Chapter 3321 Death and Life

The sun comes out every day, and life must continue.

As long as you are still alive.

Older people respect life and want to live another five hundred years, while younger people despise life and feel that if they cannot live great, they will die heroically.

Cao's army's siege tactics are already at the top of this era.

The most important thing is not that Cao's army has the advantage, but that after Cao Cao arrived, the methods of organizing the offensive have undergone great changes.

The city wall is so big that thousands of people cannot get crowded in one breath, but the difference between the arrangement and the random mess is apart.

So Anyi increased its intensity in a short period of time.

When Cao's army surrounded Anyi, Cao Hong pretended to behave and let Pei Jun make trouble. The Cao army was mainly building a large camp around Anyi to prevent the raids. Pei Junzhi was very talented, so it was obvious that it would not really put any pressure on Anyi. At that time, Cao Hong did not give Pei Jun much authority, so he later kicked Pei Jun away and threw it to Wen Xi.

So generally speaking, if the attack intensity that Anyi was subjected to at that time was considered to be Pei Jun's standard, then after Cao Cao arrived, it would automatically double and double again. After all, if Cao Cao climbed onto the platform, any unit was lazy and sloppy, he would naturally see clearly with Cao Cao's experience. Even if these Cao troops did not have generals, they would be serious.

At this point, the attack intensity of Anyi was about two to three Pei Jun's strength.

Then Bao Zhong and his troops began to deploy the attack, which roughly doubled again. Under his leadership, the attack power of Pei Jun was about four or five times that of Pei Jun, which caught the Anyi defender off guard. Cao's army also once attacked the city wall.

Then Cao Cao received a secret message from the rear. In a bad mood, Cao Hong also joined the supervision and deployment. He began to transfer elite Cao troops such as the Central Guards and other Cao troops to assist in the attack. The pressure under Anyi doubled again.

It was probably more than ten times the intensity before.

At this point, the casualties of the defenders in Anyi City began to soar. Until Pei Ji couldn't stand it, Pei Mao also took out the last coffin book and filled it out...

However, the coffin was added, but it was still not enough. When Cao Hong was supervising the formation and Bao Zhong was in the front army and trying hard to pry open the turtle shell of Anyi, the private soldiers of Pei Mao and Pei Ji and others were like dropping a drop in the bucket, and in a blink of an eye it disappeared into the flames of Cao's surging attack.

So, why didn’t the Cao army fight to attack Anyi at the beginning? Isn’t it like taking down the city of Anyi now?

Mainly, Anyi just comes with...

In this era, unless the defending party has no preparation at all, the offensive party can raid or attack the city by surprise. Or the defensive party has no mind to defend at all. When the offensive party's flag appears from a distance, it will scream and run away, otherwise there is no possibility of breaking the city in a short time...

Except for Fei Qian's wall hanging.

At the beginning, the Cao army needed time to build siege equipment, and also time to eliminate the fighting spirit and strength of the Anyi defenders. They also had to dig holes everywhere and wait for the cavalry, and they only focused on Anyi City at the moment.

Originally, Bao Zhong just tried his best to climb the city wall on the first day to show that he was not a waste of money, and also took advantage of the opportunity to attack Anyi to escape from the Cao army's base camp.

Because Bao Zhong did not believe in Bao Xin, he simply "died in the chaos of the army".

During the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans marched into Yanzhou, Liu Dai, then the governor of Yanzhou, did not listen to Bao Xin's advice, and rashly went to fight and died in battle. There was nothing to say. Even if Liu Dai did not die in the hands of the Yellow Turbans, he would die in the hands of others, because most of the Yanzhou gentry at that time felt that Liu Dai was not a son, so it would be better to change someone else...

However, everyone had different opinions on the candidates for the Yanzhou governor. Some people liked it, and they felt that it was outstanding in their talent. Some people thought that Bao Xin was the oldest and had the richest experience, so they were sure to be stable. Cao Cao was just Yuan Shao behind his butt at that time.

Of course, there are records that Chen Gong supported Cao Cao at that time, so Bao Xin welcomed Cao Cao to Yanzhou...

However, this kind of "welcome" was actually Chen Shou's great strength in the Three Kingdoms, proving Bao Xin's praise of Cao Cao and trying to prove the legitimacy of Comrade Lao Cao's starting lineage.

But the only thing that is missing is that in most cases, this kind of "civil election" requires three or three worships.

Only Liu Bei three gave way to Xuzhou, while Cao Cao three gave way to Yanzhou.

In history, Lu Bu did not understand this, so when Liu Bei expressed humility, Lu Bu suffered carelessly, and said that Liu Bei was really weird, but in fact he planted the root of disaster.

So how could Bao Xin, who had been living in the Han system for many years, not understand this? So no one knows whether Bao Xin's "welcome" was a polite "welcome" or really wanted to "welcome" Cao Cao, because Bao Xin took a risk to save Cao Cao in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army shortly afterwards, and finally died in the battle...

When Shouzhang was fighting with the Yellow Turban Army, Bao Xin and Cao Cao were on the front line, but Cao Cao's flag was exposed for some reason, and Cao Cao's infantry troops failed to arrive!

The cup was served on the table.

Later official announcement stated that Bao Xin bravely fought to protect Cao Cao's retreat during the battle, and was eventually brutally killed by the Yellow Turban thief.

After the war, although Cao Cao offered a large reward to find Bao Xin's body, he was unfortunately unable to find it. Cao Cao had to carve the wood into Bao Xin's appearance to worship, which also expressed his condolences and respect for Bao Xin.

Then Cao Cao naturally became the governor of Yanzhou, without three resignations or three bows, so he just acted like this.

The situation in wartime is critical, so it is understandable to deal with it with authority.

Cao Cao turned around in the winter of that year and "killed" Bao Xin, which caused Bao Xin's body to be left to take the 300,000 Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, which had no bones left, to form the famous Qingzhou Army.

Then, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang.

One reason is that Bian Rang said something that should not be said, which made the entire Yanzhou gentry very dissatisfied with Cao Cao...

Then, Cao Cao killed Kong Rong.

One of the reasons is that Kong Rong, the old boy, always ridiculed him, making Mr. Cao look down on his face?

Then, in history, Cao Cao, after twenty years of his death, he remembered to remember Bao Xin's achievements. He wrote that Bao Xin's son Bao Shao was appointed as the Marquis of Xinduting and summoned Bao Xin's son Bao Xun as the Prime Minister.

Then the question arises. What exactly is it that Cao Cao cannot tolerate or say?

You should know that Cao Cao endured Xu You's broken mouth for a long time before he secretly signaled others to attack him.

There is no answer to these things in the official writings. Bao Zhong could not find any deeds to prove his speculation, but because he felt that after Bao Xin's death, Cao Cao's profits were undoubtedly the greatest.

Moreover, Bao Zhong felt that Cao Cao actually knew that Bao Zhong was suspicious, so he kept Bao Zhong with him intentionally or unintentionally.

Bao Zhong was uneasy under Cao Cao's command, but this kind of uneasiness cannot be told to outsiders, and even his own children cannot be told. Because his children are so simple that they don't know that some people will kill people in order to take a look at them in the crowd...

Of course, you can choose to believe in the character of Lao Cao.

As for Bao Zhong himself, he didn't believe it, so he would rather come to attack Anyi. Because he was familiar with Bao Zhong's siege, he was not at all good at dealing with the cavalry. Seeing that the cavalry was coming, if one day the cavalry really came, and Lao Cao asked him to fight the cavalry, would he go or not? At least when attacking Anyi, Bao Zhong could still make the decision to let his children stay in a safer place.

Are you familiar with it or not? At least Bao Zhong can still grasp the rhythm of the siege battle, but he never expected that after receiving the urgent report from Eight Hundred Miles, Cao Cao would have to attack Anyi overnight in an abnormal manner!

This will kill Bao Zhong...

Because Cao Hong didn't care whether Bao Zhong was intentional or unintentional, or whether he was loyal or disloyal, when he saw that Bao Xin's child seemed to be eager to lead his troops to attack the city, he waved his hand and said, "Go!"

So Bopikachu rushed forward with a scream, completely ignoring his father's good intentions.

For Cao Hong, his own children died in Hedong, so would Cao Hong care if other people's children go to die? Cao Hong just cared about what happened behind him, which made Cao Cao lose his composure!

Although Cao Cao finally controlled his emotions and said in an understatement that there was nothing, Cao Hong knew that there must be something serious.

For example, although Cao Pi was not dead, he was injured and disabled?

Or...

Cao Hong dared not think about it, so he had to do something so that he could calm down.

So Cao Hong drove away his soldiers and fought for his life to attack the city!

As for the future, I can only wait for the future!

Cao Hong personally urged the soldiers to roll the stones in front of the formation with arrows. Who else dares to slack off?

Nowadays, Anyi has used the materials from rolling stones and wood. Some of them are basically made from demolishing the houses in the city. However, the more the house is demolished, the further away the manpower will become, and the more tired the manpower will be, so the threat to the Cao army in the city is still mainly boiling water...

Even the golden juice was gone, only water. When it boiled in the pot where the golden juice was originally burning, it poured down!

Generally speaking, this thing has much less lethality than gold juice. After all, gold juice is viscous, corrosive and toxic. As long as it is contaminated with a little, it is life-threatening. If boiling water is not the first few unlucky guys, it can still be called boiling water from the top of the city. When it is spilled under the city, it can only be said to be hot.

Moreover, if there is a shield covering it, it will not touch the skin at the first time, and the threat is indeed more than one level lower than gold juice and tincture oil.

However, if you talk about the harm without the dose, you are all playing hooligans.

The soldiers guarding the city obviously did not want to repel Cao's army with a pot of boiling water. They just dealt with the ladders on the top of the city and forced the Cao army with swords, guns and armor to retreat.

So when I didn't put my energy into siege before, I often saw a long list of Cao troops on the ladder, and then I slammed two scoops of boiling water on my head. The Cao army soldier in the front was poured on his face and fell down with a scream. The other Cao army soldiers on the ladder quickly slid down, scattering birds and beasts, and then continued to climb the ladder after a while.

But now that Cao Hong ordered the city to be attacked, it was immediately different.

Even if the boiling water leaked along the gap of the shield, the exposed head, face and hands of the Cao army soldiers were burned, and they still screamed and continued to rush upwards!

Bao Zhong did not know that his son had led another team of soldiers to another city wall in Anyi. He thought that his child could survive this disaster under his protection and avoid the ruthless swords and guns. Bao Zhong fought his life to at least prove that their father and son were not a good meal, and could be somewhat reasonable in front of Cao Cao. But his child did not think so. He always felt that Bao Zhong did not believe him, looked down on him, and wanted to do something earth-shaking to make his father admit his power...

For the Anyi defenders, Bao Zhong's son led the new force to launch a fierce attack on another city wall, but it seemed like Cao's army was using the strategy of attacking the east and west!

So when facing the strategy of fighting against the West, should we focus on dealing with the East or the West?

Bao Zhong was still not sure, and felt that the city was a little relaxed. His old arms and legs could not always be on the steamer and on the ladder. He was a little proud and lazy. When he took the time to look back, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

Where is his child?!

This feeling is not something that can never be felt by parents. It is like a small broken station. Some people fainted when they saw the lost child’s parents, but they still grabbed their phones. This means that the blind monk found the Huadian, and the intern found the excitement like hydrology. He screamed and expressed his opinions, but he didn’t know that at that moment, fainting was protected by the body’s instinct. If the cardiovascular system was not good, he would die on the spot!

Bao Zhong was looking for it urgently, but he could not see the figure who was supposed to be standing under the battle flag in the distance!

And the general flag in the distance changed from "Bao" to "Cao"!

"Da Lang! Where is Da Lang?!"

Bao Zhong rushed back quickly, and the more he walked back, the more sad he felt. He tried to sing and beating in front of others, pretending to be stupid. Isn’t it just to make a fortune for his children? Although his children are indeed not so smart, they are always his flesh and blood, his future.

"Where did Dalang go? Who has seen Dalang?!"

Bao Zhong was tilted and asked whenever he saw someone. The Cao army soldiers and generals who were originally in the back formation had already changed to a new group of people. He knew how many of Bao Zhong was and responded. Those who didn't know each other or were not familiar with him would shook his arm and leave.

Bao Zhong asked under the flag of the Cao general, but saw Cao Hong with a calm face and fierce face, "What are you going to do?! Why don't you go and urge the soldiers to quickly take down Anyi!"

Bao Zhong didn't dare to talk back, but after all, he didn't see his own child, so he asked in a desperate manner, "Dare you ask the general, my Dalang... I don't know where he went?"

Cao Hong glanced at Bao Zhong with the corner of his eyes, "What's wrong? Your Dalang felt that you had worked hard to attack the city, and for the sake of your lord's worries, he led another team of soldiers to attack the west city wall! You... You Wuling retreated without retreat, I will write it down for now and quickly return to the front line to command! Now Anyi has the last breath left! You can capture it with more effort! If you capture Anyi, it's okay if Wuling retreats without retreat! If... Humph, you can do it yourself!"

『But my son…』

Bao Zhong still wanted to fight for a while, but saw Cao Hong's eyes stabbing towards him like a knife.

"What? I think I can't kill you?"

Cao Hong's voice was cold and murderous intent overflowed from his teeth.

Bao Zhong didn't dare to say anything else, so he retreated after a while.

At this time, as Cao Hong said, it was already at the last moment. Whether it was the private soldiers of the Pei family or the recruitment of civilians in the city, they were also killed and exhausted.

The original defenders on the city were almost completely covered, and one out of ten was not allowed. Even the people who recruited the city were lost.

Some civilians had no armor at all, and then Cao's army roared in arrows. Whether it was men, women and children, young, strong, old or weak, they all shot to the ground. Blood soaked every floor tiles on the city wall and filled all the gaps. When they stepped on, some purple and black surged out from their feet, like hands stretched out from hell.

The utensils guarding the city were either used up or damaged. Even the pot and pot with gold juice and water were burned several times. Two or three pots were left in the ashes because of lack of fuel.

A large number of wounded people were wailing on the city walls and under the inner walls, and no one paid attention to them and treated them. There were also many bodies that were not available to be transferred and dragged, and they were left to be slumped or tilted, and they were incompletely covered on the city walls and in the corridors.

At the moment, whether it was the soldiers guarding the city or the civilians, it was indeed as Cao Hong said, just holding on in one breath, and fighting with his instinct to resist Cao's attack.

Many people in the city died under the attack of Cao's army, including fathers and children.

When war has not come to their own heads, the people of Hedong always feel that war is just like this, and that is just like this in troubled times. But now in the face of death, no one will say a word, and even the keyboard warrior who dances the most happy on weekdays is silent...

Pei Mao dragged his old body and fought against Cao's army with Pei Ji respectively.

Wars will not be given special preferential treatment to Pei Mao because he is old and has poor health. On the contrary, the more chaotic the times are, the more dangerous the elderly and the weak are.

The same is true for Pei Mao, but no soldiers of the Cao army would see Pei Mao’s gray-bearded hair, and they would respect and love the elderly and avoid them with kindness. Instead, when they saw Pei Mao’s armor was in full, they knew it was a big fish, and they would slash and slash at Pei Mao more and more!
