Chapter 384: Gao Zhang surrenders
Set up a ladder and hold a rattan card, the remaining 50,000 elites of Yuan's army began to attack the Cao army's fortifications.
Cao Hong, who commanded the defense of the Cao army, did not dare to be careless at all, and personally commanded the battle at the head of the city.
In fact, Yuan Jun's conjecture was not unreasonable, the tiger and leopard cavalry that Liu Ping took away before was indeed the most elite army of Cao Jun.
However, the advantage of the tiger and leopard cavalry is the surprise attack, which does not play a big role in the city defense war, so the lack of the tiger and leopard cavalry did not hurt the roots of Cao Jun.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Cao Hong took a sword in his hand, rushed forward in person, and cut off the head of a missing Yuan soldier with a sword, and blood sprayed Cao Hong's face.
Cao Hong touched it casually, and suddenly turned red, but it looked even more terrifying.
He stared at the blood-red eyes and yelled viciously at the soldiers around him: "Kill!
Don't let one slip through.
Resist Lao Tzu! ”
The main generals in front of the battle of his status began to kill people with their own hands, and the surrounding soldiers were all infected.
Fighting side by side with General Cao Hong is such an honorable thing for an ordinary soldier?
Cao Jun's morale was suddenly high, and he worked extremely hard to kill people.
After fighting to the death, he finally suppressed the first wave of Yuan's offensive.
Yuan's army retreated temporarily, and the city was littered with corpses, and many people were injured in varying degrees of severity.
It's just that even if you are injured, as long as you can still crawl, you have to fight.
At this time, the military doctor is particularly important, and the injured person is waiting for someone to bandage his wounds.
But thousands of people were injured at the same time, how many military doctors from the Cao family were there, how could they be busy?
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a flood of mourning on the head of the city.
Sadness can be contagious, not to mention that in such an environment, the qi and blood that rushed to the head during the battle quickly cooled down, and Cao Hong couldn't help but worry when he saw it.
Although Liu Ping had burned the grain and grass of the Yuan army, the Yuan army counterattacked so fiercely, and now that his subordinates have such morale, can they still withstand the second and third waves of the enemy's attack?
At this time, the Yuan army temporarily retreated, in front of the command behind the army, and the second general Zhang He and Gao Lan were discussing something in a low voice with their brows on their brows......
"The ancients said: 'One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion,' I waited for the first wave of attacks not to win, and then if I want to defeat the enemy, it will be difficult!"
Gao Ran shook his head and sighed: "It can be seen that the current situation is not what they expected, the Cao army has exhausted its elite and the defense is empty. ”
"But the lord has limited you and me to conquer Cao's fortifications, how is this good?" Zhang He clenched his fists and hammered his head with a faint pain, "I'll wait to go back, even if the lord can tolerate me, with Guo Tu's villain instigating me, there will definitely be no good fruit for you and me to eat." ”
I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people, Guo Tu is famous for his love of wearing small shoes, but he is deeply trusted by Yuan Shao, and others can't touch him.
If the war is unfavorable like now, it is inevitable that Guo Tu will fall into the ground.
"The living can't let urine suffocate to death, you say, where is the way out for me?" Gao Ran Road.
"If not...... Shall I wait for Cao? Zhang He asked tentatively.
After all, it is a big deal to defect before the battle and change the court, in case Gao Ran does not agree, he can be killed in the name of Yuan Shao.
"I have long had this intention," I didn't expect Gao Ran to say unusually happily: "I have long heard that Corporal Cao Gongli is virtuous, thirsty for talent, and there is the Son of Heaven in Xu, I have long wanted to go to the past." ”
"Good!"
Zhang He patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Then let's arrange it." ”
After the two of them reached an agreement, they began to implement the plan to surrender to Cao, but they still had tens of thousands of soldiers under their command at this time, and since they were going to surrender, they naturally had to bring this army over as a meeting gift.
They immediately called several of their lieutenants over individually, and privately revealed to everyone that they wanted to surrender to Cao.
With the force of the two of them, the two joined forces, and even if everyone objected, they would all be killed.
But fortunately, no one objected.
After all, even generals of Gao Zhang's level can't get along with Yuan Jun, let alone these low-level generals?
Besides, there were Gao Zhang and the others who were there staring at them with big eyes and asking, who would dare to object to them?
After settling his men, the two of them galloped towards Cao's camp with apprehension.
Even if they had heard of Corporal Cao Cao Lixian before, but the two of them had fought with Cao Jun for such a long time, and their hands were covered with the blood of Cao Jun's soldiers, who knew what Cao Cao would do to them?
The two galloped their horses and galloped towards Cao's barracks.
At this time, Cao Hong, who was at the head of the city, was sitting under the battlement, panting, worried about the situation in front of him.
After all, after this battle, Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and it is really difficult to say whether it can hold on to an attack like this again.
Suddenly, a sentry soldier shouted: "General, look, Yuan Jun is here again." ”
Cao Hong couldn't help but be excited, and subconsciously asked, "How many people are there?" ”
"Two of you!"
"Two of you?"
Cao Hong was confused at the time, what was the operation of the two?
He immediately got up and lay down on the battlement, and saw two fast horses galloping from afar.
Cao Jun's crossbowmen were on guard, and Cao Hong saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered: "You are not allowed to do it without my order." ”
At this time, Gao Ran Zhang He had already rushed to the front.
"The last general is high!"
"The last general, Zhang He!"
"We are willing to lead the troops to surrender Cao Sikong, and hope that Sikong will be fulfilled."
They looked at the city from afar, and could not tell who the lord was, so they could only shout at the wall.
They actually came to surrender, and of course Cao Hong couldn't believe it was true.
Who knows if this is Yuan Jun's trick to surrender?
It's just that Gao Ran Zhang He came alone, and it seems impossible to deceive him.
He put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, but did not find the ambush, so he held the battlement and said loudly: "In Xia Cao Hong, if you want to surrender, then please dismount and go to the gun, and enter to talk to my brother." ”
Gao Ran and Zhang He glanced at each other, Cao Jun was defensive of them, and it was inevitable that he would not trust them.
After all, the enemy generals who have been fighting for so long suddenly want to surrender, and they will not believe it.
If they dismounted and went to the gun and entered the Cao army camp, they would not be able to show their ability to reach the sky.
It's just that people are under low eaves and have to bow their heads.
"It turned out to be General Zilian, please."
The two obediently dismounted, threw away the spears in their hands, and then entered through the small door opened by Cao Jun.
At the same time, Cao Hong hurriedly sent someone to report the news to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who was restlessly pacing back and forth in the tent, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and rubbed his hands together and said, "This is Weizi going to Yin, Han Xin is returning to Han, and God will help me."
Hurry up, please, hurry up, please. ”
As he spoke, he personally greeted him out of the door of the tent.
For strategists and famous generals, Cao Cao likes them from the bottom of his heart, not to mention famous generals like Gao Zhang.
General Gao Zhang entered the Cao Jun barrier in his heart, and when the door behind him slammed shut, the mood of the two people sank at the same time.
Regret it again, it's too late!
