Three Kingdoms: I Have a Showdown, I Am Cao Cao

What a dense forest of leaves, under the rain of arrows pouring down like a torrential rain, they also turned into scattered fragments—

And those Jiangdong children who can only watch the arrow rain fly towards him, but have no reaction time, not to mention—

Zhu Huan shouted and ordered the cavalry to return to the original road with shields. He desperately cut off the arrows flying next to him, and quickly asked the messengers to quickly convey to the army that they had encountered an ambush in the north of Hefei City, but he didn't want to, just said that. , the messenger who hurriedly left also fell to the ground with an arrow.

"Ah ah ah - damn it... hurry up! Break through with me, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time!"

However, Zhang Liao and Wen Pin had planned an ambush for so long, how could Zhu Huan simply escape?

Uphill and downhill...even the depression they waded before...Cao's army came from all directions, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth.

Under such circumstances, no matter how brave and cautious Zhu Huan was, he was powerless.

The high morale of Cao Jun constantly squeezed the last living space of Zhu Huan's army... Of course, Zhu Huan was really capable... In the end, under Zhu Huan's unremitting efforts, he was able to kill himself for the army by himself. a bloody road.

With scars and blood all over his body, Zhu Huan finally led the remaining less than a thousand people and fled to the south bank of Shishui——

It's just... Obviously, the main force of Soochow, who had just experienced the war, was not feeling very well.

I really don't know what Zhu Huan would think when he returned to the camp and saw the devastated appearance of the army.

However, for Cao Jun, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the Soochow people fleeing, this is simply a matter of relief. Wen Ping took the lead in singing the victory... For a time, the city and the city were filled with the joy of the victory. .

-

The so-called thunder is loud and the rain is small, which is probably the Soochow people today.

In the midst of tension, all the generals of the Eastern Wu Dynasty...except for Pan Zhang who stayed at the rear...were all disheartened and dejected at the moment.

At this moment, Zhang Zhao was clutching the bandage wrapped around his head as if he had grown a long head. After hearing the news of Zhu Huan's return from the defeat, he almost lost his breath on the spot.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhu Huan was sitting on his knees in the center of the temporary tent, his head bowed, and he didn't say a word, while Zhang Zhao coughed violently... even his face flushed red——

Zhu Huan's defeat was something he really didn't expect.

"How... how is it possible... how is it possible that they know our actions like the back of their hands? Could it be..."

Zhang Zhao's right hand slammed heavily on the table top, but the violent vibration feedback from his hand made the top of his head ooze a lot of blood... Sometimes, when a person turns his back, he is out of luck. Zhao was really not in danger at all today... but he was smashed to death by the broken shed for no reason.

"Gloriously wounded", his confidence in his speech is still so hard, but his brain circuits are still strange.

"We cast a traitor!"

"what?"

When everyone heard Zhang Zhao's remarks, some were shocked and some were confused, but in short... today's fiasco was a complete blow to the arrogant attitude of the Eastern Wu people.

I don't know if there is a final result in this debate... But it is clear that, until the next morning, the soldiers and horses of Soochow did not relax their vigilance, and kept their vigilance at all times... Vigilant that had already called out. Hu Dasleep did not intend to attack their Cao Jun at all.

Obviously... if Zhang Zhao knew that his opponent, who had to be vigilant without closing his eyes all night, was recharging his energy in a dream, I really don't know if he would still be able to strengthen his rhetoric that was like a idiot's dream.

Chapter [-] Don't ask, ask is to win the field

The first battle was unfavorable. It should be said that in the first battle with heavy losses and more than [-] soldiers and horses, even if Zhang Zhao was not convinced, he could only follow the advice of his subordinates, fight steadily, and completely surround Hefei first.

Under the circumstance of Zhang Liao's surprise attack all night, it was obvious that everyone was very nervous.

Unfortunately, the other party did not come after all.

Therefore, when the army set off again earlier, all the soldiers of Soochow seemed exhausted.

The only good news may be that Zhu Huan was not seriously injured, but even so, Zhang Zhao did not dare to let a general like Zhu Huan carry out his unrestrained task that day.

-

wow-

After wading across the river, the Soochow soldiers' legs were as heavy as lead.

In addition to the heavy rain of the past few days, on the muddy beach, the restless complaints of the soldiers spread.

Zeng Youyun: Mentality can decide everything——

Absolutely, but in some cases, it makes sense.

Compared with the high-spirited and confident Hefei defenders, the Soochow people at this time had obviously begun to be discouraged.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao and others did not take the risk of attacking his instability again at this time, giving Zhang Zhao some time to breathe, otherwise... maybe... this war could end sooner.

But... let the enemy surround Hefei City, and naturally it is also expected from the tips given by Yi Xiaotian-

The Soochow people don't know how many years of food and grass Hefei has, but Yi Xiaotian is very clear... Before the war, Cao Cao began to mobilize the food, grass and soldiers in Shouchun, intentionally or unintentionally, and he was determined to make Hefei another Eastern Front. Military town - Zhang Zhao's judgment is indeed correct. After experiencing the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao has no extra troops and horses to go to help Hefei.

If you really want to count it, plus the reinforcements Xun Yu later allocated to Hefei, at most [-] reinforcements in Hefei would be a breakthrough.

Under such circumstances... To defend a city like Hefei, food and grass are an indispensable part——

Zhang Liao sent a ranger to detect Zhu Huan's movements in advance, which was unexpected, but even if they did not ambush Zhu Huan at that time and let Zhu Huan free to guerrilla between Shouchun and Hefei, they could not afford to turn it over. What waves...because from the beginning to the end, Jiang Ji, Zhang Liao and the others did not plan to use the food channel——

In the city of Hefei at this moment, the three barns were filled to the brim, let alone more than [-] soldiers and horses, even if there were another [-] soldiers and horses, it would be difficult for them to use up the grain reserves every half a year.

This has to say about Jiang Ji...

Jiang Ji is a good official. According to the normal historical development, this person has served the four generations of Cao Wei lords, and is definitely a meritorious official of the Cao Wei camp——

Of course, his main achievements were made when Yangzhou took office, whether he was serving as the Shousun Order or Hefei Order——

He loves the people and loves to make friends with people with lofty ideals. When he was appointed to Hefei and Shouchun, the weather in these two places was good year after year, and basically the granaries were filled every year.

If that's the case, then Jiang Ji is actually a good official in the normal sense.

But today Hefei can stand still under the siege of [-] troops, and the reason for this is another hobby of Jiang Ji...

Jiang Ji is an alcoholic. If it sounds good, he likes drinking, but if he sounds bad, he is an old alcoholic... There are twelve hours a day. As a commoner in Hefei, if you want to see a sober Jiang Ji, either Get up early, or come back late—

Two hours after he got up in the morning, Jiang Ji was handling official business. At night, when everything in the house was over, Jiang Ji went home with a wine cup. Only during these two time periods, he was sober and did not drink.

And because of drinking, he was very sad about the harvest of grain. When other officials went to a place, they often had to do some major things, such as suppressing bandits, such as issuing decrees, in short, to make them check every year. At that time, there was a name on the list, and a word was added... But what about Jiang Ji?

In order to be able to drink well, Jiang Ji personally went to the field to farm, watch the sky, and know the calendar. To some extent, he was better at planting food than some old farmers.

And because of this strange skill, Jiang Ji sent people to collect this year's grain in advance outside the city in order to prevent wars before he received the Soochow people attacking Hefei - even if he gave up some fineness for this. and yield...

Sure enough, when the war broke out in Xiangyang, Hefei was the first city to support Xiangyang's grain and grass, and although a batch of grain and forage had been delivered, when the Soochow people arrived, there was still a considerable reserve of grain in the city - after knowing this, Zhang Liao was really happy. I've had a few bowls of wine...

Therefore, Zhang Zhao wanted to besiege the city in an attempt to completely trap tens of thousands of Cao's troops in the city.

But they didn't know that all this was in the hands of Zhang Liao and Jiang Jiwen.

They were afraid that the other party would not besiege the city... Otherwise, the extremely torturous tactics in the second half of the kit sent by Yi Xiaotian would be difficult to use.

The naive Zhang Zhao thought it was his steady and steady fighting that made the defenders in the city dare not act rashly. He had just been depressed for half a day, and turned his head to besiege the city, and Zhang Zhao began to make a big cake for his subordinates again.

"When everything is ready, we will attack the city together today! Do our best to consume the opponent's strength... Within half a month... The enemy will fall!"

Only this time, no one was willing to deal with Zhang Zhao.

Sometimes things are so realistic. It's not a big problem if the troops and horses are broken. The point is that people's hearts are scattered. Many times, this cohesion is difficult to find again——

Zhang Zhao looked embarrassedly at the busy soldiers, stomped his feet, went back to the tent without a word and drank the boring wine... He is arrogant, admired by the stars, and highly respected, just like a monarch. Like old Zhang Ge.

Making him realize his mistakes was sometimes far more difficult than killing him—of course, killing him was not easy, and this was what Zhang Liao had to consider.

...

It's day, when the sun hangs overhead.

In the dull Soochow formation, the long-lost horn finally sounded...

woo... woo... woo...

This trumpeted the spirits of the soldiers all the time. Obviously, at this moment, they put shackles on the people of Soochow who had lost most of their spirits.

This is not to attack the city with all our strength... this is to rush to the execution ground...

The competent generals such as Zhu Huan, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Jiajiang Qin Zhuzhi and other generals, who were as competent as before, were anxious for their own deployment and launched an attack on the city wall from the four directions of Hefei City——

Similarly, the Hefei defenders, which sprang up like mushrooms on the city wall, also launched a strong and organized counterattack against the enemy's desperate offensive.

The screams of killing all day long, blood stained the sky over Hefei... Hefei, in less than half a day, turned into a meat grinder as cruel as Xiangyang, ruthlessly swallowing life... Especially the people of Soochow s life.

Chapter [-] "In order to fight against foreigners, we must first settle down"

It may be really riveting. There are very few soldiers in the Eastern Wu who really retreated in this battle. One by one, they were all struggling to lose their arms and legs, and they had to kill the city wall... In the fight for an inch of land, they even To pay the price of ten, or even hundreds of lives.

Zhang Liao and Wenpin are both very good at defending battles. Hefei City is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and on the wide city walls on all sides, there are always flying messengers everywhere-they quickly surveyed the intensity of the battle, and then Report to the two generals who are still elsewhere.

Under such a near-perfect cooperation, a long tug-of-war unfolded on the city wall of Hefei—sometimes it was clearly that the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty had already killed the wall, and they were about to take down a high-level tower, but in a blink of an eye they found that they were coming. The cloud ladder and other roads have been completely destroyed. They are desperate, facing the counterattack of the powerful Cao army, and despairing of the situation where they cannot retreat... Going and returning is probably the most realistic portrayal of this group of Soochow soldiers today.

Therefore, what seemed to be a close-knit battle, actually ended in a fiasco of the Soochow soldiers.

As the sun sets, Ming Jin withdraws his troops.

Rao is a ruthless Zhang Zhao, and he can't bear to waste the soldiers under his hands like this.

"Why...why...why is this!"

The sound of Ming Jin spread all over the city of Hefei. The soldiers of Soochow Wu, who seemed to have finally been relieved, hurriedly evacuated this slaughterhouse, which was easy to feel numb to life and death, as if they were running away.

Zhu Huan and the others looked unwillingly at the Cao Jun, who spoke out nonsense and ridiculed them on the city wall, and also exchanged glances with the two generals of Cao Jun, Zhang Liao and Wen Ping, who remained motionless on the city wall.

"Why is this! You have already attacked the city wall! You can't add more force and hit the opponent to the ground in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Zhao was so angry that from the perspective of a bystander, Zhu Huan, Zhu Zhi and Zhou Tai on the city wall were fighting each other like headless flies, but they were defeated one by one. Seek cooperation.

In the eyes of his coach, this kind of behavior is a complete failure... So he made no secret of accusing and scolding the generals who are fighting on the front line today.

"Elder Zhang Ge! The siege of the city is not as simple as you think... The enemy generals in the city are Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan who have made great achievements in the south and north with Cao Cao!"

"And... there is another person, who was Liu Biao's confidant general Wen Ping... With these two people in command, even if our offensive is fierce, without the help of slings and sailors... It is difficult for us to simply The tug-of-war to take down this wall in one day..."

Jiang Qin had long been unhappy with Zhang Zhao's attitude on paper, and immediately shouted at Zhang Zhao.

As a result, Zhang Zhao became angry. He thought that Jiang Qin was saying that he didn't understand siege at all. The angry Zhang Zhao's face was flushed, and his breath was like a ripe hawthorn.

He stared fiercely at Jiang Qin, whose waist was quite straight in the distance. He didn't seem to have any regrets at the moment. He pointed at Jiang Qin's nose and insisted:

"General Gongyi, are you shirking responsibility? You fought the city and brought the soldiers. Could it be that you still blame the old man for the fault?"

Jiang Qin frowned, and found that Zhang Zhao seemed to be unable to speak now. He studied military books since childhood, and in his early years, he followed Sun Ce to seek vindication of thieves. In terms of qualifications, he was not much weaker than Zhang Zhao.

But the important thing is that Jiang Qin was born in a poor family, and he was a child of a poor family. He was different from Zhang Zhao, who came from Yangzhou and came from a big family. To be honest, although he was able to lead his troops well, his ability was definitely not small, but he couldn't compare to Zhang Zhao's climbing speed at all.

This time, the gap between Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zhao widened. If Zhang Zhao wanted to punish Jiang Qin's crime at this moment, then Jiang Qin would really be speechless.
