Feng Li had already abandoned the war horse and replaced the sword with him to fight in close combat. Feng Li and he stood on the horse's back and jumped all the way, heading towards one next target after another, slashing forward, and surrounding him.
, but Cao Jun, who was also trapped in the mud, fought hard.
Cao's sword and shield hands and spearmen were fighting fiercely with the brave warriors rushing over Feng Li and other Yuan's army. Here the entire battlefield was surging with the huge sound of fighting.
At this time, Yuan's army had the advantage, and they showed a one-sided tendency to massacre in terms of courage and force. No matter how strong the shield was, it was like a paper under the sharp spear and the huge impact of the condescending heavy halberd.
The Cao army soldiers who were pierced and held up their shields were either knocked into the air or were directly pierced into the chest by spears and halberds. Then the second and third..., like wearing candied haws, Cao army was on this road
The price paid a heavy price.
On the other side of the muddy road.
Seeing that more than a thousand infantry who had not yet arrived ashore quickly collapsed under the fierce attack of the assault Yuan army, Zhao Yun, who had already attacked the south city, suddenly turned pale. He put down the iron silver spear that had been holding high and said viciously: "Fuck it,
The Yuan army in the city was obviously just a group of defeated soldiers. Where did the deaths come from?"
Wang Dang next to him, regardless of Zhao Yun's doubts, reminded him anxiously: "General, our people are very dangerous now and may be destroyed at any time. Now we have only two choices, or retreat, and wait until the subsequent team of troops arrives, and we will go back tomorrow.
Take an attack, or in turn launch an attack formation to save those brothers, but in this way we will fall into those damn mud..."
Zhao Yun looked at the soldiers struggling on the trench and said without hesitation: "Send orders to each team and immediately turn around and launch an attack formation. We will not attack the city!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Zhao Yun had already given the order, Wang Dangsui stopped saying anything, and immediately turned around and ordered the flag soldiers to pass orders to the infantry teams.
The trench is built between the city and the moat, three meters deep from the ground, and bamboo thorns of varying lengths and pointed wooden stakes are buried under the trench. This trench is set up between the base of the wall and the moat, which can be used as a horse-resisting belt.
Prevent enemy cavalry and chariots from rushing straight to the city, and also hinder the enemy from falling and stabbing the enemy to death. In addition, it can also temporarily suspend the pace of enemy infantry attacks, but this trench around Yecheng truly plays its role
But it was when Zhao Yun led his troops to retreat.
When Zhao Yun attacked the city, he unexpectedly passed the trench without large-scale resistance. The trench nearly ten feet wide was a fatal obstacle to Cao's rapid retreat and rescue.
When they still used the old method to build a ladder on the trench and wanted to pass quickly, the female archery wall, arrow battlements, and a protruding outer wall built every twenty feet on the city wall.
Arrows and javelins in the attic are flying down with no money. This design is used to eliminate blind spots under the city and attack the enemy's attack and retreat.
And now the arrows are from behind them, and they are even more unprepared for defense. "Swoosh swish swish swish" the arrows are raining continuously, screaming behind them, and the strong arrows are shooting like raindrops. Zhao Yun seemed to be able to hear the breaking of the arrows when they passed by their ears.
The sound of the wind whimpering, the dense continuous shooting, the cold-blooded and cruel massacre, the long-term siege of the city and could not defend the surviving Cao army soldiers, at this time there were only more than a thousand people, of which there were as many as two Cao army soldiers who fell under this round of continuous shooting.
Three hundred people were shot to death by arrows, but they accidentally arrowed behind the back. The javelin pressed tightly, and those who fell into the trench also shouted to make a life, most of whom died under the sharp-blade wooden stakes and bamboo tips.
Zhao Yun drove the white horse under him and kept driving the horse to change directions, so that he could move continuously to prevent being shot by the arrows shot from behind by the enemy. At the same time, he worked hard to change directions among thousands of troops and seek rapid rescue in front of him.
The shortcut for the trapped soldiers. The other Cao soldiers who worked hard to cross the trench also tried to approach their trapped companions on the moat. While fighting with the arrows behind them and the enemy troops getting closer and closer in front of them, they tried to get close to their companions and each other
Echo and prevent yourself from being attacked from both sides.
Even so, the heavy armor on their bodies was hard to resist the piercing of arrows. Zhao Yun, as the chief general of this army, was also in his robe. Several parts of the armor were pierced and cut. Fortunately, Wang Dang and others were loyal.
The guards covered and helped each other, and they were safe and sound. Wang Dang, who had been driving Zhao Yun, had changed from a mount to standing on the back of the horse, holding the reins in one hand and holding the long sword in the other, constantly "keng"
"The enemy's weapons that were stabbing open, their eyes wide open, their beards were like thorns, and they screamed, looking at their posture, they were more scary than anyone else.
Yecheng, the highest command center in the southern city behind the arrows.
When Shen Pei saw that the siege Cao army began to retreat and quickly expanded its formation to rescue those companions trapped in the mud, Shen Pei knew that it was time to launch his last attack method in advance.
Shen Pei was covered in white sweat behind her back, thinking that if Cao's army could hold on for a few more minutes and the supporter sent two or three thousand people to strengthen the attack here, all his methods and troops would be revealed immediately.
.
At that time, he could only watch the city and the people were destroyed. At that time, even if the reserve team finally left the city and launched a decisive charge, it would not be at all. If it really came to that point, if
If you don't want the entire army to be wiped out, you will be afraid that you can only order to retreat. Then you will blow up the secret weapons and destroy them with the enemy.
Speaking of this secret weapon that can destroy the city with the enemy, it is in the attics that hang several meters or dozens of meters away from the outer wall.
Yuan Shao has always wanted to have super-large lethal weapons like gunpowder, just like Cao Cao and Cao Zhi. But he has always been struggling to obtain them from Cao or other ways, but Yuan Shao has never given up on independently developing and developing gunpowder. Yuan Shao has always believed that it is based on one
The half-stupid Cao Zhi invented something, but with his talented people gathered more than half of the country, he could not invent it.
So, while Yuan Shao tried to get such a secret weapon formula from Cao through various methods, he spared no effort to gather a group of strange people to develop this high-end weapon for him.
Through multiple investigations, Yuan Shao mastered some of the raw materials of gunpowder and also learned some of the inventions of Cao Zhi. Yuan Shao found from all sides that Cao Zhi and Ni Heng and his subordinates were gunpowders found in the remains of ancient alchemists.
Clues of recipes.
So, Yuan Shaoguang recruited warlocks from all over the world and asked them to try various formulas and study the real formulas of gunpowder.
After countless accidents and countless warlocks died, Yuan Shao finally found the unexpected recipe for gunpowder when the warlock was refining alchemy. That is, he randomly gathered some unexpected medicine stones into a cauldron to refine them, thus causing an "unexpected" explosion
Effect. Yuan Shao just found a prototype of gunpowder. He died when he was far from finding a way to refine black gunpowder.
Yuan's gunpowder weapons are only used to use cauldrons, and various kinds of medicine and stones that will produce the kind of cauldron explosion are used as a weapon, and are temporarily used in the army. They are not easy to move, not easy to carry, and are fundamentally
It is just that it cannot serve and serve the army. It can only be placed at a high point at the protruding point of the city tower and used to die with the enemy at any time.
So now, there are regular soldiers such as archers in each city in Yecheng, and there is a pride in each attic, controlling the addition of the cauldron and the medicine stone. After the order of Shen Pei, he will join
All the medicine stones that could eventually produce that kind of explosion, and soldiers pushed the cauldron down the city, or evacuated the attic, directly blowing up the attic or killing the enemy soldiers who were trying to break the city.
This weapon is not easy to carry, so when he was in Guandu, Yuan Shao was unable to use it in the battle of Guandu. Moreover, this uncontrollable explosive weapon is very likely to destroy his own city walls. Although the prominent lofts were built to avoid harming himself.
, but they have tried that if this kind of cauldron bomb does not explode, it will still shake the city wall like an earthquake when it explodes. As a literati, Shen Pei has always been
It is recommended that he use this weapon with caution, and he doesn't even want to use it if it is unnecessary.
But at this time, in order to expand the results of the battle and intimidate Cao Zhi and a larger-scale attack behind him, Shen Pei decided to use several cauldrons to shock the Cao army from then on.
Fortunately, everything at present is very conducive to Shen Pei's calm launch of this secret weapon instead of hasty use, and unexpected accidents occur in a hurry.
Without knowing the details of Shenfu, Zhao Yun finally couldn't help but launch his retreating formation in advance. Now it's Shenfu's turn to hit the water dog, that would be better.
Yuan Shang next to him couldn't help but squeezing boxing and said inexplicably: "Okay, Cao Jun still couldn't calm down after all!"
"What's good?" Shen Feng wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his clothes without any trace, and said in a deep voice in his heart.
"Even if they are trapped in the mud, they will be more than a thousand elites with the defeated Cao soldiers! Don't expect that there will be any trouble for them. The fierce battle is still behind. They will launch a desperate counterattack at any time. We only
You can sacrifice General Feng and the others... Lord, please give an order! It's time to use those medicine cauldrons, let all of them die in the mud!"
"Okay!" Yuan Shang quickly straightened his chest, then turned around and hurriedly took people there.
Yuan Shang was waiting for this. He found that Cao's army's aura had become weaker. He immediately ordered the sorcerers in the attic to add explosive stones to the medicine cauldron, increase the fire, and then all evacuated the hanging several feet outside the city defense.
A loft ranging from ten feet to a meter. This time Yuan Shang was playing high-altitude blasting. While giving up and blowing up the attics, he let the scattered gravel and medicine cauldron bury all the people below him alive.
