Chapter 857: No Contrast, No Harm

I have to say that Cao Cao is really very far-sighted, and he has even predicted that even if he succeeds in courting Dong, the world will still be in turmoil.

The reason why Cao Cao worked so hard to attack the city this time was not only to gain a good reputation, but also to deter the princes of Yanzhou by showing military strength.

Cao Cao already had a plan to unify Yanzhou, and if he could indirectly let his future enemies understand that the gap in strength between the two sides could not be bridged, he could also achieve the intention of surrendering without a fight.

Cao Cao's purpose has also been achieved.

The other princes saw that Cao Jun was so strong, in addition to shock, they only had envy, after all, no matter how strong Cao Cao was, it didn't matter to them, but the princes of Yanzhou were different.

At this time, the faces of all the princes of Yanzhou were very ugly, after all, with such a powerful neighbor by their side, they didn't have to think about it to know that their future life would probably not be easy.

Qin Hao didn't think much about it except being surprised when he saw Cao Cao fighting so hard, after all, Cao Cao behaved quite deferencingly in front of him, but when Liu Bowen whispered something in Qin Hao's ear, Qin Hao's eyes instantly became fierce.

"Lord, don't underestimate Cao Cao, this person is scheming, and he will be in great trouble in the future."

Liu Bowen had a gentle smile on his face, but the words he said were like a cold wind.

When he first joined Qin Hao's command, Liu Bowen was also high-spirited and regarded the heroes and heroes of the world as nothing, but now he dare not underestimate them, because there are really too many heroes in this era.

"The military advisor reminds me that I have never underestimated Cao Cao."

Qin Hao's eyes were full of depth, and he said lightly: "The reason why I am close to Cao Cao is because in the short term, there will be no conflict of interest between the two families, and Cao Cao can also help our army bear the pressure of some of the Central Plains princes." ”

Seeing that the lord was not as he appeared, and was confused by the appearance of a loyal minister shown by Cao Cao, Liu Bowen also nodded and did not say much.

On the other side, after Cao Cao's order to reward the first to ascend the pass was issued, the morale of the Cao army who was besieging the city was greatly increased, and they all roared and launched a charge.

Two hours later, someone in the Cao army who was besieging the city finally waited for the city tower, but it was not an ordinary soldier, but the general of the Cao army, Yin Xun.

Yin Xun's eyes flashed with this bloodthirsty light, and he shouted fiercely: "The miscellaneous members of the Liang Army, go and die." ”

"Ding Dong, Yin Xuan (纣王) skill 'Sword God' launches force +4, base force 105, White Tiger Burning Sky Blade +1, and the current force has risen to 110."

Qin Hao, who received the prompt, was stunned, he still thought that Yin Xuan had super divine skills, and now it seems that he is only at the level of the god of war, and the god of war with super divine skills is not the same concept.

Yin Xuan, who climbed the city tower, quickly cleared an area for the soldiers behind him to settle down.

Gradually, Cao's army occupied a small position on the castle tower, and after gaining a foothold, it began to counterattack in all directions.

Yang Guang saw that Cao Jun had climbed the city tower so quickly, and he suddenly sighed in his heart, and hurriedly ordered Wu Yunzhao and other generals to go and strangle him.

The number of Cao Jun who climbed the city tower is limited after all, even if the number is still increasing, how can it be the opponent of the Liang Army like a tide, not to mention that Yin Xun was also dragged by Wu Yunzhao, the general of the Liang Army.

Yin Xuan and Wu Yunzhao were fighting vigorously, but after a mistake, they found that the soldiers who climbed the stairs had been killed cleanly, and the gap that could not be the same was also filled.

In the absence of soldiers' support, Yin Xun did not dare to stay on the city tower for long, after all, this is the home of the Liang army.

Yin Xun didn't dare to entangle with Wu Yunzhao, but instead killed to the side of the city wall with the ladder, and took advantage of the fact that several enemy generals had not chased after him, and jumped directly down the ladder, and grabbed the ladder before he was about to land.

When Wu Yunzhao rushed over to take a look, Yin Xuan had already landed smoothly, and he also looked at Wu Yunzhao provocatively, which immediately made Wu Yunzhao angry.

Come if you want to come, leave if you want to go, what do you think of the Tiger Prison? Toilets?

Although he was very annoyed in his heart, Wu Yunzhao was still helpless about it, after all, even if Xiongguan was strong, it was just to block ordinary soldiers, and he couldn't stop the god-level fierce generals at all.

After that, Yin Xun boarded it a few more times, and Evil Lai and Fei Lian also boarded it once, but without exception, they were bombarded by the Liang army before they could gain a firm foothold.

Gradually, the sky became dark.

When the sun was about to set, Cao Cao Zhenshi ordered Ming Jin to stop the attack, and at the same time sent people to clean up the battlefield and collect all the stone bullets dropped by the Liang army.

Later statistics, on the first day of the siege of the city, the Cao army killed more than 1,500 people, and naturally more were injured, while the Liang army also killed at least 500 people.

When Qin Wen defended the Yellow Turban attack, the casualty ratio even reached 1:10 when it was the largest, and the current defense of Tiger Prison Pass is even better than in the past, but Cao Jun can still play a casualty ratio of 1:3, which is already a pretty good record.

After Yang Guang counted the casualties, his face also became extremely ugly.

Yang Guang also knew that his army had just suffered a major defeat, and the morale of the whole army was sluggish, while the morale of the coalition army was like a rainbow.

Under the advantages of one another, the comprehensive combat power of the Liang army is not as elite as the Cao army, which is also normal.

But the one-to-three casualties were indeed a bit different from what Yang Guang expected in his heart.

You must know that there are only 50,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, and as a result, they lost one percent of their troops on the first day of defending the city, and if the coalition forces continue to attack at this intensity, wouldn't it mean that the Tiger Prison Pass will not be able to hold it for even a hundred days?

Although Yang Guang also knew that it was impossible for the coalition forces to reach today's strength every time they attacked the city, he still couldn't help but feel extremely pressured.

Such a tragic attack by the Cao army not only caused great pressure on Yang Guang, but also made it difficult for Liu Bei and Song Jiang to ride the tiger.

"Cao Mengde, you are a fool, and you always do stupid things that harm others and are not beneficial to yourself."

Liu Bei and Song Jiang couldn't help but curse Cao Cao in their hearts.

Cao Cao suddenly raised the level of siege warfare directly to the highest level, which is simply forcing Liu Bei and Song Jiang behind to work hard!

Both of them were extremely depressed in their hearts, but they also had to follow Cao Cao's standards, who let them get on the thief ship, this time they were condemned by Cao Cao.

In the next two days, Liu Bei and Song Jiang also went out, not only did they personally beat the drums and cheer, but also sent out all the generals under their command, but the results achieved by attacking the city were far less than that of Cao's army.

Liu's army attacked the city in one day, killing more than 1,800 people in direct battle, and only causing the Liang army to lose 500 troops.

The Liangshan army was even more unbearable, killing nearly 2,000 people in one day, but the Liang army's casualties were only more than 400, and the largest casualty ratio was 1 to 5.

There is no harm if there is no contrast.
