Chapter 331: The Battle of Guandu (18)

Jia Xu shook his head: "I don't know if Xi Zhicai is properly prepared, if he gets burned, it will be worth the loss, Guandu is Cao Cao's last barrier, if he loses it, it will be a bolt from the blue for Cao Cao!" ”

"That's not something we have to worry about, Cao Cao dared to leave Xi Zhicai to defend, he had to take this risk, in case he lost Guandu, it had nothing to do with us, we could only blame him for his bad luck!" Zhang Zhen said with a smile.

Jia Xu frowned: "In case Cao Cao fails, Yuan Shaoke will be like a fish in water, and the lord's current situation will be too difficult!" ”

Zhang Zhen frowned when he saw Jia Xu for the first time, and he also felt that it was indeed a little difficult to do, in case Cao Cao was not Yuan Shao's opponent, most of the Han Dynasty was in Yuan Shao's hands, and no one would put it in his eyes at this time, the next target must be himself, at least Nanpi would definitely not be able to live.

"Hahaha......" Zhang Zhen smiled: "Wen He, don't talk like this, didn't Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fight yet?" Even if Cao Cao loses, what if we win in the future? Okay, no, watch the show! ”

Yuan Shao's army thought that Guandu had been defeated, and the siege of the city all night, and the soldiers had eaten early and rested.

Suddenly, behind the camp, due east, the sun was rising, and it was fiery red. The earth began to tremble, and Yuan Shao's soldiers couldn't stand still.

"What's that? What happened? Yuan Shao immediately ordered someone to check it out.

"The sun is coming?" Yuan Tan exclaimed and questioned.

The soldiers of Yuan Shao, who were awakened, all gathered at the gate and looked at the firelight in the distance. The fire was getting closer and closer, and there was less than a mile to go.

"What's on fire? Why are you still moving? "The soldiers sent out by Yuan Shao to investigate have not returned.

"Not good!" Guo Tu shouted: "Fire, coming towards us!" ”

Everyone woke up from a dream. The fire in the distance was coming towards Yuan Shao's camp, and the sound of thunder was more terrible than the river bursting its banks. The fire is getting closer and closer, and no one knows what it is.

"My lord, go away! Come on! The scout who had been sent out to check on yelled as he galloped towards the camp on his horse.

I saw it clearly, I saw it clearly, although there were still three hundred steps, and those with good eyes could see it clearly, what kind of monsters they were, one by one like ploughing oxen, but what was on the horns? The glittering caries of the soldiers were different from ordinary ploughing oxen, they were covered in thorny armor, and their bodies without armor were also tied with steel knives.

I don't know why, the ploughing cow became so manic, with the blades of his whole body, and rushed into Yuan Shao's camp. Some of the soldiers were trampled to death in their tents by ploughing oxen in their sleep. Many more woke up to be either stabbed to death by steel knives on the horns of cattle or squeezed to death by herds full of weapons.

There are too many mad cows, all over the mountains, and I am afraid that Cao Cao has brought all the movable cattle in his own territory, which are as many as thousands. Yuan Shao looked at it, if it was tens of thousands of soldiers, his own sergeants would still be able to deal with it, facing so many crazy beasts, no matter how brave you are, you can't do anything about them. Even if you kill one or two, what can you do?

"Protect the lord!" Guo Tu shouted loudly.

The soldiers have become a mess, and no one cares about Yuan Shao's life or death. The area where the herd passed was a mess, and the damaged ordnance and the flesh and blood of the dead soldiers were mixed together, making the whole camp like a region, and there was not a single intact human skeleton in the whole camp.

Yuan Shao finally escaped from the camp under the rescue of Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, and his heart was still full of fear when he looked behind him. The screams were still coming, and in just a few incense sticks, Yuan Shao's camp was completely razed to the ground, and tens of thousands of soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died at the feet of beasts. Of the entire 100,000 Rao brigade, less than half of them were able to escape.

"Wow! Burst! ......" Yuan Shao spurted a mouthful of blood several feet away.

Tai Shi Ci looked at it, and his heart palpitated: "Big brother, this Cao Cao really used this trick, fortunately these cows did not rush into the city gate, in case they entered, the fire on the tail of the ox must ignite the entire Guandu City, this thing is too terrible!" ”

"Yes! This is actually a lose-lose strategy, ploughing cattle is a must for farming, thousands of ploughing cattle were burned alive like this, and next year Cao Cao's military rations will be dangerous! Jia Xu said.

Zhang Zhen smiled: "When you gave Cao Cao this idea, didn't you just hope that Cao Cao would try not to provoke us after defeating Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao said that it seems that he will be in a hurry to get food next year, so he will not harass us. ”

"It's terrible for such a docile beast to get angry!" Tai Shici was also scared of the hellish Yuan Shao camp: "How did the eldest brother come up with such a trick to be condemned? ”

Zhang Zhen, who was choked on a word, didn't know how to answer, and several guards behind him covered their mouths and tried to hold back their smiles.

After the huge impact of the ploughing cattle swept through the camp of the Yuan army, many of them directly collided with the strong city walls. More and more cattle corpses were piled up under the walls of Guandu, and the smell of barbecued meat mixed with the smell of blood wafted in the air, even if it was more than ten miles away, it could be clearly smelled.

"Phew!" Cao Cao reined in his war horse: "Zhicai is still used, hurry up, Yuan Shao's army is attacking Guandu, hurry!" ”

Xiahoudun kept urging the soldiers to speed up. Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "The lord really thinks that the military advisor used Zhang Zhen's strategy? ”

Cao Cao nodded: "The smell in the air is clear about this!" ”

Xun Yu sniffed the air hard, and the air, mixed with two completely different smells, entered his nose. Xun Yu coughed lightly: "Li Hui's treacherous plan really succeeded, when he gave us this plan, he seemed careless, but in fact, he hoped that we would kill all the cultivated cattle in the whole territory." ”

"I also thought of this, now it seems that Cheng Yu has used it, let's think about what to do in the future!" Cao Cao's concern now is not the loss of the ploughing cattle, but the battle situation of Guandu, and the worst thing is that even if Xi Zhicai used that trick, he still did not defeat Yuan Shao.

"Faster! Guandu crisis! Fast! Cao Cao ordered loudly.

Yuan Shao was carried back to Yanjin, and it took a long time to wake up. As soon as he saw Yuan Tan, he couldn't hold back his tears: "How is the army?" ”

"More than half of the losses!" Yuan Tan had a bitter face: "I also received ......!" ”

"Childe!" Guo Tukou interrupted Yuan Tan's words: "Son, the lord's body has just recovered, let's do something twice!" ”

Yuan Tan nodded: "Father, let's have a good rest!" There are children, Cao Cao doesn't want to think about it! ”

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and nodded, motioning for Yuan Tan to go out. After Yuan Tan left, Yuan Shao suddenly opened his eyes: "Is someone looking at my jokes?" ”
