Chapter 565
Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao came out of his anger. Lu Bu's methods were so ruthless that he used barbarians to consume the arrows in his army.

On the tall archery towers, there are viscous grease in the bottles and jars. The feather arrows stick to it and then sweep the torch next to it to ignite it, and then shoot.

Under the rain of fire all over the sky, after the black feather arrows shot over, the feather arrows inserted on the shield and the city wall made crackling sounds, and the flames burned until the feather arrows broke.

The first line of defense was bombarded by the rain of stones, and they couldn't raise their heads at all. Cao Jun, the second line of defense, was the main force in the counterattack, and almost all of them were archers.

In the same way, huge stones were accompanied by the crushed stones, which rumbled down from the sky, and the first city wall could feel the vibration of the feet.

More than 2 barbarian soldiers frantically rushed up the ladder, holding their round shields and continuously climbing and attacking.

Three thousand Han troops armed with long knives lined up in the rear and behind this group of barbarian soldiers, anyone who fled and retreated before the battle would be killed without mercy.

This time, the Hebei soldiers and horses revealed their majestic siege equipment, and did not dispatch any main force, only the group of barbarians were used as cannon fodder.

But the powerful siege equipment was almost pressing down on Cao Jun on the first line of defense, unable to raise his head, looking like he was about to fall.

Cao Jun on the remaining seven lines of defense in the rear showed a look of shock after seeing it. The siege equipment can be used to such a degree.

Even Cao Cao couldn't help showing the feeling of lingering fear, and carefully wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Fortunately, he spent several years in Guandu, and his efforts were finally not in vain. If it was a mere line of defense, it would fall if the Hebei army charged and couldn't last for half a day.

Putting his hands on the battlements, Cao Cao stared at the Hebei Lion, "Have the scouts detected how many enemy cavalry there are?"

Xi Zhicai on the side smiled wryly, showing a helpless look, and sighed: "Master, looking at the soldiers and horses in Hebei, there should be no less than [-] cavalry!"

Fifty thousand cavalry!This number reverberated in Cao Cao's mind, which directly made him gasp, and blurted out: "Although I have heard that Lu Bu has robbed the Xianbei royal court, I did not expect that there are so many war horses."

He has worked hard for many years, and it can be said that he has saved just [-] cavalry, some of whom are poor horses.

As for Lu Bu, the [-] cavalry were all horses on the prairie. Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this.

Not to mention the 25 Hebei soldiers and horses, just 15 cavalry on flat land can forcefully challenge the [-] troops under his command.

"Soldiers in the ordering army should set up more horse pits and antlers." Although he knew that the iron barrel-like camp would be difficult to break through, Cao Cao still couldn't help issuing the military order.

promise!
The general behind him clasped his fists and responded, no one thinks this is a big deal. If he really doesn't do this, once the camp is really broken by the enemy, [-] cavalry will be enough to destroy everything.

"Fengxian destroyed the Xianbei royal court in the first battle and plundered [-] war horses. It seems that what he said is true."

Cao Cao couldn't help sighing with emotion, his eyes filled with a complicated look of envy and jealousy, if fifty thousand cavalry were in his hands, no!Even if there were another [-], he would dare to brush Lu Bu's tiger whiskers, why would he hide in Guandu.

What Xi Zhicai was worried about was not the current [-] cavalry, but the several horse farms in Hebei. During the battle on the grassland, almost all of the horses Lu Bu kept were Xianbei mares.

In other words, the land of Hebei can continuously produce high-quality grassland horses, and there is no need to worry about the formation of cavalry in the future.

Even if he defeated the Hebei army this time, Lu Bu would not be injured at all. With hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands, Lu Bu was already invincible in the Central Plains.

Lu Bu, under the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, sipped hot tea, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and shook his head for a while. The seemingly crazy barbarians had the ability to push their spirits at once, and their morale would drop after a protracted battle.

"Looking at the camp of Cao's army, do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?" Lu Bu asked, looking back at the civil and military generals.

Wen Wu, who was staring at Cao Jun's camp, turned his head and shook his head secretly. This time, almost no one spoke.

In fact, Lu Bu just asked casually, it would be best if there was one, and it would be normal if there wasn't one. The camp at Guandu was built like an iron bucket by Cao Cao.

The Eight Lines of Defense restrict Hebei's once invincible siege equipment. The camps are seated like a chessboard, with clear divisions, occupying high ground, and the terrain is established.

It is also close to Guandu, and the water source is not worrying. The 15 Cao army under his command is not weaker than his troops in terms of defense.

The right place and Cao Cao are both occupied, and there is only a short time, but the time difference is in the logistics of both sides, and it will be impossible to decide the winner for a while.

"My lord, Cao Cao seems to be determined to stop us at Guandu. The layout of the camp is completely defensive, which is difficult!"

After Guo Jia spoke, all the civil servants nodded frequently. They really couldn't see the flaws in Cao Jun's camp.

Another thing is that they have too many cavalry, and they can completely overwhelm Cao Jun. In other words, it is impossible to lure Cao Jun to attack unless there is a greater temptation.

"Yuan Shu and Liu Bian went to war, and Cao Cao had no worries in the rear. Thieves Li in Guanzhong knew the truth of death, so Cao Cao could concentrate on the Guandu battlefield."

After Jia Xu pondered for a moment, she couldn't find any good solution, she shook her head and sighed.

There are very few people who can see the enemy's flaws as soon as the battle starts!Lu Bu shook his head indifferently, and finally focused on the hot tea, so he could only hold on, waiting for the opportunity, and Cao Cao was also waiting for the opportunity.

"My lord, do you want to dispatch troops to the rear to win with more troops?" Yu Wencheng, one of the generals, couldn't help but said, and the rest of the generals showed feasible looks after hearing this.

But Lu Bu smiled and said softly: "Although dispatching a large army is feasible, it will consume a lot of food and grass, which is in line with Cao Cao's wishes. Cao Mengde is just waiting for the opportunity."

Is it possible to have more soldiers?Of course, if Lu Bu didn't care about the consequences and directly dispatched 50 troops south to attack Guandu, Cao Cao's 15 troops would be unable to hold on sooner or later.

But after defeating Cao Cao, if Lu Bu still had any capital to attack the city and conquer the land, the princes of the world would not sit back and watch him recuperate.

What's more, he still needs troops to deter the grasslands, so he never thought of dispatching more troops from the beginning.

Besides, the number of troops mobilized for this expedition is definitely quite a lot. Qingzhou mobilized 25 soldiers and horses, and his 50 troops went south. Bingzhou still needs to guard against the grasslands and Guanzhong. After careful calculation, there are enough [-] troops to mobilize.

"My lord, news came from Hetao a few days ago that Mongolia sent troops to annex the surrounding tribes!"

Guo Jia's words made Lu Bu frowned. After tapping his fingers on the desk for a long while, he finally said in a deep voice, "I have ordered Gao Shun from Bingzhou that if the Mongol army is mobilized, the cavalry at the border will be dispatched to harass you."

promise!
Although the main force went south to the Central Plains, the defense against the frontier was not weak at all, especially the cavalry. There were [-] cavalry left in the frontier, which was enough to contain the changes in the grassland for a while.
