Chapter 35: The Battle of the Three Peaks Mountain (2)
Recommended reading: "Roar! Roar! …… Knock knock! ”
The war drums were like thunder, the shouts shook the sky, and the dense firelight spread like stars all over the fields below the mountain, this is the Cao army is preparing to attack the mountain in a big way!
The Yuan army on the mountain naturally prepared for battle with all their might, the bow was wound, the knife was unsheathed, the rolling wood and thunder stones were piled up to the height, ready to smash down at any time, everyone opened their eyes wide, and waited in a tense atmosphere, as if the next moment the Cao army would rush up.
But why haven't they come yet? Why don't you come yet?
After a night of hard suffering, the nerves felt like they were going to be broken, up to the 'pseudo-heavenly son' Yuan Shu, down to the ordinary soldiers, all of them hung thick black circles, because the forced march and the construction of the defense line for days and days of energy and physical consumption were extremely great, and many soldiers who were tired to the limit fell down and could no longer get up!
However, the Cao army still did not attack, only countless fires flashed and flashed......
After dawn, the situation finally understood, how could there be any hostile situation, only less than a thousand cavalry with torches running wildly, screaming, lighting many bonfires, and beating a war drum from time to time, pretending that tens of thousands of troops were preparing to attack the mountains at night, as a result, more than 200,000 soldiers of the Yuan army followed and stayed up all night, while Cao Jun hid in the camp to eat and drink enough, and slept until dawn!
"Cao Mengde, you sinister villain!" found out that he was tricked, Yuan Shu angrily wanted to cut people, but he couldn't vent it, because he thought he was the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was wise and powerful, and he couldn't be deceived by others, so he could only swallow it in his stomach if he knocked out his teeth!
"Cao Jun is out of the camp!"
"Cao Jun is out!"
This time it was not a bluff, I saw the door of the Cao military camp under the mountain wide open, and a group of ironclad soldiers slowly opened out, and then gathered into a military formation like a mountain of iron, pressing forward!
10,000 people, boundless, 100,000 people, through the sky!
The 170,000 Cao army poured out, and that kind of majesty was like a torrent of steel surging over, which was moving, especially Yuan Jun was still condescending, and he could see it very clearly, and many soldiers were scared for a while!
"Drum cheers!" Finding that his subordinates were a little panicked, Yuan Shu hurriedly ordered the war drums to be beaten to boost the morale of the three armies.
"Boom! Boom! …… Knock knock! ”
Hundreds of cowhide war drums sounded at the same time, the sound shook the mountains, at the same time, the 'Sun, Moon and Tianzi Banner' behind Yuan Shu also shook desperately, seeing this, the flags in other places also swayed together, inspired by this atmosphere, the already exhausted Yuan soldiers were like a shot in the arm, and cheered up!
"Haha! Cao Mengde, if you have the guts, come to attack the mountain! Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was high again, Yuan Shu also came to the spirit, he laid a total of nine lines of defense on the mountain, deep ditches and high bases, which can be described as impregnable, if the Cao army came to attack the mountain, it would definitely be a head-to-head and bloody!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the foot of the mountain, in the big array, Cao Cao's golden helmet and golden armor, wearing a red robe, holding a sword in the sky, riding the big Wanliang horse 'Claw Huang Feidian', and standing behind him a three-zhang high apricot yellow 'Cao' character Daxu flag, surrounded by hundreds of generals and colonels, majestic, also watching the situation of Yuan Jun on the mountain!
"Haha, Sergeant Yuan is already exhausted, and he is all supported by a spirit of energy, at the end of the strong crossbow, the old man will see how long you can hold on!"
"Prime Minister, I have a plan to make Yuan Jun's morale completely dispersed, and he will no longer have the heart to fight!" Guo Jia is worthy of being a 'ghost talent', and he is quick and wise at critical moments.
"Bong-hyo, hurry up!"
"The prime minister can make the soldiers like this~~ so, ~~ and then ~~ ...... again, and finally, kill with one blow!" After whispering, Guo Jia's eyes were shining, and Cao Cao, who listened to it, was overjoyed, and hurriedly called the generals around him and asked them to act according to the plan.
"Fengxiao, it's really a good strategy, bad enough, ruthless enough, but I like it very much!" Xiao Yi came over in a military uniform and stretched out his thumb to praise.
"Haha, it's just a little trick, can this plan be exchanged for your three jars of wine?" Guo Jia licked his lips, he has nothing else to do in his life, but he has a soft spot for wine, and among Cao Jun, when it comes to collecting fine wine, no one can compare to Xiao Yi.
"Hehe, okay, I'll give you ten altars!"
"The Great Han will win!"
"The Great Han will win!"
Before the army attacked, it was customary to shout a few slogans to boost the army's prestige, but this time Cao Jun's voice was not only extremely loud, but also shouted for too long, and wave after wave, lasting for a long time!
The effect is immediate, as soon as the shouts come out, Cao Jun is naturally high morale, they are genuine Han army, they are the edict of today's son, personally commanded by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who came to fight against the traitors, the name is righteous, the teacher of justice!
Looking at Yuan Jun's side again, the morale plummeted, and the spirit that had been finally mustered up just now was dispersed, and many soldiers bowed their heads and were silent, and some even secretly wept.
The Han Dynasty has been inherited for more than 400 years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he was born a Han person, his father, grandfather, and grandfather are all Han people, which is everyone's positioning of their lives, but suddenly one day, the identity has changed, everyone is no longer a Han, but a child of the 'Zhong family' dynasty, this huge gap in the heart can be imagined~~
Usually, under the high-pressure rule of Yuan Shu, everyone can barely bear it, but today, being shouted out in front of the two armies, the hearts of many Yuan soldiers suddenly collapsed, they are traitors, they betrayed the Han Dynasty, and betrayed the ancestors and ancestors~~
Under the strong sense of guilt, the Yuan army's array was turbulent again, and no matter how the drums and flags were waved on the mountain, it would not help!
Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, Guo Jia's plan is really powerful!
"The left and right armies attack!" Cao Cao was such a figure, how could he let go of such a great opportunity, and immediately took advantage of the chaos of Yuan's army to issue an order to attack.
"Roar! Roar! …… Roar! Roar! ”
An army of about 20,000 people rushed out, shouting loudly and approaching the foot of the mountain, and the Yuan army on the first line of defense hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, ready to meet the enemy, but after the accident just now, many soldiers secretly raised the arrows by two inches, such arrows can only be thrown not far from their feet, and they can't hurt the enemy at all, and the officers and captains who supervise the formation, except for a very small number of Yuan family diehards, most of them also open their eyes and close their eyes, and they don't want to carry the reputation of 'traitors'!
Unfortunately, they didn't even get the chance to release their arrows.
When the soldiers of the Cao army rushed to about 100 paces, they suddenly split into two and ran towards both sides of the 'Tianwang Peak', and when they reached the gap between the peaks, they immediately stopped, and set up martial law on both sides, while they began to dig trenches desperately.
It is the 'digging army' of the yellow squirrels, they are originally experts in digging and burrowing, and the pickaxes, lifts, shovels, drills, ......and tools are complete, all of which are drawn by Xiao Yi according to the equipment of the sappers of later generations, and they are particularly easy to use, and soon dig deep trenches on both sides of the 'Tianwang Peak', and the soil is piled on both sides to form a barrier, which is equivalent to completely isolating the original Trinity of the Three Peaks Mountain!
"Damn! Damn it! "Yuan Shu on the mountain saw the situation clearly, Cao Jun wanted to divide and surround his army, and had the intention to send troops out to reopen the road, but looking at the demoralized subordinates, he was really not sure, now his only advantage is the geographical advantage, once he leaves these defense lines, God knows that those tired and panicked soldiers still have some combat power~~
"Forget it, let's separate it, I have an army of 250,000 people, I definitely have an advantage in terms of strength, and there is a lot of grain and grass looted from Shouchun City, which is enough for the army to eat for a month or two, even if it is hard to consume, it is also your own victory, come on, Cao Mengde, can you still conjure up heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!"
Cao Cao really can't become a heavenly soldier, so he is still at a disadvantage in terms of total strength, but it doesn't matter, 'the way of strength, division is thin, and combination is strong', and it is okay to form an overwhelming advantage locally!
The front finger of the Chinese army's Daxu banner pointed that all the 150,000 troops in this formation pressed towards the 'Tianwang Peak' where Yuan Shu was located, and as for the peaks on the left and right sides, just send a small number of cavalry to contain them!
Cavalry is not suitable for attacking mountains, but it is most suitable for guerrilla attacks everywhere to contain the enemy!
The mystery of war is actually to make reasonable use of all arms and let them exert their greatest power on the battlefield, and Cao Cao knows this very well!
"Haha! If our army attacks on all fronts, 170,000 against 250,000, and the Yuan army occupies a geographical advantage, it is natural that we will suffer, but the old man's army will only concentrate on attacking his Tianwang Peak, and the total number of Yuan troops above will not exceed 100,000, so that we will be the majority, and the enemy army is a minority, if we can't win again, then we can only blame the old man for having no way to command the army! ”
Under the banner of Xinghuang Daxu, Cao Cao held the 'Heavenly Sword' in his hand, with a proud face, first separated the Yuan army with trenches and barriers, and then broke them individually, this is the plan they discussed yesterday, and it really worked.
"Soldiers, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions, kill the enemy, a bounty of ten taels, kill the enemy, the official will be promoted to one level, there will be a person who captures and kills the traitor Yuan Shu, and he will be a marquis!"
"Kill~~"
