Chapter 217: The Art of Shouting
Three poles on the sun, Luoyang City.
Under the city, countless soldiers covered the ground, and the distance was already connected to the sky. The battle flag reflects the sky, the swords and guns are like a forest, and the cold light that changes the color of the heavens and the earth.
In the earth-shattering drums, the Yuan-Liu coalition army split into dozens of large arrays, and the dust that stepped on covered the sky and the sun.
Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others are all in formation, and there are "parasols" on their heads. Even if it is themselves, seeing that their own soldiers are strong and strong, they can't help but be very confident in this battle.
At the head of the city, 40,000 soldiers of the Cao Army panicked when they saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside, and their momentum was terrifying.
After all, for so many years, the soldiers of the Cao Army have always fought more and less. During this period of time, the situation was completely reversed, and there were repeated defeats. This combat effectiveness is much worse than before.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Gaoyuan Army rose from adversity and were not afraid of strong enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more aggressive they become.
Gao Yuan, in front of the city gate tower, saw that Cao Jun's morale was low, and he pulled out the Yitian sword on his waist, pointed to the city from afar, and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy has invaded our homeland. Their hands are stained with the blood of your relatives and mine, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city rely on us! ”
"Pick up your knives and guns and come with me to destroy these invaders. For you, my children, and grandchildren, to protect this last homeland! ”
"Fight, fearless warrior. The blood of the enemy is the honor of you and me. The people will remember this day as you defended our homeland! ”
The voice is excited, and the people who hear it are enthusiastic.
"Defend your homeland and fight for your lord!" At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Gao Yuan Army raised their arms and shouted.
"Fight for the Lord!" On the top of the city. The soldiers of the Cao army were inspired, raised their weapons in their hands, and the cry shook the sky.
The courage of 100,000 soldiers gathered. and even scattered the clouds in the sky.
It seems that Xiahoudun and others can't help but look at Gao Yuan with admiration.
Cao Cao was very happy at first, after all, his morale was boosted, but in a blink of an eye, he felt that something was wrong, "No, I am the lord!" ”
So, Cao Cao thought to himself. If I don't shout a few words, this soldier and horse will be regarded as the lord of Gao Yuan. He couldn't fall behind, and he also pulled out the Qinghong Sword with a bang. Raised it high and said, "Come with me to defend the country!" ”
"Defend the family and the country!" The Cao soldiers shouted again.
In this regard, the head of the city. Gao Yuan held the Heavenly Sword. Cao Cao held the Qinghong Sword. It seems that Xiahoudun and others can't help but think that one old and one young, with two swords combined, is worthy of being a family.
Yuan-Liu coalition flank.
"Damn!" Yuan Shao, who was in front of the battle, saw that the morale of the enemy troops in the city was inspired by Gao Yuan. In this way, when he besieged the city, he would suffer more losses.
Tian Feng on the side frowned. Said: "Lord, the enemy's morale is extremely strong at the moment. It is better to postpone the siege. ”
Cai Mao said dissatisfiedly: "Our army has completed its preparations, and if we don't attack the city at this moment, the momentum will be lost." ”
Liu Bei said on the side: "Yuan Gong, why don't you shout a few words too?" ”
Everyone looked at Yuan Shao, and said in their hearts that what Liu Xuande said also made sense, since Gao Mengyan could boost morale, Yuan Gong could do it.
Yuan Shao was a little bottomless, and said, "Then shout a few words?" ”
Everyone looked at him, nodded like a chicken eating rice, and shouted two words in their hearts, which boosted morale and attacked the city.
Yuan Shao didn't really want to shout because he didn't know how to shout. To say that he was also a general of the Han Dynasty, he fought in the south and the north, and killed the Yellow Turban thief. But now that I'm older, the blood in my heart and the temperature are not enough.
However, Yuan Shao also knew that he had to shout twice. Therefore, he rode his horse out of front of the formation, and with a loud sound, he drew his sword, and when he raised it high, hundreds of thousands of eyes converged on the glowing tip of the sword.
Yuan Shao felt an invisible "natural gas" converging around him, waiting for him to ignite it, and he immediately shouted: "Gao Mengyan is a famous man, but he is really a thief." Cao Mengde appointed himself as Situ, but he was actually a national thief. These two people have successively troubled the court and poisoned the world. Today, it is time to kill the national thieves, and all the soldiers should move forward bravely. Kill the thieves and save the people in the city from fire and water. ”
Liu Bei and the others looked at each other, and felt that what they said was a little wrong.
If there is only Cao Cao alone, it may still work, and with a Gao Mengyan, it will be like opening his eyes and talking nonsense.
For example, today, everyone knows that Gao Mengyan is benevolent and loves the people, especially ordinary people.
It seems that the soldiers of the Yuan-Liu coalition army are all from ordinary people.
"Kill the thieves and save the people......." The 400,000 coalition troops, sparsely lala, shouted, not as loud as the 100,000 people in the city.
Liu Bei was envious, jealous and hateful to a prince like Yuan Shao who had territory, so he said with a slight sarcasm from the side: "Duke Yuan, shouting like this, the effect is not good!" ”
Yuan Shao had a good face, and when he heard it, he was angry, pointed at his sword, and said, "Then you shout!" ”
I shout, I shout. It seems that Liu Bei is very interested in this kind of thing of showing his face in front of hundreds of thousands of people. The heart said that this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, and you must shout it well.
Liu Bei stepped out, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were on both sides, and the two glared at Yuan Shao fiercely, lingering about what he had just pointed at his eldest brother.
"Shout!" Yuan Shao urged.
Liu Bei blushed, his idea was good, shout a good slogan, and become famous. However, the reality is cruel, and the motivating slogan is not something that anyone can shout. At the very least, this person should be enthusiastic.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh......."
Yuan Shao was furious, he had already seen that Liu Bei was not pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for the Yuan-Liu Alliance, he would have killed Liu Bei a long time ago, and shouted; "What are you, you, shout!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious, and they were very embarrassed, and they said that the eldest brother couldn't even shout, so they didn't have the face to fight back against Yuan Shao.
It turned out that Liu Bei thought a lot, after all, he was nothing in the coalition army, so the slogan was not easy to shout. But at this moment, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and shouted: "After defeating Gao Mengyan and lifting military discipline for three days, whoever grabs all the things in the city will belong to him!" ”
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst out into an earth-shattering shout, and for a while, their morale skyrocketed by 100 percent, and their combat effectiveness was greatly surpassed.
However, Yuan Shao was dumbfounded and shouted, "Liu Xuande, what are you shouting nonsense without my consent?" ”
Liu Bei rolled his eyelids, "You let me shout." ”
"What!" Yuan Shao was furious, "Come on, take Liu Bei down for me!" ”
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are going to do it.
After a while, he was stopped by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Cai Mao hurriedly persuaded: "The watch is beaten, the watch is beaten." Capture Luoyang City, let's talk about it! ”
Gao Yuan and Cao Cao in the city saw this "farce".
"A rabble!" The two scoffed at each other at the same time.
Outside the city, in order to hold back the Jingzhou soldiers and reduce his losses, Yuan Shao temporarily held back his anger and ordered the siege of the city.
After that, he attacked from three sides, dividing 400,000 men into nine waves and attacking in turn. and let Cai Mao and Liu Bei attack the east city wall where Gao Yuan and Cao Cao were sitting.
Liu Bei said to Cai Mao: "Yuan Benchu was treacherous, let us attack." Although he attacked on both sides, he was not as pressured as our attacking side. ”
As soon as Cai Mao heard that it made sense, he said: "Duke Yuan, why don't you besiege the city on all sides!" ”
Yuan Shao said disdainfully: "This is a siege of three and one also!" ”
"Nonsense. Surround three and one, and wait until the enemy's strength is exhausted, Yuan Benchu did it on purpose! Liu Bei made a small report.
However, Yuan Shao was powerful, and Cai Mao didn't dare to turn his face now, so he could only give the order to attack Dongcheng with all his might, and said to Liu Bei: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can be the vanguard." ”
For a moment, to the sound of war drums, the flints of trebuchets flew wildly, and the arrows of archers danced. Countless soldiers of the Yuan-Liu coalition army, shouting the slogan of entering the city to make a fortune, stepped on the footsteps of shaking the sky, pushed and held all kinds of siege equipment, and began to attack Luoyang City.
A full-scale offensive began. (To be continued......)
