Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters reveal whereabouts
Each of these sergeants is full of energy, and each of them has a touch of killing intent. These people are regular soldiers, real soldiers who have been practicing in battles for several years, and finally gathered together to form a powerful army. No matter how strong one person is,
In fact, it is not terrible. What is terrible is that the tens of thousands of troops are so organized.
It was originally announced that there were 60,000 troops participating in the siege of Shouchun, but now after Cao Zhi repeatedly recruited Yuan Shu's rebel troops, there were actually 100,000 troops, which was completely revealed at this moment.
The military tents and barracks outside Shouchun City still look quite heavily guarded, but in fact they are already empty. After several days of secret adjustments, the real soldiers and horses have already hidden in the valleys and woods.
The land of hills.
In a small tree outside the two cities near the southwest of Shouchun, strong figures were holding shields or sitting astride horses, waiting for the signal from Shouchun City, and then rushed out together. On the city wall
Those Shouchun defenders never thought that there would be people hiding in that forest. After all, the forest was not big, and there were three thousand people hiding there.
At this time, their comrades on the wall diagonally opposite them were running extremely fast, climbing up an inconspicuous section of the city wall with just one pedal. Seeing the speed of these soldiers,
It can be seen that each of them is a master of wall climbing. In a few moments, more than a dozen of them disappeared above the city defense.
This is already the third wave of the 200 commandos. The first three batches went smoothly. Although there were defenders on both sides of the city wall, but once this section of the city wall was artificially constructed with blind spots on the left and right, their actions
It was after midnight, when the night watch sergeants were most fatigued, and their actions were covertly concentrated in the gaps between the concave and convex city walls, so they successfully boarded the 150 assault soldiers and the defenders on both sides of the city.
No one noticed anything unusual.
But just as the fourth batch, which was also the last batch of soldiers of this commando, came out of the city defense tower near the West City, a general Yuan Jun who was holding back his urine walked out sleepily.
This man was the commander on duty tonight for this section of the city. After midnight, perhaps because he couldn't stand the tiredness and the cold wind outside, he slipped into the tower where the general usually commanded operations, and the cat fell asleep on a table.
As soon as I fell asleep, I didn't know whether it was because I drank too much water during the day or if I had an attack of prostatitis. Just after midnight, I was finally woken up by soaking in urine at the end of the day.
The general stood up reluctantly. As soon as he came out of the pavilion, he was shocked by a gust of cold wind. He covered his clothes and ran all the way to an arrow stack closest to the south wall. He took out his weapon and pointed it at an empty arrow.
Got water.
"that?"
"Me! Ermao, you are blind, and I am letting go!"
The general leading the team was sleeping, and the people below were not so diligent. They were standing guard honestly. They were all hiding in the leeward bunker, dozing under the arrow stack. But the general who was holding his urine ran out like a gust of wind, and that
The sound of the water being discharged was extremely loud, which naturally woke up the soldiers who were nearby. Although he still recognized that he looked like his own commander, he still screamed sleepily.
The soldier who was scolded muttered and turned around and fell asleep again. The general took a very long time to urinate. He had a bad temper and was cursing while urinating.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "Da!", which made the Yuan Jun general who was about to finish urinating stunned. It was the sound of metal and wall bricks. There were soldiers wearing armor and swords on the city defense. This sound was also
It's normal, but something is wrong when it comes from outside the city.
When the general put the guy back, he propped up the arrow stack on his toes and looked out. There was only the protruding wall connecting Nancheng and Xicheng in front of him, and there was nothing else. With a grunt, he put down his body and prepared to continue his return.
Cat sleeps in the tower.
At this moment, a gust of autumn wind blew by, and two more clear "ding-dong" sounds came from the knocking of metal and wall bricks. This aroused the alertness of the general. He turned around, climbed up the arrow stack, and stared
Looking under the adjacent wall of Nancheng, I immediately saw a string of gourd-like figures with pale faces.
"Enemy attack, enemy sneak attack, ah..." The high-pitched and pitiful screams of the general immediately sounded on the wall near the west city, and the man was hit by something and fell from the arrow stack, falling outside the city.
The sleeping soldiers on the west city wall were all woken up by the screams. They ran to the arrow stack where the general had fallen and took a look, and suddenly saw more enemy figures moving under the south city wall.
"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows quickly! The enemy is attacking, the enemy is sneak attacking..."
The panicked Yuan Jun soldiers on the city wall immediately roared and sounded the alarm gong. In the next second, countless torches and beacon towers were lit, and soon the alarm sound was heard throughout the city.
However, with the arrows flying, the last group of commando members outside the south city also gave up hiding their figures, and instead swarmed up the ropes and quickly climbed up the city.
"Come on, come on quickly, I must send what you have on you, phew!"
When Hu Che'er, who was the last to hold the line under the city, shouted wildly at the last dozen people, the sergeant beside him quickly fired a loud arrow into the sky.
As soon as the generals of Cao's army lurking outside the four cities in the southeast and northwest saw the sound of the arrow signal, they immediately gave the order, "Start!" He did not doubt the battle planned by Cao Zhi at all. What they had to do was to fully cooperate with the feint attack on each city to ease the situation.
The pressure of the soldiers entering the city.
Following the orders from the generals of Cao's army outside the four cities, several loud arrows immediately shot into the sky.
Suddenly tens of thousands of shouts of death rose violently under the originally silent night sky. Stone bullets fired from the car at high speed hit the Shouchun city defense all over the sky. Tens of thousands of people shouted, the sound of horse hooves, and the grunt of chariots.
, the sound of footsteps and the clash of swords sounded everywhere...
Without any preparation, General Yuan's army in the four cities saw the ant-like figures of tens of thousands of troops in the sight of the city as soon as they opened their hazy sleepy eyes.
A round of forced attacks started before the scheduled time. Hu Cheer had no choice. Who made the enemy general urinate for such a long time and for such an inch? At this moment, two strong winds came and forced him to urinate.
The assault soldiers who were suspended in mid-air and stopped all actions were blown away. The two knocking sounds on metal and the wall came from this. The final result was that the last group of them were exposed.
Although Hu Che'er found their Yuan Jun general who had shot to death with one arrow, anger was still written all over Hu Che'er's face.
"Ah, ah..."
While several assault soldiers were shot down by Yuan Jun who rushed over, the remaining few people still struggled to climb up risking their lives. Because their mission had not yet been completed, they wanted to send the explosives they carried into the city.
Their master needs to use enough explosives to blow open the weakest section of the wall in the southern city, and then let the army charge in from there.
In these situations where there were no shields or other equipment to block arrows, more than a dozen Cao Jun soldiers were soon killed. However, the Yuan Jun generals who came from the city still clearly heard the Cao Jun generals shouting from the city.
"You must climb up!" and other orders. These generals in Yuan's army also suddenly turned their attention to the section of Nancheng's defense from the shouts of General Cao's army below the city.
Why haven't any of their soldiers come out to resist?
"Quick, follow me, that side has been captured by the enemy!"
"Send a signal to the people on the south side of the city to also mobilize troops. We can't let the enemy occupy that city defense. We will attack them from both ends..."
General Yuan Jun of Xicheng woke up quickly and began to mobilize his troops. There were enough Xicheng defenders left to use bows and arrows to block Cao Jun from the bottom up. They attacked Cao Jun from both sides with Nancheng defenders, clearing Cao Jun who had already entered the city.
They still don't know why this section of the city defense was breached by Cao Jun without any sound, but based on their experience, they can infer that with more than a dozen ropes, only one or two hundred people can climb up the city within this period of time.
, as long as the Cao army behind them is not allowed to attack again, and they mobilize 500 men from each side to surround them, they will definitely be able to retake this section of the city defense.
#######Before the rumbling war drums and shouts sounded, Cao Zhi was explaining to Yang Hong who rushed to the city wall he designated why Yuan Shu did not reinforce this section of the city wall.
"There is a large cave under this section of the city wall, which stretches for tens of meters to the west!" Cao Zhi said excitedly to Yang Hong, who was watching the soldiers digging and planting explosives.
"How come there are caves?" Yang Hong also knows some common sense about landforms. He once saw from the county annals of Shouchun that when the local officials first chose to build a city in Shouchun, it was because the current site of Shouchun City was
It is said that it is located on a relatively hard river bed. When Cao Zhi said that there are caves under this section of the city wall, I can't help but feel suspicious. Even if there are caves under the ground of Shouchun City, the previous Jiujiang prefects would not be stupid enough to build a section of the city wall.
It's on top, but I don't know how far it can be moved. This section of the city wall is an old city wall after all, and he has served as the prefect of Jiujiang there for several times.
But his doubts were met by Cao Zhi's more favorable and affirmative statement, "Because I dug that cave!"
Yang Hong almost didn't fall down. He thought of the story about Cao Zhi sneaking into the city to seduce a girl during the battle with Yuan Shu's subordinate Chen Yu a few years ago. In addition, now that Cao Zhi himself admitted to digging tunnels, they gained mutual understanding.
I got a proof of why there are caves under this section of the city.
"I used to have a subordinate named Li Hei. He was a Jiangxia barbarian and was very good at digging holes. The last time I came to Shouchun, he dug a tunnel for me. But I didn't expect that he dug it a little too far..."
When Cao Zhi took the trouble to introduce his glorious history of seducing women, the first sounding arrow outside the city rose into the air.
Cao Zhi immediately stopped talking, and stared at the outside of the city with a tense expression. Then there were fires and other messenger arrows. Coupled with the shouts of killing on the south city in the distance, Cao Zhi immediately understood what happened.
At this time, Lu Qian and his men arrived to transport the third batch of explosives. When Lu Qian put down his things, he heard the roar of the first batch of stones.
