Chapter 236 The Battle of Xingyang (2)
Chapter 236: The Battle of Xingyang (2)
A foul smell came from the camp.
Cao Cao resisted the urge to vomit, his face turned pale, and his steps staggered out.
The sound of wailing screams filled the wounded camp, which made people feel an indescribable feeling of pain in my heart.
Cao Cao walked out of the wounded camp, held a dead tree, and vomited violently.
The tragic situation he had just seen was something he had never seen in his life. The rags that were stuck in flesh and blood and feces made him finally know what the cruelty of war was. The breakfast was spit out completely, and even the bitter gallbladder was spit out.
After finally stopping vomiting, Cao Cao straightened his waist, his feet became weak, and his head was buzzing.
Even Xu Chu and Hu Cheer, who have always claimed to be very brave, are not much better than Cao Cao at this moment. However, although these two people did not vomit, their faces turned pale.
"Lord, how can you fight like this? You even need to use that thing? Damn, I think of it a little..."
Xu Chu cursed.
But unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Cao Cao felt disgusted again and he held the dead tree and vomited again.
Kill, die...
This is all normal. However, this is the first time that Dong Chu encountered such a trick, and it is difficult for a normal person to accept it.
"Zhongkang, don't mention this to me, I'm... nauseated now!"
Finally returned to normal, Cao Cao brought his men back to the tent.
Tao Qian was sitting in the tent. When he saw Cao Cao appear, he stood up and said loudly: "This battle cannot be fought, it cannot be fought!"
"Zo Gong, don't be impatient."
Cao Cao naturally understood what Tao Qian meant and smiled bitterly: "Isn't this the case in war? We are allowed to attack the city, so we are allowed to come up with a solution. But Xiping's move is really too vicious. After a few days, our army's morale will be depressed."
Zhang Chao slapped the armrests of the chair, "I have to beat you even if I am not feeling good... It's all up to this point, we have no way out."
"Premier Zhang said it well!"
Xi Zhicai and others came in with the curtains, and it can be seen that their faces were not very good.
Yiji said: "Lord, now we can only attack strongly. Whoever can persevere to the end will win. We have suffered heavy losses, so will Dong Xiping have no losses? Even if reinforcements in Luoyang support them, how long can we last?"
Xi Zhicai was speechless and pondered without saying a word.
Cao Cao was really hesitant and didn't know if he should continue to fight.
He told him rationally and clearly that he could not beat him anymore. But the reality told him that it was impossible not to beat him.
The besiege of Xingyang for nearly forty days, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Now, it depends on who can hold on.
Xu Chu stood up and said, "Lord, I am willing to fight tomorrow and take down the southern city for the lord..."
"What is Zhongkang's words?" Before Xu Chu's words could be finished, Cao Hong stood up and shouted: "My lord still needs you to protect Zhou Quan, how can you leave without authorization? Master, I am willing to ask for an order, and I will definitely take down Xingyang City for my lord tomorrow."
Cao Cao wanted to persuade him, but he listened to Xi Zhi and said, "Lord, the only way to attack now is to attack."
Everyone was busy praising him when they heard this.
Seeing that everyone was excited, Cao Cao stopped talking and stopped stopping them.
After sending Tao Qian and others away, Cao Cao grabbed Xi Zhicai and Yi Ji, "Sir, it's not wise to do it even though he knows it's impossible!"
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have persuaded my lord to send troops. I underestimated Dong Zhuo's ability... I didn't expect that the Dong family's mere warrior could actually fight to this extent... Cough cough cough!"
After a severe cough, Xi Zhi closed his eyes and calmed the qi and blood in his chest.
Swallowed a five-stone scattered face, and a sickly red color appeared, "Lord, I'll command the battle tomorrow!"
"Sir, your body..."
Xi Zhicai smiled, "Lord, don't worry, you will supervise the three cities tomorrow, and I will lead my own troops to attack Nancheng. There is not much time left, not much more!"
No one knows what the sentence Xi Zhicai means when he doesn’t have much time.
Cao Cao felt that Xi Zhicai must have said that if he could not capture Xingyang, the food and grass in the army would be in danger.
At this moment, I didn't delve into the meaning of Xi Zhicai's words, so I nodded and agreed.
It was already cold and it was very late.
Xi Zhicai directed his troops and launched a fierce attack on Nancheng again at dawn.
Qiang Yong, who was fearless, rushed towards the city tower with a cloud ladder. Waves of attacks made the golden juice on the city wall burning too late.
"Cao Hong..."
"The last one will be here!"
"No matter how much I lose, what method do you use? I want you to take the head of the city for me, otherwise I will come and see you."
When the war came to this point, all conspiracies and tricks became no longer important.
With the order from Xi Zhicai, Cao Hong immediately led his people to rush towards Xingyang.
At this moment, Dong Qi ran on the city tower with a broad-blade knife in his hand. The coalition's unafraid of death attack made him realize that the time for the decisive battle was coming.
The broad-blade knife kept bringing bloody light, and Dong Qi's eyes turned red on the bloody city.
I can't remember how many people I killed. The knife edge of the Western Regions that Mrs. Dong gave him back then had been curled.
Even so, Dong Qi didn't have time to replace his weapons.
Only roaring and constantly waving the big sword, the image of the flesh and blood flying like a ferocious god was deeply imprinted in the minds of the Kanto Alliance Army.
The battle lasted from early morning to afternoon, and became more and more tragic.
Finally, a hole collapsed in the city wall during repeated attacks.
Cao Hong led his men to the top of the city from the gap. It was already cold winter, but this guy was barefoot and covered in blood.
Dong Qi did not recognize Cao Hong, but Cao Hong recognized Dong Qi.
Cao Cao told the Cao family generals more than once about Dong Qi's appearance, so Cao Hong saw Dong Qi who was fighting at first sight.
With a tiger roar, he swung his sword at Dong Qi.
Dong Qi was already stunned when he saw someone rushing over, and the broad-blade knife slashed several coalition forces beside him with the sound of wind. He rushed over to Cao Hong and stepped into the air. The roar like a giant thunder echoed over the city like a thunderbolt.
clang……
Cao Hong's sword was shattered by Dong Qi's attack, and his feet staggered backwards.
The broad-blade knife was also broken by Dong Qi's huge force...
This was a gift from Mrs. Dong, but it was ruined here. Dong Qi's eyes turned red, and he roared and rushed over.
A coalition army stepped forward to stop him, but Dong Qi dodged his weapons and smashed them over with his fists.
At this time, Cao Hong stood up.
The attack just now made his ears buzz. Before he could react, Dong Qi rushed in front of him.
The palm fan clasped Cao Hong's neck with a big hand. Several coalition soldiers stabbed the guns, and a long spear penetrated Dong Qi's shoulders. The severe pain made Dong Qi completely crazy... He pinched Cao Hong's neck, and with one arm, he shouted, and then he pulled Cao Hong up. He grabbed the spear with one hand, twisted it hard, twisted the gun bar, and then swept Cao Hong's body over and smashed the coalition soldiers under the city.
With a bang, Cao Hong's legs hit the ground, and his neck was tightly clasped, and he screamed.
Dong Qi grabbed one leg with one hand, and the other with the other, and used his arms to roar, "Open!"
Cao Hong was torn in half.
He was covered in blood, organs, and an intestine was hanging around his neck.
Dong Qi had half a piece of corpse in one hand and a fierce attack came. That image was enough to make the soldiers who climbed up the city break their minds. However, the Liangzhou army guarding the city was greatly shocked, and drove the coalition forces that had just climbed to the city and had not yet established a foothold down the city.
The news of Cao Hong's death made Xi Zhicai, who was breathing a sigh of relief, fainted on the spot.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he walked away...
That was his brother, who had been loyal since he defected to him. Cao Cao spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma on the spot.
The attack that lasted for a day had to stop.
The slow retreat of the coalition forces also gave Xingyang a moment of breath.
Dong Qi, who woke up, knew very well that if this continues, he would probably not last long and Xingyang would be destroyed.
Especially the cracked gap in Nancheng was blocked in a hurry.
But can we continue to support tomorrow?
Sitting in the hall with Jia Xu, the two looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.
"Zhenghou, let's retreat!"
Yang Ding, the governor of Xingyang, couldn't help but stand up and speak, "We can follow Ao Cang and wait for the enemy to come in and burn Xingyang with fire."
Jia Xu shook his head, "I'm afraid it's difficult to succeed if you use the same trick for the second time."
Dong Qi said: "General Yang, we have all reached our limit. If we withdraw from Xingyang, we will be the coalition forces that are already on the verge of collapse and regain our vitality. On the contrary, if we can defend Xingyang, the coalition forces will completely collapse. This is the situation now. Whoever can persist will be able to win. If we take a step back, we will be done."
How could Yang Ding not understand this principle?
But the current situation is that the Xingyang city walls are damaged, can they still survive?
Dong Qi felt the atmosphere depressed and stood up and walked out of the hall. The cold air in the middle of the night woke up his dizzy head.
If it really doesn't work, just withdraw!
Dong Qiu persuaded himself: He had already reached this level, even if Cao Cao occupied Xingyang, he would probably not have the strength to advance westward.
no……
Chenggao was not lost, how could I lose to Lu Bu?
Dong Qi clenched his fists and rejected his previous thoughts. Yes, if Lu Bu guarded Chenggao and he lost Xingyang, then no one in Dong Zhuo could suppress Lu Bu. If Lu Bu could not be suppressed, this person's ambition would...
Dong Qi leaned against the corridor column and looked up into the air.
The moonlight tonight is particularly bright. The icicles under the eaves are crystal clear.
