Chapter 176: The Ballad of Cangwu

Previous Chapter

The stalemate battlefield is the most flesh and blood, although the wolf cavalry of the Lu Bu team attacked high blood, but after all, the number was at a great inferiority, first resisted the attack of the Cao army's 30,000 cavalry, and also escorted Xu Huang and Li Yan's second team all the way, and after the convergence with Lin Li, there was no one in ten, only a few hundred horses remained, after the song of blood and fire, the elite cavalry that the Tang army had worked so hard to form was finally no longer formed.

Fortunately, Lin Li's previous defeat of horses to seize Xiliang and destroy the grassland of Xiqiang already had a stable horse-producing land, and after the construction of the stable, the cost of rebuilding the cavalry was greatly reduced. With these hundreds of horsemen as the backbone, the attributes of the troops will inevitably be more outstanding.

After Lu Bu rested for two days, Lin Li asked him to lead the wolf back to Chang'an first, preparing to rebuild the cavalry. As an important member of the Tang Army's strategist group, Chen Gong was left by Lin Li to discuss together.

Let him stay, Lin Li is still a little little Jiujiu in his heart.

As everyone knows, the reputation of the old man as a subordinate several times is quite bad. And in this decisive battle, the Tang army almost poured out, if Wen Hou wanted to try it again, the flying generals would dance Chang'an, and it would be a big trouble to make trouble. Leaving Chen Gong, if there is one less bad idea, the probability of having a dissenting heart will be greatly reduced. And with Wang Yue here, there is no courage to turn over the flowers.

The cavalry team is gone, Lu Lingqi naturally has nowhere to play, she originally wanted to mix with the Huang Xu team to continue to fight, she could only give up in frustration after Lin Li refused many times, pouting and wandering around, and wanted to help the generals train, but she didn't know a few words, the military book was an article that she had never read, how could she understand this, after being self-defeating a few times, in the complaining eyes of Xu Huang and others, she returned to Lin Li's side in a sneer, and her good sister taught her to read and write.

...

After eating Cao Cao's cavalry, the two sides were already close in terms of troops, with more than 60,000 each. But now the Tang army is stationed at the intersection of Tiger Pass and Wancheng and Xuchang, although it is backed by Wancheng, how can it be as many and fast as Luoyang and Xuchang's reinforcements. If the war of attrition is blindly dragged on for a long time, the Tang army will still be in an unfavorable situation. Therefore, Lin Li also wants to divide the winner in a quick battle.

He encircled the plan to help, at the beginning of the great success, biting Cao Cao hard, and now he was also seen through, so he took over Zhang Xiu's team of 10,000 spearmen, and Xu Huang's team of 10,000 halberds and Li Yan's team of 10,000 archers blocked the intersection, and Gao Shun led 10,000 siege weapons, and Huang Xu's 10,000 archers and Li Jin's 10,000 spearmen attacked Xuchang, and this time it was a real attack.

Although Xun Yu has Wang Zuozhi's talent, he can not make mistakes under heavy pressure, orderly dispatch of military uniforms, military rations and other materials, and recruit recruits for training, soldiers will not let Xuchang City have civil strife under the city, and the three personal attributes of nearly 100 Zhizheng Mei have been brought into full play, which can be called "do your best, wait to listen to the destiny of heaven", even if Cao Cao is in person, it is nothing more than that.

With Xun Lingjun here, Xuchang's supplies are quite sufficient, because the Xiahou brothers were rescued, the Xuchang defenders had general training, morale was gradually restored, and the city was firmly guarded.

Fortunately, the Tang army has Huang Xu, the powerful characteristics of the bow god needless to say, the following grams, can in turn suppress Xuchang's archers, the three teams are also elite divisions, non-Xun Yu recruited recruits are comparable, although the two sides are offensive and defensive battles, the battle damage is very close. The Tang army had a double numerical advantage, and Xun Yu was recruited on the spot, and whenever the defenders suffered heavy casualties and were about to break the city, they were directly sent to resist.

But as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there are still substitutes for the dead and wounded soldiers, and the city wall of Xuchang is already crumbling under the daily impact of weapons and the ravages of rockets, and the durability has dropped extremely quickly.

In order to force Cao Cao to attack the defensive line, the letter for help from Xuchang was never blocked, so that Apo was anxious in his eyes, and he had the heart to reply to the letter to comfort the defenders of Xuchang.

...

The Tang army and Cao Cao's army were at war, and Xu Huang led the halberd soldiers to fight with Cao Ren, both of whom were good generals in the world, and they were close to each other. If you fight with the halberd soldiers, the attributes of the soldiers are also very different, but at this moment, with Zang Ba, Xu Huang is leading the more elite exclusive class Taishan Army, and the offensive and defensive attributes instantly crush Cao Ren's ordinary halberd soldiers.

Although Cao Ren also has an exclusive class, he is a cavalry, and he cannot play at the moment, and he is suppressed by Xu Huang's characteristics, so although he is trying his best to supervise the battle, he is still gradually falling behind. After leaving more than 1,000 corpses, the "celestial" general could only hate and withdraw his troops.

Xu Huang knew Lin Li's mind of a quick victory, so he was unforgiving and led the troops to pursue. When he arrived two miles away from Cao Ying, Xu Huang, who had won more than 1,000 heads, was about to withdraw and return to the camp, and thousands of halberders poured out from the woods on both sides.

The encirclement was not successful, Xu Huang was not afraid, led the troops forward, and saw the figures in the woods longing for how many soldiers and horses were hiding, and the melodious shouting and killing sound came from nowhere:

"Hugh is gone, Xu Huang!"

"Capture the enemy alive, kill!"

Suddenly a group of men and horses came out on the right side, and the first person was Cao Cao, who came out with a helmet and armor, pointed at Xu Huang with a horse whip in his hand, and laughed:

"Xu Gongming, my 100,000 soldiers and horses have been waiting here for a long time, where do you want to go?"

It was Cao Cao who used a disruptive strategy in order to encircle and annihilate Xu Huang's team.

It's a pity that as mentioned above, Xu Huang not only has the characteristics of a halberd general, but also has a calm characteristic that is immune to disturbances...

Therefore, this action was like a clumsy play in Xu Huang's eyes, and while continuing to rush and kill, he sneered:

"Humane Cao Cao is eloquent and strategic, but when I see it today, there is only such a means, no wonder the lord and General Shi can defeat his tens of thousands of troops!"

The soldiers were all happy when they heard this, and rushed out of the encirclement under Agui's suspicious gaze, and returned to the Tang army camp almost unharmed.

In the middle of the night, Xu Huang met with everyone and told everyone about the situation, and Li Jin and the others laughed together.

Lin Li knew that Cao Cao's virtual reality (a strategy for troops with intelligence lower than his own would definitely succeed) was very powerful, and secretly said that it was a fluke, if it wasn't Xu Gongming just now, but someone else, he would definitely be disturbed, and it would be difficult to escape.

Lin Li saw that the generals despised Cao Cao, so he couldn't help coughing and said:

Cao Cao, who once had the evaluation of "being a capable minister in the world, and a traitor in troubled times", now sitting in the Central Plains, must have his extraordinary, and the monarchs must not have the upper hand and underestimate him. Ziyuan (Xu Youzi) Gongtai (Chen Gongzi) The two of you and Cao Cao have known each other for a long time, what do you think. ”

Xu You nodded and said:

"What the lord said is that I grew up with Apo since childhood, and in terms of ability and resourcefulness alone, he is indeed a masterpiece of immortality. And what is commendable is that his mentality is very good, even in times of crisis, it will not be affected by the ability to make decisions, the generals still need to be more careful, and the lion fights the rabbit and still does his best. ”

Li Jin and the others saw Lin Li's solemn face and knew that it was powerful, so they quickly nodded yes.

Chen Gong groaned:

"He is talented but not virtuous, and he unjustly killed Lu Bohao's family without repentance. In my opinion, it is the world's first selfishness, character and heart are inferior, the lord to the king to ask, it is the heaven to obey the fate, the right to win. ”

Lin Li knew that he was upright, and turned back to the topic:

"In this war, Cao Cao is a mistake and all the games are lost, and now our army has occupied the advantageous territory, General Huang has a battle report, at the latest a month, Xuchang City will be able to capture. In this way, not only can Runan be obtained, but also Chen Liu's connection with Luoyang can be severed, and Cao Cao will be completely locked up in Luoyang. The eastern capital was dilapidated, although Cao Cao had to repair and relocate the people, but after all, the time was still short, and Cao Cao's army was rarely supplied. Therefore, even if our army continues to stalemate here, after completely seizing Xuchang, Chenliu, and Runan counties, and then mentioning the army advancing east and west, Luoyang is also a turtle in the urn, and the capture of Cao Cao is just around the corner. ”

Xu Youdao:

"The lord is wise, and now Wancheng is empty, so we must prevent Cao Cao from leading light troops to attack."

Lin Li nodded, although strategically speaking, the probability of Cao Cao attacking Wancheng is very low, but Wancheng has been developing for a long time, everything is thriving, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build, Lin Li doesn't want Cao Cao's brain to heat up and ruin the economic zone he has worked so hard to manage.

Lin Li Road:

"Gongming, pass the order, pay attention to strengthening the defense of the left flank of our army, and it is better to ask him Cao Mengde to appear under Xuchang City than to lose Wancheng."

Xu Huang was about to take the order to retreat, but Fa Zheng's eyes lit up and said:

"The lord is slow, there is a plan, or Cao Cao can be captured early."
