Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 589 Hanzhong Offensive and Defensive Battle

In the palace of Baidi City in the State of Qin, only Cao Chong was by Cao Cao's side, and it was rare for the father and son to be alone together.

"Chong'er, do you think your father can win against the Jin army this time?" Cao Cao asked Cao Chong without changing his face, no one knew what Cao Cao was thinking now.

Cao Chong gritted his teeth, frowned, and answered directly: "Father once issued an appeal against Dong, and the princes in the pass responded one after another. He is a hero of the time. A hero will never fail."

Clenching his hands tightly, Cao Chong has grown up now and can understand his father's situation.

"Hahaha! Chong'er really resembles me the most, but it's a pity...Chong'er, between father and son, don't hide anything. Tell father what you think. The person sitting in front of you is not the king of Qin, but the king of Qin. Your father, Cao Mengde." Cao Cao said kindly to his son Cao Chong with his calm and composed expression.

Cao Chong lowered his head even lower, his shoulders trembled slightly, apparently struggling in his heart.It's just that he finally decided to speak out what was in his heart without vomit.

"Father, forgive me for your harsh words. The moment you contacted the king of the Guishuang Empire, Wei Su, your heart was already defeated. You admitted that Jin is not as good as Qin, so you asked for foreign aid from the barbarians. Wei Su. , They are not the same as Nanman Menghuo, they are different from Shamoke! They are real barbarians, barbarians like foreigners in the prairie! You have violated your original intention by leading Wei Sutipo across the Nanman mountain area, haven’t you?” Cao Chong I feel sorry for my father, a hero whose mission is to save the common people, was gradually persecuted and fell to this point.

Cao Cao sighed helplessly, he could not deny this, because he had realized it a long time ago.

"Chong'er is right. The heart of being a father has already been defeated. Han Wu is indeed powerful, and he is not as good as him as a father. Wei Sudipo, he is the largest alien empire near the Chinese mainland. The reason for bringing this person to help is for my father. Prepare with both hands. If you can defeat the state of Jin with Wei Suti's words, then you will not hesitate to be your father. Rebellion. I heard that Han Wu's navy has opened up a lot of territory overseas. Isn't Chong'er curious about what the world looks like overseas? When Han Wu destroyed Wei Sutipo, Guishuang died. I, Huaxia It is still the strongest nation in the known domain of Italy! At that time, if you die for your father, you will die, so why worry? I will die, but I hope that the descendants of the Cao family will survive. A gift from Han Wu!" Cao Cao lowered his head, admitting that he had already admitted defeat in his heart, and that Jin was indeed inferior to Qin.

Tears welled up in Cao Chong's eyes. His father had lost his fighting spirit as a hero, and he had accepted defeat.Although the dignity prevents the father from submitting like this, but without the fighting spirit, all possibilities of decisive victory will be lost.

"Chong'er, from today onwards, you are the head of the Cao family. Remember, you are the head of the Cao family, not the son of the King of Qin. On the day when the Baidi City is broken, as a father, you will show your dignity and keep the Cao family. Go down, father is going to rest." Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, and waved Cao Chong to retreat.

Resuming the self-proclaimed "Father King", Cao Cao returned from the status of a father to the noble status of King Qin.

Cao Chong stood up, held back his tears, bowed and exited the palace.

Bian sighed, walked up to Cao Cao, knelt down and poured Cao Cao a cup of tea.

"Ah, is there really no other way? If they really lose, Zihuan and Zijian will really..." Bian's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't know how to express herself.

Cao Cao snorted and said, "If you want Zihuan to live, he may not be willing. He is the prince of Qin, and he is the king of Qin alone. He wants to live and die with Qin! As for Zijian, even if he wants to protect him alone , but do you think Han Wu can forgive Zijian? Han Wu is not the kind of soft-hearted person, and he will not hesitate at all on matters of principle."

With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao expressed his meaning clearly, and Cao Zhi will accompany Qin to the burial together.

Mrs. Bian burst into tears, and his children died one after another. Having already lost Cao Zhang, she couldn't bear to lose Cao Zhi and Cao Pi any more.

"If you want to stay with your son for a few more days, go to Hanzhong. Hanzhong, if you can stick to it for a few days, Baidi City is even more unsafe. Xiong'er can't leave Baidi City, it's to protect him, lonely I am sure to keep the heirs of the Cao family, but I can't keep Zihuanhe

Zijian. "Cao Cao stood up and went back to the room to rest. Now he started to have a splitting headache. He knew that his life was not long.

Hanzhong
"His Royal Highness, the Kingdom of Jin has officially declared war on us. Now Zhu Lingyin's army of [-] is on his way to Hanzhong, and Han Wu's army seems to be heading south to Xiangyang."

"What? Zhu Ling's 40 troops came to Hanzhong? And Chen Qingzhi's 15 white-robed troops, how can we fight this battle, and we can only passively defend the city! It is said that the Jin State claims to have a million troops going south, but in fact it is only [-] Ten thousand people, Han Wu headquarters should have [-], if it goes to Xiangyang, even the king will not be able to stop it!"

"Your Majesty naturally has a decision. Our task is to guard Hanzhong, and it is said that General Xiahou Dun's [-] elite army has left Jiangxia and is on its way back to Baidi City."

"That's right, our task now is to guard Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong is not lost, the northwest of Baidi City will be safe. Xiangyang does not dare to attack Baidi City rashly. Our strength is enough to threaten the rear of the Jin army."

The Hanzhong guards talked a lot, and expressed their concern about the news of the prince Cao Pi.

Cao Pi snorted coldly. Seeing that the soldiers hadn't realized the danger, he said, "General Xiahoudun left Jiangxia. It was already a month ago. But now the news has only reached Hanzhong, and all the generals know what it means." What are you wearing?"

The faces of all the generals changed when they said this information, of course they knew what it meant.The news from Jiang Xia was only sent to Hanzhong a month ago, which was a full delay of 20 days.It is enough to see that the state of Jin has begun to block the sources of news in Hanzhong.

"Zihuan, this matter is not good. I think we should shrink our troops. Although we are not afraid of Zhu Ling, we have to guard against Xu Rong's sneak attack. Xu Rong defeated the general Guo Huai, and he has been staring at him like a mad dog for a long time. Baishui Pass is not safe." Cao Ren narrowed his eyes, not as shocked as the other soldiers, but began to think about the strategy to deal with Zhu Ling.

Fazheng smiled slightly, he had thought of this a long time ago, and said: "Xu Rong can't get away. Now that the Qiang people are rebelling, Xu Rong still needs troops to suppress it, and he has no time to send troops south. The first task now is to kill Zhu Ling as much as possible. It's almost impossible to succeed, but it will take a try."

"Report! Report to His Royal Highness that something is wrong. Zhu Ling's army has broken through our defenses. Now they are approaching the city and are about to attack the city!"

Just when Cao Pi was about to allocate troops, the city guards suddenly rushed in and reported that the enemy army was approaching the city.

"What's going on! Who is in charge of the defense of the Hanzhong area? Is it dry food?" Cao Pi stared wide-eyed and questioned the soldiers.

Cao Ren glanced at Cao Hong. Cao Hong was responsible for this matter. Even if Zhu Ling had a large army, Cao Hong could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty.

"Your Highness, I'll go to defend the city first. Now is not the time to question the crime. Brothers, let's go." Cao Ren led all the soldiers to the city tower directly. Instead of questioning and blaming here, it is better to protect the city gate.

Cao Hong lowered his head. He was responsible for this matter. Although Zhu Ling's army was large in number, he did not send out enough scouts.

Under the city of Hanzhong, Zhu Ling squinted his eyes. The [-] vanguard army under his command had already destroyed all the strongholds and county towns near Hanzhong.

Seeing the high city of Hanzhong and the slopes around the city wall from a distance, Zhu was deeply moved: "I used to think that Xue Rengui was incompetent and guessed that Hanzhong could not be conquered, but now it seems that Hanzhong City is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack! The terrain outside the city wall is not difficult to see, and it may take a lot of troops to conquer here."

"General, should we launch an attack directly and give the enemy a blow?" All the soldiers were furious, and the spirit of the expedition just now had not faded away, and they wished to conquer Hanzhong City in one fell swoop.

Zhu Ling snorted softly, thinking that it is a fool's dream to conquer Hanzhong until today, but it is still necessary to give the opponent a blow.

"Okay! If that's the case, you are allowed to attack the city, but don't rush in. Go!" Zhu Ling drew out the sword at his waist and ordered the soldiers under his command to charge and attack the city.

"Kill! Brothers, take Hanzhong City!"

Thirty thousand elite soldiers charged forward, their morale was so high that they could really take down Hanzhong City.

On the city tower, Cao Ren heard the roar of the enemy's charge and ran up, and shouted the order: "Quick, throw wood and stones directly! Quick!"

"General, Yuki can prepare supplies for war, this..."

"I told you to cast quickly, there are so many nonsense that cost your life, and it's not the time for battle?" Cao Ren stared angrily, and waved to Cao Hong as he spoke, telling him to move up the huge wooden boulder together with him. throw.

This is Cao Ren's style of leading by example.

boom……

One by one, boulders and trees were thrown from the towers of Hanzhong City. A small part fell into the moat, and most of them rolled down the outer edge of the moat, rushing towards the Jin soldiers.

"Pay attention to dodge, continue to charge!"

The soldiers of the Jin army were fearless of death, the soldiers of the heavy infantry gathered together to fight against the boulders of wood, and the soldiers of the light armor dodged skillfully and charged by wandering.

"Fire the arrows, just shoot the arrows!" Cao Ren saw that the soldiers of the Jin army were so tough and fearless, so he could only order to start shooting the arrows.

Arrows, the most scarce supplies during the battle, can only be used now.Without perfect defense and cooperation, if the Jin army is allowed to approach Hanzhong City, it will be easily conquered in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the arrows are very good at limiting the speed of the soldiers of the Jin army's charge and the strength of the troops reaching the city.
