Chapter 1219: The Clash of Classical Empires (1)

Cao Cao called the clerk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Cao dictated, written by the clerk, and wrote down several orders.

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered the herald to send the order out.

On this morning, it took ten days for the Wei army to finally defeat the defensive front of the Jin army in Tony City.

The Wei army rushed into the city, and as the vanguard, the 5,000 Barrier Sword warriors of the 1st Legion met the 15,000 Jin troops assembled by Huang Yuchu near the Zhisho.

The five thousand obstacle sword warriors shouted violently, broke through the defensive line of the Jin army in one go, and fought with the Jin army.

The first legion of the obstacle knife warriors are extremely brave, several Jin soldiers often can't stand a barrier knife warrior, the Jin soldiers are ruthlessly cut to the ground one after another, the scene of killing is shocking and blood rain is agitated, and the screams are one after another.

The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and the 5,000 First Legion Barrier Sword Warriors completely crushed the fifteen thousand gold troops in front of them with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

At this time, the Jin army in other parts of the city also continued to retreat under the fierce blows of the Wei army.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Huang had to abandon the army that was impossible to escape, and led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to escape from the north gate.

However, not long after tens of thousands of remnants fled from Tony City, they were overwhelmed by thousands of Xianbei cavalry.

The Xianbei cavalry rushed to kill, and the people of the Jin country panicked and suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, only the remnants of the Jin State army, which were less than 10,000 people, escaped.

On the way to the north, Huang received a flying pigeon from Queen Silan.

Huang took it out and opened it, read it again, and said with a wry smile: "This order is too late!" Inform the Empress of the situation here! ”

Two days later, Empress Slan decided to abandon the fortress of Durrant in view of the current unfavorable situation.

Nearly a million Jin Guo's army retreated to the north, very quiet, and everyone looked depressed.

Three days later, the Wei army of Hu Zhao and Zhang Liao joined Cao Cao at the fortress of Durant.

Inside the lobby of the office.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect us to come back so soon! The Empress of Jin Guo is afraid that she is already so angry that she vomits blood! Not only did she not defeat our army's Northern Front as expected, but she lost her extremely important fortress of Khorezm! Cao Cao said excitedly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Hu Zhao said: "Your Majesty, although our army won this battle! However, it has paid a very heavy price! ”

Cao Cao frowned, nodded and said, "What Kong Ming said is extremely true! ”

Looking up at Hu Zhao, "Kong Ming, what are the casualties of our army in this battle?" ”

Hu Zhao said: "The army attacking the Khorezm fortress suffered a total of 150,000 dead and wounded, of which the First Army suffered nearly 40,000 dead and wounded!" The army on the middle line suffered nearly 300,000 dead and wounded, of which the main army of our army reached nearly 150,000! In addition, countless food and grass have been lost! ”

The scene was quiet, and everyone felt extremely heavy about such a loss.

"Strategist, don't just talk about losses, but also about the results!" Ma Chao raised his voice.

Cao Cao smiled, glanced at Hu Zhao, and asked with a smile: "The loss of the people of the Jin Kingdom should not be small, right?" ”

Hu Zhao smiled: "Of course! The people of the Jin Kingdom alone have more than 800,000 killed, wounded and captured soldiers! If the people of Jin Guo are smart, they will no longer have the intention of going south in a short time! ”

All the generals couldn't help but show pride.

Cao Cao asked, "Kong Ming, do you think the people of the Jin Kingdom will not go south in a short time?" ”

Hu Zhao nodded and analyzed: "Although the retreat of the Jin people avoided the doom of being outflanked by General Wen Yuan, it also demoralized!" In addition, due to the extremely difficult situation caused many people in the Jin country by the Jin court in order to raise military salaries, food and grass, there are rebellions everywhere in the Jin country, and they are now too busy to take care of themselves! So the people of Jin Guo can't go south at all! ”

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, "What Kong Ming said is extremely true!" But Kong Ming's words make me think of one of our own problems! ”

After a pause, he glanced at everyone, "Our army also collected grain and grass in Anxi, Kangju and the Western Regions some time ago!" The effects of this must be calmed down immediately! Kong Ming, what do you say we should do? ”

Hu Zhao pondered: "As long as it is a fair trade, even if it is a little forced, the people will not complain!" All we need to do is give the families who are collecting the grain and grass a sum of money equal to the value of the collected grain and grass! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Okay!" That's it! Kong Ming, you're in charge of this matter! ”

"Yes!"

"450,000 soldiers killed and wounded! That's an astronomical amount of money! Cao Cao said with some emotion.

Hu Zhao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't forget that there is still Zilong!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little painful.

"Okay, the matter of the bereavement will be handled by the Chang'an Cabinet! Kong Ming, let's discuss the next strategy! ”

"Yes!"

Hu Zhao promised, "Your Majesty, our army should immediately transfer the main force to the Western Front now!" At present, Zilong, they are quite difficult to resist! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "I think so too!" But this northern line can't be guarded against! After all, the Jin Guoren army is dozens of miles away on the opposite side! ”

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! Weichen thought that General Wenyuan's army could be transferred to the west! ”

Cao Cao said with some concern: "In this way, is there a little less strength to face the Jin army head-on?" ”

Hu Zhao smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry! This is not the case! Now the morale of the people of Jin has been discharged, and they can no longer go south! Otherwise, it's just self-inflicted humiliation! ”

Cao Cao felt that what Hu Zhao said was reasonable, and nodded: "Okay!" Just do what Kong Ming wants! ”

After a pause, "I have decided to go west myself!" ”

Hu Zhao was stunned, "Your Majesty! There's no need to take this risk, right!? ”

Cao Cao interrupted Hu Zhao's words and said with a smile: "I want to see what the Roman army is like!" ”

Hu Zhao thought that Cao Cao wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the Roman army with his own eyes, but in fact, Cao Cao's idea was to see if the real Roman legions were the same as the Roman legions in the movie.

Cao Cao saw that Hu Zhao's face was worried, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming doesn't have to worry! There will be no mistakes in this battle! ”

Hu Zhao hugged his fists and said: "Since Your Majesty has decided, Weichen will not say more!" “

Cao Cao said: "The entire Western Regions and the Northern Route will bother Kong Ming!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Wechen will live up to the trust! ”

Cao Cao nodded, glanced at the generals in the hall, and asked with a smile, "Which of you is willing to follow me to the west?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, all the generals jumped out, and the crowd was excited.

Cao Cao smiled, "Okay, okay!" Don't fight! Meng Qi, Wen Yuan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, the four of you follow me to the west! The others stayed to assist Kong Ming! ”

Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu happily clenched their fists and promised, while the other generals looked a little depressed.

Just when Cao Cao led an army of 450,000 to the west, the war on the Western Front was in full swing.

On this day, the Roman army once again launched a ferocious assault, and several main legions, including a Spartan legion, were thrown into battle, and the intensity of the attack was the most fierce since the beginning of the war.

"The Romans seem to be desperate!" Karen Sa frowned as he looked at the Roman army that was pouring in like a tide.

Zhao Yun on the side looked as usual, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said contemptuously: "What about working hard?" ”

Karen Sa's men hurried up to the city walls, crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows, bed crossbowmen ready to attack.

Everyone's expressions didn't fluctuate much, and the days of fighting had made them accustomed to the scene in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, the catapults of the two sides began to shoot at each other, and the stone bullets staggered in mid-air, falling into the soldiers, setting off a wave of people. At the same time, the 50,000 people of the Roman army rushed towards the city wall with various siege equipment such as flying arms, climbing carts, and rushing carts.

Shouting, the momentum is very amazing, this is a main legion of the Roman army, the second legion, although the combat power of the second legion is not as good as the elite Spartan legion, but it is also the elite of the Roman army, even if it wants to compare with the Spartan legion, it is not far behind, I can't imagine that the Romans sent such an elite as the main attack as soon as they came up!

The Romans rushed under the walls.

The javelinmen then sniped at the city wall with their throwing guns, while some of the soldiers shouted and pushed their climbing equipment onto the city wall, while dozens of soldiers pushed their vans and rammed the gates.

The Romans poured into the caravans and climbed the city walls.

The Roman caravan is obviously different from that of the Wei army, it is a mobile caravan device like a toothpaste box, the ground has wooden wheels, and the whole is wrapped in wooden planks, which makes it impossible for the opponent's crossbowmen to attack the Roman soldiers who are climbing, this kind of caravan has great advantages, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, too bulky!

Moreover, the adaptability to the battlefield is not strong, if it were not for the flat terrain outside Qinxifeng City, this kind of boarding car would not be able to be applied at all.

A stone bullet hit a climbing car, which was stopped and broken into two pieces when it boarded, and the wreckage and several soldiers fell from mid-air, the scene was very spectacular.

The front tailgates of the boarding cars were knocked down one after another, smashing on the wall battlements, stirring up some stone chips. Immediately afterwards, the Romans rushed out of the boarding car with a shout.

At this moment, the crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time fired arrows together, and there was a roar of arrows, only to see more than a dozen Roman soldiers shot down, and many fell from the boarding carts.

Immediately after that, the pikemen stepped forward and attacked the Roman soldiers who rushed down from the rushing carts with terrible guns, only to see a rain of blood stirring up, and the Roman soldiers were stabbed on the spot.

A moment later, the situation was reversed, and the Roman soldiers fearlessly relied on the crowd to squeeze the defender's spear array, and then engaged the opponent in hand-to-hand combat, defeating the defender one after another, while the follow-up Roman soldiers continued to climb the city wall through the city car, and the situation on the wall became more and more unfavorable for the defender.

Seeing this, Karen Sa was in a hurry and prepared to order the reserve team that was waiting under the city walls to go up.

"Wait!" Zhao Yun stopped Karen Sa.

"General, you?"

Zhao Yun glanced at Karen Sa, and his eyes fell on the city wall with a murderous sound, "Your people are afraid that they won't be able to cope with such a situation, so let's do it!" (To be continued.) )
