Chapter two hundred and eighty second battle to the death
It has been three days, and it has been three days. Liu Bei's 20,000 troops were blocked from such a small county for three days. Even Zhang Xiu was embarrassed to watch it and took his Xiliang Iron Cavalry to rob him. Liu Bei had the desire to kill people. If it weren't for the years of nourishing energy and Pang Tong's dissuasion, he would probably have been beheaded at this time.
The 20,000 army attacked a small Guangzhou for three days. You must know that Guangzhou is not as dangerous as Shouchun Wancheng, nor is it as tall as Xia Pi surrounded by Sishui. It can be said that he is just a small county town, a county town wrapped in earthen walls, but Liu Pi has not been able to take it down, and his Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army has already killed and injured 5,000 people, so Liu Bei has to have the urge to change his generals.
Liu Pi's mouth was also very bitter. He looked at Liu Bei's indifferent eyes and felt very depressed. There were three cities in front of him, Gushi Anfeng, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou were the closest to Yuzhou Jingzhou. It can be said that he was a place where the three states were handed over, but because there was no danger to defend, neither Yuzhou Jingzhou nor Yangzhou would have repaired him too much. The garrison, Jingzhou Liu Biao and even Zaoyang Yiyang were basically unmanaged. Yuzhou was under Liu Pi's command before, and Liu Pi's own defenders were not enough and he could not reach here!
Liu Mang also felt that Guangzhou was dispensable, so if the round of the wheel was difficult to attack, Gushi Anfeng was much more difficult than Guangzhou, so Liu Pi was very happy at the beginning because his soldiers were more than Zhang Fei, and Guangzhou was the simplest place. The lord Liu Bei was watching from the side. It can be said that the contribution to the capture of Guangzhou was much greater than that of Gushi Anfeng. After all, this was to give Liu Bei a face, but now!
Gushi Anfeng was broken by Zhang Fei and Chen Dao in one day. With Hao Shao in Guangzhou, Liu Pi not only failed to take Guangzhou in one day, but also lost 5,000 soldiers. The psychological tactics of seeking profit and avoiding harm in the moat were difficult. After the stones broke through the car. When Liu Pi filled the first siege of the moat, the ladder was burned by Hao Shao with fire. From the beginning to the beginning to get Liu Bei’s reward, to the hope of making up for the merits, and now to hope that Liu Bei would not punish him. Liu Pi’s mood was really volatile.
"Please rest assured. As soon as tomorrow is dawn, the last general will definitely capture Guangzhou. If you can't take Guangzhou, the last general will come to see you!" Liu Pi gritted his teeth and he was also fierce. Now the moat in Guangzhou has been filled, and the attacks have not been found in the past few days. At least the defenders are very tired. Although there are not many casualties, there are still hundreds. If it weren't for the moat that was filled, it would be too late and the sky became dark, Guangzhou might have been broken today. Tomorrow, the entire army will definitely break the city.
"I hope so!" Liu Bei snorted coldly and left, leaving Liu Pi in awkward position.
...
Yangzhou Guangzhou City
The night was getting deeper and the moon and stars were coming out. The city of Guangzhou was full of death. It was not that there was no one, but that they were all very tired, so they didn't want to speak or move.
Finally someone broke the quietness. "General, do you think we can still defend Guangzhou!" A defender soldier widened his eyes and looked at Hao Shao. One of his arms was broken and was injured by the enemy who attacked the city. Today, the daytime was the most intense battle in the past few days. Because the moat was filled, it can be said that the entire Guangzhou was exposed to the enemy except for this earthen wall. Liu Pi also tried to attack the city once. Five thousand soldiers and horses were almost about to climb the city wall. Fortunately, Hao Shao asked someone to use the method of burning the cloud ladder in time to burn the enemy, otherwise Guangzhou would be really dangerous.
"Guangzhou?!" Not only soldiers. Hao Shao himself was asking himself. Can Guangzhou still be defended? He used two thousand soldiers to protect a small city and injured 5,000 enemies. It can be said that this record is already very good. After all, Hao Shao's subordinates are second-line garrison troops, not first-line field troops in Liu Pi's hands. If Hao Shao's record is usually done, he can get a lot of credit. It is not easy to hold up the 20,000 army for three days.
But what Hao Shao needs to consider now is that this Guangzhou City can still be defended! Tomorrow, he will definitely withstand the enemy's full strength and crazy attack. Hao Shao has seen the anger of the local general, so tomorrow will probably be the final battle.
"It will definitely be able to defend it!" Hao Shao finally went against his will. He didn't want to deceive these soldiers, but he knew that if he didn't deceive them, he might not talk about the enemy. They would collapse now, so Hao Shao had to go against his will.
"Yes!" The soldier wanted to say something, but Hao Shao didn't give him a chance, because the topic was too heavy and would make people think too much. Hao Shao turned around and asked Xuan Jian next to him, "Xuan Jian, have you sent someone who asked for help and send a letter to him?"
"The general was sent out, and one and four people were all sent out on the first day!" Xuan Jian was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded and said to Hao Shao. There were four war horses in the entire Guangzhou City all given to the four soldiers. According to the time, he should be back today.
"That's good! That's good, everyone cheer up! Our reinforcements may arrive tomorrow night or tomorrow night!" Hao Shao shouted loudly to the soldiers on the city wall.
"Reinforcements? Is it true? Is there any reinforcements?!"
"Our reinforcements are coming! Is it the lord's Bingzhou wolf cavalry? Or the city management army in Shouchun, the black chess army?" These are the people who wanted to join the black chess army but failed to join.
"It cannot be the city management army and the black chess army, it should be the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the heavy armored infantry cannot run so fast! Only the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under the command of the Lord of Lujiang!" Someone retorted, but he also knew some common sense.
"It's the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the king of cavalry! It's led by the war god Lu Bu!"
"How can you tell the name of the lord at will!"
They all started to discuss, but instead wiped out the dead aura on the city wall.
"Reinforcement?!" Hao Shao could only smile bitterly in his heart. Three of the four soldiers who were sent out to seek help died on the road. Only one of them ran to Shucheng and came back yesterday. Shucheng was guarded by Zhang Liao, so he did not deceive Hao Shao, nor did he conceal him and told Hao Shao directly, asking Hao Shao to hold on to wait for assistance. In recent days, no reinforcements may have appeared, because although Lujiang is preparing for war, it is not only because of insufficient food and grass, but also because of the main defense of Sun Ce in Jiangdong.
The movements of Sun Ce's fleet in Jiangdong were too unclear and they were not investigated clearly. Lu Bu did not dare to pull the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Taishan Army in the Crane Camp to help Shouchun.
"Brothers, just think that I, Hao Shao, owe you one time!" Hao Shao sighed in his heart and lay down, covered his body with cloth casually as a quilt as a bed, and then rested on the city wall.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" As soon as the sky was dawn, the war drums started to beat, and Liu Pi's army began to move. Hao Shao himself also got up and came directly to the city wall. When he saw the troops arranged below, Hao Shao took a deep breath.
"General, it seems that the enemy is going to be dead!" Xuan Jian looked at Liu Pijun under the city and said to Hao Shao. How could this be a desperate situation! Except for those who were dead and injured, Liu Pi was probably pulling out all his troops, just to deal with the embarrassing Lu Bujun in Guangzhou City today.
"Try hard. Just fight hard! Even if you die, none of our Lu Bu army is a coward!" Hao Shao was also angry and was beaten for these days. Hao Shao also exerted his energy. Although he likes defense, he is still from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. It can be said that when did the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry be bullied like this? He really thinks that Hao Shao is a dish, and he will bully him no matter how he wants to bully him. "Xuan Jian doesn't want the reserve team. You will also come up to the city tower. Today, if you want to destroy the city, everyone will die together. Or we will defeat the enemy again!" Hao Shao is no longer planning to use the reserve team. Anyway, he looks at Liu Pi's posture on the opposite side, and he is going to fight hard. Since he is playing hard, come on. Who among the soldiers doesn't put their heads on their heads.
"It's the general!" Xuan Jian nodded.
Liu Pi below is rare to talk nonsense to Hao Shao and never persuade him to surrender. Isn't that right? He just typed it in one word, and the first wave of the war drum began to rush into the city.
"kill!"
One after another, cloud ladders were mounted on the Guangzhou city wall. Liu Pi's Yuzhou army rushed up directly as the cloud ladders were waiting for the cloud ladders, and the moat was gone. Now, just like the previous siege, just climb the city wall.
The momentum of one move is declining and exhausting. This sentence is very useful in the battle between the two armies, but don’t forget that there is another sentence that means that if you don’t die in silence, it will explode in silence. Liu Pi’s army was too frustrated. Whether it was Liu Pi himself or the Yuzhou army, he was blocked by a small Guangzhou city, and was beaten up because of the terrain but was unable to fight back. This feeling of frustration was really unhappy.
The Yuzhou Army was originally a bandit force, and they always made the enemy feel aggrieved. When did people say this? Therefore, the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army rushed towards the city wall desperately.
"Kill! Hold on!" Hao Shao solved the problem of Liu Pijun who had climbed the city wall with one sword. He shouted loudly. There were less than two thousand garrison troops on the city wall. He lost a lot in the battle these days. In addition, he was exhausted. It was already good to be able to persist to this level. Another small section of the city wall was occupied. Hao Shao relied on his superb martial arts skills and could only act as a sharp weapon to drive down these enemies occupying the city wall.
"Set fire, set fire!" Hao Shao wanted to use the same trick again. Sooner or later, he would not be able to hold on the city wall. After all, the enemy is dozens of times that of his own. His soldiers can still defend against the city wall. Once he fights in close combat, the shortcomings of the new recruits will be exposed.
"Set fire, set fire! Burn cloud ladders, burn cloud ladders." Torches were lifted up and all kinds of oil poured towards the cloud ladders. The fire lit up, but it did not meet the results expected by Hao Shao. Often, only a small fire was burned, and the flame was very small, and it was even a little too small.
"Hmph! I still want to use the same trick again!" Liu Pi sneered under the city wall. He had already eaten Hao Shao used a torch to burn the cloud ladder once. The cloud ladder was made of wooden. In order for the cloud ladder to not be too smooth, it was basically dead wood or wood that was exposed to the sun for a while. Once the oil was poured, it would become a lot of torches.
However, Liu Pi's ladders are specially made today. He gave up dead trees. Instead, in order to prevent fire, he put all the ladders in the water and soaked them all for a night. The wood was easy to absorb water, but now they are wet. Only when they can be burned will there be ghosts. If the ladders are smooth, they should be smooth. Just pay attention to the speed and slow down a little. Liu Pi's command continued to climb the city wall.
"Damn it!" Hao Shao touched his face, but the ladder could not be lit, and there were more enemies behind him.
"Xuanjian on the city wall!" Hao Shao yelled. He also had a secret weapon. He originally planned to use it to last until night, but who knew he needed to use it as soon as he came up.
"Yes!" Teams of soldiers walked out of the city wall and stairs. They were holding giant shields, heavy armor, and carrying battle knives.
"Bai Er Heavy Armored Soldiers?" The soldiers who climbed the city wall were stunned. The Bai Er Heavy Armored Soldiers had been with their Yuzhou Army for a lot of time. They could naturally see these heavy armored looks.
"It's not the white-eared heavy armor, it's the Lu Bu army, it's the Lu Bu army!" Although it's the heavy armor of the white-eared soldiers, the clothes they wear are not the white-eared soldiers' white underwear.
That's right, these pseudo-Bai Er soldiers were Lu Bu's army, and it should be said that they were Hao Shao's troops. Hao Shao had captured the 800 people before. He took off all the armor on the 800 people and put four hundred strong soldiers in Hao Shao's own garrison army. Heavy armor infantry is generally used for field battles against light infantry and cavalry. It is rarely used to siege and defend the city because wearing heavy armor can't climb up the ladder.
However, Liu Mang used heavy armored cavalry to win a battle on the city wall, which was to use the heavy infantry of the Black Chess Army to drive Sun Ce's troops off the city wall like a duck to drive down the city wall of Wancheng, and Hao Shao also wanted to play this.
Sure enough, the pseudo-white-eared heavy armor infantry really brought good results. The heavy armor infantry should have pushed the heavy armor all the way. The thick skin and thick flesh cannot cut you, but you can cause huge damage to the enemy.
"It's so great!" Liu Pi was really angry. He shot himself in the foot with a brick. He had already put up the four hundred white-eared heavy armors.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Hao Shaojun drove Liu Pijun off the city wall with the help of four hundred pseudo-Bai Er soldiers.
"The first echelon retreats, and the second echelon goes up!" Liu Pi waved his arm with a cold face, and then hurry down! Liu Pi ignored the casualties today, and he was trying his best to take down Guangzhou City.
The sound of fighting continued.
