Chapter 140: Cao Cao's Conspiracy
I don't know how long it took for the figure of the black dragon of the black halberd guard to become more and more blurred, until it completely dissipated, and the bronze ancient gate had been closed until it disappeared, at this moment there were still more than a hundred giant beasts on the city wall fighting against the black halberd guard, this is the most powerful force, even the black halberd guard is not an opponent in a one-on-one situation, but relatively speaking, the number of black halberd guards has an absolute advantage, and it is only a matter of time before these giant beasts are killed.
It's just that everyone knows that after this battle, the strength of the Black Halberd Guard will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to recover to its peak state in a short time, and the military god Black Dragon will not be able to summon it for a long time.
About half an hour later, all the giant beasts were all killed, and the loss of the Black Halberd Guards was also huge, with 500 people killed in the battle, and a tenth of the loss at once, this is the price, the inevitable price.
It will be late, both sides will return to the camp to rest, today the official army can be said to have suffered heavy losses, as the mainstay of the black halberd guards not only greatly reduced combat power, but also lost 500 people, on the other hand, Zhang Jiao's side, although the loss of soldiers and horses is more, but most of them are ordinary soldiers, as the elite Yellow Turban wrestlers There are 4,000 people, compared with each other, now Zhang Jiao has the advantage, mainly his siege equipment is more and more, even if you don't use soldiers to attack the city, you can use catapults and ballistas to bombard, how long can the walls of Guangnian City last? Lu Zhi and Huang Fu Song's materials for defending the city are getting less and less, and the form is still not optimistic for Lu Zhi and Huang Fu Song.
It's just a soldier and horse that they didn't expect to play a key role in this battle.
Cao Cao is an extremely good at planning people, especially good at cutting off the enemy's grain route, this is the case in history, every time there is a war, he tries his best to cut off the other party's grain route, he himself can easily win, but Lin Sen also learned to be willing to fight like this, Lin Sen has experienced several big battles.
What is the effect of such two people combined? Could it be a nightmare for the enemy? Everything went on in the dark.
After discussion, the two decided not to go to Guangnian City, they together only more than 800,000 soldiers and horses, for the war did not help much, especially the city defense war, both of them saw a place, that is, Guangping City, located in the nearest city behind the camp of Zhang Jiao, from all over Jizhou ordnance, grain and grass, the supply of soldiers are transferred by this city, it can be said that Guangping City is Zhang Jiao's throat, once strangled, Zhang Jiao has no stronghold, there is no way back, the backup is also cut off, then Zhang Jiao will be defeated, The siege of Guangnian was immediately resolved.
After the two discussed, they decided to attack Guangping City at night, Lin Sen and Cao Cao quietly led the army to pull out the camp and leave, slowly approaching Guangping City, this battle only used the most elite soldiers, and the remaining army only waited for the city to break through and encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army in the city.
Guangping City is dark at the moment, there are no soldiers to defend the city, it seems that these Yellow Turban Army are used to being comfortable, and no one would have thought that there would be a force of soldiers and horses in the hinterland of the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city.
Seeing that the city was completely defenseless, everyone was very happy, Lin Sen ordered Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to quietly climb the city wall, and then open the city gate and put down the drawbridge, which was not a problem for them, and they didn't need to use auxiliary tools at all, just by virtue of their own strength, they all boarded the city wall.
"Squeak", the city gate was opened, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, the army immediately raised fire, the cavalry in front of the infantry behind, shouting and killing into the city, the defenders of the city were still asleep, how could they have thought that the enemy had already attacked the city.
Zhao Yun and Chu Yan directly led the cavalry to the county commander's mansion, broke in and successfully killed all the Yellow Turban generals, and broke off the command system of the Yellow Turban Army at once, Chen Zhi, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led all the infantry to look for the Yellow Turban soldiers everywhere, and for a time there was a street battle, and Zhao Yun and Chu Yan led the cavalry to support later.
In short, everything went very smoothly, and within two hours, Lin Sen and Cao Cao completely occupied Guangping City, and the soldiers were hardly damaged, and then Cao Cao immediately wrote a handwritten letter to the Sentinel, asking him to go to Guangnian City immediately to report to Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song.
This battle not only cut off Zhang Jiao's backup supply, but also obtained a large amount of supplies, including siege equipment that was being manufactured, as well as a large amount of food, Lin Sen and Cao Cao both laughed after seeing it, they seemed to have seen Zhang Jiao's future.
"What? Quang Binh City lost? ”
"What? Guangping City was occupied by Cao Mengde and Lin Sen? ”
Zhang Jiao and Lu Zhi received this news almost at the same time, and the expressions shown by the two were completely different, Zhang Jiao was stunned in place, while Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song almost jumped up with joy, they both knew the importance of Guangping City.
"Yes, General Lu, General Huangfu, this is my personal letter from General Cao, we captured Guangping City at night and cut off Zhang Jiao's support, my General Cao said that the two generals must hold on for two days, and Zhang Jiao will be defeated after two days."
The two opened the letter: "Sure enough, it's Cao Mengde's handwriting, it seems that Guangping City is really occupied by them, it's really good." Lu Zhi looked up at the sentry and said, "You go back immediately and tell Cao Mengde, just say that we will definitely hold on, please rest assured, and you also tell him that you must guard against Zhang Jiaogou jumping off the wall and attacking Guangping." ”
The sentry bowed and said, "The villain obeys, and the villain will go back to tell my general and take his leave!" ”
After the two sent off the sentry horse, they discussed eagerly, at this time there was a hope of victory, the two rekindled their fighting spirit, and after some discussion, they had to let the black halberd guards fight, although the strength of these black halberd guards was greatly damaged, but without them, they could not block the attack of the yellow turban wrestlers.
After that, the two came to the military camp of the Black Halberd Guards together, found the commander of the Black Halberd Guards, and said: "Commander Liu, I just received a military report from Cao Mengde that Guangping City has been occupied by him, so Zhang Jiao will be cut off from backup, I believe that within two days, Zhang Jiao will be defeated, but if the Yellow Turban Army frantically attacks Guangnian City, we alone will not be able to resist at all, I know that the Black Halberd Guards have suffered serious losses in the first battle today, and their strength has also declined, but we still have to rely on the combat power of your Black Halberd Guards to defend the city, I wonder if the Black Halberd Praetorian Guard will still be able to fight tomorrow? ”
Commander Liu of the Black Halberd Praetorian Guard thought about it, originally he decided to let the Praetorian Guard rest for a while, the battle during the day did make them consume too much, and they couldn't recover without a few days of rest, but in the face of such a good winning fighter in front of him, he had to be moved, so he said: "Okay! Tomorrow we will be in battle with the Black Halberd Guards, but the general will have to arrange some shield soldiers and axe men to assist us, so that we can be foolproof. ”
"Commander Liu, don't worry, I will definitely arrange enough people to assist you, in fact, Commander Liu, you don't have to think too much, with the combat effectiveness shown by the Black Halberd Guards today, even if you are just standing on the city wall tomorrow, it will be a deterrent to Zhang Jiao's army."
After discussing everything, he was ready to rest, Huangfu Song was a famous general, but he was born at the wrong time, buried by history, he immediately thought that Zhang Jiao might attack at night, and immediately said to Lu Zhi listen, this is a critical time, there can be no omission, Lu Zhi also agreed with this point of view, immediately armed, and a large number of sentry spies were densely packed outside the city.
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were busy on their side, but Zhang Jiao's side was full of grievances, and the atmosphere in the camp was cold and terrifying.
"What about the eldest brother, we have no backup supply, and the army rations will be gone in less than two days, and then it will be over."
Zhang Bao said eagerly, he is the former governor of the army, he is most familiar with all this, how can Zhang Jiao not know, he has tens of millions of people, and consumes countless grains every day, even if they go out to grab now, how can they grab so much food, it can be said that they have fallen into a desperate situation at the moment, there are only two ways, either capture Guangnian City or Guangping City, or quickly retreat back to Guangzong City.
In the end, Zhang Jiao decided to attack tomorrow for a day, he believed that the Black Halberd Guards were no longer able to fight, his Yellow Turban Wrestlers would definitely be able to capture the city, and the Yellow Turban Warlocks would also assist in the project, although their skills had not fully recovered, but it was still no problem to cast some intermediate and high-level Dao techniques.
"Have you heard? Lin Sen and Cao Cao had already captured the city of Guangping. ”
"Yes, yes, I've heard about it, you said how this Lin Sen got mixed up with Cao Cao, it's disgusting!"
"Why don't we go quietly, I feel like Zhang Jiao won't live long, he won't really die of illness like in history, and now Lin Sen and Cao Cao have cut off our backup supplies, I feel like we will definitely lose!"
"You're right, let's go quietly, anyway, the benefits of this time break are enough, there is no need to die with Zhang Jiao, I don't care about you, but I'm leaving!"
The Yellow Turban players were in chaos first, how did they feel that they seemed to be moving in the direction of history again, Guangnian was defeated, Guangping was lost, and they could only retreat to Guangzong. At this time, there are those who want to run, and there are those who want to resist the Lord, and they are bent on changing history, and everyone is thinking about their own interests......
