Chapter 984: Striking the West (2)
"Open the gates! We are the army of General Sheep Rush! A man shouted from under the city gates.
General Yang Tusu is the leading general of the cavalry stationed in the bitter vegetable forest.
The gate officer responded, and immediately ordered his men to open the gate. "Wait!"
The officer, who happened to be here, stopped the officer, and the officer saluted and reported: "General, here is General Yang Tusu!" ”
Tokhtabuhua glanced under the city gate. Although there is moonlight, it is not clear to see any specific situation.
The warning in his heart couldn't help but be stronger, according to the time, this cavalry of the sheep rush should have arrived half an hour ago.
"Is there anything wrong with the general?" Puzzled asked.
Totobuhua frowned, looked at it for a moment and didn't see anything wrong, maybe he was really too worried!
"Let the sheep come out and speak quickly!" Takeoff does not take any hope.
The officer immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Please come out and speak!" ”
There was silence below.
"That's not right! Archers ready! Tokhovi ordered in a hurry.
At this moment, "General be careful! With a sudden roar, she threw Totobuka to the ground, and almost at the same time Totobuhua heard the screech of arrows piercing the air.
Immediately, only a whistling sound was heard, and then dozens of golden **** soldiers who were close to the wall were shot to the ground.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows!! ”
The archers of the Jin Kingdom finally responded and hurriedly released arrows below, several cavalrymen fell from their horses with arrows, and then only heard a shout from below, and then more than 10,000 cavalry turned their horses' heads and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Totobuhua stood up, patted the dust on his body, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order the four gates to be strictly guarded!" Let the generals come to the hall to discuss matters! ”
Two quarters of an hour later, more than ten miles south of the city.
"I was about to succeed, but I was inexplicably recognized!" Ma Chao said with a look of annoyance.
Cao Cao didn't care and smiled: "It doesn't take this person to be resourceful, and it's not surprising that he can see through this little plan!" ”
Fa Zhengdao, who was on the side with the army: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, let's put on a dignified and upright posture!" ”
Cao Cao nodded: "The order will go down, and the Xuanjia Iron Horse will go out on guard." The 1st Army and the garrison of the Protectorate arrived at the South Gate and set up camp, the 2nd Army set up camp outside the West Gate, and the 3rd Army set up camp outside the East Gate. ”
"No!" The generals agreed in unison.
Half an hour later, the sentries on the city wall saw through the moonlight a scene like a sea tide, and an oppressive momentum rushed towards them.
The sentry was taken aback: "Immortal God!!" He quickly picked up the drum and beat it vigorously.
"Knock knock!" The drums, which represent emergencies, stand out in the night.
Toto, who was arranging tasks in the conference hall, stood up and ran out of the conference hall, and the generals looked at each other and immediately followed.
Tokhoff frowned and hurried towards the south gate, and the generals immediately followed.
A moment later, everyone came to the south gate and couldn't help but be stunned, and the enemy army was faintly visible in the moonlight.
"Your Excellency the General, what is this?" General Kasro looked shocked.
Totobuhua frowned and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we are all blinded, the Wei army has no intention of sending troops to intervene in Guishuang at all, their real purpose is us!" They're going to take the Wolf Mountain Fortress! ”
At that moment, a scout officer hurried to Totobuka.
"General, a large army of the Wei army has appeared outside Xicheng and Dongcheng!"
"How many are there?"
"At least 100,000!"
The generals couldn't help but sink their hearts, the Wei army outside the southern city had at least 150,000 people, which means that the total strength of the Wei army reached 350,000 people! And it is clear that these armies are the elite divisions of the Wei army!
Tokhtobuhua and all the soldiers of the Golden Army of the Wolf Mountain Fortress were destined to spend a sleepless night.
The next day, the Wei army did not attack the Wolf Mountain Fortress, for a fortress like Wolf Mountain, which was already heavily guarded, a hasty attack would only cause unnecessary losses to its own side, so what the Wei army had to do now was to rest.
Tokhtarbuhua climbed the fortress wall and looked at the camp that stretched for miles outside the city, and his heart was heavy.
"Has the message to His Majesty been sent?" Totobuhua asked.
Hu Liyan replied: "It's been sent!" Three batches were sent out separately just in case! ”
Totobu nodded, "Very good!" ”
Tokhtarbuhua led the guards to patrol the city wall, and to Tokhtobuhua's relief, the morale of the soldiers was very good, and there was nothing he was worried about.
The day passed peacefully, but Tokhtobuhua and all the soldiers of the Kingdom knew that the real war was imminent.
The sun rose again in the east, the golden sunlight reflected a dazzling light on the remaining snow line, and the gates of the three large battalions of the Wei army were opened almost simultaneously, and the earth-shaking war drums rang out.
The Wei army surged out of the camp gate like a flood that opened the floodgates, but it looked very orderly, only the neat footsteps that made the earth tremble and the sonorous sound of the collision of the armor, there was no noise, the momentum was vigorous, and the fighting spirit was high, worthy of the iron army of the Great Wei Empire!
At the same time, the Jin army on the city wall was also moving in an orderly manner, sword and shield men, archers, and pikemen rushed to all parts of the city wall under the command of the generals, and wood, stones, and boiling oil were constantly transported to the front of the city wall, and catapults and bed crossbows were pushed to the firing positions on the city wall.
The first, second and third legions of the Wei army were outside the south city, outside the west city, and outside the east city to open battle formations, Cao Cao's imperial flag was located under the Chinese army outside the south city, and more than 500 catapults were at the forefront of the military array, these catapults were all heavy catapults, that is, the so-called medieval black technology torque heavy catapults, the body of the catapults was heavy, but the power was also extremely huge, but the catapults of the Jin people were not inferior, but they were far inferior to the Wei army in terms of number and range.
After all, the Jin people's catapult is modeled after the earliest catapult that has been eliminated by the Wei State, and it is very good if it does not disintegrate!
"Your Majesty, the armies are ready!" Zhang Liao hit the horse and reported to the Chinese military marshal.
Cao Cao glanced at the tall city wall in the distance, his eyes narrowed, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed.
"Attack!!"
"No!"
The drums of war rang out loudly, and the flag fluttered swiftly on the conning tower.
More than 500 catapults outside the south gate let out a roar at the same time, and the boulder tore through the air and flew towards the city wall with a roar, and the people standing on the city wall had a terrible feeling that the sky was falling.
Thundered! The smoke and dust of the city wall rolled, the fire soared into the sky endlessly, many Jin soldiers were swept into the air by the tumbling air waves, and fell far under the city wall, the fragments of the bed crossbow flew all over the sky, and a catapult was disintegrated and spun and flew into the air and smashed into the wall bricks.
