Chapter 109: A Tragic Siege Battle

The doctor left, Cao Cao looked around the hall, focusing on Xun You, Guo Jia and others, "The first battle was lost, and our strategy has been exposed, and there is not much time left for us, so you can have a good plan to break through the tiger prison quickly!" ”

"Lord, at the end of tomorrow, I will be willing to meet Qin Qiong first!" Today's siege was preempted by Le Jin and Xu Chu, Dian Wei was angry, he couldn't bear it, and flashed out from behind Cao Cao.

"Qin Qiong is very fierce, the lord still transferred Xiahou Yuan from Guangwu City back, let's attack the city together tomorrow!" Xun You suggested.

Glancing at Xun You, Dian Wei said angrily: "Don't underestimate others, see if I capture Qin Qiong alive tomorrow!" ”

This general's temperament is so fiery, Xun You hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "It's not that I underestimate the general, but that Qin Qiong defeated Le Jin first and then defeated Xu Chu, if the general is defeated again, the lord will have no one available!" ”

After listening to Xun You's words, Dian Wei's anger rose slowly, and his beard was all open, "The military advisor looks down on people, so he will make a military order here, if you can't capture and kill Qin Qiong tomorrow, come and see you!" ”

"There is no need to set up a military order, just need to keep an eye on Qin Qiong tomorrow!" Xun You smiled slightly, with a great sense of success.

"Humph!" Dian Wei's snort moved slightly, glanced at Xun You, and returned to Cao Cao.

How did Cao Cao, who sat at the top, not know Xun You's radical strategy, Lejin was defeated, Xu Chu was wounded, only Dian Wei in Cao's army could resist Qin Qiong, if Dian Wei was defeated again, morale plummeted, how to fight this battle?

Therefore, there is Xun You's previous method of agitation, one is to boost morale, and the other is to make Dian Wei realize his importance tomorrow.

"Immediately order Xiahou Yuan of Guangwu City to return immediately!" After thinking about it, Cao Cao also agreed to Xun You's proposal, today's battle casualties are quite large, and there is only one general left who can recruit the general who is used to fighting, and transferring Xiahou Yuan can make up for some losses. Xiahou Yuan originally went north to confuse Yang Shuo, but now that the two sides are grabbing a single time, there is no longer any need to leave Xiahou Yuan in Guangwu City.

"Whoa!" The herald was given the order to go.

After giving the order, Cao Cao asked again: "I'm afraid it's not satisfactory to rely on Dian Wei and Miaocai to take the lead in the battle, what other suggestions do you have?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao said that, Xun You stood up, "I look at today's military situation, the Tiger Prison Pass has more than 10,000 people at most, and tomorrow the lord can make people take turns to attack, and after eliminating his sharpness, he will be able to go down!" ”

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Guo Jia, who was standing with his hands hanging on the side, "Feng Xiao has a proposal?" ”

"Gongda's strategy is great, take turns to attack, and wait for Yang Shuo's morale to be low, supplemented by the elite with a bang, the tiger prison is not difficult to break!" Guo Jiadao.

"Good!" Cao Cao was also full of confidence, and immediately stood up, "According to Gongda's plan, I will personally supervise the battle tomorrow!" ”

"Whoa!"

The audience was full of passion.

The next morning, it was just dawning.

Under the Tiger Prison, the sound of horns and war drums suddenly sounded, and the Tiger Prison Pass, which had been silent all night, ushered in a noisy day again, the swords and swords, the armor was forested, the pennant surged, the wind and clouds surged, and the atmosphere in the air became solemn and smashed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

In this passionate drum music, a group of Cao soldiers lined up in a neat square formation, and slowly advanced towards the Tiger Prison Pass with Cao Cao's handsome banner in front of them.

"General, the Cao army has begun to attack the city again!" The tiger prison closed the cold city wall with his hand, looking at the Cao soldiers who were overwhelmed by the black pressure under the gate, the adjutant general's face was quite solemn, Cao Cao was just a test yesterday, and today I am afraid that the highlight is coming.

"We have 10,000 male soldiers, and there is even more danger of the tiger prison, and Cao manipulates tens of millions of soldiers and horses, so why be afraid! Moreover, the news has been spread yesterday, and the lord is not far from here, so he will inevitably lead a large army to reinforce, so you only need to defend the city with peace of mind! Qin Qiong suddenly opened his mouth loudly to boost morale, his words were fierce, and all the soldiers were excited, and their morale was high.

Cao's army attacked very quickly, and when it advanced under the city wall, it first shot a burst of strong bows at the wall, and then immediately erected rows of ladders, regardless of life and death, and swarmed up along the ladders.

"Kill!"

Under the pass, Cao Jun brandished a big sword and a round shield and braved the rain of arrows, the boiling water that poured down, and the heavy rolling stones and falling wood, and was pierced by long arrows if he was not careful, and was scalded into a white-skinned pig by the boiling water.

What's more, a basin of hot oil poured down, a torch followed closely, and suddenly a raging fire broke out under the city wall, and none of Cao Jun, who was contaminated with hot oil, was instantly engulfed by the fire, screaming, and roaring endlessly.

Some Cao Jun had just climbed up the ladder to mid-air and were pushed out of the wall by the soldiers of Yang Shuojun who had been waiting for a long time with their halberds, and fell down from a height of five or six zhang, almost no one could open their eyes, and the arrows that kept shooting down also wantonly harvested the lives of Cao Jun's soldiers.

The war is in full swing, the sound of the war horn is still so intense, and the corpses left under the city pass are gradually rising, ...... hundred, two hundred, three hundred, and the number continues to expand, but there are also more Cao soldiers stepping on the corpses of their comrades to go forward one after another, and move forward bravely.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, Cao's army did not have time to attack desperately with casualties, and the casualties of the defending soldiers were also increasing day by day, and more of the non-stop attacks made the defending soldiers physically and mentally exhausted.

I didn't have time to drink a sip of water, I didn't have time to eat a little food, and while carrying the arrows, rolling stones, and fallen logs from the castle tower to the castle tower, I had to keep getting them to the bottom of the castle tower, busy and mechanically repeating the same action.

Qin Qiong waved his double gong and calmly commanded the soldiers to counterattack, arrows flew all over the sky, Cao soldiers desperately attacked the city, and the soldiers of Yang Shuo's army on the city desperately picked up the rolling stones and smashed the falling trees down.

Because he was not prepared to storm the Tiger Pass, the siege equipment temporarily made by the Cao army could not wield its power, and only some ladders and rushing cars were simply made, so for the counterattack of Yang Shuojun on the city tower, there was only a continuous upward shooting of bows and arrows, so a large part of the arrows that fell also fell on the bodies of the Cao army's soldiers, so only the two armies shot arrows at each other for a period of time, and then only Yang Shuojun continued to stretch his bow and pull arrows on the wall to harvest Cao's army.

The tragedy of the war is beyond everyone's imagination, and the tenacity of the Cao army is even more unbelievable to Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong roughly estimated that in just one morning of siege warfare, Yang Shuo's army suffered two thousand casualties, which was greater than the losses of the whole day yesterday, and the casualties of the Cao army were even greater, plus in the afternoon, Qin Qiong could use less than 6,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the reinforcements of the lord had not yet arrived, and the situation seemed to be quite unfavorable.
