Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start

The sun gradually moved westward, and the day's fierce battle finally came to an end.

Xue Rengui looked at Cao Bing who was receding like a tide, and let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, he never thought that Cao Jun would be so fierce and desperate.

If he hadn't led the soldiers to the death, I'm afraid this city wall would be really dangerous today.

"General!"

The voice of Lieutenant General Zhang came from a distance.

At this time, he was covered in blood, and his face was exhausted. He came to Xue Rengui and gave a military salute, and said, "Today there are no less than 3,000 casualties. These Cao soldiers are not afraid of death at all. I don't know why they are like this about Taishan City. The persistence seems to have to be taken down.

It was the first time for Xue Rengui to have injured 3,000 people in one day's battle.

His "one-three-zero" brows were even tighter: "I didn't expect Cao Jun to be like this, but our good Erlang in Jizhou is not a vegetarian, we have suffered so many casualties, I'm afraid they will attack the city even more. Even if it consumes the last person, this general will never be able to give up Mount Tai.99

"The task that Your Majesty has given me is to not lose Mount Tai no matter what, this is my duty, and it is also the duty of my 40,000 soldiers in Mount Tai.

Vice-General Zhang nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, General, the brothers have long been prepared and are willing to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty at any time. 35

Vice-General Zhang's words are not bluff, but real words. In the second half of today's battle, the soldiers have long been red-eyed, and they don't care about anything at all.

Xue Rengui looked at the night sky, pondered for a moment, called Vice-General Zhang to him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Vice-General Zhang had a puzzled look on his face at first, but the next moment his face showed joy, and he said in surprise: "General's trick is too much..."

Before he could finish his words, Xue Rengui hurriedly motioned for him to shut up: "This is a trick that Your Majesty gave me to press the bottom of the box, and I have someone reserve a lot, just waiting for us to use it when we can't hold it any longer."

"Originally, these days, I saw that Cao Jun's desire to attack was not strong, so I didn't take it out. I will use it tomorrow. I can guarantee that Cao Jun can drink a pot. I don't believe they dare to give up their lives."

Lieutenant General Zhang smiled, called a group of soldiers, turned around and went down the tower.

Inside the Cao army camp.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Dian Wei gritted his teeth and ordered to cremate them all.

In this era, the treatment of the dead is still very timely, and I don't know when it started. The soldiers who died on the day will never stay overnight, otherwise it will cause some infectious diseases, and there will be no cure.

After Dian Wei's order was issued, the entire Cao Jun camp was in a flash of fire.

The surrounding soldiers watched their companions who were still laughing and joking the day before being buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

They didn't know it would be the same for them that day, but they had no way back.

Seeing that the corpse had been cremated, Dian Wei slowly walked towards the central army tent.

His heart was very heavy, he knew that the deaths of these soldiers were sacrificed for the next action, but he dared not speak about such a confidential plan, nor could he say it.

Otherwise, who is willing to continue to rush forward if they clearly know that it is the sound of the east and the west?

to the camp.

Guo Jia, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun had long been waiting for Dian Wei.

Seemingly feeling that his mood was a little low, Cao Ren stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Dian, I can understand your mood very well, but fighting always requires sacrifice and death."

"For the great cause of the lord, these casualties are inevitable!"

Dian Wei nodded slowly, why didn't he understand this?

Just seeing the heavy casualties today added a bit of sadness.

"Master, what do you think of the situation today? Are we going to start action?" Cao Ren turned his head and said to Guo Jia.

He didn't mention taking down Mount Tai City, because he also knew that Mount Tai City was a tough bone to crack. Even if he could take it down, how many of the 80,000 troops would be able to survive?

You must know that today is only a day's work, and the casualties are approaching more than 8,000 people. How long can these 80,000 people hold on? Therefore, only the next roundabout strategy can be implemented...

Guo Jia shook his head: "It's not enough. For the other defenders, today is already extremely dangerous, and they don't dare to leave the city at all, but for a famous general like Xue Rengui, they have to continue to attack."

"Continue the attack?"

Dian Wei almost exclaimed.

Originally, he thought that a day of onslaught was already very uncomfortable, why did he have to come another day?

"Master, today's casualties are heavy, if we continue to attack like this, how can we have the strength to threaten Liu Bian?

Guo Jia's face was calm, he understood Dian Wei's mood very well, but the war was like this, and the necessary sacrifice could not be avoided anyway.

He sighed: "That's what happened on the battlefield. Now Xue Rengui in the city is not afraid of being attacked by us. If the army bypasses Taishan City at this time, then Xue Rengui will attack, what should we do? Could he let him attack us? The back road is cut off? It won't be the thousands of people who will be lost then!"

"General Dian, wars have been so cruel since ancient times, what can I do?

Guo Jia's face was full of helplessness. If there was a good way, why would he have to kill people to pile it up?

Xiahou Dun felt the pain in Dian Wei's heart, he sighed, and slowly stepped forward: "This is no wonder the military division, I will lead the troops to attack tomorrow, General Dian has a good rest for a day. 1.8"

Seeing the soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices, this is something that no general would want to see, but Xiahou Dun just stood up.

This gave Dian Wei a trace of comfort in his heart.

Today's Xiahou Dun is injured, how can he be replaced?

Dian Wei shook his head: "Brother Xiahou's kindness is appreciated by me, but you haven't been very good, how can you go up?"

"Tomorrow morning I will continue to lead the soldiers to attack the city!!""

After saying this, Dian Wei turned his head and walked out of the camp.

Seeing that his body was slightly hunched, Guo Jia felt even more sour in his heart.

Silent all night.

On the second day, when the dawn of the sun shone on the earth again, Cao's army gathered again, facing the rising sun and launched an attack on Taishan City.
