Chapter 379: Attacking Fucheng
Yizhou, Fucheng, the spring of March, should be the season of purple and red, the fields in March, should be a piece of green, but nearly 200,000 Xiliang troops will be in Fucheng three layers outside the three layers of siege to the water, dotted with fences around Fucheng layer after layer, just green fields were trampled to a dry yellow, spring vitality has not yet been strangled in the bud.
On this day, the sky has just been bright, the sharp horn sound instantly pierced the hazy sky, after the horn sound, a burst of agitated war drums rose from the ground, accompanied by the deafening war drums, the door of the Xiliang military camp surrounding Fucheng opened, the dense Xiliang army soldiers began to slowly open out of the camp, dense, countless, the two sides have not yet started the war, the murderous spirit of the Xiliang army has swept all over the world, like a poisonous dragon mist, people shudder after seeing it, creepy.
After the defenders of the city saw it, they were all frightened, and their legs couldn't stop trembling, the siege has been three days in a row, and the bloody attack and defense have already made the city and the city become mottled with blood, and many stumps that have not had time to clean up are shocking.
There are seventy or eighty thousand residents living in Fucheng, and they have never seen such a huge battle, but there have been people who have attacked Fucheng before, but the number of people and horses is about 10,000, less than one-twentieth of the Xiliang army, facing the dense Xiliang military camp outside the city and the daily deafening shouts of killing, as well as the huge stones of the size of the millstone and its flying arrows like locusts from time to time, a person is panicked, restless, and the sleep and food are wasted.
"It seems that Lu Bu is going to attack"
Leng Bao frowned, pressed the sword on his waist with one hand, and covered his forehead with the other hand to look down, Lu Bu did not send the main force to attack the city in the past few days. Instead, let the soldiers shout and instigate the Shilin and the people in the city to open the city and surrender, otherwise the army will enter the city, and the old and young will not be left. Stones the size of a millstone were selected and smashed into Fucheng by catapult, one wanted to smash the city wall, and the other wanted to cause psychological pressure on the people in the city, so that the people and Shilin Haoqiang did not dare to help Leng Bao defend the city.
This method really worked, many Fucheng families refused to help Leng Bao defend the city, so as not to anger the Xiliang army, if you climb the city wall to assist Leng Bao defense, if you don't get it right, it will provoke the Xiliang army to retaliate and slaughter the city after breaking the city, it will be a disaster for the people of Fucheng. After losing the support of the people of Fucheng, the morale of the Shu army defending the city dropped sharply, which could not help but make Leng Bao worried, according to Jia Xu's words: this is called attacking the heart first, the siege of the city has not been down, and the indiscriminate bombardment for several days in a row has not only panicked the people of Fucheng, but even the Shu army that defended the city has no heart to fight again.
Flag hunting to the north wind. Swords, spears and axes reflect the sky, and siege chariots are in chaos. Nearly 200,000 horses and horses gathered under the city of Fucheng to stand by, all of them wore helmets and armor, held sharp blades, and carried strong bows and crossbows. A look of vowing to seize Fucheng, even the cavalry is put on a horse, it is really a saddle man wearing armor, sitting down on a horse with a copper bell, and the flag is red and showing a day. The sword is paved with thousands of miles of snow, the soldier has a deep helmet and armor on his head, the horse wears heavy armor with Zhu Ying, and he carries a spear to resist the big axe.
"The Xiliang Army looks determined to win, and it seems that Fucheng will not be able to hold it nine times out of ten"
A helpless sigh suddenly sounded behind him, Leng Bud turned his head to stare at it, the person who spoke turned out to be Wu Yi, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at the moment, when he went, he was panicked like a lost dog when he returned, more than a dozen generals, and now only Wu Yi was left, which really made Leng Bao feel sad.
"Now there is Mianzhu behind me, after Mianzhu is Chengdu, I can't retreat, we have retreated all the way from Doushaguan to Fucheng, my heart has long been exhausted, today I have to hold Fucheng no matter what, even if I die in battle, I will not retreat, old general, you go, take the headquarters of the army and horses to Mianzhu", Leng Bao held the battlement, stared at the Xiliang army of Huo Huo who was sharpening the knife under the city and went to Fucheng, and said to Wu Yi without looking back, Wu Yi is an elder and an important minister in Yizhou, Leng Bao didn't want him to stay and die.
Wu Yilang laughed loudly, pointed to the Xiliang army under the city, and looked as a matter of course: "Now that the city has a heavy flag, where do you want me to go?" General Leng Bao, don't laugh, the old man is half older than you, you are tired of running, why am I not tired? ”
Leng Bud grinned: "I can't figure it out, why Lu Bu only wins and is not defeated, but our army is defeated again and again!" ”
Not only in Yizhou, but also in Hanzhong, Xiliang, and Hujiaoguan, but none of the princes who fought with Lu Bu were victorious, Leng Bao sometimes thought that this was actually God protecting Lu Bu, just thinking about it, but he still couldn't understand the real reason.
Wu Yi walked to Leng Bao's side, pointed to the generals under the city and said: "Lu Bu employs people, eclectic, you see that Gan Ning, who was just a water thief on the Yangtze River back then, but now he is the guard of a county, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and that Zhou Tai, who was also a water thief back then, is now persuaded to be a general under Lu Bu's account, stationed in Hanzhong, tens of thousands of mercenaries, and that Huang Zhong, who was just a gatekeeper Sima of the Xiliang Army back then, but now he is the number one general under Lu Bu's account, with outstanding achievements, not to mention the others, Wei Yanfa is in the acres, Xu Huang is raised on the deep mountain, they are either mountain bandits and water thieves, or they are Yamen officials, but they all have one common characteristic, that is, they are all Huai Cai, Lu Bu can use them at the right time and in the right place, An can not win? ”
Wu Yi paused, and then continued: "If it were someone else, I'm afraid there would be no such measure, maybe this is the reason why Lu Bu can win a hundred battles!" ”
Leng Bao bowed his head silently, in fact, there are many good talents in Shu, such as Wang Pingzhou, who is an orphan and has an ordinary background, but he is not important because he has great talents, if he is in Shoujiangyou or Jieting, he will not be so defeated today.
Suddenly, a fierce war drum interrupted Leng Bao's contemplation, he was startled in his heart, and hurriedly drew his sword in his hand: "Brothers, the Xiliang army has begun to attack the city, everyone is ready to defend, the sword is unsheathed, the sharp arrow is wound, and the vow to live and die with Fucheng, the city is in the people, the city is broken, who dares to retreat, there is no forgiveness!" ‘
"I wish to fight to the death with the general, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined!"
Under Leng Bao's encouragement, the defenders of the city wall mountain let out a shout in unison, and each of them hid behind the female wall step by step, hiding under the battlements, and bent their bows and arrows one after another, preparing for defense.
In the camp of Bingzhou, Lu Bu stood proudly on the platform of the generals, and said to the hundreds of generals below: "Generals, we have besieged Fucheng for a few days, and the stones thrown into it are not 1,000 but 800, and the arrows shot out are not 100,000 but 50,000, and now the will of the defenders has been crushed by us, and it is time for you to make contributions!" ”
"I will listen to the Lord's command!" Several generals shouted in unison, like hundreds of Pixiu screaming, and it was Top Gun.
"Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Xu Huang is responsible for attacking the North Gate, Wei Yan, Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu is responsible for attacking the South Gate, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He is responsible for attacking the West Gate, Ganning Zhou Tai is responsible for attacking the East Gate, and the generals will each lead their headquarters and horses, and strive to break the city within one day!" Lu Bu ordered loudly.
"The last general commands!" The generals who were called out all bowed their promises and shouted loudly.
Pan Feng looked left and right, and saw that Lu Bu didn't point at him, and the urn was angry at the moment: "Lord, then why should I go?" ”
When the generals heard this, they laughed loudly.
Lu Bu's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he immediately pretended to be contemplative: "How is this good, now that the generals who are besieging the city have enough, General Pan Feng really has nowhere to go, so it is better to stay in the camp and wait for the triumphant return of the generals!" ”
Pan Feng was willing to do it, and hurriedly retorted: "Isn't there one less person in General Xingba?" I'll go and be a lieutenant general for General Xingba and attack the East Gate! ”
Lu Bu shook his head: "No, although General Gan Ning only has two people, General Zhou Tai alone can be used as two people, and in order to prevent the enemy from fighting to the death, we are missing one for three, and the east gate is for the enemy to escape, so we can't attack too strongly!" ”
Pan Feng was not convinced: "Now Fucheng is in danger like a tired egg, then what else is there for three missing one, according to the last general, it is better to go directly into the city and capture Leng Bud alive, how can they be defeated from the east gate, wouldn't it be to let the tiger return to the mountain, if the lord asks me to go to the east gate, the last general plus General Zhou Tai will be able to break the city gate with lightning speed and welcome the army into the city, what do you think?" ”
Lu Bu's eyes drooped slightly, glanced at Pan Feng, and pretended to ponder: "This ......"
Jia Xu wrapped the big fur around his body and suggested to Lu Bu: "Since General Pan Feng is so ambitious, the lord will promise him, but General Pan Feng, if you can't break the city before the other generals, what should you do?" ”
"What do the military advisors like, Pan Feng has no complaints!" Pan Feng straightened the cow helmet on his head and said nonchalantly.
Lu Bu said: "Since this is the case, then you will go to General Gan Ning to be a deputy general!" ”
After receiving Lu Bu's answer, Pan Feng hurriedly ran to Gan Ning's side with a smile, staring at Lu Bu with expectant eyes, waiting for him to give the order to attack the city.
"Then what are you waiting for, kill me!" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and ordered.
With Lu Bu's order, the generals drew their swords and drew their guns, and led the generals of the army to gallop out of the gate to the front of the army, and gave the order to attack almost at the same time. (To be continued.) )
