Chapter 271: The Momentum of Breaking the City
Zhao Wang hurriedly presented the battle report and said: "In this battle, our army killed nearly 7,000 enemies, although we also paid nearly 4,000 casualties, but we harvested a large number of arrows, warships and other materials, and the most happy thing is that this time we also captured fifteen catapults from the battlefield!" ”
Feng Yao's eyes lit up and he smiled!
Because of the Wenshui River, it is difficult to transport the catapults left on the south bank from the south bank to the north bank, so they can only be dismantled and then transported over and reassembled, which will take about two days, and every extra day on the battlefield on this side will be a disadvantage to Feng Yao!
But now, with this batch of catapults captured from the enemy, Feng Yao can order the army to immediately launch a long-range attack on Saltless City!
"Zhao Wang, this news is very good! I'll read the specific battle report later, you go down first, pass on my order, and today's dinner will arrive in advance! And you immediately send out handymen to collect the stones available for catapults from the neighborhood! Feng Yao said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely collect enough stones this time!! Beat the saltless city to a pulp, I don't think they dare to cower in the city and not come out!! Zhao Wang raised his head, his face excited.
Feng Yao nodded and said, "Okay, that's what you want!" Hurry up and prepare! ”
After Zhao Wang left, Xu Shu said: "It seems that we don't need to use any strategies, we just need to concentrate the army, set up camp steadily, and force the defenders in the city to fight!" We don't have to pay attention to the enemies of Qinglong Mountain and Tiger Mountain, as long as the Yanwu City is broken, the enemy soldiers of the two mountains will naturally have nothing to rely on! ”
Feng Yao then ordered Wei Yan to guard the right village to defend against the enemy soldiers in Qinglong Mountain, and Xue Yong to guard the left village to defend against the enemy soldiers in Baihu Mountain, and moved the Chinese army camp as far forward as possible, until the bottom of the Yanyan City, and at the same time, the army lined up the catapults in front of the formation, ready to attack!
Now what we are waiting for is the news from Xu Chu and Xu Shang, if the task is completed, then use the method of persuasion to surrender, if it fails, Feng Yao will immediately order the catapult to launch a fierce attack on the city overnight! We won't stop until we take the city!
……
Xu Chu led 2,000 tiger guards and more than 100 soldiers under Xu Shang, a total of 80 medium-sized warships and 70 small fishing boats went straight down the Wenshui River.
It was almost more than sixty miles from the vicinity of Wuyan to Kirinazawa, and then went deeper into the middle of the river, a distance of about 100 miles, and the fleet advanced for less than an hour before entering the Giant Nozawa, and because there was no speed along the water, the advance speed of the fleet slowed down slightly, but after another half an hour, an island about three or four miles long and wide appeared in front of us.
"Commander Xu! That's the island! We must unify our voice, let's just say that we came here on the orders of Li Dian, as long as we land, everything will be easy! Xu Shang said.
When approaching the island, several fishing boats nearby saw Xu Chu's fleet, and did not suspect it, but quickly rowed the fishing boats to the side, and at the same time began to row towards the shore of the island, as if they wanted to rush back and see what was going on.
Xu Chu wanted to send boats to tow those fishing boats back and control them, but Xu Shang persuaded him and said, "This will easily cause resistance from the people on the island!" Xu Chu gave up.
After a while, the whole fleet began to dock, and hundreds of women and children ran out of the island, cheering and gathering on the shore, calling the names of their relatives, not noticing that there was anything wrong with the boat, and thinking that their families had won the battle and returned with many small fishing boats.
……
Under the city of Wuyan, as soon as Shen Shi arrived, Feng Yao ordered the whole army to start burying pots and preparing to attack.
Cheng Yu was in a hurry in the city, and kept sighing.
The people of the city have already begun to run into the streets, trying to escape!
Li Dian said: "Uncle, let's abandon the city and retreat to Fan County!" Then in Liangshan, the army was ordered to guard the key points, even if Feng Yao's troops were numerous, it would be difficult to pass! ”
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Nephew Mancheng, haven't you found one thing?" The enemy forces outside the city include Feng Yao and Xue Yonghe's army, but Zhang Liao's army is missing, I think they must be in ambush, if we flee backwards, we just fall into their plan! ”
Li Dian said again: "Uncle,......。 But before he could say anything, he heard his own words outside the door.
"King Dongping is here!"
Li Dian frowned, and said unhappily: "What is he doing here?" ”
Cheng Yu said: "I guess you're here to ask me about defending the city again!" Man Cheng, the prince will come in a while, you must not be rude, understand, I will arrange everything! ”
Li Dian nodded, and Cheng Yu hurriedly went out of the mansion and welcomed Liu Kai, the king of Dongping, into the mansion.
"Now that Feng Yuzhou has attacked the city, how does Cheng Guoxiang plan to resist the enemy?" Liu Kai, the king of Dongping, asked with a displeased face as soon as he sat down.
Cheng Yu said: "I think we can only defend the city, if the enemy comes to attack the city, the ambush soldiers of Qinglong Mountain and Tiger Mountain will take the opportunity to attack the enemy soldiers besieging the city from behind!" And you can continuously retrieve stones from the two mountains for the purpose of defending the city! ”
Liu Kai, the king of Dongping, snorted coldly and shouted: "Cheng Guoxiang, what you said can't even be deceived by a three-year-old child, do you think this king can believe it!" Don't you see that Feng Yuzhou has already set up a catapult outside the city, ready to bombard the city! But you don't send troops to attack, do you want this king to die under the catapult?! ”
Cheng Yu's face was ashamed, and he arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang! ......" but I don't know how to say it's good.
At this time, Li Dian, who was standing behind Cheng Yu, looked furious, pulled the knife in his waist, and shouted: "If you don't see that you are the prince's sake, I will take your life with this knife!" If you don't go back to your palace quickly, if you accuse me Uncle Cheng again, I will show the emperor that the king of Dongping wants to control the army and intends to rebel! ”
"You!! ......" King Dongping was furious, stood up violently, pointed at Li Dian, and wanted to scold, but his face was swollen and red, and he couldn't speak!
"Man Cheng, Hugh is rude!" Cheng Yu shouted.
Li Dian respected Cheng Yu very much, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to put away his saber, but his eyes were still full of anger when he looked at Liu Kai.
"That's it! Cheng Guoxiang, I will leave, but before leaving, I advise you, if you have the ability to defend the city, you should defend it well, if you can't defend it, don't gamble with the lives of the people, and let the people of the whole city suffer from this meaningless war because of you! Cao Cao is already planning to give up Yanzhou, but you are here to pull the people to work for him!! ”
After King Dongping finished speaking, he threw his sleeves away angrily, Cheng Yu's face was gloomy, he sighed, and said, "I don't know!" It's just that......! ”
After a long time, Cheng Yu called Li Dian, "Man Cheng, uncle begs you for something, can you promise uncle?" ”
Li Dian hurriedly knelt down and said, "Uncle! Not to mention one thing, there are 10,000 things, and Man Cheng can't repay Uncle Da's great kindness! ”
"Good, good! Man Cheng, you also know, my family is in Dong'e County, although it has not been affected by the war yet, but I think most of the clansmen have been ordered to retreat to Qingzhou, I am just worried about my eldest son Wu'er, I think he must be leading the troops to guard in Dong'e County now, unwilling to leave, if you still listen to my orders, I will order you now, immediately take my subordinates, rush to Dong'e, and persuade my eldest son Cheng Wu to withdraw to Qingzhou! Cheng Yu's voice was heavy, and his brows were furrowed! (To be continued.) )
