Chapter 769: The City Gate is destroyed


The battle between Ran Min and Yue Yun and Xue Kui ended after more than two hundred battles, and this battle was ultimately won by Ran Min.

As for the battle between Yan Chengfang and Yue Sheng, it was also over, originally Yue Sheng was better in terms of their respective strengths, but Yue Sheng experienced the battle with Ran Min, and his physical strength was damaged and injured.

The two of them ended before the battle between Yue Yun, Xue Kui, and Ran Min ended, and it was also a tiebreaker.

The battle between the armies didn't take place, and the reason was probably because of the fighting generals.

At the end of the day, Xu Da's camp began to act, and tens of thousands of people took advantage of the night to approach Juyang City.

And along the way, this army of 10,000 people did not light the torches at all, and slowly approached Juyang City completely by moonlight and starlight.

By the time they came to the outside of Juyang City, it was already sub-hour, and the night was thicker and quieter.

"Light the torches and take the siege" With a call to the word, more and more torches appeared.

"Kill" They pushed the ladder cart and rushed towards Juyang City with the ladder on their shoulders, and the arrows shot wildly towards Juyang City.

The soldiers of the Cao army, who had just fallen asleep on the city tower, were suddenly woken up, although they were a little guarded, but they did not expect the enemy to attack the city at this time.

However, the Cao army was on guard after all, and they quickly organized a defense, and the arrows of both sides attacked, and the thunder stones and rolling logs were also thrown down.

Cao Zhang and the generals in the city were also woken up, and they went to the city one after another to organize soldiers to defend the city.

The battle had been going on for a while, and there were hundreds of injuries on both sides, but fortunately it was night, and most of them were only wounded, not directly killed.

"It's strange why none of them attacked the city gates."

Cao Zhang at the head of the city was a little puzzled, because often when attacking the city, the city gate was taken care of, but until now he has not heard the sound of hitting the city gate, nor has he heard any movement.

"Send someone to look at the city gates, there must be no problems with the city gates."

Cao Zhang instructed the generals around him.

"No" What Cao Zhang didn't know was that the city gate, which he thought was safe and sound, was already full of oil at this time, and there were piles of firewood outside.

Time flies, another incense time has passed, the two sides of the battle are still very fierce, but until this time still no one rushed to the city, the Cao army defended extremely well, and the losses of the siege army have faintly exceeded the losses of the defending soldiers and horses.

Wow Suddenly, there was a change at the gate of the city, and the blinding light of the fire was amazing.

Even the people who lit the fire at the gate of the city jumped down, and even two of them were on fire.

Because the fire came so fast, so fast, so terrible, not only fast but also great.

As the saying goes, dry firewood is fierce, not to mention that there is oil on these dry firewood, and in just an instant, the firewood outside the city gate was ignited, and the city gate was also lit.

The fire was raging and becoming more and more terrifying, and it didn't take long for the soldiers guarding the city walls above the city gate to feel the burning sensation.

The soldiers who were attacking the city wall near the city gate immediately dodged away and abandoned the area.

"Fight the fire, put out the fire" Looking at the huge firelight, Cao Zhang immediately shouted.

Needless to say, there are people who do it, and the fastest reaction is of course the Cao army soldiers guarding behind the city gate.

Originally, they had heard the movement outside the city gate a long time ago, and although they didn't know what was going on outside, they also knew that it had something to do with breaking the city gate.

But there was no way, they couldn't open the gates and rush out to figure out the situation.

When the fire broke out, they reacted instantly, some brought water, and some used other things to extinguish the fire.

But this fire is not a little water can be extinguished at all, this fire is too big, and the power of dry firewood is too great.

It didn't take long for the soldiers behind the city gates to hear the crunching sound.

There is no doubt that this is the sound of the city gates being burned, and how long has it been.

Buckets of water were poured on it, but it didn't have much impact on the fire.

An hour later, the besieging army retreated, because the besieging army not only did not take the city at this hour, but suffered a lot of losses, and of course the loss of the defending army was not small.

"Go to the gates" Because he had to defend the city, Cao Zhang could go to the city gate at this time, and when he came to the city gate, it was already crowded with people, and buckets of water were poured on the city gate, and the fire at the city gate had almost been extinguished.

After a stick of incense, The fire at the gates is finally gone, let alone sparks, not even smoke.

However, after an hour of fire erosion of these two two-zhang high, the thousand-pound city gate has been burned to the point of complete disappearance.

There is a piece missing, a piece is missing, all of them are scorched, there is no intact place at all, it can be said that this city gate has been destroyed, as long as it is lightly bumped, this city gate will also collapse.

This city gate can no longer bring security to Juyang City, and it cannot withstand the enemy's attack.

"Come, pull down all the people who are guarding the city gate tonight and behead them."

Looking at the dilapidated city gate, Cao Zhang was furious, and he directly ordered the beheading of those who guarded the city gate.

"Don't, the general spares his life."

"It's none of our business for the general to spare his life."

"We don't want to, the general will let us go."

When Cao Zhang's voice fell, more than a dozen people in the crowd knelt down one after another and begged Cao Zhang for mercy.

However, Cao Zhang is a soft-hearted person, he didn't care about these people's begging for mercy at all, but felt that these people's begging for mercy helped him, at least don't take the time to find it.

"Drag it down, cut it off" Cao Zhang shouted, Soon these people were dragged down, and they kept begging for mercy, but to no avail, and they were still dead.

"The city gate is destroyed, as soon as Xu Da's army arrives tomorrow, this city gate can't stop them at all, what do you say to do?"

Looking at these generals around him, Cao Zhang asked angrily, although he killed more than a dozen people to vent some of his anger, Cao Zhang's heart was still very angry.

The destruction of the city gate was a major blow to Juyang and for him, especially since the destruction of the city gate still happened under his nose, which was the most unacceptable to him.

"This" "This" Several generals were at a loss and had no choice.

"It's all a bunch of waste" When Cao Zhang saw this scene, he immediately became angry and scolded everyone.

"Childe, my subordinates have an idea that I don't know if I should say or not."

A military general said hesitantly.

"If you have anything to say, then say, if the plan is good, this son will definitely reward him."

Cao Zhang immediately said, and even had some expectations for this general.

"Childe knows about the Battle of Guiyang," the general asked.

"My son naturally knows" Cao Zhang nodded, because of Xiang Yu, Cao Cao can be said to attach great importance to Xiang's situation, and Cao Cao sent someone to check every battle of Xiang's family, and he checked it very carefully, of course Cao Zhang knew it.

"The last general knows that he doesn't know as well as Gongzi, but the last general knows that the gate of Guiyang County was broken in that battle, but Xiang Yu guarded the city gate with a unique method."

Wu will continue.

"Xiang Yu used the corpse as an obstacle, used the corpse and the city gate to resist the attack of the Jingzhou army, and let the Jingzhou army lose hundreds of people at the city gate."

Cao Zhang nodded.

"In the same way, our army can also use the obstacles at the city gate to make a fuss."

"You want us to be like Xiang Yu, use obstacles to delay Xu Da's army and then soldiers to guard the city gate, but we don't have the same fierce generals as Xiang Yu, and the fierce generals under Xu Da are not something we can stop."

Cao Zhang said unhappily, but he didn't get angry, because this person did think of a way, although this method was not good.

"Childe, I think it's better to use sundries, stones, and clods of soil to completely block the city gate."

At this time, another military general spoke, "How can we get out if the city gate is blocked," Cao Zhang reprimanded.

"There are four gates in Juyang City, and Yan can go out to the other three gates, and with the current situation of our army, except for the retreats and reinforcements, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of the city."

"Rather than leaving a destroyed city gate for the enemy army, it is better to block it to the end general, and then Xu Da's army can only attack the three gates, or can only attack the city wall."

The general explained, "Reasonable, reasonable" After pondering carefully, Cao Zhang laughed.

"Just according to your method, you will arrange it at several levels," Cao Cao commanded with a smile.

"No" The military general was also overjoyed :
