Chapter 249: Purgatory on Earth
"Retreat, retreat!"
Zhuge Liang also woke up from his sleep at this time, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to prepare to retreat.
It was also the first time he had really seen the power of artillery.
This scene can not be described as terrifying, and all adjectives are overshadowed by this kind of scene.
Liu Bei's army didn't even have time to pack up their things now, and they fled frantically like frightened birds.
However, Cao Jun did not continue to catch up.
This is Cao Shuo's special instruction to Cao Ang, not to pursue the enemy casually, especially in the middle of the night.
Liu Bei is very cunning by nature, and now that Zhuge Liang is also under Liu Bei, maybe he will go to the ambush circle, and it is really not cost-effective to pursue again.
Zhuge Liang is also very good at using traps, in case he loses part of his troops because of pursuit, it will be troublesome.
When it was about to dawn, Zhuge Liang looked at the soldiers who were packing up their things with a shocked expression, and his eyes were mixed with a hint of different colors that were difficult for ordinary people to detect:
"Why didn't Cao Jun pursue?"
Yesterday, during the escape journey, Zhuge Liang did set a trap.
As long as Cao Jun dares to continue the pursuit, he will definitely pay a heavy price.
Zhuge Liang had also calculated before that as long as Cao Shuo was present this time, Cao Jun would definitely use the artillery of divine power from the sky.
At this time, he will pretend to retreat in panic, and the other party is likely to pursue and fall into the trap.
As long as this plan can succeed, Zhuge Liang will not only be able to severely damage Cao Shuo's soldiers, but may also be able to capture artillery!
As long as he can get a cannon and cannonballs, Zhuge Liang may be able to really imitate one, and at that time, he really doesn't have to be afraid of Cao Jun anymore.
And this is also an important reason why they have always advocated attacking Cao Cao.
Take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look and understand the artillery, and maybe it can be captured.
This god-level weapon of war... If it is really captured or said that it can be studied, it can really change the situation of the war.
Besides, artillery is a weapon that only Cao Shuo has but Liu Bei does not, as long as it is a war, it will be a loss.
At this time, Cao Ang also returned to his military camp:
"Cao Shuo, did you say that Liu Bei, the villain, really gave us an ambush?"
Cao Ang was a little unwilling in his heart.
He felt that as long as he continued to pursue last night, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on Liu Bei, and maybe he could directly dispel the offensive psychology of the opposite side.
But Cao Shuo chose to retreat and clean up the battlefield when he was about to pursue, which really made Cao Ang a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, Zhuge Liang, that old fox, I know very well."
Cao Shuo grinned and said: "How could they not know the power of the artillery, but they still chose to camp in the basin last night, and after a round of attacks, they can retreat immediately, it is obvious that they have done their homework!" ”
"This..."
"Also, if we let our artillery fall into their hands because of the pursuit, that's the real trouble!"
When Cao Ang heard this, he suddenly gasped in his heart.
Such an analysis: . . It seems that this is indeed the case!
"It's good to have you, otherwise something really happened yesterday!" Cao Ang said with hindsight at this time.
"Yes, the only advantage we have in battle now is these 200 guns, and if they fall into their hands, it will be really troublesome." Cao Shuo nodded and said.
"So, what are we going to do now?"
When Cao Shuo heard this, he grinned and said, "It's very simple, just press it and hit it directly!" ”
"Pressed over and hit?"
Cao Ang looked confused.
"Yes!"
Cao Shuo said leisurely: "Didn't you say it just now, our artillery is a huge advantage, just take advantage of them and suppress them all the way!" ”
"Okay!"
After some thought, Cao Ang nodded.
He had been working beside Cao Cao before, and he didn't know much about artillery.
But now that Cao Shuo was by his side, Cao Ang thought about it and listened to his opinion humbly.
This is Cao Ang's most valuable advantage.
Subsequently, Cao Jun directly continued to press forward, as long as it was within the range of the artillery, it was a baptism of shells.
Although Liu Bei's army of 200,000 was a large number, there was no way to do it in the face of the range attack that was directly full.
In this way, Liu Bei kept retreating, and he was about to arrive in his hometown Jingzhou in less than a week.
Cao Shuo also kept pursuing, and on this day Cao Jun came to the front of a small hill.
"Cao Shuo, how should we get over now?"
Cao Ang asked Cao Shuo's opinion at this time.
Now if Cao Jun wants to continue to suppress Liu Bei's army, he has to pass through this small hill.
But the hill is gentle and not too high, making it easy to design traps.
"I guess, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are about to arrive at their hometown now, they must be very unhappy in their hearts, and they are still waiting for the opportunity to take down our artillery!"
Cao Shuo looked at the hill in front of him and said slowly: "On the hill in front, they must set up an ambush, and the trees in front will make it difficult for our artillery to play a role, and we will definitely fail if we enter!" ”
"That.. What now? ”
Cao Ang asked with a sad face at this time.
He naturally knew how powerful Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were, otherwise why would they still be fighting Cao Cao now?
And Liu Bei is a generation of heroes, and he really can't deal with an honest person like Cao Ang!
"Haha!"
Cao Shuo said to Cao Ang with a smile at this time: "Since they have designed a trap inside, then we can also take this opportunity to fight a good rake!" ”
"Huh?"
Cao Ang was stunned when he heard it: "This.. Can it really work? ”
"Don't worry!"
Cao Shuo smiled and said: "Although Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are extremely smart, they are not immortals in the end!" Look how I deal with them this time! ”
Subsequently, Cao Shuo and Cao Ang secretly discussed and prepared to pass the hill together the next morning.
There is no concrete road on this road yet, but the road is still very neat enough for the carriage to pass smoothly.
However, the mountain road is still very winding and narrow, and at most two cars can pass side by side.
As for wanting the army to work here, it's completely impossible.
Cao Jun drove all the way and reached the halfway point of the mountain in half a day.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of fighting came from all directions.
"Haha, is this coming?"
Cao Shuo heard this shout without the slightest surprise.
This terrain, if you don't come to an ambush, this is a shame for the military advisor Zhuge Liang!
But... After all, Zhuge Liang is still only a person from the Three Kingdoms period, and he doesn't know much about other weapons.
"Now everyone pay attention and follow the plan!"
At this time, Cao Shuo suddenly burst out.
