"Kill...!"

Cao Zhang called for a while, and when he saw that Gao Shun was not introduced, he urged the tiger and leopard knights under his command to do their best to rush and kill.

Gao Shun led the trapped camp to block it to the death.

is worthy of being the elite of the trapped camp who has been famous for many years, and in the face of Cao Zhang's tiger and leopard ride, he will not take a step back. With his shield and his body, he blocked the attacks again and again.

Time has passed, half a pillar of incense...

Gao Shun's trapped camp had many casualties.

Boom boom...

Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly heard countless cannon shots, which shocked him and almost made him deaf. When he looked up, he saw that Cao Zhang's tiger and leopard riders had been subjected to heavy shelling.

Clouds of black smoke rose and blood mist filled the air...

One by one, the horses were swept away by a powerful force.

Gao Shun shouted excitedly: "It's our reinforcements!" Brethren, our reinforcements have arrived. Get out of the way! ”

Roar, roar, roar...

The soldiers responded to Gao Shun and retreated sharply.

"Withdraw!"

After Cao Zhang was shelled, he also understood what was going on, turned around and ran.

The power of artillery is incomparable.

The continuous shelling caused heavy casualties among the Haw Par Knights.

Boom boom...

Han Xin personally commanded the 3rd Artillery Regiment and beat him hard into the distance. The fire covered a thousand meters. Anyone who does not escape this distance is very likely to die in the next moment.

"General Han, thank you for your assistance."

Gao Shun returned to the back and met Han Xin.

"You're welcome." Han Xin said: "The enemy has withdrawn, and General Gao doesn't have to chase anymore." Let's hurry up, the lord is waiting in the back. ”

"Okay."

Gao Shun took his troops and returned the same way.

Han Shin's 3rd Artillery Regiment, continued the shelling.

Boom boom...

To the southeast, the 2nd Artillery Regiment, where Lu Bu belonged, was also ready. Seeing that Cao Zhang's tiger and leopard rider was about to run, he did not hesitate to open fire, causing a heavy blow to Cao Zhang's tiger and leopard rider.

Fortunately, Cao Zhang's luck was good, and he really let him run away. Coming out of the battlefield under heavy artillery fire, only the crutch of his left arm was slightly injured.

Cao Zhang led the remnants of the tiger and leopard cavalry and left the camp in embarrassment.

Go to catch up with Cao Cao.

On the official road.

Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops were evacuated.

Cao Cao sat outside the car, glanced at Cao Zhang, and said, "Wu'er is brave, is the injury serious?" ”

"Back to my father, the child is fine. The shell was still far away from the child, but it was just scratched by shrapnel. Cao Zhang replied.

"What about the casualties of the tiger and leopard riders?"

Cao Zhang's expression darkened slightly, and he said hesitantly: "Our tiger and leopard cavalry was shelled, and more than half of the casualties were lost. ”

"You should retreat and rest first, and recuperate from your injuries." Cao Cao said.

"No."

Cao Zhang dragged his injured arm and went to the rear army.

Cao Cao turned around and went back to the car.

"King Wei's heart hurts?" There was also Sima Yi sitting in the car.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry is the spearhead of our army, and we dare not say that we are invincible in land warfare, at least it is a rare opponent. I was so badly injured by Lu Bu's artillery, how could I not be heartbroken? Cao Cao said slightly angrily.

"The king of Wei went to the border to garrison troops and had no intention of attacking Lü Bu. Lu Bu took the initiative to attack, with ..... The king of Wei took advantage of the reason, and waited for Weichen to send an envoy to negotiate with Lu Bu to see what he had to say. Sima Yi said.

"What is the point of the discussion?"

"If you don't have a point, you're just delaying time."

Sima Yi laughed twice and said: "King Wei mobilized troops and horses from all walks of life to guard the border, which was originally a delaying strategy. It was to divert Lu Bu's attention and not let him fight Hanzhong County again. Now the Wei king's strategy has succeeded. Lu Bu personally led a large army here, how could he afford to buy Hanzhong? The king of Wei also took this opportunity to show Lü Bu. If he wants to buy Hanzhong by force, it will be a war. ”

"Lü Bu's artillery is limited, and all the armies are tired. The newly recruited and incorporated 500,000 troops will also need to be trained urgently in the future. And also... According to the news from our detailed work, all the captains and generals under Lu Bu are studying in Shouchun, and it is impossible for him to start a large-scale war against the king of Wei without the command of the generals. ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao felt that what Sima Yi said was reasonable.

As long as it can be delayed for a few months, or even a year, wait until Hebei's Bingzhou army is trained to become elite. Liu Bei of Xiliang had good relations with all different races. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang developed. At that time, you can plan well and besiege Lu Bu.

"If King Wei wants to end this troubled era and dominate the world, he needs to do the following three things." Sima Yi said slowly.

"Oh? Which three points? ”

Cao Cao was really curious.

Sima Yi said: "First, delay time. No matter how provocative Lu Bu was, the King of Wei could not face the battle, and should try his best to seek peace. Only by taking a long break to raise the army and raise the people and strengthen the strength can the king of Wei win. Second, unite all forces that can be united. Whether it was Liu Bei, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, or Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Goguryeo, as long as they were willing to submit to the King of Wei, the King of Wei accepted them all and united them to fight against Lü Bu. Third, it is necessary to strengthen the national and people's strength, and wait for the right time.... ”

"King Wei should know that the people under Lu Bu's rule have more than two million young adults. Even if the King of Wei could get away with destroying all his army. With Lu Bu's prestige and the food in his hands, he could immediately raise an army of one million. So if you want to defeat Lu Bu, you must not be in a hurry. ”

"To put it bluntly, fighting a war does not depend on the number of soldiers, nor does it rely on attacking cities. It's the power of the country and the people. It depends on how many people are behind the warring parties, and how much grain is in the treasury. That's the difference between victory and defeat. ”

After Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Cao thought so deeply and replied: "Zhong Da's words are good." ”

Cao Cao thought to himself that maybe this was the only way to defeat Lu Bu. Even if Guo Jia is alive, he will suggest this.

........................

After the battle that night.

Lu Bu, Han Xin, and Gao Shun successively led their troops to retreat to Nanchang City.

This battle consumed 10,000 shells.

More than 6,000 soldiers were killed or wounded.

Although the price is a bit big, it is worth it. Because he tried out Cao Cao's true intentions. Cao Cao's arrival at the border of Yuzhang County was bluffing, and he did not really want to attack Yangzhou.

Now Lu Bu can rest assured.

Nanchang City.

In the government.

Han Xin, Gao Shun, and Li Yuanba are all there.

Lu Bu said: "Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wu County are still guarded by General Gao. When I return to Shouchun, I will ask Liang Hongyu to give you 50,000 additional troops. All you have to do is hold on to these three counties. ”

"Yes."

Gao Shun replied.

"The lord can't return to Shouchun yet. Someone should be sent to Xudu to negotiate with Cao Cao. Then sign the agreement. Strive to have no fighting within a year. When the lord is ready, he will go to Cao. Han Xin said.

"After I return to Shouchun, don't you send someone to Xu Dao? Cao Cao should be more anxious than me, because he doesn't know what I think, and he is afraid that I will lead a new army and take Xu Du directly. It stands to reason that he should have sent an envoy to negotiate with me. Perhaps by the time I reach Shouchun, his messenger will also arrive. Lu Budao.

"Yes..."

Han Xin did not argue with Lu Bu on this issue.
