Chapter 1096 The arduousness of defending the city(1/2)

 Ma Teng took a look and mocked: "Yuan Benchu ​​was tyrannical all his life. Unexpectedly, the heir he personally selected was only this powerful. If his achievements are not passed down to the next generation, no wonder he was bullied like this."

It is said that the Yuan family ended up in this situation because of internal discord.

However, he thought that it was not just because of the discord, but because the Yuan family members all thought highly of themselves and had no idea that their own strength was just like that of a bird.

It can be seen that no matter how capable I am, if my son is not good enough, he will still be defeated in the end.

"If Lu Bu is defeated like a mountain, I don't believe that Lu Xian can't even shake Xuzhou..." Ma Teng sighed: "This is the gap. The Yuan family was not unjustly defeated!"

And the Yuan family can no longer even hold back their old nest in Jizhou. Now they are reduced to this point when they are attacked by Cao Jun. These brothers are still being used by Sima Yi.

Although it is a last resort, the home field here is not theirs. Isn't this sad enough?!

The Xiliang general was convinced and was about to say something when Ma Teng suddenly changed the subject and said: "So, no matter how talented a father is, it may not necessarily be useful. It's better to stop bothering and find a reliable backer as soon as possible.

, is the long-term solution!"

The Xiliang generals all showed black question mark faces.

What conclusion is this?!

General Ma, you have changed! You were not like this before. You were not angry and willing to submit to Xuzhou?! How did you become such a Ma Teng now?!

It's so natural to lie flat. What does that mean?!

And in the past, I was very unwilling to accept Ma Chao's words from Lu Xian, and always felt that he had sold his son. But now this attitude is wrong.

This is not just selling one’s children to gain glory, but also selling oneself to gain glory?!

Where is your dignity, determination and pride?! What the hell?!

Ma Teng had a natural expression. How should I put it? In many cases, like some small princes and marginal princes, their ability to mount a horse and fight may be a little worse, but their ability to maneuver according to the wind must not be bad. Otherwise, stand still.

If you are on the wrong team, with the wrong person, or if you are too stubborn, the consequences will be tragic!

As a small prince or a marginal prince, you must have a clear understanding. If the situation is unclear when the princes are fighting, that is the golden period when you can develop independently. At that time, it is understandable to be a little crazier and a little ambitious. But if

When the situation gradually becomes clear and the world situation has obvious trends, you must have a clear mind. If you still fail to recognize your own prospects and weight by then, the price must be extremely terrible.

Obviously, Ma Teng is such a person. Maybe he is really old when he is old, and he is really timid when he is timid. However, seeing that the world situation has reached this point, if you still can't see clearly, you will suffer a lot and be beaten.

The beating is light, but if it is beaten too hard, you will die.

He cannot resist the power of the Central Plains. This is a fact.

The war in the Central Plains is also out of his reach. It is not bad to be able to pick up a leak in the middle.

They really can't get involved in all the affairs in the Central Plains. But at least they must follow the big ship, so that they can go more smoothly.

But if you don’t know the weight, or you think too highly of yourself, you will be gone as soon as a gust of wind blows.

Everyone understood and felt a little helpless.

Yes, although you are timid, you have to understand that when it comes to the Central Plains, no one in Xiliang can ever be at home. Just look at Dong Zhuo's fate and you will know. So it is okay to run with a big ship, in case the big ship capsizes

If they can turn around, it will be much easier!

Yuan Shang walked all the way, killing Cao's soldiers while observing the situation in Yecheng.

Bang!

Countless trebuchets hit the city wall heavily in the firelight.

The city wall is already rugged with countless holes, just like a giant. Even though it is tall and majestic, it cannot withstand so many blows.

If this continues, Yecheng may not be optimistic and will not be able to hold on.

Yuan Shang was anxious and wanted to break through and help Yecheng. However, there were too many Cao soldiers on the outside. After killing one, another one came out. After defeating here, reinforcements came from there, endless, like a net, trapping them.

It was difficult for him to advance even an inch. He could only circle around the outside like Ma Teng, looking at the city wall in a hurry!

The scout reported the situation outside to Cao Ren. Cao Ren looked at the city wall and said: "Keep throwing stones! When they are exhausted, climb the ladder again."

Climbing the ladder now means sacrificing your life in vain.

Cao Ren was determined to use heavy weapons first, and beat Yecheng until he lost his temper first. When the city wall can no longer be an obstacle, who can stop Cao Bing's attack on Yecheng!

The huge trebuchet was fixed and operated by several people, and soon countless boulders hit the city wall heavily!

There were countless casualties in Ye City, and the soldiers were in a panic!

With a wound on her head, Chunyu Qiong glanced under the city wall and said, "If we continue to throw stones like this, they will fill up the moat..."

The existence of the moat is to prevent the enemy from climbing the ladder.

But Cao's soldiers kept throwing stones like this, and countless stones were smashed into several pieces, and then scattered on the city wall and under the city wall, falling down, injuring and killing many people, and slowly began to fill up the moat.

This news is frightening.

Gao Lan was even more anxious.

So what is the significance of the existence of the city wall?! What can be resisted is only a few people and horses. If there are not so many people and horses, it can definitely be defended.

How can a man of Cao Ren's size be able to withstand it, and how can he defend it?!

Therefore, when encountering such an enemy, it is basically impossible to fight decisively in a city defense battle, and a city defense battle is definitely not used to resist such a large army. This situation is impossible to occur in wars in history.

Generally speaking, it is a war to destroy a country. When a war to destroy a country reaches this level, it is basically no longer a question of war, but a question of how to surrender. The meaning of war here is even less important, but how to negotiate.

problem. Not many countries will fight like this. Up to this level, it is generally impossible to have any situation where everyone is destroyed. And the breakthrough is only a matter of time, and whether to accept surrender and how to deal with life and death in the city are the decisions of the stronger side, and it is

The only decision.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The problem in Yecheng is that now the main force has been lost, and Yecheng has to reach this point.

They cannot surrender, so now they can only hold on to death. In fact, both of them know in their hearts that it is really impossible for them to keep Cao Jun out.

"Can we hold it for three days?!" Gao Lan gasped and said tiredly: "I'm afraid the limit of the sergeants in the city is only three days..."

The most fearful thing is that within three days, the limit has been reached.

Chunyu Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "...How can we use three days?! Just look at this situation. If we can defend until tomorrow, we have reached the limit. Once Cao Bing orders the city to attack, the sergeants in our city have already been killed and wounded. How can we defeat this situation?

Densely packed Cao soldiers blocked the outside. Once they broke through the city wall and opened the city gate, our city..."

"Cao Jun paid such a high price and was so angry after entering the city, who can bear it?!" Chunyu Qiong murmured.

The higher the cost, the angrier he becomes. With so many people killed by Cao's army, Cao Ren will definitely not stop Cao's soldiers from marching up and down the city to vent their anger.

The two were speechless, with confusion and pain in their eyes.

More often than not, the pain of having no way out and the difficulty of not being able to choose to give up are even more unbearable! Both of them are suffering in their hearts.

The stones thrown by countless trebuchets continued to hit the city wall, creating pits one after another. When the city wall was built, it felt invincible and strong. However, when it was shaken, the panic that aroused in people's hearts was a threat to the city again and again.

The amplification of fear and the collapse of self-confidence in people's hearts.

Can this city wall really withstand such an attack?!

What's more, countless stones crossed the city wall and hit the city, smashing down countless houses and killing countless people. People were fleeing and taking refuge everywhere, and there were wailing and crying everywhere.

Every sound made the soldiers guarding the city burst into tears. It was a panic that aroused sympathy and fear. It destroyed their inner self-confidence again and again! It made them shake and doubt in their hearts, and their firm belief in defending the city also weakened.

It will disintegrate, but if it rises, it will lead to weak legs and thoughts of surrender.

The pressure brought by powerful and large numbers of enemies can be imagined.

And in this trance again and again, I was accidentally hit by rocks, taking away waves of lives.

Some of them can't even say surrender, and they are already dead!

Stones smashed into Ye City, destroying the city walls, falling into the moat, and gradually filling up the city river.

No one knows how long this battle will last?!

They just feel endlessly tired.

The trebuchets on the city wall were also working. Although the number of counterattacks was less than that of Cao's army, they still caused a lot of blows and destroyed several enemy trebuchets. Later, although they gradually lost their accuracy, the trebuchets thrown

The stones also successfully killed many Cao's troops, and there was even a plan to throw stones purposefully in order to hinder Cao's attack. They intercepted the stones in the middle of their army, hoping to attack the enemy while also attacking them.

You can use stones to build a defensive line similar to an obstacle to delay Cao's army's attack on the city!

Of course, this effect is short-term. Because of this, Cao Jun has not launched an siege order for a long time because of concerns. If a wave of siege fails to succeed, it will affect the morale of the army.

If they rush to the city, there may be a problem of insufficient troops and horses. Therefore, the two have achieved their goal. At least before tomorrow, it is certain that Cao Jun will not rush to attack the city.

It's just that the situation on the city is not optimistic, because the stones are limited, and the trebuchets are far less numerous than Cao's army. If this continues, they really can't afford it. They will collapse before Cao's army.

Cao Jun's attack intensity gradually began to decline.

The two of them also breathed a sigh of relief. On the one hand, they ordered the soldiers to take turns eating, drinking and resting. On the other hand, they ordered the men on duty to start replenishing weapons and supplies and seize the time.

Because everyone knows that this is just a gap, the gap between attack and attack.

But even if I can take a breath, I can relax a little.

"General." The general came up to report and said: "There are not many bows and arrows left. Only one third is left. I have ordered people to go to the city to collect the enemy's bows and arrows for military use. However, some of them are damaged.

Much."

Gao Lan didn't look good. If Cao Jun used his bows and arrows to his advantage, their men and horses would suffer a lot!
