Chapter 167: The War Begins
Chapter 167: At War
Early the next morning, Yuan Shao opened his eyes groggily, and heard the sound of stones hitting the city wall, Yuan Shao laughed secretly in his heart, this Cao Cao is really stupid, he spent manpower and material resources to toss so much for a night, and there was not a single stone that hurt the Jizhou soldiers.
At this moment, Cao Cao looked at the city wall of Jizhou in the Chinese army, and the stones had exceeded more than half of the height of the city wall, and it was almost an hour before the attack could begin.
Cao Cao was secretly happy in his heart, even if Tian Feng saw his style of play now, it was too late, the overall situation had been decided, Cao Cao happily turned around and returned to his big tent.
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng sleeping soundly, it seems that Tian Feng is really tired, and it is time to let Tian Feng rest, Yuan Shao thought in his heart, if it weren't for Tian Feng, now I, Yuan Shao, am going to send someone to the fence, it is really a poor family to see filial piety, and the country is broken to see loyal ministers!
The city guard looked out of the city on Jizhou City, there were too many stones on the ground, Luo can Luo Luo came out of the mountain, at this moment the city guard felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see anything, but he just felt that this approach was either extremely stupid, or there was something wonderful!
At this moment, the city defender became more and more worried, and finally couldn't help but run to the attic to meet Yuan Shao.
Entering the attic, Yuan Shao said to the city guard: "What is the movement of Cao Jun?"
The defender replied: "I still use catapults to smash the city walls, but the general is a little worried."
"Why?"
The city guard said: "The last general is also familiar with the art of war, but I have never seen such a way of fighting in a book, if it is not stupid, then it is an ulterior motive, and the drunkard's intention is not to drink, lord!" ”
The conversation between the two woke Tian Feng up, and Tian Feng opened his eyes and got up to see that Yuan Shao had woken up, and the city guard was kneeling down to reply. Tian Feng asked: "What drunkard doesn't mean to drink?"
Said the city official said: "The last general thinks that Cao Jun's approach should have ulterior motives!" ”
Tian Feng's eyes immediately flashed cloudy, and he looked at the city guard brightly and said, "Take me to see"
Tian Feng and Yuan Shao followed the city guard to the city wall, looked out, the city in front of them was all stones, and it had already reached the city wall, suddenly a small stone flew and hit Tian Feng's body, Tian Feng fell to the ground with a bang, Yuan Shao ran to Tian Feng's side in a panic at the moment, and was just about to help Tian Feng up, Tian Feng turned around on the ground and said: "Lord, I'm fine, I'm just hit by a stone in the chest, I can't die"
Tian Feng endured the pain and looked at the stones of the catapult and said, "Lord, look, Cao Jun's catapult should have moved forward twenty steps, and now it is throwing small stones here."
Tian Feng saw countless small stones and began to throw them again, Tian Feng shouted, the lord was careful, after hearing it, they all squatted down, a burst of stones bigger than a fist flew over his head, Tian Feng squatted on the ground with a gloomy face, and then said to Yuan Shao with a little tears: "Lord, it's over, we are gone."
Yuan Shao said: "Why did Tian Feng say this? ”
Tian Feng said: "Lord, Cao Jun is not smashing our city wall, but paving the way for his own army, the stones outside are already the same height as our city wall, and now throw small stones on it, in order to walk better, not to be potholed and difficult to walk."
Yuan Shao suddenly realized when he heard this, and said angrily: "Cao Agui, traitor"
Tian Feng acquiesced in his heart that he had been defeated, because then the archers covered and the light soldiers rushed to kill, the 200,000 troops in our city were all new recruits at all, and they couldn't stop the army of Cao's army that had been fighting for many years, and now it was difficult to escape, not only the 200,000 troops besieged the city, but all the intersections may have been fortified.
The general trend has gone, and we can only die in Jizhou City.
Yuan Shao said to Tian Feng: "How should we meet the enemy?"
Tian Feng said regretfully: "It's over, our advantage is gone, and the width of the city wall is limited, the garrison can't hide at all, we have lost our advantage, and we are new soldiers, there is no possibility of winning at all."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao said: "Then our 200,000 troops have a chance of breaking through."
Yuan Shao said: "Since Cao Cao has come, there must be an ambush at the ferry where we retreated, and it is impossible for us to escape at all, not to mention that Cao Cao's territory is all around, if we flee in the direction of Xuzhou, there will definitely be heavy troops waiting for us."
Yuan Shao said: "Then we can't wait for death here."
Yuan Shao grabbed Tian Feng, pulled Tian Feng down the city tower, and said to the 20,000 soldiers under the city: "Prepare to meet the enemy"
After a long time, Tian Feng came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Shao holding his arm and walking, Tian Feng said: "Lord, we should now gather Yan Liangwen's 200,000 army, and then flee from Jizhou from one click."
Yuan Shao was relieved when he heard Tian Feng's speech, let go of his hand and looked at Tian Feng and said, How can we break through, if the 200,000 army comes out of the city gate, it will take too long, and there is no possibility of breaking through at all!
Tian Feng said: "Lord, we can break through the siege by Cao Jun's road."
"What?"
Tian Feng said again: "Lord, I mean, we can let the army from the city wall, when the Cao army rushes to kill, we can kill directly along the road of the Cao army, and gather 200,000 troops to rush over, so that the Cao army will definitely be in chaos, and we can also break through from the front, Cao Cao will definitely not expect that we will break through from the front, and take him by surprise."
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Okay, after taking us out, where should we escape?"
Tian Feng said: "After we broke out of the encirclement of Cao's army, we let the soldiers flee to the southeast mountain range, and when we entered the mountain, we fled along the mountain range to Xuzhou."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao shouted directly: "Someone, pass on my order, gather Yan Liangwen's ugly army to wait at the main gate"
Tian Feng said: "Lord, let all the soldiers each bring hardware and rice, be fast, after we escape, we must let the soldiers have something to eat, and we will have no food at all."
Yuan Shao instructed Tian Feng what he said.
Cao Cao looked at it almost, the stones were piled up on a small stone on the road, there should be no problem to step on it, Cao Cao ordered, the archers prepared, tens of thousands of archers stepped forward, pulled the bow and prepared, Cao Cao shouted: "Attack"
The archers drew their bows and began to shoot arrows, while the light cavalry and assault infantry began to attack, and the defenders of the city shouted, defense, arrows are coming!
All the soldiers took up their shields to defend, and after a rain of arrows, the defenders shouted: "The enemy has attacked, meet the enemy"
Bursts of arrows flew and met the enemy, and then Yan Liangwen Chou arrived in front of the main gate, Tian Feng said: "We broke through the siege, and we want to break out of the encirclement of the Cao army in a battle, and if we fail to fight, we will not be able to escape."
The soldiers of Cao's army have already climbed the stone pile, but the stone is really a little unstable, and the horses are stepping on it, and many of them have fallen, and the defender of the city ordered to start firing arrows, and the cavalry and the infantry front army fell one by one!
The cavalry was fast, some of the cavalry had already begun to engage Jizhou in the city, Cao Cao shouted: "The army rushes and kills"
