Cao Dabai rode his horse to the front of the formation, raised his head and looked at Xiongguan Yong in front of him.
Shangyong City, which is entirely built of bluestone, is more than seven feet high. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It makes people look up to it. It makes people sigh that the manpower is sometimes poor.
The Xiahou brothers were beside Cao Dabai's face. The tall and burly Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, don't worry. I will lead all my sons to attack the city immediately. The prime minister will definitely enter Shangyong City within three days at most."
Cao Dabai shook his head.
"Three days is too long. I will give you half a day at most. Yuan Rang, can you do it?"
Xiahou Dun was stunned and speechless.
long time?
With the city gates wide open, it would take half a day for 30,000 troops to enter the city!
Cao Dabai squeezed out a smile and patted Xiahou Dun on the shoulder: "Yuan Rang, isn't this task a bit difficult?"
Xiahou Dun puffed out his chest and said, "Let's see how someone breaks through the city and enters the pass."
After saying that, he strode around and left, commanding his troops to start attacking the city.
Yan Yan did not expect that after Cao's army arrived, they did not even take any rest, and then swarmed up and began to attack the city. He could not help stroking his sparse long beard and frowning and asked: "Senior Cao's soldiers don't know what it means to be exhausted?"
No one can answer this question.
Each of the 30,000 troops brought out by Cao Dabai Lian was a loyal soldier who had followed him for several years. Countless money was poured out, and the soldiers' families and relatives had been properly settled, and no one had any worries anymore.
From the moment they left home, no one in Cao's army thought about how to survive.
There is only one target in front of him, and that is where Prime Minister Cao's sword is pointing. He must approach the city and destroy it. Kill the enemy when encountering them. Kill one to earn your base, kill two to earn one.
His life was no longer his own. From the time he left Yingchuan, he belonged to Prime Minister Cao alone. But he had orders and he had no fear of being shattered to pieces.
Under Shangyong City, countless Cao soldiers carried ladders and siege trees, and silently and quickly attacked.
There was no cry to kill, no shouting, and there were no war drums or waving flags in the army.
Everything was silent as if it were a pantomime.
But the boundless murderous aura seemed to be real, layer by layer, wrapping up the Shu army in Shangyong City with difficulty breathing and sweating like rain.
Yan Yan's heart was sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking...
He knew that he could not continue like this. If he continued like this, without Cao's army attacking the city, the morale of the Shangyong City defenders would be robbed, and their combat strength would be reduced to less than 50% of the usual level.
He raised his arms and shouted wildly: "Young men, fight down these enemy troops who have invaded my territory. Who are you? You are the most elite and powerful army under my command, Yan Yan. You have never been defeated, never lost, and never afraid.
Kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!”
From the top of the city, sparse arrows began to shoot downwards.
Soon after, a soldier of Cao's army was hit by an arrow.
He fell to the ground.
Immediately, there were loud cheers on top of the city. It turned out that the enemy was just silent, but they were not demons who could not speak.
Arrows rained down like hail, constantly raining down on the city.
One of Sergeant Cao's soldiers continued to fall, and his companions silently stepped forward to take over their comrades' positions, without hesitation, and their charge never stopped for a moment.
The most difficult thing in the siege battle was how to rush to the top of the city. When the first ladder successfully reached the top of the city, Xiahou Dun was the first to rush up with his gun.
The rolling logs and rocks that kept falling on the city were blocked by Xiahou Dun one by one, and soon he was the first to climb onto the wall of Shangyong City.
Yan Yan roared angrily and swung his knife to kill Xiahou Dun.
A more bloody battle for the city began.
Half a day passed.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Le Jin all once attacked the city, but were defeated again by Yan Yan's counterattacks.
Even if the Xiahou brothers are more powerful than Yan Yan, so what? The siege battle is no better than a one-on-one fight. When Yan Yan can't resist the enemy, his subordinates will naturally surround him and start a group fight.
A good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves, and a good man cannot stand up to a pack of wolves.
Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and others all rubbed their fists and stamped their feet, only regretting that they were not generals and could not go to the city to kill the enemy in person.
Time is getting tighter and Lin Jun may attack at any time.
Although Cao's army lacked information on Lin Feng's movements at this time, Cao Dabailian could say with certainty that Lin Feng would never let him take his leisure to seize the important territory of Western Shu.
He is now competing with Lin Feng for time and betting on fate.
Once Lin's army is blocked at the foot of Shangyong City, it will be a big deal.
No army in this world can withstand the attack led by Lin Feng himself.
With Lin Feng as an arrow, no matter which army is behind him, it will become the most terrifying killing machine in the world, invincible and unstoppable.
Cao Dabai's eyes finally turned to Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian beside him.
From the beginning, Cao Cao never trusted Lü Bu. As early as when he was chasing the rebels in the northwest, Cao Cao had dealt with Lü Bu.
He knew that although Lu Bu was brave on the battlefield, he was ambitious, talented, loyal and fickle, and was not a controllable general.
Lu Bu first served as Ding Yuan's general and followed Dong Zhuo. He immediately fell out with Ding Yuan and personally led an army to attack Bingzhou. Wang Yun lightly persuaded him to rebel, and he fought with Dong Zhuo. In Wang Yun's most difficult stage, just because
With just a few words, Kong Rong abandoned Wang Yun and joined Cao Ying. It can be seen that if Cao Cao is slightly negligent, Lu Bu may counterattack at any time.
Now that Shangyong City is in a hurry and difficult to get off, it's time to use Lu Fengxian, the unparalleled one in the world.
After receiving the order, Lu Bu took over Le's sequence of attacking the city, climbed up the ladder, brandished the newly made halberd, and rushed towards the top of the city.
Soon Cao Cao was the only one left
Full of disappointment.
Although Lu Bu was superb in martial arts, he didn't have the fighting spirit of Cao Ying's generals!
Whether it was the Xiahou brothers or Cao Ren Lejin, each of them risked their lives and refused to step back from the city until their robes were stained with blood and their bodies were injured.
After Lü Bu ascended the city, he easily defeated Yan Yan, but when countless Shu troops swarmed up, Lü Bu screamed strangely, danced his halberd to drive back the enemies around him, turned around and fled down the top of Shangyong City.
Cao Chun, Lu Qian and other generals came to Cao Dabai's face to ask for battle. Even Xiahou En, the young general of the Xiahou family, came forward and knelt in silence.
Cao Dabai choked with sobs and raised his head as hard as he could to prevent the tears from rolling down his eyes.
Cao Cao pulled out the seven-star sword from his waist with a clanging sound. Cao Cao finally couldn't hold back his tears and gurgled down the long beard under his chin.
"Young men, our army is now in dire straits. We cannot capture Shangyong City before sunset, and we may be attacked and killed by Lin's army at any time. I personally went to the city to kill the enemy today. All the Zepao who died in the battle are not scattered in the sky. Take Shangyong City."
Yong, I will build the Martyrs' Shrine here, which will be maintained throughout the four seasons, and three pillars of incense will be offered to you every day. If I have not conquered Shangyong, I will sleep here with you, walk in formation under the nine springs, ride the waves and sing loudly, which is not a bad thing.
Happy things in life.”
After saying that, Cao Dabai faced and waved his sword and led all his guards to attack Shangyong City.
Behind him, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and other civil servants all shouted in unison, silently drew their swords from their waists, and strode after Cao Cao, also with tears streaming down their faces.
Cao Jun went crazy.
From the moment Cao Dabailian led all the civil servants to attack the city, all Cao's troops went crazy.
From time to time, the seriously injured Cao Jun could be seen jumping down from the top of Shangyong City with the intact Shu army in his arms. At the same time, he was so bloody that he could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Xiahou Dun, who had always been reckless, tore off his upper body shirt, screamed wildly with his upper body naked, and stepped onto the ladder before Cao Dabai's face with a ferocious expression.
All the defensive equipment that attacked Cao Cao were blocked by Xiahou Dun with all his strength.
The big gun swung away the rolling logs, smashed the rocks with his left fist, even used his head to push the ash bag, and bit the flying arrows with his teeth.
On another ladder next to Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan said nothing and used his gun and sword to block. If that didn't work, he used his limbs and his body to block all the attacks for Cao Dabai's face.
Cao Mengde actually actually attacked Shangyong City. Behind him were countless soldiers and advisers of Cao's army who had abandoned their minds and only knew how to kill the enemy.
Cheng Yu screamed strangely, shook off the obstructive cloud shoes under his feet, and followed closely behind Cao Cao with his bare feet. His eyes were so fierce that they were so wide that they even had bloodshot eyes dripping from the corners.
How could Xun You still have the elegance of the Yingchuan scribe? The raised sword blade reflected the light of blood, and there was a trace of the flesh and blood of the enemy soldier hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Chen Gong was hit by two arrows at some point, and was held up by two personal guards. He was still shouting to kill the enemy, and from time to time he would fly to kick the enemy, completely ignoring the dense forest of swords and guns on the opposite side.
