"Blood and iron rejuvenate the great man." All the soldiers cheered in unison, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky, which shocked the Liaodong soldiers on the city wall.
"Forget it, you are the chief general, I'll listen to you." Seeing that Zhang Liao was so firm, Li Jun didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly mobilized his soldiers to prepare for the night siege.
Chapter 366
As night fell, the entire city pass was completely silent in the dark, and the north wind howled, greatly hindering the line of sight.
Li Hong was well aware of the importance of this time, in order for the soldiers to have sufficient fighting power, he asked the kitchen to add a lot of meat to the meals tonight.He also provided a piece of bacon for each of the soldiers on night patrol. With such a heavy reward, how dare the soldiers not stick to their posts.
As the first watch approached, the soldiers who had been tired all day began to doze off slightly, and their energy became more and more unable to concentrate. Many people directly hid in sheltered places to rest.
When he was most sleepy, suddenly the sound of drums outside the city gate shook the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded all over the world.
The Liaodong soldiers who were still resting were suddenly awakened and looked out of the city gate one by one.
I saw a large number of dots suddenly appeared on the field in front of me, and those were Cao Jun soldiers holding torches.
"The enemy attacked, Cao's army attacked the city."
In the darkness, whoever yelled first, suddenly the entire city wall boiled like a frying pan.
Li Hong finally fell asleep, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.
"who?"
"My lord, something is wrong, Cao Jun has attacked the city."
Hearing that it was Cao Jun, Li Hong was shocked, quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and came out.
"what happened?"
"Suddenly a large number of Cao troops appeared at the three gates in the southeast and west."
Li Hong took a deep breath and hurried towards the city wall with his personal guards, ignoring his rest.
Outside the east gate, Li Jun went out to fight in person, and shouted loudly to the soldiers under his command.In terms of fighting, the combat effectiveness of these Sanhan soldiers is not good, but if they want to raise their flags and make their voice stronger, they are indeed working extremely hard.
Li Hong on the city wall looked at the "sea of fire" in front of him, and his whole heart was tugged.
In the night battle, Cao Jun actually chose the night battle, which was something Li Hong never thought of from the beginning to the end.
You know, it's not summer right now, and the climate is comfortable.Not to mention the extremely low temperature in winter in Liaodong, there are occasional rains at night.Under the freezing temperature, the rain will soon turn into ice.
For the Liaodong Army guarding above the Chengguan, the slippery ground can still be overcome.But for those Cao Jun under the city gate, if the ladder is wet and frozen, how can they climb up.
"Order all the ministries to enter the combat state, and strictly prevent Cao's army from entering the city." Li Hong gave an order, and all the soldiers entered the combat position.
Although the current number of Cao Jun cannot be estimated, under Li Hong's urging, all the generals did not dare to be careless and ordered their soldiers to be careful.
The soldiers on the city either bent their bows or put their hands on the logs and stones, waiting for Cao Jun to enter the effective attack range.
This wait was more than half an hour.
During this period, I saw Cao Jun shouting loudly under the city gate, and the sound of drums shook the sky, but there was no sign of any soldiers charging to attack the city.
Seeing this situation, a school lieutenant walked towards Li Hong and said softly: "Lord prefect, I feel that Cao Jun didn't plan to attack the city, but used the tactics of exhaustion to amuse our army deliberately, how about ordering the soldiers to rest first? "
Li Hong didn't think so.
Cao Jun under the city gate is only a hundred steps away from the city. If he gallops at full speed, the ladder will be on top of the city wall in a few tens of breaths at most.If all the soldiers rested, wouldn't the danger of the city being breached suddenly become much greater.
"Cao Jun is close at hand, how can I rest, let the brothers cheer me up, unless Cao Jun retreats."
The captain was a little embarrassed.
Li Hong didn't understand military affairs, and these soldiers would get tired easily after drawing their bows for a long time and maintaining their concentration for a long time.
If Cao Jun does not attack the city at this moment, he deliberately waits for them to be exhausted before attacking.At that time, those soldiers will not be able to bend their bows or shoot arrows, so what will happen?
"By the way, there are Cao Jun at the southeast, west and west gates, what about the north gate?" Li Hong suddenly thought of the north gate.I patrolled around by myself, but I missed the North Gate.
The four gates are all key points, how can one be missed.
The captain shook his head and said: "There is no Cao Jun at the north gate, they must have let the north gate open and wanted us to break through."
Encircling three and missing one is not only to leave a glimmer of life for the defenders in the city, but also an excellent way to disintegrate morale.
Li Hong nodded and said: "Let everyone keep an eye on me. If Cao Jun approaches, attack down to prevent them from approaching."
The captain promised.
North Gate.
Zhang Liao personally led [-] soldiers and brought fifty trebuchets into the attack range.
Relying on the noisy drums of the other three gates, the sound of the trebuchet being transported was not noticed by the Liaodong Army above the Chengguan.
Fifty trebuchets lined up, all aimed at the city wall in front of them.
Just as Zhang Liao had guessed in advance, being deceived by the feint attacks of the other three gates, the defense of the north gate was sparse and completely unfounded.
After calling several school lieutenants and explaining the situation, everyone entered the predetermined position and waited for the attack.
Above the city gate, the guard guarding the north gate is named Gongsun Qi.Although he is also surnamed Gongsun, he has nothing to do with bigwigs like Gongsun Du, Gongsun Zan, and is just an ordinary school lieutenant.
Looking at the bustling scene of the other three schools, Gongsun Qi felt a little congratulated.Not only Li Hong and the others "seeed" Cao Jun's plan to besiege the three without one, but Gongsun Qi also saw the reason for it with his years of military experience.Guarding the only way out, as long as there is any trouble, he can be the first to break out, watching other comrades fighting in full swing, this feeling is not to mention how comfortable it is.
Just as he was thinking, several officers under his command sneaked up to his side.
Looking at the few people in front of him, Gongsun Qi deliberately pretended to be majestic and angrily said: "The enemy is now, you are not in your respective posts, what are you doing here?"
One of the centurions said with a playful smile: "Brother Gongsun, it's too cold. It's not because the brothers are afraid that you will freeze to death, so they pooled up some money to buy wine to warm you up!" Pulled out a jug.
Seeing the fine wine, Gongsun Qi's eyes lit up.
Pretending to be calm, he coughed lightly and said, "Drinking is not allowed in the army, you are making me break the rules."
Several centurions are old acquaintances, how can they not know his preferences, seeing him like this, they all smiled and said: "It's okay! God knows, you know, we know, don't worry, Brother Gongsun, this matter will definitely not be ignored. Others know."
Gongsun Qi pretended to be helpless, took the jug with a half-push, uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, then started to drink it.
"Sweet, good wine. It's so cool to have a drink at night in this weather."
Several centurions also echoed repeatedly.
"Let's talk, you boys, it's impossible to bring me drinks at night, what the hell is it?"
Several centurions looked at each other, rubbing the back of their heads and laughing.
