Chapter 592: Destroying Cao (48)

"Tie him up!" Xiang Yu shouted at the two soldiers behind him.

"No."

The two soldiers stepped forward.

They prepared the ropes and prepared to tie Cao Zhang.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhang held back his strength, and when they approached, he pulled out his sword and killed him.

"Look for death!"

Xiang Yu was furious, raised the coiled dragon halberd, and stabbed over: "Poof..." ”

Cao Zhang was caught off guard and died on the spot!

"I wanted to spare you a dog's life, but you didn't know how to cherish it..." Xiang Yu personally cut off Cao Zhang's head, handed it to a deputy general behind him, and said, "Hold his head and surrender the enemy army." ”

"Yes."

The lieutenant general held Cao Zhang's head and ran across the battlefield with great vigour: "Cao Zhang has been killed, you don't need to resist anymore, hurry up and surrender!" He shouted it countless times.

The soldiers of the Cao Army who saw Cao Zhang's head had different thoughts and reactions.

Some are loyal to Cao Zhang and are ready to fight to the death.

Some saw that the general situation had turned, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Others simply run away...

The entire battlefield has changed dramatically because of Cao Zhang's death.

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

Night.

There are bonfires everywhere on the battlefield, illuminating the battlefield for more than ten miles.

Following Cao Zhang's death, Li Dian and Le Jin were also captured one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops.

The dead and the wounded, and the fallen were all resolved without any surprise.

Xiang Yu twisted Cao Zhang's head, put it in lime, put it in a box, and said to Jia Xu: "When the decisive battle with Cao Cao comes, I will send this box to him, and he will definitely come to me for revenge." Then he will be slaughtered again. ”

"Hahaha..."

Jia Xu opened his mouth and laughed.

"This battle is good!" Bai Qi walked over: "Annihilate Cao Zhang's 300,000 troops." It is estimated that even Cao Cao couldn't think of it, and it took us less than three days. ”

"Hmm."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "In order to prevent Cao Cao from escaping, I suggest that all the cavalry rush to Longshan first and contain Cao Cao first." Wait for our main force to rest for a while, and after arriving at Longshan, we will fight him in a decisive battle. ”

"Mr. Wenhe's advice is very good." Bai Qi also agreed.

"In that case, I'll go first?" Xiang Yu turned over and got on the horse.

"General Xiang." Jia Xu stopped Xiang Yu and advised: "Your command is full of cavalry and chariots, which is not conducive to attacking fortifications, remember not to be reckless and start a war with Cao in Longshan." Be sure to wait for us when we arrive.... ”

"I know."

Xiang Yu was too lazy to listen to Jia Xu's ramblings and drove the horse away.

The battlefield is cleaned.

Xiang Yu's tens of thousands of cavalry simply ate something, and then rushed on the road again.

The rest of the troops were camped in place to recuperate.

The process and results of this battle were written into a memorabilia and sent to Luoyang overnight.

Luoyang.

Head of the city.

Lu Bu sat on a wall pier, holding the battle report of the annihilation of Cao Zhang.

Next to them stood Xu Shu and Li Yuanba.

"As soon as I saw the look on my lord's face, I knew it was good news." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Let's see..."

Lu Bu handed the fold to Xu Shu and said, "Cao Zhang's 300,000 people have been annihilated. A large number of Cao Cao's officials and generals, as well as more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, were captured. ”

"Okay. What a big win. ”

After Xu Shu watched the recital, he was also excited.

"Wiped out Cao Zhang's troops, Cao Cao is about to go. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands can't last long. Lu Budao.

"Hmm. According to this recital, Cao Cao fled to Longshan. I want to defend against the odds. He's killing himself. Xu Shu said: "The lord has always said that Sima Yi has a strategy, judging from the strategy he dedicated to Cao Cao, hehe..." ”

"If Sima Yi didn't have a strategy, would he be able to survive until now? How could it be reused by Cao Cao? "For Sima Yi's talent, Lu Bu will not doubt it. As for this strategy dedicated to Cao Cao, may it have other purposes?

"Lord, look..." Xu Shu suddenly pointed outside the city.

Lu Bu looked up and saw thousands of trucks approaching Luoyang City quickly, and said happily: "The artillery of our Food and Science and Technology Institute has finally arrived. Hurry up and inform Han Xin and get all the preparations. Then recover all the cities east of Hangu Pass. ”

"No."

Jia Xu turned to leave.

Han Shin's 1st Army was the strongest in combat effectiveness among the 1st Army. It is also the most relied on unit of Lu Bu. Having received enough ammunition, they launched a full-scale assault east of Hangu Pass and southwest of Sili.

These cities close to Luoyang are almost all in the hands of the family.

The family has private soldiers and resists to the death.

Han Shin's 1st Army arrived in the counties and launched a strong attack.

It took almost no effort to pocket all the more than a dozen cities in the southwest of Sili. Of course, this is half a month later. Now in the northeast of Luoyang, the five or six hundred thousand troops of Bai Qi, Jia Xu, Yue Fei, Liu Bowen and others are approaching Longshan and joining Xiang Yu.

Cao Cao was besieged in Longshan and made a comprehensive defense.

The Great War is about to begin.

As the vanguard of the enemy, Qin Qiong put his troops at the forefront.

Xiang Yu's iron horse was also impatient.

The soldiers of each battalion were in place, waiting for an order.

I thought that there would be a war today, but I didn't expect Bai Qi to send someone to send an order to say a truce.

The whole army is resting and ready to stand!

The generals at all levels were puzzled, ran to Bai Qi's camp tent, and asked the reason: "General Bai Qi, this..." ”

"Generals, don't be impatient, please take a seat."

There was a huge sand table in front of Bai Qi.

Qin Qiong asked: "General Bai, the war is about to break out, and the soldiers of all battalions are also on standby on the battlefield, why do you want to go back to the camp to rest?" ”

"yes, yes..."

And all the people also turned their heads to each other.

Bai Qi pointed to the sand table and said, "You might as well stand on a high place and look down on the Cao army's defense." After today's analysis, I found that Cao Cao's arrangement in Longshan is a bit mysterious. Although our army is numerous, if we do not enter by law, it is very likely to be besieged.... ”

"Hehe..." For what Bai Qi said, the generals didn't believe it very much.

Jia Xu and Liu Bowen got up and walked to the sand table to check.

"There are indeed some doorways..." Jia Xu said.

"What does Mr. Berwyn think?" Bai Qi asked.

"Cao Cao put the mountains outside Longshan into a gossip array. The main roads into the mountains are everywhere. They also built strong camps and sent troops to garrison them. If we rush in, we are likely to be ambushed. Liu Bowen said.

Even Liu Bowen said so, and the generals didn't doubt it.

Everyone walked to the sand table and stared at the strange formation.

Bai Qi wiped a handful of cold sweat and said: "Fortunately, I kept an eye on it, and before the war, I sent someone to investigate and set up this sand table." Otherwise, as soon as the battle begins, our army's casualties will never be less. ”

"So what now?" Xiang Yu asked.

"You can't stop fighting, right?"

...........

"Can you break his gossip array according to the normal method of breaking the formation?" Jia Xu asked Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen thought for a while and vetoed: "No." The general method of breaking the formation, I am afraid that it will not be able to win. Because breaking the Bagua Array requires a certain speed to continuously destroy his array gate. Garrisoned like this, how could our army break the fortress in an instant? If you move slowly and break into the mountains, you will be besieged by enemy troops from four or five directions, and there will be ambushes... ”
