Chapter 566: Destroying Cao (23)

"yes, yes..."

All the generals whispered and talked about the war.

Sima Yi remained silent all along....

Cao Cao slowly raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "After the battle some time ago, our strength has decreased sharply. If he fought with Lu Bu again and lost his troops, it would undoubtedly be self-defeating. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, it seems that he doesn't want to fight anymore?

Everyone was puzzled.

Xun Yu also asked, "What does King Wei mean?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The so-called wealth is sought in danger. The battle of Kannai, we are sure to fight, not only to fight, but also to win! However, it is no longer possible to engage LΓΌ Bu head-on. I have already ordered Xu Huang of Dongjun to lead all the soldiers and horses and retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass. The 80,000 naval troops of Hanoi County were ordered to be strictly armed. And we.... Enter the customs immediately. After that, stick to the three levels! I believe that with the solidity of the three levels, Lu Bu can be stopped. ”

"King Wei means.... Do you want to go to war with Xu Shu now? Cheng Yu asked.

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded. Before implementing the method of defending the three levels, Xu Shu must be defeated first.

Cheng Yu was very worried and said: "Xu Shu's 1st Group Army is extremely strong. The minister suggested a detour to Dongjun. From Dongjun to Tiger Prison Pass, you can also reach the Guannai. ”

"That's hundreds of miles of detour. If you delay too long, it's not good for me. Cao Cao did not agree.

"Zhongda, why don't you speak?" Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi knelt on the side, heard Cao Cao call him, propped himself up, arched his hand and said, "What the King of Wei said is exactly what the minister wants to say." King Wei is wise. Please give the order of the King of Wei to start a war against Xu Shu and defeat him! ”

"Good!"

With Sima Yi's affirmation, Cao Cao was also a lot more relieved.

He got up and said, "Cao Ren." ”

"Yes."

"Mobilize heavy troops and march towards Guangcheng Pass. Defeat Xu Shu! Cao Cao said.

"Yes."

Cao Ren originally did not have the confidence to fight with Xu Shu, but now with the support of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, he can be regarded as having some confidence. Whether or not you can beat the 1st Army, you have to try.

Next.

Early in the morning.

The sun is shining and the sky is cloudless.

Cao Ren led 100,000 righteous soldiers and 50,000 foot soldiers to Xu Shu's defense line.

Meantime.

Han Xin also led the 1st Army and rushed to Guangcheng Pass.

Because of Cao Cao's arrival, Xu Shu changed his mind. Now the crisis can only be avoided by quickly occupying Guangchengguan.

The 3rd Army of Cao Xing, which was responsible for garrisoning the first line of defense. Although they occupied the dangerous and commanding heights, the roads were also cut off, and there were arrow towers and horses were set up. But they didn't have grenades. There were also no assault rifles, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

With 30,000 strong crossbows, can you resist more than 200,000 heavy soldiers?

Xu Shu took Song Xian to Cao Xing's headquarters (a hidden high ground). Standing here, you can look down on the entire battlefield.

Knock knock...

Cao Ren waved his long knife, and the drums behind him rang out in unison.

"Phew!"

Cao Ren drove forward and shouted, "Listen to the thief army on the other side. Now I have 200,000 heavy troops, and I will be able to destroy you. Those who know each other quickly surrender. The king of Wei will not be blamed for the past. ”

Roar, roar, roar...

The soldiers behind Cao Ren all demonstrated to the enemy with roars.

Cao Xing's 3rd Army, lying in his position, did not move. did not respond to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren's long knife pointed and shouted, "Kill...!" ”

The first to strike was 50,000 iron horsemen. Rushed along the official road to Xu Shu's first line of defense. Cao Xing stood in the ravine of the first line of defense, and also drew his sword and shouted: "All brigades and regiments listen to the order and release arrows!" ”

Whoosh...

Three regiments of three-bowed crossbows fired upwards and peacefully at the onrushing enemy.

They are clearly specially trained. Shoot with a three-bow crossbow to cover the enemy's rear army to a greater extent. Flat fire slows down the offensive edge of the enemy's cavalry.

The combination of the two shooting methods makes it even more powerful.

Puff puff...

The 50,000 righteous soldiers who rushed over were shot and killed.

One by one, the war horses were hit by arrows, and they were also running wildly.

"Rush over, rush through that ravine..."

Cao Ren kept shouting from behind.

The speed of the light ride is extremely fast.

Rao is blocked by countless three-bow crossbows, and he can't stop the galloping light horses.

Finally, a few thousand people were about to reach the ravine.

Cao Xuan stood up in surprise and shouted, "Retreat, retreat to the second line of defense!" ”

Puff puff...

Cao Xing retreated a little late, and was eaten a regiment in an instant.

He narrowly retreated to the second line of defense and urgently armed.

"It seems that it will not work without artillery. couldn't stop Cao Ren's light cavalry at all. In Cao Xing's headquarters, Xu Shu said to Song Xian: "Hurry up and transfer the 3rd Division left by Han Xin, enter the battle, and first repel Cao Ren's light cavalry." ”

"No."

Song Xian sent a few heralds to the rear to deliver orders.

It didn't take long.

Han Shin's third division came to the third line of defense in front. This is the last line of defense. If the 3rd Division can't hold it either. can only watch Cao Ren kill Guangcheng Pass.

The commander of the 3rd Division was named Jiang He, and he was a capable general under Han Xin. In the Battle of Yizhou, he shined.

Da Da Da Da ....

Cao Xing's second line of defense was also lost, and with several regiments of troops, he hurriedly retreated. Behind Cao Xing, followed by tens of thousands of cavalry, the scene was very spectacular.

Jiang He stood behind the third line of defense, saw Cao Xing's defeated troops swarming over, and hurriedly said: "Give General Cao Xuan a warning, let his troops move to both sides, don't destroy the formation of our army." ”

"No."

A flag-bearer and a drummer leave.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The drummer beat the drum three times.

The flag soldier waved the flag and motioned for Cao Xing to lean on both sides.

Cao Xuan saw the warning of the flag soldier and hurriedly arranged it. All the defeated soldiers divided into two parts and retreated to the high ground on both sides.

"Hit!"

As soon as Cao Xing's troops retreated, tens of thousands of light horsemen rushed over. The assault gun, which had a range of 1,000 meters, slammed into the distance of a kilometer: "Bang Bang Bang..." ”

The power of the assault rifle, that is absolutely powerful.

Whether it is close combat, long-range attack, field battle, or defensive battle, they all have an absolute advantage.

In a word, range is everything!

Puff puff...

There was a division of assault assault attacks. One round of bullets went down, and Cao Ren's light cavalry was knocked down by hundreds. I saw the formation in front of me, and a large number of them fell.

Hearing the familiar sound of gunshots, Cao Ren's heart trembled.

He knew that it was Han Shin's 1st Army who had made the move.

The more critical it is, the more he can't give up. Now that he has broken through two lines of defense in a row, if he breaks through one more, the enemy is in no danger to defend, and he can start a full-scale attack.

"Kill, kill...!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth and shouted.

Da Da...

More than 10,000 horsemen went for reinforcements.

All the cavalry rushed to the third line of defense in desperation.

In Cao Xing's headquarters, Xu Shu and Song Xian both clenched their fists and stared at the battlefield without blinking. For fear that Cao Ren's cavalry would break through the defense line and lead to the defeat of the entire battle.
