The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao and Xun Yu on the hillside are still playing chess.

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister, you are going to let the tiger go back to the mountain, which will cause endless troubles!"

Cao Cao responded unremittingly: "Victory is not instant. We let him go back this time, hoping to attract more tigers so that I can catch them all."

Xun Yu replied with a smile: "The Prime Minister is still brilliant!"

At this time, the soldiers came to report that Zhao Yun had returned to Shouchun City, and asked the prime minister for instructions.

"How many people have we lost in this battle?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, we have killed more than [-] people in this battle, and the generals who died in the battle include Xia Houen and other books as generals."

"What? Xiahouen." Xiahouen is Cao Cao's nephew, and he is the most favored by Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard that his favorite nephew was killed by Zhao Yun, he couldn't help being furious, but he was about to explode Cao Cao still didn't get angry, that's because he knew that the king's most taboo is moodiness, so now he pretends to be calm, and said with a smile: "Xiahouen is dead, Xiahouen is dead, Xiahouen is just a general, I sacrificed a general but besieged Youzhou's most elite Youzhou cavalry, if we can attract all the troops of that wild boy to come here, wouldn't we be able to pacify the entire Jingxiang Nine Counties in one battle?"

After listening, Xun Yu laughed and said, "Prime Minister, you are really wise. Next, I wish the Prime Minister that the entire Jingzhou can be pacified."

Cao Cao laughed, and after a burst of laughter, he ordered to the messenger: "Order all the soldiers to rest for a day, and officially launch an attack tomorrow."

"Yes."

Just after the soldiers sent an order, Cao Cao first arranged for the army to surround the entire Shouchun City, and the remaining soldiers and horses were all included in the Shouchun City, and then rested for a day.

Let's talk about returning to Zhao Yun and thousands of remnants and retreating to Shouchun City. All the soldiers were out of breath. Zhao Yun had already entered the city and immediately jumped off his horse.

At this moment in the city, Guan Jing prepared not only five thousand archers, but also hundreds of tanks of water. All the soldiers got off their horses one after another. They took off their battle armor one after another, and all the people looked at each other to see that there were layers of sweat, and some people's hair was completely wet.

However, General Guan Jing who was next to him came over and said, "General, I'll bring some honey water for the general, how do you think?"

After Zhao Yun yelled a bowl, he yelled: "Brothers don't drink it, how can I drink it?"

Zhao Yun turned to Guan Jing and said, "Bring me all the honey."

When Guan Jing heard Zhao Yun's order, he thought Zhao Yun had a big drink, so he hurriedly ordered: "Come here, bring honey water to the general."

After Zhao Yun cut off the honey water, he sprinkled the jars of honey directly into the large water tanks, and then shouted: "Soldiers, in ancient times Huo Qubing once went to Jiuquan and sprinkled the fine wine bestowed by Emperor Wu of Han into Jinquan. Among them, I had a boozy drink with the soldiers. From then on, Jinquan was renamed Jiuquan, and Huo Qubing also gained the reputation of Dahan Shuangbi. I, Zhao Yun, do not seek to be compared with Dahan Shuangbi, but I, Zhao Yun, have the determination to share weal and woe with you, brother Let's drink together today."

Speaking of Zhao Yun taking the lead in scooping up a bowl with a bowl and cleaning it up first, the rest of the soldiers also scooped up the bowl one after another and started to drink. Zhao Yun persuaded, "General Guan, let's have a drink with us!" Under the circumstances, he couldn't refuse, and began to drink gently.

All soldiers, after drinking.They shouted loudly one after another: "We must win, we must win, we must win..."

On the second day, the autumn wind was blowing, and the burnt flags were rolled up in the yellow sand. In the long sand and stones, the smoking wood gave off a disgusting stench.

A few vultures hovered over the corpses that had not been completely buried by sand and stones. Several arrows were still on the corpses, but the broken spear was still in the hands of the corpses.In the distance, the screams of killing can be heard endlessly, perhaps there will be tens of thousands more corpses tomorrow morning.

Yinfeng began to howl, as if to wake up the dead soul.

Although it is already the second day, after yesterday's battle, the corpses of both the Cao army and the Chu army were exhausted because the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and because too many people died in the battle, so they didn't have time to clean up yesterday. Dead bodies.

…………

Under the city, under the support of Cao Ren and Cao Hong, Cao Cao laid down his position under Chengxia.

There was only a sound of crisp drum horns, which was so clear and distant, Zhao Yun and Guan Jing stood again, on the city wall, they saw the majestic army formation.

Below you can see Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry in the center, phalanx infantry in front, guard cavalry on the left and right sides, shield soldiers in the first two rows, pikemen on the second row, sword players on the third row, and sword players on the fourth row. It was an archer, and the soldiers under the city turned out to be all brightly armored, and all the weapons were magnificent..., the horses below were neighing, and the drums were beating.

Zhao Yun watched and saw huge things moving behind him.

Zhao Yun asked, "What is that?"

Guan Jing looked forward, then turned to Zhao Yun and asked suspiciously: "General, it may be..."

Guan Jing took another good look ahead, "General, that's the Thunderbolt Chariot."

"Pili Chariot, it seems that Cao Cao is about to attack the city!"

"General, I think so."

Zhao Yun turned his head to look at this former Youzhou warrior, and even started to feel a little afraid.

Zhao Yun asked suspiciously: "General Guan, are you afraid?"

"General, I'm not afraid of them. I just saw this battle. If we all die here, our Youzhou army may really become extinct here. I think our best way is to break through. We must fight with the king of Chu." Get in touch, and then the armies will join up and attack them together."

Looking at the army formation below, Zhao Yun thought about it and said, "General Guan, you and I have followed Gongsun Zan since the Youzhou uprising and fought against Mobei in the first battle. We used to have five hundred cavalrymen break through the enemy's thousands of soldiers and horses. We have not yet If we are fighting with the local army, we will ask the king of Chu for help, aren't we too useless?"

"No, General, we have to judge the situation. I think we need to rush out of the city today and pass the information to me, King Chu."

"Okay, General Guan, I will ask the general about the matter of rushing out of the city. Zhao Yun is here to ask the soldiers of the whole city."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun directly bowed deeply, and then they began to watch the changes in the army formation below.

I saw a 500-meter-wide opening began to appear in the army formation, and suddenly thunderbolt cars appeared in the 500-meter army formation opening, and at the same time there were large carts behind the thunderbolt carts, and above the carts was a piece of land. boulder.

In front of the thunderbolt car are ladders prepared by more than 5000 siege soldiers, and behind them are rows of crossbowmen and spearmen. The entire army is rigorous and mighty.

A war is imminent.
