Chapter 1474 Cao Mengde''s determination
Reinforcements, reinforcements that everyone wants, but the problem is, everyone wants them, but not everyone can get them. Naturally, it was impossible for Yang Hong and the others to know when the reinforcements would come, or how many people would come. Seeing Yuan Shudong''s question, they couldn''t answer even if they wanted to. shouting loudly...
"My lord! Cao''s army stormed the east gate and the north gate! The enemy general once boarded the east gate! Cao Bing''s archery tower shoots arrows like rain, and there are countless wounded at the east gate and north gate! General Ji and General Yuan Pian are in a deadly battle! My lord, please hurry up! Shield boards and other shelters!"
"Report to my lord! General Yuan Pian died! His body has been carried to the street below the city! General Ji is in charge of General Yuan Pian''s troops, and let my lord rest assured that Cao soldiers can''t break through the city guarded by him!"
"My lord! The arrows at the top of the city are almost exhausted! Please send the arrows quickly, my lord, and send them there as soon as possible!"
"My lord! General Ji beheaded one of the vanguard generals of Cao Jun''s ascension to the city! Cao Jun was frustrated! Already retreating! General Ji is urging his troops to adjust their troops!"
"My lord! Cao''s soldiers have retreated! General Ji is counting his soldiers. It is estimated that this time when he confronted Cao''s army, he would kill more than 200 elite soldiers of Cao''s army, including 400 main soldiers, and countless auxiliary soldiers and civilians! Now the head of the east gate Above, there are less than 500 soldiers who can fight, the arrows are empty, and the archer''s fingers and wrists are damaged, which is unusable and needs to be adjusted urgently! My lord, please help the soldiers!"
Hearing the last military report, Yang Hong, Qiao Rui and others who were in the Yuan Shu hall breathed a sigh of relief...
Yuan Shu''s subordinates, almost all the generals who could fight a little were sent out to the front to hold off Cao Jun''s onslaught. In the past few days, there have been heavy casualties. Even the generals of the Yuan family in the Yuan Shu family were not able to survive a few, and another one was lost tonight. After all, few of Yuan Shu''s subordinates can open Wushuang, Ji Ling is still a bit stronger, and the others are just not satisfactory.
The people beside Yuan Shu at this moment, except for Qiao Rui, are either civil servants who treat guests, or some confidantes from Yuan Shu''s family who lead his personal soldiers and guard his safety. These Yuan''s children, these nephews and nephews who are related to Yuan Shu, will definitely not be able to go to battle, but Yuan Shu doesn''t think that, given his status, he still needs to use his own soldiers to participate in the battle, so he also On weekdays, there is no such thing as urging these children and nephews to be brave. Anyway, on weekdays, these caring children and nephews of my family are also full of obedience and fun, and it can be regarded as giving them a step forward, not a big deal.
However, now, under the fierce battle situation, Yuan Shu looked around, but couldn''t find anyone who could be assured. And those characters of the generation of Yuan''s sons and nephews who usually dance happily in the house, now all shrink their heads. It’s impossible not to shrink back. Yuan Pianjiang, who was promoted by the fire line before, went out vertically, but he came down horizontally. I don’t know if the corpse is complete or not. Maybe it’s spliced...
Most of these generals under Yuan Shu''s subordinates, these Yuan''s nephews and nephews, have never experienced military affairs at all. After they came to attach to Yuan Shu, they didn''t have any thoughts on martial arts and military affairs. They were busy all day long with how to provide exquisite military service for Yuan Shu. Cuisine, looking for lavish supplies, even managing the slave diva, more like a steward than a general.
Of course, these Yuan''s nephews are also impassioned when they talk about military affairs on weekdays. Now they are all like quails, wishing to shrink their heads into their stomachs.
Hearing that Cao Jun was finally repulsed by Ji Ling again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the bluish white faces of the Yuan''s nephews on the side also receded a little, but when they heard that they were going to send reinforcements again, while before The lessons learned by that "Yuan Pianjiang" were still **** in front of them, and the Yuan''s nephews suddenly felt a little uneasy. Seeing Yuan Shu''s eyes sweeping towards him, some people couldn''t stand it, so they cupped their hands and said, "My lord! Before and after, the lord sent thousands of soldiers and horses, more than ten generals, to General Ji! He also dispatched manpower from among the personal guards, and sent countless bows and arrows! Why is there another reinforcement now? There are only a few lord guards left in the city. , if it is transferred again, and the troops in the city are evacuated, what should we do if Cao Jun''s secret agents take the opportunity to make trouble? General Ji is really confused!"
Qiao Rui frowned, seeing Yuan Shu was silent at the top, thinking that Yuan Shu also agreed with this Yuan''s nephew, so he held back his anger and glared at this Yuan''s nephew, then cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shu: "My lord! General Ji''s soldiers and horses have been fighting for days. Even if they are still in the city now, they may not have much combat power. If they are replaced and rested for a while, these soldiers can be slowed down. Otherwise, the next time Cao Jun Again, the casualties are bound to be heavy! General Ji''s request to increase troops is just in line with the wishes of military strategists, how can people who play with tongues make false accusations? If the city falls and Cao''s army swarms in, what''s the use of keeping troops in the city? You can use tongues Arrive?"
The nephew of Yuan''s family came back after eating bridge rutabaga, his brows were erected in anger, his face turned blue, and when he was about to say something more, Yuan Shu coughed, waved his hands and said, "Send another two hundred heavy armored infantry to General Ji." The soldiers of the battle, three hundred archers! Another thousand civilians will be drawn from the city to be dispatched by General Ji, that''s all, hurry up and send orders!"
Yuan''s sons and nephews saw that they didn''t need to go up by themselves, so they didn''t say anything, and some people withdrew to arrange soldiers.
In fact, Yuan Shu is not completely unreasonable, but he was distracted to think about other things just now, but now Cao Jun''s offensive is too strong, so Yuan Shu is indeed a little bit at a loss. After a moment of silence, Yuan Shu said in a low voice: "Cao thief is frustrated again. ...Should we rest for a few days this time?"
Bridge Rui: "..."
Yang Hong: "..."
The rest of Yuan''s nephews: "..."
Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and sighed. Yuan''s nephews all lowered their heads.
Qiao Rui couldn''t bear it any longer, so she stood up, cupped her hands and said, "I have also rested for a while, it''s okay, so I will lead the army again and replace General Ji... As long as I still have three inches of energy, I will keep the Lord safe." !"
In fact, Qiao Rui had persisted in the previous battle for two days and one night, and then passed out on the top of the city, and was carried down by the soldiers. Now that he has not fully recovered, he invited Ying again. Yuan Shu is also a big To be moved, she quickly stood up, walked in front of Qiao Rui, took Qiao Rui''s arm and said, "Qiao Aiqing! Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing! Aiqing is loyal, and I know it well! This birthday is safe, so I entrust it to Aiqing." Already!"
Seeing Yuan Shu''s words were a little emotional, Qiao Rui was also somewhat moved, so he bowed his hands and bowed again, left the hall, led the soldiers and went to the top of the city...
After a while, Yang Hong, who was at the side, suddenly coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "My lord, all of you here are my lord''s confidantes, so I''ll be presumptuous for a while... Well, if something goes wrong, my lord must be prepared... "
"What?!" Yuan Shu''s eyes widened.
Yang Hong''s head also had a thin layer of sweat. Yang Hong is not young anymore, and he is no longer as aggressive as a young man. Now that Cao Cao is attacking outside the city, Yang Hong is also terrified, because he knows that all his power and status now depend on Yuan Shucai What he got, if Yuan Shu died, even if he could save his life, he would not be able to preserve his current power and status. Even if he escaped Cao Cao''s butcher knife, the enemies he offended all these years would come to him...
So, to preserve Yuan Shu is to preserve Yang Hong himself.
If Shouchun is lost, it will be lost. At worst, go to Jiangdong, where there are Sun Ben, Sun Ce, and at worst, Liu Xun, Hui Qu and others, and they can''t find it there...
Yuan Shu glared at Yang Hong.
This means that Shouchun can''t be kept?
Yuan Shu''s original confidence was constantly diminishing under Cao Cao''s constant onslaught these days. In the face of such a fierce and abnormal offensive by Cao Jun, can Shouchun City survive in the end? Yuan Shu couldn''t help thinking about this possibility. If he really couldn''t hold on, then it was very possible that his life would be lost in the chaos!
is to go?
Or not to go?
Big drops of cold sweat flowed down from Yuan Shu''s head and face along the tips of his hair. At this moment, Yuan Shu no longer had the calm expression of wealth and honor, but could only see that he was extremely entangled. His expression, his brows and mouth seemed to be twisted together, it was really tangled up to the extreme.
At this time, Cao Jun''s military drum was heard from outside the city suddenly, and the earth-shattering sound sounded again. The sound of the drum made everyone in the lobby seem to jump up, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Cao Cao actually wanted to attack again less than half an hour after retreating from the last wave of offensive! The sound of the drum was shaking, not only conveying the military order, but also seemed to express Cao Cao''s sense of never returning!
Cao Jun fought so fiercely, fought to the death, and was so exhausted, why did he want to fight again?
Yuan Shu''s eyes kept rolling, does this short mule really hate him that much? I didn''t seem to have done anything to provoke hatred before, but now Cao Cao is going to flatten Shouchun City, and then kill him here?
Yuan Shu raised his head fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Quick! Follow me to the city gate watchtower! I want to see, this **** Cao, this eunuch! What exactly is he going to do!"
Outside the city of Shouchun, Cao Cao stood on the high platform of the Chinese army, standing motionless for a long time, looking at the tragic scene of the fight in front of him, he seemed completely unmoved, his heart was as cold as ice, Can''t afford the slightest disturbance.
In front of him, there is a tragic battlefield, a flame like blood, screams of dying, suffocating blood, Shouchun City crawling like a beast, and a huge grinding disc of flesh and blood...
So far, Cao Cao has lost more than 10,000 in this battle, of which more than 5,000 are dead! If it weren''t for Cao Cao''s training of soldiers for a while, the morale of the soldiers would have been low by now, and they would be unbearable to fight.
The flames of the battlefield made everything flickeringly bright and dark, coupled with the strong smell of blood emanating from the dead and wounded people above and below the city, it seemed that the whole world was painted with a layer of dark blood, making everyone who was here People are in a trance, not knowing what they are in, whether they are in **** or still in the world.
Cao Jun’s previous defeat made Cao Cao’s figure finally move. He closed his eyes and felt sour. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, “Zi Lian! I will leave this place to you! You must personally lead the troops and attack the city!"
"My lord!" Cao Hong was startled, and said, "Why do you have to do this, my lord! Take a rest, and it''s not too late to attack again! Why bother to take risks and arrows yourself!"
"This battle, at this moment, has reached its limit... I don''t know and will work hard, but... every moment of delay, our crisis will increase..." Cao Cao looked up at the sky, and said word by word, "If the heavens bless me, this is the way to defeat the enemy! Yuan Jun, hehe, Yuan Gongtong...he definitely dare not! He must be more unbearable than us!"
Cao Cao''s low voice, although not loud, could be heard clearly by surrounding soldiers, generals and schools including Cao Hong. Although these people were all equally exhausted, it was unknown for a moment whether it was because of Cao Cao''s words or because of the current tragic battle, they fell silent and no one uttered a sound.
"Destroy the enemy today!" Cao Cao roared, looking at the morning star slightly exposed in the sky, "Come here! Send an order! Take a certain armor! Gather the guards of the Chinese army and destroy the enemy with a certain one! Today! This city must be destroyed! "
The guards of the Chinese Army can be said to be the only Cao Jun series that has not been directly involved in large-scale battles since the beginning of the war. Now, Cao Cao is going to send this army, which can be said to be a new force, and the last one in reserve. When the team enters the battlefield, there will be no back-up.
I believe that everyone who has been on the battlefield knows what it means to have no backup. Therefore, when Cao Cao''s figure appeared in the center of the battlefield, he led a few cavalry to raise their horns high. The sound of the horn seemed to drive everyone Heartstrings.
These guards of Cao Cao''s Chinese army can be said to be carefully selected, each of them is a brave generation in the army, and they are directly under Cao Cao''s command on weekdays. The army guards against the enemy''s onslaught, or dispatches to defeat the opponent''s central army to determine the victory in one fell swoop, but now, Cao Cao is preparing to throw this army into the siege!
Throw yourself into Shouchun, the huge flesh and blood mill!
Cao Cao looked around for a week, and then his eyes fell on Dian Wei and Cao Ang. He nodded, smiled slightly, and waved behind him. Immediately, guards came to Cao Cao with armor, and put them on for Cao Cao. More than ten personal guards stood beside Cao Cao with long spears and large shields.
"...In Shouchun City, Yuan Gonglu committed rebellion and crimes. He has no king, and his crime is unforgivable! We should be blessed by God for fighting crimes on behalf of God! The thieves in the world should know the power of God''s punishment! Under the history, we should have your names Cao Cao raised his long sword high, "Yuan Gonglu, a cowardly and incompetent ants, deserves to die here! Let''s see, heroes, who will get the head of a thief! Who will become famous in the world! Success or failure depends on this Serve! Gentlemen, follow me to kill the thief!"
After speaking, Cao Cao took the lead.
Dian Wei jumped up silently, took two big iron halberds, and followed behind Cao Cao, followed by Cao Ang holding up his spear, and then more generals of the Cao army followed with their own guards , even Cao Hong, who was injured in his arm, held a saber in one hand, gritted his teeth, and followed Cao Cao...
The sound of the golden drum boomed again, it seemed to be ten times louder than when it was the strongest just now! The soaring murderous aura spread, and rushed straight towards Shouchun City!
