1524 Full siege
Xu Huang was stunned and couldn't help asking, "General Fan, why don't you fight back?" ”
"You and I have lived and died together, advancing and retreating together, today I will let you make three moves, and then I will break off righteousness." Fan Jinqiang arched his hand and said.
Xu Huang's eyes moistened, and then he said: "The general is benevolent and righteous, but you and I are destined to not be able to go the same way, why bother!" ”
"The words have been spoken, and they will not be taken back. Come on, Fan will pick you up again. Fan Jinqiang beckoned.
Xu Huang took a deep breath, let go of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and rotated the big axe, with heavy light and shadow, towards Fan Jinqiang's body and was shrouded in all directions.
In the face of such a strong offensive, Fan Jinqiang still did not fight back, waved the iron rod at will, and once again used the force of the impact to pop out more than ten meters.
One party attacked frequently with guilt, but the other party did not fight back, Cao Ei's face turned cold, he is an extremely smart person, Fan Jinqiang did this, and he had the intention of winning people's hearts.
Cao Zhen also understood this truth, and beat the drum more violently, Xu Huang heard the drum, sighed, and rushed up with a big axe again.
After the three moves, Fan Jinqiang calmed down, and the iron rod in his hand faced the mountain opening axe, and immediately turned into several black and thick dragon-shaped lights and shadows, roaring and attacking Xu Huang.
The sound of crackling and popping immediately came from the battlefield, and the two generals fought together, and the dust rolled up by the war horses made it almost impossible to see the figures of the two people.
"General Fan is a good means." Xu Huang praised it, and the big axe in his hand became more and more aggressive, and the next blow was heavy.
"General Xu has not wasted his martial arts, and he is even better than before." Fan Jinqiang responded, the iron rod was hard connected every time, and the two of them were power-type battlefields, and every time they hit with great force, the four hooves of the war horse under the crotch fell into the mud.
Xu Huang didn't remember how long it had been since he had such a happy battle, he kept laughing out loud in his mouth, and he used all his martial arts At this time, it didn't matter if he could defeat Fan Jinqiang, he just wanted to have a happy fight.
Now Fan Jinqiang's martial arts are slightly better than Xu Huang, but he didn't use all his strength, because he didn't want to really kill the other party.
The two generals fought for an hour, and there was still no victory or defeat, and the two of them also exchanged martial arts experience with relaxed expressions from time to time, and occasionally laughed.
Cao Zhen couldn't help but be anxious, feeling that Xu Huang was doing it on purpose, and he didn't work hard at all.
Cao Rong also had a solemn look on his face, Fan Jinqiang's strength was not in doubt, and he was not worried that Xu Huang would temporarily defect and take refuge in Wang Baoyu. was just worried that he would be injured or captured, and after discussing with Cao Zhen, the two agreed and immediately started the army and rushed up.
"General Xu, fight again in the coming days." Fan Jinqiang's iron rod suddenly swung out, swinging Xu Huang's big axe away, and then led the army back to the city in a hurry.
"General Fan, there will be a period later!" Xu Huang said reluctantly.
When Cao Zhen arrived with his troops, the city gate was closed, and there was no trace of Fan Jinqiang and others, so he couldn't help but ask Xu Huang angrily: "Xu Gongming, you don't go to chase after the victory, but say goodbye here, what do you mean?" ”
"How do you know that the other party will not cheat?" Xu Huang retorted disdainfully, turned around and retreated into the formation.
"Just wheat city, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what can you do if you have fraud?" Cao Zhen shouted behind him unconvinced.
"Hmph, next time you can be the pioneer!" Xu Huang didn't reply, and then let Cao Zhen nag him, without saying a word, his face was pale.
Cao Rong was also very dissatisfied with Xu Huang's expression, no one forced you to do anything, but there should always be a clear attitude, besides, Xu Huang is still one of the leaders of the army, if everyone is like him, how can this battle be fought? But Xu Huang is a veteran after all, with countless military exploits, and he is deeply valued by his grandparents, so he didn't say anything for a while.
Subsequently, 400,000 Wei soldiers launched a full-scale siege of the city, and the soldiers carried the ladder and pushed out the giant trees that hit the city gate, surging forward.
In the face of the vast sea of Wei soldiers that could not be seen at a glance, Fan Jinqiang was not afraid and commanded all the soldiers to carry out a stubborn defense.
After holding out for two hours, Cao Zhen commanded the army, and finally came to the city wall, and while slamming the city gate, he set up a ladder and began to forcibly attack the city.
A large number of rolling wood boulders fell from the sky, the preparation was very sufficient, the number was amazing, the screams of the Wei soldiers kept coming, and there were countless people who broke bones and tendons.
The city wall could not be climbed at all for a while, Cao Zhen turned his head and focused on attacking the city gate, at any cost, he must withstand the arrows and boulders, and knock the city gate open first.
The sound of the giant tree banging on the door kept coming, and the iron door kept trembling, as if it would collapse in the next moment. The number of dead and wounded of the Wei army was also very painful, and Cao Rong's brows were not raised, but in order to be able to break through the city of Mai, he finally remained silent.
However, just when the iron gate was about to be knocked down, many soldiers carrying buckets suddenly appeared above the city gate, Cao Rong was shocked, and quickly stood up, knowing that this must be a trick of Wang Baoyu and others, and was thinking about whether to withdraw the army, but it was too late, a large amount of black liquid poured down, some viscous, and the smell was pungent, so that the soldiers almost became black.
Cao Zhen knew what this was and hurriedly shouted to withdraw his troops, but the rockets above the city wall immediately shot down, and in an instant, those liquids were ignited and quickly spread into a sea of fire.
These liquids are naturally the oil transported from Fancheng, which is easy to burn but cannot be extinguished, and the soldiers who were stained with oil immediately turned into burning people, running wildly screaming, and more people ran in the direction of their own team.
However, in the face of this situation, the soldiers were extremely distressed and helpless, so they had to retreat backwards for a distance, and these desperate fire men quickly fell to the ground, and finally turned to ashes, and their bones were gone.
The giant tree that hit the city gate also burned, making a crackling sound, thick smoke billowed out, the fire soared into the sky, no one dared to approach the giant tree, seeing this situation, Cao Zhen could only lead the army to retreat.
The first siege was declared a failure, and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost, which made Cao Rong very shocked. Maicheng is so small, and the 400,000 army can't break through, so you can imagine how strong Yiling should be.
Cao Ei's army did not retreat from Maicheng because of this, and still surrounded the entire city tightly, Cao Zhen attributed the defeat of this siege to the other party's use of special grease, and he already had a proper countermeasure.
At the same time, the horses also came to report and found three armies, stationed on the south, east, and west sides, although they were not large in number, but they could not be ignored.
"Holy Lord, our army is now in the midst of the opponent's counter-encirclement, and the last general is willing to ask for his life to go and attack it." Xu Huang said.
