This should be the first particularly bloody and difficult battle after Cao Cao entered Xuzhou.

The white snow was full of shocking blood-red patches, and the fallen soldiers were frozen as hard as stones in the bitter cold weather, and the arrows and spears were stuck in the ground, and the smell of blood even attracted the wild wolves and wild dogs near Xiapi City to gather, staring hungrily at the scarlet eyes, and roaring at people.

Lu Bu's name is really not covered! And the state wolf ride is really not covered! With 3,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard, Lu Bu was stunned to kill a bloody road in the tiger and leopard cavalry, and successively chiseled through three layers of Cao Army's infantry defense line, which was contained by Cao Jun's superior infantry array.

For fear that Lu Bu would have some accidents, Gao Shun's trapping camp and Zhang Liao's Danyang soldiers immediately followed suit, and at the city gate and surrounded by Lejin, Xiahou Yuan had a fierce battle, the two sergeants were like two gate pillars, resisting the siege of several times the Cao army, and they should have come back to Lu Bu leading the wolf cavalry to roar back, and then retreated to Xiapi City, and even the heavy crossbow of Gao Shun's trapping camp also made the corpses of the Cao army who charged and shot at each other accumulated, and suffered heavy losses.

In the afternoon, after the Lü army returned to the city, he cleaned up the battlefield, and the iron cavalry of the camp and the state only left a total of about 820 corpses, but the Cao army killed 1,002 cavalry and armor soldiers, and wounded 2,003, and was unable to trap Lü Bu in the field.

This should be regarded as the defeat of Cao's army!

However, in the fierce battle, more than a dozen "Danyang soldiers" followed Zhang Liao's infantry and retreated to Xiapi City!

Even if this battle is defeated, Wang Hou can be regarded as the first achievement, but he is also not happy.

After cleaning the battlefield, more than a dozen corpses wrapped in white cloth but with red marks were carried back to his barracks, and the cold wind was blowing, blowing so that every corner of the white cloth was hulala.

Before the battle, Wang Hou had already played a clever trick, and ordered that as long as he retreated into the infantry of Lejin, Zhao Yun took the guards, and Wang Congge retreated from both sides with the guards, and threw the task of engaging with Lu Bu's army to the rest of the Cao army, but he really underestimated Lu Bu's bravery, and single-handedly crashed into his own phalanx, he personally killed three of his own people, and the rest were killed in battle with the wolf of Bingzhou.

In addition to more than a dozen of those killed in battle, there were more than 50 lightly and seriously wounded, wrapped in the same reddened gauze, and followed Wang Hou to greet his comrades-in-arms.

This is Wang Hou's second test after killing people when he came to this era, witnessing the people around him leaving!

Han Yin, the messenger of Yuan Shu, did not have much touch in his heart, because if he didn't kill him, he would have to die, and there was still no room for any feelings and mercy between you and me, but I saw with my own eyes that these young men who were still messing around with their own head when they were fine, and the young men who were instructed by themselves were lying in front of him so coldly, Wang Hou's heart was still very blocked, and he stood like that against the cold night wind, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

In the end, Zhao Yun walked out helplessly and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's how the world is! They also fulfilled their fate, guarded the lord and the governor, and their death was worth it! Lord, what you should do is not to mourn, but to do your duty! Keep leading us! ”

Finally came back to his senses, glanced back at Zhao Yun, and then Wang Hou nodded in a heavy nasal voice.

"I heard that the sacred cloud of the west, the fire burns the body, the soul can fly to the sky forever, come here, prepare firewood, and send the brothers back to heaven!"

In this era, it is difficult to bring the bones back, it is difficult to ascend to the sky, most of the soldiers are buried in the wilderness after the death of the war, and even eaten by wild wolves and wild dogs, although this cremation can not meet the hope of burying the whole body in this era, but it is good to be able to return to the hometown, witnessing the crackling of the fire, Wang Hou suddenly turned around again, and said heavily to his subordinates who were still wrapped in gauze behind him.

"Next time, no matter what the situation, I'll fight side by side with you!"

"Congge, you go and gather the strong men, and pile up the big wood that Pengcheng transported again, I will be of great use!"

…………

In order to attack the city, Cao Cao even ordered hot water to be boiled, poured on the frozen hard ground, thawed the frozen soil, and then dug a trench with a hoe.

But it's really a soldier and a god, the spies came to report, Yuan Shu has gathered his subordinates to go north, intending to support Lu Bu, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang also carried out military operations, marched in the direction of Liang State, trying to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and even more caused military pressure in the north, although there was no direct attack on Xu Du, but Xun Yu Pegasus came to report, Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang has led the Hebei army to officially cross the river, and settled in Baima near the Yellow River crossing!

The situation has also become dire.

On this day, Cao Cao stood on the snow-capped mountain of the siege and inspected the progress of the fortifications, and then returned to the barracks worriedly.

"Prime Minister, it is bitter cold in Xiapi, it can't be attacked for a long time, and it is useless to entangle it again, and Yuan Shao's soldiers are on white horses, and there are no less than tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, once they raid Xudu, they can come overnight, the court of the Son of Heaven is big, according to what the ministers see, it is better to retreat!"

"No! Now the army is besieging the city, and it will not lead Surabaya to attack Xiapi, with water as a soldier, Lu Bu can be broken overnight, and once the army is withdrawn now, it is really discouraged not to say, Lu Bu wolf cavalry follows our army, and Yuan Shao goes south to attack, and the foundation is really broken! ”

Cheng Yu immediately stood up angrily and opened his mouth to block it, but Yang Xiu did not retreat at all, but squinted his eyes and stared at him and Cao Cao dangerously.

"How long does it take to dig Surabaya? Once Xu Du fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, was Shang Shuling responsible? ”

"I ......"

Just when Cheng Yu was speechless, at the mouth of the tent, a dull and deep voice rang out suddenly, but it was the captain of the guard, Xu Chu, who knelt heavily and hugged his fists.

"Prime Minister, the king transfers the envoy, please gather in the camp!"

was upset, Cao Cao flicked his sleeves anxiously: "What is the matter for him to come to the Chinese army to report, he is not available!" ”

"Prime Minister!"

Without waiting for Cao Cao's words to fall, Guo Jia stood up from his futon again, hugged his fists and asked.

"The subordinate befriended Wang Tu, he is a sycophant! Everything is in person, how can he have a score to ask the prime minister to move elsewhere, anyway, now he is at a loss, the minister thinks, this trip should go! ”

Cao Cao was really stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he also stood up and ordered Xu Chu again.

"Set up a guard of honor and go to the back camp!"

"The last general obeys!"

…………

No wonder Wang Hou didn't go to the Chinese army, this kung fu, he was really busy enough, three days of hard work, in his grain camp, there was a huge wooden guy more than four meters high and more than six meters long.

This thing is estimated to weigh at least two or three tons, and the wooden wheels below are pressed out of the snow with two thick ruts, and on the tower of the wood pile above is a swing arm that is long and short, the short end is connected to a cast iron cauldron, and the long end is a large box of unknown pounds, and the metal hoops and metal sticks are bent and fixed together with the wood everywhere.

When Cao Cao arrived, Wang Houzheng commanded more than a dozen strong men to drag the rope, and the long side of the arm creaked and landed down, and then the two strong men carried a piece from Pengcheng, and the fragments of the house weighing nearly 100 catties were placed in the cast iron cauldron.

"Prime Minister......

Raising his voice, Xu Chu was about to report to Cao Cao's home and let Wang Hou come to greet him, but looking at this scene, Cao Cao slapped him violently and stopped him, and even Yang Xiu, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia didn't blink an eye, and they were engrossed in Wang Hou.

Seeing the comparison of the lower direction, Wang Hou personally pulled a thick rope under the trebuchet, only to hear a loud bang, the heavy short arm counterweight fell suddenly, the big iron pot flew upwards in a flicker, and followed by the hundreds of pounds of big stones also flew out as if they had wings.

Almost four hundred meters away, the shadow whistled and flew over, and the next moment it was simply shaking, and the land that was frozen and solid by the cold was smashed into a big crater, and the snow foam splashed, and the snow was blasted open, revealing the yellow Xuzhou land below.

"Throw the cannon! Wang Tu begs you to make a cannon! ”

This can no longer be calm, Cao Cao couldn't help but be excited and ecstatic and walked down quickly, following him, Cheng Yu even forgot to run in front of Cao Cao, and pounced on the heavy guy who had just used Wang Hou like he saw a peerless beauty, and the veteran kept stroking this big guy obscenely.

No wonder Cao Cao was surprised, this simple big guy really doesn't exist in this era!

Originally, the trebuchet was designed by Lu Ban, dedicated to the state of Chu to attack the Song state, and was immediately broken by Mozi, and then when Qin destroyed the six countries, the state of Chu used a large-scale trebuchet war, and smashed the Qin general Li Xin by the river, and defeated Li Xin as many as 200,000 Qin troops, and then this thing seems to be lost, there is no application record in the annals, and Cao Cao is knowledgeable, and he has seen it in the ancient books, only to know that there is such a thing!

However, this time in the face of Cao Cao, who was extremely excited, Wang Hou surprisingly did not make a sycophant, but corrected with a sour and lazy appearance.

"Return to the cannon! Prime Minister, this thing is called back to the gun! ”

"The subordinate originally came from Pengcheng to transport wood to make this thing, but it was burned by the prime minister!"

Suddenly, Cao Cao's smile was also choked there, and the handsome face of the positive character couldn't help but show embarrassment, but immediately, he stroked his palms excitedly and laughed.

"Tuqiu sacrificed a great contribution to the return of the artillery, and after returning to Xudu, he was injured a lot!"

"Someone, pass on the order, transfer the tiger and leopard to ride back to Pengcheng to pull wood, transfer all the craftsmen in the army and a bowl of strong men to Tuqiu, and make every effort to build this back artillery !!" 166 Reading Network
