My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Xu Huang leaned on the wall, and a thick exhaustion rose in his heart, and he didn't feel it when he was fighting just now.

"Pass the order, so that you can save your brother!" Xu Huang ordered.

As soon as the herald retreated, a familiar and unfamiliar terrifying whirring voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "All lie down!" With that, he lay down first.

Immediately afterward, countless boulders smashed on the city wall, and when the blood and flesh flew on the city wall, the ghosts cried and howled.

After a while, the boulder rain stopped. Xu Huang, who was lucky enough to escape, hurriedly ordered everyone to go down the city wall, he was really worried that the Northern Army would suddenly come again.

I can't blame Xu Huang for being negligent, after all, there has never been a precedent for such a situation, and after Ming Jin collects his troops, who will launch such a helpless long-range strike.

Looking at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping on the city wall from afar, Lu Bu laughed, and Xu Shu on the side shook his head with a wry smile.

When the army returned to the camp, the first thing to do was to count the damage and results of the battle. In this battle, the Northern Army suffered more than 11,000 casualties, including more than 7,000 killed; It is estimated that Cao Jun's casualties will definitely not be lower than this number.

The generals could not help but fall silent, they did not expect to pay such heavy casualties on the first day. The atmosphere inside the tent was a little dreary.

At this time, Lu Bu suddenly laughed and said, "Why are you all crying with sad faces? Although our army suffered a lot of casualties, Cao's army suffered heavy casualties!

Zhang Jaw glanced at Lu Bu, who had a proud face, and couldn't help but say in his heart: You are very open!

"Let's not discuss this matter for now, the first priority is to treat the wounded sergeant." Xu Shu said.

Lu Bu nodded, then looked at Gao Shun and ordered, "Gao Shun, you go and take charge of this matter."

Gao Shun stood up and clenched his fists and promised: "Yes." Then he withdrew from the big tent.

"Although what General Lu said makes sense, we can't just die with Cao Jun!" Zhang Jaw frowned.

What Lu Bu is best at is fighting hard and killing, and what he hates the most is thinking and strategizing. Lü Bu Xi rubbed his temples habitually and said to Xu Shu: "I'm too lazy to think about this, Xu Shu, you can think about it, anyway, the lord let you come to get the idea." Everyone

suddenly collapsed, how could there be such a boss! But everyone is used to it.

Xu Shu smiled, then frowned slightly, and said: "Xu Huang is very cautious, it's not easy to let him be fooled!"

Lu Bu rolled his eyes, "If it's easy, then do you need to let Xu Shu figure out a way?"

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I have to observe the city defense of Yecheng first."

Lu Bu immediately said: "This is easy to do." Gao Gao. "

The last will be." Gao Ran immediately made a promise.

"You lead five hundred cavalry to protect the army division to probe the enemy."

"Yes."

Xu Shu nodded, then stood up and hugged his fist at Lu Bu and said, "Then I'll go to investigate the enemy immediately!"

At this time, Zhang Jaw said to Lu Bu: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you wait until after dinner?

Lu Bu thought that everyone hadn't eaten for a day, and he couldn't help but feel a little reckless, so he prepared to let everyone finish eating first.

But before the words came out, Xu Shu smiled: "No need. It's not too late, just time to investigate.

Seeing that Xu Shu insisted, Lu Bu didn't say anything more, but said, "Xu Shu, go and come back quickly, I'll prepare a meal for you."

Xu Shu smiled, hugged his fist at everyone, and left the tent.

Immediately, five hundred elite cavalry, under the leadership of Gao Lan, escorted Xu Shu out of the camp in the afterglow of the setting sun. At this moment, in the camp, all the soldiers are busy preparing dinner, and some people are carefully treating the wounded soldiers, and the general Gao Shun is patrolling among the wounded soldiers, Gao Shun is not very good at speaking, but his unique affinity makes the wounded soldiers feel at ease. The entire camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army appeared to be very orderly.

Compared with the orderly army of the Northern Expedition, the Cao army in Yecheng was in chaos. Corpses of various shapes were being carried down from the city walls one after another, countless wounded soldiers leaned against the eaves on both sides of the street and wailed in pain, and many soldiers were scrambling to bandage and treat their wounds, and the atmosphere in Yecheng was a bit of hell.

The streets were littered with devastated walls and bloodstained boulders. Fires broke out in several houses, and many Cao soldiers were putting out the fires, but although the fire was large, the fire point that had been isolated should not spread the flames to other places. Thick smoke swirled in midair.

The mood of the soldiers of the Cao army was very low, first the general Niu Fu was beheaded by the opponent's formation, and then the landslide and tsunami-like offensive launched by the Northern Army.

Many of the recruits in Cao's army did not believe in the legends about the Northern Army, but now, they do.

Walking through the wounded soldiers with a blood-colored Xu Huang, comforting the wounded sergeants from time to time, Xu Huang seemed very confident, in fact, only he knew his true thoughts.

How many more days can we stay?

Commanding the vigilance, Xu Huang dragged his tired body back to the office, and some of the generals were already waiting, including Li Dian.

"General." The generals saluted. Everyone looked tired and had a hint of worry in their eyes.

Xu Huang looked at the expressions of the generals in his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, after the lord defeats Yuan Shao's army, you can turn around and fight a decisive battle with the northern army." The

generals' frowning brows stretched slightly, Cao Cao's main force was now their only hope.

Xu Huang looked at Li Dian and asked, "What are the casualties of our army?"

Li Dian pursed his lips with difficulty, and then replied: "Our army has suffered more than 15,000 casualties.

Li Dian's voice was not loud, but Xu Huang was taken aback.

"What?! Fifteen thousand!? Xu Huang, who has always been moody, is already a little out of shape at the moment.

It's no wonder that Xu Huang was so surprised, the battle loss ratio of the offensive and defensive sides is generally about two to one, but at this moment, the battle loss ratio between the Northern Army and the Cao Army has not yet reached one to one, how can this not shock Xu Huang.

"Li Dian, you're not mistaken, right?" Xu Huang asked incredulously.

Li Dian shook his head heavily and continued: "Of the fifteen thousand casualties, nearly 10,000 were killed! Many of the wounded soldiers were very badly wounded! The implication is that the death toll will rise.

Sighing, he sighed and said with emotion: "I could never have dreamed of paying such heavy casualties on the first day of the siege of the city!" The

crowd fell silent, and such a huge casualty figure weighed on everyone's hearts like a boulder. If this development continues, how many days will the total 80,000 defenders be able to consume?

After a moment of silence, Li Dian continued: "Of all the people who died, almost two thousand were killed by the other party's catapults. The catapults of the Northern Army are really powerful! "。 When it came to the catapult of the Northern Army, everyone's faces couldn't help but turn white, and the boulder rain with a terrifying howl was simply a nightmare for all the soldiers of the Cao Army.

Xu Huang frowned, he was thinking about defensive strategies, he couldn't let the fight go on like this.

What's the solution? took the initiative to attack, but I was afraid that this would be in the hands of the Northern Army; Break through, don't even think about it; robbing grain and grass, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses; ......

Xu Huang thought of a lot of plans, but in the end he denied them.

Sighing, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Li Dian, send a fast horse out of the city to inform the lord of the situation here." Xu Huang could only give this order in the end. Xu Huang meant to let Cao Cao grasp the overall strategic direction according to the situation here.

Li Dian nodded and immediately left the office.

Subsequently, Xu Huang issued several orders, all of which were to strengthen the garrison.

After the generals retreated, Xu Huang looked at the map intently alone, and even the food brought in by his own soldiers failed to alarm him.

At night, the atmosphere in Yecheng seemed to be very tense, a group of soldiers in armor were shuttling quickly through the streets and alleys, and the four city walls were brightly lit.

In the middle of the night, more than a dozen fast horses went out from the south city gate and rushed towards Yanzhou.

Unbeknownst to the dozen or so fast horses, hundreds of pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark night.

"Captain, stop them!"

"No! The military advisor confessed that he must not intercept and kill the Cao army horse team that went south to report the news!

"Why is that?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? If I knew, wouldn't I be a military advisor!

More than a dozen cavalry knights of the Cao Army passed in front of them at a rapid pace, and the ambush soldiers hidden in the darkness did not move.

Almost at the same time, the main force of Cao's army, led by Cao Cao himself, had already reached Dingtao. About 300,000 troops opened a formation outside Dingtao City and confronted the 300,000 troops led by Yuan Shaoqin. The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Yuan Shao felt a little headache, and his advisers were arguing about how to attack Dingtao, and the strategists led by Xu You and Guo Tu advocated attacking immediately, on the grounds that since the emperor had handed over the governance of Qing and Yan Prefectures to Yuan Shao, how could Yuan Shao not help? The opposition, represented by the trial, advocates not attacking for the time being and waiting to see what happens.

The two factions have their own reasons, and Yuan Shao doesn't know how to choose.

In the end, Yuan Shao decided to adopt the suggestion of the trial and not launch an attack on Dingtao for the time being. In Yuan Shao's heart, he had some scruples about the Northern Army behind him, and he didn't want the power in his hands to lose too much.

Yuan Shaojun did not move, Cao Cao was a little surprised by this, he came all the way to the big tent, why did he lie down as soon as he arrived at the place?

"Fengxiao, what the hell is Yuan Shao doing?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia beside him suspiciously.

Guo Jia's complexion at this time was much better than before, and he didn't cough at every turn like before. It seems that the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing is really not in vain.

Guo Jiasi pondered: "Yuan Shao's approach is really strange, I wonder if he wants to let the Northern Army fight with us first, so that he can pick up the cheap?"

"Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that he doesn't have such a resource!" Another strategist, Xun Yu, was skeptical.

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, "Although Yuan Shao doesn't have such a resource, his strategists still have some talent.

Cao Cao nodded slowly, "If Yuan Shao really plans to do so, it will be difficult for us to do it!" We can't afford it! "
