Chapter 37 Catch the fighter and insert the needle
Guo Wei thought that he had fully mastered Cao Cao's mind and controlled Cao Cao's will. Seeing that Cao Cao did not respond, he took the initiative to negotiate with Cao Cao and said, "Cao Mengde, do you know who is behind me? That's Lu Chengfeng, the suzerain of the first valve in the world today... Cao Mengde, look at these people on the wall. These people are all rich people in Chang'an City. In case they have three advantages and two shortcomings, even if your allied forces take down Chang'an City, it won't be much sense... Cao Mengde, the lives of these people are not under control now. It is in the hands of our Xiliang Legion, but in the hands of your Confederate Army. In order to save the lives of these people, Cao Mengde will advise you: Please retreat as soon as possible and go wherever you come and go. Otherwise, if you want to break through the city, you can break through the city from the bodies of these people first!"
After listening to Guo Yan's shouting, Cao Cao's eyes showed a deep disappointment. He sighed and lowered his noble head. At the moment when Cao Cao lowered his head, Guo Yan, who was a kilometer away, seemed to see Cao Cao's crystal tears flowing out.
Cao Cao's embarrassment made Guo Yan even happier. Guo Yan looked up to the sky and laughed. The enemy cries and laughs by themselves. This is the unchanging rule.
In Guo Wei's sight, Cao Cao summoned the messenger soldiers with a depressed expression. After Cao Cao gave an order to the messenger soldiers, he led the guard battalion back to the coalition camp. While Cao Cao led his army back to the barracks, the messenger quickly conveyed Cao Cao's order to Cao Ren's camp, Xia Houchun's camp, and the stone-throwing machine camp...
Guo Yan didn't need to think too much, he knew that Cao Cao retreated in a difficult way. Guo Yan felt happy when he thought of Cao Cao's depressing mood. Under his gaze, Cao's two siege camps returned to the camp, and the soldiers of the stone-throwing machine camp were moving or dismantling the stone-throwing machine. These situations show that Cao Jun took the initiative to give up the siege and withdrew from the battlefield one after another with depressed emotions.
As time goes by, it's time for lunch. For several days, Guo Yan had no appetite. At noon today, he felt particularly hungry. He told the generals guarding the city to pay close attention to the movement of Cao's army, and then he went back to his mansion for dinner.
Outside the city, Guo Yan was very happy about the withdrawal of Cao's troops, but the situation in the city made him very irritable, because more and more people gathered in the aisle of the city gate, and these people came to visit their families. Some volunteers saw that their parents and children were also taken hostage by the Xiliang Legion. They were even more indignant and went on strike without hesitation.
Some bold volunteers secretly hid some short-range weapons before leaving their posts in case of accident. In order to protect their parents and children, what will these bloody men be afraid of?
The crowded crowd is full of the streets and alleys of Chang'an Dongcheng. If their eyes can kill people, Guo Yan and his party who passed in front of them don't know how many times they have died...
They watched Guo Yan go back to the mansion for dinner under the protection of the bodyguards, and their relatives were still eating in the aisle of the city wall. From last night to this time, can the weak old people and weak children stand it?
I don't know who shouted first, "Go home! Go home!" Then, more and more people joined the slogan for a moment, "Go home!" The slogan of "Go home..." was magnificent, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, which was even more exciting than the sound of war drums.
The shouts of tens of thousands of middle-aged men attracted the suppression of the Xiliang soldiers. The Xiliang soldiers tried to disperse the crowd without cold shields and sharp weapons. In the hustle and hustle of each other, some people were injured and fell to the ground.
For parents and children, even in the face of the savage and fierce Xiliang soldiers, these people began to be stubborn and brave. They formed a human wall to block the impact of Xiliang soldiers. If at this time, they have weapons in their hands, even if it is a kitchen knife, they dare to confront the Xiliang generals, instead of simply forming a human wall and confronting the Xiliang generals.
At this time, the riots in the east of the city were caught by Cao Cao outside the city. At this time, Cao Cao, dressed as an ordinary soldier, was standing by the moat and watching the situation of the city: the shouts of magnificent mountains and rivers came from the direction of the gate, "Go home!" Go home! At the same time, the direction was full of dust and smoke. These situations told Cao Cao: Tens of thousands of people gathered on the official road under the gate in the east of the city. These people came to visit their relatives, and their relatives were suffering from hunger and cold on the wall. These people are clashing with the Xiliang soldiers.
More and more Xiliang soldiers ran from the city wall to the city, and more and more children were scared and began to cry. The scene was a mess, so bad that it was uncontrollable.
In this way, it was originally used to blackmail Cao's army hostages, but now it has become a trouble for Xiliang soldiers. The trouble is that even the hungry Xiliang soldiers don't have time to eat.
Observing such a chaotic situation on the enemy's side, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a little surprise. He turned his eyes and looked at his own situation: half of the continuous stone throwers have been dismantled, and hundreds of continuous stone throwers have gathered in the direction of the city gate. These stone throwers are only 800 meters away from the city wall. This distance is the sincerity of Cao's army to the Xiliang army ** defending the city. They want to dismantle the stone throwers under the eyes of the Xiliang army; Thousands of short soldiers' weapons were tightly wrapped in sackcloth and quietly placed near the continuous stone thrower, which is what the Xiliang Army can't see;
In another area, the death squad composed of Cao Ren, Xiahou Chun and Tai Shici was pretending to dismantle the stone-throwing machine. They waited for Cao Cao's order to charge the city wall as soon as possible...
The Xiliang soldiers who guarded the city, including Guo Yan, who was in the gate tower before, did not find these small movements of Cao's army. They were hit by Cao Cao's suspicion. It's also called crossing the sea.
Cao Cao, who was among the soldiers, gave an order to attack the messengers around him. The messenger pretended to transport things and casually walked to the stone-throwing machine camp. Then, the commanding soldier gave Cao Cao's order to the general in charge of the stone-throwing machine camp.
Under a special communication method, the general conveyed the order of attack to the soldiers near each thrower. So, at the next moment, thousands of Cao soldiers quickly took their positions and put the short weapons wrapped in linen into the pockets of the stone thrower. When everything was ready, the general waved his hand, and hundreds of stone throwers started at the same time, throwing the sackcloth wrapped in weapons at the wall.
In the face of more than a thousand yellow objects, the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city suddenly became nervous. When the yellow objects crossed over their heads, their hanging heart fell back to its original place.
In their attention, the yellow objects thrown by Cao Jun fell on the houses under the city walls, in the streets, in the alleys... They couldn't understand why Cao Jun did this. Their eyes changed from nervousness to blank.
Some yellow objects hit the heads of the people who were shouting desperately. These people were knocked unconscious on the spot, and the people who were knocked unconscious fell to the ground. People beside them carried them to a safe area. Some people bent down and reached out to pick up the yellow object. When he touched the yellow linen wrapped in a short soldier weapon, he opened it with a pleasant surprise and divided the short soldier weapon to the strong man beside him as quickly as possible...
More and more people are holding short-range weapons in their hands. Under the cover of their companions, some volunteers who are good at martial arts are close to the Xiliang soldiers in front of them. In the chaos, they stab short weapons into the bodies of the Xiliang soldiers... When a row of Xiliang soldiers fell softly, the Xiliang soldiers behind them found that the people had weapons in their hands. Before they could think about where the people's weapons came from, they rushed to the people with weapons...
Under the impact of tens of thousands of people, the official road dozens of meters wide is narrow, and hundreds of Xiliang soldiers seem to be alone. Tens of thousands of people shouted crazily, covering the meeting between the two sides.
When the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall found the abnormality under their feet, some people with weapons began to climb the steps and hit the wall...
In this case, the Xiliang soldiers did not wait for the order of their superiors, so they opened their bows and arrows and shot the ruthless arrows at the people who charged. The people who were hit the arrows fell from the steps, and more people bravely charged with arrows. Some soldiers of the rich clans raised shields against the arrows of the Xiliang army and quickly rushed to the city wall... P>
More and more people fell under the rain-like arrows, and more and more Xiliang soldiers gathered in the direction of the city gate tower. However, when some Xiliang soldiers only ran halfway, they were lucky to see three Cao soldiers running towards the city wall. The number of Cao soldiers was not large, and one was only one hundred and ten people, but their speed was extremely fast. Among them, a young general, the shadow, was still by the moat, and his real body had appeared 200 meters away from the city wall. Rice.
The Xiliang soldiers guarding the city in this direction aimed at the man with bows and arrows. The man's figure was in the shape of an "S" to avoid the rain-like arrows and quickly approached the city wall and crossed a distance of 200 meters.
When this man boarded a ten-meter-high pile of stones, Cao's army behind him also rushed to 400 meters away from the city wall. When the archer guarding the city opened his bow and arrow again, the man had jumped to the wall with a fang-like weapon. The man casually threw out a flying knife and killed the Xiliang soldiers behind the hostage in front of him.
Because the distance was too close, the Xiliang archers could not aim at the figure of the enemy general, so they wanted to transfer their bodies. When they aimed at the enemy who went to the city again, their companions five meters away from the enemy were shot in the throat with a flying knife. The swords and shieldsmen who are good at close combat, the spear soldiers began to come to besiege this man. Facing the siege of Xiliang soldiers, the man quickly protected the hostages behind him and fought bravely with the enemy.
This person is not an outsider, but Tai Shici. It was uncomfortable to be imprisoned in the city, but Taishici felt even more uncomfortable when he saw the suffering of innocent people.
Although his strength has dropped to the cultivation of intermediate generals, although Tai Shici feels that the true elements in his body are passing very fast, he can cope with the siege of various enemies freely with the sword and peerless body skills in his hand.
