Han counter current

These years, neither Chen Feng nor Gongsun Xu gave up their search for Tianxiang cardamom. Last year, Gongsun Xu got some news. After consulting Chen Feng, he sent Gongsun Ba and a dozen Gongsun family children , and another two hundred elite troops went to the Western Regions.

It took more than a year, and there were more than 200 people when they went there. When they came back, there was only one Gongsunba who was seriously injured, but he still got the Tianxiang Cardamom.

More than 30 days ago, there was another news from Meiji that Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were dispensing medicine. They were [-]% sure to wake up Gongsunyue, but they needed Chen Feng's nod.

After Gongsun Xu got the news, he quickly ordered the espionage officers sent to Sima Yi's army to do it, and then there were rumors that the emperor died, Liu Bei wanted to seize Yuxi to ascend the throne, and Sima Yi tried to usurp the throne.

All of this was a plan conspired by Chen Feng and Gongsun Xu. At the beginning, Sima Yi bowed his head to Gongsun Xu because he wanted to use Gongsun Xu's power to gain a respite, but while using Gongsun Xu, he also It was also used by Gongsun Xu.

Who would have imagined that Gongsun Xu would have such skill and courage. Although he allowed Sima Yi to break through successfully, he also placed a spy around Sima Yi at the same time, in order to drive Sima Yi into the abyss at the right time.

Chen Feng didn't want the war in the north to continue to be delayed, so even though the four northern states hadn't recovered from the trauma of the war, he still mobilized a large army to go south, in order to cull Cao Cao's last living force.

"We can't wait any longer. Cao Chun and Cao Zhang's troops have been wiped out, Cao Cao's foreign aid no longer exists, and the morale of the enemy army in the city has reached its lowest point. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our army.

At present, Wen Yuan is commanding troops to resist the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Sima Yi. It is rumored that Zhuge Liang, the adviser next to Liu Bei, is also a hero. If he joins hands with Sima Yi, I am afraid that Wen Yuan will be plotted against.

Therefore, we must resolve this war as soon as possible, defeat Chen Liu, and kill Cao Jun, and then the army will go south with the momentum of the victory, and wipe out Liu Bei's troops in one fell swoop. "

Chen Feng's face showed a dignified look. Although he has the advantage now, he has indeed put Cao Cao on a dead end, but there are too many variables in this world, especially, his opponents are heroes in troubled times like Cao Cao and Liu Bei .

Things change later, Cao Cao is not easy to mess with, and so is Liu Bei. Once they find a chance to cooperate, Chen Feng is worried that the situation he has arranged for many years will be destroyed.

"What my lord said is true. Cao Cao is very talented, and his ability to command troops and horses is beyond our comparability. Taking advantage of the enemy's weaker opportunity, our army should attack with all its strength.

Otherwise, once Cao Cao is allowed to mobilize the remaining troops and give them the courage to break the boat, our army will probably pay a high price if they want to break through Chenliu and kill Cao Cao.

Such a price is very difficult for our army to bear. Liu Bei's army is stationed in Xinye, and it is possible to go north at any time. Although Wenyuan has [-] soldiers and horses, most of them are slaves. Although their combat effectiveness is not weak, they can only fight. Tailwind.

My lord, according to what the general sees, our army can send slaves to attack the enemy's four gates at the same time, so that the enemy can feel the overwhelming momentum of our army's main force. In this way, there is a chance to defeat Chen Liu in a short time. "

There is nothing to say about Gongsun Xu's talent. Although Chen Feng never ranked his generals, Zhang Liao and the others knew that in terms of status, talent, and background, Gongsun Xu was well-deserved No.1. The most reliable general.

At this juncture, Gongsun Xu naturally has the most say. After all, Chen Feng is only good at coordinating the overall situation. He is not good at military affairs, especially the siege battle with hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides.

Everyone else in the tent nodded, saying that the opportunity must not be missed, these generals or advisers all understand the importance of timing, keeping Cao Cao is always a disaster.

Pang Tong and Mu Fou next to Chen Feng looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of heat and desire in each other's eyes. After all, it was the last battle against Cao Cao, and they also wanted to make a name for themselves.

"My lord, before I came here, the military adviser told Cao Cao that if Cao Cao resisted, he could follow the example of Liu Bang's strategy against Xiang Yu in the past. This would surely break the morale of his army."

Pang Tong quickly expressed his thoughts, which Jia Xu had told him many times, and he had to bring it up at this juncture.

Zhang He and other generals did not show their approval after hearing this. After all, everyone thinks about problems in different ways.

"Although the strategy of being besieged on all sides is good, it may not be effective against Cao Jun. As far as I know, the remaining Cao Jun in the city are all old subordinates who have followed Cao Cao for many years. Such small tricks must not be able to deceive Cao Cao."

Zhang He doesn't need to worry about the face of Pang Tong and others when he speaks, he just discusses the facts, after all, his ability is also extraordinary.

"What General Zhang said is true. The Cao army in the city is indeed elite, but the people in the city are not necessarily so. The strategy of being besieged on all sides is mainly aimed at the people in the city, and then the elite Cao army."

Mu Fu quickly explained that it would not be so easy to dispel Cao Jun's morale, but if he could successfully dispel the recalcitrant will of the people in the city, it would be difficult for Cao Jun to get too much support from the people.

This is the purpose of the beleaguered plan. As long as the people in the city are unwilling to help Cao Jun, the next battle will be nothing more than a head-on fight. Chen Feng has the confidence to kill the enemy in the city.

Chapter 733

Outside Chenliu City, Gongsun Xu was commanding tens of thousands of troops to line up. The supreme commander Chen Feng rode on a horse and looked at the city wall, his eyes were full of fighting intent. Finally, after years of hard work, he drove Cao to a dead end.

Since the strategy of being besieged from all sides was used seven days ago, the hearts of the people in the city have been slackened, and most of them are unwilling to be involved in the flames of war. Although Cao Jun enforced military control to control the city, the people's hearts are not stable, and it is difficult for Cao Jun to obtain supplies.

Faced with such a predicament, Cao Cao made a decision that surprised everyone: anyone who is willing to be loyal to the Cao family, regardless of the army or civilians, will stay now, and those who are not willing can leave now.

Cao Cao's decision won some people's hearts in a short period of time. Many people who had been favored by the Cao family decided to stay and live with Cao Jun, but most of them left with their families.

On the surface, Cao Cao was breaking his own arm by doing this. After all, allowing so many people to leave, it was doomed that Cao Jun would not be able to obtain follow-up reinforcements.

But in fact, Cao Cao's decision was very wise.People can leave, but all food, grass and supplies are not allowed to be taken away. Lieutenants and soldiers can also leave, but armor and weapons must stay.

In other words, Cao Cao only let people leave, and the rest of the supplies or livestock remained in the city. In this way, a large amount of supplies were freed up in such a short period of time, enough to guarantee the needs of the remaining soldiers for three months.

The most important thing is that all the soldiers and civilians who are loyal to the Cao family are left behind. Cao Cao can confidently trust and appoint them. After eliminating internal unrest, the combat effectiveness of Cao's army has been greatly improved in a short period of time.

As for Chen Feng, after taking in tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, he had to allocate part of his troops to take care of them, and at the same time, part of his supplies to relieve them.

It can be said that Cao Cao did this to benefit himself at the expense of others, and Chen Feng had to do the same in order to win the hearts of the people in the north.In order to obtain the final victory, both sides are taking great risks.

Over the past few days, the northern border army attacked the city one after another, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the slave army was brought to the extreme. With the generals of various ministries personally supervising the battle, and Chen Feng watching under the banner of the commander, all the soldiers of the slave army did not dare to relax.

The tragic battle brought huge casualties to the northern border army. In just a few days, more than [-] slave soldiers were killed and injured, and they were forced to retreat for three days. The total number of casualties of Cao Jun's soldiers is estimated to be no less than [-].

In order to kill Cao Cao, Chen Feng didn't frown at such a high casualty rate.After all, those were just slave soldiers, even if they were all dead, Chen Feng didn't care.

"Command, continue to attack the city."

Looking at Cao Cao who was boosting morale on the tower, Chen Feng gave the order coldly.A few days ago, the slave army was killing the morale of Cao's army. Next, the elites of the northern border army came to the field. It was necessary for Chen Feng to let Cao Cao know what the elites of the northern border were.

The Tabai army commanded by Gongsun Xu is approaching the city wall under the cover of archers. In front of the Tabai army are two thousand selected slave troops. Gongsun Xu will not be so stupid as to use his elite to withstand the enemy's arrows .

On the ladder, Wang Shuang held the saber in his mouth, holding the ladder with one hand and carrying the shield with the other.He was picked out by Gongsun Xu and included in the ranks of the fallen soldiers. These days, Gongsun Xu entertained them with good food and drink, in order to play a role in this battle.

"Your name is Wang Shuang, right? I'm Gongsun Xu. I've sent someone to find your sister."

"General, please, my sister is innocent, please let her go."

"I know, your sister is innocent, but what about my sister? Isn't she innocent..."

The scene of the conversation with Gongsun Xu a few days ago flashed through his mind, and the ferocious look on Wang Shuang's face became more obvious.Gongsun Xu's meaning couldn't be clearer. Whether his sister can live or not depends on how Wang Shuang behaves.

For his own family and for himself, Wang Shuang must fight hard, even though he was once a member of Cao Jun, but now, he only lives for himself.

"kill,,,,,,"

Finally, when they were approaching the top of the city, the two Cao soldiers saw Wang Shuang, who was tall and burly, and stabbed them with two spears. Wang Shuang continued to climb up, and forced the two spears back with his shield.

Then, the ferocious Wang stepped hard on his feet, his whole body soared into the air, and the sword in his mouth flew to his right hand, and he just jumped onto the city wall.

The bloody and brutal hand-to-hand combat began. Wang Shuang was the first to climb up the tower, one person with one knife, just guarding the small piece of land behind him, just to make room for his comrades behind.

Dozens of Cao Jun rushed over, they wanted to kill Wang Shuang in the shortest possible time, but this nine-foot-tall man withstood all Cao Jun's attacks with his own strength.

The battles in the past few days have greatly consumed the physical strength of the Cao army's defenders, and the supplies for the defense of the city have also been exhausted. Otherwise, Wang Shuang would not be able to climb up so quickly. The [-] slaves played the greatest role. , It consumes the defenders' supplies and physical strength.

"attack,,,,,,"

Watching more and more dead soldiers climb up the tower, Gongsun Xu was no longer ambiguous, and went straight down to step on the white army elite to climb the city wall. At the same time, the crossbowmen approached the city wall and directly confronted the Cao army's archers on the tower. shoot.

"Unparalleled in battle,,,,,,"
