~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Syllable! A sketch of the newly completed drawing was photographed on the case, and Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Cao Ang, and Han Hao sat around and watched.

Cao Cao tapped his fingers all the way: "This is the gate of Shouchun Palace, go straight ahead, pass through Huilong Road, and then pass through two side halls, and go forward two hundred steps, which is the main hall." This is the highest point in the city, and it is also the most likely place for Maham. The goal of this battle is to kill here. ”

Cao Cao's fingers returned to the original point, crossed in a straight line, and poked heavily in the main hall: "The whole journey is eight hundred steps, the goal of the monarchs is to rush through these eight hundred steps, and stab the halberd between the eyebrows of the horse, who can relieve the worries of loneliness?" ”

Cao Hong, Cao Ang, and Han Hao stood up at the same time: "I didn't want to go." ”

Cao Cao's gaze wandered back and forth on the faces of the three people, and finally settled on Cao Ang, staring at the eldest son for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay!" Give you a battalion of foot soldiers, and go. ”

Knock knock knock! The drums beat loudly.

Cao Ang and fifty armor soldiers, wearing double armor and holding halberd wooden shields, stood in front of the battle; They were followed by two hundred sharpmen dressed in two-rank armor, and a sword-headed sword, half with a shield and half with a bow; Behind them, there are 400 spears and halberds, no armor and no shields, and more than 100 auxiliary guards carrying ladders and pillars; At the end of the military formation, there were dozens of overseers with heavy weapons such as axes and guns.

Except for the three white feathers on his helmet, Cao Ang was different, and the rest of his armor, weapons, and shields were no different from others.

Cao Ang took a deep breath, stabbed the sky with a long halberd, and roared loudly: "The Ruishi of the Kingdom of Qiao, you are unstoppable!" "The first one stepped forward.

"The Warriors of the Kingdom. Unstoppable! ”

The fifty men behind him shouted in unison, quickly following and quickly protecting Cao Ang in the center.

The eldest son of the commander has personally charged, is there anything more motivating than this? The two hundred Rui Shi and the five hundred Cangtou all shouted in unison, regardless of whether they were from the country or not, anyway, after they roared out, they were full of momentum and spirit.

On the corner tower on the right side of Miyagi, Gao Shun is draped all over his body, carrying two knives at his waist and holding a spear in one hand. Under the brim of the iron hat were two majestic and cold gazes.

Gao Shun and his 500 dead soldiers are the first line of defense.

In the first battle, Cao Ang kicked the iron plate. It's just that Cao Ang doesn't know at this time, he only knows two things: first, the Ma Han he is most afraid of, the opponent is not Ma Han, and his Cao Zixiu naturally has double his courage. Second, his opponents are Gao Shun and Xia Pi Bing.

Who is Gao Shun? When Cao's soldiers surrounded Pi, this person was tied up by his peers and sacrificed to Cao's camp and became a prisoner. was almost beheaded, and the soldiers were even more defeated under Cao Jun, although the fighting equipment was excellent, but the combat strength was doubtful. Such a "soft persimmon" is not pinched. Do you want to keep it for the New Year?

Cao Jun was still fifty steps away from the Que Gate, and a command flag was suddenly raised in the right corner tower of the palace city, and a rapid drum sound sounded immediately.

Behind the palace wall, a row of helmets and sleeve armor appeared. A warrior armed with a variety of bows and crossbows. Almost as soon as they appeared, the sound of strings flipped incessantly, and a puff of arrows exploded like hedgehogs. Rain down on the attacking enemy.

Tuk tuk tuk! The continuous sound of beating makes people's eardrums hurt. The armor, wooden shields, and arrows were inserted, and the fifty armor soldiers were like scarecrows, but none of them fell, and the double-layer armor was really enough to hang.

However, the two hundred Ruishi who followed behind were not so lucky. The thin and worn leather armor on their bodies could not stop the strong crossbows and hard bows. A rain of arrows struck, and one fell instantly. The unarmored and shieldless pawn behind saw it, and there was a commotion.

When Cao Hong, who was experienced in combat, saw it, he immediately rushed to the drum, grabbed the mallet, and beat the drum himself. In doing so, he not only boosted morale, but also urged the battle battalion to charge. As long as you launch a charge, all hesitation and timidity will be wrapped and pushed by the surging crowd, and disappear completely.

Cao Ang and Hu rushed from the armor to the deer first, stopped, and formed a formation with shields. Behind him, more than 100 sharp soldiers poured out from the middle of the formation, and they also erected shields in formation, and began to draw their bows and shoot back. The arrows were swift and swift, but it was clear that their enemies were better armoured and had little effect in returning fire. Finally, the auxiliary of the pale head stroke, under the coercion of the warlord, rushed out empty-handed, braving the arrows that kept flying past him and sneering, and moved the deer to resist the horse.

Naturally, the defenders would not let them do this, and the arrows immediately beckoned to the auxiliaries.

These auxiliaries say that they are soldiers at best, but they are conscripted servants who have not undergone any training and have no weapons, and are purely cannon fodder. The meaning of their existence is to take their lives to go through a passage.

Under the chaotic arrows, life and death are not up to oneself.

As soon as someone lifted the stake to reject the horse, he was pierced through the chest by an arrow, vomiting blood and falling down; Some people struggled to push down the deer, but before they could let go, they were nailed to death by arrows; Some people were even lucky enough to complete the task of removing obstacles, just turned around and ran a few steps, but fortunately they could not continue to favor and were shot down by a stream of arrows......

Cao Jun rushed out three groups of auxiliary soldiers, a total of more than 70 people, and less than 20 people were able to escape alive in the end. is to take his flesh and blood life to forge a path of attack. Of course, this is not to say that Cao Jun's su zhì is good. At the rear of the formation, the axes of the overseers were stained with blood and flesh, and under their feet were more than a dozen twisted corpses—all of them auxiliary soldiers who had disobeyed orders and dared not rush out of the way.

If you don't rush, you will die, and if you rush, there is still a chance of life, and everyone knows how to choose. It's not about courage or plain feelings, it's just about the human instinct to survive.

The barricades were cleared, and the soldiers inside the palace walls stopped shooting and took out their weapons one after another, knowing that the next step would be a hand-to-hand combat to the death.

Cao Ang divided the assault battalion into three groups, with the light-armored warriors taking the lead, the cangtou soldiers following closely behind, and the heavy-armored warriors behind. This division is reasonable, the will to fight and equipment are the worst, it is not easy to open up the situation if you take the lead, and once you can't resist and defeat, it will affect the morale of the army; The heavy armor is the finale, and it can't achieve the effect of Mount Tai pressing too early. It is most suitable to take the light armor first.

More than 160 lightly armored warriors, inspired by the sound of drums, almost drew their swords one after another. Pieces of metal are reflective, dazzling, cold, and the scorching air seems to have plummeted a few degrees.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

With the sound of shouting and killing that resounded in the sky, the offensive and defensive battle of Shouchun began.

The wall of Shouchun Palace is not high, about one zhang five (three meters five), which is equal to the height of a modern one-story building, and the ladder can be climbed over the past. Of course, before that, the roadblocks need to be knocked out.

Yes, as soon as they fought, Cao Ang felt that these armor soldiers were all obstacles, and their previous self-confidence and contempt were shattered in one fell swoop.

Bang bang! More than ten ladders slapped up the palace wall in turn, and Cao Junrui held a shield and a knife, and flew up. As soon as the head was revealed, a sharp spear and halberd pierced out from behind the wall, fast, accurate and ruthless. Poof, the wooden shield was pierced, and Cao Jun's sharp warrior sword was raised, and he fell down involuntarily.

The second group climbed the ladder and were poked down in the same way.

It seems that it is a simple poke and stab, but the timing and strength of the shot are just right, and non-veteran soldiers can't do it.

Cao Jun's sharp soldiers rushed five times in a row, killed more than 30 people, and finally rushed to the palace wall and jumped down - only to find that after the thick earthwork (anti-impact) of the palace wall, under the shade of trees, three hundred dead soldiers from the trapped camp were neatly arranged, forming a tight formation. A pawn jumped down, and he was greeted by a dozen spears and halberds, which instantly poked into a sieve.

Cao Jun only has a dozen ladders, and he can only rush up to a dozen people at the same time at most, even if they can break through, after jumping off the wall, everyone has to face more than a dozen or twenty long and short soldiers. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if Cao Hong rushed in, he couldn't parry.

In an instant, more than half of the Cao army's sharp soldiers were killed and wounded, and the rest of the sharp soldiers were all depressed and did not dare to attack again.

Shout! Cao Ang shot an arrow, and he was in the middle of the door, although he had strong armor, but he couldn't protect his face, the dead man covered his face and screamed and fell.

"Foolish!" Cao Ang roared.

The 400 pale pawns were even more scum, and in less than half an hour, they were killed by more than 400 dead soldiers in the trap camp who were good at both attacking and defending.

Cao Ang threw his bow and drew his halberd, and sent out a final attack on the trapped camp with fifty armor soldiers.

When Cao Ang led his army to fight a bloody battle with the trapped camp, Cao Cao was gloomy and carefully checked the battle situation, and at the same time constantly received and analyzed all kinds of information: no reinforcements, no ambushes, no secret passages, no back-ups...... There is nothing, why is Ma Han so calm? Is it just these five hundred fallen soldiers and his generals' guards?

Cao Cao admitted that he had indeed underestimated Gao Shun and his trapping camp before, and this was indeed a powerful army. I still remember that when I fought with Lu Bu, I suffered the loss of being trapped in the camp and was burned half a battalion of grain and grass. But no matter how strong this army is, it is limited - their number is limited, 500 people can win a thousand Cao soldiers, defeat 2,000 Cao soldiers, but can they beat 3,000, 4,000, 8,000? The same is true of the general's guard, which has only a few hundred men.

As for Yuan Yao's battalion of palace guards, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to it at all, he fought with Yuan Shu's "elite", and it felt like that.

Cao Cao knew Ma Han, and he also heard Xun Yu say that Ma Han's two major masterminds, Guo Jia and Xun You, were powerful. He didn't believe that, with the wisdom of these men, he couldn't see the slightest clue before he attacked...... But the facts are in front of him, Ma Han really doesn't seem to be prepared, there are only 1,500 soldiers in the entire Shouchun Palace, and he is surrounded by his 8,000 soldiers and horses.

What exactly is Ma Han's idea?

Cao Hong stretched out his finger and drew a circle in Shouchun Palace, and then drew a circle around the west, south, and north gates of Shouchun, and then clicked on the more than 12,000 Cao Jun who were sandwiched in the middle, and looked up at the clan brother without speaking.

Cao Cao understood and muttered: "The center blooms, and it is surrounded on three sides-Ma Han, do you have such an idea?" Hehe, the idea is good, but under the bombardment of my 8,000 army, how can you, more than 1,000 people, blossom in the center? If the center cannot bloom, how can the three sides be enclosed? ”

Cao Cao threw the horsewhip in his hand to the desk: "You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder to see who can hold out to the end." Zilian, it's time for you to make a move. (To be continued......)
