Three Kingdoms: God of Swallowing

However, the opponent is Cao Cao!

"Pay close attention to Cao Jun's movements, and report immediately if there is any change!"

"Yes!"

The heralds retreat.

In the camp, Tao Qian, Ye Tian and Pengcheng's main generals were all there. No one was happy when they heard the news. They were all sullen, obviously not optimistic about this battle!

After all, time is too short.

Xuzhou has a large population, and the number of soldiers can definitely be guaranteed, but it takes time and financial resources to recruit soldiers.Even if the financial resources are sufficient, an untrained army will only be reduced to cannon fodder!

"The enemy is at hand, and we have no way out. The lives of millions of people in Pengcheng are in our hands. Once the city is destroyed, the old parents, wives, and children of you all will be buried under Cao Jun's iron hoof. Millions of souls, we... have no choice but to fight with our backs!" Guo Jia's fierce eyes swept across the crowd, and his heavy words came out again: "This is a test from the heavens for me in Pengcheng. I, Guo Fengxiao, never thought of living in a corner of Xuzhou. What is Cao Jun! We are all people who want to fight for the world! Even Cao Jun can't win, how can we talk about the world!"

"Defend me in Xuzhou, kill Cao thief!"

"Defend me in Xuzhou, kill Cao thief!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

……

dong dong dong...

The war drum sounded like spring thunder in the open field, piercing the silence of the sky, and startled the sleeping birds in the surrounding mountains and forests. One battalion after another battalion sounded, and in an instant, the drums of the battalions more than ten miles away were beating. The sound, the entire hills and mountains seemed to be awakened by the dull and huge drum sound.

Then there was the sound of war horses neighing, armor clattering, thick and heavy footsteps one after another, orbital bangs, and 10,000+ cavalry moved, pouring out from different camps, and the four camps suddenly rang out. In one piece, the sound of horns, horseshoes, footsteps, armor rubbing, and swords clashing, as if a heavy hammer hit the ground, the momentum was extremely huge.

In an instant, tens of thousands of troops had gathered in the open space outside the camp. Two drums passed through, and the three armies had assembled. Looking around, the field directly in front of the gate of the camp below the hill was densely packed with One piece, full of human heads.

This is Cao Jun's camp.

After a day of rest, it's time to show your fangs to the world.

There are 12 troops dispatched this time, all of them are elite, all of them have bright armor, spears, swords and halberds, and the cold light is shining, and they are high-spirited.

Chariots, cavalry, and infantry have formed their own formations, corps commanders, centurions, Xiaoqi, Zhechong captains, partial generals, vanguard generals, Zhonglang generals, former generals, right generals, left generals, chariot generals, and hussar generals , General, etc., all the generals from small to large took their positions, leading their own phalanx, and waiting for the commander's orders.

Coach Cao Cao, military adviser Xun Yu and others stepped onto the Yuantai to start the general ceremony.

"Soldiers, today is the time for us to put down the thieves and make meritorious deeds. Use your courage and fighting power to subdue the enemy, go forward bravely, and kill the Tao thieves!"

"Go forward bravely and kill the Tao thief!" Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and the burning blood boiled in the army formation.

"Let's go!" Cao Cao gave an order, and the army began to move quickly.

Comrade Lao Cao has never forgotten the vengeance of killing his father. Now that the time is ripe, he doesn't need to bear it anymore.

The first battle: capture Xuzhou.

The two generals Xu Chu and Xu Huang fought in the vanguard, leading [-] chariots, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry at the front, followed by tens of thousands of infantry and archers, followed by the commander-in-chief and Xiahou Dun at the rear. Leading the second wave of siege army.

[-] infantry guarded the grain and grass, and the [-] army quickly dispatched.

Pengcheng is the first city after entering Xuzhou. It is also a military defense city. It is the political, economic and cultural center of Xuzhou. As important.

..

Chapter 27 Battle against Cao Cao

Moreover, dignitaries and merchants lived in the city, and the rural families outside the city did not have much food surplus, and most of the food produced every year had to be handed over, so that the city hoarded grain, grass, population, weapons, workshops and businesses in the surrounding area, so to speak. Occupying a city is equivalent to occupying an area here, and you can also use the hoarding in the city to support the war and replenish yourself to expand yourself. In ancient times, the revolutionary policy of encircling the city with the countryside was not feasible.

This is also when the two countries are at war, the main force is used to seize the city. Even if the city is not connected by the Great Wall or other fortresses, few generals will lead troops around this city to attack the next city, because the lone army will go deep. It is even more unwise to be attacked from the front and back, and even the food and grass in the rear cannot be transported in. Therefore, in ancient wars, apart from the fighting on the frontier battlefield, it was a battle for cities.

The army has already built some siege equipment such as temporary vehicles, rushing vehicles, towers, ladders, folding bridges, etc., and dozens of vehicles of wooden planks cut from temporary logging for laying trenches. Swinging towards Pengcheng, the banners fluttered, and countless sharp weapons stood up against the sky, shining faintly under the sunlight.

It took less than half an hour to arrive after a few miles of footwork, and a tall city was suddenly visible in the distance. Right in front of the city was an open field, about three or four miles away from the city gate, and dozens of people were already listed. An enemy phalanx, chariots, cavalry, archers, shield bearers, and heavy armored soldiers gathered together to guard the first line of defense, staring at each other, with tall knives and guns, and armored soldiers standing awe-inspiring, two hundred steps in front of the enemy soldiers. , is a trench and fence barbed defense line.

Under the dark cast iron and leaden sky, there are thousands of soldiers in armor, and the cold light of swords and halberds is like a cold moon slanting through a dark room.

The two armies faced each other, facing each other five hundred steps away. The front two rows were closely guarded by long shieldmen, and behind the shieldmen were several rows of light armored archers and crossbowmen. Chariots and cavalry, followed by heavy armored infantry with spears and halberds. This formation is similar to that of the two armies.

It was the first time he was on the battlefield, and he still acted as a vanguard. Ye Tian was undoubtedly shocked.

The qi and blood of tens of thousands of people condensed into a rope, and the chilling aura made him almost stop breathing. If his cultivation base was not high enough, he might have been stage frighted before the battle.

Ye Tian took a deep breath, put aside the troubled thoughts in his mind, and shouted loudly: "The commander of the army in front is the old thief Cao Ah?"

In the center of Cao Cao's horse formation, he heard the words and shouted: "So what if you are, so what if you are not? Who are you yellow-haired boy?"

Ye Tian smiled slightly, and shouted: "This is Ye Xiaoyao, the vanguard general under Tao Gong, who has been ordered to wait for you here for a long time. Xuzhou and the Cao family have no grievances, why did you bring a large army to approach Pengcheng aggressively, and accuse you of poisoning the people?" Can you afford it? If your Cao family abandons their armor and retreats now, I, Pengcheng, can let the past go, otherwise, on the battlefield today, either you will die or I will live."

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Huang-haired boy, what a big tone, Tao Qian killed my father, can he still be called innocent? The hatred of killing my father is irresistible. Today, my commander came to the city with troops to kill Tao thief. My Cao family is prestigious, and I, Cao Cao, are not so easy to bully!"

Dressed in white clothes, a white horse, holding a long sword, standing tall and handsome, with fluttering robes, like an exile.

Ye Tian raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Don't blame this general for being ruthless, come here, beat the drums and send troops!"

"Woo... boom boom boom..."

The heavy trombone and the shocking drum sounded at this moment. For a while, the drummers, horn players, gold ringers, and flag bearers in the enemy army all moved. As soon as the order was issued, the formation of the whole army began to change, and there were constantly archers and crossbows. With the hands in the front row, the bowstring is fully drawn, just waiting for the opponent to charge forward.

The ordinary bows and arrows used in ancient wars generally have a range of 150 steps to [-] steps. The bow body is two meters long. Shoot it obliquely, and wait for the arrow to fall naturally. Because there are many shields protecting the front, the rain of arrows falling from the sky is not easy to avoid, and the speed increases during the fall, and the force is not weakened. In this way, ordinary archers basically each have a quiver. There are twelve arrow feathers in each pot. Generally, after three or four rounds of volleys in battle, the opponent's chariots and cavalry have already rushed to the front, and it is basically impossible to run out of arrows.

According to historical records, Qin took six feet as a step, and three hundred steps per mile. At that time, a step was about 1.3 meters. Ordinary bows and arrows shot more than 200 meters, and they could penetrate armor. It was already very powerful. , and compound bows are made of a variety of materials, the core is ash wood, and there are also horny, hard wood chips such as sawn wood are bound on the outside, glued with the inner layer of thorns, and the most outsourced is beef tendon. The process is complicated. The cost is relatively high, so irregular elite troops are rarely equipped with compound bows, and their range can reach two hundred steps, which is truly astonishing.

With Cao Jun's current family background, he only equips the army with ordinary bows and arrows, and Pengcheng is no exception, so there is no difference in weapons between the two sides.

"Positioning arrow!" Ye Tian ordered the herald to wave the command flag.

Immediately afterwards, the bowstring sounded "clank clang clang", and countless feathered arrows were shot out suddenly, passing through the air and landing at the 120th step, and they were all tied up in a row. This is the positioning arrow. When the army charged and entered this range, it was time for the archers to shoot.

Cao Cao stared coldly at the enemy phalanx in the distance, took a deep breath, and said suddenly: "Send troops~~"

When the commander gave an order, the two generals Xu Chu and Xu Huang looked at each other and nodded, and then shouted loudly: "Chariots go out~~" "Cavalry go out~~"

The military order was like a mountain, and the chariot array began to move immediately. The first row, the second row... a total of three hundred chariots pulled by two fours rushed out of the army array, and rushed towards the enemy in front. Thousands of cavalry poured out like a flood, hundreds of wheels crushed the ground, and thousands of horseshoes trampled on the ground. These mixed sounds were intertwined, and in an instant, the ground for several miles around trembled.

Next, [-] infantry and [-] archers followed behind the chariot cavalry, and rushed out of the battle line, and charged towards the enemy. An earth-shattering storm was set off.

"Kill~"

Countless soldiers roared wildly, waving long daggers and spears in their hands, and charged forward courageously. They felt a strong masculine wind and cloud rising from the battlefield, sweeping the entire area for hundreds of miles. The space, the sky and the earth changed color, and an invisible killing spirit permeated the air.
