others left under the escort of more than 20,000 cavalry, and Zhao Yun went to pursue after discovering it, and gave up after chasing for several hours without catching up.
On the Yecheng side, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry after occupying the city wall, but just began to clean the stones of the city gate, and then attacked when he was ready.
Now that the south gate has also been opened, Zhang Yu sent Zhao Yun at the south gate to prevent them from coming out to sneak attack.
Of course, it also prevents them from escaping, it doesn't matter if they run away for the first time, it can shake their military morale, but the army can't go.
The gates were slowly cleared, and the main roads around them were cleared.
At the same time, Zhang Yu also arranged ambushes outside the four city gates to prevent other accidents.
Everything is ready, and when a new day comes, Zhang Yu will take the soldiers and horses to kill it in person.
But Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai disagreed.
"Lord, this attack will definitely not be defeated in three or five days, the lord will go again tomorrow, and you can only go in after the soldiers confirm that it is safe, in case they burn another fire."
There was something before, and several strategists were afraid that Cao Jun would set fire again, and Cao Jun would set fire to it, but he wanted to burn everything.
Zhang Yu had no choice but to follow the advice of the two people and go in the next day.
Entering the city, the decisive battle began, and the armies of both sides were in full array.
On Zhang Yu's side, the sword and shield soldiers slowly advanced.
And Cao Jun is already ready on the main roads.
It was not easy for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in this small place, so Cao Cao asked the army to start blocking it from a distance.
"Break the city and capture Cao Cao alive."
"Capture Cao Cao alive."
"Kill it."
The morale of the army in Koto is like a rainbow.
Zhang Yu let the hundreds of thousands of Fusang troops advance in two directions, and Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses advanced in the other two directions.
The four gates attacked at the same time and advanced into the city.
The resistance encountered at the south gate was the greatest, which was the direction in which the Cao army fled and they fled, so more troops were arranged.
"Kill, kill, kill."
The army entered slowly.
Zhang Yu was outside the city, and he could also hear bursts of shouts and killings.
The two armies fought, Zhang Yu's side, and the morale was very high.
The attack was not very smooth, although the morale of these Cao troops was much lower, but their generals came out to fight in person, blocking Zhang Yu's wave after wave of attacks.
The most eye-catching place is still the army of Fuso, they are really not human when they are crazy.
The crazy impact, although the casualties were very large, but the Cao army also suffered heavy casualties.
Coupled with the cooperation of Zhang Yu's army on the side, the effect is very good.
On the first day of the attack, Fuso's army lost more than 30,000.
However, in exchange for Cao Jun's casualties, it was also about the same casualties.
This is because there are other armies on the side to cooperate, otherwise there is absolutely no way to play such a high record.
On the first day of the bloody battle, Zhang Yu and the others advanced hundreds of meters.
Cao Jun's strategy was to resist a little bit and try to consume Zhang Yu's army.
The next day, Zhang Yu asked several generals to be in charge of one direction, and the young generals were also assigned.
"After entering, check the residents on both sides to see if there are ambushes, and those who refuse to open the door can break down the door, but they are not allowed to hurt the people." Zhang Yu ordered.
This is the time of war, you can't worry too much, it has to be.
The next day, Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to consolidate the line before continuing to attack.
Zhang Yu also went to the front line in person.
As soon as he arrived, he ran into Zhang Jaw and Xiahou Yuan.
"Hello two generals, now that they are surrounded by our army, it is impossible to escape, it is better to surrender to me." Zhang Yu said to the two.
Zhang Jaw was expressionless, while Xiahou Yuan was broken.
"The gates of the city have been broken by this king, and there is no one who can hinder this king from ruling the world, surrendering to this king, and leaving a name in history." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu naturally knew that these were nonsense, but these words would spread out, and under this kind of heavy pressure, it was inevitable that the army's morale would fluctuate, and someone would surrender.
