"Ah——! I'm going to kill you all! I'm going to kill you all!" Seeing Wang Shuang fleeing into the city, the city gate was tightly closed, Xiahou Dun was so angry that he shot the arrows at him.
The arrows were swept away together, staring at the city with a pair of red eyes, and roaring like a wild beast. It's no wonder that if he met famous masters like Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, Xiahou Dun would lose, but today Xiahou Dun
But he fell into the trap of these nameless juniors. How could he hold on to his old face?
However, Xiahou Dun was not the kind of reckless man who acted blindly. Seeing that it was impossible to kill Wang Shuang on his own, Xiahou Dun immediately withdrew from the attack range of the opponent's archers and glanced coldly at the people on the top of the city.
The defenders shouted to the army that was coming behind them: "Attack the whole army! Take this city in one go!"
When they saw Xiahou Dun rushing over alone before, Xiahou Dun's subordinates were naturally frightened and hurriedly chased after him with their soldiers and horses. Now after hearing Xiahou Dun's order, the lieutenants and officers no longer stopped
Without hesitation, he immediately led Cao Wei's soldiers to attack the city wall! This time Xiahou Dun was already prepared to attack Shangjun, so siege equipment such as ladders were naturally ready.
Now of course I took it out directly and rushed towards the city wall.
On the top of the city, Guo Huai was not polite and commanded the defenders to launch a counterattack against the enemy. Arrows poured down like a downpour. This time it was not like the previous defeat against Xiahou Dun, which failed in vain. In the blink of an eye, it was a plundering attack.
The lives of hundreds of Wei army officers were taken away! However, these hundreds of people were nothing compared to the army of more than 20,000 people. The death of their companions actually aroused the morale of the Wei army officers and made them even crazier.
Charge towards the city wall!
Compared to tens of thousands of enemies, the strength of more than a thousand archers is really limited. Except for the first round of attacks that are very effective, the attacks in the following few rounds will be much worse, especially when the Wei army soldiers raised their weapons.
After the shield defense, it was considered extraordinary to be able to kill dozens of people with each shot. On the top of the city, Guo Huai, who had always been very calm, became a little anxious. He turned around and shouted to the back: "Wu
Isn’t the scholar here yet? Wu Shi! Wu Shi!”
Hearing Guo Huai's shout, Deng Ai, who was shooting arrows beside Guo Huai, couldn't help but be startled. Only then did he realize that Wu Shi, who had been competing with him, was no longer on the top of the city. From Guo Huai's words,
Deng Ai immediately guessed the reason. This Wu Shi must have been sent by Guo Huai to do something. But Deng Ai was a little confused. Under the current circumstances, what on earth did Guo Huai send Wu Shi to do?
? You must know that although Wu Shi is just a corps commander like himself, he is very skilled and is definitely a very good fighting force!
Guo Huai shouted several times, but received no reply. He had to stamp his feet, turned his head and shouted loudly: "The swordsman moved forward and raised his shield! The archer took three steps back and continued to shoot! The spearman is always ready!" This kind of defense
City formation has long been a compulsory course for students in Qingcheng. All students from Qingcheng College can easily arrange such a formation. Although this formation is simple, it is extremely practical and can give full play to the power of the defending army when defending the city.
Combat effectiveness, this is why Guo Huai chose such a formation to defend against the enemy.
"Brother Bo Ji! How is it? How is it?" A shout came from behind. Guo Huai and Deng Ai turned their heads at the same time, only to find that it was Wang Shuang who had come to the top of the city. At this moment, Wang Shuang
It was much worse than before, his face was a little pale, and there were dust and blood stains everywhere on his body, especially the arrow on his shoulder! But looking at Wang Shuang's appearance, he obviously didn't take his injuries seriously.
After seeing what was going on, he hurriedly ran to Guo Huai and Deng Ai. He looked outside the city, but his face became even more ugly, and he shouted: "Damn it! This damn Wei Jun!"
However, Guo Huai saw the injury on Wang Shuang's shoulder and said quickly: "Zi Quan! You are injured! Go down and treat the wound first! Shi Zai and I are here! You don't have to worry!"
"Ah?" After hearing Guo Huai's words, Wang Shuang was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the injury on his shoulder, but waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay! It's okay! What does this little injury have to do with it!
Just wipe it with saliva! My lord has entrusted Shangjun to me to guard it! How can I not personally supervise the battle?" After hearing Wang Shuang's words, Deng Ai and the soldiers beside him couldn't help but secretly wiped a cold sweat.
It can also be called a minor injury. It seems that the arrow penetrated Wang Shuang's shoulder, and it is still bleeding!
"No!" Guo Huai directly rejected Wang Shuang's answer and shouted to Wang Shuang: "Zi Quan! Your injuries are very serious! You must go to treatment immediately! Someone! Send the general to the military doctor in the city immediately.
Get treatment there! Go quickly!" Guo Huai said the last words to the soldiers around him. Those soldiers were obedient and directly picked up Wang Shuang from the left and right and rushed into the city. Maybe he saw
Guo Huai's expression was firm, and Wang Shuang no longer insisted. He just nodded to Guo Huai and Deng Ai, and let the soldiers help him down the city.
After sending Wang Shuang away, Guo Huai's face became more and more anxious, because at this moment, the Wei army outside the city had rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and ladders were set up directly on the city wall. At the same time, the archers of the Wei army also began to move towards
They fired arrows at the top of the city and counterattacked! Fortunately, Guo Huai had previously ordered the swordsmen and axemen to raise their shields for defense, and with the height advantage of the city wall, the arrows fired by the Wei army's archers did not cause any casualties. However, in this way, the top of the city
The defenders on the city could only rely on archers to fight back, but the swordsmen and axemen had to stand in front with their shields raised, unable to attack the enemies climbing on the city wall!
While blocking the incoming arrows, he anxiously watched more and more enemies on the city wall. Guo Huai's face no longer looked calm and steady as usual, but he looked behind him anxiously.
It seemed that they were waiting for something. At this moment, another shout suddenly came from behind the defenders: "General Guo! General Guo!"
This voice was very familiar to Deng Ai. It was Wu Shi's voice! After hearing Wu Shi's voice, Guo Huai's face finally showed an expression of surprise. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Wu Shi.
The scholar had just climbed up to the top of the city and was waving and shouting at Guo Huai! Deng Ai also stopped attacking with arrows in his hand and turned around to look at Wu Shi with curiosity. He was arranging for Guo Huai.
I was curious about the mission given to Wu Shi, but I didn’t know what Guo Huai had arranged for Wu Shi to do!
I saw Wu Shi still looking like before, running towards Guo Huai with a spear in hand, and behind Wu Shi, there were dozens of sergeants, including several of Wu Shi's subordinates.
Each of these people was carrying long wooden shelves made of logs in their hands. These wooden shelves were strange in shape. For a moment, Deng Ai couldn't see the use of these wooden shelves. Could it be that Guo Huai
At this critical moment, Wu Shi and others were sent to get these wooden shelves?
Just saying that these are wooden shelves is not quite correct, because the longer side of the wooden shelves is covered with iron nails, which looks a bit scary. But for some reason, when Deng Ai saw these wooden shelves, he
It always felt familiar. Wu Shi and his men happily ran to Guo Huai, gave Guo Huai a military salute, and shouted: "General Guo! I have brought everything!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Maybe he was too excited. Guo Huai said "Okay" three times to Wu Shi in a row. Then, he waved his hand and shouted: "Wu Shi, let the soldiers stop it."
Put up the door posts! Hurry!"
"Door blocking post?" Hearing Guo Huai say this, Deng Ai suddenly seemed to remember something. Looking at these wooden shelves, he looked more and more familiar. Wu Shi did not dare to delay at this moment, and immediately took the
He led the sergeants carrying the wooden shelves and placed the wooden shelves directly on the parapet. The design of these wooden shelves was very clever and could be fixed on the parapet. The two long protruding wooden shelves were covered with iron-clad circles.
One piece of wood is attached to the outer edge of the city wall, and the other protrudes forward. At first glance, it looks like it is covering the city wall with a cover.
"Ah! This is the doorpost!" Seeing the wooden shelves erected on the female wall, Deng Ai gave a high-five, but seemed to remember something and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Speaking of this gate-blocking post, we can trace it back to more than thirty years ago, when the great general Qin Wang Luo Yang fought his first battle that made the world famous! It was just after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Nanyang, guarded by Luo Yang, was attacked by the Yellow Turban thieves.
Siege! At that time, Luo Yang, who was just a captain with a sword, designed a strange wooden frame to help the defenders withstand the fierce attack of the Yellow Turban thieves! And this wooden frame was later called the "door blocking post"
"!
As Qingcheng College was specially established by Luoyang, this battle is naturally regarded as a classic case and has been studied many times by students, and gate posts often appear in students' classes for their reference.
Deng Ai is also a student who graduated from Qingcheng College, so he naturally recognizes this doorpost. However, it has been so long since he graduated from Qingcheng College, and some of the things he was taught at the college are a little blurry, so he didn't think about it just now.
I just got up, but I didn't expect that there are still so many doorposts in this county! After remembering the purpose of these doorposts, Deng Ai couldn't help but get excited. Back then, his lord Luo Yang relied on these doorposts to
It has blocked the attacks of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves! Now this gate post is obviously not as crude as when it was first built. After the transformation of the Mohist disciples, the gate post has become stronger and stronger, especially the iron
Nails can more effectively prevent the enemy from climbing up the city! From this point of view, it is not impossible for the defenders to block the enemy!
