Chapter 132 Heavenly Thunder
As soon as the order was delivered, Liu Cong looked back at Fancheng, and saw that the Cao soldiers in the city were like ants on the verge of a great enemy, hurriedly coming up and down, not knowing what they were busy with.
There were also a few officers standing close to the battlements, brandishing swords and commanding.
Liu Cong smiled secretly: "You guys should be busy for a while, and you should rest if you are busy for a while." ”
When Liu Cong thought of this, he only heard three horns, and the frightened birds and birds chirped over the Jingzhou army formation and flew towards the woods east of Fancheng.
At this moment, only a loud "boom" was heard, and a thick cloud of black-purple smoke and dust was instantly generated in the middle of the city wall west of the north gate of Fancheng. There were also countless columns of smoke rushing straight into the sky.
The Jingzhou soldiers outside the city had never seen such a scene, and they were shocked and stammered, and they all stared at the smoke and dust in the sky, and they were at a loss for a while.
When the sound faded away, the clouds in front of me gradually dissipated after the stones and bricks that blew up in the sky basically landed.
Liu Cong glanced at Wei Yan, drew his sword in his hand, and waved forward and shouted, "The forward rushes into the city!" ”
With this shout, Wei Yan crossed the moat, turned around and pointed the sword in his hand, and shouted: "The forward commando team will follow me!" ”
I could only hear a hula sound, and the death squad swarmed up with Wei Yan, scrambling to drill into the gap in the blasted city wall, brandishing knives and guns to kill in Fancheng City.
Liu Cong saw it in the back, so he commanded the rest of the men and horses, and wave after wave of follower death squads rushed into the city.
That morning, Cao Ren was discussing the military plane with Man Zhong while having breakfast in the yamen.
There is nothing to discuss about the military here, except for one thing - try to defend Fancheng to the death.
According to this, Cao Ren often chanted beside Man Chong: "When I first took over the important task of guarding the city, I made a statement in front of Cao Gong - swore to live and die with Fancheng. ”
Man Zhong listened to his words more than ten times, but he didn't confront him head-on, because he felt that the time was not right. Besides, he knew that Cao Ren, a stupid son, was saying what he was saying, and he did what he said.
In the past few days, I have been carefully estimating it, and I feel that Fancheng can't hold it, and it must not be able to hold it.
However, this truth cannot be told to Cao Ren. As soon as he said this, Cao Ren would definitely come up with this sentence to resist: "If you can't keep it, you can keep it." The city is in the people, and the city is ruined and the people are dead. ”
This means obviously, Cao Ren vows to live and die with Fancheng.
Well, this kid wanted to repay Cao Cao's love and trust in him by dying in his duties.
This morning, Man Chong thought that the opportunity had come: "I can't say it anymore." In case this Fan City is broken by the Jingzhou soldiers, and Cao Ren and the enemy are killed in battle, won't our Cao Gong lose a lot? You can't do that, you have to talk about it in advance. ”
So, while eating, Man Pet said to Cao Ren: "Zixiao, do you remember what I said about the 'Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit'?" ”
"Of course I remember, what's wrong? Have you found the other two caves? ”
"No kidding. Zixiao, I have already thought about it, in case Fancheng is broken by the Jingzhou soldiers, we can only escape in this way. When the time comes, will you have to do it? ”
Cao Ren was upset when he heard this: "Okay, okay, let's eat." How do you know that Fancheng will be broken in the hands of Liu Cong'er, and I, Cao Zixiao, are thinking that I will meet the stinky child. My 7,000 elite soldiers in Fancheng are not idle to eat. ”
Seeing this, Man Chong hurriedly said: "That's, that's, but, it's better just in case." You're right? ”
Cao Ren casually responded while sending porridge to his mouth: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
At this time, the herald came in to report, saying that the sentry in the city had found a large number of Jingzhou soldiers coming to besiege the city, and asked the main general to give instructions on how to fight.
Man Zhong took over and asked, "Have they started to attack the city?" ”
"Not yet. I was mobilizing troops there, and I don't know when the siege would begin. ”
"Go back and give an order, and order the sentries to continue to monitor the movements of the Jingzhou soldiers, and report any abnormal situation immediately."
The herald was ordered to leave, and Man Zhong ordered several lieutenants around him: "Go to the city immediately to monitor the Jingzhou soldiers." If you find them attacking, resist as planned! There is no panic, and reserves are not allowed to be used until an emergency. ”
Several deputy generals ordered to leave, Cao Ren had no mind and porridge, put down the rice bowl in his hand, turned around and took off the sword hanging on the wall, and shouted in a rough voice: "Berning, go, let's go up to the city wall too!" ”
Manzhong stopped him and said, "Zixiao is slow, you listen to me." ”
Cao Ren said anxiously: "If you have anything to say, I will talk about it after the battle is over." ”
When Man Zhong heard that he couldn't talk to Cao Ren until now, he changed his tone and said, "That's good." Let's go up to the city wall and have a look. ”
So the two of them waited with a dozen of their own soldiers to the top of the city wall.
When I looked around, I saw that only in the place on the right outside the North City Gate Tower, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses gathered were quite thick, and the soldiers and horses in other places were scarce. Outside the south gate, there is almost no shadow of Jingzhou soldiers.
However, at this time, there were already a large number of Jingzhou soldiers cruising in the Han River, and Man Zhong understood at a glance, and said to Cao Ren: "Zixiao has seen the intention of the Jingzhou soldiers, right?" They were to attack the city from the east, west, and north, leaving the south side to prepare for the defeat of Fancheng and the people of Fancheng to escape. But we can't escape from their nets - the whole Han River is controlled by their sailors, where will we flee after the defeat? ”
Cao Ren listened to the anger and stuffed his chest, clenched his hands into fists, beat his chest with a puffy sound, and scolded in his mouth: "If you can't escape, you will fight with them!" ”
"Zixiao, can you be worthy of Cao Gong like that? Cao Gong still relies on you and me to help him fight the world! ”
Cao Ren looked at the full pet and stopped squeaking.
Full of favor said: "Zixiao comes with me." He walked forward.
Walked all the way to the South City Gatehouse, only to see four Cao soldiers standing guard at the gate with guns and knives, full of favor came over and reached out to take the key from a soldier, opened the gate himself, guided Cao Ren to a window, dragged out a box from under the case, opened the box and said, "Zixiao, look." ”
As soon as Cao Ren looked like some soldier's clothing, he asked, "Is it mysterious that just a few military uniforms have something to say?" What are you going to do? Say it! ”
Seeing that Cao Ren still didn't calm down and be obedient, Man Zhong said: "Zixiao, you remember, if the matter is urgent, you will immediately follow me to this side, these clothes can ensure that we can fool the eyes of the Jingzhou soldiers." ”
Cao Ren glared absentmindedly and asked, "Boning, are you sure that we can be defeated?" ”
"In the next just prepared for the worst. When the time comes, there will be a way out. ”
"Let's go, go out and command the battle!" Cao Ren hurriedly walked ahead.
As soon as they came out and locked the door of the building, and when the two of them hurried to the northwest, they only heard the sound of the earth shaking, like the sky falling into a crypt, and they were simultaneously shocked to the ground paved with bricks on the top of the city wall, and it took a while to wake up.
When Cao Renman opened his eyes, he saw a cloud of black smoke billowing up, gushing and gushing, and slowly dissipating.
At this moment, a burst of broken stones and rotten bricks crackled around him, and a few pieces of Luo were on Man Chong and Cao Ren, and the two of them jumped up to dodge, but there was no place to hide.
Behind them were several pro-soldiers shouting together, and the two of them didn't care about them, just looking for a place to hide, but there were no more broken stones and rotten bricks falling from the sky.
So the two calmed down, just stared blankly at the big billowing smoke not far in front of them, and they didn't know which way the gods were doing it.
At this moment, only a shout was heard, and through the smoke screen, I vaguely saw the Jingzhou soldiers outside the city swarming over, rushing to the place where the black smoke was rising.
Cao Ren was completely sober and urged: "Hurry up and command, the Jingzhou soldiers are entering the city!" ”
When Cao Ren took a dozen guards around him and ran past the West City Gate to look, he saw that the entire North City Gate had long since disappeared.
The city gate tower has been blown down by gunpowder, and a long section of the city wall to the west of the city gate has disappeared, leaving only a gap of several dozen zhang long.
The inside and outside of the gap were broken bricks and tiles, and at this time it was still full of smoke and dust, and teams of Jingzhou soldiers rushed into the gap like crazy.
Some had already climbed the crippled city walls, looking for Cao soldiers to fight.
There was also a large group of Jingzhou soldiers who rushed to the city, and after they entered, they scattered in all directions, and started street battles with Cao soldiers in groups.
When Cao Ren took a closer look, inside and outside the gap where the north gate of the city was blown up, whether it was on the top of the city wall or under the root of the city wall, he didn't see a single Cao soldier who resisted, and he saw countless Cao soldiers in the rubble, and it was also the body of Cao Bing who was killed.
At this time, Man Pet began to wonder: "How could this Fancheng be hit by a thunderstorm in good weather, and it also blew up a gap and let the Jingzhou soldiers come in." Well, isn't this God's help?
In this case, is there still a need to guard this Fan City?
Either you will die in battle, or you will surrender, or you will flee. There is no fourth way to go. ”
Thinking of this, Man Pet pulled Cao Ren and asked, "Do you see it?" Zixiao, can this Fancheng still be defended? ”
Cao Ren also came to his senses at this time, he had been in a daze before, and he didn't know why the heavens came down to help the Jingzhou soldiers break through Fancheng.
Cao Ren heard Manzhong's question, and replied without thinking: "Guard a fart!" Who knows how our Cao family offended God, isn't this a curse?
The clear sky sounded thunder, and it just blew up this Fancheng and let the Jingzhou soldiers come and occupy it.
Our 7,000 men and horses were killed and wounded by the bombing, and the few who were left to fight had already been surrounded and killed by the Jingzhou soldiers.
You see, this street battle was in a hurry, and it didn't take long for Fancheng to be occupied by Jingzhou soldiers.
God, this is going to destroy my Cao family. ”
When Man Pet heard this, he knew that Cao Ren was facing the reality, so he pulled Cao Ren and ran back.
Cao Ren tore and shouted as he ran: "What are you going to do Man, Boning?" Let go, let go, let go. ”
