Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Guan Ping's new biography

Chapter 36 Controlling Firepower

On the second day, Cao Cao still sent people to urge the three groups of soldiers and horses, insisting that they attack Xiapi City without stopping to contain the troops in Xiapi City. www

It is said that Cao Cao was furious in the army yesterday just because the battle to the west was not going well; because the west gate was guarded by Lu Bu himself, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted when they saw Lu Bu personally going into battle. They were all fearless and fought desperately, and Chen Gong

Cao Cao's ladder was burned down and his soldiers suffered heavy losses.

As for the ramming carts, Chen Gongnai used a long rope to pierce the rocks, flying rocks to hit the carts, and smashed more than a dozen ramming carts one by one at the city gate.

After a day of fierce attack, Cao Cao made no progress and lost seven to eight hundred soldiers. In addition, he was worried about the safety of Xuchang. It can be said that Cao Cao was in dire straits now.[

Under the supervision of Cao Cao's envoy, Zhang Liao was afraid of exposing his flaws, so he tried his best to attack. The earth mountain built by Guan Ping last night also played a big role at this moment.

Zhang Liao specially sent people to crawl on the top of the mountain to monitor the situation in the city, and based on the deployment of troops in the opponent's city, he specifically targeted weak areas to attack. The role of the mountain finally emerged at this moment.

While Zhang Liao's soldiers were fighting in full swing, Guan Ping led his soldiers to lie down in the camp and sleep soundly. Hundreds of soldiers were exhausted from building mountains of earth all night yesterday.

When the scorching sun turned into sunset, Zhang Liao ordered the army to stop the attack. Because of the mountains, today's losses were much less than yesterday, only more than 150 people.

And when the sun completely set on the top of the mountain and the cold night wind blew coldly, the soldiers in the trapped camp started to make a noise after getting enough sleep. The fire-headed army had already come for food. Everyone gathered together and ate in a hurry, and because of the night

It was cold, so Guan Ping asked Zhang Liao for more than a dozen cans of wine to keep out the cold and warm his hands and feet.

After preparations were made, when darkness completely enveloped the land and soldiers on both sides fell asleep, Guan Ping set off with his troops.

According to yesterday's method, we repeated it several times, approaching, beating drums, shouting, and then retreating.

However, Xia Pijun's patience tonight was obviously not as good as yesterday. After only a few rounds, Hou Cheng gave the order not to shoot arrows and to stay on guard.

The soldiers did not object. Because they did not sleep well last night, many soldiers were drowsy when encountering the enemy during the day. They could have survived, but they died in confusion. Only then did everyone realize that maintaining a good sleep is essential.

So important.

Although Guan Ping's strategy worked, the level was actually not high. Because as long as someone with a little bit of eyesight could see a mountain of earth suddenly rising overnight, and then think of the strange situation last night, they wouldn't have to turn their heads.

I can think of the connection.

Fortunately, there is Hou Cheng as an internal agent, otherwise Guan Ping's plan would be a one-time thing.

Because of last night's experience, and because the soldiers had gradually become accustomed to working gropingly at night, the speed increased, and by daybreak, two hills of five meters and three meters were formed.

After eight or nine consecutive days, more and more mountains were built, and six of them were already standing proudly outside Xiapi City.

At this time, Lu Bu's few cronies remembered the strange behavior of their enemy every night, and then realized that these mountains were actually built by them at night.

Those fools had just woken up from a dream and hurriedly ordered Hou Cheng to lead his soldiers and horses to fire arrows every night. Guan Ping gave up then, but there were already six earth mountains, which was enough.
