"Evil, pull the thunderbolt up for me!"

Cao Cao stood on the watchtower, staring coldly at the entire Guandu battle line, one by one decisive orders were issued, the Dian Wei urn beside him roared angrily, and the body the size of a small tank jumped up, stepped on the ground steadily, and then ran towards the barracks behind him.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, put his hands on the fence, his breathing began to become extremely rapid, he just exited the black nest the day before yesterday, Yuan Shao's hind feet followed, the two sides encountered in the Yangwu area, because there was a defense line built by Dian Wei, so that the Cao army was not submerged by the iron armor torrent of the Yuan army, they relied on the deep trench to resist the horse, and the Yuan army launched an evenly matched battle, looking at the deep ditch has been filled with the corpses of the soldiers on both sides, Cao Cao clenched his hands into a fist, and looked at the direction of the black nest hopefully.

At this time, a few whistling flew overhead, and the people in the watchtower subconsciously shrunk their necks, which was the sound of the thunderbolt car, these big guys can run dozens of pounds of boulders far away, it is the best means to contain the enemy's attack, after a morning of tug-of-war, these thunderbolts have been destroyed in half, only half are still operating, but even so, they are still Yuan Shaojun's nightmare on the way to attack.

"Fengxiao, why is Yuan Shao so crazy, whether it is in Wuchao or Yangwu, his attacks are like waves after waves, what do you want to say about this?" Cao Cao didn't look back and asked.

"Although Yuan Shao's method is rude, it is not a bad choice, compared to the heart, of course he can't compare to us, so he will fight straightforwardly, so that any strategy is useless, there is a saying: In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain. Anyway, there are many generals in Hebei, and now our army is sucked in the position and can't move, as long as Yuan Shao is willing to bear the loss and does not relax the attack, in the end it is still us who can't hold it first. ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guo Jia: "All you asked Dian Wei to dig five lines of defense?" ”

Guo Jia's eyes smiled into a crescent moon shape: "Not bad." However, it seems that the five lines of defense are not enough now, and we still have to dig five lanes, and strive to complete them in five days, because the five lines of defense dug earlier can support up to five days! ”

Cao Cao nodded with a gloomy face, he also understood these truths, he turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, he was suddenly very curious, he didn't know how to deal with this most trusted strategist.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao without fear. The two looked at each other for a while, and the silence was finally broken by Dian Wei's joyful voice: "Lord, Yuan Jun has retreated!" ”

Cao Cao pulled his gaze back and moved his gaze to the entire defense line, and the Yuan army finally left a mutilated corpse under the bombardment of the thunderbolt and withdrew from the city wall like a tide, but they did not leave, but were stationed ten miles away from the defense line to bury pots and cook. Wait until you have eaten and drunk enough to continue the attack. Cao Cao was not given the slightest chance to breathe.

"Retreat, or keep?" Cao Cao turned his head and asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia stroked his beard, his crescent-shaped eyes had narrowed into a slit, and his wise eyes kept turning, sweeping the entire defense line left and right, only to see that the defense line at this time had been chiseled by the soldiers on both sides. It was so tattered that it had completely turned into chicken ribs, Guo Jia put down the hand that was stroking his beard, and said categorically: "Withdraw the second line of defense!" ”

Cao Cao looked drowsy, and waved the command flag in his hand: "Retreat!" ”

With Cao Cao's order, it was spread by the heralds. All the Cao troops first looked at Cao Cao on the tower at the same time, and then each began to pack up their swords and bows, slowly withdrew from the first line of defense of Yangwu, and stationed in the second line of defense, their bows and arrows were wound, and their swords were unsheathed, ready to meet at any time.

After Cao Cao handed over the command on the battlefield to Guo Jia, he yawned and entered the big tent of the Chinese army, compared to the hardships of the first-line Cao army on the battlefield, the Chinese army of the Cao army is still calm, here is located on a hill two miles behind the Guandu defense line, there are three encirclement barriers on the periphery, all of which are rough wooden nails, enclosing the big tent of the Chinese army in the middle, the frontline is tight, and the garrison troops here have also been removed a lot, so it must be a lot more deserted, only the passage between the camps has an endless stream of messengers, and every bit of the front line is reported in time.

When the sun moved to the zenith, there were finally fewer messengers on the passage, which indicated that the situation on the front line had stabilized, and even if there was no victory, the loss had ceased to worsen, and the guards in the Chinese camp were a little more relaxed and began to talk about it.

"Hey, brother, why are you going to be quiet this time?" The shouting and killing continued from sunrise to three poles in the sun, and suddenly became unusually quiet at this time, such an atmosphere was a bit treacherous, prompting a young guard who was guarding the gate outside the middle camp to say to his companion, his companion was a veteran, like an old wolf in the middle of the candle, listening to the words of his companion, the veteran laughed: "There was a morning of battle ahead, even the iron man couldn't stay up, it was too hot at noon, both sides had to rest, and when the sun passed the top, the two sides were going to start fighting again!" ”

As soon as the veteran's words fell, suddenly there was a sound of wheels rolling in front of him, and the young guards stretched their necks to look, only to see that on the muddy road, a team of soldiers were pushing carts of corpses from the front line to withdraw to the camp, and slowly walked past them, and the guards recognized the sturdy man at the head, who was the tiger idiot Xu Chu, one of the two captains of their Tiger Guard Battalion, Xu Chu was behind some of the elite of the Cao Army with injuries, each with a murderous aura, disheveled, and many of them were acquaintances.

The young guard looked at the board cars passing by with joy, pointed to Cao Jun who was covered with straw mats on the board cars, turned his head and whispered to the veteran: "Fortunately, I am responsible for guarding the Chinese army, otherwise I would definitely not survive."

The veteran was deeply touched: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years, from the mountain bandits to the Yellow Turban Army, and then to today's Tiger Guard Battalion, the brothers who were together at the beginning, now there is not one in ten, I remember that year and Lu Bu fought in the Tiger Prison, but it is much more tragic than now, no matter how many Shiwu you bring up, all the effort will be gone, and the soldiers on both sides will die faster than flowing water"

While the two men were talking, they saw another soldier approaching, his face was unfamiliar, his armor was covered with mud, and there was a large blood stain on his right arm, this person's strange costume attracted the attention of this old and young man, and the young guard raised his spear in his hand and shouted vigilantly: "What man? ”

The soldier reluctantly raised his right arm, clenched his fist and said, "I was replaced from the front line!" ”

Cao Jun is tight on the front line, and often transfers the elite soldiers stationed in the rear to replace the people who have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, and the young guards obviously don't like his answer, because he comes to replace the post, which means that he is going to go to the battlefield, although he is reluctant in his heart, he still puts down the spear in his hand, and looks at the soldiers who came to replace the post with resentment, the veteran looked the soldier who replaced the post up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Why have I never seen you!" ”

The soldier smiled bitterly: "The battle on the front line has become a pot of porridge, it's all fucking messy, where it's tight, the general will stuff people wherever he goes, he doesn't care which song you are, it's stuffed back and forth, and now the establishment is all in chaos, I was originally a person from General Xiahou Yuan, and I couldn't find the commander of the army when I fought, but I came here." ”

The veteran nodded and glanced at his right arm sympathetically: "Did you hurt your muscles and bones?" Do you still have weapons? ”

The soldier said, "It's okay! ”

The veteran asked him how he was fighting now, the soldier said that he was not very optimistic, Yuan's army was huge, and he often invested several times his own troops in a charge, Cao Jun is now barely resisting with his geographical advantages, it is really hard to say after a long time, the three of them sighed, the young guard looked at all this enviously, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he was going to go to the front line in a while, and he didn't know if he would come back.

The old soldier handed the spear in his hand to the young guard, and said with a sad face: "You show me for a while, and I will go to the hut!" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for his companion's consent, he stuffed the spear into his companion's arms, and then rushed towards the forest, and when he saw him again, the veteran had already appeared in front of them, and he was followed by the tiger idiot Xu Chu.

The veteran and Xu Chu came to the gate, he pointed to the injured Cao Jun and said: "General Xu Chu, it's him, he's a spy!" ”

When Cao Jun heard this, a trace of killing intent quickly flashed in his eyes, although it was fleeting, but it was still felt by Xu Chu, who had been in the army for many years, Xu Chu strode up to him, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you from the Tiger Guard Battalion?" Why have I never met you? ”

Cao Jun replied: "I am a subordinate of General Xiahou, and I came here because I was just dispersed. ”

Xu Chu nodded: "Then I'm General Xiahou?" ”

"Xiahou Yuan!"

Xu Chu laughed, and suddenly the laughter stopped abruptly, he stared at Cao Jun and said, "Then I'll tell you, General Xiahou Yuan is not here at all, who are you?" ”

The young soldier did not realize that something was wrong until this time, and he tried to move a few times, trying to get away from his comrade, who had just arrived, but before he could move, a cold dagger slashed through his throat, and the guard's eyes widened, and he made a sound in his mouth, and his body fell to the ground, his eyes full of despair.

This scene came too fast, and when Xu Chu reacted, the guards had already cut their throats by Cao Jun, and they couldn't help but be furious at the moment, and they drew their knives and slashed: "The person who dares to kill me under my nose doesn't want to live!" ”

With a few roars, the Cao Jun was slashed to the ground by Xu Chu, Xu Chu put the knife into the sheath, but looked at the guards lying on the ground, and muttered: "You died unjustly, at least let me know that he is not a spy, but an assassin who came to assassinate the prime minister!" After Xu Chu finished speaking, he hurriedly ran back to the Chinese army's big tent. (To be continued.) )
