Chapter 25: The Battle of Shouchun
A few months later, Cheng Lun was promoted to level 25, and Cao Cao, together with Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Lü Bu, prepared to destroy Yuan Shu first. So he called Cheng Lun to go on the expedition again, but this time it was to attack Yuan Shu.
"What the is going on! I saw what Lu Bu said, and I just saved Yuan Shu and am going to kill him again, this world is too complicated, as a new human in the 21st century, I don't understand what these people's brain circuits are going on. Cheng Lun's heart has always been dark, it was really Cheng Lun's miserable last time, first said that he betrayed Cao Cao, and then came back and continued to take refuge in Cao Cao?
Cao Cao raised 170,000 troops to attack Yuan Shu, Xiahoudun as the vanguard and Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui fought with Shouchun Boundary, less than three rounds Qiao Rui was stabbed to death by Xiahou Dun, and Yuan Shu's army was defeated. At the same time, Sun Ce sent ships to attack the west, Lü Bu to attack the east, and Liu Bei to attack the south. Yuan Shuliu Li Feng, Le Zhuo, Liang Gang, and Chen Ji divided 100,000 troops and adhered to Shouchun.
Cao Cao had a large number of soldiers, huge food consumption, and in the event of a drought, food consumption was about to run out. borrowed 100,000 yuan from Sun Ce, but it was still not enough.
"Lord, our army has more soldiers and less food, what should we do?" Wang Yuan, a subordinate of the grain officer, reported to Cao Cao.
"You can eat a little less at a time per person to solve a momentary emergency. ”
"What should we do if the soldiers complain that it may cause a mutiny?"
Cao Cao: "I have my own countermeasures, you just do it." "Wang Yuan received the order, cook less grain, and add more water. Cao Cao asked people to secretly investigate, and found that all the soldiers complained about eating little, and they were about to mutiny.
Cao Cao asked Wang Yuan to come: "I want to borrow something from you to suppress the morale of the army, please don't be stingy." Cheng Lun was shocked when he heard this, and Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and stopped talking.
Wang Yuan: "I don't know what the prime minister wants to borrow from me?"
Cao Cao: "I want to borrow your head to show the public to reassure the army." ”
Wang Gao was shocked: "Prime Minister, I am not guilty!"
Cao Cao: "I also know that you are not guilty, but if you don't kill you, you will definitely mutiny, after you die, I will raise your wife, you don't have to worry." Wang Yuan knelt on the ground and his whole body was paralyzed, and Cao Cao beckoned the knife and axe hand to push out the door and behead the public.
"Let's go!" Cao Cao watched Wang Yuan being beheaded in the account, and lightly clenched his fists.
Soon after, Cao Cao made a list to reveal: "Wang Yuan stole official food and has been dealt with in accordance with military law." The soldiers suddenly realized that it was this man who had stolen the official rations and starved them, and they scolded one after another, but the complaints were significantly reduced, and the mutiny crisis was resolved.
The next day, Cao Cao summoned all the generals and gave a death order, if the city could not be broken within three days, all of them would be killed. Cao Cao went to the city to personally supervise, but found that two people were afraid to move forward and killed directly, and then Cao Cao personally dismounted to pick up the soil and fill the pit. Soldiers of all sizes moved forward one after another, and the military prestige was greatly boosted.
Cheng Lun looked at such a scene, and his blood was also surging, and he stepped on the ladder and began to climb up.
"Bang!" Cheng Lun was smashed down by a boulder.
"Damn! This hero is really not so easy to be. Cheng Lun was reluctant to use the blood stone, and secretly used the calming skill to calm down the qi and blood. A few minutes later, Cheng Lun was fine, so he prepared to go to the city wall again.
This time Cheng Lun was extra careful, and when he saw a boulder on his head, he used his sword to pull it away, and saw that Cheng Lun was about to climb the city wall, when a soldier on the other side overturned Cheng Lun's ladder with a spear.
"Nima, do you want to be embarrassed, how can you play like this, brother remembers you!" Cheng Lun glared at the soldier fiercely, the other party was not intimidated, and glared back fiercely, Cheng Lun was furious, no matter what was still falling, he clamped the ladder with his legs, and concentrated on summoning thunder and lightning.
"Lightning Falling Technique!" I saw a bolt of lightning fall from the sky, and the soldiers on the opposite side were chopped to death before they could react. The other soldiers who saw it were stunned, how could it be that the weather was so good that it suddenly thundered. However, the battlefield was chaotic, and before they had time to think about it, they joined the battlefield again.
"Let you pretend to be forced, let you overturn my ladder, ah!!" Cheng Lun fell to the ground, his internal organs were shocked and he vomited a mouthful of blood, this time he didn't dare to be careless, and quickly used a bloodstone, Cheng Lun was distressed, he was not cheap to pretend to be, 4000 ingots were gone.
After a few minutes, Cheng Lun recovered again, and Cao Cao was very relieved to see that Cheng Lun rushed up again after only a short rest every time he was injured, and decided to treat Cheng Lun well in the future.
Cheng Lun climbed the mountain ladder again, this time he was more careful, he fell too badly last time, and he was still concerned. Cheng Lun used his novice sword to remove the wooden blocks and boulders that he had thrown, and slowly climbed up, seeing that he was finally about to reach the top, at this time a soldier began to use his spear to pick up Cheng Lun's ladder.
"it!, no!" Cheng Lun was furious in his heart, quietly looked at him and no one paid attention to him, and activated the teleportation function of the novice sword.
"Huh!" Cheng Lun came to the city wall, and the soldier who was picking Cheng Lun's ladder was stunned, why did this person disappear all of a sudden. At this time, he felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and the soldier looked back and was frightened, isn't this the one on the ladder just now.
Cheng Lun smiled at him, then lifted his legs and threw him down.
"Let you also taste the taste of falling!" Cheng Lun took revenge, and his heart was very happy, and only then did the other soldiers react and raise their weapons to kill Cheng Lun.
"Sweep!" A large group of soldiers on the right were knocked into the air, along with a number of other soldiers.
"Fight cattle across the mountain!" Cheng Lun punched to the left again, and suddenly a group of people were knocked away.
"Why did Cheng Lun go up in the blink of an eye! Good opportunity!" Cao Cao saw Cheng Lun climbing up just now, but Cheng Lun arrived on the city wall in just a few seconds, how could Cao Cao let go of such a good opportunity, yelling for people to rush up. The soldiers scrambled to climb up, because there was Cheng Lun on the city wall, more and more soldiers climbed up, Cheng Lun roared and ran back and forth on the city wall, and gradually Cao Cao Fang took the advantage.
Yuan Shufang couldn't resist it, Cao Cao made people open the city gate again, a large number of soldiers rushed in, and Yuan Shufang was defeated. Li Feng, Chen Ji, Le Zhuo, and Liang Gang were captured alive and beheaded.
The property in Shouchun City was swept away by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was hesitating whether to continue to pursue Yuan Shu, when a soldier came to report: "Zhang Xiu took refuge in Liu Biao and rebelled again, General Cao Hong couldn't resist it, and lost several battles in a row, so he came to report the emergency." ”
Cao Cao had no choice but to return to Xudu first, and after returning to talk about meritorious deeds, he gave Cheng Lun a pair of gold chain mail, all made of yellow scarves, which was very majestic, which was also regarded as Cao Cao's wooing of Cheng Lun, after all, Cao Cao was not friendly to Cheng Lun before.
Cheng Lun happily put on the golden chain mail, and he was really majestic, and he finally looked like a general. However, it is a pity that this armor looks good-looking, but there is no attribute bonus, and Cheng Lun secretly despises that it is not as easy to use as a wooden equipment by himself, and it can only be defined as a vase.
