Chapter 484: Shihu City was frustrated
After Xue Tao's repeated instigation, he finally selected nearly 6,000 qualified Qingzhou soldiers and mixed them with the 6,000 Liaodong Army, and the number of available soldiers in his hands reached more than 10,000. Although the www.biquge.info strength of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is far less than that of Shihu's army, it is enough to defend the city.
After Cao Wei heard this, in addition to sighing that the Liaodong people were powerful, he could only watch Xue Tao firmly grasp the Guanggu military power in his own hands.
But Cao Wei had no choice in this regard, none of his subordinates could take charge alone, in order to prevent Qianhu from breaking Guanggu, he could only use Liaodong behind Xue Tao.
……
Ma Qiu took this scattered team and saw Shi Hu dejectedly. He also felt very ashamed - he was defeated at the hands of the young general Xie Ai, and at the same time, when the troops were far outnumbered.
Shi Hu angrily summoned Ma Qiu, the general of the defeated army, and reprimanded him viciously: "Before I go, I repeatedly told you to be careful of the sneak attack of the Liaodong Army, why did you turn a deaf ear?" ”
Facing Ma Qiu, who fled back with the remnants of the soldiers, Shi Hu almost couldn't help but chop the other party with a knife.
He roared angrily at Ma Qiu, "Are you a waste? More than 10,000 troops were defeated by a weak scholar, and the opponent's strength was only half of yours. I'm a little skeptical that you're too weak, or if Xie Ai is too strong? ”
Ma Qiu knelt on the ground in frustration and did not say a word, allowing Shi Hu to vent the anger in his heart. As a confidant general who has followed Shi Hu for many years, he knows Shi Hu very well, as long as he lets the other party vent the anger in his heart, it will be fine.
Li Nong next to him persuaded in a timely manner: "General, presumably General Ma Qiu was only taken advantage of by Xie Ai for a moment of carelessness, so you might as well give him another chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
"Humph!" Shi Hu glared at Ma Qiu fiercely and said, "I'll give you another chance to replenish the soldiers and horses in your hands for 10,000 people." Next, you must recapture Linqu as soon as possible, and never allow a Liaodong army to go north from Linqu to Guanggu, understand? ”
Ma Qiu nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was finally fine.
After Ma Qiu beat his horse and left, Li Nong and Zhang Ju saw that Shi Hu was still angry, so they persuaded him: "The general doesn't need to be annoyed, even if Xie Ai defeats Ma Qiu, as long as the main army takes Guanggu, it will not hinder the overall situation." ”
"Well, it makes sense, it is rumored that I will order the army to be pulled out and go to Guanggu!"
A few days later, Shi Hu personally led the main force of Qianhu to Guanggu City. There was little resistance along the way, and the 50,000-strong army of Qianhu successfully reached the city of Guanggu.
Among the 50,000 Qianhu troops, the elite cavalry alone accounted for more than half, and there were 1,000 of them from the most elite heavy cavalry of Xiangguo, the Longxiang Black Lance Army.
The remaining 20,000 people are all elite infantry adapted from the original beggar army, and their main role is to attack the city.
Guanggu City is a newly built city after Cao Wei entered Qingzhou, thanks to the use of cement, making Guanggu far more dangerous than Shi Hu imagined.
Guanggu City is located in the southeast of Yaowang Mountain, surrounded by the Fork River around the city, surrounded by a stream, the water is deep, and the city defense ability is extremely strong.
Shi Hu, who was on the horse, couldn't help but look at the city in front of him, and his heart was cloudy. The Guanggu city wall is too high, taller and stronger than the city wall of Luoyang, the capital of Jin.
I didn't expect that Cao Lao Pifu was really willing to spend money for the sake of his life! Shi Hu couldn't help but secretly discuss.
Just as Shi Hu was busy looking at Guanggu, Cao Wei, who was standing on the city wall, was also looking at Shi Hu below without blinking. To tell the truth, although Cao Wei was also afraid of Shi Le, for some reason, he was afraid of the brutal Shi Hu to the core. If it weren't for the Liaodong Army behind his back this time, he would have raised his hand and surrendered as soon as Shi Hu arrived.
Shi Hu's gaze gradually moved, and suddenly a murderous aura burst out of his eyes and shot directly at Cao Wei at the head of the city.
Facing Shi Hu's gaze, Cao Wei was almost paralyzed to the ground by fright, but fortunately he was helped by Xue Tao beside him.
"Cao Yuanjun, there is the Liaodong Army, why are you afraid of a mere Hulu?"
Cao Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied with an embarrassed face: "I heard that Shi Hu is cruel and unkind, thanks to General Xue's help this time." ”
Shi Hu under the city saw Cao Wei's embarrassed appearance, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, and then his gaze swept over Qingzhou's civil and military forces one by one, and most of them avoided like Cao Wei as if they were hiding from the plague.
Only Xue Tao faced Shi Hu's compelling gaze without showing a trace of weakness! He is not representing one person, but the representative of the entire Liaodong, with the powerful Liaodong Army behind him, so he will naturally not be afraid of Shi Hu.
Originally, Shi Hu was contemptuous of the cowardice of Qingzhou, and he didn't expect to meet someone who was not afraid of death.
Xue Tao and Shi Hu looked at each other, no one was to be outdone, and they collided with fierce sparks in the air!
"General, the city of Guanggu is dangerous, and now there is a large army to defend it, I'm afraid it will not be easy to capture!"
His henchman Li Nong followed behind Shi Hu, staring at the tall and dangerous Guanggu City, and couldn't help but feel emotional. The danger of Guanggu is still above Luoyang and Xiangguo.
Shi Hu bowed slightly, and said with a solemn gaze: "I heard that in order to build Guanggu City, Cao Lao Pifu did not throw money into it, and most of the cement produced on Laoshan Mountain was used in Guanggu City. The key is that the Liaodong Army entered Guanggu one step ahead of us, if it weren't for its sideways footing, Lao Tzu would not have forced Cao Wei to surrender at this time! ”
"Now that it is impossible to force Cao Wei to surrender, then we can only rely on a strong attack! Pass the order, and the army is ready quickly! ”
After a while, the army of 50,000 Qihu was reorganized, and they stood neatly under the city of Guanggu, murderous.
Looking at the black pressure under the city, Xue Tao held the ring-headed knife with a serious face, just looking at the momentum shown by the army of the city under the city, he knew that the leader was not a simple person.
Xue Tao's feeling is right, although Shi Hu is brutal and unkind, he is indeed a first-class general under Shi Le, who has been in battle for a long time and rarely loses. But its killing is too heavy, the army often slaughters the city and destroys the village, in history Shi Hu once forced Cao Wei to surrender, the people in Guanggu City were almost wiped out, leaving only a few hundred.
"Shi Hu!" Xue Tao's mind flashed information related to Shi Hu, this person had already been registered with the Liaodong military, and he was one of the Hulu that Da Sima never forgot.
"Come on, Shi Hu, let me see if you're a famous general with a good name, or if I'm Xue Tao's skills!"
"My lord, Hu Lu is about to attack!" Looking at the constantly moving phalanx of the Kahu army, the defenders exclaimed!
"Woo woo woo ......"
The passionate war drums and desolate horns sounded under the Guanggu city, and the Hulu marched towards the Guanggu city wall with neat steps after the formation, the speed was not slow or urgent, giving people a feeling as thick as a mountain.
The defenders at the head of the city felt the strong momentum of the Qianhu, and some of the recruits who had been reorganized from the original Qingzhou soldiers, the hands holding the weapons involuntarily oozing sweat, and at the same time, their breathing involuntarily became short, and the tense atmosphere began to envelop the entire city.
At the same time, the suffocating murderous aura kept floating from the Hulu army under Guanxia, and kept converging above the Guanggu sky, and the killing intent surged, which provoked everyone above and below Hulu to show a fierce light, and the hand holding the weapon kept waving, and the weapon screamed when it was fighting, as if waiting for the call to battle at any time.
At the same time, Shi Hu's eyes showed a fierce light, his eyes were firmly fixed on the Guanggu city wall, and with a wave of his big hand, the infantry under his command began to howl and rush towards Guanggu City!
At this time, Cao Wei spent a huge amount of money to build the city defense system and finally played a role, under the operation of the Liaodong Army, the catapults and city defense ballistas equipped on the head of the city exerted great power. Large and small gravel, crossbow arrows, split the head and cover the face to the hulu, and the originally high morale of the hu was suddenly smashed and the ghost cried wolf.
Under the command of Xue Tao, the defenders relied on the tall city walls and sharp defensive equipment to make the besieging Hulu suffer enough.
And Cao Wei saw that he had forced back the first wave of Hu Lu's attack so easily, and he immediately put his mind at ease, and he no longer had to worry about Hu Lu breaking the city.
At the same time, the progress of the army was not smooth, and Shi Hu was so angry that he was thunderous. In the face of the hedgehog-like Guanggu City, all the Hu Lu were helpless, and even Li Nong, who had always been resourceful, was helpless.
"Woo ......"
A desolate trumpet sounded, and the attacking army of the Qianghu suddenly retreated like a tidal wave. It was as if the sand was washed by a big wave, leaving only corpses and bloodstained walls, showing the world that there had been a tragic battle here. (To be continued.) )
