Chapter 887 Sweeping Yanzhou
"kill!"
As soon as the thunderbolt chariots stopped throwing stones, tens of thousands of Cao's troops rushed forward with shouts of death. Under the leadership of Xiahou Yuan, they launched a fierce attack on Taishan City.
When Sun Li saw this, he was anxious and waved his hand quickly: "Come out quickly, Cao's army is attacking the city!"
The Taishan soldiers who were lying under the parapet to avoid the boulders were all shivering. When they heard Sun Li's shout, they stood up from behind the parapet and charged towards Cao Jun.
However, the Taishan soldiers had just come out from behind the female wall. The archers of Cao's army under the city had already fired thousands of arrows. Arrows raining down from the sky filled the sight of every Taishan soldier.
"ah!"
As soon as the Taishan soldiers rushed out from behind the female wall, countless arrows rained down from the opposite side. The body of the Taishan soldiers who rushed in front was suddenly covered with arrows, which penetrated the leather armor and penetrated into his skin, and appeared. There were countless blood holes, and blood was gurgling out. The whole person looked like a hedgehog that had just been fished out of the bloody water.
Almost all the Taishan soldiers who rushed in the front row suffered a disaster. Arrows rained down from the opposite side and hit them with a "puff puff". Both their bodies and faces were covered with arrows. Suddenly, they were covered with arrows. Unable to die, he immediately let out a heart-rending howl.
"Raise your shield, raise your shield!"
When Sun Li saw this, he hurriedly shouted loudly, but the arrows were too dense. As soon as he took out the leather shield, it was immediately filled with arrows. Each of these Taishan soldiers was extremely panicked, just like the French soldiers in World War I. Facing the German heavy machine guns, who would dare to charge?
"Up to town!"
Under the full cover of the archers, Cao Jun seized the time and attacked the city first.
Under the cover of their own powerful arrows, Cao's soldiers in blue armor finally climbed to the top of the city, showing a ferocious smile.
"Damn it, come on!" Sun Li roared.
Now that Cao Jun has boarded the city, Cao Jun's archers will naturally not be able to continue shooting. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the enemy is indistinguishable from us? As the rain of arrows from Cao Jun stopped, the Taishan soldiers hiding behind the female wall finally breathed a sigh of relief. They grabbed their weapons and rushed towards Cao Jun on the opposite side, fighting in one place.
Sun Li was appointed as the governor of Taishan County, guarding the front line of Yanzhou. Naturally, he had extraordinary martial arts. Later, he became the third Duke of the Wei State, and he once fought with tigers, and his martial arts was very proficient.
He saw the sword in his hand slashing left and right, and in the blink of an eye, three or four Cao soldiers died in his hands.
"What a thief, how dare you kill my soldiers?"
When Xia Houyuan saw Sun Li being so brave, he was immediately furious. Without saying a word, he rushed forward with his long sword, and suddenly slashed out with the sword, like a thunderbolt.
Master!
Sun Li frowned and blocked the sword with a clang, feeling his arms go numb.
"Um?"
Xia Houyuan exclaimed: "Good boy, you have some skills, come again!"
Xia Houyuan and Sun Li were fighting in one place, while Cao's soldiers and Taishan's soldiers were fighting in one place on top of the city. The two sides fought for it, and a fierce fight began on the small square inch of land on the top of the city.
"ah!"
Taishan soldiers defended the city and originally had an advantage, but Cao Cao brought too many soldiers and horses this time. Nearly 10,000 infantry climbed on the ladders, clinging to the ladders, and surrounded Taishan City. A fierce attack was launched on Taishan City.
One after another, Cao's soldiers appeared on the top of the city, constantly reinforcing the troops who had ascended first. Therefore, the number of Cao's troops became more and more, and they gradually gained a numerical advantage over Taishan's soldiers.
There are only more than 3,000 Taishan soldiers in the city, but there are as many as 10,000 Cao soldiers attacking the city. How to resist? As the number of reinforcements from Cao's soldiers increased, the Taishan soldiers on the city gradually felt the pressure, and there were more and more casualties.
Gradually, the top of the city turned almost completely blue. The number of Cao's troops was increasing, but the Taishan soldiers gritted their teeth and persisted, and the number of casualties rose sharply.
"General, we can't hold on any longer, retreat quickly. We'll keep the green hills, so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
Sun Li was furious: "Damn it, you are so angry with me!"
But we can't just die fighting here. Sun Li frowned and waved his hand: "Brothers, stop fighting to the death and retreat with me!"
When Xia Houyuan saw that Sun Li was about to run, he naturally followed him reluctantly. He suddenly slashed out the long knife in his hand.
The west gate of Taishan City was suddenly opened, and Sun Li fled with nearly a thousand remaining soldiers. Taishan City was completely captured by Cao's army, and a large flag with the word Cao was planted on the top of the city, fluttering in the wind.
"Prime Minister, do you want to send out tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue the enemy?" Cao Chun asked from the side.
Cao Cao understood that to conquer the world, he must have a full range of military horses. Therefore, in addition to training his naval forces in Jiangdong and recruiting the Qingzhou Army, he also specially allocated funds to form a cavalry, with his younger brother Cao Chun as the commander, and his adopted sons Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu. He is the deputy, and from top to bottom they are all cavalry units under the control of the Cao family, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
As the name suggests, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are divided into Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry, which are a combination of heavy cavalry and light cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry. There are a thousand people, all wearing armor and cavalry, and hundreds of millions of dollars are spent. The plan made Xun Yu very dissatisfied.
Cao Cao waved his hand: "No, it's not worth exposing the secret of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to this enemy. If someone escapes and the enemy learns the secret of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, our army will have no trump card."
"After a little repair, I will leave two thousand soldiers to defend the city. The rest of the army will continue to advance with me. We will sweep Yanzhou as soon as possible and direct our troops towards Luoyang!" Cao Cao said boldly.
After Cao Jun made some repairs in Taishan County, he used it as a grain and grass transfer base. After leaving two thousand soldiers to guard it, Cao Cao immediately led an army of more than 40,000 to launch a fierce attack on Yanzhou.
The general who guarded Yanzhou was Yu Jin, but Cao's army was attacking from the east and west this time. On the surface, Cao Ren was asked to use his banner to storm Jingzhou, but in fact, Cao Cao led his best troops to come out, and the troops were directed at Yanzhou, so the momentum was overwhelming.
After Taishan County was captured, Rencheng State, Dongping State, and Shanyang County all fell one after another under the fierce attack of Cao's army.
Cao's army gathered this time, and the front of the army was like a sharp knife, which was naturally indestructible.
At this time, Dongjun, Puyang City.
"General Yu, Grand Administrator Sun of Taishan County wants to see you!"
A soldier suddenly rushed into the meeting hall and loudly reported to Jin.
"Sun Li?"
Yu Jin frowned and looked at Xu Shu: Sun Li is not stationed in Taishan County, so what is he doing here?
Xu Shu said: "General Yu, let's invite Prefect Sun in first. We will know by then."
Yu Jin nodded and said, "Let Sun Li come see me!"
"General Yu, the last general is incompetent and has lost Taishan County!"
