Chapter 407 The Last Charge
Boom boom boom boom, thick smoke, loud noise, small watermelon-like shells smashed the city wall. The army did not dare to look up at the sky, and the arrow boards above their heads were hiding behind the female wall.
However, most of the shells were not accurate and landed in the city, making a loud noise.
A small amount fell on the city wall, booming, thick smoke accompanied by fire, and the soldiers behind the shield went straight to the sky.
The blue bricks on the surface of the city wall were blown away, revealing the rammed earth inside.
Cao Ren looked ugly. Why is this Lu Bu so fierce? He can easily create such a powerful weapon.
However, after experiencing the last failure, there is a Tibetan soldiers cave under the city. If you shell the shell, we will enter the Tibetan soldiers cave.
Only a small number of soldiers were left, and a large group of people hid in the cave under the city.
But Lu Bu has also learned a lot. If you hide in the hole, I will send infantry to carry ladders and rush forward.
The thunder was loud and the rain was light, and he rushed forward with a shout.
The soldiers in charge of observation in the city saw that it was nothing, so they quickly called for someone.
The soldiers ran towards the city wall.
Suddenly I heard the whistling shells coming again, boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.
The city gate tower was instantly engulfed by a fire, and hundreds of soldiers who had just entered the city were killed by artillery shells, making a mess, especially among which most of the new recruits were trampled on each other.
The officers shouted loudly and whipped their whips, asking them to hide behind the female wall with their shields and not move.
Look at Xuzhou army carrying the ladder, going down again.
The flags changed on the Zhentian Camp's position, and the infantry moved, and fifty generals with one-two-digit caliber were launched to run, fighting solid iron balls. After the little iron balls landed, they kept rolling forward. The soldiers on the city were still confused and didn't know what they were doing.
Cao Ren was shocked: "It's broken. They really want to attack the city. Get ready for the golden soup immediately."
Of course, the iron ball rolling on the ground is not to waste shells, but to see if there are any pits on the ground.
The soldiers set up iron pots to make golden soup.
It can spread the smell of human beings on the city walls.
When Lu Bu saw the fire on the city from afar, he knew that Cao Ren had made golden soup.
"Send the order, take a break for a while, let's have lunch."
Except for those who are ready for war, everyone else has started to prepare for dinner.
Even Xu Shu couldn't figure it out: "Lord, you've already explored the road, why don't you fight?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "What are you fighting? It's just to stink them and make them unable to eat well."
Seeing that he was deceived again, Cao Ren cursed: "Lu Bu is too tyrant, the golden soup is ready, and you have withdrawn your troops again."
Boom boom boom, responding to him was dozens of shells. The iron ball fell on the city wall, smashing a few golden iron pots, making the city wall slip.
Lu Bu returned to the camp and cooked and ate.
Cao Ren's army was in trouble on the city wall, and the smell could make people spit out.
Because the Xuzhou army came too suddenly, there was no pit in the open space outside the East City Gate.
Cao Ren planned to take the opportunity to send troops out to dig a pit, but as soon as the city gate was opened, the Xuzhou army's probing horse sounded the horn, and the infantry came with a push-up cart. There were two crossbows on it, and big arrows like mop rods shot over. The group had to go back to the city and had no way to dig.
If you dig a hole, you will threaten death, and the soldiers will not be able to persevere.
Just after lunch, the general cannons pulled by the mule appeared again, one by one, one by one, aiming at the city wall.
Open fire.
When Cao Ren saw the cannons smoke, he felt his blood pressure rise. How could there be such a terrible weapon in this world that can hit such a huge iron egg so far?
"General, go quickly."
Two personal soldiers pulled Cao Ren back immediately. The next second, the place where they stood was hit by iron eggs, the blue bricks cracked and the rocks splashed.
Cao Ren was so scared that he was shocked. If he hit him, his bones would probably be covered.
Just as Cao Ren was distracted, another shell came.
The personal soldiers raised Cao Ren and ran down the city wall. The main general was the courage of the entire army. When the main general ran away, why did the soldiers stay? Suddenly, the city wall was in chaos and the soldiers fled everywhere.
But soon the artillery stopped again, and the soldiers returned to their posts and looked at each other. They were not embarrassed and ran away.
Cheng Yu thought to himself: "No, our city wall was in chaos just now, that's a good opportunity. Xuzhou army is fully capable of climbing the city, why don't they come?"
Cao Ren didn't care: "Lu Bu just couldn't see the fighter's plane, so don't worry."
"Otherwise, the lord Zeng Yan, Lu Bu alone won 100,000 soldiers, not only did he say that this person was powerful in martial arts, but he was extremely sensitive to fighter jets and could not miss it. There was only one explanation, that is, he was going to surround the points and attack the aid."
"What should I do? The cavalry who asked for help has been sent out. Send someone to recover it immediately?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "This plan has no solution. If there are no reinforcements, Xingyang will only be able to break the city. If reinforcements come, the reinforcements may be captured by Lu Bu's treacherous plan."
Cao Ren was anxious: "We have no matter what life and death, so we must not let Xu have any trouble. Send troops to chase him immediately and don't let the lord send reinforcements."
Cheng Yu opened his mouth and said nothing.
In fact, when Cheng Yu saw hundreds of general cannons, he already understood the result. This is a cat teasing a mouse.
The command soldiers carrying the flag rushed over and knelt on one knee: "Report, General. All the soldiers who left the city were shot and killed by Xuzhou Army Rangers."
Cao Ren's heart was so cold that it was impossible not to come without reinforcements.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren have a good relationship, so he must send reinforcements.
Cao Ren slapped his head: "I remembered it and put on the carrier pigeon."
There are also capable people in the army, and they raise pigeons. Feixudu arrives in just half a day.
Cao Ren wrote a small note, tied it to the legs of the pigeon and released it.
As a result, I came back in a while.
It turned out that the cannon outside was too loud, and the pigeon's little heart could not stand the fright.
"Send the cavalry to prepare for a raid."
"General, no." Cheng Yu stopped Cao Ren.
"The artillery of the Xuzhou Army is so powerful. I tried my best to knock their artillery. The military advisor led people to trap the city, and there was still a glimmer of hope."
Cao Ren is now fighting to the death and gathers 5,000 cavalry out of the city.
The artillery positions were found abnormally long ago, and they loaded shotguns, especially the 150-caliber general artillery, which loaded several kilograms of iron mung beans at once.
The 10,000 Xuzhou cavalry behind him also slowly pressed up, but Lu Bu did not intend to take action. Chen Lan's 10,000 infantry had been practicing for several years, with a large shield, long spear, bow and arrow, and barbed wire. No matter how unbearable it was, it could withstand for a while.
As the cavalry advanced, the earth began to tremble, and the five thousand cavalry were extraordinary, with smoke and dust everywhere and flags covering the sun. General Cao Ren led the elite Cao army, and the momentum of the charge of the decisive death broke out.
Liao Hua's face was as deep as water. He was observing the distance of the cavalry. The group of cavalry charged very quickly.
Eight hundred meters, six hundred meters, and in a blink of an eye it is five hundred meters.
"ignition."
The torch stretched forward and lit the hissing lead, boom, boom.
Thick smoke and loud noises quickly flooded the position.
