The two armies outside Yanling City faced each other, the whole army of Cao's army wore black armor, the sky was full of dark clouds, and gradually drifted towards Yanling City, and the sky and the ground were like black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.

The flag is displayed, the Cao character handsome flag and the Xiang character will be in front, the generals will be in the back, the soldiers will move according to the flag, the seven thousand army formation conversion is flowing water, the left and right wings are guarded by tiger and leopard cavalry, the shield soldiers list the tortoiseshell formation in front, the archers are behind the shield soldiers, and the Changge soldiers are ready to replace the archers at any time.

Xiang Qing and Cao Cao were in front, and the generals behind him were lined up, and in front of them was Bo Cai, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, and Bo Cai also had a number of generals with yellow turbans on his head, but the number was only 3,000 infantry.

Cao Cao came quickly, the Yellow Turban did not have time to transfer troops, there were only 8,000 defenders in Yanling City, Zhang Jiao could only transfer the general Bo Cai away from the main battlefield, but there was no way to send reinforcements to Bo Cai.

The two sides were evenly matched in terms of strength, but Bo was the defender, Cao Cao was the besieger, and Bo Cai only relied on a not very high city wall. and gained an advantage.

The Art of War: Ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided. That is to say, the true principle of warfare with troops must be: when the strength of the enemy is ten times that of the enemy, encircle and annihilate them; When the enemy is five times as strong, he attacks them head-on; When the enemy is twice as strong, try to disperse them and break them one by one.

The number of Cao Jun is not even as good as the Yellow Turban Army, but if you talk about the elite level, the Yellow Turban Army will be slightly inferior, in terms of morale, the real Yellow Turban Army, just like activating the buff in the game, is simply an army that will never be defeated, and Cao Jun wins in the quality of individual soldiers and the coordination of battle formations, and the two armies have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The two armies are facing each other, and the early confrontation must be to test each other and confirm the strength of the other party, last night's night attack was Bo Cai's test of Cao Cao, and the night attack troops were all wiped out, which also made Bo Cai understand that Cao Cao's army must be not ordinary.

The two armies fought head-on, and Xiahoudun, who was eager to try, had already jumped out of his horse, and he changed to a forty-pound broadsword, and was about to test his power.

"Phew! Yellow Turban Kids! Who dares to come out and die! ”

Bo Cai looked back, his eyes on the bodies of the generals behind him, until his gaze rested on a person, who was tall and large, holding a heavy hammer in his hand, and looked extraordinary.

Bocai nodded at him: "Go ahead." ”

The Yellow Turban general slowly stepped out of the ranks, urged the war horse to walk towards Xiahoudun, walked to a distance of five meters and stopped, and said: "Come and get famous, and don't kill the nameless." ”

"Grinding and chirping like a girl, I am your grandfather Xiahoudun!"

The long knife pointed out, the enemy general gave the head, Xiahoudun's long knife fell to the ground, and a good head fell to the ground with the sound of the knife, and the morale of Cao Jun was greatly boosted.

After the success of our generals, the shield soldiers in the front row will hit their shields with their swords, which will match the sound of war drums in the rear, which will bring a great morale boost.

"Who else dares to fight!"

Xiahoudun was full of spirits, his new knife had been opened with the blood of the enemy general, and this knife would also accompany him and achieve resonance, at this time he was like a god descending to earth, and the enemy generals were all silent.

No one answered his words, Bocai's face became solemn, and he sighed and said, "Retreat." ”

The sound of Jin Ming sounded on the city tower, this is the meaning of Ming Jin's collection of troops, the suspension bridge of Yanling City slowly fell, the rear team of the Yellow Turban Army became the front team, leaving behind the broken personnel, and quickly retreated to the city, Cao Cao immediately ordered the pursuit, Xiahou Dun took the lead, wielding a long knife into the enemy formation.

In the process of pursuit, Xiang Qing let the shield soldiers in the front row hold their shields high, and the archers in the back row suppressed the yellow turban archers on the city wall.

The city is intertwined with arrows and rains, and the soldiers of the Cao army under the city hold their shields high to form a tortoiseshell array and advance quickly, the so-called tortoiseshell array is that the soldiers hold their shields high and advance according to the formation, if they look down from the sky, this formation is like a tortoiseshell.

The Yellow Turban archers on the city are shooting downward, and the Cao Army archers under the city are projectiles, because the projectiles need to be full of bows and arrows, which is a relatively disadvantaged, and now the physical strength is sufficient and I can't see it, but after a while, the city will definitely be suppressed by the city.

The key now is whether Xiahoudun can lead the infantry to seize control of the drawbridge, and even if he captures the drawbridge, whether he can protect the battering ram from reaching the city gate is also a question.

In fact, if you seize the suspension bridge, you will definitely not waste your efforts by using the tiger and leopard ride, but now it is only a tentative stage, and the killer weapon of the tiger and leopard ride should still be put in the back, and now you will expose your hole cards, so that the wave can take precautions.

After the last wave of the Yellow Turban Army was broken, the troops were intercepted by Xiahoudun, and Bocai also made a quick decision and ordered the soldiers to pull up the drawbridge, which soon left the moat.

Xiahoudun saw the suspension bridge rise, his heart sank, and immediately urged the war horse to go straight to the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge just rose one and a half meters, Xiahoudun's war horse front hooves raised the hind hooves to exert force, more on the suspension bridge, the soldiers behind immediately followed, pressed the suspension bridge with their bodies, and struggled to climb on the suspension bridge.

At this time, Bo Cai had already appeared on the city wall, and at this moment, everyone's eyes were on Xiahoudun.

A Yellow Turban general shouted: "General! Let me lead my troops out of the city and guarantee to repel Cao's army! ”

"General! Let's get out of town! ”

He raised his right hand to signal the generals to shut up, and then observed carefully, and saw that Xiahoudun had led the soldiers to start the battle for the drawbridge, and the soldiers on the drawbridge could no longer resist Xiahoudun's attack.

"Ignition!" Bocai ordered.

There was a bonfire on the wall, and when the Yellow Turban archers heard the order, they immediately replaced their arrows with rockets.

Bocai pointed to the battering ram that was almost on the drawbridge and shouted, "Aim for that battering ram!" Concentrate on shooting! ”

The rockets were fired on the battering ram, a wooden structure, which was quickly engulfed in flames, and even the soldiers with the battering rams turned into running burning men.

Xiang Qing secretly said that it was a pity, and Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops, let Yuan Rang withdraw, the archers don't spare the bow and arrow, suppress the city fiercely for me, and let the front army withdraw!" ”

The heralds around him stood on the chariot, holding high the command flag of both hands, playing the flag of the whole army's retreat, the war drums in the rear stopped, and the sound of gold was heard.

At this moment, Xiahoudun has successfully seized control of the drawbridge, he is only ten meters away from the gate of Yanling City, hearing the sound of gold behind him, he looked at the gate of Yanling City that was slowly closing with unwillingness, sighed fiercely, raised his sword and led the soldiers to retreat.

After Xiahoudun broke off in the end, the Yellow Turban Army in the city had no idea of pursuing, and the entire Cao army safely withdrew to the camp.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, Xiahoudun rushed straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he opened the curtain, he saw that all the generals were there.

"Big brother! I've taken the drawbridge! It's just one step away from attacking Yanling City! Why did Mingjin withdraw his troops! ”

Xiang Qing handed a glass of water to Xiahoudun and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang, you see that your voice is hoarse, let's drink saliva first." ”

Xiahoudun shouted anxiously: "Oh, second brother! I'm not in the mood to drink water! Seeing that the gate of Yanling City is in front of you, give me a stick of incense time, and what is floating on the head of Yanling City is our Cao Zi Flag! Oops, I'm in a hurry. ”

Chen Zhi stood up and said to Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, don't blame the lord, it is my responsibility to fail to take Yanling this time, and it is my responsibility that I did not protect the battering ram well." ”

Just now, Xiahoudun was struggling to kill on the suspension bridge, and he didn't see the battering ram burned at all, so he blamed Cao Cao for giving up the great opportunity, and now he heard Chen Zhi say that the battering ram was burned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiang Qing is the best at doing this kind of thing to solve the siege, he stood up and said: "Yuan Rang don't be in a hurry, and Uncle Zhi should not feel guilty, it's not your fault." ”

"The two generals have worked hard, so sit down and rest first." Cao Cao said: "This attack itself is a temptation, if it is really time for a decisive battle, I will hand over the task of capturing the suspension bridge to the tiger and leopard cavalry, and our siege equipment is not very complete. ”

Xiang Qing took over and said: "Generals don't underestimate this spinach, he is still quite capable, I have seen a lot of guards when I fought in Liangzhou, this spinach is deep in the method of defending the city, and he is also good at night attacks, he has the ability to see the fire and grasp the opportunity is also among the second-rate famous generals, and he must be cautious when dealing with him." ”

"But!" Xiang Qing suddenly raised his voice: "No matter how powerful he is, he is a second-rate and a bandit!" All of you here are the top generals and first-class commanders in the future! In this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat! Do you understand everything? ”

"No!"

Xiang Qing reunited the morale of these generals in just a few words, and Cao Cao also admired in his heart, this is the ability that a famous general should have, in his cognition of famous generals, the ability to march and fight should be ranked second, and the first place is the ability to condense the generals and strategists under him! That's all that matters!

"Junhe is right, we must not be in a hurry, we will participate in the Long Society War in the future, so we must not lose too many troops now, and we must use the minimum price to achieve the greatest victory!"

All the generals nodded thoughtfully, but the whole row of generals on the left, let them charge, that is a top bravery, let them come up with an idea, but it is difficult to do it, except for a frontal attack, they can't think of any other way.

There are only a few people in the Wenchen column on the right, Xu Shu and Wang Shu are only three people, Xu Shu is still half-literate and half-martial, and the future ministers don't know where they are.

It's these ministers, but they are already all in the chest, Xu Shu glanced at Xi Zhicai, which means: You say it first, I won't say it, my mouth is tired.

Xi Zhicai reluctantly stepped out of the queue and said, "Lord, there is a plan below." ”
