Chapter 180: Yuan Highway fought to the death
One after another soldiers and horses rushed forward under the pressure of Lei Bo, and with the experience of Han Sima and his subordinates, no one dared to play tricks anymore. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, two full hours have passed, and Cao Jun still seems to show no signs of exhaustion.
Lei Bo was very anxious, and Yuan Shu under the mountain was even more anxious.
The ants on the hot pot generally turned back and forth, and Cao Yingda, who was fluttering high on the mountain, seemed to be laughing at his incompetence, Yuan Shu couldn't wait to have wings on his ribs, and flew up the mountain to step on the five-colored auspicious clouds, wearing golden helmets and golden armor, and making the hatred in his heart clear.
But it's a pity that no matter how noble Yuan Shu's background is, he is just an ordinary person after all, and no matter how good he thinks, he can only hope for those ordinary soldiers who climb up step by step.
Lei Bo pinned his hopes on weakening Cao's army's combat effectiveness through a war of attrition, but he didn't know that Cao Cao had already made complete preparations. Camping in the mountains, the advantages and disadvantages are equally prominent. If Yuan Shu had enough time to adopt Yan Xiang's strategy of cutting off the water, it would be as short as ten days or as long as a month, and Cao's army would definitely collapse without a fight. However, Ji Ling's fiasco left Yuan Shu with no choice but to storm Cao Ying regardless of losses.
The news of Ji Ling's fiasco had already spread in the camp, but those low-level soldiers didn't know that Yu Ban, after the victory, did not rush to Ancheng to reinforce Cao Cao, but rushed in the direction of Wancheng.
Cao Cao's purpose is obvious, that is, to light a fire in the rear of Yuan Shu before the change in his rear, so that the main force of Yuan's army can reveal its flaws in the panic and find a good opportunity to break it in one fell swoop.
This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, a conspiracy that makes Yuan Shu helpless.
Only the old, weak, sick and disabled Wancheng can hold out under the onslaught of Cao's army? Yuan Shu didn't have a bottom in his heart, and he didn't dare to gamble, so he could only grit his teeth and make up his mind to "capture the thief and capture the king first". He firmly believes that as long as Cao Cao can be captured alive, then all problems can be solved.
Therefore, Yuan Shu picked up the drum hammer again, and he couldn't see the situation on the mountain too far away, but he knew that as long as Cao Jun's big sword didn't fall, then the fire in his heart would definitely not be dispersed.
The sound of the war drums of "dong dong dong" echoed in the ears of the haggard Yuan soldiers, but it only made them even more alarmed. Cao's position was impregnable, and there was no way to attack it in a short period of time. And Yuan Shu was so anxious, the sound of war drums that was originally used to motivate the morale of the army was like a magic sound at this moment, making them feel that they had no way out and were on the verge of collapse.
Lei Bo, Liang Gang, and Chen Lan, the three generals, have limited abilities, but because they are obedient and obedient, they have been valued by Yuan Shu. There is no problem in letting them gather around Yuan Shu and sing praises of virtue, but it is really difficult for them to command a difficult battle.
What's more, their opponents are Le Jin, Li Tong, and famous generals like Lu Chang who have left their names in history books.
Among the three people, Le Jin needless to say, one of the famous "five good generals", Li Tong broke Zhang Xiu and served as the Taishou of Runan for more than ten years, and won the trust of the two generations of Cao's father and son. And Lu Chang, who may be a little worse in reputation, but he has guarded Xiangyang for thirteen years, and Guan Yu and Sun Quan are jealous of the famous generals, how can he be idle?
Yuan Shu threw the drum hammer on the ground in frustration, raised his head with a lost face and looked at the dark night sky, shook his head weakly, sighed and muttered, "Heaven doesn't help me, but Cao Cao!" Could it be that the destiny of heaven is really not in me? ā
Yang Hongqiang squeezed out a smile and comforted: "Although we failed to conquer the enemy camp today, it is not without gains. After all, the strength of Cao's army is far less than that of our army, and the three generals must have a good idea of Cao's reality at this time. If we fight again tomorrow, our army will definitely be able to rush up the mountain with all their might! ā
Yuan Shu's confidence was obviously lacking and sighed again, "I hope so." ā
"Can't wait for tomorrow!"
Yan Xiang said categorically: "Please also ask the lord to give an order, after a short rest, light the torch and attack overnight!" ā
"Yan Xiang! What nonsense are you talking about? ā
Before Yuan Shu could speak, Yang Hong hurriedly refuted: "You are a scribe, Cong has never been to the battlefield, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the hard work of the soldiers!" ā
Yan Xiang didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked at Yuan Shu fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, our time is running out!" ā
Yuan Shu was shocked, his eyes looked at Yan Xiang coldly, his fists were slowly clenched, he bit his lip and asked slowly, "You mean, all this is calculated by Cao Agui?" ā
Yan Xiang nodded solemnly, "Otherwise, I can't understand why he chose to camp on the mountain." It is even more incomprehensible why he dared to face the lord's mid-lane army with only a few thousand people. Therefore, to be on the safe side, there can be no woman's kindness at this time. Of course, I know the hard work of the soldiers, but if I can't break through the Cao army camp quickly, once the news of the loss of Wancheng comes, I am afraid that the lord will be completely ......."
Yang Hong sneered and interrupted: "After Wancheng is heightened and reinforced, it is already the most iron-walled fortified city today, and Cao Jun only has more than 10,000 people, how can it break through the city in a short period of time?" What's more, there is a Son of Heaven in Wancheng, can it be that Yu Ban really dares to rebel and attack the city for the crime of disrespect? It's just a little trick played by Cao Cao in order to get out of trouble, so what's there to be afraid of? It's a shame that you, Yan Xiang, are also full of poetry and books, can't you even see through such a simple plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao? ā
Yang Hong's ridicule was nothing to Yan Xiang at all, but the intention on Yuan Shu's face fell in his eyes, and it was a great disaster.
As the saying goes, when the judgment continues, it will be disturbed. At this time, Yuan Shu's hesitation and vacillation were even more terrible than Ji Ling's fiasco.
In a hurry, Yan Xiang suddenly knelt on the ground and begged: "Lord, it is true that our army is tired, but the fatigue of Cao's army must be more than ten times better than that of our army!" Our army is ten times stronger than the enemy, and we must not give Cao Thief a chance to breathe! At this time of survival, life and death, the lord must not have half a bit of luck! ā
Yang Hong puffed out his mouth, but he didn't speak, because Yuan Shu was finally moved by Yan Xiang's words, and he let out a long breath of turbidity and said categorically: "Then according to what you said, fight at night!" ā
"The lord is wise!"
Yan Xiang was overjoyed and prostrated repeatedly.
Yang Hong stuck out his tongue disdainfully, frowned and said: "Attacking the enemy camp, the damage is too great, why don't you outwit it?" ā
Yuan Shu asked, "How to outwit?" ā
Yang Hong said with a smile: "It's just to treat others in the way of others." Why didn't the lord order the soldiers to attack in turn, so that the Cao army would be tired and tired, and it would definitely not be able to fight for a long time! ā
Yuan Shu nodded happily and praised: "That's exactly how it should be!" ā
"Yuan Shu, it won't be, you're going to fight at night, right?"
Dong Zhaoyuan looked at the dense torches under the mountain, and couldn't help but gasp.
"This is natural, he is not a fool, he must have guessed some of my arrangements at this time, if he doesn't fight to the death, will he still be tied up and wait for death?"
Cao Cao looked disapproving, and there was a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Although Yuan Highway is just a dry bone in a mound, he has always regarded himself very highly and came with great ambitions, how could he retract back in disgrace without making an inch?" ā
"However, in the daytime battle, although the casualties of our army were not large, the soldiers were generally unable to fight again. Yuan's army has many soldiers, and they can take turns to attack, but our army has no choice but to fight with fatigue. I'm worried, even if I survive tonight, I'm afraid tomorrow will ......."
Cao Cao sneered: "Do you think Yuan Highway can survive today?" ā
Dong Zhao's face was full of horror, and he asked in surprise: "Lord, could it be that there is an arrangement in advance?" ā
Cao Cao stared at the distant sky with a calm face, and said lightly: "It should be, it's almost there." ā
In Cao Cao's field of vision, there is a vast sky. And in Yuan Shu's field of vision, there is only a vague Cao Cao at this moment.
With a solemn expression, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and Yuan Shu's voice was as cold as ice, "There are many grudges between me and Cao Apu, and it is difficult to coexist with water and fire. Although the moon is dark tonight, our army is ten times the enemy, and the enemy soldiers must be tired at this time. ā
Although he was tired and sleepy, he couldn't lift his arms, but Lei Bo still gritted his teeth and took the lead in shouting: "Kill Shenyang Mountain and capture Cao Apu alive!" ā
"Kill Shenyang Mountain and capture Cao Apu!"
The shouts of the soldiers of the whole army, like thunder, spread far away, not only Cao Cao on the mountain heard it, but also a team of soldiers and horses on the other side of the mountain who were moving forward quickly.
"Lei Bo, Chen Lan, lead the troops and horses back to the camp to rest! Xun Zheng, Yu She, go up the mountain! Liang Gang, you work hard, stay by my side to guard, and do the duty of supervising the overseer, and anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed! ā
The five generals responded with a bang and went to prepare.
Seeing the long line of torches forming rows of torches, getting closer and closer to him, Le Jin's heart began to get nervous somewhat.
As Dong Zhao said, although his subordinates suffered very few casualties in the daytime battle, they were all exhausted. At this time, what they need most is rest, not fighting. However, Yuan Shu obviously thought of this as well. Therefore, if they want to hold their position and keep their faith, no matter how tired and hard they are, they must grit their teeth and hold on.
Le Jin suddenly pulled out his knife in his hand, slammed it into the rock, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I know, my brothers are very tired and sleepy at this time, and I am the same." To be honest, if the Yuan thief hadn't attacked, I would have been able to sleep while standing. But unfortunately, the Yuan thief came, and we had to say goodbye to our wives and children at home and take up arms to protect them. Because, we are men, men who stand up to the sky and the earth! He is a man who is not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or death! ā
