Great Wei Nengchen

Cao Cao's guess was correct, they were just feigning an attack, and the real killer was behind them. General Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan commanded [-] armored elites, and they were lying in ambush on the other side of the river. As long as they received news, they would kill them immediately and conquer the white horse in one fell swoop. , and then use this as a pedal to take down Guandu, march into Xuchang, and completely defeat Cao Jun!

This strategy of "strike the east and attack the east" was set up by Yuan Shao himself. It is said that it was opposed by counselors Tian Feng and Ju Shou. The two believed that Cao Cao was treacherous by nature and would not be easily fooled. !

The two sides quarreled for a long time in the big tent about whether to send troops to the white horse. In the end, Yuan Shao overwhelmed others and forcibly passed the plan. Now it seems that the lord's vision is more accurate!

"Report! --Cao Jun has more than [-] troops, all of them have gone to support Yanjin, and there is not a single soldier near Baima to come to rescue!"

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, Yuan Jun killed and wounded tens of thousands of soldiers, and finally waited for a good news, scouting rangers came to report that there were no enemy troops nearby, Cao Cao seemed to be fooled!

"Great, this plan was successful. After conquering the white horse, we all have credit for it. After all, we have performed a big show for two days...Come on, send a signal!"

Hearing the spy report, Ma Yan and Zhang Kai were overjoyed, and immediately sent people to light three piles of fire. When the fire was raging, they threw some wet firewood on them. In an instant, thick smoke billowed straight into the sky!

"Hoo!...Hoo!...Hoo!"

...................................................

"Hebei sons and lords, the time has come for you to make contributions. Cross the Yellow River, capture the white horse, win glory and wealth, and fight today...kill!"

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhang Jai and Gao Lan had long hoped to see through it. After seeing the thick smoke rising, they immediately led [-] elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River. For a while, hundreds of thousands of sails competed for the river, and the soldiers shook their oars and brandished their weapons. Pounced like a cheetah, they are bound to win the white horse on the other side!

Chapter 836 How about falling into a trap?

"Kill!--Kill! Kill!"

Thick smoke rose into the sky, ambushes broke out everywhere, and under the command of Zhang Jai and Gao Lan, [-] elite soldiers quickly crossed the Yellow River by using large boats, giant rafts, and pontoon bridges. With momentum, charge towards Baima City!

At this moment, together with the team of Ma Yan and Zhang Kai, Yuan Jun has invested 8 horses. Looking around, the flags are like a sea, the people and horses are like a tide, and the shouts of killing are earth-shattering. According to the reason, Yuan Jun should go all out and quickly attack the city wall That's right, but the progress of the war was completely unexpected?

The offensive started relatively smoothly. Under the command of the generals, Yuan Jun soldiers filled the trenches, removed the antlers, and crossed the moat with rafts. Under the cover of a large number of archers, some of them erected ladders, held shields, and climbed up the city wall. The other part carried thick wooden stakes, chanted slogans, and slammed into the city gate!

Looking at the defenders of Whitehorse City, they seemed to be panicked and failed to organize a strong counterattack. They just shot some loose arrows, and there was no movement. The enemy was allowed to approach the city wall, but after a while, the situation took a turn for the worse...

"Swoosh!--swoosh!--swoosh!"

On the wall of Baima city, a large group of archers suddenly poured out, several rows in front and behind, bent bows and set arrows, and shot and killed quickly. On the body, facing such a dense crowd, it is really a hit, a big roll...

"Ron!--Ron! Ron!"

Yuan Jun under the city was unlucky. Some shot into hedgehogs, some smashed their brains, and some were directly crushed into meatloaf. The casualties were heavy, blood flowed into rivers, and the remaining soldiers were hard to fight, like water breaking a bank Generally, quickly collapsed...

"Beat the battle drums, reorganize the formation, all the soldiers, prepare to fight again... The supervisory team will step forward, and those who dare to retreat - kill without mercy!"

The first wave of attack failed, and some troops were damaged. Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan were not discouraged. On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly. It is normal to encounter some setbacks. Like a torrential river, one after another, it goes on and on!

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Kill!--Kill! Kill!"

..............................

On the battlefield, the drums are like thunder, and the sky is screaming. Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan are wearing heavy armor, holding a sword, standing in the place where the arrows intersect, and personally commanding the subordinates to attack the city. Not to mention, under the sword, facing such a strict military law, the generals of Yuan Jun shouted slogans, marched forward bravely, and launched waves of attacks, with the potential to be immortal!

The problem is, no matter how hard Yuan Jun's soldiers tried and how much sacrifice they made, Baima City still remained unmoved, like a weak light. Like kerosene, keep adding it in and slowly consume it...

......................................................................................................

The two sides have been fighting since the early morning until the sun is westward, and they still can't tell the winner. Looking around, the blood on the battlefield is flowing like a river, and the corpses are piled up like a mountain. Even the river is dyed dark red, which shows the large number of casualties. up!

However, because the offensive and defensive forces are different, the ratio of casualties is also different. Facing the high city walls and strong fortifications, Yuan Jun has to sacrifice five or six soldiers to replace Cao Jun alone. This business really lost money !

The war situation has developed to this point, and Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan also feel that something is wrong. They are commanding elite troops, well-trained, well-equipped, and the soldiers are also selected warriors. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are second only to Yuan Shao's tent. The personal soldiers - 'Euphorbis warriors' are far better than other troops in Hebei!

Such an elite soldier attacked suddenly. After attacking for half a day, not a single city wall was breached, but tens of thousands of people were lost. In addition to the one who lured the enemy to sacrifice, Yuan Jun suffered a total of [-] casualties under the small White Horse City. The soldiers far exceeded their expectations, and also aroused the suspicion of the generals?

White Horse Prefect-Liu Yan, well-read poetry and books, born in Xiaolian, is relatively weak, good at managing people's livelihood, appeasing the people, he is a good official, but he is very ordinary in fighting, and he can kill a few thieves, Commanding thousands of troops is not enough. Many people advised Cao Cao to change to a brave general to garrison Baima City, but unfortunately they were all rejected!

Now it seems that Cao Jun has a good command, good dispatch, airtight defense, and firm control of the battlefield situation. Such exquisite military skills are by no means developed overnight. Liu Yan, but another mastermind behind the scenes!

Furthermore, there were also problems with the defenders on the city. The number exceeded expectations, and their fighting skills were extremely strong. Several times, Yuan Jun organized death squads, and they had already climbed up the city wall. The 'Death Squad' is suppressed, such brave and skilled soldiers are by no means ordinary soldiers!

"The army has been unable to attack for a long time, there must be fraud in it, we have to be more careful, otherwise, there will be no place to die!"

Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan looked at each other, feeling a chill in their hearts. Anything can happen on the battlefield. The problem is, they dare not retreat easily. Once the first battle fails, it will be bad for their lord Confession!

"At this point, the only option is to fight to the death. Brother Yuntai sits in the middle army and directs the overall situation. Brother Yu personally leads the team to attack once. How about taking the opportunity to check the reality of the enemy army?"

"That's fine, swords are ruthless, brother put on double armor, and bring some more guards, attack if you can, and return if you can't, let's find a better strategy!"

Zhang Jai and Gao Lan have been together for many years, and they are like brothers and sisters. They immediately made a division of labor. One led the team to rush and spy on the truth, while the other took command and arranged the rear. !

..........................................................................................

"Long! ... Long! Long!"

Soldiers and horses are like tides, fortified cities are like stubborn rocks, let the wind and waves blow, I stand still, unexpectedly, Yuan Jun's attack failed again, and the men and horses retreated like a tide, but, finally, the opponent was defeated Check out the facts!

"Brother, please look at this thing. The defenders of the city are not ordinary people, but the elite soldiers of the Cao army. We must make a plan early, otherwise, tens of thousands of soldiers will be ghosts from other lands!"

Zhang Jaw retreated back, the armor was covered with blood, and there were a few spiked arrows stuck in it. Fortunately, he had a double layer of heavy armor, but only a little bit of flesh was injured. In addition, he was holding something tightly in his hand - a waist card. !

The feudal lords are vying for hegemony, fish and dragons are mixed, and the army is as numerous as a cow's hair. To distinguish each other, one is to look at the flags in the army. Every general has a big flag, which is unique in design and must not be mixed. Hold it up high, and everyone on the battlefield will know--Ghost Face Xiao Lang is here!

Secondly, look at the armor and clothing. The princes of the ten directions in the world, and an army of more than one million, cannot wear the same armor. This is determined by the financial and material resources of the princes. Helmets, heart mirrors, cowhide boots, spears, knives, shields, bows and arrows, daggers...everything is available!

The equipment of those second-rate army soldiers is much worse, only cowhide armor, white wooden guns, notched blunt knives, rattan shields... In addition, there will be text marks on the front and back of the soldiers' clothing, For example, "Cao, Yuan, Liu, Sun, Zhang... are clear at a glance and easy to distinguish!

However, flags can be exchanged, clothing can be covered, and there is one thing that cannot be counterfeited, and that is the waist badge. Every soldier has one and put it in the safest place. It records the soldier's age, hometown, position, The types of arms...all are clear, just take a look at them, and you will know their identities immediately!

The waist card is a proof of identity. Fighting on the battlefield is extremely cruel, flooding, burning, stones...everything is used. After the war, there are often corpses everywhere, bloody and bloody, and it is impossible to tell who is who. According to the record, the remains are separated and sent back to their hometown for burial. Therefore, every soldier cherishes his waist card very much!

The waist cards in Zhang Ja's hands were obtained from the corpses after he beheaded the soldiers of Cao Jun. The writing on them was very clear:

Zheng Shu--Yanzhou-Chenliu County, 32 years old, tiger and leopard rider-Zuoying-second-class soldier, good at using spears, bows and arrows!

Tang Chao--Xuzhou-Guangling County, 27 years old, tiger and leopard rider-Zuoying-first-class soldier, good at using hammers and shields!

Wang Bao - from Xuzhou - Pengcheng County, 25 years old, tiger and leopard rider - Zhongying - first-class soldier, good at using giant halberds, bows and arrows!

........................................................................

According to the waist badge, the hometown, age, and official position of these soldiers are not important, but there are three words that make Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan feel chills-"Tiger and Leopard Rider!"

Everyone knows that there are many elite soldiers in the Cao army, and the two most powerful troops are: one is the black armored cavalry, galloping vertically and horizontally, invincible in the world, and the other is the tiger and leopard cavalry, who are loyal and can show the sun and the moon!

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" - Xiangfu's personal guards, according to the weaving, are divided into five battalions: front, back, left, right, and middle, with a total of more than 2 people. They are well-equipped and well-trained, and their food and salary are three times that of ordinary soldiers. , the most important thing is: the whole army only obeys Cao Cao, the order is issued, go through fire and water, go forward bravely, even if they are asked to enter the palace to kill the king, they will not hesitate at all, it can be called the most loyal army!

Now that the "Tiger and Leopard Riders" appear in Baima City, it means that the strategy of "Shengdong Hit the East" has failed. Cao Jun has already set a trap, using the strong city defenses to continuously consume Yuan Jun's vital strength. Besides, so vicious The strategy, the superb level of command, the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes... Nine out of ten is Cao Cao!
