The Xiliang army's scolding methods were also well-trained. Not to mention Xiahou Dun, no matter how good-hearted he was, he would get angry if he was scolded like this.
"Sir, let me go out of the city to fight them." Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth.
"General, no, have you forgotten what we discussed before?" The counselor said: "The Xiliang army is cunning. The previous battle seemed fair and square. There may be many soldiers ambush in secret. The elite cavalry can do something at any time.
reaction."
This time fighting Cao Jun, all the Xiliang Army cavalry felt unprecedentedly relaxed. Yes, the enemy was a shrunken snail, allowing them to practice their eloquence in vain.
With the arrival of Huang Zhong's army, the stalemate on the battlefield was broken down. Huang Zhong's army brought not only food and grass, but also a variety of siege equipment, well-made thunderbolt chariots, shocking wells and enemy sights.
The fearful heavy infantry.
The order issued by Jia Rong was very simple. He was to capture Hanoi with a thunderous force, making Cao Cao feel fearful and determined by the Xiliang army, thus strengthening the defense of Dongjun and preparing for the army to secretly attack Yuzhou.
"Let the officers and soldiers of the three armies be prepared. Tomorrow we will attack the county and city. We must defeat them in one battle and make the Xiliang Army famous." Huang Zhongduan sat at the head of the Chinese army tent and said calmly.
Huang Zhong was confident enough to defeat the county city in one battle. As for how tight the defense in the city was, it was of no use to Huang Zhong. Before coming, Jia Rong gave Huang Zhong the secret weapon developed by the craftsman's workshop.
The purpose is to cause fear and unrest in Cao's army.
The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. The defenders on the city were already in full formation, with swords and spears standing tall and bows and arrows cocked. They stared at the army outside the city with bright eyes to welcome the Xiliang army's first siege.
"The whole army is on alert, and all the huge wooden rocks, arrows and other consumable items are ready to give the Xiliang army a severe blow."
The army felt the fierce defensive posture of Cao's army, which caused the Xiliang army's offensive to collapse.
The rumbling war drums sounded, and with Huang Zhong's order, the thunderbolt chariots and the crossbow chariots slowly came forward. When they were three hundred steps away from the city wall, the crossbow chariots stopped, and the crossbow arrows flew to the city one after another.
The defenders could not help but shrink their heads when they saw such weapons.
The obstruction of the cowhide makes the crossbow arrow useless to a certain extent, but the effect is not very great. A powerful crossbow arrow can even directly penetrate the cowhide.
After the Thunderbolt Car approached the city wall, it also began to show off its power. Stones as big as washbasins were thrown at the city wall, causing the people in the city to scream in agony.
Huang Zhong's eyes did not focus on the unparalleled power of these siege equipment, but on the ten soldiers dressed in black together with the siege soldiers. These ten soldiers were the real main force in the siege.
The three secret weapons in his hands are enough to completely blow open the city gate.
Watching the ten soldiers heading towards the city gate without hesitation, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart. If the city gate was destroyed, these ten soldiers would also die. These are the soldiers in the army who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of victory.
Even though he knew that there was a dead end ahead, he still had no fear.
Their posthumous affairs have been arranged for a long time, and their names have even been engraved on the hero monument. These people already have all the honors that a soldier can get. This is why many soldiers are willing to fight for the victory of the army.
They have their own beliefs about the cause of death.
"Heavy cavalry is ready." Huang Zhong said coldly.
Five hundred heavy cavalry slowly stepped forward and appeared in front of the army. At the same time, the heartstrings of all the soldiers were tense.
Heavy cavalry is the strongest on the battlefield. A heavy cavalry can bring about such a bloody storm. Not to mention infantry, even cavalry will retreat when they see it. Unless light cavalry exceeds the heavy infantry in speed, once it gets close,
, they can only wait for death, and the heavy infantry and even the horses are equipped with armor.
"General, the Xiliang army has dispatched heavy cavalry?" the counselor asked. Although large rocks were thrown onto the city 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 again? Don't forget, our army also has thunderbolt chariots. Once the siege soldiers approach, they will immediately start firing, so that the Xiliang army can also see the power of our army.
Xiahou Dun said through gritted teeth.
Anyone who sees such casualties will be furious. The defenders of the city have not even seen the shadow of the enemy, and they are suppressed to the point where they cannot lift their heads. In such a battle, any military commander will feel very aggrieved.
.
Ten lightly armored soldiers approached the city gate and quickly waved the tools in their hands. The solid ground soon became pitted. The tools in the hands of these soldiers were all made of fine steel, not to mention cutting iron like mud.
, is also extremely sharp.
The siege of the city lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Xiahou Dun felt that the city wall under his feet was constantly shaking. He almost fell down when he lost his footing. The defenders on the city were even more twisted, and there was no formation at all.
His ears were ringing and his mind was dizzy. Xiahou Dun looked around in confusion, and then several soldiers hurriedly carried him away.
Not to mention the defenders on the city, even the siege team was shocked. The secret weapon was more powerful this time. This was also the result of the concerted efforts of the craftsmen in the workshop. Pu Yuan, as the organizer, has made outstanding contributions, otherwise it would not be possible.
He will not receive huge rewards after the founding of the country.
The moment the city gate exploded, the cavalry that had been ready to go rushed towards the city gate, killing the unresponsive Cao Jun and fleeing. The four city gates were quickly occupied, announcing the fall of Hanoi County.
All the food and supplies in the city belonged to the Xiliang Army.
In the first battle, Hanoi County was captured and more than 10,000 Cao's troops were captured. It was a great victory. Huang Zhong sent fast horses to Luoyang to win the battle, and commanded his soldiers to continue to advance forward. Cao Jun deployed heavy troops in various counties.
, in order to act as a buffer when the Xiliang Army raised troops one day. Unexpectedly, the heavily defended Hanoi County was breached first, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
When two thousand troops attacked Wudejuan County, the county magistrate and defenders in the city were frightened by the speed of the Xiliang army's attack, and they immediately opened the city gate and surrendered.
When Cao Cao learned about the situation in Hanoi County, the Xiliang army had already attacked Yuanwu. As long as Yuanwu was occupied, he could attack Yanzhou East County.
Before Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, he was the prefect of Dongjun, and he was quite famous in Dongjun. In addition, he governed the place fairly, and officials committed the same crimes as the common people. He also won a lot of people's support, and the defense of Dongjun also improved.
He can be ranked second in Yanzhou.
The city walls more than three feet high and the wide moat alone made the enemy scared, so they could not even talk about attacking. However, this was not a big problem for the Xiliang Army. The heavily defended Hanoi County was defeated in one battle.
, Dongjun’s solid defense is unbelievable.
"I didn't expect that the Xiliang army had already captured Hanoi County and is now attacking Yuanwu. General Xiahou is struggling to support Yuanwu. What good ideas do you have?" Cao Cao's tone was calm. There was already a storm in his heart. What a speed this is.
It seems that Cao Cao is advancing all the way. The defense of Hanoi County is very clear to Cao Cao. There are more than 30,000 defenders alone, including more than 10,000 defenders of the county. Even if the Xiliang Army sends 100,000 troops, it will not be enough.
It can be captured overnight.
"My lord, the walls of Dongjun City are thick and the moat is wide. Our current plan is to think about how to resist the powerful weapons of the Xiliang Army." Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed with wisdom.
"Yes, it is said that this kind of weapon of the Xiliang Army can directly open the city gate. The city wall will shake. The soldiers on it can't stand firm before the cavalry has already entered the city. If this kind of weapon of the Xiliang Army is difficult to
If you think of corresponding measures, Yanzhou will be in danger." Mao Jie agreed.
Cao Cao nodded slightly, "I don't know about this. I don't know who helped the Xiliang army to have such a sharp weapon."
"My lord, the Xiliang army captured Hanoi because their weapons were superior to others, 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 destroy the city wall directly.
"Cheng Yu said slowly.
"This is a great plan. Immediately send an order to Cao Zhen and Liu Ye to completely block the city gate to prevent the Xiliang army from attacking the city." Cao Cao ordered.
"My lord, what should I do with General Xiahou who is resisting the Xiliang army in Yuanwu?"
"Let him return to the army and Jiyin."
In Yuanwu City, Xiahou Dun struggled to hold on. The Xiliang army did not use the weapons that could make the city walls tremble violently and the city gates lose. The offensive was still not something Yuanwu could resist. The Yuanwu city walls were low and there were only three thousand defenders in the city.
If multiple people can withstand the attack for three days, they have already reached their limit.
If you don't fight against the Xiliang army, you will never understand how intimidating they are. They are all equipped with high-quality weapons and have high morale. They will never retreat until the sound of gold is heard in the middle army, and they will not retreat under orders and prohibitions. Such a team is definitely the best among all
The enemy's nightmare.
Before seeing the Xiliang Army, Xiahou Dun had always believed that the Xiliang Army was at most equal to Cao's army, and that the combat effectiveness of the two sides was evenly matched. After all, in recent years, Cao's army had been marching east and west in the Central Plains, and it would be conquered if they attacked, which gave his soldiers sufficient supplies.
His confidence destroyed the will of all enemies, but in front of the Xiliang army, this confidence was gradually disintegrated.
"General, more than five hundred soldiers died yesterday, and countless people were injured. Yuanwu will fall in less than a day." A general walked quickly in front of Xiahou Dun, and spoke of the losses among the generals.
During the battle on that day, every soldier in the army was in awe of Xiahou Dun. Such a person would be like a madman in the face of battle, ignoring the injuries on his body. In the past three days, Xiahou Dun had more than ten injuries on his body.
Although it is not heavy, it still gives people a shocking feeling.
