As Tian Feng spoke, a series of blasting sounds sounded on the city, and under the violent shock, the gravel and dust in the city fell in all directions, splashing Cao Cao, Tian Feng and others with a turned face.

Tian Feng spat out the fly ash in his mouth, and then said something. However, due to the loud sound of the explosion, he was swallowed up by the rumbling sound as soon as he spoke, not to mention that Cao Cao couldn't hear what he said, and even he couldn't hear his own words.

He then stretched out three fingers and shouted at the top of his voice, "Three days! We must hold on to the city for the first three days. After three days, they switched to street fighting, and then held out in the alley for another three to four days. ”

"But the sect leader asked us to hold on to Xiangyang for ten days, defend the city for three days, fight in the streets for four days, and what should we do if there are three more days?"

"What did you say?" Obviously, Cao Cao's voice was too small, and Tian Feng didn't hear a word in the tinnitus.

"I asked what to do with three days?" Cao Cao attached himself to Tian Feng's ear and asked in his throat.

"Break through the siege and go outside the city to fight guerrilla warfare."

"Out of town?" Cao Cao was stunned, "But the sect leader asked us to guard Xiangyang for ten days!" Isn't going out of the city equivalent to giving up Xiangyang? ”

Tian Feng stammered with Gao Long, "The sect leader asked us to guard Xiangyang for ten days in order to drag Sun Ce down, not to let us defend the city desperately. Cao Gong, you can't be dogmatic in doing things. As long as we can trap Sun Ce in Nanyang, we can also achieve our goal. ”

Cao Cao turned around and glanced at Cao Ren and Fu Zhu, who nodded in agreement with what Tian Feng said.

"Well, what is guerrilla warfare?" Cao Cao asked.

"What?"

"What is guerrilla warfare, I ask?"

"Divide the army into many squads, hide in the mountains and forests outside the city, and harass Sun Ce by taking advantage of the terrain, so that he can't take care of the front and back, can't retreat, and is uncomfortable to enter. What did the Sect Master say? Tian Feng scratched his head, "I remembered, I called, 'I will retreat when the enemy advances, I will chase after the enemy retreat, I will disturb the enemy when I am stationed, and I will fight when the enemy is tired!'" 'We must firmly trap Sun Ce in Nanyang. ”

Sounds reasonable. Cao Cao scolded in his heart, "Okay! In the past two days, some military divisions have come up with a specific combat strategy, and when the time comes, we will discuss it and then implement it. ”

Tian Feng nodded.

"What now?" Yu Ban asked.

"Wait!" Tian Feng replied: "After a while, Sun Ce should almost bring in troops to attack, and then I will bother the generals to beat them down." ”

"Where is the duty!" Cao Ren, Yu Ban, and Li Dian will each look like a sharpening knife.

The Jiangdong Army's wanton bombardment lasted for an hour. An hour later, as the last wave of hand melons burst on the city wall, there was a "boom", and a wall more than three feet long collapsed.

At the same time, the princes of the city sent back two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that because the Jiangdong Army used the Thunderbolt for the first time, it did not know enough about the performance of the Thunderbolt Truck, so that it threw stones too frequently, resulting in the overload operation of the vast majority of Thunderbolt vehicles, and most of the main load-bearing rods were cracked, and they could not continue to be put into use unless the main load-bearing rods were replaced.

However, because the load-bearing structure of the main body of the Thunderbolt is a combination of special techniques used by the Church ordnance, only specially trained church engineers will replace and install it, and in addition, the replacement of the main load-bearing rod requires the use of many unique tools of the Church, including Phillips screwdrivers, hexagonal wrenches, etc., without which the Jiangdong Army cannot even unload the load-bearing rod.

This also means that from this moment on, the thunderbolts in the Jiangdong Army will become piles of waste.

Good news goes hand in hand with bad news. The southern wall of the city fell with a bang, and the army of Koto was gathering and was about to attack.

After Cao Cao heard the good news, his heart that had just been relaxed tightened again, "Go to the city, go to the city." Yu Wenze, follow me to lead the troops to defend the city. Li Mancheng, then you immediately try to block the missing wall for me. ”

Li Dian glanced at the huge vacancy on the city wall, and glanced at the Jiangdong military formation in the distance outside the city, revealing a bitter face, "How can this be blocked!" ”

Cao Cao climbed up a ruined city wall and shouted at Li Dian under the city: "It doesn't matter if you use the chariots and horses that transport grain, or use rolling wood and stones, or simply block it with your life, I don't care what method you use!" I must defend the wall...... Hold! ”

"Whoa!" Li Dian led the order to run quickly in the crowd, "Zhang Yi, go, bring all the cars that transport the baggage, and save the car." A few of you, move more wood and stones, block the city wall for me, and go to prevent Sun Ce's cavalry from rushing in. ”

The church guards in Xiangyang City were busy in an instant.

At the head of the city, Cao Cao held a telescope and observed every move of the Jiangdong army. Under the accompaniment of rumbling drums, tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and mountains are killing in the direction of Xiangyang City like a tsunami, the first fierce general is holding two long knives with a little gold, wearing a tiger roaring wolf armor, and a general flag facing the sky is erected behind him, and a big character "Zhou" is written on it.

Cao Cao recognized this person, his surname was Zhou, his name was Tai, and he was a fierce general under Sun Ce. It is known for its bravery in battle and fearlessness of death.

It is said that when Sun Ce attacked the Longbian City of Jiaozhou under the command of Shi Xie, he could not overcome it for a long time, and even ran out of food and food, and the army was discouraged. In desperation, Sun Ce prepared to temporarily withdraw his troops and attack again when the grain and grass were ready in the coming year.

Zhou Tai stood up at this time and told Sun Ce: My army has no food, so how can Shixie have food? The morale of our army is low, and the morale of the sergeants and soldiers of the Shixie Army will only be lower. At this time, instead of giving up all the previous efforts, it is better to fight. The last general is willing to ask for 5,000 soldiers, and fight to the death with Shixie.

Sun Ce then allocated 5,000 elite soldiers to Zhou Tai from Zhou Tai's words, so that he could attack the dragon city.

In the battle, Zhou Tai took the lead, and the soldiers worked together to launch a fierce attack on the dragon weaving city, Zhou Tai on the battlefield was not afraid of death, seven or eight sharp arrows were inserted in the chest and back, and he was wounded in many places but did not take a step back, and the big sword dance was impermeable, even in the face of many enemy troops, he would never retreat.

Seeing that the Lord was so brave, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they desperately killed the enemy and charged wildly. Closely follow Zhou Tai along the ladder all the way up the city wall.

On the other hand, the sergeant of the Shixie Army saw Zhou Tai covered in blood, and his heart was infinitely cool. Is this still a person, a knife can't kill him, but he will be knocked down by a knife......

Shi Xie was scared, and a thick sense of fear fermented in the Dragon Weaving City. The Shixie army began to retreat one after another, and Zhou Tai took the opportunity to take the lead in climbing the city wall, and it was another big killing.

In the battle, the Jiangdong Army won a great victory and occupied the city of Longbian, laying a solid foundation for the seizure of the entire Jiaozhou. Zhou Tai also took advantage of this battle to become famous in one fell swoop, and the spirit of not fearing death was sung everywhere in Jiangdong. Because he is the third in the family, the Jiangdong people also gave him the title of Desperate Saburo.

At the head of Xiangyang City, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he saw that "Desperate San Lang" personally led the troops to attack, "This is a hard bone." ”

"If you crush your teeth, you'll have to gnaw him into slag." Yu Ban gritted his teeth, and seemed to have gnawed his bones now. "Ranging arrows, put!"

A round of rangefinder arrows struck down the city. "Headwind, the wind is southeast, the maximum range is ninety, and the effective range is about sixty-eight." ”

"Fuck!" Yu couldn't help but report foul language. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the situation was already very unfavorable, but it was another headwind day. This meant that the Jiangdong soldiers could take advantage of the tailwind and shoot their bows into the city before teaching the archers. "The shield men are in place. Rolling wood and stones, hook and sickle are ready. If you are burning the oil pot, light the fire again. ”

"General, I've done my best!" Dozens of guards fanned the wind desperately around several piles of charcoal fires. The fan was about to break, but the flame in the charcoal stove was still not high.

"No common sense! Haven't you heard of adding fuel to the fire? Yu Ban rushed to the guard, took off his helmet and took out some warm oil from the oil pan and sprinkled it on the charcoal stove. The charcoal fire burst into flames when it met the oil, and the fire swelled. "Come as I do, and if you don't roll out until the Jiangdong army kills the city, I will cut off your heads."

A group of fanning the flames of the guards repeatedly said "yes".

At this time, Wangzi came to report, "The enemy has crossed the effective range. ”

Yu Ban had no time to continue his thoughts, and moved his gaze to the outside of the city. "Where is the work propaganda team? Military music is played, hymns are sung! Come on! Let these Jiangdong dogs sing the power of the Holy Sect army! ”

With the sound of surging drums, the Jiangdong army under the city shot the first round of arrows at the head of the city.

The guards of the city spread out a dense shield array, singing military songs symbolizing faith while resisting the overwhelming rain of arrows.

Before a single lyric could be sung, hundreds of guards were shot by stray arrows that pierced through the gaps in their shields. Some of them never got up after they fell, while others lay on the ground suppressing the pain of their wounds, and were immediately carried off the city on stretchers by the medical personnel who rushed to the rear to receive treatment.

"Crossbowmen ready!" After a round of arrows, the archers of the church, who were standing in the back row and ready to attack, stepped forward, exposed in the gap between the shield soldiers and the shield soldiers, and without aiming, they released their full curved bows in the densest part of the crowd, and shot out the sharp arrow clusters.

"Buzzing ......" broke the strings, and the stray arrows and locusts rushed into the Jiangdong military formation at a glance, taking hundreds of lives in an instant.

The Jiangdong Army then launched a counterattack, intending to suppress the opponent's firepower with a denser cluster of arrows.

But they ignore the faithful faith and unparalleled discipline of the Church army. In the face of the overwhelming array of arrows, without the Lord's order to retreat, the church's crossbowmen had a resolute glint in their eyes, and instead of flinching, they continued to fire arrows in the rain of arrows according to the general's order.

......More than 3,000 archers, killed and wounded more than 600 in an instant, were killed and wounded in an instant, and at the moment before they died, they threw the arrows on the strings. Although the archery skills are not exquisite, there are too many Jiangdong soldiers outside the city, and the arrows will definitely hit the enemy. In addition, the archers form an arrow array, and the arrows shot are not accurate, but only dense.

A round of sharp arrows fell from the sky, and Jiang Dongzu did not expect that in this case, the defenders of Xiangyang would not say that they would avoid it, but they would fight back hard against the risk of death. Jiang Dong's poor psychological preparation led to the loss of defense, and more than 1,000 soldiers were killed on the spot.
