After a while, the entire bucket of smelly dung water was thrown out of the arrow stack, and the smoke and water collided, immediately scattering a lot of the choking lime smoke. But the smell on the city wall was more complicated.
The harsh smell of lime and the smell of feces made many soldiers who had not eaten a very fragrant dinner vomit. As a result, there was a sour stomach acid smell on the city wall, which made people evil.
The East City wall is as lively as it is up and down. The choking smell of lime dust, the smell of feces, and the disgusting smell of vomit are really a mixed bag of five flavors that make people laugh or cry.
Yuan Yue's 2,000 soldiers below the city were still in a group of 100 people, forming a circle and shooting lime arrows at the city wall. There was so much excrement on the city wall, and the smell was really unbearable.
They also took a short break following the sound of the drums, but that was when the city wall was surrounded by lime smoke. As soon as it dispersed, they fired several rounds of lime arrows to seal off the sight and stomach of the people on the wall again. Yuan
Yue's troops prepared a lot of these lime arrows, just because the defenders on the city couldn't see anything below the city tonight.
Cao Zhi, who was watching this wonderland from the hill below the city, put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, Yuan Yue is so good for coming up with such a trick. Haha, Chen Yu must have been frightened. Secretary, here you go."
Yuan Yue recorded his work and gave... Oh, what does it smell like? It stinks like hell! quot;
Cao Zhi, who was just looking happy with his mouth open, was in a downdraft. At this time, the smell of excrement splashed on the east city drifted to him and gave him a big gulp.
Just when Cao Zhi was feeling sour and nauseated, war drums and charging horns also sounded from the direction of Xicheng. Cao Zhi couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Li Dian is also here to join in the fun!"
Ximen, Li Dian didn't have as many tricks as Yuan Yue, and besides, the tunnel hadn't reached him yet, so he took advantage of this feint attack and had his soldiers engage in a simulated siege.
The two thousand siege troops were reasonably divided into the front team, the squadron, and the rear team. The front team was mostly composed of cavalry and archers, and the squadron was composed of infantry armed with swords, shields, spears, halberds, ropes, and city climbing ladders.
The rear team also consisted of a part of the cavalry and a team of door-bangers.
Li Dian believed that this was a rare opportunity to train troops. He was from the Forbidden Army and had a very solid foundation in formal tactical literacy. He had been stationed in Chaohu by Cao Zhi some time ago to help Li Hu train troops. After a period of training, his men had
It has a good look, but it lacks opportunities for practical training.
Today is a great opportunity. As Li Dian waved his sword and issued the battle order, the first group of cavalry charged toward the west city with screams and shouts. The infantry archers and shield bearers behind them also hurriedly followed up with ladders and other objects for climbing the city. They were approaching.
At the city wall, the cavalry turned their horses and wandered around the wall, shooting arrows. The infantry behind them also sprinted after being harassed by the cavalry. Under the cover of the shield bearers, the archers fired their bows frequently, and arrows were flying all over the west city.
Flying and breaking through the air with constant sound.
Similarly, the defenders of the West City also began to fight back. Within a few hundred meters of the West City, people were shouting, shouting to kill, torches flashing, arrows raining down, and it was very lively. Most of the enemy troops attacking the city were on the verge of touching the city.
Let's go, no matter which soldier you are, all come forward and fight with real swords and guns for a while, and then replace them with the next group of people. They will never be reluctant to fight.
Li Dian even ordered the door knocking team to raft a huge log from the woods far away, put it on two wheels, and let the soldiers push it. They rushed to the west gate several times with shouts of death. The frightened general guarding the west gate immediately attacked Chen Yu
Urgent.
Chen Yu was inhaling the endless lime dust at the east gate and heard the war drums and horns sounding in the west city. He was a little anxious at first, wondering how the battle in the west city was going. But then he thought about it and realized that the enemy didn't really want to capture Shouchun.
He didn't know what kind of tricks they were trying to do in the west city, so he simply stayed the same in the east city and stayed in the east city instead of going there.
After a while, someone hurriedly came to Xicheng and said, "Report to the governor that Xicheng is under enemy attack. The enemy troops are coming fiercely. Please ask the governor to send more troops to Xicheng!"
Chen Yu's sweat towel was soaked in water around his head, and only his eyes were still dripping with tears. After hearing Xicheng's emergency, he just glanced at the general who came to report the news. Chen Yu behaved extremely calmly at this time.
He was neither impatient nor impatient, nor did he rush to mobilize his troops for reinforcements. Instead, he squinted his eyes and pondered.
quot;Kill...ah...dong, dong...quot;
Chen Yu listened to the sound of the siege in the west city for a while, and murmured: "What is Cao Zhi doing by spreading his troops out like this and not letting me see the troop deployment at the east gate?"
Chen Yu's presence as if he was an old god made the officers waiting for orders anxious. The sergeant who came to ask for reinforcements did not see Chen Yu sending troops after waiting for a while, so he had to take a few steps closer and reminded him again: "The governor"
, it’s too late, I’m afraid the brothers in Xicheng won’t be able to stop me, so I’d better hurry up...”
Chen Yu waved his hand to stop the sergeant's advice, and looked up at the enemy's movements under the East City. In fact, he couldn't see anything clearly, but when people think about this problem, they always like to look at, at least imaginaryly, where the problem occurred.
.
Chen Yu thought for a while and turned around and asked the sergeant: "How many enemy troops are there attacking the west gate?"
The sergeant replied: "There are about 2,000 enemy troops besieging the west gate, but the offensive is fierce and all arms are well-equipped. When I came, the tree stumps that hit the door were all used up. It doesn't look like a joke."
"Hey!" Chen Yu sneered twice, as if replying to the sergeant, or mumbling to himself, he said slowly: "Although my Ximen only has a thousand soldiers, he uses two thousand."
"Can the soldiers and horses break through the west gate?" Suddenly he tilted his head slightly and asked a group of generals behind him who had their mouths and noses wrapped in wet cloth: "What do you think you should do if you want to attack Shouchun City?"
The generals and officials behind Chen Yu looked at each other, and no one blindly stood up to express their opinions. Most of Chen Yu's cronies were experienced officialdom veterans. They all understood the way of being an official, and when it came to inaccuracies,
It’s better not to blindly come forward. But these
After all, people are generals, and they are naturally impulsive. Behind Chen Yu, who had been quiet for a while, a bearded military general suddenly jumped out and said loudly: "If I want to attack Shouchun, I will definitely concentrate my superior forces to attack the most defensive areas."
The weak one!quot;
"Yes!" Chen Yu said, stroking his hand: "That's great, but among the four Shouchun gates, which one is the weakest?"
When Chen Yu asked the question, he also thought of the answer. He said almost at the same time as the bearded general: "North Gate!"
At this moment, drums were beating loudly in the north and south directions, which were still calm. Dots of firelight quickly appeared at the north and south gates like fireflies, and soon the shouts of "killing" shook the sky.
Chen Yuzheng sent people to the north and south gates to check the situation, and then said to the urgent sergeant in the west city: "Go back and tell Sima to hold him back. The enemy troops attacking the west city are still attacking, and they will automatically attack in less than half an hour."
