Chapter 155(1/2)
: Breaking the City
Bison Ferry.
Pei Yuanshao rushed over and said hurriedly: "Boqi, Zhou Cang is looking for it."
"Where are people?"
"Lord, Zhou Cang is here."
As Ma Yue finished speaking, Zhou Cang's full of energy suddenly sounded in front of him. Looking up, four soldiers were walking quickly with Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang had a feather arrow inserted on his left shoulder, and a heavy Fang Tian Hua Ji was carried on his right shoulder. His whole battle robe was wet, and he was obviously just climbing up from the water.
Zhou Cang struggled to bow to the ground and said guiltily: "Lord, Zhou Cang has disappointed you. Lu Bu has rescued you and only snatched his Fang Tian Hua Ji here."
Ma Yue quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Cang up and said in a narrow voice: "Get up quickly, Lu Bu's escape has nothing to do with you, you have tried your best."
Pei Yuanshao, Guan Hai, and Zhou Cang followed Ma Yue to Nanyang from the beginning, which was a life-long friendship that came out of blood and fire! Ma Yue also had a different kind of guilt towards Zhou Cang. Ma Yue couldn't bear to have Pei Yuanshao, and Guan Hai went to execute it, so he could only choose Zhou Cang. He was in a state of closeness and distant feeling. After all, Zhou Cang joined the 800 bandits a little later than Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai.
But Zhou Cang never complained, and he went with great pleasure every time he took on the heavy responsibility of death. Fortunately, Zhou Cang turned bad luck into good luck every time, and was safe and sound. He was really a blessing. Although Ma Yue was cold-blooded, he didn't blink a single eye to kill, but that was against the enemy!
"Come here." Ma Yue said quickly, "Look for the Suijun Doctor to heal Zhou Cang."
Zhou Cang said anxiously: "Lord, Zhou Cang is not in trouble."
Ma Yue held Zhou Cang's right shoulder and said in a voice: "Zhou Cang, take good care of his injuries, this is a military order!"
"Uh~~ obey the order."
"Come here, take General Zhou Cang down to treat his injuries."
Four soldiers took the order and carried Zhou Cang away.
Ma Yue watched Zhou Cang leave and secretly swore in his heart, Zhou Cang, from now on, I will not let you take on dangerous tasks again! When the future, when the general seizes the grassland, he will divide the entire desert into three pieces, and the left side is given to Pei Yuanshao, the middle is left to Guan Hai's son, and the right side is given to you, descendants, and hereditary!
"Report~~" suddenly rushed over and said sternly, "Lord, Meiji urgently reported!"
"Um!?"
"Meiji?"
Ma Yue and Jia Xu's face changed at the same time. Ma Yue waved his hand and the soldiers gathered around dispersed.
Ju Tu gasped and said, "Lord, my army entered the sea of death. General Liao Hua sent ten fast horses to search everywhere. It was not until half an hour ago that he met the explorer sent by General Mo."
"Stop talking nonsense, what's wrong with Meiji?"
"The fast horse sent by General Liao Hua said that in Linrong, Mayi, a large group of Han troops were found at the same time. The Linrong Han troops were all cavalry, with a total of 30,000 cavalry, and the Mayi Han troops had 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry."
Jia Xu said in a narrow voice: "The Han army in Linrong must be the coalition of Geng Bi and Dong Zhuo, while the Han army in Mayi is Han Fu's army!"
Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "How many days ago is this news?"
Ju Tu replied: "Ten days ago."
"Ten days ago?"
Ma Yue exclaimed, his eyebrows frowned in an instant.
Jia Xu took a breath and whispered: "There are only 800 miles away from Meiji in Linrong, and the Meiji in Mayi is less than 400 miles away. Within ten days, the two armies were probably already killed in Meiji City. Hey, I don't know if the Gong Ze has repaired Meiji's city defense facilities?"
"Even if the Duke raised the Meiji City Wall to five feet, I am afraid that I can't stop the attack of the two armies." Ma Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that these two armies would advance so quickly! Even if our army is rushing back day and night, I'm afraid it's too late."
Jia Xu agreed and said: "Without five days, the army cannot return to Meiji, and even if it is barely driven back to Meiji, it will be too scarce to fight again."
"Meiji must be saved! The old, young, women and children in the city are not saved, and the food, grass and supplies in the city are not allowed, but Liao Hua, Gongze, Gao Shun and life and death brothers in the trapped camp, but I will never abandon them!" Ma Yue turned suddenly and said to Ju Tu, "Send the order that the whole army will rest overnight and start at dawn tomorrow. Go back to Meiji, even if you run away with only one breath, you have to climb back~~"
Ju Tu said sternly: "I will obey the order!"
Meiji.
The first night after the troops arrived at the city was in a calm state, Pan Feng and Han Sui did not launch an attack overnight, and did not even have a tentative feint.
But Guo Tu, Gao Shun, and Liao Hua did not dare to be careless at all!
The night was dim and the stars were dim. Guo Tu's thin figure stood solemnly at the head of Meiji City. Looking out of the city with the faint starlight, a total of 60,000 troops set up a camp that stretched dozens of miles outside Meiji City. Looking at the extreme, there were all undulating dome tents. The enemy's chief general seemed to be well aware of the essence of military tactics of encirclement of three and one. He surrounded the three gates of the east, north and west, but there was no battalion or tent outside the south gate.
"Cha scra scra scra scra scra scra scra scra scra
Amid the heavy footsteps, Gao Shun and Liao Hua climbed the city tower together, and Liao Hua stepped forward and stood side by side with Guo Tu.
"It seems that it's okay tonight, but tomorrow~~ the enemy should launch a fierce attack!" Liao Hua said this, turned to look at Guo Tu's thin face, and whispered, "Mr. Guo Tu, you have done everything you should do. Leave the rest to General Mo and Gao Shun. Please evacuate overnight."
"Nonsense." Guo Tu frowned, "The lord entrusted Meiji City to me. How could I leave the city? General, please don't say too much, and I'm swearing to live and die with Meiji."
"puff!"
"snort."
As Guo Tu finished speaking, Liao Hua made a move like lightning, and he slashed hard on the back of his head with a palm. Guo Tu collapsed softly with a muffled groan. Gao Shun was ready to grab the previous hand and support him.
Liao Hua said: "General Gao Shun, are you all ready?"
Gao Shundao: "Everything is ready."
"Mr. Guo Tu is the lord's left arm and right arm, so there is no need to be misunderstood." Liao Hua said in a voice, "Please escort the gentleman out of the city immediately."
Gao Shundao: "I will obey the order."
Beautiful outside Jicheng, Jizhou Daying.
Ju Su stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the stars in the sky, with a faint worry shrouded in his eyebrows. Pan Feng was stubborn and did not listen to good advice. This battle is probably in danger. Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded behind Ju Su. Ju Su turned around, but Gao Lan was slowly walking.
Gao Lan walked behind Ju Su and asked in a voice: "Sir, watching the celestial phenomena at night again?"
"Yes." Ju Su frowned, "The stars are dim, only evil stars rise in the northwest and shine in the sky."
Gao Lan asked with concern: "What have you seen by sir?"
Ju Su said with ease: "The corpses are everywhere, and blood flows away from the pestle."
"Yeah?"
Gao Lan responded lightly, walked to Ju Shu and looked up at the sky, but only saw the stars in the sky. How different is it from the past?
Ju Su shook his head lonely. How could ordinary people see the numbers of astrological signs? Sometimes, Ju Su really hopes that he does not understand the numbers of astrological signs, because the astrological signs presented on his head at this moment made Ju Su feel extremely uneasy! The emperor star is dim and the stars shine. This is a sign that the Han Dynasty will perish, and the world will soon be in chaos~~
Beautiful in the city center.
Liao Hua suddenly turned around, and Gao Shunzheng walked quickly under the dark firelight.
"General Gao Shun, why didn't you evacuate with Mr. Guo Tu?"
"As a counselor, Mr. Guo Tu is his duty to make plans for the lord, but it is not his duty to go to battle to kill the enemy." Gao Shun said calmly, "However, as a general under the lord's lord, can he escape at the last minute?"
Liao Hua said in a deep voice: "General Gao Shun, you should be very clear about the situation in Meijicheng."
"The last general will know." Gao Shun said calmly, "Meijicheng can be kept for at most three days. Even if the lord's army can contact you in time, it will not be able to come back without five days. In other words, Meijicheng will be destroyed and our army will be defeated."
Liao Hua roared, "Since you know, why don't you leave?"
Gao Shun asked in reverse: "Why don't you leave if you dare ask the general?"
Liao Hua frowned and said, "I was entrusted by the lord, but I am the lord. How could I abandon the city and leave?"
Gao Shundao: "The last general was also entrusted by the lord. Although he was a deputy general, he did not dare to underestimate himself."
"Oh~~" Liao Hua sighed and said, "General, Gao Talent, no matter how he trains, he will be able to command troops ten times better. The lord can be without Liao Hua, but he cannot be without you Gao Shun. Besides, Hua surrendered to the lord's tent, but he was in a high position without having a merit. Whenever he thinks about it, he always feels ashamed. He can only defend Meiji and kill himself to repay him."
Gao Shundao: "The general can't escape the lord's admonition?"
"Never give up, never give up!" Liao Hua said in a deep voice, "How can I forget this general? At the time when I was in Suspicion and Changshe, if the lord had not been to rescue him, Hua would have been dead for a long time."
"That's it!" Gao Shun stepped forward and stood side by side with Liao Hua, holding the girl's wall, looking at the endless Han army camp outside the city, and said in a deep voice, "We will never give up easily, lord~~ will never abandon us! Let the Jizhou army learn about our army's military tomorrow."
"Yes!" Liao Hua slapped the female wall with a heavy palm and said in a deep voice, "In this world, only the lord's army is the real elite, Jizhou elite? I'm just bullshit."
A short and peaceful night finally passed. When the scorching sun rose from the eastern horizon, the bloody day finally kicked off unstoppable. Amid the endless sound of horns, teams of iron-clad infantry surged out of the Han army camp and drove into Meijicheng to form an array.
Pan Feng wore heavy armor and rode a horse with a sting. He appeared outside the east gate of Meiji under the escort of Gao Lan, Guan Chun, Geng Wu and hundreds of elite cavalry. Not far away, Han Sui appeared under the escort of Liang Xing, Ma Wan and hundreds of Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The two nodded from afar, and bowed on the horse's back.
The two Han troops had reached a tacit understanding. Han Sui's Xiliang cavalry was responsible for siegeing the city, and Pan Feng's Jizhou infantry was responsible for siegeing the city. If the defenders abandoned the city, or if the Ma Yue army returned to the rescue, the Xiliang cavalry was all faced.
Pan Feng slowly raised his right arm, waved it forward and said in a low voice: "Cater~~attack."
In an instant, the low and distant trumpet sounded loudly, and the fierce sound of war drums resounded through the sky, almost shattering the eardrums of the soldiers of the three armies. Amid the rhythmic trumpets, a piece of wooden towers stood up from the back of the Jizhou army, and suddenly they were lined up in a row, standing like a tower.
"put!"
At the command of the school, more than a dozen trenchers swung their long arms at the same time and threw out the huge rocks as big as plates. More than a dozen trenched rocks rolled across the sky with a sharp roar, and smashed them down fiercely towards the head of Meiji City with the momentum that crushed everything.
"Swish~"
A huge rock flew directly over the city wall and smashed into the city, smashing a big hole on the flat ground.
"Boom boom boom boom~~"
Three huge rocks hit the city wall one after another, and in an instant, two large depressions were smashed on the city wall. One of the huge rocks smashed a piece of battlements, and gravel mud splashed down from the top of the city. On the side of the smashed battlements, a defender looked pale and his eyes were dull. He obviously hadn't figured out what had happened just now?
The next moment, a larger giant rock roared over, and the edge of the giant rock barely swept across the head of the defenders.
"Puff~"
The defender's head shattered like a watermelon, and the huge rocks were still swiftly cast. The defender's body was shaking on the city tower. At this moment, the entire city tower trembled, and several guards fell to the ground in a mess.
"boom!"
To be continued...
