Chapter 597: Siege (Ask for Subscription)
Seeing Hua Xiong's weakness, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Alliance? Joke, Ben Hou was ordered to take charge of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, although you belong to the Han family, it is difficult to change the name of the traitor, if you open the city gate to join Ben Hou, there may be a way to live. ”
Hua Xiong's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Since this is the case, Ben Hou will see how Cao Jun can break through the Liang State." "As a number of fierce generals, Hua Xiong is also arrogant, if the soldiers and horses outside the city are replaced by the state army, maybe he will consider surrendering, and Cao Cao was defeated in his hands, and when he pursued Dong Zhuo, he was almost killed by the army.
"Benhou guards the Liang State Department and the Pei State Department, and is also under the order of the Holy Lord, Shanyang Hou attacks the Benhou City, so he is not afraid of the Holy Lord's rebuke?" Hua Xiong still didn't want to start a war with Cao Jun like this, so he reminded him.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Huaxiong Xiao'er, if you invade the city under the rule of Benhou for no reason, even if the Holy Lord sends someone to come, it will be difficult to save you." ”
"Cao Cao, have you forgotten what happened outside Xingyang City?" Hua Xiong shot back unceremoniously.
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Ben Hou is not here to take advantage of your tongue!" After the city is broken, you will be killed! ”
Hua Xiong led the cavalry to charge for a while, returned to the city, and held the city, while Cao's army also returned to the camp.
The next day, Cao Cao gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses in the east of the city, Yuzhou was under the rule of Cao Cao, the well was prepared before the army went out of the city, fifty well guards were only lower than the city wall, lined up in the east of the city, extremely spectacular.
The first thing that appeared in Hua Xiong's field of vision were unknown things, which seemed a little strange to Hua Xiong.
"Could it be that Cao Jun wants to attack the city with this object?" Hua Xiong wondered.
The lieutenant general is also puzzled, when attacking the city, the most harmful to the defenders is the well, once the archers on the wells completely suppress the defenders, then the defenders will become extremely uncomfortable, not only to face the threat of archers, but also to deal with the siege of the soldiers.
"Tell the archers to guard against the enemy troops on the well, and when Cao's army approaches, let them taste the power of the wood and rolling stones." Hua Xiong said coldly, occupying the advantage of the city, the weather is cold, he doesn't believe that Cao Jun can break through the Liang State Department,
Although the princes have detailed works in Bingzhou, but there is not much news about these detailed investigations, Huaxiong has just entered Yuzhou, what kind of sharp weapons are there among the princes, he is also black-eyed.
"Lord, as expected by his subordinates, Hua Xiong didn't know that our army had a thunderbolt car, so he might as well wait for the thunderbolt car to approach, and suddenly attack, and then the army covered up, and the war was decided." Cheng Yu said.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Huaxiong doesn't know the height of the sky, and he was deceived by Liu Bei'er, and he even wanted to form an alliance with Ben Hou, which is really ridiculous." ”
"My lord, Hua Xiong is a famous fierce general, maybe he can be used by our army." Cheng Yu said.
"If Hua Xiong understands the overall situation and takes refuge in Benhou, it is easy to say, otherwise there will only be one way to defeat." Cao Cao snorted coldly.
Cheng Yu saw this and did not persuade again, among the strategists in Yanzhou, Cao Cao's opinion on drama is the most important, and now that Xi Ce is dead, no one dares to advise Cao Cao at this time, Xun Yu has a high prestige among officials, and more often stays in the rear.
When the thunderbolt came to a halt about one hundred and thirty paces away from the city wall, the defenders of the city waited for the Cao army to approach, and when they saw that the Cao army stopped an arrow away, the defenders were puzzled.
Hua Xiong stared at Cao Jun outside the city with blazing eyes, only to see a strange thing controlled by more than a dozen soldiers, and actually threw a stone of twenty catties over, looking around, there were at least a hundred such things outside the city, and for a while, the entire city was covered with whistling stones.
Many of the defenders had seen such a scene for the first time, and only the defenders had the advantage of the boulders, and when they became the targets of the boulders, and these boulders were so powerful that just a glance at them made people feel terrified, and as for the shield soldiers who tried to resist the boulders, they could only die.
After the thunderbolt attack, the city wall was full of mourning, the thunderbolt was not very lethal, but the bloody scene was stimulating the hearts of every defender.
"Get out of the way!" Hua Xiong shouted hysterically, but his reminder seemed so weak on the miserable city walls.
Some of the defenders, unable to withstand the pressure from the thunderbolts, turned around and headed for the city, more of them were selected from among the refugees, and even after months of training, they still chose to flee in the face of bloody scenes.
"Those who dare to retreat will be killed!" Hua Xiong roared.
The adjutant general led a team of men, but whenever he saw a fleeing soldier, he went up with a knife, and the bloody suppression made many soldiers who wanted to escape from the city wall gradually extinguish the desire to escape.
Hua Xiong glanced at the city wall, and keenly saw that behind the female wall, it was a place that was difficult for the thunderbolt to attack, and many soldiers were hiding behind the female wall and shivering.
"Hide behind the women's wall." Hua Xiong ordered.
This is also the first time that Cao Jun has used a Thunderbolt, and he does not know much about the defects of the Thunderbolt, but seeing the boulders rising into the air and hearing the wails of the defenders made them feel extremely comfortable, and the ladder soldiers and Jing Yan soldiers behind the Thunderbolt also waited patiently.
The ladder soldiers were the least popular, because during the siege, they were the first to step forward to send them to death, and the defenders were very sensitive to the initial attack, and if they moved a little slower, they would be crushed to death by the wooden rolling stones on the city, but after having the thunderbolt, they found that the defenders in the city did not dare to raise their heads at all, so that even if they carried the ladder close to the city wall, they would not worry about the wooden rolling stones on the city.
The soldiers of the well are generally working at high altitudes, and the defenders compete in archery, and their tasks are also more dangerous, because the defenders generally do not let such people run rampant, and the initial bows and arrows are also beckoning to them, as for the cowhide hanging on the well guard, more often it does not play a big role.
With the suppression of the thunderbolt car, the defenders did not dare to show their heads at all, Cao Cao gave an order, and the well was slowly moving towards the city wall, the thunderbolt was a deterrent, and the archers on the well were the greatest to shoot the enemy.
Just after all the well is in place, the war drums of the Cao army become dense, the cloud ladder soldiers who are waiting for the battle, launched a death charge towards the city wall, and the archers on the well are also taking bows and arrows, which is also Cao Cao's way of fighting with the state army, this kind of attack, in Cao Cao's view, is very morale-boosting, after the storm of boulder attacks, the defenders must be afraid, and at this time, the surprise attack on the city wall can play a good effect.
When Hua Xiong heard the drum beat of the Cao army change, and the boulder attack seemed to stop, he shouted: "Prepare for battle, the Cao army is going to attack the city." ”
