Chapter 668: The Battle of Yiyang (4)

Seriously ill for several days, the state is completely gone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The train of thought is a bit confusing and is being adjusted.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Under the city of Yiyang, Cao Jun is ready to go.

The iron-armored arrow array composed of 3,000 people fired ten thousand arrows in unison with the rumbling sound of war drums. Airplanes...... Three thousand strong crossbow bowstrings trembled, and three thousand sharp arrows rose into the sky, soaring straight into the sky. The overwhelming flying locusts roared in, covering the sky and the sun, which was shocking.

Liu Pan hissed and shouted: "Steady, steady!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city raised their shields and desperately blocked the incoming arrows.

But even so, the dense rain of arrows still caused a large number of casualties. Cao Jun's arrow array made people feel suffocated, and in just one afternoon, at least 100,000 carved arrows flew into the city, causing huge psychological pressure on the defenders in the city. The most terrifying thing is that Cao Jun's arrows seem to be endless. In the past five or six days, hundreds of thousands of scissors have been shot into the city. In the face of such a ferocious arrow attack, although Liu Pan was able to hold on to the Yiyang City Wall, the number of casualties generated every day made him feel terrified.

Hate Cao thief, where did you get so many arrows?

Could it be that they moved all the arsenals in Gangneung?

Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for more than ten years, and except for the first few years, he basically rarely uses soldiers and horses. But he did not relax in his armament, and he kept a staggering number of arrows. It's just that most of the arrows at that time were used in the wars of Jiangxia and Jiangdong. After Huang Zu's death, the two sides gradually became peaceful, and naturally there was a lot less consumption. Cao Jun frantically attacked with an arrow array, which made Liu Pan even think that Cao Jun had moved all the arrows of the entire Jiangling arsenal to Yiyang.

However, Liu Pan felt strange again.

In addition to attacking the city with an arrow array, Cao's army did not invest manpower in the attack.

It stands to reason that after the arrow array, there must be a strong attack. But Cao Jun changed this mode, and the repeated arrow array attacks gave Liu Pan a headache.

"General, look!"

One of the pro-soldiers suddenly shouted loudly.

Liu Pan looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that from the Cao Jun camp, nearly a hundred odd-shaped bows and crossbows were launched.

The crossbow was somewhat similar to a cart crossbow, but larger. The crossbow arrows used were all standard spears with one gun and three swords and arrows, and they were quickly laid out in front of the formation. The arrow array suddenly stopped, but the pressure in Liu Pan's heart did not decrease at all......

Pang De urged the horse to circle in front of the formation, and shouted: "Liu Pan, ask you again, will it fall or not?" ”

Liu Pan's face was pale, he glared at Pang De angrily, and he couldn't wait to rush out and fight to the death with the other party. However, he did not dare to ...... On the first day of Pang De's siege of the city, in one day, he killed as many as eight people including Liu Pan's general Gao Pei. Liu Pan even led his troops to attack, but was almost killed by Pang De. At that time, if it wasn't for his desperate guards, he might have even died outside the city. This guy is a fierce general, and he has the courage to be unstoppable. Among the generals under Liu Bei, it is estimated that only Zhang can win, and the rest of the people are not this person's opponents.

I don't know where Cao Peng recruited so many good players!

If Huang Han is here, why am I afraid of this person?

Liu Pan thought of Huang Zhong at this time, and couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart.

At the beginning, when Huang Zhong surrendered to Cao Peng, Liu Pan was angry with Huang Zhong. But after inquiring about the situation, I learned that Liu Hu had been suppressing Huang Zhong and almost killed Huang Zhong. In the end, Huang Zhong surrendered to Cao Peng. Knowing this, Lao Tzu should not have listened to Li Qi and Li Wende's words and sent Hansheng to Liu Juyan. This guy is clearly a bastard who can't make it, and he has lost me a general for nothing.

"The dog thief dares to be arrogant, but I know that I only have a decapitated general in Jingzhou, and there is no surrender general."

Liu Pan is also an arrogant person and scolds.

Pang De sneered, "In that case, on the day the city is broken, there will be no Yiyang chicken dogs!" ”

With that, he raised the tiger's roaring knife and slashed forward, "Release the arrow!" ”

Eighty eight-ox crossbows rang out, and eighty spears roared out. The spear carried a huge force, and it made a roaring sound, and shot fiercely at the rammed earth wall of Yiyang. Standing at the head of the city, Liu Pan could even clearly feel the trembling of the city wall under his feet. Each spear and spear fiercely did not enter the city wall, revealing only half of its body. In the blink of an eye, the Yiyang City Wall was shot into a hedgehog-like appearance, trembling slightly.

The soldiers in the city panicked, and Liu Pan's face turned even paler.

"Steady, don't panic, don't panic...... Archers, archers return fire! ”

In the east of Yiyang City, on a mound not far away, Tai Shici's face sank like water, and he watched the battle with a horizontal gun.

Due to the defeat in the battle of Dongting Lake, Tai Shici was at a disadvantage. He led his troops to aid Yiyang, but he stopped at a place thirty miles east of Yiyang City. With his explanation to Liu Bei: I will put pressure on Cao Jun, but I can't really send troops. As for whether Cao Jun can be contained, I don't dare to guarantee it. That's all I can do, and I ask for your forgiveness.

There is no way, without the protection of the navy, the Cao army may cross the lake at any time and attack directly towards Luo County.

On the one hand, Tai Shici has to assist Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he has to take care of himself. At the same time, he couldn't provoke Cao Cao too much, especially before Sun Quan made his attitude, he had too many concerns. can do this, when his own family is still in danger, he still leads his troops to Yiyang. Whether you go to war or not, this attitude is enough! Tai Shici and Liu Bei have a relationship, so they can also help.

This Tai Shi Ci is from Donglai!

In the early years, Kong Rong took good care of Tai Shici's mother when he was studying art in Tai Shi Ci.

Later, Guan Hai's soldiers committed Beihai, Kong Rong asked Tai Shi Ci to find reinforcements, and Tai Shi Ci found Liu Bei. Later, they drove away Guan Hai and relieved the crisis in Beihai. But Liu Bei didn't know what the considerations were, and he didn't recruit Tai Shici, so that Tai Shici later went to Yangzhou to serve Liu Miao. In any case, the two have fought side by side, and they have some friendship. This time, Tai Shi Ci was able to send troops to Yiyang, and it was precisely for this reason. At the same time, Tai Shici also hoped to take this opportunity to spy on Cao Jun's virtual and real situation.

"That, is that the Eight Bull Crossbow?"

"It's also called Yueying's crossbow...... However, in Cao Jun, more people call it the Gongzi Repeater, which is said to have been made by Cao Peng and his wife Huang Yueying. ”

Yu Xuan hurriedly explained.

Tai Shi Ci asked again: "Wen Xiang, you fought with Cao Jun in Dongting that day, and what they used was this kind of repeater?" ”

Xu Sheng hurriedly replied: "There are some similarities, but there seem to be some differences...... There was a chaotic battle that night, and it happened suddenly, and I really couldn't see it clearly. ”

"Try to get a repeater as soon as possible and send it back for someone to study.

Damn, this thing is amazingly lethal. Rammed earth can penetrate ...... It is also thanks to the strong walls of Yiyang, otherwise they would have to be blown down. If this is used on a ship, it must be very powerful. When the time comes, if they are driven by Cao Jun, they only need to equip each ship with ten repeaters, and they can inflict great damage on us...... Zhong Xiang, inform Gongjin of this situation as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa!"

Tai Shici nodded and said no more.

Yu Fu and Xu Sheng also showed bitter smiles.

The battle in Dongting made them all lose the wind. The most hateful thing is that after Cao Peng captured Zhou Tai, he refused to release him...... Yu went to Hanshou to intercede, but he didn't even see Cao Peng's face. From the last courtesy, it is completely one heaven and one underground.

It is no wonder that in the battle of Dongting, they were the first to start the battle.

In the end, it was Cao Peng who won......

This made Yu Pan have no confidence, and he couldn't complain about Cao Peng's rudeness.

Fortunately, Cao Peng sent an envoy Zhang Song to meet Yu Tuo and said: "There is no faith in Jiangdong today, which really makes my son-in-law uneasy.

The majority of the governors of the false festival are conquered, and the governors of Jingnan are rebellious. Jingnan is under the rule of the imperial court, and it is reasonable for us to fight Yiyang, what does it have to do with your Jiangdong? You want to start a war, and now that the army is defeated and captured, do you want us to release people? I can't help but say it.

However, the Metropolitan Governor had the virtue of a good life and also praised General Zhou Youping very much.

So please don't worry about General Youping's life, and spend some time in Hanshou. When things settle down, they will be sent back to ......"

Pan Huan?

To put it bluntly, it is to let Zhou Tai be a hostage.

Yu Pan didn't even see Zhou Tai's face, and was kicked out of Hanshou.

This also made Tai Shi Ci a little more worried in his heart.

Fortunately, after Cao Cao's naval army won a great victory in Dongting Lake, it did not gain an inch, and then attacked Bo Luoyuan. But that danger is still there, so Tai Shici is jealous.

"That's not right!"

Tai Shi Ci suddenly muttered to himself.

"Ziyi, what's wrong?"

"Zhong Xiang, Wen Xiang...... Don't you think it's a little weird? ”

"What weird."

Tai Shi Ci pointed to the Yiyang battlefield, "Since the siege of the city by the Cao army, they have been attacking with arrows. Now, he attacked with the son's crossbow, but he did not see the siege for a long time. These days, they have shot hundreds of thousands of arrows at Yiyang, but they have not invested any troops......

How do I think that Cao Peng's move doesn't seem to be really attacking Yiyang, but has ulterior motives. ”

"What's the intention?"

"I can't tell...... By the way, Cao Jun is still increasing the number of people? ”

"Yes, every morning, you can see Cao Jun stationed in Cao Ying. And the area of Caoying is also constantly expanding...... I estimate that at least 10,000 soldiers and horses have gathered under the city of Yiyang. ”

"But those are the people who attack the city every day!"

Tai Shi Ci frowned and shook his head again and again, "No, there must be an article here...... Cao Peng didn't want to fight Yiyang, but he was afraid that the troops in Cao's camp were not as many as we thought. Cao Cao had eight schools of soldiers and horses in Jingnan, except for the two schools of Yidao and Yiling, the other six schools should logically take turns to fight. Why is it that Pang De Pang Lingming who appears in the city every day? ”

Yu Flip's heart was shocked.

"Ziyi means ......"

"Cao Peng, I'm afraid I have ulterior motives!"

Yu turned in front of his eyes, and the kind of face that always had a gentle smile suddenly appeared.

He didn't have much positive contact with Cao Peng, and there was only one real contact...... That was the time, which always made him feel that Cao Peng was a somewhat simple guy. But now, Yu Flip felt that under that simple and gentle smile, there was a deep thought.

"I think, Ziyi, you'd better remind Uncle Liu Huang."

"Huh?"

"If my guess is right, what Cao Peng did this time was not Yiyang, but ...... Anti-guest-oriented, turn the tiger away from the mountain, and strike the west! A good thirty-six plan, a good Cao Youxue. He is going to cut off Uncle Liu's arm in Jingnan, Wuxi Barbarian, dangerous! ”

"Wuxi Man?"

Tai Shi Ci was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly.

"What Zhong Xiang said, could it be that what Cao Peng really wants to deal with is Wuxi Man?"
