Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters fill with life
After finally calming down the conflict between the two, Cao Ren, holding back his anger, shouted to Li Dian: "Mancheng! Go out into battle! Act according to the plan just designated!"
Seeing that the matter had subsided for the time being, Li Dian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, clasped his fists and shouted: "General, take your orders!" After saying that, Li Dian pulled the reins hard, turned the horse's head, and led the army towards the city.
Heading toward the gate. The quality of Cao Wei's army was not bad. Although they experienced the sudden attack, the soldiers quickly calmed down. Under the command of Li Dian, they dispersed the general formation and launched an attack!
On the top of the city, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu saw Cao Wei's army starting to attack again. At the same time, they turned their heads and looked outside the city. However, when they saw the weird formation of Cao Wei's army, both of them couldn't help being stunned, and then they were stunned again.
They glanced at each other and saw a worried look in each other's eyes. However, Guo Yi on the other side didn't understand the reason. He quickly grabbed Zhang Hu and asked: "General Zhang, what's wrong? Is there something unexpected?
?”
Zhang Hu shook his head, turned and stared at the enemy troops outside the city, and said: "It seems that the Wei general who leads the army this time is a master! I wonder if it is Cao Ren, Zhang Jia or Qu Yi?"
"It should be Cao Ren!" Lu Meng also said in a deep voice: "According to the intelligence, before Cao Wei attacked Youzhou, there was Zhang Jaw. It is impossible for Zhang Jaw to rush to Nanton from Youzhou immediately! And although Qu Yi said
The level of leadership is good, but it is mainly reflected in the team under his command that reached the camp first! Moreover, the lord once said that Cao Cao has a suspicious temperament, so for such an important battle, Cao Cao will definitely send the Cao family’s children to go on the expedition! "
"Cao Ren?" Zhang Hu tilted his head, his face became more and more gloomy, and said: "Cao Ren is cautious in marching and has rich experience. He is a difficult opponent! If the Wei army outside the city is commanded by Cao Ren, then this
Isn’t this battle really difficult to fight?”
Lu Meng and Zhang Hu were talking to each other so much that Guo Yi was confused. Although Guo Yi's father Guo Jia was a rare military master in the world, Guo Yi himself studied government affairs.
He said, "You know nothing about marching and fighting! You don't understand what's wrong with the enemy's formation outside the city at this moment. They don't understand why from this formation, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu guessed that the enemy's commander is Cao Ren!"
Finally, Zhang Hu saw Guo Yi's anxious expression, and smiled apologetically, explaining to him: "Master Guo, please look! The enemy's current formation is very loose. This formation is not the same as a normal attack.
The city formation does not match the formation, but it is very effective in preventing the attack of the arrow chariot on the city head! The enemy definitely did not put up this formation by accident. It is obvious that the enemy commander just made the attack with that attack.
He made a correct judgment and responded like this! Even among our Western Qin Army, not many generals can achieve this kind of response ability, let alone the Cao Wei Army!"
Lu Meng also nodded and continued: "Yes! At this level, among Cao Wei's army, there are only three generals who can have such ability: Cao Ren! Zhang Jia! And Qu Yi! Among these three, Cao Ren is the most difficult.
Tangle, followed by jaw opening, and Quyi is the weakest!"
After hearing Lu Meng's words, Guo Yi immediately felt a little strange and asked: "General Lu! I heard that although the generals in the Cao Wei Army are not as many as our Western Qin Army, they are definitely quite a lot! Why do you think that only
Are these three people here? Like Ma Chao and Wen Chou, even the lord would have some scruples, and Xia Houyuan is also very similar to his brother Xiahou Dun! Isn't it possible that it's the three of them?"
Guo Yi's question made both Lu Meng and Zhang Hu laugh. A trace of contempt flashed in Lu Meng's eyes. Of course, this contempt was not directed at Guo Yi. Zhang Hu continued to explain: "Ma Chao and
Wen Chou can make the lord fearful because of their bravery, not because of their strategies! As for Xia Houyuan, although he also has generals, he can only fight with favorable winds. Once the war encounters adversity, he will sink.
If you can't stop, you often resort to stupid tricks! The three people that General Lu and I just named are the three with the strongest intelligence and marching ability in Cao Wei's army! If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have this ability.
Such a quick change!"
Guo Yi just didn't understand military affairs, but he was not a fool. Zhang Hu had explained it so thoroughly that he naturally understood. Guo Yi immediately became anxious and asked hurriedly: "In that case, our arrow chariot actually
Isn’t it useless?”
Lu Meng waved his hand and said calmly: "It can't be said that it is useless, at least it can play a role in blocking the enemy! But next, we mainly rely on our soldiers! General Zhang! Let the Nanton defenders arrange their arrangements.
At the defense line, I will mobilize my soldiers and horses to go to the top of the city together. At least, we will repel this wave of enemy attacks first! Mr. Mo Shi! It is up to you to command this arrow chariot!"
After so many years of training on the battlefield, Lu Meng had long developed the habit of staying calm in times of trouble. In just a few words, he arranged the defense line properly, and then said to Guo Yi: "Master Guo! This city is too high.
It’s dangerous, why don’t you go back to the city to guard the palace, and tell your majesty and princess that they don’t have to worry!”
Guo Yi was also self-aware. He knew that if he continued to stay on top of the city, not only would he not be able to help, but it would drag down Lu Meng and Zhang Hu, so he did not pretend to be pretentious and simply bowed his hands to the three of them and said: "Several of you
Take care!" After saying that, Guo Yi turned around and retreated from the city.
While he was talking, Cao Wei's army had already rushed to the city wall, and aerial ladders had already begun to build up the city. Lu Meng had just mobilized the soldiers and horses to go to the city. Seeing the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.
He shouted to Mo Shi on the other side: "Mr. Mo Shi! Launch the attack! Don't think about saving anymore! Hit them hard in one go!"
After hearing Lu Meng's words, Mo Shi immediately ordered the Momen disciples to launch the arrow chariot! Suddenly, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard continuously, and arrows rained down towards Cao Wei's army formation outside the city!
Although Li Dian had ordered the soldiers to disperse, the power of the arrow chariot was too powerful, and many soldiers were still hit by arrows and died miserably under the city wall!
Seeing this tragedy, Li Dian gritted his teeth and held back his heartache under the city wall. The task assigned by Cao Ren before was to use the lives of these soldiers to consume the enemy's short arrows to the greatest extent! Although looking at his own
His subordinates died like this, and he felt very uncomfortable, but Li Dian could not order the withdrawal of the troops. He could only harden his heart and kept urging the army to continue the attack!
The loose formation of Cao Wei's army also played a certain role. After all, there were only twenty arrow chariots on the top of the city, which could not completely cover the entire defense line on the city. There were still many Cao Wei soldiers who started to follow the ladders and jump from the arrow chariots.
Climbing in the air during the attack! When Lu Meng saw it, he immediately shouted to Zhang Hu: "General Zhang! You lead the Nandun defenders to protect the arrow chariot and protect the Momen disciples! The rest of them, block it for me!"
The more than 300 Mo sect disciples brought by Lu Meng this time are valuable assets that cannot be measured in terms of money. Lu Meng cannot let them suffer here under any circumstances! After ordering Zhang Hu to protect Mo Shi and the others, Lu Meng
He led the elite soldiers he brought from Runan and placed them between the arrow chariots and the arrow chariots to block the enemy troops who were preparing to climb from the air!
Lu Meng's blockade is equivalent to filling the gap of the arrow chariot. Although the role of these soldiers cannot be compared with that of the arrow chariot, they have improved the defense line on the city, making Li Dian want to attack the city in one go.
The plan came to nothing. Li Dian was so angry outside the city that he gritted his teeth and wanted to kill him with a knife!
The soldiers of Cao Wei rushed up and were killed. After so many attacks, Cao Wei's army lost more than 2,000 people! However, these 2,000 people did not die in vain. With the two thousand people on the top of the city,
The ten arrow carts made a snapping sound, and Mo Shi's expression changed, and he immediately shouted to Lu Meng who was fighting not far away: "General Lu! The short arrow shooting is over!"
"Tsk!" Lu Meng cut a Cao Wei soldier who tried to jump up from under the female wall into two pieces with his sword, and his face was sprayed with blood. After hearing Mo Shi's words, Lu Meng wiped the blood on his face.
Xue Xue looked at the outside of the city, with a rather unwilling expression on his face! If this short arrow is enough, no matter how many enemies there are outside the city, they will still be repelled! But there are not so many what-ifs in the world, and Lu Meng no longer hesitates.
, immediately shouted to Mo Shi: "Mr. Mo Shi, please retreat with the Momen disciples! The next step is left to us! General Zhang! Organize the Nanton defenders to fight the enemy together!"
"Here!" Zhang Hu responded, commanding the Nandun defenders to block the gap left by Mo Shi and others after they left, and began to resist the enemy troops climbing up the city with Lu Meng!
Outside the city, Li Dian, who was directing the soldiers to rush forward, suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he was pleasantly surprised to find the twenty iron boxes that had previously posed a great threat to the army.
Gone! Li Dian laughed and shouted: "Soldiers! The enemy's weapons for defending the city are useless! Let's charge!"
"Kill!" Li Dian's words made all Cao Wei's soldiers aware of the situation. For a moment, the morale of Cao Wei's army was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward even harder. Cao Ren, who was watching the battle from behind, was also extremely excited and laughed a few times.
Immediately he shouted: "The whole army attacks! The whole army attacks! Take Nanton for me in one go!" In order to disperse the army, Cao Ren did not send all the 20,000 troops he brought up in one go. Now he saw
The enemy's weapon for defending the city was gone. How could Cao Ren miss this good opportunity? He mobilized all his troops and rushed towards the Nanton City in front! The Cao Wei army was like a surging black wave.
Nanton City is like a small boat traveling in the tidal wave, and is in danger of being destroyed at any time!
