Chapter 360: Chaos
The sky was dark, the wind and snow were howling, and the knife-like wind was still drilling through the cracks even if he was wearing a thick cotton coat under the armor.
The sight passed through the somewhat blurred air, and on the battlefield full of corpses in the distance, the figures of Jingzhou soldiers standing sporadically were a little thin in the wind, no matter how efficient the Tiangong Workshop was, there was no way to arm all the soldiers to the teeth, at least the attribute equipment was not qualified for all troops.
Although the weapons and armor of the Tiangongfang are also sophisticated enough, they are far from being comparable with the weapons and armor with additional attributes, the battle in front of him is obviously the victory of the Jingzhou army, but it is a tragic victory, a soldier of the Cao army who has not lost his breath suddenly got up at the moment when the Jingzhou soldiers passed by, the movement was not fast, he had suffered a fatal injury, just with the last will, stood up at the moment when the Jingzhou army passed by.
The condition of the Jingzhou army is also not good, after a tragic battle, his physical strength has been exhausted, there are many wounds on his body, at the moment when he saw the other party staggering over, the knife in his hand wiped down, and the other party was killed, but then followed, with a pain in the chest, another Cao Jun climbed behind him at some point, and pierced his vest with a broken half of the spear, and the tip of the spear came out directly from the chest.
Jingzhou Jun stared, and wanted to turn around weakly, but he couldn't, and finally after struggling a few times, his eyes gradually dimmed, and the figures of the two were so stiff in the cold wind, never moving again.
"Clean up the battlefield, bring back the living, let the military doctors treat those who can be treated, and ...... those who can't" Liu Yi looked at the battlefield in front of him, sighed and said: "Give it a good time." ”
He is no longer the fledgling stunned young man he was back then, after so many years, the kindness that should not be there is long gone, and he knows very well what the wounded soldiers on the battlefield who know that they have no hope of surviving need.
"Whoa!" Liao Hua nodded, their soldiers and horses may be the slowest way to march, in the past few days, they have seen too many fights, and fortunately, Guan Ping's soldiers and horses killed the news of Zhuyang the day before yesterday, so that the Cao army was separated from Xu Huang to intercept, otherwise, the Eighth Route Army is likely to be crushed by the Cao army in turn, after all, there are many soldiers.
As for the various breakthroughs, this kind of thing did not appear, at the beginning Pang Tong fought the idea of guerrillas, and if he could fight, he would run, and when he saw the main force of the people coming, he was stunned and rushed up, and he deserved to die.
But even so, after the war between the two sides kicked off, the scope of the war became larger and larger, and now Liu Yi can't tell which is the main battlefield and which is the secondary battlefield, from Zhuyang to Huyang and further to Pingshi, it seems that they are all fighting, and the three 10,000-strong troops of the Cao army at the beginning have now begun to split, each breaking this tactic, you have to see who you play with, play with someone who is not as good as yours, then you can show no matter how you show, but against the same weight class and even stronger than you, you deserve to die.
Now it is estimated that only Pang Tong, who is in charge, and the commander behind Cao Jun can figure out the situation, Liu Yi is now in the game, and he is also at a loss, especially after this snowstorm falls, he can't see the situation clearly at all, what he has to do now is to get as close to Xinye as possible and occupy it, occupy this point, and watch Guan Yu and them perform the rest of the things.
The entire Nanyang battlefield has now become a meat grinder, the soldiers on both sides are fighting repeatedly here, some want to touch the back to copy the other party's back road, and then be trapped, break through, support, all want to break through the other party's blockade to kill the other party's retreat, but they are forced to retreat.
On both sides combined, there are 60,000 invested in this area alone, not to mention that Guan Ping led the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong to kill from Zhuyang, and faced Xu Huang's soldiers and horses, the entire Nanyang battle situation can only be described in one word - chaos!
Up to now, Liu Yi doesn't know how Pang Tong commands and controls the overall situation, and the commander of Cao's army is also powerful, he can catch such a move, and he can be equal to this side, and he doesn't know if Cao Cao personally commands it.
Now there are definitely not 60,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, and Liu Yi really doesn't know how much, but such a fierce war is afraid that it won't last long.
"Tinghou, further ahead is Xinye!" After Liao Hua instructed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he came to Liu Yi's side and bowed.
He is a native of Nanyang, he is quite familiar with the terrain in this area, and he is a little depressed in his heart, this original two-day journey has been walked for more than ten days, and what is even more amazing is that he has never encountered a major war, Liu Yi's ability to hide and hide, that is really not to say, the distribution of scouts is half more than the usual army of this size, and the warning range has also doubled.
Along the way, he did the matter of collecting the corpse, and Liao Hua didn't know what Liu Yi thought.
"Let the soldiers slow down, the more you have to be careful at this time." Liu Yi nodded, his task was to attack Xinye, and now that the Cao army had been completely mobilized, it was obviously the best time to attack Xinye at this time.
Shouldn't it be faster?
Liao Hua looked at Liu Yi with some puzzlement.
"At this time, how can people be unguarded?" In the face of Liao Hua's doubts, Liu Yi was a little speechless, accelerating the march was not blind, but to capture the fighters, now that the entire Nanyang is like this, which city in this area will not have the slightest defense? There is a fart fighter, it would be good to attack honestly, and it can save some physical strength, he has also been to Xinye City, it is not too high, Liu Bei was reinforced when he was stationed in Xinye, but then Liu Bei took the people of Xinye to leave Xinye, there was a fire, and I don't know if Cao Cao has made any effort to build it over the years, but in general, it will not be too difficult to attack, Liu Yi is ready to make some siege equipment, and make it first, as for the ladder...... It should be done according to the height of the walls of Shinno Castle, and if it is just a short castle of about two zhang, just make some ladders with fixed chassis.
"Let's go and let people cut down some timber first, pay attention to the surroundings, and if there is any movement, come over and join the main force of our army first!" Liu Yi said to Liao Hua, he relied on fraud to attack the city, and if he attacked strongly, he never relied on how powerful the troops were, he relied on siege equipment, as for leading the troops, it depended on whether Liu Bei gave him the deputy general to give him strength.
"Whoa!" When Liao Hua heard this, he agreed, and personally led people to look for woods and cut down trees, while Liu Yi waved his troops and continued to advance.
On the other hand, in Xinye City, I heard that a large number of Jingzhou troops were coming, but the county commander and the county lieutenant were panicked, basically did not have much experience in leading troops, and the county order was above the county order, and it was difficult to imagine how the people in the city could withstand the attack of the Jingzhou army.
"Why don't you drive the people to defend the city?" The county lieutenant put forward an idea that he thought was good, anyway, this Xinye City has not been very prosperous since Liu Bei moved away a large number of people back then, although it has attracted a lot of displaced people over the years, but the puppets in the city can add up to 5,000 people, not to mention 10,000 households, 1,000 households are enough, and there are only about 100 county guards and horses, plus Cao Cao took over and sent a group of people, adding up to 500 people.
How to defend the city wall that is not enough for two feet? I can only use the people to make up the number.
"It's better to surrender." The county magistrate hesitated.
"What?" The county lieutenant stared, almost unable to believe his ears, this is not enough, why did he think about surrendering?
"It can't be defeated, in this weather, reinforcements can't come." The county order doesn't have much shame, after all, in the current situation, it's really hard to say that Cao Cao must be the final winner, and as a native of Nanyang, they don't have much of a good impression of Cao Jun.
The county lieutenant thinks about it, it's also this reason, the hundreds of brothers under his command have never even been on the battlefield, how can they fight?
"It's just that Ying Luo is afraid that he won't agree!" After hesitating for a moment, the county lieutenant said in distress.
Ying Luo is the general sent by Cao Cao to defend the city, and he has no subordinate relationship with them, and the other party obviously will not agree to this kind of thing.
"I have a plan, why don't you and I secretly open the city gate to welcome the imperial uncle?" The county magistrate looked at the county lieutenant.
"Very wonderful, I will send someone to contact the Jingzhou army tonight." The county lieutenant thought about it, agreed, and prepared to put it into action.
