I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 559, Bao Xin's Revenge
Seeing that his ballista battalion was quickly destroyed by artillery, Yu Jin said helplessly: "Sure enough, artillery can only be dealt with by artillery!"

What his ballista shoots is either a long spear or a javelin with a small amount of explosives, but this power is impossible to be the opponent of the big dry artillery!

Looking at the bloody battlefield in front of him, Han Hao said helplessly, "General, what should we do? The Lord has just left, and we let Dagan cross the Yellow River. Can we really hold on for this month?"

Yu Jin resolutely said: "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it. If the battle is defeated, we will all go to the island to dig for guano stones, and no one will even come to rescue us!"

Over the years, as Xu Wei has conquered more and more territories, he has exiled more and more noble families. A state has exiled hundreds of thousands of people. Now he has exiled nearly a million noble families and their related relatives. Some of these people were exiled to the island and might be rescued by Cao Cao's fishermen. Of course, this also has something to do with Xu Wei not caring.

But these people's escape to Cao Cao's territory was extremely deterrent to the powerful clan in Qingzhou. Kong Rong and others could clearly see their fate after defeat through these powerful refugees!In the case that there was no way to surrender, this made the Qingzhou clan firmly support Cao Cao.

Yu Jin thought for a while and said, "Retreat to Linyi and stand firm. There are still two Yellow River channels behind. As long as we hold on long enough, we may not be able to wait for the Lord's reinforcements!"

Yu Jin could only tell his subordinates this way now, and he also knew that Cao Cao was facing an army of [-] cadres, and it would take a month to defeat them.Now he can only hope that a miracle will happen, and Cao Cao will defeat the Dagan army!
The battle on the south bank of the Yellow River was fierce, but the attack of the large army behind Qingzhou was overwhelming. Cao Cao didn't have many troops behind. After Cai Yang's army was wiped out, Fan Xian's forward troops successfully broke into Beihai County.

At this time, it was Xun Yu who was sitting in Cao Cao's hometown in Beihai County. Faced with such a critical situation, he did not panic. Instead, he first ordered the prefects and county magistrates in various places in Qingzhou to recruit all the young and strong to defend the city and delay the big battle as much as possible. The pace of the army's attack.

At the same time, they ordered that some soldiers who had no danger to guard the county seat fled to the nearby docks of the nobles, and used the docks and troops of these nobles to defend against the attack of the big army!

This can be regarded as a little reinforcement for these nobles. Since the Dagan army entered Qingzhou, the nobles from all over Qingzhou have asked Xun Yu for troops to support their Wubao, but now Xun Yu himself is short of troops, and there are still soldiers there. Handing it over to these noble families, he can only transfer soldiers from remote areas to the noble families.It can be regarded as strengthening their defense.

At the same time, this was also Xun Yu's helpless move. The cities along the Yellow River and Yanzhou were basically fortified by Cao Cao, strong and difficult to attack, but in the rear of Qingzhou, this is not the case. These cities were built during the Han Dynasty. Only the outer layer of the city is made of masonry, and the inside is made of loess. Compared with other cities, the city in the east of Qingzhou cannot withstand the attack of artillery at all.

The reason why Cao Cao didn't build the city here at the beginning was that Cao Cao didn't have enough money to make the whole Qingzhou Wubao, and the second was that Lei Gongzhen had attacked here, and he was about to perish.Therefore, Cao Cao had no plan to build the brick city of Wubao at all.

But Cao Cao never expected that Lei Gong really hit him in the back, and it was by sea, which he had never thought of. Now, in order to concentrate his troops, Xun Yu can only give up some remote counties and strengthen these troops to Go where needed!
In the east of Qingzhou, the city that is stronger than the county seat is the Wubao of the aristocrats. Although the world of the big Han has been in chaos for more than ten years, since Cao Cao came to Qingzhou, Qingzhou has never been in turmoil. These aristocrats After more than ten years of recuperation, and at the same time using these ten years to continuously strengthen their own fortress, it can be said that they are the strongest fortress in Cao Cao's territory.

That's why Xun Yu let the soldiers flee to those old castles. Of course, there is one more thing he didn't say.He sent soldiers to support the fortresses of these elite clans, and in his heart, he also used the docks of these elite clans to divert disasters to the east, and led the soldiers of Dagan to attack these fortified docks, helping them buy more time to resist the Dagan army.

Because Xun Yu knew that most of Lei Gong's subordinates were Yellow Turbans, and many of them were Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Back then, Qingzhou's nobles killed the Yellow Turbans. They hated Qingzhou's nobles to the bone. Now If they catch up to the Wubao of those Qingzhou clansmen, they can't help but want to attack these Wubao for revenge.

"My Baoxin will finally come!" Baoxin led a battalion of soldiers to surround an extremely strong dock and laughed loudly!
Although Xun Yu's strategy was extremely simple, it was really effective. Xu Wei made it easier for Fan Xian's army to enter Qingzhou, and sent a large number of officers who were originally from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to him.And these officers have a bloody hatred for the nobles in Qingzhou. The soldiers of the Dagan Army chased the soldiers of the Han Army to Wubao, and found that the enemy was in front of them. Basically, they directly led their subordinates to attack these Wubao. Want revenge!
But this hatred is not so easy to repay!Qingzhou's nobles and nobles have seen Lei Gong's invincibility for more than 10 years. They are naturally frightened. The aristocratic family took out the wealth they had accumulated for hundreds of years, and desperately strengthened the family's dock.

And absorbing the sacrifice experience of those companions, the dock they made is not a flat place near the river.But like the castles in the Middle Ages in the West, they cast their own docks wherever they are high, dangerous, and difficult to attack. If there is a cliff, they all want to build their docks on the cliff.It doesn't matter if life is convenient or inconvenient, the key is to be strong in defense.And the fortresses cast in this way are naturally more difficult to conquer than ordinary counties and cities. In many places, even artillery can't go up or hit them. It can be said that there are hundreds of small black docks in Qingzhou now.

And Xun Yu's method really slowed down the pace of the front line's attack. With Fan Xian's 10 troops, breaking through one or two small Meiwu is not a difficult problem, but it will take a lot of time and a certain amount of casualties , but if hundreds of Meiwu were conquered, I am afraid that the [-] army would not be able to do it.

But most of Fan Xian's officers now have blood feuds with the masters of these Wubao, many of them are unable to give up the chance of revenge now, and the time was delayed by Wubao, and Fan Xian's army was even marching slowly. down.Seeing that the time to attack Beihai County is coming to an end, when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, it will cost them even more to conquer Beihai County!

Fan Xian could only find Bao Xin, and wanted him to persuade other generals. At this time, Bao Xin led a battalion of soldiers and had already conquered the Wubao of a powerful and noble family. The blood man!
Seeing Fan Xian, Bao Xin laughed and said, "The enmity for many years is finally avenged today!"

"But we can't go on like this. Beihai County has not been conquered, and Cao Cao's main force has not been wiped out! We should concentrate our forces to conquer Beihai County." Fan Xian knew about Bao Xin.

Bao Xin is an old member of the Dagan army. The Dagan army was relatively weak back then, and even Bingzhou did not occupy all of it. In order to support the Yellow Turban Army in various parts of the Han Dynasty, the ruling party sent a large number of officers to support the Yellow Turban Army and teach them how to fight guerrilla warfare. And how to train the army, and Bao Xin brought hundreds of senior officers to Qingzhou to teach the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to fight, but in the end they were defeated by Cao Cao, and Bao Xin and others were captured by Cao Cao. In exchange for him, [-]% of the officers of the Dagan Army who were sent to Qingzhou died, so he could understand Bao Xin's desire for revenge!But their revenge can't affect this battle!

But Bao Xin said: "We now have 50 troops surrounding Cao Cao. Cao Cao cannot escape, but the elites in Qingzhou should be our main target. You don't know how hateful these people are. Back then we When the power is strong, they are like good grandsons, but as long as we are slightly weaker, these people will pounce on us like vicious dogs. After our defeat, a large part of the people could have fled back to Mount Tai. But the nobles in Qingzhou slaughtered our tribes madly, so that our tribes were killed by them, even more than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!"

"So we have to pull out all these cancerous tumors in Qingzhou at this time. If you lose this opportunity, you will soon find that these people are like grandchildren again. They dare not resist us, and we have no excuse to kill them!"

Bao Xin just wanted to take revenge, so he couldn't leave these enemies to deal with after defeating Cao Cao, because he understood the policy of the Dagan army, and only killed the chief villain for the powerful and noble families, and most of them would only be exiled, not be killed!It's like they captured Yuan Shao, but they only put Yuan Shao's minerals into service, but didn't kill Yuan Shao.Even Yuan Shao didn't kill him, how many people from the powerful and noble families will be killed in power, certainly not many!
But when Bao Xin watched millions of his followers die in the hands of Cao Cao and Qingzhou clan leaders in Qingzhou, now he can only kill a few hundred clan leaders, which made him unwilling, Qingzhou was too cheap The powerful and noble family.

Therefore, he wanted to kill more powerful people during the battlefield. Killing is always inevitable in wartime. When Wang Dang killed tens of thousands of powerful people in Jizhou, he didn’t say anything when he was in power. Now Bao Xin wants to learn from Wang. Appropriate method.
