Chapter 229: Struggle
"One-two, bang!" "Squeak! "Withstand! Don't let them run into the way! ”
The trembling impact, the screams one after another, everything kept plucking Cao Ying's heartstrings, hasn't the city gate been broken yet? How long can it last? Cao Ying kept thinking about it, but it was in vain again and again, Menggo's attack made him helpless, this is the reality, I have to admit that the Menggo army is indeed capable of fighting well.
"Maybe this is the will of God, I, Cao Mengde, am destined to achieve nothing!" There is only a helpless wry smile, a generation of heroes has not yet succeeded, but now they are facing the fate of defeat, and someone is destined to be lost in this era.
Just when Cao Ying had nothing to do, Xi Zhicai stood up again, and this person never gave up.
"Lord, block the city gate, our army might as well follow the enemy's example and directly seal the city gate with a boulder, only in this way can it be blocked!" Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Ying with a resolute face, and the two of them didn't need words.
It has not yet reached the point of despair, the combat power of the coalition army is still there, it may not be that there is no chance, as long as there is still a chance, Xi Zhicai will not admit defeat, it has not yet reached the end of the mountain, and it is unknown who will die now.
Blocking the city gate, this trick is indeed the way, and it is also the only way to stop Mongo from breaking the gate, but once the city gate is blocked, it means that the front will be handed over, and Mongo can do whatever he wants, and in the case of the city tower being suppressed, blocking the city gate is tantamount to admitting defeat, because the enemy army does not need to enter the city gate, and it is not a bad way to directly cross the city wall, which also means that the coalition forces lose the opportunity to counterattack head-on.
If you block the city gate, you can't send troops, and if you can't send troops, you can only be beaten, but now the coalition forces can't send troops head-on, and the losses are too great, I'm afraid that as soon as the city gate is opened, the merciless rain of arrows will fly over, plus the bed crossbow, even the shield is just as useless.
"Blocked?" Cao Ying's heart was at a loss, and the sound of collision kept coming, but Cao Ying was still hesitating.
Xi Zhicai was so anxious that he had to persuade again: "My lord, for the sake of today's plan, we can delay it for a while, and delay it until our army sends troops, and we will be able to recover the disadvantage!" ”
"But can you get it back?" Cao Ying was very skeptical, allowing Mungo to take advantage and being able to get back again, even he didn't believe it, but this was the only chance, otherwise the coalition would only have one way to hate it.
"You have to give it a try, if it succeeds, then it's great, if it doesn't work, I have no regrets, right?"
Regret, do you want to die with regret, Cao Ying is unwilling, strong unwilling, before he has achieved hegemony, he will die of hatred, this is not what he Cao Ying wants, the unwilling belief made Cao Ying cheer up again, his eyes were full of brilliance again, and the hero came back again.
"Thank you, Zhicai, I know what to do!" After speaking, Cao Ying walked away with firm steps and returned to his position again, he wanted to return to the battle line, and there was no longer a trace of retreat.
In less than a moment, Cao Ying persuaded everyone to directly block the city gate and give up the defense of the front city gate, everyone understood that this was the only chance, the only chance to block Meng Ge head-on, and almost at that moment, the coalition forces began to block the city gate.
"Quick, move up, move up, block the city gates, don't leave them any chance!"
The boulders were constantly moved to the city gate, and as the stones continued to pile up, the city gate became more and more stable, and a thick city wall immediately took shape behind the gate, and the sound of crashing continued to come from behind, but the blocked gate did not move at all.
The soldier who crashed into the city cart exclaimed, "Boss, there seems to be a stone in the back, and the gate is blocked!" ”
Na Du Bo was in a bad mood, and couldn't help but scold: "What, it's blocked, it's really a fucking back, retreat, retreat!" ”
"Yes!" A group of soldiers immediately began to retreat, the ramming car slowly retreated, the coalition forces blocked the city gate, there was no point in ramming it again, and there was only one way to retreat.
The front ramming vehicle evacuated, and on the other side, the messenger immediately reported: "General, the enemy is blocking the city gate, and the ramming vehicle is not strong enough to collide with it, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, it has begun to retreat now." ”
The city gate was blocked, Xu Rong was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, the coalition forces did it so decisively, this was really unexpected by Xu Rong, and Xu Rong didn't know what to do for a while.
He could only send the news back first, and after a while, Mongo got the news, this time he was stunned, he didn't expect the enemy to play this trick, this is his favorite trick, with a strong crossbow with a long range, he relied on the advantage of the city wall to suppress the enemy army to death.
I didn't expect the enemy to come with such a hand, Mongo was really a little surprised, blocked the city gate, and temporarily lost the ability to fight back, but even so, he couldn't be careless, the enemy could block the city gate, then he could dig it again, and once he dug it, he would get another chance.
After pondering for a while, Meng Ge suddenly said: "Tell Xu Rong that others block it from the inside, he will block it from the outside, dig the corner of the enemy's wall to block it, completely block the coalition army, pour water on me, block them so that they have no way out, and then carry out the project of building an earth barrier, suppress it with a strong crossbow, don't let the coalition army raise its head, and be sure to ensure the smooth progress of the project!" ”
I thought I could open the city gate this time, but I didn't expect to make such a come, Mongo almost went crazy, but he was also ruthless, since the enemy likes to block so much, then block it happily, it's a big deal to cross the city wall, Mongo is not afraid of these tricks of the coalition army, who makes him the best at this kind of trick.
However, Menggo's military order was too weird, the herald was stunned for a while, and he forgot to go to the order, until Menggo gave the order for the second time, and the herald hurriedly ran to give the order, but then Xu Rong was also stunned, an unexpected order, everyone felt incredible.
So much so that Zhang Liao forgot to suppress the enemy army, and the two of them studied the general order in a daze, and the coalition army blocked the city tower, but it didn't seem necessary on their own side, and the faces of the two were very weird.
"Wenyuan, to block or not to block?" Xu Rong looked at Zhang Liao with a sad face, he always felt that this was not good.
Zhang Liao said angrily: "Block, what's not going to work, just block the three gates, block the Kwantung princes, save trouble!" Wouldn't it be nice for us to wait for the coalition to starve to death? ”
Can it still be like this, Xu Rong was dumbfounded, maybe our general really wanted to do this, Xu Rong thought a lot in an instant, if this is really done, what will happen to the coalition forces? Xu Rong thought a lot in an instant, but he immediately vetoed this point, the coalition forces would not sit still, and would definitely break through.
But what happens next when a city gate is blocked? Xu Rong shifted his gaze to the other side, which means the transfer of the frontal battlefield, now that the frontal battlefield is on the right flank, where is the main battlefield, that is to say, the main battlefield has been transferred, and the current position will also change.
Transfer the battlefield, transfer the battlefield,, who is so damaged, use this kind of trick! Mongo was almost amused, he found the enemy quite interesting, he was so confident that the defeat in the frontal battlefield could be brought back on the side, Mongo really didn't believe in this evil.
Mungo said to himself with a fierce face, "Just let me see how you get it back!" ”
The flanks have been fighting for a long time, the battle situation is even, Wen Chou's department can't open the situation at all, Yang Ding's defense is at ease, with the strong crossbow as the core, the battle formation is the front formation, and Wen Chou can hardly advance an inch.
The battle situation was anxious, Wen Chou was anxious to walk around, and suddenly Pegasus came to report: "General, the sword and shield hand has arrived!" ”
Wen Chou was overjoyed and said: "It's finally here, go up, go up for me, you must break through the enemy's defense line!" ”
"Yes!" The herald rushed forward to give the order, and for a while, the Wenchou department changed again.
At this time, Meng Ge also moved to the right flank, there is no suspense on the frontal battlefield, the coalition forces have even blocked the city gate, and the time has not yet come to erect a flying bridge to attack the city, now it is not in a hurry, now the key is the right flank battlefield, the left flank has not yet started the battle, but I believe that Xu Huang has no problem there, the right flank attack is fierce, but it needs to be paid attention to.
With Meng Ge's arrival, Yang Dingfang immediately saluted: "General, the enemy army is blocked out of the front, there is no problem for the time being!" ”
Meng Ge hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know, but the coalition forces have played a trick, the city gate can't be opened, the head-to-head duel is over, and the next thing is here, so I'll come and take a look!" ”
Yang Dingfang suddenly said with a confident face: "General rest assured, I guarantee that the enemy army will not be able to cross a step!" ”
Meng Ge suddenly shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't talk too much, the coalition forces will definitely storm here, and if the enemy forces want to repel us and others, they must start from both wings, I think the death squad will come soon!" ”
Such a head-to-head confrontation cannot be sloppy in the slightest, the pressure on the right wing is bound to increase sharply, and now that Mungo dares to be negligent, the onslaught of the coalition forces may be useful.
Without waiting for Mongo to finish speaking, the attack of the coalition army arrived, and Wen Chou stood firm on the right flank, and the south gate of the coalition army could finally be opened, and for a time the strength of the coalition army increased greatly, and at a glance the secret numbness, the strength was still growing, and a large number of coalition soldiers poured out from the side door.
The strength of the coalition army increased again, and Yang Dingfang couldn't help but exclaim: "General, the strength of the coalition army is a bit too much? ”
"Of course, it's a desperate gamble, but no matter how many troops they have, they can't take advantage of their strength!" Mongo's face was relaxed, the only thing he was afraid of was the turtle shell, but unfortunately the coalition forces couldn't put the turtle shell now.
The frontal battlefield has come to an end for the time being, but the battle between Xu Rong and Zhang Liao has not yet ended, and the city gate of the coalition army must be sealed, so that it is over, and under the cover of the strong crossbow and the bed crossbow, the construction work is still going on.
"Hurry up, dig their corners, they've all dug for me!"
Xu Rong faithfully implemented Menggo's combat intentions, digging the enemy's corners, blocking the enemy's city gates, Lejin was also happy this time, so happy that he even forgot to fight back, it would be strange if he could dig it up, but he soon couldn't laugh, because the enemy piled up the earth at the city gate.
"This!" Le Jin was speechless for a while, this was clearly to block the main gate, Meng Ge did not attack the city gate again, but you don't want to come out again, at least don't think about it for a short time.
"Huh!" The feather arrow returned, and the curious coalition soldiers immediately shrank back.
But after thinking about it, Le Jin was also relieved, anyway, he couldn't get out, and if he was blocked, he would be blocked, as long as the left wing could break through, Meng Ge would naturally retreat, and this front would naturally be useless, and Le Jin quickly understood this truth.
"Hey, what the hell are they doing? Why did you suddenly dig up the corner of the wall, when will this be dug up! ”
"Leave them alone, hide well, just don't let them find it, the city tower can't collapse anyway!"
The coalition soldiers were talking a lot, and Le Jin didn't have much thought, he was thinking about what to do, and the enemy couldn't dig it down like this, it had to be like a way.
Just as Le Jin was pondering, he suddenly came to report to the soldiers: "General, the door panel is here, we can increase the strength of women!" ”
Le Jin was immediately overjoyed, this thing came too timely, and Le Jin immediately said: "Great, hurry up and get it, don't be stunned!" ”
After being beaten for so long, if he didn't fight back, Le Jin was really unwilling, and took advantage of the fact that the coalition forces had not yet withdrawn, looking for an opportunity to beat him and kill one by one.
At this time, the scout saw it clearly on the earthen rampart, and immediately reported: "My lord, there is a change in the city, it seems that something has been transported!" It's like a plank! ”
Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, what can the coalition army do when transporting planks at this time, and Zhang Liao guessed the enemy's intentions in an instant.
Zhang Liao secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly ran down, the soldiers in front were in danger, how dare Zhang Liao ignore it.
Before he could run to Xu Rong's side, Zhang Liao immediately shouted: "General Xu, the situation has changed, evacuate quickly, the enemy's planks are being transported!" ”
On the city tower, the wooden planks were constantly erected, and although the strong crossbow arrows were powerful, the door panels were too thick and too far away, except for the bed crossbow, they could not be shot through at all.
Xu Rong dared to ignore it, and hurriedly ordered: "Withdraw, let the people in front withdraw!" ”
The crossbow bolts were set, the situation was not good, the soldiers who were working urgently panicked, and Duber, who was in charge, immediately shouted: "Put on the shield, withdraw, evacuate immediately!" ”
The panicked soldiers finally reacted, and immediately put on their shields and ran back, sporadic arrows kept flying by, and the coalition counterattack was still too weak.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Le Jin cursed fiercely: "Damn, this door panel can't come early!" ”
Seeing Le Jin's annoyed appearance, the panting soldier had no choice but to say helplessly: "General, you have done your best!" ”
Le Jin suddenly realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly explained: "I know, I know, hurry up and pretend, it's all blocked for me!" Don't be slow! ”
The last confrontation at the west gate ended with the Allied gate being blocked, and the two armies began to face each other again, while on the other side, the battle on the right flank of the Allied forces intensified.
Blocking the city gate, the coalition army put almost all the combat power into the left flank, Yuan Shao urgently ordered Wen Chou to stop temporarily, waiting for the coalition army to swing out, the left flank coalition army quickly assembled, in a short period of time, the number of coalition forces increased sharply, nearly 30,000 troops gathered on the left flank.
Facing the formation set up by the coalition army, Meng Ge frowned, he really didn't understand, such a dense formation of the coalition army, except for hindering his own people, was useless, and he couldn't use so many people to attack in turn.
Meng Ge suddenly turned around and ordered: "Yang Dingfang, build the high platform a little higher, and look at the movements behind them!" ”
When things go wrong, there must be demons, this sentence Mongo never dared to forget, the coalition forces acted abnormally, and Mongo had to act cautiously.
