Chapter 849: Storming Nanpi
Nanpi was attacked by Cao's army for several days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The defenders of the city were already exhausted.
At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Yuan army stretched out their bows and arrows, aiming at the Cao army that was advancing.
The tidal wave of Cao Jun carried the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
The arrows were on the bowstring, staring at the Cao army who was getting closer and closer, and the hands of some Yuan soldiers were trembling with excitement.
Carrying the ladder, Cao Jun rushed to the city wall quickly.
At the head of the city, an officer of the Yuan army shouted: "Shoot arrows!" ”
With the shouting, countless arrows flew towards the city.
The soldiers of the Cao army in the charge fell in an instant.
The Cao army launched an attack on Nanpi, and Yuan Xu also led the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion to clean up the battlefield at this time.
After a battle, most of Guo Jia and Xun You's subordinates were lost, a small number of troops fled to Nanpi, and some of them fled in all directions, not knowing where to go.
In this battle, the casualties of the Tianhai battalion were negligible.
On the battlefield where they have been fought, there are corpses of Cao Jun everywhere, and occasionally one or two corpses of Tianhai Camp can be seen lying in a pool of blood.
Riding a horse and walking in a place full of corpses, Yuan Xu ordered the soldiers: "Bury the corpses and march to Nanpi as soon as possible!" ”
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who received the order, dug many big pits on the spot.
A corpse of Cao Jun was thrown into the pit.
When the pit was filled with corpses, the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion filled it with earth again.
Watching the soldiers bury the corpses, a fast horse came to Yuan Xu's vicinity.
The wind shadow on horseback turned over and jumped down, ran in front of Yuan Xu, hugged his fists and said: "Qiyu Gongzi, Cao Cao learned that Guo Jia and Xun You were defeated, and he has stepped up the siege of the city, and Nanpi is about to lose!" ”
Knowing that Nanpi was about to be lost, Yuan Xu shouted: "Buried hastily, the army marches towards Nanpi!" ”
The Tianhai battalion sped up the burial.
In some places, the bodies were not even buried in the ground.
So much so that a few days later, some of Cao Jun's corpses were dragged out of the pit by nearby wild dogs and dragged everywhere.
Yuan Xu led the army to Nanpi, and Guo Jia, Xun You and others had fled back to Cao Cao's army in a hurry.
Seeing Guo Jia, Xun You, Xiahou and others, Cao Cao was stunned: "How can the princes be like this? ”
"Yuan Xianxin led the army to make a detour, and we must have attacked Cao Gong!" Xun You clenched his fists and said, "I don't want him to suddenly turn around and kill us." A certain and Guo Gong did not investigate for a while, so that the army was defeated! ”
Cao Cao has always relied on Guo Jia and Xun You.
The two of them used troops together, but they were defeated in the hands of Yuan Xu, which really surprised Cao Cao.
"Yuan Xianxin is so good?"
Guo Jia and Xun You's faces are not very good-looking.
has been fighting with the Yuan family in Hebei for many years, and Yuan Xu can be regarded as chess opponents, and there is nothing wrong with losing to him.
The key is that they have more soldiers than Yuan Xu in this battle, but they are not Yuan Xu's opponents!
The two of them clenched their fists and bowed without saying a word.
Cao Cao frowned tightly and asked the two, "A certain has ordered a strong attack on Nanpi, how many hours will it take for Yuan Xianxin to reach here?" ”
"If you talk about the distance, it's only three or five hours." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Xianxin is no longer what it used to be, Cao Gong should be cautious!" ”
Cao Cao twisted his beard, nodded and said, "From the perspective of Fengxiao and Gongda, Yuan Xianxin is here, how should I deal with it?" ”
Glancing at each other, Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong ignored Yuan Xianxin and ordered the army to storm Nanpi!" ”
"What if Yuan Xianxin kills from behind?" Cao Cao asked.
"Although our army attacked Nanpi, the soldiers were far superior to Yuan Xianxin!" Guo Jia said: "This battle against Cao Gong has only one go, and there is no other way!" ”
There are more soldiers and horses than Yuan Tan, even if Yuan Xu leads the army to come, compared with Cao's army, the number is still at a disadvantage.
However, the current situation seems to be completely tilted towards the side of the Yuan brothers.
If Nanpi City cannot be breached, Cao's army will fall into the dilemma of being attacked on the back of the enemy.
Twisting his chin, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Cao Chun had been standing behind him, and seeing Cao Cao's entangled face, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Cao Gong, the last general is willing to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack the city!" ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Our army has attacked the city several times, and there is no sign of breaking the city in Nanpi. If a tiger and leopard ride into the battlefield, once something happens, it will be a loss of an arm! ”
"Cao Gong!" Cao Chun said: "It is precisely because the army has attacked the city and there is no sign of breaking the city, so the last general asked for orders. The tiger and leopard ride is the elite under the command of Cao Gong, and the so-called edge is in the sleeve, and it is not beneficial! is Cao Cao's arm, why not let him conquer the battlefield and make contributions to Cao Gong! ”
"Earlier, the Haw Par Ride was already a contribution!" Cao Cao said: "600 people defeated 50,000 Yuan Tan's command, what do you still want? ”
"Although Yuan Tan was defeated, his head was not obtained!" Cao Chun said: "The last general asked for battle this time, but he went for Yuan Tan's head. ”
Looking at Cao Chun, Cao Cao did not answer immediately.
Yuan Xu saw that it was easy to kill, if Nanpi was not broken, it would be him Cao Cao who would be defeated here in the end!
Frowning, Cao Cao was still hesitating, Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong can give it a try!" ”
Although he was newly defeated in the hands of Yuan Xu, Guo Jia's words in front of Cao Cao still carried a lot of weight.
Pulling the beard on his chin, Cao Cao was still confused.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Cao Chun: "You are allowed to go to the siege city, if it is unfavorable, withdraw immediately!" ”
"Don't worry, Cao Gong!" Cao Chun replied: "The last general will definitely be Cao Gong to defeat Nanpi!" ”
Cao Chun turned around and left, and after a while, he left the barracks with six hundred tigers and leopards.
The tigers and leopards rode out of the camp, dismounted one after another, holding large shields and long lances, and followed the army towards the Nanpi city wall.
As the elite under Cao Cao, the Haw Par Rider is even more well-equipped.
They were dressed in scaly armor, and although they were heavier than ordinary Cao Jun when they ran, they did not shoot vital arrows, but they could not help them.
Rushing to the cloud ladder, the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers pushed away the Cao army in front of them, and climbed along the cloud ladder to the top of the city.
The tidal wave of Cao's army launched an attack on the city.
The Yuan army at the head of the city kept shooting arrows, and the Cao army besieging the city fell from the ladder one after another.
The tiger and leopard riders who charged among the soldiers of Cao's army climbed to the top of the ladder, and they did not rush to the city wall, but held a long lance and stabbed the city head from the gap between the battlements.
After stabbing more than ten times in a row, taking advantage of Yuan Jun's failure to rush forward, they were wearing bulky armor, but they jumped up the city wall like apes.
Someone killed the city wall, and Yuan Jun immediately rushed forward, wanting to kill them on the spot.
As soon as the vacancy came out, more and more Cao troops climbed to the top of the city, and the counterattack effect of Yuan's army was not as effective as they expected.
Looking at the Nanpi city wall from afar, seeing Cao Jun killed, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked up a smile.
A guard flew up behind him, clasped his fists and said, "Qi Cao Gong, Yuan Xianxin's army has reached a distance of only twenty miles from our army!" ”
Twenty miles is not very far away on the battlefield.
Cao Cao ordered: "Intensify the siege of the city, and be sure to take the city before Yuan Xianxin comes!" (To be continued.) )
