Volume 1: Xu Du Fengyun Chapter 61: Discussing Yuan (9)

Let's say that in Huainan County, Yuan's army suffered heavy casualties, and each person only got a bowl of porridge and a piece of rice crackers as hard as a rock when the meal was served, and they could be chewed and swallowed after soaking in the hot porridge. One by one, they were sluggish and their morale was low. Seeing this, Liu Xun was furious and said, "Call the commander of the Huotou Army." After a while, a fat-headed and big-eared soldier ran to Liu Xun in sweat, and the latter was disgusted when he saw his appearance, and said coldly: "Let me ask you, the brothers have been fighting for a day, why don't you prepare some meat to distribute?" ”

Natun Chang broke out in a cold sweat and said softly: "General, it's not that his subordinates are unwilling, it's really the prince's order." Liu Xun's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "What did our prince tell you?" ”

Looking at Liu Xun's gloomy appearance, Commander Liu swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said softly: "The prince has an order, these stinky hills are not worthy of eating meat, and it is enough to share some clear soup with little water." Liu Xun was furious when he heard this, "Dog thief! Liu Xun scolded angrily, causing all the soldiers who were eating in the city to look sideways, and they didn't know why Liu Xun was angry. The commander was so frightened that he wiped his sweat, Liu Xun glared at a pair of tiger eyes, and said slowly: "I order you to quickly prepare meat to distribute to the brothers, if he blames you, let him come to me." ”

How dare the commander of the soldiers, he said yes again and again, and ran down to prepare, Liu Xunqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, "How can Dazhong last long if he does this?" If it weren't for his wife and children, Lao Tzu would have killed that dog with a halberd before he went to Cao Gong! Liu Xun thought in his heart.

Not long after, a firehead soldier came over with meat, smelling the smell of meat, and the soldiers of Yuan Jun were full of words and salivating, "Brothers, eat openly, if it is not enough to talk to me, I will arrange for them to do it!" ”

Everyone cheered, and the sound disturbed Yuan Yao, who was delicacies from the mountains and seas, only to see that he was wearing gold armor, pressing his sword, and scolding: "What are you bastards making a lot of?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Liu Xun sneering at him, which made Yuan Yao's heart tremble, and he saw Liu Xun say loudly: "We want to thank the prince, it is His Royal Highness the Prince, knowing that it is not easy for the soldiers to defend it, so we ordered the Huotou Army to arrange sufficient meals for everyone, and everyone said that we should not thank His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Prince Chitose!"

"Prince Chitose!"

"Prince Chitose!"

The shouts of the mountains came and went, making Yuan Yao's face a little pale, although Yuan Yao was a little dizzy, but he still knew some measure, if there were people with bad intentions at this time, he climbed high and shouted, saying that the hungry Yuan Jun would gather from the crowd, although Liu Xun's move was suspected of driving ducks to the shelves and demonstrating, but he did not plan for Yuan Yao, and for Huainan County, it was considered that Liu Xun had relieved the siege, although he scolded Liu Xun angrily in his heart, but he still had to show his love on his face, and he came out violently and went back in disgrace.

Liu Xun couldn't help but cry in his heart, Dazhong's demise was just around the corner!

Two days later, Cao Ren ordered another army and gathered in array

Cao Ang slept for a whole day to recuperate, lined up on Cao Ren's side, and the main cadre was injured a lot, so only Cao Ang went out with Cao Ren this time. Cao Ren, Wang Ping, Le Jin and Liu Guanzhang.

Cao Ren Ke lifted his sword and shouted, "Beat the drum, the whole army will attack!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! A dense and dull drum beat sounded. The sound of war drums was earth-shattering, and every formation of Cao's army rushed towards the city like a black frenzy, replenished with ample rest and provisions, and the soldiers advanced extremely quickly.

Hundreds of siege ladders are all used in today's siege battles, and on average, dozens of people can be assigned to use one siege ladder.

Lejin shouted, "Archers ready!" ”

In the rear of the charging formation, thousands of soldiers stretched out their bows and arrows, and stood by with the leading bows of the horses, and thousands of people formed several arrow strike ranges, and with the charging of the front army, the archer troops followed behind and advanced steadily and orderly. The atmosphere of the war broke out suddenly, enveloping the entire Huainan city, the soldiers of the Yuan army felt a strong pressure, their teeth were clenched, their eyes were grim, some of the Yuan soldiers were obviously nervous, sweat in the palms of their hands, and many people trembled with their legs.

Liu Xun shouted to the soldiers of the Yuan army, "Brothers, don't panic and be afraid, your house and family are behind you, they need your protection, if you want the house not to be burned down, your property and your wife and daughter not to be robbed, and your parents not to be killed, you must muster up the courage and fight the enemy!" ”

Liu Xun's words hit the hearts of every Yuan army soldier, like a thunderbolt, which woke many people up from ignorance, and a strong sense of responsibility barely overcame the fear in their hearts, and they gradually mustered up their courage, no longer intimidated by the atmosphere of war, and quietly straightened their waists.

The army under the city is getting closer and closer, and the defenders at the head of the city can already clearly see their hideous faces, like countless demons running out of hell, rushing towards the city wall with their bloody mouths open, to harvest their lives.

"Listen to me, release the arrow!" Liu Xun waved his sword and shouted.

The soldiers of the Cao army killed within a hundred steps, and the soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of the city released arrows at the same time, and the arrows rained down like raindrops above the heads of the Cao soldiers, and the powerful arrows 'whoosh!' Sou! Shooting into the crowd, the wails rang out, and the soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

"Urging the drums of war!" Cao Ren ordered to swing his sword and shout.

"Knock"

"Knock"

"Knock"

The war drums of Cao's army became heavy and powerful, on the one hand, to motivate their own soldiers to fight, and on the other hand, to warn their soldiers that those who dared to retreat would not be killed.

In the strong drums, the soldiers of the Cao army had to brave the rain of arrows overhead, no time to take care of the wailing of their companions, rushed forward like a tide, and finally killed under the city wall, hundreds of siege cities have set up the city, the soldiers are like wolves and tigers to the city head to kill, their own archers also arrived at the best archery location, have opened their bows and arrows, a wave of arrow rain from the bottom to the top of the Huainan city, a large number of arrows have been to the end, accompanied by a bad smell, Liu Xun found that the arrows of the Cao army soldiers are on the cluster, for the gold juice dipped in water. Vicious.

Gold juice is boiling dung water, mixed with poison, and then dipped in the arrow cluster, after being shot by the gold juice arrow, there are many bacteria, so this is not a cure in ancient times.

At the same time that Cao Ren's army was attacking the main gate, another Cao army composed of 10,000 people appeared at the west gate of Huainan County under the leadership of Le Jin, and Cao's army divided into two routes and began to attack.

The siege of Huainan was still in full swing, and compared with the first fierce battle, today's battle was even more bloody and cruel.

"Kill"

Several Yuan soldiers roared, struggling to push the head of the ladder, the siege ladder on the head of the city gradually left the city head, tilted outward, more than a dozen Cao soldiers on the ladder screamed loudly, followed by the siege ladder and fell down, pressed down by the heavy ladder, most of these siege ladders were crudely made, most of them were damaged after heavy falls, and could no longer be used.

But even so. In one morning, nearly half of the hundreds of siege ladders were overturned by the Yuan soldiers at the head of the city, and the casualties of Cao Ren's army were really not small.

Yuan Jun raised the big stone in his hand, aiming at the soldiers who were no longer on the ladder, but directly smashed into the ramp of the siege ladder, as the rungs broke, the boulder wrapped in broken wood and continued to smash downward, and the soldiers below could not dodge, they were hit by the boulder, screaming and rolling down the city.

But even so, the defending army was still struggling to defend. At the same time, Simon's attack also quietly kicked off.

Nearly 100 Cao soldiers slowly stepped forward with extremely thick battering rams, and more than 100 soldiers on each side held high shields to protect the siege soldiers, like a huge hundred-legged insect, crawling in the wilderness outside the west gate.

In order to protect this siege hammer team from being attacked by boulder arrows, Le Jin ordered a thousand archers to be dispatched to them, and the arrows dipped in gold juice flew out again, and even more on the arrow clusters were stained with fire oil, and the burning gold juice arrow clusters shot towards the city head like a storm, without worrying about the safety of the feet, but the threat came from the top of the head, and there were Yuan soldiers above the city gate who kept falling to the ground with arrows. The wailing was out of breath in a moment, and there was no need to say too much about the power of such arrows.

At this time, Wang Fang also came to the top of the West City Gate, and he expected that he had thoroughly understood Cao Ren's two-way attack, and concluded that the other party did not have much confidence in attacking the North City Gate.

I don't know if the Xicheng battering ram can succeed has become the key to this battle.

The Cao soldiers quickened their attack, they got closer and closer to the city, and a group of archers began to draw their bows and arrows, and they began to run, and they ran to the city and fired arrows at the city head, and the crackling wolf teeth and arrows were shot on the battlements, or flew over the city and landed in the city.

The screams on the head of the city came and went, Wang Fang braved the rain of arrows to command his bow and crossbow to retract at the same time at the mouth of the battlement, and shot at the siege of the 'hundred-legged insect' together, "put" the powerful crossbow arrow shot through the wooden shield and leather armor, the centipede resounded a miserable scream, and then there was a stone rolling wood to help smash the Cao army below, and the outer shield-raising defense soldiers fell down in large swaths, it was a worm that was stripped of its shell, and the huge battering ram and a hundred soldiers were immediately exposed to the sun, and also exposed to the crossbow arrows of the Yuan army.

Le Jin was so angry that he scolded, "Bastard, bastard!" Where are the archers? Where are the crossbowmen? Counteroffensive cover, hurry up, hurry! Wang Fang stretched out his bow and aimed at the city's commanding Le Jin, who was scolding, "Noise! ”。“ Chirp", the arrow shot out, straight to the Lejin, the latter instinctively whirring the wind, looked up, only to see an arrow shooting, want to dodge is too late, "Ahhh

Wang Fang smiled coldly, and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Looking closely, a wolf's tooth arrow broke through the wind, and Wang Fang quickly flashed his head sideways. But he was still cut by the arrow on his neck, "Noise! He heard Cao Ang shouting loudly under the city.

Wang Fang covered Bo Bo's bleeding neck, and pointed at Cao Ang tremblingly: "Shoot him for me!" ”
