Chapter 518: The ice breaks through the city, and the wind rises in Xuzhou
Xuzhou Zang Ba raised troops and counted Cao Pi's crimes.
The most important thing is to usurp the Han and force the emperor Liu Xie and the empress Cao Jie to death.
I am afraid that Cao Pi will not be able to clear up this charge by jumping into the Yellow River.
Zang Ba's movements have long been seen by Cheng Yu, and the two sides will soon face each other.
However, Zang Ba always kept a careful mind, he did not contribute to the work, and waited for the result of the battle of Fancheng.
If Liu Mang wins, then he will be the hero of the rear to contain Cheng Yu, and it will not be too late to invite credit when the time comes.
If Cao Pi wins, then Zang Ba can claim that this is all a misunderstanding.
He was all misled by Liu Mang before, but now that he has lost his way, he believes that he has a large number of Wei emperors, and he will definitely not worry about him.
Zang Ba's small abacus played loudly, and Cheng Yu on the opposite side was also not bad.
"My lord, is it too dangerous for you to leave only 2,000 people to confront Zang Ba?"
"Two thousand? If it weren't for show, the old man would rather keep two! ”
Cheng Yu sneered: "The result of the battle of Fancheng is enough to affect Zang Ba!" ”
"Before Your Majesty and Liu Mang have not yet decided the winner, Zang Ba will never dare to do anything to us."
Everyone's eyes were full of respect, but Cheng Yu only nodded slightly, Zang Ba was not a good opponent for him.
"I really want to compete with Liu Mang, see if this old bone works!"
Cheng Yu chuckled, but unfortunately Cao Pi wouldn't give him this chance!
……
In Fancheng, heavy snow is falling, and it is already the fifth day.
Cao Pi would send people to taunt the Han army every day, after all, they had built catapults, but now there were no stones to use.
As for the dirt and gravel, these things were thrown at the city wall and did not damage the walls in the slightest.
It's just that today, Cao Pi found that something was wrong!
The Han army has made more than ten stone trucks these days, and they are advancing towards Fancheng!
Liu Mang came on horseback, surrounded by Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and other fierce generals.
Zhu Rong was in southern Xinjiang, he had never seen such bitter cold, and he was so cold that he was the first fierce general in Nanzhong, hiding in the barracks and not daring to go out.
Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping have always been by Liu Mang's side, and they almost captured Xu Huang before, so that they were praised by Liu Mang.
As for Yu Ban, who was captured before, the prince was very busy and didn't have time to pay attention to him at all.
Yu Ban can only stay in the Han army's prison all the time, and the most uncomfortable thing is that Cao Pi also completely forgot about him!
"Liu Changqing, are you poor in donkey skills?"
"Catapults are indeed a siege weapon, but what do you use to siege cities?"
"I'm standing here and watching how you break through Fancheng!"
Liu Mang was already holding the order flag at this time, and directly ignored Cao Pi's clamour.
Soon, Han Jun will tell Cao Pi what a fucking surprise is!
"Cao Pi! I'm fucking telling you, what a fucking surprise is! ”
The place that Liu Manglingqi is pointing to is the city tower where Cao Pi is located, and the catapult is coming in an instant!
Cao Pi saw clearly that a huge ice block was coming at him!
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Xu Chu held a big knife in his hand and smashed open the incoming ice cube and saved Cao Pi's life in time!
This...... Terrible!
Cao Pi's heart palpitated, and he remembered that the weather was freezing and Liu Mang had many ways to take ice!
"Hurry up and let the soldiers defend the city!"
Cao Pi shouted and ordered his subordinates to come to help.
Originally, if Cao Pi had been more cautious, he could have hung wet cowhide on the city wall to block the attack of catapults.
It's a pity that today's Fancheng, like a disheveled woman, is waiting for the patronage of the Han army.
Rumble!
The ice stone slammed under the city wall, and cracks appeared!
Cao Pi was terrified, but there were too many offensives of the Han army, and God knows how many ice cubes Liu Mang had accumulated these days!
The huge ice block, filled with the anger of the Han army, smashed towards Fancheng in unison.
Many unlucky soldiers were hit by ice cubes, some of them were seriously injured on the spot and fell into a coma, and some of them died directly!
The Wei army, which was still mocking the Han army a few days ago, is now all reduced to the ghosts under the ice!
"Your Majesty! Oh no, Your Majesty! ”
"Lord Cheng Yu said that Liu Mang will use ice cubes to attack the city!"
The messenger rushed day and night, but he was still one step late, and Cao Pi roared angrily: "Can't Lao Tzu see it now? Liu Mang has already attacked the city! ”
No matter how Cao Pi beat and scolded, he was incompetent and angry, but the blessing and misfortune were not alone, and he soon got the news of Zang Ba's rebellion!
"What? Zang Ba is reversed! ”
Hearing this, Cao Pi was even more at a loss.
The place where Zang Ba is located is equivalent to a country within a country, if there is a rebellion here, it is still unknown whether Sun Quan can cooperate with him!
"! Liu Mang! He's all doing it! ”
Cao Pi scolded angrily, and then quickly lowered his head to avoid being hit by a catapult!
"Attack! Give me offense! ”
"Smash it hard, smash it to death Cao Pi, the turtle grandson!"
"Avenge Your Majesty!"
Without Liu Mang's mobilization, his soldiers fought bravely, and the catapults continued to bombard the city, and the Han army would vent its anger for several days.
The siege lasted until the evening, and Liu Mang ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but Fancheng was already silent at this time.
Cao Pi only then realized that the trench outside the city was used to prevent them from destroying catapults.
The heavy snow, coupled with the freezing weather, was originally unfavorable to the besieging side, but after the catapult was activated, it completely became an advantage to restrain the defenders!
"Zhongda, what's the best plan now?"
Cao Pi's eyes were red at this time, and he looked directly at Sima Yi.
"Your Majesty, our army can repair the city at night!"
"Follow the example of Emperor Wu of the day to build a city with ice to resist Liu Mang!"
"After all, it's freezing outside, presumably Liu Mang won't last long!"
Soon, the fragrance of the outside of the city permeated the tower.
In order to show that he was advancing and retreating with the soldiers, Cao Pi always stayed on the castle tower.
At this time, the tempting fragrance made Cao Pi can't help but stop and watch.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, but you see that the Han army is holding several cauldrons.
Put the fresh mutton in the pot and soak it for a while, and then dip it in the sesame sauce and feast it.
Due to the weather, it was difficult for Xiangyang to transport grain to Fancheng, and Cao Pi did not eat well these days.
Originally, during the war, there should not be any appetite.
But I'm afraid that people are more than others, and I'm angry!
The Han army went up to Liu Mang, the prince of the world, and down to the ordinary pawns, all of them gathered around their respective cauldrons to shabu shabu, and they ate so fragrantly!
"Bastard, shoot them with arrows!"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, our bows and arrows can't shoot that far!"
Sima Yi also swallowed his saliva, as the so-called people take food as the sky, they are also greedy!
For the soldiers defending the city, the more the Han army ate, the more torture it was for them!
Sometimes, when you eat meat and others look at it, it is also a kind of kindness.
It's a pity that the Han army didn't care at all, and didn't forget to mock Cao Pi when they feasted.
"Wei thief Cao Pi! See this piece of meat? ”
"I won't give it to you if I throw it away, hahaha!"
"Wei thief Cao Pi, as long as you surrender, Lao Tzu will reward you with a bite of meat to eat!"
Liu Mang looked at Cao Pi with a smile, how can Sima Yi break the situation now?
