Chapter 605: Siege Machines Destroy Xuchang

Seeing Wen Ping running away, Wei Yan was shocked, he didn't want to face Huang Zhong alone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In order not to be a ghost under the knife, he also turned his horse's head and ran back. Four legs are better than two, and he quickly caught up with Wen Ping. As soon as he pulled Wen Ping on the horse, Wei Yan yelled while fleeing: "You are so unrighteous, you actually left me and ran away alone!" ”
Wen Ping said: "The old white-haired martial arts are so strong, I don't even have a horse, so I can only run first!" Your martial arts are better than mine, and you will definitely be able to run away. If I stay, I will only drag you down, righteousness is not like that! ”
"You kid is reasonable!" Wei Yan was not prepared to be more serious, and what Wen Ping said made sense, he laughed and began to concentrate on escaping. After a while, he said a little strangely: "Huang Zhong's horse is better than ours, why hasn't he caught up yet?" ”
"It should be blocked by the rebels!" In the chaotic army, even Chitu and Cuilong may be blocked, and Wen Ping is not surprising at all!
"No!" Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, he shouted: "Zhongye, quickly take something to block the vital point behind you!" ”
"Why?" Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, in his mind, even if the enemy general shot a cold arrow, he would be able to dodge it, Wei Yan made a bit of a fuss!
"Don't ask, listen to me if you don't want to die!" Wei Yan was in control of the war horse, and he really didn't have time to explain.
Seeing Wei Yan's anxious tone, Wen Ping chose to trust his brother. He put his arms around Wei Yan's waist and snatched the shield from the pawn's hand sideways, blocking behind him. Suddenly, he felt the weight of the shield, a sharp object cut through his neck, and a wisp of blood ran down his collar and into his clothes!
Not far away, Huang Zhong stood with his bow in his bow and said with a smile on his face: "The two little guys back then have grown up now!" ”
After running a long way, Wen Ping threw away the shield, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Wen Chang, you saved my life!" ”
"It was you and I who escaped in his hands!" Wei Yan said with a bitter face: "Brother Huang is still so brave!" ”
"Yellow... Brother..."Wen Ping was stunned for a moment and said: "He is Nanyang Huang Zhong?" ”
"Exactly!" Wei Yan said with a bitter face: "Back then, when we were children, we asked him for martial arts. Now, he is almost sixty years old, and he still has such ability, God really can't help me! ”
Wen Ping laughed and said, "Wen Chang, Brother Huang is already old, otherwise we will definitely not be able to run away." I think that back then, when the tiger prison was closed, he was on par with Lu Bu. Duke Qin once said that Lu Bu is the number one fierce general in the world, but if Brother Huang can draw with him, can't he explain the problem? I actually called him Old White Hair, no wonder he was so angry! ”
"Forget it, don't mention it! It's a shame that we can't beat even an old guy! The Qin army has entered the city, let's hurry up and escort the army division to retreat! Wei Yan sighed, and went to the city, he had to find Sima Yi first!
Soon, Wei Yan met Sima Yi's herald in the city. It turned out that after getting the news that everyone in the Cai family had escaped from the city, Sima Yi expected that the Cai family would offer the door, so he began to prepare for retreat. Letting Wei Yan and Wen Ping go to the north gate was just to delay time. Of course, Sima Yi also hoped that the two of them would be in time, so he didn't tell the two of them about the follow-up preparations! However, since the city is broken, he will not ignore the two of them! After joining Wei Yan and Wen Ping, Sima Yi led the army to Jiangxia and withdrew.
Jiangxia is also a rare fortified city in Jingzhou, and it is strong because it is the front line. Jiangdong and Jingzhou are feuding, and when Liu Biao was alive, the Sun family had been attacking Jiangxia. The Jingzhou army was not strong in combat, so it had to spend a lot of money to build the city, and build Jiangxia like an iron pass, but it was cheaper than Sima Yi! However, when Sima Yi arrived in Jiangxia, Lu Xun had a headache, and the means of attacking the city with makeup could no longer be used!
Lu Xun couldn't defeat Jiangxia, but Pang Tong captured Hengyang. In fact, Hengyang was not captured by Pang Tong. When Pang Tong's army approached the city, before he could shout, the city gate opened. Hengyang Taishou wrapped himself in yellow silk, and personally went out of the city to surrender with the official uniform and the civil book album, which made Pang Tong a little stunned.
can take the city without fighting, Pang Tong doesn't have much opinion. He praised Hengyang Taishou and wrote a note to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang is also generous, since Hengyang is too aware of current affairs, he waved his pen and ordered him to continue to handle government affairs in Hengyang. Only Liu Zhang allocated many small officials to Hengyang to implement policies and crack down on corruption and perversion of the law. Some officials who were boiling with public resentment were beheaded in Xishi, and Hengyang was so scared that he was too conscientious and did not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step!
Hengyang was both kept, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong led the army straight to Jiangxia, and Lu Xun also stayed in Xiakou for a long time. The tripartite division, although Sima Yi has many soldiers, he is also a little frightened when he looks at the dense Qin army outside Jiangxia City! In order to prevent Jiangxia from being attacked, Sima Yi wrote a letter to Cao Ying asking for help. And at this time, Cao Ying was also having a headache!
Cao Ying really had a headache, and in the face of Qin Jun's pressure, his head wind disease flared up again. In fact, this kind of small problem, as long as the doctor who came out of the medical school gets two injections, it will be fine immediately! But Cao Ying's suspicion was too serious, and he resolutely didn't use Liu Zhang's people. As a result, the army outside the city knocked on the door, but he leaned on the couch with his head in his arms and hummed. However, it was his persistence that made Liu Zhang play very easily!
Under the city of Xuchang, Liu Zhang has been besieging the city for more than a month. In the past month, he has not attacked once, but it has made the Xuchang guards fall into deep fear. Bed crossbows, car crossbows, machine crossbows, repeater crossbows, thunderbolts, etc., all kinds of long-range combat equipment, lined up in Xuchang City. Three or four hundred paces away, huge arrows like spears could easily shoot at the head of the city. When lucky, the giant arrow could not hit people at all, and could only shoot a gap in the city. When unlucky, an arrow can shoot through several people, and then nail it to the city wall, like a huge meat skewer!
The spear-like giant arrow is not terrible, but even more terrifying is the giant arrow with a crescent blade. Spear-like giant arrows, no matter how powerful they are, can only shoot people through. Giant arrows with crescent blades tend to shoot people in two! If you're unlucky, you can cut off several people with a single arrow. The amputated person often does not die immediately, but can only lie on the ground and cry and moan. What is terrifying is that those who were shot in two can still crawl on the upper half of their bodies, and the internal organs in their bodies flow all over the ground as they crawl!
Compared to these giant arrows, the Thunderbolt is a nightmare for the defenders. Huge stones flew everywhere, and there were no battlements or towers on the city. If it weren't for Xu Chu's guards, even Cao Ying would have been almost hit. Cao Ying has always wondered if Liu Zhang wants to fill in Xuchang with stones!
Xuchang City was already dilapidated, and it seemed that it could be taken with just one strong attack, but Liu Zhang was still indifferent, and carried siege equipment outside the city every day to ravage Xuchang. In just this month, there have been many stupefied soldiers and soldiers who have been scared stupid, and Cao Ying has also been scared out of his head disease!
"King, let's withdraw!" Looking at Cao Ying, who was lying on the couch and humming, Cheng Yu sighed and said the last thing he wanted to say!
"Withdraw? Where to retreat? Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "Zhongde, as far as those instruments outside the city are thrown down, no city can stand it!" After more than ten years of reinforcement by the lonely king, Xuchang is no less than Luoyang and Chang'an. But look at it, it's only been a month, what has happened to Xuchang? ”
"But we can't sit still!" Cheng Yu said: "King, if you stick to it, Xuchang will break sooner or later, and you need to think about countermeasures as soon as possible!" ”
"Countermeasures, how can there be countermeasures!" Cao Ying said groggyly; "I really can't imagine that Liu Zhang didn't show all his strength at the Tiger Prison Pass. If he had thrown all these weapons into the Tiger Prison, our army would have been defeated! ”
Xun You arched his hand and said: "The king's words are wrong! Liu Zhang's hands are full of siege equipment, if they are used to defend the city, it will not be so powerful! As long as we are out of range, these instruments cannot threaten our army, after all, the instruments are dead, and people are alive. ”
"Over range?" Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "When attacking the city, we can exceed the range. Now that we are defending the city, we can't let the city wall run with you! ”
Xun You said: "King, the city wall can't run, but people can, we take the initiative to attack and send people to destroy Liu Zhang's siege equipment!" ”
"Liu Zhang wishes we could take the initiative!" Cao Ying sighed: "In the battle of the Tiger Prison, the Tiger and Leopard Rider lost everything. Even if he is as fierce as Lu Bu, he can't break through Liu Zhang's army's defenses and destroy those siege equipment! ”
"Your Majesty, you are wrong!" At the Cao Jun military meeting, Lu Bu, who never spoke, said: "Then I was stopped by Senior Brother Liu Zhang, not because I was inferior to them, but because I gave up my strengths!" You know, I'm a horse warrior, and my martial arts are more suitable for horse fighting. Suffice it to say, when I get on a horse, my martial arts will be improved! ”
"This..." Cao Ying was stunned, he thought for a long time before shaking his head and said, "Feng Xian, I know you are brave." Indeed, without a war horse, your strength has dropped a lot. But Liu Zhang's brothers are also horsemen, and they don't ride horses either! How do you know that when they get on horseback, their martial arts will not improve? ”
"This..."Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, he thought that he would be promoted, but he didn't think about other people's affairs, so he could only retreat to his position quite helplessly!
"King, there is no way out now, why don't we let General Lu try, if we can destroy Liu Zhang's siege equipment, we will be more sure even if we retreat!" Cheng Yu frowned, obviously preparing to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Alas..."Cao Ying sighed and said, "In this case, let's fight!" Lu Bu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Huang, and Cao Zhang listened to the order, gathered all the cavalry in the army, and raided the siege equipment of Liu Zhang's army! Remember, you have to destroy all those devices! ”
"The last general obeys!" Although the probability of failure was very high, the five Lu Bu were extremely excited. They knew that the victory or defeat of Cao's army was in their hands. They can lay down their lives for the sake of victory. Of course, Lu Bu was so excited because he could go to the battlefield to kill people again!
