Thank you for the tip from the pudding elite son! Thanks to the helpless instant noodle boy for a monthly ticket! Thank you for the two monthly tickets voted by Qiu Feng Han Gongzi! You're really amazing!!
"Yes!"
Guo Jia promised, and then replied: "At present, there are a total of 253 catapults transported to the barracks, all of which are light catapults, and there are also hundreds of repeater ballistae and heavy crossbows!" Heavy equipment such as heavy catapults, movable arrow towers and flying towers are still on their way here. ”
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?" ”
"It's going to take about five days!"
Cao Cao nodded, and then raised his voice and called, "Zhang Ming! ”
"The last general!" Partial general Zhang Ming was listed as promised.
"I order you to immediately lead your soldiers to the woods next to you to cut wood!"
"The last will be ordered!"
Cao Cao called again: "Ordnance officer! ”
In Cao Cao's army, there were not only grain officers who were responsible for grain and grass, but also ordnance officers who were in charge of heavy ordnance, and the responsibility of the ordnance officer was to be responsible for transporting heavy ordnance and organizing craftsmen in the local area to rush to make all kinds of heavy ordnance needed to make military armor.
"You immediately urge the craftsmen in the army to hurry up the production of siege equipment such as ladders and storming vehicles!"
The ancient siege equipment production process is simple, so it can generally be made nearby, but there are some special equipment that cannot be made nearby, such as the Wei army's latest development of heavy catapults, charging chariots and crossbow vehicles and other equipment, these equipment because of the special materials used in some of the parts, so they can not be made on the battlefield.
The ordnance officer clenched his fists in response and retreated into the ranks.
Cao Cao moved his gaze to Xiahou Yuan's body on the right. He asked, "Miaocai, how is your situation there?" ”
Xiahou Yuan came out and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty." A total of 50,000 troops will be stationed in the North Camp! In addition, Zilong sent a partial general to personally lead 5,000 cavalry to escort a small part of the siege equipment."
Cao Cao smiled and nodded. He told Xiahou Yuan: "Prepare for the siege when you go back!" Once you're ready to siege the city, wait for the order, and don't act on your own! ”
"The last will understand! Your Majesty, rest assured! Xiahou Yuan hugged his fists with a grin.
Cao Cao smiled, glanced at the generals, and raised his voice: "The battle of Changsha is of great importance to our military!" Generals must be cautious and not careless against the enemy! ”
"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.
Cao Cao nodded, thought for a moment, and said to the generals: "If there is nothing to do, the generals will go back to the camp to make preparations!" The generals agreed. Exited the big account one after another.
Cao Cao got up and walked in front of Xiahou Yuan, who grinned and said, "Your Majesty! ”
Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and asked with concern: "Miaocai, you have been fighting outside for the past few years, but you feel hard?" ”
Xiahou Yuan slapped his chest loudly, and said proudly: "The last general doesn't feel hard!" The last general thinks that men should live like this! ”
Cao Cao laughed sympathetically, and then with a whole expression, he advised: "Miaocai, this time the battle of Changsha is very important. You can't be as big as you used to be! ”
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he smoothed his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the last general will never be like this!" ”
Cao Cao smiled. punched Xiahou Yuan in the chest, shook his head and said, "You!! ”
The Wei army was actively preparing for the siege, and wood was constantly being transported from the woods next to the barracks to the barracks. A corner of the barracks was busy, with tens of thousands of sergeants and craftsmen rushing to make all sorts of siege equipment. Cavalry and infantry drilled military formations outside the barracks, and the murderous atmosphere was pressing.
In Changsha City, there was an atmosphere of slaughter. 150,000 Jing Han troops were on guard at the four gates, and there were patrols patrolling the city from time to time, everyone's strings were tightened, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of the city.
The people are hiding in their homes, their hearts are uneasy, some people are cursing the Wei army in their hearts, of course, there are also some people who are eager for the Wei army to annihilate the Jing Han army as soon as possible, the more interesting point is that many of the people who are eager for the Wei army are actually the scholar class who used to regard Cao Cao as an enemy, in fact, this is not surprising, during this period of time, the scholar class in Jingzhou has really taken off more than one layer of skin in the hands of Liu Qi or Zhuge Liang.
Liu Qi stood on the north gate tower, looking at the camp stretching not far away, frowning.
"Your Majesty, why didn't the Wei army attack the city for two days in a row?" A middle-level general asked puzzled.
Liu Qi soothed his brows and said, "They are not fully prepared yet!" He then pointed to the team that sent wood to the army
He continued: "They are still rushing to make siege equipment at the moment! ”
The general nodded suddenly, and at this time, Huang Zhong on the side asked puzzledly: "Xiahou Yuan had already rushed to Changsou City two days ago, and when Cao Cao led his army to arrive, he had already transported thousands of siege equipment, which was enough to support the needs of a strong attack for many days!" Why did Cao Cao do more? ”
Liu Qi smiled and explained with emotion: "Because Cao Cao attaches too much importance to us!" He's going to get everything ready, and then he's going to give us a dignified blow, like a fatal blow from Tarzan! ”
Huang Zhong nodded thoughtfully, but the general just now, who was defeated and returned from defeat, snorted coldly: "Hmph! I'm afraid he doesn't have such a good mouth! ”
Liu Qi laughed and said, "Chen Jianjun is right! Just let Wei Jun come! We are not the Dong Zhuo of the past, let alone Yuan Shao! ”
Hearing Liu Qi say this, the generals couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed.
Another day passed. Early in the morning, the thunderous war drums suddenly sounded outside the city, accompanied by the neat footsteps, the people in Changsha City couldn't help but feel nervous, at this moment, whether they hoped or did not hope for the victory of the Wei army, they couldn't help but feel that their lives seemed to be the pitiful drops under the scorching sun.
"Father!"
A beautiful girl couldn't help but hold her father's palm tightly, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a thick melancholy, and her weak and pitiful appearance was very exciting, the father sighed secretly, held his daughter's slender hand and comforted softly, but he was thinking in his heart: 'I don't know what kind of person Emperor Wei is?' I wonder if he will also be like some damned Han army generals who have bad intentions towards Feng'er? ’
The Wei army launched a strong attack on the west, south and north sides at the same time, in the whining roar, the fire oil canisters poured down to the city like drops, and then a group of terrifying flames rose one after another, the soldiers of the Jing Han army wailed in the flames, and from time to time the soldiers of the Jing Han army jumped down from the city tower.
At the same time, 60,000 Wei assault troops advanced to the city wall from the west, south, and north at the same time. (To be continued......)
