Chapter 1238 Break Xudu!
After beheading the soldier captain Xia Houji, Xun sighed, feeling a little tired.
He boarded the tower and looked to the south.
"Dark clouds gather in the south, and the sky is filled with murderous aura. I'm afraid General Xia Houyuan..."
Xun shook his head, but did not finish.
...
"Dogs are really too shrewd!"
Bai Xiaowen sighed and exited the remote control state.
It's no wonder that every time Cao Cao went out to fight in the Romance, he entrusted Xun Guo with the heavy responsibility for the rear.
Xu Du was empty, but with just a few thousand old, weak and remnant soldiers, Bai Xiaowen was helpless.
In fact, this is also related to the ancient China's city defense system. In addition to the moat, the ancient China city has high walls and thick walls. It also has a series of city defense facilities such as towers, arrow towers, turrets, and urns, which are extremely beneficial to the defenders. .
Coupled with a leader who is good at defending the city, it is really impenetrable.
On the attacking side, apart from being surrounded on all sides and waiting for the food in the city to run out, they had no choice but to fill it with their lives.
"The surprise attack on Xudu was thwarted. We still underestimate the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms," Bai Xiaowen concluded earnestly, "The aborigines are not easy to bully, and the resourcefulness and strategies of many celebrities of the Three Kingdoms are stronger than the awakened ones! The awakened ones The only advantage is that it broadens your horizons and enriches your knowledge.”
"Fortunately, we made two-handed preparations before we set off..."
Bai Xiaowen looked to the northwest, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Now, we have to wait for the Youzhou army to arrive and attack Xudu by force."
Bai Xiaowen took out the geographical map of mountains and rivers, and inquired about Jiao Touch's location.
The march of the 20,000 Youzhou Army was quite smooth. After passing Mengjin, they launched a rapid march and accelerated southward. Now they have arrived in Xinzheng.
Xinzheng is in the north of Yingchuan County. After crossing Xinzheng, follow the Wei (three tones of wei) water to the east, and you will soon reach Yanling Pass.
This is definitely good news.
Another piece of good news is that the Baihuang team surrounded the spot for reinforcements, and Xia Houyuan was killed in an ambush.
Xia Houyuan was the prefect of Yingchuan, in charge of the defense of Yingchuan and even Yuzhou. Once he died, the defenders in the local cities of Yingchuan would have no leader, and the speed of assembly would be much slower. Correspondingly, Chenliu, Qiaojun and other surrounding counties will be delayed even more when they hear the news and come to the rescue.
Bai Xiaowen calculated that it would take a day or two for the local defenders in Yingchuan to realize the crisis in Xudu; it would take longer for other counties to gather troops.
In this way, the Youzhou army arrived much faster.
Bai Xiaowen ordered Cecilia to lead the hussars, divided into two groups to rotate, and maintain the harassment tactics, which made Xudu's defenders exhausted.
He himself borrowed Cecilia's Bai Yujing horse card, rode Bai Yujing to speed up to Xinzheng, and joined the Youzhou army one step ahead!
If there is no geographical map of mountains and rivers, such a confluence is not advisable, because the Youzhou army is also constantly marching, and Bai Xiaowen may go on a different route from the army alone.
But with the positioning function of the geographical map of mountains and rivers,
Bai Xiaowen can constantly correct the course!
After crossing the Weishui River, in the wilderness in the middle of Xinzheng and Yanling Pass, Bai Xiaowen finally joined the Youzhou army.
At this time, the Youzhou army had been marching for three hours, almost exhausted, the whole army was exhausted, and the morale was low.
Although Bai Xiaowen's appearance has slightly improved morale, the loss of physical strength cannot be made up for by spiritual will.
"My lord, the army needs to rest for at least two hours to recover their strength before they can continue marching." Jiao Touch said awkwardly.
Two hours is already the time after Jiao Touch has compressed as much as possible. After all, soldiers in the spirit world are no better than awakened ones. Even though they are physically stronger than ordinary people, they still have to eat and drink regularly, otherwise the food and grass in the Three Kingdoms plane will not be so important.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No! Take half an hour at most."
"Half an hour? It's only enough to bury the pot and cook." Jiao Touch said in surprise.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "A lone army goes deep into the enemy's important place, and the soldiers are very fast. You came all the way from Mengjin, and you passed through the area under the jurisdiction of Cao Jun. Cao Jun must have heard about the movements along the way! If you delay any longer, you will be killed by the king of the four realms." Surrounded by teachers, it will be too late to regret."
"Everything is as the young master said, but the general is worried that the soldiers rushed to Xudu in such a hurry, they are already at the end of their strength and have no strength to fight."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "You don't have to worry about this!"
Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan could only do as they were told.
After resting for half an hour, he could only bury the pot for cooking and gave an order that he could not sleep, and the Youzhou soldiers immediately complained.
But complaints are nothing but complaints, and the soldiers can only hurry up, eat dry food, pour clean water, and sit on the ground to seize this precious hour of rest.
Half an hour later, the Chinese army ordered to move out.
The Youzhou soldiers stepped forward with their sore legs, needless to say they felt resentment in their hearts.
However, a blue ray of light spread out from the central army, and every soldier passing by felt that his body was much lighter, as if pushed by an invisible force, he walked faster!
The soldiers of Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan shouted in unison:
"My son's divine art, God bless our army!"
"My son's divine art, God bless our army!"
The Youzhou soldiers suddenly realized that this was the magical Taoism of the second son Yuan Xi.
After such a toss, although there was no "thrilling cheers", the morale of the Youzhou Army has actually improved a bit.
Bai Xiaowen gave another order to attack Xudu, and the first one to reach the top of the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and be promoted to three levels in a row!
After using the "transition to the army strategy" once, coupled with the promise of a bounty for the official, it finally lifted the low morale of the Youzhou Army.
The army marched towards Xudu with an additional 40% acceleration! The remaining journey, which was originally expected to take two hours, arrived successfully in just over an hour.
The 20,000 army and the 800 winged cavalry joined together, and their prestige was greatly enhanced.
Seeing that the morale was available, Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered to beat the drums and launch a strong attack on Xu Du!
This time, with the backing of a large army, the role of the Awakened as a vanguard was fully reflected.
Li Shuyi climbed on the cloud shoes and flew across the upper air, then swooped down and killed the top of the wall.
Bai Xiaowen airdropped all the melee summoned creatures at a fixed point, and they also landed at the top of the city.
Afterwards, it was Li Shuyi who was the arrow, summoning creatures to guard the two wings, and went all the way to the various archery towers, killing the enemy's archers and pulling out the firepower.
An army of 20,000, carrying ladders, attacked the city with ants.
Xudu's defenders have been harassed for days, and they haven't even had a peaceful night's sleep. Of course, their combat effectiveness is not at its peak. What's more, they are old, weak and remnant soldiers, and they can't be called elites at all!
The boiling oil and rolling wood and beating stones that Xun prepared in advance did not work.
Because Bai Xiaowen activated deterrence at a critical moment!
The deterrence that lasted for a little more than a minute at most was inconspicuous in a siege battle, but it could exert a terrifying effect when used at a critical moment!
The effect is that...
The first batch of Youzhou soldiers climbed to the top of the city relying on the ladder!
The head of the city fell into a melee, and the advantage of the defenders no longer existed. Then, the second and third batches of Youzhou soldiers ascended the city.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen's mental force field was removed, and the defenders woke up, but it was too late!
Xun drew his sword in his hand and shouted to kill the thief.
"Lingjun, let's go!"
He forcibly supported Xun on the left and right, and retreated to the city.
Xudu's north city wall has been declared lost! Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan led the first batch of Youzhou troops into the city, and started street fighting with the old and weak defenders in the city, and the battle line was advancing rapidly.
Soon, the earth, rock and sandbags blocking the gate were removed, and the hussars took the lead, and most of the Youzhou Army marched into the city!
Xu Du, the city is broken!
