Chapter 29 The First Round of Xiliang's Defeat

When Guo Yan's figure disappeared from the gate tower, Cao Cao still did not leave, and he stood in the same place like a statue. Cao Cao's behavior silently conveyed the order to continue the attack to his subordinates.

The soldiers who operate the continuous stone throwing machine adjust the attack distance again, and then the stones thrown by the stone throwing machine are smashed straight to the root of the city wall. In this way, the sharp pile array under the root of the wall is easily destroyed. The sharp pile array was destroyed, and the Cao army had no intention to stop. They still threw stones as usual, as if the root of the wall was their biggest enemy, and the enemy was as deep as the sea.

It was not until the stones completely covered the sharp pile array that Cao's army stopped attacking. At this time, it's time for lunch. At this time, Cao Cao pulled his horse back to the camp.

At this time, the Xiliang generals couldn't take care of their appetite, and the soldiers who had been in trouble for the rest of their lives began to clean up the stones on the aisle. Of course, the stones are thrown under the wall. After cleaning up the stones, it is to carry the body of the companion. In this way, the stones thrown down by the Xiliang soldiers raised the piles of stones.

Almost all the Xiliang soldiers have a backlog of anger in their hearts: This has not touched it yet. When did the Xiliang Legion suffer such a big loss?

Yuan Shu, who watched the battle on the local high platform, saw the power of the continuous stone thrower with his own eyes, and also paid tribute to the past: Cao A is really good at it. After a few years, he actually got a powerful and domineering siege equipment such as a continuous stone thrower. A dog that doesn't bark can bite...

When Cao Cao returned to the camp, Yuan Shu himself returned to the camp under the protection of the generals. In the afternoon, Cao's army calmly carried the wooden board and put it on the trench under the enemy's eyes, and calmly pushed the rush car to destroy the horse belt... And the migrant workers were not idle. They filled the trench with sacks and buried the ten-centimeter-long bamboo thorns.

Because it is too safe, some migrant workers actually sing folk songs, and the rich songs float in the sun. Such a situation absolutely stimulated the fierce and domineering Xiliang soldiers, but they had the intention to fight back but were unable to fight back. They could only stare at them, because their stone-throwing machines and bed crossbows were destroyed. They could only express their inner hatred with vicious eyes; they used the action of throwing stones under the wall to express their anger and unwillingness. .

At night, the military affairs meeting of the coalition camp was held on time. Even if Yuan Shu was a little unbalanced and a little envious and jealous, he still congratulated Cao Cao, who sat side by side with a smile, said, "Cao Mu's action is really shocking. Without hurting a soldier or a general, he beat the arrogant Xiliang soldiers to pieces, and all his city defense equipment was destroyed, and the number of casualties was 10,000 less... It's really admirable..."

When Cao Cao heard the words, he was calm. He said to Yuan Shu thoughtfully, "Thank you for your praise! I don't know how the Allied forces are fighting in the north of the city? ..."

Cao Cao deliberately changed the topic and diverted Yuan Shu's attention. Cao Cao said this and also counted his proud achievements on Yuan Shu's head. In this way, Yuan Shu's psychology was much more balanced.

Yuan Shu grinned and said disapprovingly, "Ha ha, just relying on the vulgar Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan? I guess the nonsense of the alien leader is enough for the two of them to drink a pot... By the way, Cao Mu, it's our turn to fight tomorrow, right?"

"This..." Cao Cao pretended to think and respond.

"Cao Mu, your soldiers have been working hard for a day. It's time to take a break. Let's leave tomorrow's siege to us..." Yuan Shu repeatedly asked.

When Cao Cao heard the words, he stared at Yuan Shu sideways. Growing up with bare buttocks since childhood, Yuan Shu naturally knew what he was doing: First, Yuan Shu was afraid that Cao Cao would occupy the city. In that case, the credit would be Cao Cao. How could Yuan Shu, who has always been wise and martial arts, accept this situation? Second, it is profitable. A day of stone thrower attack, the stones piled up under the root of the towering city wall, with a stone pile of ten meters and ten meters high, which can not only block the enemy's bow and arrow attack, but also help the attackers to attack the city, because it is easy to climb up the city wall without using a ladder... Such a favorable situation, of course, Yuan Shu will grasp, Wan As soon as he broke through the city, Yuan Shu's side made great contributions.

As an allied army, his own army first broke through the city. After all, it is Chang'an City, which has not been conquered for hundreds of years. This kind of record is enough to be outstanding... The more Yuan Shu thinks about it, the happier he is. It's much better than a dry virgin!

And Cao Cao was silent. He was not thinking about Yuan Shu's thoughts, but remembered Guo Jia's prediction of the siege two months ago... Now, the allocation of troops of the allied forces, the direction of the main attack, and even the reaction of the princes at every stage of the attack, and even the reaction of the rebel Xiliang Legion and the new weapons such as the crossbow. The situation is in Guo Jia's prediction. It seems that as early as two months ago, Guo Jia saw everything that was happening with his own eyes.

This includes: after Cao's army used secret weapons to launch the first attack, Yuan Shu will definitely take the initiative to take on the second round of attack... Of course, Guo Jia also predicted that Cao Cao was the first to break through the solid Chang'an City.

Of course, Guo Jia also said: There may be some trouble in the middle. Before Cao Cao left the nest, Guo Jia gave him another trick. Guo Jia repeatedly told: I hope that when attacking the city, I don't use this trick... If I can't use the trick, I hope that after Cao Cao breaks through the city, I will destroy the trick in time. I don't have to watch it, otherwise I won't be smart next time...

Cao Cao remembered Guo Jia's remarks and couldn't help raising his hand and quietly touching the tricks hidden around his waist. Of course, Cao Cao sincerely admires Guo Jia. Cao Cao can't help but believe the legend of Jianghu: Guo Jia is indeed the reincarnation of "Jiang Taigong", which is really unexpected.

It was so emotional that Cao Cao felt that being able to attract Guo Jia was the most successful thing he had done so far.

After Cao Cao's imagination, he pretended to be cautious and said to Yuan Shu, "County Marquis, I originally wanted my soldiers to rest for a day... In this case, tomorrow's siege mission will be handed over to the county marquis! County marquis, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. In tomorrow's battle, we can't take it lightly!"

Cao Cao knows that with Yuan Shu's temperament, he can't listen to his kind reminder. Yuan Shu couldn't listen, and he also wanted to say such a scene.

For the future, in order to prove his ability, in order to establish hegemony, Cao Cao, who is only 40 years old, no longer hates the so-called scenes, no longer does not follow the law, and is wantonly.

When Yuan Shu heard that Cao Cao agreed to his request, he happily exchanged cups with Cao Cao. Under their leadership, the civilian generals under their command also shouted. The whole scene was very harmonious and harmonious.

During the

period, the Allies in the north of the city also sent messengers to report the battle in the north of the city. Yuan Shu read the war report, and the smile on his face was even stronger: according to the war report, compared with the record of the alliance army in the east of the city, it is simply the ratio of rice grain light and moonlight.

After reading the war report, Cao Cao's face was still calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs: in the east of the city, he can be said to use a secret weapon continuous stone thrower to catch the enemy off guard. If the other party knows the existence of a continuous stone thrower, there will definitely be a countermeasure in advance. In this way, his side will absolutely It is impossible to achieve the current impressive record - without damaging a soldier and a general, all the enemy's urban defense equipment will be destroyed, and the enemy will be injured at least 10,000...

In the north of the city, Gongsun Zan, as the main attacking army, took advantage of the weakness of the Liang army defending the west of the city, with the flexible and witty command, cleverly avoided the enemy's stone-throwing machine and the domineering and fierce lethality of the bed crossbow, and finally turned the enemy into a shrinking turtle...

Cao Cao felt that the North League of the City had achieved such an impressive record, even if he commanded it, it was nothing more than that. On the first day of the siege, the allied forces in the east and north of the city won a gratifying victory: the allied forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the east of the city were surprised, and the allied forces of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north of the city were in good command.

The same late at night, different locations. Chang'an City, the palace of the palace. In the big palace, the lights were bright, and more than a dozen people knelt down. Former general Li Wei and later general Guo Wei still kneeled side by side on the main seat, while other senior civilian generals of the Xiliang Legion knelt down on both sides.

General Anji Dong Cheng and General Yang Ding, who is in charge of the defense of the south of the city, Yang Feng, the general of Xingyi, who is responsible for the defense of the west of the city, and other staff members are all silent and staring at the wine and food full of tables.

And Li Yu and Guo Yan didn't eat or drink for a day, and they were not aroused by the wine and delicacies. The fiasco, beyond imagination, made them, who had always been above the top proud and arrogant, unacceptable for a moment.

Li Yu and Guo Yan almost put down the statistical war report in his hand at the same time. At this time, Li Yu's eyes were even more gloomy, and Guo Yan's always public face was also full of pain.

Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and other generals also know the situation of the battle between the north and the east of the city: the north of the city was beaten into a shrinking turtle, and the east of the city suffered heavy losses.

General Yang, General Dong. Please tell me about the situation of the defense of each city..." Li Yu's voice was extremely weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

After Yang Feng and Dong Cheng looked at each other, the elder Yang Feng said to Li Yu and Guo Yan, "Report to the two generals. Ma Teng in the west of the city has no sign of attacking the city, nor has he sent troops to support his allies to attack the city!"

Li Yu heard this and nodded gently, but Guo Yan didn't have any reaction, as if he were sleepwalking.

When Li Wei's eyes turned to Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng immediately arched his hand and said, "General, Lv Bu and Chun Yuqiong's allied forces in the south of the city have no sign of attacking the city... According to the humble inference, Lv Bu's intention to suppress Chunyu Qiong to attack the city. According to Lv Bu's prodigal son, Lv Bu has no desire to attack the city. He is just right. I'm just interested in the beautiful women and treasures in Chang'an City!"

"Well, General Dong's words are reasonable!" Li Wei affirmed Dong Cheng's inference.

Although the north and east of the city suffered heavy losses, fortunately there was no war in the west and south of the city. The losses in the north and east of the city are beyond the imagination of the senior officials of the Xiliang Legion, but the situation in the west and south of the city are still under their control: because of the personal preferences of the commander Lv Bu, as long as there are thousands of Xiliang soldiers guarding, it is impossible for Lv Bu to launch a siege, even if Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, gives a death order.

As for Ma Teng in the west of the city, he will not easily launch a siege battle. The reason is that the troops are insufficient and the siege equipment is not complete. What's more, Ma Teng also needs to retain his strength to guard against the revenge of Han Sui, a prince in Xiliang. After all, in the battle of the sneak attack on Chang'an City the year before last, Han Sui's army was completely destroyed, and Ma Teng's army was safe and sound. Can Ma Teng accept such a result? Can Han Sui accept it?

Under the deliberate provocation of Li Wei and Guo Yan's side, Liangzhou crocodile Han Sui has already believed that Ma Teng and Li Wei and Guo Wei cheated him. The war between Han Sui and Ma Teng will happen sooner or later...

Therefore, Ma Teng's participation in the Qinwang's rebellion against the coalition was forced by the situation. Ma Teng's side will not pose a substantial threat to the Xiliang Legion.

It was not until this time that Li Wei could see what Lv Bu and Ma Teng were thinking. At this time, Li Wei, who was in his mind, began to miss the poisoner Jia Xu again: If Jia Xu had been there, several sets of defense plans would have been formulated long ago. That is, Cao Cao has a secret weapon continuous stone thrower, so what? If it is Jia Xu, there will be a clever way to deal with it...

Now, I am in the fog and don't know how to face tomorrow's battle. Later, General Guo Yan is still immersed in the pain of failure. Other generals and staff are all wine bags for senior strategies. I can't even think of a bad idea...

Li Yu inspected the crowd with weak eyes, and then whispered, "Guys, we have suffered heavy losses in the north and east of the city today... The past is over, and you can't mention it again. Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow's battle must be arduous and decisive. Both the north and east of the city need strong support. In this way, General Yang and General Dong, you two have each transferred 10,000 soldiers to support the north and east of the city, especially the east of the city need to supplement stone throwers and bed crossbows! ... Gentlemen, the same sentence, as long as you withstand the first three rounds of the attack of the allied forces, the victory will tilt towards us! Hey hey, today, the attackers of the allied forces are fighting alone, which fully shows that there are also irreconcilable contradictions between the princes of the allied forces! Come on, everyone!"

Li Yu said in the end, as if he saw a glimmer of victory, and his voice couldn't help but be full of strength.

"Wh! I will follow the general's order!" The generals agreed in unison.

At this time, Guo Yan, who had been in a confused state, was suddenly awakened by the shouts of the crowd, and he looked at the crowd blankly. When he wanted to ask what had happened, Li Wei had announced the end of the meeting.

When everyone left, Li Wei had an in-depth conversation with Guo Wei alone. Only two people know the content of the conversation, and outsiders can't know it!
