Chapter 464: All or Nothing
After listening to Cao Cao, an idea appeared in everyone's hearts. Cao Cao wanted to break through, only to take Yingzhongshui to Xiyang to Xiapi to detour to Langya, from Qingzhou back to Hebei, although this line is not in the scope of Zhangliaodi's blockade, but the distance is too far, there are too many accidents in the middle, even if there is a chance to turn the tables and reverse, Cao Cao will not consider fleeing. What's more, at this time, the number of wins and losses is still five or five.
Cao Cao sighed: "This battle can't be defeated, can't be defeated!" β
As a lord, he must think more than the military generals and the ministers under his command, and he must think in the long run. Once this battle is defeated, Cao Cao can almost withdraw from the stage of history. Lu Bu will connect the Sili Xiaowei region, Yongliang two states, and Bingzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, most of Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, a small part of Qingzhou, Yizhou, and the thirteen states of Dahan, Lu Bu has already won ten states, can he compete with a broken Hebei Jizhou and the bitter cold Youzhou? Therefore, Cao Cao was unwilling to give up easily.
"This is not only a matter of losing territory in Kanto, but also about the luck of our Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Don't bow down to the anti-ministers and thieves! β
Therefore, the civil and military officials were all frightened, and the outside of the city was besieged by Lu Bu's army on three sides, and although they entered a state of alert for the whole city, they could not be shaken off by the psychological shadow of the besieged city. In particular, Cao Ren's loss of 300,000 soldiers and horses in Hebei in the First World War shocked Cao Ying.
"Newspaper. The army of Chang'an began to prepare for the siege of the city. β
This shout is like a basin of ice water in the dog world, which is cold to the heart. Cao Cao led the generals out of the palace and went straight to the top of the city wall.
"Ho Ho Ho ......"
Outside the city, the dense Chang'an soldiers drove their horses and made a terrifying sound. A horseback pulls a carriage, and the carriage is ready to go.
"Oooo
Before the siege began, the Chang'an army shouted in unison. The sword struck the shield, and the whistling resounded through the field.
Cao Cao looked around the city: "It will take about half an hour for the other army to completely arrange the siege battle array. Immediately order the Youzhou cavalry outside the north gate to attack! β
The sound of horses' hooves sounded loudly, and tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry took the lead in attacking. The overwhelming war horses crashed like thunderbolts.
"Knock knock."
The drums of dull war beat with a hammer. The Chang'an army was connected to the big shield formation wall, and the impact of tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry was so vast, only one charge, the entire shield array was scattered. The Youzhou cavalry rushed into the battle and smashed the thunderbolt formation.
"Cover. The enemy cavalry rushed in. The Chang'an soldiers quickly launched the thunderbolt carts, and used the thunderbolts to form a defensive line, and the thunderbolt cars were overturned and destroyed by the Youzhou cavalry who charged forward. What they are afraid of is also a thunderbolt in Chang'an. In Chenliu, Cao Jun's thunderbolt and Chang'an thunderbolt bombarded each other, and the whole line basically collapsed. The Chang'an Thunderbolt had a range of 500 paces, while Cao Jun's Thunderbolt had a range of only 300 paces and was completely crushed. As for the main ammunition 'fire oil' in the thunderbolt field, Chang'an seems to be inexhaustible, more than stone bullets, and Cao Jun is far inferior in terms of ammunition.
Now, the thunderbolt in Chang'an has been completely destroyed, and the thunderbolt that poses the greatest threat to Xiangcheng has been destroyed and destroyed, how can it not be inspiring? Next is the Cao Jun thunderbolt into play.
Tian Yu led the Youzhou cavalry to rush and kill for half an hour, Chang'an tightened the battle formation, and saw that the great achievement was about to be completed, as long as the Youzhou cavalry withdrew from the battlefield and gave this surprise attack a perfect sentence, Xun Yu suddenly panicked.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, immediately hurry up and withdraw the troops!"
"Why is this the same? Lu Bu asked people not to drive, and General Tian Yu immediately broke the enemy army, why did he withdraw at this time? Cheng Yu asked.
And Cao Cao's expression was even more pale, Xun You's tactics were the first person in Cao's camp, and Xun You's panic must have a reason. Outside the city, the Chang'an army only shrank and was forced to defend, and never sent elite troops to fight against it, Cao Cao had a premonition that he would not surrender.
"Report to the general, General Lu Meng is ready."
"Report to the general, General Gao Shun is ready."
LΓΌ Bu used a thunderbolt as bait and vowed to annihilate all the cavalry of Cao's army. When Tian Yu led the cavalry Youzhou cavalry to destroy the thunderbolt group, Lu Bu also seized the time to set up an ambush. At present, unless the city gate is opened and Tianyu enters the city, there is no possibility of survival for the Youzhou cavalry. When the cavalry entered the city and dismounted to act as infantry, was there still a threat to LΓΌ Bu's siege?
Lu Bu personally waved the big sword: "Pang De led the sweaty and bloody heavy cavalry to prepare to charge the battle." Huang Zhong led the Xiliang cavalry to prepare to charge and kill, and Yan Yan led the archery cavalry battalion to shoot the enemy. Xu Shu commanded the siege vehicle to prepare to attack the city gate! β
"Ready."
It was like a shield wall and the two sides of the infantry formation were separated, revealing the heavy armor in the center and riding out with sweat and blood.
Pound led the sweat and blood to ride forward to open the way, and bravely rushed towards the other party. The sweaty and bloody cavalry started suddenly, and the speed was like a gust of wind, swept into the center of the Youzhou cavalry. Crashed through layers of Youzhou cavalry and went deep into the formation.
Huang Zhong led 50,000 Xiliang cavalry, but in terms of numbers, he completely crushed the Youzhou cavalry, and in terms of combat power, the Xiliang cavalry was far superior to the Youzhou cavalry. The huge cavalry showed his figure, and Tian Yu's face changed dramatically. The Xiliang cavalry not only has heavy armored cavalry to open the way, but also has a huge number, how can this zhang fight?
"The first team, the second team, the third team, dismount with knives, ready to chop the legs of the horses! U-turn in the back and get ready to break through! Tian Yu immediately made a decision and prepared to save the main force of the Youzhou cavalry with a broken tail.
As soon as he was fighting, he was about to turn around and run away, Tian Yu himself felt ashamed, and he couldn't be ashamed of Cao Cao. Cao Cao seemed to be affirming Tian Yudi's decision, and his voice was loud.
Under the watchful eyes of the generals on both sides, chasing and fleeing, both sides held their breath and watched the battlefield change.
Pang De suddenly turned around and provoked Huang Zhong: "Can General Huang see the enemy's main general?" Let's see who takes the flag first! β
Huang Zhongzheng was leading the Xiliang cavalry to crush the severe-tailed Youzhou cavalry, and when he heard this, he glanced at Pang De from a distance: "Although the old wounds of this general have not healed, killing a group of defeated dogs like a lost family is not martial, why don't you cut off Cao Cao's head first?" β
"Just what I want." Pound laughed arrogantly, clamped the horse's belly, and rode with sweat and blood to follow into the Youzhou cavalry.
The sweat and blood cavalry is extremely powerful, and the huge impact force is enough to knock over ordinary cavalry, and the speed is far beyond that of ordinary war horses.
The Youzhou cavalry stabbed the heavy armor of the sweat and blood riding ground, and at most the sweat and blood horse was staggered, leaving a concave and convex pit, which caused very little damage to the sweat and blood horse. The gap between the two sides was huge, and they were destined to be broken into the battle position, and the Youzhou cavalry was unilaterally slaughtered by the Xiliang cavalry who caught up from behind. Where the horses run, the sky is full of dust. After escaping for twenty miles, the Youzhou cavalry was strangled in large numbers, and where the Xiliang cavalry passed, none of the Youzhou cavalry survived.
Gradually approaching the cavalry camp in the north of the city, Tian Yu had a strong spirit: "Brothers, go back to the camp immediately, let go of the horse and run fast!" β
But at this moment, columns of infantry pulled out the reeds in the distance and rushed out. As the first general, a short knife in one hand and a large shield in the other, Tian Yu recognized this person, who was Gao Shun, the most loyal general under Lu Bu.
"Gao Shun!" Tian Yu gritted his teeth at the same time in shock, facing a small group of infantry, the cavalry would not pay attention to it at all, and waved his horse lance: "Flatten the enemy thieves!" β
"Ho ho ho ......" in the reeds, a column of infantry killed, sent into a straight line, when the Youzhou cavalry approached, a hooked spear in the reeds stabbed out, hooked the horse's legs and pulled.
Boom and a splash of water. Hundreds of horses fell into the reeds, and on the water, a trace of blood spread out of the reeds, more and more, and the entire water surface was dyed red.
Gao Shun rushed into the shallow water and slashed like Tian Yu with a knife. Tian Yu wiped a handful of water droplets on his face, deceived his head, and stabbed him backhand with half of the horse lance. The two fought hand-to-hand in the water. Tian Yu was about to stab forward, a tiger head machete slashed through his neck, Tian Yu watched his headless corpse fall into the water in the air, opened his mouth and screamed in fear, but he could only let out a hoarse scream.
Lu Meng happily caught Tian Yu's head, hung it on his waist, and didn't look at Gao Shun dumbfounded, and continued to harvest the head of the Youzhou cavalry.
Gao Shun lifted Tian Yu's headless corpse and waved it in the air: "The thief will Tian Yu is dead, surrender and don't kill!" β
"Surrender or kill!" The trapped camp shouted in unison, and the movements did not stop, quickly harvesting the heads of the Youzhou cavalry who had fallen into the water.
The main general was killed in battle, and the Youzhou cavalry was suddenly in chaos, and was attacked by Pang De, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and Lu Meng, killing these headless flies to pieces, and thirty or forty thousand enemy cavalry collapsed in an instant. Scattered in the outskirts, the crossbow battalion was like rain, wantonly harvesting and driving away the Youzhou cavalry. One shot and ten misses, the arrows did not stop, and they continued to suppress the Youzhou cavalry who wanted to escape and break through.
At the head of the city, Cao Cao followed the Youzhou cavalry from the west city to the northern city, and his eyes never left the shadow of the Youzhou cavalry. The combat strength of the Xiliang cavalry terrified him.
"Open the city gates, and the Tiger Guard Battalion will attack! Rescue the Youzhou cavalry! Cao Cao finally ordered that every Youzhou cavalry was dragged off the war horse, and Cao Cao felt heartache.
"Order the troops outside the city to assemble and attack, and attack the Chang'an army from behind, hurry up!" Xun You didn't have time to remind this large number of miscellaneous soldiers who had been forgotten by Cao Cao in a hurry, and directly ordered.
The combat power of the Chang'an army was too strong, Cao Cao felt the pressure of fear, and his thinking was highly operational: "Dig deep trenches along the streets in the city and pour river water into them!" β
There were many miscellaneous soldiers in Xiangcheng, and a big melee was carried out outside the city, but the traps were quickly dug in the city, Cao Cao was at first to prevent the melee outside the city was ineffective, and was rushed in by the Chang'an army. When he saw the rapid digging of the trap, Cao Cao began to hope that his own army outside the city would not be able to defeat the Chang'an army, so that the Chang'an army would rush into the city.
Lu Bu under the west city pulled out his sword and slowly pointed to the urn city tower, Xu Shu commanded the army to attack the urn city from all over the city tower from the urn city, and the fierce siege battle began.
Li Dian, the guard of Xicheng, also drew his sword at the same time: "Meet the enemy!" β
