Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Chapter 36 Controlling Firepower

On the second day, Cao Cao still sent people to urge the soldiers of the three routes, and ordered them to attack Xiapi City without a break, so as to contain the troops in Xiapi City. www>

It is said that Cao Cao was furious in the army yesterday because the battle in the west was not going well; because the west gate was guarded by Lu Bu himself, and the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted when they saw Lu Bu go into battle in person. By presenting rockets, all Cao Cao's ladders were burned, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses.

As for the rushing carts, Chen Gongnai used a long rope to pierce the stones, flew stones to hail the carts, and smashed more than a dozen rushing carts at the gate of the city one by one.

After a day of fierce attack, Cao Cao made no progress, but lost seven or eight hundred soldiers.Coupled with worrying about Xuchang's safety, Cao Cao can be said to be in a state of desperation now. [

Under the supervision of Cao Cao's envoy, Zhang Liao was afraid of revealing his flaws, so he tried his best to attack, and the earth mountain that Guan Ping built last night also played a big role at this moment.

Zhang Liao specially sent people to crawl on the top of the earthen mountain to monitor the situation in the city, and according to the deployment of troops in the opponent's city, he specially selected places with weak troops to fight.The role of the earth mountain finally appeared at this moment.

While Zhang Liao's soldiers were fighting in full swing, Guan Ping led his soldiers lying in the camp, sleeping soundly.The hundreds of soldiers who piled up the earth mountain overnight yesterday were exhausted.

When the scorching sun turned into the setting sun, Zhang Liao ordered the army to stop the attack. Because of the earth mountain, today's loss was much less than yesterday's, only more than 150 people.

And when the sun had completely set on the top of the mountain and the cold wind was blowing at night, the soldiers in the camp started making noises after they had had enough sleep. It was cold, so Guan Ping asked Zhang Liao for more than a dozen cans of wine to keep out the cold and warm his hands and feet.

After preparations were made, when the night completely enveloped the land and the soldiers on both sides fell asleep, Guan Ping set off with his soldiers and horses.

According to yesterday's method, it was repeated several times, approaching, beating drums, shouting, and then retreating.

However, the patience of the Xiapi army tonight is obviously not as good as yesterday. After only a few rounds, Hou Cheng gave the order not to shoot arrows, but to stay alert.

The soldiers didn't object, because they didn't sleep well last night, so when they encountered the enemy during the day, many soldiers fell asleep, and they could have survived, but they died in a daze.Only then did everyone know: maintaining a good sleep is so important.

Guan Ping's strategy, although effective, is actually not at a high level.Because as long as you have a little bit of vision, you can see the sudden rise of a dirt mountain overnight, and then think of the abnormal situation last night, and you can think of the connection without turning your head.

Fortunately, there is also Hou Cheng as an internal response, otherwise Guan Ping's strategy is a one-off.

Because of the experience of last night, and the soldiers gradually got used to groping and working at night, the speed increased, and when it was daylight, they built another five-meter and three-meter dirt hills.

After eight or nine days in a row, there were more and more earth hills, and six of them stood proudly outside Xiapi City.

At this time, Lu Bu's trusted followers recalled the abnormal situation of the opponent every day and night, and realized that these earth mountains were actually erected by them at night.

Those idiots just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ordered Hou Cheng to lead the soldiers and horses to shoot arrows every night.Guan Ping just gave up, but there are already six earth mountains, which are enough.
