Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 423
Early the next morning, Cao Jun launched an attack on Changyi City again.

Liu Dai was awakened by the soldiers reluctantly, and without even washing his face, he put on a brocade robe and came to the city of Changyi.

As the lord, even if Liu Dai doesn't do anything and stays at the head of Changyi City, he can also play a role in boosting the morale of the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army.

Therefore, Liu Dai has been appearing in Changyi city on time recently, and he can be regarded as a mascot.

"This city of Changyi is really a tough nut to crack!" Cao Cao in armor frowned.

"Don't worry, my lord. Last night, my subordinate stayed up all night and came up with an idea. The subordinate has already arranged manpower to do this. It must reduce the casualties of the soldiers." Xun Yu said with dark circles under his eyes.

"Wen Ruo, I've told you many times that you can't work day and night, why don't you listen?" Cao Cao scolded.

This sentence fully embodies Boss Cao's language art.

If he was an ordinary person, he would immediately ask Xun Yu what solution he came up with, but Boss Cao didn't. The first thing Boss Cao cared about was Xun Yu's body.

In this regard, there is a person who is very similar to Boss Cao's approach. He even threw his only son on the ground in order to buy people's hearts.

I don't have the courage to do such a thing.

In terms of buying people's hearts, Liu Bei can be said to be even worse than Cao Cao.

After hearing this, Xun Yu immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates are fine. Recently, my lord's figure has become thinner, and my subordinates are very heartbroken. Therefore, I have stayed up all night, wanting to share my worries!"

Cao Cao patted Xun Yu's shoulder, and said slowly, "Cao has such virtue and ability to be able to work for a virtuous minister like Wen Ruo!"

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, you have the same ambition as your subordinates, helping you is helping the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, the subordinates will not hesitate to smash their bones to pieces!"

Cao Cao's expression froze when he heard this, but in an instant, Boss Cao returned to his smiling face, and said to Xun Yu, "As a Han official, who eats the Han's salary, naturally he must be devastated to support the Han family."

"The soldiers have begun to attack the city!" Cao Cao pointed to the distance, and after hearing this, Xun Yu turned his gaze to the city and began to pay attention to this fortified battle.

After Xun Yu looked away, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with unhappiness and worry.

Since Xun Yu uttered his words of loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao suddenly lost his mind to ask Xun Yu what strategy he came up with.

Cao Cao at this time is no longer the old Cao Cao!
……

"The whole army is attacking, and today we swear to break the city to the death. Whoever dares to retreat will be killed immediately!" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly.

The brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan returned last night. After sleeping for less than three hours, Xiahoudun volunteered to take over the task of attacking the city.

With the soldiers and horses brought back by the Xiahou brothers, Cao Jun's offensive became more violent.

More than ten thousand Cao troops formed dozens of siege arrays, and Cao soldiers with shields and ladders rushed towards Changyi City.

Behind them is a covering formation composed of crossbowmen.

The action of force is mutual, and the range of the bow and arrow is naturally the same.

After the soldiers of the Cao Army entered the range of the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army also entered the range of the soldiers of the Cao Army.

The overwhelming rain of arrows rose from Cao Jun's formation, flew into the air and then fell towards the top of the city, causing great trouble to the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army on the tower.

The sound of the bowstring ringing was endless, and the arrows rained densely. Some fell on the ground, some shot on the shield, or shot on people. The screams were endless and never stopped.

The siege ladder was erected, and Cao Jun in armor first climbed up the ladder holding a large shield.

"Roll logs and stones, throw them down!" Zhou Ze ordered loudly.

After Zhou Ze gave the order, the Yanzhou army at the head of the city threw rolling logs and stones down desperately.

After the rolling logs and stones were thrown from the top of the city, the blood and flesh of all Cao Jun's first climbed were flying everywhere.

"Golden juice!"

After Zhou Ze finished speaking, the boiling golden juice was poured down the wall.

"Fuck!"

A stench mixed with the smell of meat immediately spread around Changyi City.

The stench is naturally from the golden juice;
The smell of meat is the smell of Cao Junxiandeng's flesh being cooked in golden juice.

The screams sounded one after another, and Cao Jun climbed and fell down the ladder one after another, and ran straight to the ground.

Although the name of Golden Juice is good, this thing is very dirty, and the most terrible thing is that it contains various germs.

Gold juice was widely used in ancient city defense battles. Although there was no virology at that time, soldiers found that it was very lethal. Although some soldiers only got a little bit of it, they died of illness a few days later.

Later, after improvement, various poisons, such as arsenic, were added to the golden juice.

Golden juice plays a huge role in defending the city, because it can not only kill the enemy, but also smoke the enemy!

To put it bluntly, Xundi is a job that kills one thousand enemies and hurts eight hundred. Think about it, this thing is boiled on the tower, so the taste can be less?

In order to be easily killed by the gold juice?

First of all, being poured with boiled golden juice is a severe burn;
Secondly, there are not only germs, but also poisons, which are very easy to infect;
In this era when wind, cold and cold can kill people, how many doctors have cured burns and infections?
Sometimes soldiers will shoot the enemy after sticking arrows in horse manure. The two basically belong to the same principle.

Closer to home, after all the rolling wood, stones and gold juice were used, Cao Jun Xiandeng's offensive was finally blocked, at least this group of Xiandeng was unable to attack again.

Xiahou Dun sighed secretly after seeing it, and shook his head helplessly.

Immediately Xiahou Dun waved his hand, indicating that this group of Xiandeng would be removed, and another group of Xiandeng would go to attack the city.

However, Xiahou Dun's three successive waves of attacks all returned in vain. As the day went by, the battle came to an end for the time being.

After the sound of the golden bell sounded, Cao Jun's soldiers formed a formation and slowly retreated back to the main formation.

Under the city wall, dark red blood and corpses interweave into a tragic picture.

The dead and the wounded were mixed together, and the groans of pain still sounded from time to time. Countless corpses and seriously injured people who were about to die were abandoned in the city.

After a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers on both sides no longer had fear and compassion, and only fatigue and numbness remained in their bodies and minds.

Zhou Ze, who was standing on the wall, had already stained his armor with blood.

Looking at the soldiers of Cao Jun who were slowly retreating, Zhou Ze smiled bitterly. How many days can this Changyi City last?

After several consecutive battles, the battle-torn city walls of Changyi were stained with blood, and many corpses and severed limbs that had not been cleaned up were unbearable to look at.

In this era, there was an unwritten but very humane rule for siege battles: after the attacking party stopped attacking the city, the defending party would send civilian men to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle. At this time, the attacking party was not allowed to attack the civilian men.

After all, the offensive and defensive battle of a city cannot be won in three or five days. If the corpses are not restrained and left to rot in the sun, it is very likely to cause a plague. This is a result that neither the attacker nor the defender wants to see.

……

"Is everything ready?" Xun Yu asked.

"Military division, according to your arrangement, I have led people to copy a thousand copies of your letter." A small writer cupped his hands.

"It's so good, take it and send it to the lord's big tent!" Xun Yu ordered.

"No!" The little official cupped his hands.

[Ask for a ticket every day, thank you buddy! 】
