Chapter 459: Failed First Attack
Fighting with the waves, passing through the reefs and piles, Cao Jun, who finally stepped on the ground, couldn't help but let out a soft exhalation.
The sea breeze stirred up huge waves, and the roaring waves obscured his voice.
Looking at the top of the city wall in fear, Cao Jun, who exclaimed, was afraid that he would alarm the Tianhai camp guarding Penglai.
There was no response, and his soft cry seemed so small in the roar of the sea.
So small that the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion guarding Penglai couldn't hear it!
did not alarm the defenders, half of his body was still in the sea, and Cao Jun, who was washed by the sea, lightly put the cloud ladder on the head of the city.
The light shouts at the foot of the city walls were too far away, and they were obliterated by the waves.
The ladder hits the top of the city and makes a soft "click" sound.
It just so happened that a soldier of the Tianhai Battalion was napping with his back against the battlements.
In a daze, he faintly heard a sound different from that of the waves.
Suddenly he stood up, grabbed the battlements, and looked at the foot of the wall.
As soon as his head poked out, his face touched Cao Jun, who was about to climb up the city along the ladder.
Both of them were taken aback, and before Cao Jun could come back to his senses, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion had already shouted: "The enemy is coming!" ”
The shouts pierced the night, and the soldiers defending the city were suddenly alarmed.
His whereabouts had been revealed, and Cao Jun quickened up to climb upwards.
Half of his body had just leaned out of the battlements, and a long lance was stabbed in front of him.
The sharp lance pierced through his chest, clutching the lever tightly, Cao Junyuan opened his eyes and leaned back unwillingly.
Under the city of Penglai, there are not many places to stay.
There was only one cloud ladder erected by Cao Jun, and many soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion carried boulders and threw them out of the city.
The boulder fell, and the Cao army gathered below was smashed to pieces.
Some of the people on the very edge slipped under their feet and fell into the deep water.
I can't take care of my companions in the water. Swim towards the fishing boat in the distance.
Impermeable, a few waves fluttered on the surface of the water, and then were swallowed by the sea.
Raindrop-like boulders fell, and Cao Jun near the cloud ladder was forced into the deep sea and disappeared in the waves. Or simply smashed into a mass of bloody flesh.
The first wave of Cao Jun's attack ended in a hurry like a farce!
Cao Jun appeared outside Penglai Island, and Yuan Xu didn't have time to wash, so he hurried to the city.
Dawn has not yet arrived, and the night is still deep.
Standing at the head of the city, he couldn't see where Cao Jun was.
"Childe!" Tian Feng, who got the news, also came in a hurry.
"I've won Cao Cao's plan!" Looking at the dark outside of the island, Yuan Xu said: "The Cao army did not take the pirate warship, and the frustrated warriors were just a cover for transferring our soldiers and horses!" ”
"There are very few places to stay near Penglai." Tian Feng said: "Even if the Cao army has a million soldiers and horses, it must be defended!" ”
"Cao Jun is here. It must have been probed beforehand. Yuan Xu said: "There are too few defenders, so it's better to be cautious!" ”
Tian Feng responded.
While the two were talking, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others also arrived at the city.
The sea at night is vast, and you can't see anything as far as the eye can see!
The roar of the waves drowned out the sound of Cao Jun.
Before dawn, Yuan Xu couldn't see how many Cao Jun had come.
The crowd looked out of the island and spent the night.
The pre-dawn darkness was dispelled by a white light the color of a fish's belly on the horizon. 、
The sun climbed little by little, and the orange soft light shrouded Penglai, and the sea gradually became clear.
The sun is shining. Everything in front of me suddenly opened up.
Yuan Xu found that the island was empty, and it was just a vast sea as far as the eye could see. Where is the shadow of Cao Jun?
Losing the first battle, Cao Ren ordered the army to retreat.
Taking advantage of the night, they retreated to a place where the Penglai city wall could not be seen, and the fishing boats carrying more than 10,000 Cao troops stopped one after another.
The fishing boats floating on the surface of the sea crowded one after another, and the order they had come had long since disappeared.
Rushing to Penglai on a fishing boat, Cao Ren was not used to it at first.
After vomiting several times, he gradually became accustomed to the waves of the sea.
Sit at the bow of the boat. Looking at the direction of Penglai, his face was very ugly!
Of the Cao army that attacked at night, only two of them returned alive.
From their mouths, Cao Ren learned that there was almost no place to stay under Penglai City!
To attack the city, you must take more ladders!
If you can't find a foothold, you can't build a ladder.
In the middle of the ocean. Cao Cao could not be informed of the battle here.
The dry food carried by Cao's soldiers could only last for a few days at most.
Although it can make a living for fishermen, fresh water is not enough.
"Leave two fishing boats and get close to Penglai to investigate." After thinking about it for a while, Cao Ren decided to withdraw the army: "The rest of the soldiers will return with a certain one!" ”
The fishing boat with more than 10,000 Cao Jun immediately turned around and sailed towards Laoshan Bay.
Cao's army raided Penglai, and Yuan Xu sent the news to Fu Zhi.
He led five warships to intercept the pirates, and was taken aback when he learned that Cao had bypassed the defensive line.
"Pass the order down and withdraw to Penglai in a one-word array!"
The order was issued, and the five warships formed a formation and headed for Penglai.
After suffering two defeats in a row, Guan Cheng no longer dared to attack the Penglai Navy.
led the pirates to confront each other from afar, all he thought about was dragging Fu Zhi and the others down!
You can't beat it!
Withdrawing is also self-defeating!
The only way is to confront each other and not retreat.
If the Penglai navy pressed, he led the ships to avoid it.
Tell him to attack, and he will never again!
Frustrated and evacuated without warning, not knowing that Cao Ren led the army to make a detour to attack Penglai's Guan Cheng, and was confused!
If it is an interception, why retreat halfway?
watched the Penglai Navy evacuate in amazement, and it was not until the huge warship became five black spots at the junction of the sea and the sky that Guan Cheng reacted.
"All ships obey the order and attack Penglai!"
The order was given, and Guan Cheng didn't know if it was right or wrong!
Five Penglai warships had already beaten them to pieces, and there were ten warships that greeted Yuan Xu that day.
Approaching Penglai, in case the enemy attacks on all fronts, the only remaining warship will also be buried in the sea with him!
Guan Cheng is afraid of the Penglai Navy, and the remaining pirates are also panicking.
Receiving the order to attack Penglai, the two pirate ships broke away from the team silently.
When Guan Cheng found out, they had already accelerated and ran in the opposite direction!
Knowing that it is death, the ghost is willing to move forward!
The two pirate ships sped away, and along the way, people fell into the sea.
The Cao army on the boat was small in number, and they were all old and weak, and the pirates on the ship captured them and pushed them into the sea like dumplings.
Seeing this scene, Guan Cheng was stunned and opened his mouth.
More than half of the warships lost in the battle have gone, and two more have gone, in order to get a false title of Zhao'an, he and Guo Zu have suffered extremely heavy losses!
"General, let's go back!" His cronies approached and whispered: "The previous two wars have broken the courage, who dares to go to Penglai?" The general insisted on this, but he was afraid that there would be more escapees! ”
"But Cao Gong ...... there," Guan Cheng was still worried that Cao Cao would take his life.
"Why can't the general see through?" He whispered: "The people who boarded the ship were all old and weak, and what Cao Gong wanted us to do was just to drag the enemy ship." The enemy ship has gone, and we can't tow it even if we want to. How can Cao Gong be held accountable when he returns at this time? (To be continued.) )
