Chapter 1984: Attack on Jingnan Counties (Page 1/1)
Cao Cao wanted to ascend to the throne and become king, but the officials under his rule opposed it, but Cao Cao became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and in terms of status, the prime minister was still a pivotal figure in the court.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, the generals rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army, which was the key moment for Cao's army to fight, and the generals naturally hoped to get more credit on the battlefield in Jingzhou, so as to get more status.
No matter which army they are in, if they want to be promoted, they must have greater merit, and this is especially true for ordinary generals, whose status is much more difficult to improve than the generals themselves supported by the family, which means that they need to put in greater efforts on the battlefield to achieve the same status as the family members.
Looking at the generals in the tent, Cao Cao is still quite satisfied, these generals will become the key to the army's conquest of the Quartet in the future.
"It has been some time since the prime minister led the army to Jingzhou, and Changsha County, Guiyang County and Lingling County in Jingnan County are still in the hands of the traitor Sun Quan." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he glanced at the generals in the army.
The generals in the army are more proactive in the face of war, and this army is likely to make greater progress on the battlefield in the ensuing battle.
"My lord, the last general is willing to lead a large army to break through Changsha County." Xiahoudun came out of the ranks.
In the Cao army, the generals of the Xiahou family and the generals of the Cao family occupy an important part, and they have a decisive influence in the army, not only because of Cao Cao's relationship, but also because these generals have a good performance on the battlefield, which makes Cao Cao very agreeable.
"Okay, this minister ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Changsha County, if you take Changsha County, lead the troops to attack Guiyang County." Cao Cao said.
"No." Xiahoudun hugged his fists, and had absolute confidence in leading the troops to attack Changsha County and Guiyang County.
"The last general invites the ...... of war" For a while, the generals in the account asked for battle, and when they were still thinking about this matter, Xiahoudun had already stood up, and in the matter of attacking the enemy, if he wanted to achieve military achievements, he had to have a better performance on the battlefield.
When Cao Cao saw this scene, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
In the end, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Wuling, and then attack Lingling County, after breaking through Lingling County, he joined forces with Xiahou Xuan's army, and then threatened the safety of Guiyang County, in fact, as long as the army can seize Changsha County and Lingling County from the hands of the Jiangdong Army, the things under him will be much simpler for Cao's army.
Cao Cao's influence in the four counties of Jingnan is greater than that of Sun Quan in Jingnan counties at this time, after all, Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty at this time, and he is a pivotal figure in the court, no one wants to offend Cao Cao at this time, and the family does not see much hope from the Jiangdong army.
Cao Cao is a courtier of the Han family, and he is the prime minister of the Han family, and in the face of Sun Quan, who is known as the king of Wu, his status is indeed low, but Cao Cao is confident that Sun Quan will pay a heavy price.
After agreeing on the matter of sending troops, Cao Cao began to plan the attack on Anlu City.
The next day, the officers and men of the various departments who received the order were transferred, and the departure of the 20,000-strong army would pose a great threat to the situation in Jingzhou at this time.
Cao Jun divided his troops at such a critical moment, Zhou Yu pondered a little, is to understand Cao Cao's intentions, he wants to rely on the gingerbread generals under his command, to seize the counties of Jingnan, so as to shock Jiangdong, although he is very worried about the situation of the four counties of Jingnan, at this time he has less than 50,000 troops, put in front of the traditional way of warfare, 50,000 people are used to defend the city, even if the army of 200,000 wants to break through the city, it is not to be completed casually.
However, under the leadership of Lu Bu, the situation of the war has changed a lot, and the side with the advantage in equipment can break through the city to a great extent, which has been reflected in previous wars.
In Anlu City, Cheng Pu's pressure is very great, at this time there are only 5,000 Jiangdong troops in Anlu City, the task of these 5,000 Jiangdong Army is to block Cao's army for a month, Anlu City is Jiangxia is not a strong city, when Cheng Pu received this task, there was no reason at all, as a famous veteran in the Jiangdong Army, he still has great respect for Zhou Yu, even if Zhou Yu is more shallow than his qualifications in Jiangdong, and he pays attention to the strong on the battlefield.
Cheng Pu understands the importance of Zhou Yu to Jiangdong, and in the past wars, Zhou Yu has shown extraordinary strategy, as an old courtier of Jiangdong, Cheng Pu naturally hopes that Jiangdong can become more and more powerful, rather than under the attack of the enemy, become yesterday's yellow flower.
After the army entered Anlu City, Cheng Pu did not stop reinforcing and heightening the city wall, and there were 100 thunderbolts in Anlu City, which was already a big deal in the Jiangdong Army, and 100 thunderbolts played a huge role in Cao's attack on Anlu City.
The thunderbolts of the two sides were roughly equal in range, and at this time, the main force of the Jiangdong Army was defending the city of Xiling City, the county of the hometown army, and according to the current situation, it was extremely difficult for the Cao army to break through Anlu City.
It is true that Cheng Pu also has to bear huge pressure to defend Anlu City, especially during this period of time, the number of thunderbolts of the Cao army outside the city has increased, and it is completely by relying on the thunderbolts to suppress the Jiangdong army on the battlefield.
After Cao's army suppressed Anlu's defenders, it was extremely depressing for Anlu's defenders, even though Cheng Pu's side was followed by elite Jiangdong Army soldiers, when facing the enemy's thunderbolt attack, they looked so vulnerable, and under the boulders, even the heavily armored soldiers were so vulnerable.
The moat outside the city has been filled in for the Cao army at this time, and the Jiangdong army has to face the Cao army's attack on the city wall banner, which is the most challenging time for the defenders.
At this time, half a month has passed since Cao Jun attacked Anlu City, Cheng Pu has his pride, since he promised Zhou Yu, he will do his best to defend the city.
When the Cao army attacked the city, the defenders of the city made the Cao army pay a heavy price, and the Cao army's siege of the city was indeed an opportunity for the enemy to pay a heavy price in Cheng Pu's view.
