Chapter 42 Swing a heavy blow when the enemy is weak
Yu Ban's idea is of course excellent, but it is a pity that it is Hua Fei, who is famous for his wisdom, who guards Pengcheng. When Tai Shici and other main forces defeated Cao Ren's remnants in the Yashi attack.
Hua Fei quickly ordered, and after repairing and replenishing the troops with the people, the main force was replaced again. With sharp against sharp, there is a battle of life and death.
Behind Pengcheng, the main forces who were drinking water and eating dry food, and were seizing the time to rest, all looked at Hua Fei who was standing on a high place watching the battle with admiration in their eyes from time to time.
Because it was under the command of Hua Fei that they had successively defeated the five besieging teams of the Cao army. And the morale of the self-army is still high, and the physical strength is also very high.
As for the casualties, because Huafei made full preparations in advance. Early in the morning, he ordered people to bring in doctors from all over the place, and collected a large amount of medicine.
Therefore, many wounded soldiers were treated in time. Although there were many wounded, the dead were almost uncountable.
Yu Ban, who was outside the city, saw that the enemy troops on Pengcheng had been rotated. He only felt that the roots of his teeth were itching.
He only hated that he couldn't pounce on the city and catch the hateful Hua Fei. Tear off a few pieces of his flesh to relieve his hatred.
However, no matter how much he hated Hua Fei, he couldn't change the facts. He could only try his best to think about the law and see how he could take Pengcheng as soon as possible.
Siege of the city, Yu Ban as the commander of the army. Of course, he understood that his lord would not make such a decision to fill in with his life unless he had to.
He knew better that if they couldn't take the hard bone of Peng Cheng today. Then they may really have to be, because the military rations ran out and Hua Fei's wishes, and returned to Yanzhou to eat.
Although Yu Ban was anxious and racked his brains, he wanted to think of a good way to take Pengcheng. But there are only a few ways to siege the city.
Not to mention the fact that digging tunnels and piling up dirt mountains and other methods are extremely time-consuming, and they simply don't have time to use. Even ramming the city gate with a siege vehicle, this siege method.
They all gave up because they expected Hua Fei to be on guard. But how could he think of a better way to siege the city in a short period of time?
Yu Ban couldn't think of a good way, but Hua Fei saw an opportunity to take advantage of. He ordered people to use a wooden frame as a fulcrum, and then use manpower to pull the long board, and threw the blazing fireballs far away within 200 steps outside the city.
Not only did it begin to burn, but Cao Jun's corpses piled up, so that the foul smell was wrapped in thick smoke, and Cao Jun was forced by the southeast wind. There were even many fireballs, which smashed directly into the Cao Army's tightly defended shield array.
It caused panic in the shield array, increased the lethality of the defenders' bows and arrows, and instantly accelerated the casualties of the besieging Cao army. It also greatly reduced the losses of the defenders.
However, even so, Cao Jun was outnumbered after all. As time went on, as the scorching sun gradually moved westward, above the highest mountain in the west.
Under the continuous impact of Cao's army, the defenders of Pengcheng finally reached a situation where they had no choice but to rotate again. However, although they were badly damaged and exhausted, even the supplies for defending the city were already somewhat insufficient.
But they are still, excited. Because they saw that Yu Ban under the city had already thrown his last team of 10,000 people into the battle to seize the city. At this moment, they seemed to see Yu Ban's heart dripping blood.
The sorrow of the enemy is their greatest joy! As long as they defeat the last two 10,000 teams, they may be victorious!
They couldn't help but be on the blood-stained Pengcheng, beside the battlements covered with minced flesh. The grin was revealed, shining in the setting sun, a mouthful of big white teeth!
They didn't know that at this time, in Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, Dian Wei Lejin, Li Dian and other generals were ringing. Cao Cao was giving orders in a loud voice.
Immediately, Cao's trumpets and drums sounded in unison, and Cao Cao ordered that after he replenished Cao Ren, the remaining 80,000 elite Chinese troops were exhausted. With the fierce generals as the arrows, a real general attack was launched.
Just now, the defenders of Pengcheng were about to be defeated in the forbidden department. Seeing that the enemy's elite army was exhausted, but they were exhausted and could no longer resist it, so many enemy troops captured the city, and everyone was terrified for a while!
Hua Fei's gaze in the high place became cold, and he waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Order, all the lightly injured will go to the city and fight to the death with Cao Jun!" Tell everyone, as long as I resist the first round of Cao Jun's attack, I will have a way to make Cao Jun retreat. ”
Since Hua Fei took over the defense of Pengcheng, he has repeatedly defeated Cao's army. His words were like a timely shot in the arm, instantly boosting the morale of the defenders.
As his order was delivered, countless lightly injured people grabbed their weapons and stood back at the head of the city again. They believe Hua Fei's words, and they believe that the wise Hua Fei will lead them to defeat Cao Jun and create another miracle!
When they came to the top of the city, Tai Shici and the others, whose morale had been revitalized, also happened to defeat the remnants of Yu Ban. Cao Cao personally led 80,000 elites and generals to the outside of Pengcheng.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked up at Peng Chengtou, who was crowded with wounded soldiers, in the pungent and foul-smelling smoke. He smiled coldly and waved a few words from a herald.
The herald quickly ran out of range and shouted, "Ah! Listen, the people of the city, my lord has said, you are not strong enough. If we continue to fight, we will definitely die, and our army's elite will be exhausted, and there will be fierce generals who will take the lead in attacking the city! ”
He paused, swallowed his saliva, and cried out again: "If you continue to fight, you will definitely die!" My lord has a heavenly heart and a good life! If you wait for Kaesong to surrender now, then the past will not be investigated, and you will not be guilty. ”
Hua Fei sighed in his heart when he heard this, Cao Cao is really powerful! Not only the timing of the elite battle, but also the grasp of it is excellent! What's even more terrifying is that this trick is really powerful.
It can not only improve the morale of the own army, but also have the intention of breaking the morale of the defenders. It's a brilliant plan for two eagles!
Even he, at such a moment, when he heard such words, had some impulses to surrender. Not to mention the exhausted defenders.
However, he also knew that Cao Cao, as a party candidate, had already issued his order to lift the ban for three days, and there was no reason to take it back. You must know that you have no jokes, but what monarch dares to lose his trust to hundreds of thousands of subordinates at one time?
Therefore, Hua Fei clenched his fists to cover his mouth and 'coughed', and shouted loudly: "For such an important matter, can Cao Gong let me wait and think about it for two more days?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao, who was full of confidence and a smile on his face, instantly sank his face. He had good intentions, and Hua Fei was his enemy. Not to mention anything else, just the mountain of corpses in front of me!
It is enough to show what kind of enemy Hua Fei is. Doesn't he hate Hua Fei? The answer is yes, he hates! I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives!
But he loves talent, and in several confrontations, he has suffered Huafei's losses. Even the most precious life was almost lost in his hands!
But this also made him even more heartfelt, admiring Hua Fei's military command talent! So even if he knew that this order to surrender would deeply hurt the hearts of the soldiers under his command.
He still gave the order to surrender. He could see it clearly, when the order was given. Yu Ban's eyes were flushed, and his cheeks were high and bony.
He knew that Yu Ban was gritting his teeth and restraining his anger. He knew that this could not be blamed, after all, his brothers were still burning in the smoke of the fire in front of him...
He even considered it because of this, once Hua Fei surrendered himself. He should arrange more elite soldiers for Hua Fei to protect his personal safety.
lest he be hurt by the hatred of his subordinates. Unfortunately, Hua Fei finally rejected his kindness. Since such a talent can't be used by me, then...
Cao Cao let out a long sigh and looked up at the city. Look at the purgatory-like miserable situation in front of you, and look at the exhausted defenders at the head of the city. His gaze grew cold, and his right hand slowly raised.
At this moment, he only felt that there were too many people and things in life, and it was difficult to choose. He could see the exhaustion of the defenders of Pengcheng in front of him very clearly.
He also knew that Peng Cheng was almost already in his pocket. However, the soldiers were in danger, and Peng Cheng was broken, even if he now gave the order to capture Hua Fei alive.
Hua Fei is also likely to die tragically at the hands of his group of hateful subordinates who are full of hatred because of the death of their comrades. After all, the soldiers are in danger, and no one can say for sure, whether Hua Fei will die because of a stray arrow...
