When the army arrived at the foot of Yangcheng, it did not make any temptation, but launched it directly

It stands to reason that the two sides should have had some brief contact, such as greetings, calling for battles, and other actions. /。 ｑb５、cｏm//

But Cao Cao did not do this, but attacked directly.

Cao Cao wrote a book, originally wanting Dong Li to return the bodies of Sun Jian and others. This was originally a very normal thing, but it was rejected by Dong Li.

In Dong Li's words: Do you want Sun Jian's corpse? Break through Yang, I can give you my corpse along with Sun Jian's corpse. If you don't have the ability to break Yang, don't talk so much nonsense, go back to your hometown and go to your hometown. A loser must have the consciousness of a loser, and what qualifications do you have to ask me for what you want?

This is said very viciously, and there is no trace of affection.

Who were the Kwantung princes? is not a celebrity, or a family from a family, and this is the face.

Kaoru said it so desperately that the Kwantung princes were annoyed and angry. shouted one by one, they were going to break through Yangcheng.

The flag fluttering in the wind is particularly eye-catching in the sun.

|.|methods of defense.

To be precise, the entire city defense is divided into three parts: the barren circle, the warning circle and the city defense circle.

Within 30 miles of Yang is a barren circle, which implements strict tactics of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and even puts poison into the well water.

Within ten miles of entering Yang, it is the warning circle.

At this time, the men and horses of the Kwantung Coalition Army were concentrated in the cordon.

Huge defensive equipment such as bed crossbows and obstacles outside the city were erected on the castle, as well as obstacles outside the castle within range of bows and arrows. All bulldozed.

This is done to clear the shooting angle and blind spots of the line of sight.

Fifteen paces below the city. It's a moat. There are about three people deep, and the water is covered with embroidered thorns. Behind the moat, there was a low wall. Named Feng, he piled up countless flammable materials to obstruct the view of the coalition forces. After Feng, there was also a horse rejection belt about five paces wide, which was used to hinder the enemy's approach to the city wall. After that, it is about five steps close to the city wall, and there are wooden stakes with dogs' teeth intertwined. It is also used to prevent enemy troops from climbing the city and assassinating the place where they fell.

The defense of the entire yang can be said to be distinct.

Especially since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Yang, as one of the granaries of the Yang region, has been strengthened in its defenses.

Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao led the men and horses of his headquarters and launched the first round of attacks on Xiangyang.

Strangely, Yangchengtou was silent, until the Guangling army was about to force into the trench, when suddenly a strange horn sound came from inside the city. Immediately after, there were countless strange sounds. Strange black dots were launched from the city, and they fell towards the city. Those black dots are all thistles, after rolling twice on the ground. Immediately nailed to the ground.

The Guangling army, who was caught off guard, stepped on the thistles everywhere with one foot, and the sharp thorns penetrated the surface of the foot. Bloody.

The neat formation became scattered.

Tribulus terrestris is different from sharp arrows, and shield-bearers cannot resist them. The most infuriating thing is that if there is an ambush on the ground early, then it is easy to deal with, but such a sudden throw from the city makes the attacking side not advance or retreat.

At the same time, the sound of gongs was heard above the city.

There was only a buzzing sound, as if a locust was passing through the sky, and a black cloud fell from the city.

"Be careful, be careful......"

With a shout, the shieldbearer habitually set up his shield to defend against the arrows.

However, the arrows were powerful and heavy, unlike ordinary bows and arrows, all of them were three feet six inches long and the thickness of the little finger.

With unparalleled penetration, it hit the shield, constantly penetrating the wooden shield, and even more shattering the shield. The shield-bearers in the first row, before they could react, were pinned to the ground. Screams echoed in the air.

Crossbow ......

Zhang Chao couldn't help but exclaim, wanting Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

This crossbow has appeared since the Warring States period, and Qiang Qin relied on its strong crossbow blade to sweep the six countries. But it is also strange to say that since the Han Dynasty, especially since Emperor Wu, the use of crossbows has gradually become scarce, or even declined.

The reason for this is related to the situation of the enemy at that time.

The enemies of the Han Dynasty mainly come from the grasslands. Whether it is a crossbow or a bed crossbow, this kind of sharp weapon used for siege is relatively reduced. In their place, lighter crossbow bolts were used for more flexible combat.

No one thought that Yang would have so many crossbows and bed crossbows.

Only one round of arrows completely exposed the Guangling army to the bow and arrows. Following the rain of arrows, the Guangling army, which had lost its protection, was almost completely wiped out under the Yang City. Even if someone was lucky enough to escape, it was drenched in blood and covered in wounds.

To be precise, a few thousand soldiers and horses are nothing to the Kwantung princes.

However, the shock caused by it made the princes silent for a long time.

Cao Cao bit his lip and said with a wry smile: "Dong Xiping is really a good means. A few words infuriated everyone and cut off our retreat. It seems that he has all the preparations, presumably even if we lay the yang, we will not be able to enter again. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, but did not speak.

He and the Iraqi nationality were under the umbrella of the Chinese army, looking at the tragic situation on the battlefield.

Dead bodies everywhere are displayed outside the city. The red blood seemed to tell the princes that they wanted to take it

, you have to show some skills. Unconsciously in front of Xi Zhicai's eyes. An ugly face.

"Can anyone tell me what Dong Xiping used to throw out the thistle?"

Kong Rong couldn't help but ask the princes.

Tao Qian smiled bitterly: "The rock-throwing cart should be a stone-throwing car...... I didn't expect Dong Xiping to take out these ancient things for such a use, but they had such an effect. Fortunately, the catapult could only reach a maximum of 70 paces, which allowed the well to cover and advance in a hurry, first filling in the moat. This time, when my Xuzhou army fights, how about it? ”

When the princes heard this, they all nodded in unison.

Xi Zhicai frowned, faintly feeling. I'm afraid that Tao Qian may not succeed.

The height of the well is about half the height of the lead. If you convert it to a height, it is about 10 meters or more, which is slightly more than an ordinary city wall.

However, the walls of Yangcheng are thick. The well can only be flat.

Pulled by oxen, the carts slowly drove out of the coalition formation. Above the well, there are archers, all of whom can pull up two stone bows and control the strings. Stop when you are still a few dozen steps away from the moat and suppress the archers in the city with your bow.

Immediately after, the cart set out. The Xuzhou army followed Yu Yiyi and attacked Xiangyang again.

—

The strange horn sounded again, and Dong Li stood on the city tower, looking at the approaching Kwantung coalition army, showing a strange smile.

Sure enough, the Kwantung coalition underestimated his stone-throwing vehicle.

Behind the city wall, rows of stone-throwing carts are parked. There are hundreds of them.

These stone-throwing carts were researched by Pu Yuan according to the records in the "Examination Records", and improved by him and Ma Jun, and their distances can cover a range of 280 steps. Thunderbolt, this is the name given by Kaoru to the stone-throwing car.

Remember Cao Cao's battle at Guandu. For the first time, I used a thunderbolt car flexibly.

It's just that I can't remember who contributed to the Thunderbolt, but today. Dong Li decided to use a thunderbolt car to make Cao Cao look good.

With a loud roar from Wu Anguo under the city, it collapsed, and after countless strange sounds, the boulder flew out of the city from the thunderbolt car.

Stones like rain crashed on the well.

The wells were smashed to the ground, and the cows wailed, and were hit by the stones, and the flesh was blurred.

The soldiers who followed him were smashed and paralyzed on the ground, along with the carts. The stones rained down, and the wails came and went.

The bed crossbow fired another round of fire, completely destroying the siege equipment on the battlefield.

Xi Zhicai said softly: "Lord, don't fight anymore today, the morale of the army is low, and if you continue to fight, you will be sent to death." Why don't you fix it on the spot, wait for us to discuss the specific plan, and then attack Yang, how about it? ”

The princes have been defeated in successive battles, how can they be in the mood to continue fighting?

Tao Qian and Zhang Chao lost their troops, although they were unwilling, they also understood that what Xi Zhicai said was right.

If you continue to fight, you can only be sent to death!

At that moment, Cao Cao ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and hastily ended the first day of the battle. The corpses on the battlefield were all over the field, and the bloody corpses that were smashed by the stones, with the wind, diffused the thick bloody gas in the sky, which made people feel cold.

According to the rules, someone will clean up the battlefield after the war.

Kaoru didn't stop him this time, but just ordered the soldiers in the city to be on guard.

As the corpses of the flesh and blood were blurred and the limbs were piled up, weeping was heard from the coalition forces.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the princes passed the buck and blamed each other.

Cao Cao really couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply took Xi Zhicai and Yi nationality, accompanied by Xu Chu and Hu Che'er, and walked out of the camp.

Naturally, there was a pro-army behind him, led by Cao Hong.

Cao Cao looked at Yangcheng in the night and felt a burst of bitterness in his mouth.

Xi Zhicai's eyes were scorching, and after Cao Cao surrounded Yang for a week, his heart suddenly moved, and he had a little plan.

Back at the camp, Xi Zhicai pulled Yi and muttered to him.

Cao Cao beat his spirits, inspected the camp, and comforted the soldiers. It was not until the time had passed that he returned to his tent.

Unexpectedly, Xi Zhicai and others were in the tent.

Not only Xi Zhicai and Yi, but also Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Li Dian and other military generals are also waiting in the big tent.

"Sir, is there something wrong with this late hour?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Just now I was patrolling Yang with my lord, but I found something interesting. Therefore, Ji Bo and others made a sand table pattern of Yang overnight, and came to relieve their worries with the lord...... Uncle Ji, it's up to you to explain. ”

Yi Yuan nodded and lifted the sand table on the table of the Eight Immortals in the center of the big tent.

"Look, lord...... This is the general pattern of yang, what do you see? ”

Yangcheng on the sand table is very rough, but the basic outline has been presented. Cao Cao frowned, walked to the Eight Immortals table, looked at it for a long time, shook his head lightly, and said, "It doesn't seem to be anything special." Sir, you should explain. ”

Xi Zhicai and Yi Yuan smiled slightly, "Just now Ji Bo and I went to investigate again, Yang is the belt of the Eastern Capital, the throat of Sanqin, and the location of the city is extremely dangerous. There are Huai Shui, the water moat, and there are the dangers of Pishan and Songyue, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, it is also because of the topography. The water is low-lying. This makes the southern wall slightly lower than the other three. ”

Cao Cao observed carefully, nodded lightly, and said, "How can there be?" ”

"The water is flooding all the time. It often causes yang

And that's why. In other words, the southern city is relatively weak, not as strong as other cities, and unbreakable. “

Xu Chu kept playing riddles to Yi and Xi Zhicai. Very dissatisfied.

"Mr. Jibo, if you have anything to say, can you just say it? That's what you scholars are instigating. If you want me to say, fart yang. Make an appointment with Naxun Xiping and have a competition. If I kill him with a knife when the time comes, wouldn't it be within reach? ”

Xu Chu is not convinced, but it doesn't mean that the people in the tent all think like this.

Xiahou Yuan snorted, "Zhong Kang said lightly. Are you so sure you can defeat Dong Xiping? What if I lose? ”

Cao Cao also said: "Zhong Kang must not be rude. I know you want to fight Xiping, but ......"

The implication is: I'm afraid you'll lose!

was so angry that Xu Chu jumped like thunder, but Xi Zhicai and the others threw him aside and ignored him anymore.

Xi Zhicai said: "I plan to storm Nancheng. But it also needs others to hold back Dong Xiping's forces on three sides. This comes at a great cost and can even arise. Even if we can capture Yang, we don't have the strength to move westward into Yang. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "If you can't go west, you can't go west, and we just want to deter the sun." Being able to lay the foundation is a big victory. At the beginning, the Northern Route Army was blocked in Chenggao, and if we and other coalition forces did not win a victory, I was afraid that they would become the laughing stock of others in the future. I will gather all of you and attack the sun. ”

******

The next day, the coalition forces launched a desperate assault.

Wave after wave of offensives, day and night, are attacking the sun.

The coalition army handed over all the soldiers and horses to Cao Cao's command, and Cao Cao was even more ruthless, ordering that if Yang was attacked, the whole army could plunder for three days. Under this tremendous stimulation and temptation, Yangcheng was under tremendous pressure on all sides.

Especially in the south of the city, the pressure is the greatest!

The coalition army transferred almost all the elite men and horses to Nancheng, and then attacked from all directions, holding Dong Li's troops to the death.

Jia Xu saw the intentions of the coalition forces, but he didn't have any way.

Xi Zhicai is clear, that is, he wants to attack Nancheng. But this is an upright conspiracy, but it can't be cracked.

Xun Yu personally sat in Nancheng and handed over the command of the other three cities to Jia Xu.

But even if only the three cities were facing huge pressure, Jia Xu felt very difficult.

It can be seen that the coalition forces are playing with their lives!

The princes have also made their old mistakes, and this is not the time to preserve their strength.

As Cao Cao said, if there is no achievement at all, then the entire Kwantung Alliance will never have the face to meet again.

Under the day and night onslaught regardless of the blood, progress has finally been made.

On the 10th, as the moat was filled in, Feng Yuan was destroyed, and all the traps and traps such as the horse belt were burned clean.

However, despite the onslaught of the coalition forces, they were never able to move forward.

|+|: It is a dark red color all over.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the flags on the city's top were in tatters.

Coagulated blood was hung from the walls, and from time to time flesh could be seen mixed in them. Walking on the top of the castle, you can hear the sound of rustling as if stepping into the water. The coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, and similarly, Yang paid a huge price.

Hundreds of rubbish trucks have been damaged and can no longer be repaired.

The bed crossbow arrows were also depleted, and could only be used as an ornament......

The situation in the southern city guarded by Dong Li was even more sinister. With the continuous wear and tear of defensive equipment, from the beginning of the shooting, to the later hand-to-hand combat. The coalition army climbed the city several times, and was beaten down by Xun Yu several times, which can be described as extremely tragic.

During this period, there was a shortage of arrows.

Later, Hao Zhao came up with an idea.

"My lord, when I was a child, I heard an old man say something. Boiling manure and adding poisons such as arsenic can be very lethal. The old people said that this method was used a long time ago, but then it was lost because it was too vicious...... Nowadays we should not lose too many arrows, but people always have to eat and drink Lazar. ”

This idea sounds very disgusting.

But if it really works, it doesn't seem to be bad.

Kaoru immediately asked people to collect the feces in the ditch, and collected all the poisonous drugs in the pharmacy.

For a while, a foul smell filled the sky over Yangcheng.

Kaoru even choked on the smell and vomited for a while, but slowly, she got used to it.

This kind of thing, which Hao Zhao called gold juice, is very vicious. In the cauldron of the city, there is a boiling difference between day and night. There is a special person who uses a big spoon, and once the coalition army attacks the city, he will wave it down one by one. The hot gold juice dripping on a person's body will not only cause burns, but also corrode the skin and aggravate the condition of the injured person.

The worst thing is that after being splashed with gold juice, the wound cannot be recovered.

Even the doctors in the army were helpless about such a situation and sighed for a long time......
