The Cao generals who were still under Cao Cao's tent in front of them were all generals who were particularly loyal to Cao Cao. Not only do they worship and respect Cao Cao, but even their own fate has been tied to Cao Cao.

For example, the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, they are all tied to Cao Cao's fate, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Therefore, even if Cao Cao was in the most disadvantageous and down-lying time now, they never thought of betraying Cao Cao.

In addition, there are some generals with different surnames who followed Cao Cao early, such as Le Jin, Li Dian and so on. As well as, some military generals and ministers who were deeply valued by Cao Cao and were reused by Cao Cao. Naturally, there are also many vested interests in the DPRK and China, and they are all very loyal to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is just trying to see how many soldiers of the Cao army can still maintain a loyal attitude towards him in the current situation. If even the generals who are most closely related to themselves have betrayed themselves in the current situation, then I am afraid that this war will be over, and he may have the possibility of fighting with Liu Yi again, but the attitude of the generals in front of him makes Cao Cao feel somewhat comforted, at least, in his most difficult time now, these generals can still not abandon him. This is a rare and precious point.

Cao Cao waved his hand, let a group of generals and ministers get up, walked in front of these generals, stared at them one by one, and after a while, he said earnestly: "Everyone, most of you have followed Cao since the beginning of Cao's army. It's a pity that the situation in the world has taken a sharp turn for the worse. At this point, the situation is already extremely unfavorable for us. It can be said that our defeat is imminent, and Cao has no power to return to the sky. Faced with the siege of millions of troops of the New Han Army, I think that our army has no chance at all. Today. I have gathered you here to make a final decision with you. ”

"My lord! We have sworn to follow the prime minister, and since the time when we followed the lord, we have been mentally prepared to return the horse leather shroud. What's more, our army still has hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it is difficult to defeat the New Han army, but we can still break through the encirclement of the New Han army and send the lord to leave Chen Liucheng. Cao Ren and the others saw that Cao Cao's tone was a little depressed. couldn't help but suggest to Cao Cao.

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, now, even if I Cao Cao breaks through and leaves Chen Liu, where else can I go? Where can Cao still be accommodated? In the whole world, I am afraid that there is no place for Cao Mou, not to mention, Cao Mou has escaped from here. But what about you? Without your help, what is the point of Cao Mou living alone? That's it......" Cao Cao raised his face. His eyes seemed to be through the void, and he said calmly and firmly: "It's time to make a decision with Liu Yi." Early tomorrow morning, our army will go out of the city and have the last decisive battle with the Xinhan army. We will definitely lose, so Cao will not ask you all to fight with Cao. Even if it is Cao, he will launch a decisive charge against the New Han Army, I want Liu Yi to take a look. I, Cao Cao, am by no means the kind of person who can be bullied and greedy and afraid of death. Wait, after Cao dies on the battlefield, you can choose your own future. ”

"Lord!"

The faces of all the generals and strategists changed, and they never thought that Cao Cao would think like this.

But this is indeed Cao Cao's thoughts. He is really unwilling to live under Lewi, so it is impossible to make him surrender. However, he knew that now that Chen Liucheng had been besieged by the New Han Army, he was afraid that the siege of the New Han Army was about to start. And with the siege methods of the New Han Army that he is familiar with, he will definitely fight his own army without the strength to fight back at all, so he can only survive in Chen Liucheng and live a little longer, in the end, Chen Liucheng will eventually be broken by the New Han Army, and they will eventually become Liu Yi's prisoners.

Now that his end is doomed, Cao Cao does not want to follow his generals for many years, and he also follows himself on a road of no return. Although, Cao Cao did say that he would rather be responsible for the world than teach the world to bear me. However, at this last moment, Cao Cao had to think about his generals.

Therefore, Cao Cao felt that if he wanted to die, he could die by himself, and he didn't need these generals to accompany him and wait for death. Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, and it can even be said that he is a traitor, but he is not the kind of madman. In the face of major rights and wrongs, he still knows how to make trade-offs.

"Okay, Prime Minister Ben has made up his mind, no need to say more!"

"Lord!"

"Prime Minister......

A group of generals and ministers, all have a thousand words, but they don't know how to say it. The current situation, each of them knows in their hearts, and they all know that they are all turtles in the urn now, and all they can do is to die and struggle.

However, many of the generals and strategists among them had a firm gaze and had clearly made up their minds.

On the other side, Liu Yi's Chinese army tent also gathered civil and military ministers.

After everyone arrived, Liu Yixian said: "Gentlemen, generals, don't be too serious, we are not here to invite you and others to come and discuss how to attack Chen Liu, but to invite you and others to witness." Tomorrow, our army will be able to break through Chenliu without much effort. ”

"Of course, please allow me to bury a pass first, now, please raise your glass, let's have a drink, and celebrate in advance the great act of our unification of the Han Dynasty!"

Some of the people in the tent knew a certain situation, but most of them were confused, but they still happily toasted.

The atmosphere was very relaxed, and Liu Yi talked about some light-hearted topics with the generals one by one, which did not seem to be the tense state before the decision.

Early the next morning, the New Han Army set out.

Although Liu Yi told the generals that the final decision with Cao Cao this time did not require them to fight any siege warfare, the whole army still put on a posture of strong attack.

Around the entire Chen Liucheng, the military formation is like a forest, and the battle flag is hunting.

Chen Liucheng, a radius of more than ten miles, was surrounded by a dense array of New Han Army troops, and this sense of oppression made every Cao army soldier in Chen Liucheng feel breathless.

On the side of the New Han Army. In order to let the generals and ministers under his account see the power of the red-clothed cannon, Liu Yi did not let them return to the military horses to command the military horses, but let them follow him. Let them see with their own eyes the power of artillery, and let them witness the birth of something that is ahead of its time, and that can change the way warfare is waged in the future.

In the midst of the rumbling of war drums. Liu Yi personally led the generals and ministers, and came out of the camp from the big tent of the Chinese army, and slowly approached Chen Liucheng with a relaxed demeanor.

At this time, the generals had also noticed that a strange thing was covered with a large canvas on a cart drawn by a mule, and it was slowly moving forward with them. The generals who knew the love stared at the cart with burning eyes. I wanted to go over and lift the canvas and reveal the mysterious object.

This is the west of Chen Liucheng, and it is the main direction that Liu Yi is preparing to bombard with red-clothed cannons.

The firing range of the red-coated cannon should be about four miles at most, and this range is nearly half the distance of the bed crossbow, but if it is really fired from four miles away. It may be more difficult to hit the target, and it is even more difficult to control the accuracy than a trebuchet. And it won't be too powerful.

Its optimal range should be about two miles. In about two miles, the basic criteria and power can still be guaranteed.

However, Liu Yi let it stop outside the distance of about three miles. Because as long as it is farther away than the bed crossbow, it can hit Chen Liucheng. In this way, Cao Jun can be put more pressure.

Liu Yi asked the sergeant to prepare to place the fort, ready to lift the canvas, and introduce the red-coated cannon to the generals, Chen Liu, the city gate west of the city. But in the midst of a burst of drums and shouts, it suddenly opened, and followed, and a team of Cao soldiers rushed out from within the city gate.

"Huh?" Liu Yi and the generals of the New Han Army couldn't help but be stunned.

"Cao Cao? What is he doing here? How dare you lead an army out of the city? Could it be that he knew that he couldn't defend Chen Liu, so he led his army out of the city to fight to the death with our army? A final suicidal fight? ”

"Hehe, does Cao Cao still think that he still has the possibility of fighting us?"

"Lord, give the order, wait for the last general to lead the army to rush and kill him for a while!"

Many generals of the New Han Army hoped that Liu Yi could give an order and let them wave their troops to fight Cao Cao.

"Hehe, it is estimated that Cao Cao understands that it is impossible to defend Chen Liucheng, and now he has to go out of the city for a dying battle. However, you don't have to worry, it's better for Cao Cao to go out of the city, so that he can see the power of our new weapons more intuitively, and maybe Cao Cao can surrender directly to our New Han Dynasty......" Liu Yi looked at Cao Cao and his party who came from a distance under the banner, and smiled a little intriguingly.

Cao Cao's heart was a little moved, he didn't expect that most of the generals and soldiers under his account were determined to follow him, and would rather die in battle than follow him to fight to the death with the New Han army.

Early this morning, there were more than 300,000 elite soldiers of Cao's army, who had already assembled in the city, waiting to follow Cao Cao out of the city and launch a decisive charge against the New Han army.

Soon, Cao Cao's more than 300,000 elite soldiers had all driven out of Chen Liucheng, and directly put out a large charging array with front and back, pressing on the New Han army.

I have to say that such a situation makes people feel a tragic feeling.

The soldiers of the Cao army, their eyes were quite firm, and they looked like they were at home, and everyone hated to rush into the military formation of the New Han Army and tear the soldiers of the New Han Army apart.

When Cao Cao's military horses advanced forward and were still about a mile away from the military formation of the New Han Army, Cao's army was about to accelerate the charge.

In fact, when Cao's army advanced over, Cao Cao and his generals were a little strange, because it stands to reason that the New Han army had already arranged a formation to besiege their Chen Liucheng, and when their own army went out of the city, the New Han army should take the initiative to attack and kill them immediately, and not give them a chance to set up a good formation. Or, when approaching the military formation of the New Han Army for more than one or two miles, the bed crossbows in the New Han Army should have to fire arrows at their military formation, but why is it that they are all about a mile closer, and the New Han Army has not moved?

This is a bit weird, but Cao Cao can't care so much, today, he decided to fight in a dignified manner, even if he died in front of Liu Yi, he didn't want Liu Yi to see a surrendered Cao Cao.

But at this time, Liu Yi suddenly made a white dragon horse, and suddenly stood out in front of the military formation of the New Han Army, and shouted: "Cao Cao, Brother Meng De!" Haha, you're also out of the city to watch the ceremony? ”

"Watching the ceremony?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and swallowed back the order to order the whole army to attack the New Han army.

Liu Yi actually looked at the situation of Cao Jun, and vaguely guessed in his heart what purpose Cao Cao led his army out of the city. It is estimated that Cao Cao wanted to fight with himself in an upright battle, and he wanted to be defeated in the front and die on the way to the charge, so as to prove to himself his unyielding heart and his determination to surrender to himself even if he died. is a bit like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu back then, who would rather die than cross the Wujiang River and bow to Liu Bang. It is estimated that he also wants to leave a good name through the ages like the overlord of Chu.

Therefore, Liu Yi followed Cao Cao, who was under the handsome banner in the Cao army's array, and said loudly: "Brother Meng De, Liu understands the meaning of your current actions, but there is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not, don't sell your name as a scholar." Well, don't be angry, now, there is one thing, I want Brother Meng De to take a look at you, after reading it, if you still want to learn the heroism of the overlord and use death to achieve your eternal reputation, then brother will not stop you. When the time comes, brother will definitely fulfill your name, Brother Mengde! ”

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he rode his horse back to the formation, and with a wave of his hand, the military formation guarding the red-clothed cannon dispersed, revealing the red-clothed cannon in the military formation that was still covered with canvas.

Of course, the redcoat cannon had already been moved to the ground by the sergeant and the battery was set up.

Cao Cao and his generals and soldiers, and even many unwitting generals and soldiers in the New Han army formation, were attracted by Liu Yi's situation here.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Liu Yi waved his hand, and his own sergeant lifted the canvas, revealing a red-clothed cannon that was transparent and dark, and exuded a fierce and murderous aura in the heavy.

It looked like a heavy shelf with a round and thick iron cylinder that was narrow at the front and wide at the bottom.

"This thing is called the Red Cannon. It is a new type of offensive weapon newly developed by our New Han Dynasty. This thing can directly attack targets miles away, besiege the city, destroy the withered and decayed, and be irresistible. Liu Yi simply introduced loudly and said: "The lethality of this thing is too great, it can be called a murder weapon in the world." So, today, let's just test shoot and let Brother Meng De see how powerful this thing is! ”

Liu Yi's introduction made Cao Cao secretly frightened and full of suspicion, and he couldn't help but look at the red-clothed cannon behind Liu Yi.

At the same time, the officers and men of the two armies were attracted by Liu Yi's introduction, which made the battlefield quiet, and they all looked sideways and looked in the direction of Liu Yi. (To be continued.) )
