Chapter 209: I Just Want Qu Yang
Horsehair fluttering.
Under the city of Quyang, the shouting of killing shook the sky.
Gan Ning sat across the night and looked at the night, frowning and looking out, his face revealing a thick melancholy. A pair of sword eyebrows are tightly locked, tiger eyes are slightly closed, and the long knife is clenched.
"Bo Miao, let's rush, how about it?"
"No!"
Deng Zhi hurriedly stopped him, and saw that Gan Ning's face was not good, so he hurriedly explained, "It's not that you don't rush, but you can't rush now." The battle in Quyang has begun, and the formation of the Xiapi army has not yet dispersed, and the morale is booming. We are rushing into camp now, it is difficult to confuse them, and it is not very useful. ”
"When will we be able to storm the camp?"
"Wait!" Deng Zhi said softly: "Youxue is not idle, although the offensive of the Xiapi army is fierce, but if you want to break the city, I am afraid it will not be easy." We must endure the surname now, wait for the morale of the Pi army to fall, and then attack, and then we will be able to relieve the pressure on Quyang at that time. ”
Gan Ning thought about it, and finally agreed with Deng Zhi's idea.
The faint sound of shouting and killing in the direction of Quyang City stimulated Gan Ning's nerves. Gan Ning can't wait to be in Quyang City at this moment, fighting side by side with Cao Peng. Although he couldn't see the tragic battle scene, he could feel the thick bloody atmosphere.
It's just that what Deng Zhi said is not wrong.
Cao Peng ordered him to echo outside the city, not to ask him to act recklessly.
Gan Ning has never been a reckless person, and he also knows that if he wants to share the pressure for Qu Yang, he must find the right time.
Recklessness can only lead to a fiasco.
There are not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and he put together all the war horses, even the one with Cao Peng, there are only three hundred and eighty-six of them. Gan Ning can't afford to hurt! He knew very well that every charge he made had to be just right, otherwise it would be useless.
Pressing the impulse, Gan Ning gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head.
"Order the scouts to continue to investigate, and be sure to keep an eye on the situation in Quyang at all times."
"Whoa!"
Deng Zhi surrendered his order.
Gan Ning immediately turned around again to visit Qu Yang, sighed after a while, and urged the horse to leave.
———————————————————————— "Shoot the arrows!" ”
Cao Peng stood at the head of the city, hissing and roaring.
Rows of archers frantically shot arrows at the enemy soldiers under the city, and the arrows rained down. At the foot of the city wall, ten stone throwers frantically catapult stones.
One by one, the stones flew out with a roar and fell to the ground with a dull sound.
The two shields were smashed to the ground by the stones. Several of the soldiers were crushed under the arrow blocking cart and let out a terrible wail...... In just two or three hours, the Xiapi army had launched wave after wave of ferocious attacks.
Cao Peng relied on the fortified city to hold on, but the casualties continued to increase. One side carried a large number of siege equipment, and the other side prepared in advance. Although the number of Xiapi troops was superior, with the high walls of the fortified city, Quyang always stood tall.
It's just that the attack of the Xiapi army is too fierce!
So much so that the soldiers in the city have been killed and wounded by more than fifty.
Cao Peng and Zhou Cang ran back and forth in the city, shouting loudly to cheer up the soldiers. But in fact, including Cao Peng, they were also shocked by the ferocity of the Xiapi army.
"Catapult, catapult!"
Cao Peng ran to the battlement of the horse wall and shouted at the city.
Before the words fell, a stone-throwing machine fell apart. The continuous projectiles have overwhelmed the stone thrower.
"Childe, why hasn't Xingba acted yet?"
Zhou Cang's face was bloody, and he rushed to Cao Peng's side and shouted.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry...... Xingba and they also have to look for opportunities, and when the time comes, they will naturally inflict heavy losses on the thieves. ”
Zhou Cang spat and didn't say a word, turned around and ran back.
Cao Peng exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the three hours of non-stop fierce battle filled her breath with a bloody position. From the bucket at the corner of the city wall, he scooped out a scoop of water, and he drank it dry in one go, so that his flaming throat was much more comfortable.
"Childe, be careful."
The scoop had not yet been put down, and a stone flew up from under the city to the top of the city with a whistling.
Chu Ge rushed up and threw Cao Peng to the ground. The stone was smashed on the bucket, and the huge bucket suddenly split apart, and the water flowed down the gap in the bluestone at the head of the city, quickly merging with the blood on the ground, and flowing out along the water hole.
Cao Peng got up and wiped a handful of muddy water from his face.
He smiled at Chu Ge, and was about to say thank you, when someone shouted: "The ladder has built a wall, the ladder has built a wall!" ”
More than a dozen ladders thundered against the city wall!
Cao Peng suddenly felt a headache.
The ladder builds the wall, which means that the other party has found its own flaws. Switched from long-range shooting to frontal hand-to-hand combat...... Cao Peng is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and in the small space of Quyang's city, it is difficult for the Xiapi army to accumulate too many manpower.
But the problem is that there are only so many people on your side. One loss is one less...... This is the most headache for Cao Peng.
"Ruined their ladder."
Cao Peng didn't care to thank Chu Ge, and rushed to the battlements of the city wall.
A soldier just poked his head out, and Cao Peng did not hesitate, and cut off the head of the soldier with a knife. The headless corpse fell straight down the ladder, but the blood that splattered out was still sprinkled on Cao Peng's face. Cao Peng didn't care about wiping it, and as soon as he stepped forward, he saw a spear poking in from outside the battlement. He hurriedly dodged away, and saw a soldier who had climbed the battlement and jumped up to the top of the city.
"First in, first in......"
The soldiers under the city immediately shouted loudly.
But before they could finish shouting, a dead body flew down from the city, and Peng fell to the ground, hitting his head first, and his brain burst.
However, if there is one first, there will be a second first, and the third, and the fourth ...... "Zhou Cang, continue to release arrows!" ”
Cao Peng shouted loudly, and immediately took Chu Ge and ran along the aisle at the head of the city.
The big knife in his hand slashed fiercely again and again, slashing the soldiers who tried to intercept him in a pool of blood. About a stick of incense, I heard a sudden loud bang from the city. A ladder broke, and more than a dozen soldiers fell down from the ladder...... "They can't do it, kill me!" ”
Cao Peng hurriedly shouted, and the Haixi soldiers in the city suddenly boosted their morale again.
In this way, the two sides came and went, and the Xiapi soldiers rushed to the city, and they were immediately driven down by Cao Peng and others; Rush up again, rush down again. After a fierce battle for nearly an hour, there was finally a gong sound in the barracks outside the city.
Get off the troops, collect the troops!
Cao Peng sat in the bloody water with a puff, panting heavily.
The hour just now was tantamount to a test of life and death for Cao Peng.
He had to concentrate and not dare to slacken. But after a long time, people feel inexplicably tired. At the top of the city, there was a burst of cheers. Accompanied by screams and wails, it was particularly harsh. Cao Peng puffed up his strength, stood up from the blood, walked behind the city wall again, held the battlement, and raised his eyes to look at the camp of the Xia Pi soldiers. Unconsciously, the remnant sun is like blood...... Outside Xiapi City, there was a thick smell of blood.
According to the rules, both sides will collect the dead body. When clearing the battlefield, it is generally not allowed to attack.
Of course, Cao Peng didn't have the ability to attack!
Exhaled lightly, and a smell of blood poured out of his lungs, making Cao Peng almost vomit.
It was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene when he was so big. counted the number of people, and most of them lost more than 100 people!
"Childe, how about bringing in some more people?"
Cao Peng shook his head, "It's only the first day, and it's not appropriate to transfer people."
It is estimated that today is not over yet, you see those Xiapi dogs, they have not returned to the camp yet. It is very likely that Chen Gong will continue to attack. ”
"Night battles?"
"It's not impossible!"
Cao Peng coughed lightly and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
There was still some blood in the thick phlegm...... "Let everyone hurry up and rest, and after the dog has rested, the attack will be more violent." ”
"Whoa!"
Cao Peng was silent and stood on the head of the city.
He wasn't too tall, but he stood upright like a javelin. The people around saw Cao Peng's appearance, and for some reason, they suddenly felt calm. In the bloody battle just now, Cao Peng killed at least a dozen people, including the other party's generals.
Don't look at his age, but this skill has convinced everyone.
Look at the remnant red sun, dyeing the earth blood red. Cao Peng's heart is not calm.
In less than a day, he and Chen Gong had exchanged hands several times. Chen Gong's dismount and Cao Peng's stealing camp, the two sides fought to a tie.
In a fierce battle that followed, the two sides were tied again.
Next, it's time for me to win!
I just don't know, how will you Chen Gongtai resolve it?
"Childe, Wen Jue reported back from there, and their casualties were quite large. More than 30 people were killed in the battle, and nearly 80 people could no longer fight. ”
Not only is Cao Peng's side under tremendous pressure, but Pan Zhang and Deng Fan are also under tremendous pressure.
"Order Wang Xu to transfer a hundred people from the West School Field."
"And our side?"
"No recruitment for the time being."
"Whoa!"
Cao Peng slammed the wall and stomped hard, staring at the camp of the Pi army.
He knew that Chen Gong must also be in the military formation at this time, looking at the city. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs down to Xia Pijun, with a cold smile on his face.
He knew that Chen Gong would definitely be able to see it!
—————————————————————————— it was not yet dark, but the Xiapi army lit torches.
The slanting sun, the firelight, and the blood-colored earth make this Quyang City even more demonic and dignified charm. Chen Gong held the car bar tightly with one hand, and his knuckles turned white. The white face showed a resolute color, but the eyes looked very solemn.
I didn't expect this small Quyang City to have such a tough surname.
That's right, Cao Peng lost nearly 200 people, but the number of casualties in the Xiapi army was equally staggering, almost more than twice that of Quyang.
In addition, Cao Peng stole the camp last night, and the number of casualties in the Xiapi army exceeded 100.
However, for Chen Gong, he can still afford this casualty. The army of 8,000 suffered 600 casualties, less than 10 percent of the dead and wounded.
However, the number of casualties in Quyang is close to 20%.
See how long you can hold out!
Chen Gong couldn't see Cao Peng's gesture clearly, but he knew that it was not a good word.
"Strategist, that kid is arrogant."
Lu Ji urged him to step forward, stopped next to Chen Gong's car, gritted his teeth and said, "Military advisor, let me go...... I swear to take the thief's head. ”
"Young Monarch and Marquis, don't be impatient."
Regardless of whether Lu Bu is waiting to see Lu Ji or not, but in front of people, Chen Gong will still respect Lu Ji as a 'young prince'.
He smiled, "That kid just repelled us once, and arrogance is inevitable." However, he couldn't be arrogant for long, and when his momentum fell, the young prince and marquis attacked again, and he could be defeated in one fell swoop. ”
When Lu Ji heard this, he nodded again and again.
Chen Gongtai is still willing to think about me...... He said, "If I inherit the family business, I will definitely use this person."
Lu Ji thought carefully in his heart, Chen Gong would not manage money. Looking at the sky, he suddenly drew his saber from his waist and raised it in the air.
"Attack!"
In an instant, the drums of war rumbled, and the shouts of killing sounded again.
The stone thrower was accompanied by a creaking sound, and the stones drew a perfect parabola and flew towards the head of Quyang City.
The archers threw their arrows in unison, and the arrows rained down.
After a moment of rest, the Xiapi soldiers launched a fierce attack on Quyang City. One by one, Lu public cars and arrow-blocking vehicles marched on the battlefield. The Xiapi soldiers hid behind the arrow guard and slowly moved closer to the Quyang city wall. At the same time, a rain of secret arrows was shot from the top of the city, and fireballs flew out of the city and landed on the ground with a dull sound. Two flaming stones, striking in the air, ...... The sparks spread out like brilliant fireworks over the battlefield. The shouting of killing echoed in the sky, which was terrifying.
Chen Gong ordered the chariot to advance a hundred steps and stop, and the Chinese army approached Quyang.
He was about to give another order when he heard a series of tickling sounds from the rear army...... Immediately after, people shouted and neighed, and the rear army was in chaos.
"What happened?"
"Back to the military division, there are enemy soldiers, and there are enemy soldiers attacking the camp."
The herald hurriedly ran forward, panting, and reported to Chen Gong.
When Lu Ji heard this, his face changed greatly, he turned his horse's head, took off his halberd, and shouted: "Sons, follow me to meet the enemy!" ”
"Wait!"
Chen Gong suddenly stopped Lu Ji and turned his head to look at the rear army.
He smiled...... Cao Peng, dare to use such a small skill of carving insects? I said why are you so tough, it turns out that arrangements have already been made. The division of troops is the horns of each other, do you want to use this method to delay my offensive and relieve the pressure on Quyang? Hmph, it's a pity how many soldiers and horses can you have? The main force is in Quyang County, so there are probably only a few people outside the city. If you want to rely on that little force, you have to hold me down...... If you could have more troops, 5,000, I would be embarrassed. It's a pity ...... "Strategist, why don't you go to the rescue?" ”
"The plan to divide the troops is just to relieve the pressure on Quyang."
Chen Gong sneered: "I'm not fooled...... Pass my order and order the rear army to set up a formation to defend it. I don't believe that they dare to storm my army. ”
Charging into battle requires extremely brave generals.
If Lu Bu or Zhang Liao were to go, Chen Gong would definitely not dare to let it go.
He drew his sword, swung it in the air, and shouted: "The three armies continue to attack the city, I just need Quyang, give me the siege, attack the city!" ”
In an instant, the shouts of killing became louder and louder.
Lu Ji straddled his horse and turned his head to look at the rear.
He groaned for a moment and said softly, "Strategist, otherwise...... I'll take someone over to see if at least I'll be able to stabilize my position. ”
