Chapter 294: Guandu encamped
For Cao Mengde, who moved the soldiers to Guandu, he did not have any psychological pressure, because he had already understood the outcome of the matter, and he had already known that Yuan Shao would definitely die!
And the meaning of his Cao Cao's existence is just to have fun and go through the motions.
He has the gold version of the AK747 pistol in his hand, and he is not afraid of the cow ghost and snake god, and he can also kill Yuan Shao with one shot!
However, this kind of life that has been plugged in is not the life he pursues, nor is it the life he hopes to pursue!
Because, it really makes no sense at all.
In this Three Kingdoms world, he has a lot of fun!
In Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao admonished: "You can let 100,000 people guard Guandu, and the others will dig soil and pile up soil mountains in front of Cao Cao's camp, select 100 archery masters, and stand on a high place to release arrows in Cao Cao's camp.
Yuan Shao nodded, and planned from now on.
The trial led more than 1,000 people, brought shovels, and came to Cao Cao's camp to dig and build a mountain of soil, and all this could not escape from Cao Cao's eyes.
The soldiers of the Cao army saw that Yuan Shao's soldiers were picking up soil and piling up mountains of soil, although they were greatly puzzled, but they had to take care of it.
So, they sent troops to stop it.
As soon as they came, they were all released by the archers arranged by Yuan Shao, and they had to retreat.
More than 100 soldiers were shot!
Xu Zhu saw this and came to report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was also quite troubled, and ordered the selection of archers to shoot and kill the diggers, and not let them get close.
Ten days later, Yuan Shao built more than 50 earthen mountains, and the soldiers climbed high places to shoot arrows, and Cao Mengde's army was shot and killed more than 100.
The camp is full of arrows.
Cao Mengde is having a headache about this.
Cao Jun was afraid, and Cao Cao urgently summoned all the strategists to discuss.
The strategist Liu Ye said to Cao Cao: "I designed a drawing, called a catapult, and the prime minister asked him to rush to make it overnight, and build more than ten units, which should be able to turn the crisis into safety!"
After saying that, the drawing was opened on the table.
Cao Mengde looked at it, this person is very talented in painting, and his painting is very detailed, even if it is a contemporary professional painter, it cannot be compared.
However, now is not the time to appreciate paintings.
Cao Mengde ordered the soldiers to hurry up and make no mistakes.
Soon, the catapult was driven out.
Soon, it was used on the battlefield, for these, of course, it was very good, with the catapult, everything was easy to do!
This catapult, also known as the Thunderbolt, is indeed worthy of its name and has a great effect.
As soon as he came on the field, he played a huge role!
It just takes a lot of strong sergeants to pull hard to make it work.
For this, it is also a fly in the ointment.
The stone was thrown, and those Yuan troops who were shooting arrows were quickly killed!
Many of them were stoned to death by falling stones from the sky, and some of them had their heads blooming and their brains exploding.
Some were stoned to death!
Catapults played a pivotal role in this battle.
Cao Mengde was very happy, praised the catapult, and said to Liu Ye: "Thanks to Mr. Liu's advice, the catapult has a great role and deserves its name!" Otherwise, I'm afraid I will die unexpectedly, and it will be Yuan Shao's turn to be captured! ”
Liu Ye said modestly: "Prime Minister Hongfu Qitian, Jiren has his own natural appearance!"
——
Yuan Shaojunzhong, seeing that the plan was aborted, Yuan Shao was furious and said angrily: "Your good plan? I have died more than a thousand! ”
The judge said: "Who knew that Cao Cao also had capable people?"
"You fart! Are you a rice bucket? Cao Mengde's army has capable people, why use you to teach me? ”
Yuan Shao was very angry!
The judge said: "I still have a plan, called tunnel warfare, since it can't be done from the land, we can do it on the land!"
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said, "What's the plan? Get out of here. If it works, save you from the death penalty! ”
The judge said: "We can proceed from the underground, select stout men to dig tunnels, build fortifications, and enter Cao Cao's camp from underground, if this plan is successful, Cao Jun will die in his sleep!" Not only was Cao's army annihilated, but Cao Cao could also be captured alive! ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and started according to the case: "If the tunnel war is successful, if I win Cao Cao, you will be a hero."
"If I get Cao Cao, I will definitely cut Cao Mengde with a thousand knives, so that his life is worse than death, because he once rejected my kindness, which caused me to hold a grudge against him to this day."
The judge said: "As long as you get Cao Cao, you can choose between the sword mountain and the sea of fire."
Yuan Shao said: "What is the name of our excavation team, and what is the name?"
The judge smiled slightly: "Since it is an underground war, it is called an underground army, what do you think?"
Yuan Shao said: "Very good! Very good! That's the name. ”
After saying that, both of them laughed out loud.
Cao Mengde saw that the other party's Tushan really stopped, and always felt that something was wrong.
Since what is above the ground does not work, Yuan Shao is always likely to go underground.
Exploring the Malay newspaper, I heard some movement under the ground, I don't know what to do?
Cao Cao asked Liu Ye, and Liu Ye said: "It's just a tunnel war, and Yuan Shao wants to break through underground."
Cao Cao said, "How is this good?"
Liu Ye said: "Don't panic, the lord can dig trenches around the camp, causing the other party to use empty troops, and the work is in vain."
Cao Cao listened to his words and dug trenches around the camp to stop Yuan Shao!
This plan really played a great role, and the people who participated in the excavation and construction worked in vain, and the troops were wasted.
Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao fought to the death in Guandu, and the soldiers on both sides confronted each other, with victories and defeats for each other!
Yuan Shao couldn't kill Cao Cao, he was sad and sick, and his spirit was not good!
Cao Cao couldn't destroy Yuan Shao in a short time, because Yuan Shao had an army of 800,000, and it was not possible to kill them all in a short time!
So, a long-term confrontation and stalemate!
From mid-August to late September, they had victories against each other, however, for Cao Cao, his food and grass had gradually exceeded his means, and it was not enough to cope with the current situation, after all, his 70,000 soldiers needed to eat.
Horses on the battlefield also needed food.
Because of the lack of food and grass, several horses were also slaughtered and used as rations!
The soldiers brought in, because of hunger, often mutinied!
Seeing this situation, Cao Mengde wanted to withdraw and return to Xuchang, but he was very unwilling to forget it like this, so he hesitated!
He went from 70,000 to 800,000, he was at the end of his rope and in good spirits!
However, if he doesn't fight, he is unwilling!
He didn't kill these people as easily as described in the story of the Three Kingdoms, this is what he was unwilling to do!
In any case, he has to fight hard, kill 800,000 people with 70,000 people, let Yuan Shao enter the coffin, and regret being his enemy!
How easy is it to kill 800,000 people?
Even if they're all straw bales, it's not easy.
