The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 356 The opposite of Confucianism echoes each other

While the fierce street fighting was going on in the city, Liu Shao also brought his troops to the outskirts of the official camp.There were only a small number of sentries standing guard. It seemed that the spies were right. There were indeed not many defenders in the camp.

He let the troops spread out and put on a charging posture. He wanted to rush into the camp in one go and occupy the camp of the official army.If he used the food, grass and ammunition in the camp for his own use, he would not return to the city of Zhuojun. He could see that Yuan Hongyang was not a capable person, and he would die sooner or later.

He wanted to return to his hometown, Leling, with weapons and equipment. As long as Yuan Hongyang's banner did not fall, he would lead a large number of officers and troops to Zhuojun.

He has time to develop his own power. Qingzhou soldiers are still strong in fighting power. He is confident that as long as he pretends to be strong enough, he will be able to pull up a strong fighting force within a year.Confucianism is prevalent in Qingzhou, and there are still complaints about Liu Bian's behavior of suppressing Confucianism and admiring strange and obscene skills.

As long as he guides him well, he can get help from a large number of Confucian scholars, so that he can make Qingzhou his base camp.Echoing Yuan Hongyang's Jizhou, the land of the two states, with hundreds of thousands of troops, was qualified to compete with the Han Dynasty.

Without the sea transportation between Qingzhou and Jizhou, it will also be a heavy development for Dahan's economy.The wealthiest households in the world, Jiuju Guanzhong are not just talk.

As long as the sea transportation is cut off, the food and commodities from the south can only enter Guanzhong by land transportation, which will greatly increase both time-consuming and cost, and I am afraid that these people will also rise up to rebel.

"Hurry up and prepare to attack!"

With the sound of a horn, Liu Shao took the lead and rushed to the officer's camp with his men.The sentinels on the outskirts had already retreated into the camp, and Liu Shao's people were everywhere.

Although the wooden fence of the camp prevented the cavalry from charging, Liu Shao's cavalry was equipped with a grapple. As long as they threw the grapple up and urged the horses to pull down the wall, they could step on the joint camp.

When he was less than fifty steps away from the camp, flames suddenly shot out from the wall, and the cavalry beside Liu Shao fell in pieces.There were also tongues of flames spraying from the surrounding soil pockets, and his own cavalry seemed to be harvested, and pieces of people and horses were killed in pieces.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Shao was stunned on the spot.Before he could react, a large number of cavalry, no less than ten thousand people, rushed out from the main gate of the camp and cut his cavalry troops apart.Under the protection of his personal guards, he tried to break through the siege, but failed several times. He was driven to the slope by the officers and soldiers. More machine guns started shooting in the forest behind him. He had brought 2 yuan with him. More than half of the men and horses were dead or wounded before they even touched the camp wall.

That fire-breathing repeating gun was terrifying, with a frighteningly fast rate of fire and great power. Even the horses were shot with scars the size of bowls, and no one could stand up when hit.

The blood gathered into a stream, flowing down the hillside, staining a large area of ​​land red.

Liu Shao hurriedly shouted: "Don't mess up! Let's rush down together, and with the impact of the horses, we will be able to break through the encirclement."

So he turned his horse's head and led his soldiers to charge down the hillside.Waiting for them are more than 20 neatly arranged machine guns, and every time they spray, they will take away a large number of people.It only takes a few breaths to cross the short slope of more than 30 meters, but the slope is too narrow, and my troops can only charge in a row of a dozen people, and they need to keep a distance to allow the cavalry behind to charge up.

This gave the machine gun a chance to harvest, and the hillside was full of horses and human corpses, which had hindered the charge of the cavalry behind.In desperation, Liu Shao could only let his men break out in all directions.The cavalry in the east broke through the encirclement, turned their horses and were about to come back to rescue them, but were besieged and killed by the fine cavalry of the officers and soldiers lying in ambush.

"It's over, it's over." Liu Shao said sadly.

His personal guard said: "General, don't be discouraged, we will protect you and charge again."

After finishing speaking, he led everyone to charge down the hillside. This time they were determined to die, and they really let them make a breakthrough.Liu Shao clapped his horse and fled south, not daring to turn his head.

Lieutenant Li Shun asked his men to chase after him, while he stayed where he was and directed the machine guns to shoot.Although this kind of machine gun shoots fast, it has poor heat dissipation, and needs water to cool down after shooting for a while.It was shooting indiscriminately just now, but now some machine guns have jammed due to the overheating of the barrels. The rebels on the hillside seized the opportunity, quickly broke through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, and fled in all directions.

The cavalry led by Captain Gu Hu who pursued and killed Liu Shao were also killed by the rebels who followed, and the angry general Xiang Zhiye led the rest of the cavalry to pursue them.

The fighting in the city also began to die down, and the two sides were building fortifications to confront each other.The news of the defeat of Liu Shao's troops attacking the battalion has been passed to Du Yu. He asked his men to build fortifications, rely on the city wall to defend, and tear down the rest of the city wall so that his cavalry can enter the city to participate in the attack. The afternoon is the time for the general attack .

"General, the city wall has been opened enough for the cavalry to charge, and the weapons and ammunition brought from the rear have been distributed." Chi Taining cupped his hands.

Du Yu nodded, he always felt a lingering uneasiness in his heart.After a night of fighting last night, the rebels in the city suffered heavy casualties. Although the new army has retreated to the city, it is more for the convenience of supplies, not because they cannot continue to attack.

Du Yu patted Chi Taining on the shoulder and said, "Go down and rest. When the time is up, we will launch a general attack."

Du Yu returned to the headquarters in the private house, and wanted to discuss the detailed plan of the attack with his men.

As soon as Gang entered the door, he saw the general Gu Xun slapping the table and said: "My brother was killed by Liu Shao's men, and I want to avenge my brother. I will be the vanguard, and no one will rob me."

"It's okay to let you be the vanguard, but if you can't attack for a long time, I'm not welcome." The warlord Lu Han said.

Gu Xun clasped his fists and said: "Please keep pace with me, Pao Ze, and we will catch Yuan thief together. If I, Gu Xun, cannot break through the defense of the rebels, I will come and see you."

Lu Han said to him: "The elite cavalry under my command will also be dispatched to you."

The remaining school lieutenants and generals also expressed that they would hand over the elites under their command to Gu Xun, they were all made of corpses and blood, and they were still very emotional.

"Okay, have momentum. You come to be the vanguard, I will transfer all the machine guns to you, and the artillery will open the way for you regardless of the cost." Hearing Gu Xun's words, Du Yu was very satisfied.

"Thank you, General! I will serve my country to the death!"

Hearing Du Yu's words, everyone regretted it, let alone Gu Xun, a strong general in the army.Even if a groom leads the troops, they can break through the rebels' defenses.

Du Yu continued: "Go and inform General Yang that an attack will be launched one hour after lunch."
