Two hundred steps away, on a two-zhang high command platform of the Chinese army, Liu Xiu and Jian Shuo sat side by side, Yan Zhong and Xun You stood behind them, Pang De stood with his sword, calmly looking at the battlefield in the distance, and the faces of several tiger Benlang behind Jian Shuo were very ugly, I don't know whether they were frightened by the atmosphere on the battlefield, or blown by the night wind, their faces were white, and it seemed very unnatural to smile occasionally, giving people a feeling of not smiling. Under the light of several bonfires, some of them looked like ghosts.

Jian Shuo's face is not very good-looking, and he regrets it a little in his heart.

Originally, Liu Xiu said that he would fight overnight today and strive to conquer Caohan City in one night, but he was also very excited, and it should be a bloody thing to sit on the command platform with Liu Xiu and watch the army attack the city. But after he sat on the podium for a while, he found that it was not the blood boiling, but the bitter cold.

Although it is only October, it is obviously much colder than Luoyang, the dry and cold northwest wind blows people cold, and the polished iron armor feels cold and cold, even if it is lined with thick robes underneath, it can't stop the cold wind.

And in the distance, the city of Caohan is under the light of fire, attacked from both sides, the soldiers above and below the city are desperately fighting, the arrows are flying in the air, from time to time there are screams blown by the night wind, ethereal and faint, like a ghost scream, in the earth-shaking war drums are obviously weak and inaudible, but tenaciously drill into everyone's ears, drill into everyone's heart, make people shudder.

The night breeze stirred the bonfire, and the flames swayed, illuminating everything in front of them changing shapes, and it seemed that every face was writhing in the night breeze, and it looked ghostly. The fierce sound of war drums and shouts of killing is endless, and you can't ignore all this even if you close your eyes.

If you stay in this place overnight, will you freeze into ice tomorrow? Jian Shuo shuddered, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He glanced at Liu Xiu from the corner of his eye, and wanted to talk to him, distracted, but saw Liu Xiu's face was blue, his eyes were staring at the city in the distance, and his forehead was blue.

"Who is the garrison at the head of the city?" Liu Xiu suddenly turned around and asked.

"It's Yan Shu." Yan Zhong took a step forward and whispered in Liu Xiu's ear: "Originally, he was from Jincheng, and later he was appointed as the chief of Caohan, and was appointed by Song Jian as a former general and stationed in Caohan. ”

Liu Xiu was very surprised, it seems that Song Jian is not so stupid as to be incorrigible, the guard who is arranged here is not well known, but the battle is loud and sè, and under the attack of Xiahou Yuan and Liyi, he can still counterattack in an orderly manner, Dian Wei has attacked the city three times, but he has been squeezed down three times, and Liyi and Zhang He in the south of the city have also been repulsed in both attacks. This is still in the case that there are no powerful bows and crossbows and other equipment to defend the city at the head of the city, if the equipment is complete, even if he is sent to the tiger battalion today, I am afraid that he will not be able to take this small city.

Liu Xiu glanced at Yan Zhong with his eyes, meaning that since his surname is Yan, is he related to you? Yan Zhong shook his head in understanding and blinked again. Liu Xiu understood, Yan Zhong meant that although there were two guards in the city, there were not enough troops in the city, and if there were no reinforcements to come, it was inevitable to break the city. How you perform next is up to you.

As the saying goes, there is a good understanding, Liu Xiu and Yan Zhong get along day and night, some words have long been expressed without words, just with one look, the other party can understand it. After receiving Yan Zhong's signal, Liu Xiu sighed, stood up, and turned around twice with obvious irritability, then stood still holding on to the railing, slapped it twice, leaned over and shouted loudly to Sima Fu Xie below: "Nanrong, send someone to ask, see how their casualties are?" ”

Fu Xie answered, turned around and left. Liu Xiu turned his head and shouted loudly, "Zhongkang, tell the tiger warriors to prepare." ”

Yu replied and turned to make arrangements.

Jian Shuo listened to it in his ears, and couldn't help but feel nervous, the decision of the military discussion was to attack by Xiahou Yuan and Lu Yi, and there was no combat mission for Xu Yu, and now arrange Xu Yu, is the battle ahead not going well? He hurriedly got up and walked to Liu Xiu's side, and glanced at Liu Xiu pretending to be calm: "General Wei, who are you?" ”

"Well, it's not good." Liu Xiu sighed and pointed to the city: "Have you seen that high fire?" ”

Jian Shuo followed his fingers, and sure enough, he saw a fire in the city, probably on a high beacon tower, but now it was dark, and the beacon tower below could not be seen clearly, and the fire was like a ghost fire hanging in the air.

"When we started to prepare, wolf smoke was lit in the city, and now it's a beacon fire, and the signal has become an emergency call for help. From here to Baishi, it is only forty miles, and the foot soldiers can reach it in two hours on a hurried march, and the cavalry can reach it in less than an hour, even if it is night, they dare not march in a hurry, but tomorrow morning, they will definitely be able to reach here. Liu Xiu clenched his fists and slammed it on the railing: "So, we only have one night." If we can't take it tonight, we'll have to retreat. ”

"Retreat?"

"Yes, I only have a month and a half of military rations left, and I can't even take a small Fanghan, how dare I expect White Rock City? There are seventy or eighty thousand Qiang people there to help. Liu Xiu sighed for a long time, frowning: "I was originally going against the crowd this time, if I don't have any record at all, how can I explain to the people of Liangzhou and Guanzhong?" If I can win Caohan, I can be regarded as forced to Song Jian's doorstep, and now it seems that this wish will be difficult to come true. ”

Jian Shuo was stunned for a long time, "What is General Wei going to do?" ”

"There was really no way, so I had to take the Tiger Battalion into battle in person, hoping to boost morale and break the enemy in one battle."

"Isn't it too dangerous for you to go into battle yourself?" Jian Shuo said worriedly: "Although those cavalry soldiers are not as skilled as the foot soldiers, they are not useless at all, why don't you send them to attack the city?" ”

"No." Liu Xiu pointed to the northwest and then to the south: "There is Zhong Wu's army in the west, and there are Qiang people next to Baishi City in the south, I can't help but prevent them from coming to relieve the siege at night." The four thousand cavalry on each side are already barely in trouble, how can they be transferred again, in case which side kills thousands of Qiang people, wouldn't it be a complete defeat? ”

Jian Shuo is silent, Liu Xiu now wants soldiers or no soldiers, and he wants food or food, this is a tight life. Now if you want to fight in person with the dignity of General Wei, there is no way. He licked his cold and chapped lips and hesitated for a moment: "General Wei, you still sit here and command, the sword has no eyes, in case it is injured by mistake, what is good?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled helplessly: "I don't want to either, but here and now, it's a pity to give up." I don't care, how will you explain to Your Majesty when you go back? I'm sure you won't put the blame on me, but the labor is useless, and it doesn't look good in your face, right? ”

Jian Shuo's heart warmed, and he smiled embarrassedly, he was also worried about it, but he felt that he couldn't say it.

"General Wei still thinks twice." Jian Shuo looked at the bright moon in the sky, "Wait, maybe the soldiers will be able to break the city in a while." ”

Liu Xiu looked into the distance and nodded helplessly.

Koji Yi carried the bloody sword, inhaled heavily, and the dry and cold air mixed with the heavy smell of blood poured into his lungs, but it made him feel pain and excitement. He retreated from the front of the formation under the cover of his personal guards, and when he saw Fu Xie, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Fu Sima, why are you here?" What orders does General Wei have? ”

Fu Xie smiled and glanced at the guards at the head of the city who were urgently repairing: "Did the fight hurt?" ”

"It hurts!" Lu Yi shouted: "Yan Shu has two strokes, if it weren't for learning from Xiahou Miao for a few days, he would have almost suffered from him today." He immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "But please rest assured General Wei, you will definitely be able to take Caohan City today." ”

Fu Xie was happy: "How about the casualties?" ”

"It's fine." Koji Yi tore off his helmet and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "There are no large bows and crossbows in the city, and those stones and the like have been deceived by the fools, and now they can only fight with us." Our armor and weapons are all stronger than theirs, and the casualties should be about one to two, and there are many wounded, and the real battle deaths are limited. ”

Fu Xie thought about it for a while, the casualty ratio of the two sides of the city's attack and defense is usually one to four, and the casualty ratio of Koji Yi is only one to two, and the casualties are much smaller than expected, and it seems that there is still hope for breaking the city today.

"Don't be too violent, you must slowly consume the opponent's sharpness, so as not to suffer too many casualties." Fu Xie said: "General Wei will send someone to assist at that time to attract the attention of the city head, you save some effort, don't be scared when it comes to the critical time." ”

"How so." Koji shook his head, disapproving. He can't help but be in a hurry, Xiahou Yuan is attacking in the north of the city, although he doesn't know the details, but listening to the sound of war drums, he can also know that Xiahou Yuan has attacked the city several times, and he has not been able to go to the city so far. If Xiahou Yuan broke the city first, wouldn't he be busy in vain? "I keep it, even if my casualties are too large, when the time comes, the Euphorbia will definitely be able to climb first."

Fu Xie didn't say anything more, he took a cursory look, and saw that although the soldiers were covered in blood, they all looked good, all of them looked like beasts that smelled blood, their eyes were shining, and there was no cowardice, which was relieved. He rushed to the north of the city again and saw the situation of Xiahou Yuan with his own eyes, which returned to the Chinese army.

"General Wei, after fighting hard for half the night, the soldiers are a little tired, I don't think we can attack anymore."

Liu Xiu was silent, and Jian Shuo was anxious: "It's been fighting hard for half the night, how can you withdraw it?" ”

Fu Xie frowned: "Lord Supervisor, the siege of the city is not as good as the field battle, the art of war is cloudy, half a mile of small city, 4,000 guards, although 100,000 troops attack it, it can't be attacked." Now our army has only 5,000 foot soldiers, and we have to guard against tens of thousands of reinforcements, at this time, like a blind man riding a blind horse, it is extremely dangerous. ”

Fu Xie is tall, his voice is loud, and he is righteous and stern, and he is speechless for a while, if you want to talk about these truths, where is he Fu Xie's opponent. Jian Shuo looked at Liu Xiu for help, and Liu Xiu waved his hand: "Nanrong, I know your worries, but because of this, we can't give up easily, otherwise how can we be worthy of Your Majesty's trust, and how can we be worthy of the money and food provided by the people of Guanzhong?" ”

"General Wei......" Fu Xie shouted loudly: "Your status is noble, and you can't take danger lightly." ”

Xun You and Yan Zhong also stepped forward to dissuade them, resolutely refusing to let Liu Xiu go into battle in person. Liu Xiu jumped like thunder, beat his chest, and said that he must go into battle in person, boost morale, and break through the city of Caohan to repay the trust of the sky. Jian Shuo saw it in his eyes, and he was also excited, but looking at the tragedy in front of the battle, he didn't dare to express his support, otherwise he would have encouraged Liu Xiu to go into battle, what should Yan Zhong do if they want him to go too? Jian Shuo thought for a while, and had an idea: "General Wei, if you want to boost morale, there is no need to go into battle in person, in case you have any losses, wouldn't it be a loss to morale?" In my opinion, you can go to that high platform and let all the soldiers see you, so that it can boost morale without being too risky, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

As soon as Jian Shuo's words fell, Yan Zhong, who was "persuading" hard, immediately picked up: "What the Lord of the Prison Army said is very true, please General Wei adopt it." ”

"That's ...... All right? ”

"Okay!" Jian Shuo said repeatedly: "I am willing to accompany General Wei to go and cheer for the soldiers." ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Yan Zhong and the others said in unison, and they were a little fluttering.

When Liu Xiu saw it, he no longer insisted, and got off the command platform with Jian Shuo and rushed to the mound only fifty or sixty steps away from the city. Song Xiao, who was directing the archers on the mound, saw that Liu Xiu and Jian Shuo were coming together, and he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly made a gap. Xu Yu and Zhou Ming raised their shields and formed a shield wall in front of Liu Xiu.

Looking at the city head here is much clearer than on the command car, and all kinds of sounds can be heard clearly, with a deafening effect, Jian Shuo is a little weak, but he is unwilling to show timidity, takes a few deep breaths, and finally stands firm.

"Bow here!" As soon as Liu Xiu stretched out his hand, Pang De hurriedly handed over his three-stone hard bow. Liu Xiu took the bow in his hand, opened the bow and set the arrow, and when the string sounded, a small officer at the head of the city fell in response.

"General Wei is good at archery!" Jian Shuo praised, itched for a while, and also took the bow shè two arrows. The city was full of people, and it was so close that even if it wasn't too stupid, even if it was Meng, it could cover a person. Jian Shuo's two arrows were all hit, shè injured a soldier, and there was still some regret in his heart, but the soldiers next to him were applauded, and he hooked up Jian Shuo's heart, and shè a few arrows in one breath, and shè knocked down two soldiers again.

"Lord Overseer is good at archery, he can do this for the first time, and he will be a sharpshooter in the future." Liu Xiu said half-jokingly, Jian Shuo smiled, and was modest: "Compared with General Wei's magic arrow, I am like child's play, don't mention it." ”

"Otherwise, the first time I shè arrow, but shè hurt the person standing behind me." Liu Xiu laughed.

Jian Shuo couldn't help laughing.

Their presence greatly invigorated the besieging soldiers, and the attack intensified, and the city also spotted them, and the arrows rained down. However, there were Xu Yu and others to protect them, although the rain of arrows was dense, but they couldn't hurt them, and listening to the sound of the arrows and shields, he was unharmed, and he was still able to talk to Liu Xiu leisurely, which made Jian Shuo feel a great feeling, he became more and more calm and calm, high-spirited, and felt that he was also a famous general who commanded Ruoding.

Liu Xiu observed for a moment, flapped his arms, walked to the drummer, took the drum, and beat the cowhide war drum vigorously. The drums exploded, and more than 1,000 soldiers who had been standing still waved their flags and poured towards the city wall like water. They shouted that the sound of killing shook the sky, and the head of the city did not know the truth, thinking that the official army was going to start attacking in Dongcheng, so they hurriedly transferred some guards over.

At the same time, a huge feint attack began in the west of the city.

When Xiahou Yuan heard this drum, he knew that the time for a general attack had come, so he didn't leave a back hand, and ordered all of them to be pressed and never stopped. Xiahou Yuan took the lead, raised his sword and ran wildly, Dian Wei did not dare to slack off, and followed closely with the remaining dozens of heavily armored guards, they flew up to the siege vehicle that had been shaking, crossed the squeaky wooden bridge, rushed to the head of the city, and slashed and killed.

The main general personally went into battle, no one dared to lag behind, Jiang Wu and Yan Wen also pushed the latter battering ram and rushed up, they shouted neatly and slammed the city gate with the battering ram, in the sound of impact again and again, the city gate roared, and gradually became a little unable to hold on.

In the south of the city, Koji Yi raised his sword and roared, completely forgetting his promise to let Zhang He lead the halberd to charge, and ran wildly with his personal guards. Zhang He shook his head helplessly, and ordered his subordinates to attack Ji Qingyun with the halberd soldiers, but he stayed in the city, and ordered the soldiers under the city to form a formation and stand by and be ready to support at any time, instead of rushing up in a mess.

The officers and troops suddenly exerted their strength and attacked on all sides, causing a great chaos in the city for a while, they had been fighting for most of the night, and they were tired and tired at this time, but the reinforcements had not been able to see the shadow, and they had already despaired in their hearts, if it were not for the strict control of the generals defending the city, they would have collapsed long ago.

Despite this, they didn't last long, as Lu Yi and Xiahou Yuan jumped onto the city wall in no particular order, the brutal battle began, and at the same time, Jiang Wu and Yan Wen roared in unison, and more than a hundred people slammed into the city gate with battering rams. The gate groaned, shook violently twice, and collapsed with a bang.

Jiang Wu cheered, threw it to the battering ram, pulled out his war knife, cut down a stunned guard with one sword, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The soldiers were overjoyed, roaring, and rushed into the city, slashing and slewing.

The city gate was breached, the defenders' painstaking defense line completely collapsed, and the defenders above and below the city shouted and fled in all directions. The guard Yan Shu was shocked and cut down two routs one after another, but he couldn't stop the rout like a break. After a stunned effort, Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei killed left and right. Yan Shu sighed, and was about to raise his knife to commit suicide, when a young man flashed out from behind him, shook the spear in his hand, and went straight to Xiahou Yuan, who was the first to pounce, and shouted: "Hugh hurt my Abba!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was taken aback, instinctively swung his knife and slammed the spear away, stopping his steps. The young man struck a blow, but he didn't let anyone, and with a flick of his wrist, the spear shook out a ball of spear shadows, tightly protecting Yan Shu's body. Yan Shu looked at it fixedly, and shouted anxiously: "Yanming, go!" As he spoke, he raised his knife and rushed up, slashing at Xiahou Yuan headlessly.

When Xiahou Yuan saw it, he couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand while raising his knife to parry: "Come on, capture this pair of fathers!" ”

On the mound, Liu Xiu smiled at Jian Shuo and said, "This time, you are the first to work." ”

Jian Shuo looked at the city head where the situation was rapidly turning, and laughed loudly, which was extremely meaningful. To be continued
