Chapter 142: Wei Yan Fa Wei
This day, early in the morning.
The torrential rain that had been falling for several days was finally over, and it was rare that the sun was shining in the east.
After the rain, the sky will be clear, and in a few days, under the light of the sun, this muddy earth is believed to be gone soon. The whole body will also become refreshed.
It stands to reason that everyone will be very happy.
However, Chen Sheng's soldiers were not happy because the city wall had collapsed. Even if it rained, Cao's army was not good at attacking the city, and now that the rain has stopped, it is naturally a good time to attack the city.
"Da-da-da-da."
On the city, a group of patrol soldiers walked by, and the faces of each soldier were tense and very solemn. Especially when the patrol soldiers walked through the collapsed city wall.
I saw the collapsed city wall, nailed into a frame of wood, and repaired for the time being. On the top side, huge wooden planks were used to connect the collapsed part of the road for patrol officers to walk.
Needless to say, how much defense there is for wood, nails. Once Cao's army attacks, I am afraid that the water will be hot.
Not just patrolling soldiers. In the vicinity of the two collapsed walls, there were also a number of soldiers standing guard, who were responsible for guarding the two collapsed walls.
What arch guard? Nature is flesh and blood, and the future is really uncertain.
Even if he is a veteran of a hundred battles, his hands and feet are cold and covered with cold sweat at this moment.
"Woohoo."
"Knock knock."
At a time when Chen Sheng's soldiers were tense and worried about the future. Suddenly the sound of war sounded in the north, the sound of trumpets, and the beating of drums that shook the sky.
This piece of music is the prelude to the war.
"Cao's army has attacked the city. The herald went to report to the general, and the rest were on guard. A moment later, a roar with all his might pierced the sky and reached the ears of many Chen Sheng's soldiers.
"Kill."
At this moment, many soldiers roared with all their breath in their chests. This roar, even the prelude to the beginning of the war, dispelled the timidity in the soldiers' chests and worries about the future.
The next moment, this group of soldiers was pure and incomparably pure soldiers, composed of Xiliang soldiers and the rest of the elite soldiers, Nanyang County, Wancheng elite soldiers.
An army that is not inferior to Cao's army.
"Da-da-da-da."
I saw many soldiers from all directions, armed with spears and bows on their backs, stepping on the city wall. For a while, the empty city wall was suddenly crowded with soldiers.
In addition, there are many defensive equipment on the city wall.
The stones and logs that had long been piled up, and the soldiers set up an iron pot, poured it full of oil and water, lit the firewood, and burned the boiling oil in the iron pot hot, and one by one the bubbles formed and burst, and there was a burst of oil fragrance floating in the air.
The battle is imminent, the city wall collapses, and every soldier is ready to fight, abide by his own duty, and the momentum is awe-inspiring.
On the other side, a fast horse set off from the north gate and headed for the center of the city, but it was the herald who went to report the situation.
In fact, there is no need to report to the heralds, and Chen Sheng was prepared for the first lesson of the war drums and horns outside the city.
At this moment, the hall of the General's Mansion was full of people.
Not only Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang, and Fang Gu are the leading generals, but the rest of the leading soldiers such as Qian Chong and Chen Feng are also present.
Naturally, Jia Xu, the first adviser, also sat on his knees.
And Chen Sheng wore armor and crossed the sword, and knelt on the top seat with a golden sword. The battle was imminent, and the murderous aura on Chen Sheng's body was incomparable, only sitting on the top, and he didn't see any movement, but he gave people an incomparable majesty.
This made the civil and military forces present involuntarily tighten their bodies and make themselves straighter. The atmosphere is very solemn and solemn.
Chen Sheng looked around, his eyes glowing. He opened his mouth and said: "Although I used a strategy, I forced Cao Ying to speed up the march in order to get Liu Biao's reinforcements. However, self-destruction of the walls is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be shooting yourself in the foot. Therefore, you should not take too much chances, and go all out to fight the Cao army. ”
"Dare to disobey."
Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang, Fang Gu, Qian Chong, Chen Feng and other generals, and military candidates responded in unison. For a while, the murderous aura was tumbling and full of momentum.
"Okay." Seeing this, Chen Sheng suddenly nodded and praised.
"Liao Hua went south to ask for troops, and the 3,000 elite soldiers he led were temporarily served by Wei Yan. Ladies and gentlemen, go north of the city to support General Wei Yan. ”
Chen Sheng first ordered.
"No."
On the spot, five soldiers answered the promise and left.
"Yuanfu, you lead 800 personal soldiers to supervise the battle with me, and those who retreat without a fight will be killed." At this moment, Chen Sheng was murderous.
"No." Zhou Cang's eyes widened, like Tongling, and he suddenly agreed.
"Fang Gu, Hu Che'er, you and the other commander-in-chief elite soldiers, sit in the city, wait for my orders, and support the north of the city."
In the end, Chen Sheng set his eyes on Fang Gu, Hu Che'er, and shouted.
"No." The two also agreed together.
Immediately, Chen Sheng took the red dragon lance, straddled the yellow dragon horse, opened the way with 3,000 elite soldiers, and 800 personal soldiers accompanied the escort, and went to the north of the city.
After arriving in the north of the city, 3,000 elite soldiers and 800 personal soldiers lined up near the city wall, ready to fight at any time. And Chen Sheng and Zhou Cang led dozens of soldiers to climb the city wall.
The walls were already in full swing. And Chen Sheng's arrival caused a stir.
Although many soldiers have seen Chen Sheng with their own eyes, it is the first time for them to get along at such a close distance. Therefore, it attracted a lot of onlookers.
In this regard, Chen Sheng tightened his face, neither happy nor angry. The demeanor is free, the steps are the same, and it can be described as calm as a mountain. Feeling Chen Sheng's calm momentum, the soldiers gradually reined in their excitement, and their actions became as usual.
However, because Chen Sheng is on his side, morale is always improved. Who doesn't want to show their face once in front of their own generals?
And Chen Sheng was actually relieved, the eyes of the soldiers just now were too hot, and he didn't know what to say. Rejoice, no, it's too unserious.
If you are angry, it is a blow to morale. Therefore, Chen Sheng simply lost his mood and anger. And now it seems that it is right that joy and anger are invisible.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Sheng continued to walk forward and came to the front of the city gate tower. At this moment, Wei Yan was fully armed, wearing battle armor and holding a war knife, standing in front of the city gate with a very serious expression, looking at the situation of Cao Jun outside the city with his head held high.
"General."
Because he was too concerned about the situation outside the city, it wasn't until Chen Sheng and Zhou Cang were extremely close that Wei Yan woke up and bent down to salute.
"With armor on the body, there is no need to be polite." Chen Sheng stepped forward with an arrow, helped Wei Yan up and said.
Chen Sheng is not a person who pays attention to etiquette, not to mention that it is a war now.
"No."
Wei Yan also knew that now was not the time to be polite, so he promised and stopped insisting.
Immediately, Wei Yan set his eyes on the outside of the city again, and Chen Sheng also looked outside the city when he saw this. At this time, it happened to be Cao Jun out of the camp.
The handsome flag of the character "Cao" first walked out of the Cao army camp and fluttered and swayed in the gentle breeze. Under the music of war, the breeze is unusual.
Under the banner of Shuai, there are dozens of knights moving forward slowly.
Without much association, Chen Sheng knew that there must be Cao Ying among them.
"I'm here to personally supervise the battle, it seems that this battle is determined to win, and I'm sure to eat." A sneer appeared on Chen Sheng's face. Immediately, Chen Sheng put his mind back to the front.
I saw that after Cao Ying, there were generals who came out one after another.
"Li", "Cao", "Le", "Man" and other generals were like watching the lanterns, killing out of the Cao camp. Following behind the general banner were a group of Cao soldiers.
Black clothes, leather armor, spears, and soldiers lined up in a phalanx. Regardless of horizontally or vertically, it is a straight abnormality. This is a powerful fighting force, and it is also a highly disciplined army.
"Click, click."
After the army was lined up, huge cars were pushed out of the Cao army camp.
This is the ladder.
Whoever is prepared to attack the city must have siege equipment. This siege machine, ladder is a must. Below it is a car and above is a ladder.
The ladder is divided into two sections, folded together, pointing at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees. When you get close to the thickness of the city wall, two ladders can be combined into one and erected on the city wall.
A forty-five-degree uphill slope is formed.
Soldiers can step on the ladder and climb the city wall more easily.
This is a regular siege war, the last time Chen Sheng crusaded against Jiang Guang and used an ordinary ladder to attack the city, it was very simple and shabby.
With the pressure of the handsome banner, the army was ready, and after the cloud ladder was pulled out, the momentum of the entire Cao army changed, and it became open and clawed, ready to move.
"Cao Ying wanted to take advantage of my request for help from Xiangyang to take Wancheng in one fell swoop. It's so domineering. When Chen Sheng saw Cao Jun's momentum, his heart was immediately awe-inspiring. However, on his face, Chen Sheng said with a smile.
"Hmph."
Wei Yan let out a cold snort when he heard this, looking very unconvinced.
Chen Sheng was overjoyed when he saw this, what he wanted was this effect. Wei Yan's surname is cold and arrogant, quite reserved, good at leading troops to fight, brave and good at fighting.
Such a person, using the general method, can exert 100% power. If you use the method of agitation, you can exert the power of one hundred and twenty.
The previous sentence was a euphemistic roll call, and Cao Ying underestimated the attitude of the heroes of Wancheng.
Wei Yan snorted coldly, expressing disdain. Agitation is enough. Next, it's time for encouragement.
"Wen Chang, although you have been following me for a while, it is the first time that you have led three thousand soldiers to meet such a male soldier as Cao Jun. It's a stake, but it's also an opportunity. If you can be under the onslaught of Cao's army, hold on to Xiangyang reinforcements to kill. The name of Wei Yan will surely resound throughout the Central Plains. Wei Yan is no longer an unknown person, but a famous general. This is also the opportunity of a true hero. ”
Chen Sheng encouraged.
Suddenly, the killing intent in Wei Yan's eyes turned into a fiery flame. Enter the ranks, add blood to the knife from this point, and life and death are up to the sky. So what's going on? It's just a marquis and a general, and he is just famous.
Chen Sheng's sentence is too right, if he can resist Cao Jun and defend the city without losing, he will be able to become famous in the world.
hit the nail on the head and pointed directly at Wei Yan's vital point.
At this moment, Wei Yan only felt that the fire was burning, and he couldn't wait to fight Cao Jun for 30,000 rounds.
"Wen Chang is also relieved to act, I have prepared 3,000 elite soldiers, and they will be arrayed in the city gate. In addition, he led 800 soldiers to the rear town and supervised the army. ”
Seeing the flame in Wei Yan's eyes, Chen Sheng felt more confident in his heart. Finally, he expressed his support.
"The general can rest assured, if Cao's army enters the city. Wei Yan cut off his head to thank the general. ”
Wei Yan made a military order and shouted categorically.
Chen Sheng smiled, Wei Yan was powerful, and I was behind the formation, and eighty percent of the city was saved.
