Chapter 1907: The Battle of Sishang
Under the instructions of Wang Zhen, the old and weak women and children who had no strength to restrain the chicken were sent to the battlefield. The shouts of killing under the city wall made these women who were married to their husbands and raised their children, all look pale, even if they were
Even the tough scoundrel would be so frightened that his legs would become weak when he encounters such a scene.
"Fire arrows...!" Chen Chu looked at these women and children worriedly. These people couldn't pull the strong bows at all, so they could only aim at the enemy with heavy crossbows. As soon as the swishing arrows were fired, these women were frightened.
After a quick jump, one or two of them, urged by the ordering soldiers behind them, carefully picked up the crossbow again. They looked extremely cautious.
Cao Cao was wearing light armor and a red shirt on his back. He squinted his eyes and held the sword in his arms. He looked at the densely packed soldiers on the city wall. He raised his eyebrows on the left cheek slightly and sighed while stroking his beard.
: "This king is really digging his own grave. He actually encouraged these villagers to fight against our army. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
"Father, did you give the order? Let me lead the troops to capture this city!" Cao Ning held a silver gun and his eyes were like fire. It seemed to him that it would be easy to defeat this city.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought about it, flicked his shirt, picked up the command arrow and said: "Call Cao Wenzhao to lead three thousand elite Cao troops to break through the city all the way and climb the city wall first! Cao Ning and Cao Kerang will each lead five thousand sword and axemen.
Attack the city gate head-on. At three quarters of noon, if we can't take the city gate, we will hit twenty big boards each. Cao Hu and Cao Pi's archers suppress the bows and arrows on the city wall!"
"No!" After receiving the order, the generals of the Cao family sent out their own troops to fight. Cao Cao stroked his beard and then said: "Gao Aocao, you lead the catapult to attack!"
"No!" After the general gave the order, Cao Cao squinted his eyes, considered it for a long time, and said after a while: "Han Jian! Shi Bao, you two, take Han Jian as your commander, lead 10,000 soldiers, cross the moat, and attack Si
Go up to the west city wall, Ma Wu and Ma Cheng each lead five thousand men and horses, attack the east city wall, attack from three sides, the city will be destroyed today!"
"I'll obey!"
After greeting everyone, Wang Zhen, who was guarding the city on the city wall, frowned, as if he could drip water. Cao Cao divided his troops into three groups, crossing the Sishui River head-on. The other two also crossed the lake and approached the east and west cities. There was no need for this.
He said that Wang Zhen knew Cao Cao's intentions.
Wang Zhen suppressed the panic in his heart and called Heng Chu beside him! Chen Chu said: "You two each lead two thousand soldiers and call on the people to defend the city wall. Be extremely careful!"
"Don't worry, general! I won't miss you!" Hengchu assured him by patting his chest, then turned sideways and led his troops back to support.
"Charge!" Cao Ning held a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right hand, leading the charge with five thousand swordsmen and axemen. Seeing that the moat could not be crossed, he shouted angrily: "Bring the ladder over here, set it up in front, lay out long logs, and let me charge!"
"Kill!" The surrounding soldiers carrying ladders pressed the ladders toward the other side of the river. Then a few smart soldiers placed their shields on them. The soldiers under their command followed suit one by one, and then charged forward without fear of death.
"Charge me!" A corps commander, protected by four soldiers behind him, charged forward at the lead, his eyes wide open and he said: "Kill...!"
"Whoosh!" A cold crossbow passed through the wind and hit the man's throat, killing him there. The corps leader even cursed beforehand: "Damn it...that's it...!"
The woman and child who shot the team leader were immediately overjoyed. They grabbed the soldier on the side and said, "Look! I hit... I hit!"
The soldier was a little irritated. In his opinion, he just shot an insignificant person. But the next second, a cold arrow shot out, hitting the woman's heart and lungs. The originally joyful atmosphere was filled with tragedy.
Great joy and great sadness.
"Pass!" Casualties during the siege were inevitable. Cao Ning had no time to hesitate and suddenly waved his hands and shouted angrily. The soldiers under his command stepped on the ladders and charged forward to approach the city wall.
"Cao's army has already approached the city wall, do we still have to wait?" Yu Ziqi, who had been sitting under the tree, couldn't hold back his anger. He supported his thighs with both hands. His face was filled with anger, but his heart was so anxious that he couldn't express it.
of worry.
"Don't be reckless, Wang Zhen is not at the end of his rope yet!" Jing Si stood under the tree, holding his sword and looking at the battle in Si. His eyes were slightly raised. Although he was calm, he began to lose his composure and looked back.
Xiang Yu remained motionless as a mountain. Jing Si asked, "Your Majesty...!"
"No hurry!" Xiang Yu's words were like a needle that calmed the sea, making Jing Si and Yu Ziqi's uneasy hearts return to calm. The two looked at each other, but neither said a word. Yu Ziqi seemed to be unable to sit still and said hello.
: "I'm going to reorganize the troops. Call me when the troops are dispatched!"
After Yu Ziqi finished speaking, he urged the soldiers at the foot of the mountain not to continue to be lazy and to prepare for battle.
On the battlefield in Sishang
"Pass my order! Shoot along the river and release arrows within two hundred steps. Chu Ding, you personally lead two thousand archers and keep an eye on the archers below. Once they are within shooting range, suppress them immediately and never let them fall.
No chance to breathe...!" Wang Zhen saw the archers under the city showing off their might and causing great damage to his soldiers. Moreover, the arrows used by the rebels were in the shape of a triangle. Once they were hit,
, the wound is extremely difficult to heal, and over time, the person will bleed to death.
"The last general has the order!" Chu Ding pressed the weapon in his hand, called to his soldiers, aimed in the direction of the enemy, struck first, and did not let them take the lead. He shouted angrily: "Let...!"
"Bahta...bahta!" As Cao Pi and others attracted attention on the city wall, Cao Ning and others felt less pressure. They grabbed the ladders and took the lead in climbing up the city wall.
"Hurry! Thunder Stone! Bring me all the rolling logs! Hurry!" Wang Zhen called to the people in the city to carry the stones.
"Throw it down...quickly!"
"Huh...boom!" A tug-of-war broke out on the city wall. Either the soldiers who climbed up were smashed to death, or the soldiers who were the first to climb up the city wall were hacked to death.
Gradually, the southeast corner of Si Shang began to lose its original superiority, and the gap continued to widen. Cao Wenzhao climbed up the city wall, wiped the blood from his sword with his armpit, leaned against the corner, and was crowded by the surrounding soldiers.
Cao Wenzhao's eyes widened with anger, and he was full of power. He shouted angrily: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
"Kill!" The surrounding soldiers fought against Cao Wenzhao head-on, but no one could defeat him. Because of Cao Wenzhao's bravery, the soldiers under the city wall climbed up the city wall one after another, with scarlet eyes and licking their lips one by one, as if they were
In their view, these people are their own merits.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Chen Chu looked at Cao Wenzhao showing off his power, gritted his teeth and fought angrily with a gun, shouting: "Cao Wenzhao, don't be so arrogant, Chen Chu is here!"
"promise!"
"Hahahaha, looking for death." I don't know why Cao Wenzhao burst out laughing. Maybe it was because he climbed onto the city wall and saw the hope of victory. Maybe it was Chen Chu's overestimation of his abilities that made him a little crazy. At this moment, Cao Wenzhao
Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, he suddenly chopped down the Xiang soldier in front of him, and shouted: "Come, come, come, let's see how I will take your head today!"
"Kill!" Chen Chu shouted angrily, holding a gun with one hand and stabbing Cao Wenzhao with a bit of cold light. This posture alone is enough to serve as a partial general, but in the eyes of a veteran general like Cao Cao Zhao, he is just a
Playing tricks at home.
"Change!" Seeing the two weapons intersecting, Chen Chu suddenly took the gun with both hands, and moved up and down to create a gun flower. Cao Wenzhao's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he realized that he was careless, and this Chen Chu was hiding his clumsiness.
"Whoosh!" The silver spear scratched Cao Wenzhao's cheek, and blood stained half of his face. Cao Wenzhao didn't have time to think about it, and turned over to avoid Chen Chu's killing move. Cao Wenzhao's face was frozen, and his eyes were fierce
Staring at Chen Chu, feeling the burning pain on his cheek, Cao Wenzhao said nothing. This was the price he paid for his carelessness. He admitted it. Cao Wenzhao held the knife in both hands, his face became solemn, staring at Chen Chu, Zhou
Murderous aura surged through his body.
Chen Chu's face was also condensed. Looking at the calm Cao Wenzhao, he couldn't help but grasp the silver gun in his hand. Ordinary military generals were fooled by him. Which one would not be angry, but Cao Wenzhao was calm and calm.
It gave Chen Chu a chill down his back.
"Kill!" Cao Wenzhao shouted, and the two tiger generals started to attack at the same time, shooting countless sparks, and the surrounding soldiers also started a tug-of-war.
Xiang Yu, who had been watching the fire from the other side, suddenly let go of his arms wrapped around his chest. Xiang Yu stepped on heavy steps and shouted angrily: "The whole army is setting off!"
"Get on the horse!" Yu Ziqi seemed to finally hear the voice he had dreamed of. He rode on his war horse, held the horse rope and shouted angrily: "Charge the whole army!"
"Kill..." A thunderous voice came from behind Cao Cao's 200,000-strong army. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle carefully, did not notice anything strange behind him. Wang Shenqi, who had been waiting for the general's orders under Cao Cao, urged his horse forward.
He said with a solemn expression: "There is movement behind the general!"
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, was in a good mood. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before Si Shang was taken down. However, when Wang Shenqi spoke, Cao Cao glanced back suspiciously. Cao Cao's face turned pale at this sight.
In Cao Cao's eyes, Xiang Zi's military flag was getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke was billowing. It was hard to see how many enemy troops there were. Cao Cao looked embarrassed and pointed at Wang Shenqi: "Lead your troops to stop them and send scouts to investigate! Quick!"
"Yes!" Wang Shenqi did not dare to delay. He immediately rode his horse and quickly rushed towards the battlefield to kill.
"Formation!" Wang Shenqi rode a war horse, and his five thousand soldiers and horses lined up in sequence. On both sides were Ran Qiu and Tang Wujiu. These two men each led their five thousand soldiers, with Wang Shenqi as the main one.
Strengthen the rear defense line.
Among them, Ran Qiu was a relatively unknown general. He was a disciple of Confucius and one of the seventy-two sages. He was good at military affairs. After the destruction of the Qi State, he accepted the imperial edict and joined the officialdom.
Yu Ziqi looked at the ordinary and extraordinary fighting method in front of him, sneered, and shouted: "Speed up and knock them away!"
"Kill...kill!" The three thousand tyrants burst out with unprecedented killing intent, roaring hysterically, seeming to build momentum for themselves.
"Archers! Fire arrows!" Wang Shenqi looked at the tyrants who were getting closer and closer. He drew his sword and shouted angrily. Thousands of archers under his command fired arrows, and the sound of arrows was like rain, but these tyrants seemed completely unaware.
They didn't care, as long as they didn't hit the cheek or throat, they kept rushing forward.
After a scattered wave of arrows, only thirty or forty people were killed, but Ba Qi's charging speed did not slow down, and he kept charging forward. The scalp of the people watching was numb, and the cavalry was relying on it.
It's the speed. Once the speed increases, it will be a little difficult to stop it.
"Keep going...!" Cold sweat broke out on Wang Shenqi's forehead. Looking at Baqi who was about to charge a few hundred meters away, Wang Shenqi couldn't sit still. He suppressed his inner uneasiness and shouted angrily: "
Let it go! Let it go!"
"No!..........Fire!" The deputy general was also a little uncomfortable, so he could only continue to shout out his voice to greet the soldiers under his command to fire arrows.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh!" Thousands of cold arrows, like locusts crossing the border, were filled with arrows, covering the heads of the tyrants. However, these tyrants seemed to have undergone special training and were still charging as usual. The horse
The speed is much faster than before.
One defeat was an accident, and two defeats depended on strength. Wang Shenqi hurriedly shouted angrily: "Raise your shield! Defend!"
"Boom!" However, everything was too late. Ba Qi collided directly with the cavalry, and there were scenes of people turning on their backs everywhere. With this sound, Wang Shenqi knew that he was finished.
"You bastard! I will fight with you!" Wang Shenqi seemed to be determined to die. He pulled out the sword in his arms, slapped the horse's buttocks, urged the horse to charge, and angrily shouted: "Death to the traitor!"
Xiang Yu, who was charging on horseback from behind, seemed too lazy to look at Wang Shenqi. He picked up a spear along the way, stared at Wang Shenqi with his eyes, and suddenly threw it away, as if making an insignificant action.
"Poof!" Wang Shenqi was thrown off his horse. He could only look at his horse and charged forward at a loss. Wang Shenqi looked at Xiang Yu in disbelief, his eyes full of unwillingness, and with one move...
He couldn't even take one of Xiang Yu's moves.
For Xiang Yu, killing Wang Shenqi was as easy as squeezing an ant to death. Xiang Yu didn't even activate his skills and just relied on his personal force value to kill Wang Shenqi.
Ran Qiu, who was watching the battle on the front line, knew that something was going wrong, so he immediately turned his horse around and gathered his troops to prevent the formation from gathering up the remaining troops and reduce losses.
"Report! General Cao! Xiang Yu led 10,000 elites to sneak attack on our rear!" Zhang Liao rode on his horse with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Oh!" Cao Cao stroked his beard, his triangular eyes exuding a glimmer of light. After a while, Cao Cao shouted angrily: "The rear army becomes the front army."
"General, this is...!" Lan Yu squinted her eyes, seemingly confused about Cao Cao's intentions.
Cao Cao said with an indifferent expression: "Xiang Yu attacked our army with only 10,000 soldiers and horses, but it was just a soft attack on the stone. How could I give up such a good opportunity? If I kill Xiang Yu, I will be ranked among the four towns!"
"General, don't be careless. News came from the front line that General Han Xin's 300,000 troops were defeated by Xiang Yu. We must not...!" Cao Zhi, who was accompanying the army on the expedition, said worriedly.
"Woman's kindness! Xiang Yu will eventually pay the price for his arrogance!" Cao Cao was quite satisfied with his ambition. He waved his hand and shouted angrily: "The rear army attacks and kills Xiang Yu!"
