Chapter 543

Knock knock~

On the tower of the north gate of White Horse City, the war drums are still beating, still so excited, so urgent, so persistent, and not affected by the battle situation under the city in the slightest.

Zhang Xiu was furious, raised his head and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!"

Liu Yan shouted to Zhang Xiu under the city: "General Zhang, what are the results, you have made a military order, and you will not return!"

Zhang Xiu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he roared angrily: "I have my own explanation for the military order, Cao Sikong, you open the city gate quickly, otherwise it will be a personal vendetta of the communiqué, and how to explain it to Cao Sikong." ”

Liu Yan smiled coldly and said: "Out of the city to fight, it was General Zhang who took the initiative to ask for help, not for Liu to force the general, now tens of thousands of enemy soldiers are coming to the city, if Liu opens the city gate without permission, if the enemy army follows in, the city will be broken, this is what Liu can't afford!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes were red, his eyes were about to split, and he pointed to the city and shouted: "We are cavalry, we can enter the city in an instant, and the pursuers are still behind and dare not come closer, how can we follow in." ”

Liu Yanchao still sneered: "It's a big matter to defend the city, how dare Liu take it lightly, and ask the general to break through to the side, the enemy army is already approaching, and he is about to attack the city, Liu is going to release arrows!"

Woo Woo Woo ~ As soon as the words fell, Liu Yan waved his hand, and a large number of crossbow arrows were shot down on the city, which shocked the Xiliang cavalry to avoid it, although it failed to cause great damage, but it made the Xiliang cavalry unable to stay in the city any longer.

"You ......"

Zhang Xiu waved his spear and struggled to block a few crossbow arrows, the spear was pointed at Liu Yan on the city tower, only to feel that his heart was churning, and he almost vomited blood, and he wanted to scold but couldn't.

When he turned his head, he saw that 30,000 Hao troops had already copied from Sanfang, and with their only 1,000 cavalry, if they forcibly broke through from the two flanks, it would be tantamount to moths to a fire.

"General Zhao has an order, you will not be killed!"

Looking at the heavy army around him, Zhang Xiu sat on horseback, his face was cloudy, as if he was making an important decision.

"I just offended Liu Yan in my words, so I was retaliated by him like this, and now the only way to do this is to rush out from the middle lane, and maybe I can win a little bit of life......"

Zhang Xiu's heart was sad for a while, gritted his teeth, raised his gun and shouted: "Come with me, assault!"

Rushing to the west, the Western Liang cavalry, like a headless fly, had to follow Zhang Xiu, and frantically rushed towards the middle road again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun raised his gun and shouted: "Prepare a crossbow and kill this little boy who doesn't know what to do!"

Arrows rained down, and more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry, braving hundreds of sharp arrows, rushed wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they had been shot and shot down hundreds of people.

And the rest of the people, including Zhang Xiu, also died in battle soon.

As for White Horse City, it was nothing to Zhao Yun, who led the army, and it was just a charge to take White Horse City......

Hao army camp, Guo Jia next to Hao Bai said: "Cao Jun has led the army to retreat to Guandu, and now there are 250,000 Cao troops in the place of Guandu, and the place where the lord and Cao Jun will fight a decisive battle is probably in Guandu." ”

Battle of Guandu...... After all, there is still such a battle here.

Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui, and the chasm is connected to the fortresses of Hujiaoguan, Gong and Luoyang in the west, and Huaishui and Surabaya in the east, which is the barrier between the east and north of Xudu.

And as long as Cao Cao guards the official crossing, he can drag it on.

Guandu north, the 160,000 troops of the Hao army set up camp here, the camps are dotted around, stretching for more than ten miles, everywhere is the banner waving, at a glance can not see the edge.

From the camp of the Hao army three or four miles, you can vaguely see Cao Cao's camp, only to see Cao Cao's army piled up soil into a mountain, into a condescending situation, and set up one after another fortifications on the earth mountain, like a thick city wall across the front of Guandu.

On the dirt mountain, there are not only dense crossbows and crossbows holding on to them, but also trebuchets, bed crossbows and other defensive weapons.

Such a defense is far more difficult to overcome than the city wall, because the defenders that can be accommodated on the city wall are limited after all, and once a fierce general is sent to kill the head of the city, it is very likely to kill the enemy army at the head of the city, and then open the city gate to break the enemy.

On the earth mountain, there are endless tens of thousands of troops, even if Haobai braves the rain of arrows to kill the earth mountain at any cost, he has to face more than 200,000 troops behind, so in the case of normal state on both sides, even if the elite soldiers under Haobai are brave, it is difficult to forcibly break through the condescending Cao army.

Haobai led Zhao Yun and other henchmen to inspect around before Guandu, and was about to return to the tent, when he suddenly heard an urgent report from a scout Pegasus outside the tent.

"General Qiyu, Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 people, personally went down to Tushan to meet the battle, and rushed to our army's camp, which is already five miles away!"

When Haobai heard this, he came just in time, could it be that Cao Cao dared to fight with me in the field, and immediately ordered all the troops to assemble and personally lead the army out of the camp to meet the battle.

Outside the camp, the Hao army dispatched 50,000 troops, lined up, covering the entire field, and there were crowds of people everywhere.

More than a mile away from the army, the Cao army was also black and oppressive, like a dark cloud, obscuring the sight of the Hao army, and only the sword halberd like a forest and the banner like a cloud could be seen.

The two armies, with a total of 150,000 troops, seemed to fill the entire heaven and earth, except for the buffer zone in the middle of more than a mile exposed loess and green grass, except for the gray patch between the heaven and the earth, no other colors could be seen.

Knock knock

The sound of drums on the opposite side sounded, and the sound stirred people's hearts, followed by countless swords and guns, forming a forest in the air.

This is not the drums of an offensive, but a demonstration before the start of the battle, in an attempt to create a powerful momentum to boost one's own morale and suppress the morale of the other side.

It's just a pity that the army standing opposite them has not tasted defeat since its debut, where will Cao Jun's noisy momentum be put in his eyes, everyone looks calm, looking at the banner of the Chinese army tightly, just waiting for the banner to move, they will rush out.

I saw a person galloping out on the opposite side, surrounded by a group of generals, after more than 100 steps before he stood on his horse, and more than a dozen generals beside him were all holding weapons, which was Cao Cao.

Immediately afterwards, several soldiers with bright armor shouted loudly: "Cao Sikong invites General Hao to come to the front of the battle for a while!"

Haobai smiled, turned around and explained, and took Zhao Yun and Dian Wei out on horseback.

The two rode closer, and the generals behind them were all like great enemies, for fear that the opponent would suddenly be difficult to attack their lord.

Of course, in comparison, the generals behind Haobai are relatively easy, after all, Haobai's force is known to the world, and he can easily crush Cao Cao.

Cao Cao raised the whip pole in his hand, pointed at Hao Bai and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, in the past, Xu Du was goodbye, don't come unharmed." ”

Haobai smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, but Brother Meng De, are you okay!"

Cao Cao also laughed and said: "I'm very good, but you don't know what to do, Your Majesty named you the Duke of the Kingdom, and I also gave you a generous gift, but you led the people to rebel, this is ......"
