Chapter 66 Xiaopei's Offensive and Defensive Battle
The importance of rock rolling wood for defending the city is beyond doubt, and it can even be said to be the most important weapon for defending the city. When the enemy climbs the city wall, it is difficult to have any effective way to kill the enemy. Rock rolling wood is an excellent way to kill.
Behind Lu Bu, Chen Gong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Divide the house, now you can only demolish the house as a rock and roll wood."
"Well, that's all." Lu Bu nodded and responded.
At this time, I can only give up my own self and take care of myself. I will still have a chance to defend Xiaopei after demolishing the house, but if I don’t demolish it, if there are no stones and rolling wood on the city tomorrow, I’m afraid it will be difficult to defend Xiaopei.
"Lord, if you demolish the house, I'm afraid the people in the city will complain." Zhang Liao bowed and said.
After hearing what Zhang Liao said, Lu Bu's face turned cold. Zhang Liao said it right. Going to demolish the people's houses will definitely make him feel resentful.
"Gao Shun." Lu Bu was stunned for a moment and shouted.
"The last one will be there." Gao Shun bowed his hand to obey the order.
"First, you can bring people from my mansion. You can just leave a few bedrooms for the women in the mansion." Lu Bu ordered in a serious tone.
"No." Gao Shun took the order and left.
Gao Shun has always been upright and has never been reduced to Lu Bu's orders.
"Why."
"Lord, why is this?" Chen Gong sighed and said.
Lu Bu shook his red cloak and shouted: "If the city is not here, what's the use of the mansion?"
That night, Gao Shun demolished Lu Bu's mansion overnight, and then many soldiers began to demolish the houses from near to far from the city wall. Originally, the people had complaints, but they heard that Lu Bu's mansion had also been demolished, leaving only a few bedrooms, so the people had nothing to say.
Lu Bu ordered people to set up tents in the city. For the people whose houses were demolished, Lu Bu would temporarily place them in the tent.
As soon as it was dawn, Cao's army, who had rested 10,000 yuan, began a new attack, as if they would not give up until they defeated Xiao Pei.
"All the soldiers, take down Xiao Pei."
"No military discipline is set within three days."
Under Xiaopei City, Cao's army gathered tens of thousands of troops, and some small schools began to boost their morale.
What does it mean to not set up military disciplines within three days? That means that once Xiao Pei is captured, the soldiers can kill, burn and loot within three days. It can be imagined that once Xiao Pei is captured, these Cao army soldiers who have been suppressed by the war for a long time will inevitably vent like a volcano eruption.
"Siege."
As the flags in the commander's hand were swinging heavily, tens of thousands of Cao troops began to rush towards the Xiaopei city walls with various engineering equipment.
On the city wall, Lu Bu began to shoot arrows under his command and shoot at the rushing Cao army. However, such a rain of arrows was not very lethal for Cao army holding a large shield.
Soon, Cao's army rushed to the city. The archers of Cao's army were shooting against Lu Bu's bow and arrows, and of course they were more of Cao's soldiers who were climbing the ladder.
On the city wall, the soldiers poured down the boiling golden juice. The boiling green and oily golden juice exuded a disgusting smell. After pouring down the basin of golden juice, the soldiers on the ladder immediately danced on the ladder.
In this era, people who were scalded by gold juice were basically no longer likely to survive. The various bacterial infections that came with the scald completely exceeded the medical cognition of this era.
After the golden juice, there were rolling stones and rolling wood. In an instant, the soldiers on the ladder fell down like dumplings.
Of course, occasionally there were so few Cao army soldiers climbing up the city wall, but unfortunately, as soon as they got on the wall, the waiting knives and axe players rushed over and chopped them into meat paste.
During the offensive and defensive battle this day, Lu Bu barely defended again. However, his soldiers also lost more than 2,000 more than 2,000. At this time, the defenders on the Xiaopei City Wall had only three thousand people.
In the evening, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.
Cao's camp.
The Central Army’s tent.
Cao Cao, who has a short figure and dark skin, sat in the big tent. He didn't look like a warlord, but more like a cooked cake.
Although he looked similar to the one who sold cooked cakes in the Song Dynasty, the difference between the two became great. The one who sold cooked cakes in the Song Dynasty had no power and had only one brother who could beat him, so his wife had to be sleeped by others.
But Cao Cao is different. Although he is not tall and has dark skin, Cao Cao is powerful and powerful, and has a group of brothers who can fight. So, Cao Cao likes to sleep in other people's daughter-in-law.
Cao Cao waited in the big tent for a while and saw a group of generals walking into the big tent. The armor of these people was still stained with blood, and it was obvious that they had just retreated from the battlefield not long ago.
When everyone arrived, Cao Cao pulled out the blue sword from his waist and shouted: "Everyone, this guy Lu Bu is obviously in a fight today. He will definitely get Xiao Pei in a fight tomorrow."
"Lord, Xu Chu was originally a pioneer." Xu Chu stepped out of the line and said in a muffled voice.
"Since..." Cao Cao was about to agree, but saw Liu Bei stand up.
"Ming Gong, my three brothers have been to you since they made a fortune. Why not make any contributions? How about letting my three brothers be this pioneer tomorrow?" Liu Bei said withdrew.
"Liu Xuande, there is a way to come first and then come. I'll ask for a fight first. This vanguard is not your turn." As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Xu Chu immediately said angrily.
Liu Bei did not argue with Xu Chu, but looked at Cao Cao.
Whoever is a pioneer is not counting when they are in a strong position. In the end, Cao Cao must have the final say.
The reason why Liu Bei asked for the vanguard was not that he really wanted to be loyal to Cao Cao. Liu Bei was an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf.
It was just because the three brothers had never made any contributions since they defected. Without making any contributions, Cao Cao naturally would not lead them to soldiers, but just let them obey orders under the tent.
Liu Bei was a little anxious because he could not take the troops. The reason why he surrendered to Cao Cao was because Cao Cao had many soldiers and had a wide range of generals. He wanted to find an opportunity to "borrow" an army from Cao Cao, and then he was planning to start up.
As for when to repay the borrowed soldiers, what? Why should I repay the borrowed things from my ability?
I'm asking, if I'm anxious, I'll pay it back next week.
Liu Bei was eager to make contributions. Only by making contributions can Cao Cao let him lead the troops.
Cao Cao thought about it in the third place, but decided to let the Liu Bei brothers and the other three be the pioneers. After all, this requires facing Lu Bu. Now, in Cao Cao's camp, only these three brothers can compete with Lu Bu.
"Okay, since Xuande asks for battle, then the three brothers will be the pioneers tomorrow." Cao Cao made the decision.
Boss Cao's prestige is still unquestionable. As soon as he spoke, Xu Chu naturally did not dare to say anything else.
