171. Sneak attack succeeded
Then more officials were promoted to three levels, and it became a dream!
Despite this, the defenders of the new city died one after another, and there were fewer and fewer people, and finally all of them died in battle!
The new city finally fell, Cao Cao was overjoyed, occupied the new city, and finally opened the door to attack Changshan County!
Tapping the number of people, the 100,000-strong army actually lost more than 10,000 people, which made Cao Cao's heart tremble for a while.
How could it be possible that the 3,000 defenders of Xincheng actually killed more than 10,000 of them?
"Report, Prime Minister, this is the weapon of the defenders of the new city!"
Zhang He presented a pair of giant broken crossbows to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao immediately remembered the terrible gun barrel before, where is the barrel of the gun, it is clearly an enlarged version of the arrow!
"That's what killed 10,000 of my soldiers?"
Cao Cao's soul is about to fly, but he can still accept it if he can take the new city.
Ordered all the military horses to assemble in Guandu and converge to the new city, and he swept the ordinary mountain county in one fell swoop!
At the same time, he put down his position and waited for Lu Bu to throw himself into the net.
Without waiting for the military order to come out, the bad news fell into Cao Cao's ears first.
Syllable!
The teacup in Cao Cao's hand was shattered, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What, Guandu was attacked by Lu Bu, and all the grain and grass were obtained by him, how is it possible?"
Cao Cao couldn't believe that this was true anyway, and a thunderbolt from the sky split Cao Cao.
Guandu is lost, and all the baggage that can be attacked and retreated has been lost, even if all the military horses have arrived, there is no food and grass baggage, and they must starve to death?
Burst!
Cao Cao's heart was hot, and a mouthful of old blood spit out: "Zhao Yun, you are so despicable!"
As soon as Cao Cao vomited blood, the generals were so frightened that they were at a loss, but although Cao Cao vomited blood, he just didn't fall down, and made a strong decision: "It is dangerous for Guandu to lose Xuchang, and I will also suffer from the enemy when I occupy the new city." Exit the new city and return to Xuchang! ”
Cao Cao's army retreated to Xuchang, and soon Zhao Yun's younger brother Zhao Feng garrisoned the new city with 10,000 iron cavalry, repairing the city walls and pacifying the people.
Although all the 3,000 defenders of Xincheng were killed, they inflicted heavy losses on Cao Cao, giving Lu Bu enough time to capture Guandu.
Cao Cao's attack in the west was unfavorable, and Sun Quan in the east was also attacked by Zhao Yun's land and water army, especially the naval army, which not only attacked along the Yangtze River, but also carried out a landing operation on Sun Quan's rear in the eastern sea, killing Sun Quan to the point of death.
Jun Zhizhi personally commanded 30,000 marines to land, captured three cities in a row with lightning speed, and firmly stood on his feet. When Zhou Yu realized that something was wrong, he sent troops to fight back, but found that it was too late.
"What, it's Zhao Yun's men and horses from Changshan County, didn't I ask you to build coastal towns a long time ago to prevent a sneak attack by the sailors of Changshan County?"
Zhou Yu was furious, so frightened that his subordinates were urinating, Zhou Yu knew that it was not his people who did not do it, but that the attack of the sailors of Changshan County was too brave and fast, and there were already spies in the city who opened the city gates, so they lost the city.
"Damn!"
Zhou Yu pounded the table hard. Huang Gai stood aside and said, "Governor, the only way to do this now is to divide your forces to resist the enemy and prevent it from continuing to infiltrate into the interior. Otherwise, Jiangdong is in danger? ”
Zhou Yu shouted loudly and ordered the general Gan Ning to lead 50,000 elites to the rear to garrison, and recapture the lost city if he had the opportunity. Gan Ning took the order and left!
"Report! Qi Yu Metropolitan Governor, Cao Cao on the Western Front suffered a heavy blow from Zhao Yun of Changshan County, lost an important pass Guandu, and now has shrunk to Xuchang, and does not dare to be an enemy of Zhao Yun! ”
The scout suddenly came to report, and the angry Zhou Yu saw a gold star in front of his eyes.
"Hasn't Cao Cao always been arrogant, how can he shrink back in a battle, what a coward!"
"Isn't there any news from Liu Bei in Shuzhong?"
Zhou Yu hoped that Liu Bei would see the situation clearly and attack Zhao Yun together.
The scout shook his head, "I don't know." There is no movement in Shuzhong! ”
This was originally bad news, but Zhou Yu didn't get angry when he heard it.
Huang Gai was puzzled when he saw this, and asked, "Metropolitan Governor, Liu Bei has no movement, why are you laughing?"
Zhou Yu was in a good mood and continued to smile: "Although I only have a one-sided relationship with Zhuge Villager, I know him very well. This person is extremely cautious in the use of troops, and the more fanfare he has, the more he will be fine. Once he dies down and doesn't move, it means that he has already acted, and it can't be said that he is already secretly attacking Jingzhou! ”
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei coveted Jingzhou, it has long been no secret, if you want to go straight to the Central Plains in Shuzhong and restore the foundation of the Han Dynasty, the first thing Liu Bei wants to get is Jingzhou!
Now, Cao Cao's army is defeated, and Liu Bei happens to sneak attack Cao Cao to occupy the territory of Jingzhou. It seems that taking advantage of the fire to rob, Zhao Yun may be confused and relax his vigilance.
Zhuge Liang is waiting for this moment, attacking in one fell swoop, swallowing part of the Jingzhou territory occupied by Zhao Yun together, completely occupying the entire Jingzhou, and achieving the strategic goal of attacking, retreating, and defending!
Zhou Yu's analysis was the head, and the more Huang Gai listened, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed.
"Isn't the lord afraid that Liu Bei will counterattack my Jiangdong?"
Huang Gai was still worried in the end, Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "The lord is not only not worried, but he is very willing to see Liu Bei and Zhao Yun fighting, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
