Chapter 735: All-out pursuit

However, the Cao soldiers on the city tower had already been scattered after ten rounds of thunderbolts and ballistas, and Xiahou Yuan hurriedly gathered archers, and there were only more than thirty.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Liao's soldiers under the city stopped again, the giant shield protected the front, and the six thousand archers behind pulled the bowstring.

In addition, there are ten arrow carts, in front of the car is a square log, on which there are exactly one hundred arrow holes, which are made by Zhang Liao using Katyusha's inspiration for Ma Jun, which is powered by a spring machine, and the winch is wound, which can send a hundred arrows at a time, and the range is not as good as that of a ballista, but the lethality of scattering is still excessive.

As the drums changed again, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison: Shoot!

Six thousand archers and ten arrow carts fired at the same time, and the dense arrow rain covered the entire Chenliu City Tower in an instant, and the arrow rain overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it!

There was no safe place on the city tower, and most of the remaining Cao soldiers fell again, often with four or five arrows in their bodies.

"Ahh Hate! Xiahou Yuan blocked four or five arrows and roared angrily.

The two armies fought, and before they could fight, most of his soldiers and horses were lost, which really made him feel aggrieved and powerless.

Xiahou Yuan is powerless, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu are even more powerless under the city, they don't have to go to the city, they also know what the situation is in the city, I'm afraid there are few soldiers to fight with.

They have always known that Zhang Liao is strong, but it was not until this moment that they deeply realized the strength of Zhang Liao's army, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, a single strong equipment and weapons have brought qualitative crushing.

What Cao Cao didn't know was that Zhang Liao's use of troops had formed a concept of people-oriented, regardless of weapon consumption. In this era, other princes often ignore the lives of pawns, but Zhang Liao is different, in his opinion, human life is more valuable than everything, the life of soldiers is more precious, he is a crack strategy, can be solved with weapons do not need human lives to fill, even if the consumption of ballistas, thunderbolts and chariots are large, but also let these equipment in front, the equipment can be rebuilt if it is gone, and the soldiers die one less one.

This is the difference in strategic thinking, of course, there is also a very important condition that Zhang Liao has strong economic strength and can continuously build those instruments. Otherwise, like Cao Cao, even if he has a strategic idea like Zhang Liao, he will not have the economic strength to support it.

War, fought is money. Now Cao Cao's understanding of this aspect may not be as profound as Zhang Liao's.

"Lord, withdraw. Zhang Liao has such an artifact, and his real life cannot be filled, and it is not a crime of war. Cheng Yu looked at the miserable situation around him and sighed.

Cao Cao closed his eyes, Zhang Liao didn't even give him a chance, or he had already given it to him, but this fiasco made it difficult for him to accept.

"Retreat! The text is ...... After the break! Cao Cao waved his hand, it is useless for Chen Liucheng to continue fighting, he does not have many soldiers and horses, if he runs out here, then there will be no chance at all.

With the defeat of Cao Cao's army, a huge pursuit battle unfolded in Yanzhou.

In the middle of the road, Zhang Liao led the overall situation, Gao Shun's trap camp took the lead in fighting against Yu Ban, from the city to the south of the city, even though the forbidden army was strict, but under Gao Shun's trap camp, it was still defeated and retreated.

As the number one general under Zhang Liao, Gao Shun lives up to his name, and after nearly ten years of training, he is like a war machine.

Trapped! Trapped!

There is no doubt that the goal of every soldier in the camp is to be trapped, that is, to die, no matter what is ahead, there is only one action, that is, to rush over with strides and stab with a spear!

They forbade the lord Gao Shun, and they were even more fanatical about the lord Zhang Liao, and they were willing to die! Zhang Liao's military dependents policy gave them no worries.

In ten years, the size of the trapped camp is only three thousand, and the further you go, the higher the requirements for Gao Shun to select soldiers. What's more, the equipment trapped in the camp is also first-class in Zhang Liao's army, almost armed from head to toe, not afraid of stray arrows, and can be used as an ordinary soldier to slash with a sword.

In this way, how can Yu Ban resist.

Cao Cao saw that Yu Ban couldn't stop it, and sent Xiahou Yuan to support, Xiahou Yuan's management of troops was not as good as Yu Ban, and they broke up faster under the blow of the trapped camp, but fortunately, the trapped camp advanced slowly, allowing them to escape.

However, Zhang Liao's pursuit of Cao Bing was not only Gao Shun's trapping camp, but also Xu Chu's personal guard battalion, Zhang Liao's Xiao cavalry battalion, and there were more than one way to attack Yanzhou, as well as Xu Huang on the left and Zhang He on the right.

On the left side, Xu Huang sat in the Chinese army, commanding the generals to attack in separate ways, methodical, Guo Jiaqi was full of plans, Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, Wen Chou fought Cao Ren, Xiahou and Li Dian, Tai Shi Ci's archery was a hundred shots, Gan Ning broke the formation and was unmatched, Wen Chou was also first-class in combat power, plus the world's top general Lu Bu was fighting on all sides, even if Cao Ren was good at fighting, Xiahou was fierce, and Li Dian was calm, but it was difficult to resist the invasion of several tigers.

Before the war, Cao Cao had expected the left army to defeat the infamous Xu Huang as quickly as possible and gallop to the aid of the Chinese army, but he did not expect that his left army was the first to retreat, and the two armies were originally attacking and defending, but Xu Huang at the most critical moment of the fierce battle, suddenly put the thunderbolt that had been hidden into the attack, which suddenly broke the morale of the Cao army, and the soldiers and horses were scattered, and it was difficult to clean up, and Cao Ren had to retreat.

In the retreat of the Cao army, the main general Cao Ren personally broke off and blocked Xu Huang's pursuit, but Xu Huang under Guo Jia's suggestion, he had already sent Gan Ning and Tai Shici to make a detour to intercept the attack, plus the guerrilla Lu Bu, directly broke the main force of the left army that was gathering the rout, and the deputy general Li Dian was stabbed to death by Lu Bu's halberd, and the deputy general Xiahoudun was cut off by Gan Ning, and was hit by Tai Shici's arrow, and was desperately snatched back by the guards.

Gan Ning, Lu Bu, Tai Shici and other generals were like a rainbow, and returned to attack Cao Ren, Cao Ren was defeated, and a big battle was held, and only more than ten personal guards escaped.

On the right side, Shi Lian, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Li Tong followed Cao Cao's orders to hold on, but they were beaten by Zhang He's flexible guerrilla tactics, plus the brave Huang Zhong and Zang Ba, Cao's army was strongly breached, Zang Ba killed Shi Lian, Huang Zhong shot Li Tong, shot Cao Chun and Cao Hong, and the army was destroyed all the way, Lianke County.

Cao Cao's three-way rout soon met together, Cao Cao waited for the whole army to fight again, Zhang Liaozhong's army rushed out of three fierce generals, led the three-way light cavalry to charge, and galloped to cut Cao Cao's army formation.

Liangzhou Ma Chao! Liangzhou Yan Yan! Liangzhou Pound!

Ma Chao's courage is not inferior to Lu Bu, Yan Yan's courage is not weak Ma Chao, and Pang De's combat power is comparable to the two.

Cao Cao sent Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Cao Ren to resist, but how could the momentum of the decline be able to stop the momentum of the rainbow, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were defeated in successive battles, suffered heavy losses, and continued to retreat.

Zhang Liao poured his forces into battle and stormed Yanzhou with overwhelming momentum, Cao Cao was defeated in three consecutive battles, Yanzhou lost most of it in a blink of an eye, and Cao Cao's family also fell into the hands of Zhang Liao, and he only retreated to the south of Yanzhou with the remnants until Jianghuai.
