Chapter 484: For military merit or for breaking the city

The Jingzhou army launched a fierce attack again, but this time it was different from only attacking one side, but attacking from all sides, and the manpower in the city was suddenly overstretched, 30,000 horses and horses were evenly distributed to 8,000 on each side, Cao Hong and Cheng Yu transferred all the troops that could be used in the city away from the defense of the city, but it was still to no avail, casualties occurred every moment, and the defenders were getting fewer and fewer.

"No, Master Cheng, we must immediately transfer the transferred family members to the city wall to assist in the defense, otherwise the city will be broken immediately! Several times the enemy army has already reached the top of the city! Cao Hong stood in front of Cheng Yu covered in blood and shouted. The whole body was full of blood, and some of the frightened maids hid in the corner and shivered.

Seeing Cao Hong's appearance, he thought that he was seriously injured, Cheng Yu was also startled, and after watching it for a long time, he finally put his mind at ease, he didn't expect the Jingzhou army to be so strong, and he hated Cao Cao for taking care of his reputation and wine to kill Liu Yong directly, and he blamed himself for not fulfilling his duties as a courtier.

"Okay, let them go, I originally wanted to drag it out for a few days, but I didn't expect the strength of the Jingzhou Army to be so strong!" Cheng Yu sighed!

A large number of doormen were driven to the city, although the combat strength was much lower, the number of casualties immediately soared, and there were dead bodies everywhere, and there was really no place to throw down the city wall, or pile them in one place, just like Jingguan.

Although the number of casualties was several times higher, only three or four people in the city were mixed with one defender soldier, and the casualties of the defenders and horses were reduced a lot, which made Cao Hong's heart calm a little.

But there are also good players among the guests, although many families have hidden some snow, but there are always some strong ones, and they are in the limelight in the city, and even Cao Hong has to be moved.

For example, Wang Xi, a strong man covered in blood next to him, is one of the good hands, with superb martial arts, far more strength than ordinary people, ruthless shots, and brave and invincible, so that Cao Hong did not hesitate to accept him as a general. Directly appointed as the head of the tun.

"Ziquan, you did a good job, when the Jingzhou soldiers retire, you should ask for credit for Duke Wei!"

Wang Xi was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, General!" ”

Cao Hong is very satisfied with Wang Xi's attitude, not arrogant or impatient, and is a manufacturable material.

"I'll leave it to you for the time being, I'll go to other places first!"

Wang Xi immediately patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, as long as Wang Xi has a breath, the enemy will not want to enter the city from here!" ”

When Cao Hong walked away, Wang Xi raised his head and smiled coldly at Cao Hong's back: "I will definitely give you a big surprise." ”

After another day of fighting, Xuchang is still as stable as ever, but because there are too many dead people, the dead corpses cannot be disposed of in time, the corpses that can be seen everywhere in the city are exposed, the horror is abnormal, no one wants to go out at will, the children are locked in the house and are not allowed to go out, and there is no one else on the street except for the military horses and vehicles that rush by, like ghosts, everything is shrouded in clouds, lifeless.

The Jingzhou camp is also gloomy, after a series of battles, more than 4,000 people were killed and injured today, who can not worry.

"Strategist, you have to think of a way, if it goes on like this, I don't know how many sons and daughters will die in battle!" Zhang Fei shouted directly.

"It's not just about this, the spies sent by Ping reported that Xu Huangzheng led an army of 30,000 from Hanoi, and Lejin also led 20,000 horses from Xuzhou." Guan Ping is also an old senior, so he said it directly.

Pang Tong looked at everyone and reassured: "Don't worry, in a few days, there will be a big turnaround, and the city will definitely be broken in one fell swoop." ”

But this time the generals really didn't appreciate it, this was their subordinates, watching these familiar people who could be named become cold corpses, there were really not many who could not be moved.

Zhang Fei was the first to shout: "You said a few days before, and this time you said a few days, which day is it?" ”

Pang Tong: "......"

Zhang Fei can sometimes choke people to death when he speaks, Pang Tong suddenly didn't know how to answer, he did say this before, and scolded in his heart: This fool who remembers eating or not fighting, it is clear when he remembers what I said.

Zang Ba was also tactfully complaining, Zhao Yun had always been silent and stood there straight, but he didn't attack the city, and his men and horses were intact, so naturally he wouldn't say much. As for Guan Yu, he stood there proudly forever, his eyes half-narrowed, as if he was half-asleep, his hands stroked his long hair, and he let others mess with Pang Tong.

Pang Tong knew in his heart that the affairs of the Yang family naturally could not be said, and there were still a lot of defenders in the city, plus the men and people who were transferred, the strength had increased a lot, and it was not easy to storm the city.

When attacking the city, the so-called "three times the siege, five times the siege!" It can be seen that the difficulty of attacking the city, not to mention that it is still the capital of Cao Cao.

It's not that I'm afraid, the generals who lead the troops here are all veterans of the battlefield who have fought for many years, even if it is the Tibetan tyrant, he is also the big boss who once led tens of thousands of thieves in Mount Tai, but everyone has no bottom, and I always feel that Pang Tong is dragging time, which makes people anxious.

"Do you want to capture Xuchang or do you want military merits?" Pang Tong suddenly asked lightly.

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Fei shouted: "Are you confused, military advisor, what difference does this make?" The capture of Xuchang is a war achievement! ”

Although the others didn't speak, they all looked like they were watching what Pang Tong said, obviously agreeing with Zhang Fei's words, and even Guan Yu's eyes seemed to widen a little, only Tian Feng sat happily and drank himself as if he was watching a good show.

Pang Tong shook his head and sneered: "If it's for attacking the city, it's a way to siege the city, and if it's for military merit, then there are many ways!" ”

Zhang Fei patted his head and said with a smile: "It seems to be ...... That's the reason, but what other military function is as good as breaking a city? ”

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu seemed to have thought of something, and they smiled a little embarrassedly and lowered their heads and didn't speak.

"Is killing an enemy general considered a military feat? Is the defeat of the enemy army considered a military feat? Is it just to break through Xuchang? Pang Tong looked around at everyone and said deliberately mockingly, "General Guan Ping just said, Xu Huang is here, Le Jin is also here, I don't know which general is willing to lead the troops to meet the battle!" ”

"I do! Hey! Zhang Fei's black face changed really fast, like turning a book, and he immediately agreed with a hippie smile.

"The cloud is willing to lead the battle!"

"Guan will meet that Xu Huang!"

Tian Feng grinned.

Suddenly, several fast horses galloped outside the camp, and the pass order was shown in advance, and the guards of the gate immediately dodged away, and did not dismount until a hundred zhang outside the big tent, this is the rule of the army, no matter how urgent the military affairs, must be dismounted here, otherwise it will be regarded as an enemy attack!

The cavalrymen were obviously tired, and they dismounted and fell to the ground, and were hurriedly lifted up into the big tent by the men beside them.

"My lord is here tonight!" Pang Tong spoke aloud with joy after reading a letter handed over by the sergeant.
