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

Chapter 439 The battle of Xuzhou, the end of the chaos

At dusk, the city wall of Pengcheng is golden in the setting sun.

Soldiers guarding the city stood on the tower.

Gu Yang looked at the official and military camps stretching for miles in the distance, feeling very worried.They were trapped in the city and could not break out. They had lost contact with the rebels in Xuzhou. The food and grass in the city were only enough for two months.

Thinking of this, Gu Yang felt very annoyed.Gu Yang thought about how to break through.

Suddenly, there were a few shouts of killing from a distance, which sounded like the officers and soldiers coming to kill.

Gu Yang hurriedly looked out.

Sure enough, not far in front of Gu Yang, the officers and soldiers pressed up. Every day, the officers and soldiers launched attacks from time to time, and the defenders were physically and mentally exhausted from being involved.

Gu Yang observed carefully and found that these people did not carry heavy weapons, but rushed over in a swarm.

The defenders of the city wall were very nervous. Several rebels failed to control themselves and fired two shots at the officers and soldiers.The rest of the defenders also fired subconsciously, but the officers and soldiers hadn't entered the range yet, so they failed to cause damage to the officers and soldiers.

"Don't shoot! Wait for the order!" Gu Yang shouted hastily.

Only then did the soldiers stop firing, wanting to wait for the officers to come into range.

Zhang Pengjing didn't panic. He stopped on the grass slope with his troops and shouted to the rebels on the city wall: "Quickly open the city and surrender, and tie up the rebels of the Kong family. Do not stay!"

"If you have the ability, attack it!" Gu Yang responded.

Zhang Pengjing laughed and said: "Just wait, I will definitely attack, and by then, you will become a pile of meat."

The defenders on the city wall were terrified when they heard this. They all knew these people. These people were the most brutal and bloodthirsty people under Zhang Pengjing's command. Kong Weili went to attack the camp a few days ago and was defeated by them. .

Listening to the shouts outside, the defender felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if the city gate would be breached in the next second.

"Brothers, we have a high wall. They don't have siege equipment, how can they go up?" Gu Yang encouraged his morale.

Hearing these words, the soldiers cheered up, but their hearts were still terrified.

Li Cunxiao's prestige is too loud, if he says he is not afraid of the Dragon Army, he is really deceiving himself.

The two sides scolded each other, but neither of them could take advantage.

Zhang Pengjing shouted loudly: "Grandpa will come back tomorrow, wash your necks and wait for death!"

After all, he led more than 100 people to leave, and before leaving, he also released a missile, which blew up the defenders at the top of the city crying their fathers and mothers, and many people fell down.

After Zhang Pengjing left, the defenders at the top of the city did not dare to act rashly. They were all afraid of another missile attack, so they lay behind the battlements and did not dare to show their faces.

The rocket launched by Zhang Pengjing just now was really powerful, and it scared the defenders at the top of the city, and the defenders at the top of the city did not dare to rush to send troops to chase Zhang Pengjing's troops.

"General, what should we do now?" the soldiers asked one after another.

"What else can I do, just wait, I will always figure out a way."

There was a moment of silence on the city wall.

Zhang Pengjing felt uncomfortable in the camp, and he just came here to release a missile to listen to it.

The rebels on the city wall were reluctant to waste ammunition and watched them leave.

"Let's do it again tomorrow!" Zhang Pengjing said with a smile.

Li Sheng, a junior under him, said: "Bring more tomorrow, maybe we can blow up a gap."

Hearing his words, Zhang Pengjing shook his head and said: "It takes too long for the missile to be launched. Their guns can't reach us, but their artillery is not vegetarian. Then we will become living targets, and the losses outweigh the gains." .”

Li Sheng nodded in agreement.

Zhang Pengjing glanced at the city wall behind, and continued: "We still follow the original plan and bomb several times a day, so that they can't rest and consume their energy."

"Yes!"

Zhang Pengjing turned and left, leading the troops back to the camp.

The next day, Li Sheng took his people there early in the morning, and another wave of missiles flew over.

The defenders on the wall woke up from their sleep.

"Quick, kill them!" Gu Yang commanded his subordinates.

Several defenders immediately adjusted the angle of the artillery, aiming at the missile position in the distance.

But the missiles did not fly near them, and the house that landed directly behind them exploded, sending a cloud of smoke billowing and blazing into flames.

"Boom."

A missile exploded at the top of the city, and the airflow generated by the explosion instantly overturned the soldiers, and some of them were even rushed to the edge of the city wall by the air wave and fell off the tower.

The defenders on the city wall turned pale with fright again, they dared not stand up any more, they lay dead on the ground, praying that the missiles would not explode around them.

The same situation happened at several other city gates, and the rebels were miserable.

Although the rebels in Nancheng fought back, and the officers and soldiers killed and injured several people, they were met with fierce retaliation.Although there was no problem with the city wall, dozens of rebels defending the city were killed or injured.

"It's fun, it's fun." Zhang Pengjing shouted.

Hearing his shout, Li Cunxiao said: "Don't just have fun, the time agreed between the General and His Highness is coming soon. Think about how to take Pengcheng."

A combat meeting was being held in the tent, and Li Cunxiao couldn't wait any longer.If he couldn't win Pengcheng again, he would hinder Liu Hao's strategic plan.

He really can't afford this responsibility, and it's not impossible to take Pengcheng at any cost.However, the Longxiang Army is bound to suffer a lot of casualties, and there will be no ability to continue fighting in the next battle.

Li Cunxiao held the model representing the cavalry in his hand, and looked at the sand table: "Our Dragon Army is famous for its cavalry. Now that we have no advantage in the battle of fortifications, the general can't bear to rely on human lives alone."

After hearing his words, everyone fell into silence.Facing such a fortified city, everyone was helpless.

"How about we retreat first and lure them out?" Ma Rui, the general, said.

"No, the Kong family has a lot of troops, and if it is self-defeating, we will suffer a lot." Zhang Pengjing shook his head and said.

"Then why don't you ask His Highness to send us some reinforcements?"

"Old Li, you are really going backwards as you live. The Dragon Army asked for help, thanks to what you said." Li Cunxiao slapped Li Cheng: "What hard bone have we not chewed? After two years of stable life, I was afraid of wolves before and fear of wolves later." Tiger, piss."

Everyone was ashamed by what he said, yes, all the hard times are over.Now that there are hundreds of cannons and tens of thousands of horses, it is really shameful to be timid in Pengcheng!
"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Zhang Pengjing said, cupping his hands.

"The final general is willing to go together!"

"It's up to us to fight hard!" Li Cheng said stepping forward.

Seeing everyone regain their confidence, Li Cunxiao said: "The army is ready for war, and Peng Jing and Li Cheng will lead the army to attack the city tomorrow!"
