The first army to Chengdu was led by me personally. A brigade that goes to the Sword Pavilion, who wants to lead the army? Xu Ding asked.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to the Sword Pavilion." Ma Chao came out and said.

Ma Chao is the commander of the cavalry division, with 10,000 iron cavalry under his command.

Although they are all equipped with firearms, they are inferior to other armies in positional warfare and offensive and defensive warfare.

What's more, this time he came to Sichuan and Shu, Ma Chao only brought a brigade of troops.

Xu Ding shook his head and said, "Meng Qi, although you are brave, you may not be able to attack the Sword Pavilion. Do you know that the Sword Pavilion is a dangerous place? Even if it is a surprise attack, it must have a very strong ability to attack fortifications. ”

Ma Chao arched his hand and said: "How can the last general not know. ”

"Although the Sword Pavilion is dangerous, how can it resist without soldiers? The last general is willing to make a military order, and if he can't capture the Sword Pavilion and Qishan, he is willing to be dealt with by military law. ”

Since Ma Chao has such determination, Xu Ding can no longer refuse.

He responded: "Okay, let Meng Qi lead the cavalry of the headquarters and surprise attack the Sword Pavilion Pass." ”

"Yes."

"We attack in three ways, even if Sima Yi has great powers, he will inevitably take care of one and lose the other. What's more, Cao Cao's military strength is not as good as ours, how can he win? ”

Xu Ding's words made the morale of the generals high.

At this time, Dian Wei walked in from outside the account.

He handed Xu Ding an excerpt: "Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by General Lu Xun, please take a look at it." ”

"Bring it."

Xu Ding unfolded the fold.

It is written that the two divisions led by Lu Xun have defeated Cao Cao's more than 100,000 troops, of which 90,000 have been captured and tens of thousands have been killed or scattered.

In short, the battle of Chang'an came to a complete end.

In the end, Lu Xun won.

Xu Ding laughed, raised his head and said, "Let me tell you the good news, Lu Xun has won the battle of Chang'an." Cao Cao was wiped out by more than 100,000 elites, which can be described as a great injury to his vitality. The current Yizhou is almost an empty city. ”

"Hahaha..."

The news couldn't have come at a better time.

More than anything, it's more exciting.

"Your Majesty, what are we waiting for? This is going to kill Cheng Du. Ma Chao said.

"Hmm."

Xu Ding put away the fold and said, "Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, we no longer have any scruples. Generals, raise your troops tomorrow and capture Nanzhong, Jiange, and Chengdu according to the original plan. We must destroy Cao Cao's living force in the shortest possible time. Seal him up in Sichuan and Shu. and surrendered his troops. ”

"Remember, in this operation, all divisions and brigades must strictly respect the discipline of teachers. For the people of Yizhou, we must treat them like our relatives, and whoever dares to raise a butcher's knife to them will not be forgiven. In addition, Cao Jun's prisoners were not allowed to be beaten or scolded, and they were not allowed to do anything that insulted their dignity. The heavier ones are immediately killed! ”

"Yes..."

End of meeting.

All the generals went back to prepare for the expedition.

The next day.

Tai Shici and Ma Chao all led their subordinates to the battle.

Xu Ding left a battalion to defend Fucheng. Lead the remaining forces and go straight to Qianwei.

originally thought that this road would be smooth sailing, and there would be no large-scale resistance from Cao's army. However, after walking more than ten miles, he met a group of Cao Jun.

There were a lot of Cao soldiers in this gang.

There were 10,000 of them.

The generals who lead the army are full of favors.

Xu Ding still has a certain understanding of this person.

Full favor, the word Boning, Pei Guoren's family, in the first year of Jian'an, served Cao Cao, has always been a civilian. It wasn't until Xu Chu died in battle that he became Cao Cao's guard general.

Xu Ding didn't expect that Cao Cao would send him to lead the army to fight.

Could it be that ...

Isn't there a general under Cao Cao?

Thinking about it, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, etc., were all killed one after another. Cao Cao's subordinates, Cao Ren is a general. There are also Li Tong, full pet, etc.

At this difficult moment, Cao Cao is the most trusting and full of favor.

Led by full favor, although it may not win, it will not betray, and it will not surrender to Xuding.

In this regard, Cao Cao's choice is still very correct.

"Can a full pet lead the army?" Jia Xu chuckled.

"Who wants to go to the full battle?"

Xu Ding turned around slightly.

Suddenly, several regiment commanders stood up and said in unison: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Xu Ding didn't know these generals, he randomly clicked on one and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general Feng Lan."

"Captain Feng... Okay, do you dare to lead a regiment of troops against 10,000 Cao troops? Xu Ding asked.

With a thousand dozen ten thousand, normally, there will be some fear.

But the generals of the Xia Kingdom have developed an arrogance in their hearts, when have they ever taken Cao Cao's generals seriously? Don't say 10,000, even if it's more, what are they afraid of?

"The last general will not dare to say that he will win, but he will never insult the Xia Kingdom!" Feng Landau.

"Okay, I will allow you to lead the army and horses of your headquarters to meet the Cao army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Lan went to prepare.

Jia Xu frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, is it too risky for Regiment Commander Feng to let him lead a regiment to resist tens of thousands of Cao troops?" In case of.... ”

"Wen He doesn't have to worry, with us here to sweep the formation, even if Feng Lan is not victorious, there is still our support to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Xu Ding was not worried.

"Yes."

Jia Xu was skeptical.

.......

Feng Lan took a regiment and walked towards the front with his head held high.

Two miles away from the enemy, the formation began.

All the soldiers dispersed and occupied the high ground on both sides.

The engineer battalion set up barricades in front and dug ravines as defensive positions.

Xu Ding saw through the telescope that Feng Lan's regiment was surprisingly fast at the speed at which it built its position. Dozens of soldiers were digging with shovels. There are soldiers moving earth in the back.

It didn't take long...

Before the arrival of the enemy, the position is ready.

"Wenhe, Feng Lan's regiment, is it an elite regiment?" Xu Ding asked.

"It's not. They were only the most ordinary regiment in the Second Army. Jia Xu replied.

"Well, that's good."

Even the most ordinary regiments have such good quality of soldiers, and it seems that the Second Army has really mastered the essence of the new operational concept.

"The Second Group Army will master new types of weapons one year before the First Group Army, and in comparison, their combat effectiveness should be stronger than that of the First Group Army." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm."

Xu Ding also thought about it.

The first group formed at the beginning was not a new army, and most of the weapons they used were combat knives. Wear heavy armor and iron horses. There were only a small number of firearms. Later, the Second Army, in the Yangzhou area, won a victory and captured nearly 100,000 guns before they were replaced.

If we really want to talk about it, the combat effectiveness of the Second Army is far superior to that of the First Group.

.........

Man Zhong took 10,000 troops and came to Feng Lan's position.

The two armies were separated by 1,300 meters.

Before coming here, Man Pet had already fully understood Xu Ding's new army. In particular, he remembered the range of weapons and artillery clearly.

He will not easily get into danger until he is absolutely sure.

The order was given, and the whole army was divided into seven parts, spread out towards the two wings, led by their respective captains, and looked for dangerous places to garrison. No one is allowed to attack without my orders. ”

"No."

The captains under the command of Man Chong, with their respective subordinates, went to set up the defense line.

In the blink of an eye.

Tens of thousands of people left the place.

Feng Lan was stunned.

He blinked a few times, and the enemy was gone.

"It's... Go and ask Your Majesty, is our army advancing? "With such a big matter of advancing and retreating, Feng Lan didn't dare to make decisions easily.

After you need to ask for permission, you should act according to the order.

"Wenhe, look..." Xu Ding also didn't understand how Manzhong divided the troops into seven parts. Is this waiting for Feng Lan to break through?

Jia Xu stroked the beard under his forehead and said with a smile: "Full of favors is smart in the end." He was worried that our artillery would bombard him intensively, so he divided the army into seven. ”

"Although it will be broken by our troops, in a short period of time, it will be difficult for our artillery to cause a wide range of damage to them."

"That makes sense, so how do you meet the enemy now?" Xu Ding asked.

"Your Majesty, please see..." Jia Xu pointed straight ahead, about a mile away, there was a slope. On the top of the slope, a camp tent was set up, and the word "Man" was planted outside.

Jia Xu said: "That should be a big camp full of favors." As long as our army storms there, the surrounding Sixth Route Army will rush to the aid there. Because Cao Jun will not sit idly by and watch the Lord be captured. This gives us the opportunity to block and destroy halfway. If so, we will win. ”

"Just do as you say."

Someone was ordered to give orders.

After receiving the order, Feng Lan took his troops and killed them on the slope a mile away.

The troops marched quickly, like a gust of wind.

Go about a kilometer.

Feng Lan suddenly heard the official roads on the left and right, and there was a loud shout of killing.

He looked to the left and right.

The two enemy armies that were rushing towards him were both cavalry. Although the number is not large, not even two thousand. But they were all well-armed and heavily armoured.

"Block them!" Feng Lan shouted.

Bang bang bang...

The whole group was divided into three parts. Some hit to the left, some to the right. There is also a part as a reserve, supervising the battle in the middle.

Bell, bell, bell...

The bullet came and hit the enemy.

I only heard the sound of metal being hit, and the bullet did not have the slightest effect on Cao Jun.

Hiss...

Feng Lan gasped.

He knew very well the power of a bullet and could almost penetrate armor.

But the armor that Cao Jun was wearing in front of him didn't know what material it was made of, or how thick the armor was, and it could block bullets.

It's just horrible.

If even bullets can't kill them, then what's the use of his troops.

"Wenhe, this is not right, we were fooled, right?" Xu Ding reacted.

Man Zhong used himself as bait to lure the Xia army to attack, and then attacked halfway and wiped out the Xia army with an elite small force of cavalry.

This method of fighting was also often used by the Xia Kingdom.

But here, there is no realization.

"Full of pets is extremely smart. He had already guessed that we would focus on attacking his command post, so he arranged two ambushes in front of him, flanking from the left and right, and attacking our attacking troops. ”

Jia Xu also reacted.

Xu Ding held a telescope and carefully observed the front line.

The two thousand horsemen, soldiers, and horses of the Cao army were all covered with iron armor.

Ordinary swords and bullets can't penetrate it.

It is conceivable that the troops of 2,000 people must have been carefully built by Cao Cao at a huge cost.

Specifically designed against his new army.

"Pass the order, let Feng Lan lead the army back." Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

The point on the side ordered Mingjin.

Feng Lan, who was fighting in the front, heard the sound of gold and immediately retreated.

Afterwards...

Dian Wei's Imperial Forest Army, with a large number of grenades, entered the forward position.

When the enemy attacked, a total of more than 1,000 grenades were thrown out, and in an instant, they were torn apart and fled back.

Some of the enemy soldiers who were killed by the bombing, the armor remained on the battlefield.

Feng Lan took a set and sent it to Xu Ding.

"Your Majesty, this is the armor they wear. It can withstand our bullets. ”

Xu Ding stretched out his hand to pick it up.

But I felt that the armor was very heavy.

As a rough estimate, not less than a hundred catties.

With such heavy armor, can a soldier also fight when he wears it on his body?

Xu Ding felt incredible when he thought about it.

Unless everyone is a strong man and can carry hundreds of pounds, they can afford to wear such armor.

"Cao Cao is too stupid..." Jia Xu laughed.

"Stupid? Since when? Xu Ding asked.

"Your Majesty should know that the steel of our Xia Kingdom is countless times harder than the iron used by Cao Cao. As long as he buys our iron and uses it to make armor, the effect must be better than this, and it is not so heavy. And he chose to thicken his armor, this is not stupid, what is it? ”

All the items of the Xia Kingdom, including steel, were sold to the outside world.

Although it is expensive, it is not prohibited.

As long as Cao Cao is careful and buys and manufactures thousands of sets of armor, there is still no problem.

Thinking about it this way, Cao Cao is indeed stupid enough.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the enemy now?" Feng Lan asked anxiously.

"Stabilize the battle line first, and then make a decision after I discuss it with Wen He." Xu Dingdao.

"Yes."

Feng Lan returned to the battlefield, with his men, ready to defend the line to the death.

Jia Xu was worried that he would not be able to hold on, so he sent one or two more regiments to help.

More than 2,000 people built two blockades within a radius of one mile.

As long as the favored troops dare to come, they will definitely be devastated.

In the account.

Xu Ding and Jia Xu both studied the map again.

Judging from the map, the location of the full pet station is really important. Because if you want to enter Gandwei, you have to pass through there. If you take a detour, you can't get there unless you half a month.

What's even more worrying is that once the detour is made, the full favor will appear in the rear and pose a threat to the Xia army.

It can be seen that in order to resist the Xia Guojun, Man Pet has made some preparations. He even thought very clearly about the location and the way he was stationed.

Jia Xu said: "The only way to use artillery is to bombard the nearest enemy army. Crush them completely. After that, our army occupied it and expanded to both flanks. But... It takes a brave and wise general. Because of this mission, it was very dangerous, and after they occupied the other party's dangerous territory, they also fell into a heavy siege. And the enemy's bows and arrows are not far apart, and once they are broken through a few defensive lines, they will be fired by bows and arrows. ”

"I'm the only one who goes in person!" Xu Ding's words were astonishing.

Jia Xu was taken aback, and immediately said, "No! How can Your Majesty go to the danger in person? In case His Majesty fails, the minister will have ten heads, which will not be enough to cut off. For the sake of the minister's head, please don't go to the battlefield again. ”

Every time Xu Ding went to fight, Jia Xu would pinch a cold sweat.

He made up his mind that no matter what Xu Ding said, he would not agree.

Because leading a small force to the enemy's position may be attacked at any time. Jia Xu didn't want to see that Xu Ding had an accident under his nose.

This responsibility...

He can't afford it!
