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

Chapter 54 Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark!
"We have already arrived, but seeing our heavy casualties, the other side is unwilling to send troops to die in vain, so we have been thinking of a way to cross the river!" Guo Jia said helplessly.

"What are our casualties?" Cao Cao asked.

"Forcibly crossing the river twice, the casualties were close to 2, and countless ships were destroyed..." Guo Jia looked grim.

"..."

Cao Cao stood up and looked at the map, lost in thought.

He never expected that the demonized weapon would be as tyrannical as the rumors said.

"How about the battle in the southwest?"

The battle reports from the southwest and the north came to Guo Jia's side first, and Guo Jia quickly replied: "My lord, before the battle in Jian'an City, Bai Qi killed four generals in a row, so that the morale was low. , There has been no attack for a long time!"

"As for Shi Xie in Jin'an City, he went to war directly and suffered heavy casualties. Shi Xie even planned to retreat!"

"Hmph! Backing off at the slightest loss is really a big deal! Death is not a pity!" Cao Cao snorted coldly and began to study the map.

In the big tent, it was unusually quiet.

As for Liu Bian, there was a lot of good news.

"My lord, your ingenuity really puts us to shame. The muskets and artillery you made are so powerful! Whether it's a war in the north or a war in the south, we have already won a complete victory before the war even started!" Huo Qubing held the wine glass. When you go up, you have to make a toast, and you don't forget to flatter him.

But... this is really not flattery, it's Huo Qubing's sincere words.

Liu Bian didn't have anything to explain, he smiled and said: "It's just a small trick, it's really not worth mentioning, so don't say more!"

"Is this still a small trick?"

Huo Qubing, Lu Bu, and Wang Lang were all shocked, almost speaking in unison.

With such a method, even a corner of peace can be worry-free.

"Looking at the current situation, it seems that I am too worried. Let Han Xin lead the Wujun army to go south to support, and leave the north to General Zheng and General Ran!" Liu Bian ordered while drinking.

Judging from the current situation, he really overestimated Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army at the beginning, and muttered about his own artillery and ships.

Now it seems that Cao Yuan's army may not be able to cross the river for a while, unless it crosses south. Therefore, it is more likely to cause trouble in the south than in the Yangtze River in the north.

"This subordinate understands that this subordinate respects the lord for a cup, and only hopes that the lord will rule the world as soon as possible, so that the people can enjoy peace and prosperity!" Lu Bu stepped forward and said.

"May the world be peaceful!" Liu Bian stood up to toast, and the others got up one after another.

"May the world be peaceful!"

……

After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao came back to his senses and ordered: "Guo Jia, you lead an army of 15 to continue stationing here and pretend that no one is allowed to cross the river until I order it. Join Zhou Yu's army and capture Jian'an City as soon as possible, only if we attack the city quickly and fight hand-to-hand, can we have a chance of winning!"

"The prime minister is wise, and the subordinates must live up to the prime minister's trust!"

The next day, the four armies of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Zhang Lu, and Ma Teng removed the 15 casualties and the [-] who stayed in Lujiang City as a cover-up, and the remaining [-] troops began to mobilize.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, Guo Jia began to block the news. Anyone who escaped would be killed on the spot, which caused panic among the people in Lujiang City.

……

On this day, the second half of the night was a bit cold.

Jian'an City, where Bai Qi lives, is peaceful, after all, this time is a good time for dreaming.

Jian'an is foggy today, and the visibility is only over 40 meters away, but the outside of Jian'an City is indeed unusually quiet, and it can even be described as terrifyingly quiet!

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, the drums of war sounded!
"Kill!"

The Jian'an city was full of flames, and the dark army began to attack the city. Because it was a foggy day, when the sentry on the top of the city saw the enemy, the opponent was less than 20 meters away from the city wall.

As the war drums beat, the army of princes led by Cao Cao, totaling 30 people, attacked Jian'an City from all sides.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

But before the other party climbed the city wall, the sound of musket guns rang out immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qi stood up slowly, with a playful look on his face.

Yesterday, a counselor who was familiar with the weather in Jian'an told him that there would be fog outside Jian'an City this morning, and it was the best time to get close to Jian'an City and attack in one fell swoop.

With such advice, he naturally did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the army to stand by at any time on the city wall. Sure enough, the enemy army arrived as expected.

The screams, guns and guns resounded outside Jian'an city!

"what happened?"

Cao Cao was supervising the battle not far away, and he couldn't help standing up when he heard Liu Bian's weapon was fired shortly after the drums rang.

"Reporting back to the Prime Minister, the other party has already made preparations and is waiting for us to attack the city!" A spy came to report.

Cao Cao knew he had lost his composure, so he took a deep breath and sat back, "Yeah, I know, you go down first!"

He kept himself as calm as possible!

At this time, he was already ready to launch, so he could only wait for the news from the front.

What's more, they have already grasped the opportunity at this time, so naturally there is no reason to retreat!
"boom!"

"boom!"

At this time, the loud noise accompanied by the flames was particularly dazzling outside the Jian'an city wall.

This is the thunderbolt cannon made by Zheng Chenggong using his own experience. It is best to use it at this time. After all, the artillery is suitable for long distances, the musket needs to be filled, and the enemy is too dense.

The sound of guns, screams, and the smell of burning permeated the vicinity of Jian'an City this morning, and it could not dissipate for a long time.

Cao Cao's army rushed wave after wave, regardless of the consequences. Bai Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, was naturally blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth.

Gradually, the sky gradually becomes brighter.

Under Jian'an City, the bones have piled up into mountains!
It's really a one-shot job!
The fog did not dissipate for a long time, but the burnt smell in the air made people feel nauseous.

The first wave of siege failed, and the army led by Cao Cao withdrew to the rear.

"Report to the prime minister, the North Gate lost 110 people!"

"Report to the prime minister, Ximen has lost 92 people!"

"Report to the Prime Minister, the South Gate lost 1 people!"

"Report to the Prime Minister, the East Gate lost 500 people!"

It was just a surprise attack, and the casualties exceeded 3. Cao Cao looked very ugly.

He thought that this plan was foolproof and he would definitely win Jian'an City, but it turned out that the current situation was indeed the case.

"Prime Minister, you still can't get in despite such a strong attack. What are you going to do? I, Jiang Dongerlang, didn't come here to die!" Zhou Yu looked a little ugly.

It was the army he led that was in charge of the south gate. As a result, the casualties were so heavy that he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

Cao Cao glanced sideways at Zhou Yu and was about to explode, but when he thought that Liu Bian's blindness was the key, he took a deep breath and said, "Why does the governor need to talk like this? How to attack Jian'an City is the most important thing right now, otherwise the barbarians I'm afraid Zhou Liubian will be out of control!"

"Now we are in chaos at the first battle, and the only one who is happy is that Yizhou Liu Bian!"
