Under Quyang City, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Gan Ning sat astride the night sky, frowning and looking out, with a deep look of worry on his face. His sword-shaped eyebrows were tightly knitted, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was holding a long sword tightly.
"Bo Miao, how about we rush in?"
"No!"
Deng Zhi quickly stopped him. Seeing Gan Ning's bad expression, he quickly explained, "It's not that I won't charge, but that I can't charge now. The battle in Quyang has just begun, and the Xiapi Army's formation has not been scattered yet, and their morale is high. It's difficult for us to charge the camp now."
Confusing them won't do much."
“Then when can we rush to camp?”
"Wait a minute!" Deng Zhi said softly: "Youxue is not taking things easy. Although the Xiapi Army's offensive is fierce, it may not be easy to break the city. We must be patient now and wait until the morale of the Xiapi Army drops.
, and then attack again, which will surely relieve the pressure on Quyang."
Gan Ning thought for a while and finally agreed with Deng Zhi's idea.
The faint shouts of killing coming from the direction of Quyang City stimulated Gan Ning's nerves. Gan Ning wished he could fight side by side with Cao Peng in Quyang City at this moment. Although he couldn't see the tragic fighting scene, he could
He could feel the thick smell of blood.
However, what Deng Zhi said was correct.
Cao Peng ordered him to respond outside the city, not because he wanted him to act recklessly.
Gan Ning has never been a reckless person, and he also knows that if he wants to share the pressure for Qu Yang, he must find the right time.
Acting recklessly will only result in a disastrous failure.
He didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands. Putting all the horses together, including Cao Peng's Zhao Yebai, there were only 386 horses. Gan Ning couldn't afford to hurt him! He knew very well that he
Every charge must be just right, otherwise it will be in vain.
Suppressing his penis, Gan Ning gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head.
"Order the scouts to continue to investigate, and be sure to pay attention to the battle situation in Quyang at all times."
"Here!"
Deng Zhi surrendered and accepted the order.
Gan Ning turned around to visit Qu Yang again on his horse. After a while, he sighed and urged his horse to leave.
"Fire the arrow!"
Cao Peng stood on the top of the city and roared.
Rows of archers fired arrows at the enemy soldiers under the city like rain. At the foot of the city wall, ten trebuchets fired wildly at the enemy soldiers.
Stones flew out with a roar and fell to the ground, making a dull sound.
The two arrow shields were knocked over by stones and fell to the ground. Several soldiers were pressed under the arrow shield vehicles and let out shrill wails...
In just two or three hours, the Xiapi Army had launched wave after wave of ferocious attacks.
Cao Peng relied on the strong city to hold on, but the casualties continued to increase. One side carried a large number of siege equipment, and the other side was prepared in advance. Although the Xiapi army had the advantage in numbers, with the strong city and high walls, Quyang
Always standing tall.
It's just that the Xiapi Army's attack was too violent!
As a result, more than fifty soldiers on the city were killed or injured.
Cao Peng and Zhou Cang ran back and forth on the top of the city, shouting loudly to encourage the soldiers. But in fact, including Cao Peng, they were also shocked by the ferocity of the Xiapi army.
"Trebuchet, eject!"
Cao Peng ran to the crenellations of the horse wall and shouted towards the city.
Before he finished speaking, a trebuchet suddenly fell apart. The continuous projectiles had already made the trebuchet somewhat overwhelmed.
"Sir, why hasn't Xingba taken action yet?"
Zhou Cang's face was stained with blood and he rushed to Cao Peng and shouted.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry... Xingba and the others will also look for opportunities. When the time comes, they will naturally inflict heavy losses on the bandits."
Zhou Cang spat, turned around and ran back without saying a word.
Cao Peng exhaled a breath of turbid air. Three hours of non-stop fierce fighting made her breath filled with blood. She scooped out a ladle of water from the bucket in the corner of the city wall and drank it all in one gulp.
It makes the burning throat feel much better.
"Sir, be careful."
Before the water ladle was put down, a stone flew from the bottom of the city to the top of the city with a roar.
Chu Ge rushed up and threw Cao Peng to the ground. The stone hit the bucket, and the huge bucket immediately fell into pieces. The water flowed along the cracks in the bluestone at the top of the city, and quickly merged with the blood on the ground.
Water holes flow out.
Cao Peng got up and wiped the mud on his face.
He smiled at Chu Ge, and just as he was about to thank him, he heard someone shouting: "The ladder is building a wall, the ladder is building a wall!"
More than ten ladders were slammed against the city wall!
Cao Peng suddenly felt a headache.
Building a wall with a ladder means that the opponent has found his own weakness. From the previous long-range shooting, it has been converted into a frontal melee...
Cao Peng was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and in the small space at the head of the city of Quyang, it was difficult for the Xiapi Army to accumulate too many men.
But the problem is, there are only so many people on our side. If you lose one, you will lose one... This is the most troublesome thing for Cao Peng.
"Destroyed their ladder."
Cao Peng didn't bother to thank Chu Ge and rushed to the crenellations of the city wall.
A Xiapi soldier just stuck his head out. Cao Peng did not hesitate and chopped off the head of the Xiapi soldier with a swing of his knife. The headless corpse fell straight from the ladder, but the blood splattered on Cao Peng.
Cao Peng didn't bother to wipe Peng's face. As soon as he stepped forward, he saw a spear sticking out from outside the crenel. He quickly dodged and saw a soldier, who had climbed onto the crenel and jumped to the top of the city.
.
"First to board, first to board..."
The Pi soldiers under the city immediately shouted loudly.
But before they could finish shouting, a dead body flew down from the city and fell to the ground with its head first, its brains bursting out.
However, if one person gets there first, there will be a second one, a third one, a fourth one...
"Zhou Cang, keep shooting arrows!"
Cao Peng shouted loudly, and immediately took Chu Ge and ran along the walkway at the top of the city.
The broadsword in his hand slashed fiercely again and again, cutting down the Xiapi soldiers who tried to intercept him, and fell into a pool of blood. About a moment after burning the incense, a loud bang was suddenly heard from below the city. A ladder was broken, and dozens of people were killed.
Then Pi Bing fell down from the ladder...
"If they can't survive anymore, kill them!"
Cao Peng shouted quickly, and the Haixi soldiers on the city immediately boosted their morale.
In this way, the two sides went back and forth, and the Xiapi soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and soon Cao Peng led his men to drive them down; they rushed up again, and then drove them down again. They fought like a saw again and again, and the battle lasted for nearly an hour.
In the barracks, there was finally a sound of gongs.
The soldiers of Xiapi have withdrawn their troops!
Cao Peng plopped down in the bloody water, breathing heavily.
The hour just now was nothing less than a test of life and death for Cao Peng.
He had to concentrate and didn't dare to relax even a little bit. But as time went by, he felt inexplicably tired. A burst of cheers and joy rang out from the top of the city. This was accompanied by screams and wails, which seemed particularly harsh. Cao
Peng gathered enough energy to stand up from the bloody water, walked behind the city wall again, held on to the crenel, raised his eyes and looked down at the Pi soldiers' camp. Unknowingly, the setting sun was like blood...
Outside Xiapi City, there was a thick smell of blood.
According to the rules, both sides will collect the dead bodies. When clearing the battlefield, attacks are generally not allowed.
Of course, Cao Peng doesn't have the ability to launch an attack!
Cao Peng took a breath, and the smell of blood came out of his lungs, making Cao Peng almost spit it out.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a bloody scene. After counting the number of people, he found that more than a hundred people had been lost in most of the day!
"Sir, how about bringing in some more troops?"
Cao Peng shook his head, "It's not appropriate to allocate people on the first day.
I guess it’s not over yet today. Look at those Xiapi dogs who haven’t returned to camp yet. It’s very likely that Chen Gong will continue to attack.”
"Night fight?"
"It's not impossible!"
Cao Peng coughed lightly and spit out thick phlegm.
There was some blood in the thick phlegm...
"Let everyone take the time to rest. After the Xia Pi Dog has finished resting, the attack will be more violent."
"Here!"
Cao Peng stood silently on the top of the city.
He was not too tall, but his figure was as straight as a javelin. When the people around him saw Cao Peng's appearance, they felt calm for some reason. In the bloody battle just now, Cao Peng at least
He killed more than a dozen people, not including the other party's generals.
Despite his young age, his skills have convinced everyone.
Looking at the setting sun, which dyed the earth blood red, Cao Peng's heart was not at peace.
In less than a day, he and Chen Gong had exchanged hands several times. Chen Gong's show of force and Cao Peng's stealthy tactics resulted in a draw.
After a whole day of fierce fighting, the two sides were tied again.
Next, it’s my turn to win!
I just don’t know how you, Chen Gongtai, will resolve it?
"Sir, Wen Gui has reported that they suffered quite a lot of casualties. More than thirty people died in the battle, and nearly eighty people can no longer fight."
Not only was Cao Peng under great pressure, Pan Zhang and Deng Fan were also under great pressure.
"Order Wang Xu to transfer a hundred people from the West Campus."
"What about our side?"
"There will be no recruitment of manpower for the time being."
"Here!"
Cao Peng banged his foot on the wall and stared at the Pi army's camp.
He knew that Chen Gong must also be in the military formation at this time, looking towards the top of the city. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed his thumb down at Xia Pi Jun, with a cold smile on his face.
He knew that Chen Gong would definitely be able to see it!
It was not dark yet, but the Xiapi army lit torches.
The setting sun, the firelight, and the blood-colored earth gave Quyang City an even more mysterious and solemn charm. Chen Gong tightly grasped the car rail with one hand, his knuckles turning white. On his fair face,
With a look of perseverance, his eyes looked solemn.
I didn't expect that this small Quyang City would be so resilient.
Yes, Cao Peng lost nearly 200 men, but the number of casualties of the Xiapi army was equally astonishing, almost twice that of Qu Yang.
In addition, Cao Peng stole the camp last night, and the number of casualties in the Xiapi army exceeded hundreds.
However, for Chen Gong, he could still afford these casualties. The 8,000-strong army suffered 600 casualties, less than 10% of the casualties.
However, the number of casualties in Quyang was close to 20%.
See how long you can hold on!
Chen Gong could not clearly see the gesture made by Cao Peng, but he knew that it was definitely not a good word.
"Military advisor, that boy is so arrogant."
Lu Ji urged his horse forward and stopped beside Chen Gong's carriage. He gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, let me get on... I swear to take the head of that little thief."
"Young Master, please be patient and don't be impatient."
Regardless of whether Lu Bu wanted to see Lu Ji or not, Chen Gong would still respect Lu Ji as "Young Lord" in front of others.
He smiled and said, "That kid just defeated us once, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant. However, he will not be arrogant for long. When his momentum subsides, the Young Lord can attack again and defeat him in one fell swoop."
Lu Ji heard this and nodded repeatedly.
Chen Gongtai is still willing to think about me... If I inherit the family business in the future, I will definitely use this person.
This little thought in Lu Ji's heart meant that Chen Gong didn't know how to manage money. Looking at the sky, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it in the air.
"attack!"
In an instant, the war drums rumbled, and the shouts of killing began again.
With the crunching sound of the trebuchet, each stone drew a perfect parabola and flew towards the head of Quyang City.
The archers all fired arrows like rain.
After a moment of rest, the soldiers of Xiapi launched a ferocious attack on Quyang City. Lugong vehicles and arrow-blocking vehicles marched on the battlefield. The soldiers of Xiapi hid behind the arrow-blocking vehicles and slowly moved towards
The city wall of Quyang moved closer. At the same time, a secret rain of arrows was shot from the top of the city again. Balls of fireballs flew out of the city and landed on the ground with a dull sound. Two burning stones collided in the air, and... sparks scattered.
, like the brilliant fireworks over the battlefield. The shouts of killing echoed in the sky, making people's hearts beat with fear.
Chen Gong ordered the chariot to advance a hundred steps and stop, and the Chinese army approached Quyang.
He was about to give another order when he suddenly heard a burst of commotion from the rear army... followed by people shouting and horses neighing, and the rear army became a mess.
"what's going on?"
"Reporting to the military advisor, there are enemy soldiers, and enemy soldiers are attacking the camp."
The herald rushed forward, panting, and reported to Chen Gong.
Lu Ji's face changed drastically when he heard this, he turned his horse's head, took off his halberd, and shouted sternly: "My sons, follow me to meet the enemy!"
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Gong suddenly stopped Lu Ji and turned to look at the rear army.
He smiled...
Cao Peng, you dare to use such a trivial skill? Why are you so tough? It turns out that we have already made arrangements. We divide our troops into mutual horns. Do you want to use this method to delay my offensive and relieve the pressure on Qu Yang?
Humph, it's a pity how many troops and horses you have in your hands? The main force is in Quyang County, so the number of troops outside the city is probably only a handful. If you want to rely on such a small force, you have to hold me back... If your troops can be more powerful
If there are more than 5,000 people, I will definitely feel embarrassed. It's a pity...
"Military advisor, why don't you go to the rescue?"
"The strategy of dividing the troops is just to relieve the pressure on Quyang."
Chen Gong sneered and said: "I won't be fooled... Pass my order and order the rear army to form a formation and defend it. I don't believe that they dare to charge into my army camp."
Rushing into battle requires extremely brave and brave generals.
If it were Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, Chen Gong would definitely not dare to let it go.
He drew out his sword, waved it in the air, and shouted sternly: "The three armies continue to attack the city. I only want Quyang to attack the city for me, attack the city!"
In an instant, the shouts of death became louder and louder.
Lu Ji sat astride the horse and turned to look at the rear army.
He pondered for a moment and said softly: "Military advisor, otherwise... I will take someone over to have a look, and at least we can stabilize the position."
