Chapter 294 (2/2)
At this time, almost all the 3000 cavalry knew the identity of Chen Yang. The aura of Chen Ren, Chen Yang's father, was enough to make these cavalry swear to follow Chen Yang. Just now Chen Yang led them to defeat the enemy army with less than one. Even if Chen Yang wanted to take them to Yanzhou, I'm afraid they would not frown. Three thousand cavalry said in one voice: ”I'd like to follow the general around you!”
”Good! It is worthy of being a good man of Soochow! ” Chen Yang praised, raised his spear, pointed to the north of the city, and yelled: ”follow me!” After that, he took a group of cavalry to the north of the city after the fleeing Cao soldiers.
At this time, in the north of the city, Zhang Liao was calmly commanding the army to attack the city wall in turn. When he attacked the city wall for the first time, Zhang Liao was also shocked by Bao Bao's strange way of guarding the city. It is said that sun CE was good at attacking and Bao Bao was good at defending. It seems that Bao Bao didn't show all his strength in the attack half a month ago!
However, this discovery did not affect Zhang Liao's mind. In his opinion, no matter how good the skills of guarding the city are, they can't defeat the absolute strength, and the martial arts skills of ”one strength and one hundred skills” can also be applied to combat. This time, Cao Ren decided to launch a forced attack, that is, he wanted to take Xiaopei city at all costs. Therefore, Zhang Liao didn't care about the loss of soldiers. He directly consumed Baobao's garrison with his soldiers' lives. If he failed, he immediately returned and waited until the attack at the head of the city stopped and attacked again! Zhang Liao had heard of Chen Ren's defense of Yuzhang, but Zhang Liao didn't think Bao Bao could keep Xiaopei like Chen Ren.First of all, there was no need to worry about the abundance of grain and grass and the equipment for guarding the city. But now Xiaopei city is not the same. Maybe their estimation of grain storage in Xiaopei city was wrong, but Zhang Liao didn't believe that with such a large consumption of 100000 people, Xiaopei city could consume for a long time! Secondly, Cao's army was different from the mountain Yue soldiers who attacked Yuzhang in those years. The mountain Yue soldiers were suitable for fighting in the mountains. Even if they were able to fight head-on on on the plain, the mountain Yue army would be inferior to the level of the soldiers, let alone attack the city without any siege equipment. But now Cao's army is different. In the past three days, Cao's army has not been waiting. Many ladders and chongche have been built. But now Zhang Liao only sent a ladder, but he did not send a powerful weapon to attack the city gate. But when it was necessary, Zhang Liao would surely send Chong Che to the gate of Xiaopei city for a final blow.
The third and most important point is that Bao Bao is not Chen Ren, the first general in the world! No matter how many skills Bao Bao learned from Chen Ren, Bao Bao is Bao Bao, and he is doomed to be a commander-in-chief like Chen Ren. If Chen Ren was guarding the city at this time, and if Cao's troops were not more than ten times his strength, Zhang Liao would immediately propose to withdraw his troops. This is because Chen Ren is now the invincible God of war in the Dongwu army. With him, the Dongwu army can often produce several times the combat effectiveness, just as Lv Bu did to the Bingzhou army.
It is because of the above three points that Zhang Liao did not succeed in striking the city wall several times, but he was not in a hurry. If the trend goes on, Zhang Liao is confident that he will break Xiaopei city before dark today!
Just as Zhang Liao was about to withdraw the team in front of him, he suddenly felt something was wrong, because on the head of Xiaopei city in front of him, the high hanging military flag of ”Bao” was slowly lowered. Zhang Liao was puzzled. Was Bao Bao ready to surrender? Right? If you want to surrender, you should also lower the flag of Soochow! When Zhang Liao was in doubt, a round thing began to hang up at the head of the city. Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and could not see clearly what it was. At this time, Zhang Liao was thinking, if only Xu Huang, the general under Yang Feng, was there. The guy's eyesight must be able to see what the round thing was.
When he was guessing, he saw that the teams in front of him retreated back one after another. Zhang Liao was stunned. He didn't give the order to retreat. Why did this team retreat? Zhang Liao coldly hum, although Zhang Liao had intended to change this team to come back, but their own back that meaning is different, this is clearly against the military order! Immediately, Zhang Liao ordered the team leader to be arrested.
After a while, I saw two of Zhang Liao's relatives escorting a strong general to the front of him, and rushed to Zhang Liao. The two soldiers raised their legs and pressed the general's lower leg. They knelt down in front of Zhang Liao, followed by two close soldiers. One of them grabbed the general's arm and twisted it. The other hand pressed the general's head and pressed it to the ground. Zhang Liao first sent the next team that had been prepared, and then rushed to the city wall. Then he snorted coldly and asked, ”how dare you! How dare you withdraw without permission
”General! general! Wronged! It's wrong The general's whole face was pressed into the earth on the ground, and even ate several mouthfuls of mud. As soon as he heard Zhang Liao's cold talk, he turned his head and cried desperately. However, his face had been pressed to the ground and was deformed. Even his speech was not clear.
”Wronged?” Zhang Liao snorted coldly and asked with a cold look on his face: ”tell me, how did I wrong you? Did I order the withdrawal? Have I given power to withdraw? ” After asking, Zhang Liao also motioned to the two soldiers to release the general.
The general finally sat upright, but gave him a hundred courage and did not dare to stand up and said, ”general! It's not that I ordered the troops to withdraw, but the soldiers who saw the scene were out of control and ran back on their own! ” It seems that in order to cooperate with the general, the soldiers of the team just sent by Zhang Liao also retreated in a panic. Only under the strong suppression of the team leader, they began to attack the wall again.
