Chapter 1987: Cao Jun Breaks An Lu (Page 1/1)

The three armies are easy to get a general, although the number of sergeants and soldiers in the army will affect the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, but if there is such a famous general in the army, the role will be huge, Cao Cao did not want to recruit Cheng Pu in the past, but judging from Cheng Pu's performance, he is loyal to Jiangdong and it is difficult to rebel.

"Concentrate fifty percent of the thunderbolts in the army, attack the west of the city, and strive to defeat the Jiangdong army today and capture Anlu City." Cao Cao ordered.

Attacking from three walls, this can greatly divide the strength of the defenders, and it is also the favorite way of siege for the main general, the defenders in the city are only 5,000 people, and the besieging army occupies a huge advantage in numbers, which the Jiangdong army has to admit.

And Cao Cao's original intention was to attack Anlu City, and when Anlu City was threatened, Zhou Yu mobilized the army again, so that Cao Cao could make the Jiangdong Army suffer greater losses, but Zhou Yu was so shrewd on the battlefield, he naturally saw through Cao Cao's intentions, and it was a difficult thing to make such a general suffer on the battlefield.

However, the importance of Anlu City is undoubted, if Anlu City is lost, the Cao army can drive straight into Xiling City, Xiling is broken by the Cao army, the rest of the matter is even more complicated, Cao Jun has no doubt how strong the combat effectiveness on the battlefield is, Cao Cao has passed one battle after another, so that the princes can see the strength of the Cao army.

The war between Jiangdong and Cao's army to determine the ownership of Jingzhou will come soon, if the Jiangdong army suffers in the battle outside Xiling City, the years of effort in Jingzhou will become a passing cloud, and the result of such a defeat is not what Sun Quan wants to see.

Compared with Sun Ce, although Sun Quan lacks enterprising, it does not mean that Sun Quan will watch his interests in Jingzhou be ceded to Cao Cao, and Sun Quan will not agree.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou were obtained by the Sun family through years of hard work.

However, it is also extremely difficult to defeat the Cao army on the battlefield in Jingzhou, the combat effectiveness of the Cao army has been tested by the battlefield, and if you want to drive the Cao army out of the battlefield in Jiangxia, you need to pay some price.

At this time, Zhou Yu has an army of 45,000 in his hands, including 2,000 cavalry, which is also the most important mobile force in the army, and the commander of the cavalry is Zhou Tai is a fierce general in the Jiangdong Army.

As long as you are in the army, you will definitely have enough respect for the strong, which is the same, if you want to get a higher status in the army, you not only need family relationships, but also your own efforts.

Jiangxia's role at this time is huge, not only is it an important part of the battle between the Jiangdong army and the Cao army, but also the foundation of Jiangdong's interests in Jingzhou.

The family in Jingzhou was originally supportive of Cao Cao, if the Jiangdong army lost on the battlefield. It must have attracted more betrayal from the Jingzhou family, compared to Cao Cao, Sun Quan was already weaker, and Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty at this time, and he was also a pivotal figure in the world.

With the support of the imperial court behind him, Cao Cao can be said to occupy the absolute righteousness, although the generals in the Jiangdong army did not hesitate to give orders to the imperial court, they followed the Jiangdong Sun family, but among the literati in Jiangdong, there are different cognitions, at this time the capital of the Han Dynasty is in Xudu, and Cao Cao's means of showing are awe-inspiring, and Cao Cao has a strong army, these reasons may allow Cao Cao to assist the current saint and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty in the past.

In the cognition of more civil officials, Cao Cao is worthy of their respect, judging from the news from Xu Du, Cao Cao is very attentive to the saint, and it is not as they expected, the powerful and prominent, Cao Cao has an unattainable influence in the army, and Cao Cao can have such a performance in front of the saint, which has attracted a lot of talents for Cao Cao.

If the Han Dynasty is revitalized in Cao Cao's hands, they will become the greatest heroes of the Han Dynasty and shine in the annals of history.

Leaving a name in history is a fatal temptation for the literati, otherwise, why would Zhang Zhao persuade Cao Cao when he led the troops to attack Jingzhou, after taking refuge in Cao Cao, he became a courtier of the Han family, not a traitor in the eyes of the Han family, Sun Ce's move to claim the king in Jiangdong made the generals in the army excited, but the literati had different views on this matter.

Claiming the title of king is the greatest challenge to the Han system, since the oath of Gaozu White Horse, the appearance of a king with a different surname will cause others to attack, after hundreds of years, this system has not weakened in the hearts of the Han courtiers, but has become an iron law.

The appearance of the king with a different surname provoked the authority of the Han Dynasty, which made many literati sad because of this, no matter how weak the Han was, deep down in their hearts, they could still hope that the Han could continue to be strong.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao has a lot of confidence in attacking Jingzhou, when Cao Jun did not go to Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Jingzhou's families got in touch with him, the intention is obvious, for these families who took refuge, Cao Cao is naturally kind words and relief, which will become a big help for Cao Cao to break through Jingzhou, especially when the war is in a stalemate, the betrayal of the family will be fatal to Ji Wei for an army.

On the sixth day, Cao's army broke through the west of Anlu City, under the intensive offensive of the thunderbolts, the defenders could not lift it for a while, and in the face of the crazy Qingzhou army, it was extremely difficult for the defenders to repel it, and Cheng Pu rushed to the city wall, but still failed to change the overall situation.

So Cheng Pu ordered the army in the city to break through to Xiling, from the Cao army to the breakthrough of Anlu City, it only took 20 days before and after, this is completely a contest of the strength of the army, breaking through such a city, although it is nothing for Cao Cao, who has tens of thousands of troops, it still makes Zhou Yu frightened, when the enemy attacks the city, the Jiangdong army has the advantage of the city wall, and this advantage will make the enemy pay a heavy price, but now this situation has changed a lot.

The defeat of the Jiangdong Army in Anlu City was extremely unfavorable to the situation of the Jiangdong Army in Jingzhou at this time, and if the situation could not be changed in the next battle, it would be even more difficult to achieve victory against Cao's army.
