Ma Wu sent out more than 30 teams of scouts to investigate the news of Shouchun. He was restless. Xu Mao was a real man. Within three days, the Yellow Turban Army did not even touch the city skin.
But the war was about supplies. Although Shouchun City was rich, it was definitely not as good as the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army's looting along the way.
How will the Lord fight this battle? It's so annoying.
Suddenly, the deputy general reported, "General, Cao Cao has sent someone."
"Cao Cao? What did he send people for?" As soon as he finished asking, at this moment, Ma Wu's spiritual platform suddenly became clear, and his soul was blessed. He probably understood what his lord was worried about in this battle, and said: "Go and see if Cao Cao has any The soldiers and horses are near Xi County."
After getting the affirmative answer, Ma Wu felt a little scared. If he led the Wolf Fang Regiment to rescue Shouchun, Cao Cao would definitely occupy Xixian County. Xixian County was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would be difficult to come back then.
Moreover, Cao Cao will have a springboard to attack the Central Plains from now on, just like a knife hanging high above his and others' heads.
This is the victory for the lord, but if there is a stalemate with the Yellow Turban Army, he will never win, otherwise Cao Cao will capture Ruyang.
After the lord's governance, Nanyang, Ruyang, and Huainan are the most prosperous places. Who wouldn't be greedy?
Ma Wu said sincerely: "My lord is my lord after all. He always has his eyes on the world. I will never be able to compare with him in this life. Let me fly the goshawk and send a message to other legions, telling them to be wary of enemies beyond their sight."
Ma Wu finally felt how much pressure Lin Ze was under at the moment. After thinking about it, he sent a message to Xu Mao, encouraging him to have a drink and talk together after the battle.
On the eleventh day of the battle to defend the city, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to realize that their attack was actually a fueling tactic, and stopped the attack.
This made Xu Mao breathe a sigh of relief and counted the soldiers. In this battle, the Jiaolong Regiment had already suffered 3,000 casualties and killed more than 30,000 enemies. It seemed like a brilliant record, but after a month of resistance, there were too many casualties. Three thousand people were consumed. Only by killing the enemy's 30,000 people and using up all of your own men can you kill the enemy's 100,000 people.
Now there is a very practical question, that is, the crossbow arrows and crossbow arrows are almost used up. Can I still withstand the next round of attack?
Xu Mao was covered in gunpowder smoke, holding a embroidered spring knife from the infantry fighting generation, and shouted to the seven thousand soldiers: "Brothers, the lord has given us a military order to defend the city for a month. Now, we have defended it for eleven days. The Yellow Turban Army did not have a single leader, and suffered more than 30,000 casualties. My lord's old team, my old general Ma Wu, wrote a letter to praise our dragon regiment. The sword box was broken, and the dragon danced. The Yellow Turban died, and the drum met. Now, you guys Tell me, do we still need to encourage the morale of our Dragon Regiment?"
The soldiers were all murderous, shouting loudly: "Kill, kill, kill!"
Xu Mao said: "Okay, brothers, follow me to the city and fight him for another three hundred rounds!"
From a distance, Liu Jin'er looked at these soldiers with red eyes and said: "These soldiers are becoming more and more like our husband!"
Liu Jin'er held the second military order sent by Lin Ze through Goshawk in her hand, walked to General Xu Mao, and said: "General Xu, my lord has sent you the second suggestion. Give up Wengcheng and attack with fire!"
Xu Mao immediately understood what Lin Ze meant, and with a murderous look in his eyes, he said, "Abandon the first gate and let them rush into Weng City and light a fire in Weng City?"
Liu Jin'er nodded solemnly and said to the maid beside him: "Go and greet the people and throw all the kerosene into the urn."
At the same time, the rich man Ma Bo was looking at Shouchun City with sharp eyes. This round of attack would definitely break through the city gate. He shouted: "If we attack tomorrow, whoever gets there first will get half of everything in Shouchun City." of."
Lin Ze didn't say a word about this battle, but Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others were constantly observing from the front. The Jiaolong Regiment's ability to fight like this earned everyone's respect. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Jin Xuan, and Chen Gong The four of them all knelt in front of Lin Ze. Huang Zhong said: "My lord, the general and others guessed that you were studying "Cao Gui's Debate" and gained momentum in one go, then weakened, and then exhausted. However, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army has not diminished at all. , they are all like beasts that have smelled the smell of blood, fighting for their lives. If we don't send troops, the Jiaolong Regiment may be wiped out. The Jiaolong Regiment is your arm, so you can't bear to see them perish like this?"
Wei Yan clasped his hands in his fists and said coldly, "My lord, they are all only about twenty years old. They have great futures. They are all generals. At the end of the day, please call for help!"
Xu Ziwu also knelt down and begged: "Master!"
When leading troops in later generations, as long as the gunshots are fired, he will be the boss. He does not want the process, but only the results. No matter what means he uses, he will have the old leader watching over him in the end. At this moment, he finally understands that he can survive a hundred battles outside. The old leader How much pressure you put on yourself!
However, here, no one can protect him from wind and rain, and he has to rely on himself for everything. For example, no one can bear the pressure for him. Even Xu Ziwu knelt down and begged. He understood that the fighting spirit of the soldiers was already over. At its peak.
Lin Ze's sweat flowed from the back of his head to his neck, proving that his endurance had reached its limit.
If his attitude was so tough, it would probably chill people's hearts, but he could not give up his tactics. He said: "Five days, I only need to let Xu Mao persist for five more days, and the generals can lead their ministries to fight on their own." .I will never stop it."
These generals all knew Lin Ze's temper. It was not easy for him to let go of this. If they forced him again, they would probably completely anger him.
They understood what Lin Ze meant and fought on their own. They immediately went down to lay out tactics.
Although Diao Chan was worried about Liu Jin'er, she also felt sorry for Lin Ze. She wiped Lin Ze's sweat and whispered: "Mr. Master, no matter who looks at this world, everyone knows that Shouchun is a dead end. Aren't you worried about Jin'er at all?" Sister?"
"I'm worried, but I believe that Xu Mao will definitely prevent the Yellow Turban Army from entering."
"I think you should talk to the generals about your idea, otherwise you will chill their hearts."
Lin Ze's face was gloomy, he took a deep breath and said: "I admire a general. He said something, war has equal opportunities for both sides. I can't guarantee that I will win, so I have nothing to say."
Xu Ziwu came to Lin Ze at this time, knelt down and said: "Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't interfere with your decision, but Wei Yan knelt down and worshiped me, saying that Master might listen to my opinion. If I didn't advise you, , Wei Yan is about to commit suicide."
Lin Ze chuckled and said: "This Wei Yan actually has good intentions, but he is eccentric and overbearing. It is really difficult for an ordinary lord to surrender. Ziwu, you are the first disciple I taught with my heart. I only teach you martial arts, literacy, and the art of war. It is your master who teaches you. Can you see what is the key to this battle?"
Xu Ziwu shook his head and said: "Anyway, I know that Master will not lose."
"Well, you are good at charging into battle, but your strategic vision is really not as good as Ma Wu. This is the reason why I keep you by my side." Lin Ze looked at the stars in the sky and said, "Humans will always be in a position of danger. It is the most heart-breaking situation with a small number of support, or even complete isolation, Ziwu, if you are sure that you are right about something in the future, you must maintain your true heart and withstand all pressure."
Seeing that Xu Ziwu didn't speak, Lin Ze said, "Do you understand?"
Xu Ziwu shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't understand, but I'm thinking about it."
There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. This child has spirituality. He will understand many things in the future.
Lin Ze said nothing, sat cross-legged, and began to close his eyes and rest. Early the next morning, he heard the "rumbling" of drums, and he knew that the second round of the Yellow Turban Army's attack had begun.
The Yellow Turban Army went crazy. Each one of them seemed to be on drugs. Their eyes were red and bloodshot, and their blood was tingling. With the order, they began to rush towards the city wall again. In order to break the city, they were really crazy. , they are as foolhardy as a group of zombies, they want to rush in after smelling the smell of living people.
They had no tactics and didn't prepare many bows and arrows. They actually climbed up by relying on the corpses at the bottom of the city. Xu Mao led his troops to block it for a while, but none of the Yellow Turbans could get there first.
Suddenly, they became excited because they found that the city gate was unguarded. They immediately knocked on the door and the city gate was knocked over. The Yellow Turban Army went crazy and shouted: "A door is opened. Brothers, rush, crash." Go through the second door and go into the city to steal money, food, and women!"
They rushed into the urn like locusts, rushing one after another, shouting wildly.
On the top of the city, Xu Mao looked at the densely packed heads. He was surprised, why did the lord know that these people would rush in so blindly? This guy is so close to others!
Xu Mao was so surprised that he almost jumped up and shouted: "Set fire, hurry up, set fire quickly!"
The soldiers on the top of the city quickly lit rockets and fired at the barbican indiscriminately.
There was a muffled sound of "boom", and the fire almost exploded, spreading in all directions, burning more and more fiercely. Soon the smell of barbecue wafted in the urn city, followed by the smell of burning, which was disgusting.
Looking at the city, there was a scene of howling ghosts and wolves, crowded with people, and there was nowhere to run. They could only be burned to death, then scorched, and then used as fuel. They howled in pain and struggled, even if they were crawling out of the pile of corpses. When Xu Mao got up, he felt chills. He murmured: "It's too tragic, it's too tragic. My lord has suffered such a loss. This will cost him his life. How could the lord come up with such a damaging move? Hehehehe..."
Ma Bo was stunned by this fire. He was completely stunned, dumbfounded and shocked. At least 50,000 people rushed in this time. Not even a hair of Lin Ze's soldiers was injured. They were burned like this. died?
The first attack lasted for eleven days. Lin Ze was motionless thirty miles away. Could it be that he was just waiting for him to attack, and he was watching his own show?
Look at the Yellow Turban Army. They are not crazy at all now, they are all honest. They look at those people who are burning out and rush out, and they can't help but think, what if that is them?
What is the saying that the sky is dead and the yellow sky is standing? Nima, what is the saying that is spread all over the world? Yes, it hurts when I get beaten, and I also vomit after drinking too much.
It's better to run away. My brain is twitching. I was tricked into becoming an enemy of Lin Ze. People have given me the land. Can't I just farm it well? Thinking about making quick money and getting rich is too scary...
