In Cao Cao's desperate last siege battle, he piled up all the engineering equipment, including the stone thrower and the bed crossbow.

The generals under his command also bravely took the lead and climbed the ladder.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Li Dian blocked the crossbow arrows, dodged the rolling wood and stones, and all climbed to the city wall.

Zang Ba stepped forward to resist Xu Chu, Ji Ling stepped forward to resist Xu Huang, and the four of them caught and killed; Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian were surrounded by a group of Xuzhou soldiers and shot with repeater crossbows.

Because the space in the city is limited, there are not many Xuzhou soldiers who can surround the generals of the Cao army, so they can easily block all the crossbow arrows, and they can also kill and injure Xuzhou soldiers from time to time.

The situation was very critical, and more and more Cao soldiers climbed the city wall and joined the battle group, seeing that the city wall was likely to be lost.

At this time, Gongsun Kang's divine sense sensed this. After two months of studying, practicing. Gongsun Kang is now able to use thunder and lightning in the outside world with ease.

I saw that in front of Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian, a thunderball the size of a walnut suddenly appeared, stabbing and releasing lightning, which soon spread to their armor, making them squeak and jump.

The Xuzhou soldiers took the opportunity to fire crossbow arrows, and the arrows won the bid! Although all four of them were wearing heavy armor, they did not penetrate deep into the flesh. Xiahoudun was actually shot in the eye! It seems that the fate of the one-eyed general is in this world, and he still can't get rid of it.

Xu Chu and Xu Huang saw that the big thing was not good, so they hurriedly dialed the weapons on the opposite side, ran to Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian, and covered them to run down the city wall along the ladder.

Cao Hong panicked, and actually fell down in the middle of the ladder, and a Cao soldier ran over to lift him and fled, and he didn't know where he was injured.

Gongsun Kang looked at all this with his divine sense regretfully, his control over the thunder and lightning was still not strong, otherwise the four thunder balls just now could turn Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian into charcoal! And not just let them jump to their feet.

Cao Cao was helpless, it was a real helplessness and regret, so he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Take stock, in the last big battle, Cao Cao killed and wounded thousands of soldiers. Xiahoudun lost an eye, Cao Hong broke an arm, and Xiahouyuan and Li Dian's hair was scorched and turned into bare pigs. Xiahou Yuan has always been proud of his big beard, but now it is good, only a scorched chin remains.

Cao Cao rested for two days, and all the staff returned to Xudu.

He gave Taishan County to Gongsun Kang of Liaodong by default. Cao Cao really can't afford to fight anymore, and it is estimated that in a few years, he will not have the strength to take the initiative to provoke a war among the princes!

In Fenggao City, there are still more than 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers left; In the surrounding counties, Xu Rong's 10,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry still has more than 9,000 soldiers. If Gongsun Kang pursued Cao Cao, he could completely wipe out more than half of Cao Cao's men. It is even possible to leave Cao Cao's life behind.

However, he did not order the pursuit, allowing Cao Cao to evacuate safely. Because Yuan Shao still exists, Gongsun Kang needs someone to compete with Yuan Shao in the north and give himself a buffer zone.

Cao Cao's existence can also guard Chang'an and Xiliang, and suppress Qianghu in the northwest. At present, it is more beneficial for Liaodong for him to live than to die!

Now Liaodong is booming, economic strength is changing with each passing day, give Liaodong another ten years, and the princes of the world will be defeated without a fight. Hard power has gone up, and you can crush the princes by relying on the general trend!

After the Battle of Bonggao, Gongsun Kang ended his retreat and came out to convene a meeting of the generals and advisers in Bonggao.

The main theme of the meeting was to discuss how our side can defend and even win against the enemy's use of sorcery.

After two months of fighting, everyone has broken the mystery of witchcraft and no longer has fear. Just think of it as a special battle mode during a thunderstorm.

Zang Ba is the most vocal, but he can't finish the words by himself, and he must leave some room for others to speak. He figured out his thoughts, but he just made a start.

Zang Ba said: "Experiencing wind and rain for a long time can easily make soldiers sick. We should prepare plenty of ponchos, tarpaulins, coats, and hats to protect against the rain. Then there is the preparation of medicinal materials for the prevention and treatment of wind and cold, this time the military doctors are very well prepared, they have prepared a large number of banlan root, small chaihu, ginger soup, brown sugar, and diaphoretic medicine. It ensured that none of the soldiers who participated in the battle died, and they could all return to the team in good health soon after. ”

Zang Ba praised the military doctor, and the representatives of the military doctor were all smiling, how to look at Zang Ba and how it was pleasing to the eye.

Although Zhang Xun was not brave enough in battle, he still had some experience in summing up his experience. "In the wind and rain, it is also a problem for soldiers to slip their hands and not be able to hold their weapons," he said. I've seen cold gloves in Liaodong. Is it possible to develop gloves that can be worn in the wind and rain? ”

He suggested the invention of a single glove for summer use and a leather glove for water use.

Gongsun Kang was full of smiles, and he said that it could be done without a big package. He simply motioned for the confidential secretary to write down the suggestion, ready to come back and invent it himself.

He was also here, but he didn't say a word, didn't make any suggestions, just listened carefully and memorized with his heart.

Gongsun Kang had agreed to his return to Yuan Shao, Hebei. There is no way, the person who can keep him, the person who can't keep his heart. Gongsun Kang has been frustrated for a long time, and he also has feelings, he cherishes him as a talent, and he can't bear to kill him.

Today, I asked Fu Zhu to attend the meeting, just to pass on the experience of dealing with demon magic to Yuan Shao. Gongsun Kang also broke his heart for the balance of combat power between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and to contain each other.

Cheng Yu is still as ruthless as ever, he said: "The key to breaking the demon art is to eliminate the people who perform the demon magic!" For example, can the king in Cao's army send someone to assassinate him? ”

Everyone smiled bitterly, estimating that the security level of Wang Daochang should be the same as Cao Cao's. If you can assassinate Wang Daochang, you can assassinate Cao ****.

Gongsun Kang now has a certain degree of certainty, and when Wang Daochang casts his demon magic, he will let him go mad and his meridians will be confused. But there is no need to say this here, otherwise it will give the impression of frivolous and big-talking.

Xu Miao said: "If you use our army's big killing weapon face to face in the wilderness, no matter what kind of magic he is, he will be swept away!" ”

The range of the platoon ballista is 1500 meters! , enough to tear Cao Jun 500 meters away to pieces!

Xi Zhicai suddenly coughed: "Cough. . . Cough. Ahem".

Xu Miao glanced at the frustrated professor, and realized that he had lost his words, and there were still outsiders muttering here. It's a good thing he didn't name the big killer.

In the end, Gongsun Kang instructed Guo Jia to take the lead in compiling a copy: "Demon Warfare Battle Rules", ready to be issued by the whole army. It can be regarded as a successful end to the defense of Mount Tai!
