Chapter 3313 What will happen if you fight a little
Emei Ridge, east side.
Wherever you hear the joy, the sound of killing shook the sky.
These local gentry and gentry in the Han Dynasty were often able to burst out with amazing defensive power when protecting their own manors.
When the sun sets, the sound of jingling gold sounds sounds, which means that Cao's army has failed again in offense.
Outside Wenxi City, a tall mound of soil had been built along the city wall.
The strategy of road moves is half right.
Indeed, using mounds of soil to attack Wenxi is indeed a good way. As long as you can stack mounds of soil onto the top of the city, it naturally means that Cao's soldiers can rush directly to Wenxi's city.
But Luzhao forgot a problem.
Soil is not bricks and stones.
Although Luzhao has indeed thought of ways to prevent these civilians from throwing landblocks everywhere, even if the civilians piled the landblocks in one direction, the landblocks would inevitably slide down by themselves under the influence of gravity, and the more they piled up, the faster the landblocks fell.
The war is still going on. Even though these captured people tried hard to pile up the landblocks, they still had no good results.
On the bloody road that was trampled out, many corpses became part of the mound, just like their birth, no one cared about their deaths.
There is not enough food, only huge projects.
The soldiers of the Cao army treated these civilians like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. If there was any mistake, they would whip them and even kill them with one knife. Then they asked other cattle and sheep to peel them off, cut off the meat and cook them into broth.
The soldiers of Cao's army did this, first to better control these civilians, secondly, they did not regard these civilians as humans, thirdly to minimize the loss of food and grass and ensure the supply of Cao's army's soldiers and maximize the exploitation of civilians. However, Luzhao was not clear, and it was precisely his doing that made the people of Wenxi more united and resisted Luzhao's attack.
Except for those stupid, bad and pirated guys, most people are unwilling to be a cattle and sheep under the knife of others.
If Cao's army arrived, the people of Wenxi would have been trapped and were deceived and were killed and then massacred after being deceived. However, the way to attack was just a general with little brains or low intelligence, who only knew how to kill, so Wenxi's people would naturally become more and more united under the leadership of Pei.
Seeing the tragic death of the civilians under the city, the people in Wenxi City naturally empathized with it. At this moment, even if Lu Zhao said that he would surrender and avoid death, and he would be generous, no one would believe it.
The road tricks can only be honest and bit by bit, and he is also very surprised, why are the guys like Wenxi so strong and stubborn?
Wenxi City is not big.
There are also advantages of not having big cities, which means that the troops defending the city do not need too much. When Cao's army concentrates on attacking a certain wall, it can also quickly mobilize soldiers from the other wall to assist in defense. After all, if the city is too big, it would be tiring to run around like this.
Similarly, small cities also have disadvantages of small cities.
The war in recent days has caused Wenxi's city walls to collapse and be destroyed. The people of Wenxi demolished their own houses and blocked them back with bricks, stones, and wooden beams.
The first person to demolish his own house was Pei himself.
Pei took the lead, what else can anyone say?
This has always been the case for the Chinese people.
As long as the leader is powerful, the people will naturally burst out with motivation beyond their imagination!
So those guys who always scold the Chinese people and complain, and always think that these people are either stupid or bad, and those who open their mouths and keep talking non-people are actually these guys. They really need to consider whether they are stupid and bad. Of course, if these guys can reflect on themselves, they will not scold the people.
Under the low-high Wenxi city wall, various siege equipment was piled up in chaos.
Goose car, snatch, rushing car, ladder.
Some were smashed and some were burned.
The siege equipment is surrounded by layers of corpses.
There are Cao's army and guards, and of course more are still from the civilians.
Under the city walls, there are digging gaps everywhere.
It's like a puberty face, bumpy.
Some civilians were driven by Cao's army and digging holes in the potholes under the city, trying to dig open a gap in the city wall, and then they could directly rush into the city!
However, the civil servants were not full, and the Wenxi City Wall was a solid earth wall made of glutinous rice layers. These civil servants had no handy tools, so they could only see that they seemed to be busy every day, but there was still not much effect. The soil was shaking, but the progress was not rapid.
The blood almost soaked all the land around the city, forming a viscous depression in some places. When stepped on it, it was like there were countless souls in such depressions that would stretch out their invisible hands to grab the legs and feet of the passing people, and they could not pull them out for a long time.
It is difficult to attack the city, but it is also difficult to defend the city.
Originally the same country, the same nation, and even the people of neighboring counties, they are now divided into enemies and us, and they sacrifice their lives to fight.
『General has an order!』 Cao's soldiers shouted loudly, 『If you fight today, you will be lazy! You will be able to kill the order for twenty times!』
The retreating civilians stood up obediently under the soldiers and swords and guns of Cao's army.
The soldiers of Cao's army wandered among them, grabbed one or two people from time to time, punched and kicked, and dragged them to the front of the formation.
"kill!"
Cao Jun Military Academy waved his hand expressionlessly.
The head fell to the ground.
Twenty kills, that is, five percent.
If a company or company is lazy due to its reduced efficiency, then it is understandable that it is still possible to implement the last-place elimination mechanism. However, Cao Jun’s current twenty-shot orders are definitely not because of the attack and the news...
Because the Cao army soldiers even stood on the wall of the camp, watching the retreating civilians laughing and laughing, they didn't feel anything that could not conquer Wen Xi's anxiety.
It's like watching these folks jokes!
Because speaking of this, these civilians are also from Hedong.
People from Hedong beat Hedong, this is not a joke, what is it?
"What are you still standing there?" Cao Jun Military Academy shouted indifferently, "Isn't it still hot?"
A group of Hedong people who were walking zombies staggered forward, shaving their skins and cutting their flesh.
In Journey to the West, there are thousands of people who can eat in Lion Camel Ridge, but as long as you become a driver of a god, all sins can be eliminated.
...
...
The cavalry formation led by Zhang Xiu and Li Er did not entangle Lu Zhao under Wenxi City, but rushed directly to Lu Zhao's back line.
For Hussars, galloping on horseback is almost an instinct for them.
For Li Er, riding a horse and trampling on and killing Cao's soldiers became the happiest time he has been in the past few days.
Zhang Xiu bypassed Wenxi's battlefield and began to intercept Cao's rear-line troops.
Li Er roared, waved his sword, rushed left and right, unstoppable.
While laughing wildly, he cut down the fourth or fifth Cao army soldiers, and then found that there was no opponent in front of him. They killed the Cao army array and completely defeated the Cao army transportation queue.
"Hahaha!" Li Er threw away the blood from the sword, and then shouted at Zhang Xiu who was slowly coming later, "General! It should have been a long time since we fought like this! This is how we can have fun!
Zhang Xiu looked at the black smoke rising from the burning van, glanced at Li Er again, and then looked into the distance, "Generally speaking, if you hit the younger one, it's time to get old ones... Guess who will come?"
Li Er was wiping the sword and laughing at him, "Isn't this just right? I also think these Cao army soldiers were too irresistible and fell down in just a few seconds! It's time for a real opponent to come!"
"Hmph." Zhang Xiu ignored Li Er's dissatisfaction with his desires.
He also had the stage of Li Er, and he felt that killing was the most exciting and military achievements were the best.
But now, Zhang Xiu has considered more things.
"The old ones will come, and the younger ones will be afraid." Zhang Xiu turned around and looked at Wen Xi's direction, "What do you think if Wen Xi's Cao army knew that their retreat was broken?"
『Ah?』 Li Er was stunned for a moment, 『This...』
...
...
Although the shouts of killing under Wenxi City were still loud, they didn't feel much strength anymore, and they seemed to be perfunctory.
It was like a salesperson in a marketing company in a later generation responding to hello, "Very good, very good, very good..."
Wenxi's city wall seems to be a little broken than the previous two days.
But Wenxi was so ragged, so it seems that it’s okay to have a little bit more ragged today.
The east and west of the city were covered with broken siege equipment, scattered all over the battlefield.
These behemoths, which once carried the ambition of siege, are now broken wood blocks and charred wreckage, seemingly silently telling the cruelty of the battle.
And in this chaos and destruction, corpses are everywhere.
Cold, rotten.
The battlefield is full of devastation, and this battlefield is like a drawing of hell, which is unbearable to witness.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and anxiety, which was the olfactory mark of death and destruction.
The offense and defense of both sides have been going on for nearly a month, and they both looked exhausted from fighting.
Most of the defenders in the city were also damaged. Now many of the people in Wenxi City are holding swords and guns to assist in defense on the city. Women and the elderly and weak have difficulty transporting the bricks, stones, and wooden pillars in the city to the city.
The entire circle of houses near the city walls have almost been demolished, and all the stones, wood and other useful have been collected.
Some children sat in the ruins in a daze, and they didn't even have much energy to cry.
Siege and defend cities in the era of cold weapons has never been a beautiful thing.
And outside Wenxi City, in the Cao Jun camp.
Several military academies were surrounding the road and talking.
Their backbone was cut off.
The soldiers who sent the message almost lost half of their lives.
"What should I do now? This damn Wen Xi defender is really a tough guy! I originally thought...
"Why do you think? You think?!"
"Fuck! After defeating Wenxi, I will definitely strip the guards of my own hands!"
"These pickled goods are all unusable!"
"These guys are all the guys! They can't say that they are all pretending to be in the city! They are all from Hedong!"
"That's better to kill it just right!"
『Kill it completely?! Ha! If you kill it completely, you will go to attack the city?!
"Wait! Isn't we going to discuss the issue of our food and grass now? Our retreat has been cut off!"
"Those damn cavalry thieves only dare to run around! They have the will to attack the camp! Damn!"
"Food! Damn it!"
Luzhao is a little disgusted.
If I had known this, I would not have summoned these military academies to discuss the matters. Mao didn't even talk about it, but he would have been whispering for a long time. He couldn't listen anymore and slapped it on the table with a bang, "Shut up!"
Several military academies suddenly shrank and became quiet.
Lu Zhao originally thought that he was going to set a strategy, one was to continue to attack the city, and the other was to evacuate.
Very simple, right?
Unfortunately, simple things on the surface are often not simple.
Before attacking Wenxi, Lu Zhao thought he could do everything and conquering Wenxi was simply a good idea, so he slapped his chest in front of Cao Cao for orders to lead the army, but now...
After being cut off from the rear and burned supply, according to conventional rules, we can only retreat.
But with such a retreat, what about the military order of Luzhao?
Wenxi is indeed struggling dyingly, and it is obvious that the city will be broken. But the question is, who knows how many days Wenxi can struggle? What if Cao's army completely cut off food the day before the city fell? Could it be that he can still learn from those pigs and dogs to eat rat meat? Is this necessary?
So actually Luzhao wanted to withdraw his troops, but when he went back like this, he obviously had to bear the biggest blame, so Luzhao wanted to get one point and everyone took the blame together, so he would be more relaxed.
But Cao's military academy is not a fool, so he naturally talks about everything but doesn't talk about withdrawing troops.
Lu Zhao called out his name and asked several military academies to take turns to speak, but he still couldn't get the result he wanted. These Cao Jun military academies either followed the general's orders, or patted their chests and said that they would follow the decisions of Lu Zhao...
Lu Zhao has a calm face.
Cao's army was short of food for a day or two.
Luzhao asked these Hedong civilians to eat rat meat, and to kill twenty times after the siege every day, in order to save food and grass as much as possible. He divided the Hedong civilians into ten teams, with eight teams playing every day and two teams resting. He never gave enough food and grass, and he was always instilling that these civilians did not work hard to attack the city, which led to their lack of serious food and grass.
At the same time, some people were promoted among these teams to exempt them from the probability of being killed, and to serve as spokespersons of Cao's army to assist Cao's army in management, so that these people were responsible for distributing those pitiful and serious food.
This will maintain the current situation, and the future will be cut off!
The subsequent food and grass cannot keep up, which is really fatal!
Lu Zhao saw the right from the left, and then from the right, and finally said viciously: "Everyone wants me to make the decision, right? OK, I made the decision. What should I do if someone doesn't comply?"
Several military academies looked at each other, and they felt something was wrong.
Someone forced a smile and said, "The general is kind to me..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Zhao interrupted the man, "I just asked you to say that, if you don't say it, now I still want to say it, it's too late! Come and make ten lots!"
Several military academies couldn't help but swallow.
Obviously, Luzhao is to draw lots for military academy.
In the Han Dynasty, drawing lots were called "draw lots". It is said that when the Red Eyebrow Army decided on the candidate for the emperor, it adopted the method of drawing lots, and finally made Liu Penzi the emperor...
"Even if the grain team is robbed, it will be difficult to support it even if it is immediately lucky!" Lu Zhao stared at the military academies in front of him fiercely, "Don't you all say you want to listen to me? OK! Now you just want to draw lots! Just like two civilian teams, one civilian team corresponds to an hour! Starting from tomorrow, you will attack the city with all your strength! The civilians retreat, and the soldiers will behead them! If you retreat, hum, don't blame a certain military law for being ruthless!"
Without food and grass, the Cao army would never be able to continue raising these civilians.
Even a small supply every day is a considerable pressure, so tomorrow's bloody battle naturally seems to have become an inevitable choice.
Lu Zhao took the lot handed over by the guards on the side and held the marked part in his palm, "Come on! In the battle tomorrow, even if you want to pile up people's lives, you will also pile up on the top of the city!"
...
...
On the other side of the battlefield, the troops led by Cao Xiu were rushing towards Wenxi.
Originally, Cao Xiu should have arrived at the Wenxi battlefield earlier, but...
Cao Xiu also received news that the transport team was attacked by the cavalry. This bad news made the already nervous Cao army even more urgent.
When the information came, Cao Xiuzheng and his deputy general studied the map and planned the route in the account.
The soldiers who reported were panting, pale, covered in mud and blood, and their voices were trembling and rapid: "Report to General! The food team was ambushed by a cavalry and horses, and suffered heavy losses!"
If you want to make any equipment, of course it is impossible to rub it out while walking...
Originally, Cao Xiu thought it would only take one or two days, but he didn't expect it to take four or five days.
This will naturally slow down.
Originally, Cao Xiu thought that the time spent was worth it.
It turns out that it is worth it now.
Cao Xiuteng stood up, measured on the map, and determined the location of the cavalry and horse attacking the grain team. In fact, it was less than two days away from them. If it were said before...
Of course, it's too late to think about it now.
Although he has learned to calm down as a general who has been in the battlefield for a long time in the face of such emergencies, the attack on Cao's rations not only means the loss of food and grass weapons, but also means that the enemy's tactics have become more cunning and fierce, and also means that Luzhao has lost control of the battlefield and has opened a huge gap in Wenxi battlefield.
This is very dangerous!
