There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Tao Ying, the commander-in-chief of the pottery.

Guo Jia quietly valued the potter, and said: "You are doomed this time. After half a month, no matter how many virtuous officials and generals you have, no one will be able to help you! Do you know?"

The pottery merchant ignored him, but took out a roll of bamboo slips, unfolded him gently, then picked up a pen, and stared blankly at the birth of the bamboo slips.

Guo Jiaqi asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Write a letter to someone who can help me."

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this.

"People who can help you? Will there be such a person in this world? Where is the high-powered magi?"

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and said: "You people have a misunderstanding. Whenever you think of asking for help, you always look to those experts, sages, and able men. You don't know that those who can help us are often the closest relatives around us. , and sometimes even women.”

"Women? Besides helping you with that, what else can women help you with?"

The pottery merchant gave Guo Jia a blank look, and was too lazy to talk to him.

There is no way to communicate with this kind of guy who doesn't know how to respect women.

After thinking hard for a long time, the potter couldn't come up with any good words. In the end, he could only write four big characters on the bamboo slips:

"Daughter-in-law, save me!"

The letter from the pottery merchant was rushed back to Diaochan in Pengcheng's mansion by Babaili.

After receiving the letter, Diao Chan called all the female relatives in the mansion to discuss without saying a word.

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi slapped the table angrily, and said: "How dare the two armies of Cao and Liu dare to deceive people like this? Join forces to deal with our husband, if you don't agree, sister, I will immediately put on my horse and go to the front line tomorrow to help my husband fight against the enemy. "

Diao Chan smiled and said: "Sister Lu is the best at martial arts among us. You can go to the front to support the army on behalf of us. My sister is relieved, but now I need to solve the food and grass problem for my husband for a while."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head towards Mi Zhen and Zhen Mi.

Mi Zhen stood up and said: "I'll go home now, and ask my brother and the others for help."

Diao Chan nodded, and said: "Sister is so understanding of righteousness, it's admirable, but with the financial resources of the Mi family alone, I'm afraid it may not be able to help my husband through this difficulty, we still need..."

Yuan Wan said: "Prime Minister Tao asked me to sell Yuan's property some time ago, and I have basically disposed of it, but I also kept a hand, and I left informants and channels in Qingzhou, so that I can transfer the money from these properties at any time. To purchase military supplies and provide them to Prime Minister Tao, the distance from Qingzhou to Qufu is much shorter than that from Jinling City.”

Zhen Mi also said to Diao Chan: "Little sister is also willing to go back to Hebei, and borrow food from the nearest Ao warehouses of Zhen's family and the cooperative gentry to support and support Prime Minister Tao."

Diao Chan sized them up and down, her beautiful eyes flashed with gratitude, but also with deep emotion.

"Sisters, although I don't have the qualifications, I still thank you again for my husband, thank you for helping him through this crisis."

Yuan Wan stood up and said: "Sister, what are you talking about? Even if there is no him, just based on your relationship with us, we will naturally help in this matter."

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Don't look at us as women, our combined strength is enough to reach an army of [-]."

Lu Lingqi said anxiously: "It's not too late, we have to split up quickly."

Two days later, the armies of Cao Cao and Sanliu began to attack the various fortresses where the Tao Shang army was located.

Regardless of other places, Qufu City alone is the most important and the most important.

The potters put on their clothes and went to the city to preside over the battle in person.

The city of Qufu City is not high, so all the soldiers and horses cannot be stationed in the city, so that they cannot exert their full power.

On the contrary, going out of the city to face the battle can give full play to the powerful advantages of one's own arms.

It was Cao Cao's main force who was responsible for the main attack on Qufu City.

After Cao Jun's vanguard death squad, it was Cao Jun's personal guards, the lion and tiger army led by Dian Wei, who were in charge of holding down the formation.

Chapter 823 Total War

In ancient siege warfare, the defending side had to set up a stronghold, not just because of mutual support with the main city, but because it was impossible for every city to be completely surrounded by walls.

In the impression of many people, the city and the buildings and residents in the city are completely surrounded by the city wall, but this is not true.

The development of human beings determines that the size of the city is always changing with each passing day. No matter whether it is expanding the scale of cultivated land every year or the flow of population back and forth, no city can be completely surrounded by city walls.

The Great Wall didn't encircle the whole of China, it just set up a network of pinch cards on a certain level of arteries.

A city completely surrounded by walls only exists in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1 to 13.

Therefore, the important places around Qufu City or the places that were not protected were naturally protected by pottery merchants.

Therefore, the coalition forces of Sanliu and Cao Cao naturally divided their forces to attack the main city and those affiliated Dazhai.

The main force of Cao Jun was also responsible for attacking the potter's main formation.

The ones rushing to the forefront are the death squads of Cao Cao's army. These vanguard soldiers may not be the strongest, but they are certainly not the worst. Those who can enter this battalion must have sufficient physical strength, the spirit of not fearing death, and The courage to be willing to be cannon fodder for the people in the rear and so on.

To put it bluntly, they are a group of soldiers with a sarcastic halo and no nanny to feed them, they deserve the respect of the soldiers of the three armies.

Seeing Cao Jun's vanguard rushing towards his own city, the pottery merchant turned to Xu Rong and said, "Let all the ministries start to follow orders."

"Promise." Xu Rong clasped his fists at the pottery merchant, and then ordered the horn soldiers to blow their horns.

The sound of the thick copper horn resounded throughout the sky, echoing in the eardrums of everyone in the city.

After the horn sounded, two cavalrymen appeared faintly from the east and west sides.

The one in the east was led by Zhang Liao himself, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, while the one in the west was led by A Fei, who temporarily replaced Zhao Yun, with the Jinling White Horse Army. The two armies headed towards Cao Jin together.

Cao Cao personally supervised the battle from the rear. When he saw cavalry rushing out from both sides of the city, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "What a Tao boy, he actually placed soldiers and horses outside the city. He really had prepared for it a long time ago."

Just as he was speaking, Ah Fei and Zhang Liao split into two groups, and they had already rushed into Cao Jun's death squad camp.

As the name suggests, the Death Squad is a team that rushes to die, and the team that goes to death on the pole will naturally have no higher combat power than the Jinling White Horse Army and Wolf Cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them!" Ah Fei shouted loudly.

Following Ah Fei's loud shout, the Jinling White Horse Army began to bend their bows and shoot arrows at Cao Jun's vanguard death squad.

The arrow rain of the White Horse Army is not very powerful, nor is it very dense, but the victory is because they are archers, so they are highly flexible.Strong mobility and many tactical changes.

The reason why Ah Fei was able to command the Jinling White Horse Army instead of Zhao Yun was because he had been in Zhao Yun's army for a while, and there was not much talk among his brothers, and Zhao Yun also selflessly taught him the skills of leading troops.

Now the potter named him the deputy general of the White Horse Army.

The arrow rain of the White Horse Army was not intended to cause much damage to Cao Jun, but to disrupt the enemy's front line and make it easier for one's own soldiers to charge in.

After a burst of arrows, sure enough, a gap was opened in the flank of the Death Squad.
