Chapter 1360: Capture the thief and capture the king first

I have to say that the appeal of Yamatai is very strong.

Cao Shuo's army was about to approach the capital, and the army of 60,000 was already on the road.

Seeing Izumo's army from afar, Cao Shuo restrained his horse.

The people of Izumo are not having such a good time, and although the weather is already cold, many people are still barefoot.

Most of the weapons they held were sharpened with wooden sticks, which were completely incomparable with the blades in the hands of Cao's soldiers.

Looking at the Izumo army standing in front of him, Cao Shuo said to Fu Zhu: "With an army like this, how much do Fu Gong think we can deal with?" ”

"More than 12,000 people should be able to deal with 320,000." Fu Zhu said: "At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thousands of imperial court soldiers could deal with 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves. ”

"The 100,000 yellow turban thieves, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, are different from these people." Cao Shuo said: "But when I see them, I still think that the soldiers I brought are enough to deal with it." ”

Standing at the head of the Izumo army on a white horse was a middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious costume.

The middle-aged man had a gloomy face, and on either side of him were about thirty people who were also richly dressed but of different ages.

"General Huang." Cao Shuo said to Huang Zhong: "Do you see those who are dressed differently from others? ”

"See." Huang Zhong said: "As long as the sharpshooter battalion shoots a salvo, there will be no one alive to protect them." ”

"Be careful." Cao Shuo said: "Whether you can win this battle today depends on General Huang." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, leave it to me." Huang Zhong rode out of battle, and he shouted to the soldiers of the Marksman Battalion: "The Marksman Battalion is coming forward!" ”

The soldiers of the five hundred marksmen battalion followed closely behind Huang Zhong and advanced towards the Izumo army.

Cao Shuo instructed Chen Zhi: "General Chen, lead the dragon pattern cavalry to sweep the formation, as long as the enemy army launches a charge, immediately meet the battle." ”

Chen Zhi also responded, beckoning the dragon-patterned cavalry to move forward.

When he reached the place where he was shot at the Izumo Great Array, Huang Zhong stopped.

He raised his arm. The soldiers of the 500 marksmen took off their longbows and put their arrows on the bowstrings.

Seeing Cao Jun come forward, the regent of Yamatai shouted something.

Hearing his shouting from afar, Cao Shuo smiled and said to the frustrated teacher on the side: "I don't know what bird language he shouted, anyway, I didn't understand a word." ”

Frustrated to the side, a naval soldier came running quickly.

"Childe asked him what he said?" He asked the soldier.

The soldier said, "He's asking Childe why he came to Izumo with his troops. ”

Cao Shuo felt very funny in his heart, and he also wanted to know why the Izumo people would drive their army to the Central Plains after one or two thousand years, bringing endless disasters to the Central Plains.

Of course, if he responds like this, it will be impossible for the Regent of Yamadai and all the people of Izumo to understand.

It is impossible for Cao Shuo to directly say that he came to Izumo this time to exterminate this place, and by changing history, the purgatory on earth in one or two thousand years will never happen.

"Tell him, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I've been bored lately, and I just want to see their queen being killed." Cao Shuo gave an order to the soldiers.

The soldier answered, shouting something to the regent in Izumo's dialect.

The distance was so far away that Cao Shuo couldn't see the expression on the regent's face.

Huang Zhong, who was already very close to them, could see that anger and humiliation were written on the faces of the regent and every Izumo person present.

"Tell General Huang that it's time to attack!" Cao Shuo gave Deng Zhan an order.

Deng Zhan waved his hand behind him.

The battle flags of the Cao army suddenly fluttered in the large array, and the war drums also beat up.

The sound of war drums resounded in the sky, and Huang Zhong noticed that the Izumo people in the array looked a little flustered.

Spreading his longbow and aiming at the regent, Huang Zhong shouted, "Open the bow!" ”

Five hundred soldiers of the Marksman Battalion drew their bowstrings one after another, aiming at the monarchs of various countries beside the regent.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Huang Zhong's order, five hundred arrows flew out.

The Izumo people also have bows and arrows, but their bows and arrows are very rudimentary, and the range is less than half that of Cao's bows and arrows.

It was precisely because of this that the regent and the kings of various countries dared to fight against Cao Jun at such a close distance.

The arrow flew, and the regent only felt a pain in his eyebrows, and fell off his horse.

The kings of the nations who accompanied him in the war also fell from their horses.

Both the boss and the king were shot, and the Izumo people were in chaos.

However, the battle had just begun, and with Cao Shuo's order, 12,000 Cao troops swarmed towards Izumo.

The Izumo people without the main general were in a mess, and as Cao Shuo had expected, this was a slaughter without suspense at all.

Chen Zhi led the dragon pattern to ride a horse and run around the battlefield, driving back the Izumo people who wanted to flee the battlefield like a sheep.

The naval officers who landed were brandishing their weapons and slaughtered every enemy they could see.

"After this battle, Izumo is afraid that he will no longer be able to gather forces and launch a decent attack." "Childe's intention is already halfway there. ”

"Hebei has been wilted by us, not to mention the little Izumo." Cao Shuo pursed his lips and said to Fu Zhu: "The next step is to march into their capital and take the Yamatai first." The queen refused to be seen, and I was really interested in what she looked like. ”

"Childe doesn't really want to bring the queen back to the Central Plains and let her marry?" "It's said she's in her fifties. ”

"I don't want it anyway." Cao Shuo grinned and said to Fu Zhu: "I have long said that the purpose of coming to Izumo this time is to bring her back to the Central Plains, just because she is a woman, that's all!" ”

The battle continues.

Some Izumo people were unwilling to be killed and launched a counterattack against Cao's army.

But their weapons were too rudimentary, and their training was much worse than Cao's.

The soldiers of the Cao army waved the shields and weapons in their hands, and beckoned to those Izumo people who dared to fight back.

The dragon-patterned riders led by Chen Zhi shuttled back and forth among the Izumo people.

Every time they passed, patches of Izumo people were knocked to the ground.

Due to the large number of enemies, although they were pressed all the time, the battle lasted for more than an hour.

After the battle, there were many dead Izumo people lying on the ground.

"Childe, what to do with the wounded enemy troops?" Chen Zhi came to Cao Shuo and asked him with his fists clenched.

"We don't have much food." Cao Shuo did not answer directly, but said lightly.

"I see." Chen turned his horse around and ran towards the place where the battle had taken place.

While galloping on his horse, he also shouted: "The son has an order, and he will not leave prisoners." ”

Cao Shuo's order not to leave prisoners had become a habit for Cao's soldiers.

The soldiers silently walked up to the captives and raised their weapons to the captives who were crying for mercy.
