The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 33
Sunset, outside Xuchang City,
The soldiers on both sides heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of the golden bell.

This fortified battle lasted for a full day, filled with gunpowder smoke, blood flowing, broken arms and stumps everywhere, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Darkness covers the camp,

A bonfire burned in an iron basin.

The expressions of many soldiers were a little numb, and many of them were sobbing softly, their bodies trembling.

Today, they saw the cruelty of the battlefield and the despair of their comrades before they died in battle. They were a little scared, they were a little homesick, and they didn't want to continue fighting.

Of course, there are also a few brave ones who boast about how brave they are and think about how to become a general.

Zhang Xiu held his saber and patrolled around the camp, comforting the group of young people who were only [-] or [-] years old, and encouraging the group of warriors who had left their homes.

For a long time, in the tent,

All the generals gathered with their swords in hand, waiting for a lecture.

Zhang Xiu glanced around, and said in a heavy voice: "Everyone, our army suffered heavy casualties in the attack on the city today. I wonder if you have a good plan to help me break the city?"

All the generals looked at each other, but bowed their heads without saying a word.

At a time like this, he could only fight desperately, and it would be unrealistic to try to lure Xun Yu out with tricks.

"My lord, the walls of Xuchang City are high and thick, and the damage caused by storming remains high. It's better to build a wall of earth and shoot from a height, and send people to dig tunnels and sneak into the city."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wenpin gestured.

"This plan is impossible. Now that the news of our troops coming to Xuchang has spread throughout Yanyu, I am afraid that Cao Cao is leading the army back to help, and General Cao, who is in charge of resisting Yuan Shu and Lv Bu, has already sent troops to assist Xuchang."

"Xu thinks that if we can't attack Xuchang in three more days at most, our army should retreat slowly, split up and plunder them, loot all the west of Yingchuan, and move the young and strong women and children to Nanyang. This is a great good."

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to answer, Jia Xu clasped his fists and said admonishingly.

Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement. It would be best if he could defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, but if he couldn't, then he couldn't love to fight. Otherwise, Cao Cao's three armies would return to defend Xuchang, and it might not be so easy for him to leave.

"Wenhe, in three days, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Xuchang is the foundation of Cao Cao. No matter how much our army lures the enemy, it will be useless. We can only attack by force." Jia Xu shook his head, Xun Yu dared not take risks at this time.

"storm……"

Zhang Xiu clenched her five fingers involuntarily.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the storm is a hell on earth, it is simply a blood grinder, where countless soldiers fell forever, and the desperate eyes Zhang Xiu in their dying eyes can still be vividly seen.

"Order the three armies to rest for one night, and attack Xuchang in the next day. If it is not broken, it will not be returned."

Zhang Xiu gritted his steel teeth and said fiercely.

"promise!"

All the generals clasped their fists in unison, showing the will to die.

…………

Tianming,

Under the city of Xuchang.

Listening to the passionate drums, looking at the banners that blotted out the sun, and looking at the imposing soldiers, Cao Jun's morale also dropped and he was a little panicked.

A stone's throw away,

At this time, countless sacks were piled up in front of the armed forces.

Countless soldiers rushed to rush, all holding dry firewood in their arms, piled up on the countless sacks in an orderly manner.

"Lingjun, what is Zhang Xiu doing?"

Xiahou Dun squinted his one eye, somewhat apprehensive in his heart.

Xun Yu pursed the corners of his lips, shook his head lightly, and immediately said: "Order the three armies, cheer me up, the bandits are full of tricks, I'm afraid there will be some tricks."

Xun Yu was also afraid, he couldn't do it.

under the city,

Jia Xu was so confused.

Why do these sacks look so familiar?
Could this... this horse riding man be the food and grass of the three armies?
"Gudu!"

"Master...my lord, what, what we burned is..." Jia Xu swallowed, not sure.

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but reined in his horse and went forward, scanning the three armies with eyes like torches, and then shouted violently: "Everyone, Xu Chang is the root of Cao's bandits, and now Cao's army is retreating into a corner, avoiding and not fighting."

"Only the brave warriors can break through the city."

"After the city is broken, all the gold and silver in the city, Mejill and others will be taken."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The morale of the three armies skyrocketed, and everyone was blushing and a little excited.Gold, silver and beautiful concubines are all taken, one must know that there are countless families in Xuchang City, it can be said that as long as the city is destroyed, they will surely become rich and powerful.

Seeing that the morale was good, Zhang Xiu immediately drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Today, Xuchang will be taken, and if it is not destroyed, it will not be returned. To show that our army is united, the special general took out all the rations, and fought to the death."

When the words came out, the soldiers of the three armies spoke in unison.

"Fight to the death, if you don't break it, you won't pay it back!"

"Fight to the death, if you don't break it, you won't pay it back!"

"Okay! If we can't attack Xuchang today, we will all be killed if we attack." Zhang Xiu said with a high spirit, thrusting his sharp sword upside down in front of him, "Come here, light the fire."

As the words came out, all the soldiers were silent, but their eyes were full of death.

With these words, their fear subsided, and instead they were filled with enthusiasm.

Jia Xu twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling horrified in her heart, the lord is a bit ruthless in breaking the boat?Since ancient times, has anyone actively burned food and grass to inspire fighting spirit?
Isn't this a mess?Accidentally wiped out the whole army.

city ​​head,

The corners of Xun Yu's mouth also kept twitching.

Xu Chu pursed the corners of his mouth, stared at the bull-like eyes and said in amazement: "Lingjun, Zhang Xiu really burned the food and grass of the three armies, right?"

Xun Yu shook his head, and said vigilantly: "Jia Xu is full of tricks, I'm afraid this is another trick of his, don't be fooled."

Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and other generals nodded in unison, they were somewhat shadowed.

Of course, if Jia Xu knew this, I'm afraid he would spit out a mouthful of old blood, he was wronged!

"Order the three armies to defend Xuchang to the death." Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

at this time,

The raging fire crazily devoured the piles of food and grass, and the soldiers of the three armies were fiery and stern.

Zhang Xiu pointed at the long spear in his hand, and shouted violently: "All the soldiers obey the order, kill!!!"

When the words fell, Wenpin Huang Zhong and other generals should all drink together, and lead their own infantry to charge forward.

For a time, there was a huge momentum.

Thousands of soldiers charged.

The archers desperately suppressed the defenders at the top of the city and relieved the pressure on the infantry charging forward.The frontal pawns showed fierce faces one by one, biting the blade in their mouths, and climbing with hands and feet.

But the city of Xuchang is high,

The defenders at the top of the city were not to be outdone, and dropped rolling logs and rocks one after another. Anyone who was hit would vomit blood and fall off the top of the city, and then died.

Fighting, screaming, and countless people screaming and wailing.

The blood once again stained Xuchang city red, and countless soldiers died here forever.

…………

"Hurry up, the enemy army is rushing up, boiling oil, where is the boiling oil?"

"Lingjun, the western wall is in a hurry, the enemy army is rushing up."

Stabbing the soldier rushing to death with a sword, Xun Yu glanced around in a daze, seeing that there were not many available soldiers.

Moreover, the enemy army was not afraid of death, and Zhang Xiu personally supervised the battle. The defense lines on the east, west and south sides were in danger. Xuchang would definitely be breached within an hour at most.

"Xiahouyuan, you immediately bring a group of soldiers to reinforce the western wall. You must repel the enemy, or come to see me." Xun Yu shouted anxiously, regardless of the blood on his cheek.

"Cao Hong, you lead a hundred people, follow me into the city quickly." After Xun Yu finished speaking, he walked away quickly with his sword in hand.

He knew that he couldn't go on like this.

Walking quickly on the stone road in the city, Xun Yu turned his head and shouted anxiously: "Cao Hong, hurry up and lead the army to summon the merchants from aristocratic families in the city."

"Summon them? Does your lord want them to assist in defending the city? But these handsome men are always selfish, how could they help our army defend the city?" Cao Hong followed quickly.

"Hmph, in the past they could have been allowed to do so, but today they have to guard if they don't. If it's really not possible, just kill chickens to make an example to monkeys." Xun Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he never suggested doing this.

But Cao Cao's welcome to the emperor is a big event, and the revival of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner. He doesn't want to be defeated by the little Zhang Xiu.

"Kill the chickens to scare the monkeys? But what if they join forces to mutiny?" Cao Hong asked anxiously.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu is just a common man, and the lord will come to Xuchang in a few days, and he will be accompanied by the emperor. They are not fools. How dare they rebel when they are so flattering?" Xun Yu didn't think so.

If the attacker is Yuan Shao, then the aristocratic families in the city will mutiny and rebel without forcing, but the opposite is just Zhang Xiu, although he is powerful, he is not a member of the aristocratic family.

"No, the last general will do it."
