The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 221 The city will be destroyed soon
郑县
For more than a month, Guo Jia's life has been step by step, eating and sleeping as usual, and his living habits have not been affected by the war at all.

For him, war is a kind of rhythm. He was tense at the beginning and sometimes had trouble falling asleep. After gradually adapting to it, he became more at ease with the situation. A strong heart was forged through a series of experiences.

Accompanied by Fazheng, Guo Jia inspected the Zheng County camp. The three armed forces did not slack off in their drills. The fortifications in Zheng County had also been built.

"My lord, General Gao wrote back this morning that Huayin's fortification is nearing completion, and it will be completed within ten days at the latest."

Fazheng followed Guo Jia, half a step behind.

Pausing his feet in thought, Guo Jia said calmly: "Then send military orders to Zhang Liao and Yan Yan, and then send a message to Zhen Yu in Chang'an. They arranged for the people in Hebei and Jingzhou to act."

After Fazheng took the order, he bowed and left.

Looking around at the sweating soldiers in the barracks, Guo Jia looked calm and said to himself in a trance, "It's almost over."

Guo Jia paid close attention to the battle reports of Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass every day. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a total of 25 soldiers and horses, which had rapidly dropped to more than 15. For more than a month, Guo Jia has only weakened Yuan Shao's more than [-] troops.

The decisive battle is about to start.

Guo Jia had mixed feelings, because the enemy he was facing was Yuan Shao.

From his point of view, Yuan Shao is far away, Cao Cao is close, and the strategy he should follow is far away and close attack.

But none of these were controlled by his will.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and what should come will come.

武关
Yan Yan and Pang Tong, who stood condescendingly on the Guancheng, looked dignified. On this sunny day, there was a murderous atmosphere inside and outside Wuguan.

The general of Yuan Jun's commanding army is Ju Yi, riding his horse in front of the formation, majestic and majestic.

Cao Jun suffered a full defeat in Wuguan earlier, but Ju Yi ignored it.

Ju Yi doesn't care how other people fight, win or lose, what he has to do is to fight his own war well.

The three thousand light-armored dead men in front of the formation showed ferocious faces and murderous aura, and they faced Wuguan with an uncontrollable fighting spirit.

This is the first dead soldier led by Ju Yi.

Climb first, the vanguard of attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold, the first troops to rush to the enemy's city gate are the first to ascend.

As long as it is a tough battle, any vassals will have first-board troops under their tents, but they may not necessarily enter the formation. After the soldiers approach the city, they will assign generals to lead the army to be the first-board troops.

However, Ju Yi under Yuan Shao's tent has an army specially formed for the purpose of breaking through the city. It not only shoulders the task of first ascending, but also is an indomitable army of dead soldiers.

The tough battle is fierce, and only by abandoning all distracting thoughts and fluke psychology can the blood and fighting spirit be stimulated to the maximum extent.

Climb the dead first, and never retreat in a deadly battle. If you don't climb the tower and raise the handsome flag, you will never retreat.

The east of Wuguan is narrow, which is not conducive to attacking the city. If there is no geographical advantage, the advantage of soldiers and horses will be the key to the victory or defeat if there is no favorable location. Quantity advantage.

Looking at the guarded guards on the tower of Wuguan City, Ju Yi smiled coldly and roared angrily.

"Siege!"

Yuan Jun rushed to Wuguan like a tide.

Standing on the tower overlooking the east side, Pang Tong sighed silently, and said in a low voice: "Ju Yi is brave and resourceful, Wuguan only has nearly ten thousand defenders, if there is no reinforcements, it will definitely fall within ten days."

Yan Yan also looked dignified. The vanguard of the siege was not the dead soldiers first, but ordinary soldiers under Ju Yi's command. Obviously Ju Yi was prepared. Good steel is used on the blade. It was used to attack the city at the beginning, and I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties.

It will be more effective to use ordinary soldiers to consume the defense force of Wuguan, and then send out the dead soldiers first when the defenders are exhausted.

The opponent's strategy is clear at a glance, that is, to attack Wuguan by force. After the defenders of Wuguan are exhausted, Wuguan will inevitably fall.

Yan Yan issued a military order to the deputy general beside him.

The lieutenant turned around solemnly to convey the order.

Facing the swarming enemy troops, Wuguan seemed to put on a posture of disarming and surrendering. The [-] archers led by Yan Yan did not shoot the enemy with arrow rain at all. The figures of Pang Tong and Yan Yan seemed to be an empty city.

Looking up at Wuguan, Ju Yi squinted his eyes. He didn't think that the opponent had given up resistance. The current calm was just brewing a more violent storm.

In war, never underestimate the enemy, even if the enemy is weak and weak.

Sure enough, Ju Yi's premonition was confirmed, he opened his eyes wide, wanting to have a panoramic view of the defense strategy of the Wuguan defenders.

A large number of defenders suddenly poured out from the top of Wuguan City, carrying giant trees one after another and throwing them down from the top of Wuguan City.

Wuguan is located on a high place, with a gentle slope to the east. A thick and round giant tree fell from the head of Wuguan city, rolling down with a rumbling sound, overwhelming the defenders.

After repeating this, more than 30 giant trees were thrown down from the top of Wuguan City before stopping temporarily.

To the north of Wuguan is Shaoxi Mountain, not to mention giant trees, even towering ancient trees can be cut down a lot.

The giant log rolled down, collided and crushed many charging enemy troops, and screamed one after another, but it was still difficult to stop the momentum of the enemy troops rushing up.

How many enemies can be crushed by a giant log?ten?twenty?thirty?Fifty?
A sneer appeared on the corner of Ju Yi's mouth.

If you only want to use this method to defend against the enemy, it is simply whimsical.

He has [-] soldiers and horses, and the impact of the wave of giant logs rolling down just now caused no more than [-] of his soldiers and horses to be killed or injured. Now those giant logs are piled up together, but they can't block the route of Yuan Jun's charge at all.

Pang Tong on the head of Wuguan City watched the charging enemy troops continue to rush in regardless of the casualties of their comrades, and the giant logs piled up in the middle were particularly eye-catching.

"Fire arrows."

Pang Tong lightly gave an order.

Ju Yi, who was looking at the battlefield from a distance, looked at the archers at the head of Wuguan City in disbelief.

Archers are an indispensable unit for defending the city.

It's just that Ju Yi didn't expect that the other party actually fired a rocket!

The arrow ignited and flew straight to the enemy's formation. The target was the giant logs piled up together.

boom

When the rocket hit the giant log, the huge pile of logs ignited a fire that soared into the sky, forming a wall of fire, raging like a dragon, raging unhindered.

Ju Yi didn't expect that the giant logs that rolled down from the pass city were drenched in kerosene and entangled in coke.

The fire divided Yuan Jun's charge into two. Yuan Jun who rushed forward began to be shot and killed mercilessly by the Wuguan defenders, while Yuan Jun who was behind was busy digging soil to put out the fire.

Of course, many Yuan Jun who were burned by the fire were also indispensable.

Ju Yi immediately ordered two battalions of soldiers to go to the front to put out the fire. He knew that the troops rushing forward must be doomed.

The fire in the east did not make Pang Tong look proud, but he was more dignified and frowning.

"He didn't withdraw his troops?"

Pang Tong didn't expect Ju Yi to be so tenacious. Faced with the current situation, Ju Yi had two choices. First, withdraw his troops so that he could attack the city after the giant tree turned into ashes.Second, put out the fire and continue to attack the city, but after all, it takes time and energy to put out the fire.

Yan Yan looked down at the Guancheng, and the nearly thousand Yuan Jun who rushed to the front had all been shot to death, and the fire not far away was being extinguished by Yuan Jun, and it couldn't be completed in a short time.

"He wants to take down Wuguan in one go without giving me time to breathe."

Pang Tong looked back at the giant logs and rolling stones piled up in the pass. He expected these enemy defense preparations to delay the enemy for at least half a month. Now Ju Yi was determined not to return, and he wanted to start recalculating the time.

In Guo Jia's strategy, the gains and losses of Wuguan depend on the battle situation at Hangu Pass. Before Pang Tong gets the news from Jia Xu on Hangu Pass, he can't lose Wuguan, otherwise Guo Jia's overall strategy will be in vain. .

"He wants to put out the fire, and I will add fuel to the fire."

Pang Tong's eyes became sharp, and he said to Yan Yan in a deep voice.

Yan Yan understood, and ordered the soldiers to drop the giant log again, and immediately released a rocket to ignite the giant log after throwing it down.

The burning giant logs rolled down one by one, and Yuan Jun, who was extinguishing the fire, did not dare to approach, so he withdrew immediately.

However, after being impacted by the newly fallen giant wood, the giant wood pile that was originally piled together and burning with fire was scattered in all directions, sparks burst out, and the fire became more intense. Many Yuan Jun who did not run far were burned by the fire, and immediately rolled on the ground in an attempt to put out the fire .

Faced with this situation, Ju Yi smiled. The Wuguan defenders were so impatient to stop his army, they obviously panicked.

Now that the situation has been brought under control, no matter how many giant trees roll down, it will be difficult to cause too many casualties to Yuan Jun. As long as the muscles and bones are not injured, Ju Yi can accept it.

From before noon to nightfall, the stalemate outside Wuguan did not stop for a moment.

However, even if Ju Yi wanted to go all out, the soldiers should eat and sleep, or eat, sleep and rest, so when the sky darkened, he could only rest and return to the camp, planning to fight again tomorrow.

Although the soldiers and horses in Wuguan have not been reduced, the reserves of the enemy's supplies are seriously depleted. According to Pang's statistics, as long as five days pass, they can only rely on manpower to defend the city. For Guo Jia, losing troops would be the last thing he wanted to see.

In this regard, Pang Tong can only hope that there will be news from Hangu Pass as soon as possible.

Zhang Jai, who came to Hangu Pass again, was not in a hurry to attack the city, but rested for three days first.

Outsiders seem to be resting, but in fact Zhang Jaw is waiting on the sidelines. He expected that Zhang Liao might take advantage of his unpreparedness to repeat the same trick, but his prediction was in vain. Zhang Liao had no intention of robbing the camp at all.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhang Jai walked out of the big tent and looked at Hangu Pass in the distance. When the breeze was blowing, Zhang Jai suddenly raised his hand, and his movements seemed to want to catch the wind in his hands.

A smile suddenly appeared on the calm expression, Zhang Jai drew out his sword and cut a piece of cloth from his cuff, picked it up and raised it, looking at the direction of the cloth swaying with the wind, Zhang Jai's gaze changed from joy to firmness and confidence.

Hangu Pass, the city will be broken soon!
