Chapter 1087: Decisive Battle of Chang'an (9)
As more and more catapults came into range, they began to throw stone bullets at the city, forming a dense rain of bullets, and the dragon cannons and magic cannons placed at the city head suffered heavy losses, making Cao's army rush to the city like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cloud ladders were set up at the head of the city, and dense Cao Jun ants attached to it, braving the falling rolling stones of the sandalwood and launched a fierce attack on the head of the city.
Cao Cao looked at the city that had become a meat grinder battlefield, frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky again. The torrential rain continued, and as the Cao army began to attack the city, the military skills affected not only the Zhu Ya army, but also caused a lot of trouble to the Cao army.
"Stop!"
Sima Yi was so shrewd, when he saw Cao Cao looking up at the sky, he immediately stopped his military skills, and in the blink of an eye, the wind and rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a round sun was revealed again.
The rainstorm stopped, and the morale of the Cao army skyrocketed again, and a wave broke out in one go, and in the blink of an eye, there were Cao Jun's bloody figures fighting in more than a dozen places on the city.
At this time, the millions of heavenly soldiers who stopped at high in the air destroyed the few magic cannons at the head of the city one by one, and immediately began to scatter, and the thunder light as thick as a baby's arm fell on the city, causing the city head to fall into chaos.
"Kill!"
The Cao army, which rushed to the head of the city, took the opportunity to shout in unison, and quickly expanded the results of the battle, and a large section of the city wall fell into the control of the Cao army.
The tide is over.
Cao Cao saw his army attacking the city from a distance, and he was in a very good mood, and praised loudly: "With such a fierce pawn, why worry about the immortality of Zhuya, why worry about the unification of the world?" ”
He was really happy.
NPCs are not players after all, and the inherent inertia of thinking makes him still stay in ancient siege warfare. Ancient siege warfare, it was a real flesh millstone, and the casualty rate was enough to break the morale of any iron army. So as a general, he had to take risks in person and personally lead his soldiers to the city.
However, at the moment, before General Cao officially played, the city head has been captured, which is equivalent to a great victory, if nothing else, the capture of Chang'an City is stable.
Soon after, the city gate was wide open, but it was Cao's army that captured the city, leaving a few people to continue to clear the recalcitrant Zhuya army on the city, while others took the opportunity to rush down the city wall and capture the city gate.
"Good!"
When Cao Cao saw the city gate open, he was immediately overjoyed and praised it. If the capture of the city head is the prelude to the fall of Chang'an City, then grabbing the city gate is equivalent to declaring the victory of the siege war.
Easy, too easy.
Cao Cao couldn't even believe the facts in front of him, how long had the siege been, the city walls had been taken, the city gates had been taken, and all that remained was to divide the troops to clear the remnants of the city, and to capture the most important target of the trip - Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya.
"King Zhuya is famous, how can he be so vulnerable, the minister thinks that there must be fraud in it." Guo Jia frowned and looked at Chang'an City from afar, not believing that Zhu Ya's army would be defeated so easily.
Guo Jia's exhortation poured cold water on Cao Cao's head, calmed him down, and nodded after a moment of silence: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, come to someone, pass the order, and you need to be cautious when entering the city, so as not to fall into the tricks of King Zhuya." ”
Cao Zhen and other generals responded and patted their horses, and each led their troops and horses to rush out of the battle. During the siege war, there were no generals to take the lead, and now the Cao army that attacked the city was leaderless, and only middle and low-level generals such as captains led the army.
If what the military advisor Guo Jia said was true, most of the Cao troops in the city would probably not be able to keep it.
A group of generals rushed into the city gate, immediately dispersed, and each led a group of men and horses to collect the Cao army in the city. Fortunately, Guo Jia reminded early enough, after attacking the city, the Cao army did not go deeper, and was still clearing the Zhu Ya army along the city wall.
Not long after, Cao Zhen and other generals gathered the Cao army in the city and relied on the advantages of the city wall to establish a defensive line. In accordance with Guo Jia's suggestion, the rear sent all kinds of siege props to the head of the city and reinforced them again.
In the blink of an eye, hours passed. Cao Jun was ordered not to move, but only deployed layers of defenses at the city gate, and Zhu Yajun didn't even see a shadow. There was an extremely strange scene in Chang'an City.
Seeing that it was about to be dusk, Cao Cao took Guo Jia and other civil and military forces into Chang'an City. Before entering the city, the other two city gates also came with good news, and they had already conquered the city gates, and they also sensed that Zhu Ya's army was vulnerable and seemed to be deceitful, and they did not dare to go deep into the city to complete the final blow.
The decision of the Xiahou brothers and the Cao Ren brothers made Cao Cao feel very pleased, knowing that the four generals had suffered a big loss under Lu Yao's hands, and he never dared to take it lightly.
If you are greedy for merit, you will really be able to get Lu Yao to succeed and break the game.
Since he was deprived of his luck and lost the hearts of the people, he has been desperate and has put the entire victory and defeat on Chang'an City. Victory, can sweep the world with a big victory, defeat, the heroic plan to dominate the horse will become a bubble.
Seek stability.
This is a decision he made immediately after being reminded by Guo Jia. Do not seek to destroy the withering and decaying, but only to win this significant battle smoothly and smoothly.
"Report, the South Gate Industry has been captured by General Cao Zhen and his army."
At this time, a junior school flew to report and let Cao Cao eat the last reassurance. Originally, the south gate was left unattacked in order to reduce the morale of the Zhuya army and avoid the possibility of mourning the soldiers. But now it's different, the four city gates are taken, and it is the time to encircle and annihilate Lu Yao.
"The order is that the three armies must not advance, and Lone would rather let go of King Zhuya than fall for his tricks."
Cao Cao pulled out his sword and pointed to the city. The whole army immediately shouted in unison, and slowly and steadily advanced into the city, fully carrying out his strict orders.
"I look at the life of King Zhuya, and I have never escaped from the battle, presumably this time King Zhuya is in a panic." Sima Yi took the opportunity to smile faintly beside him, and patted him on the back with neither high nor low.
Cao Cao laughed, glanced at Sima Yi approvingly, and pointed out the country with high spirits: "On the heroes of the world, only Gu and Zhu Ya are kings." King Zhuya is incomparably benevolent and righteous, and he is ashamed of himself. What Zhong Da said is extremely true, although King Zhuya is a stranger, he refuses to give up the generals to escape alone. ”
"King Wei, I might as well wait."
The group of civil and military officers smiled and praised in unison, which made Cao Cao energetic, and he didn't feel tired at all, just thinking about how to ridicule Lu Yao after capturing him alive.
At this time, the sound of earth-shattering shouts suddenly sounded in front of him, Cao Cao smiled slightly, shook his head and smiled at the city: "King Zhuya is really a great talent, he actually ambushed his troops in the city, and when he saw him when he was young, he must have three cups of drink with him." ”
All the civil and military forces smiled.
This time is different from the past, if it was just now, the Cao army that attacked the city was leaderless, and it was impossible to say that the Zhu Ya army would take advantage of the situation to fight back and drive the Cao army out of the city. But now that Cao Zhen and other generals are leading the soldiers and horses, how can they still miss.
Sure enough, the sound of fighting in the city soon subsided, and after a while, more than a dozen junior colonels came to report that Cao Zhen and other generals had annihilated the Zhuya ambush and were continuing to advance to the center.
After getting good news again, Cao Cao was in a good mood and looked up to the sky and laughed. Sima Yi twisted his beard and smiled, and lost no time in holding it: "Why is the lord laughing?" ”
Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Lonely Laughing Zhuya King Shaomou, if there is an ambush here to hide, won't we be able to capture it without restraining our hands?" ”
The crowd laughed.
The city gate has been bombarded into ruins by the previous dense stone projectiles, not to mention the ambush soldiers, not even a single dead civilian. However, at this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the ruins a hundred meters ahead.
"Zhu Ya Ma Chao is here, Cao thief is killed!"
