Chapter 346: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (15)
West of Puyang City.
Zhuang Shaoyou rode on his horse, wielding his long sword vigorously, and each blow could take the life of a coalition soldier. Fortunately, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword is a Taoist treasure, otherwise if it had been replaced with an ordinary long sword or saber, it would have been dull and could no longer be used.
After Zhuang Shaoyou stabbed a chief to death with a sword, he couldn't help but admire: This "Five Fowl Play" is really magical! I've only been practicing for more than half a year, and the small stock is so good! In the past, after slashing and killing more than 30 people, he would definitely start to exhaust himself, but now he feels as if he has inexhaustible strength, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes!
Looking back, I found that there was no one within three feet of me!
The soldiers of the coalition army have been frightened away by this killing god, and without the coalition army, the soldiers of Zhuang Shaoyou's army naturally don't have to stay here, and even those soldiers who are responsible for protecting Zhuang Shaoyou feel that there is no need to protect their generals! It's too violent, it's like people blocking and killing, and gods blocking and killing gods!
As for the cold arrows that the main general was most worried about on the battlefield, they did not exist, not to mention that the allied crossbowmen were already scarce, and the only ones who were crossbowmen had long been suppressed by the four ballista battalions and could not find the north! Even if a few survived, they would have already shot out of the reserves of quiver sacs, and they would have picked up a weapon and come up for hand-to-hand combat!
Now both armies are red-eyed, except for hand-to-hand combat, it is still hand-to-hand combat! Even the three ballista battalions were sent forward by Tian Feng to join the battle formation after losing their tactical suppression effect! Only the Firebolt Battalion was left still striking at the coalition flank. And the crossbowmen in the battle formation have already released all the arrows on their bodies, and they also pulled out their waist knives and stepped forward to cut people!
In the battlefield west of the city, Yuan Shao invested nearly 50,000 men and horses, and Zhuang Shaoyou also had more than 20,000 people. Previously, the two armies used the tactics of refueling, and after a long time of fighting, more than 20,000 soldiers on both sides have been killed!
Jizhou Mu Hanfu stood on the command car, looking at the tragic battlefield, his heart ached. When Yuan Shao attacked Puyang last year, he lost tens of thousands of Han Fu's horses, and after this battle, the loss is even greater than last time! The elite of Yecheng is lost! The military advisor took refuge in Yuan Shao, the general Pan Feng was stabbed to death by Lu Bu, and Zhang He was still on the battlefield, it seems that eighty percent of them will be enveloped by Yuan Shao! Yecheng is worried!
Yuan Shao's face was also gloomy, but Wei Xian, the head of the Hedong Wei family, looked as usual, as if he didn't care about the life or death of his 10,000 horses.
Frustrated and licked his dry lips, he couldn't help but step forward and admonish: "Alliance leader, if it goes on like this, it's a lose-lose situation!" ”
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "What if both losers?" This force is Zhuang Shaoyou's main force, as long as these 20,000 people are destroyed, Puyang is at your fingertips! If you don't die, you will suffer endlessly! The leader of this alliance must make Zhuang Shaoyou unable to turn over forever this time! ”
Looking at Yuan Shaosenran's appearance, he closed his mouth in frustration, while Guo Tu was surprisingly not sarcastic. Although Guo Tu is a villain, he is also a smart villain, and he knows that it is best not to make trouble at this time.
In the battle situation, Zhuang Shaogu's army had a slight advantage, so even if he had the intention to retreat, he couldn't do it at all, so he could only continue to fight with the coalition army, while Yuan Shao was determined to eliminate the main force of Zhuang Shaogu's army at all costs.
Tian Feng opened his closed eyes and completed a long test, and then immediately ordered: "Someone!" Send someone to transport the ballista back to the city! The fire and crossbow battalion stopped firing and retreated to the city to stand by! ”
Although the captain of the fire crossbow battalion was a little puzzled, he no longer hesitated when he looked at the few arrows left, and immediately ordered to retreat.
Tian Feng's order is the result of careful consideration, and at present, the two armies have done their best, and it depends on who can't bear it first! The retreat of the ballista to the city is for long-term consideration, this battle, their own side is at a disadvantage, it is very likely to be defeated, if it is at that time, these four hundred ballista will definitely not be able to take care of, once Yuan Shao can go, the consequences are unimaginable! The retreat of the fire crossbow battalion is to prepare for the retreat later, and the fire crossbow battalion can slightly suppress the pursuers of the coalition army.
After giving the order, Tian Feng rode his horse and ran tremblingly towards the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Tian Feng immediately rushed to the east of the city non-stop, according to the scout report, the east of the city coalition army is the most fierce, the situation is the most critical, in case the east gate is broken, it is a situation from which there is no return! Therefore, after careful consideration, Tian Feng decided that he would keep Puyang no matter what, even if the west of the city was defeated, that is, some people and horses would be lost, as long as the city was there, there would still be room to turn around!
A quarter of an hour later, when Tian Feng arrived in the east of the city rubbing his aching legs, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him!
I saw that the city gate cave was densely filled with huge objects, some of them resisted the city gate, and some of them purely played a blocking role, and the people who were busy with all this were the people of the city, and they could only vaguely see a few infantry in armor, the largest number of which was one!
On the four stone stairs leading to the city tower, they are crowded with shirtless strong men, and stones are relayed from below, sending them to the city in a steady stream!
The boulders used to pave the road on the ground near the city wall have long been re-excavated, and then smashed by several strong men with giant hammers, and then sent to the city!
Tian Feng saw a black and white clearing near the city wall, sprinkled with fragments of debris. Tian Feng was very puzzled, he had the impression that there should be a house in these places, but where did the house go now?
Looking around, Tian Feng finally found the answer, only to see thousands of people desperately smashing the courtyard wall there, occasionally a few women and old people were a little unbearable to cry, it was estimated that it was his own house that was being demolished, but he was persuaded by the neighbors next to him.
The stones and wood dismantled from various houses were loaded into carts by the strong men, and quickly pushed to the stone stairs of the city wall, and then they were sent up.
Tian Feng, who has always been smart and wise, was also a little stupid, and he forgot the purpose of his coming here for a while.
After a long time, Tian Fengcai rubbed the corners of his eyes that were a little warm, and couldn't help but sigh: "Those who have attained the Tao are more helpful, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" The people's hearts are back, and the rise and fall change! ”
After sighing, Tian Feng stopped speaking, turned his horse's head, and headed towards the west of the city, this battle has been won!
At the head of the city, Li Cheng commanded the ballista to destroy all kinds of siege equipment that threatened the city wall, and the more than a dozen well rails and rushing carts of the coalition army were quickly reimbursed, and they could not get close to the city wall within 100 steps.
Chun Yuqiong looked at the fallen well railings, hated the root of his teeth, and could only desperately urge his subordinates to hurry up and set up more ladders, and then climb the ladders to the city.
Those people did not need to command at all, they only had to carry out an order, which was to carry stones and wood from the basket behind them, walk to the base of the wall, and then throw them down to the crowded places. At first, the crowd was curious to admire their work, but then they ignored it and continued to move the stones without looking back.
People kept falling down the ladder, screaming one after another. The three-foot-high city wall gradually became shorter, because a thick layer had been piled up under the wall, and there were corpses, stones, and wood, mixed together, and a blur of flesh and blood. Thick blood gushed outward from the cracks in the stone.
As time passed, more and more coalition soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and the battle situation gradually became unfavorable.
Seeing this, Li Cheng was very anxious, his eyes rolled, and he shouted: "Is there any oil for kerose?" ”
With this roar, Li Cheng's question was passed to the city by the strong man on the stone staircase, and the people below moved one after another, ran home one by one, and took out the fire oil stored at home, and even the oil in the oil lamp was poured to nothing! Under Qiao Mao's personal operation, the wealthy merchants of the city opened the warehouse painfully and donated all the lamp oil in reserve.
Qiao Mao couldn't help but sarcastically mock them: "Look at your virtue, you are just paying some fire oil now, if the city is broken, you will not even have your life!" ”
Those rich merchants suddenly woke up to the fact that the battle was so tragic that the losses on both sides were huge. If the city is destroyed, it will definitely be slaughtered according to the custom! Those wealthy businessmen were suddenly frightened, gritted their teeth, and sent out all the family members, and after scraping together, they actually made up a new force of more than 3,000 people!
Qiao Mao was overjoyed, and couldn't put it down and stroked a sturdy housekeeper, who retracted and said, "Adult, the small one is not good for this mouthful!" The little ones would rather go to the city and work hard! ”
Qiao Mao was annoyed and ashamed, but he finally reluctantly held on, and hurriedly sent this new force to Dongcheng to support.
A quarter of an hour later, a fierce hand-to-hand battle had already started on the city, and Chun Yuqiong, who was in charge of the command, was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly gathered the rear team to speed up the city to support!
At this moment, 3,000 soldiers came to the city and began to climb the city quickly, and the morale of the defenders at the head of the city was greatly boosted, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy, and drove the allied soldiers who came to the city to the city alive, and the battle situation stabilized again.
At this time, barrels of fire oil were sent up, Li Cheng was overjoyed when he saw this, and roared and ordered: "Hurry up, pour the fire oil on the ladder, quickly!" Sprinkle evenly! ”
Up and down the city, all the square meters smelled a pungent smell, Chun Yuqiong was shocked when he saw this, and ordered: "Hurry up!" Withdraw it! ”
Li Cheng admired the panicked coalition forces under the city, and smiled: "Ignition!" ”
"Thorn ~ stab!"
A raging fire instantly ignited in the west of the city, and the cloud ladder and the cloud ladder were lit, followed by countless screams resounding in the sky! Countless burned coalition soldiers fell to the ground, wallowing and struggling desperately, but to no avail, and then gradually fell silent.
The wind fueled the fire, and puffs of smoke rose up, mixed with the scorching smell of burning corpses, which stimulated the defenders of the city in a trance, and the east of Puyang City was completely shrouded in smoke. Li Cheng, who was still very proud before, was shocked, but he barely collected his mind and shouted:
"It's all there! Gentlemen, take off your clothes, take your guys out, and pee on the old man! Then cover your nose with your clothes! ”
The soldiers around Li Cheng did not hesitate to begin to carry out the order, and this phenomenon quickly spread, everyone took off, what else are we embarrassed about?
As a result, a strange scene was staged in the east of Puyang City, where tens of thousands of strong men began to undress, take off their pants, and dig out their guys in public, and then urinated collectively!
The people of the city, who were watching nervously at the head of the city, were in an uproar, not understanding what was going on, and the women were so ashamed that they quickly turned their heads away, not forgetting to cover the eyes of the curious children. But in my heart, I secretly recalled the scene of Fang Cai, who was bigger, who was smaller, and how it was better than my own man......
Another gust of wind blew, and Li Cheng was choked with tears by the smell of the wind, coughed a few times and shouted: "Minzhuang go down to the city!" Don't mess around, don't crowd! ”
A moment later, thousands of people and families at the head of the city rushed to the city as if they had fled, and Li Cheng then shouted: "Three brigades and one battalion follow me into the city tower, and the rest of the people will also go down to the city!" Hurry up! ”
