Chapter 477: The General's Siege Battle
Li Feng finally found Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun was already dead.
When he found the man, Zhang Xun had already been carried to the city by the soldiers.
Zhang Xun was lying on a tattered door, his body was densely embedded with thistles and stones, and his whole body was almost beaten into a hornet's nest.
After inquiry, Li Feng learned that Zhang Xun had just been hit by a crockpot.
"You're a little too lucky." Li Feng stretched out his hand and smoothed Zhang Xun's eyes, which were still open, collected his emotions, and said to the captains standing at the door, "General Zhang died in battle, I will take over your troops and horses, do you have any opinions?"
The captains with sad faces clenched their fists in unison, "Meet the general!"
"What's going on?!" Liang Gang suddenly broke in.
After he returned from the withdrawal of troops from Western Hubei, he was arranged by Zhang Xun to guard the west of the city.
Just now, he heard that the mountain in the east of the city was cracking, and the sound shook the sky, so he hurriedly sent scouts to investigate.
But the scout didn't figure out anything, but learned that Zhang Xun had died in battle.
Li Feng turned sideways and let Liang Gang look at Zhang Xun's torn body, and then said, "The imperial court used a full twelve trebuchets, but what was thrown into the city was not ordinary stones, but clay pots that could be exploded, and these things were contained in them."
"What's that?" How can a crockpot burst? And kill people?" Liang Gang shouted in disbelief.
Li Feng spread his hands and said quietly, "I don't know what it is, but it's true that it is extremely lethal. In order to deal with the trebuchets of the imperial court, we have a door panel in front to support it, and a shield array to protect it in the back. But just such a small broken crockpot can blow a huge hole in the door panel, and the wood chips that break out are sharp weapons for killing."
"And that explosion was so loud that it could knock people's ears out at once. I couldn't hear anything until now, and I couldn't hear anything at all."
Liang Gang burst into a foul mouth, and said in an uneasy manner: "This is still a fart, surrender!"
"I can't vote, if I could, I wouldn't have any hesitation now." Li Feng walked out sideways from Liang Gang's side, "There is no movement on the city, the imperial army is about to enter the city, I will go to the imperial guard, you ...... It depends."
"If you're ready to surrender, please send someone to inform me!"
Liang Gang looked at Zhang Xun's corpse with an ugly face, and said in a muffled voice, "I know, I will definitely tell you!"
Li Feng returned to the top of the city and immediately ordered people to repair the smashed and dilapidated city walls, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and arrange for the soldiers to be guarded in echelons.
At this time, Cai Mao and Huang Zu's soldiers and horses happened to arrive at the city, preparing to set up a cloud ladder to ascend the city.
The two of them gave up attacking the gates, and prepared to attack directly from the city.
Li Feng leaned over and looked under the city wall, and ordered, "Put on the fire oil and gold juice!"
Huang Zu also saw the crowd at the head of the city, he held the short knife in his mouth, personally rushed forward to help the soldiers put a long ladder on the city wall, and took the opportunity to roar, "Hurry up, hurry!"
After shouting this voice, he picked up the short knife again, took the lead, and rushed forward with both hands and feet.
Seeing this, the soldiers under his command suddenly moved a lot faster.
In the distance, Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, saw this scene, and his brows couldn't help frowning, "A great opportunity, but I gave it up before my eyes, these two people are difficult to use."
When the cannon battles were blown up, there was almost no soldier visible on the walls.
But Cai Mao and Huang Zu just gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the city, and lectured the soldiers before the battle.
Now that the training is over, the enemy has re-armed.
Such a big advantage was given up by these two people.
Cao Cao couldn't help but want to rush forward and kick these two things to death when he saw this scene.
"Is Meng De optimistic about them?" Liu Wei heard this sentence with the tip of his ear.
Cao Cao bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers look down on them, it's really their battle
It's like being blind, and the minister is anxious."
"Don't worry, just take your time." Liu Wei smiled lightly and said, "Cai Mao and Huang Zu are Liu Biao's henchmen. To be able to have Liu Biao's heart, it is expected that he should have some ability."
Despite the euphemism of the emperor's words, Cao Cao was still very unfavorable.
A glimpse of the whole leopard, how can a general who can't even catch the fighter plane in front of him be a good general?
But Cai Mao and Huang Zu seem to be really ruthless this time.
The two of them charged forward in person, not even using their shields, so they climbed the long ladder with a short knife in their mouths and their hands and feet.
But unsurprisingly, there were accidents.
The two of them were more than halfway through the crawl before they were thrown down from the ladder by the thrown stones.
Fortunately, people did not die.
Cai Mao got scared from the muddy ground, looked up at the city head of the city where gold juice and oil and rolling stones and sassalwoods took turns, and shouted, "Shield!"
"Shield!"
A soldier stared at the shield and rushed forward with a hunched waist and handed his shield to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao grinned and twisted her waist twice, so painful that the expression on her face was distorted.
I broke my waist and my ribs seemed to be broken one or two.
But he didn't care about his injuries at the moment, but raised his shield in his left hand and climbed the long ladder with a short knife in his mouth again.
"Achievement is at this moment, what are you waiting for!" Cai Mao roared as she climbed up.
When Cai Mao crawled more than halfway through, Huang Zu also woke up from the mud of the golden juice.
He hit his head, a large cut on his forehead, and blood flowed profusely.
He shook his drowsy brain, struggled, carefully dodging the rolling stones and oil flying down from the walls, and returned to his own position.
"Someone, bandage me!"
Huang Zu commanded, his eyes were fixed on Cai Mao, who was ascending the city, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
When there are two wastes, it is not very obvious that he is a waste.
But if Cai Mao fights for the first credit in the city, then he is the only waste.
Coincidentally, the soldiers under his command in the first round of siege were forced to withdraw after more than half of them were killed and wounded.
Huang Zu saw that Cai Mao's side was still fighting bravely to ascend the city, and his side was all defeated, and suddenly he was angry, he shouted several captains under his command and reprimanded sharply: "We can't compare to the elite soldiers of the West Garden, and we have been left behind by Cai Mao, do you have a face?"
"If you don't have an inch of success in this battle, you don't want to live if I die!"
Several lieutenants were sprayed with dog blood, and they lowered their heads and said nothing.
The soldiers did not dare to attack the city again, and when they rolled back, they could not do anything to stop it.
"Reorganize your forces, take the city, and put up all the ladders!" Huang Zu shouted.
"Whoa!"
The second round of siege on Huang Zu's side began.
This time, Huang Zu, who was still bandaging his brain, did not go up in person.
The siege had just begun, and Cai Mao fell from the ladder again, with an arrow stuck in his shoulder.
He lay on the ground for a long time, snorted a few times, and stood up again.
This time, even Liu Wei was shocked.
Cai Mao's life is probably Xiaoqiang, and he fell from such a high ladder twice in a row, but he didn't die.
Just when Liu Wei thought that Cai Mao should not go to the city in person this time.
Cai Mao actually cut off the arrow piercing his shoulder with a knife, and then limped up the ladder again.
Cao Cao also said, "Your Majesty, although Cai Mao is not a good general, this blood and courage is worthy of appreciation!"
It is indeed commendable for a general to take such a sharp edge.
"The potential of people is endless, and Cai Mao probably realized her mistake." Liu Wei said lightly
Road.
Cai Mao: This is completely the courage that he forced out!
