Chapter 112: Abandoning White Horse City
The sword is sharp, cutting gold and breaking jade, the long knife is arbitrary, slashing and killing, the bow and arrow are exquisite, and a hundred steps away, you can take people's lives...... However, in civil engineering, eighteen kinds of weapons are added together, and there is no iron pickaxe as powerful, and it has been proved that as long as the iron pickaxe is dug well, it can defeat the enemy!
Tens of thousands of Yuan troops stuck to the camp, digging trenches every day, slowly advancing, 100 steps a day, 1000 steps a day, not impatient, step by step, after more than a month, finally advanced to the White Horse City, next, they carried huge trees, carried soil, rushed to work day and night, and spent more than 20 days to build 40 or 50 barriers!
These walls are ten zhang high, twenty zhang in circumference, in a square shape, all made of loess, gravel, iron sand, glutinous rice juice...... Mixed rammed, the construction is fine, indestructible, the outside is erected wooden thorns to resist enemy attacks, and the inside is repaired with bedrooms, stoves, toilets, steps...... With all kinds of items, it's like a small castle!
In addition, on each wall, fifty soldiers were arranged, all of whom were selected from the battalions of the Yuan army...... Archers who are strong and have superior arm strength, they have two tasks, one is to eat, drink, and sleep well; The second is not to let Cao Jun eat, drink, and sleep well!
"Whoosh! …… Sou! Sou! ”
The walls of the Yuan army were high, far exceeding the White Horse City, and the archers were condescending, constantly shooting with cold arrows, and Cao Jun was unlucky, twelve hours a day, and could only hide in the bunker, if it was patrolling, eating, fetching water, and going to the toilet...... You have to carry a shield on your head, and if you're not careful, you'll become a dead soul under the arrow!
Yuan Jun archers are also very cunning, always sneak attack during meals, if you see the Cao soldiers who carry water and deliver food, they give priority to greeting a few wolf tooth arrows, for a while, the firehead soldiers suffered heavy casualties, it became the most dangerous job, the rest of the soldiers did not eat well, could not drink water, and the combat effectiveness was naturally plummeting!
In order to deal with these barriers, Cao Jun also mobilized a large number of archers, wanting to return a tooth for a tooth and an arrow for an arrow, but after a fierce confrontation, they were completely at a disadvantage, Yuan Jun was condescending, with a long range, effortless, one shot and one accurate, and the arrows were bloody; Cao Jun couldn't do it, he looked up and shot up, and it took a lot of effort and inaccuracy, he simply became someone's target, and more than 1,000 people were killed and injured in vain!
"Woo! …… Woo! Woo! ”
"Cao Ying's gutsless rats, you have the ability to come out, grandpa will shoot you all into hedgehogs!"
"The coward came out to die, hiding under the shield every day, ready to learn to live the king?"
………………………………………………
In addition to releasing cold arrows, Yuan Jun also kept beating drums and horns, shouting insults, and not letting the Cao soldiers sleep, so as to torture their willpower.
No matter how elite the soldiers, they also need to eat, drink, sleep, and add a little mental entertainment, this kind of abused and powerless days to fight back, it is really too torturous, not seven or eight days, Cao Jun is generally physically exhausted, in a trance, some weak-willed recruits, like crazy, ran out of the bunker, would rather be shot than be a turtle with a shrunken head, it is really not a human life!
In desperation, he rode a mighty white horse, held high the banner of Daxu, personally inspected the city defense, and appeased the people's hearts.
At the same time, Cao Cao convened a group of generals and strategists to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, the threat of Yuan's army barrier was too great, the archers kept harassing, and the soldiers were exhausted.
"The last general is not talented, he is willing to lead a group of men and horses to kill, break through the barriers, drive the Yuan army, and drown them all in the Yellow River!"
The general Xia Houdun stood up, holding the sword in his hand, full of murderous energy, because of one eye, he hated the enemy archers the most!
"The last general is also willing to go out of the city to fight, rather than live aggrieved, it is better to fight to the death!"
"If you don't have a chance of winning out of the city during the day, we can sneak attack at night, kill the enemy archers, and then tear down these damn barriers!"
…………………………………………
The rest of the generals and schools are also fighting one after another, they are all some battlefield generals, fighting in all directions, winning many battles, when have you suffered this kind of nest gas, it's a big deal to fight to the death, and it's better than being a turtle with a shrunken head!
"The courage of the generals is commendable, but the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the time has not yet come for a decisive battle at this time...... Let's find another solution! ”
Cao Cao was also very angry, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the city, a big battle with real swords and guns, but no, as the commander of the army, he couldn't raise troops because of a momentary anger, that would only fall into the trap of the enemy!
The people who command the army all understand a truth, if you want to attack the opponent's camp, you must have more than three times the strength of the army, and take turns to attack, so that you have a chance of winning, and the number of casualties on the attacking side is also several times that of the defending side.
The camp of the Yuan army has been built for more than a month, the trenches are all over, the antlers are dense, the walls are one after another, the defense is impermeable, and tens of thousands of horses are holding on, the grain, grass, and ordnance are extremely sufficient, and the general of the army, Jiang Qi, is also a battle-hardened person, ranking one of the 'four generals of Hebei'!
To deal with such a strong enemy camp, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops must pour out of the nest and fight hard, the victory or defeat is only between five and five, if defeated, it will inevitably be a loss of troops, a thousand miles of collapse, and the White Horse City will also fall to the enemy!
Even if it is a fluke victory, it will have to pay a great price, the Cao army's strength is already at a disadvantage, if it loses a large number of fresh troops, White Horse City will still not be able to hold, so no matter what the result is after the war, the Cao army will not escape the collapse!
The offense was defeated, the defense was also defeated, and between the dilemma of advance and retreat, Cao Cao was also worried, so he had to set his sights on Guo Jia...... A peerless ghost, a man who can create miracles!
"Da Yin Xisheng, big and clumsy, Yuan Jun is in the camp step by step, and he wins with strength, such a simple strategy, there is indeed no way to crack it, but can't we win, can't we dodge......"
In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless, and Guo Jia, who is extremely smart, is also helpless, but "The Art of War" is good, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will defend, if you can't go, since we can't win, let's go away!
However, under the close surveillance of the enemy, it is not a simple matter to evacuate more than 100,000 horses, Guo Jia smiled faintly, put it in Cao Cao's ear, and whispered......
"Feng Xiao is not a 'ghost talent', the trick is exquisite, the old man takes a step back for the time being, with the heart of the enemy, what will happen later...... Hehe! ”
After listening to the strategy, Cao Cao nodded frequently, the master played against each other, not counting one city and one place, what was lost today will be recaptured a hundred times tomorrow!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Whew! …… Call!! Call! ”
After enduring more than ten days of nesting, Cao Jun finally had to fight back, and their method was: light a bonfire on the city wall, take advantage of the strong flames, and then pounce on some wet grass......
If you set fire to the city, you will naturally not be able to burn the Yuan army on the barrier, as for the billowing smoke, at most make the other party cough a few times, and it will not be lethal, and the purpose of Cao Jun's is not to kill the enemy, but to cover the other party's vision and turn all the archers into blind!
"Damn Cao Jun, it's okay to put any smoke and choke Lao Tzu to death...... The brothers continued to shoot arrows, day and night, to kill them alive! ”
"Whoosh! …… Sou! Sou! ”
In the face of the thick smoke, Yuan Jun didn't care, on the battlefield, random arrow salvos, aiming is not important, as long as the density is enough, anyway, White Horse City is there, everyone is just with their eyes closed, and they can also encounter a few 'blind sparrows'!
Therefore, Yuan Jun was divided into three shifts, beating drums, sounding trumpets, archery, insulting, and shouting day and night...... As long as you persist, sooner or later you will torture Cao Jun to madness!
Three days later, a gust of north wind suddenly struck, blowing away the thick smoke, Yuan Jun carefully observed, found that the White Horse City had not changed, Cao Jun was still hiding in the bunker, motionless, like a wood carved clay sculpture!
Since Cao Jun is still holding on, let's continue to beat drums, sound trumpets, shoot arrows, insult, and shout...... In particular, drink more water, so that you can urinate far and more!
After another three days, Yuan Jun felt that something was wrong, even if Cao Jun was determined and would not retreat, but after all, they were human beings, and they had to eat, drink, and sleep, but after a few days of observation, the other soldiers did not move at all, let alone normal patrols and movements, not even a single 'shhhh
Under the suspicion, Yuan Jun couldn't sit still, and sent several dead soldiers, under the cover of night, to use ropes to climb the city wall, lurk into White Horse City, and check the situation of Cao Jun up close......
"Cao Jun has all fled, and no one has been left, White Horse City is ours!"
"The enemy fled, and our army won a great victory...... Tell the lord quickly, and there will be a lot of rewards! ”
………………………………………………
The dead soldiers were quickly chosen, and after drinking the Zhuangxing wine, they set off without hesitation, and then, taking advantage of the night, they successfully climbed the city wall, successfully lurked in, and successfully opened the city gate, announcing an astonishing news...... Cao Jun all fled, and the city was empty!
It turned out that in the few days covered by thick smoke, taking advantage of the blind spot on the other party's line of sight, more than 100,000 Cao troops withdrew from White Horse City, and the team was not chaotic at all, not a single war horse, a blade, or a handful of food were left.
As for the figures seen by the archers, they are just some scarecrows, wearing Cao Jun's clothes, placed in the trench to confuse their vision, the real Cao Jun brigade has successfully retreated to Guandu, in that place, they will regroup and rise again!
