Chapter 193 Battle
In the tent of Sun Jian's army, Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh: "It's fine if Lu Bu is extremely brave. Unexpectedly, his subordinates are so powerful! Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Dian Wei Taishi Ci, etc.! God is so nice to Lu Bu! What a damn bastard!" Sun Ce nodded with deep feelings and said: "I don't know others, but Zhao Zilong is really powerful. Even if I fight two hundred moves, it's hard to decide the outcome!" Zhou Yu smiled and said nothing.
When Zhou Yu looked, he couldn't help but laugh, "Gongjin wants to say that the courage of a common man is not worth mentioning! This is true, but if both sides are equally wise, the courage of this man is often the key to the outcome!" Zhou Yu felt that Sun Ce was right, and he couldn't help but think, nodded, and clasped his fists at Sun Ce, "Brother Bo Fu said very well, but I am a little narrow-minded and prejudiced!" Sun Ce laughed and waved his hand and said, "You are a wise man. If you have your opinion, it can't be said to be narrow-minded and prejudiced."
Sun Jian asked Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, do you think we can take Hefei?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I already have a clever plan." Sun Jian was overjoyed and asked for details. Zhou Yu carefully told his plan. Sun Jian and everyone present had their eyes bright. Sun Jian couldn't help but slapped his thighs with his palms and praised, "Good plan! In this way, Lu Bu will definitely be defeated, and Huainan will fall into our hands!" Then he asked in confusion: "But why have to wait a few days before taking action? What is this?" Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Lord, there are wise men around Lu Bu. If we don't really attack Hefei, we will be speculated about our methods soon by Jia Xu and others. At that time, we will be insulted!"
Sun Jian suddenly realized, felt that Zhou Yu was very reasonable, and nodded and said, "Okay! Just follow Gongjin's plan!"
Early in the morning two days later, Sun Jian's army approached the city from the east, while Liu Biao's army approached the city from the west. In two days, the two armies rushed to build a large number of cloud ladders and arrow towers and rushing the city cars. The arrow tower ladders stood outside the city like trees in winter. Looking around, it made people feel numb.
Sun Jian immediately looked at the city wall in front of him, and saw soldiers and horses lined up on the city wall, swords and guns, and they were already on the battlefield. At this time, a scout rode his horse to Sun Jian, strangled the horse, turned over, and knelt down and reported, "Lord, Liu Biao's army is ready for attack, but has not launched an attack for a long time. I don't know why." Sun Jian smiled and said, "Explore again." The scout responded, turned over the horse, turned his head and ran towards the distance.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It seems that Cai Mao had the same idea as us." Sun Ce smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's throw bricks and start the attack first." Zhou Yu couldn't help but look at his admiration and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Bo Fu said very well!"
The sound of war drums in Sun Jian's army roared, and the catapult cart roared, and hundreds of stones flew into the sky and fell towards the city wall like a meteor shower. Only a loud crackling sound was heard, and the stones hit the city wall one after another. However, the city wall of Hefei was solid, and the stones hit the city wall did not cause much damage to the city wall. Instead, the stones were all crushed to pieces!
Ten thousand attack troops made a series of shouts, pushing the cloud ladder of the arrow tower, slowly approaching the city wall. Each soldier raised a shield, forming a shield curtain to protect the entire attack troops. Sun Jian's attack troops approached within an arrow from the city wall. Arrows flew from the city wall, as dense as locusts, and hit the shield with a loud tinkling sound, like rain hitting banana leaves. Occasionally, Sun Jian soldiers were caught and fell to the ground, but someone immediately made up the gap. Lu Bu's crossbowmen stopped shooting for only one round. I guess they thought the shooting effect was too poor and I didn't want to waste arrows.
Sun Jian's army approached near the city wall, and the baffles on the arrow tower were put down one after another. The crossbowmen hiding in the arrow tower immediately fired arrows at the Lu Bu army officers and soldiers on the city wall. The arrows danced like locusts, and many Lu Bu army officers and soldiers fell down. The Lu Bu army officers and soldiers were suppressed so that they could hardly raise their heads. The crossbowmen of the Lu Bu army quickly returned with their colors and rushed to the opponent's crossbowmen on the arrow tower. Screams came one after another, and the crossbowmen on the arrow tower fell down the stairs one after another. At this moment, the assault troops under the arrow tower took advantage of the opportunity that the Lu Bu army on the city wall was restrained by the arrow tower and rushed to the city wall and ladders.
Started up and began to climb up and hit the city head! The city car rushed into the city gate at this time and hit the city gate. A large number of other city car crashed into the city walls, with dull sounds. This is a tactic to destroy the city wall. Although the city car seemed to hit the city wall ineffectively, it was not the case. Continuous impacts would sooner or later shake the wall. It would not work for one or two days, but ten days and a half months later, the wall would inevitably be damaged to varying degrees. If you continue to collide or bombard it with a catapult, some weak walls would collapse. When the gap was opened, the army could invade the city.
Cai Mao received the report and learned that Sun Jian's army was attacking the city with great force. He thought that the plan had succeeded, and he couldn't help but feel proud. The opponent's generals said: "The enemy must have been attracted by Sun Jian's army. The enemy in front of us will not be too strong. At this time, we can launch an attack and will definitely break the city in one fell swoop!" When the generals heard this, they immediately felt a sense of admiration.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect that Cai Mao is actually very smart!" Liu Bei glared and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Fei smiled and said nothing more.
The sound of war drums in Liu Biao's army rumbling, and more than 10,000 Liu Biao's army pushed various siege equipment to charge.
Suddenly, the city gate opened wide, and Lu Bu rode a Red Rabbit Horse and led Zhao Yun and thousands of war cavalry out of the city gate with Fang Tian Hua Ji.
Cai Mao was shocked when he saw this and ordered the army to stop attacking and retreat to the army formation. More than 10,000 attacking troops had to throw various siege equipment on the spot and quickly retreated back to the army formation. Although Liu Biao's army was not as elite as Sun Jian's army, he was also a well-trained unit. When the opponent's cavalry was lined up, he had already reorganized the formation. The shield player was in front of the guillotine, and the crossbow player was behind him, waiting for the battle. Zhang Fei couldn't see it anymore and said angrily: "Our general is really a timid!" Liu Bei was stunned and asked inexplicably: "What do you mean?" Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Brother, he thought, his army of more than 100,000, facing the opponent's only thousands of cavalry, actually put on such a serious defensive formation. Isn't it a timid?"
Liu Bei was both funny and angry, shouting, "Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Fei closed his mouth, but had a smile on his face. Cai Mao, who was immediately under the command of the coach, naturally heard Zhang Fei's teasing words. Although he was so angry that he could not get angry.
Seeing Ailang leading a thousand battle cavalry slowly out, he was slowly moving in two horizontal rows. Although the speed was not fast and there was no momentum, his momentum was like a mountain, as if it was calm before the storm, which made people frightened. Cai Mao frowned and cursed in anger: "I want to come to fight for the formation, it is obviously a death!" Then he shouted: "Boundler is ready!" Tens of thousands of crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and arrows to prepare for the launch, waiting for the opponent's combat cavalry to enter the range before they could shoot them.
Zhang Fei suddenly shouted loudly: "Governor Cai, this is Lu Bu's tiger cavalry, it is extremely powerful! I advise you to arrange more shields! Otherwise, once they break through the front, haha, the scene will not look good!"
Cai Mao was furious and shouted: "Zhang Fei, have you defected to Lu Bu? What a bastard!"
Liu Bei hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Grandmaster, although my third brother is rude, these words are from good intentions! This tiger cavalry is an elite trained by Lu Bu himself. He is invincible in many battles, and his men and horses are all covered with heavy armor. It is difficult to enter. It is absolutely impossible to reason! Please ask the Grandmaster to immediately increase the number of spearmen and shield players to prevent them from breaking the formation!" Cai Mao said sarcastically: "I think it is Xuande, you are scared by Lu Bu! Is a mere thousand cavalry worthy of your fear of being so scared?" The generals of Jingzhou burst into laughter.
Liu Bei was about to persuade him again, but at this moment, a loud thunderous sound suddenly came from the front, and the earth seemed to be shaking. Liu Bei was shocked and looked forward quickly, and suddenly saw that Lu Bu had led the tiger cavalry to charge! The iron hooves of a thousand cavalry made the earth tremble continuously, and they came over like an iron tower peak! Cai Mao and Liu Biao's soldiers had never seen such a momentum, and they couldn't help but be frightened!
Seeing that the tiger cavalry entered the range of the crossbow, Cai Mao yelled anxiously: "Shoot the arrow!"
The crossbowmen who had been ready to go fired together, and only heard a loud noise from the old man. The dense arrows flew into the sky to form a dark cloud covering the sun, and the earth seemed to be dark.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds turned into heavy rain and fell towards the tiger cavalry. The momentum was fierce and the scene was amazing. Cai Mao and others originally thought they would see the tragic scene of the other party turning over, but they were shocked to find that the other party's iron cavalry rushed in the rain, and there were only a thousand cold and sharp eyes under the dark iron armor!
Cai Mao and others felt unbelievable, and Cai Mao urgently ordered the crossbowman to: "Shoot again!" The crossbowman quickly loaded and fired again! The dense and violent rain of arrows once again enveloped the opponent's tiger cavalry, but it was raining on thousands of boats, which had no use at all. The thousand cavalry rushed through the dense rain of arrows, as if unstoppable!
At this time, a thousand iron cavalry had already rushed to the front of the Jingzhou army formation! The shield players pulled their lunges to hold back the shields, ready to face the opponent's attack, while the spearmen laid their spears flat and prepared to assassinate the enemy!
