Chapter 823: Total War
In ancient siege warfare, the defending side had to build a wall, not just because there was mutual support with the main city, but because it was impossible for each city to be completely surrounded by the city walls.
Many people have the impression that the castle and its buildings and inhabitants were completely surrounded by the walls, but this is not true.
The development of human beings determines that the scale of cities is always changing with each passing day, whether it is the expansion of the scale of cultivated land every year, or the flow of people back and forth, no city can be completely surrounded by the city walls.
The Great Wall did not encircle the whole of China, but only set up a chain of pinching cards on the main roads to a certain extent.
Castles that are completely surrounded by walls only exist in Romance 1 to 13.
Therefore, the surrounding important places or places that have not been protected in Qufu City were naturally protected by the pottery merchants.
Therefore, the combined forces of San Liu and Cao Cao naturally divided their forces to capture the main city and those attached Dazhai.
And the one responsible for attacking the pottery merchant's main formation was also the main force of Cao's army.
Rushing to the front, is the death squad of Cao Cao's army, the combat power of these pioneers may not be the strongest, but it is certainly not the worst, to enter this battalion, you must have sufficient physical strength, the spirit of not being afraid of death, and the courage to be cannon fodder for the rear people and so on.
To put it bluntly, they are a group of soldiers with a mocking aura and no nurse to feed them, and they deserve the respect of the officers and men of the three armies.
Seeing the vanguard of the Cao army rushing towards his own city, the potter turned his head to look at Xu Rong and said, "Let the departments start to act according to the order." ”
"No." Xu Rong clenched his fist at the potter, and then ordered the horn soldiers to blow the horn.
The heavy sound of brass horns resounded throughout the sky, echoing in the eardrums of everyone in the city.
After the horn sounded, I saw two cavalry faintly appearing from the east and west sides.
The one in the east was led by Zhang Liao himself, while the one in the west was led by Ah Fei, who temporarily replaced Zhao Yun, led the Jinling White Horse Army, and the two armies fought towards Cao Jin together.
Cao Cao personally supervised the battle in the rear, and when he saw the cavalry rushing out of both sides of the city, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then sneered: "What a Tao boy, he actually planted soldiers and horses outside the city, and he was really prepared." ”
Just as he was speaking, Ah Fei and Zhang Liaobing split into two ways, and they had already rushed into Cao Jun's death squad camp.
As the name suggests, the death squad is in a hurry to send to death, and the combat power of the team that goes to the pole to send the death is naturally not higher than that of the Jinling White Horse Army and the wolf horse.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! Ah Fei shouted.
As Ah Fei shouted, the Jinling White Horse Army began to bend its bow and shoot towards the vanguard death squad of the Cao army.
The White Horse Army's rain of arrows is not very powerful and not very dense, but it is better because it is an archer, so it is highly flexible. High mobility and many tactical variations.
The reason why Ah Fei was able to replace Zhao Yun to command the Jinling White Horse Army was because he had always belonged to Zhao Yun's troops during this time, and there were not so many words among his brothers and sisters, and Zhao Yun also selflessly taught him the ability to lead troops.
Now the potters named him the lieutenant general of the White Horse Army.
The White Horse Army's rain of arrows was not intended to cause much damage to Cao's army, but to disrupt the enemy's front line and make it easier for their own soldiers to storm in.
After a rain of arrows, sure enough, a gap was opened on the flank of the death squad.
At the same time, on the city of Qufu, the mournful horn sounded again.
And the troops in the city, taking advantage of this moment, began to rush out of the city in unison, arranging their troops.
Cao Cao seemed to have seen through the Tao Shang's thoughts, and he hurriedly ordered the heralds: "The soldiers and horses of the princes of Zhuoguanzhong will quickly attack the cavalry of the Jinling army from both flanks, and the lion and tiger army of Dian Wei and Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry will attack the enemy's middle formation!" ”
At the same time, the cavalry of the Jinling White Horse Army had already put down their bows and crossbows, replaced them with spears, and rushed into the formation of the Cao army's death squad under the leadership of A Fei.
"Up!"
"Broken!"
"Up!"
"Broken!"
The Jinling White Horse Army kept chanting the slogans of the training on weekdays, and stabbed every soldier who appeared in front of them with their spears.
Their movements are clean and clean, almost just repeating one more of the most effective movements.
The training of the White Horse Army on weekdays was simple and rude, and they were just under the command of Zhao Yun, repeatedly flying forward and stabbing sharply.
Blood spilled in the air, countless Cao Army death squad soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the place where the White Horse Army rushed away was like the entire phalanx like white skin, cut out a deep wound by a sharp knife, which was extremely eye-catching and terrifying.
The death squad was rushed away, but the Lion and Tiger Army, which was supposed to receive them in the rear, did not move.
Because Dian Wei, the main general of the Lion and Tiger Army, received Cao Cao's general order at this moment, and he wanted to attack them after Cao Chun.
Not to mention that the death squad in front suffered losses, even if they were all killed by Ah Fei, Dian Wei was resolutely unmoved.
Not because he didn't have a bright head, nor because he was ruthless, but because Dian Wei was a person who obeyed Cao Cao's orders to the extreme.
Cao Cao let himself act after riding with the tiger and leopard, and Dian Wei would wait for the tiger and leopard to ride before acting, even if the sky fell and the end of the world was resolutely unmoved.
At this moment, the earth seemed to begin to tremble slightly.
But I saw a tightly wrapped heavy cavalry, like a torrent of steel, carrying boundless momentum and killing intent, rushing in the direction of Dian Wei.
And the gun-wielding general led by him is Cao Chun, who is the most warlike among the Cao generals.
Cao Chun galloped to Dian Wei's side and said loudly: "General Dian, follow me to fight!" ”
Dian Wei's long-suppressed battle intent finally broke out, and he brandished his twin iron halberds, took the lead, roaring and rushing forward.
Cao Chun and the soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion followed.
Cao Chun and Dian Wei's actions were basically within the scope of the potter's calculations, and among Cao Cao's three armies, the two most brave and combative corps were the Tiger and Par Battalion and the Lion and Tiger Army, which the potters had known for a long time.
Therefore, in order to deal with these two corps, the potters were naturally prepared for a long time.
On the frontal battlefield, after killing a round trip in the ranks of the death squads, the wolf riders and the white horse army turned around and rushed back in the direction they had rushed from.
On the front of the city, there were already abducted horses led by Xu Huang and Tiefutu and the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu rushed from the frontal battlefield.
And the Jinling White Horse Army and the Bingzhou Wolf Rider turned around and went around again, and once again killed back from two directions.
The Iron Butcher had already rushed into the frontal battle, with the kidnappers and horses supporting them on either side.
The two heavy cavalry crashed together, making an earth-shattering loud noise.
And Dian Wei also bumped into his old enemy, Xu Chu, in the chaos of the army.
