Chapter 152 Blitz (3)
Chapter 152 Blitz War ([-])
"Brother Benchu, it is the best arrangement for each to guard a city, this will also save the two armies from staying together for a long time and create rifts.
As for the important task of staying in Liaocheng, I decided to let Miaocai do it, and Mancheng was there to assist me.
With the two of them in command, it is not a big problem to defend Liaocheng. General Rengui led the elite cavalry as the vanguard to attack Lu Bu in the south. "
After listening to Cao Cao's arrangement, Yuan Shao frowned slightly. It seemed that it was not enough to send only two generals. After all, he had sent three generals and two advisors.
"Meng De, you only let the two generals Miaocai and Manchester City station in Liaocheng, doesn't it seem a bit weak?"
"Brother Benchu, Miaocai and Manchester City are courageous, resourceful, calm and defensive. I am very relieved to hand over Liaocheng to them. I firmly believe that they will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility!"
"Thank you, my lord, for your trust. If there is something wrong with Liaocheng, I will be willing to come and see you!"
"It's the same for the last general. If you can't defend Liaocheng, I'm willing to come and see you!"
Seeing that Xia Houyuan and Li Dian had expressed their views, Yuan Shao couldn't say anything more. If he questioned the abilities of the two of them, it might cause discomfort.
"Since Miaocai and Manchester City have issued a military order, I can't say too much. Brother Mengde, how about letting General Rengui and General Long Live lead the troops south in two hours?"
After making the decision, Yuan Shao was very decisive, and Cao Cao didn't have much opinion. He ordered Xue Rengui to go to the camp outside the city to make preparations.
"My lord, since the death of General Yan Liang and the capture of generals Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Jiang Qi, Zhu Ling, etc., our army has not many generals left who can stand alone.
The purpose of our army this time is only to defend the city. General Wen Chou is good at attacking. It is a bit overkill to stay here. Let him go south with the lord.
The sooner the war in the south ends, the less pressure it will be to defend Qingyuan City. Don't worry, my lord, with General Miaocai and General Manchester City as horns to each other, the general will have the confidence to defend Qingyuan City! "
Yuan Shao was also very tempted by Su Dingfang's proposal. After several battles, his generals were completely lost, and Wen Chou's value became more and more apparent.
"Ding Fang, are you sure you don't need General Wen Chou to stay here and guard Qingyuan City with you?"
"My lord, General Shu Mo speaks bluntly, even if General Wen Chou stays here, it will not achieve much effect.
The purpose of our army this time is to stick to it. Even if there are several times the enemy troops, the general will have the confidence to defend Qingyuan City for three months, and the general will swear to live and die with Qingyuan City! "
"Okay! As long as General Dingfang defends Qingyuan City, he will be the one who made the first contribution to this operation. After the war is over, he will definitely ask the imperial court for the general's credit!"
After the matter was finalized, the army quickly moved into action, with Xue Rengui and Shi Wansui as the vanguard, followed by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who personally led the army.
The mobilization of the army in Qingyuan City was naturally discovered by the spies, but the army did not make any moves, but was always making preparations, accumulating strength and waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.
Five days later, Ta Dun led the Third Army of the Huben Army to arrive first, and five days later, the Fourth Army of the Huben Army and the Sixth Army of the Huben Army led by Gongsun Fan and Xu Rong also arrived.
"General Tadun, Ziwu, and Da Mao, you have worked hard all the way, and the preparations for the siege have already been completed. You rest for a while, and the first battle of attacking Qingyuan City will be handed over to the first army of Youwu soldiers and the first army of Youwu soldiers." three armies.
After you have rested for three days, you will take over from the Youwu army's first and third armies to attack the city. Su Dingfang thought that blocking the four gates of Qingyuan City would stop our army's footsteps, which is ridiculous.
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are jokes, let him take a good look at our achievements over the past two years.
Our army will bombard Qingyuan City with crossbows and boulders, crush them openly, and completely cut off the enemy's determination to resist!
Hanchen, you are still in command this time. The purpose of our army is not only to capture Qingyuan City, but to completely defeat the enemy's fighting spirit. As long as the enemy loses their fighting spirit, then they will attack Yangping County, Wei County and Guangping County It will be a lot easier, and it is not impossible to be overwhelming! "
After determining the general direction, Gongsun Yue handed over the tactical command of the battle to Di Qing, and did not dictate at will. Professional matters should be left to professional people.
"My lord, don't worry, the final general will not only capture Qingyuan City, but also defeat Su Dingfang's confidence, let him recognize the real gap with our army, and crush him in all directions!"
After receiving the order, Di Qing began to make arrangements. Guan Hai and Xin Qiji launched the first wave of attacks, followed by Xu Huang and Han Meng.
However, before launching the attack on the city, Di Qing first dispatched a powerful bow and crossbow force. Hundreds of eight-ox crossbows and hundreds of return cannons had already been transported to Qingyuan City.
"General Su, why does the enemy have so many ballistas and catapults? If these ballistas and catapults attack at the same time, even if Qingyuan City is high and deep, it will not be able to withstand such fierce suppression.
What's more, the enemy destroyed more than half of the city wall before retreating. Although our army has re-fortified, it is still far from the original. Can we really hold Qingyuan City for three months? "
Although Feng Ji was well-informed and had seen a lot of big scenes, he was still intimidated by the densely packed ballistas and trebuchets outside the city.
Fengji was so unbearable, not to mention those soldiers, their faces turned pale and their legs were weak from fright, and they couldn't even lift the shields in their hands.
Although the war has not yet started, the defenders have already lost their momentum, and their morale is still declining. If they fall to the bottom line, mutiny will happen sooner or later.
"The eight-ox crossbow is ready!"
"Get ready for the return cannon!"
Amidst Xu Rong's shouts, hundreds of eight-ox crossbows were pulled to their full strings at the same time, and hundreds of return guns were also loaded with boulders and fire cans. The war machine was ready to go.
"put!"
Following Xu Rong's order, thousands of crossbow arrows like javelins all shot towards the city wall and were firmly nailed into the city wall.
Thousands of crossbow arrows like javelins spread from the middle of the city wall to the top of the city wall. The density makes one's scalp tingle, allowing the besieging soldiers to climb up the rock.
Thousands of javelin-like arrows shot into the city wall, causing the entire city wall to tremble several times, faintly crumbling.
At the same time as the eight oxen crossbows fired crossbow arrows, hundreds of return cannons also threw huge boulders and fire pots. The boulders smashed the city wall, and the fire pots filled with kerosene set the city on fire. The sky above Qingyuan City lingers for a long time.
"Eight oxen crossbow, the second round of salvo!"
"Returning artillery, the second round of salvo!"
Not long after the first wave of attack fell, the eight-ox crossbow and the returning cannon launched a second wave of attack, and the sky was full of arrows, and some defenders were scared away, throwing down their shields and trying to escape.
Thank you book friends for voting and rewarding, Yanyu will continue to work hard to update!
