Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 177 Bloody battle against yellow turban thieves, tens of thousands of enemies with five thousand! [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

After having sex with Dong Bai a few days ago.

Because Missy is the first time.

Therefore, Cao Ang also got a chance to board the boat, and this is what Cao Ang newly fished from the river, a very mysterious thing.

It's a bit like a skill, but strictly speaking, it seems more appropriate to call it a passive talent.

This is a defensive talent.

"Not moving like a mountain!"

Just four words.

But the effect is really great.

There is no need for Cao Ang to initiate it.

As long as the conditions are met, it can be triggered. Once triggered, Cao Ang's physical defense will instantly increase several times.

Cao Ang, who had already taken physical enhancement potions, had defenses of all parts of his body that surpassed that of ordinary people.

I'm afraid it can become a humanoid King Kong.

At the very least, the bows, arrows, knives and guns that were able to break through his defenses would only leave a shallow mark on the skin now, which is not enough to break through the defenses at all.

And the conditions to activate the talent.

Just stand still!

As described in the literal sense, as long as he doesn't move, the whole person is like a mountain.

thought here.

Cao Ang couldn't help recalling the description given on the stone tablet when he fished this talent from the river earlier.

"Item Name: Immovable as a Mountain (Talent)

Function: As long as you stay still, all parts of your body will keep the defense power surging several times, and as you resume action, the defense power will gradually decrease.

Note: If you are proficient at the dummy game, this will undoubtedly save your life. "

As the words come to mind.

Cao Ang couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration twice.

Sure enough, after the boat moved forward, the quality of the things caught from the river has been greatly improved. At least this talent skill is a rare and rare item.

……

The moment he fell into a static state, his defensive power increased dramatically without any forward swing. This is definitely a god-like defensive talent.

What a good thing!

It was originally what his father Cao Cao worried about.

As the chief general, even if you don't charge on the battlefield, but only command from the rear, you still need to bear certain risks.

Shooting an unknown arrow from somewhere would probably kill him.

But now it's very different.

When he was directing, he stood still, at most occasionally waved his arms, moved his mouth, and remained static most of the time.

And when he was charging at the front line.

Once you find an attack that you can't resist, just stay stiff, be a wooden man, and after the crisis is resolved, fight back or run away.

Isn't this invincible?

This time even the last short board has been made up.

Good at attacking and defending, able to advance and retreat.

Cao Ang believed that as long as he was not going to die, he would fight hard against someone like Lu Bu and Dian Wei, and the powerful generals in the world would be able to attack with all their strength. Presumably, ordinary generals would not be enough to break his own defense.

Of course, if it is a large crossbow.

Then Cao Ang would still be a little jealous.

If you can't be positive, you can't be positive.

But anyway.

Going to Linqiu County this time to fight against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandits, Cao Ang's confidence was a little bit stronger, and the balance of victory shifted a little to his side again.

……

Hurry up and down all the way.

After arriving at the destination two days earlier than expected, Cao Ang and his generals quickly took over the defense of the entire Linqiu County.

And with the cooperation of the local county magistrate.

Migration orders were issued to surrounding villages and towns.

It is required that all the villages in the north of Linqiu County, as well as the villages on the east and west sides, must evacuate the villages in the shortest possible time.

Or they each find the nearest place to hide, such as hiding in the mountains.

Or just drag your family and bring your mouth to the county seat.

In short, it is not allowed to stay in these three directions, and it is not allowed to leave a grain of food in their respective villages and towns. All edible and usable materials that can be transformed into the fighting power of the Yellow Turbans must be taken away.

while issuing the command.

Cao Ang also sent soldiers under his command to supervise and force everyone to implement the above requirements.

Well, it's already June now.

The wheat in Yanzhou has been harvested.

Otherwise, Cao Ang might send people out of the city to grab some grain.

Why do it.

One reason, of course, is to protect the lives and property of the people.

But there is another, more important reason.

It is to strengthen the wall and clear the field to defeat the enemy!
……

The yellow turban thieves play the game of supporting war with war.

Their mighty army relies on robbing the grain after each county town is captured, so that they can support their young and strong.

This also prompted the yellow turban thieves to go all the way to the big counties and big cities, because while they were coercing the people, they were also being coerced by the people.

Once there is a food shortage.

I'm afraid Cao Ang doesn't need to take action, the entire bandit army will collapse without attacking, or even a mutiny in the barracks will break out on their own.

Therefore, Cao Ang strictly ordered that all the food in the surrounding villages and towns must be transported away, and not even a grain of wheat should be left for the enemy, otherwise it would be regarded as an act of supporting the enemy.

At the same time, the people migrated.

It is also to reduce the occurrence of yellow turban thieves coercing them on the spot and turning them into their own troops.

As long as these two measures are implemented properly.

Then the bandit army will suffer a big setback when they arrive at Linqiu County in the first wave.

And after that, if they fail to take advantage of the city they are guarding.

That would be because the surrounding areas had been fortified and cleared, and there were no resources for supplementation, which led to the lack of morale of the army, and they chose to give up attacking Linqiu County early and choose other targets.

As such.

The pressure to face will be much less.

In addition, after gathering the food from the surrounding villages and towns, once the military situation changes, he can also collect and use it on the spot in time.

Anyway, as long as his city is not attacked head-on, Cao Ang will eliminate any other factors that may lead to defeat.

……

Thirty miles northeast of Linqiu County.

A large army is marching towards the county seat, overlooking from a high altitude, the mountains and plains are all over the place, and if you count them roughly, there are tens of thousands of people.

There are human heads everywhere on the wasteland, a vast area, but it doesn't look like a regular army at all, and there is no formation at all.

All of them are staggering, and they are in groups of three or four, and they are moving in the indicated direction.

Even walking and walking.

There will always be people who quietly disappear on the edge of the team.

If the line of sight is close.

Then you will find that these so-called soldiers are actually no different from refugees.

Except for a very few, they looked like they had a military job, and they performed a little better, at least they still had some meat on them.

Other than that the vast majority of people.

They were all skinny, skinny, ragged, and frail.

Their bodies were covered with dirt and dirt, and many people even had blood stains on their bodies. They had obviously survived a great battle, but they didn't have any chance to clean them.

All of them were sallow and thin, and their eyes seemed to have lost any expression. They just followed the large army numbly and moved towards a certain direction.

With the level of embarrassment of these people.

It seems that when the wind blows, they will fall to the ground, and this is not an exaggeration.

They also don't know what to do.

I only know how to obey orders.

Once the higher-ups spoke, they rushed out desperately, even with bare hands and feet, they had to climb over the city wall, rely on these shoulders to ram, and smash open the solid city gate.

Those who are unlucky will become a dead soul.

If you are lucky.

After breaking through the city, it is enough to have a full meal. Even if the broken city has a lot of food stored, there may be something to eat for the next few days.

It is such a mechanical and lifeless life.

This is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandit!

……

And at this moment, in the middle surrounded by this mighty army, several flags were fluttering in the wind.

Among them, the tallest pole is erected.

There is a word "Zhang" clearly written on it. Obviously, the commander of this army is surnamed Zhang, and it is Zhang Rao, the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Under the flag, there are several generals riding on variegated horses, one of them even wears a helmet, and a yellow belt is tied to the upper part of the helmet to show his identity.

"Shuai Qu, the brothers that the last general sent out just now have returned, and they said that the surrounding villages are empty, and they look the same as where our army went before, and they are all cleaned up."

One person reported to the general in the center.

Zhang Rao raised his neck and glanced around, seeing that the entire army was in a state of depression.

Can't help frowning tightly.

Then he cursed angrily: "The few villages we passed before have traces of people who have lived recently, and they are not deserted settlements."

"It's obvious that someone knew we were coming, so they moved the people in those villages away in advance, and even took away all the supplies such as food and grass."

"It seems that I met an expert!"

A general beside him thought for a while, then pointed in the direction of Linqiu County, and said in a deep voice.

"The surrounding villages all belong to Linqiu County, and only this county can move all these people away."

"From the point of view of the general, the attack on Linqiu County this time may take more effort than the previous county town, and it may not be so easy to win."

Zhang Rao glanced at this person.

There was a lukewarm "hmm".

Then he said in a low voice: "Even if it is difficult to chew, this bone must be chewed off."

"With the current situation of our army, even if we push and sweep all the way, there can be no delay in the middle, and we can't afford to delay."

"If Linqiu County fails to win, then we must either consider Juancheng in the west of Linqiu County, or we can only take a detour to the northwest, and the journey to the next county will be too far away."

"I'm afraid that before we capture the next city, many people in this army will starve to death. At that time, they will not recognize me as a commander."

……

All the generals around nodded in agreement.

How could they not know this truth?

Coerce the people.

Such a move is a double-edged sword.

Being able to quickly gather an extremely large army at the beginning of the army, often more than 10 or even tens of [-] people, can be described as invincible and invincible.

But at the same time, the negative impact is also huge.

They must always think about how to deal with food.

Once you can't fill the stomachs of these people.

What kind of shit is that handsome, these refugees can even be the first to eat your meat!
They don't have the reputation of great virtuous teachers back then, and they can't suppress and appease the whole army with their own reputation, so they have to consider practical things.

So after looking around for a while.

Zhang Rao waved his hand.

"Order to go on, no need to check the surrounding villages anymore, let the army advance at full speed, and make sure to arrive at Linqiu County before noon tomorrow."

"Regardless of whether there are capable people in the city or not, with such a huge force in our army, no matter how talented he is, it will have no effect!"

"Tell everyone that as long as this city is captured, there will be enough food and drink!"

After the order is delivered.

The originally lifeless refugee army.

It was a rare boost to morale, and the marching pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

Those refugees whose eyes were numb, like dead fish, had a little light of hope in their eyes, and it seemed that the prospect depicted by Zhang Rao had aroused the desire in their hearts.

…………

"Wow!"

A rapid and long tweet.

This was the first time Cao Ang heard the golden eagle make such a long and continuous sound since he raised the golden eagle. Only then did he know that the golden eagle's strength is not short.

Just the sound is long.

But the strength is not great.

According to the results of Cao Ang's training.

A long voice means a large number of people, while a strong force means an extremely high degree of threat, which also means that Jiujiu's gaze is focused on the elite level of the characters.

This is the situation right now.

It means that what came was a large number of garbage soldiers, but they could not be called elites.

Cao Ang immediately knew what was going on.

The Yellow Turban Thief is here!
"Give me an order, the enemy army has arrived, the whole army is ready to fight, everyone guards the crenels of the city wall, and bring up all the things used to defend the city!"

Following Cao Ang's order.

The several messengers standing behind him rushed out to the left and right sides quickly, shouting loudly, conveying Cao Ang's orders.

At the same time, there were also people who kept knocking on the clapper on the top of the city and even inside the city. The piercing sound alerted everyone and made everyone nervous.

Soldiers standing on the top of the city.

One by one, the hands holding the weapons in their hands and holding the spear shafts, even some of their knuckles turned white because of too much force.

On both sides of the city head, there are continuous people who spontaneously act as transport teams, responsible for sending up various utensils for defending the city.

Even the wealthy households in the city.

There are also some country gentry and elders who also came to the tower at such a critical juncture.

To the soldiers in the city, he promised various post-war rewards, including food and money.

And mobilize the soldiers of the county.

The rich families in these counties are very clear. As the big families in the county, once the city is breached, the people who have stockpiled food in their homes will bear the brunt of it.

With the temperament of those refugees and refugees outside the city.

After breaking the city, apart from the government's granary, the first thing to do is to deal with wealthy families like them.

If you just grab food and pay it back.

It is more likely to kill them.

This is a critical moment of life and death, so Cao Ang didn't need to mobilize, and these people ran out spontaneously.

Boxes of food and five baht money.

It was so brightly placed in front of the soldiers.

to be frank.

Very useful!

Inspired by these objects, the soldiers defending the city became more motivated, and their morale was high.

They are in the military after all.

The cause itself is food and money.

We all know that joining the army is dangerous, but for such a high salary, many people rush to come.

And now there are bounties.

So why can't you work hard?

……

In such a tense atmosphere.

Soon everyone saw the whole picture of the enemy.

As groups of yellow scarf soldiers in tattered clothes and thin faces appeared in their field of vision, everyone on the top of the city couldn't help being a little dazed.

Can this also be called a soldier?
Isn't this a wave of refugees?

Looking around, there are really not many people with serious weapons on hand.

Those who can hold a spear are considered to have a better mental outlook.

Most of them find a piece of bamboo and sharpen it, and use it as a spear. Some people even hold agricultural tools and carry them on their shoulders as weapons.

As for what armor shield?
Don't even think about these things!
The clothes on his body can completely cover his body, which is quite good.

This is the status quo of the Yellow Turban Army.

Everyone saw this situation.

The morale is getting higher and higher for no reason.

Their opponents are such a mob, just a bunch of refugees gathered together.

Is there any reason why this city cannot be defended?
Just as the enemy gathers outside the city.

The slightly inflated psychology of Cao Jun's soldiers gradually calmed down.

many!
It's just too much!

You can't see the end at a glance.

I don't know if it is [-] or [-], but it is a huge number, a number that far exceeds the number of defenders in the city.

And with more and more enemy troops.

Soldiers who looked more formal also gradually appeared, with cloth armor wrapped around their bodies and yellow cloth belts tied to their clothes.

At the same time, there were several small teams carrying ladders and some simple siege equipment, which proved that this army did not come unprepared and sent them to death blindly.

……

"Archer ready!"

As the order spread throughout the city.

The soldiers with spears retreated one after another, making room for the archers to shoot.

It's just that the enemy is still in formation and has not approached this way, so the archers are only in a state of preparation and have not entered the stage of gaining momentum.

After waiting for a while.

"Clap!"

With a loud bang.

Soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army built ladders and planks on the moat.

This also looks like a signal.

Instantly ignited the prelude to the battlefield.

A large number of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army under the city swarmed towards the city, and those who ran at the forefront were soldiers carrying ladders, walls and other implements.

behind them.

On the other hand, countless vagrants who looked like they were crazy and fearless of death came rushing towards the city like a black torrent.

"Draw the bow!"

"Drumming!"

As the guard of the city, Cao Chun roared to the left and right, and issued two orders in succession.

in an instant.

All the archers drew their bows and set their arrows, facing downwards as if they were ready to shoot.

At the same time, the soldiers who were in charge of beating the drum to cheer, also waved the drum hammer in their hands, exerting all their strength, and slammed it on the drum crazily.

"Boom boom boom!"

The deafening drumbeat.

It seemed to be able to touch people's heartstrings, making the hearts of soldiers on the battlefield beating involuntarily with the drumbeat, and the blood all over their bodies suddenly surged.

Even Cao Ang, the coach of the three armies.

At this moment when I heard the sound of the drum beating.

All feel hot.

I just feel that the hairs all over my body are standing on end, the pores are open, and the scalp is slightly numb.

This is him excited!

He licked his lips involuntarily.

Cao Ang took the bow and arrow from the soldiers around him. This is a three-stone strong bow he ordered to be custom-made, and its power can be described as extremely fast.

Of course, he can pull even bigger bows.

But on the current battlefield, what is important is a high frequency and high efficiency, and the three-stone bow is of course the most cost-effective.

……

"Fire arrows!"

Following Cao Chun's order.

The messengers on the left and right immediately passed on his order, and the archers in the front row immediately let go of their bowstrings.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless arrows made a sharp piercing sound, bringing up streams of airflow, leaping countless distances in the blink of an eye, and then piercing blood in the crowd below.

"Pfft!"

These archers aimed at the soldiers who were crossing the moat through planks and ladders.

So as the enemy hits the arrow.

You can hear screams and wailing one after another, as well as the dull sound of falling into the water.

Just in the blink of an eye.

A layer of corpses has already been laid in the moat.

Even if he was not shot to death by a bow and arrow, he fell into the water and struggled twice, but he was drowned.

And the defenders on the top of the city are not surprised by this.

The two armies confront each other.

There is no such thing as life or death. These are enemies who come to take our lives. They are just numbers. The more you kill, the better.

"Keep shooting arrows, shoot me into the crowd!"

This time defend the city.

Cao Chun uses multi-stage shooting.

That is to say, after the archers in front shoot, the archers in the back immediately switch to the front, and there is no need to aim, just find the pile of people and shoot down.

In this way, the front and rear rows are replaced respectively.

Ensure that the frequency of the bow and arrow does not stop.

Although the Cao family is not rich and powerful now, this city is the lifeline of the Cao family right now, and if they can't keep everything, it will be over.

Therefore, it can be regarded as hollowing out the old bottom.

Bring all the arrows that can be used, as long as they can cause effective damage to the enemy, it is blood money.

……

And under such an output regardless of cost.

Really great results.

The enemy troops swarming under the city were even blocked from advancing for a while because of the rain of arrows all over the sky.

Especially those soldiers carrying ladders and other siege equipment, died wave after wave, but no one could successfully put the ladder on the city wall.

of course.

This is just a means of blocking the enemy in advance.

As the war progressed.

With the reduction in the number of arrows and the reduction in the role of the moat, the enemy can put more and more soldiers on the battlefield, and sooner or later they will break through to the bottom of the city wall.

Therefore, the melee infantry standing behind the archers couldn't help clenching the weapons in their hands, with high fighting spirit and ready to go.

they know.

Soon it will be their turn!
