"If this kind of giant beast is armored and used to siege the city, I am afraid that there are few people who can resist using this giant beast to pull the cart, and it will be wasted. Net"

"You can't say that. You didn't hear Yuan Zhi say that this thing is going to be popular, and it is conceivable that the number of such giant beasts is definitely not a few. It is also impossible to say that it has long been equipped for the military. ”

"It makes sense."

"Let's go," the old man laughed, and said, "What are you doing standing here?" ”

The tough young man was in front, and a group of seven people looked left and right, and then looked, and they were at a loss again.

"Which car should I get into?"

The simple boy scratched his head.

"There's a sign! Go over and take a look. ”

Not to mention what outsiders look like when they come to Li Zheng's rule, and what kind of novelties they will encounter.

But he said sour dates.

Sujube is a city on the western border of Yanzhou East County, bordering Henan County. Once a group of heroes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, this was the focus of the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

Now the sour jujube is under the rule of Cao Cao, in order to guard against Li Zheng's army occupying the Luoyang area, 50,000 Cao troops are stationed here, which is equivalent to more than half of the total strength under Cao Cao.

In the sour jujube city, the town guards the general's mansion.

Xiahoudun, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sat opposite a very weak scholar.

"This Fengxiao military division, I'm afraid it's not appropriate at this time, right?" Xiahoudun frowned and said, "The military advisor should know that our army is not as elite as the Liangzhou army. Moreover, in this Luoyang area, more than 100,000 Liangzhou troops are stationed.

"Hehe" Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Do you think the time is not right?" ”

Xiahoudun nodded.

"That's why I'm doing this at this time." Guo Jia sighed and said, "Only by doing the opposite can you be surprised." When everybody feels like they shouldn't do it. You do that, and that's the advantage. ”

When Xiahou heard this, he couldn't help but feel that it was reasonable, and nodded again and again.

Guo Jia said again: "Although Li Chongxiao has been standing still, his majesty. is far beyond Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and it can be described as a big trouble for the lord. And at the moment, Li Chongxiao has not moved, and the princes are intriguing and cannot unite. If the princes were to be united, they had to feel a direct threat. So I discussed it with Wen Ruo and the lord, and decided to strike first. ”

"That's the truth. But the military advisor. Once the Liangzhou army is angered, I am afraid that this sour jujube will not be guaranteed, and it will even affect Puyang. Xiahoudun pondered.

"Hehe," Guo Jia smiled leisurely and said, "This is a long time ago." General Xiahou don't need to worry. General Xiahou knew that with Li Chongxiao's current forces, he did not move, which illustrated a truth, that is, Li Chongxiao's preparation was not sufficient, and he felt that it was not yet time. Once he feels that the time has come, I am afraid that we will have no chance to resist. That's why I built the lord to strike first and strive for the strategic initiative! ”

Xiahoudun bowed slightly. hugged his fists and said: "In this case, please ask the military advisor to command!" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." This cannot be done too obviously. I heard that there is a fierce general under General Xiahou, Ma Chao, who seems to have a grudge against Li Chongxiao to kill his father, so why not"

When Xiahou heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I'll go down and arrange it." ”

However, it was said that Ma Teng was beheaded by Li Zheng at the beginning, and his eldest son Ma Chao voted for Dong Zhuo. has been guarding Chen Cang under Li Dao. Later, Dong Zhuo was afraid that Ma Chao would be impulsive, which would be detrimental to the overall situation. So he sent him to Hangu Pass to serve under Xu Rong to guard against the Kwantung princes. Since Dong Zhuo surrendered. Ma Chao voted for Cao Cao again, and has been serving under Xiahoudun all along.

For Ma Chao, life is bleak.

Before he reached adulthood, Ma Teng, the pillar of the family, died in battle. While Ma Chao hated Li Zheng deeply, he was helpless. As time passed, Li Zheng became stronger and stronger, and Ma Chao's heart sank deeper and deeper, almost making him lose hope of revenge.

Ma Chao became very silent and introverted, but the hatred in his heart, as well as a kind of unprovoked jealousy, took root and grew stronger.

On this day, Ma Chao brought the soldiers and horses under his command back to life after training, and returned to the mansion.

Cao Chun is a member of the Cao Cao clan, Ma Chao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed him into the living room and served tea.

"Do you say angry people?"

Cao Chun opened his mouth to complain.

Ma Chao is unknown.

"The merchant from Liangzhou is really too deceitful, some time ago, the price of that ginseng wheat was only worth eight Liangzhou silver coins and one stone, and today it has risen to a gold coin, reason with him, he has also risen up!"

Ma Chao nodded and did not speak. For Liangzhou's Yiqiē, he has an attitude of rejection.

Cao Chun's face was hateful: "Those businessmen think that they have that Li Chongxiao as their backing, and they don't take General Ben in their eyes at all!" If it had been a merchant from somewhere else, Lao Tzu would have cut him down with a knife! It's a pity, that Li Chongxiao is so powerful, the lord doesn't dare to provoke it, alas, aggrieved! ”

Aggrieved!

was indeed aggrieved, Ma Chao was hooked out of the depression in his heart by this sentence, and when he heard Li Zheng's name, his face immediately became unsightly.

Cao Chun observed his words, nodded slightly in his heart, and said hatefully: "Meng Qi, I know that you have a grudge against Li Chongxiao, and I can't swallow this breath today." Why don't we collect some interest tonight? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, but he said: "But the lord strictly ordered that there should be no conflict with Liangzhou, if it is known by the lord and General Xiahou."

"I said you're a big man, what is your mother-in-law? To go or not to go? ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, go!

That night, Ma Chao and Cao Chun sneakily led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the sour jujube camp and headed towards the direction of Yuanwu in Henan County, which borders the sour jujube.

At this time, Xiahoudun and Guo Jia were standing on the head of the city shrouded in night, clearly watching them go away.

Guo Jia smiled: "General Xiahou, it's time to prepare!" ”

Xiahoudun nodded.

That night, Yuan Wu was attacked at night.

In the original martial city, there were not too many troops stationed, but there were only 500 soldiers in one Qu. It borders Yanzhou, and now before the war is fighting, it has become a prosperous commercial and trade area.

In order to promote commercial exchanges, so the defense of the defenders. It's a lot of slack.

In the face of the sudden night attack, the defenders were caught off guard, and were led to the south gate by the enemy army with the strategy of attacking the east and the west, while a large part of the enemy army attacked the original army from the east gate.

For a while, the entire Yuan Wu shouted and killed. Many merchants were slaughtered and suffered heavy losses.

The enemy forces who did not attack at night did not reap the benefits.

Although the enemy army numbered thousands, the defenders had only five hundred. However, after the defenders reacted, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack, and fought with the enemy for half the night, losing both sides.

There are many enemy soldiers. But that's not enough. Five hundred elite infantry soldiers were able to defeat them lightly, and the culprit who caused half of the casualties to the defenders was the enemy general!

But even so, the enemy general did not have a good time, at least after a few cuts. Injuries and bleeding are inevitable.

After driving the enemy army out of Yuanwu, it was already early in the morning.

At this time, Yuan Wu was already in a sea of fire.

The defenders did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly reported the matter to Xu Huang, who was guarding Xingyang. When Xu Huang heard this, he was furious. While reporting the information to the legion commander Meng Li, he led his 20,000 soldiers and horses straight to Yuanwu!

Adhering to Li Zheng's consistent tradition, the people of Liangzhou are not bullied. If you are bullied, you will have to pay it back tenfold and hundredfold!

Not to mention the army!

So Xu Huang didn't even think about it. directly led the troops to kill the original martial arts.

Meng Li, who got the news, also had this attitude.

Although it is said that Liangzhou's strategy this year is to focus on defense, it will definitely not fight back after being attacked! This kind of thing. It could never have happened to Li Zheng's men.

Since this has happened, no matter what, we must take revenge.

At the same time, both Xu Huang and Meng Li easily guessed the origin of this night's attack on the enemy. Who else but Yanzhou Cao Cao?

Meng Li thought about this in his mind. Although he felt a little strange, he still decided to teach Cao Cao a lesson.

Immediately summoned Xu Huang. Let him capture the sour jujube, and return blood to blood and tooth to tooth!

At noon the next day. The sun is shining.

The army under the sour jujube city is mighty, and the flag is displayed.

Xu Huangce rode forward and scolded: "You wait for the Cao army to attack my original martial arts for no reason, and Duan Duan is not a son of man!" If you are interested, you will immediately open the city and surrender, otherwise once the city is broken, no one will be left behind, from the generals to the soldiers! ”

At the head of the city, the different color in Xiahoudun's eyes flashed, and he was instantly furious, and shouted: "Wu Na enemy general, if you want to attack the city, you can do it directly, why use this as an excuse to deceive Xiao'er?!" ”

Xu Huang sneered, turned around, returned to the Chinese army's big array, and with a wave of his big hand, there were side heralds waving the order flag, and he saw that the military formation was cracked and divided into two, and a huge giant beast in the middle dragged a series of heavy siege equipment with a metallic luster, lined up in front of the formation.

At the head of the city, both the generals and the soldiers immediately opened their mouths wide and were silent in horror!

Long.

"And what kind of monster is that!?"

Some soldiers swallowed and stammered.

The huge monster was more than a foot high, three or four feet long, and it was still wrapped in iron armor all over its body, and the iron armor on its head also had sharp sharp horns, which was simply daunting!

Xiahou Xuan's face was stern, but the corners of his mouth were twitching.

Since sitting in the sour jujube and confronting Luoyang, Xiahoudun has been trying his best to explore the strength of the Liangzhou army stationed in Luoyang. Although I knew some information about this part called the Liangzhou Oriental Legion, I didn't know that there was such an army of monsters!

Even he, Xiahoudun, couldn't help but snort in his heart.

Look at the huge monster, and then look at the sour jujube city wall under your feet, no matter how you look at it, you feel that it is difficult to resist.

Fortunately, this strategy is not to stick to the sour dates, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Xiahoudun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Skipping over those huge giant beasts, Xiahoudun fell on the metal instruments behind the giant beasts again. Those instruments looked like siege equipment such as catapults, and in the sunlight, reflecting the scorching light, it gave people a murderous feeling at first glance.

Xiahoudun frowned, looked at the catapult and bed crossbow on his side of the city, and made a comparison in his heart.

"Pass my command, let the throwing cart and bed crossbow be ready, and once the enemy army enters a thousand steps, immediately launch an attack on me!"

"Whoa!"

And under the city, Xu Huang's army formation was four thousand meters away. To Xiahoudun's surprise, those giant beasts did not pull the metal siege equipment and continue to move forward, but they saw that there were Liangzhou soldiers loading stones and crossbow arrows!

"Isn't it?!"

Xiahoudun had a sudden slap in his heart. (To be continued)
