Chapter 2127 The Veteran Shows His Power
The owner of the cave was taken out by Deng Zhan.
Huang Zhong asked Cao Shu: "Don't your lord really want to humiliate him?"
"There are many soldiers in the army, and there are inevitably a few heavy flavors." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If he really doesn't cooperate, I really may give him to those soldiers for entertainment."
Huang Zhong looked surprised.
He didn't expect that Cao Shu would deal with the captured enemy generals like this.
Since Huang Zhong led his troops to conquer, he has only heard that captured enemy soldiers were sometimes slaughtered or even dismembered for the soldiers to be recreated. No one else had thought of them except Cao Shu.
"It's not early, Han Sheng should rest." Cao Shuo gestured to Huang Zhong for a moment and reminded: "I will attack the city tomorrow morning."
With Cao Shu's permission, Huang Zhong had already made plans to attack the city.
He also knew very well that if he didn't sleep well at night, he would not expect to sleep again until the cannons roar the next day.
What's more, I have to break Jiaozhi tomorrow...
Huang Zhong stood up and said, "I'll take my leave first."
When Huang Zhong left, Cao Shu also followed him out of the commander's account.
He looked in Jiaozhi for a long time, but he didn't return to the tent.
Zhu Ao, who was by his side, reminded: "Lord, it's getting late, so it's time to go back and rest."
"You said, our army will capture Zhu Rong tomorrow?" Cao Shuo asked him.
Zhu Ao replied: "Their elephants were all made of meat and ivory. In front of our army, the barbarians were like straw. It would be absolutely impossible to break through Jiaozhi."
"You are very optimistic." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "But I always feel that tomorrow's battle is not that easy to fight. Although our army is strong, Zhurong is not a good person after all. It is easy to break Jiaozhi, but it is probably not that easy to capture her."
"Can you capture her? Will you meet until tomorrow?" Zhu Ao said, "Don't you have to take it to heart, so let's take a break first."
Zhu Ao said something was reasonable. Cao Shu nodded and turned around and walked into the coach's tent.
Nothing happened that night.
The corpses of the barbarians had been buried by the Wei army, while the corpses of the war elephants were divided into pieces and became carnivorous food reserved by the Wei army's military supplies.
The tranquility of the night was spread on the ground with the first dawn light, and was broken by the busy Wei army.
There were smoke rising from the Wei army's barracks, and the soldiers were already making fires and making meals.
Cao Shuo's army never lacked food, and the soldiers had three meals a day, one meal a lot.
This is also what other heroes envied when they once fought in the Central Plains.
The Wei army camp outside the city was filled with smoke from cooking, but the barbarians in the city had no intention of having breakfast at all.
Living in the wilderness, barbarians often eat the first meal but don’t have the next meal. They have long been used to the days when they don’t eat in the morning.
The smoke from the Wei army gradually dissipated and the soldiers began to eat.
Although the soldiers had already arose, both sides still maintained this relative calm, and no one would break it.
Looking at the Wei army camp on the top of Jiaozhi City, Zhuge Liang suddenly said, "No, the enemy is planning to attack the city."
Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Zhu Rong hurriedly asked, "They are going to fire again?"
"I'm afraid it's not just firing artillery." Zhuge Liang said: "I'd like to order as soon as possible to let the warriors hide it. When the cannon sounds stopped, the enemy will launch an attack."
The night before, Zhuge Liang reminded Zhurong that he must not let the elephant soldiers leave the city.
Zhu Rong was planning to order the Lord of the Cave to return, but the Xiangbing had already been killed by that time.
After being bombarded by the Wei army, hundreds of war elephants died on the battlefield, and the elephant soldiers were almost wiped out.
The few elephants who returned were all injured and could not continue to fight.
Without the elephant soldiers, the difficulty of the barbarian warriors defending the city will be more than doubled.
Zhu Rong ordered to the barbarians beside him: "Go and tell the warriors, and ask them all to hide and never run out and walk around!"
When the order was issued, the barbarians hid in the hiding place that Zhuge Liang chose for them.
Not long after, the Wei army's artillery array fired again.
The loud bang was deafening.
The barbarians who have experienced several shellings have become accustomed to this.
They hid in places where shells could not easily hit, waiting for the end of the shelling.
The shelling lasted for a whole day. When the sound of cannons stopped ringing, there was already smoke inside and outside the city wall.
The artillery fired the cannon all day long. Huang Zhong looked at Jiaozhi City, which was filled with smoke. He carried his sword and got on his horse, shouting to the soldiers: "Soldiers, kill with me!"
With Huang Zhong's order, the Wei soldiers who had been prepared long ago rushed to Jiaozhi City like a tide.
The Wei army launched an attack, and the barbarians in the city responded quickly.
The barbarians who had hidden themselves to avoid shelling ran to the city gate and ran to the collapsed city gate.
The barbarians were ready to fight, and the artillery of the Wei army opposite opened fire again.
The shells flew over the heads of the Wei soldiers who were charging and landed towards Jiaozhi City.
The barbarians gathered at the top of the city and near the city gate were unable to hide and were blown away by shells.
The barbarians' defense was disrupted by the Wei army again. Huang Zhong, who was charging, pointed forward: "Kill with me!"
When the Wei army was about to rush under the city wall, the shelling stopped again.
However, the barbarians guarding the city had not yet recovered from the panic caused by the shelling. Many people still hugged their heads to avoid shells that had not flown again.
Huang Zhong was the first to enter the city gate, and the tide of Wei army followed him in.
The barbarians on the city wall did not have the chance to shoot arrows at the city, because in front of them, countless Wei troops boarded the ladder, pushed the siege tower, and launched an offensive to climb the city.
The two sides fought in Jiaozhi City, and Huang Zhong waved his big sword to slash the barbarian warriors who were standing in front of him.
Although he was old, he was like returning to his youth when he was fighting.
The barbarians who stood in front of him were cut down to the ground one after another, and the Wei army behind Huang Zhong also hit the barbarians who stopped them from entering the city like a torrent.
The artillery bombardment provided the best cover for the Wei army, and the Wei army climbed up without much effort.
On the top of the city and in the gate, both sides shouted and killed each other, and they all struggled to move forward.
In the central army of the Wei army, Cao Shuo stood in his horse under the commander's flag.
Looking at the battle ahead, he said to the generals beside him: "Huang Hansheng led the way. After this battle, I am afraid that the barbarians would tremble when they mentioned his name. Who else would you say in the future that he is old and can no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"
"General Huang is extremely brave, who dares to say he?" Xiahou Dun said: "I didn't dare to imagine that he could still charge on the battlefield at his age."
