Chapter 465: Xiangcheng Bloody Battle
The ladder rushed into the car and other siege equipment, and all of them were pushed up.
Under the bombardment of the thunderbolt car in the city, the soldiers pushed the rushing cart to the bottom of the city, and the huge impact force of the rushing cart hit the city gate, making a loud noise. Lu Bu personally climbed the ladder, and the ants attached it climbed the city wall.
Li Dian did not leave Lu Bu, pointed at the long sword, and the rain of arrows followed. The rows of dodge letters above the head never break.
Although Xiangcheng has been prepared for a long time, the defense of the layout is very tight, but Lu Bu used the Youzhou cavalry and the Xiliang cavalry to tie down the attention of the Cao army in the city.
"The first to board will be rewarded with 10,000 catties, and the marquis will pay homage to the general!"
Lu Budi's voice was majestic, exuding a vigorous fighting spirit, and the soldiers attached to him were greatly inspired. Lu Bu fought from the city to the city, brave and invincible. Painting the portrait of the halberd, a column of Cao soldiers defending the city all fell down the city. Li Dian was shocked, ignoring the huge gap in combat power between the two sides, and rushed to the gap where Lu Bu was.
The soldiers defending the city saw Li Dian coming, and killed the enemy desperately, and the elite soldiers around Li Dian joined the battle, and Lu Bu's pressure suddenly increased greatly, and his blood volume was lost vigorously.
"Quickly report to the prime minister, the West Gate is about to be lost, please make a decision!" Li Dian shouted to a guard beside him, but his movements did not stop, while directing the dense Cao soldiers to pounce on Lu Bu and climb up the city behind Lu Bu to the Chang'an soldiers, while staying away from Lu Bu and slashing and turning over the Chang'an soldiers in the city.
Under the command of Li Dian, the defenders of Xicheng fiercely resisted, and the city walls lined up with thunderbolt cars and threw out jars of fire oil outside the city, and the sea of fire put Lu Bu's timely support for the siege troops on the other side.
A fierce battle broke out at the head of the city, but the soldiers of Chang'an under the city put out the fire with pieces of soaked linen.
"Smash the Thunderbolt!"
If the thunderbolt carts of Cao's army in the city were not destroyed, it would be impossible for their own soldiers to come to support when the fire was extinguished, so Lu Bu promptly ordered the soldiers to turn killing the enemy into destroying the siege vehicles.
Even if there was no follow-up force to support in time, under the leadership of Lu Bu, Cao's army was driven down the city little by little. On the west wall, Chang'an soldiers have occupied a long section of the city wall.
When Cao Cao heard that Lü Bu was storming the West Gate, he was so frightened that he quickly led his troops and horses to support the West Gate. When Cao Cao arrived, on the west wall, the Chang'an soldiers had already occupied a large break, and the city gate had already been opened, and a column of Chang'an soldiers came in from the city gate.
"The thief Lu has entered the city, Prime Minister, what should I do?"
"Immediately store water at the corner of the street." Cao Cao didn't think about it and said.
"But our trap is only dug in the north gate, and the west gate has not yet had time to dig!" One of Li Dian's generals who retreated from the city wall howled.
Cheng Yu said angrily: "If you are told to store water, you will store water, why is there so much nonsense." Quickly move the canisters of oil into the houses on both sides! ”
"The nearby ground and fire oil have been emptied, and the rest are in the other three gates and warehouses, and the enemy troops are all killed, so it's too late to move!" Makes one of the generals anxiously return.
"How much and so much! All of them were splashed on the water, and the rest of the soldiers held torches, pretending to ignite the fire oil in the houses on both sides! Cao Cao shouted hurriedly, the figure of the Chang'an army in the distance had already come into sight, and it was too late to arrange the second defensive front.
"Queue, Mingjin!"
The Cao army in the city stepped on the sound of gold and retreated towards the city. The soldiers of Chang'an rushed down from the city and chased Cao soldiers to the city.
"General, there is a report from the soldiers, and the streets ahead are filled with pools."
"Cao Cao is scheming, be careful of underwater traps, and let all the soldiers carefully investigate."
A short time later, a soldier returned: "Tell the general that there are no pits in the pond." ”
"What does Cao Cao mean?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong Lu Xun suspiciously.
"Just check it out." After Xu Shu finished speaking, he shook off and strode forward to investigate.
When I came to the corner, the street in front of me filled the entire Xiangcheng with muddy water as far as the eye could see. Lu Bu cautiously glanced around, and occasionally a Cao soldier with a torch flashed in the surrounding houses. Lu Bu suddenly saw a layer of oil beads floating on the surface of the water, and without thinking about it, he exclaimed: "Retreat!" Cao Cao arranged a large amount of fire oil in the houses of the two sides, and he wanted to attack with fire! ”
Lu Bu gave an order, and the rear team changed to the front team and returned to the city gate.
In the distance, Cao Cao let out a long breath, scaring Lu Bu away and buying him time to arrange his troops, what he was most worried about was that Lu Bu had no head and no brains, and commanded the army to rush into the city recklessly.
"Quickly pass my order, the air force is ready to bomb the West Gate, all the troops in the city will assemble in the county guard, and all the troops outside the city will gather outside the West Gate, ready to annihilate the Chang'an army!"
Lü Bu gathered his army densely in the direction of the West Gate, Cao Cao saw the hope of victory, and decided to repeat the old trick, using hot air balloons as an air force, breaking through the defense line of Lü Bu's army from the air, and burning the Chang'an army again.
Lu Bu was thinking hard about how to remove the fire oil from the houses in the city, and when he grabbed Cao Cao, in the center of the city, one behemoth after another rose into the air again.
"Report!" The soldiers who were the first to discover the enemy ground knocked over Lu Bu's tent guards and rushed into the camp. In a panic, he shouted: "Feitian, Cao Jun dispatched the Flying Army, Cao Jun dispatched the Flying Army!" ”
The entire Xicheng was boiling under the hot air balloon liftoff, the Chang'an army sent out a fear from the bottom of their hearts, and chaos spread, and soldiers ran like headless flies, looking for a place to hide. The fear of Cao Cao's air force is deep in the bone marrow.
"Wait! Stick to your post and ignore military orders! "Generals at all levels took the lead in stabilizing their own emotions.
"Ballista ready!" At the same time, he sent soldiers to shout in the chaos to stabilize the soldiers.
A column of ballista carts was pushed into battle, arm thick, and two feet long wooden arrows pointed diagonally to the sky. Lu Bu was suddenly attacked by Cao Cao when he was in Lushan, although it was too late to develop a hot air balloon, but he already had a countermeasure, and no one was more proficient in hot air balloons than Lu Bu, a person with later insights. It's just that what Lu Bu never expected was that Cao Cao actually dared to send this exposed air force, did he think it existed inexplicably?
From the moment Cao Cao's hot air balloon was lifted off, Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao was going to be defeated, and excitedly sent troops at the main tent point. Cao Cao wanted to escape from the ground of no more than two routes, a shortcut road over Songshan, through the Tiger Prison Pass to Hanoi, this route is basically within the Lü Bu defense line, dangerous and unpredictable, but only a few hundred miles. There is also a route to go east to Xiyang along Yingshui, to Xuzhou and turn to Qingzhou back to Hebei, this road is still Cao Cao's controlled sphere of influence, but the distance is thousands of miles. Lu Bu decided to take a gamble and arrange troops according to Zhuge Liang's arrangement for Cao Cao in history.
"Cao Cao's defeat will be a shortcut. It's the so-called surprise. The Songshan Road seems to be dangerous, and Cao Cao may take this route. Lü Meng led an army to the Yangren ambush, and only brought the Cao army to the time, and killed it when he made a fire to make food. Huang Zhong led the Xiliang cavalry to Yingchuan to ambush, only waiting for Cao's army to come out to cover the kill. Gao Shun led the trapped camp to ride on the sweat and blood cavalry, and first went to Songshan to set fire, and Pang De led the crossbow battalion to Songshan as soon as possible to set up an ambush. ”
"I'm waiting to set fire to the mountains, how dare the thief come?"
"Cao Cao is an extraordinary person, and when he does something extraordinary, he will come, and he can be killed at that time."
"Whoa!"
Lu Bu had finished arranging the battle, and the battle outside the city had begun. When the hot air balloon had just lifted off and swept over the Cao Army's large array, the roar of Xicheng exploded.
A sparse field of huge wooden arrows shot into the air, and the tail of the wooden arrows was tied to a thin rope the thickness of a finger hundreds of meters long. Suddenly, the sky seemed to be covered in a huge net. The arrows were powerful, and a large piece of wooden arrows pierced the earth sac woven by cowhide. The hot air balloon carrying Cao Bing only shook slightly. The small holes in the balloon were not enough for the balloon to fall to the ground and continue to rise.
Cao Jun's face changed when he watched the battle, only to see the wooden arrow penetrate into the hot air balloon and get stuck firmly on the airbag, and three or five soldiers in Chang'an quickly rushed forward, pulling the long rope and began to pull. The rope was taut a little bit, making a clattering sound. A huge balloon shook in the air.
The process technology is rough, the hot air balloon leaks, and the temperature of the oil is not high, and the hot air balloon does not fly high. The balloon shook, the ground fire oil it carried splashed, and it rained like a rain of oil on the head of Cao Jun's big array. The hot air balloon full of fire oil poured down, and the fire oil was poured on the head of Cao Jun's big array.
"Shoot the arrows!"
In front of the Chang'an array, a soldier with a rocket came out of the crowd, throwing a bow and shooting arrows from a distance, and a arrowhead arrow pushed the spark and fell into the Cao army group.
Cao Cao's pupils contracted, and the fire in Cao's army exploded, and the flames burst out two feet high, and a Cao soldier was instantly engulfed in flames, and crashed into Cao's army with raging flames, and Cao Jun jumped up and down, dodging the flames on his companions.
Countless Cao soldiers were dumbfounded, looking at their companions who were jumping and screaming in the flames, they were afraid of being hit by the flames. More and more Cao soldiers were surrounded by fire, running and rolling in the Cao army......
At that moment, a soldier shouted: "The enemy is coming!" ”
Cao Cao and the civil and military henchmen around him looked over, Yan Yan led a group of generals to rush over, and a large group of Chang'an soldiers followed him, cutting or chopping the Cao army that blocked the way. Yan Yan swept the Cao army with a big sword, with terrifying power, and in the blink of an eye, he had already killed dozens of Cao soldiers, and the surrounding Cao soldiers did not dare to step forward with spears. The Chang'an generals took the opportunity to enter, and a large number of Chang'an soldiers poured in from behind.
A large number of Cao Jun looked up at the sky and the earth fire oil poured down, afraid of being splashed on his head and face, and then ignited by the sparks. An irreparable gap appeared in the wall of Cao Jun's ground.
Cao Cao finally knew what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself on the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the Air Force was broken by Lu Bu and put everyone on his side in danger, how could it be defeated one after another?
"Guarding the prime minister, the city is here! Our army is a loyal martyr, follow a certain thief, fight to the death! ”
More and more walls were breached, and a large number of enemy troops poured into the formation, Yu Banyi changed his previous greedy style, carried a knife, and led his own soldiers to kill the gap. Yu Forbidden Blood Yong greatly encouraged Cao Jun, took a step forward bravely, raised his big knife and fought hard with the Chang'an Army.
The two armies fought day and night in the city, and fierce and bloody battles began day and night. At this time, no conspiracy could be put on the table, and the two armies entered the stage of competing with each other in numbers, courage and casualties.
