Chapter 708 General Loss

It would be strange if Cao Cao was not depressed! Some time ago, when he attacked the city wall at night, although he did not attack the city wall, the casualties were not very large. Tonight, he attacked the city wall, but most of the soldiers who attacked the city wall could not come back. Such casualties made Cao Cao unacceptable, and even lost two generals. Could Cao Cao not be angry?

Xun You advised: "Lord, this night's attack is not conducive to our attacking side, so it's not too late to wait until tomorrow."

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun immediately shouted: "Lord, let me lead the soldiers to attack again and I will definitely take down the city!"

Xun You said: "Yuan Rang, this kind of loss is too great, so that's how to bear it!"

Xu You murmured in a low voice: "How come the Lu Ning army has so many arrows? Every time they shoot wildly at any cost, it's too wasteful."

After hearing this, Yu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "In the past ten days, I have estimated that there are almost tens of millions of arrows shot out by the soldiers of Lu Ning. It's such a luxury!"

Dong Zhao said: "The most depressing thing is the arrows shot by Lu Ningjun. Even if we pick them up, they are of no use. They are all made for crossbows. I heard that this kind of arrow is only used once, and after recycling it, Lu Ningjun can only return it to the furnace and reprocess it."

Xu You said: "Lu Ning is so luxurious even when fighting, it's annoying to think about it."

Cao Cao did not continue to evaluate Lu Ning, glanced at Xiahou Dun and said, "Yuan Rang, then let you attack again, but you must be careful and retreat immediately if it doesn't work, don't force it."

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun immediately said, "Abide by the order!"

Xiahou Dun led the Cao army to carry out the second wave of attacks, and there was no substantial change. As soon as Cao's army reached the city wall, it was taken care of by the crossbow arrows of foreign legions under Wei Yan and Beikeham. The Cao army soldiers who attacked the city wall were still unable to break through the arrows of Lu Ning's army, nor could they open up the situation. They also lost the lives of the soldiers in vain.

When Xiahou Dun saw his soldiers falling down constantly, he was furious and immediately climbed up the city wall himself, leading the soldiers forward and rushed forward, but the arrows hit like raindrops. Even if they had three heads and six arms, they were hard to resist. Moreover, they were all physical bodies, and blood would be emitted when the arrows hit the body.

Wei Yan saw a general with bright armor on the city wall and knew that he was definitely a senior general of Cao's army. He laughed and said loudly: "Sniper, take care of the general with bright armor and sharp helmets. Don't let him escape."

In this way, Xiahou Dun's life and death decided. With Wei Yan's shouts, dozens of snipers raised their special crossbow machines and aimed at Xiahou Dun's body to open fire. Although the personal soldiers around Xiahou Dun tried to cover with their bodies, Xiahou Dun had become the target of the snipers under the Yan of the Commission at this time. The extremely powerful crossbow arrows kept taking care of Xiahou Dun's body. After all the personal soldiers shot and killed them, Xiahou Dun's body was completely exposed. Even if he could use the spear in his hand to push away some of the crossbow arrows, he could not all be removed.

Xiahou Dun became the second place Cao Hong and became the target of the sniper's focus of shooting. However, no matter how brave Xiahou Dun is, he will be useless. All he is waiting for is ascending to heaven, dying, and disappearing, and there is no other choice.

Xiahou Dun was shot and killed immediately made Cao's morale depressed. Although the body was rescued by Cao Anmin and others, it also meant that the attack of Cao's army was declared to be failed.

Cao Cao in the big tent was unacceptable when he received the news of Xiahou Dun's death. He shouted loudly at the retreating soldiers, and his emotions were completely out of control. Cao Cao lost two brothers in a day, which was difficult for anyone to accept. After all, Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun were not only brothers, but also Cao Cao's direct descendants, but also his confidant in the battles in the world.

After yelling for a while, Cao Cao calmed down a lot, his face improved a lot, and his anger in his heart was also vented.

Cheng Yu carefully suggested: "Lord, if this kind of attack fails, Guo Jia brought a large number of reinforcements to defend enough; and if our soldiers cannot attack the city and open the city gate, our strength advantage will not be reflected, and it can only be a tactic of adding fuel. This is not great?"

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, and knew that he had not finished speaking, so he immediately said, "Zhongde, if you have any plan, just say it!"

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, if you want to succeed, when the soldiers attack the city wall tomorrow, when the soldiers attack the city wall, the Huo Chuan bow must continue to shoot and cannot stop. Although this will cause certain casualties to our attacking soldiers and may suppress Lu Ning's crossbow archers, our soldiers can enter the city and open the city gate with the flow."

Cheng Yu's words made the civil and military officials sitting in the hearts feel irritated. This is too vicious. Even his own soldiers are shooting. He dares to use even the most sinister moves to achieve his goal!

Cheng Yu himself was a very vicious person in the historical stage. It seemed that when Cao's army was short of food and grass, Cheng Yu led his troops to slaughter the villages under Cao Cao's rule, treating human flesh as food. I don't know how many villages have been slaughtered. This incident is recorded in official and unofficial history, and it should be a real event.

After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded after only thinking for a moment, "I'll attack like this tomorrow."

Seeing that Lao Cao agreed, Cheng Yu immediately suggested: "Lord, soldiers attack with arrows. There must be a supervision team behind the scenes. It is best to have several generals lead them personally, so that they can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Cao Cao's eyes immediately circulated on the faces of several generals, and then said, "Wenze, you will lead the soldiers to attack tomorrow, Cao Xing and Hao Meng will be your assistants."

After hearing this, Yu Jin scolded Cheng Yu for being despicable and shameless. How could he use such a vicious move? Isn’t this letting him go and get his own arrow?

Yu Jin was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to disobey Lao Cao's orders, so he had to say obediently: "Abide by the order!"

Cao Xing and Hao Meng were originally Lu Bu’s descending generals, but they were not trusted by Cao Cao in normal times. Now, Yu Jin dared not disobey, and they both dared not object, so they had to say obediently: "Abide by the order!"

Cao Cao continued: "Wenqian, you and other generals are ready to enter the city. Once the city gate is opened, immediately lead the troops into the city as fast as possible."

Le Jin said: "Abide by the order!"

Xun You felt it was inappropriate and wanted to persuade him, but it was obvious that Lao Xi's decision had been decided, so it was not easy to be detailed, otherwise it would only make Lao Cao angry. Xun You also felt that Cheng Yu's plan was inconsistent. Once attacked, most of the arrows fired by the bow would hit the attacking soldiers, which was no different from suicide.

After more than ten days of attack, Xun You also understood in his heart that Guandu is not easy to attack. Its powerful arrows are too dense. This kind of shooting that does not matter how much arrows are wasted will not be in the hands of any prince, and only Lu Ning would do so. With such dense and powerful crossbow arrows, it is very difficult to break through the defense line. After all, there are only a limited number of soldiers who can attack each wave and cannot exert their advantages in military strength.
