Under the city of Gwangju.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Countless soldiers and horses under the banner of Cao Jun rushed towards the top of the city of Guangzhou. Both the top of the city and the bottom of the city were densely covered with corpses.
Blood had already stained the walls of Gwangju City red.
The night slowly fell, and the defenders on the top of the city took advantage of the night to repel the enemy's attacks again and again.
"General, do we really have reinforcements?" A lieutenant on the top of the city asked the general next to him. This was the fourth day they had been holding on.
"Yes, there will definitely be, Your Majesty will not give up on us!" The general said with certainty.
I think of him, Hao Shao, who became famous in the first battle in Gwangju, but he didn't expect to come to Gwangju this time.
"Damn Wei Yan!" the lieutenant said bitterly.
"Yeah, this damn Wei Yan!" Hao Shao also said angrily, Hao Shao really couldn't figure out why Wei Yan rebelled.
Wei Yan helped the king defeat Zhang Xiu, beat Liu Bei away, and fought against Sun Ce. It can be said that he can be regarded as the direct line of Liu Mang's army.
It is precisely because of Wei Yan's military exploits that Liu Mang taught Yuzhou to Wei Yan and his Hao Shao.
Hao Shao is good at defending, but not good at attacking cities and villages, so Hao Shao gave up the position of the general of Yuzhou to Wei Yan.
I thought that Wei Yan was in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou must be impenetrable, but I never thought that Wei Yan, the commander-in-chief of Yuzhou, would rebel against His Highness the King of Han and join Cao Cao's command.
Only then did the entire Yangzhou army be caught off guard.
"Mr. Jushou!" Hao Shao thought of a person, the old figure, and the last desolation, and couldn't help but sighed bitterly, "Why bother!"
Jushou committed suicide, because at the beginning when he discovered that Cao Cao's army was doing something, it was Jushou who suggested that Xu Shu, the Minister of Internal Affairs, send troops to fight Cao Cao's army in the Yuzhou generation, and prevent Cao Cao's army from entering the territory of the Yangzhou army, thus giving the army as far away as Yizhou. The protagonist Liu Mang buys time.
It could have been said to be safe, with 50,000 elite Yangzhou troops. It can be said that the border of Chen Bing made Cao Cao restless.
If Cao Cao didn't put out several times the soldiers and horses for defense, then Jushou would be able to invade all parts of Yanzhou at any time.
But who would have thought that Wei Yan, the general of Yuzhou, belonged to Cao Cao.
Cao Jun and Wei Yan were under attack from inside and outside. Yangzhou's soldiers and horses were defeated. If it weren't for General Huang Zhong and Mr. Jushou, they would have turned the tide and won most of the soldiers and horses to retreat.
I'm afraid none of the 50,000 troops will come back.
That's how less than 30,000 soldiers and horses came back. Hao Shao retreated from Yuzhou to Guangzhou in this way.
Now Hao Shao's mission. One is to block the speed of Cao Cao's army's advance, so that Shouchun has sufficient preparations, and the other is to wait for reinforcements.
"Your Majesty, two days, two more days, I can't take it anymore!" Hao Shao looked at the broken city wall of Guangzhou City, and those corpses. Fortunately, the weather is not hot now, otherwise those corpses would definitely die. Stinky.
Countless howls resounded throughout the night, and Hao Shao himself was not able to rest well. He found a convenient place to get dressed and went to sleep.
The sky soon became brighter, and the sun shone down on the earth.
Hao Shao was woken up by shaking, because Cao Cao's army under the city made another move.
"Guangzhou!" Cao Cao looked at the fortified city and the figure holding a telescope on the top of the city.
"Isn't the guard of Guangzhou City called Hao Shao?!" Cao Cao asked a red-faced general beside him.
This person is none other than Wei Yan, Wei Yan lowered his head and said, "It is Hao Shao!"
Wei Yan and Hao Shao set up a team in Yuzhou to compliment Yuzhou. Cao Cao thought that even Wei Yan, the general of Yuzhou, surrendered to him, and the Yangzhou army was nothing to worry about. The main force of the Yangzhou army was also defeated. was taken down.
Ru Yin. Yingshang, Xiacai, and Runan are simply reckless, even if they are diehards. It was also cleaned up by Cao Cao's army.
But I never thought that I would be devastated in such a small city of Gwangju.
His army has been attacking here for four days. Cao Cao has been attacking continuously. There are only 5,000 defenders in the city.
Cao Cao also admired the arrival of the guard, Hao Shao, who was simply a city wall of human flesh.
"Go, ask me a question. Tell this person, if he is willing to surrender, I will treat him like a general!" Cao Cao said very readily.
The general said it very generally, but the governor of one place couldn't escape.
The dissatisfaction in Wei Yan's eyes flashed away. He, Wei Yan, was burdened with the word of betrayal, and gave up so much. Not to mention that the Yangzhou army already regarded Wei Yan as a sworn enemy, even among Cao Cao's army, those generals looked down on him, Wei Yan In the end, he was just a general in the rear, but now Cao Cao has taken this Hao Shao with admiration. General, this official position is not comforting.
But although he is dissatisfied, Wei Yan has no choice but to go all the way to the dark with Cao Cao.
He immediately sent someone forward to recruit Hao Shao, who was shot and killed by Hao Shao as a matter of course.
"Your Majesty, this man will never surrender!" Wei Yan tried to dissuade Cao Cao again.
Hao Shao was a member of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry at the beginning, and was later recommended to Gao Shun by Zhang Liao. Gao Shun felt that this person followed him, so he gave it to Liu Mang.
He became famous in the first battle in Guangzhou because Liu Wei gave him the opportunity, the kindness of knowing him, coupled with his original identity, such a person must be Liu Wei's diehard.
"Okay!" Cao Cao could only nod his head, he was really not reconciled, "Liu Mang's son has so many loyal and righteous men following him! Hey!" Cao Cao was gradually afraid, Liu Mang's Yangzhou In the new army, it's not that Cao Cao has never taken prisoners, but these individuals either died for justice, or they would rather die than surrender, thinking that the Yangzhou Army can take them, and thinking that the Yangzhou Army can finally defeat Cao Cao.
"My lord, why worry? Isn't there General Wei Yan?" An old man beside Cao Cao smiled and said, this person is Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu is a poisoner, but he is also a dogmatic person. Guo Jia hates to meet Cheng Yu the most. In the eyes of people like Cheng Yu, Guo Jia is deviant.
And Wei Yan, a person who betrayed his master, was no longer a thing in Cheng Yu's eyes.
As soon as he said this, Wei Yan was really embarrassed, what is it called General Wei Yan.
"Zhongde?!" Cao Cao warned Cheng Yu first. After that, he comforted Wei Yan, "If there is no Chief Wen, I don't know when I will be able to judge the world. The sacrifice made by Chief Wen is really great!"
These words are different in Cao Cao's mouth. At the beginning, Wei Yan was a traitor, a traitor, but in Cao Cao's words, Wei Yan worked hard for the unification of the world, gave up his personal shame, and suddenly became tall.
"Your Majesty, we can't procrastinate any longer, Guangzhou City should be taken!" Wei Yan clasped his fists at Cao Cao.
"Let me teach you, Chief Wen!" Cao Cao patted Wei Yan on the shoulder and said kindly.
"The last general takes orders!" Wei Yan walked out immediately.
"My lord, is this person really reliable?" Seeing Wei Yan leave, Cheng Yu asked Cao Cao again.
Cheng Yu is also a person who knows how to look. Wei Yan has a traitor at the back of his head. He can even betray Liu Mang, let alone Cao Cao.
"He can't go back to Yangzhou, besides me, is there any place for Wei Yan in this world?" Cao Cao was very calm.
"By the way. Zhongde, has our army delivered food and grass this month?" The most important thing for marching and fighting is food and grass.
It was almost the middle of the month, but the grain and grass still hadn't arrived.
"It hasn't been delivered yet!" Cheng Yu also regained his enthusiasm for work. You must know that Cheng Yu is much older than Cao Cao, but this little old man is full of energy once he enters the working state.
"It hasn't been delivered yet! What is Cao Pi doing!" Cao Cao was a little annoyed. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in this army, and the daily expenses are huge. If there is no food in the camp, how can we get it? Food is simply impossible. Cao Cao wants a complete Yangzhou, but he doesn't want a Yangzhou where there is no one.
Cao Cao was annoyed, but stopped calling Cao Pi's nickname Pi'er.
"My lord, have you forgotten? You taught the young master the food and grass transportation!" Cheng Yu complained about Cao Pi, because Cao Cao had given him Cao Pi's food and grass skills when he set off for the expedition.
It was given to the youngest son Cao Chong, and Cao Chong grabbed a few small tails of Cao Pi people on the supply of grain and grass, which pushed Cao Pi out even more.
The current food and grass are in the hands of Cao Chong.
"Chong'er!" In this way, we can see the closeness, if Cao Pi made a mistake, it would be Cao Pi. And Cao Chong made a mistake, it was still Chong'er.
"Send me someone to urge you! No, no, Zhong De, you go there yourself and help Chong'er with the overall planning!" Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was driving Cao Cao. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Cao Cao was thinking. I am afraid that Cao Cao really had the idea of changing his successor.
Cao Pi! Second son! Although in Cheng Yu's view, Cao Pi has nothing to criticize, no matter how he behaves in the world, or in dealing with government affairs, he is a top ten successor, but the world belongs to Cao Cao after all.
Cao Cao now has the intention of doting on his youngest son. If this youngest son is an incompetent person, that's fine.
But this youngest son is a genius in the true sense. Although he is young, he is proficient in the six arts, and he is not bad at all in other aspects. Cao Pi, you have to know how old Cao Chong is now.
"Hey!" Cheng Yu couldn't say anything more, he could only say that Cao Pi was born at the wrong time, he was unlucky.
It may not be a bad thing for Cao Cao to choose Cao Chong as his successor.
Immediately, Cheng Yu stepped back and left.
The battle in Gwangju was still going on, and Wei Yan under the city took out the Red Clothes Battalion.
All the cannons were facing Guangzhou City. A few days ago, Cao Cao cherished Hao Shao's talent, but today he will not.
A artillery battalion roared, just like Chengdu Mansion, countless shells flew up the city wall and bombarded the city wall.
Wei Yan's tried and tested bombardment destroyed so many cities of Yuzhou's stubborn diehards, but today it failed.
It turns out that Guangzhou City belongs to Yangzhou. After Liu Mang’s industrial park built the cement, the first part was to reinforce Shouchun, and then it was the dam cement project outside Shouchun City, and then there were cities in Yangzhou like Gwangju. Later, there was too much cement, and Liu Mang used him to build roads, which is enough to see that Gwangju is now solid.
Cao Cao used the advantage of numbers before. Hao Shao had no choice but to force it. Now Wei Yan used shells. Although those shells hit the city wall, the city wall was also sunken, but it was not as exaggerated as the Chengdu mansion. , Each shell can only leave a mark on Gwangju City, but it cannot smash them.
Wei Yan took out the cannon, Hao Shao was not surprised but happy, because Hao Shao had waited for this time for too long.
Wei Yan betrayed Liu Mang, and also dispatched an artillery battalion from Yangzhou, which had 3,000 cannons and 50 cannons, and 1,000 cannons and 100 cannons.
If such a heavy weapon was taken outside Shouchun City, it would not be able to withstand the bombardment without restricting the ammunition, even a city made of cement.
Now that Wei Yan has brought out the Red Clothes Camp, Hao Shao smiled. One is that his Gwangju can consume Wei Yan's few shells, and the other is that Hao Shao also has cannons in his hands.
Not 3,000 pieces, but 1,000 cannons, ten or so, all of which were dispatched from Yingshui, Hao Shao has been useless, just to surprise Wei Yan.
"Reload the bombs, target the Red Clothes Battalion!" Hao Shao, who gave this order, felt pain in his heart. The Red Clothes Battalion is the painstaking effort of the Yangzhou Army. Over the years, there are only three battalions that have formed an army.
Now he wants to destroy him by himself.
Boom boom boom, Guangzhou City also let out his roar, and countless flower bombs fell into the red-clothed battalion.
Cao Cao was dumbfounded, but Wei Yan's expression darkened completely.
One hundred cannons battled ten cannons, and the final result was known without guessing. All the forts above the city of Gwangju were silent. Wei Yan himself also suffered a lot of losses. In the confrontation just now, nearly thirty cannons were blown up, including five 3,000-piece cannons.
Wei Yan waved his hand again, and the army moved towards Guangzhou City to hide and kill.
Gwangju City couldn't hold on any longer, and countless Cao Jun rushed into the city.
Hao Shao wanted to die for the country, but was stopped by Xu Chu who rushed into the city.
Xu Chu knocked away the saber in Hao Shao's hand, making Hao Shao's suicide a luxury. Hao Shao looked around with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, it's hard for me to be loyal to you!"
Hao Shao wanted to bite off his tongue, but was beaten unconscious by Xu Chu. Hao Shao was captured, and all five thousand Yangzhou troops in the city were killed.
Cao Cao's army entered Guangzhou City, and the Red Clothes Battalion was damaged. Cao Cao was also very distressed. He knew that these things called cannons were powerful, and even Cao Cao was afraid. If Wei Yan hadn't been recruited by himself, and Wei Yan had a handle in his hand, he might be out of luck. It is he Cao Cao.
Which city under Cao Cao's command can withstand such a bombardment.
The Red Clothes Battalion lost nearly one-third of their strength in the First Battle, not only the cannons were damaged, but even the shells were not enough.
You must know that there is still a Red Clothes Battalion in Shouchun. If you use these cannons to fight against the Red Second Battalion, there is no chance of winning.
After thinking about it, Wei Yan came up with an idea for Cao Cao.
Raid Yangzhou Industrial Zone by surprise. (~^~)
