I will have a follow-up visit today and take a day off.(2/2)
At this time, dozens of middle-aged women came over, bowed their knees to the Zhen sisters and said, "The servants are here to greet and serve the young lady on the order of the madam. Please get in the car."
Cao Ang's marriage has always been Mrs. Ding's top concern. Now she is finally going to Hebei to meet her bride. Mrs. Ding has already made various arrangements.
The leading woman waved, and a dozen luxurious and tall carriages drove by.
"Please Madam, please get in the car." The woman helped Sister Zhen Jiang onto the carriage shaft. Once inside, the carriage was very spacious, and four people seated there did not feel crowded at all.
And there are several brocade boxes inside.
The woman opened the brocade box, which was full of gold and silver jewelry and festive wedding clothes.
The servant said: "As ordered by the madam, let the young madam try on the jewelry and clothes first. The eldest young master is currently leading an army to go on an expedition. When the young master comes back, he can perform the wedding ceremony with the young madam."
"This dress is so beautiful..." Zhen Mi touched Jifu, which was embroidered with cloud patterns with gold thread, and her eyes widened. "This hairpin is so beautiful, too, and there are so many pendants."
"Mi'er," Zhen Jiang tapped her sister's little hand that was about to move, and then smiled, her beautiful eyes moving, looking forward to her appearance.
The two women who were responsible for serving were stunned at the same time, thinking that there were such stunning beauties in the world.
Only such a woman can be worthy of the eldest son.
"Sister, you smiled, you smiled," Zhen Mi clapped her hands excitedly.
"Have I?" Zhen Jiang touched her cheek, feeling embarrassed.
She was crying all day long for several days, thinking about how to die. Then looking at her eyes, it all seemed like a dream.
She was really looking forward to it now, wanting to see what her future husband would look like and whether, as her sister said, military commanders didn't have a very good temper.
…
Let's talk about Cao Ang. He led an army of 30,000 to attack Luyang City.
Ever since he started fighting, he had always pitted a weak army against a strong enemy. Only this time, the number of soldiers on both sides was equal.
Moreover, under his command was the elite Cao army, which was well-equipped, but under Yang Feng was the Baibo army, a mixture of dragons and snakes.
Furthermore, he has three generals under his command: Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shi Ci. Any one of them can defeat Xu Huang under Yang Feng.
All in all, this is a war of bullying and there is no suspense at all.
That's what he thought from the beginning.
But when they arrived in Luyang, they discovered that Yang Feng had completely occupied the city, and fortified the walls and cleared the fields. He burned all the surrounding houses and robbed all the food. After transporting it into the city, the four gates were tightly closed and the city was fortified to defend it. This was a disadvantage.
Cao Ang had a problem.
Although Cao Ang always adhered to the principle of "attacking the city first", he did not like to send troops to forcibly attack the city.
But now Yang Feng obviously regards Luyang City as his home base. No matter how Cao Ang threatens and induces him, he will not leave the city under any circumstances.
So Cao Ang had no choice but to send troops to attack.
However, Yang Feng had been prepared in advance. He erected many rough logs on the battlements at the top of the city and tied all the people to the rough logs to serve as human shields.
If Cao's army wanted to shoot arrows with their backs raised, they would inevitably hit innocent people. However, the Baibo army defending the city hid in the grooves of the crenellations, ready to fight back at any time against the attacking Cao's army.
After attacking like this for two consecutive days, the city was not moved at all, but Cao's army suffered thousands of losses. This was the first time Cao Ang had encountered this situation since he led the army in the war.
"Stop attacking today," Cao Ang said in the Chinese army's tent, biting the dry skin on his lips and looking in the direction of Luyang City.
Zhao Yun said from the side: "My lord, in siege warfare, it is important to go all out in one go and then fail three times until it is exhausted. We have been attacking for two days in a row. If we stop today, all the manpower and material resources spent in these two days will be in vain."
"The losses in a strong attack are too great, so we have to find another way," Cao Ang said, shaking his head.
Dian Wei said angrily: "But this Yang Feng has become a fool. I'm afraid he won't leave the city anyway. What else can be done?"
"There are always better ways to attack the city," Cao Ang said: "I had sent craftsmen to make a Lugong chariot in Yangliting before, and it will be delivered in two days."
