Chapter 756: The Last Battle (15)

The men and horses of the New Han army from all walks of life received an urgent report sent by Liu Yi, and learned that Cao Cao's army had been transferred to Chenliu, and had already fought a big battle with the New Han army, losing troops and being trapped in Chenliu.

In an instant, the New Han army from all walks of life was jubilant, but at the same time a little anxious, they had always thought that they would join Xu Du with the army of the New Han Army in the middle of the main prince Liu Yi, and form a joint encirclement of Cao Cao together, giving Cao Cao the final blow, and fighting a decisive battle. However, without saying a word, the army of the New Han Army in the middle of the road almost completed the feat of defeating Cao Cao and unifying the Han Dynasty.

This is the last battle of the unification of the Han Dynasty, and none of them wants to be left behind, and everyone wants to participate in witnessing this historical moment.

Therefore, they immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the breakthrough of Cao's defense line and advance towards Xudu and Chenliu.

Cao Cao's forces in the east and south of the Xudu area were extremely empty, and they could not stop the ferocious attack of the New Han army. Especially when the news of Cao Cao's defeat in Chenliu also reached their ears, they were even more wavering in their military hearts and had no intention of fighting to the death with the New Han army.

Soon, the Yingchuan and Yingyin regions were first broken by Wei Yan, Qin Jie, Chen Zhi and other new Han armies, and countless captured Cao troops were captured, so that the soldiers were directly killed in Xuducheng. At the same time, the New Han Army under Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also quickly broke through the defense line of the Cao Army that blocked them, and joined forces with Wei Yan, Qin Jie and other New Han Army under the city of Xudu.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had also joined Cao Cao's hometown of Qian County, and later Huang Zhong and Huang Xu's father and son also led their troops to join them and directly attacked Cao Cao's hometown. Under the account of several generals, the fierce generals are like clouds. There were countless troops, and they also sent troops to meet the military horses of Gan Ning's subordinates who were killed from the direction of Xuzhou and the New Han army of Gongsun Du and other troops who entered Xuzhou from Qingzhou.

In addition, Yanzhou's Tai Shi Ci, Gongsun Zhan and other new Han troops. It is also like a bamboo, advancing all the way, and where it passes, the towns in Dongjun, Jiyin, Juancheng, and Dingtao, where the Cao army's troops have been exhausted, were all broken by the New Han army, and the Cao army died and surrendered. However, in order to be able to meet Liu Yi as soon as possible, Yu Xu Du and Chen Liu. They did not immediately scatter and collect the surrounding towns of Dongjun, but directly opened a road and advanced to Xudu and Chenliu.

A few days later. The armies of all walks of life finally met Xu Du.

Cao Cao still left a lot of military horses to guard in Xudu, but he couldn't conquer it for a while.

However, in the city of Xudu, not only Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu. Even Emperor Xian was coerced by Cao Cao and brought to Chenliu. Most of the courtiers also went to Chenliu. At this time in Xuchang, in fact, only a few of Cao Cao's cronies were presiding over the affairs of Xudu. They were loyal to Cao Cao, and although they did not dare to lead their troops out of the city to fight with the New Han army, they were still able to hold on to the capital of Xu for the time being.

The various armies of the New Han Army were a bit similar to the situation when Liu Yi led the army through the Bishan area at the beginning. They were all eager to attack, eager to join up with Liu Yi's army. Therefore, the baggage troops are still behind, and in the same way, these days, they have not captured all Cao Cao's towns all the way, but directly bypassed many towns that were still in the control of Cao Cao's army and killed Xu Du. Therefore, when the baggage troops came to deliver supplies, they also had to consider whether they would be attacked by the local Cao army, so their marching speed was indeed relatively slow.

In this way, for the time being, under the city of Xudu, the siege equipment is indeed insufficient.

However, these are already secondary matters, the New Han Army has now trapped Cao Cao in Chenliu, which means that the focus has shifted to Chenliucheng, as long as Chenliucheng is conquered, Cao Cao is destroyed, and Emperor Xian is rescued, then, Xu Ducheng is not to worry.

The generals summed up and decided to leave a military horse to besiege and contain the Cao army in Xuducheng, so they led the army to Chenliu together to join Liu Yi.

The gathering of the generals has been a matter of many days.

Liu Yi fought with Cao's army that night, and at about dawn, several generals arrived with his army and trapped Cao Cao in Chenliucheng. Subsequently, the New Han Army cleaned up the battlefield and strengthened the siege of Chen Liucheng, but did not immediately launch an attack on Chen Liucheng.

Although Chen Liucheng is not as large and solid as Cao Cao's renovation of Xu Capital City in recent years, Chen Liucheng has always been an important town. It is an important town held by Cao Cao, the imperial court and the New Han Dynasty, and its strategic position is equivalent to that of the Tiger Pass of the New Han Dynasty. Therefore, its city is still high and thick, and after the defeat of the Cao army, many Cao troops still escaped into the city. So that in the current Chen Liucheng, there are hundreds of thousands of troops.

The hundreds of thousands of Cao troops almost overcrowded Chen Liucheng, but compared to their defense of the city, as long as the food and grass are endless, then the troops are not abundant. Not only in terms of defending the city, in fact, the Cao army still has the spare strength to lead the army to attack the besieging New Han army. It's just that Cao Jun was frightened by the Xinhan Army for a while, and for the time being, it is estimated that he is still resting, and he will not easily lead the army to compete with the Xinhan Army.

Now, Liu Yi only ordered his own military horses to form a siege situation against Chen Liucheng, ensuring that Cao Cao would not be allowed to lead the army to break through, and then urgently ordered the baggage troops to transport the siege equipment over, putting on a siege posture.

At this time, all the generals of the New Han Army were gearing up, waiting for Liu Yi's siege order.

In fact, none of the generals of the New Han Army knew that in Liu Yi's heart, he had never thought of letting the soldiers of the New Han Army forcibly attack the city. Liu Yi is now waiting, waiting for the New Han Army from all walks of life to gather, let his generals and soldiers, come together to witness this moment of the final unification of the Han Dynasty of the New Han Dynasty, so that all the soldiers of the New Han Dynasty come here to feel that after more than ten years of hard work, now they have finally achieved the sense of success and honor that everyone has been working hard for.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing. The most important thing is that Liu Yi wants them to witness, at this moment of unifying the Chinese Han, he will also let them witness that from now on, the Han will enter a new era of rapid development. From now on, everything in Dahan will be different from before.

The specific performance, which makes them more intuitive, is that the way of war is different. Liu Yi believed that now, he could directly defeat Cao Cao and force Cao Cao to surrender without resorting to the traditional siege method of the past. It is only necessary to launch the red-coated cannon to bombard Chen Liucheng. This kind of weapon, which is not at all imagined by these ancients in front of them, must have shocked them all.

The introduction of artillery in the true sense of the word is equivalent to the way of warfare since ancient times. From this moment on, there will be changes.

In the future, the way of life of the Han people will be completely different, but towards diversification. In particular, the advent of rubber has made many possibilities come true, as you can imagine. Once Liu Yi got out of the bicycle, at that time, the people's mode of transportation will no longer rely on animal power. It's going to be a sea change. Of course. Once some power machinery is researched and manufactured, such as the steam engine, then the entire human race will truly enter a new era of science and technology.

However, those will only be realized slowly. Liu Yi now wants his new Han army to witness the node of the change in the way of war.

In addition, by showing the existence of artillery to the New Han Army, the officers and men of the whole army no longer have to worry about the expedition that follows. Let the officers and men of the New Han Army establish a confidence and believe in their own strength. The dragon flag of the Great Han can definitely be planted in every corner of this world. In this world, there is nothing that can stop the determination of the Great Han to dominate the world.

In less than ten days, the generals of the New Han Army from all walks of life led their troops to Chenliu to join forces with Liu Yi and Zhao Yun and other military horses.

For a while, the cheers shook the sky.

This should also be the most popular time that the generals and courtiers of the New Han Army were concentrated on the battlefield since the establishment of the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army. In the past, various generals fought on various battlefields, and it was difficult for them to meet divisions to fight together. This is indeed a very memorable historical moment.

When a group of generals gathered together and met together, Liu Yi couldn't help but secretly hide aside and filmed this scene with a solar mobile phone.

Seriously, in Liu Yi's heart, there is indeed a sense of pride and achievement. Because, everything in front of him was caused by his hands and feet.

The appearance is a little obscene, the handsome and handsome Zhao Zilong, Jia Xu who looks a bit like a greeting scribe, Tai Shici who looks extremely cold and serious, Guo Jia, who is unruly, Xun Yu, a gentleman with exemplary words and deeds, Chen Qun who is upright and not harsh, Wang Yue, a slightly mysterious and extraordinary swordsman who often stands behind Liu Yi, the extremely ugly Wen Chou, the extremely evil Dian Wei, the extremely fierce Wei Yan, the red-faced Guan Yu, the black-faced Zhang Fei, the naΓ―ve Xu Chu, Yan Liang, who is somewhat similar to Guan Yu, the loyal and heroic Gongsun Zhan, Shi A, who doesn't like words, is loyal and generous Huang Zhong, Sun Ce, who is high-spirited, and Ma Chao, who is also high-spirited......

There are also Lu Zhi, Ma Teng, Yang Biao, Cai Yong, Kong Rong, etc., all of these people are because of Liu Yi's relationship, and under the fanning of Liu Yi's butterfly wings, they all got together and embarked on a completely different life trajectory from their history.

All of these made Liu Yi feel a great sense of accomplishment, and he was also very happy in his heart. All day long, there were smiling faces, so that all the women who followed Liu Yi were happy, and when they got together in the Chinese army tent in the evening, they couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Compared with the thunderous cheers of the New Han Army, although there are hundreds of thousands of Cao troops in Chen Liucheng, they are lifeless at the moment.

In the entire Chenliucheng, the army of Cao Jun plus the aborigines of Chenliucheng is estimated to have a population of 800,000 or 900,000. However, with a population of nearly a million, the silence was terrifying, like a dead city, and no one wanted to say a word or make a move.

The New Han Army drove so many military horses from the direction of Xudu, which was directly like a heavy hammer, smashing heavily on the hearts of everyone in the Cao army, making them feel painful and desperate.

Because, the New Han Army came from the direction of Xudu, which is equivalent to explaining to them that Xu Capital may have fallen, and all Cao Cao's power territory has fallen into the hands of the New Han Army, and now, I am afraid that only Chen Liucheng, where they are based, is left.

Although there were hundreds of thousands of troops, the New Han Army had more horses, and millions of New Han troops had already besieged them all around Chenliucheng. They are now truly trapped in a lonely city.

However, can you defend the lonely city? The siege methods of the New Han Army, every officer and soldier of the Cao Army is clear and knowing, they do not think that they can withstand the attack of the New Han Army.

At this time, from Cao Cao onwards, every Cao army soldier is extremely depressed in his heart, like a taut bowstring, which may break at any time.

At this time, Cao Cao really aged for more than ten years all of a sudden, hiding in the hospital bed, his eyes glazed. In his heart, he didn't believe that he had lost so quickly and so completely, but the reality made him desperate, he knew that everything was true, and he was now powerless to return to the sky, and he was already a turtle in Liu Yi's urn, it depended on when people dealt with him.

In front of Cao Cao's hospital bed, a group of generals and ministers knelt down. Everyone's heart is heavy and extremely worried.

They were worried about Cao Cao's health and their current situation.

"Ahem......" Cao Cao looked blankly at the people kneeling in front of the hospital bed for a while, and then his eyes slowly focused, he struggled to sit up, but it caused him to pant for a while, and coughed again and again.

"My lord! Please take care! ”

A group of generals hurriedly persuaded.

"Ahem...... It's okay, it's okay...... The prime minister can't die yet......" Cao Cao, with the help of his own soldiers, sat up and said to the generals in front of him: "Why are you all staying here?" What's going on now? ”

"Chen Liucheng is still there, and the Xinhan army did not attack our city, but only ......"

"Oh? If there is any situation, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. Cao Cao waved his hand.

"The New Han Army has brought a large number of military horses from the direction of Xudu, and it is estimated that the total strength of the New Han Army has reached more than two million, and now it has surrounded our Chen Liucheng, I am afraid ...... We, Chen Liucheng, are already the only city in our imperial court that is still in our hands. A veritable lonely city ......"

Cao Cao's close ministers, who had their own military information, reported the current situation to Cao Cao.

"Well, Prime Minister Ben can imagine how bad our situation is. Hehe, it's really the last moment. Cao Cao seemed to have expected it, but his eyes were flickering with cold light.

"Okay, everyone, now that it's not much point, what Cao says doesn't make much sense. I don't know what else you guys have in mind? Or...... Are you disappointed in Cao now? You follow Cao, and Cao is ineffective and incompetent, and when you fall into such a desperate situation with Cao, do you have any complaints in your hearts? Cao Cao's spirit seemed to be better, and he spoke a little more angry, and he smiled at everyone from the bottom of his heart.

"Why did the lord say this? I'd rather die and follow the lord! ”

A group of generals responded in unison. (To be continued.) )
