Chapter 1103: The Raid Failed

And if there is a problem in Ha Dong County, then there will also be problems in Hanoi County.

Because the army of Hanoi County is now in Yin, Henan.

The point is that whether it is Hongnong County or Henan Yin's army, they are now playing against Cao Cao.

Once there is a problem with Zuo Fengyi, it may cause a chain reaction.

So the urgent report sent by Zhang Liao is indeed an urgent report!

But the problem is that Zhao Feng does not have any extra troops now, and he is sent to Zuo Fengyi to take charge.

Although Henan Yin seems to have an army of more than 100,000, Cao Cao also has an army of more than 100,000.

If there is a problem on other battlefields, Zhao Feng may still have room to turn around in the future, but if there is a problem on the battlefield of Yin in Henan, then the problem will be big!

The entire defense line will be disjointed, and if five or six counties are not abandoned, or even the entire area south of the Yellow River, it will not be able to offset the impact of the defeat brought by Henan Yin.

Zhao Feng pondered for a long time and looked at the sentry horseman: "Go back and tell Zhang Liao to continue to investigate the situation of the right Fufeng." ”

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

After waiting for the sentry to ride away, Zhao Feng began to think about who the lurking force of the right Fufeng was.

In the end, it was concluded that those who still have this ability today are either the combined forces of Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Yuan Tan, and Han Sui's old department, or the forces of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Of course, it could also be Liu Zhang, who sent someone to quietly pass by Hanzhong County and lurk in the right side of Fufeng in order to do something else.

In addition, it is also possible that Ma Chao and Bai Wen are openly fighting each other, and secretly preparing to conspire to help the wind.

In the end, Zhao Feng gave up thinking about it, because there were too many lists and there was a lack of effective intelligence, so it was impossible to know who this latent force was.

Fortunately, it will take some time for this latent force to take down the right wind.

In addition, whether or not you can seek to support the wind on the right is still a question.

Therefore, Zhao Feng temporarily gave up the situation over there, and after discussing with Lu Su and Xu Shu in the future, he may be able to analyze the most likely candidate.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the past three days, there has been no fighting in various places.

It was after nightfall.

A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi, General Taishi, let your subordinates send a battle report." ”

After speaking, he presented the battle report in his hand with both hands.

Xiong Da quickly walked to the sentry horse, took the battle report with both hands, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.

After Zhao Feng opened the battle report, he carefully read it.

To the effect that Cao Jun began to storm the New Deal again today!

Judging from the strength of the attack, Tai Shici said that the catapults of the Cao army had regained the strength of the previous days.

It's not that the city's defense is more sufficient, and it has almost been lost several times.

Although the situation of Xinzheng's losses has not yet been counted, it should be similar to the first day.

The casualty ratio of both sides should be about the same as on the second day.

After reading the battle report, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart, Xin Zheng was afraid that he would become a grinding disc to continuously consume the soldiers on both sides until one side could not afford it.

And if the 'ammunition' of Cao Jun's catapult is insufficient, then the advantage is still on his side.

It's just that it's really hard to judge whether Cao Jun really has insufficient 'ammunition' or pretends to have insufficient 'ammunition'.

Zhao Feng was helpless and looked at Xiong Da: "Go and order Wei Yan, and early tomorrow morning, send another 5,000 soldiers to reinforce Xinzheng." ”

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

After Xiong Da left, Zhao Feng looked at the sentry horseman: "Go back and tell Tai Shici that there will be 5,000 reinforcements tomorrow to reinforce you." ”

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

The next day, in the evening.

A sentry rode into the council hall and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, General Taishi, let your subordinates send a battle report!" ”

After speaking, he presented the battle report in his hand with both hands.

Xiong Da took the battle report from the sentry rider as usual, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng opened the battle report and looked at it carefully.

At the beginning of the article, it is a report on yesterday's casualties, in which the Xinzheng garrison lost more than 3,000 killed and more than 4,000 wounded.

After that, he explained the situation of today's battle.

After Cao's army stormed all morning, Tai Shici felt that the stones of the catapult were insufficient, and the intensity of the attack began to decline.

Taking advantage of the time when Cao's army took turns to eat lunch, Tai Shici asked 5,000 cavalry to raid the catapults.

Although this raid caught Cao Jun off guard, Cao Jun still had more than 80,000 troops on his side after all.

The 5,000 cavalry only destroyed a quarter of the Cao army's catapults, and only more than 1,000 cavalry returned to Xinzheng, and the other nearly 4,000 cavalry remained on the battlefield forever.

In addition, according to the report of our cavalry after the battle with the Cao cavalry, the Cao cavalry has also obtained saddles, stirrups, horse hooves and other items.

Otherwise, this raid on the catapult would not have caused such a large loss of troops, and the point is that this battle did not achieve the set goal.

In this regard, Zhao Feng also sighed in his heart.

Usually, the first raid is the most effective and the best.

With precautions in the back, it is generally difficult to achieve this effect.

Judging from the destruction of the catapult this time, even if 30,000 cavalry were buried, it would not be possible to destroy it completely.

As for Cao Jun's possession of saddles, stirrups, hooves and other things, Zhao Feng was not too surprised.

Zhao Feng made out the saddle, stirrups, horse hooves and other things, and hid them for so many years, which is already commendable.

After all, there will always be something missing in the battle, and Cao Cao will notice the abnormality sooner or later.

What's more, Zhao Yun fought with Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry on the battlefield of Youzhou, and lost more than 10,000 horsemen, and these things will spread sooner or later.

Not to mention, when Hua Xiong went deep into Chenliu County alone, pretending to raid Xudu to contain Cao Cao's army, he left the corpses of nearly 10,000 horsemen in Chenliu County.

With 10,000 sets of saddles, stirrups, horse hooves and other things, Cao Cao couldn't study it himself.

It can also be armed with 10,000 horsemen.

What's more, the creation technology of these things does not have any anti-counterfeiting encryption process, and it is naturally not difficult to imitate them.

Although Zhao Feng was not surprised by this, he still felt a pity.

In this way, his cavalry advantage will be gone, and if he wants to continue to send cavalry to go deep alone in the future, he is afraid that it will be unlikely.

The only good news was that Zhao Feng occupied Jingzhaoyin and Hongnong Counties, blocking Cao Cao's connection with Xiliang.

Cao Cao wants to buy a Xiliang war horse, but I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Even if there are relevant purchase channels, there will not be too many in terms of quantity.

As for the war horses of the Huns, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, Cao Cao didn't have to think about it, he had already been cut off from the purchase by Zhao Feng.

So relatively speaking, Zhao Feng lost cavalry, but Cao Cao couldn't afford to lose.
