In 196 years in China, in mid-September, 100,000 Cao troops successfully retreated into Shouchun City, it is worth mentioning that when these 100,000 Cao troops passed through the camp where the Tianci army was stationed, they saw the neat and orderly, murderous Tianci army, their morale was extremely low, and even many people collapsed on the spot! The gap between the two sides is too big, not to mention anything else, the equipment on the soldiers of the Tianci Army far exceeds that of the Cao Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the saying goes, soldiers rely on armor, and horses rely on saddles!

Compared with the Tianci Army, Cao Jun's equipment is almost the difference between the clothes of the gate lord clan and ordinary people, one in the sky and one in the ground, it can't be compared at all.

In Ruyang, even if the 100,000 Cao Army fought to the death with the Tianci Army, there was at least three to four layers of hope for survival, but when it came to Shouchun, the mortality rate skyrocketed to eighty percent! You must know that the opponent of the Cao army in this battle is not an ordinary heaven-given army, but a heaven-sent army commanded by Liu Tai!!

Although there is not much difference between Commander Liu Tai and not, as long as you are not a fool, you can think that the combat power of the Tianci Army in the two situations is completely incompatible, in order to stand out among the hundreds of thousands of troops and get Liu Tai's appreciation, the Tianci soldiers will definitely do their best to fight with the Cao Army!

In the same month, Cao Ying secretly sent the family heirs of generals at all levels to other towns to avoid being affected by the war in Shouchun. Although Cao Ying still retains a certain degree of confidence at this moment, after all, this kind of thing is too invisible, and if Cao Ying is defeated, even if he does not surrender to Liu Tai, the foundation of Huainan will definitely be completely occupied by Liu Tai, if he doesn't think about the way out first, he doesn't know how to die at that time.

In fact, there is no need for Cao Ying to fight Liu Tai in Jiangbei, although the natural geographical location of Lianghuai makes Lianghuai a granary place, which is the foundation of a strong army. It's a pity that at the same time, because of geographical reasons, the Lianghuai region can not be stationed for a long time, here, there is no Yizhou steep, there is no natural barrier like the Yangtze River in Jiangdong, and there is only fertile land, in front of the powerful army, like a flower girl who has been dragged off her clothes.

In fact, with Cao Ying's power, as long as he changes places, such as Jiangdong and Yizhou, it will give Liu Tai a real headache, and in that case, Liu Tai will not agree to give Cao Ying the opportunity to concentrate his forces, you know, Cao Ying's weakest thing now is the lack of sufficient geographical advantages, as long as Cao Ying is given a real piece of territory that can be used as a false foundation, it will not be so easy for Northern Xinjiang to clean up.

And now, although Cao Ying's ninety percent of his roots are in Huainan, don't forget that among the nine counties in Jingzhou, Jiangxia County on the south bank of the Yangtze River is still in Cao Ying's hands. Although Jiangxia is small in area and has a very limited population, it is sheltered by the Yangtze River!

In order to prevent the Tianci army from going south, Cao Ying has destroyed his foundation over the years, causing most of the materials in the Lianghuai region to be transported to Jiangxia, in order to have the capital to make a comeback when the Lianghuai is seized. In fact, Jiangxia has become extremely prosperous under the rule of Cao Ying, and the population is not much different from the original Runan region, after all, this world is not only the northern Xinjiang is qualified to migrate the people, Cao Ying also has this courage.

Enough population, enough money and food, under this condition, even if Cao Ying loses the territory of Jiangbei, he will become the top three overlords among the princes, of course, this overlord is qualified in terms of troops and materials, after all, although Jiangxia is not small, the area is also very limited.

But an ambitious character like Cao Ying, as long as he has a glimmer of life, it is impossible to easily abandon ninety percent of the territory in his hands, this is not only Cao Ying, even if Liu Bei and Sun Jian will easily give up Jiangdong or Jingnan? Obviously impossible! Unless it's time to really force it!

In Huaxia 196, Liu Tai did not give Cao Jun too much time to recuperate, and if Cao Jun was allowed to recuperate in the city for a few more days, then Liu Tai would be a little stupid. To give the enemy a chance to win, that is to increase his own losses, Liu Tai is not a fool, it is impossible to give Cao Jun a chance to breathe.

More than 200,000 Tianci troops surrounded Shouchun City. At the beginning of the siege, the Tianci army naturally focused on long-range attacks on the enemy, and under the attack of new weapons and artillery in northern Xinjiang, Shouchun City, even the strongest city in Huainan County and even the entire Yangzhou, seemed to be crumbling!

And that's just the beginning!

The artillery carpet bombardment lasted for three days and three nights, and almost ninety percent of the shells were thrown into Shouchun City. After the artillery, the originally majestic Shouchun City can be said to have almost become a ruin, but fortunately, at least the city wall has not collapsed, otherwise, the Cao army will have to meet the Tianci army in close combat, and with the current morale of the Cao army, it is absolutely impossible to block the sweep of the Tianci army.

In three days, not only did the soldiers of the Tianci Army realize the horror of artillery, but the 300,000 Cao troops in Shouchun City were also full of horror about artillery, and the power of artillery in northern Xinjiang was also like wings, making everyone in the world known!

Killer feature, the real killer feature of Northern Xinjiang.

At this moment, the world finally understood why Liu Tai agreed to Cao Ying to let 100,000 Cao troops in eastern Henan enter Shouchun City, with such a killing weapon in hand, what else could be planted?

Fortunately, there are not many ordinary people in Shouchun City, on the eve of the war, Cao Ying has already obtained Liu Tai's consent to arrange the old and weak women and children in the city out of the city, if not, how can the families of those generals be sent out of the city?

Huaxia 196, early October.

Since the artillery bombardment, more than ten days have passed, and the attack of the Tianci army on Shouchun is also much more regular, under the attack of the Tianci army without fear of death, Shouchun City has lost the city head many times, fortunately, at this moment Cao Ying himself sat in Shouchun City, suppressed the sloppy military spirit, and repeatedly blocked the impact of the Tianci army.

Cao Ying's situation is very bad, although there is no shortage of grain and grass in Shouchun City, and there is no shortage of soldiers and horses, but the morale is really low to the bottom, you know, the two armies are fighting, the real important thing is morale, if you lose morale, even if there is more grain and grass and soldiers and horses? If you can hold off the enemy once, twice, three times, can you still resist it all the time?

Guarding, not a long-term plan, Cao Ying wants to win, can only surprise the initiative to attack the Tianci army, otherwise, Shouchun City will fall sooner or later, this, almost everyone knows, especially after the artillery bombardment, the balance of victory is more inclined to the Tianci army.

In order to boost morale, Cao Ying not only ordered to increase the food of the soldiers, but also personally went to the city to resist the Tianci army as much as possible, and played a leading role for the soldiers. In this case, morale has improved a little, but the situation is not optimistic.

In the same month, the Yuzhou Tianci army entered Huainan County, but because of Liu Tai's orders, Gao Shun did not act rashly, but stationed in the south of Shouchun City, in case Cao Ying took the opportunity to break through the siege south.

In 196 years of Huaxia, on October 8, Xu Chu, the general of the Tianci Army, and Xiahou Dun, the general of the Cao Army, fought 300 rounds outside Shouchun City, and at first it was difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner and loser, and finally Xu Chu narrowly won a move and severely injured Xiahoudun. The Tianci army took the opportunity to storm the Xiahoudun troops who retreated into Shouchun, causing heavy losses to the Cao army.

It is worth mentioning that although Xiahoudun was defeated, because of Xiahoudun's bravery, the morale of Cao's army rose a lot. In fact, it can also be guessed that Xu Chu's ranking among the generals in Northern Xinjiang is not low, and although the confrontation between Xiahoudun and Xu Chu was defeated, the spirit of not fearing death also made the soldiers of Cao Jun admire.

You must know that in terms of actual combat strength, Xiahoudun is definitely not Xu Chu's opponent, and the reason why he went out of the city to fight Xu Chu alone this time was also with the heart of death, in order to help his brother Cao Ying boost morale. And Xu Chu confronted Xiahoudun, with just an ordinary heart, how could he fight hard with Xiahoudun?

Huaxia 196, mid-October.

On the surface, the Cao army resisted the attack of the Tianci army, but in fact, the losses of the Cao army were extremely terrifying. In just one month, according to reliable statistics, the Cao army suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, that is, two-tenths of the troops retreated from the front line, while the Tianci army, as the besieging party, suffered extremely limited losses, and the most of them retreated from the battlefield was less than 10,000, most of which were only wounded and retired.

The war is still going on, and the last battle in the Central Plains obviously can't end in a short time, after all, Cao Ying's years of preparation, even if the Tianci army is strong, it can't be wiped out. You must know that Cao Ying is a well-deserved number one force among the princes!

In the 196th year of China, on October 18, when the world's attention was focused on Shouchun City, the war situation in Yizhou changed again. In the Battle of Sword Pavilion, because Liu Tai was happy to win the prince, the two sides temporarily dismissed the army, of course, the actual reason was that there were too many soldiers and horses in Sword Pavilion, and if the Tianci army was strong, it would lead to heavy losses, so Liu Tai would make such a decision.

After several months of cultivation, the Tianci Army once again attacked the Sword Pavilion strongly, although the current Sword Pavilion is far above the Tianci Army, but because Sun Ce is too strong, the relationship between the generals of the parties is becoming more and more inconsistent, and there are even a few differences.

The Sword Pavilion, which was already in a weak position, was able to block Huang Zhong because there were enough soldiers and horses, and now that there were disagreements, it was conceivable how bad the situation of the Sword Pavilion would be. However, the young Sun Ce is worthy of being the son of the tiger Sun Jian!

In the Sword Pavilion, although many soldiers and horses are not very harmonious, Sun Ce's leadership position is undoubted, after all, there are few generals in Shu. And Sun Ce's achievements in the Southern Barbarians have made the world have to be impressed, especially Sun Jian has blocked the Tianci Army from the Sword Pavilion many times, breaking the myth that the Tianci Army is invincible, which has pushed the reputation of the Sun family to the extreme.

With Sun Jian's fame, Sun Ce undoubtedly controlled the absolute control of the forces of several surrounding counties and counties with the Sword Pavilion as the radiation. Of course, there are also some nails that are not under Sun Ce's control, such as Gongsun Zhan's Yunnan soldiers, and some core generals of Liu Xuande.

In fact, today's Yizhou should not be regarded as the battlefield of Liu Tai and Liu Xuan, but the battlefield of Liu Tai and Sun. Obviously, Liu Miao has lost the sovereignty of the battlefield, but if it weren't for this, Liu Xiang's Chengdu would have been conquered by the Tianci Army a long time ago.

The offensive of the Heavenly Army is getting stronger and stronger!

In terms of the Sword Pavilion, there are now nearly 150,000 Tianci troops stationed.

Since Liu Tai's holy decree was conveyed to Liangzhou, the two Tianci army corps stationed in Liangzhou immediately went south, after more than a month of climbing mountains and wading through water, 60,000 troops converged with Huang Zhong's headquarters soldiers and horses, and Huang Zhong, who got 60,000 reinforcements, suddenly rose in momentum, and the defenders of the Sword Pavilion were infinitely closer to the defenders of the Sword Pavilion on the soldiers' horses.

Of course, because of the geographical location, the siege of the troops is very limited, although there are 60,000 reinforcements, but the actual main attack is still more than 10,000 people, but at this time the Tianci army has no psychological pressure, 150,000 Tianci army, can completely deal with twice the enemy army!

The Jiange coalition army was in a desperate situation, and the situation of Gongsun Zhan's troops fighting in Wenshan County was also very bad. Dian Wei is a general, in the early years of sitting in the northeast for several years, has made Dian Wei's violent temper alleviate a lot, there is a general style, although Yizhou's geographical advantage is not in the heavenly army at all, but Dian Wei more than a year of pondering, finally opened up the passage into the hinterland of Wenshan. As a result, Gongsun Zhan's defense line was shattered and suffered heavy losses.

Dragon and Tiger Fight! This is much the case in Wenshan County today.

Dian Wei pressed forward step by step, and Gongsun Zhan did not give an inch, and the two sides turned every county and village in Wenshan County into a battlefield. In fact, there is no need for Gongsun Chan to fight to the death with the Tianci Army at all, it's just because he was defeated by the Tianci Army in the past, and Gongsun Chan wants to get back this face. But I didn't expect that the Tianci army led by Dian Wei was so strong, even in the weakest mountain warfare link, it became more and more courageous, and it was not embarrassing to force Gongsun Zhan.

In such a situation, how can Gongsun Chan retreat? If he retreats, won't Gongsun Zhan's prestige be swept away? Both sides are gritting their teeth to hold on, even if Wenshan County is beaten into ruins, the two sides will always have to divide a winner, and if Gongsun Chan is defeated, then the Tianci army will definitely be able to drive straight into the hinterland of Shuzhong and cut off the grain road of the Sword Pavilion, and then the death of the Sword Pavilion will naturally be solved.

If Gongsun Chan wins, then naturally he will not let Dian Wei go, and he will definitely hit Yinping County, and after completely destroying the generosity of the Tianci Army, then the rear grain road will be destroyed, and the Tianci Army's plan for the westward expedition is almost a fool's dream. In fact, if you want to divide the victory and defeat in the Battle of Shuzhong, the most important thing is not in the Sword Pavilion, but in the remote Wenshan County, how many people can see this?

Although Gongsun Zhan's situation is not good, in a short period of time, with Dian Wei's attack strength, it is impossible to defeat Gongsun Zhan. In fact, both sides have not really made a move yet, and they are still in the accumulation stage, after all, the real decisive battle, one can divide the victory and defeat, and the battle of Wenshan County has lasted for nearly a year, from here it can be seen that Dian Wei and Gongsun Zan are extremely cautious about this battle, and no one is willing to take a wrong step.
