The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 354: A Fierce Battle Against the City, a Fierce Confrontation

Ordering his men to escort Guan Xin's family back to the camp, Yang Du shouted in the direction of Guan Xin: "The whole world is the territory of the Han Dynasty. Where can your family escape to? You will be killed at your neck, and I will Reunite your family."

Guan Xin also knew that he was telling the truth, and sighed, "Stop talking too much! Let's fight to the death!"

When patting the horse, he was about to lead the army to charge. The two junior colonels next to him looked at each other, and one of them pushed Guan Xin off his horse. When several soldiers saw this, they immediately stepped forward and tied up Guan Xin.

The primary school officer took out an imperial edict and shouted loudly: "The king has ordered us to send troops to retreat. We cannot allow you to follow Guan Xin and die in vain."

The officers and soldiers set up their formation and waited for Guan Xin to lead the army to rush over.Suddenly I saw Guan Xin's troops, changing back and forth, and quickly retreated into the city.

Angrily, Du Yu cursed: "You bastard! Drag Guan Xin's family to the city and drag them to death."

Yang Du was also very angry, he was about to go to war, but you ran away.It was you who went out of the city to form an formation first, and let your subordinates slam the city wall.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a dozen relatives of Guan Xin were dragged by Du Yu's cavalry and ran back and forth around the city, screaming in pain.Guan Xin's son may not have been tied tightly, or he may be petite and slipped out of the rope.The cavalryman who dragged him immediately got off his horse and helped him tie it up, and then dragged him.

The steward of the city was tied to a pillar, and his teeth were broken.Seeing his family being tortured and killed by Du Yu's cavalry, he was helpless.A piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth, and his soldiers had been recruited by Zhang Ling. What awaited him would be the end of his head being dismembered.

Ignoring the housekeeper's pleas for mercy, Du Yu really let people drag them to death. Du Yu rode a horse and stood at the foot of the city, holding up a whip and shouting: "There are rebels in the city. If you surrender to me, Du Yu can protect your family from worries, otherwise After the city was broken, all the three tribes of Yi and their tribes were sent to the Persians."

The rebel soldiers in the city were whispering to each other. They had naturally heard of this butcher who liked to build temples. The city had tried its best to conceal the news of Du Yu's army's conquest. Now that Du Yu's identity was revealed, the deterrent effect was still great.

Seeing the frightened expressions of the soldiers, Zhang Ling whipped the loudest soldiers with his riding whip: "What are you afraid of! Isn't Du Yu a human being? We will hold on to the city and there will be reinforcements from Qingzhou and Yuyang." On the way here."

The soldiers didn't dare to speak anymore, Zhang Ling's personal guard said in a low voice, "Your Majesty told us to kill Guan Xin."

Looking at Guan Xin who was tied to the pillar and fainted from anger, Zhang Ling said, "Throw him out of the city."

Guan Xin survived after being thrown into the city, but he also broke his leg. Yang Du ordered people to trample him into mud.He couldn't bear it anymore. The supplies had arrived. Now the new army's weapons and equipment had been replenished. He was going to attack the city in the afternoon.

Seeing that the fortifications under the city began to dig into the city of Zhuojun, the defenders on the city fired several cannons, but to no avail, so they called Zhang Ling over.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling couldn't figure out what the officers and soldiers were trying to do. Can they dig the city wall by digging ditches?Ask your subordinates to arrange soldiers at the top of the city to snipe and kill the outcropping officers and soldiers.

"What happened?" Du Yu asked.

Chi Taining said with a smile: "Not bad, the people on the city can't hit us. Our people have dug to the root of the city wall, and we can bury the gunpowder when it gets dark."

Nodding, Du Yu said: "After the arrangements are made, blow up the wall for me. Set up the machine gun and guard the gap."

Yang Du became impatient with waiting, so he asked his subordinates to check the progress over and over again.There were a large number of rocks underground at the west gate where he mainly attacked, and progress was very slow.It was less than three hours before the agreed attack time, but I had dug less than half of it.

If you miss this opportunity and let the people in the city discover their plan to blow up the city wall, your side will be passive.

Said fiercely to his general. "Speed ​​up, take turns digging, and open a few forks to find an easy digging route. The fortifications must be pushed to the bottom of the city before dark. Otherwise, it's time for the general offensive. You and I will rush up with explosives."

Fortunately, Yang Du quickly found a much easier route, and the excavation speed was very fast. His side was not as good as Du Yu's men, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured during the excavation.

It was just dark, and Du Yu's main attacking troops had finished their meal and entered the fortifications.Yang Du sent someone to report that his side was ready.

"Blast it! Prepare to fight!" Du Yu ordered.

Accompanied by a violent explosion, a gap five feet wide was blown out of the eastern city wall. The new army hidden in the tunnel rushed into the city through the thick smoke, stepping on the collapsed stones.He quickly found a suitable place behind the wall and set up a firepower point.Harvesting was carried out against the defenders, and subsequent troops were also entering the city continuously.

Yang Du in the west was afraid that the gunpowder would not be powerful enough, so he filled up a large amount of gunpowder and blew up more than half of the west wall, including the city gate.

His men rushed into the city, quickly eliminated the defenders, and began to clear the stones from the west gate. His cavalry was impatient.

"Tonight is the night of killing people, and today is the time for meritorious service! Brothers, capture Yuan thief alive and enter the third rank of nobleman." Du Yu's general Han Gui shouted loudly, and then led his men along the street to clean up the rebels. military.

Zhang Ling still has some skills in defending the city. He set up many strongholds in the streets and alleys of the city to fight against the new army that invaded the city.

As a result, the new army fell into street fighting. Every time it took a step forward, it would encounter a large number of rebels blocking it, and the progress was very slow.The loss of several parties is also very large, which makes Du Yu very dissatisfied.

"Speed ​​up the cleaning and bring the artillery in. Don't rely on people to break through those firepower points, use artillery to remove them." After Du Yu ordered, Chi Taining personally led people to move stones from the gap in the city wall.

Yang Du unexpectedly encountered the main force of the rebels. Relying on the fortifications on the roof, the rebels launched a fierce attack on Yang Du's troops, causing Yang Du to suffer heavy losses.He himself was shot in the arm. Fortunately, some artillery had been brought in on his side, and now he was able to push back the rebels with the suppression of artillery.

He was about to command his men to advance when he was thrown down by his guards, and then a shell exploded not far from him. The guard who rescued him was killed on the spot, and he was also dizzy from the shock wave.

"Grandma, how can this group of rebels have such strong firepower that they can even engage in artillery battles with us. Let the cavalry rush up and destroy their artillery." Yang Du said angrily.

Most of the cavalry under his command are natives of Jizhou, and they all have some skills on horseback.After rushing to the front, they quickly broke through the defense line formed by the rebels. They continued to attack under positive pressure, but were sneak attacked by the rebels hiding on the roofs and in houses on the roadside. It was difficult to turn around for a while, and dozens of people were killed and injured.
