- Chapter 404 The decisive battle in the Central Plains
The decisive battle in the Central Plains began with Cao Cao's reluctance.
Under the gloomy sky, Cao Jun¡¯s camp was directly to the west. Hundreds of war drums were beating together, shaking the sky and the earth. Thousands of battle flags spread out and clattered in the strong north wind. Sixty thousand infantry were arranged in neat square formations. Under the leadership of Longxiang camp commander Xu Huang and deputy general Zhang Ruo, they faced the fierce north wind and advanced step by step towards Cao Jun's camp.
"Dong, dong, dong" Every time the 60,000 infantrymen took a step, the earth trembled. The rumbling footsteps covered the sound of the wind in the sky, drowned out the sound of the war drums on the ground, and became the only sound in this world.
The ten thousand dragon cavalry were divided into ten teams, each with a thousand cavalry. Under the leadership of General Zhao Yun, they were scattered on the north and south sides of Cao Jun's camp.
Huangfu Jian's war chariot drove slowly behind 60,000 infantry, protected by two thousand personal guards and cavalry.
60,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry advanced side by side, advancing unhurriedly towards Cao Jun's camp.
In this battle to attack the camp, 60,000 infantry will be responsible for the main attack, and two generals, Xu Huang and Zhang Xi, will be responsible for the command.
Although Huangfu Jian was the chief planner of this decisive battle in the Central Plains, he had delegated command power to various ministries, with Xu Huang, Ma Teng, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and other generals in charge of the war. Huangfu Jian only wanted to be a spectator this time, because there was no suspense in this war, and Huangfu Jian could no longer arouse much interest.
Cao Cao's performance was so disappointing that he was no longer qualified to be his opponent.
Everyone in Cao Cao¡¯s small study couldn¡¯t help but take a breath after hearing the sentry rider¡¯s report. They all looked at Cao Cao, Alliance Leader Cao, hoping that in this critical moment, the Alliance Leader could turn the tide and save them from misery.
"Everyone understands the current situation. Huangfu Jian can't wait any longer. We have no choice! If we fight to the death, there may still be a glimmer of hope. If we sit back and wait, we will only be suffocated to death by the enemy in the camp. We still have 160,000 soldiers. A large army, with hundreds of generals, and the strength to fight a battle. With a strong camp and strong defense to resist the enemy, there is still a possibility of victory!"
"Maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a century, but Cao Cao's dark and thin face showed a look of perseverance. Under the strong pressure of Huangfu Sword, the arrogance in Cao Cao's heart finally burst out, and now Cao Cao finally has a heroic figure.
If Huangfu Jian saw it, he would definitely say: Is this right? This is the Cao Cao I have in mind! It's a pity that Huangfu Jian didn't see Cao Cao's appearance at this time. In Huangfu Jian's eyes, Cao Cao was just a coward who didn't even have the courage to fight.
It was very quiet in Cao Cao's study. Everyone was concentrating and lost in thought. The only sound in the small study was the heavy breathing of everyone. The princes and counselors were all thinking about Cao Cao's words and deducing the chances of winning this battle. The high-ranking Allied forces gathered in the study also understood that Huangfu Sword might kill ordinary soldiers, but they had little hope of saving their lives, and Huangfu Sword was not even interested in persuading them to surrender.
"It all depends on the leader's order!" After a while, everyone raised their heads resolutely and answered loudly.
At this moment, the high-level Allied forces reached a high degree of consensus and were united. Fight, fight to the death!
"Ha, ha, ha" Cao Cao laughed, and his headache got better because of Cao Cao's cheering up.
"Cao will join hands with you all to fight!" After laughing, Cao Cao said loudly and proudly.
"I am willing to join hands with Duke Cao to fight!" Everyone was also infected by Cao Cao's pride and shouted in unison.
Suddenly, the small study room condensed into a huge fighting spirit! A determination to fight to the death!
"Xiahou Dun and Chen Gong obey orders!"
"The general is here!" "My subordinates are here!" they both replied in unison.
"The leader of this alliance orders you two to lead an army of 30,000 to defend the northeastern camp and block Ma Teng's headquarters in the northeast."
"No!" Xiahou Dun and Chen Gong accepted the order.
"Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu obey orders!"
"The general is here!" "My subordinates are here!" the two men responded as they came out of the queue.
"The leader of this alliance has ordered you two to lead an army of 40,000 to defend the southeastern camp and block Taishi Ci's troops in the southeast."
"Follow your orders!" Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu responded loudly.
"Xu Chu and Liu Ye obey orders!"
"The general is here!" "My subordinates are here!" the two men responded as they came out of the queue.
"The leader of this alliance has ordered you two to lead an army of 50,000 to defend the western camp and block the enemy in front of Hulao Pass."
"Yes!" Xu Chu and Liu Ye answered the order loudly.
"Time is urgent. You must act as ordered quickly. Life or death depends on this move. You must do your best!" After instructing everyone, Cao Cao suddenly raised his fist and said fiercely.
?Three of Cao Cao's most capable generals and three of Cao's most brilliant counselors left Cao Cao's study with everyone's hopes, and went to each camp to mobilize troops and generals to keep the enemy out of the camp.
Once the six people left, there were only three princes, some counselors, and some unknown generals left in the study. Only now did Cao Cao realize that there were too few people around him who could fight. He couldn't help but miss Liu Bei, Guan Yu brothers, Cao Hong, Cao Ren brothers, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals. It would be great if these people were still there. ah?
"Damn Huangfu Sword!" Cao Cao cursed secretly in his heart.
"You, along with our leader, will lead the remaining 40,000 soldiers to form a central army to support all directions." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, looking at the people who were still in the study.
Everyone obeyed. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. There is no way out. We can only follow Cao Cao until the end! At this time, any thoughts were useless, and it was too late to regret. Even Tao Qian, who was most afraid of Huangfu Sword, straightened his back and followed Cao Cao in stride.
Suddenly, the soldiers and horses in Cao Jun¡¯s camp were moving, people were neighing and horses were hooting, and the camp, which was originally a little empty, suddenly became excited. There are groups of soldiers gathering everywhere, soldiers rushing to the wall with swords and spears, sentries conveying general orders everywhere, and the sound of war drums that have been silent for a few days is also beating
Cao Cao ordered his troops to gather together, and led the two princes and counselors to the high platform in the camp. A high platform with a height of ten feet stands in the middle of the Chinese army camp. Standing on the high platform, you can have a panoramic view of all the camps, and you can also see everything going on in all directions. Now it has become the center where Cao Cao commanded thousands of troops and fought the final battle!
"Stop advancing! Stand in position!" When 60,000 infantrymen approached Cao Ying within a mile, Xu Huang waved his Xuanhua battle ax and shouted loudly.
"Boom" The 60,000 foot soldiers stopped and let out a huge roar.
"Ho, ho, ho" The fighting spirit of the 60,000-strong army surged into the clouds, like the roar of thousands of beasts, exuding a shocking momentum. The spears are like a forest, the phalanx is like a mountain, the battle flags are flying, the swords and shields are hitting each other, and the roar is like thunder.
Even the 10,000 Cao troops who had just surrendered were all radiant and full of fighting spirit. They had no qualms about attacking what was their main camp a few days ago. Putting on the battle uniforms of the Great Wu Kingdom, holding the battle weapons of the Great Wu Kingdom, and carrying the battle flag of the Great Wu Kingdom, they are the glorious soldiers of the Great Wu Kingdom.
Now, the 10,000 troops surrendered by Cao Cao seem to be no different from the other armies of Dawu Kingdom.
Generals Xu Huang and Zhang Xi leaned against the formation, observing the Cao army¡¯s camp not far away. Seeing that several large armies had arrived in front of Cao Jun's camp, Cao Jun showed no signs of leaving the camp to fight. However, there were obviously more defenders on each broken wall. Archers were preparing their bows and arrows, and soldiers with swords and shields were ready for action. There were lines of antlers and horses placed outside the camp, and the trenches seemed deeper.
"Cao Cao thought that he could stop our Dawu Iron Army with this ruined camp. What a wishful thinking!" Xu Huang looked at it, shook his head with disdain, and said coldly.
"General, I am willing to lead an army of ten thousand to attack the camp!" Zhang Xi held a spear in his hand, full of fighting spirit, and asked for orders loudly.
"Okay! General Zhang doesn't need to fight hard. He will first smash their stronghold walls with catapults, burn off their antlers to stop their horses, fill up the ditch in front of the stronghold, and then advance layer by layer, gradually going deeper!" Xu Huang looked at Zhang Xi He looked excited and replied with a smile.
"Obey the order!" Seeing that Xu Huang agreed to his request, Zhang Xi was overjoyed and loudly accepted the order.
Ten thousand veterans of Longxiang camp slowly advanced towards Cao Jun's camp under Zhang Xi's order. In front of these ten thousand people were a hundred huge catapults and a hundred sharp siege crossbows. With such a sharp weapon to clear the way, Zhang Xiu was confident of breaking through a fortified city, not to mention a large camp of Cao's army built with earth and wood.
"Stop advancing!" When the 10,000-strong army was 300 steps away from Cao Jun's camp, Zhang Xiu, who was leading the way, raised his spear high and shouted.
The 10,000-strong army stopped, formed a strict formation, and firmly guarded the catapults and siege crossbows in front of them.
"Attack!" Zhang Xiu shouted loudly, pointing his spear directly at the Cao army's camp in front.
"Woo, woo, woo"
One hundred catapults, one hundred thick long racket poles were pulled up high, and the lit oil bombs were put into the ammunition bags, and flew towards Cao Jun's camp with a roar.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
One hundred siege crossbows roared, and giant crossbows as thick as a spear shaft and as long as a spear handle were fired. They left the crossbow string and spun at high speed, as if they were about to tear the wind in the air apart, and rushed towards Cao Jun's camp. Those guards above.
Smoke started, fire started, and the screams of Cao Jun defending the city started
The defenders stood tightly at the top of the city, and they were densely packed. Each one looked in horror at the black oil bombs, spraying flames from them.They watched as giant crossbows as thick as spears roared towards them. They were heartbroken and frightened. Some jumped off the city wall and ran away, while others stood at the top of the city dumbfounded, waiting for the nightmare to come.
After several rounds of oil bombs and giant crossbows, the defenders on the wall of Cao Junzhai in front were wiped out. Either he ran away or he was pierced by the giant crossbow and fell into a pool of blood screaming. Then he became a burning man and danced with death in the flames. Even Cao Jun's general Xu Chu, who was responsible for defending the Western Camp, did not dare to step forward and retreated to a safe area, let alone others.
In the face of sharp weapons such as catapults and siege crossbows, Cao Jun's defense was useless and would be defeated in one blow!
