Chapter 897: Time Moves and Sets Fire
Cao Ren was defeated by the Taiyi Mixed Sky Array, Cao Cao sent troops to rescue, but was defeated again, so he had to retreat into the city and not go out.
Luo Gan completely had the advantage at this time, and planned to launch a general attack on Yecheng and completely take Yecheng.
"The generals listened to the order, and when the fire broke out in Yecheng on the third watch tonight, you would lead the troops to attack Yecheng, and the success or failure would be in one fell swoop. Break through the city and kill Cao Cao! "Luo Gan has already made contact with the time of the drummer, and tonight the third watch will attack Yecheng and mobilize before the battle.
"Please give the order!" All the generals were very excited, and they had long wanted to launch a decisive battle, break through Yecheng as soon as possible, and recover Jizhou as soon as possible.
"Okay, Yun Tianbiao is the main general, Guan Sheng, Guan Ling, Yun Long, and Zhu Tong are assisted, and lead 5,000 troops to attack the east gate of Yecheng." Luo Gan likes to let Guan Sheng and Yun Tianbiao take turns to take charge of the military and assist each other, so that the Guan family and the Yun family can contain each other, so as not to be difficult to transfer.
"No!" Yun Tianbiao stepped forward to receive the order, and the rest of the people did not object when they waited.
"Wu Yanguang is the main general, assisted by Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Han Cunbao, and Ma Ling, leading 5,000 troops to attack the north gate." Luo Gan handed the talisman to Wu Yan Guangdao.
"No!" Wu Yanguang commanded.
"Shi Wengong is the main general, leading Shi Jin, Wang Yin, Shan Shiqi, and Shangguanyi, leading 5,000 troops to attack Ximen." Luo Gan looked at Shi Wengong and said.
"No!"
"Hu Yanzhuo is the main general, Qin Ming, Bian Xiang, Yuan Lang, Ou Peng, Wang Tianba, Wei Dingguo are the deputy generals, and he led 10,000 troops to ambush outside the south gate, and only Cao Cao's soldiers and horses can be killed from that. You will stop Cao Cao for me, and you will let this Cao Cao ambush the corpse of Ye City. Cao Cao lives or dies, I want it! Luo Gan ordered.
"No! If Cao Cao is allowed to run away, it will not be our credit. Hu Yanzhuo patted his chest, full of confidence.
The soldiers and horses led by Luo Gan, plus the soldiers and horses supplemented by Guan Sheng, and Guan Sheng's Yuan soldiers who were surrendered to capture the counties of Jizhou, there were almost more than 30,000 people.
"The rest of the generals are with me to command the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses, just waiting for Cao Cao's reaction, or reinforcements or chasing and killing the enemy army, they are all ready for me." Luo Gandao.
"No!"
"Remember this siege, although someone set fire to the city and disturbed the city. But after all, I don't have many soldiers and horses in the city, so I want Cao Cao to really be frightened and escape from the city. When you attack the city, you must fight hard, and at the same time, you must make a big noise and scare Cao Cao. Luo Gan instructed.
"I'll understand!" The main general led his troops to prepare.
As night fell, the moonlight, which was bright on weekdays, seemed to be shy today and hid in the clouds.
When it was almost the third watch, a dark shadow appeared around the warehouse of grain and grass that Cao Jun had placed in the city.
This black shadow is emaciated, but its skills are extremely good, like a sensitive black cat in the night. Walking between the houses, climbing over the walls and going up, as if entering a no-man's land, without making the slightest sound, they have already sneaked into the granary.
"Hehe, I'll set Cao Cao's grain and grass on fire first, and then Cao Cao will definitely send someone to put out the fire, I'll put a fire in Cao Cao's mansion and burn him. Otherwise, I would simply sneak into Cao Cao's residence and cut his throat with a knife, wouldn't it be a great achievement. The flea on the drum suddenly thought, why didn't he assassinate Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Shi Qian was very excited, hurriedly took out the fire fold from his arms, blew it, and the fire appeared, stretched out his hand to ignite the thing that ignited the fire, and took out a small wine jar from his arms to spill the wine.
Shi Qian lit fires in many places in the warehouse, and soon the entire warehouse was on fire.
"Oh no, it's water, it's water!"
"On fire, on fire!"
The soldier in charge of guarding the grain and grass found out, was shocked, and roared.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, I'll go and report to the lord!" The clothes of Cao Jun's pawn, which Shi Qian had already put on, jumped out of the corner, shouted for Cao Jun to put out the fire, and ran to the house where Cao Cao lived openly.
"Stop, what are you doing!" Dian Wei grabbed Shi Qian and didn't let Shi Qian in.
"Report, report to the general, the warehouse is on fire, the grain and grass are on fire, and the villain is ordered to come and report to the lord." Shi Qian was taken aback, and reported to Dian Wei very anxiously.
"What, how do you take care of the grain? By the way, who is in charge of the grain and grass? Dian Wei lifted Shi Qian up and said angrily.
"Report to the general, the villain is Zheng Tu, and it is Zhang Qing who takes care of the grain and grass." The time has come to get the information right.
On Cao Cao's side, it was Zhang Qing from the vegetable garden who was in charge of the grain and grass, and it was the dominatrix Sun Erniang and Zheng Tu from Zhenguanxi who cooked for Cao Cao.
That's right, when Luo Gan summoned them, the three that he brought out had been born for a long time, and even Luo Gan probably forgot them.
Dian Wei didn't doubt Shi Qian's identity for the time being, but he pushed Shi Qian away: "I know about this, you go back to put out the fire, I will report to the lord." ”
Dian Wei turned around to report to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was shocked, this grain and grass is the top priority in the army, and nothing can happen, so he hurriedly took Dian Wei and Xu Chu to check the firefighting.
Shi Qian wanted to do it, but he found that Dian Wei and Xu Chu had been by Cao Cao's side, so where did they dare to do it.
Those two are fierce generals with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, big shoulders and round waists, and they are good at moving lightly, but compared with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they are small next door calves, if they really want to assassinate Cao Cao, it will not be a tiger's mouth.
"Hmph, I can't kill it, so I'll burn your house!" Shi Qian looked at Cao Cao's distant back, said fiercely, and turned over from the right side into the mansion where Cao Cao lived.
Soon the house also burned down, and Shi Qian ran to the street alone to shout for fire: "Oh no, the lord's house is on fire." Come and put out the fire, the lord is still in the room, quick, save the lord. Shi Qian shouted all the way, attracting many Cao soldiers to put out the fire.
Later, Shi Qian relied on his light skills to set fires in many places in the city and made noise.
The Cao army in the city thought that there were many Luo troops in the city, and Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to personally lead an army to arrest the arsonists.
Shi Qian originally wanted to open the city gate directly and let Luo Gan's army in, but found that it was not realistic. There are many defenders at the city gate, not to mention that the gate of Yecheng is tall and heavy, with the strength of the time, this gate has not yet opened, and he may be killed by Cao Jun's rush up and slashed to death.
The third watch has arrived, the city is angry, and Cao's army is a little messy.
"Kill!"
"Siege!"
"The whole army will attack the city with me!"
Yun Tianbiao, Wu Yanguang, and Shi Wengong launched a fierce attack almost at the same time, and the main generals made a performance one after another, taking the lead themselves, rushing to the front to take the lead, and launched a fierce attack on Yecheng.
Because Luo Gan's order was a fierce attack, all the generals were the leaders of the siege, and those Luo army pawns did not dare to slack off, and the Luo army's offensive was very fierce.
"Oh no, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Go and report to the lord, there are so many enemies! Request support! ”
"Let the lord quickly transfer troops, this Luo army is crazy!"
