- "We also find it very strange. Such weather is not suitable for attacking the city at all, but the Yan thieves are indeed gathering troops outside the city." Liu Ye also looked puzzled.
Cao Cao didn't have time to think too much, so he had to quickly put on his clothes, left the warm house, and headed straight to the city in the severe cold.
At this moment, the front line of the city was on alert. Tens of thousands of Cao's soldiers who had rushed to hear the news were shivering in the cold wind.
Cao Cao, wrapped in a red robe, climbed to the top of the city, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough he saw large and small Chu army formations slowly advancing towards the east gate of Luokou.
Although Cao Cao could not see Yan Liang in the vast sea of ??troops outside the city, he could deeply feel that at this moment, the old enemy was staring at him with a cold look.
In the previous episode, it was clear that the city-breaking cannon was useless, but Yan Liang wanted to attack the city again, and he chose a time when the weather was extremely cold and the ice armor on the city wall was stronger to challenge him. What he did was quite unusual.
Cao Cao knew very well that what Yan Liang was best at was surprising. Now that Yan Liang was attacking out of common sense, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
By now, Cao Cao no longer dared to look down on Yan Liang. He had long since realized how terrifying Yan Liang was.
The Battle of Nanyang, the Battle of Hanzhong, the Battle of Luoyang, the Battle of Tongguan
In the battles that brought his Cao family from strength to decline, Yan Liang's invincible record was enough to make Cao Cao tremble in his dreams.
Cao Cao¡¯s eyes were sunken, his brows were furrowed, and he watched the Chu army approaching uneasily.
A few hundred steps away, Yan Liang was sitting on a red rabbit horse, looking at Cao Jun at the top of the city from a distance, his face cut by a knife. A cold and proud look emerged.
"Push up the water dragon cannon and let Prime Minister Cao open his eyes." Yan Liang raised his whip and shouted.
The orders were passed down layer by layer, and after a while. The Chu army's front army stopped, and the military formation slowly split apart.
Cao Cao and more than 10,000 Cao troops on the city all thought that the Chu army would push the city-breaking cannon forward like last time and continue their useless bombardment of the city.
At this time, those Cao soldiers were shivering from the cold. There is more or less disdain for everything in my heart.
But in the blink of an eye, the disdain in Cao Jun's eyes was quickly replaced by surprise.
In the eyes of thousands of people. The Chu army in front of the city did not push the huge city-breaking cannon in front of the formation, but pushed forward logs one by one.
??And, except for logs. Chu Jun also brought up large pots. In front of the military formation, a cauldron was set up to melt the snow and boil water.
On the top of the city, more than ten thousand Cao soldiers were stunned, and they could not figure out what the Chu army was singing.
Is it possible that these Chu troops actually want to bury pots and make rice in front of the formation, and start a gang on the spot?
"What tricks are you playing?" Cao Cao also had a strange look on his face and turned to Guo Jia beside him. Ask for an explanation.
Guo Jia also looked confused, wondering what kind of trick Yan Liang was playing. We can only wait and see what happens.
The Chu army in front of the formation, in full view of Cao Jun, had nearly a thousand water dragon cannons set up. Next to each water dragon cannon, there was a pot of boiling hot water.
There is no way. In such severe cold weather, the "ammunition" of the water dragon cannon can only be burned and used. It is inevitable that such a "ridiculous" scene will appear in front of the battle array.
Except for the thousands of soldiers who manned the water dragon cannon, only a group of senior generals and counselors knew the secret of the water dragon cannon. The 40,000 soldiers of the Chu army in formation actually did not know the secret at all.
These officers and soldiers of the Chu army, like the enemy troops at the head of the city, were all astonished. Seeing their brothers "burying pots and cooking rice" in front of the formation, they were all at a loss as to what their king was selling in this gourd. medicine.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the water in the pot has boiled, and the gunners began to pour hot water into the water dragon cannon.
A moment later, more than a thousand water dragon cannons were all installed.
Ma Jun, who was in charge of the battle in person, galloped over on his horse, raised his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, the water dragon cannon is ready. Please give the order, Your Majesty."
"Very good." Yan Liang nodded, pointed his riding crop forward, "Fire the water dragon cannon, and give me a fierce spray of water on the traitor Cao."
¡°Squirt water~~¡±
¡°Squirt water~~¡±
The flag of the Central Military Department waved, the soldiers flew away, and the orders were passed down layer by layer.
In an instant, more than a thousand water dragon cannons fired. Countless hot water, like white dragons, rose from the ground, rushed into the air, and roared towards the terrified Cao Jun at the top of the city.
At the head of the city, Cao Cao was stunned when he saw water jets spurting out of the Chu army's logs and crossing a distance of more than a hundred steps to head towards his city.
"What the hell is this!?" Cao Cao exclaimed.
The strong north wind, coupled with the extremely cold temperature, made the water dragons cool down while they were still in the air, and then poured down like heavy rain on the top of the city.
More than ten thousand Cao's troops were unable to dodge, and in an instant they were turned into drowned chickens.
The biting taste spread all over the body in an instant.
The bone-piercing pain was just the beginning. Before Cao Jun had time to savor the bone-piercing pain, the water on his body had quickly condensed into ice, condensing their armor and weapons into their skin.
Panic suddenly arose, and Cao Jun was shocked by the stinging pain. He hurriedly tried to peel off the ice flakes on his body, but the ice flakes stuck to the skin would peel off the skin and flesh together with just a little force, and the ice flakes would be exposed. The flesh and blood were immediately invaded and frozen by the water that would pour down immediately, which was even more painful.
In just a moment, Cao Jun at the top of the city fell into panic.
Cao Cao was lucky. The first wave of water attacks from the Chu army did not hit him. He was only splashed with some water drops.
But the soldiers on the left and right were not so lucky. Almost half of them were hit by the water dragon, and in an instant they fell into the torture of freezing ice.
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly woke up and understood what those logs in front of the Chu army's formation were.
Cao Cao never dreamed that a mere log could spray water so far, and the method of using water to attack the city was even more unbelievable to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao had not yet recovered from his shock, the second wave of water dragons from the Chu army roared towards him.
From the front, a water column rushed straight towards Cao Cao.
At the critical moment, Xu Chu suddenly shouted, snatched the umbrella cover held high by the soldiers, and struggled to hold it in front of Cao Cao.
Poof~~
The oncoming water hit the umbrella cover hard, and Cao Cao was lucky to escape.
Cao Cao was not hit by the water, but the people around him were not so lucky. Many civil servants were splashed by the water, especially Guo Jia, who was splashed with most of his body soaked, and his thin body was even knocked over. On the ground.
"Prime Minister, quickly retreat to the tower!"
Xu Ru yelled, holding up the umbrella cover to block the water, and dragging Cao Cao back into the tower.
At this time, Guo Jia and other civil and military officials also retreated to the tower in embarrassment and hid under the wall.
At this time, Cao Cao managed to calm down and shouted: "Quick, burn everything that can be burned, and quickly light a fire to keep warm."
The soldiers, who had just recovered from the shock, hurriedly collected the flammable materials on the curtains and tables, and gathered several braziers in the tower to light a fire.
A raging fire broke out, and everyone crowded around the brazier to keep warm, wishing they could plunge their bodies into the fire.
On the front line of the city, Cao's soldiers panicked and fled down the city one after another, hiding behind the city wall to avoid the attack of the water flow.
However, all along the city line was covered with ice. The crowded soldiers pushed and shoved each other, and large areas of the city rolled down the stairs. They did not freeze to death, but were trampled by their own family members, killing countless people.
In a short time, all the buildings along the city were deserted, leaving only a few frozen soldiers lying on the ground groaning in pain. They could not hold on for long before they froze to death in the harsh cold.
In the city tower, Cao Cao gradually regained his consciousness. When he saw the soldiers at the top of the city fleeing completely, he was shocked and said: "The soldiers have all fled to avoid the water. If Yan Yan takes the opportunity to attack the city, what should he do?"
"The citythe top of the city is covered with ice. YanYan Thief can't climb the city at all. Hehe just wants to scare us and won't attack the cityat this time." Guo Jia, who looked pale, was trembling. Sui comforted Cao Cao.
Cao Cao felt a little relieved, but not at ease. He quickly ordered to mobilize more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the front line of the city to replace the more than 10,000 soldiers injured by the ice. He was ready to order at any time. Once he discovered that the Chu army was attacking the city, he Immediately attack the city for defense
At this moment, the soldiers of the Chu army outside the city were cheering.
Seeing his king using this incredible method to hit the enemy with great joy, the soldiers of the three armies were all so surprised that they even forgot about the cold in the excitement.
Yan Liang sneered, admiring the miserable state of the enemy at the top of the city with great interest.
"The king's move of flooding the city is really wonderful. I see that all Cao's troops at the top of the city have fled without a trace. Why not take this opportunity to attack the city." Veteran general Zhang Ren shouted excitedly.
Fazheng smiled and said: "General righteousness, don't worry, Cao's army has escaped without a trace, but the walls of Luokou city are completely covered with ice and snow."??It is not easy for our soldiers to climb the city. "
Zhang Ren was startled, and then he realized that the current situation was enough for Cao's army, but it was not conducive to his own army's attack on the city.
At this time, Yan Liang said coldly: "Why are you anxious? I have a water dragon cannon, so why rush to let the soldiers sacrifice themselves? I want to see how long Cao Cao can last."
With that said, Yan Liang ordered the water dragon cannon to attack the city without interruption.
The flood hit the city that day and lasted for half a day. The pouring water actually formed a layer of ice several feet high along the east city. Cao Cao was forced to send troops overnight, and it took him all night to shovel all the ice. .
"It's a pity that Cao Cao's torture has just begun.
In the next few days, Yan Liang began to attack the city with water day and night, and the scope was expanded to within the city wall. At the same time, Ma Jun was also ordered to build more water dragons with a longer range to increase the attack on the city. the power of.
After ten days of flood siege, the entire Luokou City was covered by thick ice from the inside to the outside. The number of Cao's soldiers who died of frostbite in the city was nearly 10,000.
The Luokou Fortress that Cao Cao painstakingly built has turned into a frozen hell.
