Chapter 656 A Brutal Bloody Battle
Dian Wei can also be ranked among the top five in the entire sequence of generals in the Celestial Empire, and some people even say that in addition to Lu Bu, it is him. Of course, in fact, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others are all similar in strength, just because they all belong to Zhang Chao's Celestial Dynasty Group, they can't really fight to the death.
With such a name, Dian Wei is naturally not afraid of anyone, and now even in the face of Xiahou Dun, the number one general under Cao Cao, he still does not have the slightest fear, but swings the halberd handle in his hand, which means that he will not be able to return.
Xiahoudun is definitely the strongest general in the Wei State, or there is no one of them. In history, he was once known as Blind Xiahou, because he lost one of his eyes during the war, but he was still very brave and strong.
This time, as the first person to fight, he naturally wanted to snatch the merit first. He knew that he would not be the opponent of the first fierce general Lu Bu, but if he had the opportunity, he thought that he could kill some other generals of the Celestial Empire and find some interest for his younger brother Xiahou Yuan.
It's a pity that this time he met the fierce general Dian Wei, and the two fought, only a dozen rounds later, he was shocked, and he knew that it was almost impossible to win in the fight this time.
Dian Wei's power is not as brave as blocking, just the power transmitted from the Drilling Heart Gun is enough to shock Xiahou Yuan. Every time he fires a shot, it always gives people the feeling of hitting a boulder.
What's more, Dian Wei's pair of iron halberds weighed eighty catties alone, but such a weight in his hands was indeed waved to the point that nothing was revealed at all, which made Xiahoudun want to take advantage of it, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Fortunately, Xiahoudun's marksmanship is also a great success, and the drilling gun is also handy in his hands, and the attack and defense are orderly, although the strength is not as good as the halberd, but it can also be invincible by virtue of flexibility and speed.
In reality, unless the strength of the two generals is too different, otherwise, it will be very difficult for anyone to win in a short period of time. Especially famous generals like Dian Wei and Xiahoudun, if they want to divide the winner and loser, it will be at least 80 rounds.
After about fifty rounds, both sides were Ming Jin and returned with some unfinished fighting.
After Dian Wei returned to the army, he saw Zhang Chao raise his arms, made a promise, and stepped aside. He could see that Xiahoudun was skilled in marksmanship and flexible, and it was really difficult to defeat him. Therefore, he did not have any opinion on the emperor's actions.
"Hehe, Ziman has matured a lot." Zhang Chao, who was still waiting for the other party to complain, saw that the tiger was about to return to the camp, so he didn't say a word, and immediately said with a smile.
"The emperor laughed, this Xiahoudun is very strong, and it is not easy to defeat him." Dian Wei told the truth in his usual style.
"Okay, yes, that's what I see in my eyes. But don't worry, you're going to fight the big battle, so take a rest now. General Zhang Liao is available? Zhang Chao showed an appreciative expression to Dian Wei, and then said out loud.
"The minister is here." Zhang Liao stepped out and hugged his fists.
"I now order you to order 50,000 troops to attack the enemy." Zhang Chao's eyes were firm, and he said in an unquestionable tone. Among the fighting generals, he did not take any advantage, even so, so he raised his troops and rushed, he wanted to let the Wei army know that the cavalry of the Celestial Empire was powerful.
"Commandment." After Zhang Liao agreed, he turned around and made arrangements. He knew that Zhang Chao was the general of the Seventh Legion, which in itself was a kind of trust, and even if it was so, of course he had to behave well.
Xiahoudun also returned to the camp, but as soon as he arrived in front of the battle, he said to Cao Cao with some resentment: "Your Majesty, that Dian Wei is using a heavy halberd, and if he fights, his strength will be exhausted, how can he say that Ming Jinyi?"
Xiahou was angry and did not report it, just from this point of view, it can be seen that Cao Cao's army is different from Zhang Chao's leadership.
Zhang Chao led the troops to pay attention to the order to prohibit, will be ordered, all soldiers must be unconditionally implemented, even if you are facing a good situation, the general said to withdraw, then it must be withdrawn, there must be no excuse and reason, otherwise military law will be engaged.
This is also what Zhang Chao has realized from the modern army leadership, and the facts have also proved that the advantage of this is that the entire army has a stronger cohesion and stronger combat effectiveness. Just imagine, when a military order is issued and the people below refuse to carry it out, how can an army that does not even have military regulations talk about winning a war?
is Cao Cao, although he is also very good at governing the army, but he still seems to be too loose about military orders. Although he also emphasized that military orders are issued and soldiers obey orders, it is not so thorough to really carry it out. For this point alone, the ratio of combat effectiveness of the two armies, the Celestial Empire won first. In fact, compared to Xishu, the military discipline of the Wei army is also inferior, at least Zhuge Liang really dares to talk about the heads of his generals in order to explain the military discipline, but Cao Cao's love for talent is too strong, and it is difficult to do.
"Yuan Rang, Dian Wei Tiger General, it's not good to be an enemy." Cao Cao seemed to be accustomed to Xiahoudun talking to him like this, and even explained.
Xiahoudun didn't have any opinions on Cao Cao, but he just fought a battle, and he didn't gain anything. Now that the king has an explanation, he has not been able to say anything. At this moment, the army of the Celestial Empire on the opposite side moved, and countless cavalry poured out of the army, as if they were about to move forward.
Cao Cao saw this, and immediately said to Cao Zhang, another general beside him: "Zhang'er, this battle is handed over to you, and you will definitely win." ”
"Father, please rest assured." General Cao Zhang, who was named by name, immediately agreed with confidence in his fists, then turned around and ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed forward to meet the approaching army of the Celestial Empire.
Cao Zhang, whose name is Ziwen, is the most capable of fighting among Cao Cao's many sons, and he is also a careerist.
From an early age, he advocated force, and in his opinion, force was the best way to solve problems.
I think so in my heart, and I have always done this, so that Cao Zhang has studied martial arts since he was a child, and finally became a famous general in the current Wei State.
Not long ago, his brother Cao Pi died in battle, and this matter was heard in Cao Zhang's ears, although he was a little sad, but more of a thief. Because all along, his goal has been to inherit the throne of his father Cao Cao. And in order to do this, he also has several inevitable rivals, such as the eldest brother Cao Ang, the second brother Cao Pi, and even the younger brother Cao Zhi.
These three are all appreciated and loved by Cao Cao, and they have also become stepping stones on Cao Zhang's way forward.
It's just these three, and the only one who really makes Cao Zhang jealous is the second brother Cao Pi, because only this one is a person who is both civil and military, and he is extremely patient, and even many times, what the second brother thinks in his heart, he can't guess.
But fortunately, Cao Pi was besieged and killed himself, which made Cao Zhang think that he was the first in Wei State, and no one could compete with him for his position. Because the eldest brother Cao Ang is too loyal and has a gentle personality, it is naturally excellent to be a son, but if he is a monarch, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress everyone. As for his younger brother Cao Zhi, he is simply a literati, and his poetry and songs are powerful, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, his ability to govern the country is too far behind.
It can be said that without Cao Pi as an opponent, Cao Zhangdu believed that the unification of Wei would inevitably be inherited by himself in the future.
That's what he thinks in his heart, and now that his father has asked him to lead the army to the battle, this naturally makes people think that this is a test, and of course he has to perform well.
After ordering 50,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Zhang, rushed out with his deputy general Le Lin, who wanted to become famous through this battle. He also believes that if this battle is fought well, he will definitely become famous, so who else will inherit the position of unification?
Cao Zhang led his troops to meet the battle, and Zhang Liao personally came with 50,000 cavalry.
Accompanying Zhang Liao was General Pang De, the deputy commander of the corps.
The reason why he brought Pang De, Zhang Liao also has his own thoughts. It is the first battle, of course, it will be won, this is also a battle that inspires the morale of the army, and it is the best time for the Seventh Legion to perform in front of the emperor.
In this way, Zhang Liao and Pang De, two tiger generals, rushed straight with the elite of the 50,000 Seven Legions.
A month and a half before the war, the legions received orders to expand their troops, and the Seventh Army Corps was no exception by bringing in 100,000 new soldiers, bringing its total strength to 300,000. This time, in order to win the first battle, he did not even use a single recruit, and the people he used were all veterans of the battlefield, and most of them were even soldiers who had fought with the Rus' country.
will be fierce and victorious, Zhang Liao naturally has great confidence in winning this battle.
"Kill!" The drums of war beat and resounded through the world!
"Kill!" Iron riding on the ground, shaking the heavens and the earth!
"Kill!" Jin Ge dances, sharp!
The 50,000 troops on each side were getting closer and closer under the earth-shattering shouts and killings, and the smoke and dust raised under the impact of 100,000 people also made this piece of heaven and earth dusty and foggy.
Under such a shocking scene, the armies of the two sides finally collided together, and when they first met, it was like two heavy bison colliding together, and at least hundreds of people were killed in battle just by taking a look.
The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!
When the generals and the brave men returned triumphantly after ten years of fighting and a hundred battles, who knows and how many people remember those who died in the course of the war?
War is brutal, and that in itself is a test of life and death. Those who survive may become heroes, but those who die will surely return to dust, dust to earth, and disappear between heaven and earth.
