Yuan Shao's military horses were ready to attack the Guandu defense line one after another.

When Yuan Shao led 100,000 troops to line up in front of the Guandu Pass, the Yuan army camp dozens of miles along the line, the sergeants kept going out, and they began to approach the mid-mountain defense walls on both sides of the main pass of Guandu Pass with a formation of 1,000 people and a large array of 10,000 people.

The sound of the trumpets of the two armies, the shouts of the beans, etc., almost never stopped, which was the morale of the sergeants on both sides before the big battle.

Of course, before the main closing, the meeting between the main leaders of the two armies, the confrontation between the generals of the two armies, and who wins and who loses, are also related to the morale of the two armies.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He, the two generals, were inseparable for a while, and dozens of rendezvous passed, and they didn't seem to have the meaning of victory or defeat.

Cao Cao's generals naturally also saw that Yuan Shao's military horses were spreading, and if they continued to entangle with Yuan Shao here, it would be more unfavorable to Cao's army. Because, they only came out of the Guandu Pass with tens of thousands of horses.

It is a customary practice for two armies to fight and salute first and then to fight. Of course, having said that, the current war doesn't really care too much about this. However, this so-called salute before the soldiers can actually be regarded as the last opportunity for the two armies to negotiate peace before the formal decisive battle, or it can be regarded as the best time to demonstrate to each other before the decisive battle.

At this time, one party made it clear that the carriage and horses had come to the front, and whoever did not come forward to answer the words would be regarded as cowardly by the other party and would be disgraced. This, the tree wants bark. If the leaders of the two warring sides dare not talk face to face. This is directly a show of weakness to the enemy.

In any case, even the weaker side cannot be weaker than the other party in terms of speech on the surface.

The two sides met, disagreed, and then each sent a general to fight and won one side. Naturally, he feels more face-saving, and exhaling and raising his eyebrows can greatly boost the morale of the sergeants below. So. In a general battle between two armies, it is necessary for the leaders of both sides to meet first, talk about it and fight again.

We can't talk about it. Fight again in the future. No need to have any scruples.

Therefore, now that the two armies are fighting generals, neither of them is willing to admit defeat easily.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He were fighting, Xu Huang under Cao Cao's account, he saw that Zhang Liao and Zhang He couldn't fight for a long time, his heart calmed down a little, he carefully observed the battle between the two generals, and it may be the authorities' fans. The bystander clears the question. Looking at Zhang He now, he found that Zhang He didn't seem to be strong enough to sweep everything. Even Zhang Liao and Zhang He are not defeated, so he thinks that his martial arts are not weaker than Zhang Liao, so can't he be on par with Zhang He?

Could it be that the last time I fought with Zhang He, I overestimated Zhang He because of my own problems?

As soon as Xu Huang thought of this, he felt a sense of anger in his heart that Zhang He had been deceived. At that moment, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't ask Cao Cao for instructions, so he directly slapped his horse and went out of the battle and shouted: "Wenyuan, Xu is here to help you kill Zhang He, the thief general!" ”

At this time, Xu Huang naturally no longer cares whether it is one against two, no matter what, as long as he can kill Zhang He, then it is equivalent to going to one of Yuan Shao's right-hand men. will weaken Yuan Shao's military spirit.

However, Gao Lan, another general in Yuan Shao's array, saw Xu Huang killing, and he hurriedly shot his horse to kill him, stopped Xu Huang, and fought with Xu Huang.

Well, this is the case with the battle at this time, first verbally confronted, and then the generals of each faction went out to fight alone, and when the battle was born, there was no need to pay attention to anything, and whoever wanted to fight would fight.

Just when the four of them were caught and killed, the generals of the remaining two armies couldn't bear to step forward to help in the battle, and as a result, when Cao Cao dispatched a general, Yuan Shao's army rushed out of the enemy. After a while, in front of the two armies, there were more than a dozen pairs of generals fighting each other.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, under their accounts, they are indeed fierce generals, everyone is half a catty and eight taels, each of them catches and kills, and the scene is quite spectacular.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He are fighting fiercely, and Xu Huang and Gao Ran are also rushing to kill you back and forth. Li Dian defeated Chun Yuqiong, and Le Jin defeated Han Meng......

Cao Cao was also a little enthusiastic when he saw it, and couldn't help but wave his hand, asking Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan brothers to lead an army to kill out of their own army formation and rush towards Yuan Shao's army formation.

However, Cao Cao is now, the military horses that go out of the formation are only tens of thousands of horses, and Yuan Shaojun's front formation alone has 100,000 military horses, and before Yuan Shao's army array, there are already countless archers and crossbowmen who are ready to attack. Therefore, after the Xiahou brothers led the army to rush and kill, among Yuan Shao's army, tens of thousands of bows and arrows were sprinkled on the heads of the Xiahou brothers' charging horses like artificial rain.

For a while, the Cao army, which had not yet rushed close to Yuan Shaojun's array, was shot by the rain of arrows in the sky, and countless Cao soldiers fell down when they charged, making a mess.

Seeing this, Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shaojun, who had come prepared, was not his own military horse that could be killed and scattered. Yuan Shaojun's military horses are too many, and his own men and horses are not enough.

Seeing that Xiahoudun and Xia Xiayuan led the army to charge unfavorably, Cao Cao hurriedly called out the gold and asked them to withdraw, along with the generals who fought with Yuan Shao's generals between the two armies.

Well, this is also the main reason why Cao Cao let the Xiahou brothers lead the army to attack, he now, he doesn't want to have too much entanglement with Yuan Shao in front of the pass formation, his own military horses, it is not easy to get out of the pass, but Yuan Shaojun's army is spreading, when Yuan Shaojun covers up, it is not so easy for his military horses to calmly return to the Guandu Pass.

Therefore, he first let the military horses rush towards Yuan Shaojun, who had the advantage of a large number of troops, so that the soldiers of the two armies could see that he Cao Cao was not afraid of Yuan Shao, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops, so that he would not weaken his momentum.

"Yuan Shao, Cao Mou is not playing with you, your strength is better than Cao, so you will not be in a fight to the death with you here, if you want to kill Cao, if you have the ability, you will come to attack Guandu Pass, come and attack Cao's defensive position!" Cao Cao shouted after Yuan Shao before the battle: "Cao will take your life again in the future!" Remove! ”

Cao Cao's military horse was changed from the rear to the front. U-turn and swarm into the customs.

The Cao generals who fought with Yuan Shaojun in the formation, after hearing Ming Jin, all shook their shots. Beat the horse and counterattack, press the corners of the formation respectively, and let the soldiers of his army return to the pass first.

And Yuan Shao, seeing that Cao Cao's military horses were about to retreat into the pass, immediately ordered his military horses to press up on all fronts, and officially launched a general attack on Cao Cao's Guandu Pass.

Knock knock!

Whining......

"Rush!"

"Kill! Capture Cao Cao alive. Rescue the Emperor! ”

"Kill!"

……

The horn of the charge sounded, and the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun were like a flood that burst the embankment in an instant. Discharge the army that fell into the sea and killed Cao Cao.

Not only before the closing of Guandu Pass, but even at the foot of the mountain that stretched for more than ten miles on both sides, all the Yuan Shao's army horses that participated in the attack launched a charge against Cao's defense line almost at the same time.

Yuan Shao this time. Nearly 300,000 troops were dispatched. Preparing to press on the whole line, once breaking through Guandu, he personally led more than 200,000 horses, just waiting for the Guandu defense line to be broken through a gap, he led the army to rush in, and captured Guandu Pass in one fell swoop, and captured Cao Cao alive.

The shouting and killing sound of the mountains and tsunamis makes people smell it.

Cao Cao withdrew to the pass as soon as possible. His rear military horses had been followed and killed by Yuan Shaojun. However, the bow and arrow on the wall forced Yuan Shaojun's pursuit to stop, and he was able to let his military horses pass back into the pass and close the gate.

Of course, the military horses on both sides had a certain number of casualties, but for the entire battlefield, this casualty could not even splash a single wave.

Yuan Shaojun's offensive is indeed a bit amazing, Cao Cao personally stands like a mountain on the top of the main city tower of Guandu Pass, so that the nearby soldiers can see him Cao Cao and a group of soldiers are on the front line of the battlefield, which can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, so that the soldiers can be high-spirited, and they will not retreat or be afraid.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered a number of generals who returned to Guannai to be sent to this front that stretched for more than 30 miles, so that they could sit on the defensive line, and they were only allowed to die in battle, and they were never allowed to flee in defeat.

This is a crucial battle related to whether Cao Cao can hold the battle line, and no one will be allowed to make a single mistake. Whoever dares to fight cowardly will be killed!

In addition to Cao Cao's distribution, the soldiers below are stepping up the erection of trebuchets, and the trebuchets that were only sent in the morning will be sent to this defense line that is more than 30 miles long, so no one can be idle.

Cao Cao ordered people to build not too many trebuchets, a total of only three or four hundred trebuchets, this is also the result of Cao Cao's continuous production since he could make trebuchets, if it is a temporary system, it must not be able to make so many, it must be far from enough to arrange this more than 30 miles long defense line.

At present, the defense line of more than 30 miles is estimated to be allocated only more than 100 trebuchets every ten miles. In other words, more than 10 planes can be allocated per mile, which is barely enough. In other words, more than 10 trebuchets can be erected on a 500-meter defense line, and there will be at least one trebuchet in every 50-meter defense line.

Therefore, Cao Cao's army basically used a 50-meter defensive line as the most basic defensive section, and a general was responsible for it, no matter what method they adopted, they must be sure to defend the position they defended. Whoever defends the lot is responsible.

Yuan Shaojun was naturally ready to attack Cao's defense line for a long time.

Their military horses first rushed into the large array of wooden stakes that they had laid down a few days earlier, and used the large array of wooden stakes to approach the defense line of Cao's army and enter the best attack position.

The horn of the general attack has been blown, so Yuan Jun no longer needs to advance slowly as before, and it is already less than two hundred paces away, and it can directly kill under the wall of the defensive line, and only the most rearly of them will be left to fight on the wall.

Two hundred paces away, even if you climb up to the ground, one minute is enough. So. Yuan Shaojun's soldiers, they are very confident, believing that they will definitely be able to attack and kill the Shangguan Wall.

However, just when Yuan Shaojun pressed on the whole line, the sword and shield men and archers rushed forward, preparing to use bows and arrows to suppress the Cao soldiers guarding the wall first, and then the selected soldiers who dared to die first attacked the Cao army's wall.

The loud bang suddenly came out intensively, almost when these loud sounds came out, the shouts on the entire battlefield were suppressed at once, making the battlefield seem to be quiet.

Trebuchet!

Yuan Shaojun's soldiers are no strangers to trebuchets now. Because, they also have trebuchets in their army, and. This attack on Cao Cao also brought a large number of trebuchets.

When Cao Cao Guandu was first attacked, the first line of defense of Cao's army was still at the foot of the mountain. Facing the plains. At that time, Yuan Shao ordered his army to set up trebuchets and launched a bombardment on Cao Cao's defensive line. At that time, it was under the deterrence of trebuchets that Cao Cao's army had to abandon the defense line set up at the foot of the mountain and retreat to the defense line in the middle of the mountain for defense.

The main wall of Guandu Pass was also bombarded by Yuan Shaojun's trebuchet. It's just that the Guandu Pass is very worn. It was less than a mile wide, and was built unusually solid, and their trebuchets were too poor. The attack range is not too far. Therefore, the attack on the main wall did not have much effect. Also, the trebuchet is too heavy to move. On one occasion, the general who was responsible for bombarding the main gate of Guandu with a trebuchet, because he advanced too close, was suddenly attacked by Xiahoudun with his army, so that Yuan Shaojun's military horses could not protect it. Let Cao Jun bring fire oil or something, and burn their trebuchet on fire.

So. After losing dozens of trebuchets at once, Yuan Shaojun no longer threw trebuchets into battle.

Well, for the Cao army's defense line set up in the middle of the mountain, their trebuchets are really difficult to work again. At the bottom of the mountain, the trebuchet fires a stone projectile that cannot be thrown up the mountain, and it is not advisable to carry the stone to the mountain and push it under the wall to attack the wall, because people can destroy their trebuchet by throwing heavy objects on it.

Therefore, when Yuan Shaojun later came up with the idea of using the stake array to advance under Cao Cao's defenses, the trebuchet was no longer used.

For the astonishing formation when the trebuchet fired stone projectiles, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were very clear.

So. When Cao Jun's defense line closed the wall, when the stone bullet was suddenly projected, and when he listened to the whining sound of breaking the air, Yuan Shaojun was almost all suffocated, and most of the soldiers knew at the first time that it was the formation when the trebuchet projected the stone bullet.

Boom Boom!

On a battle line more than 30 miles long, three to four hundred stone bullets were dropped into the air, and then fell sharply.

Well, to be honest, only three or four hundred trebuchets were arranged on a front more than thirty miles long, which is really not dense. When these three or four hundred stone bullets were thrown into the air, on the whole, it was sparse, and it seemed that for Yuan Shao's army, it was like shelling the sea, and the impact was not too great.

However, Sergeant Yuan Shao, who was in it, they didn't see it that way.

Because, their military horses are too dense, almost 300,000 horses, advancing on the whole line, it seems that the sergeants of Yuan Shaojun's army are densely packed, and they are really like a wave.

Well, although the sea is big, throwing a pebble may only stir up a splash, and it seems that it will not have much impact, and it will be calm immediately.

But this crowd is not really the same as a tide. The waves are water, but the crowds are people.

Therefore, when Cao Jun's trebuchet threw stone projectiles and bombarded Yuan Shao's army with a bang.

A stone bullet fell from the sky and smashed directly into the stake array, killing more than a dozen Yuan Shao's soldiers at will.

That is to say, Cao Jun is now, every round of trebuchets throws stone bullets at Yuan Shaojun under the mountain, which can directly kill and injure thousands of Yuan Shaojun's men.

Thousands of men and horses, compared to Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops, it doesn't seem to be too much, and Yuan Shao can fully bear this loss. But the question is, that is only one round of attacks, which can make him lose thousands of men and horses in vain, can Yuan Shao withstand this?

This is not counting, with the power of the trebuchet, the archers of the Cao army on the wall will also keep releasing arrows, mainly to see the wooden stakes of Yuan Shaojun's wooden stake array, if it is damaged by the stone projectiles of the trebuchet, then the archers of the Cao army will have room to play. The bow and arrow kept beckoning to Sergeant Yuan Shao, who was outcropping in the stake formation.

Yuan Shaojun was suddenly attacked by Cao Jun's trebuchet, and he killed them a little stunned at once.

You must know that every 50 meters away, there is a trebuchet, in other words, in Yuan Shao's army array, every 50 meters or so, there will be a stone bullet falling in their array.

Every stone bullet falling directly between them will bring up a canopy of blood mist, and in the screams, many Yuan Shaojun's soldiers will be smashed into a pile of flesh by the stone bullet.

Well, the large array of wooden stakes can resist the rolling stones and sandalwood rolling down from top to bottom, but it can't stop the stone bullets flying directly from the head.

Boom Boom!

The trebuchet is still constantly exerting its might, and every half an hour, Cao Cao will throw a big stone on the wall. Well, the current Cao Jun, they don't need to pay attention to the criteria of the trebuchet at all, so they don't need to deliberately throw special stone bullets that are easy to aim, even if they are ordinary stones, as long as the trebuchet can throw them, they can throw them casually.

Anyway, at this time, as long as the stones can be thrown out, there will be achievements, and the 300,000 Yuan Shaojun who rushed up to kill them are like a nest of ants, and they can be stepped on.

Originally, Yuan Shaojun, who was still as imposing as a rainbow, everyone thought that he could break through the defense line of the Cao army in one fell swoop, but at this moment, it was as if someone had poured cold water, and everyone was cold.

Their horses were so dense that they could no longer function when the stake array could no longer function. This is equivalent to them lining up to catch up and die, at this time, who wants to rush up again? Directly assault the defense line of the Cao army?

For a while, Yuan Shao, who was watching the battle from behind the army, had not been able to react, and Sergeant Yuan Shao, who had charged over, retreated like a tide. (To be continued......)
