Chapter 249: Launching a General Attack
Of course, such an achievement is inseparable from his diligent pursuit and unremitting efforts, how many times he has exhausted himself to consider things, and sometimes even insomnia because of this, but the next day he has to return to the battlefield, as a military commander, he has to be responsible for the hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of brothers under him, and every decision he makes is related to the survival and development of this army, and it can also be said that every decision he makes is a matter of life and death, so he is cautious every time he makes a decision, and fully considers the gains and losses after making a decision. Try to avoid any loopholes and try to win with the least cost.
This time is no exception Guan Yu weighed the pros and cons, just made the above actions, now he is becoming more and more mature in decision-making, no longer to the previous debut as sincere and fearful, forward-looking, hesitant, now his decision-making is very decisive, without the slightest hesitation more confident, of course, his personal heroism and absolute domineering are also born from this, a lot of things are all made by themselves, a lot of decisions are also made by themselves, they have discretion in many aspects, The infinite expansion of power has made him more arbitrary, but in other words, in this era, arbitrariness is actually nothing, especially in the military, because nothing can be done without arbitrariness
The second day came as scheduled, the sky was still gray and drizzling, the water trapped in Feng Yicheng was still unabated, the people in the city had been living in the water for a day and a night, many people couldn't bear it anymore, they not only lacked clothes but also lacked food, the weather at this time was already cold, the taste of living in the water can be imagined, but one thing is for sure, living in the water will not cause death. Even if he is sick, he will not die because of this, otherwise Guan Yu will not consider the method of water attack. The soldiers defending the city were soaked in water and still held on to the city gates, and their lives were relatively better. Because at a certain time, you can change to the city to rest, this is a generous treatment for them, although it is still not easy to guard the city gate, especially now that Guan Yu's army has come to the city.
On this day, Guan Yu's waterway was launched from all sides, and thousands of rafts launched a general attack together, attacking Feng Yicheng from all sides of Feng Yicheng, among which Guan Yu and Zhou Cang took a wooden boat to lead three hundred rafts to attack Feng Yicheng's front, and the four warships in front were all equipped with siege equipment, and two of the big ships were close together to bear a large wooden stake weighing several thousand catties, and the wooden stake was tied to the bow of the ship. It is almost nailed to the ship, and the ship is one, not to be exact, it is on the ship, unable to move, the front is exposed a large section, ready to hit the city gate to open, and then see that there are more than 100 people on the ship neatly and vertically, divided into two rows all rowing oars, and the soldiers who are rocking the oars are shouting slogans. Combining movements and slogans, they moved and moved towards the main gate east of Feng Yicheng, and the bow of the ship was covered with straw for cover. The crew of the oars sat in the cabin to prevent the city from attacking, and the ship moved quickly and quickly rushed to the main entrance.
Xu Rong in the city saw Guan Yu attacking. I was really panicked, and then I looked at the city gates on all sides. Xu Rong couldn't help but be shocked, so he and Yang Fu began to command. The two quickly divided the work, Xu Rong mainly grasped the east battlefield and the south, and Yang Fu was responsible for the west battlefield and the north, so that the two people acted separately to command the soldiers in the city to start blocking, Xu Rong saw that Guan Yu was the main east gate, so he arranged for the archers to take turns shooting under the city, Guan Yu saw Xu Rong release the arrow again, so he ordered the raft to turn the direction again, and replaced it with the bow of straw to continue to move forward, so that the bow shot by Xu Rong's archers was picked up again, Xu Rong saw this and ordered to stop firing arrows and wait for the enemy to approach before considering shooting, However, hundreds of rafts suddenly lost their resistance, and soon gathered under the city, especially the large ships that were the vanguard, carrying large logs, rushed straight towards the city gate.
Seeing this, Xu Rong then ordered the city to throw rolling wood and stones, and suddenly a large number of rolling wood and stones fell from the sky and smashed into the head boat, at this time the head boat has begun to hit the door, but heard a "bang" sound The head boat crashed into the city gate with lightning speed, at this time Feng Yidong City Gate and pontoon bridge blocked, the pontoon bridge has not had time to lift the pioneer ship has already arrived and hit the city gate, this collision hit the city gate "flickered", only to see the iron lock of the city gate trembled, and the soldiers guarding the gate were knocked into the water by this sudden blow.
Guan Yu's pioneer ship was about to launch a second attack, but unexpectedly, all the rolling wood and stones on the city fell on the ship, the cabin was suddenly smashed, and the warriors on the ship were stoned to death on the ship before they had time to resist, and the pioneer ship died at the city gate before it had time to launch a second attack, Guan Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, he ordered all the rafts that rushed to the city gate to apply the hook to attack the city, and the sergeants quickly received the order, when the raft rushed to the city gate, the soldiers on the raft had already flown up the hook in their hands, Suddenly, hundreds of hooks flew towards Feng Yicheng together.
Seeing this, Xu Rong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to cut the rope and open it, at the same time, the pioneer ship once again poured a large number of warriors and began to paddle hard to prepare for the second attack, Xu Rong had already seen it, he once again ordered the soldiers to throw the rolling wooden stones, at this time the two wooden boats were already unbearable, the previously thrown rolling wooden stones were still stuck on the boat, and then this group of warriors had reached the limit of bearing, this time the sky flew down the rolling wooden stones again, not only smashed the warriors on the ship again, the whole ship was also submerged in the water, Guan Yu saw that the assault boat was blocked again, so he said to Zhou Cang: "We can't attack like this anymore, we have to change the way of attacking!" ”
"What did the general say?" Zhou Cang was anxious all of a sudden.
Guan Yu then said: "Arrange a few powerful warriors, float underwater, support the whole boat for impact, if you can really hold up the whole boat, but only one more can knock the city gate open, you must know that this boat has tens of thousands of catties of gravity, you choose a few powerful warriors, we will do this together!" ”
When Zhou Cang heard this, his interest rose to the extreme, and he said: "The general must do it and watch me!" While saying that, he swam towards the pioneer ship, Guan Yu knew that Zhou Cang's ability to bind a thousand catties, and this time he also used the agitation method, Zhou Cang was excited when he heard it, and immediately a fierce man plunged into the water and swam to the pioneer boat, Guan Yu knew that Zhou Cang was strong, but to hold up such a heavy ship, he was still a little stretched, which Guan Yu had already seen, although Zhou Cang volunteered to rush over, in order to ensure that the big ship weighing 10,000 catties could be held up, Guan Yu commanded his eighteen warriors to go into battle together, Follow Zhou Cang to carry the big boat to drive over, nearly twenty people, but it is still a little difficult to hold up this big boat, Zhou Cang binds two thousand catties by one person, and the rest of the people have to tie four hundred catties each, although the eighteen warriors have some courage, but to reach this level Guan Yu is still a little worried, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Guan Yu decided to personally go out and help.
Guan Yu decided to use qigong, if he did it himself, his strength would be nearly ten times greater, and what was the concept of ten times the way of the Dao? If he usually only has a few hundred catties of strength, a gong is a few thousand catties, enough to afford this big ship, Guan Yu thought of this to take off his armor, a fierce man plunged into the water, because he grew up in the countryside, he practiced a water very early, and soon swam to the bottom of the big boat, at this time the river outside the city is three meters deep, Guan Yu and everyone lurked to the bottom of the assault boat, everyone began to exert force, Guan Yu took a breath in advance, Zhou Cang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Guan Yu arrive, Zhou Cang said Guan Yu said: "General, why are you here?" ”
"How can you afford to move such a big ship if I don't come?" Guan Yu asked rhetorically.
Zhou Cang said angrily after hearing this: "This boat is only a few thousand catties, I Zhou Cang can handle it alone, why bother so many people to mobilize the people?" ”
Guan Yu saw that Zhou Cang was so ignorant of current affairs, so he said: "I won't help you, see if you can hold it up!" ”
Zhou Cang's angry hands began to slowly exert force, others in the water, both hands were about to hold up the big boat, but no matter how he exerted his strength, the boat was immovable, and then saw that Zhou Cang was already anxious steamed bread sweating, grinning but still to no avail, everyone saw what Fang knew Guan Yu said, so they began to move together, as the saying goes, "everyone picks up firewood and the flame is high", eighteen warriors plus Guan Yu, Zhou Cang, the two strong men, the scale of nearly 20 people, everyone shouted slogans, only to hear Guan Yu shouting "one, two, three" The big ship was slowly lifted up by everyone and hit Feng Yi's city gate hard, and the big ship weighing more than 10,000 pounds crashed into Feng Yi's east gate
Xu Rong, who was in the city, saw that the assault boat under the city was lifted up all of a sudden, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then saw that there were more than 20 people stretched out under the boat, only to know that it was Guan Yu who led everyone to hold up the big boat in the water, Xu Rong felt bad, so he hurriedly threw the rolling wood and stone to the soldiers in the city, but it was too late, but he saw that the big ship at this time was like riding the wind and waves and crashed straight towards the city gate, but he heard a loud "bang", and the big ship knocked down the east gate of Feng Yicheng at once. The guards guarding the city gate were suddenly knocked down in the water by this sudden big boat, and everyone took advantage of the momentum to push the big boat straight into the city, and the flood outside the city boosted the big ship to rush straight forward, like a broken bamboo, where did the guards of the city gate resist the enemy, and were forced to retreat by the big boat, lest they couldn't dodge, so Guan Yu and everyone kept pushing the big boat into the city, unstoppable.
Xu Rong saw that the city gate was broken by Guan Yu, and couldn't help but panic, so he commanded a group of soldiers to go down to the city to resist, but at this time, Guan Yu's army that climbed the city by scratching the hook was endless, Xu Rong had no choice but to allocate troops and refuse, the formation was chaotic all of a sudden, and many of the soldiers who climbed the city were cut off and had to fall from mid-air, but at this time, they would not worry about hurting themselves if they fell, because there was enough water below to support it, even if they fell down from mid-air, they fell into the water below with a pop, and it didn't matter. Therefore, the soldiers who rushed to climb the city wave after wave were not afraid of being cut off by the hook, and they climbed in vain, and they wasted some energy, so the people who climbed the city were scrambling and endless, so that the soldiers defending the city were so big.
