Chapter 295: Xuchang Attack and Defense
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and Zhao Fei has been a little uneasy in the past few days. Although Lü Bu's army outside the city did not attack the city, judging by all indications, it was just a calm before the storm.
Through the information sent by the scout agents, Zhao Fei could learn that Lu Bu, who had learned about this, was ordering people to kill him to build a cloud ladder to attack the city. And in addition to the ladder, he actually ordered someone to build a few rushing cars.
Moreover, it is said that the south gate and the north gate also found the stationing of Lu Bu's army, which was even more dwarfed by the Cao army, which was already underarmed. Although there were not many Lu Bu troops at the south gate and the north gate, they had to be guarded. And this is obviously what Chen Gong used to disperse his own troops, how can it not be worried. Although both sides are supplemented, who knows if it will suddenly become the main attack.
After getting the news, Zhao Fei was in a bad mood. Not only that, Zhao Fei was also very helpless, because Zhao Fei couldn't do anything about Lu Bu's army outside the city, so he could only watch Lu Bu's army build siege equipment. Now all he can do is wait for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops early, and wait for the opportunity to break the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, in Zhao Fei's opinion, the chance of being able to break the enemy in one fell swoop is very small. If it's just one Lu Bu, it's easy to say, but now adding a Chen Gong doesn't mean the same. At least Chen Gong would not make such a low-level mistake.
However, Zhao Fei has not been busy these days, what he has to do now is to let the wolf soldiers learn to ride horses. Although the wolf pack soldiers have done a long time of infantry, there is no mobile force in Xuchang City at this time, so Zhao Fei can only let the wolf pack come to replace him temporarily. After all, in the entire Xuchang City, the most idle are the wolf soldiers.
As an elite force in Xuchang City, the wolves have the capital to decide the outcome of the war, so these elite Zhao Fei will not shoot them to defend the city. And unless it comes to the point of last resort, Zhao Fei does not plan to use the wolf pack soldiers.
Because of this, the wolves, although elite, have nothing to do. But teaching wolves to ride horses is a difficult thing to do. It is obviously difficult for a strong man to get the king of land to get used to fighting on horseback, especially since the soldiers of the wolf pack are the kind of army that strives to be the first. Therefore, they have very high requirements for themselves, which also makes everyone learn for several days, and the effect of single thinking is not very obvious.
However, the wolf pack soldiers obviously can't stand and walk yet, but their goal has been positioned to run. You must know that the elite cavalry is all practice makes perfect, relying on the short-term assault of the wolf pack soldiers, it is obviously not much effective.
"It seems that the wolves can only dominate the road, and this horse is really beyond their control." Looking at the very ineffective wolf pack soldiers, Zhao Fei could only shake his head helplessly in the end.
And when Zeng Pei heard Zhao Fei's words, he couldn't help but bow his head with some shame. However, for this kind of training performance, the two are also quite blushing. And just as he was about to say something, a hurried horn sounded again.
"It's coming!" Hearing the horn, Zhao Fei said with some solemnity. Then he turned to the two of them and said, "You two continue to let the wolves contact and ride horses, I'll go and see." ”
"My lord, take me with you, too!" Seeing that Zhao Fei was about to leave, the painting style grabbed Zhao Fei as soon as he could. For a martial artist like the painting style, if there is a war and he is not allowed to participate, then he will be unbearable and will not be able to stop for a moment.
Zhao Fei glanced at the painting style, and then said to the painting style: "If you can meet my requirements as required, I will allow you to go to the battlefield." ”
After listening to Zhao Fei's words, the painting style suddenly showed bitterness. Looking at the werewolves, the painting style can be regarded as the worst person riding a horse. Moreover, this person's understanding of horseback riding is extremely poor, and no matter how others hand him over, he can go in and out of his left ear yesterday morning.
Knowing that he had no hope of fighting, the painting style could only pull his head and let go of Zhao Fei. For Zhao Fei's request, he is simply making things difficult for himself.
Seeing that the painting style let go of himself, Zhao Fei hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and when he was about to ride away, Zhao Fei suddenly said to the painting style: "Practice hard, it won't take long for you to kill the Quartet, but now it's ......" Zhao Fei's words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.
Hearing that he could kill all sides, the painting style nodded excitedly, and then he said with a happy face: "Don't worry, my lord, I must meet the requirements you need." ”
However, before the words of painting style were finished, Zhao Fei and Zema rushed towards the east gate of Xuchang City.
The horn came from the east gate, and the east gate was also stationed by Lu Bu's army, so as long as there was a little war, it was reminiscent of the east gate.
Zhao Fei led his troops to the east gate quickly, and at this time the city wall was still very quiet, and there was no noise at all, which made Zhao Fei feel a lot more relieved. But after the peace of mind, there was worry, and it was clear that the horn was not a joke. Lu Bujun is here today, but this matter is just gathering strength.
Walking quickly up the city wall, Zhao Fei found Xun Yu with a bitter face. At this time, Xun Yu was looking out of the city with a helpless expression, and Zhao Fei clearly heard Lu Bu being scolding frantically under the city.
At the same time, Lu Bu under the city wall scolded Zhengshuang. Although he knew that his method was useless at all. But he still couldn't help but use this method to express his uneasy feelings.
On the side, Chen Gong looked at the picture in front of him and didn't say anything. Although Lu Bu's move is a bit naïve, it is also a way to increase his momentum. Although this move had little effect, since Lu Bu liked it, let him go, anyway, it was not himself who scolded people, so why should he bother to ask for his own trouble.
Lu Bu scolded for a while, and then felt a little dry before stopping. Riding the horse back to the front of the formation, he turned to Chen Gong and asked, "Sir, is very offensive now. ”
Chen Gong nodded with a dark face. In fact, he could have attacked a long time ago, if it wasn't for Lu Bu who had to scold the formation, he would have almost been able to attack the city of Xuchang City now.
"Attack!" With Chen Gong's approval, Lu Bu commanded the soldiers under his command. Then, I heard the soldiers screaming and attacked Xuchang City. Soon, Xuchang City will begin to stage an extremely tragic battle again.
Unlike last time, this time Lu Bu's army came prepared, which made the Cao army defending the city suddenly under great pressure. Fortunately, through the efforts of the past few days, the defenses on the city walls have also been improved. With the help of soldiers and civilians, all the rolling logs and stones were put on the city wall.
And all this is thanks to Xun Yu, if he is replaced by Zhao Fei, it is obvious that he does not have such a high cohesion. But also, Xun Yu is in charge of internal affairs, often appears in the city, and often has to do something to win the hearts of the people. On the other hand, Zhao Fei led the troops to fight unexpectedly, and then there was no chance to show up. But these two people are a perfect match together.
On the city wall, the two of them looked at the surging Lu Bu army, and they were in an unusually bad mood. Although there are many more defensive facilities on the city walls, the situation is still not very optimistic. Lu Bu came to attack this time, obviously he was well prepared, and the same thing as last time would not happen. Moreover, a herald has just sent news that the two city gates in the north and south have also found traces of the enemy, and it seems that there is a suspicion of attacking the city.
This is obviously to disperse the garrison in the city, but if you don't take precautions, if the two city gates really attack the city, then you will be passive. So he was very helpless, and Zhao Fei ordered people to arrange 300 soldiers to guard the city on each of the two city gates.
"Kill!" Lü Bu's army had already entered the attack range of Cao's army, and this time the soldiers did not use Zhao Fei's reminder to launch an offensive against Lü Bu's army alone.
The bow and arrow were shot down as quickly as if they didn't need money. Soon, Lu Bu's army took the lead in casualties. However, the rain of arrows on his head could not stop the momentum of Lu Bu's army, and despite the rain of arrows, Lu Bu's army still rushed towards Xuchang City.
With the passage of time, someone has touched the city of Xuchang City, and then with the arrival of the soldiers carrying the ladder, the ladders began to be supported, and then Lu Bu's soldiers began to look forward to the ladder to climb beyond the Xuchang city wall.
"Put!" Seeing that people began to climb the ladder, the rolling logs that had been prepared long ago were put down by Cao Jun, who was defending the city. As the rolling wood rolled down the ladder, the soldiers of the Lu Bu army, who had climbed to the general level, were given the rolling wood, and then fell heavily into the crowd, and their life and death were uncertain.
However, there are too many ladders on Xuchang City this time, no matter how tightly the Cao army defends, there will always be fish that slip through the net, and soon there will be Lu Bujun's checkmate climbing to the wall of Xuchang City.
However, it was difficult for only a few people to do anything, and soon a few people were strangled by Cao's army on top of the city. However, as time passed, more and more Lu Bu's army climbed to the city wall of Xuchang City, and at this time, the defenders on the city wall looked a little dwarfed. And the more this happens, the more enemy troops will be on the walls.
On the city wall, Xun Yu glanced at Zhao Fei and then saw Zhao Fei nodding helplessly. Then Xun Yu gave an order, and the reserve army that had been preparing for a long time finally came up. Due to the injection of fresh power, the enemy army on the city wall was soon quelled by Cao's army.
Under the city wall, Lu Bu's camp, seeing that his soldiers finally rushed to the city wall of Xuchang City, Lu Bu suddenly felt refreshed, and even more arrogantly said to Chen Gong next to him that he could take Xuchang City in a battle today. But before he was done with his pride, the soldiers who climbed the city wall were torn apart by Cao Jun, which made Lu Bu feel a little shameless.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Looking at the soldiers who were knocked down the city wall, Lu Bu said with great annoyance.
