Chapter 214
For the attack of the thunderbolt car, Cao Jun naturally had some methods. In the battle of Nanyang, they suffered losses, and now they will not be passively beaten all the time. What's more, the thunderbolt car was first invented by Liu Ye.
After the initial panic, Cao Xiu finally calmed down, and the shield wanted to block the stone, which was obviously impossible. Some soldiers of the Cao army wrapped a thick layer of thatch on the planks and splashed them with water, which was very effective in blocking stones. The rest of the soldiers temporarily hid in the pass, and waited until the thunderbolt attack stopped.
After several rounds of "bombing" by the Han army, the whistling stopped.
"Quick, hurry up to the Guanlou!" shouted Cao Xiu as he rushed to the front.
There are only a few hundred soldiers in the gate, and the Han army must not be allowed to take advantage of this time to rush up.
However, when Cao Xiu came to the juncture, he was surprised to find that Liu Wei had not attacked the pass and led the Han army to retreat.
"This..." Cao Xiu couldn't understand what Liu Xiu wanted to do, did he want to just use the thunderbolt car to capture the Tiger Pass? For such a long time, they only suffered more than 100 casualties!
On the third day, the Han army attacked again. But this time it was not a thunderbolt, but a gale crossbow.
After the iron arrows flew to the moment, those wooden boards could not be blocked at all, and the thick thatch had a cushioning effect on the stones, but it had no effect on the iron arrows flying at high speed. Cao Xiu was caught off guard and folded more than a hundred soldiers. When the Cao army re-erected the shield wall at the juncture, the Han army withdrew again.
"Master, we attack like this, we consume a lot of equipment, but the damage to Cao Jun is not great!" He felt that since he wanted to tackle the problem, he had to direct the soldiers to attack with real knives and guns. Even if you feint, you should always rush
!" Cao Xiu defended tightly, even if three thousand soldiers rushed forward, they would not be able to attack for a while, and they would lose half of the soldiers. In this way, although we did not kill or injure many enemy troops, our Han army did not suffer casualties, this is a transaction that does not lose money!"
The lord Liu Jun has done a lot of business, how did he become like a businessman.
"Pass the order to Xiang Pet, let the thunderbolt car and the wind crossbow attack in turn every day, it should be training, launch it more accurately, and at the same time make the momentum bigger, so that the closed Cao army will not be peaceful every day!"
"There is no tranquility every day?" Pang Tong repeated in his heart, and a fine light suddenly appeared on his face.
Wei Xing, in the county commandery, Zang Ba was a little restless. However, there was excitement on his face.
Since returning to Cao Cao, Zang Ba has been a little frustrated. At first in Qingzhou, he had nothing to do. Seeing others repeatedly making battle merits, Zang Ba was very unhappy in his heart. When Cao Cao was heading south, Zang Ba asked for orders to fight, but Cao Cao did not agree. At that time, under Cao Cao, he could be described as a famous general, and there were not many of him, and there were no less than him.
When Jingzhou surrendered and confronted Sun Liu's coalition forces at Chibi, Zang Ba was discouraged. Obviously, after this battle, Jiangdong will be destroyed, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou will probably fall to the wind, and the world will be unified. After that, the role of the military general is getting smaller and smaller, and he can only bear the talent.
Unexpectedly, Chibi Cao Cao actually lost, and it was a fiasco. At this time, the lord finally remembered himself and asked him to garrison Wei Xing.
Last time, Zhong Xiu transferred another 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the army under his command was 10,000. Originally, I wanted to defeat Liu Jun and make a name for myself. However, Liu Jun's attack on Wei Xing was false, and the raid on Nanyang was true.
This time, the opportunity finally came. Li Yan led an army of 20,000 people, left Shangyong, and went straight to Wei Xing.
"General, Li Yan has arrived outside the city and is camping!" Deputy General Sun Guan came in to report.
"Good!" Zang Ba suddenly slapped the table, "Go
to the city!" "
No!" When
Zang Ba and Sun Guan ascended the city, the military commander Yin Li was already neatly dressed and led three thousand soldiers to guard there.
"General, please look!" Following
the direction of Yin Li's finger, Zang Ba saw that the Han army had five thousand soldiers and horses lined up in front, and other soldiers and horses were camping and orderly.
"General, do you take advantage of the fact that the Han army is not firmly established and go out of the city to kill by surprise!" Yin Li's eyes lit up, and his expression was excited.
"Yes, General, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Shangyong, and Li Yan is pouring out. If we can defeat it, we can take the upper mean, and then..." Sun Guan did not continue. However, Zang Ba knew that the geographical location of Shangyong was too important, and occupying it was equivalent to strangling the throats of Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou!
"Lu'er, Zhongtai, don't be too hasty!" Zang Ba shook his head, "This Li Yan is not a reckless person, he has arranged five thousand soldiers and horses in front, if we attack, we will not be able to win quickly!"
"But..." Sun Guan wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Zang Ba.
"Zhongtai, you gathered the soldiers in the city, we will move when we see the opportunity!" "
No!" Sun Guan immediately went down from the city.
After Li Yan's army set up camp, he had no intention of attacking the city, apparently wanting the army to rest.
In the evening, Zang Ba sent a number of scouts to inquire about the situation of the Han military camp. It turned out that the entire camp was heavily defended, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it. Zang Ba knew that Li Yan was cautious and gave up the idea of robbing the camp.
The next day, 5,000 soldiers and horses came out of the Han military camp and slowly came to the city.
Li Yan urged the horse out and pointed Zang Ba at the big gun in his hand, "Zang Ba listen, I am under the command of Jingzhou Mu, Li Yan, the general of Zhengxi, is now leading the 20,000 tiger and wolf division of the Tiger Battalion, and you have 10,000 dogs and sheep under your command, how can you be an opponent, don't you hurry up and surrender the city!" "
Li Yan Xiaoer, Hugh is rampant!" Before Zang Ba could speak, Sun Guan shouted "Wow" in anger.
Jingzhou was the rise of some generals, such as the Pingdong general Gan Ning, the Pingxi general Deng Ai, the Pingnan general Huang Zhong, and the Pingbei general Wei Yan. Of course, there are some miscellaneous generals, and there are also some wisdom, such as Ma Chen, Niu Jin, Huo Jun, etc., when did you hear that there was a general who was in the west of the country? The unknown junior dared to call his soldiers tigers and wolves, while other people's soldiers were dogs and sheep?
"The last general is willing to go out of the city!" Sun Guan did not show weakness.
At this time, Zang Ba was even more full of fighting spirit, and these days could hold them back. They were all born in yellow turbans, warlike people, how could they allow a nameless person to shout.
After Zang Ba gave Yin Li some instructions, he and Sun raised 5,000 soldiers and horses and went out of the city gate.
After lining up the formation, Zang Ba immediately crossed the knife in the formation, and Sun Guan came forward.
"Li Yan, I'm Sun Guan, the general of Dangkou, and I don't want to come and die soon!" In
the formation of the Han army, a general came out, stepped down a big black horse, dressed in black leather armor, his face was dark and ugly, and he held a big knife in his palm, living like a plague!
"Sun Guanxiu, Zhou Canglai!"
