Chapter 390, Zhou Yu's worries
The Han army has not moved, as if everyone is scared and hidden, seeing that there are already dozens of cloud ladders smashed on the city wall, Cao Bing struggled to climb, and after a while, the ladder was full of people, Cao Cao's mouth just had a hint of a smile, suddenly, the sound of killing on the city wall erupted: "Kill——"
Immediately after, countless rolling logs and stones smashed down on the head and face, as if a violent storm suddenly fell, Cao Cao watched the soldiers who climbed the ladder being smashed in an instant, and fell to the ground like dumplings screaming.
"Shoot the arrows."
Xu Huang gave an order, no less than 3,000 archers, quickly bent their bows and arrows, without any hesitation, according to the Cao soldiers under the city is a fierce shot, even if the enemy has a large number of catapults and bed crossbows to cover, the defenders and soldiers do not care, all of them are red-eyed, and they are desperate to greet the city.
Arrows are like flying locusts, pouring down, no need to aim at all, there are people everywhere below, densely packed together, almost piled up, the rain of arrows is shot down in rows, screams come and go, Cao Bing fell to the ground one by one, I don't know how many people were shot alive into hedgehogs.
The first wave of Cao Bing's offensive was easily blocked, Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth angrily, and glanced behind him, Cao Cao personally supervised the battle, no matter what, he couldn't embarrass Cao Cao, even if he paid more casualties, he couldn't be frightened by Zhao Yun.
"Give it to me, keep attacking."
Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and was ruthless, Cao Bing wave after wave, going forward and successively, Zhao Yun was well prepared here, bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones, fire oil, and the soldiers greeted them with their lives, Cao Bing often dared to get close to the city wall, and fell into a pool of blood one by one, and the majestic Tiger Prison Pass was like an insurmountable mountain.
The tense battle lasted from morning to dark, and Cao Cao paid heavy casualties and made no progress, so he had to temporarily stop the attack.
After the battle, the casualties on Zhao Yun's side were quickly counted, with less than a thousand dead and wounded.
Zhao Yun nodded, the result was quite satisfied, he personally went to the wounded barracks to take a look, many people were hit by boulders, broken hands and feet, the injuries were more serious, Zhao Yun frowned, and said to Tong Fei beside him, "Send someone to send them back to Luoyang immediately, and tell Tian Chou that these wounded must be treated as soon as possible." ”
"Yes."
Some people insisted on staying, even though they were badly injured.
"Lord, I'm not here, I can continue to fight the enemy, isn't it just that I broke an arm, it's nothing?"
"I won't leave, I have the strength, the lord let us stay."
Zhao Yun was very moved in his heart, but his expression was extremely cold: "This is an order, we haven't been beaten to a dead end by Cao ** yet, there are many soldiers with skill, you go back to recuperate from your injuries, and let others defend the city for you first." ”
Over the years, following Zhao Yun's side, not only the life of the people in the territory is getting better and better, but the treatment of soldiers is also nothing to say, Zhao Yun treats everyone equally, never despises anyone, even the most ordinary soldier, will be respected and live with dignity.
The treatment of the Han army is the best!
Joining the army in other places, some are just for a full meal, and some are forcibly arrested for themselves, and those people can survive the war even if they are good, and only by living can they receive a small and pitiful - military salary, and even military salary.
Once they died, they were a hundred dead, and with good luck, their families could barely receive a meager pension, and the vast majority of the soldiers' families did not see a penny.
But here in Zhao Yun, even if they unfortunately die in battle, the families of those soldiers will not have any worries, not only will there be a considerable number of death benefits, but the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation can also be properly cared for, whose son died on the battlefield? Whose man died heroically?
This is a great honor, and every fallen soldier will be remembered by everyone.
Since the first day he came to Luoyang, Zhao Yun has been doing his best to improve the status of soldiers, and he has made everyone understand that being a soldier is the most honorable, not just to get a full meal.
A large part of the children in Hanmen Academy are the descendants of the fallen soldiers.
No matter at any time, there is no shortage of hot-blooded men who are not afraid of sacrifice in Zhao Yun's team, Zhao Yun has completely integrated this atmosphere into the bones of the soldiers with practical actions, the old people left, the new people joined, and the people in the team changed wave after wave, but the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice was deeply rooted in the team.
Leading the troops to fight, the main general taking the lead, can indeed greatly boost morale and let the soldiers burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
But this effect is not what Zhao Yun wants, only by fundamentally attaching importance to the soldiers, respecting them, you are good to them, so that they have no worries, and they are naturally willing to work for you.
After taking a turn in the barracks, it was already late at night, Zhao Yun didn't care about eating, and climbed the city wall again.
Xu Huang was in charge of guarding tonight, he was meticulous, and when Zhao Yun came up, he was inspecting the remaining equipment guarding the city.
"How? How many arrows are left? Zhao Yun walked over.
"There are many more, I just checked, and there are 200,000 more."
"Two hundred thousand?"
Zhao Yun nodded, and said half-jokingly, "If you can hit the target, then Cao Cao's 100,000 army will want to go back." ”
Xu Huang also laughed, "Lord, even if Cao Cao attacks day and night, there is nothing to worry about, this is the Tiger Prison Pass, one husband is the pass, and the 100,000 army will not think of taking a step beyond the thunder pool." ”
"You say, wouldn't Cao Cao think of another way? Can he withstand such consumption? ”
Xu Huang shook his head, "I also feel a little strange, as soon as Cao Cao came up, he ordered a fierce attack, this is not like his style, just today at the end of the day, Cao Bing's casualties are no less than 3,000 people, if it goes on like this, it has to break the muscles and bones." ”
According to Zhao Yun's understanding of Cao Cao, he would never be so decisive, if he temporarily camped, did not move, and confronted Zhao Yun in the Tiger Prison Pass for a few days, this is easy to understand, if the war on Yuan Shao's side goes well, Cao Cao will order to attack the Tiger Prison Pass if it is profitable, but now, Cao Cao doesn't seem to care about the situation on Yuan Shao's side at all, and he wants to fight with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun pondered hard, could it be that Cao Cao really let go this time, and did not hesitate to put all his troops here.
At this moment, Cao Cao's Chinese army marshal tent was brightly lit, and Cao Cao was discussing with several strategists.
What is surprising is that Cheng Yu is not inside, Guo Jia is half lying and half lying, leaning comfortably on the table, and at this tense moment, he is still holding a wine jug in his hand.
