Chapter 7: Take the Crash Wood
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Yuan Shu's main force suddenly arrived, and Cao Chun had no choice but to obey Cheng Yu's construction and lead six or seven thousand soldiers and horses to resist. In the distance, I could only hear the sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of swords clashing one after another, and I thought that I had already taken up the battle.
In a short time, a horse was reported to the side of the moat, saying that the total number of Yuan's army was between 10,000 and 20,000, and Cao Chun took advantage of his unstable foothold to take the lead in charging into battle, barely blocking the enemy's position, but--"Zi and the general thought to themselves, the disparity between the numbers is huge, I am afraid that the division will be defeated without the dawn, please do your best to rescue the lord and withdraw to the camp!" ”
It was Xun Xin who said that I also want to rescue Cao Cao, but this fire has not been cleared yet, so what else can I do except stare dryly? In this situation, it is estimated that even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Kong Ming is precocious, it will be helpless! Seeing that the arrows and rockets in the city had been completely suppressed by Cao Jun's crossbowmen, he simply shook the reins and rushed directly onto the drawbridge - he must observe the fire scene more closely and observe the process of clearing the obstacles, otherwise his heart will really jump out of the cavity!
The greatest sorrow in life is helplessness, knowing that the danger is approaching step by step, but there is no solution to it.
Cheng Yu reminded him in the back: "Hongfu be careful, be careful not to get too close!" ”
In fact, strictly speaking, Shixun's courage is not too small, but the previous life has lived in a peaceful and tranquil environment for nearly 30 years, from kindergarten to primary school, middle school, university and then to entry, it needs to work hard but does not need to fight, it needs to trek but does not need to open up, it lacks the sharpening of the wind and frost sword, like a small flower in a greenhouse...... Weeds in general. Therefore, when he came to this world, he had no ambition or ambition, just thinking about how to blend into the circle of scholars and live steadfastly.
But after all, he is no longer the Yiren boy who just crossed over, and if he wanted to survive at that time, he relied on struggle rather than risk; He wasn't just a nameless junior in the scholarly circle, and he wanted to live a better life at that time. It's about seizing opportunities, not taking risks. Since he was hot-headed for a while, after saying the Yellow Turban in the downstream of Duchang City, he has also taken a lot of risks over the years, and his courage has gradually increased invisibly - besides, in this troubled era, if he wants to gradually rise in status and live a comfortable life without wind and waves, is there really such a relaxed and happy thing in the world?
Although many things have not really been experienced, Tong Guò's perennial study of history books has made it clear that there is no such thing as a peaceful paradise in any era. What's more, what has crossed is the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty. And I often feel full of malice from God......
Besides. At this time, just rushing onto the suspension bridge is not very risky. Could it be that the sea of fire in front of you will be blazing in an instant, and the flames will suddenly engulf themselves? In those days, there was no gunpowder, and only some pine resin and animal fat depended on. It will not be so. Could it be that it was so coincidental that there would be stray arrows flying in the air, just to hit themselves? Is it Hoon who shot arrows down the city, and it was in a small way? At the head of Hancheng, the Shouchun City in front of him was thick and tall, and he didn't believe that ordinary soldiers could shoot and injure himself from such a distance - he was not unprotected.
In comic books, film and television dramas, and on the stage, it seems that the military division has no armor or armor when he goes into battle, wearing a bare robe or even a Taoist robe. That's actually very unreliable. Swords and guns have no eyes, stray arrows have no eyes, the end of the strong crossbow can not wear Lu Min, when the strength is not exhausted, shoot through ordinary silk and linen fabrics, and then shoot through human skin. That's still a very easy thing to do. Therefore, in the official history, Pang Tong died in the middle of the city, and in the romance, he was pierced through the heart by random arrows before falling into Fengpo - yes, you don't have armor at all, and it's strange if you don't be shot into a hedgehog!
It is Xun, including Xun You and Cheng Yu, since they followed Cao Cao into battle, they naturally have armor on their bodies. Is Xun wearing that set of home-made leather armor, Guan Si has repeatedly advised to put iron armor on Quan'an, but he has rejected it - I am not a fierce general of Lixiong Wanfu, not Sun Ce, not even Lu Bu, wearing that thing, like a can, can I still walk? But in order to save his life, he still installed some nail plates on his chest, similar to the heart guards of later generations. This kind of protection, even if it is excellent in this era, the general long-distance arrows, unless they are really so coincidental, are in the middle of the nail seam, otherwise at most they will scratch a little oily skin, and it is really difficult to hurt the muscles and bones.
Therefore, it was Xun who dared to be bold and rushed to the suspension bridge to observe the shape up close. At this glance, the situation was really not very good--most of the rolling logs thrown from the city were nearly a foot in diameter and six or seven feet long, and they could not be provoked by three or five soldiers holding spears, and even so, at every turn, some small soldiers vomited blood with their spears and were forced to change people. This, this, this, how long will it take to clean up the fire like this? When the fire was extinguished, Cao Cao's body ...... The daylilies are cold!
Yeshun couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his head vigorously - it's Hongsuke, it's Hongsuke, although you don't know how to fight, you also have some wisdom, and you have two thousand years of knowledge more than others, can't you think of a better way? He raised his eyes and took a closer look, the city gate was still open, it is estimated that after Cao Jun entered the city, he had tried to control the vicinity of the city gate, or damaged the machine, so the opponent could not close the door and lock it for the time being, so he could only block it with wood, stone and fire, and when the fire was ignited, who would dare to close the door? Case......
Thinking of this, Shixun couldn't help but shout: "Take the crashing wood!" Take the bumper wood! ”
The so-called striking wood is a kind of temporary simple siege equipment, in short, it is to cut down the thick trunk of the tree, sharpen one end, and tie it with a thick rope to hit the city gate. A little more delicate hitting the wood, can also be called a "crash", under the big wheel (or directly put the crash wood on the cart), relying on human power to push to hit the city. In the rudimentary collision of wood, two teams of soldiers carry ropes on their backs to collide.
Cao Jun had just arrived at Shouchun City yesterday, and he hadn't made a crash in a hurry, but he had cut a few crash logs. Cao Cao's night attack on Shouchun naturally couldn't bring such a heavy tool, but Cao Chun's army behind the palace had it with him, in order to be able to come in handy if the sneak attack failed and he was forced to attack hard.
Therefore, Xun Gao shouted for the soldiers to carry the striking wood and use it to hit the rolling wood and stones in front of the city gate - how many lifetimes do you have to pick this piece of wood into the moat? Since the city gate has not yet been closed, let's simply rush out of the sea of fire with a collision!
In fact, his idea was not very clever, but Cheng Zhongde was a little flustered, and he didn't observe the fire as closely as he did, so he was confused for a while and didn't think of it. At this moment, hearing Shi Xun's shouting, Cheng Yu reacted: "It's what you said when you join the army!" Pick up the wood, take the wood! ”
So Shi Xun and those Cao soldiers who were holding spears and picking up wood and carrying shields to defend against arrows hurriedly withdrew from the drawbridge. Immediately, more than 20 soldiers on the left and right rushed over with huge bumping trees. Cheng Yu also assigned an equal number of sword and shield soldiers to cover him, and if any of the wood-bumper soldiers were injured, they could be replaced in time - that's all, and there were really no more people squeezed on the suspension bridge.
I saw that the timber-battering soldiers shouted slogans, rushed onto the drawbridge, and slammed the timber-slamming into the fire. After watching from behind the drawbridge for a while, he sent a few spearmen into the crowd and pushed the small pieces of burnt log as far as they could, left and right, or into the trench. Nature is much easier than picking. And so it was. The progress of clearing the fire is much faster. It is estimated that if there is more time for a meal, the passage can be opened along the lì.
But at this time, another Tanma hurriedly reported: "Hundreds of Yuan troops rode from the flank to attack Zihe General's headquarters, and Zihe General was difficult to resist." Quickly ask the two to join the army and then send troops and horses to cover it! Cheng Yu gritted his teeth: "Please ask Hongfu here, if the city gate is opened, I will be sent to report to me and wait to know!" As he spoke, he raised more than a thousand soldiers and galloped towards the southwest.
Alas, what's this doing? It was Xun Xin who said why did you all run away one by one, leaving me here alone? Looking left and right, the highest position by the city gate is now only a hundred generals, and he can't afford the responsibility of commanding at all - no need to ask, this responsibility will naturally fall on his shoulders!
But my shoulders are narrow. How can you afford such a heavy responsibility? Now that rescuing Cao Cao is the first priority, why can you rest assured that I will command the cleanup of the fire?
But after thinking about it, I can't help Cheng Yu not to leave. If Cao Chun is broken by Yuan Jun, and Yuan Jun is killed under the city, all of his people will be finished. Even if the fire is cleared and Cao Cao is picked up, what can it do? At that time, Cao Cao will die in the city, go out of the city or die, even if he has the protection of Dian Wei, I am afraid he will not be able to return to the sky, right? What about the reinforcements from the other gates? Why hasn't it arrived yet? Where did Xiahou Yuan chase Yuan Shu? Why haven't you come back? Isn't this my own life?
He is grinding with this, estimating that Cao Cao has entered Shouchun City for more than half an hour, if there are not 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but more, and most of them are gathered in the West Gate, 5,000 Cao troops are in a hurry Ambush, can they really resist it? How long can it last? According to the initial information, the Yuan army that was originally in the city was less than 30,000, and just now Tanma said that the main force of the Yuan army killed in the southwest direction was more than 10,000, and 20,000 was insufficient, that is to say, it is likely that there were tens of thousands of soldiers hidden in the city. How long can Cao Cao hold on? Can it support until the gate is opened? Cao Chun and Cheng Yu behind them are also one against two, and they will face off on the plains, how long can they hold on? Even if the passage is opened, will he have a chance to take Cao Cao out of Shouchun safely and escort him back to the camp?
Camp? That's right, big camp! Seeing that Cao Cao is about to hang up, what are you going to do in the camp at this time? ! Cao Hong still has more than 10,000 soldiers in the battalion, he should be allowed to abandon the camp to come to the rescue, maybe there is still a glimmer of life! He was about to give an order - that is, an order to deliver a letter, but as for Cao Hongken's refusal to listen, only God knows - when he heard a cheer in front of him, he looked up and looked, well, the passage is open!
The timber managed to break through a narrow road, and the flames were so loud that there was only room for two or three people to pass the guò side by side, but that was enough. Shi Xun immediately pulled out the saber at his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "Rush in and rescue the lord!" ”
At this time, there were only three or four thousand Cao soldiers gathered in front of the moat, and when they heard Shi Xun's words, they all had the backbone, and immediately shouted, and everyone rushed forward bravely. The soldiers who were carrying the striking wood also worked together to push the striking wood into the trench and open the passage on the drawbridge. Shixun originally planned to send half of the men and horses to the rescue, and he led the other half to meet outside the city, but he didn't expect that he was rushing in front of the suspension bridge at this time, and he was rushed by the brigade, and he ran towards the fire involuntarily......
Alas, how can this be said? I don't want to go in, it's too dangerous inside! I'm the commander, and I must stay outside the city to command! A puff of smoke came to his face, he couldn't help but close his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the city gate cave with people and horses! Looking back, Cao Bing rushed forward one after another, and also pushed him to continue to crash into the city.
It's over, I can't get out! (To be continued)
