Arrows rained down like rain, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Along the line of Guancheng, soldiers were densely crawling, and the intertwined arrow rain was like a dragnet, covering the sky.
60,000 Cao Cao's troops were furiously attacking Guancheng, the oldest of the eight passes, southeast of Luoyang.
This is the third day of the siege. The seemingly crumbling Guancheng cannot be conquered.
On the top of the city, the big flag with the word "Hao" is still flying proudly.
More than a hundred steps away, Cao Cao looked at the long-term attack, his brows became darker and darker, and his scorched face became more and more suspicious.
"My lord, I heard that this Hao Zhao is a very good general under Yuan Fang in defending the city. Judging from the enemy's strength, it doesn't seem like there are only five thousand, but at least ten thousand. It seems that the enemy has been prepared for it."
Cheng Yu, the counselor accompanying the army, finally raised questions after seeing that he could not attack for a long time.
Cao Cao was shocked and stared at the city head again, the suspicion in his eyebrows becoming more intense.
"Could it be that that boy Yuan Fang had already predicted that I would attack this level?"
There was a big question mark in Cao Cao's mind.
Then, he shook his head in denial.
"Impossible, I took advantage of his alienation trick and used it to get him to use his own plan. If he had been prepared in advance, wouldn't it be that my plan was already in his expectation? Such calculation ability is really terrible ¡¡±
Next to Cao Cao, Sima Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, with a hint of suspicion flashing through his sunken eyes.
Like Cao Cao, he was wondering whether they had really fallen into Yuan Fang's trick.
"My lord, don't worry, that little thief Yuan Fang is deceitful, but no matter how scheming he is, he can't be so scheming. My lord, please do your best to attack the problem. Yi believes that Hao Zhao will not be able to hold on for long."
Despite his doubts, Sima Yi was unwilling to deny his judgment in front of Cao Cao, and instead urged Cao Cao to attack the city more firmly.
Cao Cao nodded slightly. It seemed that Sima Yi's words dispelled some of his suspicions.
At this moment, a scout on horseback rushed over and shouted: "My lord, General Yu Jin has urgently reported that Yuan Fang led 90,000 troops out of Dagong Pass not long ago. Suddenly he went south and surrounded Liang County. Please hurry up, lord." Return quickly for rescue.¡±
Yuan Fang sent troops south to surround Liang County?
Cao Cao's expression changed with shock, and Sima Yi's expression also changed with shock, and the Xiahou brothers were left and right. Le Jin, Li Dian and others were all shocked.
Faced with the siege of three princes, Yuan Fang still had the courage to take the initiative and besiege Liang County?
¡°Moreover, the timing was so accurate, but when he raided Shenyuan Pass, he turned from defense to attack and raided Liang County?
"Oops. Yuan Fang had expected that we would use the excuse of returning to Jingzhou to raid Sheyuan Pass, so Hao Zhao would have been prepared in advance, and our army would be disadvantageous in attacking the city. But Yuan Fang took advantage of my army to attack here At that time, they came out of Dagong Pass and raided our Liang County. Lord, we are really being plotted by Yuan Fang!"
Cheng Yu was the first to react and blurted out in shock.
Cao Cao suddenly realized. The changed eyes looked anxiously at Sima Yi, seeming to question Sima Yi's plan.
"Yuan Fang, this traitor, actually" Sima Yi was also shocked and angry, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
At this time. Cheng Yu said anxiously: "If Liang County is lost, Yuan Fang can lead his army south along the Ru River and take Runan directly. If Runan is in danger, it will cut off the connection between Jingzhou and Yuzhou. My lord, Liang County cannot be cut off." Lost, come back quickly."
Cao Cao's expression changed again, and he realized the seriousness of the situation. He took a deep look at Sima Yi and couldn't help but sigh "Alas".
Then, he turned his horse around, raised his whip and shouted: "Send an order to the whole army to retreat quickly, follow me to save Liang County!"
¡¡
Two days later, Liang County.
Ninety thousand Qi troops surrounded Liang County. Yu Jin, Xu You, and more than ten thousand Cao troops were surrounded and killed in this isolated city.
The siege was over, but Yuan Fang was not in a hurry to attack.
Because he expected that Liang County was an important area and Cao Cao would lead his army back, he was waiting for news of Cao Cao's arrival.
¡°Report~~¡±
The scouts rushed in, breaking the silence in the Chinese military tent.
"My lord, we have discovered the main force of Cao's army, numbering 60,000, thirty miles southeast of Liang County, rushing towards Liang County along the Ru River."
In the big tent, all the generals were immediately in awe, their blood boiled instantly, and hunting and fighting spirit burst into their eyes.
"Fengxiao, your prediction is indeed right. Cao Cao is really here. It's time for a big battle." The fierce murderous intention in Yuan's body quickly burned.
Guo Jia also took a sip of wine and said boldly: "Cao Cao's entire army has returned with great vigor. Now, we need to give him a head-on blow and severely defeat Cao Cao's vigor. Only in this way, in this battle, we Only then can we seize the opportunity.¡±
That¡¯s right, a head-on blow!
Yuan Fangteng stood up with a sharp gaze, scanning all the generals, and said sternly: "Three enemy invaders want to join forces to destroy me. Today, it is time to use a happy victory to crush the enemy's wishful thinking. If you have confidence, come and fight with me!"
"It turned out that the Lord was fighting to the death¡ª¡ª"
In front of the tent, all the generals stood up and roared in unison.
Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Zhang Jia and Gao Lanzhang were all the generals in front of them, their blood was boiling and their ambitions were as high as fire.
"Okay!" Yuan Fang slapped the table fiercely and shouted boldly: "Instruct all the troops to take action immediately. I will give Cao Cao a head-on blow!"
At present, Yuan Fang left three generals, Gao Shun, Ju Yi, and Zhuge Liang, with 30,000 troops and horses to continue besieging Liang County.
Yuan Fang himself led 60,000 Qi troops south along the Ru River to meet Cao Cao's army.
¡¡
The army moved quickly, and at dusk, billowing dust and fog appeared in the southeast.
The advance scouts quickly reported that Cao Cao's army had appeared five miles ahead.
The terrain here is not open, and Yuan Fang's superior cavalry cannot exert its advantage.
Today¡¯s battle will be a battle of even strength, with the brave winning the battle.
"The whole army, prepare to meet the enemy!" Fang Tian drew his halberd horizontally, and Yuan Fang shouted sharply.
An army of 60,000 infantry and cavalry was lined up on the bank of Ru River, waiting for a powerful enemy.
Soon, half an hour has passed.
The setting sun is like blood, the cold wind is as fierce as a blade
The wind blows across the field, and the red battle flags are like waves of blood.
The most dazzling flag on that side is Yuan Fang, who is wearing silver armor. Stand tall and tall.
The cold wind with the smell of earth blew past his face, and Yuan Fang could smell the strong smell of blood in the wind.
The distance pupil has been opened, the end of the field of vision. A black sandstorm is coming overwhelmingly.
In his ears, bursts of muffled thunder rang out, and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble inexplicably.
The nerves of the 60,000 soldiers immediately became tense. Holding the sword and gun tightly, with a will as strong as iron, a pair of young eyes looked into the distance.
A moment later, there were countless battle flags and countless figures. Countless swords and guns filled their field of vision in an instant.
60,000 Cao Jun¡¯s infantry and cavalry, gathering dust and mist, surged in like crazy
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Cao Cao, wrapped in a red robe, has a stern look on his eyebrows. There was a look of anger.
He saw the formation of the Qi army facing him, which was like a copper wall and an iron wall, and saw the majestic "Yuan" flag flying in the wind.
He knew that Yuan Fang was there, waiting for a bloody battle with him.
Many years ago, it was that humble illegitimate son of the Yuan family who drove Cao Cao out of the Central Plains, forcing him to revise his overall strategy and leave the Central Plains untouchable. We can only retreat and seek the next best thing, to get Jingxiang.
The dream of coercing the emperor to control the princes was also shattered.
Now, the guy who drove him from Tian Yuan on the chessboard to the corner. The murderer who killed his cousin Cao Hong was right in front of him.
I want revenge!
Only these four words remained in Cao Cao's mind. The raging fire of revenge rose from the bottom of his heart and burned throughout his body.
"Where is Huang Hansheng!" Cao Cao shouted.
"The last general is here." The veteran general with white beard and hair, carrying a hard bow on his back and carrying a sword in his hand, came out in response.
This veteran is Huang Zhong, the Tiger of Changsha.
Huang Zhong was originally Liu Biao's old general. After Liu Biao's fall, he chose to submit to Cao Cao and became a fierce general that Cao Cao appreciated.
Cao Cao raised his whip and shouted: "Huang Hansheng, I order you to lead 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers to attack the left wing of the Yuan thieves. Let me see your reputation as the Tiger of Changsha."
"No!"
Huang Zhong didn't hesitate at all, he just responded with a deep voice and rode away.
The high-pitched and ferocious horn sound soared into the sky. Under the leadership of the "yellow" banner, 10,000 Jingzhou Cao troops rushed towards the left flank of the Qi army.
The sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the momentum was terrifying.
Under the banner of the Chinese Army, Yuan Fang had opened his telescope and clearly saw the "yellow" flag, and even saw the veteran general with white beard and hair and unparalleled power.
"Cao Cao dared to use a veteran to attack first. Looking at his banner, could it be Huang Zhong?" Yuan Fang frowned slightly, thinking to himself
Huang Zhong was one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty in history, and he was powerful in the world.
This person's martial arts can compete with Guan Yu, and he has the strength to practice internal organs.
Yuan Fang did not dare to look down upon him and immediately shouted: "Zhao Zilong, I order you to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the enemy."
Huang Zhong¡¯s martial arts are extraordinary, and Zhao Yun has to take action to fight him.
"No!" Zhao Yun responded enthusiastically and rode away.
The sound of drums shook the sky, making the flags shake like the wind.
Zhao Yun galloped out with his horse, commanding a cavalry force of 10,000 steps, rushing up to meet Huang Zhong's army.
???????????????????? Boom!
Click!
The two torrents collided in an instant, and the splash of blood at that moment almost raised a blood mist over the battlefield.
The left wing was engaged in a fierce battle.
Cao Cao did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Xiahou Dun to attack with 10,000 troops and horses to attack the right flank of the Qi army.
Xiahou Dun cheered up and led his army to rush out, rushing towards the Qi army like a tide.
Facing him, Yuan Fang could see clearly in his far-sighted eyes.
"Even generals like Xiahou Dun are sent into battle. Cao Cao, are you going to fight me desperately"
With his thoughts turning, Yuan Fang was unambiguous and immediately ordered Wen Chou to dispatch and lead 10,000 troops to attack.
Amidst the thundering drums, 10,000 Qi troops marched out in high spirits. In the blink of an eye, they were again fighting with the enemy.
There was a roaring sound of killing, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The elite Cao army fought against the iron-blooded warriors of the Qi army in hundreds of battles. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, but they could not decide the winner for a moment.
In Cao Jun¡¯s formation, Cao Cao saw that the two armies could not break through Yuan Jun¡¯s formation. He was already murderous and prepared to launch the strongest attack in the middle.
At this moment, a young general rode his horse forward, raised his hands and said with emotion: "My lord, I am willing to lead the central route army to attack, and I will definitely kill Yuan Fang under the horse!"
