Chapter 218: Guan Zhang's Bravery

"The fire brigade must move fast!"

"Archers throw ......, shield guards ......."

"First use sasswood, then use oil. Cao Hong, you are in charge of destroying the enemy's siege vehicles! ”

On the city of Luoyang, Cao Cao brandished the Qinghong sword and commanded Ruoding.

When the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, Cao Cao knew that the next battle in Luoyang City was inevitable. In order to keep this majestic city, he is also fully prepared. He collected all the materials in the Guanzhong area into the city. What kind of oil, rolling stones, sasswood, arrows, those are all large quantities of reserves.

Luoyang City is not like other cities, the battle area at the head of the city is wide, and three carriages can run side by side. As a result, the number of soldiers fighting at the head of the city is very large, and they can maximize the damage to the besieging enemy.

I saw that on the top of the city, a large number of arrows, like rockets launched vertically, were popular in the sky. After crossing a graceful arc, a rain of arrows formed over the heads of the coalition forces. For a while, the arrows that had not yet had time to land were like dark clouds, obscuring the sky and the sun.

And the archers of the Yuan-Liu coalition army, trebuchets are also playing a role.

Fortunately, Gao Yuanyi was on the head of the city more than ten zhang, and the protection of the shield soldiers played a great role. Although casualties were inevitable, the losses were much smaller.

Bloodshed began to spread.

In the midst of this bloodshed, the warriors who would have been afraid have become single-celled creatures. The brain was stimulated and the protection mechanism was activated, so the rest of the thoughts were abandoned, and the only thought left was to climb the city.

And the real warriors, stimulated by adrenaline, are even more fearless.

As time passed, a large number of Yuan Liu soldiers rushed to the city, and in the midst of a loud shout, they carried a ladder full of enemy arrows. and set up at the head of the city.

This ladder is very long, and it is difficult to get up to the top of the city. But because it's so long, it's hard to push away as long as you put it on it. Especially if one is next to the other.

However, there is a good way on Gao Yuan's side, and the sassal wood is prepared for this ladder, and he will be lowered along the ladder. There was a grunt, but all those who climbed on it were smashed down.

"Fire oil, fire oil team ready!"

When a large number of enemies, a large number of simmers, and a large number of ladders were built under the city, Cao Cao conveyed a new order.

The oil was not poured out with a horse spoon, but in a clay pot in advance. As long as a sea of fire is formed. No matter how many people there are, they can't take a step beyond the thunder pool, and it is the most powerful weapon to defend the city.

Outside the city.

When Tian Feng saw too many enemy soldiers with clay pots appearing at the head of the city, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Lord, the enemy is going to attack with fire!" ”

Since ancient times, the battle for the city has been nothing more than water attack, fire attack, and earth attack. In general. Water attacks are used by the attacker, and fire attack is the method of the defender. Dirt attacks are relatively neutral.

When Yuan Shao heard that he was going to attack with fire, he hurriedly said: "Hurry up, order the follow-up troops to delay the speed of advancement!" ”

However, Tian Feng had a different idea, "My lord, they should all be replaced with rockets!" ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Time. A more dense rain of rockets rose from the position of the Yuan-Liu coalition army and flew towards the city.

This inflicted huge losses on Cao's army, and many soldiers armed with clay pots fell. Because it was a rocket, it was obvious that smoke was rising from the city.

However, the losses of the Yuan-Liu coalition army under the city were even greater. I only heard the sound of a boom and a boom, and the rising smoke obscured the sky.

The area where the fire broke out in the city, the defenders were chaotic for a while, and because of this, the corresponding location under the city did not catch fire. This gave the Yuan-Liu coalition a chance to break through.

Yuan Shao himself was outside the east gate, which was actually the main direction of attack of the coalition army, but it was the Jingzhou soldiers led by Cai Mao who were responsible for the attack.

When Yuan Shao saw that there were soldiers on the top of the city, he was overjoyed, but he soon found that these soldiers who had climbed the city were facing encirclement and suppression. In order to be able to open the defense line as soon as possible, Yuan Shao said to Cai Mao: "General Cai, it's time to send a general to break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop." ”

Cai Mao felt that the situation was the same, but Jingzhou lacked nothing, that is, there was a shortage of generals, and the only one who could take the shot was Wenpin. But Cai Mao was not ready to let Wen Ping appear, so he looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly made the appearance of watching the battlefield carefully, and he didn't know anything else.

Who knew that Cai Mao said, "Xuande Gong, you still need your two brothers to go up and rush." ”

"It's ......." Liu Bei reluctantly turned his head, and there was no follow-up.

Cai Mao was quite displeased, and said: "Duke Xuande has been coming to my Jingzhou for a while, my lord treats each other as a brother, and now that the battle situation has come to the end, it still needs Duke Xuande to help." ”

Liu Bei scolded secretly when he heard it, and said in his heart If it weren't for my brother's help, would you be able to fight here?

This time it was a siege battle, not like a field battle, and it was dangerous, so Liu Bei was unwilling to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fly. However, Cai Mao has already made it clear that unless he tears his face, it is better to be on it. Liu Bei didn't want to tear his face with Jingzhou, and after weighing it, he said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Second brother, third brother, you still need the strength of the two of you to really open the gap." ”

Although the battlefield is dangerous, for brave people like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the more dangerous it is, the more fighting spirit there is.

The two clasped their fists and saluted, and said in unison: "Big brother, wait a minute, look at my brother, and break Luoyang City." After speaking, the two glanced at Cai Mao coldly and rode away.

It is said that Guan Zhang and the others led a new force into the battlefield of the east city wall, and the gap at this time was about to be closed by the Cao army on the city, but at the critical moment, Guan Zhang and the two stood on the city.

Guan Zhang and the two took the lead, one with a knife and the other with a spear. Everywhere he passed, stumps and severed arms flew, setting off endless bloody rain. Immediately, the Cao soldiers around him were scattered, followed by too many of his own soldiers to enter the city, reopened the gap, and continued to expand.

At this time, Cao Cao was watching on the second floor of the city gate tower. The reason why a two- or three-story city gate tower should be built on the city gate is only because of its great military significance. In ancient times, there was no high technology, everything had to be seen through the eyes of generals. Therefore there is this city gate, because it is clear to stand up and see clearly.

Cao Cao was originally very happy when he saw that the gap was about to be blocked, and all the enemy soldiers in the upper city were killed. Suddenly, a red-faced man came out, plus a black-faced man, and the two of them were fierce, and the situation was turned around in an instant.

Gao Yuan was on the side, frowning, these Guan Zhang and the two are really fierce generals, and no one is Guan Zhang's enemy. Almost all of the officers who fought bravely on this side were killed, and the morale of the soldiers began to swindle. He said: "This is not good, if it continues like this, as more and more Yuan troops pour into the city, there will be a danger of losing it!" ”

Cao Cao also thought so, and after a burst of shock, he shouted: "Immediately order Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to go into battle in person, and beat all the enemies who have landed in the city to me!" ”

And the herald went.

Immediately after, Gao Yuan was on the city tower, and he saw that on the cityhead road below, the Xiahou brothers took their own elite guards and quickly looked at the gap.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.

Although the Xiahou brothers are also ten thousand enemies, they are not the opponents of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In the dialogue between the generals and the generals, they were all defeated with injuries. The general was wounded, and the morale of the soldiers went down at once. It can be seen with the naked eye that the enemy's battle circle at the head of the city has suddenly expanded.

Gao Yuan sighed when he saw it, and said in his heart that there were no guns in ancient times, and personal martial arts were very important. Often a big general can influence the situation of the battle.

"Virtuous son-in-law!"

Suddenly, a panicked cry sounded beside him. Gao Yuan turned his head to look at it, and saw Cao Cao's big eyes, looking at him with incomparable sincerity and pleading. He suddenly became clever and said, "Master Yue, what do you want to do?" (To be continued......)
