170. The tragic siege of the city is in life and death
"It takes the right time to play the music, and now that the war is complicated, it can't be quiet no matter what, he will wait for the war to stabilize, if Miss Wanqing comes to Nanjing as a guest, I will definitely dedicate the song." I arched my hand.
Mi Wanqing smiled: "Since that's the case, it's okay if you don't listen......"
She looked back at Mi Zhu: "Brother, General Xiongtu is a person who does great things, and the little woman wants a stable life, please take back her life, and my sister doesn't want to stay at home every day, looking forward to her husband's return." ”
Mi Zhu sighed: "Since my sister has realized this, then forget it, my Mi family is not blessed to be able to make friends with heroes like General Lin." ”
"Everyone has their own aspirations, but now that we are allies, there will be no shortage of opportunities for communication in the future." Tao Qian stroked his beard and smiled.
At this time, Tao Qian's herald came and said that the princes had gathered together and needed me and Tao Qian to go over, so I came to the main camp and saw that Cao Mengde was already sitting on the main seat.
Since Cao Mengde is commonplace, it is understandable to sit in this position.
As far as I know, this time the enemy sent out a total of two waves of legendary heroes, one of which was Xu Da, Xu Da came directly to me, I was lucky, I relied on Yue Fei's art of war to kill him, and I don't know who the other wave was, but Liu Miao was also killed by this legendary hero.
And these others seem to be just epic heroes, or a miscellaneous army, but a 10,000-strong enemy can bring out two legendary heroes at will, it is conceivable that since this person is ranked first among psychics, he must also have his ability.
Together with Cao Mengde, they didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.
Cao Mengde, like me, took the Hanchen road in the early stage, so that he could get a chance to dominate the world, while some other people, most of whom were hermits who wandered all over the world, seemed to prefer to kill the enemy, and the 10,000 enemies and Li Tianlong seemed to be bandits, or Yellow Turban thieves, relying on the troops left by Zhang Jiao to fight, which was also a good way.
I guess this 10,000-strong enemy should be wandering in various places, mainly on the task of sweeping, while sweeping, while finding and killing psychic, in this case, this person must know the details of the history of the Three Kingdoms very well, this is a terrible opponent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have also seen that the good Lord Liu Xuan is actually ...... We were killed by traitors, and now our situation is grim! Cao Mengde said, "We have to attack the city as soon as possible, in case the enemy still has reinforcements, won't it be difficult for us?" ”
"That...... Sikong, in fact, we can start the siege of the city, in case the enemy sends troops to shoot and sneak attack, we may not be able to retreat with our whole body. Liu Biao on the side said.
Yuan Shu sneered: "Isn't it just a group of rabble? How was the Yellow Turban Army vulnerable at the beginning, and this time it was the same if I chose to change the vest, brothers don't have to worry, when the time comes, we will unite and attack and kill together, and we may not be able to destroy them! ”
"If so, let's start the siege! Soldiers, you are fast! Tao Qian also posted his own comments.
Cao Mengde looked at me, and his sinister eyes swept over me: "What does Brother Xiongtu think? ”
"Attack!" I said one word.
The drums rumbled and the horns whimpered.
Nearly 200,000 allied troops besieged Jiangxia City and began to launch a tentative attack from all sides.
However, the defense of Jiangxia City was far tighter than I imagined, and for a while, all the people were soldiers, from the sixty-year-old Haoshou to the thirteen or fourteen-year-old drooping children, each carrying a useful guy to the four walls of Jiangxia City to assist the Yellow Turban Thieves in resisting the invasion of the coalition army.
In this way, the defensive force on Jiangxia City was completely sufficient, with 70,000 so-called miscellaneous soldiers, more than 12,000 captive officers and soldiers, plus 180,000 people who spontaneously came to assist in the defense, and the defensive force running back and forth on the wide city wall was close to 100,000, and there were 200,000 people in the city.
It also gives us a headache.
Attack it, for this city is full of people, and if it is a siege, the people will surely suffer.
Don't attack, be taken advantage of by that Cao thief, you must know that after Jiangxia captures, it is very important to me, one is to lay the situation in the Central Plains, and the other is to get the legendary upgrade order!
"Kill! Surrender under the command of the thief army, that is the thief army, no matter how killed! Cao Mengde shouted in front of the battle.
Tao Qian was busy: "Cao Sikong, don't do it, those are all the people of Jiangxia, and our strong attack will inevitably hurt the innocent!" ”
"This time I'm the commander-in-chief! By the order of the Son of Heaven! Cao Mengde said.
The people around him were speechless.
"Build a pontoon bridge and build a ladder. Siege the city with all your might! Be sure to break through the Jiangxia Gate before it gets dark! Cao Mengde shouted.
I took the lead, built siege towers with the army, stood on a high place, and controlled the whole situation.
In the distance, Ran Min hung the hooked halberd in his left hand on the saddle, and held a double-edged spear in his right hand.
He galloped back and forth on this side of the moat, loudly urging Sergeant Cao to wade across the moat, wanting to take the lead and launch the most ferocious attack on the head of the city with a ladder.
Although Ran Min is superior in force, he is not a brave and unscrupulous man, he understands the truth that the rafters that come out are rotten first, so the front is to let Yuan Shu go, let Yuan Shu's subordinates be cannon fodder first, and he will follow up slowly after eating a wave of arrow rain.
"Rush me, and those who retreat die!"
Seeing that a Cao soldier was cowering, Ran Min was furious, rode his horse forward, and cut horizontally with a double-edged spear in his hand.
The cold light flashed, and the soldier was immediately cut into two parts.
The corpse, broken in two, fell into the moat and became a river filler. Became a member of the floating corpses in the river, the red blood dyed the river black and red, which was shocking, and the pungent smell of blood made people smell sick.
Under Ran Min's supervision, the soldiers of Cao Jun did not dare to retreat, so they could only muster up courage. Stepping on a pontoon bridge or floating corpse in the water, holding a shield.
Braving the rain of arrows, they charged under Jiangxia City with difficulty, but Yuan Shu's men suffered heavy casualties.
"Kill!"
In the earth-shaking shouts of killing, the first group of more than 2,000 people who served as siege dead soldiers crossed the moat, and after nearly half of the dead and wounded, more than 1,000 people finally touched the foot of the city wall, and then shouted the trumpet to erect a ladder to the head of the city.
"Block me!"
At the head of the city, a full-clothed captain waved the sword in his hand, and hoarsely urged the soldiers and civilians to defend the city with all their might.
Five or six Cao soldiers climbed up one after another on the ladder nearest to the captain, just like the monkeys who had just climbed from the cave to the tree in the summer, each holding a shield and covering the arrows and rocks, and fighting for the first hand to climb the city.
"Get out of here!"
The lieutenant was furious, and brandished his sword to cut down the ladder, although the sawdust was flying, but it was impossible to cut down the ladder made of bamboo and wood in a short time.
Seeing that Cao Jun on the ladder climbed closer and higher, as long as he climbed up three or five more blocks, the first soldier could jump onto the city, and the captain was in a hurry, stood up from behind the female wall and struggled to lift the ladder backwards.
The ladder lost its support and suddenly tilted backwards with the sound of the wind.
"Wow......"
"Help......
Cao Jun on the ladder fell one after another, shouting indiscriminately, and luckily fell into the moat and picked up a life. The unlucky one fell six or seven feet, and the seven holes of the fall bled and died on the spot; What's even worse is that the soldiers who fell on the weapons and antlers were directly pierced through the corpses, and they couldn't even shout miserably!
"Haha...... Lao Tzu, see you climb again? Why don't you climb it? ”
Overturned the ladder in one breath, and Cao Jun on the ladder was miserable, and the captain suddenly laughed loudly, but a sharp arrow shot through the air.
Poof......
The powerful arrow pierced the captain's forehead at once, and the remaining momentum was inexhaustible, and even the bronze helmet on the captain's head was chiseled alive. Before the lieutenant could even snort, he planted down the city wall and became one of the dead corpses on the ground, pressing on the dense corpses of Cao's soldiers.
"Second dial, give me a follow-up!"
An arrow shot down the captain at the head of the city, Ran Min hung the iron-tired bow on his back, lifted the spear in front of the saddle again, and loudly ordered the siege of the city.
With Ran Min's order, the second group of more than 2,000 people, braving the rain of arrows, crossed the moat and launched a more ferocious attack on the Jiangxia city wall.
Yue Fei came to my side, looked at me and said, "Big brother, our siege towers are all ready, do you want to ......?"
