The tragic siege battle continued, and the north wall of Qiyang was full of Cao's siege equipment. Ladder siege towers and the like are not so much a layer of the city wall as it is a layer of the city wall.

As for the ground, it was already covered with a layer of Cao Jun's corpse. It was time to call for the troops to be withdrawn under normal circumstances, but Cao Cao just looked coldly at the soldiers under his command who were constantly expelled and killed. only paid attention to the weakening of the offensive there, and continued to send more strong generals to make up for it.

The battlefield can no longer be described as white-hot, and the Cao army has begun to be forced to carry the corpses of the Cao soldiers who blocked the road outside the city. From time to time, there was the sound of a hard bow breaking from the top of the city. The two sergeants have ignored all unnecessary details and are only going about their jobs.

The carcass bearer could not avoid the arrows of the rocks and wood, so he just dragged the corpse and left. The archers didn't bother to shoot the unobstructed porters, but only the ant-attached soldiers who were very threatening in the vicinity.

More than once, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be eager to implement a strategy and change the tide of the battle. But Chen Gong, who was accustomed to seeing the scene of fighting, kept pulling him until the Cao army sent elite Qingzhou soldiers, Xiahou Yuan and other Cao army generals personally led the elite soldiers of the headquarters to fight in the city, and Gao Shun transferred the camp to prepare under the city, Chen Gong nodded to Zhang Xiu.

At that moment, Zhang Xiu left the banner of the Chinese army in the city tower, called the two generals Cao Xing and Li Feng, and commanded the 4,000 Xiliang iron cavalry that had already been ready to go, as well as the 20,000 elites of the Yongliang army who had never gone to the city to fight, went out of the east city gate, and marched directly to Zhang Liao's east camp.

As soon as the gate of Zhang Xiujun's Dongcheng City was opened, a scout reported to Cao Cao, and Xun Yu beside him exclaimed: "Duke Ming, Xiahoudun's left army is in danger!" Hurry up and send elite horsemen to intercept and kill! ”

Cao Cao's face only changed for a moment, but he just watched a member of the city tower, General Hu and a black-faced general, also join the battle group to block his strong generals and elite soldiers, and he didn't mean to give an order.

Seeing that Cao Cao was unmoved, Xun You directly stomped his feet and said urgently: "Ming Gong! This tower will definitely not be able to be captured today! Although our army has a lot of armaments, the enemy occupies a favorable position, and the commander of the guard is Gao Shun, a general who is good at attacking and defending, and Zhang Xiu himself is in charge. Even though more than 20,000 people are out of the city now, there are still 40,000 embroidered main forces in the city, and it is difficult for us to win it for a while! ”

"Now it seems that Zhang Xiu may have seen through our army's plan to attack the west! Or quickly send General Cao Chun to lead the headquarters of the elite cavalry to help the left army General Xiahoudun, Ming Gong, you lead this tens of thousands of siege troops to press behind, and Zhang Xiujun can be invincible! Otherwise, the Xiliang soldiers, who are better at field warfare than our army, go to attack the 40,000 old and weak of General Xiahoudun's bluff, plus the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao, it is enough to break through the left flank of our army in one hour, and then Zhang Xiu's army has the advantage of strength and comes with victory, it will be too late! ”

Seeing Xun You's anxious appearance, Cao Cao just smiled, got up from the chariot used for command, stood with his hands in front of the city wall, and let out a long breath: "Fengxiao, a few of our distinguished guests didn't visit Mr. Xun last night, you ask Mr. Xun for peace on behalf of those guests!" ”

Guo Jia on the side received the order and was about to explain to Xun You. Xun You was very confused, but he didn't want to care about any guest and host at the moment, so he opened his mouth to Guo Jia first: "Fengxiao, you also hurry up and persuade Ming Gong, although the right army Cao Hong has already sent good news, but he also said that he can't gnaw the well-guarded Huainan Army under Ji Ling in three or four hours!" ”

Guo Jia just smiled and didn't panic: "Did Gongda ever know who Zhang Xiu's think tank was now?" ”

"Jia Xu and Chen Gong!" Xun You replied.

"Yes, Jia Xu's wisdom is higher than that of Chen Gong, but he is only good at planning people's hearts, and when it comes to marching and fighting, he is not as good as Chen Gong. But Chen Gong has clashed with our army many times, so Mr. Xun You and all the civil and military forces of our army must also know a little about him. In the same way, Chen Gong also knows our army well, especially Ming Gong. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao also opened his mouth: "Yes, this person knows my heart very well, and no one in the world knows me better!" However, no matter whether he is embarrassed or self-sufficient, this person has always refused to accompany me, conspire with me, and make suggestions for me! ”

Cao Cao's face was full of regret, but Xun You understood something, and couldn't help but say: "Could it be that Ming Gong had already expected that Chen Gong would see through our army's plan to attack the west?" ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.

……

On the other side, Zhang Xiu commanded his absolute main force, 4,000 well-equipped Xiliang iron cavalry, and 20,000 elite soldiers, mostly from Xiliang, and attacked the left flank of Cao's army, which was attacking Zhang Liao.

According to Zhang Liao's report, Zhang Xiu learned that the general of Cao's army and horses was Xiahoudun, and Li Dianlejin was also the deputy general. And the Cao army attacked Ji Ling's right flank, with Cao Hong as the commander and Xu Huang as the deputy.

Coupled with Cao Jun's generals in the Chinese army, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and others, Zhang Xiu silently lined up the deployment of Cao's generals in his heart, confirming that there was no doubt that Cao Jun was attacking the east and west with his voice, and he was even more warlike.

Thinking that he would lead 20,000 elites and insert Xiahoudun's 40,000 Cao troops from the side, coupled with Zhang Liao's frontal covering, he would definitely break Xiahoudun.

Then, it will join Zhang Liao's army, return to the division and Gao Shun to flank Cao's army in front and back. You can defeat the main force of the Cao army. As for the remaining 100,000 horses of Cao's army, as long as the Huainan army, which is generally low and enduring, can entangle Cao Hong, he will continue to attack with his troops. Then there was a complete victory, which dealt a heavy blow to the vitality of the Cao army and broke the myth of the invincibility of the Cao army.

In the end, he could attack in four ways and snatch Cao Cao's territory. Take Xuchang directly, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. At that time, Mr. Cao will be out of breath, and the world will have to call himself Mr. Zhang. Then he launched the Battle of Guandu, destroyed Yuan Shao, and then ......

Ahem, thinking too far. Zhang Xiu, who secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked left and right, and saw that Li Feng and Cao Xing only cared about leading the march, and did not see the bright smile they showed. Correct the color, shoot the horse and march!

Hmph, Cao Cao, what if you know at this time that I have seen through your plan? Your Chinese army is only 100,000 people, and if you send 40,000 or 50,000 people to rescue Xiahoudun, not to mention whether you will have time to catch up with the field marching speed of my iron cavalry and Xiliang soldiers, even if you arrive, I dare to continue the field battle with you, because I have already taken the lead in the initiative to attack!

On the battlefield, the first opportunity is very important, because in the same strength, as long as you take the lead, you can always press the opponent to fight. Maybe it's small at the beginning, but as long as you have an advantage, you will get bigger and bigger if you keep fighting!

Of course, if you dare to send more than 50,000 people, Gao Shun doesn't mind letting Zhou Cang, who is in the city, lead the remaining 2,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry as the vanguard and fight back out of the city. Now that your spirit of continuous siege has been reduced, the Cao army caused by your overly supportive style of play is now more than twice as many casualties as Zhang Xiujun's, and can you withstand the attack of Gao Shun's trapped camp?

Not to mention, the generals of your Chinese army who can lead the army are all participating in climbing the wall with ants at the moment, and they can't withdraw for a while.

I Zhang Xiu is not talented, that is, when you Cao Cao has no soldiers and no generals to adjust, concentrate superior forces, first break your army, gain local advantages, and then gain global advantages!

What Napoleon said: The art of war consists in making your strength suddenly outrun the other side in the right place at the right time!

Xiahoudun and Li Dianle are three classmates, you can fight again, my Zhang Liaohou Cheng Wei Xu Song Xian Cheng Lian Wei Yue Li Feng Cao Xuan plus contemptible people together, nine people can't beat the three of you?

If the quality is not enough, the quantity should be used to make up for it, this is still what a military master said.

Tsk, it seems that I, Zhang Xiu, is expected to surpass these people in this life!

……

As Zhang Xiu expected, when the four thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry arrived at the Western Battlefield, it caused a lot of panic among Cao's army. Some of the cavalry of the Cao army, who kept dragging rattan around with horses and causing gusts of dust to cover up their number of soldiers and horses, immediately unloaded the rattan branches nervously and prepared to ride and fight.

Xiahoudun, who was personally commanding thousands of Qingzhou soldiers to fight, immediately ordered to retreat, and Li Dian, who commanded the crossbowmen, also quickly adjusted the formation and faced the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Lejin, who knew more about the details of his own army, immediately gathered his cavalry and prepared to meet the charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Even though the scouts of the Cao army reported to Xiahoudun two miles away, even though the generals of the Cao army showed extremely high adaptability, they still failed to fully adapt. When Zhang Xiu led the army to the front, Cao Jun sounded the half-tone golden order, and the front army had not completely withdrawn from the battlefield.

Zhang Xiu just waved the golden gun, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was in a state of rapid marching, was divided into two wedge-shaped formations. Li Feng commanded a wedge-shaped formation on the outside and rushed directly towards Cao's central army. Zhang Xiu and Cao Xing rushed straight to the thousands of Qingzhou soldiers who were at the forefront of the attack camp.

It seems that there are 40,000 troops, but in fact, Zhang Xiu knows that the core is just these thousands of Qingzhou soldiers with teeth and claws. As long as they were dispersed, Cao Jun would naturally lose his fighting spirit.

Zhang Liao was in the defensive camp, and suddenly the camp gate was opened, and a fierce cavalry poured out in an instant. Zhang Liao took the lead, followed by Wei Yue Chenglian, and they all fought together. In addition, Song Xianhou Cheng Wei Xu and other generals, who also commanded the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, poured out from all gates and counter-killed the Xiahou Dunqian army who was urgently retreating.

The Qingzhou soldiers were the elite soldiers who followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, although they were scattered in peacetime, but they were extremely brave in battle. Without Xiahoudun's orders, the part that faced the Xiliang Iron Cavalry formed a formation, and actually launched an infantry group charge towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Zhang Xiu saw the shadow of the Roman legion for a moment. The Romans, who loved the phalanx, charged in a neat group and charged in a phalanx formation.

This tradition later influenced modern Western armies. Do you know why the regular army of the West in modern times is called a private? It is because they still maintain a formation in a row when they shoot with muskets or charge hand-to-hand combat.

Today, the behavior of these battle-hardened Qingzhou soldiers is to charge in columns. About a hundred Qingzhou soldiers, lined up in a row facing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, held a small shield forward, and rushed towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with short guns in their hands and a pace of the same speed. Then behind this row was a row of 100 Qingzhou soldiers, followed closely behind the first row, and made the same move to face the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

This row after row, there were seven or eight rows of people forming a formation together. With almost the same steps, he dared to launch a death charge towards the Xiliang Iron Horse, which can be said to be the world's first in impact ability.

What is commendable is that these Qingzhou soldiers are not just bloody and brave. There were more than 100 people in each platoon, and although they held weapons in both hands, they held their arms one by one, shouting loud slogans in unison and charging.

Zhang Xiu was suspicious for a moment, doubting that these Qingzhou soldiers would be able to use this neat short spear formation to charge in unison and disrupt the two thousand five hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry under their command!
