Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 421 The Battle of Changyi

Although Zhao Bao's move fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the Yanzhou Army officers and men, it was still a drop in the bucket to turn the tide of the battle.

A city without moats and high walls can be broken through simply with ladders and carts.

More and more ladders were erected on the walls of Gaoping City. While commanding the battle, Zhao Bao swung his fork and lifted the ladders down, almost keeping his feet off the ground.

Seeing this, Cao Ren said to Cao Hong, "Zi Lian, look how ridiculous this enemy general is."

Cao Hong nodded approvingly: "Brother is right, this is something that can't be defended at all, why do you have to resist?"

Le Jin beside Cao Hong shook his head and said, "This man is a man. He knows he is invincible, but he still fights desperately. Although he is a fly shaking a tree, he is admirable."

Cao Hong said displeasedly, "Wen Qian, what do you mean by that?"

However, Cao Ren said to Cao Hong: "Wen Qian's words are correct! Alright, Zi Lian is pressing up with his elite soldiers. It's time to end this battle!"

Cao Hong glanced at Le Jin, then cupped his hands and said, "No!"

After Cao Hong left, Cao Ren smiled at Le Jin and said, "Wen Qian, Zi Lian has this kind of temper, don't take it to heart, I just got stuck!"

Le Jin hurriedly said: "The last general dare not!"

After Cao Hong joined the battle with elite soldiers, the situation in Gaoping City became even worse.

Seeing that Cao Jun's attack became more and more crazy, Zhao Bao couldn't care less.

Zhao Bao rushed directly to the front of the city tower and shouted loudly: "If this battle is defeated, everyone and I will die here!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Bao swung his fork and flipped over a ladder again.

"Willing to fight with the general to the death!" Yanzhou Army soldiers shouted in unison.

But as Le Jin said, Zhao Bao's move is tantamount to shaking a tree by a mayfly.

Although Zhao Bao and all the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army fought the enemy bravely, they were still no match for the soldiers of Cao Army who were like dark clouds covering the sun.

Cao Jun's soldiers continued to board Gaoping City on ladders. Zhao Bao tried his best to fight to the death, but he still couldn't stop the Cao Jun soldiers who came one after another.

Looking at Zhao Bao who was in a hurry on the tower, Le Jin patted his horse forward and slowly untied the bow and arrow from his back.

Le Jin bent his bow and set an arrow, the sound of the bowstring making the teeth sore, Le Jin secretly said: "Let me give you a ride!"

After thinking about it, this arrow headed straight towards Zhao Bao with the sound of piercing through the sky.

The arrow hit the front door, Zhao Bao fell to the ground.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhao Bao stood up with the support of a fork!

The arrow was still stuck in Zhao Bao's face, and Zhao Bao, who was bleeding profusely, roared with all his strength: "Today's battle, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Bao glared angrily, and died in despair.

Inspired by Zhao Bao, all the Yanzhou troops roared and killed the Cao Jun soldiers at the top of the city until the last person in the battle.

In the end, all the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army died on the tower of Gaoping City, and none of them surrendered.

Cao Ren let out a long sigh after seeing it, and then fell silent.

After a long time, Cao Ren said, "None of these Yanzhou soldiers are cowards! Such a heroic soul must not be left dead in the wild. The biography will order that he be buried generously!"

"No!" Cao Jun's soldiers shouted in unison.

……

Yanzhou, Changyi City.

After the war, heavy and majestic black smoke billowed from the city of Changyi. On the walls of the four gates, the flags of the Yanzhou Army fell to the ground in a mess, soaked and polluted by steaming blood. Broken arrows and scrap armor piled up together.

This battle between the two armies on the city wall was more cruel and bloody than imagined.

Cao Cao at this time is not the boss Cao who will dominate the world in the future, so Boss Cao did not have the gorgeously decorated carriage carrying tea sets to accompany him in this battle.

Boss Cao, who was riding on the horse, was also disheveled. Although he looked stronger than the soldiers who attacked the city, he was not much stronger.

It's getting late today, and the siege battle has come to an end here. We will fight again tomorrow after the two sides have recuperated.

"Wen Ruo, is there any battle report from Zixiao and Yuan Rang?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, both General Cao and General Xiahou have battle reports. Among the ten counties in Shanyang, only Changyi City and Xiaqiu City have not yet been captured. General Xiahou is attacking Xiaqiu City. We can take it down." Xun Yu cupped his hands and said.

"Okay! Once Xiaqiu is captured, I want to see how long Liu Gongshan can last!" Cao Cao laughed.

"My lord, what do you plan to do with Taishan County?" Xun Yu asked.

"I have heard the name of Zang Xuangao. He is a general. If it is possible, I plan to take him down." Cao Cao replied without thinking, obviously thinking about it a long time ago.

"Very good! If Zang Xuangao can be subdued, the whole territory of Yanzhou will fall into the lord's pocket! At that time, the lord can write a letter to the emperor, and take advantage of the opportunity to take the post of Yanzhou pastor or Yanzhou governor." Xun Yu laughed.

But neither Cao Cao nor Xun Yu knew that Zang Ba, whom they wanted to surrender, was on his way to Changyi.

"That's right! When the time comes to write a letter to the emperor, I have to trouble Wen Ruo!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"My lord, you are serious! This is a subordinate's job, why bother to explain?" Xun Yu also laughed.

"With Zhongde here, I think there won't be anything wrong with Yuan Rang. The flawed hill will be broken within two days. The most urgent thing right now is to think about how to break the city of Changyi!" Cao Cao frowned.

Liu Dai retreated all his troops into Changyi City. In addition, Changyi City has sufficient food and defense equipment, and it is not easy to break through Changyi City in a short time.

"This matter is indeed not easy. When the battle has reached this point, most of the strategies will not work." Xun Yu said truthfully.

What Xun Yu said was right. In the current situation, there are very few effective strategies to break through the city of Changyi. The most practical way is to use human lives to fill it.

However, Cao Cao's soldiers were not many at all, only 3 at full strength, and more than half of the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army were surrendered.

Under such circumstances, how could Cao Cao be willing to take the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under the city of Changyi?

If half of the 3 people were lost, and there was no rest for a year and a half, Cao Cao would never want to mobilize troops!
"Hey, let's not talk about this for now. We haven't eaten for a long time. Let's go back to the camp and have something to eat. Let's discuss while we eat!" Cao Cao said.

"No! Please, my lord!" Xun Yu said respectfully.

After returning to the camp, Boss Cao's personal soldiers served the already hot meals, and Cao Cao and Xun Yu sat opposite each other to eat.

"Is there no wine? Get some wine!" Cao Cao frowned.

"My lord, take a break, and this subordinate will go make you some hot wine!" The soldier said, clasping his hands.

"Go, get it quickly!" Cao Cao ordered.

"Winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder and colder. We have to capture Changyi City in the next few days!" Cao Cao said worriedly.

"Hey, attacking Changyi City is not a matter of rushing to achieve success. My lord, don't be impatient, and my subordinates will think of a way." Xun Yu said slowly.

"My lord, here comes the wine!" The soldiers brought the hot wine to Cao Cao's table.

"Go down!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

"Your subordinate will leave!"
