Chapter 316: Cao Ren's Death
However, the monolith is far from over!
Guo Jia, Xun You and others looked at the boulders that were constantly being thrown outside the city, and rushed forward one after another to pull Cao Cao off the city wall.
Cao Cao was about to struggle away.
Guo Jia roared: "King, calm down! ”
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!"
"General Xiahou died tragically, and we are all very sad."
"But today's situation, if you stay here, then everyone will die together!"
"After so many years, you have worked hard for the foundation, are you really willing to give up completely without any scruples?"
Cao Cao calmed down a little.
Guo Jia hurriedly motioned for everyone to carry Cao Cao down the city wall.
Cao Cao's gaze was fixed on Xiahou Yuan and the direction in which the boulder fell.
There, Xiahou Yuan fell to the ground, and he had already become a puddle of blood and mud.
Cao Cao wailed.
Over the years, he has lost his closest people one after another.
Xun Yu didn't go with him and died in Xudu.
Cao Hong died in Tongguan.
Now, Xiahou Yuan also died tragically under the thunderbolt.
These are all people who follow him to conquer the world!
But now, the world is gone.
One by one, these people are leaving them!
Guo Jia, Xun You and others were also crying while carrying Cao Cao down the city wall.
Who would have thought that just one Jingzhou legion of Wu State could have such strength!
Guo Jia and others carried Cao Cao to the north gate of the city.
Guo Jia also asked the other more than 20,000 cavalrymen who had not yet joined the battlefield to summon over.
Holding the hands of Xun You and Xiahoudun, Guo Jiaqiang endured his cough and said in a trembling voice: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." ”
"In this situation, it is impossible to retreat from the enemy if you hold the city to the death."
"You keep retreating with the king."
"I'll come to the palace."
"Even if I die, I will gnaw a piece of meat from the Jingzhou Legion."
"If the Jingzhou army pursues and fights fiercely, you will retreat to Liangzhou, abandon the city, and learn the migration strategy of the Huns."
"We are mainly cavalry, although the Jingzhou Legion also has cavalry, and its strength is extraordinary, but their main force is still bow infantry, and they can't keep up with our footsteps."
"We must make full use of our cavalry superiority to keep Liangzhou."
"Don't be tough."
Xun You's face turned pale.
Xiahoudun's voice was also a little trembling: "Live a nomadic life? ”
Guo Jia nodded emphatically and said with a sad expression: "As long as we are alive, there is always hope." ”
"How many ups and downs have you and the king been through? Still persevering until now. ”
"Grit your teeth and keep going."
"There's always going to be a chance."
Xiahoudun hurriedly said: "Then you also go along!" ”
Guo Jia shook his head, glanced at Cao Cao, who was in the crowd in the distance, surrounded by the crowd and getting on his horse, and crumbling, and said with a forced smile: "Someone has to sit here." ”
"Otherwise, we retreat together, and the enemy army will quickly capture the walls and then catch up."
"The morale of the army has been completely lost, and once it is pursued by the Jingzhou Legion, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Even a mutiny is possible."
"The king has been hit hard this time, and he has no thoughts."
"Stand up at this time."
After speaking, he patted Xun You's shoulder, turned around and ran towards the south gate of the city.
Cao Cao, who was in the distance, also saw Guo Jia's movements, turned his head, and was about to stop Guo Jia.
However, his voice was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't make a sound.
He could only shed tears again and muttered, "Feng Xiao! Bong Hyo! Bong Hyo."
Xun You and Xiahoudun glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
The two of them turned on their horses one after another, beckoning the army to follow and evacuate Zitong.
Outside the south of Zitong City.
At the rear of the Jingzhou Army, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Pang Tong rode on their horses.
Jia Xu and Sima Hui stood on the chariot.
The surroundings of several people were surrounded by Gao Shun's trap camp.
Now Gao Shun's trapping camp has already been reorganized from the original heavy armor soldiers to heavy cavalry.
Seeing that Cao Ren had just taken the archers out of the city, but he was retreating step by step, Pang Tong looked at Xu Shu and said, "Commander, I haven't seen the enemy cavalry!" The enemy abandoned the cavalry out of the city and chose the arch infantry to attack, which was very strange. ”
Lu Xun answered: "Promote strengths and avoid weaknesses? Countering our strengths with shortcomings, the archers stormed our front, attracting our attention, and in fact, their main forces could quite well rush out from the gates on both sides, attacking our left and right flanks, or simply from the large rear, coming towards us. ”
"After all, a man shoots a horse first, and a thief captures the king first."
"Our main forces are so strong that the enemy forces are completely powerless."
"Then, we have to take a risk."
"Moreover, we do not have the strength to rush to the gates on both sides."
Zhuge Liang said: "The enemy's archers and infantry have been unable to suppress the decline, and I think that since the enemy has adopted the strategy of exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, we will simply take the plan." ”
"The cavalry on both sides took advantage of the fact that the enemy army was now decadent, and rushed directly to kill it."
"At the same time, shield soldiers are used as cover on both sides, and spearmen, three-bow bed crossbowmen and Zhuge crossbowmen and archers are hidden behind."
"If the enemy army is charged from both sides with the main cavalry, it will be enough to deal with it by spearmen, three-bow bed crossbowmen and Zhuge crossbowmen."
"If the enemy attacks the rear with the main cavalry."
Looking at Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang said, "Now immediately let the trapping camp block the outermost outer." ”
"The enemy's main cavalry rushed to kill, let the trapped camp rush and kill a wave, block its sharp energy, slow down its attack speed, and then attack with eight thousand swordsmen."
"The Horse Chopping Knife Soldier was created by King Wu to deal with cavalry, and the enemy army has never seen it."
"In the face of the frustrated cavalry, you can test the results for the first time."
Xu Shu looked at Jia Xu and Sima Hui on the chariot and said, "What do Jia Gong and Sima Gong say?" ”
Jia Xu put his hands in his sleeves, as if he was asleep, and did not respond.
Sima Hui smiled: "You can give it a try." Although Brother Xun, Kong Ming, and Shi Yuan were young, they all observed well, and the old man thought that it was the enemy's flaws. ”
Xu Shu nodded and immediately gave an order to the standard-bearers beside him.
Suddenly, Gao Shun and the trap camp quickly dispersed into two teams, each team of five hundred people, separated from the outermost part of the rear.
The eight thousand swordsmen who were originally in front of the trapping camp quickly retreated, surrounding Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Lu Xun, Jia Xu and Sima Hui in the middle, forming a huge gossip array.
And in front of the swordsmen, the archers moved quickly.
The shield men split into the outermost part of the two sides.
The gunners were second second.
The three-bow crossbowmen were second to the rear of the spearmen.
The Zhuge crossbowmen were second to the crossbowmen of the three-bow bed.
Archers in the middle.
The cavalry on the left and right sides saw the rear flags dancing, and as Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu and Ma Chao took the lead to kill them, 10,000 cavalry rushed across the drawbridge like a tide and rushed straight to the archers led by Cao Ren.
Cao Ren's archers were already frightened by the three-bow bed crossbowmen and kept retreating.
At this time, seeing Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu and Ma Chao leading the cavalry to rush over, they immediately fled in a hurry towards the back.
Cao Ren killed several people again, and seeing that he still couldn't resist the rout, he prepared to retreat to the city as well.
looked up at the city wall, but saw that Cao Cao, Xun You and others were no longer on the city wall, there was only one Guo Jia!
Guo Jia coughed violently while looking down at the Jingzhou Legion outside the city.
He also didn't understand the reason for the sudden change of formation of the Jingzhou Legion.
To be exact, he didn't know what the unusual weapons held in the Jingzhou Legion were for!
However, his gaze fell on the retreating infantry of his own bow below the city.
At this point, there was no way to get them to retreat into the city.
The enemy cavalry had already covered up.
The gates could not be closed at all because of the congestion of the archers.
Once they did retreat, the enemy cavalry followed suit.
Moreover, as soon as the archers retreated, the enemy attacked the walls with thunderbolts even more brazenly.
The power of the thunderbolt is too domineering.
You are powerless.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't bear to glance at the archers outside the city who were constantly rushing with the cavalry of the Jingzhou legion, and summoned the commanders to let the drummers beat the war drums.
Those who remain must die!
They could only use their deaths to gnaw a piece of meat on the Jingzhou army to buy time for the retreat of Cao Cao and others.
Moreover, it is also a warning to the Jingzhou Army.
If you want to take down Liangguo, you must pay the price of blood!
Cao Ren was expecting Guo Jia on the city wall to give the order to withdraw his troops.
The next moment, what made his breath stagnate, the sound of war drums sounded on the city wall!
The rapid sound of war drums is like a life-urging talisman, urging every soldier to sacrifice his life and fight bloodily.
Cao Ren looked at the cavalry of the Jingzhou Legion who were constantly rushing on the periphery, raised his head, and watched the torrential rain pouring down overhead.
Is this God crying for himself?
Today, is my Cao Ren's death?
Cao Ren let out a long sigh.
After a long while, he lowered his head, roared, slashed the soldiers in front of him with his long sword, rushed to the outermost periphery, and roared angrily while rushing towards the cavalry who came up: "Kill! ”
The retreating archers saw that Cao Ren was in the lead, and the rear was congested again, unable to retreat into the city, and the war drums sounded on the city wall that became more and more intense.
Knowing that they would die today, they roared in despair one by one and rushed towards the cavalry of the Jingzhou legion.
There were constantly bowed infantry falling under the charge of the cavalry.
Archers and infantry were constantly rushing up.
The archers who were originally frantically retreating to the rear, pushing and shoving, watched their comrades in front of them rushing towards the enemy cavalry, constantly falling, constantly being impacted, and their eyes were scarlet.
Yes.
I can't go back.
You can only rush forward.
Even if you die, you can't die like this.
The roar of anger, the hoarse scream, instantly filled the sky above the entire Zitong, and the thunder echoed into a glow.
Batch after batch of archers and infantry fell.
Groups of archers and infantry followed.
The corpses piled up quickly.
Blood was mixed with pouring rain, and blood flowed like a river.
Guo Jia stood on the city wall, overlooking this scene, and there was no look on his face.
On his face, all he could see was raindrops falling.
Cao Ren killed four cavalrymen in a row.
On his body, the armor had been pierced in dozens of places, and he could no longer see a single completeness.
Standing tremblingly in the sea of corpses and blood, Cao Ren raised his long sword and watched Lu Bu gallop towards him on a war horse, with a miserable smile on his face.
With his left hand, he pulled out a spear from the corpse at his feet, stuck it in the mountain of corpses behind him, and leaned his back against the spear.
Seeing that Lu Bu raised his halberd and rushed towards him, Cao Ren raised his long sword in both hands and roared angrily: "Kill !!!! ”
