Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Fish Takes the Bait, and the Artifact Comes Out
Oh, yes...
How can you break this baffle with a stick?
Gotta use a knife...
With his Guan Xing's Qinglong Glaive Knife.
Under the blade, where can these baffles be carried!
- It's just a clown jumping off the beam!
After a while, the soldiers handed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to Guan Xing, Guan Xing took the Qinglong Knife, turned his head, and said angrily: "What a wall, if my Qinglong Yanyue Knife can't break it, I... I'm willing to bow down! ”
As he spoke, he carried a knife in one hand and drove his horse forward in the other.
Close, close...
When facing the baffle, Guan Xing's whole body gathered strength in his hands.
Two-handed dancing knife.
The Green Dragon Glaive Knife crossed a brilliant arc in the air, carrying the strong wind and the majestic strength, and it went straight down like a mountain and a sea!
- Qiang... Boom!
With the sound of the Blue Dragon Glaive colliding with the baffle.
In the eyes of all who are looking forward to it.
The baffle of the van is especially self-immovable!
On the contrary, the edge of the Qinglong Glaive seems to have knocked out a "tooth"...
This is...
- Didn't you break the defense?
Guan Xing's overwhelming sword, actually... Didn't break the defense!
How did Guan Xing know that the "wooden plank" of this partial van car is the fusion of Huang Chengyan's wood art and forging steel technology... Every other section of wood is plated with a thin layer of steel.
Ordinary blades, let alone smashing, are breaking defenses, and it is also difficult!
…
…
An urgent report from Jiangdong crossed the mountains and finally arrived at Hanzhong City in Dongchuan.
The sky in this Han is like the situation here, changing endlessly.
It was still a sunny day, and at dusk, a strong wind suddenly blew.
Outside the city, in a military camp, under countless tall watchtowers, there are endless antlers and horses, which are intertwined and intricate.
The number is so large and the furnishings are so tight that anyone who sees it will feel afraid to retreat.
Since the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu was conscripted, Zhang Xiu opened the city and surrendered, Cao Cao kicked open the widow's door, and as a result, a favorite general, a virtuous nephew, and a beloved horse were confessed there.
Cao Cao's soul has also lost most of it!
In any new city, Cao Cao will not live in it at night.
In a high position and suspicious by nature, the only person he can fully trust now is his army.
At this moment, dusk has arrived, and thousands of military flags with the character "Wei" are still waving in the wind under the washing of the rain.
… Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, the five horses in front of the five carriages seemed to raise their hooves uneasily because of the sudden cold weather, stomping heavily on the ground, and sometimes snorting.
But...
Even this sudden cold weather, even the sound of the "whirring" outside the account, still could not hide the demonic laughter in the Chinese army's tent.
- "Hahahahahaha..."
Cao Cao was laughing.
And often Cao Cao smiled, either life and death were unpredictable, or the whole camp knew.
For a while, the entire Cao military camp was filled with his laughter.
"Huhou, come, give him saliva and let him continue!"
After a hearty laugh, Cao Cao ordered the messenger in front of him to continue his report.
The messenger took a bowl of water handed by Xu Chu, drank it all, and then opened his mouth again.
"The three generals guarded the city by General Lejin according to the order of the lord 'thief to Naifa', and General Zhang Liao and General Li Dian went out of the city, and the result... Without waiting for General Li Dian to go out of the city to respond, General Zhang Liao led 800 Shanxi infantry to kill 100,000 soldiers and horses of Sun Quan. ”
"From night to dawn, and from dawn to noon, I killed in the Dongwu military camp for a whole morning, beheaded dozens of generals, blood flowed like a river, 100,000 Wu troops fled in a hurry, and countless soldiers and horses of Dongwu trampled on each other."
"After another seven days, Sun Quan led the army to spy under the city of Hefei, General Zhang Liao led 800 Shanxi cavalry, in Xiaoyaojin to break the Eastern Wu, almost captured the Eastern Wu lord Sun Quan, this battle killed the Wu army soldiers fearless, even Lu Meng, Gan Ning also escaped from death, now, the entire Eastern Wu, but where there are Jiangdong children crying, as long as you hear 'Liaolai, Liaolai', the crying will stop!"
"Ahh Stop crying? Hahahaha! ”
Cao Cao laughed again, only this time there was a little more surprise in his smile.
Zhang Liao's bravery was beyond his imagination!
"Hahahaha, Wen Yuan is really a general!" Cao Cao said with emotion while laughing.
Cheng Yu, a strategist on the side, arched his hand and said: "This is all the work of acquaintances!" ”
"Hahahaha," Cao Cao laughed again. Where is it enough for such a great general to bring only a few thousand people? Pass on the lonely life and increase the troops for General Wenyuan! ”
"Whoa!" Cheng Yu hurriedly surrendered his hand.
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao's laughter rose again, and this time was the happiest today.
And when Cao Cao's voice fell, Cheng Yu blinked his eyes and reminded Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, after Zhang Lu surrendered, Hanzhong has returned to the Prime Minister, but now, the Prime Minister has not gone south to Bashu for a long time, a few days ago General Miaocai (Xiahou Yuan) asked, the Prime Minister said that he was waiting for the news of Hefei, a certain know, the Prime Minister is once the Southern Expedition, the Eastern Wu side took advantage of the situation to go north, and my Great Wei will fight on two fronts!"
"But now... Hefei victory, Dongwu vitality is greatly injured, morale is low, there is no need to worry about it in a short period of time, whether the prime minister should consider, taking advantage of the morale of the three armies, taking advantage of the change of mind of the people of Yizhou, to get Longwangshu, in one fell swoop, to break through Chengdu, capture that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, in order to get rid of the trouble. ”
Cheng Yu's words are reasonable.
This also made Cao Cao once again fall into contemplation on the decision to "go south to Bashu".
It is necessary to know that Xun Yu fell three years ago, and Xun Yu fell a year ago.
Now...
Among the four major strategists under Cao Cao, only Jia Xu and Cheng Yu remained.
Jia Xu is nicknamed "Poisoner", but now he is getting older and more refined, and he is becoming more and more refined.
From the previous campaign against Xiliang, after offering the plan of "separation" Ma Chao and Han Sui, this 'poisoner' has not come up with a plan for four years, which is simply a pity for words.
Therefore, Cheng Yu is now the only one left among the four strategists who often accompany Cao Cao and give advice to him.
This time, he proposed to be long... Also well thought out.
Yizhou Xinding, Liu Bei is not sitting steadily, and it is not glorious to take it, when this "people's hearts are panicking" and "people's minds are changing"... Indeed, in Cao Cao, it is the best time to go south to Bashu.
It's just that...
Today's Cao Cao, he still has concerns.
At this moment, his tiger eyes were slightly condensed, and his tone was low and heavy. "Zhongde thinks that if Dongwu is defeated, will Lone be able to sit back and relax?"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes opened and shouted: "His ten Sun Zhongmou are tied together, and they are not as good as one Guan Yunchang!" ”
Hiss...
Hearing this, Cheng Yu took a light breath.
Originally... Here's the crux of the matter!
Cao Cao cared too much about Guan Yu.
How capable Guan Yu is, no one knows better than him Cao Cao.
As long as Guan Yu is in Jiangling for one day, it will be a huge threat to Xiangfan.
You must know that behind Xiangfan is Nanyang, known as the southern capital, is the largest grain production place in the Central Plains, is the vein of the Han economy, and the Han Dynasty is prosperous enough to rival Yecheng and Xudu.
And once Xiangfan is lost, then Guan Yu will directly threaten Nanyang when he moves his army north, and once Nanyang is lost, it is equivalent to cutting off the food of the entire Wei army.
- It also broke the soul of the entire Wei army...
This is what Cao Cao cares about the most.
Speaking of...
Over the years, Guan Yu has indeed made Cao Cao feel palpitations.
His most important brother, Cao Ren, was about to be beaten into a shrunken turtle by Guan Yu.
Dispatch support for Lejin... Before he fought, because of Guan Yu's move "Absolute North Road", he cut off the connection between Lejin Grain Road Transportation and Xiangfan Caoren, and even... A grain raid will turn Le Jin into a bare-bones general!
In addition, Guan Yu has been too capable of fighting over the years!
Undoubtedly, Guan Yu and Jiangling have become the biggest threat to the entire Cao Wei.
Constrained by this threat, how could Cao Cao dare to go south easily?
… Once the war starts here, and there is something wrong with Xiangfan, then Cao Cao will not even have a chance to return to help!
"Lord, dragging it out like this is beneficial to Liu Bei to sit firmly in Yizhou, but it is not beneficial to us!"
Cheng Yu is still persuading.
"Hahaha." Cao Cao got up slowly, he put his hand deep into the basin of water, wiped it with a clean cloth, and said, "Lone wants to go south more than you... But as long as Lone thinks that Lone's opponent is Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, Lone must be patient, think carefully, and think about how to do a foolproof strategy! Over the years, Dawei has suffered a lot in their hands. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao wiped his washed hands on his clothes quite uninhibitedly.
He quickly turned around, but there was a sudden glint in his eyes.
"Finally, after thinking and meditating, I thought of this strategy, and I also picked the best time to go south!"
"What is the timing of the prime minister's pick..."Cheng Yu hurriedly asked.
Cao Cao had already slowly walked to the door, letting the wind rage on him.
He looked up, his fine eyes narrowing almost into a slit, and he looked at the sky.
- "In Jingzhou, it's almost the dry season, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yu suddenly realized.
"It turns out that the prime minister has been waiting for the dry period!"
"Hahaha..."Cao Cao said with a smile as he walked: "It's been calculated, Zixiao and Guan Yu have been fighting against each other for several years, Zixiao has never defeated Guan Yunchang outside the dry period, and I, the general of Great Wei, have no one who can defeat Yunchang in the flat water period and the rising water period!" ”
"This is because the Guan family army under Guan Yu is well-equipped for water battles and foot battles, and such soldiers and horses cannot be trained alone..."
"But... Gu thought about it carefully, Fang Cai's words, the reverse is the same, outside the dry period, he Guan Yunchang has won many battles, but during the dry period, how can Guan Yunchang ever win a battle? This time... Lone plans to give Yun Chang a gift, and Lone wants to send Cao Chun and the tiger and leopard over during the dry season... He Guan Yu can't break the tiger and leopard ride in the dry period! ”
"In this way, as long as Jingzhou is stable, Lone will be able to free up his hand to go south to Yizhou and break the big-eared thief into pieces!"
Call...
Hearing this, Cheng Yu exhaled a long breath.
During the dry period, it turned out that ... The prime minister has been calculating Jingzhou!
Dry period, good dry period.
As the prime minister said, Cao Chun and the tiger and leopard riders in this period are invincible!
…
…
Green Dragon Glaive.
With a charged blow, Guan Xing still couldn't break through the huge baffle in front of him.
It is hard to imagine that only eight partial vans can connect these baffles into a piece, and besiege a phalanx, which is impregnable on all sides, and there is no way to attack.
It is necessary to know that the cavalry is strong in the huge destructive power and impact of the indomitable attack.
But now... Guan Xing found that Mo said that they were more than ten riders, but they came to hundreds of riders and thousands of riders, facing this huge baffle? What can he do?
The effort of thinking.
The wooden sticks in those small holes on the baffle were swung out again, this time Guan Xing was prepared, and immediately dodged, but there were too many wooden sticks... Or one hit him in the chest.
Guan Xing relied on the toughness of his body... The blow was carried out forcefully and was not knocked off the horse.
But his mood was extremely lost.
It's like, all his dedication to "martial arts" and "bravery", at this moment... All... They all fell in front of the baffle.
His chest ached, and his confidence disappeared without a trace.
"Lost... Third sister, I lost! Our cavalry can't break through this formation. ”
Guan Xing opened his mouth helplessly...
Yes, these are only eight strange chariots, what if they are eighty? What about eight hundred?
As long as there are enough of them, this is undoubtedly a fortress on the flat ground, facing the cold fortress walls? How can the cavalry break through?
Thinking of this section, Guan Xing's eyes looked at Guan Lin, although he still refused to admit defeat, he still opened his voice and said:
"Fourth brother, this chariot can be used!"
"As this merchant said, he is indeed the nemesis of cavalry!"
Guan Lin smiled in response.
Needless to say...
Historically, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the border areas against the Tatars have been proven by countless experiences.
It may not be easy for infantry to fight against cavalry, but as long as there is a "side car", when the infantry fights the cavalry, you can stand up all at once!
In fact, the power of this car array is far from being fully exerted.
You must know that the partial van is not only defensive, but also defensive counterattack.
The small hole is not only capable of piercing spears, but all enemies that enter the range are covered by the repeater.
It's a bit too much to say it's a "fortress"...
However, this "chariot formation" is regarded as a fortress, and around this fortress, many defensive and counterattack tactics can be used in the infantry.
The so-called "Butan synergy"!
As long as the chariot array is there, the fortress is there, the position is there.
This means too much on the battlefield.
"You're good..."
Guan Lin walked in front of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi, he pinched his waist, and his tone was quite arrogant..."The wooden ox and flowing horse, the crossbow, and this side car, how many are there, how much this son wants!" ”
This remark is quite high-pitched.
The whole bridge of victory was clearly heard.
At this moment, Guan Yu was falling into a deep groan after a huge shock, like Guan Lin, his eyes were also staring at the two of Shi Huolong and You Tan.
Good ordnance...
Repeaters, wooden oxen and horses, and this magical van!
Isn't this just a coincidence, it's simply, it is a very important good weapon during the Northern Expedition during the dry period, and it is an artifact that can defeat the northern cavalry!
Guan Yu couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
- "The Northern Expedition is imminent, is this God's help to Guan?"
Different from Guan Yu, compared to the magic of these weapons, Ma Liang cares more about the people behind these two businessmen and the forces behind them.
Even Ma Liang has begun to speculate.
- "A merchant from Jiaozhou?"
- "Is the person behind them a taxi from Jiaozhou?"
- "No, how could a mutatin make such a weapon?" If he really had the ability to create it, how could he have been forced by Sun Quan to bow down to him two years ago?"
- "That's... Who could it be? Take 10,000 steps back and say, if they are really from Jiaozhou, why don't they sell these ordnance to Shibian? The Shi Mutant family has a lot of savings and a lot of wealth, how can their price be lower than that of the Cloud Banner Prince?"
Ma Liang couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
In the end, he seemed to have come to his senses all at once.
- "Wrong... Wrong again, chaos, counting; Courage and cowardice, momentum also; Strength and weakness, shape also... They say that they are from Jiaozhou, how can they really be from Jiaozhou, this is just an illusion, they are definitely not from Jiaozhou! There's someone else behind them!'
Thinking of this, Ma Liang's eyes must be beaded.
It seems that he is very sure of this idea.
On the other hand, Guan Yu, on his cheeks, the sense of urgency could not be hidden at all.
He couldn't care about anything else, he said to Guan Ping: "Tanzhi, for my father, I ordered you to contact this businessman in private, and you must grab this military baggage before the cloud banner!" ”
- "This is very important for our army's northern expedition to Xiangfan!" ”
