Chapter Eighty-Seven: Attack on the Camp
It's been three days, and the tragic siege battle in Dingyuan County has been going on for three days.
Tens of thousands of corpses remained under the city, blood staining the entire city walls red, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.
After three days of fierce fighting, nearly half of Wei Yan's soldiers suffered casualties, and the rest were exhausted.
The casualties on Cao Bao's side were even heavier, with less than 50,000 of the more than 90,000 left.
Looking at the casualty report in his hand, Cao Bao didn't blink.
It's just some untouchables, and the most important thing in this troubled world is the homeless, even if they die, it doesn't hurt them.
Cao Bao frowned, the casualties are so big, but Dingyuan County hasn't been beaten yet, the situation is a little bad!
The news of the defeat of that kid of the Chen family Cao Bao already knew. After hearing the news at that time, Cao Bao just sneered mockingly.
What is the genius of the Chen family once in a century, the leader of the younger generation in Xuzhou, but a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper.
usually talks about it and pretends to be like everyone in the art of war, but as soon as you go to the battlefield, you lose 40,000 troops, see what else can you say in the future?
If there were 40,000 more troops in his hands now, I am afraid that Dingyuan County would have been defeated long ago.
In the past three days of fierce battles, although Cao Bao's morale has been very low, the soldiers under Wei Yan's command are now almost to the limit. Nearly three times its strength, the exhaustion of the army consumes the opponent.
Cao Bao has already seen that the current situation is very unfavorable for his side, and it can be said that this family's campaign against Yangzhou is basically a failure.
Yuzhang, the weakest point in Yangzhou, couldn't be taken, Cai Mao, as the main force of his side, was firmly dragged, and Chen Deng, who secretly threatened the other party, was now defeated. Even if his side wins, he will have to suffer heavy casualties, and at most he can take Jiujiang, and it is basically impossible to attack Danyang and Wu County.
However, although the battle failed on the whole, it doesn't mean that Cao Bao can't take advantage of it! Although Jiujiang is not as rich as Danyang and Wujun, there is a lot of oil and water in it.
Recently, the family has been sending letters urging them to go back, saying that some Xiaoxiao is constantly encroaching on the power of their own family and the Chen family.
The Chen family still has that old thing of Chen Gui, and he is such a backbone of his own family, and if he doesn't go back, he may fall into the calculation of the old thing of the Chen family.
If it weren't for the hope of breaking through Jiujiang, Cao Bao would have had the heart to retreat.
Now Cao Bao has made up his mind to continue to attack Dingyuan County with all his might. After the fight, he plundered in Jiujiang, and left after earning enough oil and water.
Of course, this also fell into Lu Su's calculations.
If you don't give these families some color, come ruthlessly, and let them know that Yangzhou is not easy to mess with, and it is not a place where they can come and leave as they want, and it is estimated that they will encounter more troubles in the future.
Seeing that Wei Yan's troops had basically reached their limit, and Cao Bao's strength and morale were now much weaker than before, Lu Su realized that it was time.
That night, Lu Su called Gao Shun and Wei Yan over: "The time to break the enemy is tonight!" ”
Lu Su turned his head to look at Wei Yan, he was the key tonight: "Wen Chang, can the soldiers under your command still be able to hold on?" ”
Wei Yan clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Strategist, please rest assured, when a certain corporal is successful, he can be ten with one." ”
Lu Su nodded: "This time, the two of you must work together, Peping will lead the trapping camp, and Wen Chang will be responsible for assisting, so be sure to leave all the remaining 50,000 troops in Yangzhou!" Let them know that Yangzhou is not easy to mess with! ”
In the end, Lu Su, who has always had a warm temperament like jade, had a rare aura of murder on his face.
Honest people don't get angry often, but it's not terrible to be angry!
Although Lu Su is from a family, he has the world in mind, and his family is just a non-mainstream family, so he naturally does not have much selfishness.
During this time, following Yuan Shu, Lu Su gradually understood what he and the others were doing? Not only to dominate the world, but also to explore a new path.
Although he didn't know if this path would be successful, Lu Su really saw the benefits of this path and the infinite possibilities.
Now Yangzhou has taken shape, and everything is thriving. All are driven to create wealth, but at the same time all are benefiting. The profits of these families have not been exploited much, but have increased a lot.
Lu Su understood why these families attacked Yangzhou, but although he understood, he did not agree because of different positions.
The position of Lu Su, who is easy to give and basically cuminate, is biased towards the position of the common people and the poor, and pursues the prosperity and strength of the entire Han Dynasty. Therefore, Lu Su felt very angry that these families were raising troops just for this.
Although Gao Shun and Wei Yan didn't understand Lu Su's anger, they still promised to leave.
It was night, and the soldiers under Cao Bao's command were still resting. Because of the three consecutive days of fighting, these soldiers were a little tired and slept deeply. And Cao Bao saw that Wei Yan's soldiers were also very tired, so he was a little negligent in the inspection and defense of the camp.
Gao Shun didn't bother to sneak attack secretly, and directly formed a military formation with open swords and guns to break in. In the face of this kind of army that is basically defenseless and does not counterattack very fiercely, the powerful trap camp is directly crushed like chopping melons and vegetables.
Wei Yan, who followed later, watched the mechanical slaughter of the trapped camp in a daze, terrifying!
These soldiers turned into terrifying killing machines, basically blocking the opponent's attack with a shield with their left hand, slashing with a knife with their right hand, and then the opponent fell at their feet.
The movements are neat, simple and crisp, without any bells and whistles. is such a block and a slash, combined with the strong individual soldier quality and basically unlimited defense of the trapping camp, the effect is a completely one-sided slaughter.
Wei Yan was stunned by his kung fu, and he killed hundreds of soldiers in the camp, and he was unharmed. Wei Yan was shocked by this terrifying picture, and the hearts of these family soldiers were full of fear, and their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Anyone who encounters this kind of army that can't be killed or even injured will probably tremble in their hearts.
At this time, it was dark night, and the camp was in front, and nearly 10,000 soldiers under Wei Yan's command followed him to clean up the remnants of the surrounding soldiers. These soldiers who met head-on couldn't see that there were only a thousand people in the trapped camp, and they thought that these countless soldiers were all monsters like the trapped camp, and their morale suddenly collapsed and they fled one after another.
After Cao Bao came out of the tent, he also saw the scene of the slaughter in the camp, and he was also dumbfounded.
What a bunch of perverts this is! There is a terrifying special army in Yangzhou, and Cao Bao also knows about it, but no one tells him that there is another one!
Cao Bao only took a slight look to know that the general trend had gone, and the number of Wei Yan's troops who followed behind was also tens of thousands, and he didn't show any tiredness during the day, all of them were the same as the top soldiers, and all of them could pick three.
On his side, there are 50,000 panicked and tired soldiers, and they are also miscellaneous soldiers. How is this battle fought?
Cao Bao didn't say a word, turned around and ran away with the pro-military camp. Gao Shun saw this scene from afar, but did not make any moves.
In fact, if Gao Shun wanted to keep the other party, it would not be difficult, but Lu Su had reminded him before that he must let Cao Bao go.
It's okay to simply defeat these children of the family, but it's not easy to deal with them if you really catch them.
If you kill it, then you will really be fighting with these families, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?
But if it is released, where will Yuan Shu's face go? Won't the other party jump more in the future?
Therefore, Lu Su and Guo Jia directly chose to be out of sight. It's good that everyone knows in their hearts, I won't mess with you, and you don't mess with me again, each of them will leave a line. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless next time it is planted in my hands.
