The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 435 General Attack
After receiving the news from Ma Chao, Xu Shu knew that Cao Jun's reinforcements were coming soon. Xiahou Dun's five thousand cavalry were just standing in front of them. They rushed over from Wancheng so quickly. They were really desperate.

Although there are not many five thousand cavalry, it will be a big trouble once they enter the Hanzhong Plain. Moreover, Xiahou Dun is a clan general with a higher status than Xiahou Yuan. Once he is allowed to enter Nanzheng, he can quickly stabilize the morale of the army.Calculating the time and distance, Cao Jun's next wave of reinforcements is coming soon, and it's time to capture Nanzheng City.

However, before launching the general attack, we must be prepared to guard against Xiahoudun. Otherwise, when Xiahoudun's cavalry is attacking the city, the Cao army in the city will take the opportunity to fight back, and the success or failure is still unknown.

Therefore, Xu Shu arranged for Huang Zhong to lead [-] soldiers to the exit of Yangping Road and choose a suitable location to block.Xiahou Dun came to help in the starry night, and the Qingqi traveled three hundred miles a day and night.The infantry who had chosen their positions and prepared their positions in advance had no problem stopping the exhausted cavalry. Moreover, among the ten thousand soldiers led by Huang Zhong, there were five thousand bowmen with enough arrows.

Five days later, the excavation team dug the tunnel to the bottom of the city wall, because they encountered the foundation of the city wall, and then began to expand the space laterally, so as to accumulate gunpowder, and at the same time build wooden shelves on the roof of the cave to avoid landslides.It is not easy to transport gunpowder inside, because this is gunpowder that will explode when it encounters a spark, and it cannot be lit at all, but can only be discredited and transported inside.

Two priceless luminous pearls were used as light bulbs for lighting. Soldiers of the Chu army piled up explosives with the faint light and left long leads.

Cao Jun in the city was a little confused. Why did he stop digging after digging under the city wall?I've been tinkering under the city wall for two days. Don't you plan to dig in?Do you want to dig down the city wall?
After thinking about it for a while, Du Xi suddenly changed his face, because he thought of a possibility. He had received a military report from Huainan before, saying that Zhang Wu had a powerful weapon in his hand that could burst into thunder. Such a sound, and several military divisions suspected that the collapse of the Moling city wall was related to this weapon.

Du Xi quickly asked the soldier in charge of monitoring the underground movement, and asked him to determine the specific location of the local tunnel.But the soil method of placing a large tank is not a precise modern scientific instrument after all, and it is okay to judge a rough position, but it is impossible to be specific within a few meters.

At this time, the dead horse can only be used as a living horse doctor. Du Xi asked the soldiers to stand on the city wall and throw stones at the deduced position, hoping to collapse the tunnel dug by the Chu army, and then quickly reported his guess to the police. Cao Hong.

However, even if Du Xige guessed the truth of the matter, it was already too late. The Chu army had already buried the gunpowder and made preparations. It has long been planned to block the tunnel so that the gunpowder can exert greater power when it explodes.

After Cao Hong heard Du Xi's report, he was also frightened. When Moling was captured by Zhang Wu, he was beside Cao Cao, and he also heard the muffled sound from afar.Later, a secret agent sent information that the city wall of Moling had been struck by lightning. Cao Hong thought it was a joke. Later, some military advisers speculated that Zhang Wu should have mastered some kind of powerful weapon.

Now that the other party is going to use that method to knock down the city wall of Nanzheng again, how can Cao Hong not be anxious?But he couldn't think of any way to deal with it, and Du Xi, Guo Huai and others didn't have any good methods. Now they could only rely on the city wall to hold on, and they couldn't fight when they went out.

At the same time, the Chu army was finally about to launch a general offensive.

Xu Shu convened a meeting and ordered: "Everyone, it's time to end the Battle of Hanzhong. We must take Nanzheng before Cao Jun's large-scale reinforcements arrive. I have decided to launch a general attack on Nanzheng today. Next, Xiaozhi will announce the battle of the various ministries. Task!"

Then Fazheng announced the tasks of each department. After the city wall was blown up, the general Zhang Ren led the troops to rush into the city first, and the other generals entered the city to control several city gates and main buildings.

The credit for beheading Xiahouyuan was taken by Li Yan, and Xu Shu gave Zhang Ren the credit for taking the lead in attacking Nanzheng. After all, Zhang Ren can be regarded as a representative of Yizhou local generals. In this Hanzhong battle, Yizhou native faction But it took a lot of effort.

Following Xu Shu's order, the soldiers ignited the fuse. While everyone was waiting anxiously and excitedly, with a loud noise, the southern city wall that had been destroyed for more than ten days was blown down.

The defenders in the city have nothing to do about it. They know that the opponent will use this method to deal with them, but they are powerless. This is a kind of helplessness in terms of strength gap, and it is also a kind of helplessness between a backward technology level and an advanced technology level.

Just like the late Qing government faced the aggression of foreign powers, the Eight Banners were unable to defeat the strong ships and guns of the imperialists; just like in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the enemy had bombers to bombard them unscrupulously, but we did not.

What else can I do?I can only take human lives to fill it!
Therefore, Cao Jun could only wait in the city for the final moment of decisive battle, but there was no other way.In the past, defending the city could rely on the strong city wall to fight against the opponent, but now suddenly there is a method that can bring down the city wall. You don't need to spend your life to consume it, you can only adapt to this change.

After the city wall collapsed, the Chu army swarmed in. Zhang Ren led the troops to attack the city first, waving his sword and constantly harvesting the heads of Cao's army.

Cao Hong led his troops to resist desperately, but the moment the city wall fell down, the outcome of this war was already doomed.The morale of the Cao army is low, but the morale of the Chu army is high; the Cao army has only 2 people, and the Chu army has 6; Yan, Yan Yan, Wu Yi and more than a dozen famous generals.

After the city wall was removed, the strength of the two sides was too different. When the two armies fought face to face, all tactics were unnecessary, and Du Xi, Guo Huai and others could only pick up their knives to resist.

At this time, Huang Zhong, who was in charge of blocking Xiahou Dun, had already fought Cao Jun. Xiahou Dun's five thousand cavalry arrived two days earlier than expected. It seems that Xiahou Dun was really anxious, because he knew that if Hanzhong was lost, Guanzhong would be lost forever. There is no peace.

However, Xiahou Dun encountered Huang Zhong's tenacious sniper attack. He rushed several times but failed to break through Huang Zhong's defense line. Instead, he lost a lot of cavalry.In order to hurry, Xiahoudun led light cavalry. The journey was fast and fast, and sometimes he ate on horseback, so he was already very tired.

The biggest advantage of the light cavalry is to use their speed advantage to carry out raids and harassment warfare. If they forcefully charge the infantry phalanx with a well-arranged position, they will generally not be able to get a bargain.Moreover, Huang Zhong has many crossbowmen under his command, and the firepower is really fierce.

Xiahou Dun had no choice but to let Zhang He personally lead [-] infantry to form a shield formation to attack Huang Zhong's position.As long as he can get involved with the opponent, Xiahou Dun will have a chance to lead his cavalry to rush over.
