Chapter 377: Guandu (1) 1/3
Rumble!
A heavenly thunderbolt exploded on the head of the Tiger Prison Pass.
A ball of flame suddenly appeared, accompanied by thick gunsmoke, and iron nails shot out in all directions...... Several Cao Jun, who couldn't dodge, were hit by the four-shot iron nails and fell in a pool of blood crying. However, several soldiers soon rushed up and carried them down from the city, and their own military doctors came forward to treat them.
Since Liu Chuang popularized military medicine in the Han army, Cao Cao also quickly established a medical force.
However, most of Cao Jun's doctors and nurses were students recruited from Nanshan Academy and the later Yanjing Academy. Liu Chuang opened a academy, vigorously promoted medical skills, and summed up a set of simple and effective battlefield treatment procedures. After graduation, most of these cadets entered the Han army. However, there were still some students who did not want to stay in Yanjing, so they were bought by Cao Cao.
After a year of simple training, Cao Junli also began to be equipped with medical personnel.
Because Cao Cao also knew that the survival of these veterans who had been on the battlefield was definitely an immeasurable wealth. Therefore, Cao Cao also attached great importance to the medical and nursing system, and even set up a special post of military Sima in the army, which was taken by these medical soldiers.
In the face of the Han army's ferocious thunder and fire attack, Cao Peng's face sank like water.
The cry, the cry for help, he didn't hear it, he just quietly looked at the Han army outside the city, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
I have to say that with the passage of time, the deterrent power of the heavenly thunder fire is slowly weakening.
Even the black powder developed by Huang Chengyan is generally close to the black powder formula of later generations, but due to the development of science and technology, it also makes the black powder power at this time. Far from being comparable to later generations. The lethality of the Heavenly Thunder Fire is not as great as imagined. And its loud explosion. For Cao Jun, who had already been mentally prepared, it was far from achieving the initial effect.
In order to attack the Tiger Prison this time, Liu Chuang ordered someone to allocate 3,000 Heavenly Thunder Fire, which is almost the output of the entire Liaodong Workshop for two months.
Although its deterrent power is not as good as before, the continuous projectiles still pose a huge threat to the head of the Tiger Prison Pass. Sergeant Cao had to dodge carefully, after all, once he was hit by the heavenly thunder fire, even if the power was not comparable to that of future generations. It can also blow up people's flesh and blood. What's more, after the Heavenly Thunder Fire exploded, it covered a wide area, which also caused Cao Jun to have to dodge carefully.
In this way, it also brought a lot of convenience to the attack of the Han army.
Liu Chuang watched the black smoke billowing from the tiger prison, and immediately ordered the three armies to attack.
The impatient Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass like a tide to the sound of rumbling war drums...... Cao Peng hid behind the female wall, his face was still stained with blood, and when he saw that the Han army stopped throwing thunder and fire, the Han soldiers approached the city wall. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”
In an instant, thousands of Cao Jun archers hiding behind the female wall stood up at the same time. Shoot arrows desperately outside the city.
The Han soldiers who rushed to the front were shot by this sudden rain of arrows and fell to the ground one after another, screaming incessantly...... However, even so, the offensive of the Han army did not weaken in the slightest, and still launched a frenzied charge, and quickly came to the foot of the Tiger Prison Pass.
Liu Chuang stood under the door flag and watched the battle, with a solemn expression.
He could see that those Cao Jun seemed to have prepared, so the lethality of the Heavenly Thunder Fire did not achieve the expected effect.
Yes, the advent of gunpowder can indeed change the pattern of war.
But today's gunpowder technology is obviously not able to produce such an effect, which also makes Liu Chuang feel more or less disappointed......
If the technology of gunpowder can reach the level of later generations, I am afraid that this tiger will not be able to resist for too long.
After the deterrent effect of the thunder and fire weakened, it could only rely on the impact of the soldiers...... Liu Chuang thought of this, so he called Gao Shun, "Xiaogong, I have heard for a long time that the camp is invincible, but unfortunately I have not been able to understand it." But I don't know that I am now in the camp, but I still have the prestige of the past? ”
When Gao Shun heard this, he suddenly became anxious.
"How can I say this, my lord, I have been in the state for a while, but I have not relaxed the training of the trapping camp."
"In this way, I will bother Lao Xiaogong to give an order, and I will be ordered to attack in the camp!"
"Whoa!"
Gao Shun was already a little impatient waiting for this order.
Since Liu Chuang captured the state, Gao Shun stayed in Taiyuan. After that, he became the Taishou of the Shangdang, but in fact, in the battle against the Shangdang, he did not spend too much effort. At that time, Liu Chuang swept through the state, which has become an irreversible trend. Yuan Jun had no intention of resisting at all, and he was powerless to resist, and Gao Shun almost took down the Shangdang without blood. In terms of military exploits, Gao Shun can be described as prominent. But from his heart, he doesn't want to be able to fight a tough battle all the time. Therefore, in the past few years, his training in the trapping camp has also been extremely strict. The trap camp has grown from 800 people at the beginning to 3,000 people today, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than before.
Now, before the Tiger Prison Pass, it is the time for Gao Shun to establish meritorious service.
Seeing Liu Chuang using the thunder fire, Gao Shun was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that Liu Chuang was a bit of a killer. But when he saw Cao Jun's stubborn resistance, Gao Shun was relieved! At the same time, he was even more excited, hoping to get to the Tiger Prison first and revive his reputation as a battleman.
Trapped in the camp, since leaving Qingzhou, it has been too long since he has been prestigious!
Now is the time for the resurgence of the trapped camp......
Gao Shun took the order and left, and the three thousand trapped camp quickly went out.
"Lord, isn't it a little anxious to order a battle attack now?"
Fa Zheng couldn't help but ask, but saw Liu Chuang gently shake his head and said, "The Heavenly Thunder Fire didn't produce the effect I expected, so I have to make Cao Jun feel afraid." Trapping in this battle may not be able to capture the tiger prison, but it is enough to give Cao Jun a certain deterrent.
Filial piety, I can't delay too long.
Cao Cao has already begun to come back to help, and if I delay in the Tiger Prison for one more day, it will be more trouble...... The sooner you conquer the Tiger Prison, the less of a threat. ”
Fa Zheng thought about it and understood Liu Chuang's intentions.
He was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a tsunami-like shout.
Under the cover of the Han army's bows and arrows, the 3,000 trap camp launched an attack on the Tiger Prison Pass...... They move extremely quickly, but in the middle of the action. The formation didn't loosen up in the slightest. Unlike other centaur charges. The trapping camp always kept its formation neat between actions. Three thousand soldiers and horses swarmed up, but Cao Jun, who was guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, felt an extraordinary momentum......
Overwhelming!
Cao Peng's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Xiahoudun, who was beside him, recognized Da Xu, who was trapped in the camp, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Trapped camp, this is Lu Bu's trapped camp!" ”
Xiahoudun is very familiar with the trapped camp.
When he was in the third year of Jian'an, he led his troops to attack Peiguo. But he didn't want to be attacked by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.
That battle can be described as the most tragic battle in Xiahoudun's life...... Gao Shun fell into battle with 800 and forcibly defeated Cao's army, which was ten times his size. And Xiahoudun even witnessed the ferocity of the trapped camp, although many years have passed, but this memory is still profound.
Cao Peng shouted: "Boyi, command on my behalf, and I will meet the enemy with my uncle." ”
The power of the trapped camp was so strong that Cao Peng had to be cautious...... At the same time, the Han army began to fire rocks at the head of the city, and the forward troops of the trapped camp had already rushed to the bottom of the city. A number of ladders were quickly set up on the city wall, and the trapped warriors climbed along the ladders to the head of the Tiger Prison Pass. It's blazing fast. In the blink of an eye, someone climbed to the top of the city. Although the man was quickly killed by Cao's army, with his ascension to the city, more trapped soldiers also began to climb the city, and launched a fierce battle with Cao's army at the Tiger Prison Pass.
Cao Peng held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and ran around the city with Xiahoudun, constantly killing the Han soldiers who climbed the city.
With the siege of the city, but also made the morale of the Han army skyrocket, more and more Han troops began to climb the head of the tiger prison pass, the two sides in the narrow gallop road to start a desperate struggle, only to see flesh and blood flying, a corpse continued to fall from the city. The ferocity of the trapped camp really frightened Cao Peng...... These guys are simply a group of outlaws who are not afraid of life and death, killing people when they see them, and cutting them when they meet them. Cao Peng saw with his own eyes that several trapped soldiers, in order to cover the robes behind them, even if they were seriously injured, they still pounced on them and fought with the Cao soldiers. Some jumped from the city with the Cao soldiers in their arms, while others threw the Cao soldiers down and fought and scuffled on the ground until they died of exhaustion.
can garrison the Tiger Prison, all of them are the elite of the Cao Army......
However, under the frenzied attack of the Han army, even if the Cao army had an advantage in numbers, it was defeated and retreated by the Han army......
"Tiger Guards, Tiger Guards attack!"
Seeing this, Cao Peng hurriedly shouted loudly.
An elite Cao army rushed up from under the city and quickly stopped the Han army.
This Cao army is also the Tiger Guard trained by Cao Peng himself, and it is also an elite horse in the Cao army, second only to the tiger and leopard.
Originally, Cao Peng didn't plan to let the Tiger Guards appear so soon.
However, the offensive of the Han army was too fierce, and he had to use the most elite men and horses to resist the offensive of the Han army......
The Tiger Guards appeared, and soon stabilized their position, and the numerical superiority of the Cao army was also revealed, and they began to launch a counterattack against the Han army.
Although the battle is brave, after all, there is a shortage of manpower.
Under the fierce counterattack of the Cao army, they began to retreat......
Seeing this, Gao Shun was furious and was about to attack again, but he heard a rapid sound of gold.
"My lord, why do you collect the troops?"
Gao Shun came to Liu Chuang angrily and asked loudly, "Give me another half an hour, and I will definitely be able to capture the Tiger Prison Pass......"
"Xiaogong, don't worry!
I've seen the bravery of the fallen sons.
However, Cao Jun was not unprepared...... The appearance of the Cao army just now is obviously their hole card...... You don't have to worry, there is still an opportunity. If you continue to fight like this, don't say half an hour, that is, two hours, three hours, and you won't be able to overcome the Tiger Prison. Tiger Prison is known as the No. 1 Xiongguan in Heluo, how can it be so easy to capture? If you continue to attack like this, if you don't feel sorry for your sons, I will also feel sorry for you.
Let's retire for the time being, I want to see how long he Cao Youxue can last. ”
Gao Shun, silent!
He didn't know that he couldn't overcome the tiger prison in half an hour.
Indeed, Cao Jun still has hole cards in his hand, if he continues to attack so strongly, even if the trapped camp is all killed, he may not be able to capture the tiger prison.
These sons and daughters were trained by him himself, and they were regarded as nephews.
On that charge, more than 100 people were killed and injured in the battle, and now that I think about it, I am really distressed.
What Liu Chuang said makes sense, there is no need to rush for a while...... (To be continued......)
