The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 203 Chen Cang Attack and Defense

Ten miles outside Chencang City.

Ancient China governed the country with Confucianism, seeking a benevolent government, so the emphasis was on defense. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the dominant idea of ​​governance was Huang Lao's theory, which always advocated the strategies of "small country with few people" and "government by doing nothing".It was only after Emperor Wu of the Han came to power that he changed the old system of the previous dynasty and adopted a way of governing the country that coexisted with domineering and kingly ways, and created the revival of Han Wu.

However, in the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms period, there were wars and wars everywhere. For a while, various schools of thought became active again, and even reached the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending and letting go of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

But at this time, it is also the time when thinking is most chaotic. Whether a ruler is a king or a minister is not a minister, a few swords and guns can become the king of the mountain, so there is no faith in this era, especially in those ancient times when the news was not developed. Literati can ruin the reputation of a virtuous man forever.

For example, Chen Shimei, a person who was originally talented and knowledgeable about the past and present, suddenly became famous for disliking the poor and loving the rich. Pan Mei, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, was portrayed as a treacherous minister who was ignorant and incompetent... ...Too much, too much, so to know history, to know the real history, you must read it with your own heart, not just follow what others say.

But at this time, before setting off, Huang Zhong had been thinking about a problem. Chu Wang Nie Zefeng dared to simply send them surrendered generals, even his deadly enemy who had just surrendered, to lead the army to fight. What kind of trust and courage is that? , so from the very beginning, Huang Zhong has always taken this army seriously, fearing that he would fail the trust of the King of Chu.

Huang Zhong watched his army set off, secretly wanting to capture Chen Cang in his heart, maybe everyone can take the entire Chen Cang City in one fell swoop if they work harder.

At this time, Liu Pan galloped over from the former army on a gallop and asked, "Why didn't General Huang raid Chencang City on light cavalry, but so slowly."

Huang Zhong explained: "Chencang City doesn't need him to go out, not to mention the high walls and thick walls. In addition, they still have enough food and grass in the city. We can't besieged for a long time. We must adopt a quick solution to win the battlefield war. The current defender of Chencang is Hao Zhao, he already knows that we are marching, so he must have taken precautions, we are marching slowly, we are waiting for our siege weapons to arrive at the city of Chencang together, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy."

Although Liu Pan listened to and respected this officer, the victories of these few days have grown Liu Pan's arrogance to the point of superciliousness. In his eyes, the entire Sili area is at his fingertips. However, Huang Zhong is his own general after all. Boss, he had to obey. Unconvinced, he still proposed to become the first siege general. Huang Zhong had to agree in order to comfort the general's stubbornness.

Under the city of Chencang.

Under the red sun of autumn, the infantry and cavalry in red armor have come to the city of Chencang.The character "Chu" on the Dazhu flag is still faintly visible.

On Chencang City, Cao Jun soldiers in black armor were also densely arrayed on the top of the city, and a flag with the word "Cao" fluttered in the wind.

Cao Jun soldiers under the battle flag looked angrily at the dark red army below the city, and they managed to deter the enemy with a single announcement without taking a fighting posture.

Liu Pan himself is full of confidence to capture Chen Cangcheng in one fell swoop.

The cavalry units could not travel long distances with the huge war drums, so they could only use horns instead of war drums.

A long sound of drums and horns, long and dull, slowly spread among the neat army.

Liu Pan confidently commanded in front of the Chinese army: "The first army set up a ladder and rushed up for me directly. The second team is ready to climb the city wall to fight at any time. The third team is ready to hit the city gate and attack the city. whole city."

Liu Pan took the lead in leading his deployment of more than 6000 infantry and cavalry. At this time, Huang Zhong was still on the road, and it would take some time to get here.

The first team of attacking soldiers directly carried a simple ladder and attacked under Chencang City.

Just listen, on the top of the city, Hao Zhao tightly held his saber with his right hand, and then just said lightly "shoot the arrow"

In an instant, countless feathered arrows were like splashing water towards these soldiers who did not have half a shield guard. Although their clothes were blocked by armor, there were still countless soldiers. Fear of the ruthless feather arrows, because after all, I am a body of flesh and blood, and cannot block an inch-iron attack.

The soldiers retreated one after another, and Liu Pan, who was in the middle army, came quickly and shouted at the retreating soldiers: "Rush for me, rush for me."

A corporal explained: "General, the enemy's feathered arrows are too powerful, we can't stop them without shields!"

Liu Pan scolded angrily: "That's because you are cowardly. As long as you rush over, the enemy will naturally lose the city and flee. We can even take the Maolin area, so why can't we take down a small Chencang city?"

Liu Pan took the lead, and dozens of cavalry behind him followed closely. The soldiers who turned around and ran also went to the battlefield with the general who wanted to make contributions.

When they approached within a hundred steps below the city, the ruthless feather arrows attacked them again. Liu Pan shook the big knife in his hand and dialed the feather arrows that were shot. Although Liu Pan kept dialing, but still A long arrow hit Liu Pan's shoulder, and a burst of heart-piercing pain caught Liu Pan off guard, and the big knife in his hand was dropped heavily on the ground in an instant.

Then another row of feather arrows shot over, and the captain next to him shouted: "General, be careful."

However, the ruthless feather arrow had already shot at Liu Pan, and Liu Pan held the arrow wound on his right shoulder with his left hand, and there was no possibility of avoiding it.

In the midst of this difficulty, the captain suddenly rushed over, and the row of crossbow arrows "search-search-search"

Streams of blood slowly ooze out along his armor, and all this happened in an instant. Liu Pan looked at the corpse on his horse's back, and was a little angry, mixed with a trace of unwillingness.

The captain next to him persuaded: "General, let's retreat!"

At this time, Liu Pan cruelly pushed the captain on horseback off his horse and yelled, "That's because we haven't charged under their city yet, charge."

After Liu Pan yelled, he pulled out his waist knife, regardless of the pain of the bow and arrow, and drove his horse forward again.

The captains and soldiers behind him are all his own soldiers, so they must accompany him life and death.

Of course, the more than 1000 siege soldiers who were the first echelon also fell down one after another, and the blood that was still boiling continued to infiltrate the dry yellow land.

A few more bows and arrows floated towards Liu Pan. Out of self-protection, he pulled the reins tightly, and the war horse raised its two hooves and let out a high-pitched call.

"Clang-clang-clang"

Several streams of hot blood immediately eroded the white fur on the white war horse.

The horse finally swayed a few times, then took a few steps back, and finally fell down slowly. Liu Pan had no choice but to dial the feather arrows with his saber, and the soldiers behind him went forward to rescue Liu Pan.

A general with high martial arts skills can hardly resist the attack of that piece of iron.

But at this time, another row of arrows shot at him. Liu Pan's younger brother Liu Xiong suddenly blocked the arrow for his brother. The captain who accompanied the army saw that the sword in his hand could no longer stop such a dense rain of arrows. He took off the battle flag on his horse casually, and used the thick flag to meet the ruthless feather arrows.

Liu Xiong used his last strength to dissuade him: "Brother, retreat, retreat!"

Although the Feather Arrow is powerful, how can I avoid it when I see my master sacrificing his life like this?

Looking at his dead brother and the fallen soldiers around him, he finally chose to retreat. Under the protection of a flag, he rode on the captain's horse and walked away.

And the school lieutenant was holding the big vertical flag tightly, and the countless long arrows were inserted into the flag.

In grief and indignation, Liu Pan rode his horse and galloped back to look at the small city of Chencang. What he saw was a glimpse of Hao Zhao who was walking back and forth.

Back in the army formation, Liu Pan changed his strategy. His anger and unwillingness had filled his brain. He ordered: "The first team pushes down, the second team puts the shields on, and the archers push back. The third team fight."

The first team had only 300 people left and hurriedly retreated. There were also various wounded soldiers among the 300 people in the calculation formula.The second group of soldiers picked up their shields one after another and began to form a dense shield formation, moving forward step by step.

Countless feathered arrows shot on the shield, and the soldiers under the city took advantage of this gap to lift their bodies from the tight shield and shoot arrows of anger, although most of the arrows were shot at the top of the city. However, many arrows still directly hit Cao Jun on the top of the city wall, and scenes of Cao Jun soldiers falling from the city wall continued to appear on the city wall.

Although the shield formation was so dense, many soldiers were still knocked down.

After countless soldiers were knocked down, they still attacked under the city, but when they waited for them, they turned into countless rolling logs and stones, and the solid shield formation was crushed and defeated by the huge stones and rolling logs in an instant. Countless soldiers fell down one after another, and the shields began to be thrown to the ground, and then the dust on the top of the city was thrown down one after another. With the gust of wind, the eyes of countless soldiers were fascinated. , being crushed to death under this boulder abruptly, they didn't even have the slightest ability to resist, and they didn't even resist.

After paying countless lives and corpses, the third team of soldiers took advantage of the momentum to attack. At this time, the second team had been disabled, and more than 500 soldiers had lost their fighting ability.

As for those ladders that were erected, it was also seen that the enemy's tung oil was dumped, turning into a cloud of dust, and gone with the wind.
