Chapter 654 The Shock of Cao Jun
The methods of Xiliang Army's scolding array have also been trained. It can't be said that Xiahou Dun, no matter how good-hearted a person is, if he is scolded like this, he will also smoke.
"Sir, let the general go out of the city to fight with them." Xiahou Dun's teeth creaked.
"General, no, have you forgotten what we discussed before?" The counselor said, "The Xiliang army is cunning. The previous battle seems to be open and upright. There may be many soldiers in ambush secretly. The elite cavalry can react at any time."
In this battle with Cao's army, all the Xiliang cavalry felt unprecedented pleasure. Yes, the enemy was a shrinking snail, making himself practice eloquence in vain.
With the arrival of Huang Zhong's army, the stalemate on the battlefield was disintegrated. Huang Zhong's army brought not only food and fodder, but also siege equipment, well-made Thunderbolt vehicles, shocking wells and heavy infantry that the enemy was afraid of.
Jia Rong's order was very simple. With the momentum of thunder, he captured Hanoi, which made Cao Cao feel afraid and the determination of the Xiliang army, so as to strengthen the defense of the East County and prepare for the army's secret capture of Yuzhou.
"Let the generals and soldiers of the three armies be ready to attack the county tomorrow. Be sure to fight down and win the prestige of the Xiliang Army." In the big account of the Chinese army, Huang Zhongduan sat down and said faintly.
Huang Zhong has enough confidence to break through the county city in the first battle. As for how strict the defense in the city is, it is useless in Huang Zhong's opinion. Before he came, Jia Rong gave Huang Zhong ten secret weapons developed by the craftsman's workshop, in order to make Cao's army panic.
The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. The defenders in the city were already ready. There were many knives and guns, bows and arrows, and staring at the army outside the city to welcome the first siege of the Xiliang Army.
"The whole army is on guard, wood boulders, arrows and other consumables, all ready to give the Xiliang army a fierce blow." Xia Hou Dun roared loudly that all the boulders should be in place. The purpose was to let the Xiliang army feel the fierce posture of Cao's defense and disintegrate the Xiliang army's offensive.
The rumble of war drums sounded. With Huang Zhong's order, the Thunderbolt car and crossbow car slowly stepped forward. When they were 300 steps away from the city wall, the crossbow car stopped and flew to the city. When the defenders in the city saw such a weapon, they couldn't help shrinking their heads.
The blocking of cowhide makes the crossbow arrow lose its effect to a certain extent, but it is not very useful. Strong crossbow arrows can even directly shoot through cowhide.
After the Thunderbolt car approached the city wall, it also began to show off its power. The basin-sized stones were thrown at the wall, which led to the city's screams.
Huang Zhong's eyes were not focused on these strong siege equipment, but on the ten soldiers in black with the siege soldiers. These ten soldiers were the real main force of the siege. The three secret weapons in their hands were enough to completely blow up the gate.
Looking at the ten soldiers going in the direction of the gate without hesitation, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. The gate has been destroyed, and the ten soldiers will also die. This is the dead man in the army. He is willing to sacrifice himself for victory. Knowing that there is a dead end ahead, he is still not afraid.
The things behind them have already been arranged, and even the name is engraved on the hero monument. However, these people have all the honor that a soldier can get. This is also the reason why many soldiers are willing to die for the victory of the army. They have My own faith.
"The heavy cavalry is ready." Huang Zhong said coldly.
Five hundred heavy cavalry slowly came forward and appeared in front of the army. At the same time, all the soldiers' hearts were tightly tightened.
Heavy cavalry is the strongest on the battlefield. A heavy cavalry can bring a lot of blood and blood. Not to mention infantry, even the cavalry will retreat when they see it. The light cavalry will not exceed the heavy infantry in speed. Once they approach, they can only wait to die, and the heavy infantry are equipped with armor.
"General, did the Xiliang army send out heavy cavalry?" The counselor doubted that although the big stones were thrown on the wall, the counselor still insisted on observing the situation on the battlefield.
"Huh, heavy cavalry? Could it be that the Xiliang Army wants to shoot arrows under the city? Don't forget that our army also has a Thunderbolt car. Once the siege soldiers approach, they will immediately start to launch, so that the Xiliang Army can also see the power of our army. Xia Houdun gritted his teeth and said.
Anyone who sees such casualties will be furious. Before the defenders of the city see the shadow of the enemy, they are so suppressed that they can't raise their heads. Such a battle, if it were any general, they will feel very aggrieved.
Ten light armored soldiers approached the direction of the city gate and quickly danced the tools in their hands. The solid ground soon became potholes. The tools in the hands of these soldiers were all made of fine steel, not to mention cutting iron like mud, but also extremely sharp.
The siege lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Xia Houdun felt that the city wall under his feet was constantly trembling. A foothold was unstable and almost fell down. The defenders in the city were even crooked, and there was no formation.
His ears buzzed and his mind was dizzy. Xia Hou Dun looked around inexplicably, and then several soldiers hurriedly carried him away.
It can't be said that the defenders in the city were even shocked by the attacking side. This time, the secret weapon is more powerful, which is also the result of the concerted efforts of the craftsmen of the workshop. Puyuan, as the organizer, has made outstanding achievements, otherwise it would not have received a huge reward after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
At the moment when the city gate exploded, the cavalry, which had already been ready to go, rushed in the direction of the gate and fled the unreacted Cao army. The four gates were quickly occupied, announcing the fall of Hanoi County, and the grain and materials in the city all belonged to the Xiliang Army.
In the first battle, he captured Hanoi County and captured more than 10,000 Cao's army, which can be said to be a complete victory. Huang Zhong sent a fast horse to Luoyang for victory, and on the other hand, the commander-in-chief continued to advance forward. Cao's army deployed heavy troops in various counties in order to play a buffer role when the Xiliang Army rose up. Unexpectedly, he did not expect Yes, the well-prepared Hanoi County was first to be broken, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
When 2,000 troops attacked Wudejuan County, the county orders and defenders in the city were shocked by the attack speed of the Xiliang Army and directly opened the gate to surrender.
When Cao Cao learned about the situation in Hanoi County, Xiliang's army had attacked Yuanwu. As long as Yuanwu was occupied, he could send troops to Yanzhou Dong County.
Before Cao Cao became the herdsman of Yanzhou, he was the governor of Dong County, which was quite famous in Dong County. In addition, he ruled the place, everything was fair, and the officials violated the law and the common people were the same crime. On the contrary, he also won a lot of people's hearts. The defense of Dong County can also be the second in Yanzhou.
Only the wall wall more than three feet high and the wide moat make the enemy scared. Let's not talk about attack, but all this is not a big problem for the Xiliang army. The well-prepared Hanoi County has been defeated by a battle. The solid defense of the East County is hard to believe.
"I didn't expect that the Xiliang Army had taken down Hanoi County, and now it is attacking Yuanwu. General Xiahou is struggling to support Yuanwu. What's your good strategy?" Cao Cao's tone was flat, and there were already stormy waves in his heart. What speed is this? It seems to be advancing all the way. Cao Cao is very clear about the defense of Hanoi County. There are more than 30,000 defenders alone, and there are more than 10,000 defenders in the county. Even if the Xiliang Army sends 100,000 troops, it can't be captured overnight.
"Lord, the east county is high and thick, and the moat is wide. Now the plan is to think about how to resist the huge attack weapon of the Xiliang Army." A wise light flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes.
"Yes, it is said that this kind of weapon of the Xiliang Army can directly open the gate, and the city wall is shaken. The soldiers on it are unstable, and the cavalry have already invaded the city. If it is difficult to think of a corresponding way for this weapon in the Xiliang Army, Yanzhou is in danger." Mao Ji echoed.
Cao Cao nodded slightly, "I don't know about this matter, and I don't know who the Xiliang Army has got help. It's such a sharp weapon."
"Lord, the Xiliang army captured Hanoi because the weapons are superior, and the key breakthrough point is the city gate. Why not order the soldiers to completely block the city gate? I don't believe that the Xiliang army can directly kill the city wall." Cheng Yu said slowly.
"This is a great plan. Ma uploaded an order to Cao Zhen and Liu Ye to completely block the gate to prevent the Xiliang army from attacking the city." Cao Cao gave the order.
"Lord, what about General Xiahou, who is resisting the Xiliang Army in Yuanwu?"
"Let him go back to the army and Jiyin."
In the original Wu City, Xia Hou Dun struggled to support it. The Xiliang army did not use the kind of weapons that could make the city wall tremble violently and the gate was lost. The offensive was still not what Yuanwu could resist. The original Wu city wall was low, and there were only more than 3,000 defenders in the city, which could withstand the three-day attack, which had reached its limit.
If you don't fight with the Xiliang Army, you will never understand how afraid they are. They are all good weapons, and their morale is like a rainbow. If the Chinese army does not sound the sound of gold, they will never retreat and be banned. Such a team is definitely a nightmare for all enemies.
Before he saw the Xiliang army, Xia Houdun always believed that the Xiliang army was most equal to Cao's army, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was equal. After all, in recent years, Cao's army has fought in the east and west of the Central Plains, giving his soldiers sufficient confidence to destroy the will of all the enemies. However, in front of the Xiliang army, this confidence is Gradually disintegrated.
"General, more than 500 soldiers were sacrificed yesterday, and countless people were injured. In less than a day, Yuan Wu will be lost." A general walked quickly to Xia Hou Dun, and the losses among the generals came. In the three-day battle, any general in the army was in awe of Xia Hou Dun. Such a person is like a madman in the face of the battle, regardless of the injuries on his body. In the three days, Xia Hou Dun has been injured in more than ten places, although it is not heavy, according to The old one gives people a shocking feeling.
