Chapter 1110: The Great War Begins
Considering what Xu Shu said, Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said: "The plan is still the same!" ”
It's not that Zhao Feng is afraid of the risks behind, but that Zhao Feng is worried that it will cause changes.
Zhao Yun may think that Xu Shu's final analysis is also very reasonable, so he didn't persuade again, and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
"Yun go plan the camp and retire!"
After saying that, he turned around and withdrew from the big tent.
Before nightfall, a sentry rode into the big tent and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, Lu Taishou asked his subordinates to send a document." ”
After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.
Xiong Da walked in front of the sentry rider, took the paperwork with both hands, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng opened the document and read it carefully.
To the effect, Lu Su advised Zhao Feng not to listen to the slander that let Zhao Feng put himself in danger in the future.
In addition, in order to ensure the safety of Zhao Feng, Lu Su has led an army of 20,000 in Fan Ling and temporarily stationed on the border between Fan Ling and Xinzheng.
Once something happens in Xinzheng, it won't take an hour to lead 20,000 troops to come over for reinforcements.
After Zhao Feng finished reading it, he threw the document directly in front of Xu Shu and quipped: "Yuan Zhi, you haven't even entered the office, and you have already been called a slanderer!" ”
"With this label, you will inevitably be scolded as a traitor in the future."
As for Lu Su leading his troops to rush between Fanling and Xinzheng, it was within Lu Su's purview.
If Lu Su directly led his troops to Xinzheng, it would be without an order and he would have mobilized the army without authorization.
After all, the border between Fanling and Xinzheng is also in the Fanling area.
After reading the paperwork, Xu Shu stood up and handed the paperwork back to Zhao Feng, and said helplessly: "In order to let the people of the world live a peaceful life as soon as possible, even if Shu bears some infamy, it doesn't matter." ”
"What's more, as long as most of the Cao army is defeated in this battle, there is no need to let the lord take his body as bait in the future."
After Zhao Feng heard this, his heart moved, and he estimated that Xu Shu worshiped himself as the master, in addition to the several possibilities analyzed before, the biggest possibility was because of the people in the land, and they were living quite well.
In particular, the people of those states and counties that have implemented the law change will reduce a lot of taxes in the future, so that the people's lives will only be better.
At least compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others, who only hegemonized for the sake of ambition and did not do any good deeds to the people, Zhao Feng is much more noble.
Early the next morning, Tai Shici sent someone to report that Cao's army had been arrayed outside the city and was ready to attack the city at any time.
After Zhao Feng learned about it, he took Xu Shu and more than a dozen shield soldiers and rushed to Xinzheng City.
Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Xiong Da were respectively responsible for commanding their respective cavalry, and appeared on both sides of Xinzheng half an hour after the battle began.
Zhao Feng and Xu Shu had just arrived at the city wall, and before they had time to observe the situation on the city wall, they asked Tai Shici: "Ziyi, how is the situation?" ”
Tai Shici bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, the Cao army has already set up a formation, and it is estimated that the city will be attacked soon." ”
Zhao Feng nodded, and then checked the situation of the city wall.
It was found that the two locations where the couch was smashed three days ago are not being repaired.
Of course, this kind of large-scale project, under the condition that Cao Jun did not retreat, is not suitable for repair.
Unless it can be ensured that Cao's army will not attack the city for ten days and half a month, temporary repair work may be carried out.
However, the southern city wall of Xinzheng has been smashed like this, I am afraid that many places have been smashed out of cracks, and if it is really to be repaired, it is estimated that a southern city wall will be rebuilt.
If only the surface is repaired, I am afraid that in a few decades, the southern city wall will collapse on its own.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of drums pulled Zhao Feng's thoughts back.
Zhao Feng turned to look in the direction of Cao Jun.
As soon as the drum sounded, Cao Jun had not yet launched an obvious charge, but the catapult had already begun to throw stones frantically.
The shield soldiers beside Zhao Feng quickly picked up the big shield and guarded Zhao Feng and Xu Shu in the middle.
At the same time, several shield soldiers around Tai Shi Ci also picked up the big shield and guarded Tai Shi Ci in the middle.
Tai Shi Ci turned his head to look at Zhao Feng: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much. ”
"After several sieges by Cao's army, this place is one of the safest places on the city wall."
"The only thing to be careful of is the gravel that can't be found!"
Then he turned his head and shouted to the guards on the wall: "Prepare the archers!" ”
The moment Tai Shi Ci's order was given.
A number of boulders fell directly to the ground.
Most of the stones, either falling outside the city and causing no problems to the city walls, flew over the walls and smashed directly into the city.
And the buildings within the city walls that are within the range of catapults have long been smashed to pieces, and no one cares about them.
As long as the soldiers avoided those places, the danger was not as great as they thought.
There are not so many stones that really hit the city walls.
After that, five rounds of boulders were thrown in a row, and the landing point of the boulder was getting closer and closer to the city wall.
Zhao Feng knew that this was the current disadvantage of the catapult, and the boulder smashed to the ground, and it was completely necessary to rely on the slinger soldiers to explore it on their own.
That is to say, how much strength does it take for dozens of slingering soldiers to send the boulder to a certain target place.
It's all about the feeling of a soldier!
As soon as the five rounds of stone throwing passed, the drum beat of the Cao army changed, and the Cao army, which was lined up in front, quickly rushed towards the city gate and killed.
Cao Jun launched a charge from his side, and another round of boulders fell down.
This time, only a small number of stones fell outside the city wall, a small number of stones were smashed on the city wall, and most of the stones had already been smashed into the city wall.
After a few more rounds of stone-throwing, perhaps the stone-throwing soldiers controlled the approximate strength, and there were basically no stones left, and they fell outside the city.
At this time, Cao's army had also rushed to the foot of the city wall, and was about to prepare to cross the moat.
Tai Shi Ci looked at the situation under the city wall and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
Zhao Feng saw a round of stones falling, quickly ran to the city wall, and shouted loudly to the city: "Go back and tell Cao Cao that I have something to tell him, let him withdraw his troops for the time being!" ”
Then he glanced at the soldier next to him.
The soldiers next to him immediately picked up Zhao Feng's banner and hung it directly from the top of the city wall to the city wall.
Because the boulders are flying all over the sky, the flags that are generally hung at the head of the city are easy to be smashed, so for the sake of the aspect, Zhao Feng directly hung on the city wall.
Anyway, as long as someone in Cao Jun heard Zhao Feng's voice, he would naturally send someone back to report to Cao Cao.
Even if no one hears Zhao Feng's voice and sees the sudden appearance of the Zhaozi banner, they will still report it to Cao Cao.
This time and again, the two sides have already been at war, and if Cao Cao blindly withdraws his troops, he will only increase losses.
So even if you want to talk, you will not talk until this battle is over.
Of course, Zhao Feng's purpose is to let Cao Cao know that he is in the city now!
