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

Chapter 195 Cao Ang, a strange man in the world, is really fascinating! [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

Pan Ping hid among the crowd.

He timidly hid behind a few soldiers, showing his head from time to time to observe the situation in the city, and once he found anything unusual, he would give orders loudly.

Compared to Xu He and the rest of Sima Ju's generals, Pan Ping was actually an outlier. Not only was he thin and weak, but he didn't have any special skills.

In terms of archery, horseback riding, and even formation of troops, some of the Yellow Turban Army are ten or a hundred times stronger than him.

But talk about the ability to save life.

Pan Ping is a good player.

Not only is he a chicken thief, but he is also very capable. At this moment, he is hiding behind a few soldiers. Generals who usually command the front line really can't do this.

This is also the reason why the lieutenant generals of the Yellow Turban Army have changed one crop after another, but he has been able to rise all the way.

He was so strong that he killed everyone else, until he had the highest status in the army except for the two commanders and a few of their confidants.

"Come closer, don't expose my head, in case there are some sharp archers in the city, the general's little life will be explained here!"

After waiting for a long time.

There was no movement in the city.

Pan Ping felt that he should be safe. Just now, he had spoken out to alert the car crash, which attracted the attention of the defenders, but they did not attack him.

I think there are no sharpshooters in Jinxiang City.

Thinking about it like this.

Immediately, Pan Ping poked his head out a little, wanting to take another look at the scene in the city.

However, it is such a short-lived effort.

Pan Ping heard a burst of wind in his ears, and with it, there was a fierce wind hitting his cheek.

"Pfft!"

An arrow pierces the brain!

Blood splashed all over the front, the backs of the heads and clothes of several soldiers.

Pan Ping, who has always been known for his ability to fight, fell down straight and died on the spot.

This frightened the surrounding soldiers.

"General Pan is dead!"

"General Pan was shot!"

This is where the defect of the refugee army is reflected.

There is no discipline and method.

This didn't even require Cao Ang to encourage the soldiers under his hands to shout loudly, they themselves panicked first, and there was a sudden chaos on several buildings.

……

And looking at such a situation.

Cao Ang said nothing.

Immediately push aside the left and right soldiers.

Then keep your hands on.

Arrows shot towards the battlefield like precise guidance. Every time the bowstring was released, a soldier on the building car was harvested.

For a time, the top floor of more than a dozen building cars.

There are not many standing people left.

Either Cao Ang took his life with an arrow, or he fell from the roof of the building in a panic.

Although at every moment on the battlefield, there are still a large number of soldiers who were killed by the arrows on the top of the city, and among the crowd rushing to the top of the city carrying ladders, there will never be a lack of screams and blood.

But these are compared with Cao Ang's performance.

It's not surprising enough.

At this moment.

Shanyang County, outside Jinxiang County.

The vast battlefield with a total of more than 20 troops invested by both sides has become Cao Ang's personal show.

Bow and arrow in the cold weapon era.

He used it as a hot weapon.

This really shocked many people. The senior generals of both the enemy and us saw such a situation with their own eyes.

Everyone was stunned.

Startled!

Is this still a person?

Isn't this just a humanoid crossbow? !
It can shoot faster than a crossbow, and it can shoot farther, and the strength is not bad at all, it will really startle the eyes of the ground.

……

"General Cao is mighty!"

"General Cao killing the enemy is like slaughtering chickens and dogs!"

The archers are still fighting the enemy bravely.

At this stage, the melee infantry holding spears is fine, at best they are passing arrows for the archers.

So they simply cheered loudly from behind.

Shouts resounded throughout the battlefield.

And accompanied by the loud shouts of the soldiers.

"boom!"

A huge roar sounded.

It turned out to be Dian Wei, who smashed down the wooden mine that he had been holding, and hit the car right in the middle.

The crash is solid though.

But how could it be able to withstand the acceleration of gravity, and even Dian Wei's power.

So after the bang.

Except for the main part of the crashing wood, all the rest were broken into parts all over the place, and this crashing car was considered a waste.

The cheers grew louder now.

The defenders of the city rang out the call of the mountains and the sea, as if the waves were sweeping, and the momentum was astonishing.

And more so.

Cao Jun's morale became more and more turbulent.

Excitement will continue to be contagious, and everyone cheers, so our output will also be vigorous.

And the opposite.

On the side of the Yellow Turban Thieves, morale began to slump.

Although so far.

The Yellow Turban Army has not yet suffered any substantial losses. At best, it is only the vanguard, which has encountered a large-scale attack by archers.

Soldiers killed and wounded compared to the total.

It's really trivial.

Not even the fur was damaged.

But sometimes the morale on the battlefield is not completely determined by the casualties.

The enemy is calling the sea, and the whole flower work on my side is overwhelmed, and even a general is dead, and all the comrades around are downcast.

Can the mood not be low?

Under this situation.

The fighting will of the two sides immediately widened the gap, and this was reflected in the fact that when the Yellow Turbans marched, they were no longer as brave as they were when the battle started, and they all ran towards the city like desperately.

……

"Whoosh!"

Shoot the last arrow.

Seeing that there was no one alive on the building car on the north bank of the moat river, Cao Ang felt a little regretful.

Does this work?
Although I am young, the arrow is still sharp!

After shaking his right arm and stretching his muscles, Cao Ang handed the longbow to the guard beside him.

He himself walked to Cao Cao's side.

"Father, this situation looks good. According to this situation, the enemy army will have to announce that they will withdraw their troops for the time being if they touch the city wall at most."

Cao Cao stroked his beard.

A rare smile appeared on his face, which had been tense all day, and he nodded in agreement.

Although the enemy's withdrawal does not mean that he has lost the battle.

But as long as there is an extra day of delay on my side, the enemy will consume an extra day of food and grass.

This battle is a war of attrition.

Either drag the enemy troops until their morale collapses, or let them collapse directly due to lack of food.

In short, according to the current form.

The balance of victory was already tilting towards the Cao family, so Cao Cao was naturally happy.

At this moment, I heard the words of my son.

Cao Cao couldn't help turning his head to look.

See Cao Ang shaking his arm.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked with concern: "Ang'er, are you all right, do you want to go down and rest for a while?"

Cao Ang shook his head.

"Father, don't worry, the baby is fine, it's just that the bow is drawn too frequently in a short period of time, and it's just a little sore."

Only then did Cao Cao put his heart back into his stomach.

Then he couldn't help it anymore, he thumped Cao Ang's chest lightly, and said in a complaining tone.

"On the battlefield, it depends on the fighting between the two armies. In this huge battlefield of more than ten and 20 troops, individual bravery, after all, has little effect."

"Don't be so reckless in the future. It's just some high-rise cars. Can we deal with them? On the contrary, if you get hurt, the loss outweighs the gain!"

……

Cao Cao's care and love are not fake.

Naturally, Cao Ang could hear it.

Therefore, he did not argue with his father.

He just nodded with a smirk.

After a few words of education, Cao Cao could only shake his head helplessly when he saw his son showing an obedient appearance, and stopped talking about this topic.

Instead, he propped himself on the crenel of the tower with one hand.

He looked at Dian Wei who was walking back and forth below, threatening the enemy greatly.

Can't help but sigh with emotion.

"Zixiu, you and General Dianwei, with the joint efforts of the two of you, you directly reversed such a complicated battlefield."

"It really horrifies my father!"

Hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help turning his eyes to the outside of the city, and shook his head as he looked at the still-black enemy below the city.

"It's only a mob like Ant Thief who has no military discipline and relies solely on the number of people to fight, the two of us can achieve such an effect."

"As long as you change to an opponent like Uncle Benchu, then I'm afraid there will only be head-to-head encounters."

The voice just fell.

A complicated expression flashed across Cao Cao's eyes. He felt that his son's words had deep meaning.

Why not take someone else as an example.

On the contrary, it was Yuan Shao who opened his mouth?

Could it be that in his son's heart, he has regarded Yuan Shao as an imaginary enemy from the beginning to the end, and is always ready to fight with his original uncle?
Cao Cao thought it was very possible.

However, after experiencing the truths that Cao Ang told himself outside Luoyang City.

Cao Cao always believed in one thing.

Anyone who dares to become a stumbling block on his way to becoming the strongest and most powerful loyal minister in the world, then he will kick him out without hesitation.

Even Yuan Shao!

Therefore, regarding what his son said, Cao Cao only had a change in his heart, but he still didn't say anything on the surface.

He just nodded in agreement.

…………

The sun sets, and the sun sets in the middle of the mountain.

As the sun gradually disappeared below the horizon, there were only large expanses of red clouds in the sky, reflecting the entire Jinxiang City like blood.

and corresponding to it.

It is in the moat outside the city, and the piles of corpses on both sides of the river.

The ground is covered with blood that has dried up to a somewhat dark red, spread out on the yellow ground, as if formed into thick flails, which is shocking.

At this moment, the warring parties have ceased fighting.

The fact is, just as Cao Cao and his son predicted, the vanguard of the enemy army only touched the city wall, and hadn't even had time to put the ladder on the top of the city.

So he had to choose Mingjin to retreat because the sun was about to set and it was too late.

The lighting conditions in this era are very poor.

Once it enters the night, no matter which side is attacking and defending the city, the eyesight will be extremely reduced.

Night combat is basically equal to blind combat.

And the defenders also have the convenience of the city, so as long as it is delayed until night, the attacking party will never be able to fight, so they simply chose to withdraw their troops.

Waiting to fight again tomorrow.

……

At the moment on top of the city.

Cao Ang started from the west and marched to the east, observing the soldiers' conditions along the way.

Compared with the first battle in Linqiu County.

This battle was actually quite comfortable.

At least after today's battle, most of the soldiers can still maintain a certain level of energy. Except for the archers, few of them are too tired to move.

The reason why there is such a war situation.

Except for the enemy's own tricks.

The most important thing is that there are not a lot of defenders in the city, and there are tens of thousands of them, which has not reached the terrifying ratio of one to ten when they fought against Zhang Rao.

Therefore, all parties support each other so that they will not be stretched, and everyone can take turns to rest.

And as Cao Ang walked to the middle position.

You can also see Xia Houyuan issuing military orders there.

"The two of you will be on duty tonight. Take your own troops and watch out of the city. Don't take it lightly!"

"After nightfall, you guys will take the soldiers out of the city and clean up the battlefield a little bit. From the root of the city wall to the south bank of the moat, be sure to clean up everything."

"The ones that can be burned are burned, and the ones that can't be burned are dragged to both sides. The water in the moat will flow to some extent, and it will be easier to defend the city tomorrow."

Clean the battlefield and be on duty at night.

For a regular army, this can be regarded as a basic operation. Even if Xia Houyuan didn't say anything, some generals would take the initiative to ask him for orders to act.

It's just that they are facing the Yellow Turban Army, such a refugee army that often does not follow the routine, so Xia Houyuan needs to personally deploy it.

These things have been ordered.

Xia Houyuan turned his head and saw Cao Ang.

Hurry up and bow to him.

After Cao Ang returned the salute, he smiled and said to Xia Houyuan: "General Xiahou, remember to go to the county government to have dinner together later, and we need to discuss tomorrow's battle plan afterwards."

"General, don't worry, the end general will remember!"

…………

That night.

After dinner, Cao's father and son, together with the generals in the army, and several counselors who came with the army, had a discussion that lasted for more than half an hour.

It is mainly about the battle plan for tomorrow.

Although today's battle went smoothly, there were almost no casualties in our own army.

But as long as a discerning person knows it.

Starting tomorrow is the hard core of this battle. As long as the enemy enters the stage of climbing the city wall, it will be a meat grinder for both sides.

Besides today's battle.

It also really consumed a lot of Cao Jun's arrows. Although some of them can be recovered after going out of the city after nightfall, the proportion is not high. A considerable part must have been deformed and cannot be recycled.

A strict arrangement has been carried out.

And after arranging the tasks respectively.

The meeting is dissolved.

Cao Ang then went to the temporary residence he had arranged for himself. During the special period, there were no servants, so it was Dian Wei who carried the lantern and walked in front.

"Ok?"

"General, there is a man standing in front of your room. He can't see his face clearly. I don't know what his purpose is!"

When Cao Ang was walking in a vague way.

Suddenly, Dian Wei's warning sound came from his ear.

He immediately stared at it.

It was a thin figure with a hair crown tied on his head. Cao Ang only took a look and guessed who this person was.

"This person is my good friend, Ah Dian, rest early tonight, you don't have to guard my place."

"Here!"

Since he was someone his general knew, of course Dian Wei would not look for trouble, but handed the lantern to Cao Ang very readily, and went into the next room by himself.

……

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

That's right, it was Wannian Princess Liu Ping who was waiting in front of Cao Ang's room.

At this moment, Her Royal Highness is wrapped in a black robe, which completely covers up her soft and delicate skin.

Still wearing the familiar hair crown, with a long sword hanging from his waist, he looks heroic and extraordinary.

At this moment, Liu Ping just turned around and closed the door.

After hearing Cao Ang's inquiry.

While taking off his black robe by the dim candlelight, he replied casually with a slight smile.

"It's the first time I went to the battlefield today, and I personally watched such a magnificent scene. I was really excited and couldn't help myself. I couldn't sleep at all, so I simply came to sit with you."

"Shouldn't bother you?"

This said.

Cao Ang waved his hand decisively.

"With His Royal Highness accompanying me to talk at night by candlelight, I will not feel disturbed for a long time."

Liu Ping let out a "ha" and didn't take Cao Ang's joke to heart at all.

On the contrary, Bling Bling blinked his eyes twice, a rare soft light appeared in his pupils.

He looked at Cao Ang with a little watery look.

"General Cao's brave deeds, in the past, I have only heard about it from other people, and seen it in documents and files, but I have never experienced it with my own eyes."

"Today is an eye-opener. If we really meet, we will be more famous. General Cao's majesty on the battlefield is even better than the rumors!"

Who doesn't like being complimented by others?

Even since Cao Ang came to this era, he has received compliments from too many people.

But in the face of the princess's unsparing praise.

He still felt a little joy.

But he still said humbly on the face: "Your Highness, it's all the soldiers who served bravely. I just made a little contribution."

"Let's not talk about me, how does Your Highness feel on the battlefield today, is there any discomfort?"

……

When it comes to myself.

Liu Ping suddenly became more excited.

On the original face with a bit of heroic appearance, two blushes quietly appeared, dotted on the left and right cheeks.

Some are surprisingly cute.

"Shocking, standing on such a vast battlefield, it really seems to be in the middle of heaven and earth."

"When the war drums sounded, and there was a sound of shouting and killing, it seemed that the blood was rushing up all over the body. It was really hot."

Speaking of which.

Liu Ping stuck out her tongue quietly, bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, and made a look of hesitating to speak.

After hesitating for a while.

Cai said to Cao Ang with a little bit of shyness: "To tell you the truth, I shot a few arrows down the city while others were not paying attention, as if I shot an enemy soldier."

This is not surprising.

But for Princess Wannian.

But it is definitely a first-time experience!

After all, as the princess of the Han Dynasty, the daughter who was favored by the first emperor, even if she was skilled at bowing horses, she would at most hunt wild animals in the royal garden.

It is impossible to have such an opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, let alone a large-scale battle of more than 20 levels.

Therefore, for Liu Ping, it was a novel experience that was enough to shock her mind.

……

"Your Highness is really full of martial arts!"

Cao Ang made a gesture of praise from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Ping only realized it later, and realized that she seemed to have lost her composure.

Immediately put away the expression, and pretended to stroke the hair on his head to restore himself to normal.

"It made the general laugh. In fact, I don't like the feeling of harvesting human lives on the battlefield. I watched the lives that originally belonged to the people of the Han Dynasty disappear into this world."

"I will inevitably feel a little lost."

"It's just that the world is in chaos today, and these people who used to keep their own law and order have become part of the troubled world. Although they will end up in the land they are in today, it is also caused by the loss of land."

"But after all, they are ruining the strength of our Han Dynasty. As long as our army is invincible, they will cause more and more serious damage, so I can only kill them."

I don't know if it's to save the image.

Still analyzing myself in depth.

Liu Ping said a lot.

Cao Ang nodded repeatedly.

"Your Highness, you don't need to say much, I know what you want."

"The carefree princess who was supposed to enjoy life all her life, actually came to this cruelest battlefield with a weapon in her hand. You are doing your part for the Han Dynasty."

"If people in the world know about it, they will only have admiration for you and will not be harsh. Even if the late emperor knows about it, they will be full of praise for you!"

……

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

This skill is Cao Ang's most proficient skill.

When facing Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and others, he has already practiced it perfectly.

So when using it against Liu Ping, how can Her Royal Highness resist it?

Cao Ang's words.

It was as if it was directly on her heart, and scratched twice heavily, saying that she felt comfortable all over.

After the Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, Liu Ping took it as his mission to restore the country and restore the Han Dynasty.

I hope that after a hundred years, when I see my father, I can live up to my father's trust.

And at the same time.

Liu Ping also hopes that someone can understand what she did, instead of seeing her as an ambitious woman who wants to be Empress Lu after knowing what she has done.

Therefore, Cao Ang's words.

It can be said that it is very appetizing for Princess Wannian.

that's nice!

The man in front of me is really a good man, he understands me so well, it's a pity that he doesn't want to be the emperor's son-in-law.

Otherwise, when he returned to the Han Dynasty, his life would be completely complete.

thought here.

Her Royal Highness has half shed her hard outer shell, revealing her soft interior.

A pair of eyes is even more shimmering.

There is faint water mist flowing in it.

Just a moment later.

After all, Liu Ping managed to control herself, and quickly restrained her appearance, becoming the stoic, resolute, heroic woman again.

……

"General Cao, it's getting late, and I won't disturb your rest anymore, let's take my leave first!"

Realizing that if I stay any longer, it is likely to lead to a further change in mentality.

After all, after experiencing the grand battle during the day today, my psychological defense line has been somewhat lowered, and it is easy to be invaded by foreign objects.

Liu Ping resolutely bid farewell to Cao Ang.

There is nothing wrong with Cao Ang.

Although he felt that Her Royal Highness's mentality was fluctuating, he really didn't think about it in a deeper direction.

What's more, even if you know it, it's not suitable to do more things. Emotions need to be built slowly and step by step.

"Shh!"

Cao Ang got up and sent Liu Ping to the door.

But when the princess was about to go out.

Cao Ang still reminded me a little more.

"Your Highness, tomorrow's battle will not be as fierce as today's. The intensity of the battlefield will be far higher than today's. If you continue to stay on the top of the city, there will be many dangers."

"Your Highness, please be careful tomorrow, and never put yourself in danger. It is best to stay on the tower until the truce between the two sides!"

This kind of thing cannot but be exhorted.

After all, Liu Ping was on the battlefield for the first time.

Many things are unclear.

If you really want to think that the battlefield is a fun place, if you stand on the top of the city in a daze, any stray arrow will kill her.

Listening to Cao Ang's kind reminder.

Princess Wannian bowed slightly and bowed her hands in salute.

"Thank you, General, for reminding me that Ping will not act recklessly without considering the seriousness of the matter!"

…………

After a night.

It was still early morning.

The enemy army outside the city has already launched the attack horn, it can be seen that they can't wait, and they are waiting to break through the city as soon as possible to alleviate the embarrassment in the army at this moment.

From Shouzhang County all the way south.

The distance spanned during the period is too long.

Although a lot of food and grass were plundered in successive battles before, they couldn't stand such consumption.

Therefore, it must be replenished in a short time, otherwise the food and grass will be exhausted soon.

Therefore, the offense and defense are among the two sides.

The yellow turban thieves outside the city are the most anxious.

In the face of the enemy's menacing approach, Cao Jun was not timid at all. Most of the soldiers had already gone to the top of the city under the leadership of their generals.

Some mid-level and high-ranking generals rushed to Beicheng while stuffing food into their mouths.

Outside Jinxiang County at the moment.

It has already been roughly cleaned up.

The corpses piled up like a mountain had been dragged to the wilderness last night, and they were set on fire and burned completely.

As for the corpses that fell in the moat, only a part of them could be roughly cleaned up, and the corpses located in the deepest part of the river had to be temporarily shelved because of the lack of time.

But even so.

The moat has also started flowing again.

Restored part of the defense ability.

…………

"Kill!"

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the two sides inside and outside the city had long been fighting.

The cries of killing that have never stopped since the early morning have already made everyone on the battlefield numb.

The siege party tried its best.

The top floor of the building car was directly abandoned and replaced by archers on the middle and lower floors, fighting back against the city.

Taking advantage of the night to fiddle with the crashed car.

The cloud ladders that have been densely hung on the top of the city are really innumerable and dazzling.

Naturally, the defenders were not sitting still.

The same is the means.

Use crossbow arrows to shoot the archers in the building car, then use wooden mines to smash and crash the car, and use various means to push down the ladder.

And after exhausting all means.

Naturally, it is close combat.

The two sides surrounded the north wall of Jinxiang City, blood flowed like a river, and I don't know how many layers of corpses were laid under the city. It was even exaggerated that after the yellow scarf soldiers fell from the ladder, they fell on the mountain of corpses without any serious problems.

and corresponding to it.

But casualties also began to appear in the city.

No matter how much advantage you have, facing such a non-stop high-pressure offensive, it is impossible not to pay the price.

……

But generally speaking.

The difference in casualty ratio is still relatively large.

The number of deaths and injuries of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army was particularly exaggerated. Basically, one person was killed or injured in the city, and ten people outside the city would lose their lives at the same time.

This is the battle loss ratio that was raised only after the close combat, otherwise the timeline would move forward, the gap on the battlefield would be even greater, and the deaths and injuries of the Yellow Turban Army would be even more painful.

Follow this trend.

I am afraid that there is no need to wait until the food and grass are exhausted. The siege party will lose morale and collapse because of the heavy casualties.

The victory of the war is not far away!
It's looming in front of you!
