279 Attacking Huguan 3
Feng Ji was very happy during this period. Yuan Shao obeyed him. In addition to Guo Tu, the person Yuan Shao trusted the most now is him. "Lord is wise and mighty. How can this small Huguan resist the steps of the lord's tiger and wolf army? As long as the Haogou in front of Huguan is filled, in order to reduce the losses of soldiers, lord, I suggest to attack the city gate and use a knock-on wood to break the city gate open, then this majestic pass will be like flat ground."
Feng Ji's flattery made Yuan Shao smile and feel very happy. Xu You also offered his advice: "Lord, there will definitely not be many soldiers guarding the city at Huguan. Our army can take continuous attacks day and night. In that case, our army can also drag the soldiers guarding the city with its superior strength."
After listening to the plan of the strategists, Que Yi said inappropriately: "Lord, Huguan is no longer the same as before, and its defense ability has been greatly improved. If it is a strong attack, then our army's 200,000 troops are not enough to fill the pit! Not to mention knocking Huguan, I am afraid that even the walls of Huguan will not be able to climb up, so I will be completely ruined. The strategists sit and talk, but it will not hurt. You ask them to attack. It would be strange if they are not scared to urinate."
Que Yi's words offended all the counselors under Yuan Shao, but Que Yi's personality is like this, arrogant, but he does have the capital to be arrogant. He does know how to lead troops to fight and has certain strategies. However, his personality is too strong and he never takes Yuan Shao into his eyes, which makes Yuan Shao very angry. Therefore, since Que Yi surrendered, Yuan Shao was not very relieved of him and had long wanted to find excuses to get rid of this disobedient stubborn bull. Now that Que Yi offended all the counselors under Yuan Shao, it means he is almost finished.
Yuan Shao glared at Tuo Yi and said angrily: "Who asked you to speak? Go out for me. You don't have to come to my big tent for a meeting again in the future. I will be upset when I see you."
In the following days, Yuan Shao's army was preparing to fill a large number of sacks for Haogou and filled them with sand. In these days, Wen Chou and Yan Liang took turns to lead soldiers to Huguan to scold Gao Shun and the eighteenth generation ancestors of Sha and the two were angry and furious. Gao Shun was a little better. He knew that it was the enemy's method of agitating generals, and the purpose was to lead his troops out of the seclusion to fight. Sha'er couldn't stand this anger. He had been scolded like this and made up lies that Sha'er was an illegitimate child, and it was a seed made by his mother secretly with other men, so he named Sha'er, etc. Anyway, he scolded him all the bad words.
After hearing this, Sha was so unbearable that he immediately raised his troops and was about to go out of the city to fight. When Guo Jia saw it, he immediately dragged Sha'er and ordered: "The lord has been sent to the city. If anyone dares to go out of the city to fight, no matter who dares to behead him, Sha'er, do you dare to disobey the lord's order? Are you not afraid of military law? Besides, the lord handed over Huguan to you, so that you can defend this pass and give you a death order. Don't you forget it? It's okay to lose troops and generals after you leave the pass. If Huguan is lost, do you know how serious the consequences are? If Huguan is lost, the entire Bingzhou will not be able to guard it. In other words, the lord's territory will soon be seized by Yuan Shao's army. Then we will all die under Yuan Shao's butcher's knife, and even the lord is no exception."
After hearing Guo Jia's curse, Sha'er knew that she was too rash. Her lord repeatedly told her that she was not allowed to go out of seclusion and fight. Under any circumstances, she could only guard the seclusion. Why couldn't she stand this anger? Isn't Gao Shun also scolded by Wen Chou and others? Sha'er immediately apologized to Guo Jia and thanked for her reminder, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After thinking it through, he went up to the city wall and let the snipers kill the people who were scolding him more happily. One of them had a loud voice and a vicious language. Every day, this person scolded him the most fiercely and hardest. The snipers of Lu Ningjun had noticed him a long time ago. After hearing the words of Sha'er, all the people pointed at him at the same time. The boy who was shouting arrogantly was shouting, but a few sharp arrows flew towards him at lightning speed on the city wall. He was about to dodge, but several sharp arrows pierced into his mouth, forehead, left and right chest, and died instantly. The other few shouted and scolded so much that they ran away.
The sandbags used by Yuan Shao's army to fill Haogou were ready. They also knew that it was impossible for Lu Ning's army to go out of seclusion and fight. Now they had to fill the Haogou in front of Huguan. Yan Liang commanded tens of thousands of soldiers to carry sandbags and rushed towards Haogou in front of Huguan, with thousands of archers behind them. On the wall of Huguan, the soldiers of Lu Ning's army used bows and arrows and crossbows to shoot the enemy soldiers ruthlessly. Dozens of crossbow beds on the city wall also shot extremely fierce and large sharp arrows. Many of Yuan Shao's soldiers were carrying sandbags and died before they even ran to Haogou. However, Yuan Shao's soldiers were too many, and there were soldiers from law enforcement teams behind him. As long as they retreated, they would be killed immediately by the law enforcement team. The soldiers could only rush forward bravely.
After more than two hours of battle, Yuan Shao's army lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and finally filled the Haogou in front of Huguan. When Yan Liang saw that Haogou was filled, he immediately sent 30,000 troops to attack the city wall. Yuan Shao's soldiers rushed to the city wall in the rain of arrows, but what awaited them was even more tragic. The soldiers of Lu Ning's army on the city wall smashed into pieces and all the messy things. Yuan Shao's soldiers were smashed to death and their blood was spurted. A large amount of fuel fell down the city wall and shot them with rockets. The entire city wall formed a sea of fire. Yuan Shao's soldiers were burned to the sky and earth, running around everywhere, and people were hiding everywhere, and they could only be burned to death by the fire. The super long ladder built by Yuan Shao was also burned to pieces by the fire.
The corpses burned to death by the fire under the city wall emitted an unpleasant odor, which made the soldiers of Lu Ning army not want to eat meat for many days. When they smelled the meat, they remembered the smell of human flesh burned by the fire, which made them really unbearable. The soldiers on the Lu Ning army's city wall were still using their bows and crossbows in their hands to keep shooting the soldiers under the city wall. Under the attack of the long-range weapons of Lu Ning army, none of Yuan Shao's siege army climbed the city wall of Huguan, and they were all intercepted under the city wall.
During the entire day of attack, Yuan Shao's army lost nearly 10,000 soldiers when filling Haogou. In the subsequent battle of siege walls, Yuan Shao invested nearly 50,000 troops one after another. The army did not even climb up the city wall of Huguan, and lost more than 20,000 soldiers and a large number of siege equipment. Even if you want to attack the city again, you must build a large number of siege ladders and hit wood. Without these things, it would be impossible for soldiers to climb the city wall of Huguan.
