Chapter 1173 Dangxian lost and returned to Junyong
Cao Jun's posture today is a little different, although Cao Jun will attack the Dangxian city wall every day, but often just set up a position to attack with expeditionary troops for a while, the infantry assemble and move like a drill, and then beat the drum for a while and withdraw back to the camp to eat, but today is different, Cao Jun set up a position in the east and south of Dangxian County, the number of long-range troops is several times that of usual, and the boulders and giant crossbows that cover the sky and the sun fly towards the city, like splashing water.
Subsequently, in the dense sound of war drums, the infantry corps of the Cao army lined up in a neat phalanx, and began to advance with two thousand units, followed by large equipment such as wells, siege vehicles and siege ladders.
"Order the Ninth Trebuchet Squad to reload the tanks! Order the 10th Trebuchet Squad to reload with fireballs, target large enemy equipment, and attack freely after a volley1
"No1
"Order the Inhuman forces to prepare a salvo of skill 1
"No1
"The detachment of the heavy crossbow unit is under command, and is responsible for the division according to the predetermined area1
Pang Yuan's orders were passed down like flowing water, and the war machine composed of the defenders and players of Dangxian County began to run at full power, with boulders flying in and out of the city, arrows like locusts, shouting and killing in the city, blood splashing, and the explosive flashes of skills, and the burning large equipment emitted a strong light under the very gloomy sky covered by flying objects.
This is the battlefield of flesh and blood!
"Pay attention to the blood return! The one with little blood returns 1
"Don't be stingy with the paper charms, throw them all down1
"Stay in formation. Don't drop the bonus 1
The Inhumans at the head of the city are all experienced players, and they know that the most important thing on the battlefield is discipline, and with discipline comes a battle formation. With a battle array, there is a guarantee of victory.
However, the players under the city are not bad, they are organized in the battle formation of the Cao army, and they are placed in the infantry corps in the form of a squad and a squad, and they can also rely on the formation to exert their strong combat effectiveness and toughness, especially the ability to deliver damage.
"My lord, outside the western city wall, Cao's army is assembling 1
"Oh. It seems that Cao Cao is determined that the general will not appear. ”
The corners of Pang Yuan's mouth curled slightly, this is not difficult, as long as the task is distributed. With a sufficient number of players distributed around the battlefield, it would be very difficult for Lu Bu to raid, not to mention that now that Lu Bu was really not around Dangxian, Cao Cao seized this opportunity. I want to go all out. Capture Dangxian in one fell swoop.
Looking at the endless enemy troops under the city lined up in neat ranks, surging up like a tide, Pang Yuan also had to admire Cao Cao's decisiveness, it is not impossible to want Dangxian, but it is necessary to pay a price!
"Command all the troops to counterattack with all their might, except for the cavalry. All troops are engaged in defensive battles, and do not be stingy with supplies. Throw all weapons and paper charms at the enemy in the shortest amount of time1
"No1
Cao Cao was in the command vehicle in the rear formation, and this command vehicle transformed with a well fence was high enough to control the overall situation.
"My lord, the enemy's counterattack is very strong"
Cao Cao shook his head: "Well, it is estimated that even the reserve team has been used, which shows that Pang Yuan already has a plan to give up Dangxian, but he just wants to kill and injure our army as much as possible1."
"In that case"
"Command the front army, pay attention to the rotation of front-line troops, the Chinese army will advance to the range as soon as possible, give the front army maximum support, and in addition, give priority to supplementing the Inhumans on the first line1
"No1
"Lord, will this cause a backlash from the Inhumans1
"How could it be, this is their own request, attacking Dangxian, and the Inhumans are more active than us1
Cao Cao said with a smile, but there was a cold glint in his eyes, Xi Zhicai tightened the fur on his body, squinted his eyes and looked at the battlefield with thick smoke, the wind direction was northwest, the smoke was blown over, and it smelled very pungent, Xi Zhicai couldn't help coughing loudly.
"Zhicai, you go down first, be careful 1
"Ahem, it's okay, it's just choking on smoke."
At the head of the city, Pang Yuan could see Cao Cao's command vehicle from a distance, but unfortunately there was no skill that could attack such a distance, otherwise it would be the most refreshing to come there.
"My lord, the scouts in the northwest of the city have reported that everything is normal, and there are fights with the enemy scouts, and both sides have been damaged."
"Very good, understood, let them continue to investigate, don't slack off"
"No1
Zhang Xun on the side frowned, hesitated for a while and then asked: "My lord, why do you want to pay attention to the northwest direction, is our army planning to evacuate Dangxian?" ”
"Hehe, even if you don't evacuate, it's necessary to leave a way back1
"With Cao's current offensive, if we blindly defend passively, I'm afraid it won't last long."
"That's right, so it's all the more to leave the way back.1
"But why didn't Cao Cao arrange cavalry here in advance?"
"If that were the case, would you still choose to evacuate?"
Zhang Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "The last general understands, Cao Cao wants Dangxian and would rather let us go1."
"No, he can still pursue behind, if the passage for our army to evacuate is blocked, Dangxian will become a place of death, this is not cost-effective for Cao Cao, and our army is the same, now is not the best time to fight to the death with Cao's army."
Zhang Xun nodded convincingly, and stopped talking.
The battle has been going on so fiercely, Cao Cao's troops are relatively abundant, the troops on the front line have the strong support of the players, and the combat effectiveness is maintained quite well, and from the perspective of troop attributes, Cao Cao's troop bonus is obviously a grade higher than Pang Yuan's, which completely offsets the city attack and defense bonus brought by Pang Yuan's defense of the city, and the battle loss ratio of the two sides makes Pang Yuan very dissatisfied, but this is no wonder others, who makes Pang Yuan's own force and commander not enough, Zhang Xun is obviously not Cao Cao's opponent.
By evening, the casualties of the Dangxian defenders had exceeded 30,000, and the losses of Cao's army were probably equal, perhaps less, and worse, there were no reserves in the city to rotate. The energy and physical strength of the defenders are almost at the limit, but the Cao army under the city is still easily rotating, maintaining high combat effectiveness and morale.
Keep fighting. The losses of the defenders will be further magnified, Pang Yuan sighed slightly when he saw this, and had to admit that he was not Cao Cao's opponent when he put a single order.
"The order was given to the long-range troops to concentrate their attack on a distance of three hundred paces, and to fire a rapid fire, and the defenders of the city withdrew from the battle in order, and the cavalry went out of the north gate. Positions were taken on both sides of the road, with the defenders of the southern city retreating first, followed by the eastern and western cities1
"No1
"They were about to retreat.1 Cao Cao looked at the enemy troops who had suddenly changed their target. frowned, and said with a little excitement.
"That Zidan can attack 1
"That's right, Ling Zidan bypassed Xicheng and pursued the enemy. But don't be greedy. Beware of enemy ambushes and counterattacks1
"No1
The herald picked up a horn, and the whining of the horn echoed across the battlefield in the twilight, and the cavalry, which had been in the flanks and behind, moved, and the rumbling hooves were like thunder, and the earth trembled.
"The carriages were on either side, heavy crossbows were prepared, and the cavalry spread out to the perimeter, allowing the enemy to rush in1
Saw Cao Cao's heavy cavalry appear. Pang Yuan's cavalry actually took the initiative to get out of the way.
Cao Zhen's troops saw the enemy cavalry get out of the way, revealing the wagons and infantry on the road. After a little hesitation, he gave the order to attack!
"Heavy crossbow salvo! Put 1
Cao Zhen, who charged, was surprised to find that after the carriages lifted the tarpaulin, they revealed a huge crossbow inside, and in a continuous loud noise, the thick arrows shot over the tiger and leopard cavalry in front of the charge, and it was very difficult for these heavy cavalry to change direction, and now the war horse in front of them fell, and suddenly implicated. Immediately after that, the various skill paper talismans of the enemy on the opposite side were thrown over, and the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry was suddenly interrupted, and the advantage of the heavy cavalry was gone.
Then, the enemy's heavy crossbow was thrown, bypassing the heavy cavalry in front and blasting at the light cavalry that was closely behind, and the light cavalry, which was spreading out on both sides, was suddenly overturned by the shot.
At this time, the enemy cavalry that had just made way of the road also rushed in from both sides, wanting to cut Cao Zhen's formation, Cao Zhen saw this and immediately ordered to turn, turned a corner in the direction of the enemy's carriage formation, rushed away from the enemy army who were attacking from the side, and broke away from the battle
Packing up his troops, the young Cao Zhen couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, it was really dangerous just now, and he thought that he could beat the water dogs, and he was almost beaten by others by accident, and the heavy cavalry is not an invincible existence, and the infantry can easily restrain the heavy cavalry by being caught by others.
Pang Yuan's retreat was orderly, one by one the troops withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner, and the fierce Cao army that pursued behind would be reflexively bitten to death by Pang Yuan, after suffering several losses, those brave aliens were honest, and could only force Pang Yuan out of Dangxian step by step according to Cao Cao's command, and then dismantle all kinds of traps and ignitions in the streets and alleys of Dangxian, and when they were busy, the sky was almost bright, and Pang Yuan's troops had already run away.
Cao Cao repaired a little, then set off with the elite troops, and after converging with Cao Zhen, followed behind Pang Yuan's troops, cautiously chased all the way to Yongyang, and then built a camp under Yongyang City, preparing to attack Yongyang.
Dangxian was lost in one day, although it was very unexpected by everyone, but during the period, Lu Bu's troops did not participate in the battle at all, which also gave a reasonable explanation for the defeat of Dangxian, besides, everyone was not optimistic about Pang Yuan and Cao Cao's release, and now the result is reasonable.
Dangxian was lost, Xiayi became an isolated city and could not be held at all, Pang Yuan had already ordered the Xiayi defenders to retreat, and Xiayi and Fengguo also lost the cover of their flanks, and the pressure on the flanks also increased, but. Cao Cao's eyes are now staring at Yongyang, Yongyang's strategic position is too important now, and Cao Cao will not give up on it.
Therefore, after capturing Dangxian, Cao Cao immediately used Dangxian as a support point, increased troops to the Yongyang battalion, and began to prepare for the Yongyang War, so where did Lu Bu, who disappeared from the battlefield in Dangxian, go?
Cao Cao was actually a little apprehensive, although he had long been mentally prepared for the exchange, but it was not until the news was implemented that Cao Cao finally let go of the boulder hanging high in his heart. To be continued...
