Chapter 135: Lu Bu's Night Attack!
It had been two days since Lu Bu personally attacked the city last time, and after Wang Yue joined the battlefield, he brought three hundred apprentices and six innate level disciples from his sword hall training period.
After Wang Yue joined, Lu Bujiu couldn't attack the city wall, and he was already angry and wanted to cut down all the generals under his command.
The eastern county city survived another day under the strong attack of Lu Bu's army, and most of the original 8,000 defenders have been killed or wounded. At this time, there were less than 4,000 able-bodied soldiers left in the eastern county. Moreover, among these 4,000 people, there are still hundreds of young people in the city who have been temporarily recruited in the past few days.
Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the Dongjun City will only have two days to defend at most, if Cao Cao's troops have not arrived in Yanzhou the day after tomorrow, the Dongjun City is estimated to really change hands.
Cao Hong is now sitting in the Dongjun City Tower, looking at the book of soldiers, and last night Lu Bu launched a night siege for the first time.
After a hard night battle, although in the end there was no danger and successfully defended the city, it also reminded everyone in the city that Lu Bu was going to play for his life.
However, this is also normal, the defenders of Dongjun are anxious, Lu Bu is even more anxious, and the defenders of Dongjun are anxious, hoping that Cao Cao can lead the army back to Yanzhou as soon as possible.
And Lu Bu was anxious to capture Dongjun before Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, Cao Cao and Tao Qian made peace, and now the news that he was leading the army to rush back had spread, no wonder Lü Bu was so anxious that he ignored the fatigue of the soldiers and attacked the city overnight.
With the first time, there will be a second time, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, have long discussed that the defenders will be divided into two divisions, each patrolling the middle of the night, Cao Hong's department is responsible for the guards in the first half of the night, and Xiahoudun's department is responsible for the second half of the night.
Alas, it's just a pity for these soldiers, not only do they have to deal with the endless offensives of Lü Bu's army during the day, but they also have no rest at night, and they have to be ready for battle at any time.
"General Qiyu! Lu Bu is coming!! ”
Just as Cao Hong was thinking wildly, a personal guard hurriedly ran over.
Hearing the news, Cao Hong hurriedly put on his armor and ran out with a weapon.
"Zhang Gui, go and order the archers to prepare! Bai Ying, lead a hundred people to move the wood! Ni Shen, quickly take someone to bring up the boiling oil that has just been prepared! ”
Cao Hong concentrated on arranging the city defense, and since hearing the news of the enemy attack, Cao Hong's momentum has changed dramatically. At this moment, his whole person exuded an aura of resoluteness, fearlessness, and decisiveness, which was completely inconsistent with the appearance of a ruffian and hooligan when he scolded Lu Bu before.
Although the torches were lit, it was still a little unrealistic in the dark night. However, there is no doubt that at this time, under the city of Dongjun, there is a wild current rushing towards the direction of the city wall.
Cao Hong was on top of the city tower, looking at the wild current under the city, and he couldn't help but gasp. Lu Bu is working harder than last night.
In the fierce battle for several days, although Lü Bu's army also suffered a lot of losses, there were still about 22,000 combatable soldiers in his army. And tonight, Lu Bu put in the siege of the city at one time, and Cao Hong could determine that it was no less than 20,000 based on his visual inspection in the dark night.
Cao Hong stood at the head of Dongjun City, his expression was very serious. Although there has always been a gap in the number of defenders in the city and Lü Bu's army, Lü Bu's army attacked the city before.
They were always divided into several teams, and they took turns attacking in batches, and there was never a time when the whole army poured out in one fell swoop like tonight. Now there were less than 3,000 defenders in the city, and more than 20,000 enemy troops.
"Quick! Invite General Xiahou over! "The current situation is obviously not something that I can handle alone. Lu Bu had completely lost his patience and decided to make a desperate bet tonight.
However, in other words, as long as it can survive tonight, no, as long as it can survive this wave of offensives, Lü Bu's army will no longer have the strength to attack the city, at least for a short time.
But can it really go so well? This is undoubtedly a big gamble, whether it is for Lu Bujun or Cao Jun.
The offensive and defensive battles in the eastern county have been going on for a long time, and the walls are no longer as strong as before. Lu Bu poured all his strength into Kedong County at this time. gram, then Yanzhou; If you don't do it, you will lose all your efforts.
Xiahoudun hurriedly came to the city tower and led his troops to the city, looking at the wild current surging under the city in the dark night, and his heart kept beating drums.
"Lu Bu, is that guy crazy?"
Xiahoudun scolded indignantly.
"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but if he does decide to attack the city, I'm afraid we'll be crazy."
Cao Hong could only respond to Xiahoudun's words with a wry smile.
"Attack!" Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd and pointed to the Dongjun city wall in front of him. Under the light of the torches around him, his face looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
Generally speaking, few generals choose to attack the city head-on at night, because the difficulty and danger of attacking a city at night are several times more difficult and dangerous than that of a siege during the day.
You can't expect soldiers to hold torches in one hand and climb ladders with one hand, can you? And although the defenders of the city can't really see it, even if they just close their eyes and shoot their bows indiscriminately under the city, there will always be a few arrows that can be stuck in the enemy's body.
However, Lü Bu had no choice, and he received a report yesterday that Cao Cao's army had entered Yanzhou and recovered several cities.
It is estimated by the speed of its march. I'm afraid that I will be able to reach Puyang City tomorrow, and if I can't take Dongjun tonight, I will have to consider leading the army to withdraw into Puyang.
Otherwise, once Puyang is lost, and he is alone in the wilderness, then Cao Cao's army and the defenders of Dongjun will be in a corner attack, and the whole army will really die without a place to be buried.
Countless ladders were erected on the walls of Dongjun, and Lü Bu's army began a difficult siege battle. And the Cao army in the city also did not dare to relax in the slightest, and the wooden rolling stones were thrown off the city wall one after another.
Although after several days of defensive battles, the amount of sassal wood and rolling stones was consumed, but fortunately, Cao Hong had made sufficient preparations in advance, so the savings on the city wall were still enough.
But even after repelling groups of soldiers, Lu Bu's army continued to storm the walls of Dongjun City desperately.
"The first to ascend the city will be promoted to the fifth level, given 2,000 gold, and crowned the marquis!"
Lu Bu roared as loudly as he could.
"The first to ascend the city will be promoted to the fifth level, given 2,000 gold, and crowned the marquis!"
The soldiers around Lu Bu also shouted and screamed hard.
The shouts drifted through the night sky, spreading Lu Bu's orders throughout the army. Inspired by such a generous reward, the three armed forces were greatly excited! There were even some soldiers who rushed to the front, their eyes shining with incomparably hot light.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"I'm on the top of the city! I was the first to climb the East County Town! Lao Tzu is a general! Lao Tzu is a liehou! "After a soldier of the Lu Bu Army was the first to ascend to the top of Dongjun City, he was so excited that he shouted and shouted there alone.
Unfortunately, just the next moment, a spear pierced his chest. However, when the soldier died, his face still showed a look of great excitement.
As long as there is the first, there will be a second, a third...... I saw more and more soldiers ascending to the head of the East County City one after another.
"Hold on! Resist me! Xiahoudun shouted loudly. However, things often do not go according to people's will, and the enemy's offensive is gradually becoming more violent.
Although the equipment for defending the city such as bows and arrows, sassal wood, rolling stones, and boiling oil was still complete, and they were thrown under the city wall without interruption, the losses caused to Lu Bu's army were also quite large.
Half an hour has passed since Lu Bu gave the order to attack. In this half an hour, the number of people lost by Lu Bu's army one after another has reached 1,000 people.
But at the same time, the pressure on the eastern county is becoming more and more intense. The offensive of Lü Bu's army has not been slightly reduced by the stubborn resistance of the city, and now nearly 100 Lü Bu soldiers have climbed to the head of Dongjun City.
"Drink!" Xiahoudun swept away with his sword, and several enemy soldiers were killed.
However, before he could withdraw his broadsword, three swords stabbed at him from different directions.
"Ants, let me all die!" Xiahoudun was furious, and a big knife danced vigorously, and the three enemy soldiers who were about to commit the attack were directly hacked to death.
"Ahhhhh
After killing these three people, Xiahoudun still couldn't vent the anger in his chest. I saw that he grabbed it with his left hand, and with his right hand he set up a ladder set up beside him, and pushed the ladder under the city wall with all his strength.
"Ahh
More than a dozen screams rang out at the same time, followed by a smashed ladder and more than a dozen corpses smashed from the ground from the sky.
