Chapter 538 Fierce Battle
In fact, the artillery had been tricked by Huang Yueying. At the time of the Battle of Red Cliff, Ailang planned to use artillery. However, because the fire attack was more suitable, the artillery was hidden in the snow but was not really put into use. It was not until this moment that he finally truly boarded the battlefield.
After one round of bombardment of more than 200 artillery, it caused huge damage to the solid camp carefully constructed by Cao Pi, and the damage caused to the Cao army was not very large. However, this terrifying power that was as shocking as thunder and thunder, deeply shocked all the Cao army soldiers! After this round of bombardment of cannons, the Cao army officers and soldiers were already at a loss! Fortunately, the Cao army was not a mob. Although the opponent's new weapons brought them great shock, they did not collapse because of this.
Cao Pi climbed up with the help of the officers and soldiers, looking very embarrassed. It turned out that when the artillery fire was roaring, the officers and soldiers around Cao Pi were shocked to see several black shadows flying straight towards the watchtower where they were. They were shocked and rolled down the watchtower without thinking. Almost at the same time, two black shadows roared to the whistle and smashed the watchtower they were in just now! It was just a little short of that. They were going to be smashed by the terrible power like the watchtower and died on the spot! Although Cao Pi and Sima Yi had escaped this disaster, it would be fun to roll down from such a high watchtower? Both of them had broken their muscles and bones, and their injuries were quite serious. Fortunately, they didn't hit their heads directly, otherwise they would have no life if the neck fractured.
Cao Pi didn't care about the pain, and looked at the scene of the terrible weapon ravaging the camp in the camp, and was shocked. Because he killed his father and murdered Cao Zhi and Cao Chong's two younger brothers, Cao Pi had a ghost in his heart, and subconsciously had an absurd thought: "Is it that God hated him, so he reduced his might to help Lu Bu!?" Thinking of this, he became even more frightened.
Ailang rode on the horse and looked at the effect of the cannon bombardment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "So amazing! Yueying is really not a cover! She actually made up such a powerful gunpowder, which is much more powerful than I expected!" At this time, the generals and Zhuge Mengxue who were immediately beside Ailang looked shocked. Although they had heard of the new weapon of artillery, they did not expect that its power was so powerful and so terrifying!
Seeing that the opponent's camp was blown away, Ailang did not intend to attack. In his opinion, since he had such a powerful weapon in his hand, he had to maximize the power of this weapon. Will it be easy to attack after he bombarded Cao's army and then attacked after he killed Yu Xianyu?
As soon as he thought of this, Ailang turned his head and shouted to the commander: "Transfer the cannon, change the flower bullet and bomb me hard into the Cao army camp!" The commander immediately sent the order. With the cannon commander shouting, the artillery officers and soldiers were busy, and then ignited the medicine on the cannon under the command of the commander. The medicine burned and quickly ignited into the cannon chamber. Then the huge roar like thunder just now sounded loudly again! At the same time, countless artillery shells were shouting.
He flew into the camp with a roar! The Cao army officers and soldiers thought that as they had just happened, they quickly watched the flying shadows scattered and dodged! However, this time after the shells landed on the ground, violent explosions occurred one after another! For a moment, a loud noise like thunder and thunder echoed in the middle of the camp. The close Cao army officers and soldiers were blown away by the powerful shock wave, while the others were panicked, and the entire camp was filled with chaos and horror!
The artillery fire of Lu Bu's army continued to bombard, and the Cao army camp was like a boiling pot, and was fascinated by the artillery fire of Lu Bu's army. However, after the Cao army was constantly under the bombardment of the opponent's artillery fire, they gradually became accustomed to this situation. At the same time, they also found that although the opponent's weapons were powerful, they were not irresistible. The huge wooden raft used to resist the catapult carts could effectively defend against the enemy's bombardment. The Cao army officers and soldiers gradually calmed down from the previous horror and hid behind the wooden raft to avoid the opponent's shells.
Seeing that Ailang did not mean to stop bombarding, Zhuge Mengxue reminded: "Lord, although the artillery power is huge, Cao's army will gradually get used to such continuous bombardment. Instead, we will miss the best opportunity to attack!"
Ailang thought of this and couldn't help but nodded, immediately ordered the artillery to stop bombarding, and then ordered the general Wen Chou to lead 10,000 cavalry into the enemy camp.
The sound of war drums roared, and the mighty general Wen Chou led 10,000 cavalry roaring and rushing out, rushing towards the Cao army camp like a tide. In a blink of an eye, a torrent of cavalry surged into the enemy camp. The Cao army officers and soldiers rushed to resist, but the infantry that failed to form a rigorous front could not resist the impact of the cavalry. In an instant, they were rushing to a scattered cavalry by Lu Bu army and defeated the army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sima Yi urgently ordered the cavalry to fight back. The cavalry of Cao Hong roared and rushed out, and immediately resisted the Lu Bu army's battle.
At this moment, the war drums roared outside the camp, but general Dian Wei led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to rush into the camp from another place, attacking from the flank into the middle of the Cao army. The iron hooves rush, and the infantry rushed out of the cage, like tigers coming out of the cage, which was simply unstoppable! The Cao army's defense line collapsed one after another under the fierce attack of the Lu Bu army, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the entire flank was shaken! Seeing that the situation was critical, Pang De quickly led his subordinates to fight back to the death. After paying a huge price, he barely resisted the fierce attack of the Lu Bu army!
The Lu Bu army attacked fiercely, and the Cao army fought to the death. At dusk, the Lu Bu army finally failed to defeat the Cao army and temporarily stopped attacking and retreated back to the camp. When the Cao army saw that the Lu Bu army stopped attacking, they breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Pi was shocked and looked around and saw that the entire camp was full of corpses. Although they resisted the Lu Bu army's fierce attack, the losses were very huge!
Just when Ailang led his army to attack Gexiang, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were also attacking Fugou. The walls of Fugou County were low and were shaking under the continuous attacks of Cao's army. They were almost unable to hold on in just over two days. At the time of sunset, Cao's army still had no intention of stopping. The army's offensive was as fierce as before, and wave after wave of attacks were like waves that were constantly set off, as if this small city would be flooded at any time! Lu Bu's army tried its best, and the deaths were fought everywhere on the city. Lu Bu's officers and soldiers fell in pools of blood. The remaining Lu Bu's army completely collapsed in the face of this continuous attack wave.
Lu Meng looked at the scene in front of him, was shocked and murmured: "Cao Army is indeed different from other families, and its combat power is so strong! It seems that our army can't stand tonight at all!" His thoughts flashed in his heart, and then he called the commemorative officer to issue a series of orders.
Xiahou Dun was angry when he saw that there were not many soldiers left in Lu Bu's army, but after attacking for a long time, he suffered such heavy losses and was unable to break the city. He immediately asked Xiahou Yuan to lead the army, and he himself led his subordinates to the battlefield to join the ranks of fierce attacks! Xiahou Dun went to the front line in person, and the morale of Cao's army officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more fierce. The huge force frantically collided with the increasingly thin line of defense of Lu Bu's army! An officer of Lu Bu's army suddenly cut down an enemy army, but more enemy troops rushed up. He couldn't help but see
Looking around, he was shocked to find that all his companions around him had fallen down. He was the only one left on this section of the city wall! The corpses were piled up on the top of the city, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were stacked layer by layer, and blood was flowing under the pile of corpses. An officer and soldier still maintained his dying posture, pinching a Cao army soldier with both hands, and the long sword of the Chao army soldier pierced his chest. At this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly flew over, and the officer was immediately caught in the arrow, feeling the power quickly fading, and he couldn't help but kneel down on one knee and fell into the pile of corpses!
The officers and soldiers of Lu Bu tried their best, but the enemy's forces were too strong, and the entire city wall defense line began to collapse.
At this moment, the sound of the Golden Bell, representing the retreating soldiers in the city, suddenly rang out loud, and the remaining officers and soldiers of Lu Bu were retreating to the south. The huge wave of Cao's army suddenly spread across the city wall and broke through the city gate and rushed in!
Lu Bu's army kept retreating and retreating from Fugu, while Cao's army quickly occupied most of the city.
At this moment, a few places on the top of the city suddenly had fires, which were particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Xiahou Dun didn't care too much. He thought it was his officers and soldiers who were fighting and setting fire!
However, the fire head continued to appear and spread rapidly at an unimaginable speed. Not long after, the flames in the city were in a turbulent momentum! Xiahou Dun felt something was wrong. At this time, an officer with smoke on his head and burning fire all over his body rushed to Xiahou Dun and said anxiously: "General, it's not good! The enemy set fires everywhere in the city, and many people were trapped in the flames!" Xiahou Dun was shocked, and then he understood what was going on. He couldn't help but curse: "What a cunning and vicious Lu Meng!" Then he shouted: "I ordered the troops to retreat immediately!" Then he turned his horse and ran away along the way!
After a while, the North City Gate appeared in front of him, but the street in front of the city gate was churning flames. The street they had just passed was completely blocked by the flames! The rolling flames made a terrifying sound, just like a huge demon with fangs and claws was smirking at the Cao army! The officers and soldiers were at a loss and looked at Xiahou Dun together! Xiahou Dun frowned and shouted: "Roar over!" He immediately took off his battle robe and bagged his bag.
After silenced his head and face, he immediately activated his war horse to rush up the street with the rolling flames! Seeing this, the officers and soldiers immediately followed suit, wrapped their battle robes and rushed into the flames! Thousands of officers and soldiers were suddenly submerged in the rolling flames! Thousands of screams suddenly sounded, one after another, and officers and soldiers were burned into fire by the fire and fell on the streets with sad screams! This was like the road to hell!
