Save the Two-dimensional Devil

"What deal? Say."

"The boy has a friend, and I want to recommend him as a military advisor." Liu Xu cupped his hands and continued, "The boy is not talented, and he is willing to be a vanguard general. If the boy and my friend beat Cao Jun back, you... hand over Xuzhou How about giving me?"

"What's your friend's name?"

"Guo Jia, the name is Fengxiao!" Liu Xu said slowly.

never heard of that.

Tao Qian hesitated, but the vanguard officer was okay, but the position of military adviser... This is a bit troublesome.

"Lord Zhou Mu, don't rush to refuse, let Fengxiao try it for now! Whether he is capable or not, just see if he can form an army. Besides, you have no other way now, how about Give it a go, maybe you still have a chance to win."

Tao Qian pondered carefully for a while, and finally made a decision after a long time: "Okay! As far as you are concerned, if you can really defeat Cao Jun, I, the state shepherd... don't mind doing it!"

With Tao Qian's agreement, Liu Xu was overjoyed that he finally had a chance to flex his muscles.

After bidding farewell to Tao Qian, Liu Xu immediately returned to the inn and told Guo Jia about being a military advisor.

Naturally, Guo Jia was also very happy, his talent finally had a place to use, how could he not be excited.

Early the next morning, the two officially took office, and their residence was moved from the inn to the other courtyard of Tao Qian's mansion.

The entire Xuzhou has only [-] troops!

There are three fires for new officials to take office, and Guo Jia is appointed as a military adviser. Obviously, many people are dissatisfied. He has no credit and no reputation. How can he be a military adviser.

Dissatisfied!

However, they soon became obedient.

Tao Qian personally supervised the army and saluted Guo Jia, who would not accept it?

This is also what Guo Jia requested, time is short, he simply has no time to rely on his own strength to establish prestige, he can only use Tao Qian's strength to make his subordinates fear him.

Even the boss has to salute himself, you errands still want to hold your heads high?

Cao Jun was ready to move, and the battle was imminent, so Guo Jia didn't have much time left. As soon as he took office, he immediately made arrangements.

Dig trenches and lay fences, and arrow siege equipment was transported into the barracks in piles, and then distributed in an orderly manner.

Training, training, training... more than training or training...

A month passed quietly, and the [-] army seemed to have changed all of a sudden, with neat military appearance, high spirits, and strong physique.

Compared with a month ago, the gap is really too big...

This is the difference between having a military adviser and not having a military adviser. They are more professional than others, so the training effect is better. This may be called specialization in the art industry!

Until this time, Tao Qian showed a little gratified smile, Guo Fengxiao... It's interesting!

"Report!"

Pengcheng barracks, the commander's tent, the herald rushed in.

"Report to the military division, Cao's [-] troops are encamping ten miles outside the city, please advise the military division!"

On the herald's forehead, sweat flowed into a stream.

An army of [-] is not a small number. Once the city is attacked, the entire Pengcheng may be destroyed in an instant.

[-] against [-], is it really possible to win?

Many people don't believe it!

Guo Fengxiao didn't believe it either!

If the enemy is Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Guo Fengxiao will definitely not doubt his ability, and will definitely hold a banquet with wine to celebrate his achievements in advance.

However, the opponent is Cao Cao!

"Pay close attention to Cao Jun's movements, and report immediately if there is any change!"

"Yes!"

The heralds retreat.

In the tent camp, Tao Qian, Liu Xu and Pengcheng's main generals were all there. No one was happy when they heard the news, and they were all sullen, obviously not optimistic about this battle!

After all, time is too short.

Xuzhou has a large population, and the number of soldiers can definitely be guaranteed, but it takes time and financial resources to recruit soldiers.

Even if the financial resources are sufficient, an untrained army will only be reduced to cannon fodder!

"The enemy is at hand, and we have no way out. The lives of millions of people in Pengcheng are in our hands. Once the city is destroyed, the old parents, wives, and children of you all will be buried under Cao Jun's iron hoof. Millions of souls, we... have no choice but to fight with our backs!" Guo Jia's fierce eyes swept across the crowd, and his heavy words came out again: "This is a test from the heavens for me in Pengcheng. I, Guo Fengxiao, never thought of living in a corner of Xuzhou. What is Cao Jun! We are all people who want to fight for the world! Even Cao Jun can't win, how can we talk about the world!"

"Defend me in Xuzhou, kill Cao thief!"

"Defend me in Xuzhou, kill Cao thief!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

……

"Dong dong dong..."

The war drums sounded like spring thunder in the open field, piercing the silence of the sky, startling the sleeping birds in the surrounding mountains and forests, and battalion after battalion sounded.

In an instant, with the sound of battalion battle drums beating for more than ten miles, the entire hilly area seemed to be awakened by the dull and huge drum sound.

Then there was the neighing of war horses, the clattering of armor, the sound of thick and heavy footsteps one after another, and the ringing of orbits.

Hundreds of thousands of horsemen started to move, pouring out from different camps, and the four camps suddenly became one.

The sound of horns, horseshoes, footsteps, scuffing of armor, and clashing of swords and swords, as if heavy hammers were hitting the ground, were extremely powerful.

……

Chapter 985 The First Battle

……

In an instant, tens of thousands of troops had gathered in the open space outside the camp.

The sound of two drums passed through, and the assembly of the three armies was completed. Looking around, the ground directly in front of the gate of the camp under the hill was dark and full of human heads.

This is Cao Jun's camp.

After a day of rest, it's time to show your fangs to the world.

This time there were [-] troops dispatched, all elites, all with bright armor, spears, swords and halberds, cold light shining, and high-spirited momentum.

Chariots, cavalry, and infantry have formed their own formations, corps commanders, centurions, Xiaoqi, Zhechong captains, partial generals, vanguard generals, Zhonglang generals, former generals, right generals, left generals, chariot generals, and hussar generals , General, etc., all the generals from small to large took their positions, leading their own phalanx, and waiting for the commander's orders.

Coach Cao Cao, military adviser Xun Yu and others stepped onto the Yuantai to start the general ceremony.

"Soldiers, today is the time for us to put down the thieves and make meritorious deeds. Use your courage and fighting power to subdue the enemy, go forward bravely, and kill the Tao thieves!"

"Go forward bravely and kill the Tao thief!"

Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and the burning blood boiled in the army formation.

"set off!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and the army began to move quickly.

Comrade Lao Cao has never forgotten the vengeance of killing his father. Now that the time is ripe, he doesn't need to bear it anymore.

……

It took less than half an hour to arrive after a few miles of footwork, and a tall city in the far distance suddenly appeared.

Right in front of the city was an open field, about three or four miles away from the city gate, and dozens of enemy phalanxes had already been lined up.

Chariots, cavalry, archers, shield bearers, and heavy armored soldiers gathered together to guard the first line of defense, staring at each other, with knives and guns standing tall, and armored soldiers standing awe-inspiring.

Two hundred paces in front of the enemy soldiers, there is a trench and a fence barbed defense line.

Under the dark cast iron and leaden sky, there are thousands of soldiers in armor, and the cold light of swords and halberds is like a cold moon slanting through a dark room.

The two armies faced each other, facing each other five hundred steps away. The first two rows were closely guarded by long shieldmen, and behind the shieldmen were several rows of light armored archers and crossbowmen.

The phalanx on both sides are chariots and cavalry, followed by heavy armored infantry holding spears and long halberds. This formation is similar to that of the two armies.

Liu Xu, who was the vanguard, had no fear in his heart. The blood of tens of thousands of people condensed into a rope. The chilling aura made people almost stop breathing, but with his cultivation base, there was no such thing as stage fright.

Liu Xu took a deep breath, raised his voice and shouted, "Is the commander of the army in front Cao Ah hiding from Cao Cao?"

In the center of Cao Cao's horse formation, he heard the words and shouted: "So what if you are, so what if you are not? Who are you yellow-haired boy?"

Liu Xu smiled slightly, and shouted: "This is the vanguard general Liu Xu under Tao Gong's command. He has been ordered to wait for you here for a long time. Xuzhou and the Cao family have no grievances and no enmity, why did you bring a large army to approach Pengcheng aggressively, and accuse you of poisoning the people?" Can you afford it? If your Cao family abandons their armor and retreats now, I, Pengcheng, can let the past go, otherwise, on the battlefield today, either you will die or I will live."

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Huang-haired boy, what a big tone, Tao Qian killed my father, can he still be called innocent? The hatred of killing my father is irresistible. Today, my commander came to the city with troops to kill Tao thief. My Cao family is prestigious, and I, Cao Cao, are not so easy to bully!"

Dressed in white clothes, a white horse, holding a long sword, standing tall and handsome, with fluttering robes, like an exile.

Liu Xu raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Don't blame this general for being ruthless, come here, beat the drums and send out troops!"

"Woo... boom boom boom..."

The heavy trombone and the shocking drum sounded at this moment, and all the drummers, horn players, gold ringers, and flag bearers in the enemy army all moved.

As soon as the order was issued, the formation of the whole army began to change. Archers and crossbowmen continued to come to the front row, pulling the bowstrings full, just waiting for the opponent to charge into the battle.

"Positioning Arrow!"

Liu Xu ordered the herald to wave the command flag.

Immediately afterwards, "clank clang clang" sounded from the bowstring, and countless feathered arrows were shot out suddenly, passing through the air and landing at the [-] paces, and they were evenly pierced in a row.

This is the positioning arrow. As the name suggests, it is to determine the location of the arrow. The armies of both sides rush to kill. When entering this range, it is the time for the archer to shoot.

Cao Cao stared coldly at the enemy phalanx in the distance, took a deep breath, and said suddenly: "Send troops!"

When the commander gave an order, the two generals Xu Chu and Xu Huang looked at each other and nodded, then roared loudly.

"Chariots out!"

"Cavalry attack!"
