Seeing that although Cao Jun retreated, it was retreating but not chaotic, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, although Liu Bei had the intention to pursue, he also knew that it might not be good to launch rashly at this moment, so he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops at the same time.
Looking at the relieved soldiers, Liu Bei couldn't help but be helpless, although his own troops are not weak Cao Cao, but the soldiers in the army, except for the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses brought by their three brothers, the rest are all rabble, unbearable to fight, Cao Jun just relied on the momentum, so that his own soldiers felt oppressed, if the war really started, Liu Bei did not know what his chances of winning.
After General Guan Zhang's second general returned to the battle, he withdrew to Changyi with his soldiers and horses.
In the evening, Liu Bei summoned Guan Zhang and Chen Gong to discuss matters.
"Although the Cao army has temporarily retreated, but the Cao army is elite, our army has just begun, and it cannot be compared to the enemy, I don't know what good strategy Mr. has to break the enemy" Liu Bei sat on the main seat and looked at Chen Gong.
Tomorrow Cao Jun will come again, he will not fight with him again, although today seems to have won a while, but the next battle will be difficult to fight.
This battle completely wiped out the bit of complacency and pride that Liu Bei had just raised, and compared with Cao Cao's army of a hundred battles, he was still a lot behind.
Chen Gong bowed slightly, he was very satisfied that Liu Bei was able to recognize his own shortcomings in time, and after hearing the words, he shook his head and said: "Now that Cao's army is strong, our army should temporarily avoid the edge and defend the city."
"Just defending the city, it will inevitably lose its own prestige" Zhang Fei heard this, and immediately said a little dissatisfied.
When Chen Gong heard this, he smiled helplessly and said: "Our army is new, the soldiers have never been battled, and they lack tacit understanding, once they start a war outside the city, they will definitely not be the opponent of Cao's army." ” Zhang Fei was a little helpless when he heard this, but he also knew that this was the truth, whether it was Guan Yu or him Zhang Fei, it was really not very pleasing to the eyes of the soldiers under his command now. really pulled to the battlefield to fight against the experienced Cao army, it is estimated that a charge can crush them, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really have the courage of ten thousand people, they can't save it.
"For today's plan, only according to the city and defend, let the soldiers take turns to defend the city, adapt to the battlefield, to fight the war, when the Cao army is exhausted, our soldiers can withstand the battlefield, and then fight against the Cao army, at the same time, the lord also needs to quickly stabilize the rear, appease the people, only the rear is stable, our army can have no worries, go all out in the decisive battle of Cao Cao" Chen Gong thought for a while: "In addition, you can also write to Wen Jugong, please Wen Jugong send troops to attack the rear of the Cao army, Tao Qian's side, the lord can also contact him more." ” Early the next morning, Cao Cao waved his army to the city, after a night of repair, morale recovered a lot, this time, Cao Cao did not call Liu Bei again, but directly waved troops to attack the city.
In order to be able to fight quickly, Cao Cao made great efforts this time, and as soon as the war started, he pushed out the well fence.
This well fence is as high as more than three zhang, higher than the city wall of Changyi City, this thing is out, Liu Beijun's advantage of the city wall is suddenly gone, more than a dozen well railings, each of them, are carrying more than a dozen archers, more than 30 wrestlers under the protection of the shield soldiers, pushing the well fence, slowly approaching Changyi City.
On the city wall, Liu Bei looked at the well fence that was slowly approaching, his face became a little difficult to see, and before he entered the firing range, the archers arranged on the well fence had already begun to pour arrows at Liu Bei's soldiers at the head of the city.
"Projectile" had the colonel's poignant command, and a rain of arrows broke through the air and swept towards the well railing, but was blocked by the baffle above the well railing, and most of the falling arrow rain was also blocked by the shield below.
"Poof" The cold arrow cluster passed through the gap in the shield, and a wrestler was pierced through the chest by the arrow cluster, screaming and falling to the ground, and immediately a wrestler hiding under the shield stepped forward to take over, protecting the wrestler to push the well fence and continue to move forward.
The well fence stopped in the direction of fifty steps away from the city wall, condescendingly, pouring arrows on the city wall, the army approached the moat, a group of Cao soldiers rushed forward with the protection of the cloud ladder shield, and set up a wooden ladder on the moat, and then the soldiers quickly carried the cloud ladder to rush through the moat, which was the blind spot of the archer.
Someone put the ladder behind him, more than a dozen soldiers carried the ladder to charge, the person in front of him took advantage of the power of the ladder, galloped on the city wall, the knife was already in hand, at the moment of emerging from the female wall, a fierce face flew to the enemy who could be seen in front of him, the war knife in his hand fiercely cut off the enemy's head, followed by four or five spears through the body, roaring and being pushed down from the city wall by a group of people, smashing over the warriors on the ladder.
But immediately after, there have been people who have been erected from the top of the ladder that has been built, with a cold war knife in their mouths, as soon as they appeared, they pounced fiercely, Liu Bei and Zhang Xia are just a group of recruits who have not been in the battle formation, where have they seen such a battle, many people were directly frightened to the point that their legs were weak, if it weren't for Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and constantly rushed to rescue with a rain of arrows on the city wall, I am afraid that this battle would not take long to end.
The first batch of soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties and were quickly replaced, the second group of soldiers had come up and continued to fight, Cao Jun rushed up one after another like an ant tide, and was repelled by wave after wave, and the defenders of the city were also replaced by wave after wave, Liu Bei was hit by an arrow in his back, but he still waved the double-strand sword in his hand with a fierce face, and took the surrounding soldiers to repel the Cao army that rushed up again and again.
"Lord, that well fence is too powerful, if it goes on like this, our army's archers will almost become ornaments" Chen Gong rushed to Liu Bei's side in the rain of arrows, and helped Liu Bei cut off the cluster of arrows on his back with his sword, and said urgently.
Liu Bei took a breath, slashed a Cao Jun with a sword, looked up at the well fence that was higher than the city wall, and felt ruthless, there was a partition on the well fence to protect it, and the arrow clusters on their side could not be shot through at all, although there were not many archers in the well fence, but they could unscrupulously pour arrow clusters towards the city wall, and they were condescending, and the accuracy was more than a little higher than them, even if someone could occasionally shoot the archers in the well fence, it was a drop in the bucket, and it was not enough to affect the overall situation.
With a move in his heart, Liu Bei turned his head and said, "I remember that there are more than a dozen trebuchets in the treasury of Nafu. ” "The trebuchet is powerful, but it's not accurate enough to hit."
Chen Gong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Then more than a dozen units will aim at a well fence together" Zhang Fei, who rushed over, blurted out without thinking, and after speaking, he had already brandished a snake spear and rushed to the other side.
When Chen Gong heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Bei, but when he saw Liu Bei nodding slightly, he immediately responded to the order and rushed away.
The war is still going on, and the trebuchet is not as cumbersome as the catapult, but it will take at least half an hour to move to the city wall, and during this time, Liu Bei can only continue to fight desperately against the rain of arrows on the well fence.
In Cao's army, seeing that Jinglan had completely suppressed the opponent's defenders, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Liu Bei was famous for breaking the yellow scarf in his early years, and now it seems that this is the case, although Guan Zhang is brave, he is only a brave man, and he is not afraid, this battle is fixed."
When the surrounding generals heard this, they couldn't help but say yes, not to mention the gap in the quality of the soldiers on both sides, just looking at Liu Bei defending the city for a few times, they knew that although Liu Bei was famous, he actually did not command a real battle, and anyone present could do better than Liu Bei if he changed places.
"It's not that Liu Bei is too weak, but our army is too strong" Xiahou on the side said with a smile, he was beaten by that Zhang Fei yesterday, and he was a little tired at the moment, before he saw Zhang Fei's figure swaying on the city wall, without the slightest sense of exhaustion, and couldn't help but scold the freak.
"Boom" Just when Cao Cao was talking and laughing with the generals here, there was a sudden roar in the distance, Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look, but didn't see anything abnormal, and was about to ask, but his eyes stopped.
In sight, I saw that more than a dozen stone bullets were suddenly thrown from the top of the city, and they were thrown towards a well fence.
"Bang Bang Bang" I only heard a series of chaotic sounds, although I failed to hit the well fence, but around the well fence, it was a mess, more than a dozen stone bullets of thirty or forty catties were knocked down together, as long as it touched, not to mention ordinary soldiers, it was Dian Wei, Zhang Fei If this kind of freak was hit, it had to be finished, and the solid wooden shield that could block the arrow cluster looked fragile under the stone bullet, some were directly smashed and smashed, and some were not broken, but the soldiers under the shield were shocked to death by the huge impact brought by the sky from the sky.
More than a dozen stone bullets, the damage caused is actually only dozens of casualties, that is because of the dense crowd near the well fence, otherwise, I am afraid that there is not even this casualty, but the shock and morale blow brought by it is more terrifying than the damage it itself brings, and the feeling that any resistance is pale and powerless makes people desperate.
Soon, another wave of stone bullets was thrown, this time, there were three stone bullets smashed on the well railing, in Cao Cao and a group of Cao army generals Tie Qing's face, the well fence in an exclamation, shook a few times, and then with a burst of cheers on the city wall, fell down, a roar, many Cao soldiers who could not dodge were silent in an instant, and the archers on the well fence were naturally not spared.
"Continue to attack" Cao Cao's face sank and he said in a deep voice.
The desolate sound of trumpets and the fierce sound of war drums became louder, and the offensive of Cao's army became more ferocious, while the well railings in front became fewer and fewer, and Liu Beijun's resistance became more and more fierce.
At first, Cao's army could continue to rush up the city wall, but with the scrapping of the well fences, the resistance to Cao's offensive increased more and more, and the battle lasted from morning to sunset, and when Cao Cao took out dozens of well railings was already half missing, Cao Cao finally ordered Mingjin.
On the city wall, watching Cao Jun retreat like a tide, Liu Bei gasped fiercely, sat down on the ground without any image, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side fought for a day, although they were not injured, but they were also tired.
"We won" Liu Bei raised his hand a little weakly, but he pulled the wound, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
The dazed soldiers finally reacted and let out a loud cheer. t1706231537:
