Hoo ho ho!
咴咴咴!
The torch fell on the back of the war horse, and the fire ignited instantly. The war horse was in pain, neighing continuously, jumped up suddenly, and rushed left and right in the crowd.
The surrounding Cao soldiers were knocked upside down and fled in all directions.
The most important thing is that the fire burning on the war horse began to go crazy and ran wildly among the crowd.
Li Dian jumped up from his horse. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the horse had already rushed from behind and bumped into the soldiers behind him.
The speed of the war horse was so powerful that the soldier screamed when he was hit and flew straight back.
Snapped!
Li Dian was hit by a soldier and felt a huge force coming from him. He staggered twice and fell to the ground at the same time as the soldier.
The scene was chaotic. Countless soldiers were frightened and ran away when they saw the burning horses galloping away.
Li Dian, who was knocked to the ground, was immediately stepped on by countless stinky feet, which made him scream in pain.
When Li Dian reluctantly got up, his eyes were blackened after being stepped on, and even his face had many small wounds scratched by stones.
Countless bricks flew out from the two walls, and Cao's soldiers screamed and fled in all directions.
"Run quickly, I can't stop you!"
"People in front of you, run away!"
"It's over. If you don't run away, everything will be over."
…
Xiahou Dun, who was standing outside watching the battle, saw the soldiers rushing in. Not long after, they were beaten again and screamed. They all retreated and became furious.
"Go and tell them not to retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
At this moment, a general with a face full of wounds ran back, breathing heavily.
"General Xiahou, you can't fight, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated."
Hearing this man's voice, Xiahou Dun looked at it and was surprised. "General Li, is that you?"
Li Dian nodded, "General Xiahou, Lu Bujun is too cunning. If we continue to fight like this, we will be the ones who suffer."
Man Chong frowned when he saw Li Dian's embarrassed appearance, "General Xiahou, let's set up camp and discuss a solution. It's not too late to attack!"
Han Meng on the side nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Lu Bujun is too cunning. If we attack like this, we will really suffer a loss. We still have to find a way."
Xiahou Dun looked at the miserable appearance of the retreating soldiers and snorted coldly, "In that case, withdraw your troops and set up camp."
Following Xiahou Dun's order, Cao Jun's soldiers immediately retreated and chose a flat place to set up camp.
Returning to the military camp, Xiahou Dun immediately called everyone together to discuss a solution.
Han Meng took the lead and explained the failure in detail, "Lü Bujun was too cunning, the alley was too narrow, and the wall was high. If we rushed in, we would be like targets for Lu Bujun, and we could only be beaten passively."
Li Dian sighed, "In addition to those red stones, they will also throw some kerosene. We are more dangerous. We still have to find a way to crack these before we can attack them."
Everyone was surprised when they heard these words, and they were secretly glad that they had not charged in just now, otherwise, they would be the unlucky ones.
Li Dian and Han Meng are both powerful generals in the army. If they have suffered so much, others will definitely not be spared either.
When Xiahou Dun heard the two men's detailed explanations, his brows furrowed more and more tightly. He looked around at the people in front of him and said slowly, "Do you guys have any ideas to defeat the enemy?"
Everyone laughed bitterly when they heard this, but no one came forward to answer.
Han Meng stepped forward and said, "General Xiahou, since they are hiding inside and can't come out, why not wait until tomorrow when our army comes out together. With so many people, I don't believe we can't get through."
Hearing this, Li Dian waved his hand hurriedly, "General Han, if we rely on the number of people to force our way through, we may be able to get through, but we will definitely suffer heavy losses.
This is just the outskirts of Xiaopei. If we are here, we will suffer heavy losses. When we get to Xiaopei, how can we have enough troops to attack? "
Xiahou Dun nodded, "General Li is right. Our army really shouldn't lose too much. We still have to find a way to get through."
After hearing what everyone said, Man Chong frowned and said, "According to what the two generals said, these houses built by Lu Bu are like Wengcheng in the city. As long as our army enters, it is too passive. We really need to find a way." OK."
In many large cities, in order to strengthen defense, urns, that is, two city gates, will be built.
Even if the enemy breaks through the first city gate, after entering the city gate, there will be a long passage before reaching the second city gate.
When the enemy rushes into the first city gate, they will become the target of the soldiers on the two separate city walls. They are the kind that can only be beaten but cannot resist. It can be said that the stakes are extremely high.
Li Dian nodded, "Man Zhengzheng is right, it is true. It is not easy to attack in a straight line."
At this point, Li Dian paused, remembering the situation in the passage, and said slowly, "If we want to break this defense, we can only use step-by-step methods to eliminate the enemies in the house one by one. Only then can we possibly use Rush through with minimal losses.”
Han Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "General Li, there are too many red stones in the passage. Even if we want to clear out the enemy, we will probably lose a lot of money."
Li Dian nodded, "So we need to prepare more shields. As long as we have shields, we should be able to block most attacks and reduce our losses."
Li Dian has seen it at the scene. With enough shields, the losses can indeed be reduced.
"As long as we rush in, clear out the enemies in the nearby house, and advance step by step like this, it won't take long before we can clear out all the enemies in this area, and then we can pass safely."
Xiahou Dun nodded, "In that case, we will use this method tomorrow to defeat them one by one."
…
Early the next morning, at dawn, Cao Jun's troops lined up on the plain.
Woohoo!
As the horn sounded, Li Dian led his soldiers and horses forward. Looking at the group of soldiers holding shields behind him, a ferocious smile appeared on his face full of wounds.
There are so many shields today, I want to see what you can do!
Although there are many red stones, they are not too heavy. As long as they are held up with a shield, they will not cause much harm to people.
"Brothers, rush!"
Following the order, 500 Cao Jun soldiers who were waiting in full formation immediately raised their shields and rushed towards the red house in front.
Among them, there were several soldiers holding ladders and charging in the middle of the team.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Li Dian did not ride a horse today. Instead, he took a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and rushed toward the red house with long strides.
Although war horses can increase a lot of combat effectiveness, they are somewhat cumbersome in the passage.
Li Dian rushed in front, and when he saw the attack starting from inside the red house, he immediately raised the shield in his hand to block the direction of the bow and arrow.
"put!"
Rest, rest, rest!
Snapped!
Li Dian felt the slight vibration on the shield and knew that he had escaped the first round of attacks. He immediately accelerated his speed and continued to rush towards the red house.
After several rounds of arrows, the soldiers led by Li Dian finally rushed under the red house and got a chance to breathe.
After taking a breather, Li Dian led the soldiers into the alley. After taking a few steps, red bricks fell again like raindrops.
Puff puff!
"Ahhh!"
Unexpectedly, more than a dozen Cao soldiers were hit by red bricks and fell to the ground screaming. The remaining soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to cover their heads.
Bang bang bang!
Although the red bricks continued to fall, the damage caused to Cao Jun was greatly reduced when they hit the shield.
Li Dian was immediately overjoyed and roared, "Hurry up and put up the ladder."
As the order was passed on, Cao Jun's soldiers holding ladders hurriedly put the ladders in their hands on the wall, then jumped on the ladders and climbed up quickly.
Li Dian looked at the soldiers climbing up and felt ecstatic in his heart, "Come on, whoever rushes up first will be rewarded heavily by this general."
The first Cao soldier who rushed up roared and stretched his hands on the wall. Just as he was about to rush up, he screamed and fell off the ladder.
"Oops, there's a knife in the wall."
Another Cao soldier who climbed up was also cut by the strong knife and fell down screaming.
"ah!"
Li Dian was startled and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
"General Li, there are many knives on the wall. If you go up there, you may catch those knives."
At this moment, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from beside him.
"Fire oil!"
"Run quickly, the kerosene is coming!"
Just as Li Dian came to his senses, he heard the sound of a jar breaking. His heart suddenly went cold and he secretly screamed something bad.
"Throw the torch quickly!"
As the words fell, several torches flew out from behind the wall, fell on the kerosene, and the fire burned instantly.
Hoo ho ho!
"Run, it's on fire."
Li Dianyang looked at the fire and knew it was bad. He hurriedly led the soldiers out of the alley to temporarily avoid the fire.
Man Chong, who was standing in the distance, saw the situation here. Although he was temporarily defeated, he nodded with satisfaction.
"If Lu Bujun's only option is to use kerosene, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."
Xiahou Dun nodded, "When the fire is extinguished, General Li will see how much kerosene they still have when he leads his people in."
Man Chong smiled slightly and said, "As long as their fuel is exhausted, we will have a great victory."
When Li Dian saw the flames in the alley extinguished, he immediately shouted, "Everyone, listen to the order, and you must rush in this time."
When everyone heard this, they immediately roared and rushed towards the alley again.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
A group of people came to the ladder holding shields, and a soldier shouted, "General Li, there is a knife on the wall, what should I do?"
Li Dian frowned, pointed at the Cao soldiers on the ground, and said coldly, "Pick up and hold down the knife on the wall."
With these Cao Jun soldiers on their backs, of course they would not be cut by the knives on the city wall.
When Cao Jun's soldiers heard this order, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Although they care about the life and death of their companions, it does not mean that they can do this.
Li Dian frowned and roared, "Hurry up and execute the order."
Due to his majesty, everyone carried Cao Jun's soldiers to the wall.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Cao's soldiers climbed up the ladder towards the wall.
The soldiers of Lu Bu's army behind the wall hurriedly picked up bricks and smashed the soldiers of Cao's army who climbed up. The soldiers on the ladders immediately screamed and fell down one after another.
At the same time, the soldiers of Lu Bu's army pushed down the soldiers of Cao's army who were pushing up, letting go of the knives buried in the wall.
When Cao's soldiers rushed up, they still had to face the blades standing on the wall.
The height of the wall was not too high. Cao's soldiers climbed very quickly, but Lu Bu's soldiers were not slow at throwing bricks.
Finally, under constant attack, a Cao Army soldier climbed up the wall. Just as he was about to find a troublesome spot on the wall, he was stabbed by a Lu Bu Army soldier with a spear. He screamed and fell on the wall.
The Cao soldiers who rushed up from behind immediately stepped on the soldier and climbed up the city wall, roared, and jumped in.
It's a pity that as soon as the soldier jumped down, several soldiers surrounded him and stabbed him down with spears.
Just when more and more people were about to break through the defense line, a shout came from the city wall.
"Throw kerosene!"
When the Cao soldiers outside the city wall heard these words, their expressions suddenly changed with fright, and the speed of their attacks suddenly weakened a bit.
The soldiers in the city wall took this opportunity to knock down the Cao soldiers who climbed onto the city wall, and the two sides were immediately in a stalemate on both sides of the city wall.
Seeing that Li Dian hadn't attacked yet, he was already sweating profusely and kept roaring.
He brought 500 soldiers. Although they were covered by shields, more than 100 men were lost under the rain-like attacks from two sides. If the courtyard wall was not attacked quickly, the losses would be even greater.
Suddenly, several jars of kerosene flew out of the yard silently again and landed among the crowd.
Almost at the same time, torches flying in the air flew over.
Whoops!
Several Cao Jun soldiers who had no time to dodge were immediately ignited by the kerosene on their bodies. The flames ignited instantly and they were burned until they screamed in agony.
As the fire burned, the smell of barbecue spread in the alley, but it did not make these Cao soldiers happy, but frightened them so much that their faces changed and they fled in a hurry.
"Run quickly, it's on fire again."
Seeing that the enemy used kerosene again, although Li Dian was furious, he could only lead his soldiers to the entrance of an alley to dodge.
Once burned by fire oil, even Li Dian might not be able to escape.
Li Dian glanced at the soldiers running out behind him and felt horrified.
Half of the 500 elite soldiers were lost in such a short period of time!
Xiahou Dun, who was standing in the distance, naturally saw the situation in front of him clearly, and suddenly became furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Han Meng, you immediately bring 1,000 soldiers to support General Li. This time, you must take them no matter what." Next yard.”
Han Meng cupped his hands vigorously and said loudly, "General Xiahou, don't worry, if you can't win a yard this time, I will never come back."
After finishing speaking, Han Meng waved vigorously to the soldiers next to him and shouted.
"Everyone rush with me. If anyone dares to retreat, I want to chop off his head. I will not spare any mercy."
