Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Cao Hong shouted hoarsely on the city wall, cheering up the morale of Cao Jun's soldiers fighting on the city wall.

In addition to the veterans on the city wall, there are also many recruits recruited in Wuwei City. These recruits are the most likely to collapse, so they need encouragement the most.

Of course, their parents, wives and children were all in the city, and they had no way out.Ever since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the reputation of this Xiliang soldier was not very good.In the eyes of ordinary people, Xiliang soldiers are basically equated with burning, killing and looting.

Under the city, the Xiliang army rushed upwards under Ma Teng's urging.On the city, under the urging of Cao Hong, Cao Jun also desperately killed the enemy.When the Xiliang army climbed the city wall, they were desperately resisted by the soldiers of the Cao army.

Although Ma Teng's Xiliang army looked menacing, they hadn't climbed the city wall until now.Not being able to climb the city wall means that all sacrifices are in vain.Only after reaching the city wall, can the Xiliang army have any hope of breaking through the city.

However, Cao Hong was not a vegetarian, and he did not give Ma Teng any hope of touching the city wall.Although the number of soldiers under Ma Teng's command was larger, it was obvious that they had never fought such a battle. They handled this siege battle too immaturely.

"Rush for me, rush for me."

"Breaking the city, without setting military discipline for three days, everything in this city belongs to you."

"The first one to climb up the city will be promoted to Commander-in-Chief and will be rewarded with a hundred gold."

A military order sounded in the Xiliang army, as the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. With this heavy reward, the eyes of each Xiliang army can be said to be red, like rabbits.

Because Xiliang is similar to the grassland satisfaction, their work style is more or less contaminated with the habits of some grassland tribes.After breaking the city, there will be no military discipline for three days, which is basically equivalent to treating the entire Wuwei County as the prey of the army.

The soldiers are like tigers who have entered the pasture, but they are also acting recklessly in the city. It is almost predictable what kind of situation the people in the city will encounter.

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. With such a reward, these barbarians in Xiliang can be said to have been beaten like chicken blood, making Cao Jun on the top of the city look even more precarious.

"Have you heard, when the city is broken, there will be no military discipline for three days."

"The Xiliang army is no better than the grassland people. If the city is destroyed, your family members, parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters will suffer."

"No matter what, we must defend Wuwei County. Behind us are family members, parents, wives and children. We cannot retreat, not even one step back."

"The city is in and the people are in it, but the city is lost and the people are dead."

"The city is in and the people are in it, but the city is lost and the people are dead."

Cao Hong brandished the broadsword in his hand and joined the battlefield himself. Standing on the city wall, he kept hacking and killing the Xiliang army who wanted to climb up.

At this time, the city wall was already in a bloody battle, and the hands of some of Cao Jun's archers were even bloody from pulling the bowstring.On the city wall, Cao Jun mechanically stabbed the spear in his hand down, like candied haws, stringing Cao Jun on the ladder into a string.

"Come here, roll stones and roll logs."

Cao Hong shouted to the generals of the Cao army behind him, Cao Hong gave an order, and saw the soldiers of the Cao army move the huge gravel that had been prepared long ago, and ruthlessly smashed it towards the Xiliang army on the ladder.This pile of boulders that fell from the sky slammed on the ladder, and immediately smashed the Xiliang army.

This meal of rolling stones and rolling logs could barely be regarded as repelling the Xiliang army and smashing the Xiliang army into a daze.Cao Hong hurriedly shouted: "Golden juice, golden juice."

On the city wall, there is a cauldron.There is nothing delicious and delicious in these pots, but there is golden juice exuding a strong stench in these pots. What is golden juice is boiled excrement and urine.Under the action of the fire, these feces and urine were bubbling and bubbling, exuding a disgusting stench.

Taking advantage of the time when the Xiliang army was stunned by the stone, the cauldron full of golden juice was lifted.The tumbling golden juice was poured down head-on, and the hot golden juice poured over the whole body. The sourness was simply indescribable in words.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Under the city wall and on the ladder, there are Xiliang troops who were hit by Jinjue everywhere.They had burns all over their heads and bodies, and the burns were covered with slimy feces.Many people couldn't help scratching, the wounds were dripping with blood, like devils crawling out of hell.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, in this morale without antibiotics, such an injury was basically equivalent to death.Bacteria in the feces assist the wound. There is no cure for this level of bacterial infection in this era.

Death is certain, these soldiers howling under the city basically entered the Temple of Yama with one leg, they can be said to have been resolved by death, and there is absolutely no accident at all.

The city wall of Wuwei County fell into a short period of silence. Due to the unfavorable attack, the Xiliang Army temporarily stopped the attack, which also gave Cao Jun on the city wall a temporary chance to breathe.

On the city wall, Cao Hong took a sip of porridge, warmed his body and began to set up defenses.After an attack by the Xiliang army, there was a gap in the defense of the city wall, and now it needs to be repaired urgently.

Chapter 222 Attacking the City Wall

On the city wall, Cao Jun was strengthening the defense, and Ma Teng at the bottom of the city wall was leading people to look at the top of the city wall, wanting to study how to take Wuwei County.

The onslaught just now, although the attack did not last long, many people were killed. In this round of attack just now, about [-] soldiers were killed or injured.

There is a counselor under Ma Teng, surnamed Cheng and surnamed Gongying.At this time, Cheng Gongying spoke.

"His Royal Highness Liang, marching and fighting is what is said to be full of energy, then decline, and then exhaust. We have already stopped the attack once in the middle, and we can't stop the second time." Cheng Gongying came to Ma Teng and said.

When Ma Teng saw Gongying, he hurriedly asked, "Gongying, what plan do you have to break the city?"

After thinking for a while, Cheng Gongying twirled his goatee. People on the grassland like to wear a goatee, which may be the reason why there are so many sheep on the grassland.

"His Royal Highness Liang, if we want to destroy Wuwei County, we need to use two prongs. If we are in the front, we must do it in the back. If we do it together, the Cao army on the city wall will definitely not be able to survive." Cheng Gongying paused for a while. He said to Ma Teng in one breath: "This front requires a brave death squad. This death squad can only advance but not retreat. I have to fight the mountain of swords and seas of fire in front of me."

"I have a barbarian camp in my hand. As long as you give money to this barbarian camp, even if you let them cut off your head on the spot, they won't blink and let them go." Ma Teng said.

After finishing speaking, Ma Teng summoned the leader of the barbarian battalion and asked, "Thirty gold per person, is it appropriate to be a death squad?"

"Respected His Majesty King Liang, you have also seen the attack on the city just now. Cao Jun on the city wall resisted very tenaciously. Although we are not afraid of death, we do not want to sacrifice in vain," the leader of the Hu camp said in broken Chinese.

Hearing this, Ma Teng frowned involuntarily, and asked with some displeasure: "What's the matter? Are you unwilling?"

"No, no, no."

"I mean, you have to pay more," said the leader of the Hu camp.

"Forty gold, up to forty gold."

"After breaking through the city wall, whatever you can grab is yours." Ma Teng said to the leader of the barbarian battalion.

"Okay, deal."

"My [-] brothers and I will definitely win Wuwei County for King Liang," said the leader of the Hu camp.

The wolf culture is worshiped on the prairie, and the prairie people are like wolves living in packs.From time to time, there will be wolves that don't fit in the pack, old wolves, or eliminated alpha wolves. These wolves will leave the pack and live alone, which is not tolerated by the wolf clan.

The Hu people in Ma Teng's Hu camp were the people who were driven out by the grassland tribes.They were expelled by their own tribe for some reason, and they could go without any precautions, so they could only come to Ma Teng's barbarian camp to make a living.

These people are people who have lived through the last meal and never left the next meal. As long as they can afford to pay, they will work hard for Ma Teng.Ma Teng would naturally entrust them with such a job as a death squad.

"His Royal Highness Liang, as the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. In addition to this death squad, we also need a brave and invincible general." Cheng Gongying said to Ma Teng.

"A brave and invincible general, it's a pity that my son Ma Chao is in the city, otherwise he must be the one." Ma Teng said regretfully.

"Uncle, my elder brother is not here. I, Ma Dai, was the vanguard." Ma Dai cupped his hands and asked for a fight.

"Gongying, how is my nephew Ma Dai?" Ma Teng asked Cheng Gongying, a military adviser beside him.

Cheng Gongying looked at Ma Dai for a while, and then said: "General Ma Dai is not bad, but if General Ma Dai is the vanguard, it is still a bit difficult."

"His Royal Highness Liang, Pang De is willing to be the vanguard." At this moment, a general riding a white horse and holding a big sword cupped his hands to fight.

This man's surname is Pang and his name is Ling Ming. When it comes to martial arts, Ma Chao is the only one in Ma Teng's army who can outperform Pang De.But when it comes to the art of war and strategy, Pound is still above Ma Chao.

Pound is Ma Teng's old subordinate. When Ma Teng fought with the alien races in the grassland, Pound was often in the vanguard.Now that Ma Chao is gone, Ma Teng must be the pioneer.

"Gongying, how about you?" Ma Teng asked Cheng Gongying who was beside him.

"The vanguard is naturally Pang Lingming. Pang Lingming is attacking outside. When the battle is fierce, we three drums will be played, and Mr. Ma Chao will lead the people to attack the city wall from inside the city. In this way, the Cao army will be defeated, and Wu Wei will be defeated." , must go." At this time, Cheng Gongying looked as if he had a winning ticket.

"kill!"

"Taking me as the vanguard, I would rather die than retreat in this battle." Holding a broadsword, Pang De took the lead and rushed towards the city wall. Behind him were [-] dead soldiers from the Hu camp.

These [-] soldiers from the barbarian battalion were all outcasts expelled by their own tribe, and they had no concept of life and death in their minds.In their view, living a day is a day, and dying early is nothing but leaving life early.

The battalion of eight hundred barbarians followed closely behind Pound, their eyes were bloodshot, like evil spirits crawling out of hell.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Eight hundred grassland barbarians made this unknown strange cry, like the roar of evil spirits in hell, or like the howling of tigers in the mountains.

The prairie aliens are physically stronger than the Han people, and these prairie aliens who were driven out by their own tribes are even stronger.Those who are not strong are afraid that they will die on the grassland early after being expelled by the tribe.

These prairie aliens stood in front of them with a large shield in one hand, a knife in their mouth, and climbed towards the city wall with one hand.It has to be said that the soldiers of these barbarian battalions are indeed livestock.Some barbarians were shot by an arrow while climbing, but the arrow missed the point. He actually just swayed a few times on the ladder, and then continued to climb up.

At this time, Pound had already climbed to the top. He didn't hold a shield, and swung the big knife in his hand with one arm, blocking the flying arrows.

Seeing that he was about to climb up the city wall, Pang De swung his arm, and the big knife in his hand flew out, smashing Cao Jun on the city wall in front of him.

With one arm supported by Pound, the whole person crossed the city wall.

"what!"

With a roar, Pang De threw a Cao Jun flying with both fists, then picked up the big knife on the ground, and swung it towards the enemy on the city wall.

"On the wall, on the wall."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the barbarian battalion on the ladder became excited one by one, and hurriedly climbed towards the top of the city.

With Pang De attracting firepower, the soldiers of the Eight Hundred Huren Battalion also climbed up in a short time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As soon as the soldiers of the Hu camp rushed up the city wall, they immediately fought with Cao Jun. Although the Hu soldiers were more capable of fighting alone, there were far more Cao Jun on the city wall than them.

Of course, Ma Teng would not miss this opportunity to see Pang De leading the barbarian death squad to the city wall.On the one hand, he ordered Ma Dai to lead the army to kill them, and on the other hand, he hurriedly beat the drums.

Chapter 223 Cao Hong Abandoned the City

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the camp of the Xiliang Army, three drums sounded.At the same time, Ma Chao, who was hiding in the granary, also heard the drumming.

As soon as the drum sounded, Ma Chao and others who were hiding in the granary were startled. They had been waiting in the granary for a long time, and now it was finally time for them to fight.

Ma Chao licked his chapped lips, and told the soldiers around him: "After killing them out, we must set fire to the grain depot as soon as possible, and then everyone will follow me to the city gate and seize the city gate.

"Yes." All the generals beside Ma Chao answered in unison.

"Bros?"

"Follow me." Ma Chao held a tiger-headed Zhan golden gun and led his soldiers hiding in the granary to kill.

At this time, Cao Jun didn't have many soldiers staying in the granary, and most of them were recruits. The sudden rush of so many people from the granary really shocked them into a cold sweat.

After a short time, Cao Jun who stayed behind in the granary was surrounded by Ma Chao and his men.The Xiliang Army under Ma Chao's command started to set fire to the food while strangling Cao's soldiers.

Most of Cao's troops left behind were recruits. Meeting Xiliang's elite was like a mouse meeting a cat, and there was no way to fight back.

"kill!"

Ma Chao brandished the long spear in his hand, and charged at the panicked Cao Jun. Ma Chao was known as the Xiliang Tiger. Now that he has entered Cao Jun, it would be like a tiger joining a pack of wolves. In a blink of an eye, all around him fell down. A group of Cao Jun generals.

The recruits are fighting with the wind, and it’s okay to beat the side drums, but what they fear most is encountering such an unexpected situation. At this time, Ma Chao led his men to come out suddenly, and the soldiers of the Cao army were immediately frightened, and they were panicked and at a loss. , cannot form effective resistance at all.

"Run!"

"Let's run!"

"Run, run." The collapse of morale is like a flood from the gate, and the collapse is only an instant.When the first Cao soldier started to run away, the situation was unstoppable.

Cao Jun's soldiers scattered and fled in all directions, each running faster than the other, only hating their parents for not giving them more legs.Cao Jun fled, but Ma Chao did not pursue him.Now he doesn't have time to mess with this group of cowardly soldiers. After he hastily lit the granary, he has to rush to seize the city gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom."

In order to prevent germination, the grain in this grain and grass is dried out in the sun.This big fire hits the granary, and in an instant it is the "boom, boom" burner fire.The fire vacated five or six feet high, and dyed the entire Wuwei County red.

"My son succeeded, this Wuwei County will definitely go down."

"Hahaha!"

"My son Ma Chao has the appearance of a peerless God of War."

"Beat the drum and order the soldiers to attack all fronts, regardless of casualties." Ma Teng, who was under Wuwei City, laughed loudly.

On the city wall of Wuwei, Cao Hong watched the granary in the city ignite with raging flames.

"report"

"Report to General Cao, a Xiliang soldier and horse was killed in the granary. Now they have burned all the food and grass, and killed them towards the city gate." A soldier covered in blood rushed to the city wall and knelt on one knee said.

At this time, even if the soldier didn't say anything, Cao Hong knew that something was wrong.A raging flame ignited at the granary, there is no doubt that the granary missed.And once the granary misses, it means that Wuwei County can't keep it.

Not to mention the blow to the morale of the soldiers from the burning of food and grass, nor how to deal with the Xiliang army who somehow entered the city.It is said that without food and grass, this battle cannot be fought.

Now even if Cao Hong defends Wuwei County tonight, there will be a question mark about what the soldiers will eat starting tomorrow.And even if the reinforcements came, if the reinforcements rushed to support them with light clothes, then neither of them would have food, and the reinforcements would be hungry with them.

But if the reinforcements are ready to provide food, grass and other materials to support, I am afraid that the day lily will be completely cold by the time their support arrives.

Cao Hong's face was so dark at this time, it was as dark as coal, but he couldn't do anything about it.Now it seems that it is a foregone conclusion that Wuwei County cannot be defended.

Cao Hong looked troubled, he hesitated between abandoning the city and sticking to it.Cao Hong also knew in his heart that from the moment the grain and grass were burned, Wuwei County was doomed to fail.Abandoning the city to save the soldiers in his hands is the best choice, but if he abandons the city and flees at this time, then he, Cao Hong, will inevitably be named a fleeing general.

Cao Hong thought about it three times, and the battle situation on the top of the city had already fallen into a state of anxiety.Judging from the situation of the city wall, with the Xiliang Army launching an all-out attack, it is only a matter of time before the city wall falls.
