Chapter 212: A Few More Days
A report came from Yecheng, but Dong Qing refused to help.
Guo Jia was not surprised.
Dong Qing is extremely intelligent, although she hates Yuan Xu to the core, it is reasonable that she is the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family and refuses to help Cao Cao.
"Dong Qing refused to help, but only mentioned that the singer was gentle, how should he behave?" Cao Cao asked.
"This woman is cunning, if she is willing to help, she must be wary." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong only wants to transfer Yuan Xianxin back, not to kill him, Wanrou has nothing to use." ”
"What are you going to do with Bonghyo?"
"If Yuan Xianxin wants to return to Yecheng, the best way is to move his biological mother."
Cao Cao did not respond.
He didn't even jump an eyelid.
Transferring Yuan Xu back at the cost of offending Mrs. Zhang, he never thought about it.
"If Gong Cao feels that something is wrong, there is another person who can make Yuan Xianxin return to Yecheng, but it is not as fast as touching Mrs. Zhang!"
"Who?"
"Zhen Mi!"
Cao Cao laughed: "Yuan Xianxin took Zhen Mi, how can I wait to hurt her?" ”
"Another Zhen Mi!"
"Fengxiao is to say......" Cao Cao was stunned.
Guo Jia nodded.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to move Yuan Xianxin." Cao Cao shook his head.
"He is Zhen Mi's sister! Although Yuan Xianxin is ruthless to him, for Zhen Mi's sake, he will still return to Yecheng. It's just that if the hardships she suffers are small, it should be useless! ”
"How?" With Zhen Xiao as bait, Cao Cao did not hesitate.
"If you want to succeed, you have to Dong Qing." Guo Jia said: "This woman is too smart to be ordinary! In the past, it might not have been possible. Now she just needs to think that the fetus in her womb died and it is related to Zhen Mi......"
"Filial piety has a plan, just do it."
"No!" Guo Jia responded.
"Zhongde sent a battle report." Cao Cao's words changed: "The Yuan army besieged the city again, and the defenders were less than a thousand people, so they were in a hurry. Please send troops to help. ”
"Adjustable Tiger and Par Ride!" Guo Jia said: "Qi will be lost, I am only going to answer Cheng Gong!" ”
"Tiger and leopard riding ......" Cao Cao hesitated.
"The tiger and leopard cavalry has been newly built and has not yet been put into battle." Guo Jia said: "I know that Cao Gong doesn't want to use it too early, but Cheng Gong is in danger, if it is not for the deployment of the army, only the strange soldiers will respond!" ”
"Then follow the words of filial piety!" Cao Cao didn't hesitate any longer, and shouted outside the house: "Someone! Calling Cao Ren! ”
Outside the city. Siege towers and catapults have been built.
Twenty or thirty siege towers stood side by side, and thirty or forty catapults lined up in front of the formation.
The large stones piled up next to the catapult resembled a hill, and behind the siege tower, a phalanx of heavy infantry was lined up.
At the head of the city, Cheng Yu and Zang Ba looked at Yuan Jun with shocked faces.
Siege towers, catapults, never seen before.
The behemoth stood in front of Yuan's army, and of course they wouldn't think it was just for demonstration!
"Pass the order, prepare more fire arrows and oil!" Cheng Yu ordered.
"The enemy army has not yet taken the city. What did Cheng Gong do with a lot of fire arrows and oil? Zang Ba was puzzled.
"Look, General!" Pointing to the siege tower, Cheng Yu said: "This thing is the same height as the city wall, and it should be used for siege." Our arrows are difficult to penetrate, and once you put up the wall, the enemy can climb the city in one fell swoop! ”
After Cheng Yu explained, Zang Ba was suddenly shocked.
The outside of the siege tower is clad in copper, which looks very thick.
Don't say that arrows are difficult to penetrate, and even if you fire fire arrows, it won't have much effect!
"This thing is clad in copper. Fire arrows are useless. Zang Ba said.
"Fill the clay pot with oil, smash it on it and shoot it with a fire arrow!" Cheng Yu replied.
The camp of the Yuan army sounded a trumpet.
The Cao army at the head of the city took their bows one after another. Aim at Yuan Jun.
To the surprise of Cao's soldiers, Yuan's army did not attack immediately.
The horn sounded, and the Yuan troops lined up in front of the array got out of the way, and dozens of catapults appeared at the front of the array.
Looking at the behemoths, the soldiers of the Cao army did not know what was waiting for them.
With the "creaking" of the load-bearing of the wooden frame and the "whirring" of the wind, a catapult threw out the boulder.
Stones crashed against the walls. And the whole city trembled with it.
"Squat! Squat down! The first boulder hit the city wall, and seeing that dozens of stones flew over, Cheng Yu shouted repeatedly.
The soldiers of the Cao army hurriedly squatted or sat and hid behind the battlements.
A fast boulder crashed into the city wall, accompanied by puffs of white smoke. The walls were smashed into potholes.
The soldiers of the Cao army squatting behind the battlements held their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
The catapult made a spring snap and shot stones at the Qidi wall.
Seeing puffs of white smoke filling the city wall, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Tan's mouth.
The army attacked the city, and the defenders often threw boulders.
The city was bombarded by boulders, and it was the first time he had seen it.
Catapult outperformed expectations, and he had greater hopes for the siege tower.
"When will the city be attacked?" Can't wait to see the effectiveness of the siege tower, Yuan Tan asked Yuan Xu.
"Let's talk about it for a day."
Yuan Xu's answer made him a little disappointed.
"Cao's army has been suppressed, if it is a siege at this time......"
"The siege tower is huge, and if it is hit by a boulder of our army while marching, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yuan Xu said: "If you want to attack, the boulder ejection has to be paused!" ”
Unwilling, Yuan Tan didn't insist anymore.
The siege tower and catapult were both built by Yuan Xu, who was more familiar with power.
Countless boulders were thrown out by catapults and bombarded the city walls.
Qi Di withstood the fierce bombardment of Yuan's army, and more than 600 fast horses rushed out of the city of Xudu.
The knights on horseback are all fierce.
The cavalry's tasks were mostly to raid and investigate, and their equipment was often lighter than that of the infantry.
In order to maintain rapid mobility, the cavalry mostly wore leather armor.
The cavalry that rushed out of Xudu was different.
They were all dressed in bronze armor, and the horses ran with a little difficulty.
At the head of the line was a burly general with a broadsword.
The big face of the national character and the raised eyebrows of the two swords make him even more heroic.
He is Cao Ren who led the tiger and leopard to ride to meet Cheng Yu!
Out of Xudu, Cao Ren did not dare to delay for a moment, and led the army all the way to the north.
The tiger and leopard rode to Qingzhou, and Qidi had been bombarded by the Yuan army for three consecutive days.
Under the bombardment of boulders, Cao's army suffered many casualties.
The city was stained with blood everywhere, and the unlucky Cao army was smashed into flesh by the boulders that bounced up the city wall.
With his back against the battlements, Zang Ba spitted.
There was a deafening roar in my ears, and the dust was so thick that it was difficult to look at each other.
Cheng Yu closed his eyes and hid with his back against the battlements.
Every time a boulder hit the walls, he could feel the head of the city tremble violently.
A boulder flew overhead and smashed against the battlements on the opposite side.
Blocked by the battlements, the stone bounced and fell back, crashing into Cao Jun, who was hiding behind the battlements.
Next to Cheng Yu, the two Cao Jun couldn't dodge and were smashed into pulp.
Blood juice splashed, spraying Cheng Yu's face.
With the last roar of the city wall, Yuan Jun finally stopped projecting.
The sound of war drums followed, and countless Yuan troops shouted and rushed to the city wall.
Cao Jun, who was dizzy by the bombardment, hurriedly got up, put his bow on the wind, and aimed his arrows at Yuan Jun. (To be continued.) )
