Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 785 It's Cao Cao Who Comes
This time Zhu Wei led troops to face Cao Cao, so it was naturally impossible to completely abandon the defense of the Yellow River.

After all, Yuan Shao's army of more than [-] is on the opposite side of the Yellow River. Even if Yuan Shao dispatched [-] troops to Hulao Pass to pretend to be Cao Jun, there are still nearly [-] Yuan Shao's main force on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Now it is because of the natural danger of the Yellow River that it can still play a defensive role, so Zhu Wei dared to lead his troops to Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass to face the sneak attacking Cao Cao.

But Zhu Wei still left 1 Xiongba battalion elite soldiers from Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin on the Yellow River defense line, and then left Liu Ye with more than [-] infantry soldiers from the Chinese Army Battalion plus nearly [-] soldiers. Logistics auxiliary troops are stationed.

In this way, Zhu Wei brought the Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass mainly to the [-] Chinese Army Battalion and the [-] Dongzhou Army.

Fortunately, during the battle of the Yellow River these days, Zhu Wei also took the time to reorganize the [-] Dongzhou Army, and armed them with the weapons and equipment he put in the Three Kingdoms game system, so that although they have not yet undergone systematic training, But the whole body is also fully armed, and the combat power has increased a bit.

Now Zhu Wei has [-] garrisons led by Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan and [-] Dongzhou troops led by Wu Lan and Lei Tong at Daguguan, and has already wiped out the [-] Cao troops brought by Cao Ren with the help of an ambush.

Next, Zhu Wei plans to use the 3 Zhongjun Battalion, [-] Dongzhou Army, and Guangcheng Guan Sun Jing's [-] garrison to deal with Cao Cao's more than [-] elite main forces of Cao Cao at Guangcheng Guan, which can be regarded as sufficient soldiers.

At the same time, after the battle at Dagu Pass is over, Sun Shangxiang will take [-] Dagu Pass garrisons and [-] Dongzhou troops led by Wu Lan and Lei Tong to Guangcheng Pass to help in the battle, so that Zhu Wei can fight at Guangcheng Pass. With an absolute superiority of troops here, Cao Cao was defeated in the first battle.

In this way, through the battles of Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass this time, Zhu Wei can eliminate Cao Cao, thereby dismantling the situation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's alliance attacking each other, and officially shifting from strategic defense to strategic counterattack.

Because Zhu Wei is very aware of Cao Jun's movements, now Zhu Wei is preparing a good show for Cao Cao at Guangcheng Pass.

Leaving aside these things for the time being, it is only said that Cao Cao led [-] elite Cao troops to a sheltered forest about three or four miles away from Guangcheng Pass in about half a day after Cao Ren led his troops away. Set up camp.

Nowadays, the summer is hot, and it is neither easy to march nor fight during the day. Therefore, when Cao Jun arrived here, he basically let the whole army rest in the shade.

Then Cao Cao sent scouts to patrol around, and then went to see what was going on at Guangcheng Pass. According to the news from the scouts, everything seemed to be normal, and Cao Cao felt that everything was under control.

Although I am still worried about Cao Ren's sneak attack by pretending to be the Hanzhong army, but since there is no movement at Guangcheng Pass, it means that Cao Ren's army has passed Guangcheng Pass safely, so Dagu Pass may also be a problem. big.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little relaxed in a shady place, chatting with his advisers Guo Jia and Cheng Yu about the march and the battle to attack Guangchengguan later.

According to Cao Cao's idea, he could first send someone to go to Guangcheng Pass to deceive the gate again. Once the gate is opened, he can take advantage of the situation and attack the outer gate located in the south of Luoyang.

Anyway, since Cao Ren was able to deceive the gate of Guangchengguan before, Cao Cao should be able to do so now.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other military counselors of Cao Cao also helped Cao Cao perfect the strategy of deceiving the family, and then proposed other assault tactics that could be used if the deception failed.

This time, Cao Cao also brought a lot of siege equipment and vehicles with his army, and he was fully prepared.

So when the weather gradually arrived in the evening, after the hottest heat in the afternoon, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong, Zhu Zan and [-] Cao troops to pretend to be Hanzhong soldiers and horses again, and headed towards Guangcheng Pass first, while Cao Cao led the army to sneak After collusion.

Around the time when the sky was about to get dark, Cao Hong and Zhu Zan had already led their troops to Guangcheng Pass and shouted at the city gate.

However, before Cao Hong and Zhu Zan could say anything, suddenly a row of crossbow arrows appeared on the city wall, and then they started to shoot down "swish". For a while, Cao Hong and Zhu Zan were defenseless, but He hurriedly jumped off the horse and asked the surrounding soldiers to help them block the arrows.

Continuous crossbow arrows fell like rain in the dark sky, and many soldiers of Cao army fell to the ground without screaming, and more soldiers of Cao army hurriedly raised their shields to resist.

"Withdraw...withdraw...quickly!"

Cao Hong and Zhu Zan knew something was wrong, and they must have exposed their tracks, so they didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly led their troops to retreat.

But at this moment, Cao Hong and Zhu Zan have already been nailed with several crossbow arrows. Thanks to their second-rate strength, they can avoid the threat of vital points at the critical moment.

At this time, since Zhu Weijun didn't even say hello and shot arrows directly, it means that Zhu Weijun can be sure that they are enemies, so there is nothing else to argue about.

As Cao Hong and Zhu Zan led the defeated troops to retreat in a hurry, at least one to two thousand corpses were left behind at Guangcheng Pass, which revealed the terrifying lethality of crossbows at Guangcheng Pass.

Not long after, Cao Cao led the army to Guangcheng Pass. Looking at the dim Guangcheng Pass in the night, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a sense of crisis in his heart.

No matter what Cao Cao thought in advance, he never thought that he would send someone to sneak in and deceive the door, but they would be shot dead with a crossbow before he opened the door. Now Cao Cao couldn't help but worry about Cao Ren who had cheated the door before. .

"It's Cao Cao who came from outside!"

Not long after, two lights were lit on Guangcheng Pass. In the lights, Zhu Wei put his hands behind his back, and looked at Cao Cao outside the pass with a light smile. Naturally, there were words delivered to Zhu Wei by a messenger with a loud voice.

"Oh, it turns out that Qian Tanghou is here in person, which surprised me a little! It seems that Qian Tanghou already knows the reason for coming here!"

When Cao Cao saw Zhu Wei, he was really surprised. He didn't know why Zhu Wei was here. He never thought that Zhu Wei would be waiting for him here. Seeing the dark scene of Guangcheng's gate, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling suspicious Could this be Zhu Wei's suspicions?

Could it be that Zhu Wei happened to be going to Xiangyang, but was blocked by himself here?

So at this time Guangcheng Pass might still only have the original [-] garrisons brought by Sun Jing and a small number of personal guards brought by Zhu Wei. Perhaps Guangcheng Pass at this time is just playing tricks.

Cao Cao really didn't want to believe that Zhu Wei could actually see through his sneak attack strategy and would lead his army to wait for him here. If that were the case, then Cao Ren, who had deceived the pass before, would be in danger.

But in Cao Cao's heart, he was still faintly uneasy, he didn't understand why this happened.

"That's right, Mr. Cao came here thousands of miles from Hulao. It's a pity that Mr. Cao's plan may come to nothing. I have already deployed thousands of troops here. I just wait for Mr. Cao to come to the door on his own!"

Zhu Wei seemed to be bluffing, and this remark made Cao Cao feel that Zhu Wei was fooling around. In fact, there are not many soldiers and horses here.

So Cao Cao secretly signaled Guo Jia and Cheng Yu behind him, hoping that they could give some advice, and then also signaled that the army was ready to attack Guangcheng Pass at any time. If Zhu Wei really just happened to pass by, then this battle can win Zhu Wei, this Luoyang The battle is over...
