Chapter two hundred and sixty fourth anger
The defense behind Guancheng was not tight. Perhaps, these Shu troops did not expect that Cao's army would come out from the rear. Therefore, when the grain team disguised as Cao's army came to the city gate, the closed soldiers opened the city gate without even asking questions, making the Cao army generals who had already prepared a set of speeches a little uncomfortable.
Hurry~
After entering the city gate, the grain truck suddenly fell.
"What's going on?" The school in charge of guarding the city gate looked at the group of people impatiently.
"The grain truck is broken!" The general of Cao's army quickly smiled, and secretly ordered people to attack the outside of the city where Ai Shoujun could not see.
Cao Hong, who was hiding outside the city, saw the signal and immediately led his men and horses to rush over without saying a word.
"No, the enemy attack!" The little school guard's face changed, and he grabbed the general Cao's army and said, "What are you still stunned? Let's go!"
"But the grain cart..." The general of Cao's army was ready to draw his sword, but was pulled by the other party, looking at the other party in a daze.
"Why are you still in charge of the grain truck at this time? It will be too late if you don't leave!" As he said that, the school pulled Cao General and his men and ran wildly. Only then did the school realize that the inside of the city gate was a little different from what he imagined. It was a long corridor. After a group of people entered a door, they closed the door directly, but no one cared about the city gate.
Being trapped!
The general of Cao's army felt nervous and wanted to remind Cao Hong, but at this moment, there were Shu troops around him, so how could he remind him?
"Oh? Why didn't your subordinates keep up?" The gatekeeper school found something at this time and asked with a smile.
"I'll call them!" The general of Cao's army moved his expression when he heard this, turned around and wanted to go out.
"No need, I can only blame them for being unlucky." The gatekeeper sighed. He had already received Liu Yi's instructions. If Cao's army suddenly attacked, he didn't have to worry about the city gate and retreated directly into the back of the corridor. But he didn't expect that Cao's army would be so thief who actually came out while delivering food and grass. He patted the general Cao's shoulder with some regret: "You should be under my command first. Let's talk about it after destroying this Cao army. I'll see the opportunity later and kill a few more Cao's army. By the way, what's your name?"
"Zhou...Zhoutong." General Cao spoke a little unscrupulously. What's this called? Do you have to kill a few more Cao's troops by yourself?
I was extremely anxious, but I had no choice but to wait here.
Cao Hong successfully entered the city gate, but did not encounter decent obstacles. After Cao Hong rushed in the long corridor for a while, he gradually realized something was wrong. It was too smooth and there was not even a decent resistance. And who would build a corridor in the city?
Looking at both sides, I suddenly found that an enemy was locking this side on the bracket. My heart sank. Not long after rushing into the corridor, Cao Hong quickly stopped rushing: "Retreat!"
"Boom~" At this moment, a gate fell from the sky, blocking everyone's retreat.
"Crack~" The moment the gate landed, cracks appeared. The cement-made gate was obviously not strong enough. Although it was so powerful, it was not strong enough.
Cao Hong obviously noticed this, pointed the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Breaking open the gate!"
On the city wall, Liu Yi looked at this scene and sighed helplessly. Even with the blessing of attributes, he could not completely change the nature of the object itself. He did not break into a pile directly. He nodded to the generals beside him, and a broken army crossbow emerged from the city wall. With the sound of Jikuan moving, ten crossbow arrows roared out. At the same time, the archers who had already been ambushed on the brackets on both sides of the corridor also began to shoot arrows at Cao's army.
Cao Hong's troops did not all rushed in, and Cao Hong discovered something was wrong. At this moment, there were actually only four or five hundred people around him. Liu Yi didn't care about the troops outside the city. Without the commander, he could not make any trouble. His target was Cao Hong, the leader, and the tragic situation of the three villages being massacred, which made Liu Yi have the idea of killing Cao Hong.
Don’t say that life in troubled times is like grass. In Liu Yi’s concept, fighting and killing people is inevitable. However, the practice of slaughtering the people at will makes Liu Yi feel disgusted. Liu Yi will at least maintain the respect he deserves to Xiahou Yuan, but Liu Yi cannot respect Cao Hong and Liu Yi.
Most of the crossbow arrows on the bridge arch were heading for Cao Hong. Although Cao Hong was brave, he had no place to hide in the corridor at this moment. After a while, under Liu Yi's target, his body was covered with arrows like a hedgehog, and fell into a pool of blood.
When the Cao army who came with him saw that the commander general was killed in battle and the city gate was blocked, many people chose to kneel down and ask for surrender. Liu Yi frowned. After thinking about it, he ordered people to confiscate the weapons and armor of the Cao army, and then tied them up and detained them.
It is hard to bear to kill, but it is not necessary to let go or take it for oneself. When Cao's army goes to war, his family members are generally detained in the rear. If they really take it for oneself, they may be able to turn against each other at the time. Liu Yi can only take these people first and find a way to deal with it after the war.
Even if you cannot receive it in the army, you can still be the most guilty army, and you can dig a canal to benefit the people. In this year, there is no time for the population to be too high.
Soon, the Cao army was taken into custody.
"Boom~"
The cement gate was also shortly afterwards, and was broken by Cao's army outside the city, but in the corridor, only Cao Hong's body was covered with arrows, dead and lying in a pool of blood. A group of Cao's army was stunned.
The commander was dead and the morale of the army suddenly became in chaos. Liu Yi immediately ordered the arrow to be fired, and at the same time ordered the people hiding behind the corridor to fight out and chase Cao's army.
Cao's army had a large number, but the morale of the army was already in chaos at this moment. In addition, a large number of Shu troops suddenly surged out of the surrounding corridors. For a moment, they felt that the opponent had many soldiers and had no intention of fighting again. They hurriedly retreated and were chased by two hundred soldiers sent by Liu Yi for more than ten miles, more than two thousand people, and in the end only hundreds of people escaped and scattered into the hills around Fangling.
Liu Yi ordered people to go to Fangling and sent someone to clean up the battlefield. The troops and horses in the levels could not move around.
"Sir, if Cao Hong's head was hung above the city wall, it might be able to damage the morale of Cao's army!" Meng Da came to Liu Yi and smiled at Cao Hong's body.
Although a person dies, he still has value in use.
Liu Yi had no good feelings for Cao Hong, and nodded after hearing this, saying, "General Meng will deal with this matter. After using it, you can send the head to the lord to ask for me."
Including Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin, who was captured and killed earlier, this is already the third general of Cao Jun who died at Liu Yi. I wonder what Boss Cao will feel when he knows it?
Liu Yi's mood is actually quite complicated now. I guess after this battle, he will become a person on Boss Cao's list of must-killers. He will have to be more careful in the future and must not take risks. If others are captured, there will be at least a chance to be surrendered. If he takes it on his own, he will probably die.
After thinking about it, Liu Yi looked at Meng Da and said, "In addition, I sent someone to order Fangling, the villages in Xixian, and these Cao troops were dispersed. Although they were unable to attack our army again, they would poison the people. If they encountered it, they could capture and kill them, they could come to the government to exchange for rewards. If they were defeated, they would mainly protect themselves!"
At present, there is really no extra force or energy to pursue these defeated troops, and they can only rely on the people to protect themselves.
"Here!" Meng Da bowed to Liu Yi and ordered someone to carry Cao Hong's body towards the city wall. Liu Yi ordered someone to start cleaning up the corridor.
After Meng Da took Cao Hong's body, he immediately ordered people to hang it on the city wall. At first, Cao's army did not understand the intention, but someone recognized Cao Hong's armor and hurriedly informed Cao Ren.
Cao Ren rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw Cao Hong's body hanging on the city wall, he felt a roar in front of him and almost fell to the ground. The general beside him quickly supported him.
"How dare you insult my brother?" After Cao Ren woke up, he pointed to the city wall and said murderously: "If you don't kill you today, I will not be a human being! All the soldiers obey orders and attack me!"
Meng Da was ready, and seeing Cao's army rushing towards him, the city wall was prepared. This was also the effect Meng Da wanted. Although Cao's army's attack was fierce, Cao Ren was so angry that his layout was much more messed up.
Sometimes siege wars do not work as many people. Generally, charge troops, troops responsible for archery suppression, and long-range equipment such as rear catapults are clearly layered and focused on the layout. When to attack, when to go on the wheel, how can the archers in the rear suppress the opponent to the maximum extent and save their own troops and the strength of their soldiers. These are all in particular. They are siege in a swarm of siege, looking surging, but they are the favorite way of siege in the city. There will be a lot of waste here, and many soldiers don’t even know what they are going to do. Therefore, generals who are defending the city will find every means to anger the siege. As long as the rules are disordered, the pressure on defending the city will be greatly reduced.
But the siege general is not a fool, so he naturally understands this principle and is rarely easily angered. Even if he is really angry, this rule can still be stabilized.
But this time, watching Cao Hong's body hanging on the city wall by the enemy, Cao Ren obviously could not stabilize it anymore. He now just wanted to break through the city as quickly as possible, crush Meng Da's bones and ashes, and cut him into pieces!
In the city of Guancheng, after Liu Yi cleaned up Cao Hong, he returned to the salted fish state and directed the craftsmen to clean the broken cement gate and replace it with a design. This time, the gate cannot fall down all at once, but should slowly fall down through the rope. In this way, it should not be broken as soon as it fell down.
