"Have you ever seen Yuan Shao, or Yuan Shao's handsome banner?"

In the center of the Xiliang army array, Li Li looked at Cao Cao's handsome banner fluttering in the wind on the trenches in the north, and asked the generals in a deep voice.

"No, there are Cao Jun's banners everywhere, and I haven't seen Yuan Shao's handsome banner." Gongsun Chan replied.

Huan Fei, Chen Zhi and others nodded in agreement, saying that they had never seen Yuan Shao's Daxu, and even the banners of the generals under Yuan Shao's account were very few, and it seemed that the generals under Cao Cao's account were leading the battle at this moment.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Li's eyes after hearing this, and he bowed slightly thoughtfully: "That's it." It is no wonder that this ambush was so vicious and ruthless, almost exhaustive, and there was no flaw to follow, it turned out that this qiē was all done by Cao Cao. If Yuan Shao was the coach, he would not be so meticulous, let alone so cautious and strict, and now such a ruthless act can only be done by Yanzhou Cao Cao. ”

"Why is that?" Gongsun Chan asked casually. After saying that, he regretted it, after all, the current situation is critical, who has the time to say such irrelevant things.

However, to Gongsun Zhan's surprise, Li Li did not blame him, but said as if he had an understanding: "Cao Cao is a very deep city, and he is bold and vicious, which is really not to be underestimated. Before, his 50,000 elite soldiers were almost killed and wounded, but he didn't even frown, and this was just to dispel my suspicions about him and win the trust of our army. It can be seen from this how ruthless and scheming his people are. And he is so vicious to his own officers and soldiers, today he will inevitably intensify his efforts against our army and do everything he can. The scene in front of me is enough to illustrate a qiē. From this, it can also be concluded that he is the commander of this mixed army of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun! ”

Gongsun Zhan looked dazed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Even if Cao Cao is the boss." And what use is it for our army? At present, we are under siege, whether Cao Cao commands the army or Yuan Shao is in charge of the army, the result is the same, our army will face the crisis of annihilation. Gongsun Chan was rather pessimistic, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that he was afraid of the situation in front of him and had completely lost his fighting spirit. It's like resigned to defeat.

Li Li was keenly aware of Gongsun Zhan's frustration and lack of fighting spirit, while the other generals were all gloomy when they heard Gongsun Zhan's words. is also very worried about the current situation, which is equivalent to admitting that what Gongsun Chan said is the truth.

Seeing this, Li Li's eyelids jumped, and the gloomy and solemn color on his face instantly faded. Instead, he smiled. With a calm smile, he asked, "Bo Gui still remembers when Cao Cao led his army into the city?" ”

This smile shocked the generals' hearts, and they all looked at Li Li with surprise on their faces, and they were deeply surprised that he could still smile at this time, and everyone's minds couldn't help but relax a lot. After all, Li Li, as the leader of an army, can still laugh at this time, which shows that the current situation is not irreparable, and he has already thought of a way to break through.

As a matter of fact. The smile on Li Li's face was only to alleviate the pessimism of the generals and did it reluctantly, which was equivalent to forcing a smile. It's purely expedient, and its purpose is to boost the morale of the people who love you and get them back on their feet. As for the way to break through, Li Li has no good plan, only a general direction, and still needs to prove some details before he can draw conclusions.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zhan said without thinking: "Cao Cao led the army into the city a quarter of an hour before our army arrived at the south gate. Why ??????" Half of the words were left in his mouth, because Gongsun Chan realized that he had lost his words. He wanted to say, "Why does the lord ask knowingly", but he suddenly realized that he was a subordinate, how could he speak to the lord like this, so he stopped abruptly after saying half of his words.

Li Li didn't have the heart to think about these small sections at this time, and after hearing this, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, I saw that Cao Cao only led the army into the city a quarter of an hour in advance. However, this qiē in front of him shows that everything Cao Cao has done before has been deliberately done for us to see, and its purpose is to make us relax our vigilance and believe in the sincerity of his alliance. From this, it is not difficult to imagine that he had secretly formed an alliance with Yuan Shao in advance, or secretly colluded with Yuan Shao, and designed to deceive our army into entering the city. Even?????? I suspect that Cao Cao has taken over all of Yuan Shao's troops and horses at the moment, otherwise he would not have such ample forces to besiege our army. ”

After a pause, Li Li's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly clenched his fists and said coldly: "In this case, there is only one way for us to break out, which is to concentrate all the soldiers and horses to kill Cao Cao's handsome banner to the north, and then seize Yuan Shao's palace, and use the palace to resist the enemy's strong bow and crossbow." Yes, that's it! After speaking, Li Li waved his arms, as if he had made a lot of determination, his expression was extremely firm, and he was quite fearless.

"Break through to the north? This ??????" Gongsun Zhan, Huan Fei and others were shocked when they heard this, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Indeed, Yuan Shao's mansion is indeed in the north of the city, and it is built facing south from the north. However, outside the north gate of Yecheng is the hinterland of Jizhou, and all counties and counties are stationed with Yuan troops. Rather than this, it is better to storm the south gate with all your might, at least there is a glimmer of life. This is the unanimous idea of the generals, and it is also what they are puzzled about.

"Could it be that the lord came up with such a bad idea after thinking about it for a long time?" This question arose in the minds of the generals.

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the generals, Li Li smiled indifferently and said very firmly: "The most dangerous place is often the safest. Cao Cao rushed into the city first, and immediately organized a large army to ambush our army, thinking that he did not go to the state palace (imperial palace), or that he did not have time to meet Yuan Shao. In this case, it means that there is no ambush around the State Governor's Mansion, at least there is no trap in Yuan Shao's palace in advance, and this is the hiding place and refuge of our others. ”

After a pause in his voice, seeing that everyone still didn't understand, Li Li continued: "If you still don't understand, then you will understand it in another way." In fact, it is not that our army is inferior to Cao's army in combat strength, but that our army does not have the opportunity to fight with Cao's army in close combat. Otherwise, don't look at the number of people under his account, and fight us head-on without fear of him, and have the ability to win more with less, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor. What our army lacks now is a place with cover to block crossbow arrows, and once our army has a firm foothold, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

Besides, even if we are trapped in the city, as long as we find a well-stocked hiding place, what if we are trapped in the city for half a month or a month? Don't we have any reinforcements? It must be known that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the rear of my Xiliang, even if Yecheng is an iron wall, my Xiliang army can raze it to the ground within a month! ”

"That's right! The lord's words woke up the dreamer, and I will listen to the lord's dispatch! Without further ado, my lord, give the order! Gongsun Zhan, Huan Fei and others suddenly realized.

??????“ Kill---Roar, Click! ”

More than 5,000 ownerless war horses rushed to the front, opening the way for the army to charge.

The Golden Lion Beast King was among these war horses, and it was its Beast King's roar that drove these war horses that had lost their owners to gallop and rush towards the Cao soldiers on the high ground north of the trench.

The sound of "swishing" arrows breaking through the air and the "swishing" crossbow arrows roaring in the wind, but these arrows like dark clouds could not stop the galloping momentum of thousands of war horses. As long as they are not shot immediately, the horse will carry a cluster of arrows like a hedgehog on its back and continue to charge forward until it falls and dies.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

As the first horse crashed into the giant shield on the high ground of the trench, followed by the second, third, and fourth?????? Even thousands of ownerless war horses brazenly rushed into the giant shield array.

Suddenly, rows of giant shieldmen were knocked upside down by the crazy horses and flew out, knocking down a large number of pikemen. There are also hundreds of war horses that were pierced through the neck of the horse by the spear mounted on the giant shield, and suddenly the people turned on their backs, and the huge impact inertia still broke through the giant shield array. The war horse was stabbed to death, but when it was dying, it also pulled a few Cao soldiers on its back, and successfully completed its mission.

The giant shield array was broken by the horses, the pikemen were innocently killed, and the archers who followed them were thrown into disarray, causing the crossbowmen to scatter in panic. As a result, the layers of the siege defense line were torn apart, which affected many Cao army soldiers around the gap, making them no longer able to concentrate on high-intensity and high-density continuous arrows, so that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who was closely behind the war horse, had the opportunity to rush to the trench and fight with the Cao army head-on.

And this is exactly what they have been waiting for, and it is the perfect time for them to vent their anger for a long time.

"Rush, kill!"

In the midst of the earth-shattering roar, as the first batch of 3,000 Xiliang cavalry rushed to the trenches to fight with the Cao army, Li Li harnessed the horses left by Li Zhi and took the lead and rushed into the Cao army. Huan Fei and Gongsun Zhan followed closely on the left and right sides of Li Li, Chen Zhi and Ke Bineng followed behind, and the prancing horse swung his sword into the Cao army's formation.

Behind them, Xu Ding, He Man, Huang Lie and more than 20 generals led more than 20,000 iron horsemen to rush out of the trench like a tiger out of a cage, and rushed towards the Cao army soldiers along the gap torn by Li Li and others. At this moment, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had been shot by a bow and crossbow before, really showed its fierce and incomparable combat effectiveness, wielding a knife on a horse, killing pikemen, archers, and crossbow soldiers with their heads and rats, as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, galloping across the country, unmatched.

In the blink of an eye, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry broke through several lines of defense and went straight to the Four Horse Kings who were a hundred steps away in front of him. Because there is a big flag swaying in the wind directly behind the extremely wide carriage, and the word "Cao" is written on it, which is Cao Cao's Chinese army commander's flag, and this four-horse carriage is the prince's car of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde.
