Chapter 227: Shouchun is in danger
"Although there is no way for subordinates to resist the catapult head-on, but the catapult is huge, but there is also a big Ruodan, that is, the size is huge, it is not easy to move, only when our army goes out of the city and burns it with a fire, can we have the hope of keeping Shouchun!" Xu Shu responded, the boulder thrown by the catapult, a piece of hundreds of catties, or even a thousand catties, smashed into the city, not only smashed the city wall, but even jumped out a few meters away, smashing over a group of soldiers guarding the city!
"Okay, that's it!" Liu Bei didn't have any good idea at the moment, so he could only agree. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Tai Shi Ci listen to the order, tomorrow in a battle, each of you will lead 10,000 horses and horses to go straight to Cao Jun's catapult, be sure to destroy it!" Seeing that Liu Bei had no opinion, Xu Shu immediately ordered!
"The last general commands!" Guan Yu and the three of them did not object, they saw the power of the catapult, it is indeed extremely big, if one passively defends the city, it is very likely to lose Shouchun!
"But what I want to warn you is that tomorrow I will only open the formation for one hour, and if you haven't returned for an hour, I can only close the formation!" Xu Shu said again!
The formation of the phantom array is a sharp weapon to protect Shouchun, and it is already the limit if it is open for an hour, if Cao Cao's army takes advantage of this to attack, I am afraid that there is no need to use catapults on Shouchun!
"Yes!" The three of them were ordered to confirm again!
Xu Shu is also helpless, the harm of the catapult is too great, he had to send all three of them out, destroy the catapult in one fell swoop, in the face of such a siege weapon, Cao Cao can not be unprepared, a general goes up, there may be no return!
..............
The next day, Cao Cao put the catapult away again!
At this time, Xu Shu walked to the city gate, asked the city gate to be opened, and then held a stone in his hand and threw it into the phantom array, just hitting a stone in the phantom array!
The small force was not enough to smash it open, but it only caused the stones in the phantom array to move a little direction, and at the same time, the twilight at the city gate gradually dispersed!
"That's it!" Seeing this, Xu Shu said!
And Guan Yu Zhang Fei Tai Shi Ci could still bear it, and directly led his men and horses to form three torrents and kill towards Cao Cao's catapult array!
"Zhou Cang, you go to the city wall to defend, you can't let Cao Cao's army attack the city!" After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Tai Shi Ci left the city, Xu Shu said again.
"What about you?" Zhou Cang couldn't help but wonder, as a literati, Xu Shu didn't have much force around him, and he hadn't seen Xu Shu use weapons!
"It's okay, you just have to defend the city, and I will personally pick up the three generals again!" Xu Shu said with a smile, and at the same time took the saber and hung it on his waist!
A few years ago, Xu Shu was a swordsman, and later traveled the world, feeling that the sword could only kill one person, but the strategy could kill ten thousand people and save ten thousand people, so he gave up martial arts and followed literature, but it is not that he has no martial arts!
"Okay, then the military advisor is careful, Zhou Cang will go!" Zhou Cang didn't say much, hugged his fists, and then led the troops to the city wall!
And the army of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Tai Shi Ci outside the city had just arrived in front of Cao Cao's catapult array, but was besieged by Cao Cao's army!
"Hahaha. King Wei had long expected that you would leave the city, and sure enough! Xiahoudun laughed, and then led the army to kill him, he was shot in the left eye last time, and he was full of anger, and this time was just the right time to take revenge!
On the other side, Xiahou Yuan also led troops to kill!
At the same time, the sound of killing sounded behind them, but it was Xu Chu who led a team of people to cut off their retreat!
"Third brother, Ziyi, don't fall in love with war, just destroy the catapult immediately!" Guan Yu's face was heavy and said!
"Good!" Zhang Fei and Tai Shici answered together, and then led the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the catapults on both sides!
But Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Chu may have already received orders not to intercept Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shi Ci, and the others, and only care about killing their subordinates!
So, the soldiers suffered, and the main general didn't care, so he could only let him be killed, although he also wanted to resist, but there were too many cavalry in the Cao army, coming and going like the wind, and he couldn't resist it at all!
"Second Thrust!"
"Whirlwind!"
"Assault!"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shi Ci launched the art of war and wanted to get close to the catapult, and they did it, but there were not many soldiers left behind them!
"Wow!" Catapults were cut into pieces like tofu under the weapons of the three people!
But after the destruction of more than a dozen catapults, less than 10,000 of the 30,000 horses who left the city remained!
"Quick, withdraw the troops!" At this moment, all the catapults have been destroyed, the task has been completed, and Guan Yu shouted at this moment!
When Zhang Fei and Tai Shici heard this, they also retreated to the city gate!
But Cao Cao's way of using troops is so easy to guess, just last night, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu and others set this strategy to lure the enemy!
Although the power of the catapult is huge, it can't completely break the defense, because the two stone bullets smashed into the same place, the power of the second one is far less than the first, and even if it can destroy the city wall of Shouchun, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops inside, and it is not a day or two that can be annihilated!
And the catapult has one of the biggest drawbacks, which is that it is easy to break! Maybe Liu Bei didn't know about it, but Liu Ye under Cao Cao knew better than anyone that after a catapult threw a boulder ten times, it would be scrapped!
So, Cao Cao prepared to use the waste, lured Liu Bei to attack, and at the same time attacked the city gate!
Since Liu Bei's army is going to go out of the city, the formation must be removed, so it is necessary to take advantage of this time period to storm the city gate, because capturing the city gate is the royal way!
Just when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Tai Shi Ci destroyed the catapult, Xu Shu at the city gate also ushered in the attack of Cao Cao's generals and Le Jin!
"Block! Obstruct! Seeing Cao Jun coming to attack, Xu Shu shouted!
Yu Ban and Le Jin, although they are not famous among the fierce generals, but for ordinary soldiers, they are one to kill!
In a moment, the city gate was in an emergency!
"The military advisor will rest for a while, I will go and meet them in Zhou Cang!" At this time, Zhou Cang appeared, speaking of which he was also sad, he had just been driven to the city wall by Xu Shu to defend the city, but then he was driven down the city by Liu Bei to protect the military division!
Running on both sides, this made Zhou Cang nest a fire, just at this time Yu Ban, Le Jin killed, and immediately shot the horse to fight!
Zhou Cang's martial arts are good, but when Yu Ban and Le Jin are added together, he still shows defeat!
At this moment, Xu Shu couldn't help it, if Zhou Cang was defeated, then the city gate would not be able to be defended, and Shouchun would have to lose it sooner or later, so he pulled out his sword and rushed forward!
Although he has not practiced swordsmanship for many years, Xu Shu's swordsmanship does not seem rough at all, and the two of them with Zhou Cang actually blocked it with Ban and Lejin!
However, at this time, Cao Cao's brigade also moved closer to the city gate, and he had already made up his mind to take advantage of this to break through the city gate and take Shouchun in one fell swoop!
For a time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Tai Shi Ci fell into the siege of Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Chu, and could not return to help, and Zhou Cang and Xu Shu at the city gate could not stop Cao Cao's army, and Shouchun was in danger! (To be continued.) )
