Lu Zhao was also very moved. He pressed the captain’s shoulder and said, "If you can’t hold on, rest in Chengtou first!"
A captain quickly shook his head and said, "This little injury doesn’t matter!"
"The enemy will suddenly stop when there are enough stone bullets?" Road recruit nodded and walked to a place that is still intact near the crib. After looking for a moment, he suddenly said
The captain quickly walked beside him and said, "At the end of the day, it seems that Jingzhou Army is going to specialize in moving thundercars!"
Lu Zhao didn’t directly direct the thunderbolt car battle, but the truth became clear when he thought about it. He frowned and said to the generals behind him, "It seems that the Jingzhou army is going to choose a little storm and try to collapse the wall. What do you think our army should do now?"
The generals looked at each other. What else could they have in mind? However, it is impossible for them to abandon the city in vain, and they will continue to hold on until Coss reinforcements arrive.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and whispered to them, they said, "The ministries are still waiting for the city to survive today and there will be a turn for the better."
"General Jingzhou Army has moved the thunderbolt!" The captain has been staring at the Jingzhou army’s movement and quickly said to the road that the road beckoned and waved, "I’ll wait for the city for a while and see if this thunderbolt can bomb the walls of Xuyi!"
☆, Chapter sixty-four There seems to be a siege at night.
At this time, the weather is hot in the midsummer, and the sun is burning, and the armor is swinging, which makes the eyes of the defenders of the city head hurt. However, the most worrying thing is that the Jingzhou army’s tall and solid thundercars are far apart from each other from the south gate to the east gate. Although the bombardment is amazing, the wall is holding on. Now the Jingzhou army will bombard the city gate in two places, the east gate and the south gate, but it is increasingly difficult to resist.
Lu Zhao didn’t give up his duties because of this. Although he was not Chengtou, he always kept an eye on the Jingzhou army’s trend. When Weizi sent people for help, more than 200 people of his cronies were transferred to the west of the city to reinforce. This just stopped Zhu Huan and his men from attacking both sides. The west fell into a stalemate and gradually spread to the city.
The city is full of smoke and dust, and you can see the broken walls everywhere. The houses near the broken walls have been smashed by stone bullets. Although the casualties of the defenders are not great because of the city’s escape, their morale has been much lower than before.
Every time a stone bomb bombards the city wall, people feel that their hearts jump for fear that the city wall can’t withstand the collapse, but they should also prevent the rubble from falling from the city head. Sometimes the stone bomb hits the city head and bounces and rolls to destroy the female wall, and it will also kill and hurt Cao Jun soldiers.
The weakest part of the city wall is that the city gate was built and the city gate tower was destroyed by stone bullets, and the masonry of the city gate hole also fell off the original hole to escape. When the soldiers saw it, they fled from the door.
"General, it seems that this gate can’t hold for long!" The lieutenant saw the situation of the city gate hole and hurriedly reported to the road.
After listening to Lu Zhao, he didn’t know that such an attack on the city gate would be breached sooner or later. Now I can hope that the later I am breached, the more chance I will have to support myself until Coss leads an army to arrive.
In order to prevent the enemy from pouring into the road after the collapse of the city gate, it is ordered that the soldiers should block up the doorway, even if they can’t completely block it, it will be difficult for Jingzhou army to successfully enter the city from now on. Fortunately, the city is full of ruins, rubble and bricks, and some Cao soldiers can be found dragging beams and columns from the collapsed houses and piling them into the doorway of the city gate.
In this process, the Jingzhou Army thunderbolt car not only failed to weaken the offensive, but also threw more and more densely. The suspension bridge was fixed with iron cables, and the city head was also hit by a stone bullet. It flew into the moat with the inverted suspension bridge and finally fell into the moat.
The soldiers of Jingzhou Army cheered when they saw Qi, and thousands of people burst into cheers, which made people more and more frightened.
Xuyi city wall has been smashed in the past two days, and Chengtou is a mess. Many places have been smashed out of the pit, and some creeks have been smashed. The smell of blood-stained corpses around them is mixed with blood. People want to vomit. At this time, Chengtou does not have many defenders, otherwise it would have been unbearable and fled to the city.
Manipulating the cannon beside a thunderbolt car, the Han people had already dumped their clothes because of the hot weather and such physical exertion. All of them were sweating and their backs were shiny. They rolled a stone bullet into the iron pocket. The motorcade in charge of this cannon looked back at the cart near their eyes and frowned. "We don’t have many stone bullets. We have to hit it on time this time!"
After listening to this, the people’s foot soldiers crashed and obeyed, rubbing their hands and manipulating them.
Han, who was in charge of releasing the rope, wound the rope arm a few times nervously and heard the team shouting "release!" Then suddenly pull the rope and listen to the "hoo!" when the throwing rod is raised. When a gust of wind looked up again, the stone bullet in the iron pocket had been thrown out, and an arc was drawn in the blue sky, falling right in the middle of the city gate hole on the wall engraved with the word "Xuyi".
The stone bullet is heavy and falls. It seems that there is a fateful wall. Although it is strong, it is a square hanging in the doorway here. It is an arched doorway. After it was hit by this stone bullet, the stone bullet also broke into several pieces. However, this wall also collapsed with a large number of broken bricks and gravel falling like rain, and soon a big stream of smoke rose!
The crumbling wall couldn’t hold on any longer, and suddenly collapsed, but the two gates stood upright because half of them were filled with ruins.
"The city is broken!" The soldiers of Jingzhou Army in front of the thunderbolt car couldn’t help cheering.
City jun soldiers are pale and scared.
"You will listen to orders!" Lu Zhao saw that the city wall collapsed at the gate, but it was not as good as getting up in panic and shouting, "Archers stand by for knives and shields, and the long gunmen follow closely and then go to the gate to refuse the enemy!"
However, Jingzhou army didn’t attack immediately after stomping on the city gate and leaving the city wall. Still, the thundercar kept throwing stone bullets. It seems that it would be willing to give up if the stone bullets were smashed and the city wall collapsed.
Chengtou observed the movement of Jingzhou army, and Cao soldiers didn’t pay attention because they were tired of avoiding the mobilization of enemy troops. They were observing whether the enemy troops were approaching the city to attack. Besides, Jingzhou army was full of flags. Who can see clearly how many people and horses there are?
Teams of Jingzhou soldiers quietly withdrew from the formation and met one after another at the invisible place of the city head, and then their respective generals led them to March to the predetermined place
At first, Lu Zhao saw that Jingzhou Army didn’t come to attack the city, and he felt a little relieved that Jingzhou Army wanted to collapse several walls before storming.
"But the north gate? Tell a captain Wu in the North Gate not to neglect and be taken advantage of by the enemy. "Lu Zhao invited a guard to go to the North Gate to check the enemy’s situation as soon as possible because he was worried about the Jingzhou army’s diversion from the East to the West."
Shortly after the bodyguard left, the cronies sent by Weizi found a way to recruit. It turned out that after the enemy fought for a while, the fire spread and blocked the road into the city. Therefore, both sides retreated to the west of the city for the time being.
After Lu Zhao learned about the situation in the west of the city, he felt a little more secure in his heart, and it was relatively easy for Jingzhou troops to defend themselves. Many people did not know that Jingzhou troops could finish the stone bullets when they broke the train, but if the stone bullets were finished, I am afraid they would face the enemy siege and fight. He is now looking forward to the sun setting early, so that he can survive tonight. For example, General Coss can lead an army to encircle Jingzhou troops.
Just thinking, I heard that there was a collapse near the south gate. I couldn’t help but feel anxious. It seems that the south gate has collapsed and Jingzhou Army has another place to storm.
"report! General, the enemy troops in the north of the city seem to be camping in the north gate for seven miles! " The guard, who was sent to the north gate to spy on the enemy, reported back to the road when he returned.
Lu Zhao nodded his head. Now that Jingzhou Army has laid siege to the north gate and set up camp to control and curb the road, it is also proper in the title. Now our own city has collapsed in two cities. It seems that the siege direction is mainly the south gate and the east gate. The enemy troops in the west of the city have always wanted to contain their own troops and attract their attention. Even if Jingzhou Army in the west of the city enters the city, it will be difficult to attack the city for a while.
At this time, he didn’t know that the Jingzhou army outside the city had secretly mobilized troops. Otherwise, he would have led the troops to kill from the city, but the Jingzhou army actually threw gravel bricks at Chengtou after the thunderbolt.
Although these rubble bricks can’t cause much damage to the city wall, their strength is not small and scattered, but they make Cao Jun afraid to go to the city to defend himself. He also has to shield the city to avoid those rubble, which is still very scary when it falls. If it is hit, it will be difficult to get hurt even if he wears a helmet.
However, as a result, the Jingzhou army failed to send troops to storm the city, and as time passed, the confidence of holding on to the city by the west road became stronger and stronger.
"I think Zhou Yubing is just too dependent on this thunderbolt car." Lu confessed to rekindle the fighting spirit of the officers and men, so he said calmly, "How can our army resist if the enemy doesn’t disperse the special warships and ride to the west of the city? It’s ridiculous that the Jingzhou army now doesn’t look at our army by relying on the siege weapon such as the thundercar. Although the city wall is damaged now, if the two armies meet, I don’t know who will win or lose! "
The lucky not dead a captain smell speech hurriedly said "what the general said is! It is difficult for Jingzhou army to rely on well-armed soldiers. Although our army is trapped in the city, it is difficult to think that General Cao’s army will be annihilated outside Xuyi City by our army if it does not withdraw! "
Although I am not as optimistic as him, I finally have a little fighting spirit and a little confidence.
Lu Zhao saw that all the people were tired, so he ordered to keep some troops to monitor the enemy’s movements, and the rest of them waited for a quick rest, so that they could fight hard when Jingzhou army stormed.
I don’t realize it’s early in the morning, but because the sky is still bright in summer, I feel anxious in my heart, but I feel more and more calm as if I were a shoo-in.
It’s easy to wait for the sky to get dark and go to the city head to monitor the enemy’s movements, but the soldiers reported a bad news. Jingzhou army didn’t seem to retreat back to camp, but the city prepared a bonfire to attack at night. "Haha, I’m afraid they won’t come!" Although Lu Zhao secretly lost his heart, he laughed face upwards and got up. The subsequent party pressed the hilt of the sword and said to the generals’ school, "If Jingzhou army retreats and goes back to camp, it’s just that, but they dare to attack the city overnight and wait for General Cao to lead an army to besiege, and the enemy will surely panic when they come by surprise!" At that time, when we get out of the city, we will be able to wipe out the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop! "
☆, Chapter sixty-five Take a break in the wild and be surrounded by enemies.
Outside the city, the Jingzhou army was preparing to attack the city at night, and the thunderbolt stopped throwing at the city head because the rubble and bricks had been exhausted, which also made Lu Zhao finally climb into the ruins of the city head and walk to the front of the city head and look up.
At this time, it was dark, but I saw dozens of people outside the city. Ma Si was faint. Chengtou Road beckoned to twist a head to see the city. Many battlements had been destroyed, and the original two-story tower had long since disappeared. Chengtou was full of rubble and broken bricks.
"Hurry up and clean up the city head. Archers defend the city!" Lu Zhao Shen ordered the road to have its own command department to act.
Soon, many Cao soldiers, civilian workers, young and strong ministries led by the school to clean up the rubble and rotten bricks in Chengtou, and several thundercars in Chengtou were dismantled from warships, and now they have become a pile of rotten wood
On the way, I was in a state of anxiety, waiting for the Jingzhou army to attack. More than 50 miles east of Xuyi, a jun team was rushing to Xuyi with torches.
The name of the general who led this 3,000-step ride on Cao Jun was Xu Xuanzi Baojian. He was born in the Haixi of Guangling, a powerful family. He once took refuge in Jiangdong in his early years and returned to the hometown of Guangling. The Haixi people rebelled. Xu Xuan led his troops to be pacified by Cao Gaoyou, and Cao Cao was ordered by Cao Ren to lead his troops from Gaoyou to Xuyi to besiege Zhou Yu’s headquarters.
"General, it’s getting late. Do you want the soldiers to set up camp and have a good rest day and night before rushing to Xuyi?" Xu Xuan PianJiang Sun Miao see the foot soldiers tired to death and fuelling steeds Xu Xuan side asked.
Xu Xuan looked back at the long queue and frowned and said, "Cao your legend asked our army to get to Xuyi City tonight. How can it be stagnant now that it is too late?"
"But even if our army gets to Xuyi City, it will certainly be exhausted. How can Jingzhou Army take up the battle?" Sun Miao urged bitterly, "It’s more than fifty miles away and it’s afraid to walk for two or three hours in the dark to get to the soldiers. It’s very tiring to March in the hot sun during the day. If you don’t take a night off, I’m afraid …"
Xu Xuan bridled his steed and said, "In this case, he will rest for half an hour." Seeing Sun Miao, he will persuade Xu Xuan to raise his hand and stop it. "Don’t say it again! I don’t know if the soldiers are very tired after days of traveling. It’s a mountain of military orders. I can do my best. "
Although it was half an hour’s rest, the men were still quite happy after listening to the military orders. It was very hard to travel in June. At night, they could camp, have a hot meal and have a good sleep. But who knew that Xu Xuan actually wanted everyone to travel overnight? After suddenly stopping, everyone sat down and said nothing and didn’t want to move again. Some people fell to the ground and slept in the wilderness, and they saw the men stagger and snore one after another.
Xu Xuan turned over the horse and felt sore all over. The guards led the horse to collect sweat and feed him, and he found a place to sit at will.
Tonight is the full moon, and the moonlight is quite bright. Xu Xuan turned his head to see a sparse forest dozens of feet away from the left side of the road, and a wild grass was dense on the right side. When a night wind blew, he saw the weeds undulating with the wind. He turned his head and was about to look out of the corner of his eye, but he seemed to catch a glimpse of a cold light.
Xu Xuan heart a fiercely hurriedly got up to Shirley yelling just listen to a burst of dense arrows broken from the left and right sides suddenly sounded!
Standing beside Xu Xuan, the guards with a genial smile that they rushed at Xu Xuan and pulled him down. Before Xu Xuan struggled to get up, the arrow roared closer and closer, and soon they fell down, followed by screaming and screaming after the men were shot in the arrow.
"Kill!" After shouting and killing sounded, Xu Xuancai stood up with the help of guards and saw many enemies fighting on both sides of the road. I don’t know how many enemies rushed up and Cao Jun soldiers could resist.
The man who took the steed was shot in the leg by an arrow, but he still brought the steed back. The guards hurriedly helped Xu Xuan with the steed.
Sun Miao is not far from Xu Xuan. At this time, he hurried over and said to Xu Xuan, "General, there is an ambush in our army! It seems that the Jingzhou army has long been unaware of the number of enemy troops! "
Xu Xuan was shocked to see that the enemy score team had cut off the department a few times, knowing that it was difficult to gather all the people at this time, but if he fled, I am afraid that more than 3,000 troops would lose their opponents.
"What should the general do now?" A captain look frightened blunt come over to Xu Xuanda asked.
The soldiers spent a lot of time on their way, so it was very generous to take a break here. Who would have thought that there would be an ambush in Jingzhou? Therefore, no scouts were sent to the front, back, left and right sides, and no defense was arranged. Many people were awakened after falling asleep, but before they touched their swords and spears, they were rushed to kill Jingzhou army and cut the ground.
"The enemy has a large number of raiders. General, let’s go to Xuyi first!" Sun Miao saw that Jingzhou army rushed into his own team and hacked and killed indiscriminately, but it was not surrounded by the enemy here, so he quickly said to Xu Xuan
Xu Xuan is not a military commander. Let him lead troops to fight the rebels, but he is not the director. At this time, he was filled with panic and immediately nodded after hearing Sun Miao’s words. "Come on! Go quickly! "
