Chapter 1179: The hole cards are out
Long Society.
Cao Ang had just made a round around the city wall, and returned to the city gate tower in the north of the city, looking at the overwhelming enemy camp in front of him.
As Cao Cao's eldest son, his innate qualifications are not bad, so he has naturally been cultivated by Cao Cao, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the God Refining Realm.
After the three-way fiasco of the alliance of the wealthy clans, Cao Cao was already very disappointed in those coalition soldiers who were strong and capable.
Therefore, Cao Ang, who was outstandingly talented, was entrusted with the important task of serving as the chief general of the Changshe Theater, and Cheng Yu served as the military advisor.
The LΓΌ Bu Group Army, which was responsible for attacking Changshe, received an order from the lord to drive south from Xinzheng City under the command of Jia Xu after winning the previous battle.
In just seven days, they arrived at the foot of Changshe City.
Now, looking at the continuous camps outside the city, Cao Ang's brows were deeply locked, and his heart felt like he was pressing a boulder, and he felt a little out of breath.
"The eldest son!"
Cheng Yu's eyes flashed coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly, he used his magic power to look at the qi, checked the enemy situation outside the city, and said to Cao Ang, "In the battle a few days ago, we all misestimated Wang Qiang, and also overestimated the combat power of the alliance army. β
He is the representative of Tianjiao of the wealthy family, and his status is similar to Guo Tu in Yuan Shaojun's army, and he is most trusted by Cao Cao.
Yes, Cheng Yu's status in Cao Cao's heart is not even comparable to Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, and he is an irreplaceable right-hand man.
Like Xun Yu, he cultivated an extremely rare Qi Hope Technique, and was able to check some different enemy situations, "According to my observation, the morale of Lu Bu's army is like a rainbow, and it is at its peak, so you can't rush out of the city to face the battle." β
"For the sake of today's plan, let's stick to the long company."
"When they can't attack for a long time and their morale drops greatly, it's time to counterattack."
Having said that, Cheng Yu knew very well that Lu Bu's army, which had taken out a lot of combat power, was not something that his family could compete with head-on now.
In the past few months, the reason why their side was able to fight on a par with the Ma Chao Legion was entirely because of the advantage of troops, and it was only when the Ma Chao Legion only defended and did not attack.
After Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Ma Teng arrived in Xinzheng and joined Ma Chao, they made an all-round effort, and the army of the wealthy clan alliance that rushed forward was crushed in a battle, and tens of millions of soldiers were killed in ninety percent, making their own side completely defeated.
In this kind of battle situation, the decisive battle of the three-way army ended similarly, which can be described as a total fiasco.
Fortunately, Cao Cao gave an urgent order, and the army of the three-way headquarters withdrew to the western and northern border towns of Yingchuan County at full speed to hold on, so as to stabilize the position in time and not cause the battle situation to collapse.
However, the loss of nearly 200 million troops of the alliance of wealthy families shocked the world, and also caused Cao Cao's forces, which were fundamentally supported by wealthy families, to suffer a devastating blow, and in a short period of time, the war potential was infinitely reduced.
To put it bluntly, once Yingchuan County and Chenliu County are lost and captured by Wang Qiang's three-way army, Cao Cao can announce his early retirement and end this battle for the world.
Therefore, whether or not he can stabilize the defense line and fight hard to hold these two counties has become a matter of life and death on Cao Cao's side, and no matter what, he cannot be defeated again and again.
Under Cheng Yu's observation of the Great Perfection Stage's Qi Hope Technique just now, the morale of the Lu Bu Group Army outside the city was like a rainbow, and there were even four elephant divine beast army spirits roaring in the sky above the barracks, which made people tremble.
Since Cao Cao handed over the command of the Changshe Legion to Cao Ang and Cheng Yu, it was naturally a heavy trust, and they felt pressure, like Mount Tai pressing on the top.
Cao Ang and Cheng Yu both knew that once Changshe, Yangcheng and other places were lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Strategist, depending on the situation, Lu Bu will order the siege of the city today, and there will be no delay."
Cao Ang felt a lot of pressure, and said to Cheng Yu solemnly, "In the previous decisive battle, we fell for their tricks, and the superior forces have been lost, and the losses caused are too great. β
"Now, without the support of the army of the Wealthy Clan Alliance, the number of soldiers in Changshe City is less than 20 million, of which only 6 million are elites."
"And the elite of Lu Bu's army, there are a total of six million people in the four main battle legions, and nearly 20 million people in the garrison legion, and the offensive and defensive forces of the enemy and us are changing, and the pressure is all on our side."
"Especially their four-star supreme magic weapon array flags, which are extremely numerous, have formed a crushing trend against us."
Cao Ang said with some concern, "We are now trapped in the lonely city, even if the current teleportation array has not been blocked and the communication is normal, there will not be many reinforcements to come to support." β
"What if...... I said that if Lu Bu took advantage of the concern that we didn't dare to go out of the city to launch a frontal army, so he repeated the trick and used the four-star best chain array to firmly besiege Changshe City, and it was very likely that we would not be able to hold it. β
For the advantage of Wang Qiang's forces, the demise of the princes of Yuan Shao is enough to prove it.
Cao Ang's current worries are also derived from this.
"Eldest son, don't worry about this."
Cheng Yu smiled indifferently and said, "Divine Monarch Xun Shu has quietly come with the bloodline inheritance clan treasure to counter this advantage of Lu Bu's army. β
"In the past hundred years of the Xun family, the clan fortune broke out, and they accidentally obtained a super strong inheritance spirit treasure, and it is the finale treasure of the formation class."
"Yingchuan County is where the Xun family's lair is, and the last thing they want to lose is the local wealthy family led by the Xun family and the Guo family."
"Not only here, but the other two armies are also finalized by the bloodline inheritance clan treasure of the Hedong Wei family and the Yingchuan Guo family respectively, which is enough to resist the enemy's attempt to break the formation."
He was still worried about this yesterday like Cao Ang.
But today, a quarter of an hour ago, the lord Cao Cao sent a message to inform him of the good news.
The Hedong Wei family, who was evacuated urgently and came to Yingchuan County, has a bloodline inheritance family treasure of the formation type, which is clear to some large families, but the Xun family and the Guo family in Yingchuan County also have it, which is very unexpected.
According to rumors, the inheritance of these two families is extremely hidden, and only the ancestors of the two families know it.
Now Wang Qiang's army is driving straight in, and it is only exposed as a last resort.
How precious are the spiritual treasures of the formation type?
There are a few pieces in a row, which is really frightening.
Today's three-way army has hole cards in hand, so Wang Qiang wants to repeat his old tricks, which is wishful thinking.
According to Cheng Yu's estimation, as long as his side fully adopts gestures, it can intercept Wang Qiang's three-way army at the west and northern borders of Yingchuan County.
"That's great!"
This sudden good news made Cao Ang breathe a deep sigh of relief, "As long as we block this round of Wang Qiang's offensive and let us recover, at most a few years later, Wang Qiang's early dividends will be exhausted, and the advantage will inevitably be greatly reduced in the future!" β
He knew very well that the advantages of the world's wealthy families in terms of money, food, and materials could not be defeated at once.
Although the private soldiers of the alliance of wealthy families in the world have suffered heavy losses, it will not be possible to recover their manpower with the help of a strong foundation in a few years.
The wealthy families of the world who have learned this painful lesson will inevitably keep pace with the times and vigorously cultivate a strong army.
War is the best way to train troops.
After eating a trench and growing wise, after suffering a big loss this time, it is impossible for those extremely shrewd wealthy families to continue to make arrogant mistakes.
As long as Wang Qiang's forces are kept out in the past few years, the wealthy family who does not lack money and food support at all will inevitably usher in a new round of rebirth!
I have to say that Cao Ang's abacus played well and logically.
The premise is: Cao Cao can block Wang Qiang's all-out attack this time.
It's just that Wang Qiang can be kept out of Yingchuan County and Chenliu County?
β¦β¦
"Strategist, I'm sorry for you."
Outside the city of Changshe, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu and Jia Xu and others discussed the siege plan, and after Lu Bu got up and said solemnly to Jia Xu.
"Hehe......"
Jia Xu smiled indifferently and said, "The old man has not played it seriously since he received the best acquired merit spirit treasure from the lord, and the current battle situation is just right." β
"Although you don't ask, it is impossible for those wealthy families with deep heritage to have no hole cards. But no matter how many and big their hole cards are, can they still surpass us? β
"The lord is personally responsible for attacking Yangcheng, so naturally needless to say, he will definitely be able to fight down."
"On the other hand, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's army, which is responsible for attacking Yang Zhai, also have two master mothers to support, and they are responsible for breaking the city."
"Cao Cao and those wealthy clans are in alliance, what can they use to resist?"
"But ......"
Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, for the sake of insurance, the two of us need to join forces to break the formation this time." β
"Your set of natal spirit treasures is much stronger than the old man's natal spirit treasures."
As the number two person in the army, Jia Xu is one of the very few people who knows Lu Bu's set of natal spiritual treasures.
The set of thirty-six Dinghai Divine Beads that was completed by the lord was definitely one of the innate spirit treasures with the strongest attack power.
Just in terms of attack power, it is estimated that it will be above all the natal spirit treasures of the lord!
As long as he uses the Hundred Ghosts Night Movement Diagram to set up a large array, Lu Bu uses the Natal Spirit Treasure to suppress the array, and the two of them together urge the large array that is amplified by the Natal Spirit Treasure, except for the lord, there are almost no opponents in this world!
Cao Cao, who has become the end of the crossbow, and the alliance of the wealthy families can be stopped!
"That's as it should be!"
Lu Bu looked relaxed and said approvingly, "Strategist, if you don't say it, I think the same way." β
He looked coldly at the faintly visible Changshe City outside the account, "Our army is the largest number of main legions, of course, we must break the formation first, so as not to be laughed at by the soldiers of the other two armies!" β
There is no doubt that Lu Bu's arrogance is still the same, but he will not act impulsively, and he has become a qualified commander, without the recklessness of previous years.
This is also the reason why Wang Qiang is relieved to let him serve as the commander of the army all the way.
"Tai Shici, Ma Chao, Ma Teng, Gao Shun!"
Lu Bu Zhengse shouted, "I will personally go with the military advisor to break the formation, and the command of the whole army will be temporarily handed over to Gao Shun, so we must act according to the plan we have discussed!" β
"Let's go and prepare for the attack of the whole army first, two hours later, after the protective array of Changshe City is broken, the whole army will be pressed immediately, and the battle will be successful!"
"Whoever neglects military discipline will be punished by military law! Never be spared! β
The current son-in-law and lord Wang Qiang is already the most powerful prince in the world, occupying more than half of the territory of Kyushu in China.
There are about 700 billion soldiers and civilians, which is very scary to say, and it is necessary to have sufficient rules and laws to be able to operate normally.
Therefore, the law is not merciful, but it is not just casual talk.
Once the military regulations are violated, no one can afford the consequences.
"I'll do it!" β¦β¦
Tai Shici, Ma Chao, Ma Teng, Gao Shun and others solemnly received the order, and then left to start dispatching troops and waiting for the battle.
They all know the terrible things about Jia Xu and Lu Bu today, even if those wealthy families have a lot of hole cards, they can't stop the strong attack of their own 20 million elite army.
In the past, Cao Cao's side was on the defensive, and the two sides fought back and forth, but that was because their own side had not really exerted their strength.
It's not the same now.
This round of war can be said to be an all-out and 100% outbreak, which is not something that a single important town of the princes of the world can stop.
Otherwise, Yuan Shao, Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, Nanjiang Wujiao, Gongsun Zan and other princes would not have been destroyed so quickly.
After the collapse of the army of the wealthy clan alliance, Cao Cao still wanted to keep Yingchuan County and Chenliu County?
Hehe......
It can only be said that he is a little overthinking.
"Strategist, please!"
"Bongxian, please!"
The generals left, Lu Bu and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, and then strode out of the Chinese army's tent side by side, rose up, and came to a hundred zhang in the sky.
Then, they each used the Great Perfection's concealment technique and breathing technique, and quietly flew towards the Changshe City in front of them.
With the current cultivation and background of the two of them, as long as they are not within the scope of the other party's formation, it is difficult to be discovered.
In fact, in the full play of Jia Xu, a four-star top-grade formation master, in less than an hour, a four-star top-grade chain array had already been arranged around Changshe City within a radius of hundreds of miles.
This large array is different from the previous formation, this is mainly arranged by Jia Xu's natal superlative acquired merit spirit treasure array, and it is a super large array with dark attributes.
There are also Lu Bu's thirty-six Dinghai Divine Beads to suppress the array eye.
It can be said that even if the power of this four-star superb chain array is not as good as the super formation laid by Wang Qiang, it is not something that the other party can resist.
After the formation was arranged, Jia Xu reviewed it again and found that there were no mistakes or omissions, and together with Lu Bu, he waited for the arrival of the time for the general attack.
At this time, in Changshe City, Shenjun Xun Shu had already led an elite coalition of about 10 million people from the wealthy family to arrive in the city, and used the bloodline inheritance spirit treasure to suppress the formation of the city protection array, and was ready to fight to the death.
The tens of millions of elite troops who came to support were already one of the hole cards that the wealthy family had raised with all their might, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than those previous rabble.
Not only here in Changshe, but also in Yangzhai City, the two important towns of Yangcheng, each with tens of millions of elites, under the leadership of an ancestor of a famous family, arrived in the city, and both used the inheritance spirit treasure to suppress the city protection array.
The endless evil qi spread rapidly inside and outside the three important towns where the two sides gathered, and a battle of attack and defense that decided the fate of both sides was about to kick off.
