Fifty thousand Dong Zhuojun was crazy about the White Horse City when he poured out a column of incense, and the catapult hit a big stone and beat the defenders of the city. He dared not look up and threw more than 400 flames at the four gates to blow up the tin-clad wooden gates, but after the smoke dispersed, Dong Zhuojun was not discouraged. He had already been familiar with Dong Zhuojun’s means of bombing the city. Hao Zhao had asked soldiers to seal the four gates with big stones and Dong Zhuojun still tried to walk into the city.
"The ladder Yuntai killed all the enemies in the city" Dong Chong shouted maliciously, and Dong Zhuojun shouted that he was full of pride. In Dong Zhuojun’s view, there were not many defenders left in the city after his feet were bowed and catapulted. Dong Zhuojun was sure that he could get White Horse after the first round of attack, but Dong Zhuojun didn’t expect it to be …
"put the rocket!" Along the White Horse City, a steady drink suddenly appeared in the White Horse City. A large number of Cao Caojun soldiers were soaked in fire oil. Rockets were shot from the city and accurately nailed to Dong Zhuojun’s Yuntai. The wooden Yuntai suddenly burst into flames. Many soldiers were caught off guard by rockets or burned to death by fire. At the lightest, they even rolled and climbed the Yuntai and fell to death.
Behind the telescope to observe the battlefield, Dong Chong jumped up from his seat and even asked, "Why are there so many enemies? Is our army’s bow and catapult gone? " No one can answer Dong Chong’s question. Seeing White Horse City flying like an locust, rolling stones falling like dense trees like raindrops, Dong Zhuojun was caught off guard and attacked from an unfavorable position. The casualties were quite heavy, and he quickly fled back. The first wave of attacks failed.
"I’ll shoot them with a bow and a catapult!" Dong Chong went on the rampage with anger, and even ordered thousands of bow-legs and hundreds of catapults to line up outside the range of Baima City again, pouring arrows and rain on the city, and fully shooting more than 50,000 expensive bow-legs and special feather arrows to smash tens of thousands of kilograms of large Shicheng. Seeing that there was no one left in the city, Dong Chong ordered the bow-legs and catapults to stop attacking and let the army attack the city again.
"Kill!" Dong Zhuojun’s thousand cloud echelon poured in from all directions again, but when Dong Zhuojun re-entered the range of the defenders in Baima City, a large number of defenders came out from there, and another bow and arrow, rolling stones, falling wood, gray bottles and gold juice beat Dong Zhuojun up and fled again. The second wave of attacks was reported again.
"Give me another shot!" Tearing his hair out about Dong Chongzheng’s howl, but a gentle voice came next to him. "Two generals wait a minute." Dong Chong looked back and saw that Tian Feng had been behind him. If Yuan Shao failed at this moment, he must have gone on the rampage and driven Tian Feng away with a disorderly stick, but he clapped his hands and laughed when he knew he could. "Mr. Wen Hao, I wish you could come and make up your mind. It’s too strange for the defenders of Baima City to bow our feet and catapult them."
Tian Feng did not move his heart and sighed before, but now he has a huge salary. He took the telescope from Dong Chong and carefully observed the city. He squatted to the ground and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground to look at Dong Chong inexplicably. "What do you think this loess is for, Mr. Wen Hao?" Tian Feng motioning with his hand to stop Dong Chong from asking Dong Chong Qinbing about two hand-held iron guns, saying, "Please let me have a look at this loess with the tail force of your gun, two sergeants." Two Dong Chong Qinbing are also confused, but they are still in accordance with the law. When they smashed a dozen, Tian Feng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, stop."
"General II, I already know that the enemy is not afraid of the secret of our army’s catapult." Tian Feng smiled and asked Dong Chong why he laughed. Tian Feng explained that "White Horse is located in two tributaries of the Yellow River. The soil is fine and strong, which can withstand the impact of heavy objects. It is most suitable for digging tunnels. Hao Zhao is good at guarding the city and guarding the white horse for a long time. Our army must have carefully studied our siege tactics to find out a way to deal with our army’s siege tactics and dig a lot of tunnels in the city. When our army’s catapult is attacked with its bow, the defenders will retreat into the tunnels to avoid when our
"So that’s it. I’m still the enemy. What do we do with witchcraft?" Dong Chong suddenly realized and frowned. "These enemies are like rats. What should we do?"
"Give a man his own back" Tian Feng has a well-thought-out plan. "The soil here is suitable for digging tunnels, and our army can also dig tunnels. Within three days, Baima City will be broken." Dong Chong’s greatest advantage in tactical command is that he knows that he can stand for good advice without saying anything, so he will withdraw his troops and organize people to dig tunnels overnight.
……
At midnight, when the local rats of Jizhou Legion were digging tunnels, a group of special guests greeted Dong Zhuojun outside the Yongzhou Legion Camp. Xiahou Dun and Zhang He brought 3,000 cavalry to prepare for the night attack on Dong Zhuojun’s Yongzhou Legion Camp according to Cao Cao’s orders. Dong Zhuojun’s spirit was frustrated. Ten miles from the destination, Zhang He suddenly stopped the army and said to Xiahou Dun, "Let the general March slowly. I always have a bad feeling that Dong Zhuo’s cunning will make us succeed?"
"Why? Now you are afraid of death? " Xiahou Dun great anger hand broadsword glared at Zhang He way
"Yuan let the general misunderstand that Zhang He is by no means afraid of death." Zhang He hurriedly waved his hand to explain and pointed to the troops and said, "Yuan let the general think that we have 3,000 horses here and meet us. General Zhong Kang has 3,000 horses, which is the last horse in the hands of the king. If we fail to rob the camp, there will be no cavalry in the hands of the king. We have to act cautiously and leave some fighting power for the king."
"That makes sense." Xiahou Dun’s face slowed down and Cao Caojun was at the end of the road. Now that the materials are more precious than these precious war horses, Cao Caojun will never have a chance to replenish Xiahou Dun. "What should I do?"
"All the troops will fight on foot," Zhang He said decisively. "Leave a few troops to guard the horses. If our troops are under the cover of General Zhong Kang, we can take the horses back here and evacuate. Whether we win or lose this trip, such as these precious horses, there will be no losses."
"Ma Bu Ma" Xiahou Dun immediately ordered Cao Caojun’s cavalry to follow orders although they were angry. Xiahou Dun’s eyes were rolling with tears. It was too difficult for Cao Caojun to make Lien Chan’s horse easily.
Because there was no war horse, Cao Caojun arrived at his destination nearly an hour later than expected. Even the troops who came to meet Xu Jun were almost in Xiahou Dun and Zhang He’s troops arrived outside Dong Zhuojun’s camp. At this moment, Dong Zhuojun’s camp was silent, and a few patrol torches flashed in the camp. Zhang He and Xiahou Dun’s troops quietly moved antlers outside the camp and refused horses and secretly hit the village gate. However, the camp was still quiet and did not find the enemy coming.
"Go!" Xiahou Dun took the lead in flattery and rushed into Dong Zhuojun’s camp. Zhang He followed closely with Cao Caojun’s team. There were two of them riding horses. As a result, as soon as they rushed into Dong Zhuojun’s camp, they stepped into Zhuge Liang’s pit. The leg bone of the horse was broken by their own momentum and they fell to the ground.
"Get out! I got it! " The first thing Zhang He did when he got up was to yell and order the soldiers to retreat. Dong Zhuojun’s cavalry didn’t know how much more than Cao Caojun’s. He dug so many horse pits at the gate of the camp to deal with Cao Caojun’s cavalry who came to rob the camp. Xiahou Dun was secretly glad that he didn’t bring his war horse and shouted, "Withdraw!"
"Hey!" A gun went off, and Li Jue on the left and Guo Si on the right of Dong Zhuojun’s camp each fought an army. But Cao Cao’s military and police felt that they were already retreating backwards and throwing away thatched firewood, sulfur and other kindling objects. They set fire to the road to stop Dong Zhuojun’s ambush and did not receive much effect. When Kang Peng and Jia Xu saw it in the back camp, they couldn’t help but marvel and secretly admire Cao Cao’s leading general.
Xiahou Dun and Zhang He’s troops didn’t escape far. Xu Jun has come to meet Kang Peng. He is worried that Cao Caojun still has an ambush in the midnight battle. He is afraid that it will cost too much. The west cool fighters let Cao Caojun escape from the first contact between the two armies and get a draw. After Zhang He returned to the city, he got a strong verbal praise from Cao Caojun. Cao Caojun is now in short supply and Cao Cao has nothing to get a reward.
Although it was a draw with Dong Zhuojun, Cao Cao still frowned. The strength gap between the two armies was there. Even if Cao Caojun lacked Serenade grain, Dong Zhuojun could consume Cao Caojun to death. Cao Caojun could no longer think of a way to beat Dong Zhuojun back, but he would really die in the middle of the night in the courtyard until the sky was full of dew. Cao Caocai persuaded people to go back to his room to rest.
After the room, Cao Cao suddenly found that Guo Jia was still in the room thinking about the map and looking at the lonely lamp around Guo Jia. Obviously, Guo Jia was also sleepless all night. Cao Cao’s curiosity quietly stood behind Guo Jia and was about to speak. Guo Jia suddenly lamented the map and shouted wildly, "OK! Definitely can do it! "
Cao Cao got a fright and asked Guo Jia, "What’s the matter with filial piety? What can do? "
"Your Majesty, I have an idea." Guo Jia grabbed Cao Cao’s shoulders and shook them with a big smile. "I have an idea. This time, Dong Zhuo’s 200,000 troops will be destroyed and Dong Zhuo will go back and forth!"
"Filial piety have sleeve? Come on, "Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"Your majesty, do you remember that you formed the second anti-Dong alliance?" Guo Jia said excitedly, "What made us fail at that time?"
Chapter 47 United War (5)
(PS full moon Mid-Autumn Festival Pure Wolf wishes all friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and all the best)
"You mean the Yellow River?" Cao Cao trembled and asked, "The nightmare of Chuping three years seems to be vivid in my mind. At one time, Cao Cao’s decline was due to that terrible disaster, which was the turning point of Cao Cao’s decline from prosperity to decline, and from that day, Dong Zhuojun was rampant, and no one could restrain him."
"What a coincidence that disaster was, King. You tried your best to form the second anti-Dong alliance, but it was destroyed by a sudden disaster." Guo Jia sink a way. "Although everyone said that it was the king who robbed the gods, which led to the wrath of heaven and the thunder of the Yellow River flooding Yanzhou, Guo Jia didn’t believe that Dong Zhuo was so cruel and the wolf was so violent that he punished the king of one country every day. Ten times when the Yellow River burst, Dong Zhuo did good deeds. "
Cao Cao’s eyes flickered when he stopped talking. Obviously, he was hesitant. After all, the Yellow River was not hurt by Kang Peng’s army, but by Yanzhou Koo. Even Cao Cao, who was stationed in Dongjun County, was inevitably affected. Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao’s mind was in a hurry. "Your majesty, you can’t hesitate to flood Yanzhou for reconstruction. If you can’t get rid of Dong Zhuo, you will have nothing."
Cao Cao still hesitates to keep making choices in the room. At this time, a man suddenly rushed in and kowtowed in front of Cao Cao. "Father, let the child do it. Let the child bear all the blame." Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked intently and saw that the bearer turned out to be Cao Caochang Cao Ang.
Cao Ang kowtowed and cried, "Father Dong, a thief, a soldier, is under siege, and the child can’t be safe and secure, and the country can’t be settled, and his father can’t share the sorrow and decide the Yellow River, so let the child do it. After the incident, the child will say that it was the child’s own idea, and Xie Cangsheng." Cao Cao was in tears and helped him to hold his hands tightly …
After dawn on Dong Zhuojun’s side, Kang Peng was about to attack Dongjun with a great army, but he received an urgent letter from Dong Chong. It turned out that Mr. Dong heard that he had sacrificed Ai Jin, the deputy commander of the Second Army of Dong, and that Ma Zhuang had several cousins to avenge his younger brother and cousin. He also led a group of servants and men to join Dong Zhuojun. Mr. Dong did not say to his friends that he immediately begged his eldest brother to transfer this army to him, so that Mr. Dong could take care of them. Dong Chong also reported the White Horse War in Kang Peng and Tian Feng’s plan, Dong Chong, also reported it to Kang Peng.
"King Hao Zhao is good at guarding the city. I’m afraid he will see through this plan." After reading Dong Chong’s letter, Jia Xu mused, "If Hao Zhao digs deep trenches all over the city, our army will work hard and need to find another good way to break the enemy."
Kang Peng didn’t answer Jia Xu’s words. He silently looked at the terrain around the white horse in the sand table. Kang Peng of course knew the terrible history of Hao Zhao guarding the city. His 3,000 soldiers blocked Zhuge Liang’s 200,000-strong army for more than a month. Zhuge Liang did everything he could, including digging tunnels, and did not break Hao Zhao’s guarding the city of Chencang by any means. Dong Er, a debauchery, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "There is a way to break the white horse city."
"Does the king have a clever plan?" Jia Xu hurriedly asked.
"Wenhe, you can see that although the White Horse City is relatively high in terrain, it is flat all around, which is conducive to the action of the army exhibition." Kang Peng pointed to the sand table and explained, "If our army sacks are filled with soil and catapults are thrown into the city to form a stepped army, we can easily enter the city. Although this method is stupid for a general guarding the city like Hao Zhao, it is the most difficult to crack." In the face of Kang Peng’s rapid progress, what can Jia Xu say that it can be a sigh?
There are thousands of sacks filled with soil to attack the city, but it is just the rain in Mao Mao for Dong Zhuojun with rich resources and abundant materials. Don’t say that the sack filled with soil to attack the city is the sack filled with grain and copper coins to attack Kang Peng, which is absolutely affordable. Kang Peng is worried that Dong Chong, the stupid pig, didn’t bring enough sacks in the army. Just in his letter, Dong Chong asked Kang Peng to form a new Dong Erjun. Kang Peng, by the way, led by Ai Yu and Ma Jiasan, has expanded more than 4,000 people. The new Dong Erjun is sending 30,000 sacks to the north to Baima
When Dong Chong put Dong Zhuojun’s Yongzhou Legion on on hold for a little while, it was already untimely when he set off for the East County. Dong Zhuojun’s pioneer fighters patrolled around the East County to prevent anyone from coming in and out of the city. Cao Cao knew that the decisive battle with Dong Zhuojun in the wild was just to take eggs and touch stones, but instead of sending troops out of the city to fight, Dong Zhuojun’s main force surrounded the East County to prepare Dong Zhuojun to attack and defend the city. Looking from the East County, the endless situation of Dong Zhuojun’s marginal camps in the wild was really scary.
Dong Zhuojun camped out and decided that Dong Zhuojun’s people would go to the front of Kang Peng and well-documented together. They all wanted to take on the vanguard of attacking Dongjun. People were so enthusiastic. Kang Peng naturally couldn’t help but immediately light up Li Jue and Guo Si, who were good at siege. They asked them to lead the Flying Bear Army to be the pioneer of siege. At this time, the soldiers suddenly reported that "a child.when the North Gate of Dawangdong County came out, a man played a white flag and claimed to be a messenger of Cao Cao, hoping that the king could meet with him."
"Cao Cao wants to surrender?" Kang Peng rejoiced and said, "Come here quickly." Honestly speaking, Kang Peng has been fighting for Cao Cao for ten years, and he is more and more respectful of Cao Cao, a traitor in troubled times. If Cao Cao is really willing to surrender to Kang Peng, he will certainly keep his promise and seal the king of Cao Cao to Liu Bei, the pseudo-monarch who was blown away. Even if he comes to surrender to Kang Peng, he will not let Liu Bei go.
In a moment, Cao Caojun’s emissary was taken into Dong Zhuojun’s camp, and Kang Peng was disappointed by Cao Caojun’s personal letter with both hands. It means that there is still no surrender in Cao Caoxin’s letter, which means to make a request to Kang Peng. Because there are still many koo people in Dongjun City who will not leave the city, Cao Cao hopes that Kang Peng can let these koo people leave the battlefield and be caught in the war.
"Well, give the people of Dongjun an hour and then attack the city alone." Kang Pengnai said that despite disappointment, Kang Peng generously agreed to Cao Cao’s request. First, Kang Peng sympathized with these koo people. Second, Cao Cao refused to serve Liu Bei as the emperor. Kang Peng also knew that Kang Peng always had to repay Cao Cao’s favor.
Cao Caojun’s emissary thanked him and went to the north gate of East County a little while later. Sure enough, thousands of people filed out of the city with white flags to help the elderly and the young, pushing carts and carts with farm tools. Mu Cha cried from time to time and went out from the queue to check the situation. Kang Peng’s rare conscience was painful, so he ordered the grain inspector to distribute food to these people and told these poor people to go to Dong Zhuojun’s rear so that they could have a chance of survival.
The wall Cao Cao and Guo Jia were in tears, especially Cao Cao’s eyes were staring at a young man mixed in the crowd. It seemed that this young man was left in Cao Cao’s eyes, and the young man seemed to know that his father’s mood turned back and smiled at his father. Cao Cao could no longer control his feelings and knelt on the wall and cried …
An hour later, I arrived at the North Gate of Dongjun County, which was closed before half a column of incense. At this moment, I don’t know how many Cao Caojun soldiers were carrying big stones at the North Gate, and the North Gate was bombed by Dong Zhuojun’s gunpowder. In half an hour, Dong Zhuojun’s feet were bowed and his catapult poured arrows and stones at Dongjun Chengtou, and after giving Cao Caojun a mawei, Kang Peng pulled out a big knife and pointed to the city and shouted, "Unified and leveled Dongjun City!"
"unification!" Li Jue brandished a knife and roared that the first one rushed to the wall. Behind him were several soldiers carrying ladders and pushing Yuntai Dong Zhuojun, shouting "Unification! Unification! " Rush to Dongjun City from all directions.
"I’d rather die than live on my knees" hurried from the tunnel to catch the wall next to Cao Cao’s big drink a way. Xiahou Dun, Zhang He, Xu Jun and Yu Ban, Li Dian and others roared at the city, and the arrows were as dense as rain, imitating Dong Zhuojun’s making a thunderbolt car, and they also showed off their arrows and stones to Dong Zhuojun’s head.
The arrows and rain like locusts in the city seemed to cover the sky with red eyes. Cao Caojun desperately smashed the city wall with big stones, rolling logs and grey bottles, and Dong Zhuojun’s eyes were red. Dong Zhuojun put his weapon in his mouth and threatened his hands and feet at any time. He climbed down the ladder and shouted at the city wall. From time to time, soldiers from both sides pestered and fell from the city wall. More soldiers from both sides were red with blood in less than half an hour.
It’s evening, and the battle has entered a white-hot stage. The positions of Chengtou changed several times. Dong Zhuojun, the general of Chongcheng, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Mona Lee and Wang Fang were injured successively in attacking the city wall. Su Li was hit on the head by a big stone in the first round of charge and died. The injured soldiers were sent back to the rear in an endless stream. Hua Tuo personally led more than 1,000 Dong Zhuojun military doctors and thousands of nurses to rescue and dress the wounded. There were mountains of medicinal bags and military doctors everywhere in the barracks.
Kang Peng, a modern man, has been paying attention to the training and protection of military doctors since he took over Dong Zhuojun, and introduced the nurse system. Ten years ago, Hua Tuo, an official fan, led a group of younger brothers, Kang Peng to train 10,000 qualified doctors and nurses to fight in the war field and make great contributions to the reunification of the people’s western cool army. Of course, it is not so good to have a good doctor who is not married to Hua Tuo.
Dong Zhuojun suffered heavy casualties here, and Cao Caojun was not easy there. Although he occupied a favorable position in the city wall, Cao Caojun faced several times his own and was well-equipped, Dong Zhuojun still suffered heavy casualties. Except for Dong Zhuojun’s foot bow, catapult and powder keg attack, Cao Caojun and Dong Zhuojun reached a one-to-one casualty ratio, which was an amazing proportion for the defenders. Although Cao Cao also had a doctor like Zhang Zhongjing, Cao Caojun’s injured soldiers were short of medical care and it was difficult to get effective treatment, which made Cao Caojun’s troops scarce and even more difficult to deploy.
"It is reported that the emergency statistics of the King have come out. Up to now, more than 4,000 soldiers of our army have been killed and nearly 10,000 people have been injured." An army staff officer told Kang Peng that it has only been two hours since the war, and Dong Zhuojun has killed more than 4,000 soldiers. This is evident from the fierce fighting.
"Very well" Kang Peng nodded and cried "To send another 50,000 troops to change the casualties. The first round of troops cooperated with the second round to continue the siege." This is the second time that Kang Peng has sent more troops to siege. Despite the huge casualties, Kang Peng doesn’t even frown. Because Kang Peng knows that Dong Zhuojun sacrificed a soldier in front, but Cao Caojun can supplement two soldiers from the rear, and one person is dead and one person is missing.
According to Kang Peng’s information, Cao Cao won’t have much power left. Dong Zhuojun marched into Qingzhou Fortress. The East County was arranged in Baima. A little force was to stop Dong Zhuojun from joining forces with Jizhou Legion and Yongzhou Legion. There was no decent force in Qingzhou behind Cao Cao. Dong Zhuojun had to wipe out Cao Caojun’s main force in the East County. It would be a Ma Pingchuan to stop it. If Cao Cao fled back to Qingzhou and wanted to destroy Cao Cao, it would be much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Kang Peng would storm the East County at the expense of blood. It would consume less military power in Qingzhou in the future.
