Chapter 51 Dispatch of Soldiers

Puyang City as the seat of governance of the East County, the city wall is as high as three zhang, one zhang thick, and there is a moat outside the city, which can be said to be a typical strong city.

Historically, under this Puyang city, the traitorous male Cao Cao led the army to attack for a long time, so he used a strategy to try to rebel against the rich households in the city and capture Lu Bu. No, the strategy was seen through by Chen Gong, Cao Cao was almost killed by Lu Bu, but fortunately, the general Dian Wei came to the rescue, which saved his life.

It can be seen that the solidity of this Puyang city is so strong that even a generation of traitorous male Cao Cao is helpless against it, and can only sigh with joy.

Not only Cao Cao, but also the Yellow Turban Daqu Shuai Buji and Peng Tuo also had no way to take it. Historically, Qiaomao, who belonged to a typical soy sauce party, with only these 3,000 county soldiers, could make as many as 100,000 or 200,000 Yellow Turban troops sink into the sand, and the tenacity of this city can be seen from this.

"Damn, it's been three days, you bunch of waste, stupid pigs", looking at Puyang City, which was like a reef in the sea, standing four hundred steps away, Peng Tuo finally couldn't help but scold.

This handsome yellow turban who is only thirty-three years old has a strong figure and a strong physique. Since the uprising, Peng Tuo has always been known for his courage and fierceness, and he is a fierce general under Bocai, and he is deeply loved by Bocai. That's why he was entrusted with the position of commander of the 100,000 army by Bocai, leading the troops to reinforce his junior brother, Yanzhou Daqu Marshal Buji.

No, Peng Tuo led 100,000 horses and horses to walk less than half the distance, and he heard that Bu Ji had been wiped out by an elite cavalry of the Han army. Although there is no definite information, Peng Tuo still feels that his trip will not be as smooth sailing as Dashuai Bocai said.

Therefore, Peng Tuo had just entered the territory of Yanzhou, so he attacked the city and plundered the strong men. Although it delayed for some time, it also increased the number of troops to 200,000 men, doubling the number of troops.

But what Peng Tuo didn't expect was that Puyang City, which had only 3,000 defenders, would be so difficult to overcome. If this is known by the marshal and his colleagues in the Yuzhou Army, I don't know how they will laugh at themselves!

Thinking of this, Peng Tuo roared angrily: "Send 5,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers and 10,000 infantry troops to continue the siege."

As Pentu's order was handed down, an army of about 5,000 men began to attack. This 5,000-strong Yellow Turban Army is much stronger than the friendly troops that are besieging the city, both in terms of equipment and mental outlook.

"Drink, drink, drink", a melodious cry shook the heavens and the earth, and five thousand strong Yellow Turban wrestlers took over the attack position at the south gate. Under the command of the leading general Cao Yu, he began to climb the ladder with a force of 2,000 men, and the rest of the men and horses followed.

"Rolling wood, rocks and stones, archers release arrows", on the city, the bridge mao with armor on his body, although he is dressed as a general, but the style of the scribe who is deep in his bones is still undiminished.

Soon, the Han army, which had been preparing for a long time, began to throw rolling wood stones at the city in turn. In an instant, the raindrops of rolling logs and gravel smashed on the head of the besieging Yellow Turban Lux, and the heavy rolling logs and gravel could not only smash the Yellow Turban Warrior on the ladder. After falling from the sky, the force of falling it carried was also the amulet of the Yellow Turban Warriors, and in just a few minutes, at least two or three hundred Yellow Turban Warriors were killed or injured.

The feathered arrows fired by the Han army's crossbowmen and archers were even worse.

You must know that the Yellow Turban Army is still a peasant rebel army in the final analysis, although the Yellow Turban Warriors are better equipped than the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, but that is only in weapons. It is far less than a pair of armor for each person, or a shield for each person.

In the face of the feathered arrows like flying locusts in the rainstorm, the Yellow Turban wrestlers who lacked adequate defensive equipment fell in pieces, blood stained the ground red, and a painful howl was terrifying.

However, the Yellow Turban wrestlers are elite after all, and their fighting will and combat effectiveness are much stronger than those of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, and the death of their comrades-in-arms not only did not break their will, but instead stimulated the ferocity and blood hidden in their bodies.

"Brothers, conquer Puyang, and everything in the city is yours. Kill!! Seeing that the attack was blocked, Cao Yu immediately shouted, and also joined the siege team with a simple knife in his hand.

The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in this short distance of two or three hundred paces, and when the weapon was broken, it was smashed with fists and bitten with teeth. Under the temptation of interests, the Yellow Turban wrestlers are like ocean waves, hitting the city wall wave after wave.

The sun sets, and after a day of fierce fighting. The city of Puyang remained impregnable, despite the fierce offensive of the Yellow Turban Army and its stubborn fighting. However, the defenders of the city know better that once the city is broken, not only will they die, but even their families will be brutally slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army, because these have already set precedents, and there is no need to repeat them again. With an obsession to defend their homeland, these Han soldiers all fought desperately to the death.

Looking at Puyang City, which was still as solid as a rock, Peng was angry. Although he really wanted to put the Celestial Guards into battle, reason told him that the Celestial Guards were his own soldiers and could not easily go to the battlefield. Each of them is the most elite warrior, and they can't just be wasted on siege warfare.

Peng Tuo, who was helpless, had to shout angrily: "Retreat", and retreated with a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers

Twenty miles away from Puyang, a Han army of 8,000 people was stationed at the foot of Xunyang Mountain.

There is a reason why Liu Jindare is so close to Puyang City. That is, he has two elite cavalry under his command, the white horse is good at riding and shooting, all of them are excellent scouts, and all the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army who encountered them were all wiped out by the white horse without exception.

"Generals, the military situation is urgent, and our army will march south after this battle, so this battle must be resolved quickly. The congregation will listen to orders". Liu Jin broke off drinking, Gongsun Zhan and the others were all shocked, and promised in unison: "The end will be."

"Where are Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Liao, and Meng Yong?" Liu Jin said.

When the three of them heard this, they immediately stepped forward, clasped their fists with both hands and said, "The end will be."

Looking at the three of them, Liu Jin did not hesitate, took out one of the arrows held by Xiao Wuwei next to him, and said loudly: "Order the three of you to lead more than 3,000 people from the White Horse Yicong and Youzhou Jingcai to secretly approach the Yellow Turban camp, but when you see the fire in the camp, you will rush straight to the commander of the Yellow Turban Army with light horses, and be sure to kill the thief leader Peng Tuo." This battle is related to the safety of our army, and I hope that the three generals will do their best to fight! ”。

"Nuo" The three of them agreed in unison, and Gongsun Zhan, the highest-ranking military officer, took a step forward to take the arrow, and the three of them turned around and ordered their troops.

"Where are He Kang, Liu Yun, and Zhao Zheng?" Liu Jin broke off again, and nodded.

Three officers in iron armor and swords at their waists lined up in unison, bowed down and replied, "The last general."

"I ordered you and the other three to lead 800 White Tiger troops to ambush outside the Yellow Turban camp, but seeing that the camp was on fire, half of the men and horses were divided into the camp. Another 400 men and horses waved their flags and shouted outside the camp, drumming up the momentum." Liu Jin understood that this White Tiger Army had been formed for too short a time, and its combat effectiveness was still too weak to be suitable for this kind of large-scale engagement.

When the three of them heard this, they also agreed in unison, and after receiving the arrows, they went down to prepare to go.

When these people left, Liu Jin looked at Meng Yao, Liu Yang, Hierro, and Meng Ang in front of him, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Among the four, Hierro has the highest martial arts and is suitable for charging into battle. Meng Yao has followed him for a long time, and he is also a good player at charging into battle. And Liu Yang and Meng Ang are too young to be reused.

Who is it that Jiujing wants to entrust to this most difficult task? Liu Jin couldn't make up his mind in his heart, and couldn't help but hesitate.

After coming over for a long time, Liu Jin made up his mind and said in his heart: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, do it!" ”

"Where is Meng Yao?"

Meng Yao also waited for a long time here, and had been listening to Liu Jin's dispatch of generals before, but he didn't order himself, and he was worried for a long time. Now that he finally heard Liu Jin call his name, he immediately clenched his fists and said in a resolute tone: "The end will be."

"Order you to lead six hundred soldiers recruited from the people of Yan County secretly" Saying this, Liu Jin's voice was lowered, and he whispered something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Meng Yao's expression was also quite solemn, and he listened to Meng Yao's sonorous words: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely live up to his mission."

When Liu Jin heard this, he nodded solemnly, and said: "The success or failure of this battle is all on you, you must be cautious."

When Meng Yao heard this, he didn't speak, but nodded emphatically and turned around.

After Meng Yao left, Liu Jin called Liu Yang again and whispered something to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang's expression was also solemn when he heard this, but Liu Yang was more decisive than Meng Yao, only to see a persistent look in Liu Yang's eyes, and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, don't worry, Yang will go." Immediately, Liu Yang also turned around and left.

"Monang. Where is Hierro? ”

"The last will be", these two people also bowed down and clasped their fists, and promised in unison.

"Order the two of you to lead the Yanmen Iron Cavalry and the rest of the rangers to follow me and listen to my dispatch."

"No," the two agreed, and went down to mobilize the people.

After the two left, Liu Jin looked up at the dark night sky, and muttered: "In this battle, I don't know how many men died on the battlefield, alas! ”。

The night breeze was still slightly cool, and several Han army cavalry with varying numbers of people quietly opened up in the night, and they were in a hurry, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, like ghosts, as if they had never existed. (To be continued)
