Chapter Thirty-Seven: Deathmatch One
"Be obedient and come back to me!"
Perhaps because of her personality, Miss Guo Cui heard the news that Lu Bu led his army to attack at night. Instead of being afraid, she clamored to watch the battle from the top of the city.
Are you kidding, now is the time to let her lose her temper? You have to know that swords and guns are blind on the battlefield. If something happens to her, how will she explain to Guo Jia?
"I won't go back. I've defended Dongjun City for so many days. Haven't I still not lost it? It can be seen that although Lu Bu's army is large in number, its combat power must be very poor." Guo Cui refused to give in and insisted on guarding the city.
"I haven't seen any war scenes yet. I must see it well this time so that I can brag in front of her when my eldest brother comes back!"
Oh my god! It seems that this little girl really thought that defending the city was an easy task. She didn't see how many soldiers paid the price with their lives for this, and she even naively added credit for the fact that the city didn't fall.
Is it because the enemy is "weak"? Or is it because you are so bad in the eyes of the enemy that you must have taken advantage of the enemy's weak strength to be able to hold on until now?
The little girl even said something about bragging in front of Guo Jia. If your elder brother knew that I asked you to stay on top of the city while Lu Bu's army was attacking the city, he would probably chop me with a sword. Besides, your elder brother
What a person, the military advisor appointed by Cao Cao. Although he doesn’t have to charge into battle himself, he has definitely seen a lot of battles with Cao Cao. Why do you need to brag to him? It’s simply a joke!
"Wang San, take Miss Guo down and keep a close eye on her!" But Gao Shun was not in the mood to argue with Guo Cui now, and directly ordered a soldier beside him.
"Gao Shun, how dare you treat me! Let go, I won't leave!"
"Zhang Gui, go and order the archers to prepare! Boying, lead a hundred people to move the wood! Ni Shen, quickly lead people to bring up the boiling oil that has just been prepared!" At this time, Gao Shun could no longer care.
Guo Cui shouted willfully, but concentrated on arranging the city defense. Anyway, he had given the order for the soldiers to take Guo Cui away, so it was impossible for this girl to stay on the city tower.
Ever since he heard the news of the enemy attack, Gao Shun's demeanor changed suddenly. At this moment, his whole body exuded a resolute, fearless and decisive aura, which made Guo Cui stunned.
"Here, is this guy the big gangster?" Perhaps because he could not accept such a huge change in Gao Shun, or perhaps for other reasons, Guo Cui looked at the general who kept giving instructions to the soldiers around him with confused eyes.
, murmuring in his mouth.
————————————————————————————————————Although there is a torch, it is still somewhat unclear in the dark. But there is nothing
What is doubtful is that at this time, under the Dongjun City, there is a violent current rushing towards the city wall.
Gao Shun was on top of the city tower, looking at the violent flow below the city, and couldn't help but take a breath of air. Lu Bu was working harder than last night. After several days of fierce fighting, Lu Bu's army also had a lot of trouble.
Although the number of combatable troops in his army was still about 22,000, Lu Bu's troops were deployed to attack the city at once tonight. Based on visual inspection in the dark, Gao Shun was sure that there were no less than 20,000 troops.
.
Gao Shun stood at the head of Dongjun City with a very serious expression. Although there has always been a numerical gap between the defenders in the city and Lu Bu's army, in the past when Lu Bu's army attacked the city, they always divided into several teams and launched attacks in batches.
The second time was like tonight, when the entire army came out in one fell swoop. But now there were less than 3,000 defenders in the city, while the enemy army numbered more than 20,000. The disparity in military strength was so huge that one could only be stunned.
"Quick! Invite General Xiahou!" The current situation was obviously beyond his ability to handle alone. Lu Bu had completely lost his patience and decided to make a desperate move tonight.
But in other words, as long as they can survive tonight, no, as long as they can survive this wave of offensive, Lu Bu's army will no longer be able to attack the city, at least in the short term.
But can it really go so smoothly? This is undoubtedly a big gamble, both for Lu Bu's army and Cao's army. The offensive and defensive battle in Dongjun has been going on for a long time, and the city wall is no longer as strong as before. Lu Bu is here
At that time, he devoted all his strength to conquer Dongjun in one fell swoop. If he succeeded, he would gain Yanzhou; if he failed, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Xiahou Dun hurried to the city tower and led his troops to the top of the city. Looking at the wild current surging under the city in the dark night, his heart kept beating.
"Is that guy Lu Bu crazy?" Xiahou Dun cursed angrily.
"I don't know if he is crazy or not, but if he really decides to attack the city with all his troops, I'm afraid we will go crazy." Gao Shun could only respond to Xiahou Dun's words with a wry smile.
"Advance - attack -!" Lu Bu raised his Fangtian painted halberd and pointed at the Dongjun city wall in front of him. Under the illumination of the surrounding torches, his face looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Generally speaking, few generals would choose to attack a city head-on at night. Because of the extremely poor sight lines, attacking a city at night is several times more difficult and dangerous than attacking a city during the day. You can't expect soldiers to hold torches in one hand.
And then climbed the ladder with one hand? Although the defenders on the city couldn't see it clearly, even if they just closed their eyes and randomly drew their bows and shot at the bottom of the city, there would always be a few arrows that could be inserted into the enemy.
On the military.
However, Lu Bu had no choice. He received a tip yesterday that Cao Cao's returning army had entered Yanzhou and recovered several cities. According to the estimated speed of their advance, they might be able to reach Puyang City tomorrow. If they fail to capture it tonight
Dongjun, he must consider leading his troops to withdraw into Puyang. Otherwise, once Puyang is lost and he is alone in the wilderness, then Cao Cao's army and the Dongjun garrison will become a corner attack, and the entire army will really die.
There is no burial place.
Countless ladders were set up on the city wall of Dongjun, and Lu Bu's army began a difficult siege. Cao's army on the city also did not dare to relax at all, and wooden and rolling stones were thrown down the city wall one after another.
Although after several days of defensive battles, the number of Lamu and Rolling Stones was huge, but fortunately Gao Shun had made sufficient preparations in advance, so the city's savings were still sufficient.
But even after repelling groups of soldiers, Lu Bu's army continued to attack the walls of Dongjun City desperately.
"The first person to climb the city will be promoted to five levels, given twenty gold, and made a lord!" Lu Bu looked like he was crazy, roaring at the highest volume he could.
"The first person to climb the city will be promoted to five levels, given twenty gold, and made a marquis!" The soldiers around Lu Bu also shouted with all their strength and screamed at the top of their lungs.
Shouts floated in the night sky, spreading Lu Bu's orders throughout the entire army. Encouraged by such a generous reward, the three armies were greatly excited! Even some of the soldiers at the front had their eyes shining with blazing light.
