Chapter 679: Fighting for the Arsenal
When it comes to the experience of fighting wars, Jia Chong and the others combined, I am afraid that they are not as good as Sima Yi, from strategic deployment to tactical arrangement, Sima Yi has rich experience.
The opponent occupied a favorable terrain, and used crossbow arrows to block the streets that were not too wide, and the lack of shields was the biggest flaw, and the situation was very unfavorable to Sima's private army.
Others were worried, but Sima Yi was not in a hurry, and ordered the private army to tear down the door panels of the surrounding houses to use them as shields to resist the opponent's arrows.
When Jia Chong heard this, he suddenly realized that this was really a good way, and he immediately led the private army to rush into the houses on both sides, and without saying a word, he went door to door to dismantle the door panel.
The fighting on the side of the arsenal had already frightened the people nearby, and they did not dare to flee, so they had to hide in their homes, hoping that the war would end soon.
But I didn't expect a large group of black-clothed people to break in, I thought they were here to rob, but in the end I found that these black-clothed people were not interested in anything else, but they had a soft spot for the door panel, which couldn't help but make these people puzzled, but they were also secretly glad that the door panel was not worth much after all, as long as they didn't hurt people's lives and didn't loot property.
Soon, Sima's private army had collected a lot of door panels, which were made of thick wooden planks, which were perfect for resisting arrows.
Jia Chong followed Sima Yi's method and ordered the black-clothed dead man to rush forward against the door panel, because each door panel was wide and large, so under a door panel, several soldiers could be accommodated.
With this layer of defense, the advance speed of Sima's private army became very fast, although the crossbow arrows were the same dense, but most of the crossbow arrows were shot on the door panel, the thick door panel, no matter how sharp the crossbow arrows could not penetrate, Sima's private army quickly rushed under the high wall.
Although the high wall of the arsenal did not reach the height of the city wall, it was at least two or three zhang high, and the defenders closed the gate and stuck to the high wall.
Around the attack and defense of the high wall, the two sides launched a fierce battle, Sima private army occupied the advantage in numbers, but the arsenal defenders occupied a favorable position on the terrain, and the battle was very stalemate.
The appearance of this unexpected situation made Sima Yi's calm face also have a trace of anxiety, he may consider many problems in advance, but at least in the arsenal, Sima Yi thinks that it is the easiest to win.
But everything else went well, but the arsenal here was met with great resistance, although Sima Private Army attacked with all his might, but the opponent's defense was very tenacious, and Sima Yi could not see any hope of winning it in a short time.
What's worse is that after a long-day battle, Sima Yi hasn't figured out who the opponent is, could it be an ambush that Cao Shuang deliberately left before leaving? But it doesn't seem to be very similar, if it was really Cao Shuang who had already arranged it, then when they passed through Cao Shuang's mansion, the Cao Mansion soldiers would not easily connive at them to pass.
Who's going to be here to stop it? Sima Yi frowned slightly, no matter who it was, if he dared to go against the Sima family, he would definitely bring about his own destruction.
Just when Sima Yi was thinking about who had eaten the bear's heart and the leopard dared to oppose his Sima family, a familiar figure on the high wall came into Sima Yi's eyes, and Sima Yi's face suddenly turned pale, as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
Because what he saw was no one else, it was Cao Liang, an auxiliary general who had just become his Sima family's son-in-law.
Indeed, Sima Yi was not dizzy, and he was not mistaken, it was Cao Liang who commanded the battle on the high wall.
Cao Liang had already calculated the two major deployments after Sima Yi raised his army, that is, controlling the city gate and seizing the arsenal, so if he wanted to counterattack the Sima family, he had to carry out these two aspects.
The twelve city gates in Luoyang, if the Sima family wants to control them all-round, they must all be taken, all of them are indispensable, and what Cao Liang has to do is to open a gap and lure the cavalry camp into the city. However, there has been no movement on the side of the Xiaocai camp now, so Cao Liang's side can only stand still for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.
But the arsenal can't wait, Cao Liang knows the importance of the arsenal to the Sima family, and they are anxiously waiting for this batch of weapons and armor to arm their private soldiers, so the arsenal will become Sima Yi's primary target.
In order to curb the mutiny of the Sima family, Cao Liang would definitely spare no effort to block the attack of the Sima army, so he would rush to the arsenal first.
The time when Cao Liang rushed to the arsenal was when Cao Shuang left the city, and at that time, the attention of the whole city was focused on the Son of Heaven, and Cao Liang adopted the method of breaking the whole into parts, marching in disguise, and successfully smuggled under the noses of the guards in Cao Shuang's mansion and arrived at the arsenal.
originally thought that entering the arsenal would require a battle or even a battle, but what Cao Liang didn't expect was that he had just arrived at the door of the arsenal, and the arsenal ordered Fang Ren and the arsenal to be greeted by Yang Ze, who was very enthusiastic about Cao Liang.
This really caught Cao Liang off guard, these two people were too enthusiastic, they came with their troops fully armed, they didn't have any defense, which made Cao Liang feel very abnormal.
Sure enough, Cao Liang casually said a few words to them, and then he got the truth, originally Fang Ren and Yang Ze got an order from above, asking them to cooperate in taking over the arsenal, and Cao Liang's arrival made them mistakenly think that Cao Liang was sent by Sima Yi, so they would not have any defense.
After all, the marriage between Cao Liang and the Sima family spread throughout Luoyang, and since Cao Liang had the relationship of the son-in-law of the Sima family, Fang Ren and Yang Ze were really defenseless, and they naturally thought that he was sent by Sima Yi.
Cao Liang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, Sima Yi's hand was really stretched out, and even the people in the arsenal had already been bought by him, no wonder when Sima Yi mutiny in history, he took the arsenal without much effort, so that's the case.
So Cao Liang remained silent, and after all the more than 100 people he brought were in place, Cao Liang suddenly launched an attack and took down Fang Ren and Yang Ze in one fell swoop, leaving Fang Ren and Yang Ze completely confused.
This Sima family's fast son-in-law, how can he say that he will turn his face? They are already very cooperative with the Sima family, the first time Cao Liang arrived at the arsenal, they had already opened the door and handed over the command of the entire arsenal to him, but which one did they sing as a result?
