Chapter Forty-Nine: Hurting Heaven and Peace

Liu Biao's army began to launch a fierce siege in the middle of the night, not only the west gate, the south city, the north city, and the east city were all attacked on a large scale, and the battle at night was not as easy as during the day, Cao Ang's defenders suffered more than a thousand battle losses, and under the city wall were piled up with corpses, as well as various siege equipment that were blown up, it was a mess. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Yuan Yun returned to the city wall, he took a bun of buns and sent them to Cao Ang and his lieutenants, when he saw the fierceness of this siege, he no longer had the heart to mess around, this kind of tragic siege battle, not only the number and scope of the previous were several times larger, almost every corner under the city wall was full of enemy heads. The west city wall was even climbed by a small number of enemies several times, and finally Cao Ang personally led the troops to kill, and the heads of those who attacked the city wall were hung on the west city gate at this moment, and beside Yuan Yun, there were also many soldiers defending the city who were hit by arrows, and the lucky ones were only penetrated through the arms and thighs, and the unlucky ones were pierced through the heads.

The soldiers of the medical battalion carried the wounded soldiers down the city wall before dawn, and those thick blood stains from the top of the city wall, across the steps on the city wall, and then extended to the inner city, and the wails resounded through the defender camp in the city, more than 1,000 people were damaged in battle, which has reduced the combat strength of the Xudu defenders by one-eighth.

At this moment, the medical battalion finally played its positive role, in such a hot weather, the wounded soldiers will soon become inflamed, which is the inevitable fate of almost every army fighting in hot weather, but many of the wounded soldiers transported to the medical camp survived, they were cleaned with a nice smell of liquor, and then they were sent to a camp that was too clean, and so on, when they woke up the next day, they were surprised to find that their wounds were not infected, And the Lang Zhong in this medical camp can even save the huge opening, although they are very rude to sew their wounds like sewing clothes, but as long as they can survive, no one will blame them, so in their eyes, the eleven Lang Zhong who stitched up their wounds are simply living miracle doctors.

The besieging Liu Biao's side suffered even more heavy losses, although there was the cover of night, but Cao Ang did not expect to be accurate at all when he commanded the catapult to fire the gunpowder packs, those soldiers in charge of the catapults just threw out the gunpowder bags one by one in a daze, and then watched them explode under the city, and a moment of strong light could immediately shine on the enemy's heads surging and rushing, so they didn't need to aim at all. In addition, the recruits on the wall have already had several experiences in using grenades, and they are basically familiar with the rules of grenades, so they are becoming more and more proficient, which also makes Liu Biao's siege team even more unlucky.

The lieutenant generals roughly counted the corpses under the city, Liu Biao's army lost more than 5,000 people in one night, plus yesterday's daytime battle, Liu Biao's 100,000 army has been consumed nearly 10%. According to normal logical estimates, the besieging side will have at least three times more battle losses than the defending side, but now it is ten times more terrifying, and black powder is the biggest hero.

Looking at the gradually retreating siege army, several lieutenants around Cao Ang were excited, and when they saw Yuan Yun walking to their side, these people hugged their fists and said hello, and now everyone really regarded Yuan Yun as a god.

"I have already sent someone out of the city to contact General Xiahou Yuan, his cavalry should be within a hundred miles of Xu Capital at the moment, but there are only 10,000 of them, and it is unlikely that they will come to save us." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he glanced at the dense enemy army under the city.

Yuan Yun counted the bomb craters that had been blown up, and then asked, "Do we still have enough firearms in our hands?" ”

Cao Ang smiled and replied: "I didn't expect that the other party would have a hundred thousand, and now the ammunition in the reserve has been used up to three or four percent, but the number should be sufficient, the only thing I'm worried about is that most of the soldiers defending the city are some new soldiers, or they won't lose more than a thousand in one night, if there is no gunpowder bullet, I really dare not imagine the consequences." ”

Yuan Yun also laughed twice and said, "Didn't you move all the gunpowder from the river island military village into the city?" Hurry up and let them process and add some points, I'm afraid that then we will not only have to defend the city, but there will be a lot of gunpowder shells that need to be used later. ”

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What else do we have to do besides defend the city?" Brother Yun, what the hell are you trying to do? ”

The lieutenant generals around him are now more and more difficult to understand the dialogue between Cao Ang and Yuan Yun, could it be that now Xu Du can take the initiative in addition to defending the city? This really doesn't make sense, but when I think about the battle of the past two days, the enemy's loss is indeed very huge, and occasionally a few people can climb the wall, which is also very lucky, if it goes on like this, it is strange that Liu Biao does not withdraw the army, after thinking of these, the deputy generals involuntarily moved their eyes to a basket of grenades placed under the battlements, and felt both happy and a little frightened in their hearts, these rumors are all immortal artifacts, and now it seems that it is really extraordinary.

At this time, Yuan Yun pointed to the two high mountains where Liu Biaojun was camping, and continued: "Guo Jiajun's division is really clever, and the enemy has really camped there. ”

Hearing this, Cao Ang also looked at the two high mountains, and then asked, "Is Brother Yun ready to launch now?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "It's still too early, we must contact General Xiahou Yuan first, and then we will launch it, and then cooperate with General Xiahou Yuan's cavalry to sweep a wave, Liu Biao's camp will be dismantled in an instant, and we can harvest." ”

Cao Ang smiled and nodded, and said: "I think the same way, without the cooperation of Uncle Xiahou Yuan's cavalry, we can only achieve a small victory, this I am not reconciled, if I don't beat Liu Biao, I can't turn over within five years, how can I let him understand how powerful I Cao Ang." ”

A group of lieutenant generals listened to the black lines in their minds, and felt that the two people in front of them were estimated to be confused, and now the other party is 100,000, if it weren't for the firearms in their hands, I'm afraid Xu Du would have lost it a long time ago, why now they are saying that they want to defeat the enemy, and they want to make Liu Biao unable to turn over within five years, is it because he hasn't woken up yet? However, looking at the coach Cao Ang and this Yuan Xiaoxian with indifferent looks, they were somewhat ashamed, how to say that they were also veterans on the battlefield, and today they were not as calm as a child.

At this time, Yuan Yun pointed to the stone mines that covered the ground, and then said with a smile: "These stone mines are really powerful, and now the enemy will be frightened and his legs will be weak when they see the stones, which is really funny." ”

Hearing Yuan Yun say this, several lieutenant generals laughed one after another, and swept away their previous worries, these two times to defend the city wall, have ignited a lot of stone mines, and now those enemies who are besieging the city will subconsciously stay away as long as they see stones on the ground, so their current siege formation is very chaotic, and their combat power has naturally decreased a lot.

"There is a harm to the heavens, there is a harm to the heavens! Is this gunpowder technique really a secret art of the Immortal Family? Why is it so cruel? Yuan Yun, you are only fifteen years old, how could your master let you learn such a tyrannical technique, and you are not afraid of losing your life? Alas! It was Xun Yu who spoke, after looking around the city wall, he only felt indescribably uncomfortable in his heart, those stumps that were blown up and flying around, at this moment, they were piled up everywhere under the city wall, and he had never seen such a vicious weapon on any battlefield, so he sighed deeply.

Yuan Yun looked at Xun Yu and walked over with a serious face, somewhat surprised, but soon saw the remnants of the city, and many faces were the same age as him Yuan Yun, so he guessed what Xun Yu meant? But what can be done? Do you want to watch the enemy kill into the city, after coming to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty for so long, he Yuan Yun only understood one truth, that is, to fight violence with violence, only to end this chaotic era earlier, is the real salvation, there has always been a terrible number in the brain, that is, in the Han Empire era the population was 60 million, and by the end of the Three Kingdoms, the total population of the country was only one-tenth, about six million.

This number has always been firmly pressing Yuan Yun, everything he is doing now is to end this chaotic era earlier, for this reason, he doesn't mind what weapon is used, or what kind of means, since slaughtering hundreds of thousands can save tens of millions of people, then this is a good deal.

With a slight salute, Yuan Yun replied: "If this is not the case, those Liu Biao's soldiers will kill in the city, so don't they want to kill more people?" Has Mr. Wen Ruo ever thought about it? ”

Xun Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Feng Xiao has always described this gunpowder technique to me as extremely brutal before, and I thought he exaggerated it, I don't want to see it today to know that this is true, I am not a woman's benevolence, but I always need to leave room for doing things, but this gunpowder technique ...... Alas, I'm worried that Yuan Yun and you and the prince will fall into a brutal reputation. ”

"Infamy, infamy, in such a troubled world, there are a few honest people who can survive, Mr. Wenruo should be the boys willful indulgence, being able to defeat the enemy is the key at the moment, I, Cao Ang, have the responsibility of defending the city, as long as I can keep the city wall and not lose, even if I Cao Ang becomes a devil, why not?" Cao Ang rarely rebelled against someone like Xun Yu like this, it is estimated that he is blocking the gun for Yuan Yun, which has almost become his habit.

When Xun Yu heard Cao Ang's answer, he could only shake his head and sigh secretly, and then without saying much, he slowly walked down the city wall with two entourage.

Yuan Yun looked at the back of Xun Yu leaving, and also sighed secretly, in the later history, Xun Yu eventually became Cao Cao's opponent, and his benevolence may also be part of the reason.

"Report! The scouts sent out have returned. Soon after Xun Yu left, the three sergeants rushed to the city wall.

Cao Ang glanced at the visitors, and then pointed to one of them: "Has General Xiahou Yuan's ambush been contacted?" ”

One of the elderly scouts replied, "We have already connected the head, and we have also seen General Xiahou Yuan himself." ”
