Chapter 451: So Terrifying

Sima Yi in Xu Capital City didn't know that Liu He already had powerful skills at this time, but he deeply understood that since the last time he planned a sneak attack on Liu He's camp, Cao Cao was even more jealous of him, once Liu He's army retreated, Cao Cao would definitely abandon him, so the longer the war lasted, the more his status could rise, and once the war ended early, he would definitely be shelved.

Therefore, although Cao Cao repeatedly asked Sima Yi to plan the next attack as soon as possible, Sima Yi always shirked it on the grounds that Liu He must have been prepared.

After nearly a month like this, Xu Du's grain and grass were in a hurry, and he couldn't drag it on, so Cao Cao once again found Sima Yi and asked him to find a way to launch a sneak attack in the near future, preferably directly attacking Liu He's big tent, breaking the main force of Liu He's army in one fell swoop.

"Alas, it seems that this Cao Cao is too impatient, you don't think about it, if things were so easy, Liu He would have perished a long time ago, but now his strength is getting stronger and stronger, which proves that he is definitely not so easy to deal with, but this does not mean that there is no certain chance of winning, but there is always a certain price to pay, and now it is an opportunity to weaken Cao Cao's strength."

Sima Yi thought silently, and then said to Cao Cao: "If the lord wants to win a complete victory, this battle needs to mobilize the main force of our army to fight a decisive battle with the other party. second, the lord led a large army to attack Liu He's Chinese army tent, in the hope of being able to completely defeat Liu He; Third, the lord also needs to lead the army to chase and kill the enemy, in order to expand the results of the battle, restore the homeland, this battle, I believe that Liu He was defeated, and our army can also take the opportunity to recover the lost large piece of land, and even take the opportunity to seize Liu He's Guanzhong land, this is the foundation of our existence, once we get Guanzhong, then the Youji Qing and the states are at your fingertips. ā€

"Okay, Zhongda is really a brilliant plan." When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately amazed, and at the same time he also felt his blood boiling, because he believed that under Sima Yi's planning, he would definitely be able to defeat Liu He in this battle, recover his homeland, and then annex the world.

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered to let the 5,000 troops lead the army to feint to attack the camp of Zhoucang outside the north city gate, and let Liang Xi lead 5,000 troops to feint to attack Zhang Xiu's camp outside the south city gate, but he led the generals Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Zhu Ling and others to lead 100,000 troops to attack Liu He's Chinese army camp outside the west city gate.

The scale of this battle was so large, in fact, it was no longer a sneak attack, it was simply a dignified attack, but it was launched under the cover of night.

In fact, it would not be wrong to say that it was under the cover of night, but the time determined by Sima Yi was on the fourth watch, and the purpose was to launch an attack when Liu He was absolutely defenseless.

At the fourth watch, the west, south, and north gates of Xudu City were quietly opened, and the soldiers from all walks of life clamped their horses, and even the horses' hooves were wrapped, and they quietly went out of the Xudu City Gate and rushed towards Liu He's army.

This is the darkest time before dawn, and it is also the time when the defense is the most lax, because it will be dawn soon, and no one can imagine that someone will launch a sneak attack at this time.

Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 troops, before dawn had completed the encirclement of Liu He's Chinese army camps, and when he saw the first light of the morning light, he launched a signal to attack, only to hear the sound of military drums, shouting and killing shook the sky, and the 100,000 army surrounded Liu He's camp from three sides, and carried out a crazy attack.

"Kill!" Cao Hong's last sneak attack on Zhoucang's camp was victorious, and was unanimously praised by civil and military officials, who thought that he was the reincarnation of the military god.

However, as soon as he rushed in five or six zhang away, he suddenly felt that the horse that had sat down suddenly fell, and he hurriedly looked down, only to find that he had fallen into a horse trap, and was still falling rapidly.

"Oh no, the thieves must be on guard." Cao Hong was shocked, and poked the spear in his hand down in a panic, and after a while, he finally felt that the spear touched the ground, he quickly pierced the spear down, and then used his strength to jump up, and actually jumped out of the trap.

However, as soon as he stepped on the flat ground, he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, it was ten thousand crossbows in the middle of the camp.

At this time, Cao Hong had no weapons in his hands, and could not block the crossbow arrows, even if he really had a weapon, he could not block under this dense crossbow arrows, so he had no choice but to lie on the ground, and a lazy donkey rolled around, although he was embarrassed, he finally dodged the feather arrows that came to him, and then took the opportunity to snatch a spear from the soldiers beside him, and then stood up again, and then rode on the war horse that a cavalry gave him, and then said loudly: "Although the enemy has an ambush, but in the middle of the camp, our army now occupies an absolute advantage, as long as you rush forward, You will definitely be able to win, soldiers, kill, the prime minister has an order, the one who captures Liu He alive will be ranked as the third duke, the marquis of ten thousand households, and the one who killed Liu He will be ranked Jiuqing, and the marquis of the customs will be sealed! ā€

"Kill!" As soon as they heard that Liu He could be ranked as a minister, all the soldiers were anxious and rushed forward, because a high-ranking official like the secretary of state is not something that anyone can do, and some families have been noble for generations, but they can't do such a high-ranking official, not to mention that many of them are from poor families, and even more than ten generations have not even done a county order, and now there is an opportunity to be a minister in front of them, even if they fight for this life, it is worth it, even if it is just posthumously, It is estimated that his family will be able to shine in the township for several lifetimes.

However, these soldiers didn't know that what was waiting for them in front of them was not a chance to get the minister, but a ghost gate, and the faster they rushed, the closer they were to death.

In fact, when he learned of Sima Yi's plan, even Liu He couldn't help but marvel at Cao Cao's madness, and at the same time marveled at Sima Yi's ruthlessness and viciousness, which he actually used to weaken Cao Cao's power and strengthen his influence in the imperial court.

However, Liu He is also fully prepared for this, in the past few months of camping, Liu He has made tens of thousands of crossbows transformed by Ma Jun in the camp, each of which can shoot twenty crossbow arrows at the same time, and this is still in the absence of skill bonuses, plus Ma Jun's skill bonus, each crossbow can shoot thirty crossbow arrows, tens of thousands of crossbows continue to fire crossbow arrows, this wave is more than 300,000 crossbow arrows, Rao is scattered in all directions, and the total damage caused is also very terrifying.

Under a round of crossbow arrows, almost all the sergeants under Cao Cao's command were wounded, of which tens of thousands were directly shot and killed, and more than 10,000 were seriously injured.

Just one round of crossbow arrows caused Cao Cao's command to lose 20% of his troops, such a record has never appeared in history, and even when Cao Cao saw this scene, he could hardly sit on his horse and almost fell off his horse.

"This, this, why are there so many crossbow bolts flying all of a sudden? How many crossbows should the enemy have? Cao Cao couldn't help but marvel, the casualties in this battle were so heavy that he no longer had the confidence or courage to attack again, so he had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
