Chapter 279: Siege Battle

On the third day, Xu Dayan also saw the doorway, and knew that Yuan Xi was agitating the general, so he clamored to attack again. For two days in a row, he was the only one in the entire people's army, and the others only had a share, which made him very happy in his chest, and he even had to hold his head high when he walked. No, those people outside the city who are not afraid of death have come to scold again, and he is also anxious to kill for a while.

However, Yuan Xi didn't laugh with him this time, but said, "Zhang Liao won't let you kill it so easily this time." ”

"How?"

"People are on guard, you have stolen it twice in a row, and others are still watching you kill. When you go out this time, there must be an ambush. ”

Xu Dayan was unimpressed: "Didn't there be an ambush yesterday?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Yesterday it was obvious, although it was an ambush, it was only a number of people, today is different, it still looks like a few people, but obviously the battle is different." ”

The two of them were standing on the city wall at this time, and through the female wall, Yuan Xi pointed down, but Xu looked at it with big eyes, but he didn't feel so mysterious.

Yuan Xi patted him and said, "Take a break today......

Xu Dayan was depressed, but Zhang Liao was even more depressed.

Today, I led people to guard the side, and basically brought out all the soldiers and horses in the camp. As long as 51,100 people come out of Nanpi City as they did yesterday and outflank the back road, these people will be considered trapped outside the city, and if Nanpi City wants to save this part of the people, the whole army must be dispatched. In this way, it will turn into a complete melee outside the city, which is quite beneficial to the besieging side.

Who knew that he had laid an ambush and calculated the time, just like the previous two days, after waiting for about half a day, the people in the city should also be dispatched, but there was no one left, but there was no figure. There was only the whistling of the wind, and the flags at the head of the city were hunting.

"Reportβ€”"

Suddenly, someone ran towards Zhang Liao in ambush and shouted, "The camp has been attacked by someone......

Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "What person? How many? Although he went out of his nest, the defense he left behind was still very systematic, and in a short period of time, he would never be without the power to resist.

"It's cavalry, there are five hundred of them, and they threw torches as soon as they came, and now they are all about to burn."

Zhang Liao's face immediately became solemn, the autumn was dry, and the wind helped the fire, it was really difficult to say. He hurriedly greeted his brother, who had been in ambush for a long time, and his hands and feet were numb from the cold: "Go back for reinforcements quickly." ”

As a result, at this time, the drums at the head of the city sounded, the gate of Nanpi City opened, and Xu Dayan led the troops under his command to kill them with their teeth and claws.

The people who had laid the ambush in advance stopped doing it, and they squatted here for a long time, didn't they just wait for these rabbit cubs to come out, and now seeing the arrogant appearance of the other party, they asked for battle. But Zhang Liao weighed the pros and cons, and still issued an order, commanded some people to resist for a while, and led most of the troops to come back to help.

Xu Dayan killed again this time, I don't know why, today's gang of scolding and fighting is still more than yesterday, and the people who ambushed on both sides are gone, looking up and looking forward, you can still see the flags that can't help but go away, and it seems that they are so afraid that they have fled. This made him very proud: "Look, it's only been a few days, and the other party is afraid of us." ”

The troops responsible for resisting did not last long, and as soon as they gave the order, they collectively turned their heads and ran, and the losses were very heavy, causing the city to be thunderous.

Zhang Liao led the people back to the camp, but he didn't even feel the shadow of an enemy army, only to see that the camp was already on fire, and with them, they had no power to return to the sky. As a last resort, I had to go all out to rescue valuables and carry heavy grain and grass.

In the evening, when the fire had died down, they had no place to live, so they retreated thirty miles and set up camp again.

After two days, Xu Dayan could no longer see the people who came to the city to scold the war, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But looking at Yuan Xi, he still inspected the city every day, instructing his subordinates to collect materials and prepare for defensive siege battles.

After more than ten days like this, the black-pressed Cao Jun finally appeared in the field of vision.

This time, it is not Zhang Liao's "Zhang" character flag, but a variety of hundreds of surname flags, all surnames, a total of more than 20. They assembled at a distance below the city, then lined up and slowly pressed forward.

This time, Xu Dayan didn't take the initiative to ask for his life, he heard the noise outside at the city gate, and he already knew that it was not a problem that his five hundred people could solve.

The siege battle turned to begin, and under the continuous flow of arrows, Cao Jun began to rush forward with his shield in hand, and then the ladder was beautifully set up on the wall, without any delay.

The head of Nanpi City also took action immediately, and no one spoke, but the rolling stones were thrown down one by one, and with the screams, the corpses under the city also accumulated more and more.

Immediately the city sounded a warning sound, Cao Jun not only in the south city wall, the east city wall and the west city wall also immediately began to be attacked, it seems that this time Cao Cao also put in enough money, not stingy with human life at all.

In the end, the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the Cao army finally withdrew its troops, and after the oppressive siege ended, the Nanpi defenders also felt a little relieved.

After the battle, Yuan Xi walked quickly to the east city gate, and as he walked, he gave orders to his subordinates: "Count the casualties, and replenish the number of reserves." Is the statistical report on the material situation ready? ”

After half a day of back and forth, although there were casualties on the Nanpi side, compared with the besieging side, the losses were obviously less, but the materials for defending the city were consumed a lot.

The General Staff Headquarters also began to study the plan for defending the city day and night, but the atmosphere was very tense after a night without saying a word. As far as Yuan Xi himself is concerned, it is also the first time for such a large-scale city attack and defense battle.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Jun didn't talk nonsense, and began to press on it vigorously as he did yesterday. Among them, the Lejin troops with the word "music" rushed particularly quickly, relying on ants to attack the city several times, and killed the city, but they were immediately beaten down by the defenders at the head of the city.

On the third day, the reserve of stones was already less than thirty percent, and Yuan Xi ordered to save some money. On the fourth day, the arrows were also insufficient. Originally, these materials were going to last for half a month, but they would be used up in less than three or four days, which shows that the Cao army is also attacking the city very fiercely. Not only are the soldiers not afraid of death, but the generals are also very resolute in supervising the battle.

So Yuan Xi ordered people to set up a boiling pot, began to boil a large pot of boiling water, and then poured the boiling water down, greatly delaying the speed of the siege.

Tian Chou watched the poured hot water take away a soldier who was climbing up, and the ensuing screams also made him creepy, so he said, "This is a good method." ”

Yuan Xi said: "The effect is limited, it would be better if it was hot oil." ”

Tian Chou shrunk his neck, thinking about that scene for a moment, and shuddered.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "After all, the stone is better to use." ”

Tian Chou said: "There are a few rich families in the city, and their houses have a large number of stones, which seem to be prepared for the garden. ”

Yuan Xi said: "That's good, hurry up and put it into storage." ”

Tian Chou said: "However, they are all very big, if they go directly to move, in case of trouble?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "If you kill the troublemakers, we can still save food." ”

"......" Tian Chou unconsciously shuddered again.
