Chapter 368 Countermeasures
"If the west road is lost, then the official crossing is in danger," Xiahou Yuan frowned tightly as he looked at the soldiers running over from the west.
The fortifications they built were a single unit, and the loss of any section of the line would lead to the collapse of the entire line of defense.
Thinking that Liu Ping's army was on an expedition, it was a tired division, and it was a strong attack by the main force of Yuan's army, and it was reasonable that it could not be matched.
"Order, assemble, quickly follow me, and swear to recapture the west road." Xiahou Yuan ordered loudly.
Before he finished speaking, Tao Qing had already led people to run to him happily, and he was triumphant: "General Xiahou, on the order of my General Liu, come to help the general defend."
Please lead the army back and watch the battle, and leave it to us here. ”
What's that?
Xiahou Yuan listened to Tao Qing's words, and was stunned on the spot, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Liu Pingping is facing Yuan Jun's main attack, and he still has the spare strength to help him defend?
How does this sound so mysterious?
"Wait, what's going on over there?" Xiahou Yuan asked anxiously.
Tao Qing replied triumphantly: "We have already repelled the Yuan army." ”
"Repulsed?"
Xiahou Yuan looked at Tao Qing with wide eyes: "You didn't lose your position?" ”
"Our position is good, and we haven't lost a single one," Tao Qing said confidently.
"This ......" Xiahou Yuan felt incredible.
Repelling the main force of the Cao army, but also ensuring that he does not lose alone, if these words come out of the mouths of other low-level officers, Xiahou Yuan can step forward and slap a few mouths.
However, Tao Qing is Liu Ping's subordinate, and Liu Ping has done a lot of incredible things, who knows if it's true or not?
Xiahou Yuan didn't continue to ask, but asked in a deep voice: "You guys are just about a hundred and ten people, and you want to help me defend?"
That's child's play. ”
Although they faced a feint attack by the Yuan army in the middle, there were too many Yuan troops, and even if they feintmed, they sent nearly 10,000 people.
And the soldiers brought by Tao Qing are only about 100 people, just this little bit of people, dare to let him retreat and watch the battle without shame?
"General Xiahou, don't worry, we have enough for a hundred and ten people," Tao Qing said with his chest up.
It was really Liu Ping who equipped him with weapons that had too much lethality, which gave him and his soldiers supreme confidence, and the hundred and ten people no longer took tens of thousands of soldiers in their eyes.
Xiahou Yuan waved his hand at his soldiers, signaling to give them the position and see what tricks these people were going to play.
Tao Qing led a group of soldiers to set up the crossbow machine on the battlement.
"Put!"
At the sound of an order, thousands of feathered arrows were shot out at the same time.
The Yuan army on the other side was originally a feint attack to contain Xiahou Yuan's army, so the attack was not very fierce.
The two sides seem to have reached a tacit understanding, tacitly acknowledging each other, hello, me, everyone.
How did they expect such a powerful arrow from the opposite side to suddenly shoot at them?
Yuan Jun was caught off guard one by one, and was shot dead and injured countless times in an instant.
"It's not good, get out of here!"
The general of the Yuan army who commanded the feint attack almost blew up his lungs, this Cao army was too unsophisticated, and he was "treacherous".
In this way, there was no need for them to feint and go up desperately, so they instantly turned around and retreated.
But in the blink of an eye, the second wave of arrow attacks on the city had arrived, and the soldiers who had not yet run away were killed and wounded.
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but look at the crossbow machine in Tao Qing's hand, and his eyes couldn't help but glow, and he grinned happily in the back, and said with a smile: "What kind of good thing are you holding, it has such a miraculous effect?" ”
"General Hui, this is the 'Giant High Divine Crossbow'" Tao Qing replied.
"Giant High Divine Crossbow?" Xiahou Yuan was stunned, and then laughed heartily, "Ping'er can always come up with such a strange idea, this is simply a 'sycophant crossbow', presumably my uncle is very happy when he hears this name."
This crossbow machine is so lethal, but it is named after the uncle's name, which is simply to make my uncle's name. ”
He naturally knew that his uncle Cao Song's position as a lieutenant was not honorable, so he always wanted to prove to the world that he was not ignorant of military affairs.
Now Liu Ping named such a sharp artifact "Jugao", which is exactly what Uncle Tou likes.
At this time, Cao Chun led dozens of guards to come over, and Liu Ping on their side also sent soldiers to support, and the effect was the same.
It only took a few rounds of blows to repel the feint Yuan army without any delay.
"It's happy, it's so happy," Cao Chun waved his fist and shouted again and again: "Since the transfer to Guandu, we have been fighting every day, and now Ping'er has brought such a divine object, which also makes the two of us raise our eyebrows once." ”
At this time, Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan no longer argued, and the two had become difficult brothers.
Who let their brothers go out with their armies and be wiped out?
Although Cao Cao didn't blame them, they themselves felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but raise their heads.
After this battle, the two of them were touched by Liu Ping's light, and finally let out a bad breath.
"Let's go, go and report to the eldest brother, damn, since we came to Guandu, we haven't reported the victory."
……
Zhang He retreated to the camp of the Yuan army in a gray manner.
The losses in this battle are really not small, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and they didn't even touch the root of Cao Jun's wall, which has to be said to be the most disgraceful one in this period of time.
You must know that under the cross-attack before, the fortifications of the Cao army were already in danger.
However, the situation was reversed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Cao Jun defeated them and lost them.
"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Shao suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a cold voice.
"Returning to the lord, for some reason, Cao Jun suddenly had extremely powerful arrows.
If it was forced to attack, it was feared that it would suffer heavy losses, so the last general temporarily withdrew the besieging army. ”
Zhang He clenched his fists and reported to Yuan Shao.
"How many people are there in Cao Jun?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Could it be that Cao Jun can turn everyone into archers?" ”
Yuan Shao naturally didn't believe what Zhang He said, but felt that Zhang He was probably a little timid.
Zhang He glanced at each other, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
At this time, he suddenly hurried in, holding an arrow in his hand, and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, please see, this is an arrow taken from the wounded soldier."
Looking at the shape of the arrow, it seems to be made by my Yecheng, but the tail feathers have all been sawn off.
Thinking about the previous Cao Jun used straw men to collect our arrows, now I am afraid that Cao Jun has made a different crossbow machine, which can lead to an increase in the power of the arrow array. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Mingjian," Gao Ran hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "We will lead the army to attack, but in a moment of incense, so many soldiers will be killed by arrows."
Even if Cao Jun is all a marksman, he must not do this.
Presumably, as Mr. Gonghe said, Cao Jun improved the crossbow machine. ”
"Hmm!"
Yuan Shao snorted, took the arrow in his hand and looked at it for a long time.
There was a frustration from the side, and he also believed Gao Ran's words a little.
"Since the Cao army's arrow array is strong, is it possible that our army has no way to deal with it?"
