Chapter 825 Yanzhou Army Attacks Xiangyang (Continued)(1/2)
For Cao Cao, he really didn't expect to attack Xiangyang the next day, and his side could make any substantial progress. After all, if he really allowed his side to take advantage of it, he wouldn't be the famous Liangzhou army in the world. So everything was indeed expected and nothing unexpected.
Indeed, it is actually like this. If you want to break Xiangyang in two days, or let your side have a big advantage, then Cao Cao will have some doubts and feel that it is abnormal. Because if this is true, is it still the famous Liangzhou army in the world? If that is the case, I wonder how many people will be disappointed, isn’t it?
Actually, if you think about it carefully, people sometimes seem to be like this. If the Liangzhou army is weaker than expected, then Cao Cao would definitely be disappointed. Even if he could take down Xiangyang City in one go, he would not feel too happy. But the Liangzhou army was indeed very strong and did not disappoint him. He began to worry, and he had to do so, so...
-----------------------------------------------------
Seeing Le Jin returning with his troops, his emotions were normal and he didn't feel much disappointed. Cao Cao knew in his heart that this was as expected by Le Jin. After all, he had expected such a situation to lead his troops to attack Xiangyang, so he naturally would not feel any depressed for the time being.
In the central army tent, Cao Cao was really satisfied with his subordinates' status. After all, with such a status, you can better fight the enemy, otherwise you would look like you are in a sluggish way. Then why would you say to attack the city?
Therefore, Cao Cao was not stingy to praise his subordinates, "I feel very comforted to you all in this state."
And everyone talked a few words, just talking about their own advantages and disadvantages and their Liangzhou army. Finally, they all said that they had the confidence to take Xiangyang.
Cao Cao laughed at this time. "Okay, okay! If you are so confident, it is impossible for me to have no confidence. I also believe in you. Let us work together to break Xiangyang!!"
"No! Everything will be fulfilled by the Lord's entrusted!"
Everyone spoke in unison, and Cao Cao was still laughing with his signature. "Hahaha! Hahahaha!"
Everyone understood that their lord was really happy and was still very satisfied with his side, so that's why.
-----------------------------------------------------
In Xiangyang, Zang Ba and Liao Hua were talking about the wars over the past two days together, and then Zang Ba said: "Yuan Jian, this Yanzhou army is indeed worthy of being a powerful army in the world. When I saw it today, it was indeed worthy of its reputation!"
Although he was not hostile, Zang Ba still admired the Yanzhou Army very much. If it weren't for the hostile relationship, Zang Ba might have praised it more. However, due to the relationship, he really didn't say much. If he said too much, it really means "to strengthen others' ambitions and destroy one's own majesty", so Zang Ba still knew it when he clicked.
After hearing this, Liao Hua smiled, "What Xuan Gao said is so much, but I actually think so! The so-called "It is better to meet than to be famous", "It is even more famous to meet", our army has an opponent, and it is the Yanzhou army!"
After hearing this, Zang Ba kept nodding. Isn’t that true? That’s it. Some things still have to be admitted. If you don’t admit them, the facts are in front of you.
Zang Ba said again: "But no matter what, since the lord has entrusted Xiangyang City to you and me, although he did not say that he would defend the city to the death, in order to repay the lord's great kindness, I, Zang Ba, Zang Xuangao, will definitely not let Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army have a better life. I wonder what Yuan Jian thinks?"
-----------------------------------------------------
After hearing Zang Ba's words, Liao Hua smiled, "Xuan Gao underestimated someone. Although he was not talented, he was willing to go with Xuan Gao. Even if he died, he would not refuse!!"
When Zang Ba heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Liao Hua's firm eyes. However, he understood that no matter what, Liao Hua had been in the Liangzhou army for many years. Although he has not really worshipped his lord until now, he has never really admired his lord. But in his heart, he doesn't know what. When he saw him today, he can also "spend his head and shed blood" for his side.
"Okay, happy, happy! Our army has Yuan Jian like this, why should we be afraid of his Yanzhou army?"
Liao Hua laughed loudly, "Xuan Gao didn't know that Xiangyang is also a certain hometown, so he still didn't want the city to fall into the hands of Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army!"
Zang Ba nodded quickly. He really didn't know about this. He had not had much contact with Liao Hua. He quickly said, "So that's it, no wonder, no wonder! No wonder Yuan Jian is so familiar with Xiangyang City, no wonder the lord wanted to leave Yuan Jian to guard the city. Now it seems that there is such a reason in it!"
Liao Hua said to himself that there seems to be no big reason for his lord to leave him behind, but he can't say this. At this time, he can only say: "Xuan Gao is a mistake, a mistake!"
-----------------------------------------------------
For the Yanzhou Army, it was expected, and they were nothing unexpected. For the Liangzhou Army, for Zang Ba and Liao Hua, it would be even more normal for the past two days. But they also realized that the strength of the Yanzhou Army was indeed "a famous soldier" and there was nothing to say. It is indeed not unreasonable that the Yanzhou Army can have such a reputation today.
Le Jin continued to lead troops to attack Xiangyang, and Zang Ba and Liao Hua defended the city, so relatively speaking, it must be less pressure than one person. This is certain. Otherwise, if two people are the same as one person, what's the use of leaving two people? Ma Chao would not be able to do such a futile thing, so...
The Yanzhou army was attacking Xiangyang fiercely. Zang Ba and Liao Hua were also guarding the city. They had to admit that the Yanzhou army was indeed attacking fiercely day by day, and it really allowed them to see a big crisis. It can be said that the pressure they were bearing was indeed getting bigger and bigger day by day. If this continues, it will be of no benefit to our side.
At that time, Taishi Ci defended Xiangyang. With such a strong attack on his side, he could hold on for several days. It can be said that the two of them were not as capable as Taishi Ci. However, if they had to defend Le Jin's attack for a few days, there should be no problem.
At least although they were not as good as Taishi Ci. But he was definitely not Ma Dai and Ma Bozhan, so...
And our side is definitely not the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army, and the Yanzhou Army is not even the soldiers of our side.
-----------------------------------------------------
Le Jin led his troops to face the famous Liangzhou Army. He was still fearless. For him, it was indeed a rare battle with the Liangzhou Army. After all, it was not only the Liangzhou Army that saw the meaning of his lord. Similarly, the generals under the Yanzhou Army also knew some of his lord’s thoughts.
So he knew that being able to attack Xiangyang and fighting the Liangzhou army here was "can be encountered but hard to find". After all, this situation is not something you can definitely encounter when you want to meet, so he still attaches great importance to this attack on Xiangyang.
Although he did not boast about Haikou in front of his lord and colleagues, he said that he would break Xiangyang in a few days. But to be honest, as the main general who led troops to attack the city, Le Jin naturally hoped to break Xiangyang City as soon as possible. This was not that he only wanted to make meritorious contributions, but in fact this was just one of them. He also hoped to see the strength of the Liangzhou army and see where the gap between himself and others was.
Still the same thing, although the generals of the Yanzhou Army almost never admit anything, to be honest, they still think in their hearts that their combat power is still a little worse than the Liangzhou Army. And this gap may be discouraged by one's own side, which is not impossible. As the saying goes, to learn from the strengths and weaknesses, Le Jin naturally wants to learn something useful from the Liangzhou Army. In that case, it may not necessarily promote one's own side.
-----------------------------------------------------
It has to be said that it is not difficult to see that Le Jin is not only self-aware, but also a person who knows how to learn. In fact, if you don’t know how to learn, then how can you make more and more progress? In fact, it is not just Le Jin, but many generals of the Yanzhou Army, including Cao Cao himself, are actually very modest and know how to make progress. Therefore, it is not accidental that the Yanzhou Army can have the current power, and that is inevitable. It is not unreasonable, but very reasonable, isn’t it?
Therefore, the Yanzhou Army can make progress and achieve today's achievements, their attitude is indeed indispensable. It can be said that this is one of their major advantages, and it is not something that all the troops in the world have, so the Yanzhou Army is getting stronger and stronger and is constantly improving.
Le Jin was carrying a knife on his back, then holding the ladder truck with both hands and climbing up quickly. However, because he was the main general who led the troops to attack the city, he was indeed the most greetings. The others were almost in danger, but not that serious. However, for hot oil, both military generals and soldiers were still the most troublesome things. Bu Le Jin was avoiding it once, but he had to know that Zang Ba and Liao Hua would not let him go. As a result, the second time, he couldn't dodge and could only jump off the ladder.
Even if I dodge faster, if I slower, I will definitely be injured. The injury is small, but the key is to delay my side and delay my lord's plan, then I will be guilty. Le Jin can be injured, but he cannot be a sinner of the Yanzhou Army. After all, almost no one hopes that the interests of the entire team will be damaged because of himself. At least Le Jin must be like this. That's what he thought.
-----------------------------------------------------
Looking at Le Jin who was forced back by hot oil, Zang Ba showed a sneer on his lips. He thought to himself, although Le Jin and Le Wenqian had good skills, he admitted this himself. But what can I do? Don’t you still have to be afraid of hot oil? And you still forced yourself to back. Hahaha, no matter how strong you are, you can’t stop the hot oil. What else can you Le Jin for this?
Le Jin, who was under the city, slowed down a little and climbed the ladder again. After all, as the chief general who led the army to attack the city, he must not show any intention of retreating, even if it was unintentional. That would not work. Le Jin led his troops for so many years and fought with Cao Cao for so many years. Naturally, he knew what he could do and what he could not do in front of the soldiers. If he didn't know this, it would be really that Bai had been leading troops in the Yanzhou army for so many years.
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle behind, saw that when Le Jin was forced back by the hot oil poured from the city, Cao Cao felt nervous. For him, Le Jin was definitely his confidant. If he was injured, not only would he have to worry about it, but he would also affect his morale and his progress. Fortunately, at least he avoided the hot oil. It seemed that he had not suffered any injuries. It would be good, and it would be good.
Cao Cao's idea was naturally very clear. For him, how could a Xiangyang be comparable to his confidant general? So if it is really impossible to do anything, then he would rather give up Xiangyang than let all his subordinates hurt him. After all, the city cannot be taken down this time, and there will be a chance in the future. But if his generals die, can he survive?
I have to say that Cao Cao was a "treacherous hero in troubled times", of course he could see clearly. That's right, if he couldn't see this clearly, then he wouldn't be Cao Cao and Mengde, right?
-----------------------------------------------------
Le Jin gritted his teeth and boarded the ladder truck again. As for why he had to grit his teeth, this was his habits. It seemed that he had made up his mind to climb to the city of Xiangyang. Although he didn't have to do this today, Le Jin gritted his teeth, which represented his attitude, that's it.
Zang Ba was always staring at Le Jin, always paying attention to his every move. When he saw him boarding the ladder truck again, he smiled again.
At this time, he pointed to Le Jin's direction and said, "Brothers, let me go to the enemy's chief general!"
As a result, with Zang Ba's order, the wooden stones were rolled in and the stones were all in the process of being in the process of joy. Lejin heard Zang Ba's shouting and saw these things. He thought to himself, it was bitter! As the chief general who led the army to attack the city, he had to pay attention to the enemy's things at all times. If someone was touched without paying attention, he would not die, but he would definitely be injured. After all, how many people's flesh and blood body can compete with wood and stone!
However, Le Jin is experienced. For him, he can naturally avoid the wooden stones, which is an easy and difficult problem. Fortunately, the other party didn't throw too much, so Le Jin still avoided it.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Zang Ba saw Le Jin avoiding it, he thought to himself, it is normal for Le Wenqian to avoid it. If you can't dodge it, that would be wrong.
There was just hot oil burned next to it. Zang Ba ordered the soldiers, "Fallen down at the enemy general!"
"promise!"
As a result, Le Jin once again received very hot and hot oil. He thought to himself that he couldn't get up today, and he jumped off the ladder truck again.
Next to Cao Cao, Xun You, who was also watching the battle, said at this time: "Lord, let's call the gold and withdraw the troops!"
Xun You naturally saw Le Jin's embarrassment, and he also observed his lord. Seeing that his lord had frowned slightly before, he knew that his lord was actually shaken in his heart and had the intention of retreating. But to be honest, he still knew Cao Cao too much, so Xun You knew that his lord would not easily say that he would withdraw his troops today, so he would let him take the initiative to raise it today, so there would be no big problem in this way.
As a result, when Cao Cao heard what Xun You said, he nodded and said, "I agree with what Gongda said! Speak the gold and withdraw the troops!"
"promise!"
The soldiers quickly called out gold, "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding..."
-----------------------------------------------------
For the siege soldiers who were blocked by the siege and were subject to fierce resistance by the defending party, what they most hoped for was naturally to break the city, which was better than anything else. However, more often, they also knew that this was just the most ideal state. It was impossible to break the city guarded by the opponent in one go, so when they were blocked, what they most hoped for was to retreat and rest, and what they wanted most was to hear the sound of their own gold.
As a result, I heard the sound of the sound of the gold on my own side. For the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army, they were relieved. Yes, they were willing to attack so hard. When they had not made any achievements, they would continue to bite the bullet and move up. Like the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army, they were just ordinary people.
At this time, Mingjin withdrew his troops. Xun You's suggestion was quite right. Because for the soldiers of Yanzhou, they had the intention to retreat, so they had to withdraw their troops if they should, otherwise it would be unfavorable to the army.
Le Jin once again took his soldiers back, and this time Cao Cao said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian has done a good job, thank you for your hard work!"
"Master, subordinate..."
Cao Cao laughed and interrupted Le Jin's words. He waved his hand and said, "No need to say much. Let's go back to the camp!"
"promise!"
-----------------------------------------------------
In the big tent, Cao Cao briefly talked about today's war and focused on his own performance. Cao Cao made it clear that, overall today, he was actually satisfied.
"I hope you can continue your efforts and strive to win Xiangyang as soon as possible. This matter depends on Wen Qian!"
Le Jin quickly said, "Promise! My subordinates will live up to the lord's entrusted!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Okay, Wen Qian, don't worry. Xiangyang City will surely be the one in our army!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed. For them, Xiangyang was of course to be taken down, and they also had to shorten the time as much as possible, otherwise it would be very unfavorable to them. In fact, let alone it is for them to be on their own side. For other princes, it is not easy to drag in a certain city or a certain place in Jingzhou for too long, as that would be of no benefit to the entire army.
Cao Cao laughed at this time, "Okay, look at your expressions and status, and ask you again, do you have confidence in taking Xiangyang?"
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
"Okay, it's so magnificent! Hahahahahaha! With everyone like this now, why don't our Yanzhou army worry about destroying this Xiangyang City!"
-----------------------------------------------------
"kill!"
"Run!"
...
This is the fourth time that Le Jin has led his troops to attack Xiangyang. Before, his side was Ming Jin and retreated. Today he thought it clearly, but he hoped to break through the city, and it would be better to capture the Liangzhou army's chief general in Xiangyang again, Zang Ba, Zang Xuangao and Liao Hua and Liao Yuanjian. However, he also knew that it was not easy to capture the head general of the family than to break through the city, so Le Jin did not have much hope for it. And now that the head of the city has not even been able to go up, are you still hoping to capture the people alive? This matter is known, and it is probably a joke.
Seeing the soldiers of Yanzhou soldiers coming in a fierce manner under the leadership of Le Jin, Zang Ba laughed, "Hahaha! Le Jin, Yanzhou Army, you are here well. If you don't let you see the power of our army, you still don't know how 'How many eyes are Prince Ma's?"
After saying that, he and Liao Hua both shouted to the Liangzhou army guards at the top of the city: "Shoot the arrows and shoot!!"
To be continued...
