Chapter 1038 Cao Cao who was cried in the pit
- System: The Chosen One "Hong Tian" surrendered to Murong Trai with the Frozen City, and the Frozen City automatically switched to the camp of the Wolf Alliance.
Another indicative system message appeared at the time of nightfall, and this is the second player city to surrender today.
In just one day, the battle between the empire and the alien race on all fronts was not without fierceness, there were victories and losses, but in general, there were still more losses and fewer victories, after all, Yunmeng City was lost, and the impact was too serious. At this stage, as long as there is a little strength, the territory of the Chosen One Lord who has not been targeted too much in the early stage can be mentioned to the city level.
But the gap between cities is not ordinarily large! Can a fifth-class city that can be stepped on the standard line of the empire's review be compared to the original gourd city?
However, as long as it is at the city level, it is enough to serve as a temporary foothold for an alien army, or a springboard for invasion. No matter how scummy the city, there are also city walls, magic towers, and enchantments, and these are enough, as for other things such as population, commerce, industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, etc., it is just how much can be exploited.
But the success or failure of the moment does not mean anything, at least now the alien race has not been able to break through the blockade area demarcated by the empire, as long as the war has been in this area, even if it is not possible to fight head-on, but with the strong background of the Hongyu Empire, it is enough to drag the alien race to death! With more troops of the alien race, can it be more than the Hongyu Empire, which can continue to increase troops? Not to mention the gap in materials, if the blockade cannot be broken, even if the casualty ratio on the frontal battlefield can be 1 to 1, or even 1 to 2, it will not be able to change the situation of defeat in the end.
Therefore, this initial record seems to be quite ugly, but the Hongyu Empire is not in a hurry.

westward
Due to Zhao Kuangyin's backlash, the pace of the attack on Moshan City was completely delayed, and at this time, Cao Cao finally led a large team of men and materials to bypass thousands of mountains and rivers, and was about to carry out the city of Shenmu City.
On the two sides of the battle in Shenmu City, Xie Xuan and Liu Bang represented the King of Moshan on one side, and the Liu clan of Shenyu City on the other, representing the empire. As Cao Cao, who had already raised the anti-flag, he had no choice, he could only assist Xie Xuan in attacking Liu Bang! Cao Cao, who had come from afar, urgently needed a piece of territory, whether it was to recuperate or stabilize the morale of the army, if there was no more stable rear, his ambition would turn into an unrealistic daydream.
The next battle is crucial!
In the night, Cao Cao set up a temporary camp at the border of Shenmu City, in the direction of Motu City, and at the same time, once again summoned all the civil and military forces to the Shuai tent to discuss the matter.
"Is there still no response from King Moshan?" Cao Cao looked at Xiao Hexun and asked.
"No, the King of Moshan didn't show up at all, and he didn't give us any response, I'm afraid ......" Xiao He also just returned, he went to Moshan City as an envoy before, but he was closed.
"After all, just out of Xihai City, King Moshan is probably unwilling to accept foreign forces, but as long as our goals are the same, then it's not a big problem, anyway, we are not here to rely on King Moshan." Xi Zhicai took Xiao He's words and said.
"Then according to what you mean, let's go directly to Xie Xuan?" Cao Cao nodded silently, if he wanted to be attached, then why did he go out of Zhenhai City in the first place? He is indeed embarrassed now, but the troops in his hands are not weak.
"Yes! His subordinates have studied Xie Xuan, and this person can be regarded as a rare famous general in the world, and our arrival is an opportunity for him, and he will definitely not miss it. "Xi Zhicai didn't analyze in depth, none of the people sitting here are stupid, now Moshan City is being held back by Zhao Kuangyin, the support that should have been given to Xie Xuan is now gone, Xie Xuan wants to open up the situation, so he can only rely on them.
"Then it's decided, Mr. Xiao, Xie Xuan still has to go again."
"It's a matter of duty!" Xiao He got up and was ordered, after Xi Zhicai arrived, he had already given up the position of the military division of the army, and Cao Cao often had no territory, so his existence was a little embarrassing.
Cao Cao's situation in "The Prosperous Age" is really similar to Liu Bei in the romance, miserable!
"Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Wei Chi, you will be the pioneer tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
The core of Shenmu City is on the main city, and he has no intention of attacking the city, as long as he cooperates with Xie Xuan, one side sweeps the southern part of the city, and the other side sweeps the north, forcing Liu Bang who is defending the city, if Liu Bang does not go out of the city, then join forces to besiege the city, before that, he can at least get a few big towns that can be used as a foothold.
At dawn of the day, Cao's army set out as a whole army, except for a few men and horses who were left to guard the camp, and a total of 150,000 troops pressed into the southern area of Shenmu City.
The main purpose of this battle against Cao Cao is to borrow the power of Moshan City, therefore, he is not the main force, of course, it is impossible for him to rob Shenmu City with Xie Xuan after the war, but as long as he helps Xie Xuan pull out the nail of Liu Bang, his future will be smooth, and the script has already been written.
But......
When Cao Cao was occupying Huofeng Town, the largest town in the south of Shenmu City, Xu Da, a general under Liu Bang, led a large army out of Shenmu City, and directly blocked him in Maple Leaf City was a violent beating. On Cao Cao's side, in addition to the relatives and generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan, there are also Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, plus Xi Zhicai and Xiao He, the upper strength is really not weak, but there are fatal flaws in the troops.
The organization of Cao's military arms is almost the ancient version, cavalry, infantry, archers, and there are almost no legal arms, which is also directly related to the fact that he has never had a stable rear, and the legion magician he abducted from Zhenhai City has long since died, but there is no place to make up for it. His current strength is not bad, but this combination of troops is really unseemly.
And what about Xie Xuan? Xie Xuan, who was one step late, didn't even look at Cao Cao, who was being beaten, and led the troops straight to Shenmu City! Xu Da didn't have the slightest intention of returning to the army to save the city.
Idiot! Blind!
The furious Cao Cao kept scolding in his heart, but Xie Xuan was obviously not a fool or a blind man, at this moment, whether it was Cao Cao, Xiao He and Xi Zhicai, they all understood.
I've been pitted!
Mo Tucheng and the Liu family are completely acting for the world to see! deceived everyone in the world, Cao Cao can't be sure now, Liu Bang represents just an individual, or the entire Liu family, he and Moshan City fought to the death on the surface, but secretly colluded together and conspired for interests, isn't this a copy of when he was in Baoyue City and Hulu City!
It's just that the performance between him and Hulucheng is too fake, and he is reluctant to pay the cost, as long as he is not blind, he can see the greasy in it by looking at it twice, Xie Xuan and Liu Bang acted really well, and the result was that he was directly pitted in. He is the opportunity that both sides are waiting for, as soon as he appears, it is equivalent to giving Liu Bang his military exploits, and then Liu Bang swaggered to "give" the main city of Shenmu City to Xie Xuan, this is a proper win-win situation, both sides will gain fame and fortune!
As for Cao Cao? He's a Grey Cannon!
At this time, if someone interviews Cao Cao, he probably just wants to say: MMP!
