Chapter 635: Each has its own strategy
The earth mountain was built, more than ten zhang, and the high platform was cast on it, which completely surpassed the height of the Guandu fortress. Ten thousand arrows are fired together, and Cao Jun will have nowhere to hide.
Cao Cao was anxious because of this, and in the courtyard of the mansion, he looked at the Qin army's arrow tower that seemed to be connected to the sky in the distance, and said at a loss: "It's over, it's over, Qin Zijin is going to shoot, he is about to shoot, what should I do!" ”
Poof, Guo Jia on the side squirted out the tea, wiped his mouth, and looked bitter. The heart said that the lord spoke, and it became more and more concise.
"Going to?" Cao Hong, the clan general on the side, looked at his crotch with a nostalgic expression.
Outside Guandu, the Qin army has already cast a mountain of earth.
Qin Feng immediately mobilized archers to climb the mountain, go to the arrow platform, and throw bows and arrows.
In the roar, thousands of arrows are fired at the same time, all day long.
Projectile, powered by gravity, is not to be underestimated.
A real rain of arrows descended on Guandu, and some of them hit the wall, but more shot inside. Cao Jun was terrified and hid one after another. And the soldiers in charge of the garrison held their shields to cover their arrows in fear.
Bangbang
The soldiers of the Qin army laughed, and couldn't help shouting: "Shoot Cao Cao, everyone has enough strength!" ”
"Shoot during the day and keep shooting at night!"
At this point, Cao Jun's morale was completely lost.
Cao Cao in the mansion is still far from the place of archery, so he is safe and worry-free, but his heart is like soup. He didn't have a countermeasure now, so he pinned his hopes on Guo Jia, and said hurriedly: "Fengxiao, think of a plan, you can't let Qin Zijin shoot like this!" ”
In fact, Guo Jia has been pondering strategies for the past few days, but the current situation has been completely blocked by the Qin army in the Guandu Fortress. If you can't get out, how can you have a plan.
Cao Cao wandered for a while and sighed, "Hey......." If Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others are here, it would be good to brainstorm ....... ”
"Liu Ye!" Guo Jia immediately became energetic. Said excitedly: "Lord, in the past, when he was in Xuchang, Guo Jia once saw Liu Ye's military division made a stone car, which is comparable to a catapult, although it is not as far as the catapult, but it can be thrown to a higher place!" ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Feng Xiaoke has ever remembered how to make it?" ”
"This thing doesn't have a lot of weight, and it's easier to make a zuò than a catapult, Guo Jia still remembers."
And so. Cao Cao immediately ordered Guo Jia to make a catapult. Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers worked together to build hundreds of vehicles overnight.
When the sky was slightly bright, these stone carts were distributed in the earthen wall, and the bucket of the stone carts was filled with fist-sized stones, and dozens of them were aimed at the arrow platform on a dirt mountain.
When the sky was bright, Qin Jun came to the arrow platform again in good spirits. With the sound of bangs, he began to shoot arrows again.
Cao Jun, who had already prepared in Guandu, shouted together. Pull the stone cart together. The rocks flew into the sky like cannonballs, scattered and struck upwards, and when they landed, they formed a covering blow. For a while, the sky was full of stones, and the momentum was huge.
"Not good!"
"There's a flying stone!"
"Hide!"
The archers of the Qin army were struck by rocks. They could not stand on the top of the arrow platform, and they all went down to the earth mountain to take refuge.
Because when the stone is fired, it crackles. It is like thunder, calling it "thunderbolt".
The Qin army could not climb high and shoot arrows. Cao Cao was thus able to climb the earth wall again.
At this time, Qin Feng, who came to inspect the battle situation every day. also came to the front of Guandu. He saw that the archer had a blue nose and swollen face, and asked why. When he learned that it was caused by a stone throwing blow from Guandu, he was taken aback.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Brother Zijin, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder." Today, how about this stone plan for my brother? ”
Qin Feng was furious and said: "Cao Mengde, Hugh wants to take advantage of the moment, and I want you to look good when I break Guandu in the future!" ”
Cao Cao laughed again and said, "Zijin, my official crossing rolling stones, sassal wood, and fire oil are complete, and I can't use them up for a few years." You still need to attack quickly, I can't wait for my brother! ”
As soon as Cao Cao waved his hand, he heard Cao Jun at the head of the city singing together: "Brothers, work hard, hey, hey!" ”
"Put on a big stone and smash Qin Zijin to death!"
"Hey, hey!"
Qin Feng took out Zhen Ji's brocade and wiped his sweat, slammed it back into his arms, gritted his teeth and then turned his horse away, and said, "It's useless to stay here, the whole army retreats!" ”
Amid the neighing of people and horses, the 100,000 Qin troops retreated and returned to their base camp.
"Qin Zijin has escaped, hey, hey!"
"Qin Zijin is dead, hey, hey!" The sound of the trumpet echoed in Guandu.
……
The Qin army camp, the Chinese army's big tent.
Qin Feng slapped his helmet on the desk and said angrily: "It's really hateful, it must be Liu Ye's stone car!" "Qin Feng knew this thing as soon as he thought about it, in the legend of the heroes of later generations, this catapult is a class of troops with stronger attack power than the Guards Cavalry, but it can't run fast, and it is the most suitable for defense.
The city was full of this thing, and with a single shell, the weakly defended strategists and military bands were knocked flying.
Xun You hurriedly persuaded: "The lord is angry, and it is inevitable that the war will win and lose each other. ”
Qin Feng sat down, took a sip of the tea sent by Huwei, and said, "I said that in two days, after breaking the morale of Cao's army, I waved my army to attack, but now Cao Cao has broken my plan, what can I do?" ”
Xu Shu and Xun Yu communicated.
At this time, Zhang Ping, an officer of the Tiger Guard, came in and said, "My lord, the scouts have sent news that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have occupied the earth mountains everywhere and built archery positions!" ”
Qin Feng, who was drinking tea and waiting for news from the military advisor, his face twitched slightly. At this point, I thought of the arrow platform in Wushuang, if I don't take it down, it will be a rain of arrows in more than ten seconds, if it is the highest difficulty, let alone fighting with the enemy general, two rounds of arrow rain will be bloodless.
really made a wedding dress for someone else, Cao Cao had these more than 50 arrow towers, and his defense power almost doubled. It will be a great price to take these arrow towers, not to mention the Guandu Fortress inside.
When the two military advisors heard this, their brows furrowed, and they began to discuss again.
Siege is nothing more than a strong attack and a sneak attack, and a strong attack is bound to have more casualties, plus Cao Cao has a sharp weapon like a thunderbolt, so a strong attack is the last resort.
After a while, Xu Shu offered a plan and said, "Lord." Cao Cao had more than 50 earth mountain arrow towers, which could not be attacked. Soldiers can be ordered to use shovels to make tunnels. Sneak into the Guandu Fortress from underground! ”
Wars, especially large-scale ones. It's not a matter of a month or two. Now there is no breakthrough progress in the armies of all walks of life, and unless Qin Feng's mid-route army breaks through Guandu, it will not be useful for the time being.
So, Qin Feng followed his words and asked Xu Shu to take charge of this matter.
In the coming day, Xu Shu mobilized an army of 100,000 and led Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Gao Shun back to Guandu. And under the outer dirt mountains, a formation was laid out.
Cao Cao personally climbed the earth wall to command the battle, and said: "Our army now has the earth mountain arrow platform as a barrier. will definitely be able to block the offensive of the Qin army, but I am afraid that they will not come! ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Qin Zijin stole chickens and rice, and gave these earth mountains with excellent defense to the lord!" ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "General Cao Hong, you and General Yu Ban led an army of 50,000 to resist the route of the Qin army between these mountains and earth. Speaking of this, Cao Cao's words became cold, and he said: "Let them all die under the arrows of our army!" Shoot them, shoot hard! ”
"Whoa!" Cao Hong said loudly.
Guo Jia looked at it from afar and said, "General Cao Hong." You can line up in the middle of the earth and mountains and wait for the Qin army to enter, so that our army's arrow platforms from all sides can deliver a rain of arrows. In addition, General Cao Chun had already returned yesterday and could be put on standby. When necessary, you can send out the Haw Par Rider to charge! ”
In this regard, Cao Hong and Yu Ban led an army of 50,000 out of Guandu. Just in front of the official crossing, he confronted the Qin army.
Qin Jun side.
Xu Shuyao pointed to the three dirt mountains lined up in front of him, and said calmly: "General Zhao Yun." General Gao Shun, General Wei Yan. You may divide your troops and take these three mountains. The enemy troops who went out of Guandu did not need to be ignored, they would definitely line up in the middle of the mountains of Zhongtu. Speaking of this, Xu Shu chuckled and said, "They still think that our army is going to attack all!" ”
"Whoa!"
Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Wei Yan took action.
The shouts of killing sounded, and the Qin saber and shield soldiers braved the rain of arrows and attacked Tushan.
The earth mountains are from the outside to the inside, and the outer ones are the weakest in defense.
The rain of arrows on the initial arrow platform was dense, clanging on the shield of the Qin army.
There were also some rolling stones, which were thrown down by the infantry on the dirt mountain, and for a time the Qin army inevitably suffered casualties.
But there were only more than 100 people on a dirt mountain, so when the Qin army was halfway up the mountain, Cao's army hurriedly descended the dirt mountain from the other side, and hurriedly went up to a dirt mountain in the rear, and joined the soldiers on this dirt hill to strengthen the defense.
In this way, the Qin army took three earth mountains at a very small price.
After that, in order to confuse the enemy, Xu Shu ordered Zhao Yun and other generals to feint against Guandu.
For a time, arrows rained down on the dirt mountains everywhere, and the brigade led by Cao Hong and Yu Ban set up defensive formations on the road between the narrow dirt mountains, so as to intercept the enemy and give their own arrow towers more time to strike.
When Cao Cao saw this, he confidently waited for the Qin army to be annihilated, but to his surprise, the Qin army stopped the offensive, held the three dirt mountains that had been occupied, and began to arrange defenses.
Cao Cao sneered and said, "This must be Qin Feng, who wants to take down our army's Tushan in turn, and orders all departments to strengthen the troops on Tushan." Every time he loses an earthen mountain, he will consume more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of Qin Feng, more than 50 of them, and destroy 30% of his army! ”
Cao Cao not only occupied Tushan, but also repelled a large-scale attack by Qin Feng. Guandu has been as stable as Mount Tai, Guandu does not lose, the base camp Xuchang is worry-free, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to calm down, drink tea and enjoy the coolness.
On this day, Cao Cao wore a single coat, with an open arms, lying on his side on the mat under the big tree, fanning the big pu fan.
At this time, Cao Hong, the first general of Guandu, rushed over and shouted: "Lord, it's not good, the Qin army has begun to dig a pit!" ”
Cao Cao got up with a grunt, scratched his chest hair, glared and said, "Damn, Qin Zijin has started to make holes again!" However, he immediately came to his senses and said, "No, Zilian, the dirt mountain outside has been occupied by our army, which has greatly improved the garrison, where are Qin Zijin's soldiers and horses digging pits?" ”
The poisonous sun shone down through the cracks in the leaves, and all around was the sound of knowing howls.
Cao Hong wiped his sweat and said: "The Qin army's actions are very secretive, and there are tents to cover them, which were discovered by the soldiers on the earth mountain!" ”
This is a strange thing, Cao Cao immediately took the think tank Guo Jia and went to the front line to check.
On the nearest dirt mountain, Cao Cao looked at the dirt mountain opposite, and sure enough, in the camouflaged tent, soldiers went in and out, carrying bags, and they couldn't tell that they were digging a pit. Cao Cao couldn't help but say: "Who found out, how did you know that it was digging a pit?" ”
I saw a small colonel, trembling and came over, and said: "Lord, the villain used to rob the tomb, and it was inevitable that others would find out, and he often covered it up and dug a pit, so you can see it at a glance!" ”
Guo Jia smiled at this time: "Lord, this is the Digger Army!" (To be continued......)
